After Wang Yi finished speaking, Wang Lei and He Meili were both stunned.
"Executive Deputy Mayor?"
"Xiaoyi, you're kidding, right? How old is Li Xiuyuan?"
Both of them looked surprised. Wang Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding. He's the executive deputy mayor of Zhongxin Town. He came from the county government office to take up the position. He's the same age as me, and he's already deputy mayor. How could he not have family connections?"
Wang Lei looked at his wife. He agreed with his daughter. How could there be no connection?
He Meili was no longer confident. Could it be that the Li family really had some unknown relative who was a high-ranking official? Otherwise, how could they possibly promote a young man to be deputy mayor?
"I'm going to go sit down with Simin tomorrow. Is Simin hiding something from me?"
"What's the point of asking? If they don't want to talk about it, what's the point of asking?" Wang Lei shook his head, then looked at his daughter Wang Yi and asked, "It doesn't matter whether this is related or not. The key is, Xiaoyi, what do you think?"
Wang Yi was a little dazed when she heard her mother's question. What did she think?
"What am I thinking?"
"You and Li Xiuyuan, are you interested in him? If so, ask your mother to help bring them together." Wang Lei said. It would be a great thing for his daughter to marry a deputy mayor.
Wang Yi didn't mean that at all. She and her boyfriend hadn't even started dating yet, and she had already clearly rejected him before. Now that he was the deputy mayor, she agreed. How could a young woman be so shameless?
He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, Dad, what are you talking about?"
"You still look down on him? He is now the deputy mayor. He is so young. If he perseveres, he may become a director in the future." He Meili also tried to persuade him.
Wang Yi shook her head. "Mom, why are you like this? What does the deputy mayor or the director have to do with me? I just don't like it."
"Okay, don't regret it in the future." He Meili shook her head.
Wang Lei didn't say anything else, but just told his wife to hang out with Li Simin more in the future.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan in the central town was about to finish his dinner. Li Xiuyuan didn't drink much. Zhang Yucai and Zhang Zhihao were also restrained and felt awkward during the dinner.
Especially Zhang Yucai, who had a smile on his face throughout the whole process. It didn't look like he was entertaining a junior, but rather a leader. In fact, Li Xiuyuan was very used to such dinners. This was the norm within the system.
But this was not a gathering within the system after all, and Zhang Yucai was his sister's uncle, so he couldn't really treat him as a subordinate, so the meal was a bit awkward.
After dinner, Li Xiuyuan sat with his sister for a while and drank some tea. He told his sister to go back home when she was free, and then he was ready to leave. The main reason was that Wang Zhitao had sent a message ten minutes ago saying that he had driven over.
"Xiuyuan, we've been drinking and it's cold at night, so why not stay here? Stay for one night. The room has been cleaned up." Zhang Yucai hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Uncle Zhang, I have a dormitory in the town, it's not far away, I can just go back and live there."
