After the meeting, Li Xiuyuan saw that it was already six o'clock, so he didn't dawdle any longer and prepared to drive to the county. On the way back to the central town, Li Xiuyuan sent a message to Su Ziying, asking where she was.
Su Ziying replied quickly.
"We're all waiting for you at the restaurant, Secretary Li."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he saw the message. Secretary Li? Su Ziying had never called him that before. In the central town, everyone called him "Mayor Li". Only in the county, some people with good relationships were still willing to call him that.
Soon, Li Xiuyuan thought of Wei Keding's restaurant and realized that he often ate at Xiaokang Restaurant. Could it be that someone at Xiaokang Restaurant had mentioned that name?
Li Xiuyuan's guess was correct. Su Ziying had no classes in the afternoon, so she accompanied Wei Ke to book a restaurant. After Wei Ke arrived at the restaurant, she first booked a private room. When ordering food, she remembered what Xiao Lüping had said in the morning: perhaps places like this would know Li Xiuyuan's tastes.
She tried asking, and Xiaokang Restaurant certainly knew. Well, how should I put it, county-level leaders basically never come to their restaurant; it's mostly section-level cadres and those clerks who like to curry favor.
As for those honest and unassuming clerks, they rarely come here.
Among the guests who came, Li Xiuyuan, who was the county magistrate's secretary back then, was definitely one of the most influential people. Even now that Li Xiuyuan has gone to the countryside, he still has a lot of influence in the county.
Everyone knows that Li Xiuyuan has a good relationship with the directors of the Finance Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau, two key positions.
Therefore, they certainly knew Li Xiuyuan's tastes and preferences.
Listening to the waiter's introduction, Su Ziying felt that the waiter knew Li Xiuyuan better than she did. At least she didn't know what Li Xiuyuan liked to eat except steamed buns, but a supervisor from the county restaurant actually knew.
She usually saw that Li Xiuyuan was not arrogant in the central town and went to the steamed bun shop with her all the time. She did not expect him to be so famous in the county. So when Li Xiuyuan sent her a message, she teased him.
Xiao Rui also arrived early and was looking around the restaurant with some surprise. He didn't expect there to be such a place in this small county town. The decoration and the level of the restaurant were not bad, let alone in a small county town, even in the provincial capital.
Of course, none of his students in the provincial capital had ever been to a place like this before, so when he arrived at the private room, his first question to Wei Ke was, "Teacher Wei, how much does a meal cost here?"
"I don't know, don't worry about it. I've also ordered a bottle of good wine. Let's have a good drink tonight. Who knows when we'll see each other again?" Wei Ke was very generous. She hadn't even spent the money she had prepared for the paperwork, so what was a meal?
"Huh? You're drinking too?"
"Okay, have a drink. There are no cars tonight, so I've booked an extra room. If you drink too much, you can sleep at the hotel and go back tomorrow," Wei Ke said with a smile. She was very thoughtful.
After Wei Ke finished speaking, he asked, "By the way, where is Mayor Li? Is he almost done with his work?"
"No, they were still in a meeting when I left."
