Inside the private room of Xiaokang Restaurant, the environment was very elegant. After hearing Xiao Rui say that Li Xiuyuan was still in a meeting, Wei Ke subconsciously checked the time. It was already six o'clock, and the agreed time had arrived.
"Is Mayor Li still in a meeting? How long is he going to keep going?"
Hearing Wei Ke's words, Xiao Rui shook his head. Su Ziying, who was standing next to him, wanted to say something, but Li Xiuyuan was already on his way. He had just sent her a message.
Li Xiuyuan's arrival in the county is different from theirs. They have to wait for a bus, which wastes time, but Li Xiuyuan can come directly. Coming from Meilin Village, it should only take him ten to twenty minutes at most.
However, she realized she couldn't say it now, because she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. When did she and Li Xiuyuan get in touch? And why did they have each other's contact information?
Furthermore, it's unclear why Li Xiuyuan sent her a message before he came.
Wei Ke simply kept quiet, but he wasn't looking for an answer. Instead, he complained, "Mayor Li is doing this for Meilin Village, but the people there don't appreciate it. It's so kind of him to build new houses for everyone for free. What is Mayor Li after?"
He's been running around all day for Meilin Village, but the villagers there don't want to relocate. It's only because of Mayor Li; if it were me, I'd just ignore it and say, "Take it or leave it..."
Wei Ke felt indignant on Li Xiuyuan's behalf. From her perspective, she was inclined to side with Li Xiuyuan. In addition, Li Xiuyuan had indeed done a lot for the people of Meilin Village. Not to mention her, an outsider, even the villagers of Meilin Village acknowledged this.
Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, but that's precisely why Mayor Li is Mayor Li, and why so many people respect him."
Su Ziying was surprised that Wei Ke and Xiao Rui admired Li Xiuyuan so much. They were all young people, especially since they came from the provincial capital. It wasn't that coming from the provincial capital made them any special, but people who come to rural towns tend to be a little arrogant. Yet, Li Xiuyuan had earned their admiration.
As the three were chatting, they heard the door to the private room being pushed open, and the lobby manager stood at the door and said, "Mayor Li, please."
"Okay, thank you." Li Xiuyuan nodded and stepped in. The private room wasn't very big, about the size of a six-person table, but it was definitely more than enough for four people.
At this moment, the main seat was empty. To the left of the main seat were Wei Ke and Su Ziying, and to the right was Xiao Rui.
"Mayor Li is here! Please come in, please come in!" Wei Ke stood up excitedly. She thought Li Xiuyuan would be here for a while, but he arrived right away. Xiao Rui also stood up subconsciously.
Su Ziying hadn't planned to stand up, but since Wei Ke and Xiao Rui had both stood up, it wasn't appropriate for her to remain seated, so she smiled and stood up as well.
"Teacher Wei, Teacher Xiao, Teacher Su." Li Xiuyuan greeted them one by one without refusing, and sat down in the main seat, which meant that the two boys sat together and the two girls sat together.
"Sorry, I was held up by work for a while," Li Xiuyuan explained.
"Not at all, Mayor Li. I know you're busy, you've been working so hard on the new rural construction of Meilin Village," Wei Ke said with a smile, while calling the waiter to bring the dishes.
Li Xiuyuan's gaze fell on Su Ziying, swept over her briefly, and he nodded slightly as a greeting. He hadn't originally wanted to come to this meal, but when Wei Ke told him that Su Ziying was there, he came.
