Wei Ke didn't think much of it at first. After all, her suggestion to match Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying was just a casual remark, as if to comfort Li Xiuyuan. In reality, she didn't think there was any possibility between the two.
Because these volunteer teachers will definitely go back to the provincial capital, or they won't stay in the provincial capital. After the volunteer teaching period ends, they will go back to their hometowns. But no matter what, they will not stay in the central town or Huangyuan County, this small county town.
Li Xiuyuan explained it this way: Su Ziying is beautiful and he is not good enough for her. This gave Su Ziying face and showed Li Xiuyuan's humility. Wei Ke thought it was a good thing.
Xiao Rui also felt that Li Xiuyuan was indeed very humble, saying that Su Ziying was beautiful and that he was not good enough for her, which was great.
But Su Ziying was the only one who, after drinking, was unwilling to let Li Xiuyuan distance himself from her so eagerly. Back when they were at Fatty's Steamed Bun Shop, the two were misunderstood, and Li Xiuyuan was like that.
And now it's the same again.
So Su Ziying rolled her eyes at Li Xiuyuan and said somewhat defiantly, "Mayor Li, do you think you're so outstanding that I'm not good enough for you?"
Su Ziying's sharp and confrontational tone immediately made the atmosphere in the private room freeze. Li Xiuyuan could tell that Su Ziying was getting a little carried away.
However, Li Xiuyuan was very adept at defusing this situation: "Teacher Su, if that's how you put it, then I'm going to officially pursue you, okay?"
"Hehe, you wish." Su Ziying spat out, and the lively atmosphere in the private room returned.
Just then, a red Honda Accord pulled up in front of Xiaokang Restaurant. Several people got out of the car, led by Wu Yiyi, with one from the county party committee office and two from the propaganda department.
Today, some city leaders came to inspect, and these people were all accompanying them. After the inspection was over and the leaders finished eating, these staff members didn't get to eat well either. After all, they had been serving the leaders while eating, so they were only able to have a second round of meals.
"Secretary Wu, I'll make the arrangements for everyone today. Don't fight over anything later," said He Ming, deputy director of the county party committee office, with a smile.
"Thank you, Director He. We'll toast Director He a couple more times later," Wu Yiyi said with a smile.
The two propaganda department staff echoed this sentiment.
He Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you are all young people, at the age when you can hold your liquor. I am an old man, how can I keep up with your drinking? Besides, Xiao Tian, Xiao Zheng, you should accompany Secretary Wu of the government to drink well, don't get the wrong person."
He Ming pointed to two young people from the propaganda department. The propaganda department was the county party committee propaganda department, and he was the deputy director of the county party committee office. They were all considered family, but Wu Yiyi was from the county government.
"Director He, Secretary Wu, we'll listen to our leader. If the leader tells us to drink, we'll drink. Anyway, regardless of whether the leader drinks well or not, we'll definitely drink well," said Tian Wei, a junior staff member from the publicity department.
Neither Deputy Director He nor Secretary Wu, theoretically speaking, are their direct superiors, but they are still considered leaders, since both are deputy section chiefs and they are newcomers.
This slightly self-deprecating answer is the most appropriate; it avoids taking sides and offending anyone.
"Xiao Tian, you're really shrewd," He Ming said with a smile, his words carrying a hint of reproach, but his eyes were full of admiration for the young man. With that kind of emotional intelligence, he has potential for future success.
