At six o'clock in the evening, the setting sun was like a burning flame, dyeing the sky bright red.
The afterglow seemed to be stained with blood, exuding a tragic and poignant atmosphere.
Dongsheng Hotel, No. 1 box.
The host city party secretary Peng Yutao sat upright in the main seat, while Li Lan sat on his right as the guest of honor.
Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Lan Xiaoqin, Executive Vice Mayor Gao Huating, Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister Lin Zheng... Eight municipal party committee leaders took their seats in turn, and Liu Yong sat at the side.
Peng Yutao raised his hand to check the time, then looked at the vacant seat opposite him, and said to Li Lan with a smile, "Minister Li, we have known each other for a while, but how come I have never heard that you have any acquaintances in Pingyang City?"
Li Lan smiled and said, "You should all know this acquaintance of mine. He is my younger brother and used to work in the Pingyang Municipal Government."
"Oh? That makes me even more curious. Would you mind telling me about it first?" Peng Yutao smiled restrainedly. He was indeed very curious. If Li Lan had a younger brother in Pingyang, he should have known it long ago.
"Secretary Peng, I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll know when we meet." Li Lan said with a mysterious smile.
Lin Zhengze, who was standing by, noticed something and wondered, could this brother of hers be referring to Li Lin?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a breath.
Li Lin was sent to Weishui Township by the municipal government, which means he was demoted.
Could it be that Li Lan wanted to take this opportunity to vindicate Li Lin in front of all the city leaders?
This woman is really bold and daring!
All the city leaders were grumbling at the moment. As Li Lan was the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, her brother would have to be at least a county-level cadre if he was in Pingyang City...
But after racking my brains to think of a lot of names of county-level and above cadres with the surname Li, I couldn't find one that matched my age.
Could it be a cadre below the county or department level?
Everyone found it unbelievable...and couldn't help but have many speculations about Li Lan's mysterious brother.
Outside the box.
Wei Haiyang, secretary of the municipal party committee secretary, the director of the municipal party committee office, the director of the municipal government office, and two secretaries of municipal leaders from the municipal party committee secretariat... were all sitting in the living room outside the box, drinking tea while waiting for the banquet for the leaders they served to end.
Standing among this group of department-level cadres and city leaders' secretaries, Lu Yu Ming stood out like a crane among chickens.
He always had a huge smile on his face, as if it would never disappear.
Even though people around him looked down upon him, he still kept smiling.
He took out a box of expensive cigarettes from the exquisite leather bag he was carrying, and then began to move among the popular people around the city party committee leaders.
Every time he approached someone, he would carefully hand over a cigarette and say in a humble tone: "Come, leader, have a cigarette." Then, he would quickly light his lighter and light the cigarette for the other person.
Throughout the whole process, his movements were gentle and delicate, for fear that any mistake would cause dissatisfaction or disgust among anyone here.
After handing over the cigarette, he smiled, bowed, and retreated to a corner of the living room to sit down. At this time, he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and he had completely lost the arrogance and domineering attitude of the top leader of Weishui Township!
First floor lobby.
Weishui Township Deputy Head Chen Hao and Organization Committee Member Zhao Jie were sitting on the sofa in the hall, smoking and drinking mineral water out of boredom.
The two of them came with Lu Yu Ming. When they heard that there was an opportunity to toast the city leaders, they rushed to follow Lu Yu Ming.
When I got here, I realized that I was not even qualified to get close to the box, let alone toast!
It is a blessing to be able to meet the company leaders in the hall.
"This Dongsheng Hotel is indeed the most luxurious hotel in the city. It's worth the trip to come here to see it all..." Zhao Jie couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dazzling crystal lights above his head.
"Those who can come to this place to eat are all well-known figures in Pingyang. It is a great honor for us to accompany Secretary Lu here!" Chen Hao nodded in agreement, his face full of pride.
Just as the two were chatting casually, a familiar figure came into their sight.
When the two saw who was coming, they couldn't help but wipe their eyes and exclaimed, "Li Lin?!"
"What is he doing here?"
The two of them immediately stood up and walked towards Li Lin.
"Li Lin, why are you here?"
Li Lin didn't expect to run into these two bitches here. He frowned and asked them, "What are you two doing here?"
The two smiled at each other and said with some pride, "Of course I am here to accompany Secretary Lu to the banquet! What about you? You are not here to be a waiter because your salary is not enough, right?"
These two bitches never spit out ivory.
Li Lin smiled, glanced at the place where the two had just sat, and said sarcastically, "Attending the banquet? Secretary Lu let you two drink mineral water in the hall?"
"You...I...the banquet hasn't started yet and we're just waiting here temporarily!" Both of them looked extremely embarrassed and tried their best to argue.
"Okay! You guys keep waiting, I won't accompany you!"
After saying that, Li Lin turned around and went upstairs, leaving the two bitches standing there staring at each other in confusion.
As the most luxurious hotel in Pingyang, Dongsheng Hotel is often used by the municipal government to receive distinguished guests.
Li Lin used to socialize here frequently with Mayor Qian, so he was not unfamiliar with this place.
After going up to the second floor, Li Lin went straight to the No. 1 private room.
When he passed the living room outside the box, Wei Haiyang, secretary of the municipal party committee secretary, was the first to see Li Lin, and a look of shock instantly appeared on his face.
"Li Lin?"
