After three glasses of wine, a blush appeared on Li Lan's face, and the sexiness and charm of an intellectual woman were difficult to conceal.
Peng Yutao struck while the iron was hot and stood up and drank six cups first, intending to toast three cups to each person present.
He walked to the right side of Li Lan and said with a hearty smile, "Minister Li is young and promising, and his future is limitless. I, Old Peng, will inevitably come to disturb you in the future. Minister Li, please don't turn me away when the time comes, hahahaha..."
Li Lan stood up, took the glass of wine poured by Peng Yutao, and smiled, "Secretary Peng is too modest. With Secretary Peng's ability, his future is truly limitless. I'll drink this glass of wine. My brother is in Pingyang City, and he will rely on Secretary Peng to take care of him in the future."
Peng Yutao glanced at Li Lin sitting opposite him in surprise, thinking that Li Lan was notoriously difficult to approach in the provincial government. It was difficult to even meet her, let alone have a meal with her.
This time, the municipal party committee specially prepared a welcome banquet for her. I thought she would flatly refuse, but I never expected that she would decisively agree...
Now that she thought about it, the reason why she acted out of character was because of this boy in front of her...
Li Lin is really lucky! Suddenly, a sister of a high-ranking official of the provincial government appeared. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After toasting Li Lan, he should have continued to toast from Deputy Secretary Lan Xiaoqin, but he bypassed everyone and went straight to Li Lin, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone,
"Xiao Lin, you really should be fined two more drinks today. Why didn't you tell everyone earlier that Minister Li is your sister?"
"If we had known about your relationship with Minister Li earlier, we would have focused on training you no matter what!"
Everyone heard it clearly. What Peng Yutao meant was that if Li Lan had given a heads-up earlier, Li Lin would not have been sent to Weishui Township, a remote town where no one lived, to suffer.
He said this to Li Lan, saying that he did not know about her relationship with Li Lin before, which was why he made the arrangement to demote Li Lin. He hoped that Li Lan could understand.
Now that we know their relationship, we will definitely reuse her in the next step, so please rest assured!
The municipal party secretary personally proposed a toast, what a great honor!
But Li Lin did not show any excitement or restraint. Instead, he politely declined, "Secretary Peng, I don't deserve this glass of wine."
"Oh?" Peng Yutao showed a surprised expression on his face. With his absolute status in Pingyang City, no one dared to refuse his toast to his face. He was very curious about Li Lin's reason.
Li Lan held his chin with one hand and looked at Li Lin with interest, a smile in his eyes.
The rest of the people also looked at Li Lin in surprise, thinking that even if Minister Li is your sister, you wouldn't be so rude when the municipal party secretary toasts you, right?
