Li Lin was touched. He didn't expect that he was so important in Li Lan's mind.
Li Lan sat down opposite Li Lin, looked up at him lovingly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Okay, let's talk about work."
She was sitting lower than Li Lin, and her body was deliberately leaning forward, so her snow-white neck and seductive cleavage were clearly visible to Li Lin.
Li Lin felt that his eyes were hit by a flash bomb and he was almost blinded.
He quickly retracted his gaze, stared at his toes nervously, and whispered, "I came here this time...mainly on the request of Mayor Qian. I want to meet the main leaders of the Propaganda Department and the Provincial TV Station to see if I can ask them to help quell the negative news about Pingyang Cotton Mill."
Li Lan realized that she was exposed when she saw Li Lin's shy look. She quickly wrapped her shirt tightly and reached out to pull up her underwear. She smiled and said, "This is not difficult. I will call Minister Chang and ask him to find a way to make an appointment with Minister Fang and several other deputy ministers of the Propaganda Department."
Li Lin looked calm and smiled, adding, "I ran into Song Siyao at the TV station. I didn't expect that she has been promoted to deputy director. I asked her to make an appointment with the leader of the provincial TV station, but she hasn't called me back yet."
"Oh? How come Song Siyao is so unreliable? It doesn't matter, I'll call her and give her a lecture later." Li Lan said like a patriarch, frowning slightly and smiling.
Li Lan and Song Siyao are friends and they interact with each other frequently. They are considered to be one of the few friends of Li Lan in Hanjiang.
Moreover, her successful promotion to deputy director this time was also due to Li Lan's contribution.
Therefore, Song Siyao has always been very respectful to Li Lan, almost to the point of obeying his every word.
This is also the reason why, when Song Siyao knew the relationship between Li Lin and Li Lan, she would do everything she could to help Li Lin.
Just as the two were discussing who to invite in the evening, Song Siyao's phone call came in by chance.
When Li Lin answered the phone, he heard Song Siyao's hearty laughter.
"Li Lin, I'm Song Siyao. I've told Director Liu that you won't have to spend any money tonight. Director Liu will host a banquet for you and Minister Liang. I'll send you the hotel address and room number later. See you tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Director Song..."
Before Li Lin finished thanking him, Li Lan snatched the phone from his ear.
Li Lan said to Song Siyao in a teasing tone, "Director Song, you still have some conscience and know how to save money for my brother... Your provincial budget is so sufficient, what delicious food are you going to treat my brother tonight? Have you reserved a seat for me?"
Song Siyao was surprised to hear Li Lan's voice on the phone. She was stunned for two seconds before she said with a smile, "Xiao Lan? Why are you here too?... Hey, tell me what you want to eat tonight. I'll ask Director Liu to arrange it. If he knew that you, the beautiful head of the Organization Department, would be here, he would be very excited..."
Li Lan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Since your provincial TV station is treating us, how about you invite the deputy ministers of the Propaganda Department, and I will ask Minister Chang to invite Minister Fang. We can form a big plan and take this opportunity to let my brother get to know everyone."
Li Lan did not ask Song Siyao if this arrangement was okay, because she knew that if Song Siyao was not stupid, she would definitely agree.
Because Li Lan often meets with Minister Chang and Minister Fang and they are very familiar with each other, but for Song Siyao, these two ministerial leaders are not so easy to meet.
Being able to take this opportunity to deepen the relationship with the two ministers can be regarded as an opportunity given to her by Li Lan!
Not to mention Song Siyao, even Liu Bingyun would be ecstatic if he knew that the two ministers would be present tonight.
Sure enough, Song Siyao agreed without hesitation, her tone unable to conceal her surprise. She smiled and said, "Xiao Lan, you are not kidding me, are you? Can Minister Fang and Minister Chang really come tonight? Sure! I'll tell Director Liu in a minute and ask him to make good arrangements tonight and prepare for the reception according to the highest standards!"
Li Lan continued to joke with a smile, "Oh, Minister Fang and Minister Chang were given the highest level of reception when they came, but you never mentioned my brother and I? Director Song, why do I feel like you have become more powerful after you got promoted?"
Song Siyao knew that Li Lan was joking and didn't take it to heart. She smiled and replied, "Let's not talk about the standard between us sisters. You treat me to a bowl of spicy hot pot and I treat you to a glass of lemonade. This is the highest standard of treatment. Not to mention our brother Li Lin, he will definitely not care about me as his big sister. Tell him that next time he comes, I will treat him to spicy hot pot."
In this relaxed and pleasant conversation, the two decided on the list of guests for tonight's banquet. Except for Li Lin, all of them were cadres at or above the department level. Of course, Liang Xiangwen was also invited to the banquet, after all, he was Li Lin's leader.
Soon, Song Siyao sent the hotel address and room number to Li Lin's mobile phone.
Li Lan got up to change clothes, wash and put on makeup.
Li Lin called Liang Xiangwen to inform him, "Minister Liang, at 6pm on the third floor of Jianguo Hotel..."
Liang Xiangwen always felt a little strange after receiving Li Lin's phone call. Why didn't Li Lin reveal on the phone which provincial and ministerial leaders were invited tonight?
He frowned and thought for a while, then relaxed his brows and chuckled, "How capable can he be? At most, he invited his sister Minister Li Lan and Deputy Director Song..."
"However, I finally got to meet the provincial leaders. When I return to Pingyang, I can give an explanation to Secretary Peng and Mayor Qian."
"Hey~"
Liang Xiangwen shook his head and sighed. He didn't have high expectations for the scale of tonight's banquet.
