After the greetings, the four of them sat down in turn.
The two seats in the middle are reserved for Minister Chang and Minister Fang respectively.
Li Lan and Song Siyao sat together, whispering about interesting things that had happened recently, talking and laughing.
Liu Bingyun handed the menu to Li Lin and insisted that he order a few more dishes.
Li Lin said, "Master Liu, you don't have to be so polite. Just watch out."
Liu Bingyun then smiled, took back the menu, sat down and continued ordering.
As the dishes were served one after another, Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin knocked on the door and walked in.
When he walked in, he saw that there were only four people. He felt a little disappointed and thought that as he expected, Li Lin did not invite the key leaders.
When Liu Bingyun and Li Lan saw Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin swaggering into the box, they looked puzzled and didn't know who they were.
Li Lin immediately stood up and introduced them to Li Lan and Liu Bingyun, "Director Liu, Sister Lan, this is Director Liang from the Publicity Department of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, and the one behind him is Director Wei."
Oh? It turned out to be Xiaolin's colleague. Li Lan smiled politely at Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin.
When Liu Bingyun heard the identities of Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin, the smile on his face was not as enthusiastic, and was obviously much fainter than when he saw Li Lan and Li Lin. He symbolically nodded to Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin as a greeting.
Li Lin introduced Liang Xiangwen again, "Minister Liang, this is Director Liu of the Provincial TV Station, this is my sister Li Lan, and that is Deputy Director Song."
Director Liu? Liang Xiangwen's heart tightened when he heard this name, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became tense.
He never expected that Song Siyao actually invited Director Liu to come...
He walked forward with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically stretched out his hands to shake Liu Bingyun's hands, "Hello, Director Liu, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today!"
As the director of the provincial television station, Liu Bingyun was actually not interested in local officials like Liang Xiangwen.
But today, for Li Lin's sake, he stood up for the first time and shook hands with Liang Xiangwen and Wei Minmin in a very gentle manner.
However, the smile on his face only lasted for two seconds. The moment he let go of my hand, his face turned cold. During the whole process, he didn't say a single word except for a polite smile.
Perhaps he was too lazy to deal with local officials like Liang Xiangwen.
Liang Xiangwen didn't care about Liu Bingyun's cold attitude at all. He was still enthusiastic. He walked up to Li Lan, stretched out his hands excitedly and shook hands with Li Lan, and said gratefully, "Minister Li, thank you for your support and help to the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Don't worry, if you need me in the future, just tell me and I will do my best!"
He glanced at Li Lin, then said to Li Lan as if to show his loyalty, "The relationship between me and Li Lin is beyond words. Whether it's work or life, as long as he comes to me for help, I never say a word. I really treat him as a brother! Hehehe..."
Who calls you a brother? Is it hypocritical?
Li Lin smiled secretly, thinking that Liang Xiangwen didn't use his cleverness in work, but spent it all on flattery and fawning on others. No wonder he became bald at such a young age. He is so smart!
Although Li Lan knew that Liang Xiangwen's words were all flattery, he still kept smiling and said politely, "Thank you Minister Liang for taking care of Li Lin in work and life. If there is anything I can help with in the future, please feel free to contact me."
"Oh! Thank you Minister Li, thank you... I am really grateful that you said that..." Liang Xiangwen was humble and kept thanking.
As the executive vice minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, Li Lan has a great influence on the transfer of these department-level officials.
Liang Xiangwen also knew in his heart how valuable Li Lan's promise of "contact me anytime" was.
So, he was excited and grateful from the bottom of his heart.
When it was Song Siyao's turn, Liang Xiangwen was about to shake hands with her, but Song Siyao had a stern face and her attitude was even colder than Liu Bingyun's.
What's going on? What did I do wrong? Liang Xiangwen felt Song Siyao's cold attitude and his heart was beating fast.
He gritted his teeth and said to Song Siyao with a smile on his face, "Deputy Director Song, thank you very much today..."
Song Siyao sneered, and before he could finish his polite words, she said to him impatiently, "Okay, sit down quickly. There will be important leaders coming soon, so just don't talk nonsense when the time comes."
The reason why she was so indifferent was that inviting Liang Xiangwen was already a favor to Li Lin. She didn't expect that Liang Xiangwen was so ignorant and even brought an extra subordinate with him?
Minister Fang and Minister Chang were going to be there tonight, and his casual attitude clearly showed that he didn't take the banquet seriously! Therefore, she felt a little unhappy.
Liang Xiangwen was stunned and surprised when he heard Song Siyao's words. He thought, is there a more important leader coming than Director Liu?
Only then did he notice that there were two empty seats at the main table, so he nodded to everyone and carefully looked for his seat.
Looking around, he realized that he could only sit below Li Lin...
He was a little reluctant. After all, he was Li Lin's leader, and his rank was much higher than Li Lin's. How could he sit under him?
Li Lin was very perceptive. He immediately stood up and gave up his seat, saying modestly, "Minister Liang, you and Director Wei sit here..."
Liang Xiangwen was delighted to see that he could sit next to Director Liu, so he walked over and prepared to sit down.
Unexpectedly, just when his butt was about to touch the chair, Liu Bingyun suddenly said, "Minister Liang, please move over there a little, and let Li Lin sit next to me."
