10:20, Spring Tea House.
A black car stopped steadily in front of the teahouse. A young man with a crew cut and wearing a mask got out of the car and walked straight into the teahouse.
He handed the front desk clerk five thousand yuan and said, "Apply for a card!"
The girl at the front desk was naturally very enthusiastic in the face of such a generous guest, and invited him upstairs with a smile on her face.
While choosing a private room, the man toured the entire teahouse inside and out.
After memorizing the entire layout, he looked up and found a private room next to the fire escape stairs - Chunshui Pavilion.
"Let's book this one. We'll serve the best tea. You don't have to come here unless I ask you to."
"Oh, yes sir, I'll get the tea for you right away."
The man with a crew cut walked into Chunshui Pavilion and took a close look at the layout of the room.
Then his eyes rested on the unopened bucket of purified water.
In a teahouse, new customers are usually given a bucket of purified water on the spot.
This bucket of water is the water that Li Lan is about to drink.
The man with a crew cut closed the door, took out a medical syringe from his arms, inserted the needle and stabbed it into the bucket.
The unknown drug in the syringe was quickly pushed into the pure water.
After doing all this, he called the waiter, booked another private room next door, and walked in.
At half past ten, Zhang Tiantian rushed to the Spring Teahouse carrying her briefcase.
Lan Xiaoqin called in advance to tell Zhang Tiantian the room number - Chunshui Pavilion.
She came to the bar and asked the waiter.
"I have booked a private room, Chun Shui Pavilion!"
"Oh, you are Miss Zhang Tiantian, right? This card is for you."
The man with a crew cut opened a card in Zhang Tiantian's name and asked the waiter to hand the card over to Zhang Tiantian.
Zhang Tiantian didn't suspect anything, she just thought Aunt Qin was very generous, charging her card for 5,000 yuan...
She took the card and followed the waiter up to the second floor.
As soon as she entered the room, the waiter took the initiative to sit next to her, opened a whole bucket of purified water in front of Zhang Tiantian, and then boiled water and made tea.
By the time Li Lan arrived, a pot of tea had just been brewed.
"Sister Lan, you are here, please sit down."
Zhang Tiantian walked forward excitedly and put her arm around Li Lan's arm.
Li Lan did not refuse. Following her instructions, he sat down in the middle seat.
"Tiantian, what's the hurry?"
Zhang Tiantian pondered for a moment and then sent the waiter away.
Tentatively asked Li Lan, "Sister Lan, there is something I want to ask you."
"Has the candidate for mayor of Pingyang been decided?"
Li Lan frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Tiantian in confusion.
As far as she knew, Zhang Tiantian's family had no special relationship with the current cadres of Pingyang City.
Why would she care about this?
Li Lan couldn't help but become cautious.
Without waiting for Li Lan to speak.
Zhang Tiantian waved her hands in panic and said, "Sister Lan, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious, so I asked this question. Don't you know that many people in the provincial government are discussing this matter privately... Some people also say..."
"What?" Li Lan asked coldly.
She had some suspicions that Zhang Tiantian's purpose in calling her here was not simple.
At this moment, she noticed a heavy handbag at Zhang Tiantian's feet...and her heart sank.
"Tiantian, just do your job well. There are some things you shouldn't ask." Li Lan said with a sigh.
She originally wanted to get up and leave, but Zhang Tiantian was still young after all, and she might have been bewitched by someone.
Zhang Tiantian lowered her head with shame on her face, hesitating and saying, "Sister Lan, I know I was wrong..."
She subconsciously reached for the handbag...
This action happened to be captured by Li Lan.
Li Lan shouted coldly, "If you take it out, we won't even be friends anymore!"
"You may even lose your public office."
"You'd better think it over."
Zhang Tiantian quickly retracted her hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
Li Lan stood up and was about to leave without even drinking a sip of tea.
Zhang Tiantian knew she was in the wrong, and at this moment, like a child who had done something wrong, she pursed her lips and said, "Sister Lan... I didn't mean to offend you... I was wrong, I won't say anything, let's just have a simple cup of tea, and forgive me, okay?"
Li Lan was still standing there, a comforting smile slowly showing on her stern face. She comforted herself that after all, Zhang Tiantian was still young and inexperienced, and it was not entirely her fault that she was bewitched.
She smiled and said, "Tiantian, let's drink it another day. I really have something to do at noon. I'll leave first."
"Sister Lan..."
Zhang Tiantian stood up, looking aggrieved.
At this time, Li Lan's cell phone rang.
She opened it and saw that it was a message from Li Lin, "Sister, I'm almost there, where are you?"
"I came out for tea with my colleagues and will be back to the apartment soon."
Soon Li Lin's message came again, "Sister, I'm worried, where are you? I'll pick you up."
"It's at the Spring Tea House next to the provincial party committee. Don't worry, it's okay. We'll be back soon."
After sending the message, Li Lan smiled at Zhang Tiantian and said, "I'm leaving first. We'll talk another day."
Zhang Tiantian could only watch Li Lan push the door and leave.
At this moment, the man with a crew cut in the next room saw on the surveillance camera that Li Lan was about to leave without even drinking a sip of water, and he slapped his thigh anxiously.
He cursed Zhang Tiantian in his heart, calling her a fool! She couldn't even handle such a small matter!
But the opportunity is not to be missed, how can I just watch Li Lan leave?
It may not be easy to find such an opportunity again!
Without thinking any more, the man with a crew cut pushed the door open and took out a handkerchief soaked in medicine from his pocket.
