Li Huan was not good at speaking and had nothing much to say to ordinary people. He said nothing, nor did he stand up. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
It shows your generosity.
Wang Lun didn't seem dissatisfied at all, even though he was standing there the whole time.
He then began to introduce Mayor Hao and the other two to Tang Xiaobao and Li Huan.
Tang Xiaobao and Li Huan still didn't stand up. Even though the three of them toasted them, they didn't finish their drinks. This was quite impolite, right? But in the eyes of these three people, being able to drink with Tang Xiaobao and his friends was a great honor in itself. It was good enough that they drank with you, but they also did it with you? You were overthinking it.
Not only did they not feel wronged, but they felt like they had taken advantage.
After drinking some wine, Tang Xiaobao asked Li Zhonghua: "Mr. Li, why don't you let them sit down and have a chat?"
How could Li Zhonghua dare to object now? He was eager for this and was fantasizing about using today's opportunity to get closer to Tang Xiaobao and the people present. He didn't dare to look down on Tang Xiaobao and Li Meng anymore. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly asked the waiter to bring some sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Wang Lun sat down, looked at the dishes in front of him, frowned and said, "Boss Li, this dish is too shabby, isn't it?"
Indeed, among the dishes ordered today, few are high-end. They are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the key is that there are not many of them.
Obviously, in the eyes of Li Zhonghua and Xia Yiyi, guests like Tang Xiaobao and Li Huan were not worthy of respect, so they just dealt with them casually. If they didn't want Li Meng to give them a big thumbs up, they might not even be able to eat the meal.
Li Zhonghua's face turned red and he asked the waiter to serve the dishes again quickly.
After everyone sat down, Li Zhonghua was about to start toasting, but he was a little hesitant. Who should he pour wine for first?
After thinking about it, he poured wine for Wang Lun first.
Wang Lun was startled.
With Tang Xiaobao here, how could he have a turn? Isn't this just pushing him into the fire pit? He frowned and said quickly: "Boss Li, you are too ignorant. Boss Tang is here, and Mr. Li is here too. Aren't you too rude?"
Li Zhonghua blushed and came to pour wine for Tang Xiaobao again.
This was the first time he took the initiative to pour wine tonight.
But Tang Xiaobao didn't give him any face at all.
Li Meng has already said that she will only give out 1,000 yuan in red envelopes.
This shows that Li Meng has completely given up on his relationship with Xia Yiyi, so why would he give her any face?
He blocked the cup with his hand and said, "You just wanted to invite me and my brother to your company to guard the gate. I can't bear to trouble you to pour wine. I can't afford it."
puff……
Wang Lun, Mayor Hao and others almost fell down.
Damn, is Li Zhonghua out of his mind? He actually wants Tang Xiaobao and his brothers to guard the gate. How ignorant, ridiculous and brainless is that?
They also noticed that Tang Xiaobao and Li Meng were very dissatisfied with Li Zhonghua now, and they were deliberately trying to embarrass him. Naturally, they would not say anything and would wait and see. If the time really came, they would not mind adding fuel to the fire.
Li Zhonghua's face turned even redder, and he was extremely embarrassed for a moment. "It was just a joke, Mr. Tang, please don't take it seriously. I'll drink one glass of wine as punishment, no, three glasses of wine as an apology to Mr. Tang."
He drank as soon as he said he would, and he actually drank three cups in a row, then looked at Tang Xiaobao pitifully.
Tang Xiaobao laughed out loud: "So it was just a joke, I actually took it seriously. Well, if that's the case, let's just forget about it. However, I've already finished my drink, so you should pour my brother some wine and see if he wants some."
Li Zhonghua cursed in his heart, but he could only endure it.
Since he needed Wang Lun's help, how could he dare to offend Tang Xiaobao?
He didn't know Tang Xiaobao's true identity, but since Wang Lun was so respectful to him, it was obvious that he was definitely a powerful boss. He really couldn't afford to offend such a person.
So, he could only pour wine for Li Meng.
"Brother Li, you and Yiyi grew up together, so you're family. Come, thank you for taking care of Yiyi since she was a child. How about we have a drink?"
In his opinion, Li Meng is the easiest to talk to.
He had heard from Yiyi that Li Meng had given her several million over the years. This showed that Li Meng was not only stupid, but also had real feelings for Xia Yiyi.
Such a person is so easy to deal with.
After saying that, he winked at Xia Yiyi.
Xia Yiyi understood and immediately said, "Li Meng, drink up. What are you standing there for?"
She has always been like this to Li Meng, never considering the other person's feelings when speaking. No matter how much Li Meng gives to her, she feels that this is just a waste of time.
It was natural. She knew that Li Meng liked her, so she used this as an excuse to ask for money. After many years, it became a habit.
Now, her attitude wasn't very nice, it was more like she was giving orders.
Li Meng was completely hopeless, and shook his head with a wry smile: "No, I've already had enough to drink, and I'm leaving here early tomorrow morning, and I might never come back in this lifetime, so I can't drink too much tonight."
"Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Xia Yiyi was stunned: "Tomorrow is my wedding day. Didn't you come back specifically to attend our wedding?"
"It used to be, but now it's not necessary."
Li Meng spoke directly, and suddenly asked Secretary Qin beside her: "By the way, Secretary Qin, is the orphanage in the south of the city still there?"
Secretary Qin didn't dare to disrespect Li Meng. He knew exactly who Mr. Tang was. Tang Xiaobao had just praised Li Meng highly. He answered carefully, "Yes, yes. However, we may have to move. Planning is about to begin there, and we're looking for a new place."
"Can we keep the orphanage?"
Li Meng frowned and asked.
Secretary Qin and County Magistrate Meng looked at each other and nodded together. He then turned to Li Meng and said, "Well, County Magistrate Meng and I have always been against demolition. Since Mr. Li wants to keep it, then we should keep it."
County Magistrate Meng said at the right moment, "Secretary Qin, I think the orphanage is a bit old. How about our county government allocate some funds to renovate it?"
Mayor Hao, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately said, "There's no point in renovating it. Why don't you just rebuild it on the original site? Don't worry about the funding. I'll help you get it when I get back."
With just one word from Li Meng, three local leaders expressed their opinions.
For a moment, Xia Yiyi was stunned.
Isn't Li Meng too proud of herself?
Just with this one sentence, the orphanage was preserved?
Do you need to build a new one?
She looked at Li Meng with admiration.
Li Meng also felt a little grateful and said, "I grew up there when I was a child. On behalf of the orphanage, I would like to express my gratitude to the leaders. How about this? I have two million here. Secretary Qin, please donate it to the orphanage on your behalf. And I will donate two million every year from now on!"
