Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yan Yan panicked and cautiously said to Cui Huabiao, "Um, Huabiao, you're talking to someone, so we'll be leaving now."
"Hey, Xiao Cui, who are these two young ladies? Come and have dinner with us." The secretary came over with a fawning smile.
"No, no, no, you guys eat, we...we're leaving, we're leaving." Yan Yan was so frightened that she grabbed Su Xue Li's hand and tried to leave.
"Don't go, don't go!" The secretary reached out and grabbed Yan Yan's arm.
He said enthusiastically, "It's lunchtime, how can we leave? Xiao Cui, since you know each other, why don't you invite them to our table and eat together?"
Cui Huabiao immediately changed his expression, smiling broadly at Yan Yan and Su Xueli, saying, "Secretary Zhang has spoken, you two don't need to be polite, come and have dinner with us."
Su Xueli noticed that although she clearly saw Secretary Zhang holding Yan Yan's arm, he did nothing.
Su Xueli had no choice but to snatch Xueli's arm from Secretary Zhang's hand and boldly pull Yan Yan towards their table.
Once seated, Cui Huabiao proudly introduced his two daughters: "Yanyan, Xueli, this is our town's newly appointed Party Secretary, Secretary Zhang. It's a great honor to have dinner with Secretary Zhang today, hahaha..."
This was the first time Yan Yan had ever met such a high-ranking official. She was so frightened that her voice trembled, and she managed to squeeze out, "Secretary Zhang."
Secretary Zhang looked at Yan Yan with eyes full of sweetness, and hurriedly agreed, "Oh, oh, oh, don't be so polite. Xiao Cui, I haven't asked yet, what's your relationship with these two young ladies?"
Cui Huabiao immediately sat up straight, glanced at Yan Yan, and said in a condescending manner, "This is my fiancée Yan Yan. This is her good friend Xue Li."
"Oh my, this young lady is your fiancée!" Secretary Zhang exclaimed in surprise.
Su Xueli keenly noticed that he glanced at Cui Huabiao with a look of disgust.
Yes, he also felt that a beautiful flower was stuck in cow dung.
Cui Huabiao said condescendingly, "Yes, although she is uneducated and her family is not well-off, she is gentle and virtuous. After marrying into my family, she will take good care of my parents, take care of my daily life, and be a good helpmate to me."
Then he gave Yan Yan a stern look, "Right, Yan Yan?"
Yan Yan nodded shyly.
Su Xueli really wanted to punch Cui Huabiao's head, but she held back and watched coldly.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhang praised Cui Huabiao for his good judgment and good fortune, saying that Yan Yan had the appearance of someone who would bring good luck to her husband, and urged Cui Huabiao to marry her quickly, as he would be promoted if he did.
Su Xueli blinked. Was this an implication?
Cui Huabiao's eyes lit up, and he chuckled as he asked, "Really, Secretary Zhang? We're getting married on May Day, so does that mean my request to be transferred to the town as an accountant will be approved?"
Secretary Zhang said in a very serious tone, "Yes! It's definitely possible!"
When the dishes were served, Cui Huabiao insisted that Secretary Zhang start eating first, but Secretary Zhang insisted that the two young ladies start eating first. Of course, he mainly wanted to curry favor with Yan Yan. He pointed to a plate of fish and said, "Miss Yan Yan, you eat first. Ladies first. The two ladies eat first."
Yan Yan dared not, and looked timidly at Cui Huabiao.
"Then I shall accept your offer." Su Xueli unceremoniously picked up a large piece of fish and placed it on her small plate.
She picked up another piece and put it on Yan Yan's plate.
Cui Huabiao's face darkened, but Su Xueli, focused on the food and ignored his expression, saying, "Let him do whatever he wants, I'll just pick up my chopsticks and start sweeping the plate."
