Chapter 353: Let's have a couple of drinks later
Li Chuan is now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in the provincial capital. When such a big leader came, Shen Meng was specially asked to come to receive him. Pu Jiang understood that this was to support Shen Meng. He stayed there for a while before going to the door of the hotel. No matter what, you can only get familiar with people by making friends. He also wanted to climb up, so he naturally had to show his face, otherwise this commendation meeting would be in vain.
When Shen Meng saw Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue, he was very affectionate. Since Qi Mingye retired early two years ago, he took Aunt Chang to settle in the provincial capital. Usually, they would only meet in a hurry when they came back to see Baoguo. Usually, everyone was very busy and there was very little time to sit down and chat together.
"Hehe, this commendation meeting will be held. The county is also stingy. It should be made bigger. If it can't be held, then don't hold it. This is so stingy and disgusting."
Shen Meng touched his nose and said, "Don't say that. After all, it is a kind gesture from the county leaders. Well, Uncle Li, Aunt Qi, let's go in and do it first. Secretary Liao, let's sit inside!"
Li Chuan shook his head and sighed. When he left Ning County, he told his former colleagues that Shen Meng was a talent, and when using talents, remember to comfort them. In the past few years, they may have only remembered the first sentence and actually thought about using him. Hehe, anyway, he would not interfere with what Shen Meng did in the future.
Shen Meng looked at Li Chuan with a kind smile on his face, and admired him in his heart. The provincial capital wanted to transfer him because the foreign exchange incident was reported in various reports at that time. The incident was too big and people from all walks of life were watching. In addition, Li Chuan had been in Ning County for many years, so he should be promoted. There were good places everywhere and positions were fought for. Li Chuan, a county official, could not be arranged too low or too high.
After all, so many eyes were watching, so he was arranged to the Land Reform Bureau, which was neither high nor low. However, the person sitting in this position now is Feng Si.
"Xiao Meng, hey, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you lost weight?"
"No, I haven't lost weight at all. You just feel sorry for me. You must feel that I'm suffering. Aunt Qi, when Mingyang and the others have their winter vacation, I will take them to the provincial capital. We will have a good chat then."
"I really didn't expect that in just five years, our Ning County has developed so well. Every time I come back, I can see changes. These are all thanks to you!"
"Aunt Qi, you can't say that. This is everyone's credit. I dare not take credit for it. Come on, let's sit inside first."
"You're just too humble."
Li Chuan watched Shen Meng carefully support Qi Mingyue. He also had plans in his mind about what his wife had proposed. Over the years, he could go from a small land reform director to his current position, and it was indispensable for Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping to help him.
Nowadays, Lu Zhenping's position is getting higher and higher, and the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger. He also knows that it will be difficult for him to go further.
Shen Meng will definitely be great in the future, and he is willing to help her. When she becomes famous and has a bright future, for the sake of him and Mingyue, she will definitely help her.
When Li Chuan came, he said that he was not here as a leader, but as a member of Shen Meng's family, so Shen Meng directly arranged the two of them to sit in front of Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui.
The old couple sat up straight when they saw such a high-ranking official sitting next to them.
"Old sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hey, Xiao Meng is so capable, I really envy you!"
Wang Guizhi opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out for several times. She coughed twice before she bravely replied, "Not at all. Your daughter is also very outstanding. She will graduate from university this year. She is amazing. She can study hard and run the hairpin factory so well at the same time. It's a great honor to have such a good girl."
Shen Fugui quickly poked her with his arm.
"What are you talking about? Haha, I don't mean anything. I just think Qianqian is a good kid and is ambitious."
Everyone likes others to praise their children. Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan are no exception. They both smile but say that it's not true. As they are chatting, Feng Si comes over. He brings his newly married wife with him. In the past two years, the Land Reform Bureau has become the Urban Construction Bureau. He has more power and more social activities. He has gained three times more weight.
He walked into the door of the state-owned hotel and went straight to Li Chuan and Shen Meng. He didn't even pay attention to Pu Jiang who was standing and walking towards them at the same time.
"Secretary Li, Madam Li, hello, hello, it's been a long time since we last met. Haha, I heard that you were coming today, so I brought some health supplements. You two are usually too busy, so you have to take care of your health, otherwise our subordinates and the public will be so sad!"
Pu Jiang's face suddenly turned dark as he listened. How did this director of the Provincial Urban Construction Bureau get promoted? Did he rely on flattery?
"Ahem, Director Feng, today is the commendation meeting for Comrade Xiao Meng. You must know the priorities!"
Feng Si chuckled and stretched out his hand to take a gift box from his new bride's hand. It was a long and thin box, and it looked like a necklace or a watch, but there was no brand on the outer packaging. Feng Si was smart and cunning, and he knew that the people coming were all important figures, so he was naturally cautious and careful.
"Yes, yes, this is my sister-in-law and not an outsider. She knows what kind of person I am. Hehe, it's okay to be casual. My sister-in-law won't blame me. Sister-in-law, look, this is a small gift I brought you. You must accept it. Hey, why don't you see my captain? Does he have a mission today?"
"Thank you, Director Feng, your captain will come later. It looks like the time is almost up."
"I said, my captain will definitely come on such an important day for you. It doesn't matter if he is busy on other days. Even if it's raining knives from the sky today, he will come."
Shen Meng: "......."
We have known each other for so many years, who doesn't know who? Why are you trying to flatter me? I'm not used to it. It's too greasy!!!
Pu Jiang curled his lips and walked to Li Chuan and Feng Si with a smile. Ning County is now the largest and richest county in Yongping Province. Even if he met the leaders from the provincial capital, he would not be nervous. After all, the economy of the provincial capital depends largely on Ning County.
"Hello, Secretary Li, hello, Director Feng, it's a great honor to come to our Ning County today. I have to have a couple of drinks later!"
Shen Meng pursed her lips and said nothing. Li Chuan smiled, and Feng Si was cold as ice.
