Chapter 353 Let’s have a drink
Li Chuan is now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in the provincial capital. When such a high-ranking leader came, he specifically asked Shen Meng to come and receive him. Pu Jiang understood that this was to support Shen Meng. He stayed there for a while before going to the entrance of the hotel. No matter what, one can only become familiar with connections by making friends. He also wanted to climb up, so naturally he had to show his face, otherwise this commendation meeting would be in vain.

When Shen Meng saw Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue, they were extremely affectionate. Ever since Qi Mingye retired early two years ago, he took Aunt Chang to settle in the provincial capital. They would only see each other in a hurry when he came back to visit Baoguo. Usually everyone was very busy and had very little time to sit down and chat together.

"Haha, the county is so stingy about this commendation meeting. They have to make it bigger anyway. If they can't hold it, then don't hold it. This is so stingy. It's really annoying."

Shen Meng touched his nose and said, "Don't say that. It's a token of the county leaders' kindness. So, Uncle Li, Aunt Qi, let's go in 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 that when making use of talents, one should also remember to appease them. In recent years, they probably only remembered the first sentence and actually thought of making use of her. Haha, anyway, he would not interfere in what Shen Meng did in the future.

Shen Meng looked at Li Chuan with a kind smile on his face and admired him in her heart. The provincial capital wanted to transfer him away because the foreign exchange issue was reported in various reports at the time. The matter 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. Everywhere is a good place and positions are sought after. Li Chuan is a senior county official, so he can't be arranged to a lower position, nor can he be arranged to a higher position.

After all, so many eyes were watching, so he was originally assigned to the Land Reform Bureau, which was neither high nor low, but 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'm not thin at all. You're just feeling sorry for me. You must feel that I'm suffering. Aunt Qi, when Mingyang and the others have their winter vacation, I'll take them to the provincial capital. We'll have a good chat then."

"I never thought that in just five years, Ning County has developed so well. Every time I come back, I can see the 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 modest."

Li Chuan watched Shen Meng carefully supporting Qi Mingyue. He also had some thoughts in his mind about what his wife had proposed before. Over the years, he was able to rise from a small land reform director to his current position, which was inseparable from the help of Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping.

Now that Lu Zhenping's position is getting higher and higher and the power in his hands is getting greater and greater, he also knows that it will be difficult for him to make further progress.

Shen Meng will definitely be a great person in the future, and he is willing to help her. When she becomes successful and has a bright future, she will definitely help her for his and Mingyue's sake.

When he came, Li Chuan said that he was not here in his leadership position, but as a representative of Shen Meng's family, so Shen Meng directly arranged the two of them to sit in front of Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui.

When the old couple saw such a high-ranking official sitting next to them, they immediately sat up straight.

"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 failed to utter a word for several times. She coughed twice before mustering the courage to reply, "No, no, 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. Our ancestors are so lucky to have such a good girl." Shen Fugui quickly poked her with his arm.

"What are you talking about? Haha, I don't mean that. I just think Qianqian is a good kid and she is ambitious."

Everyone likes others to praise their children, Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan are no exception. They both had smiles on their faces but kept saying things like, "That's great." As they were chatting, Feng Si came over. He brought his newly married wife with him. In the past two years, the Land Reform Bureau became the Urban Construction Bureau. He had more power and had more social engagements. He gained three times more weight.

He walked into the gate of the state-owned hotel and went straight to Li Chuan and Shen Meng, not even paying 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 while since we last met. Hehe, I heard you were coming today, so I brought some health supplements with me. You two are usually too busy, so you should take care of your health. Otherwise, we, the subordinates and the masses, 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 do it by sucking up to people?

"Ahem, Director Feng, today is the commendation meeting for Comrade Xiao Meng. You must know the priorities clearly!"

Feng Si chuckled and stretched out his hand to take a gift box from his new bride. It was a long and thin box, and it looked like it was a necklace or a watch, but there was no brand on the outer packaging. Feng Si was a smart and scheming person, and he knew that the people coming were all important figures, so he was naturally cautious and careful.

"Yes, yes, this is not my sister-in-law nor 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 for you. You must accept it. Hey, why didn't you look at my captain? Does he have a mission today?"

"Thank you, Director Feng. Your captain will come over later. It seems that the time is almost up."

"I told you, my captain will definitely come on such an important day for you. It doesn't matter if he is busy on other days, but today, even if it rains knives from the sky, he will come."

Shen Meng: “.”

We have known each other for so many years, how can we not know each other? Why are you trying to suck up to me? I am not used to it, it is too greasy!!!

Pu Jiang curled his lips and walked up 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 feel nervous. After all, the economy of the provincial capital depends to a large extent on Ning County.

"Hello, Secretary Li, Hello, Director Feng, hehe, it's a great honor for you to come to our Ning County today. I'll 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.
