Knowing that Zhong Huiming had called Pan Zengsheng, the box immediately fell into silence, Pan Zengsheng picked up the eldest brother and greeted politely: "Zhong Ji! Good evening! You call me at this time, do you have any instructions?"

"Xiao Pan! I heard that Comrade Li Xiangdong from the provincial department is on a business trip to our Jiangcheng today? I wonder if there is such a thing?" As soon as Pan Zengsheng's words fell, Zhong Huiming's cordial inquiry voice immediately came from the phone.

When Pan Zengsheng heard Zhong Huiming's inquiry, he immediately laughed and replied with a smile: "Zhong Ji! I saw the caller ID just now, and I was still telling Professor Chen and Li Hall that you called me at this time, you must have come to us for the matter of Li Hall's arrival, but I didn't expect that I guessed correctly." ”

Zhong Huiming went to the countryside early this morning to investigate, and did not return to Jiangcheng until more than six o'clock in the evening, but when he was about to go to the canteen to eat, he heard the news that Li Xiangdong was on a business trip to Jiangcheng, so he called Pan Zengsheng and confirmed the news to Pan Zengsheng.

When Zhong Huiming heard Pan Zengsheng's answer, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "Xiao Pan, what are you talking about? Professor Chen is also with you, why is Professor Chen with you? You are in that hotel, I will come over immediately." ”

"Zhong Ji! This evening, our city bureau hosted a banquet for the working group of the provincial department at the Convention and Exhibition Hotel, and we happened to meet Professor Chen and his colleagues, we were in the Lamei Hall, Professor Chen was in the Peony Hall, and Li Hall and I had just arrived at Professor Chen's box to toast!" Pan Zengsheng heard Zhong Huiming's inquiry and immediately told Zhong Huiming where they were.

Zhong Huiming heard Pan Zengsheng's report, and replied with a smile: "Xiao Pan, I just came back from a business trip, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I just happened to come over for dinner, and you asked Professor Chen to help me add some dishes and chopsticks." ”

After Pan Zengsheng and Zhong Huiming ended the call, he said to Chen Tianlin with a smile: "Professor Chen! Zhong Ji has just returned from the countryside and has not eaten dinner yet, he heard that we are eating here, so let you add him a bowl and chopsticks." ”

Hearing the news that Zhong Huiming was coming over for dinner, Qiao Ziping felt extremely excited, and hurriedly put down the empty wine glass in his hand and said, "Professor Chen, you sit down, I'll call the waiter, and by the way, I'll go and add a few dishes." ”

About ten minutes later, Zhong Huiming, accompanied by his secretary, walked into the box from the outside, and when he saw Li Xidong walking towards him, he enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Xidong, and complained with a smile: "Li Hall! We are comrades-in-arms on the same front, you came to our Jiangcheng without giving me a call in advance, if it wasn't for Wu Ji calling me to inform me, I am afraid that I would still be kept in the dark by you." ”

When Li Xidong learned that Zhong Huiming had learned the news of his coming to Jiangcheng from Wu Jiefang, he immediately realized that Zhong Huiming already knew the purpose of his coming to Jiangcheng, but considering that this was a public place, and he came with a secret mission this time, he pretended to be confused and said: "Zhong Ji! What you said simply makes me feel embarrassed, Jiangcheng is your base camp, and we still need the strong support of your Jiangcheng government for this mission, how can I not report it to you?"

"I just arrived in Jiangcheng this evening, originally I planned to go to Jiangcheng Ya to find you as soon as possible, and then I heard Xiao Pan say that you went to the countryside to investigate, in order not to affect your work, I gave up calling you, and decided to go to your office tomorrow morning to find you, but I didn't expect Wu Ji to call you in advance!"

After Chen Tianlin saw Zhong Huiming and Li Xidong say hello, he introduced Zhong Huiming with a smile: "Zhong Ji! Let me introduce you, this is me and Zhao Ruxian, this is his lover Lin Yuru, and this is Qiao Ziping, the vice president of SDIC, I believe you should know." ”

Zhao Ruxian saw Chen Tianlin introduce himself to Zhong Huiming, his mood suddenly became extremely excited, and he hurriedly walked in front of Zhong Huiming, stretched out his hands excitedly, shook hands with Zhong Huiming, and greeted respectfully: "Zhong Ji! Hello! It's an honor to meet you!"

Zhong Huiming shook hands with Zhao Ruxian and said cordially: "Comrade Xiao Zhao! Comrade Xiao Lin! Professor Chen has told me about your husband and wife, and I hope that Xiao Lin will make persistent efforts in your new post and make greater contributions to the economic construction of our Jiangcheng City!"

When Zhong Huiming said this, he turned his attention to Qiao Ziping, and greeted Qiao Ziping with a smile: "Xiao Qiao!

"Hello Zhong Ji! I originally asked a few classmates to come here for dinner in the evening, but I didn't expect them to return to the provincial capital for a while, and I met Professor Chen Xiaolin and them at the door of the hotel, and they pulled them here for dinner. Zhong Huiming took the initiative to greet Qiao Ziping, which made Qiao Ziping feel flattered immediately, and hurriedly told Zhong Huiming the reason why he appeared here.

After Chen Tianlin saw Zhong Huiming and Zhao Ruxian and his wife greeting each other, he hurriedly greeted everyone: "Zhong Ji! Li Hall! Everyone should stop standing, please come to the table!"

After everyone sat down, Chen Tianlin said to Zhong Huiming in a joking tone: "Zhong Ji, you don't know, I still have your light on this meal tonight, otherwise with our old Zhao's door-picking character, I won't be able to eat such a good meal tonight." ”

Chen Tianlin's joke made Zhao Ruxian, who was sitting on the side, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and complained embarrassedly: "Director Chen! Don't wronged me! If you want me to invite me to dinner, squeak casually, and my old Zhao will definitely not even frown." ”

Zhao Ruxian's answer made everyone laugh, and Pan Zengsheng couldn't help but say to Zhao Ruxian: "Xiao Zhao! Professor Chen can let you invite him to dinner, which is to treat you as his own person, and if it is us, sometimes we want to invite Professor Chen, but we may not be invited." ”

Zhao Ruxian invited Chen Tianlin to dinner tonight, the purpose was to thank Chen Tianlin, but he didn't expect to meet so many big people, especially what Pan Zengsheng said, which made Zhao Ruxian feel very bright on his face.

The dinner was spent in a restrained and pleasant atmosphere, and it was not until about eight o'clock in the evening that it was officially over, and after the dinner, Chen Tianlin refused the suggestion sent by Zhong Huiming to send him, and took a rickshaw in the direction of his home.

After watching Chen Tianlin and the others leave, Li Xidong thought of the purpose of his visit to Jiangcheng this time, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared without a trace, and he opened his mouth to ask Zhong Huiming, who was standing aside, "Zhong Ji! Since Wu Ji called you and told you the news of our arrival in Jiangcheng, I believe you should know the reason why we came to Jiangcheng, right?"

As for the purpose of Li Xidong's coming to Jiangcheng, Zhong Huiming not only knew, but he also asked to know that it was Wu Jiefang who arranged for Li Xidong and them to come to Jiangcheng, and when he heard Li Xidong's inquiry, he subconsciously nodded and replied: "Li Hall! Regarding the purpose of your visit to Jiangcheng, I have already heard Wu Ji say that you will come to my office tomorrow morning, and I will personally call Professor Chen to implement this matter at that time." ”

When Li Xidong heard Zhong Huiming mention Chen Tianlin, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked in confusion: "Zhong Ji! We want to borrow the barracks of the Jiangcheng garrison to investigate the case, what does this have to do with Professor Chen?"
