The location of the lunch was set at the provincial party committee, and this location was also approved by Yan Lisheng. Originally, according to Yan Lisheng's meaning, the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info was to go to a farmer's house near the Fenglin Wetland Nature Reserve to eat authentic farmhouse rice, and then Tian Gangqiang argued with reason, explaining to Yan Lisheng that going to the farmhouse to eat seems to be saving, but it has to pay a lot of additional security costs, and it is not known how many times more expensive than going to the big hotel in the provincial capital to eat, it is better to eat at the provincial party committee's small tricks, and when the time comes, look for a cooking expert among the farmers near the Fenglin Wetland Nature Reserve, and invite him to the provincial party committee to make a few authentic farm dishes, but save costs.

Yan Lisheng finally agreed to the arrangement of eating at Xiaozhao of the Provincial Party Committee, but rejected Tian Gangqiang's proposal later, saying that the farmer's rice should be eaten at the village's house, and in a place like Xiaozhao of the Provincial Party Committee, even if the farmer's meal is cooked well, it will lose its original taste.

When the convoy arrived at the provincial party committee, the governor Guan Bigong and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Guo Aigang had already led a large group of people to wait here. These veteran cadres had crossed paths with Yan Lisheng in their work when they were in office, and even though Yan Lisheng was not interested in having dinner with the members of these leading groups in the northern province, he couldn't bear to refuse these veteran cadres who had already retired.

But even so, after Yan Lisheng got out of the car, he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the large group of black and oppressive people in front of him. Director Wang sensed Yan Lisheng's emotions, and immediately covered Tian Gangqiang's ear with his hand and whispered a few words.

Tian Gangqiang smiled helplessly, turned his head and said to Director Wang in a voice with the same strength: "Director Wang, I can't say this right! These comrades have been waiting for most of the day, and I will let them go now, and they still don't know how to arrange me in their hearts! This is not conducive to the unity of the leadership group~! You have to say this, just as my brother, I owe you a favor, how about it?"

That's what Director Wang wants. The favor owed by a feudal official will play a big role at a critical time! He nodded and said, "Well, you said that this is indeed a bit too much, so let me say it!"

At this time, Guan Bigong and Guo Aigang had already greeted them. Tian Gangqiang stood next to him and stretched out his hand to introduce the members of the team to Yan Lisheng one by one, Yan Lisheng waved his hand, beckoned to a few old cadres standing behind, and said, "Since you old guys are here, why are you pretending to be shy? What are you hiding so far away?"

Several old cadres looked at each other, but they didn't expect Yan Lisheng to put aside the current second and third leaders of the Northern Province, and first greeted a few of them old guys who were out of breath, and they couldn't help but feel excited for a while, and stood there with moist eyes, not knowing to go to Yan Lisheng's side. In the end, it was the old governor Liu Weiguo who was the first to react, beckoning a few old guys to run towards Yan Lisheng with small steps that staggered.

"Elder Yan, I really didn't expect you to remember a few of us!" Liu Weiguo held Yan Lisheng's hand and shook it constantly, as if he had something full of words to say to Yan Lisheng.

"Brother Liu, how dare I forget you?" Yan Lisheng said with a smile: "In the seventh or ninth year, when you led these people to the capital to ask me for food, you slapped the table and glared, good guy, you almost lifted my office. If I pretend I don't remember you now, who knows if you'll tear my table up when dinner comes!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Liu Weiguo laughed embarrassedly. He was half a year older than Yan Lisheng, and he was the governor of the Northern Province in '79, when there was a severe drought in the Northern Province, and the grain output of the Northern Province, which was known as one of the important granaries of the Chinese State, was greatly reduced, and even the supply of commercial grain in the province could not be guaranteed. Liu Weiguo's mouth was foaming anxiously, and when he went to the capital to find Yan Lisheng, who was then a member of the Government Council, to ask for food, he said something excessive. But he didn't want Yan Lisheng not only not to worry about him, but instead added a million catties of grain to his grain plan. Afterwards, he learned that the million catties of grain that Yan Lisheng gave him in many batches were saved from the rations of the people in Yan Lao's hometown, and for this matter, Yan Lao was scolded by his hometown for a period of time, so that seven or eight years have passed since this incident, and Yan Lisheng has not dared to go home to visit his relatives once.

Several old cadres behind Liu Weiguo also laughed, in the end, it was the old chief of the year, and one sentence shortened the distance between them. The reason why Liu Weiguo dared to go to Yan Lisheng's office to slap the table at the beginning, a few of them old guys also had to bear a lot of responsibility, without the instigation of their old guys, with Liu Weiguo's courage, they really didn't dare to slap the table at Yan Lisheng!

After meeting a few old cadres, Yan Lisheng stretched out his hand to Guan Bigong and said with a smile: "Comrade Bigong, once this person is old, he likes to miss the old, so I will say hello to these old guys first, I hope you young people don't mind!"

Bao Feiyang stood behind Yan Lisheng and couldn't help laughing in his heart when he heard this. I didn't expect that the two-sided-eyed Governor Guan Bigong would also be called a young man one day!

Guan Bigong glared at Bao Feiyang fiercely, and said to Yan Lisheng respectfully: "Old Yan, don't be too polite, nostalgia is originally the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation." I didn't put a few old leaders in the front, it was my dereliction of duty, and I want to review it for you!"

Guo Aigang, who was on the side, also hurriedly followed and said, "Elder Yan, I will also review you!"

Several deputy secretaries behind Guan Bigong and Guo Aigang also wanted to follow suit and do a review, but they were swept away by Tian Gangqiang, who was standing next to Yan Lisheng, and then they realized that they were not even qualified to make a review, so they quickly closed their mouths!

"Hehe, what kind of review, it's too serious!" Yan Lisheng stretched out his hand to Guo Aigang again, and said with a smile: "My visit to the Northern Province this time is a private trip, so it's normal to take a few old guys in front." If I were on a business trip, then several of you provincial party committee leaders would be at the front!"

Guo Aigang shook hands with Yan Lisheng, a founding father like Yan Lisheng, for the first time, he was nervous and excited, and he couldn't say the words he was ready, he only knew that he was smirking, but he didn't expect that this would achieve better results, Yan Lisheng turned his head and said to Tian Gangqiang with a smile: "Comrade Gangqiang, you are too serious, right? Look, Comrade Aigang is so scared that he can't speak!"

After shaking hands with Guo Aigang, seeing that the comrades behind him were about to move forward, Yan Lisheng waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, comrades, my old arms and legs have been running around all morning, and my energy is a little low, and more importantly, the Five Organs Temple is a little unbearable, I want to go first to pay tribute, thank you comrades for working so hard to come and visit me!"

Hearing Yan Lisheng say this, the deputy secretaries behind Guo Aigang couldn't help but feel a resentment in their hearts, just a little, almost able to shake hands with Yan Lao!

Compared with these deputy secretaries, the members who came to the team later did not have too many regrets in their hearts. Even a few deputy secretaries didn't shake hands, what imbalance was there in their hearts?

Tian Gangqiang led Liu Weiguo and several old cadres to accompany Yan Lisheng to the restaurant, but Director Wang stood here and stopped the crowd of black oppression, and said with a reserved smile on his face: "Leaders of the Northern Province, Elder Yan has consumed too much energy this morning, and it should not be too noisy at lunchtime, so the original lunch arrangement should be temporarily adjusted. If Elder Yan's itinerary in the past few days allows, I will inform everyone to have a meal together!"
