Chapter 189: No Good Banquet One
Early the next morning, on the way back to Changfeng, Meng Jinxing received a call from Chen Yunlai, asking him if he had any arrangements for the evening, and the couple wanted to invite him to dinner at home.
After dating Chen Yunlai during this time, Meng Jinxing has regarded him as a brother from the bottom of his heart, and the newlyweds want to invite him to dinner, of course he agreed without thinking about it, and joked: "Hehe, the first time I went to your new home for dinner, I have to bring you some gifts, wine and cigarettes are not rare, what do you want?" β
"Brother, say this!" Chen Yunlai immediately said, "Just bring your mouth and stomach." β
Meng Jinxing hung up the phone with a smile and asked Hu Sihai: "Bring the couple to dinner at night, what should you give them?" β
Hu Sihai said with a smile: "Send that medicinal wine, newlyweds, you can use it!" β
When Meng Jinxing heard this, he thought of Liu Sihan, who died early, and his heart was gloomy, "Do you know where Liu Sihan was buried later?" β
"It's in the Sadu River." Hu Sihai said, "His family said that she had already had a will, saying that her body was not clean, and the ashes were scattered in Dujiang, which could be regarded as a wash." β
Meng Jinxing sighed and didn't speak again.
It was rΓ¬ daytime, Shi Yunhai came to Meng Jinxing's office, and he was hesitant for a long time before he asked crampedly: "I didn't trouble you, did I?" β
Meng Jinxing threw a cigarette to him, "I've done everything, are you still worried about this?" β
Shi Yunhai immediately laughed, "I'm afraid you think I'm troublesome." β
Meng Jinxing shook his head, "It's all like this, I hope it won't be too bad." β
Shi Yunhai was stunned, "You didn't even think about turning this matter out?" β
Meng Jinxing smiled, "You are really getting more and more naΓ―ve!" Only Jiang Songlin can move by this, right? β
"Ah! If you arrest Jiang Songlin, won't you pull out the others? β
"Then if he is a hard bone and has a bit of revolutionary friendship, who can he pull out?"
Shi Yunhai was dumbfounded.
Meng Jinxing waved his hand and said: "Okay, this kind of thing is handled by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervision Bureau, and we still have to do our own work." You cooperate with Haifeng, strictly regulate the signing of all contracts in the district, and give legal training to all departments in this regard! β
Shi Yunhai nodded and stood up to leave, but Meng Jinxing called out to him: "That, your old man didn't embarrass your old lady of Marxism-Leninism, right?" β
Shi Yunhai smiled and said quite relaxedly: "The old man is actually like a mirror in his heart, the old man doesn't say it, he just pretends to be confused." We've been hiding it for so long, and I somehow let Jiang Songlin make a short! β
Meng Jinxing also laughed when he heard it, it seems that Shi Ruinian is not rigid, but he didn't find the right way to educate his wife and children.
After getting off work, Meng Jinxing went back to the dormitory to rummage through the cabinets and find a bronze horse.
This is when he first came to Changfeng, Meng Jinyan stuffed it in his luggage, and asked him to give it away when he needed it, he has never been willing to take it out, and now it is really suitable to give it to Chen Yunlai.
Preparing the gift, he suddenly became worried.
Because it was a private party at night, he asked Hu Sihai to get off work early in the morning without having to follow him, but at this time, the last train from Sheshan to Changfeng had already passed, and he really had no way to think about going to Changfeng.
was hesitating whether to call Chen Yunlai, but Chen Yunlai had already called first and told him that he had sent a car to pick him up and had arrived at the door.
"Heh, you are now Zhuge reincarnated, can you guess that I don't have a car?" Meng Jinxing walked to the gate with a smile, and saw at a glance that it was Lao Chai who was driving.
"I don't know you yet? It's not official business today, and the quasi-guarantee asked Brother Hu to go home to accompany his wife! β
Meng Jinxing hung up the phone with a smile, said hello to Lao Chai and got into the car.
"Long time no see, Lao Chai!"
"Hehe, Director Meng is busy, I'm too embarrassed to disturb you." Lao Chai drove with a smile and drove all the way.
"It's a good job to follow the transport, right?"
"Very good, Boss Chen doesn't have to say anything about me!" Lao Chai said, "However, if he gets married, he won't be able to get it, and the proprietress is very difficult to get." β
Meng Jinxing laughed, "Qinfang people are okay!" β
"Where!" Lao Chai glanced sideways at Meng Jinxing, "I said, don't say what I told you!" β
"Say it." Although Meng Jinxing doesn't like gossip, Chen Yunlai's marriage has something to do with him, although he is not very optimistic, he still hopes that the couple can live a down-to-earth life.
"Let's take inviting you to dinner today, Boss Chen said that he wanted to put the restaurant to invite, and the proprietress had to make it at home."
Meng Jinxing immediately smiled and said: "This is a good thing, it proves that Qin Fang will run the family." β
"That's not the point, the point is that she also invited her old man and uncle."
Meng Jinxing was shocked.
Lao Chai was still saying: "When I said to invite you in the morning, she didn't say that she would invite her family, the boss originally wanted you to come another day, but she refused, because of this, the two of them quarreled." β
Meng Jinxing realized that tonight was going to the Hongmen banquet.
No wonder Chen Yunlai specially sent a car to pick it up, in fact, he wanted to break the water tank to seep out the water, so that Lao Chai could remind himself in advance.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's an honor to be able to eat at the same table with our Secretary Jiang." He digressed the subject, "How are you in your family?" Did my mother receive Changfeng? β
"Do you still remember my mother? She is in good health now, and she often plays waist drums with a group of old ladies on the county front street. β
"Really? Not bad. β
The two gossiped all the way.
When Meng Jinxing arrived, Jiang Wancai and Jiang Decai brothers were already seated, Jiang Qinfang welcomed him into the door, and said with a smile all the way: "Leader, you drank so little last time in Yandang, and today you don't drive anyway, so you have to let go of drinking." β
"Hehe, you want to be happy when you drink, you don't have to drink much." Meng Jinxing walked into the living room with her, and just saw Chen Yunlai coming out of the kitchen with an apron, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Do you know how to cook?" β
"Hehe, I worked as a small worker in a restaurant when I first debuted." Chen Yunlai said with a smile, "Although you can't make a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, you can still cook a few home-cooked dishes." β
Meng Jinxing handed him the bronze horse, "Little gift, I hope you can succeed in any business in the future!" β
Chen Yunlai quickly wiped his hands and took the gift, opened the box, took out the bronze horse and said with a smile: "Wow, I like this gift, thank you!" He said and took the bronze horse over to the two Jiang Wancai brothers, "Dad, uncle, you can take a look." β
Jiang Wancai took it and handed it to Jiang Decai, Meng Jinxing greeted the two of them, handed over a cigarette to help light it, and smoked one himself, Chen Yunlai asked casually: "Hey, isn't it quitting?" β
Meng Jinxing sneered: "Perseverance is not enough. β
"Hehe, just sit down, I still have a few dishes, and I will be able to eat them immediately." Chen Yun said and went to the kitchen, Jiang Qinfang made tea and also went to the kitchen to help.
Seeing Meng Jinxing sit down, Jiang Wancai said with a smile: "The No. 2 auction price is sky-high, and the construction funds of the demonstration area will not be worried, it seems that there is no need to ask for support from the county." β
"The money hasn't been seen yet, I'm so anxious that I can't sleep." Meng Jinxing said.
"Hahaha, Xiao Meng, are you crying poor?" Jiang Decai continued, "I still believe that others are worried about money, but you are worried about money, heh, I don't believe it!" β
"I'm telling the truth. The land money for No. 2 has not come in, but the overall supporting construction of the demonstration area has been rolled out, and all the management work and so many people need money to eat, drink and lasa, even if the money in No. 2 land is returned to the demonstration area, it is not enough to spend! Meng Jinxing said.
Jiang Wancai said casually: "The expenses are owed first!" Aren't all units at all levels coming over like this? Director Meng, you are too real! Those builders, as long as they are zhΓ¨ngfΗ work, which one is not rushing to catch up? As long as you don't put them too tightly when you approve, even if you ask them to advance money, they will come upside down. β
He patted his head and said, "Oh, don't ask, it turns out that the bridges, roads, and houses in Guanshan were not all built by him for free!" Why? You are not related to him, and he is willing to help you like this as soon as you know him, and he doesn't expect to take more work from you? β
The father-in-law said this about his son-in-law, which can be regarded as giving Meng Jin an insight.
But he can't deny that at the beginning of his acquaintance with Chen Yunlai, Chen Yunlai really had such thoughts.
He smiled noncommittally.
Jiang Wancai continued: "I am a businessman myself, and I know the feelings of businessmen best!" If we take out a penny, we have to have a penny in return, so whether to take it or not, how to take it appropriately, must be calculated and calculated. β
Meng Jinxing smiled and said, "Thank you Boss Jiang for teaching me a vivid lesson today." β
Jiang Wancai raised his hand and said, "So, this Renhe's money, do you think he dares not to pay it?" No! But a day late is a day's bank interest, a day's operating income, and if they don't get stuck at the optimal point, they certainly won't take out the money. β
Jiang Decai immediately smiled: "Do you think everyone looks like you?" Maybe Zhong Juan won't be able to raise money for a while? β
Meng Jinxing understood, the two brothers had only one meaning in their words, Renhe's money was just owed first, just like when some zhΓ¨ngfΗ institutions owed builders, sooner or later it would be repaid, but it was just a matter of time, and he didn't need to be so urgent at the moment.
It seems that the essence of today's meal is that the Jiang brothers are lobbyists for Zhongjuan.
He couldn't help but be a little funny, was this a trick that Zhong Juan came up with herself, or was it a trick that Jiang Songlin came up with?
He estimated that it was mostly Zhongjuan herself.
He and the Jiang family brothers are at odds with each other, and there are few people in Changfeng officialdom who don't know now, Jiang Songlin shouldn't be so stupid, let them persuade themselves.
Chen Yunlai and his wife had already set the table at this time, Jiang Qinfang came over to invite them to the table, and the three of them puffed out their cigarettes and went over to each other politely before they took their seats.
Chen Yunlai poured wine for everyone, and it was indispensable to say a few words of thanks, and the five of them clinked glasses and drank the first glass.
As soon as he put down the cup, the doorbell rang crisply, Jiang Qinfang hurriedly got up, "You eat, I'll open the door." β
After a while, Jiang Qinfang came back, followed by Zhong Juan, followed by Zhong Wei, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag.
Meng Jinxing couldn't help frowning, his eyes swept over Chen Yunlai, and the other party's eyes were full of innocence.
