Seeing that Lu Chen was the first to ask himself to drink, although Mu Changkun smiled bitterly and said that he had to respect the host Commander Ling first, he also picked up the wine glass and touched Lu Chen's cup, and then did it at the same time as him, and then said dissatisfied to Ling Zhanpeng, who was looking at him with a smile: "Old Ling, don't be idle as the host." ”

"I'm provincial." Then, Ling Zhanpeng said to Zhuang Pingyang: "Lao Zhuang, Secretary Mu has spoken, let's go one." ”

"Just as I want." Zhuang Pingyang raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Wait, Lao Zhuang, what do you mean by this, it seems that you want to help Lao Mu, right?" Ling Zhanpeng waved his hand and asked.

"Commander Ling, you've misunderstood me." Zhuang Pingyang hurriedly said.

"And what do you mean?" Ling Zhanpeng asked relentlessly.

Zhuang Pingyang said: "Commander Ling, I mean it's rare to have a chance to come to you for a drink, and I have to pay tribute to you first to express my gratitude." ”

Seeing Ling Zhanpeng's face of disbelief and what he wanted to say, Mu Changkun on the other side touched him and said, "Old Ling, what Comrade Pingyang said makes sense, it's my turn to honor you in the next cup." ”

Ling Zhanpeng shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, you two must have discussed in advance to work together to deal with me tonight." ”

Mu Changkun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Ling, you are too worried." ”

Zhuang Pingyang smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Ling, then how can you trust me?" ”

Ling Zhanpeng glanced around at the two of them and said, "Unless you two have a drink first." ”

"Commander Ling, Secretary Mu just had a drink with Lu County." Zhuang Pingyang said.

"Lao Ling, you don't have to cheat like this, do you." Then, Mu Changkun turned his head to Lu Chen and said, "Lu County, it's better for you to give a review." ”

Lu Chen said to Ling Zhanpeng: "Uncle Cousin, you are indeed suspected of cheating. ”

"It's still fair in Lu County." Mu Changkun praised, although he was a little surprised at Lu Chen for calling Ling Zhanpeng "cousin" at first, Mu Changkun still reacted quickly, so he didn't show surprise.

Zhuang Pingyang and Duan Yuxuan showed surprise on their faces, the former was surprised because when Ling Zhanpeng called him a few days ago, he said that Lu Chen was the son of his friend, why did he suddenly become a cousin and nephew today, and Duan Yuxuan was surprised because he didn't expect Lu Chen to have this relationship with Commander Ling at all.

Lu Chen and Ling Zhanpeng didn't explain either, and they didn't see it, and then they heard Ling Zhanpeng say to Zhuang Pingyang: "Okay, Lao Zhuang, let's go first." ”

Zhuang Pingyang raised his glass again and said, "Commander Ling, I respect you." ”

At the same time, Duan Yuxuan, who was sitting under Lu Chen's hand, also raised his glass and said to Lu County, the time for Ling Zhanpeng and the others to talk just now had also passed, Duan Yuxuan's toast at this time was not eager, Lu Chen picked up the cup and touched it and said thank you, Duan Yuxuan hurriedly said that Lu County is not polite, the two looked at each other and smiled, and did it.

In the following ten minutes, Lu Chen, Ling Zhanpeng, Mu Changkun, Zhuang Pingyang, and Duan Yuxuan toasted and saluted alternately, and Director Pei and others at the same table toasted each other while waiting for the leaders to drink.

In this way, everyone at the same table drank at least seven or eight glasses, fortunately, everyone chose to drink red wine tonight, and each glass is shallow, if it is white wine, most people will have to drink it down.

The wine between the leaders has been drunk temporarily, Director Pei and other subordinates can start toasting next, Mayor Xu and Secretary Shi are also among the toasters in this batch, and the officials at the other tables can only wait for the next batch, of course, they can't be idle, because there are comrades from the military region at each table, and Commander Ling spoke in advance, asking them to greet the guests.

When Director Pei, the officials of Jizhou Province, toasted Mu Changkun and other provincial leaders, Lu Chen also fulfilled his promise to them in the afternoon, and said a lot of good things about them from the side, Mu Changkun Bai Luchen wanted to help them, and nodded with a smile in response to Director Pei and them, making them very excited, and drank three cups in a row to toast each leader.

And when Mayor Xu and Secretary Shi toasted, Lu Chen suddenly sent them an invitation to why not take this opportunity to follow him back to Guangdong to Sanyo as a guest.

Mayor Xu and Secretary Shi were stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what Lu Chen meant, and then Mayor Xu said: "Lu County, this is a bit difficult, we have a time limit for traveling this time, and we have to rush home the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Mu Changkun came to become a refinement, how could he not know that Lu Chen also meant to help Xu and Shi, and before he could speak, Mu Changkun said to Mayor Xu and Secretary Shi: "Both, since Lu County has invited you, go to Sanyang, and I will call your provincial leaders to ask for leave if you postpone your home." Xu and Shi were overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to say thank you to Secretary Mu and salute him together, and Mu Changkun accepted.

After Director Pei's group of people toasted, the comrades at other tables began to come over one after another, Cheng Qijiang, Zhou Chang, Wu Xiaode and Guo Bao respectively brought their girlfriends or fiancées to be among them, and Xiaowan also followed.

After learning that Cheng Qijiang and the four of them were Lu Chen's friends and were all big bosses, Mu Changkun immediately sent them an invitation to invest in Jizhou Province, and Zhuang Pingyang also said in a timely manner that Xidu would give them the greatest preferential treatment and support for their investment projects as much as possible.

Cheng Qijiang smiled bitterly: "Secretary Mu, Secretary Zhuang, we also want to, it's just that we basically don't have money now." ”

Mu Changkun and Zhuang Pingyang looked at each other, and Zhou Chang immediately explained: "Secretary Mu, Secretary Zhuang, it's like this, our money is invested in Sanyang and Huashan County. Then the details will be explained.

Mu Changkun let out an "oh", and suddenly had an idea, pointed at Lu Chen, and said to Cheng Qijiang and the others: "Your boss has money, borrow it from him." ”

Cheng Qijiang's eyes lit up, they looked at Lu Chen together and said at the same time: "Boss, borrow money." ”

Lu Chen smiled bitterly: "You haven't even determined what to invest, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Zhou Chang immediately said: "Boss, don't we have to implement the funding problem first?" ”

Cheng Qijiang then added: "Boss, only when the funds are implemented can we have confidence." ”

"Boss, Brother Chang and Brother Jiang are right, I think so too." Wu Xiaode echoed.

"I second." Guo Bao raised his hand.

"Yes, but you can't get interest." Lu Chen said.

"No problem." Cheng Qijiang and the four of them said in unison.

Lu Chen groaned: "In this case, you will continue to stay in Xiduluo tomorrow." Cheng Qijiang and the four of them looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, Xiaoqing suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, what about Xiaowan?" At the same time, he pushed Xiao Wan forward.
