Chapter 331, Andrea
After Yan Zixu arrived in Sanyang County, he immediately convened a meeting of the county's Standing Committee members, first to unify everyone's thinking on the issue of the 5 billion yuan investment of the rice countrymen, and then to study the projects in the plan one by one, especially the clauses involving the responsibilities and rights of both parties.
The plan is too thick, and they only studied one-third of the content in the whole afternoon, and the rest of the content will have to be studied tomorrow, so Mayor Yan and his entourage will have to live in Sanyang tonight, and Mayor Yan will have to hold a dinner on behalf of the city to invite these wealthy businessmen.
Maybe Jiang Hang and Zeng Xinhua were too excited when they reported to the city, they both forgot to mention to the leaders that Governor Zhou's son was also with those rice guys, so when Mayor Yan saw Zhou Chang, he was obviously taken aback, Yan Zixu was Governor Zhou's confidant, and he naturally recognized Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang was very polite to Yan Zixu and took the initiative to greet him, but instead of calling him "Uncle Yan" as usual, he called "Mayor Yan" more formally, which should mean to avoid suspicion.
And Yan Zixu also knew very well the importance of avoiding suspicion on such occasions and in such major events, so he quickly recovered his nature and called Zhou Chang President Zhou, because Zhou Chang was a businessman and had his own company.
After the meeting ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down, and there were more than a dozen people on both sides together, so two tables were set up, Lu Chen's ranking on the county standing committee was relatively low, so he took the initiative to sit at the second table, Jiang Hang wanted to call him over, but Lu Chen refused.
But who would have thought that Andrea, who is the most respected in the Mi Guoyan, actually came to sit at the second table in order to hide her identity, and chose the seat of Lu Chen's right hand, not only Lu Chen was stunned, but even the people on her side were the same.
Especially Zhou Chang, because he has always had a crush on Andrea, but because her status is too noble in the United States, as the eldest son of a province in China, he can only hide his love in the bottom of his heart and dare not express it.
But after a while, Zhou Chang had no time to take care of it, because the leaders of the county and Mayor Yan's entourage toasted him one after another, as if he was the protagonist tonight.
In these officials' opinion, although those rich businessmen in the United States are distinguished guests, they are only rich at most, and they cannot be compared with the identity of Zhou Chang as the son of the governor, after all, they are still officials in China, they are born in China, and they are ghosts in China when they die.
Today is a rare opportunity to make friends with Zhou Gongzi, of course the officials will not miss it, and they will try their best to respect him for various reasons, so Zhou Chang quickly got drunk, his eyes were blurred, and one person became three, how could he see the situation at the second table clearly, maybe he should go and sleep better.
In addition to Lu Chen and Andrea, there were also two members of the Standing Committee of Sanyang County, three members of Mayor Yan's entourage, and James and Carter.
Lu Chen was very low-key tonight, only at the beginning of the dinner, he took the initiative to toast Andrea and the comrades in the city because of the courtesy, and he didn't take the initiative for a long time, fortunately, two colleagues and comrades in the city greeted the three distinguished guests of the United States, but it didn't make him feel that the Chinese people were not kind enough.
Just when Lu Chen looked at James and Carter, who were drunk by frequent persuasions, Andrea suddenly turned her head to look at him and asked, "Mr. Lu, I heard that your alcohol consumption is very good, why didn't you drink anything tonight, do you think it's boring to drink with us?" ”
"Miss Andrea, how could I possibly have such an idea, judging by what you said?" Lu Chen said.
"Then why don't you toast us like everyone else?" Andrea asked.
Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?" ”
"I'm a lady, and I'm just saying that you drink with me, so no matter how much you respect me, I can't drink much, how can I get drunk?" Andrea laughed.
"Miss Andrea is so blunt." Lu Chen praised, and then asked: "I have a question, I don't know how you know that my alcohol is great, could it be that you have investigated me?" ”
Andrea was stunned, and then said: "Mr. Lu is also very straightforward, but we haven't investigated you, with your name in Sanyang County, do you still need us to investigate?" ”
"Really?" Lu Chen asked again.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you trust people?" Andrea pouted and said with an unhappy expression.
Lu Chen raised his glass with a smile and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, come, Miss Andrea, since you have an opinion on my drinking, then I will correct it immediately, and I will respect you now." ”
"Mr. Lu, let's talk about it first, I'm just saying it." Andrea said.
"No, no, you need to have a drink." Lu Chen shook his head and said, and when she was about to speak, he added, "I drank three cups in a row." ”
Andrea was stunned for a moment and then smiled, and then said: "Mr. Lu, why don't you finish your words in one breath, but it makes people misunderstand, since you drink three glasses in a row, then I'll drink one cup." With that, he raised his glass.
Lu Chen said thank you and clinked glasses with him, then brought it to his lips and drank it, then poured himself wine and drank two glasses in a row, and then looked at Andrea, who nodded and said, "Mr. Lu really lives up to his name" and drank the glass of wine.
After pouring wine for Andrea and himself, Lu Chen said to the two colleagues: "Two brothers, you also heard Miss Andrea's words just now, she didn't drink much tonight, if you don't let her drink a few more glasses, it will seem that we Sanyo are not polite." ”
The two colleagues immediately said to Andrea that they wanted to toast her like Lu County, and Andrea stared at Lu Chen with wide eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing here, are you going to instigate everyone to get me drunk?" ”
Lu Chen shook his head and said: "Miss Andrea, you are wrong again, I don't mean that, besides, we are three glasses to toast you, and if you want to get drunk, we will get drunk first." ”
Andrea bit her lip and said, "That being said, there are many of you on your side. ”
"How can there be so many people, including me, aren't there only three?" Lu Chen spread his hands and said.
"Who said three, aren't there three leaders in the city, adding up to six, that is to say, each of you only drinks three cups, but I have to drink six cups, twice as many as you, Mr. Lu, is your hand a silent and unguardable conspiracy?" Speaking of the back, Andrea's voice gradually became louder, attracting the attention of everyone at the main table, and they all looked towards the second table.
