CHAPTER XXI

Wan Guoqiang saw that I took a few sips of tea, and gasped for breath, so he went back to business and said, "Xiao He, I thought you wouldn't be here today...... In that case, you can come with me to a meeting later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Good!"

I nodded solemnly in response.

Wan Guoqiang withdrew his smile, stood up from the leather chair with a serious face, and walked straight to the door.

And I naturally followed, Zhang Xiaoqin saw Wan Guoqiang go out first, so he smiled apologetically and whispered: "Choosing the day, I was really embarrassed last night, my mother was like that, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

When I thought of last night's scene, I waved my hand a little awkwardly, signaling that Zhang Xiaoqin was out of the way and didn't have to take it to heart.

Our small actions, I think Wan Guoqiang should feel it, after all, it is close, but he also turns a blind eye.

It stands to reason that he saw that I had such a good relationship with Zhang Xiaoqin, and I thought Wan Guoqiang should be happy, so he naturally didn't have any opinions.

The three of us left the office and headed straight for the parking lot, where someone was already waiting for us.

Wan Guoqiang's driver was a middle-aged man with a flat head and a black suit, no different from other drivers.

When the driver saw the mayor coming, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward to greet him, of course, Zhang Xiaoqin and I didn't have this treatment.

When Wan Guoqiang saw this scene, he didn't seem to appreciate it, and got into the car with a swagger, Zhang Xiaoqin sat in the co-pilot, and Wan Guoqiang and I naturally sat in the back.

The driver didn't ask Wan Guoqiang where he was going, but started the car out of the parking lot, as if the driver already knew where we were going.

So I didn't ask any questions, and everyone didn't say anything along the way, until the car drove to a big hotel called 'Jade Emperor Fort' and stopped.

There were several parking management staff standing at the door of the hotel, and when they saw that a guest was coming, they raced forward to open the car door.

It's the first time I've enjoyed the treatment of opening the car door for me, so we got out of the car and went straight to the hotel, which is a big hotel, and the layout and decoration inside can be described as golden and magnificent.

It's like being in an ancient palace, even if I'm nervous in my heart, but my face is expressionless and calm like water, and I'm the first time I've sat in a sedan chair.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoqin again, she seems to be used to it, and she is not surprised, she must often follow Wan Guoqiang in and out of such luxurious places.

When we walked into the conference hall, I was even more surprised, a conference table is at least 15 meters long, and the net width is 1.5 meters.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference hall, they were all waiting for Wan Guoqiang, a sharp-eyed person stood up first, and when he saw the mayor walking slowly, everyone also got up to say hello.

Wan Guoqiang waved his hand absently, motioning for them to sit down and talk, and after Zhang Xiaoqin found his place and sat down, he was still standing stunned.

"Oh my God, just sit next to me."

Wan Guoqiang saw that I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly asked someone to give me the chair and said.

Although the atmosphere was a little embarrassing by me, I nodded with a serious face, then took the chair and sat down slowly.

The crowd didn't seem to notice my arrival, until Wan Guoqiang asked me to sit next to him, and I looked up again to find that the attitude of the people at the conference table towards me was very different from before.

However, I did not appreciate this, but instead I glanced at the crowd with disdain, who did not care about my boredom, and all smiled and nodded at me.

I thought to myself, presumably this is what people often say about the way of officialdom, and then I thought again, maybe these people may be used in the future, and it is better not to be offended.

Zhang Xiaoqin didn't seem to see the expressions of these people, she read it out with the folder, and reported the specific work content to Wan Guoqiang.

I didn't have the heart to listen to what Zhang Xiaoqin said, and I didn't understand what urban reform was, anyway, I was not interested, and as time went by, it was time for lunch.

A burst of applause in the conference hall ended the hours-long discussion, some people were red-faced, and some people were proud.

As the saying goes, it's none of my business and I don't have to worry about it, I hope they can fight, and I can watch a lively and happy life.

Although this idea is not very authentic, I still think that these people are arguing and arguing about it for their own better interests.

After everyone walked out of the conference hall, they came to the dining room, and a large round table was full of wine and food, and I drooled when I saw it.

It can be said that the mountains and seas are full of delicacies, and there are all kinds of people who fly in the sky and swim in the water.

Waiting for everyone to sit down, this luxurious banquet officially began, and those of them who were officials naturally flattered each other and chattered endlessly.

I was not interested in getting close to them, so I ate by myself, and sometimes I touched a wine glass with Wan Guoqiang, laughing and saying a few words.

Zhang Xiaoqin doesn't drink, I poured a drink for her, and we just ate without being arrogant or humble, and others toasted me from time to time.

But I didn't return any of them, because except for Wan Guoqiang, everyone else at the banquet was not qualified enough, and I think they should also understand the qualifications reason, so no one was unhappy because of this.

After eating, I followed Wan Guoqiang back to the city hall and worked blindly all the way until the evening, and when I left, Zhang Xiaoqin also deliberately whispered to me that she invited me to dinner in the evening.

I didn't say yes, I didn't refuse, I walked straight to the gate of the city hall, and when I came to the security room, several people sitting inside lowered their heads.

It seems that I am like a ghost, I asked myself in my heart, am I so terrible, there is no reason, Zhang Xiaoqin, this little girl is not afraid.

I laughed at myself and came to the side of the road, beckoned a car, and went straight to Qingsha Street, I sat in the car and looked out of the glass, through the dim street lights, at the shops on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but think crankily.

Speaking of which, I've been away from Qiushan Village for a while, and I don't know if my parents are okay at home, and Ding San, a stupid boy, doesn't know how to call home and ask.

Just as I was thinking about it, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang, and the taxi driver couldn't help but cast a surprised look when he heard the mobile phone ringing.

I didn't bother to pay attention to the driver's expression, took out my mobile phone and saw that it was Zhang Xiaoqin calling, coughed lightly twice and answered, "Hey, what's the matter?" ”

A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone and replied, "Choose the day, what about you?" Didn't you say that you should wait for me? ”
