Chapter 62: Welcome Reception
After lingering with the little sister Shanshan Tongtong for a few days, he felt refreshed, and Liao Yan also came with good news, he had found a channel to contact the leaders of Wa State and Dai State, and Zhang Sheng immediately rushed back to Guobang.
Two days later, Zhang Sheng received an invitation from the chairman's residence, inviting Zhang Sheng to attend a reception to welcome Zhou Heng, director of the Guobang branch of the Xinhua News Agency, on South Street.
In the evening of the next day, the splendid banquet hall was full of guests, and most of the people present today were celebrities and political and civilian officials in the business circles of Guobang, such as Ma Bowen, mayor of the Nanjie City Hall, directors and directors of some heavyweight institutions of the SAR government, and so on.
Everyone attended the cocktail party with their female companions, and Meng Suocheng brought the fourth lady to show up on this occasion, obviously, the fourth lady could add glory to him in foreign exchanges.
Zhang Sheng was originally going to use Gu Yanni as a female companion, but later considering that Zhou Heng and Zhou Fan were cousins, Gu Yanni and Zhou Heng couldn't help but be embarrassed to meet, and they didn't know what Zhou Heng would think more, so he simply asked Jin Erxi to be his female companion.
Zhang Sheng also noticed that Zhou Heng's female companion was a young and beautiful young woman, who was said to be a reporter for the Guobang branch of the Xinhua News Agency.
Zhang Sheng once asked Gu Yanni about Zhou Heng, although he just asked casually, Gu Yanni said a lot, and her impression of Zhou Heng, Gu Yanni was not very good, saying that she had only met a few times, but this uncle kept looking at her very strangely, and the last time they met was this year's New Year.
Although Gu Yanni was separating from Zhou Fan, she still had to take care of his face under Zhou Fan's pleading, and attended the gathering of the Zhou family with Zhou Fan.
Gu Yanni said that Zhou Heng seized the opportunity of no one to chat with her a lot at this party, asked her what difficulties she had, and hinted that she could talk to him alone.
Speaking of which, Gu Yanni looked disdainful, saying that Zhou Heng was a hypocrite, and he was still coveting his younger siblings and taking advantage of others.
Although Gu Yanni has always had a princess disease and felt that men were infatuated with her, Zhang Sheng also knew that Gu Yanni's intuition was sometimes very accurate, and this matter may not be groundless.
This cocktail party, Zhang Sheng felt that it was also a good opportunity to get to know Zhou Heng.
Under the gathering of guests, Zhang Sheng has also been observing Zhou Heng's every move, there is no doubt that with the backing of the Zhou family, a political family that covers the sky and the sun, if Zhou Heng becomes his enemy, this young deputy department level Yu will be an extremely tricky opponent.
"County Magistrate Zhang, cheb" Holding a wine glass, Ma Bowen walked over with a smile and clinked glasses with Zhang Sheng.
The two wine glasses collided, and the orange-yellow liquid vibrated violently, like sparks bursting between the two. Although both of them were smiling, the distance was closer, and the others still felt the low pressure a little less.
"Who is this female general?" Ma Bowen looked at Jin Erxi with a smile.
Jin Erxi is thin and small, with dark skin, and how ugly and ugly it is to wear a dress skirt, so Zhang Sheng tailored a set of officer's uniform for her.
The Guobang People's Army, the guard battalions, and the independent armed forces, no matter what their ranks, do not have a permanent uniform, either a green military uniform or a camouflage uniform.
Jin Erxi's officer's regular uniform is more like a female military officer in film and television works, with yellow-green uniform trousers and a beret, and Zhang Sheng also deliberately wore a green military uniform to match her.
In this way, the clear and delicate Jin Erxi has become a different scenery at this drinking party where beauties gather.
Jin Erxi was a little disgusted with Ma Bowen's hypocritical tone, but because the county magistrate was around, she couldn't show that she was impolite as a guard, and replied: "I am a nobody, a soldier of the county magistrate." ”
Ma Bowen snorted, "I heard that your current equipment has been replaced with shotguns, and the brother troops are very envious of you." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "I'll go talk to the chairman for a few words." ”
"Please. Ma Bowen made a gesture of please.
Zhang Sheng said to Jin Erxi: "Take whatever you want to eat and drink, don't be polite, don't be hungry, these snacks and drinks are carefully made by our Jinsha International, and they taste good." ”
"Yes. Jin Erxi stood upright.
Zhang Sheng can't correct her, no matter what, she doesn't have the consciousness of a female companion.
Zhang Sheng walked over to Meng Suocheng, who was standing and chatting with Zhou Heng, and it just so happened that Meng Suocheng's eyes also looked over, and he smiled and beckoned to Zhang Sheng, who was approaching: "Come, I heard that you and President Zhou are old friends, let's talk together." ”
Zhang Sheng smiled and nodded to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng participated in today's cocktail party and felt that Zhang Sheng's weight in Guobang was completely different from what he thought, he turned out to be a prince who held military power, saying that he was the county magistrate, but in fact he was the emperor of the soil, and on his one-third of an acre of land, he was more powerful than the mayor and governor in China.
And when it comes to Zhang Sheng, Meng Suocheng, the great dictator of Guobang, also has some scruples.
"County Magistrate Zhang, Century Home is a big seller, congratulations first" Meng Suocheng smiled and raised his glass.
Yesterday, Lingyun Group issued an announcement that the apartment building of Century Home Mansion, the office room and shops of Century Business Building have been sold out.
Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "The sales situation is better than expected, or the investment environment of our Guobang has been recognized." ”
Century Home Apartment is a luxury house in the urban area of South Street, and the people who can live here are either rich or expensive, but in fact, most of the apartments are bought by mainlanders, all of whom are businessmen who often come and go to Guobang to do business, as well as some mainlanders who have lived in Guobang for a long time and are similar immigrants.
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang must have made a lot of money, it seems that Mr. Zhang has a very unique vision." ”
Zhang Sheng shook his head: "The project has been postponed again and again, but I really haven't made much money, besides, it's all the people below who do things, and I don't have any credit." ”
Zhou Heng smiled slightly: "As long as you use the right person, Mr. Zhang doesn't have to bow down to everything." ”
Zhang Sheng is humble.
After a few words of greeting, Zhang Sheng looked at Meng Suocheng: "Chairman, take a step to speak?"
Zhou Heng smiled: "You talk, you talk." He turned around and clinked glasses with the Guobang officials who came to greet him.
"The recent movement of troops by the southern Burmese has been very unusual, Chairman, I suspect that they will make a big move in the near future. After taking two steps away, Zhang Sheng said in a low voice.
"Really?" Meng Suocheng looked at Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng knew that when Meng Suocheng heard the news, he was afraid that his first thought was not to ponder what the southern Burmese people wanted to do, but to suspect his intention in telling him what he said, and once the seeds of distrust are planted, many things will change.
"Peng Yongxin has not disappeared, and he has been active recently, which is a very abnormal phenomenon. Zhang Sheng patiently explained.
Meng Suocheng bowed slightly: "I know." But from the look on his face, it was obvious that he was more suspicious of Zhang Sheng's purpose.
