The dinner in the evening was a bit surprising.

It's not a big hotel, it's not a clubhouse, it's a private villa built by Huang.

This villa is very large, with a fountain in the courtyard and properly trimmed flowers and plants, and it does not look like the home of an upstart.

When Meng Yuan arrived, a long table had already been set up in the courtyard, and the food had already filled the table. A chef was grilling steaks in front of the shelf, and many of the guests were already talking in the courtyard.

There are also people holding red wine glasses, talking in the villa, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can just see the high-spirited appearance of the guests.

"That's a high grade!" Fei Xiang whispered.

Meng Yuan nodded, and glanced at the people in front of him, many of whom were entrepreneurs he had heard or seen in his previous life, and there were also people working in government departments.

Did these people get together for the next port tender project?

Meng Yuan knows that there have been some big moves in the city recently, and these entrepreneurs have a common characteristic, that is, almost all of them are involved in the construction industry.

This can't help but make people think about it.

Meng Yuan saw that Zhou Kang was also in the villa, chatting happily. Fei Xiang noticed Meng Yuan's gaze and explained in a low voice: "You Director Zhou is very interesting, it is said that he has been busy in the provincial capital for the past two days, but I bet you can win!" ”

Meng Yuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

"I look at people's eyes, this time it was Huang Jianshe who invited the guest, but Zhou Kang became the guest of honor. It's very interesting! ”

Fei Xiang explained by the way the real reason why Cao Debang was reluctant to come. Many guests leaned towards Zhou Kang, and it was obvious that he was the protagonist of the night.

As he spoke, Huang Jianshe came over with a wine glass.

"Director Fei, Deputy Director Meng!"

"Mr. Huang, no wonder everyone says that you are the business leader of our Yingchun City, you beckoned, everyone came. This battle can only be done by a successful person like Mr. Huang! Civil servants like us, who have not eaten or drunk for a hundred years, cannot afford to buy such a private courtyard! ”

Fei Xiang saw Huang Jianshe and said with a smile.

Huang Jianshe hurriedly waved his hand: "Director Fei said with a smile, we are all the same, you are working for the country, I am working for the people, this building is the property of the company, our company will be listed in the next step, the shares are publicly traded, and those who buy shares are shareholders!" ”

Zhou Kang obviously also saw Meng Yuan and Fei Xiang, and walked over and said, "Xiao Meng, you are quite idle today, Deputy Secretary Li, who entered the county with you before and after, is still working overtime!" ”

Zhou Kang didn't directly say that Meng Yuan shouldn't come, but said, Li Wenlan is not qualified to participate in the banquet, you came to join in the fun, is it too much?

After Wang Dongsheng's case, many people know that the person behind Meng Yuan is Li Wenlan. Zhou Kang himself didn't deal with Meng Yuan, and it was normal to hit him with Li Wenlan!

Meng Yuan smiled: "Where am I qualified to be compared with Deputy Secretary Li." Director Zhou didn't come to work today, I heard from my colleague that you took a few days off, and I was also worried that Mr. Huang felt that the NDRC didn't pay enough attention to it, so I came here! ”

"Hehe, there is indeed something at home, that is, Mr. Huang called, and I rushed back." While Zhou Kang beat Meng Yuan, he praised Huang Jianshe by the way.

In his previous life, Huang Jianshe was Mayor Chai's money bag, Meng Yuan didn't know what the relationship between him and Zhou Kang was, and now it seems that there is a lot of collusion between them.

Thinking of this, Meng Yuan smiled and said, "In this way, Director Zhou and Mr. Huang have a very personal relationship!" ”

When Fei Xiang saw Meng Yuan's smile, he always felt that there was a kind of ill-intentioned taste in it.

Zhou Kang didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "I have known Mr. Huang for many years, what's the matter, do you have a problem?" ”

"Nope." Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "It's a good thing to make a wide range of friends, but if you are not careful, you may step on thunder." ”

"You, you're cursing me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, just say it casually." Meng Yuan said expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Huang Jianshe hurriedly beckoned the service to come over with a plate to break the deadlock.

Soon, the dinner officially began.

Huo Meifeng was dressed exquisitely and happened to be sitting beside Meng Yuan. Zhou Kang was the guest of honor, he smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Today is a good day, thanks to the invitation, I have the opportunity to gather with you and enjoy this gluttonous feast, this glass of wine, I suggest that I salute Mr. Huang first!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses, Huang Jianshe looked at it, and hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare to be, Director Zhou is polite, I am honored that you can appreciate the light and come to the cold house." The development of Pingyang County today is inseparable from the efforts of the comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission, and this glass of wine should be honored to ...... Zhou."

"Well, that's fine!"

Meng Yuan suddenly spoke, interrupting Huang Jianjian's words.

Everyone was stunned!

What's the situation, before the people finished speaking, you dried up the wine?

Which dirt bun has never seen the world?

Meng Yuan shook the empty wine glass: "This wine is really good, 82-year-old Lafite, I still drink it for the first time!" You're welcome, this dish has to be eaten while it's hot! ”

As he spoke, Meng Yuan couldn't help but move his chopsticks.

This is obviously not giving face!

Huang Jianshe was unhappy in his heart, but his face was still smiling, and Zhou Kang was not so deep in the city, and his face was directly pulled down.

He and Huang Jianshe haven't finished interacting yet, this high hat hasn't been put on yet, everyone has started to eat, where to put this face?

However, Meng Yuan is from the same unit as him, and he still came in with Fei Xiang, and the NDRC still has to have a unified voice in front of these entrepreneurs.

Seeing Zhou Kang's face darkened, everyone was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Meng Yuan is clearly here to find fault!

Zhou Kang is his boss, what is the benefit of doing this?

Huang Jianjian's eyes rolled: "Everyone, Deputy Director Meng may be hungry, and it is also my negligence that has made everyone wait for a long time, so we toast this glass ......of wine."

The matter of toasting was brought up again, but before the words were finished, Fei Xiang raised his glass and said: "Mr. Huang, don't say so much useless, the taste of this wine will change when it wakes up, I'll do it first as a respect!" ”

Then Fei Xiang grabbed a piece of lamb chops as if no one was around.

"Meng Yuan, this one tastes good, it's much stronger than what you canteen makes!"

Everyone is speechless, it must be better than the cafeteria, but is it appropriate for you to talk about this now?

Zhou Kang glared at Fei Xiang with some dissatisfaction: "Fei Xiang, didn't you eat at noon?" ”

"Director Zhou, I'll tell you the truth, I really didn't care about it at noon, so I just waited for this meal. Don't stand still, they're all acquaintances, sit down, it's enough to have a waiter Zhang Luo! ”

Fei Xiang is in the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, although he is a deputy position, but this time he is here on behalf of Director Cao. Zhou Kang naturally didn't dare to slap him in person, the fire in his heart couldn't come out, and Zhou Kang's face naturally wouldn't look good.

"Everyone please sit down, blame me for this today, I didn't expect our comrades from the National Development and Reform Commission to be so busy that they didn't even bother to eat lunch, so let's eat first, and I'll toast later."

Huang Jianshe is worthy of being a courtesan in the city!
