Qin Chizian doesn't dare to point fingers at others, being a nobody themselves. Regardless of whether the pointing is accurate or not, as long as they dare to do so, they will feel a moment of relief and a lifetime of pain.
But no matter what, Records Qi must be in place!
Thinking of this, Qin Chizian hides in the office and calls Zhang Guohua: "Brother Zhang, let Records Qi listen to the phone call."
Zhang Guohua remained silent, then Qi Huaiyong's voice came through: "Hello?"
Qin Chizian: " Records Qi, brother Zhao suggested having a meal together, not too many people, just three or four..."
Qi Huaiyong instantly understood: "Okay, got it."
Hanging up the phone, Qi Huaiyong whispered something in Qiao Beinen's ear.
Qiao Beinen raised an eyebrow and replied, "Alright!"
He then turned to the group accompanying him and said, "Baliushu Township has limited reception capacity. After the visit and research are completed, Comrade Huaiyong, Secretary Honghai, and the County Magistrate of Songshan should stay behind; the rest of you can head back."
Qin Chizian led the "businessmen" who had just finished their official discussions out, while Wan Hongcai and Jian Junzhan guided the leaders inward. At Qin Chizian's gesture, Zhao Youqi smiled and nodded at Qi Huaiyong.
Everyone present understood the unspoken dynamics of the situation.
The jeep started up and headed towards the Baoliushu Township Government, where Deputy Township Head He Hongmei and Comrade Gao Jiajia were preparing for the reception.
Rattan-woven display room, inch head directly lay straight on a woven bed: "Last time in Beautiful Country I almost spent 100 US dollars to buy one, but now I'm good!"
Meanwhile, Sunglasses comfortably sat on a Rattan chair: "My old man at home keeps nagging me, saying that when he was young, everything at home was either made of wood or rattan. I didn't believe it, but now I do. This isn't just a chair, it's art, it's culture!"
Inch head: "Let's not talk about art and culture. In our hands, they are now bullets and bayonets. They must be transported to the other side of the sea to properly slaughter those little Japanese!"
Just as they were chatting happily, Inch head sniffed: "What's that? It smells so good?"
Gao Jiajia came in with a few cups of water: "Director Qin arranged for Master Liu to stew wild rabbits in the kitchen. He cooked two of them and put them all in the pot!"
inch head sniffing: "It's so damn fragrant! I can't wait!"
Zhao Youqi: "Let me formally introduce you guys."
Pulling Qin Chizian: "This is my new little brother Qin Chizian, the first time he saw me, he was so awesome, he didn't even bother with me, giving me a bright feeling in front of my eyes."
He introduced Inch Head and the sunglasses. "This is my little brother Chen Ming and Chai Liang from Yanjing. They are both from the courtyard, but not the kind of dandy you might think. They earn clean money and run legitimate businesses, though they certainly benefit from the influence of their elders."
He then pointed to the driver. "This is Xiao Tian; you met him on the train last time."
Qin Chizian stepped forward to formally greet the three of them. "Brother Chen, Brother Chai, I'm what we call a bent thorn stick in our village, with a rather poor temper..."
Inch head said, "When we hang out later, don't bring old Zhao along. He's a high-ranking cadre now and has to follow certain rules when he goes out. Unlike us common folks, we can do whatever we want. At lunch today, let old Zhao sit with your leaders and talk about their national affairs, while we sit together and chat about trivial matters and business."
Qin Chizian readily agreed, "Okay, I'll accompany the leaders, but my rank is too low."
Outside, the cars made noise as two small cars entered, one after the other. Four people, including Qiao Beinen, got out of the cars without their secretaries. In the cafeteria, there were two small private rooms separated by screens. Wan Hongcai and Jian Junzhan accompanied Zhao Youqi and the city County leaders inside, mainly responsible for serving. Qin Chizian, He Hongmei, and Gao Jiajia accompanied Chen Ming and Chai Liang in the outer room, also acting as waiters. The dishes were served, including braised wild rabbit, steamed smoked wild boar leg, spicy mountain chicken, accompanied by the unique aroma of scrambled eggs with Sophora flower, and tender tofu mixed with Chinese Toon.
Inside, the conversation was still going on, but outside, Chen Ming had already put down his chopsticks: "There's a lot of small talk in there, are you tired? Let's just focus on our meal!" As he spoke, he started to help himself to the mountain chicken.
So, regardless of what was happening inside, everyone started eating as well.
After a few bites of meat, Chen Ming turned his head and asked Qin Chizian, "Brother, do we have any wine?"
Gao Jiajia Quick-wittedly said, "I have two bottles under my desk. Last time, brother Qin helped me make money, so I took two bottles from my dad and planned to give them to brother Qin as a gift. I'm drinking them now, so brother Qin will know that I've given him something." Everyone laughed. Zhao Youqi asked Chen Ming in the inner room, "You seem to be the happiest one laughing, what's making you so happy?"
Chai Liang said: "Chen Ming, get some wine for Xiao Qin brothers..."
Qiao Beinen spoke from inside: "Also get us a bottle."
Both sides smiled.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Qiao Beinen invited, " Director Zhao, shall we go to Jiangcheng?"
Zhao Youqi replied, "Secretary Qiao, we have met and toasted... I won't disturb the urban area, the old man has repeatedly urged me... Please understand, it's not easy for me either. If it weren't for the help of Xiao Qin brother, I wouldn't have been able to come this time. You go about your business, just consider me already gone."
Qiao Beinen: "Well, if that's the case, I'll comply respectfully and won't insist anymore! In fact, it's not just me, even the Secretary Lu from the province and Governor De Liang are hoping that Old Zhao can come back to Jiangbei for a visit."
Zhao Youqi: "I will definitely convey the message to my old man."
Then turning to Qin Chizian: "My old man wants me to ask you when you will go to Yanjing, so that my sister and brother-in-law can meet you."
Qin Chizian: "Mr. Zhao has a really good memory... When our Jiangbei leaders go on a business trip, I'll accompany them and learn a thing or two."
During this time, Li Honghai and Gau Songshan just smiled and didn't say a word.
Before parting ways, Zhao Youqi shook Qi Huaiyong's hand repeatedly and said, "When you go on your business trip to Beijing, remember to bring Xiao Qin with you, brother." Qi Huaiyong nodded repeatedly. On the way back to Jiangcheng, Qiao Beinen pushed the secretary into Qi Huaiyong's car and made Qi Huaiyong sit with him.
Qiao Beinen: "What is Xiao Qin's relationship with the Zhao family...?"
Qi Huaiyong: "According to Xiao Qin, Old Zhao asked him to help with some personal matters."
Qiao Beinen: " Old Zhao has always kept public and private matters separate."
Qi Huaiyong: "Secretary Qiao, during the May Day holiday, that Xiao Qin who came to Jiangcheng to visit his girlfriend encountered an incident... Moreover, according to our investigation, the existing problem is not limited to this, and this Xu Feng has received extremely poor evaluations!"
Qiao Beinen: "Hmm, the public security forces need to be rectified. If this gets out, what will become of Jiangcheng!"
Qi Huaiyong: "Our District Committee has considered personnel changes, but the Provincial Department Deputy Director Liu has spoken..."
Qiao Beinen: "Is it Liu Ming? You don't need to worry about it, the troublemaker must be dealt with."
Also said: "When will you be on a business trip to Yanjing? Let me know in advance."
Qi Huaiyong: "I will keep in touch with Xiao Qin in a timely manner."
Qiao Beinen: "Talent..."
