Lu Zixing said: "Secretary Xiong, in fact, it's somewhat unfair to Jiang Pengpeng to be assigned to Jingzhou. Next time there are vacancies for standing committee members in Lushui, Jieshi, or Xingshi...Xiao Zheng vaguely felt a sense of danger. 。He thinks that Chen Hong treating everyone to meals so often will eventually cause trouble. 。There's no such thing as a free lunch, everything in this world comes at a price. 。When someone else pays for you, they must have something to ask of you. It doesn't matter if the other party is a private company or a government agency, if they are paying for you now, they will definitely expect you to do something for them later. 。Over a meal that costs more than 20,000, how will you afford it in the future Xiao Zheng is quite worried about Chen Hong. 。Just as Xiao Zheng was worrying, the door was pushed open and Chen Hong came in. Her attire today was different from before. 。A black turtleneck, a red leather jacket, her hair pulled back into a neat bun. She looked chic, sharp and radiant. 。It is evident that Chen Hong put on her best demeanor to entertain guests today. 。But none of that eased Xiao Zheng's worries. His gaze fell upon the liquor and cigarettes, and he said to Chen Hong, "So much Moutai liquor and Golden Leaf cigarettes, isn't it too extravagant Won't you owe people too big a favor" 。"Chen Hong smiled and said, “Don't worry, I have already finished the operation.” 。Xiao Zheng said: "I'd rather pay for it myself." 。Chen Hong said: “That little money of yours, how many times can you afford this kind of dinner” Xiao Zheng said: "Actually, we don't have to make it so grand." 。"Invite the kind of guests you can afford!"

Chen Hong put her hands on his shoulders and pressed him down onto a mahogany sofa with a golden cushion, saying: "Just sit here and wait for the leaders to arrive." 。I've taken care of everything else, you don't have to worry about it. 。In Jingzhou, we've taken good care of the city Party secretary. What else could there be Waiter, bring us some tea..."

The waiter came in with a smile, poured two cups of tea for them, and placed them on the rosewood tea table. 。Chen Hong then instructed the waiter to open a bottle of wine and prepare the dining table. She said, "The leaders will be here soon." 。“Sure, I’ll get right on it,” said the waiter. 。After about ten minutes, the secretary of the municipal committee, Tan Zhen, arrived accompanied by everyone as expected. 。Anxian County Party Secretary Wang Chunhua called Chen Hong in advance. 。Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng arrived at the entrance of the "Mirror State Banquet" but were greeted by Tan Zhen. 。Accompanying him were An County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Wang Chunhua, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian, Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department Director Gao Rongyuan, and Qian Xinhua, deputy director of the municipal people's congress. Surprisingly, there was also Yao Baixiang, the head of the An County Party Committee Organization Department! Today, Tan Zhen invited Yao Baixiang to this occasion, which shows his trust and importance placed on him. 。As for Gao Rongyuan, Xiao Zheng found it a bit hard to understand. 。He had visited An County many times before and also supported Xiao Zheng and their work. Xiao Zheng always thought his relationship with Tan Zhen was average, but he didn't expect Tan Zhen to invite him today. 。Therefore, it can be seen that Gao Rongyuan and Tan Zhen's relationship should also be good. 。Is Gao Rongyuan trying to please both sides

After everyone shook hands, they were led into the private room. 。Tan Zhen said: "Let's get started, are all the people here" Wang Chunhua, although already the deputy secretary of An County Party Committee, seemed to have returned to his role as a secretary today. He proactively said: "Secretary Tan, everyone is here, we can begin." 。Then Chen Hong said, "Please sit down." 。Secretary Tan, please take the main seat. 。"I couldn't possibly sit in the main seat," Tan said, feigning politeness. "Whoever is the host today should have that honor." 。Wang Chunhua gave Chen Hong a look. 。Chen Hong immediately said: "Secretary Tan, no matter who is the host, the secretary should sit in the main seat." 。Secretary, please have a seat. Otherwise, no one else will be able to sit. 。"Secretary Tan, if you don't sit down, it will be difficult for everyone else." 。All everyone can do is stand with you. 。Only after you sit down can everyone else sit down. 。Then Tan Zhen smiled and said, “Well then, you guys are really too strict.” 。I sat here so that everyone could get settled and seated sooner. 。"Yes, yes," someone beside him agreed. 。Then everyone laughed and sat down. 。

Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian said, "Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng, who of you will accompany Secretary Tan Sit next to Secretary Tan!" Generally, the person who is hosting a banquet sits at the main seat, but today Tan Zhen sat in the main seat. So Kong Youtian was polite and asked the host to sit next to Secretary Tan. 。。“Xiao Zheng didn’t indicate he wanted to sit over there either. He wasn’t very interested in this occasion today.” 。Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian glanced at Xiao Zheng and then shifted his gaze to Chen Hong. “Chen Hong, come sit here.” 。"Didn't you say you were treating today It wouldn't be right for no one to come and accompany Secretary Tan," Chen Hong said with a smile, "Well then, I'll come and accompany Secretary Tan." 。Tan Zhen didn't speak either, and when Chen Hong sat down, he smelled the fragrance coming from her. 。

This is the fragrance that only young women have. Tan Zhen, who is over fifty, has recently been afraid of older women because the aura of older women is off, but the fragrance on young women makes him unable to resist. 。Although Chen Hong's boyfriend, Xiao Zheng, was also present today, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee and doesn't care about Xiao Zheng at all. 。Tan Zhen sat down, Chen Hong also sat down, and the others followed suit, sitting according to their rank. Xiao Zheng ended up being seated at the end. 。As for the seating arrangement, Xiao Zheng didn't really mind. However, Chen Hong sitting beside Secretary Tan made Xiao Zheng quite uncomfortable. 。Only Chen Hong very obediently said to Secretary Tan, “Secretary, please just give the order and we can begin.” 。Tan Zhen sat in the main seat, and he no longer hesitated. He said, “Well, let’s get started. Everyone raise your glasses.” 。The gathering began, as always, with a familiar routine. Everyone toasted each other, exchanging polite compliments, and everyone rushed to raise their glasses in honor of Secretary Tan. 。This is all normal, and something Xiao Zheng has long been accustomed to. 。However, Xiao Zheng saw Chen Hong being so proactive, so alluring, so obedient, and so smiling in front of Tan Zhen. This was something he couldn't bear. 。Xiao Zheng really disliked his woman acting so freely in front of other men, and that too when he was present. 。Xiao Zheng felt like he was the most embarrassed person today. 。Everyone was drinking and having a good time, laughing excitedly and showering each other with exaggerated compliments. However, Xiao Zheng couldn't drink and wouldn't smile. He had no interest in flattering anyone. 。Chen Hong gave Xiao Zheng several winks, but Xiao Zheng pretended not to see them. 。Tan Zhen and other leaders certainly felt it too, but they all pretended not to see it. 。Midway through, Wang Chunhua went out for a moment. When she came back, her voice was intentionally loud, overpowering the noise in the room. "Secretary Tan," she said, "Isn't it coincidental When I went out just now, I ran into Mayor Hong and Deputy Mayor Xiao. They were having dinner with the leaders from Yuezhou, saying that this was the last dinner for their inspection tour, and they would be going back tomorrow." 。The Mayor asked me why I was here, and I couldn't hide it. I told him you were here, and the Mayor said he wanted to offer a toast. 。I said I didn't need it, but he insisted on coming. 。I'll be there soon. 。Tan Zhendo: "Really That's quite a coincidence." 。The mayor was also polite, actually, there's no need to come over. 。When they come, I'll have a few more drinks. 。"Director of the Propaganda Department Gao Rongyuan said: 'The wine is good today, Secretary Tan should have a couple more glasses.'" 。However, this news shocked Xiao Zheng very much. He didn't expect that the mayor of Hongshi and Xiao Jingyu would also be here. 。Let them know that they are having dinner with Tan Secretary along with Chen Hong, and how it will reflect on them Especially Mayor Hong, he might misunderstand the situation

Before Xiao Zheng could think further, Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu walked in, followed by a group of leaders, obviously from Yuezhou. 。Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu were both taken aback when they saw Xiao Zheng. 。Apparently, they were unaware of the fact that Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong had invited Tan Zhen to dinner. 。Upon their arrival, they nearly filled the entire house. 。 Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ck up only to have him fall down again. This repeated itself several times, the force of his descent completely neutralized by the resilient net. 。At this point, the net on one side tilted and slippe...
