"Cough!!! Cough!!! Everyone, please be quiet … "Just when Li Gaoren and He Liangcai were about to say something, Chen Xuemin, who was initially calm, walked up to the stage and picked up the microphone with excitement written all over his face.
Seeing that Chen Xuemin seemed to want to say something, everyone stopped and shifted their gaze to Chen Xuemin, who was holding the microphone, to see what he wanted to say.
Seeing that everyone's gaze was focused on him, Chen Xuemin smiled and said with a slightly excited tone, "Students, I'll make it short. Just now, an elder of mine was also eating next to me. He heard that we're having a gathering here, so he suggested coming over to see everyone …"
Speaking up to this point, Chen Xuemin paused for a moment. He looked at the audience, who were listening in a daze, and continued, "This elder of mine is currently the Chief of the Yi City Police Station. Also, the current Yi City Municipal Party Secretary Sun is having dinner with my elder …"
Wow!!!
Before Chen Xuemin could finish, the people below were in an uproar as if a boulder had been thrown into a lake.
Most of the people here were from ordinary families. Even if they had connections, they would only be in the village committee or neighborhood committee. They had long heard that Chen Xuemin's elder was a high-ranking official in Yi City, but they did not expect him to be the director of the Yi City Police Station and the Yi City Municipal Party Secretary.
What did these people think of ordinary people? If the director of the Police Station was equivalent to the county lieutenant in ancient times, then the Yi City Municipal Party Secretary was equivalent to the ancient county magistrate. There was a saying in ancient times, "The magistrate destroys the magistrate's family and destroys the magistrate's family." It could be seen that the magistrate's methods were much more ruthless than the magistrate's.
Now that they heard that not only were they going to meet the director of the Police Station, but the Yi City Municipal Party Secretary was also there. This was equivalent to ordinary people meeting the magistrate in ancient times.
Don't think that modern people did not have to kneel to the magistrate like in ancient times. Just because they saw the Yi City Municipal Party Secretary was nothing special, it was all just for show. Try saying that if you had the guts!
Thousands of years of thinking about officials had long engraved the idea of "ordinary people don't fight with officials" among the people at the bottom of the social ladder in China. As long as they wore that layer of skin, they would feel superior to others, let alone meeting the Yi City Municipal Party Secretary, who was a high-ranking official in the eyes of ordinary people. Many people had already begun to feel anxious.
Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Chen Xuemin's face flashed a proud smile. Holding the microphone, he coughed again and said, "Alright, everyone, hurry up and get ready. Tidy up a little first. My elders and Secretary Sun will be here soon."
Hearing this, everyone stopped drinking. Those who were a little drunk just now were now more sober. One by one, they hurriedly returned to their seats and hurriedly cleaned up the messy table. Chen Xuemin and his brother then asked the Metal Emperor's people to arrange another table. Then they went out together and waited outside the door.
"Hey, Fatty, you better be careful." Seeing Li Gaoren hurriedly tidying up the leftovers on the table and almost spilled the glass of wine on the table, Ye Xuan hurriedly reached out to catch the glass. Looking at Li Gaoren who seemed to be so excited that his limbs were trembling, Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Why are you so excited? I asked you to tidy up, not clean the table."
"Haha. I'm quite excited. I used to see him on TV. I didn't expect to see him in person here. After tonight, I'll be able to brag to others that I've met the Secretary of Yi City's Municipal Committee. Maybe I'll even be able to toast him or something. "Li Gaoren was quite straightforward. His oily face trembled with excitement.
"Look at how cocky you are!" Seeing Li Gaoren's excited look, Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and laughed.
"He is just an ordinary person. He's so excited. He's the Secretary of the Municipal Committee. How can he remember a little commoner like you? "He Liangcai, who was at the side, came over and said.
Turning his head to look at He Liangcai's trembling legs under the table, Ye Xuan could not help but twitch his mouth slightly. He complained in his heart, "He's excited for nothing? You're not excited? If you're not excited, why are your legs shaking? "
Facing these two clowns, Ye Xuan was already helpless.
After everyone cleaned up for a while, they suddenly heard greetings coming from outside the door. Then, the door was pushed in. A group of big shots who often appeared on Yi City's TV station walked in.
Seeing these people walk in, the originally noisy private room suddenly seemed to have been muted. It was as if they were being examined by the principal in school. Even those who were already seventy to eighty percent drunk became a little sober. Everyone straightened their backs like soldiers undergoing inspection.
"Ahem, let me first introduce everyone. This is our Yi City Municipal Secretary Sun. This is our Yi City Mayor Li. This is the Municipal Political Consultative Conference's Secretary Hong. This is the Municipal Committee's Secretary Li. And this is my uncle, Bureau Chief Chen. Please give him a round of applause!" Seeing that everyone was sitting properly, Chen Yixing, who brought the big shots in, was very dissatisfied. He walked to the middle and introduced everyone.
"Welcome! Welcome all the leaders!!! Clap! Clap! Wang Zhiyun was the first to stand up from his chair and clap his hands hard!
"Welcome! Welcome! Clap clap clap!!! "
With Wang Zhiyun taking the lead, everyone reacted. They stood up and extended their hands to clap hard. For a moment, the applause was like thunder.
After hearing the thunderous applause, a look of satisfaction flashed across Chen Yixing's face. Then, he took a step back and said to Sun Xiangming with a flattering smile, "Secretary Sun, may I have the honor of asking you to say a few words to us?"
Sun Xiangming didn't hear Chen Yixing's words at all. His eyes looked forward and fell on a person.
Seeing that Sun Xiangming's eyes seemed to be looking at him, Wang Zhiyun's heart surged with ecstasy. He thought to himself, Could it be that when I went to visit Secretary Sun with my father before the New Year, Secretary Sun still remembered me?
He saw Sun Xiangming, who was standing there, suddenly striding forward. Wang Zhiyun was more and more sure that Secretary Sun remembered him. He didn't expect that Secretary Sun would actually condescend to walk towards him. Wang Zhiyun was so excited that his face trembled a few times. He took a step forward with his right leg and was about to extend his hand. "Sun …"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Sun Xiangming walk past him expressionlessly. Then, he slowed down and walked in front of Ye Xuan, who happened to fall two tables behind Wang Zhiyun. He bowed slightly and carefully extended his hand. "Hello, you are Mr Ye, right?!"
