In Jindu Hotel, when Chen Xing arrived, Li Huayang, the director of the Provincial Tourism Bureau, was already waiting in the box. There was only Li Huayang in the big box. Huang Ming knew that he was not liked by him. Before Chen Xing arrived, he didn't go to the box to ask for trouble. It didn't matter if he was despised, but if he annoyed Chen Xing and left before he arrived, his efforts today would be in vain.
At the entrance of the hotel, Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing had been waiting for Chen Xing's arrival. They looked at the time from time to time. Although they knew that Chen Xing was on the way after calling Chen Xing, Huang Ming was still anxious. Li Huayang had arrived for a while. If he was dissatisfied and left after waiting for a long time, he and Lu Xiaojing couldn't stop him.
"Here he comes." Lu Xiaojing's eyes were sharp. She saw Chen Xing's car coming in advance and said happily.
"He finally comes. We've been waiting for him for a long time." Huang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have been so anxious now." Lu Xiaojing rolled her eyes at Huang Ming.
"I'm a man. How can I watch my wife being molested? If he dares, I'll beat him." Huang Ming snorted.
"You, I don't know what to say to you." Lu Xiaojing helplessly looked at her husband. She was in the hotel business. She usually dealt with all kinds of immortals. She had to be filial to those big and small yamen. She had long been used to those officials who took advantage of her with their words. Even if their hands and feet were not very well-behaved, as long as it was not too excessive, Lu Xiaojing had to endure it. For her, Li Huayang's behavior that day was not too excessive. Her husband's reaction was a bit too extreme. However, although she said that, Lu Xiaojing still felt sweet in her heart. Having a husband who could protect her was more important than anything else.
As they talked, they came to Chen Xing. Chen Xing said with a smile, "There was something that delayed me for a while. I almost couldn't come here at noon."
"What's the matter?" "Nothing serious, right?" Huang Ming heard Chen Xing's words and asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing. Don't you see that I'm here now?" Chen Xing said with a smile. Thinking of Zhou Zhijin lying in the hospital bed pretending to be sick, Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh.
That Li Huayang has been here for more than ten minutes. He's waiting in your private room. Chen Xing, let's hurry upstairs. Otherwise, that surnamed Li will probably have a long face later. Huang Ming checked the time again and said to Chen Xing.
After answering your call just now, I called him to explain. Don't worry. Chen Xing patted on Huang Ming's shoulder. He still gave enough respect to Li Huayang. After all, he was asking Li Huayang to do something for him. If he could get Li Huayang to do it, it would be fine. Chen Xing didn't need to find other connections. Although it was not a difficult thing for him to find someone else, as long as one was human, one would not like trouble.
"That's good. Chen Xing, Xiaojing and I won't go in with you later, in case something bad happens." Huang Ming laughed dryly.
That's fine. Just listen to my hints. Chen Xing nodded and whispered a few words to Huang Ming. After talking about the arrangements later, he went upstairs first.
Upstairs, when Chen Xing walked into the private room, Li Huayang was sitting alone and drinking tea. Seeing Chen Xing coming in, Li Huayang immediately got up and greeted him with a smile. "Mayor Chen is here."
"I'm sorry to keep Director Li waiting for a long time. Please forgive me." Chen Xing clasped his hands and bowed to Li Huayang apologetically.
"Mayor Chen is too polite. Everyone will inevitably encounter an emergency. We should understand each other." Li Huayang said with a smile.
"Director Li is right." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and said, "I've kept Director Li waiting for a long time. I think Director Li is starving. Let the hotel serve the dishes. I want to have a drink with Director Li at noon."
"Well, it's rare for Mayor Chen to have such a refined mood. It's my honor to have a drink with Mayor Chen." Li Huayang said with a smile. His eyes flickered from time to time. Li Huayang had inquired about the relationship between Chen Xing and Jin Du Hotel these two days. The day before yesterday, he was punched by Huang Ming in this hotel. With the relationship between Chen Xing and Jin Du Hotel, he must know it. It was not difficult to guess the purpose of inviting him to have a meal at Jin Du Hotel.
The two sat down. Li Huayang was like the Maitreya Buddha. He always had a smile on his face. He didn't speak, so people couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Director Li, what do you think of Jin Du Hotel?" After Chen Xing sat down, he suddenly said.
"Ah, not bad." Li Huayang was caught off guard and said subconsciously.
"Yes, it's not bad. I don't know how often Director Li comes here to eat. I like to entertain here." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"No wonder Mayor Chen also made an appointment here today. It turned out to be like this." Li Huayang responded with a smile and rolled his eyes.
"Jin Du Hotel is very good. It is not worse than other five-star hotels in the city. Director Li, what do you think?" Chen Xing glanced at Li Huayang.
"Well, I don't usually come here, so I don't know much about it." Li Huayang pretended to be thinking and said, but in his heart, he was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Xing would directly intercede for Jin Du Hotel.
"Director Li will know if you come here often in the future." Chen Xing smiled and glanced at the door. At this time, a waiter had come in with the dishes. Chen Xing coughed slightly and saw Huang Ming walking in.
"I heard that Mayor Chen invited distinguished guests today. This table of dishes and wine will be paid by our hotel. Mayor Chen and the guests must eat happily." The expression on Huang Ming's face was perfect. He didn't look at Li Huayang. When he turned his head, he pretended to be surprised and embarrassed. "It turned out to be Director Li."
Li Huayang snorted and looked at Chen Xing, but he didn't reprimand him. It was obvious that Chen Xing deliberately arranged this. Li Huayang couldn't fall out with Huang Ming on the spot. However, when he thought of the punch the day before yesterday, Li Huayang's left face was burning, as if it had just been hit. The day before yesterday, Huang Ming punched his left face without any explanation, which made him too ashamed to go to work in the afternoon.
"Director Li, the day before yesterday, you and Director Huang had a quarrel. Today, I will be the peacemaker and let Director Huang apologize to you. Director Li, don't care about him. This Huang has always been a bad temper. Sometimes he even dares to be angry with me. Don't take the matter the day before yesterday to heart." Chen Xing said with a smile.
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he winked at Huang Ming. Huang Ming also understood and came forward with a smile. "Director Li, I am a bad person. You are a great man. Please forgive me. It was my fault that day. Please don't take it to heart. I am here to apologize to you."
Huang Ming said and looked at Li Huayang eagerly, waiting for him to say something. Whether he was willing to let go of this matter depended on Li Huayang's attitude. In order to apply for the five-star rating of Jindu Hotel, Huang Ming was willing to pretend to be a grandson. Anyway, the day before yesterday, Li Huayang just reached out to hug Lu Xiaojing. Before Li Huayang had time to do any extra action, he was punched by Li Huayang. After all, he had vented his anger and more or less took advantage of Li Huayang. At this moment, it didn't matter if he pretended to be a grandson or not.
Li Huayang didn't speak, but his face was tight. He was also a director. Even if the Tourism Bureau was not a big bureau, it was still a department directly under the Provincial government. As a director, he was punched by someone. It would be strange if he could swallow it easily. If it weren't for the intervention of Chen Xing's people in the Public Security Bureau, it would be strange if Li Huayang didn't beat Huang Ming half to death.
"Director Li, I don't know if you can give me face?" Chen Xing said at the right time.
As soon as Chen Xing said that, Li Huayang's face eased a little. At the beginning, Chen Xing called Huang Ming Mr. Duan, and then directly called him Old Huang. The meaning of his words implied that he had a close relationship with Huang Ming and hoped that he would give him face. Li Huayang naturally understood that.
After a moment of silence, Li Huayang still didn't directly answer Chen Xing's words. The atmosphere was a little silent. Chen Xing thought that Li Huayang might not be able to put aside his face for the time being. He thought that he would take it slowly when they were having dinner. When he was about to speak, Li Huayang unexpectedly said. "Since Mayor Chen wants to make peace, I'm not a narrow-minded person. I'll let this matter go."
"Director Li, you're the Prime Minister. Today, I must toast to you to make up for the mistake of that day." Huang Ming said with a happy face.
"Yes, later, you really should toast to Director Li and apologize to him. Don't think that you won't reflect on your mistake if Director Li doesn't care about it. You have to change your bad temper in the future." Chen Xing said pretentiously.
Li Huayang listened to Chen Xing and Huang Ming's words. Although he knew that they were acting in front of him, he could only sit and listen. However, Li Huayang was really tired of sitting and couldn't wait to leave.
"Director Li, about the application for five-star hotel, I hope Director Li can take care of it." Huang Ming seized the opportunity and said with a smile.
Li Huayang's mouth twitched and he stared at Huang Ming. Under the gaze of Chen Xing, he squeezed out a smile and said. "Director Huang, don't worry. As Mayor Chen said, your hotel is no worse than other five-star hotels in the city. The conditions have been met. I think it won't be a problem to apply for a five-star hotel."
"With Director Li's words, I'm more confident." Huang Ming beamed with joy.
While the two were talking, Li Huayang's phone rang. After picking up the call, Li Huayang frowned for a moment. After making a few sounds, he turned to Chen Xing and said, "Mayor Chen, I'm afraid I have to apologize to you. There's something urgent at home, so I have to go back for a while. I'll have to wait for another day to have this meal with Mayor Chen."
"Director Li, since you have something urgent at home, go back quickly. Don't delay it." Chen Xing said with understanding.
Li Huayang nodded to Chen Xing apologetically and then left quickly. He didn't look at Huang Ming and quickly left the room.
After leaving the hotel, Li Huayang left by car. However, when the car turned a corner, Li Huayang didn't go home as he said. Instead, he asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road. After Li Huayang got out of the car, he went straight to another car in front of him.
"Director Li, how do you feel eating with Chen Xing?" In the car, a man said with a smile.
