"In China, there's a saying when you drink, you have deep feelings. If you drink it once, you drink it once. If your feelings are shallow, you lick it once." Ma Yingjie looked at Mr. Jack and took a big gulp. However, it was hard liquor, and Ma Yingjie was not used to it. He choked and coughed, and his face turned red. Mr. Jack was very happy to see Ma Yingjie like this. He smiled like a child and kept shouting in English, "Good, very good."
Ma Yingjie finally stopped coughing. He looked at Mr. Jack and said, "Mr. Jack, this is the first time I've drunk the liquor from your hometown. I'll remember it. It's spicy, too spicy."
In fact, Ma Yingjie had drunk this kind of liquor when he was with Situ Lan. He deliberately said that it was his first time to drink it, so that Luo Tianyun's words would be more meaningful. He admired his boss very much. He had actually neutralized the javelins thrown by Li Huiling and Gu Qingming without batting an eyelid. Moreover, he had actually made Mr. Jack feel touched and had a deeper impression of Ma Yingjie and Wu Dou at the same time. Li Huiling and Gu Qingming had never thought that Ma Yingjie could kill two birds with one stone.
What was more unexpected was that Ma Yingjie signaled Hong Yu to serve the Dongpo Pancake for the next dish.
Hong Yu and Gao Fali were very grateful to Ma Yingjie. At least Luo Tianyun resolved Li Huiling and Gu Qingming's deliberate tricks because of Ma Yingjie. Moreover, Luo Tianyun didn't investigate the origin of this expensive liquor, which made Gao Fali feel relieved. Hong Yu thought that Ma Yingjie didn't even look at Gao Fali and her when Li Huiling and Gu Qingming were playing tricks on him. It seemed that he was going to handle it alone. Therefore, she worked harder to introduce the Dongpo Pancake, which was very delicate. It was not like a dish at all, but a work of art. As soon as the Dongpo Pancake was served, Mr. Jack exclaimed, "Oh, my God, it's so beautiful."
At this time, Hong Yu introduced Su Dongpo's background with great affection. She read Su Dongpo's poem in public, "The great river flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes throughout the ages. On the west side of the old fortress, people say that it is Zhou Lang's Red Cliff in the Three Kingdoms. Rocks fly through the sky, and the waves beat the shore, rolling up piles of snow. The rivers and mountains are like a painting, and there are many heroes at that time. Thinking of Gongjin, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, and she was heroic. With feather fans and silk handkerchiefs, she talked and laughed, and the enemy disappeared in a puff of smoke. My soul wandered in the old country, and I smiled with affection, and my hair turned gray early. The world is like a dream, and I am like the moon in the river. "
It had to be said that Hong Yu read it very well. Not only was Mr. Jack fascinated, but Luo Tianyun was also fascinated. He didn't expect that Ma Yingjie would sing such a song in the middle, and it was so well performed. Especially this girl, who had such a beautiful voice. When she recited Su Dongpo's poem, everyone in the banquet was shocked. Mr. Jack could understand this poem, and he liked it very much. He was excited again, and the English was good, and it flowed out from his mouth.
The timing was very favorable to Ma Yingjie's plan. When he was about to continue Hong Yu's words and introduce the historical allusions of Su Dongpo and Qiu Jiawan, Hong Yu looked at Mr. Jack and said, "Mr. Jack, do you like the great scholar Su Dongpo?"
Mr. Jack gave a thumbs up and said, "I like him, I like him very much."
"Su Dongpo lived in Wu Du for a long time, and this place faced the lake. Every day, he would sail his boat on the lake, drink wine, and compose poems. It is said that this place is going to be built into a high-speed railway station. If it is built along the lake, it must be very beautiful, very beautiful. Isn't that right, Mr. Jack? "Hong Yu looked at Mr. Jack with enthusiasm and yearning.
"Linzigou didn't live along the lake." Mr. Jack looked at Luo Tianyun in confusion. Until now, Li Huiling and Gu Qingming completely understood that Ma Yingjie had done something to this Dongpo Cuisine. Moreover, he had actually borrowed the mouth of the lobby manager to say it. He said it quietly, but there were so many tricks hidden in it.
Li Huiling couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up with a "whoosh", but his face was flushed.
"This wine doesn't intoxicate people, but people get drunk. Mayor Hui Ling's face was as beautiful as peach blossoms. Mr. Jack, our mayor is very excited because of your arrival. " Luo Tianyun looked at Li Huiling, who had stood up and was ready to get angry at Hong Yu. As soon as Luo Tianyun's words fell, Mr. Jack actually tilted his head and looked at Li Huiling. Li Huiling was too embarrassed to get angry again, so he hurriedly said, "Come, Mr. Ke Jie came from afar, let me propose a toast to you." Saying that, he raised his glass and proposed a toast to Mr. Jack. Mr. Jack had to stand up, clinking his glass with Li Huiling and saying, "Little girl, don't leave. After drinking, take me to see the place you recommended."
Li Huiling and Gu Qingming were really very nervous at this time. If Mr. Jack really went to Qiu Jiawan and really chose a place to build the new city, would their painstaking efforts for so long and build such a powerful forest ditch be in vain? If so, how could Governor Lu Xinbo explain it to him?
Hong Yu was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know whether to stay or leave because Li Huiling was obviously full of hostility towards her. She was afraid that if she stayed, she would put Gao Fali in a difficult position. If Li Huiling really hurt her with words, would Gao Fali stand up and say something or not? If he stood up and said something, the intimacy between her and Gao Fali would definitely be exposed to the world. If Gao Fali didn't stand up and say something, she would feel very uncomfortable. So, she wanted to leave. Anyway, the task that Ma Yingjie gave her was successfully completed.
At this time, Luo Tianyun said, "Little girl, go down and eat some food. Take Mr. Jack to see the beautiful and magical place you recommended."
"Yes, little girl, go and come back quickly. We will wait for you." Mr. Jack also took the opportunity to say something. Then, the plan to go straight to Qiu Jiawan after the meal was carried out. Li Huiling and Gu Qingming were dumbfounded.
The following process of eating was quick and simple. Firstly, Mr. Jack was going to Qiu Jiawan. Secondly, Luo Tianyun consciously sped up to end the banquet. He didn't expect that Ma Yingjie would make such a move quietly in the banquet. This move was so wonderful that it caught Li Huiling and Gu Qingming unprepared.
Luo Tianyun cast an admiring look at Ma Yingjie. Of course, Ma Yingjie understood it and sped up the speed of serving the dishes. Mr. Jack was curious about Qiu Jiawan. After eating for a while, he asked Ma Yingjie, "Where is that little girl? I'm full. Can I go now? "
Li Huiling didn't look good. She excused herself to go to the washroom and walked out of the VIP room. Ma Yingjie guessed that Li Huiling must have reported it to Governor Lu Xinbo. He couldn't help but cast a worried look at Luo Tianyun. Luo Tianyun caught Ma Yingjie's look and signaled him to call Hong Yu to end the banquet.
Because of Hong Yu's excellent performance, Gao Fali was also immersed in pride. Besides, the success of this banquet was also a part of his plan. He was one of the participants. Seeing Ma Yingjie stand up, he guessed that Ma Yingjie was calling Hong Yu. He couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Gu Qingming saw Gao Gaoli's smile. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a well-planned banquet. However, he was not willing to quit just like that and lose to Ma Yingjie. However, he found that Hong Yu at least had some kind of unclear relationship with Ma Yingjie or Gao Fali. As for which one of them, Gu Qingming didn't know, but he would find out.
Gu Qingming sat still until Hong Yu came. When a group of people went straight to Qiu Jiawan, Gu Qingming didn't say a word. However, Li Huiling deliberately slowed down and moved to Gu Qingming's side. He said, "Act according to the circumstances." Gu Qingming nodded.
Li Huiling had already reported what happened at the banquet to Governor Lu Xinbo. Naturally, she was scolded by Governor Lu Xinbo. After the scolding, Governor Lu Xinbo comforted Li Huiling for a long time and asked her to find Gu Qingming and let him handle this matter.
Now, Gu Qingming had already understood Governor Lu Xinbo's meaning. Li Huiling was nothing. At most, she was a woman with long hair and short knowledge. If she had listened to him and sent Mr. Jack to the province for dinner in the morning, there wouldn't have been any trouble. However, Li Huiling insisted on her so-called face. Now, she lost her face and they fell into a passive position again.
Gu Qingming didn't go to Qiu Jiawan because he had something to do. Of course, Luo Tianyun, Ma Yingjie, and Mr. Jack walked together and were talking about Su Dongpo's story with great interest. They didn't care about Gu Qingming's behavior.
The group of people went out of the hotel and got into their respective cars. Mr. Jack, Luo Tianyun, and Ma Yingjie had a good talk, so they got into Luo Tianyun's car. Seeing that Mr. Jack got into Luo Tianyun's car, Li Huiling felt a little uncomfortable. However, she still smiled and modestly let Mr. Jack's two assistants get into her car. The two assistants were still very grateful to Li Huiling. In addition to taking good care of them, she was also the most enthusiastic to them.
Li Huiling's car followed Luo Tianyun's car and drove to Qiu Jiawan together. In the car, Li Huiling and Mr. Jack's two assistants were talking and laughing. They didn't feel depressed at all like they did at the banquet. The two assistants were also happy to talk with the beautiful mayor. In the car, the two assistants also told some interesting things about Mr. Jack. Li Huiling basically spent the whole journey with a smile.
However, when Luo Tianyun's car drove into Qiu Jiawan, Li Huiling's car stopped behind Luo Tianyun's. When they got out of the car, many people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were all old people, village women, and children. As soon as they came up, they directly attacked Mr. Jack. Several women hugged his waist. Some children picked up stones and threw them. Some women tore his clothes, hugged his legs, and even grabbed Mr. Jack's watch. Mr. Jack was very calm at first. However, as more and more people surrounded him, he began to panic. He shouted in very bad Chinese, "What are you doing?"
