At this moment, Leng Hongyan said, "Chief Hu has always been open and aboveboard. Under his management, the crime rate in Jingjiang has been decreasing year by year. If I hadn't harbored criminals and violated the organization's rules, Chief Hu wouldn't have allowed Li Qianjin to break into my house. I should apologize to Chief Hu for this. Li Qianjin is a well-trained subordinate. Not only did he break into my house, but he also took away the Deputy Magistrate of Lin County in front of me. I've seen his capability. He's really a ruthless person. " Leng Hongyan's smile deepened, but Yao Haidong could feel a chill down his spine. It seemed that Leng Hongyan didn't want to forgive these people. At least, she was venting her dissatisfaction in another way.
"Lady Ji, it's my fault for bringing DuCounty Deputy Magistrate to the Commission for Discipline Inspection without checking carefully. I'm also at fault. If there's anything wrong, it's my fault. If it wasn't for me, the State Security wouldn't have made a mistake. "Wu Tao walked over and took the initiative to take the blame. He also apologized seriously.
Because Liu Lihai was mentioned, Liu Lihai had to say something. He said, "I'm young and didn't think things through properly. This incident has caused a bad influence. I'm here to apologize to all of you. Please forgive me this time and give me a chance to change. It won't happen again. However, in front of all of you, I still have to say that I didn't take the gift money. The 50,000 yuan in my dormitory was the compensation given to my godfather by the prison. My godmother insisted on giving Gong Yue and me 50,000 yuan each. I left the money in my dormitory when I came back early this morning. This money was exchanged with my godfather's life. I didn't take the gift money. "
As soon as Liu Lihai spoke, everyone, including Wu Haotian, felt a little awkward. For a moment, everyone froze on the spot, not knowing how to respond to Liu Lihai's words. Leng Hongyan was obviously happy. What she wanted was to give them a show of strength.
Yao Haidong was worried that Liu Lihai would ruin the atmosphere that had just calmed down, so he hurriedly said, "It's all a misunderstanding. It's fine as long as it's cleared up. Secretary, shall we go to the private room? It's quite cold to stand outside and talk. "
As soon as Yao Haidong finished speaking, Secretary Wu Haotian hurriedly said, "Haidong is really considerate. It's tiring and cold to stand and talk on such a cold day. Let's go back to the private room and eat while we talk. " As he said that, he gestured for Leng Hongyan to go first. Leng Hongyan was also reasonable, so she didn't say anything else. She smiled and took the lead in the private room as a first-class madam.
After the group of people entered the private room, Leng Hongyan was naturally invited to the chairman's seat. She didn't refuse and sat down. She pointed at Liu Lihai and said, "Xiao Liu, come over and sit next to me."
As soon as Leng Hongyan's words fell, everyone, including Yao Haidong, was surprised and bewildered. Their eyes were all on Liu Lihai's face. At this moment, Liu Lihai didn't want to find a hole to hide in. He wished he could instantly become invisible or turn into a gust of wind and float away. He really didn't expect that on this occasion, Leng Hongyan would actually let him sit next to her so calmly.
Liu Lihai was directly shocked by Leng Hongyan's words, and for a moment, he was frozen. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to say. After all, in this room, regardless of age or position, it was impossible for him to sit in the most important seat. Moreover, he was sitting next to Leng Hongyan, so he really didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Leng Hongyan smiled and said to Secretary Wu Haotian, "Secretary Haotian, since you pushed me to the chairman's seat, then today's banquet isn't based on position, right?"
Wu Haotian was a little embarrassed by Leng Hongyan's question, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer. However, he quickly smiled and said, "You are Lady Ji, no matter what, of course you have to sit." Not only did Wu Haotian refer to Leng Hongyan as Lady Ji, but he also used honorifics. Of course, Secretary Wu Haotian's answer, in Yao Haidong's opinion, was extremely skillful and ingenious. Yes, Leng Hongyan was now Lady Ji, and no matter what they said, they respected the three words' Lady Ji ', not' Leng Hongyan '. Here, Leng Hongyan didn't exist, only the Lady Ji existed in their mouths. It was obvious that they only valued Old Master Ji, who belonged to the same category as men, and not the woman herself. In their eyes, men's rights were still the main focus, and this point, even Yao Haidong had a strong inclination.
Leng Hongyan understood this, and because she understood this very well, she asked Wu Haotian like this. Now that Wu Haotian answered her question, she still had a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Secretary Haotian. Since you respect Old Master Ji so much, then as Old Master Ji's guest, Xiao Liu, should he sit next to me? Let me tell you something, Xiao Liu's aunt, Gong Xue, is Old Master Ji's goddaughter, so I returned to Jingjiang at Gong Xue's request. No matter the result of the investigation on Xiao Liu, he returned to my side safely, so whether it's Old Master Ji or Gong Xue, I have an explanation. So, today, Secretary Haotian invited Lady Ji, and even the Ji family's relatives to sit at the head of the table, is that okay? "
As soon as Leng Hongyan's words fell, Yao Haidong let out a long sigh of relief, and Liu Lihai's awkwardness also lessened a lot. Only then did he realize that Leng Hongyan actually thought of everything, and was willing to do it for him. It was him who thought too much and was a little too selfish. Compared to Leng Hongyan's calmness, he was too unmanly.
Leng Hongyan's words saved Liu Lihai a lot of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, "Secretary Wu, it's better for you to sit at the head of the table. Everyone here today is my leader, and they are also older than me. I appreciate the minister's intention, and I will remember Gong Xue's aunt's help. My seat is below, and it suits me. Secretary Wu, please leave the task of pouring wine to me."
As Liu Lihai said this, Yao Haidong couldn't help but cast him a look of approval. Leng Hongyan did that to protect Liu Lihai, deliberately exposing the relationship between Gong Xue and Old Master Ji, so that the relationship between her and Liu Lihai would become a family relationship. Moreover, she said it so calmly that no one had any reason to think that it was a relationship between a man and a woman. And Liu Lihai not only accepted this kind of kinship, but also corrected his position, and was willing to pour wine for everyone, indicating that he didn't bear a grudge because of today's experience. It seemed that Liu Lihai still had a side to him, and because he had this side, Yao Haidong thought it was also the reason why Leng Hongyan was willing to fall in love with him.
As soon as Liu Lihai's words fell, Secretary Wu Haotian's eyes also turned to Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai's words could be considered to have found a way out for himself. If he really let Liu Lihai sit next to Leng Hongyan, not only would he feel uncomfortable, but also the men present would feel uncomfortable. No matter how calmly Leng Hongyan acted, the romantic affairs between her and Liu Lihai, in Jingjiang, especially the few core people present, everyone knew about it. Everyone looked at this pair of monsters and had to toast them. To be honest, Wu Haotian really couldn't accept it. He could persuade himself to apologize to the identity of Lady Ji and personally accompany her to dinner, but he couldn't let himself toast such a pair of monsters. Moreover, this young man almost became the son-in-law of Meng Anda. If they hadn't used tricks, his current identity would be the son-in-law of Meng Anda.
"Xiao Liu is the youngest here. As a young man, you should do more." Secretary Wu Haotian's meaning couldn't be clearer. Liu Lihai then said, "Thank you for your guidance, Secretary Wu. I will redouble my efforts."
At this point, Leng Hongyan didn't really let Liu Lihai sit next to her. If he really sat next to her, this young man would also feel uncomfortable. He wasn't as infatuated as her and didn't want to risk everything. His feelings for her were more of a mixture of gratitude and need. This kind of mixture was different from true love. Besides, how many men could be like a woman who would do anything for love?
Leng Hongyan then continued Liu Lihai's words and said, "Xiao Liu is much more mature. As a young man, you should learn more and exercise more."
When Leng Hongyan said this, Wu Haotian knew that Leng Hongyan wanted to show off her power. Women, after all, just had a little temper. Just give in and it will be over. So he said with a smile, "Then I'll sit next to Lady Ji. Moreover, Lady Ji is getting more and more beautiful and younger. Let me also touch the fairy aura. How can I be as immortal as Lady Ji?"
Wu Haotian was good at praising people. Of course, as Secretary Wu Haotian, what words couldn't he say? This was an eye-opener for Yao Haidong. However, Liu Lihai's expression at this time was also in a learning state. It seemed that he also understood Secretary Wu Haotian's skills.
After Wu Haotian sat down, Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Tao also sat on the left of Leng Hongyan, followed by Yao Haidong, Hu Guoan, Zhu Dejiang, and Liu Lihai. Wu Haotian asked him to pour wine for everyone. The wine was naturally the Maotai left over from the lunch with Governor Li Gaocheng. Liu Lihai took the wine and poured it for Leng Hongyan first. Leng Hongyan originally wanted to decline, but seeing that Liu Lihai had already taken her wine glass, he thought about rejecting Liu Lihai on the first glass, which made him feel extremely embarrassed and embarrassed. So he swallowed what he wanted to say.
Yao Haidong had been paying attention to Leng Hongyan's appearance. Of course, he was also paying attention to Wu Haotian's appearance. Yao Haidong knew that the people at the table were divided into two groups. Although everyone looked harmonious on the surface, deep down, it was very clear that they had already returned to their respective groups. It was clear who was on whose side.
