Just when Liu Lihai was a little embarrassed by Lin Nuo's gaze, his cell phone rang. For Liu Lihai, the ringing of the cell phone made him feel as if he had been saved. He was still afraid of Lin Nuo's feelings. When a woman's feelings really hit him, it was too strong and too intimate for a man, which was a kind of unspeakable pressure.
What Liu Lihai needed now was work, and he needed to forget himself. Except for Sun Xiaomu, he really didn't have an impulse for other women. He didn't know why he suddenly became so single-minded. Lin Nuo was so cute, she was beautiful, and she treated him very well. But other than feeling pressure, why didn't he have the impulse and desire to see Lin Nuo's naked body? Was he really ruined by the complexity of Lin County?
The phone was called by Qi Qiang. Qi Qiang said, "Minister Liu, can I treat you to a meal?
When Liu Lihai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. What did Qi Qiang mean by inviting him to dinner at this time? And should he go to Qi Qiang's dinner?
Liu Lihai was really in a dilemma for a moment. After thinking for a few times, he still said, "I'll go back to the room and call you back later."
"Okay." After Qi Qiang answered, Liu Lihai hung up the phone and slowly returned to the ward with Lin Nuo. However, after returning, Liu Lihai still couldn't make up his mind. Because it was completely because of Sun Xiaomu that he could become the head of the Publicity Department of Lin County, not because Shi Zhilin appreciated him. Moreover, his relationship with Shi Zhilin was not close at all. In fact, there were several times when he wanted to find Shi Zhilin to show his loyalty to him, but Shi Zhilin was always indifferent to him, which made him very depressed. Now that Shi Zhilin had become like this, Liu Lihai didn't know how to face Shi Zhilin's ending. Although Shi Zhilin had done something to him when he was supposed to be the Head of Publicity, making him lose face and suffer a setback. However, in the end, Shi Zhilin still made some concessions, and Liu Lihai took over the position of the director of the Publicity Department of Lin County. In this case, Shi Zhilin still gave him a chance to be promoted. But now, many officials in Lin County were trying their best to draw a line that they had nothing to do with Shi Zhilin. Liu Lihai didn't want this to happen. In the officialdom, this kind of phenomenon was prominent.
Shi Zhilin was only in his forties. When Liu Lihai thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Shi Zhilin's sudden suicide, although his life was saved, his political future was gone. His downfall came much faster and much earlier than Liu Lihai had imagined.
Thinking of this, Liu Lihai still called Qi Qiang. As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Lihai said, "Director Qi, where is the dinner?"
Qi Qiang quickly said, "Listen to Minister Liu."
"Then let's go to the Green Meadow Farm Villa outside the city. It's very quiet there," Liu Lihai replied.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," Qi Qiang said.
"I don't want too many people. After all, I'm still recuperating." After Liu Lihai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The Green Meadow was in the suburbs outside the county. However, because the layout of the mountain was mainly green, it was a small courtyard. The courtyard was mainly made up of bungalows, which was a bit like the simple design style of the courtyard of a big family during the Republic of China period. Moreover, the porch pillars and red paintings were mainly green. That was probably how the name Green Meadow came about.
Qi Qiang drove Liu Lihai to the place. After Qi Qiang parked the car, Liu Lihai said to Qi Qiang, "Ask the waiter to arrange a quiet place."
Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he glanced at Liu Lihai, nodded, turned around and left.
As soon as Qi Qiang left, Song Hancheng walked over with Lu Xiaoyang. Liu Lihai instinctively wanted to dodge, but he was stopped by Lu Xiaoyang. He was a little distance away, so he said, "Isn't that the young and promising Minister Liu?"
Liu Lihai hesitated for a moment, but he still greeted them with a smile and said, "What brings you to Lin County?"
At this time, Lu Xiaoyang walked in the direction of Liu Lihai with firm steps. He had received a call from Secretary Wu Haotian in the afternoon, asking him to show him the state of Lin County. When he heard the secretary's attitude, his mood naturally became much better, and he didn't have to be so nervous to investigate this and that. Secretary Wu Haotian's call showed his attitude, which naturally made Lu Xiaoyang feel a lot more at ease. Therefore, when Song Hancheng said that this place was for a meal, he couldn't have asked for more.
Song Hancheng didn't expect to meet Liu Lihai here, but he still smiled and said hello to Liu Lihai. At this time, Qi Qiang came over. When he saw Lu Xiaoyang and Song Hancheng, he quickly said enthusiastically, "The secretary and Director Song are also here. If there is no one else, why don't we get together?"
As soon as Qi Qiang's words fell, Song Hancheng looked at Lu Xiaoyang, but Lu Xiaoyang looked at Liu Lihai at this time. Liu Lihai said, "If it's convenient for the secretary and Director Song, I don't mind. It's not easy for us to meet, so it's fate. What do you think? "Liu Lihai gave the initiative to Lu Xiaoyang and Song Hancheng.
"Since Minister Liu has spoken, if I refuse, it will show that I, the secretary of the leader, is not appreciated, right?" Lu Xiaoyang's words made Liu Lihai a little angry, but he had been suppressing his anger. He still kept a smile on his face and asked Qi Qiang to arrange it quickly.
Qi Qiang rearranged the seat to the middle of the bungalow at the west end of the green lawn. Song Hancheng led Lu Xiaoyang to sit in the front, and Liu Lihai followed behind. They entered the private room together. The decoration of the room was very simple and elegant. All the furniture was antique, and the walls were full of calligraphy and paintings of famous people. Although they were fakes, it could be seen that they were quite good. Thinking of the seclusion and remoteness of this place, Liu Lihai suddenly became happy, but he still smiled secretly. It seemed that the boss of this place might be a wonderful person who flaunted elegance.
Ten minutes later, Qi Qiang came in and said, "The deputy mayor of the city, Liu Jiancheng, and his secretary, Shui Qingping, are here, accompanied by the director of the Construction Bureau, Niu Yanliang."
As soon as Qi Qiang's words fell, Liu Lihai thought about it. What a coincidence today. As soon as he went out, he unexpectedly met so many coincidences. Now, although Liu Jiancheng deliberately did not let Shui Qingping call Lin County in advance to show his easy-going side, Liu Lihai was thoughtful and suggested that everyone welcome Mayor Liu together.
Everyone went to the front yard together. Niu Yanliang and Liu Jiancheng were walking together. At this time, when Liu Jiancheng saw so many people coming to welcome them, he did not put on airs. He smiled warmly and said, "What a coincidence today. Everyone met together. It's rare, it's rare."
Liu Lihai and Song Hancheng approached Liu Jiancheng together. When they were about to speak, Liu Jiancheng took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with everyone present. "Sorry for the trouble. We came here abruptly. We didn't delay your work, did we?"
At this time, Liu Lihai and Song Hancheng hurriedly said, "Mayor Liu came to Lin County to guide our work, and it is also Lin County's honor. Mayor Liu is too polite. "
On the way, Niu Yanliang was worried that Liu Jiancheng would be indifferent to the officials of Lin County. He did not expect Liu Jiancheng to be so enthusiastic as soon as they met, as if he was reuniting with an old friend. At this time, Niu Yanliang looked at Liu Jiancheng and said, "Mayor Liu, since everyone is so happy, why don't we sit at a table together?"
"Okay. I have no objection. "Liu Jiancheng replied with a smile. Just like this, the three groups of people were forcibly gathered at a table. Liu Jiancheng walked in front, and the others followed him in order and entered the private room one by one.
After sitting down, the dishes were quickly served. Liu Jiancheng unexpectedly turned from guest to host. He raised his glass and said, "Let me first offer a toast to everyone." As he said this, Liu Jiancheng actually drank the glass. Although it was a small glass, it was still very strange for Liu Lihai. What was wrong with Liu Jiancheng today? Although Liu Lihai was not very familiar with this first-ranked deputy mayor, he still had dealings with him. He was usually a very serious person. Why did he suddenly come to Lin County at this time and suddenly become so enthusiastic? This abnormal behavior made Liu Lihai very surprised.
After the first glass of wine was drunk, everyone began to eat. Because Liu Jiancheng was the mayor in charge of city construction, he was Niu Yanliang's counterpart, and he was also the one who brought the people, he began to take the lead in toasting Liu Jiancheng. Liu Jiancheng was also straightforward and drank it in one gulp. Then, everyone took turns toasting Liu Jiancheng, and he did not refuse. When it was Liu Lihai's turn to toast, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pour the wine, but was stopped by Shui Qingping. Shui Qingping gently pressed on Liu Lihai's wine pot with one hand, and with a faint smile on his face, he said in a condescending tone, "I'll do it. You sit." Shui Qingping's thought-provoking attitude made Liu Lihai's heart move. Could it be that Liu Jiancheng's secretary had a problem with him? Liu Lihai did not understand. After thinking about it, he did not think that there was no conflict between them, and it was the first time they met.
Then, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Everyone had their own unique habits. Maybe Mayor Liu did not drink wine poured by others. He sat back in his seat and nodded with a smile. He could obviously see the disdain in Shui Qingping's eyes.
Liu Jiancheng pretended not to see what had just happened, and deliberately talked about some unimportant topics with Song Hancheng and Niu Yanliang. Everyone else at the table answered their questions. After all, Liu Jiancheng was the highest official at the table, and it was a special period in Lin County, so everyone was a little cautious with their words. Qi Qiang, other than telling everyone to eat and drink well, and doing his job as a waiter, did not dare to say anything more. Of course, Lu Xiaoyang did not say much, but his face was still very calm.
Liu Lihai somewhat understood. Qi Qiang wanted to eat alone with him, but he also wanted to eat with Song Hancheng and Lu Xiaoyang. Was he using him to get close to them? Or was it someone among them who had arranged this beforehand?
Liu Lihai did not understand what this meal was like.
