"That's right. My brother-in-law will be accompanied by an important guest. As his secretary, I must be good at everything." Lu Wei continued Leng Hongyan's words and suddenly said. Liu Lihai, Yao Haidong, Zhu Dejiang, and Ma Jinxiu were all stunned by her words. They all looked at Lu Wei. She knew that she had said something wrong, but she didn't want to take it back. She continued, "Why are you all looking at me? Ask my brother-in-law."
Old Master Ji was very calm. Obviously, Secretary Guo Baoxin had talked to him. Leng Hongyan didn't mention Lu Wei's words. Liu Lihai had already stood up. Guo Baoxin looked at him with a smile and said, "Xiao Wei is right. We are not strangers. Let's let Xiao Liu pour the wine." However, Secretary Guo Baoxin didn't admit that Liu Lihai would be his secretary, which made Leng Hongyan nervous. He couldn't help looking at Yao Haidong. Liu Lihai also saw her expression, and his heart was in turmoil. Was the situation going to change? But he still tried hard to calm himself down. He stood up and poured wine for Mrs. Guo, which surprised Old Master Ji and Guo Baoxin. Liu Lihai said while pouring wine, "Women are the greatest tonight, so we will start with women."
As soon as Liu Lihai finished speaking, Lu Wei took the lead in laughing. She said while laughing, "Xiao Liu, you want to be a wife, don't you? Sister, don't be fooled by this guy. He has a sweet mouth. "
Mrs. Guo said while laughing, "Xiao Liu is right. Hongyan is going to marry into our family tonight. We women are all Hongyan's family. So, let's pour the wine for women first. Let's first bless Hongyan and then bless Old Master Ji."
Du Zifan first poured the wine for the women. Under Madam Guo's suggestion, the women toasted to Leng Hongyan first. She blushed from the toasts. She stood up and returned the toasts, saying, "I will definitely drink the wine of my sisters. I will definitely drink it."
The women were the first to drink, and the atmosphere of the banquet was immediately livened up. Liu Lihai followed Old Master Ji and the Great Secretary and poured wine all the way. Lu Wei, who might have been secretly influenced by Leng Hongyan, actually flattered Liu Lihai. She called him handsome, then called him Xiao Liu. She ordered him to do this and that, trying to make him perform in front of Guo Baoxin as much as possible. She did not give Ma Jinxiu any chance to perform at all.
But Ma Jinxiu was obviously not willing to just sit there. After the first round of toasts, she took the initiative to stand up and walked to Old Master Ji first. She looked at Old Master Ji and said, "Brother-in-law, I have to call you that too. Sister Leng and I have been sisters for many years. Here's to you both to a ripe old age. "With that, she drank the wine first.
Old Master Ji only noticed Ma Jinxiu now. He was about to praise her, but Lu Wei interrupted, saying, "Brother-in-law, why don't you have a toast with me? I didn't see the two of you do it at noon, so I want to see it now. "
"Xiao Wei," Mrs. Guo called Lu Wei again. Leng Hongyan was very cooperative with Lu Wei. He walked over and said, "Brother Yunhe, come, let's drink. Xiao Wei, learn to get married as soon as possible. " After all this commotion, and since Ma Jinxiu had nothing to do with it, he could only stand to the side and watch Old Master Ji and Leng Hongyan have a toast with each other.
When the toast was crossed, Liu Lihai didn't know if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He felt Leng Hongyan look at him, but when he wanted to catch a glimpse of that look, it disappeared. His heart wavered again. What was the point of this scene?
Fortunately, everyone was watching the toast and laughing. No one noticed the small change in Liu Lihai's expression, which made him feel relieved. When Old Master Ji and Leng Hongyan finished their toast, Ma Jinxiu wanted to toast Guo Baoxin and Mrs. Guo, but Lu Wei said, "Xiao Liu, my brother-in-law and sister have run out of wine. Why are you still coming over to pour wine for them?"
Ma Jinxiu had to return to his seat and watch Liu Lihai pour wine for Old Master Ji and Leng Hongyan. When he was pouring wine for Leng Hongyan, he felt Leng Hongyan step on his foot. He didn't know what it meant. He wanted to look at Leng Hongyan, but he didn't dare to.
At this time, Leng Hongyan said, "Xiao Liu, you are very obedient to Xiao Wei. After being trained by this lady boss, you are becoming more and more skilled at serving tea." As he said this, Leng Hongyan glanced at Mrs. Guo Baoxin intentionally. Mrs. Guo also saw that Leng Hongyan was looking at her. Moreover, Lu Wei was praising this young man so that she could say something for him.
Mrs. Guo said, "This sister of mine is not afraid of anything. However, Xiao Liu is indeed a good and obedient child. If Xiao Wei bullies him again, tell me and I will teach him a lesson. "
"Sis, is there anyone who would side with an outsider like you?" Lu Wei said coquettishly. Then she looked at Guo Baoxin and said, "Brother-in-law, when Xiao Liu becomes your secretary, I will instruct him to work hard."
"Xiao Wei, you are not serious every day. Don't you have enough people to instruct? Xiao Wan's legs are almost broken because of you. Why don't you learn more from Lady Ji? "
Guo Baoxin still did not clarify his attitude towards Liu Lihai. Instead, he turned the topic to Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan smiled and said, "Big Secretary, I feel that we women talk a lot tonight. You men talk a lot. Come, let me lead my family to propose a toast to Big Secretary. " As he said this, he stood up and gestured for Yao Haidong and the others to propose a toast to Guo Baoxin. Guo Baoxin looked at Old Master Ji with a bitter smile and said, "Old Master, Lady Ji is really amazing. I was praising her, but I made a mistake. Look, it's still a bunch of my family members who propose a toast to me. If there is a toast, it should be to Old Master Ji. Today is your big day. "
"If Brother Yunhe drinks too much, won't I lose a joyous occasion? So, this toast can only be drunk by Big Secretary. " Leng Hongyan spoke on behalf of Old Master Ji. Guo Baoxin laughed and said, "Hongyan's mouth is really amazing. Alright, I'll drink. I don't want to disturb your wedding night tonight."
Old Master Ji heard Guo Baoxin's laughter and laughed along. Mrs. Guo said, "Do you want to have a wedding night too?"
"I don't dare. I have my wife. It's enough. " Guo Baoxin's attitude surprised Ma Jinxiu. He did not expect the dignified Provincial Party Secretary to speak like a commoner. They were also happy about the fun of commoners. She had the urge to propose a toast to the couple again. But just as she stood up, Lu Wei said, "Mayor County Ma, come, let's have a drink."
Ma Jinxiu had to smile and clinked glasses with Lu Wei. At this time, Old Master Ji and Guo Baoxin were talking with their heads down. Leng Hongyan went over and clinked glasses with Mrs. Guo. It was the end of the banquet.
After Leng Hongyan returned to her seat, Mrs. Guo tugged at the corner of Guo Baoxin's clothes and said, "Old Guo, you drank a lot too. You should rest early tonight. They still have to have a wedding night. This night is worth a thousand gold."
"Sister is considerate, Sister Leng. Come on, let's toast to the newlyweds and send them to the bridal room." Lu Wei made a scene again.
Guo Baoxin smiled and said, "Xiao Wei, you are so noisy." Then he looked at Yao Haidong and said, "Haidong, we can talk about work when we go back to Jingjiang. Mrs. Guo is here. She doesn't like me to talk about work. " It seemed that she was explaining something, but also seemed to be responding to the result that Leng Hongyan wanted to know, which made Leng Hongyan feel relieved. In fact, she proposed a toast to Mrs. Guo not to end the banquet, but to fight for something for Liu Lihai. But when she approached Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo said that she wanted to go back and rest, saying that she was tired. Leng Hongyan couldn't ask Liu Lihai to come over and propose a toast again. Besides, Lu Wei tried her best to suppress Ma Jinxiu and forbade her from approaching Guo Baoxin, so she had to end the banquet early.
The banquet ended just like that. Ma Jinxiu didn't even have a chance to propose a toast to Guo Baoxin and his wife. She was so depressed, but with Lu Wei there, she knew that she couldn't do anything.
Liu Lihai didn't get the exact news, so he didn't know what Secretary Guo Baoxin was planning. At this time, Mrs. Guo proposed to end the banquet, which caught him off guard. But Yao Haidong seemed to understand something. He happily led everyone to have a reunion drink, and then the banquet ended.
At the end, Mrs. Guo said goodbye first, and everyone went to the door to see Guo Baoxin and his family off. Lu Wei whispered to Liu Lihai, "Handsome, I gave you a chance to perform today. You have to do well." After that, she walked quickly to catch up with Guo Baoxin and his wife.
Liu Lihai stared at Lu Wei's back. Suddenly, Leng Hongyan stood beside him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at Sister Xiao Wei," Liu Lihai answered.
"Your affairs should be settled by now. But I feel that Old Master Ji may leave me in Beijing. " Leng Hongyan's voice was also very low, but Liu Lihai still heard it clearly. Yao Haidong also saw Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai talking, but he had been talking with Old Master Ji, deliberately letting Leng Hongyan finish what she wanted to say.
Zhu Dejiang and Ma Jinxiu didn't talk much at night. On such an occasion, Zhu Dejiang didn't dare to say anything. It was a great luck for him to be able to attend. As soon as Ma Jinxiu saw that Secretary Guo Baoxin had left, he suddenly felt like a frosted eggplant. He couldn't lift his spirits at all, and only wanted to go back to the hotel.
"Sister Leng, we're leaving too. You still have to do that, that wedding night." Ma Jinxiu smiled and said goodbye, which made Yao Haidong very dissatisfied. He was talking enthusiastically with Old Master Ji. Old Master Ji said that in the afternoon, he talked with Guo Baoxin about some problems in Jiangnan, and he did ask him about Liu Lihai taking over Wan Shengli. This time, he didn't let Wan Shengli follow him to Beijing, and he really wanted to test Liu Lihai's ability in social intercourse. Probably because Lu Wei was present, Liu Lihai did a good job, at least in the eyes of the old master, who also observed Liu Lihai at night. However, Old Master Ji also said that he was getting old, and hoped that Leng Hongyan could accompany him more. His words implied that he didn't allow Leng Hongyan to participate in politics anymore. This was out of Yao Haidong's expectation. However, now that Leng Hongyan was a wife, of course, her husband was the leader.
"Old Master Ji, the minister said that the company in Lin County will be managed by Xiao Wei, and she will definitely accompany you wholeheartedly." Yao Haidong hurried to comfort the old father and son.
"She is very ambitious. But Baoxin will listen to me. It's not a good thing for a woman to be too involved in politics. "Old Master Ji showed his trump card.
Leng Hongyan heard this, and so did Liu Lihai. He believed that Ma Jinxiu also heard it, because she didn't ask to leave anymore.
Liu Lihai looked at Leng Hongyan, but there was no expression on her face, and there was no anger and frustration as Liu Lihai thought.
