Zhang Wei's cousin was called Zhao Chun. She was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had shoulder-length burgundy hair, an outstanding figure, and a pretty face. Her eyes weren't very big, but they were quite long and narrow. She was very delicate and had a seductive effect. She also dressed very fashionably, especially her long and slender legs that were wrapped in jeans. They were even more charming.
Zhang Wei immediately explained the reason why he brought Zhao Chun to the banquet. He wanted her to accompany Li Rui. Song Chaoyang and Fang Qingyun laughed when they heard that. They didn't say anything else.
After Zhang Wei introduced Zhao Chun and Li Rui to each other, he arranged for her to sit next to Li Rui. Zhao Chun was very generous. She sat next to him with a smile. She didn't seem shy at all. She looked like a woman who had seen many things.
There were only five people in the private room. Even the waiters weren't there.
After the banquet started, everyone drank a mouthful of wine together, and then began to fight. You toast to me, I toast to him. Toasts were exchanged, toasts were exchanged, and it was quite lively.
Zhao Chun was drinking beer. She first proposed a toast to Li Rui, and in the time that followed, she would refill his drink and pick up his food. From time to time, she would whisper a few words to him, looking cute, witty, lively, and charming. Even though Li Rui had seen countless beauties, he was still quickly caught in the net of charm that she silently exuded when he admired her beauty and her gentle laughter.
However, Li Rui still remembered his duty. He first served Song Chaoyang, Fang Qingyun, and Zhang Wei, the three leaders and elder sisters a few times. It was nothing more than pouring wine, pouring tea, and persuading them to eat. When they began to talk about things and slowed down the drinking speed, he turned around and carefully treated Zhao Chunxin.
From their conversation, he learned that Zhao Chun was married and didn't have any children. She was currently working in the Shuanghe County government office as an ordinary clerk. She was usually very busy and often had to work overtime on weekends. Zhao Chun also asked about his family and work situation, and Li Rui answered truthfully.
After the two drank a glass of wine, Zhao Chun said eagerly, "Brother Xiao Rui, can you give me your contact number? Let's keep in touch in the future."
Li Rui didn't know what she meant. Did she simply want to make friends with him? Did she want to get closer to him? Or did she want to develop a relationship with him like her cousin, Zhang Wei, and Song Chaoyang? But this wasn't a problem. He would find out when they got to know each other in the future. So, he gave her his phone number.
After Zhao Chun recorded the number on her phone, she called him back. The two of them had exchanged contact information.
When Li Rui raised his head again, he found that the private room had become very quiet. Only the voices of the boss, Song Chaoyang, and Fang Qingyun could be heard. Zhang Wei was also listening carefully. He knew that the two leaders were talking about business, so he didn't dare to joke and listened attentively.
Fang Qingyun was explaining, "… Not far from the Fairy Cave scenic area, there is a place called 'Qidu'. It means that the Fairy River that flows down from the Fairy Cave forms the seventh crossing when it flows there. At the location of Qidu, the Jingnan Railway Branch built a cadre training center. Nominally, it's a cadre training center, but in fact, it's a hotel and entertainment center for the leaders of the railway bureau. Because it's nominally a cadre training center, it doesn't have a rating. But it's said that it can reach the four-star standard. It's the best clubhouse near the Fairy Cave scenic area. If the VIP meeting is held there, it's not a problem at all. "
After he finished speaking, he took his briefcase from the seat next to him and took out a few photos. He handed them to Song Chaoyang and said, "Look, this is the indoor and outdoor environment of the cadre training center … Hey, this is the outdoor environment. The training center is built next to the Fairy River. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful beyond words. Look at the main entrance, the flower walls on both sides of the main entrance, and the small buildings inside. Tsk, tsk, don't look at them because they're not many or tall, but they're extremely high-end and elegant. Look, this is the indoor environment. This is the largest conference room inside. It's said that this conference room was built in 2003, but look at it now, don't you feel that it's outdated? Sigh, I have to say that Iron Tiger is really rich. A random railway branch can build such a luxurious training center. As a county magistrate, I'm so angry. Even our county government's guest house isn't as high-end as this. "
Song Chaoyang looked at the photos and nodded. After he finished looking at them, he asked, "Is he willing to lend us the venue for the VIP meeting?"
Fang Qingyun smiled and said, "Why wouldn't he be willing? Iron Tiger is awesome, but his training center is built on Qingyang City's territory, so he has to give us some face. Moreover, he knows how to conduct himself and has a good relationship with our Shuanghe County. We've been in contact with him for many years, and he's even helped our mountainous area with poverty alleviation. This is just a matter of greeting him. Other than the expenses for the meeting, we don't need to spend a single cent. "
Song Chaoyang was very happy and said, "Good, you've done a good job. You've made me feel confident. Because I know that even if there's no other venue to choose from, or if there's no time to build a new venue, at least I have this cadre training center to support me. Haha, good, that's great. Come, Qingyun, let me toast you. Thank you for helping me so efficiently. "He raised his glass.
Fang Qingyun also raised her glass and said seriously, "Hey, Chaoyang, what are you saying? If it weren't for your help, I, Fang Qingyun, would still be nothing. So it's natural for me to help you. No matter what, I have to get it done quickly and well. Besides, choosing the venue for the VIP meeting is a political task given by the Provincial Party Committee. How can we not do our best to get it done as soon as possible? You don't have to toast to me this time. Let's just drink. All our friendship is in the wine. "He raised his head and downed his glass.
Song Chaoyang laughed and didn't say anything else. He also raised his glass and downed it.
Zhang Wei saw that Li Rui wanted to get up and go over to fill his glass. She quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "Xiao Rui, today you just have to eat. Leave the small things like pouring wine to me. Let me have a chance to perform in front of the chief."
After she said this, she laughed and got up. She took the bottle and went back to Song Chaoyang's side. She purposely stuck close to him and poured him more wine.
Song Chaoyang saw this and laughed. He raised his hand to block the mouth of the wine glass. He looked up at her and said, "I can pour wine, but first I have to make it clear. Who's the chief here today? Since when can a mere Municipal Party Committee Secretary be called a chief? Xiao Wei, you have to explain it to me today. Otherwise, I'll blame you for mocking me. "
Zhang Wei looked at him and said coquettishly, "The Municipal Party Committee Secretary is such a high-ranking official, but he's not a chief? I don't care. Anyway, Brother Chaoyang, you're a chief in my heart. Is this explanation enough? Can you take your hand away? "
Song Chaoyang just shook his head with a smile.
Zhang Wei thought for a while and looked at Li Rui awkwardly. She said, "Xiao Rui, you're the smartest. Help me think of a way. Sigh, your boss is deliberately making things difficult for me. To think that I wholeheartedly treated him as a good brother. "
When Zhao Chun saw her cousin acting coquettishly in public, she was a little surprised and also a little amused. She looked at her with a smile. Because of the wine, her pretty face had a touch of red, and under the illumination of the light, she was tender and beautiful.
Li Rui reluctantly withdrew his gaze from her face and looked at Zhang Wei's charming face. He said with a smile, "Sister Xiao Wei, although you're the Municipal Party Committee Secretary now, you're hardworking, dedicated to the people, and have excellent results. Sooner or later, you'll be promoted to the province and become a real chief. I'm calling you chief now because I wish you a good promotion."
When he said this, Fang Qingyun and Song Chaoyang both laughed.
Fang Qingyun laughed and pointed at him. "Xiao Rui, let's not talk about your flattery skills. I admire your eloquence and unparalleled ability. I'll give you a toast later. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Li Rui smiled and raised his glass. "I don't dare. I'll give you a toast first, County Head Fang …"
Zhang Wei patted Song Chaoyang's hand that was blocking the wine glass and said angrily, "Did you hear that? Xiao Rui taught me to say that to you. Are you satisfied now?" Song Chaoyang looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiao Rui taught you to say that, but did you say it? You have to learn it at least once, right? "Zhang Wei was not vague, and she really did learn it once. Song Chaoyang put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Well, I've given you a chance to perform. How are you going to thank me?" Zhang Wei said coquettishly, "Aiyo, I'm kind enough to pour you a glass of wine. How do you want me to thank you? Why don't you give me a rule? Do you want me to devote myself to you or do you want me to be your slave? Just tell me. " Song Chaoyang smiled and grabbed her arm. He pressed her down on the chair and said, "There's no need for that. You just need to give me a toast."
Zhao Chun saw this and leaned over to Li Rui. She whispered to him, "Song Shuji looks very approachable." Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes. Actually, those who can sit here are not outsiders. You don't have to be polite with us." Zhao Chun nodded and whispered, "Well, you are all very nice people. I can tell that you are all good friends. I like all of you very much …"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Wei shouted at her and Li Rui, "Hey, you two little guys, why are you so close to each other?" Zhao Chun smiled and said, "Yes, I'm talking to Brother Xiao Rui. Why? Can't I?" Zhang Wei giggled and said, "Oh? What kind of intimate words are you talking about? Do you dare to tell me? "Zhao Chun laughed and said," Why should I tell you? What if you go back and tell my husband? "
Everyone roared with laughter. Of course, everyone knew that Zhao Chun was joking. She and Li Rui had only known each other for half an hour. Even if they liked each other, it was impossible for them to have an ambiguous relationship so quickly. She also did not need to worry about her husband finding out that she was just teasing her cousin, Zhang Wei.
