Very Secretary

Chapter 9: Banquet

  Volume 1 Chapter 9 Banquet

  In March 2003, the epidemic broke out on a large scale. Lu Jianhong, who was busy working in the industrial concentration area, also stopped what she was doing to participate in the war against the epidemic. According to the requirements of the county party committee and the county government, each township established a leading group for epidemic prevention and control with the secretary as the team leader, and each station and village as members, mainly with two tasks. One is to keep a good check and do a good job in the medical examination of the returnees. Another task is to send suspected patients to the county hospital for isolation and treatment in a timely manner. Dongyang Township is located in a remote location with very few floating population. It is now March, and it is not the time for migrant workers to return to their hometowns, so the impact of the revolution is not great. However, the Dongyang Township Party Committee and Government still dare not take it lightly. This is a political issue. There is no room for mistakes in the task, so the whole town is facing a big enemy. Lu Jianhong's team was a mobile team, and since there were no suspected cases for the time being, he was also happy to relax. This afternoon, he suddenly received a call from a strange woman, whose voice sounded familiar, and who claimed to be An Ran. Lu Jianhong was puzzled. He didn't remember a friend named An. An Ran said on the phone: "Do you still remember the night in October last year, when you helped me out of the siege of Pengci?" Lu Jianhong remembered what happened that night, and only then did he know who the other party was, and the name was so poetic. An Ran continued: "It's been so long since this happened, I've always wanted to express my gratitude, how about giving me a chance?"

  Listening to An Ran's unrestrained tone, Lu Jianhong also joked: "I don't know how Miss An plans to thank me."

   "We met in Junyue, so please come to Junyue for dinner. I'll pick you up at seven o'clock." Before Lu Jianhong could agree, An Ran had already hung up the phone. Lu Jianhong looked at the phone and shook his head.

   At 6:30 in the evening, the party and government office called and asked Lu Jianhong to go to the secretary's office immediately. Lu Jianhong was upset, and didn't know what was going on at this moment. Riding a motorcycle to the township government, I saw a red Ferrari sports car parked in the yard. Parking the motorcycle farther away, Lu Jianhong walked quickly to the secretary's office. When they arrived at the door, it was closed. Lu Jianhong knocked on the door. It was Secretary Jiang himself who opened the door. There was a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa inside, which was An Ran.

  Jiang Changsheng's tone was unprecedentedly kind: "Xiao Lu is here, come in and sit."

  Lu Jianhong smiled at An Ran. An Ran was wearing a light yellow coat with a white tight-fitting t-shirt underneath, showing the towering chest at a glance. Lu Jianhong's eyes flashed past her chest, and she sat down on the wooden chair by the wall. Jiang Changsheng said: "Director An has already told you about your matter just now, Xiao Lu, you have done something of great significance to Hongshan County."

  Lu Jianhong was confused, and it was just a simple rescue. How did he rise to such a high level?

  Jiang Changsheng went on to say: "Director An came to Dongyang for inspection regardless of **. On behalf of the two teams of the Dongyang Party Committee and government, I would like to thank Director An. Please honor Director An tonight, and let us do our best as landlords."

  An Ran smiled like medicine: "Secretary Jiang is too polite. I came to Dongyang for inspection secondly, mainly to express my gratitude to Lu Jianhong. So I appreciate Secretary Jiang's kindness."

Jiang Changsheng said with a chuckle: "Director An is too far-fetched. Although Dongyang's economy is not good, nobles like Director An can't even invite them. If Director An just leaves like this, I'll go to Gui County Magistrate. I can't make the job either." Jiang Changsheng winked at Lu Jianhong as he spoke.

  Lu Jianhong and Huang Fulin met An Ran once when they went to the county for a meeting. County Magistrate Gui's attitude towards her was still fresh in his memory. Huang Fulin mentioned to him that An Wei had doubts about the investment environment in Hongshan County, and the investment matters were delayed again and again before being decided. If Jiang Changsheng can make An Ran make an investment decision, it will be regarded as a great contribution, and it will play an immeasurable role in promoting future promotion.

  Lu Jianhong understood Jiang Changsheng's thoughts very well, and said, "Director An, you have to eat wherever you go. Since you're here, don't push it any further. We Dongyang people are very hospitable."

  An Ran looked at Lu Jianhong brilliantly and said, "It would be too ignorant for me to decline again, Secretary Jiang, it should be simpler and not too extravagant."

  Jiang Changsheng's face blossomed.

   This dinner was placed in the guest house of the township government, and it was organized according to Dongyang's highest standards. Since the members of the two teams have missions, only the township head Huang Fulin and Sun Li participated in the accompanying wine. Lu Jianhong originally wanted to leave, but Jiang Changsheng said, "Xiao Lu, you also participate."

   Soon the food and drink were served, An Ran said: "I don't know how to drink."

   "Bring some bottles of red wine here, from Changyu." After Jiang Changsheng ordered the waiter, he said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is the township chief Huang Fulin, and this is Sun Li and Sun Zhengke."

The two greeted An Ran politely. At this time, the waiter filled An Ran's glass with the opened red wine. Jiang Changsheng raised his glass and said, "Director An, you are a guest from Hongshan County, and even more so from Dongyang. Let's drink together."

The atmosphere of the meal was good. Jiang Changsheng spared no effort to introduce the county's preferential policies for attracting investment and Dongyang's superior conditions. Anran laughed but didn't answer, just listened without saying a word. Jiang Changsheng didn't expect Anran to make a decision so easily. Investment decision, so after talking about some investment matters, concentrate on drinking. For a time, cups and cups were raised. What An Ran drank was red wine. After one round, the four big cups went down. She was obviously overwhelmed and her face was red, so Lu Jianhong didn't toast to her. Seeing Lu Jianhong standing still, Jiang Changsheng's eyes twitched, and he nodded, "Xiao Lu, you and An Dong have known each other for a long time, why don't you show it?"

Lu Jianhong put her hand on the glass, looking at An Ran's face that was redder than red wine, she felt very embarrassed, but An Ran took the initiative to raise her glass and said to Sun Li: "Sun Zhengke, I toast you. "

  Sun Li has never drunk, so she did not clink glasses with An Ran. When Lu Jianhong toasted her, she deliberately embarrassed him and didn't even touch the cups. Lu Jianhong drank four small glasses of white wine in embarrassment. At Jiang Changsheng's hint, Sun Li reluctantly took the teacups. Seeing this scene in An Ran's eyes, she felt a little unhappy, drank the red wine in the goblet in one gulp, turned the empty glass over and said, "Sun Zhengke, I'll do it first as a respect."

  Sun Li blushed a little, got up and said: "An Dong, I am not in good health. The doctor has repeatedly told me not to drink alcohol. You are really embarrassing me."

  Huang Fulin sullenly did not speak, and looked at Sun Li with some mockery. Jiang Changsheng said unhappily: "Sun Zhengke, Director An is a guest, how can you let her toast you with wine? Punish yourself with three cups."

  Sun Li's drinking capacity is actually pretty good, it's not a problem, that's why Jiang Changsheng said that. It's just that she might be really sick, so she hesitated for a moment and said something very ugly: "Xiao Lu, you brought my wine."

  She didn't know that An Ran was here for Lu Jianhong, and it was for Lu Jianhong that he drank this glass of wine with her. Jiang Changsheng couldn't hold back his face anymore, but he didn't want to get angry, and said: "Sun Zhengke's heart is a little bad, An Dong, how about this, I brought this glass of wine, it's an apology to you."

  An Ran smiled and said: "Whatever Secretary Jiang said, since he is not in good health, forget it."

  Lu Jianhong stood up at the right time and said, "An Dong, Xiao Lu respects you."

  An Ran giggled and said, "Don't respect me, it's for nothing if you drink it."

  After hearing An Ran's insinuations, Sun Li couldn't sit still, and Jiang Changsheng gave her a hard look.

  Lu Jianhong filled the small jug in front of her with wine, tilted her neck dry, and said, "Director An, you can do whatever you want."

  An Ran was quite surprised to see Lu Jianhong drank nearly two taels of wine in one gulp. At this moment, Lu Jianhong filled himself another pot and said, "Director An, good things come in pairs."

  Lu Jianhong drank two pots lightly, then sat down, blushing slightly, and stopped talking.

   "I won't owe you the wine." An Ran smiled, glanced at Sun Li, and drank the red wine in the glass, her complexion became more rosy, and said: "Secretary Jiang, thank you for your hospitality."

  As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Changsheng knew that it was time to end, and said: "There is hospitality, it's not about hospitality, it's just a light meal. I hope Director An will come to visit often in the future."
