Wan Kaijie was the first to object, "Huaying, Zhiyuan, I don't agree with this. How can you treat me when you arrive in Yanjing? I am the landlord, so I have to make arrangements tonight."

"Mr. Wan, it's not easy for Mr. Jin and I to go to Beijing. You have to give us this opportunity no matter what. You are in Yanjing, and it is much more convenient than us to meet the director." Lin Zhiyuan immediately started arguing with him.

"Lao Wan, please stop fighting with us. We are two people, two to one. If you vote, you will lose."

Of course Wan Kaijie was just being polite. At their level, it was not the same for everyone, as long as the new director was satisfied.

However, Bai Mingde did not agree immediately, but asked, "Where can I eat?"

Lin Zhiyuan immediately replied: "Director, we have decided to order Tan's cuisine at Yanjing Hotel."

Tan's cuisine is the pinnacle of Yanjing's official cuisine. It was the first time I invited Bai Mingde to dinner, so I had to choose the best place like this.

Bai Mingde was relatively satisfied, but he still shook his head, "Huaying, Zhiyuan, I appreciate your kindness, but I just took office a few days ago, and places like the Yanjing Hotel are crowded with people, so I might as well forget it."

Jin Huaying immediately replied: "Director, if you find it inconvenient to go to the Yanjing Hotel, then go to the Lesteel Office in Beijing. I have invited a Sichuan chef. We are a family. Let's have some wine behind closed doors. Let’s chat.”

"Okay, you can go to the office in Beijing." Bai Mingde agreed to this alternative. Places like the Beijing Office are relatively private, so you don't have to worry about meeting acquaintances.

This made Lin Zhiyuan learn another trick. When dealing with these leaders in the future, you must be prepared.

At six o'clock in the evening, the private room of the restaurant run by Le Gang in Beijing.

Bai Mingde, Lin Zhiyuan, Jin Huaying, and Wan Kaijie were seated safely, while a carefully selected, young and beautiful waitress was responsible for serving the dishes.

As the spicy and fragrant Sichuan dishes were served one after another, Bai Mingde's eyes lit up, "Hua Ying, Zhiyuan, you are serious. You don't need to eat this dish. Just smell it and you will know it is authentic."

"Director Bai, we, Mr. Jin, know that you are from Sichuan Province and have specially invited a Sichuan special chef. You can taste it later and see how it is." Lin Zhiyuan lost no time in assisting Jin Huaying.

Bai Mingde looked at the fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled pork slices, dengying beef, and Mapo tofu on the table and kept nodding, "Sichuan cuisine is mainly home-cooked. We are here today as a family, so eating this is the most suitable for the occasion."

Considering that today’s meal is Sichuan cuisine, the restaurant prepares Wuliangye.

After everyone poured their glasses, Jin Huaying took the initiative to raise their glasses, "Director Bai, on behalf of all the cadres and workers of Lesteel Steel, I congratulate you on your promotion. Under your leadership, I believe that all steel companies across the country will achieve greater development. With this glass of wine, I Regards."

Bai Mingde laughed and said, "Thank you Hua Ying for your kindness. Let's all have a drink together! Let me declare in advance that no one is allowed to drink wine from me today. Let's drink slowly and chat slowly."

The four of them took a sip together. Bai Mingde took a piece of Deng Ying beef, raised it above his head, looked at the lamp, and praised: "Hua Ying, the master you hired is very good at swordsmanship."

Dengying beef is a famous local traditional food in Sichuan Province. The beef slices are as thin as paper, red and bright in color, spicy and crispy in taste. Chew them carefully and you will have endless aftertaste.

Lantern shadow, that is, shadow puppet show, uses lights to project silhouettes of characters made of animal skins or cardboard onto a curtain. The use of "lantern shadow" to call this kind of beef shows that the slices of meat are so thin that they can reveal objects under the light, just like the curtain in a shadow puppet show.

Bai Mingde took a bite and immediately exclaimed, "It's delicious and authentic. Where did you hire this master chef?"

"Director Bai, this is the special chef invited by the director of our Beijing Office from the Sichuan Provincial Office in Beijing."

"No wonder! The masters from the provincial offices in Beijing must be right."

Bai Mingde picked up the spoon and took another bite of Mapo Tofu. He was also full of praise, "You can tell that the chili pepper, peppercorns, and watercress in the seasoning are all local to Sichuan Province."

The four of them chatted a bit about work.

Bai Mingde took the initiative to ask Lin Zhiyuan about the Yangcheng branch, "Zhiyuan, the Yangcheng branch has been under construction for more than a year. When will it be officially put into production?"

"Director Bai, it is expected that you will be invited to attend our groundbreaking ceremony in November this year."

"So fast?" Bai Mingde was a little surprised, "I remember the construction period of this project is not two years?"

"Yes, the construction period is two years, but with the efforts of all construction staff, the project is progressing smoothly. Now it seems that it will not be a problem to complete it three or four months ahead of schedule."

"Yangcheng Branch is a big project for the bureau. I will definitely go to the site when the time comes."

While several people were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Yang personally carried a plate and walked in with a master chef wearing a snow-white chef uniform.

"Leaders, it's time to serve everyone. This dish of boiled cabbage is carefully made by Master Zhai." Xiangyang placed the plate in the middle of the table. There was a ball of light yellow cabbage heart in the plate.

Xiang Yang turned sideways slightly, revealing the chef, "Let me introduce to all the leaders, this is Master Zhai, a Sichuan cuisine super chef that I specially invited from the Sichuan Provincial Office in Beijing."

Bai Mingde took the initiative to stand up and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Master Zhai. Boiled cabbage is a national banquet dish. We are in a good mood today."

Master Zhai spoke in a rich Sichuan dialect, "As long as a few leaders eat good food."

Master Zhai took a steaming soup pot from the waiter's hand, and poured the hot soup on the cabbage hearts under the watchful eyes of everyone.

A magical scene happened.

When the cabbage hearts are exposed to hot soup, they bloom like flowers. There are also a few bright red wolfberries in the middle of the cabbage hearts.

This dish is so full of color, flavor and taste, it’s as exquisite as a work of art and makes people unable to bear to put down their chopsticks.

After Master Zhai finished pouring the soup, he made a gesture of invitation, "Everyone, leaders, please have a taste."

Director Bai was the first to pick up the chopsticks, add a cabbage leaf, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully twice, "Wonderful, delicious, worthy of being a state banquet dish. Huaying, Kaijie, Zhiyuan, you should try it too." "

The three of them took off their chopsticks one after another. After eating, they immediately gave Master Zhai a thumbs up.

"Master Zhai, why is this cabbage so delicious?" In fact, Lin Zhiyuan has eaten this dish in his past life. The reason why he asked this was just to suit the occasion and enhance the atmosphere.

Master Zhai stood there for a long time, waiting for someone to ask!

"Leader, the reason why boiled cabbage tastes delicious is because its soup is good..." Master Zhai finally got excited when he was praised. "The stock for making boiled cabbage must be boiled with chicken, duck, and ribs, and mixed with Season with clear stock of minced chicken and minced pork, and pour some chicken oil into the soup at the end. After it is cooked, it is fresh and elegant, with a rich and mellow aroma, and the soup is rich, yet fragrant and refreshing, not greasy or greasy."

The four leaders also applauded. Master Zhai was satisfied, bowed and went out.

"Director Bai, all our cadres and employees welcome you to Le Gang for guidance and inspection. Let's see when you have time?" It was almost time for dinner, and Jin Huaying took the initiative to bring up this topic.

Bai Mingde nodded, "Hua Ying, I am indeed planning to take a walk downstairs and take a look at several relatively large steel companies. Since I sit in this position, I must be aware of it."
