Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Tonight, I have invited Comrade Zhang Cheng, the director of the Nanshan District Taxation Bureau, and Comrade Qiu Yunhai, the deputy director of our municipal organization department." In the car, Lai Ying mentioned the people he wanted to invite.

It's just that he invited only two people, and both of them were of extremely important status. Hearing this result, Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction. Obviously, Lai Ying was very sensible in doing things. He didn't invite many people, and they were all important. In this way, it would be easier to say some things.

In the luxurious box of Songshan Pavilion, Lai Ying and others arrived here in advance. Here, Liu Jun first said what he meant, "Brother, sister-in-law, unless it is necessary, please don't mention my name. I will just meet them and leave them a business card when I leave."

Liu Jun thought that this was the best way to handle the situation. Putting aside his position, he could have a more equal meal. He could then leave a business card for the other party when he left. As long as the other party was not stupid, he would know what to do next.

"Okay, I'll listen to Liu Jun." Lai Ying nodded quickly. She just wanted her leader to know what kind of relationships she had and what approach she would take. She certainly wouldn't refute Liu Jun.

The family had just finished the discussion when, not long after, Zhang Cheng, director of the Nanshan District Taxation Bureau, appeared as the first guest.

As soon as he appeared, Liu Shan hurriedly went to greet him. After all, he was his leader, and his future development was in his hands.

"Hehe, Director Lai, hello." Zhang Cheng shook hands with Liu Shan symbolically, and then spoke to Lai Ying enthusiastically. It was obvious that he came to the banquet because of Lai Ying's face, otherwise, how could a subordinate invite him to dinner and he would come?

After all, Lai Ying was also from the municipal organization and had some power. Zhang Cheng believed that establishing this connection would be helpful for his future development, so he rushed here after receiving the call.

"Haha, Director Zhang, look at you, you are still so young and handsome. You haven't changed at all since the last time we met." Lai Ying walked over with a smile.

"Haha, Lai Chu is really good at talking. I'm already over 50 years old and old." Zhang Cheng laughed. Although he knew that the other person's words were meant to flatter him, he still enjoyed them very much.

"No, Director Zhang is not old at all. He is still in his prime. Come, come, please take a seat. I have also invited Deputy Minister Qiu. It would be a good time for you to have a drink together later." Lai Ying smiled and welcomed Zhang Cheng to the box.

"Oh, Deputy Minister Qiu will also be here. I'd really like to borrow your place to toast him with a couple of glasses later." Upon hearing that a big leader was coming, Zhang Cheng's face became obviously much more excited. You know, for someone of his level, it is extremely difficult to meet Qiu Yunhai. He is just a section-level official, while Qiu Yunhai is a high-ranking deputy director. The difference between the two is not a little bit.

Zhang Cheng sat down in the box in such a confident manner. Because Lai Ying and Liu Shan did not introduce Liu Jun as they had intended, he just nodded towards him after sitting down. Because he just heard Xiao Xiangxiang call Liu Shan uncle, he thought this should be someone from their family.

It can be said that Zhang Cheng did not take Liu Jun seriously at all. This was because Director Liu's clothes were too ordinary, and he was only a little over 30 years old. At such an age, he was destined not to be considered a big shot.

Of course, if Zhang Cheng knew Comrade Liu Jun’s identity, he would definitely not be so calm at this moment.

It is said that the big shots always arrive the latest, as if to highlight their unique status. It seems that if they come early, it would be against the rules. In short, they arrived two or three minutes before the scheduled dinner time. It can be seen that Deputy Minister Qiu Yunhai must have arrived on time.

Qiu Yunhai did not come alone, he also brought his secretary. This could be seen from the fact that the secretary was hunched over and followed behind him with a black briefcase in his hand, looking like a grandson.

"Hello, Chief." When Lai Ying saw Qiu Yunhai walk into the box, her eyes narrowed immediately. When she saw that he was accompanied by someone, she immediately said, "Hello, Director Wei."

Director Wei is Qiu Yunhai’s secretary Wei Dajiang.

Although he is called the director, he is actually just the deputy director of an office and does not even enjoy the rank of director. This is just to show respect for him, so in the Organization Department of Sichuan Province, many people would say this in private.

As Qiu Yunhai entered the box, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up in a flattering manner, and out of politeness, Liu Jun and Liu Jiao also stood up.

"Come, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Minister Qiu of our city's Organization Department, and the one next to him is Secretary Wei." Lai Ying introduced the two people with a smile. In order to raise their status, he deliberately did not mention Qiu Yunhai, who was just the deputy minister.

Then, Lai Ying introduced her husband and sister-in-law's family. Of course, she did not immediately introduce Liu Jun's identity.

As soon as Qiu Yunhai entered the box, he looked arrogant, as if everyone in the room owed him money. But after seeing Liu Jiao, his eyes immediately lit up, like a cat seeing a mouse.

Although Liu Jiao is over 30, she is naturally beautiful and does not have to worry about household matters, so she has always maintained herself well. On the surface, she looks only about 24 or 25 years old. She is indeed beautiful, otherwise she would not have become the campus belle of Capital University.

Such a woman will naturally shine wherever she is, just like Qiu Yunhai now. When he saw her, his eyes suddenly widened.

Liu Jiao also felt the aggression in the other person's eyes, but she still endured it because she was pleading for her brother and sister-in-law today. At the same time, she cleverly hugged Xiao Xiangxiang in her arms and said, "Come on, daughter, what do you want to eat? Mommy will pick it up for you."

The reason why Liu Jiao mentioned her identity as a mother was to warn Qiu Yunhai, "Please respect yourself."

But Liu Jiao had no idea that her performance at this moment further showed the great glory of her mother. Qiu Yunhai had been in official career for decades and had seen all kinds of women, but it was the first time he had seen a woman like Liu Jiao who radiated the glory of his mother. Suddenly, his expression became more solid and more aggressive.

No one present was a fool, and they were all smart. Everyone saw that Qiu Yunhai seemed to have some other feelings for Liu Jiao.

Secretary Wei, who was sitting next to him, immediately understood the boss's expression and said with a smile, "This must be Miss Liu, haha, I wonder which unit you work for?"

As Wei Dajiang has followed Qiu Yunhai for a long time, he knows his leader's preferences very well. Usually, when a leader shows such a look, it means that he likes this woman. To be on the safe side, he still tries to find out the other party's background first.

Liu Jiao didn't want to answer this question, but when she thought about not causing trouble for her elder brother and sister-in-law, she slowly replied, "Hello, Director Wei, I work in the Z Research Office of the Municipal Government."

"Oh, Z Research Laboratory. That's a pretty good unit. Your Director Sun and I have a good relationship. I can give him a heads up later and ask him to take good care of you." Without waiting for Wei Dajiang to speak, Qiu Yunhai took over the conversation. It was obvious that he wanted to show off his high status through this means.

The so-called Director Sun is Liu Jiao's leader and the director of the Municipal Z Research Office.

Liu Jiao listened to Qiu Yunhai's overtures and forced a smile, "Thank you Minister Qiu for your concern. I'm just an ordinary staff member. I just need to do my job well. I don't need any special care."

Of course Liu Jiao doesn't need anyone's care. Not to mention that this kind of care seems to be ill-intentioned. Just looking at the ability of her current husband Liu Jun, the leader of the Z Research Office probably doesn't have the courage to cause trouble even if he wants to.

"Haha, ordinary staff are the most important. You are the ones who do a lot of hard work. It's only right that you take care of them." Qiu Yunhai was not angry at all because of Liu Jiao's refusal. On the contrary, he had a very generous expression.

For these leaders, there are often only three types of people who can make them so generous.

One is a very powerful leader. They dare not offend such a person, so even if someone offends them, they can only pretend to be magnanimous.

The second group is very wealthy businessmen. These people can bring them material satisfaction, so they naturally cannot be offended.

Third, a beautiful woman like Liu Jiao is a pleasure to look at. One would not even have time to feel sorry for her, so how could one not be generous?

To put it simply, power, money and sex are the hard currency circulating in society, and you can make a living if you have any one of these.

Liu Jiao was the third type. Facing Qiu Yunhai's pretended magnanimity, she just smiled reservedly and did not argue. She knew very well her position today. She was just a supporting role. She only needed to be a good wife, mother, and sister.

Three cars drove in from outside Songshan Pavilion. After the cars stopped, Yin Fenglei ran to the back door and opened it. Feng Sizhe and He Shasha smiled and walked out of the back seat hand in hand.

"Is this the hotel you booked?" Feng Sizhe asked with a smile after looking up at the hotel sign.

"I ordered it. I thought the environment here is pretty good. Plus, the chef here is famous for making authentic Sichuan cuisine, so I thought of trying it." Without waiting for Yin Fenglei to answer, He Shasha took over.

When he heard that this was his wife's idea, Feng Sizhe smiled again, "Okay, since it was chosen by my wife, it must be the most correct one, so let's choose here today."
