On the way, Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang were discussing where to choose to receive these two important figures in the evening.

Ma Yingjie is a full-time deputy director, and he also enjoys the treatment of deputy director. Officially speaking, he is no less than Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang.

The key is that they have strong backgrounds, especially Ma Yingjie.

The number one secretaries in the province, anyone who invites him to dinner would probably travel several miles away.

After finally inviting him, the place must be good, at least a five-star hotel.

This is Zhong Kang's true thoughts. Anyway, he is not short of money and has a straight back.

In the end, Lu Dingfang shook his head directly, "Old Zhong, Lu Chu hasn't eaten anything or seen anything. Besides, there are many people in big hotels, so if you meet someone you don't want to meet, it will be detrimental to your business."

of."

"Tell me, where should I choose?" Zhong Kang already regarded Lu Dingfang as his guiding light and let Lu Dingfang make the decision in everything.

"Nowadays, most people choose to eat in high-end clubs. However, these clubs are private and not open to the public. They are only used by members."

Zhong Kang was in a difficult situation for a while. He had a dark look in the provincial capital. He didn't know where the private club was, let alone its members.

"Lu County, you are well-informed. Please help me think of a way. We need to start early. It would be wrong to neglect Lu Chu if we are late."

Lu Dingfang thought for a moment and said, "You drive in the service area in front, and I'll call and ask."

Soon they arrived at the service area, and while Zhong Kang was going to the toilet, Lu Dingfang called Feng Man and asked him to assign a place.

Feng Man travels all over the country, so this matter is a piece of cake for him.

He happens to have a membership at Jin Chai Club. Although he has a silver card, the annual membership fee is as high as millions.

Moreover, Jinchai Guild Hall is quite famous in Yunyang City. It is not ranked among the top three, but it is also not among the top five. It is definitely high-end.

It is said that the boss behind Jin Chai Guild Hall has a great background, but no one knows what his background is.

The more mysterious it is, the more it means this person is not simple.

You can guess the level of a person who can always remain mysterious these days.

No matter how you say it, entertaining Ma Yingjie and You Li at the Jinchai Guild Hall is definitely a face-saving and in line with your status.

Afterwards, Feng Man also said: "Lu County, I have an account in the guild hall, please feel free to enjoy it."

Lu Dingfang didn't agree. It was his own private matter and he didn't want to do it.

The biggest difference between him and Xing Dong is that when dealing with Feng Man, he will take advantage of it carefully and take advantage of it, and he will definitely not take advantage of it.

Especially when it comes to money, Lu Dingfang is very careful.

Feng Man is a businessman. In business, if you get a little benefit from him, Feng Man will get double the benefit from you.

His ability to survive from a miserable poor kid to where he is today is definitely not just due to luck, but also due to his highly developed mind.

This is why Lu Dingfang is still alive and well, and why Xing Dong has lost his life.

When Zhong Kang came back, Lu Dingfang was sending a message to You Li on his mobile phone, telling him the address and name of the private room.

"Is the decision finished?" Zhong Kang asked.

"Well, you can reserve a room at Jinchai Guild Hall." Lu Dingfang replied calmly.

"What an interesting name." Zhong Kang naturally knows the Twelve Golden Hairpins in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Keqing's private room is Qin Keqing who ranks last, so it must be named after her.

Wouldn't Ma Yingjie feel dissatisfied just because the private room ranked last?

Zhong Kang was puzzled. He wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask. He opened his mouth a few times and refrained from speaking.

Perhaps seeing that Zhong Kang had an idea, Lu Dingfang said: "Old Zhong, it would be great if we can make a reservation. The twelve first-class private rooms in Jinchai Guild Hall generally need to be booked half a month in advance. We can temporarily fill in the room and we can grab it."

It's already a huge honor to get into a room, and people should know how to be satisfied."

"I understand Lu County, and I will never forget your kindness." Zhong Kang immediately expressed his attitude, turned the steering wheel, and drove away from the service area.

The two of them arrived in Yunyang City before dark. They booked a hotel room first, took a break each, and then drove straight to the Jinchai Guild Hall.

Different from some guild halls that are low-key and unassuming, this one is built with great fanfare in the downtown area and looks like a five-story gray-white building.

It imitates a European-style building, with a red carpet at the door and someone guarding it.

Visitors need to report their membership number, and they will be released after detailed verification.

Fortunately, Feng Man had already made proper contact before, and Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang walked in without much trouble.

& nb/Through a narrow corridor, under the leadership of the special person, the two walked into the Golden Hall.

Just like in "A Dream of Red Mansions", they completely transformed into Grandma Liu and entered the Grand View Garden. They were shocked by the magnificent decoration in front of them.

Lu Dingfang was okay and tried his best to maintain his normal dignity. In fact, the corner of his eye was never idle and he could see everything here.

On the contrary, Zhong Kang looked around, especially the waitresses who were walking through the club, wearing red cheongsam and showing off their slender legs, which attracted his attention.

All tall figures, wrapped in cheongsam, show off their perfect and graceful side to the fullest.

Looking at their faces, they all had a little makeup on them, none of them wore heavy makeup, and they were almost bare-faced.

Even so, it's hard to hide her stunning appearance. No one is worse than a beautiful star.

Zhong Kang next to him looked left and right. Lu Dingfang frowned slightly and couldn't help but cough a few times to remind Zhong Kang not to embarrass him like a bumpkin.

Only then did Zhong Kang retract his greedy eyes, put on an air of someone who had seen the world, followed Lu Dingfang into the elevator, turned left and right to the second floor, and finally entered Keqing's private room.

The private room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and is decorated in an antique style.

A large fine brushwork painting by Qin Keqing hangs on the outer wall, and there are several calligraphy works next to it, all signed with the names of famous calligraphy masters in China.

Lu Dingfang not only sighed inwardly, not to mention the superb level of the meticulous painting, it must have been painted by a famous person.

Just for these calligraphy works, if any one is put up for auction, it will definitely fetch no less than one million.

From this point of view, this guild hall is big enough, and millions of original works are just hanging casually, all used as decorative items.

In the inner room is a large solid wood round table, which can easily seat ten people.

Because the reservation was for four people, only four antique solid wood chairs were placed.

It was still early, and Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang were sitting outside, sipping delicious fine black tea, eating snacks and fruits, and chatting wordlessly while smoking.

In this way, we waited from half past six in the evening until nearly eight o'clock. During this period, the beautiful waiter came in from time to time to remind us when the food would be served.

Zhong Kang could only delay further on the grounds that not everyone had arrived yet.

Lu Dingfang, on the other hand, sent messages to You Li asking.

He can't send it too frequently, otherwise if he annoys the other party and doesn't come back, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

In fact, everything was fine on You Li's side, but Ma Yingjie couldn't get away for the time being.

Waiting left and right, Zhong Kang's patience was exhausted.

He couldn't hold it in any longer, so he asked Lu Dingfang, "Why don't Lu Chu come?"

Lu Dingfang felt anxious and said angrily: "You are also an official, and you don't know this little common sense. The secretary has many things he can't help himself. If he wants to get out, he has to see if the palace secretary has anything to do."

"Old Zhong, I have to make it clear to you that you have to wait until dawn tonight, otherwise you will have no chance."

"That's right. I'm just asking. Don't be angry. It's all my fault for talking too much." Zhong Kang apologized repeatedly, always keeping a smile on his face.

He really regretted it at this moment. If he had known it would be so difficult, he might as well not have fought for the position of standing committee member and deputy county magistrate. Not to mention whether he could succeed, it was just a torturous feeling. It was too uncomfortable.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Dingfang's cell phone rang, and he saw that it was You Li's number.

He was a little nervous and his fingers were shaking.

I thought to myself: "It must be good news."

"Secretary You, are you here?" Lu Dingfang asked cautiously.

"We're on the way and we'll probably be there in about half an hour."

Lu Dingfang's heart finally dropped as soon as he heard that You Li mentioned "us".

And he shouted out the door in a loud voice: "Waiter, serve the food."

Zhong Kang was also very energetic after learning that he quickly went to the bathroom to wash his face and put himself in the best condition. He also looked in the mirror to tidy up his appearance and dipped his hair in water to ensure that it was shiny.

First impressions are important, and he knows this.

After preparations were completed, the dishes were placed one after another.

At this time, Youli also informed them that they would be arriving soon, so Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang stood side by side at the door, waiting quietly for the guests to arrive.

After a while, the door opened, and there were two people in front of him, one was Ma Yingjie, and the person next to Ma Yingjie looked unfamiliar.
