"Minister Han wants his daughter to play a role in the drama?"

Liu Jianye muttered: "Isn't this a wild goose plucking its hair!"

Qi Lu explained helplessly, "Mao Yun and the others only need to take a few shots at our place, and they can shoot for up to three days."

"What Minister Han means is that it's not enough for his daughter to just show her face. It's better to have one or two lines. Tell me, how can I have the nerve to make such a request? Isn't this embarrassing?"

Liu Jianye said with deep emotion: "It is the most difficult thing for businessmen to deal with government officials. Just agree, we don't have the power. If you refuse, it will be equivalent to rejecting such a good opportunity to become famous."

"It's better to ask for money and gifts so that we can satisfy his appetite as much as possible."

Liu Jianye sighed, which made Qi Lu even more upset.

Just as he was about to wave him away, Liu Jianye suddenly thought of something and secretly whispered in Qi Lu's ear.

Qi Lu listened, his frown gradually relaxed, and he nodded with satisfaction.

The Bowan Seafood Restaurant where Qiao Xiaoli invited Fang Yan to dinner is the best place to eat seafood in Lanqiao.

In order to maintain the freshness of the seafood, all seafood is shipped by air and there is no frozen product.

Even in winter, when the wind is biting outside, the seafood restaurant is almost full of people, both in the hall and in the private rooms.

If you don't reserve a seat in advance, you won't be able to get a seat if you show up.

Qiao Xiaoli put on light makeup, paired with a white down jacket, and had a good figure. She looked youthful and beautiful, and Fang Yan couldn't help but look at her several times.

"What are you looking at? It's not the first time you see me." Qiao Xiaoli looked a little shy, her cheeks flushed.

"It's nothing." Fang Yan hurriedly covered it up.

He was not impressed by Qiao Xiaoli's appearance, but was digesting Li Yuanlang's reminder.

Failure to resolve personal problems in time will not help his career.

He currently serves as deputy section chief of the First Secretary Section of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

The position reaches the deputy section level, but because of insufficient qualifications, I cannot be promoted to a full section.

According to the trajectory of serving Li Yuanlang, it will only be a matter of time before Fang Yan is promoted to a full-time department.

The main subjects are sent to outsiders, either the township mayor or the secretary.

At that time, Fang Yan was still alone, and it would be difficult to rise further.

So he was thinking just now that Qiao Xiaoli is a qualified marriage partner.

This thought passed quickly, and Fang Yan quickly returned to normal.

Sitting down at the seat reserved in advance in the lobby, Fang Yan handed the menu to Qiao Xiaoli in a gentlemanly manner and asked her to choose what she liked.

Qiao Xiaoli smiled and said, "I'm treating you today, why don't you treat me as a guest and let me order something?"

"There's no reason why girls should pay for a meal between men and women. I'll treat you."

Qiao Xiaoli didn't argue with Fang Yan, thinking that she could just go and pay the bill then.

She knew that Fang Yan was frugal in order to pay off his debts.

I called the waiter and ordered four representative seafood items and two vegetarian dishes.

Soon, the dishes were placed one by one.

Fang Yan was not good at drinking, but Qiao Xiaoli did not force it. The two drank tea and chatted.

Qiao Xiaoli is still in charge of hot news in the company.

She talked eloquently and mentioned a topic.

The Chinese New Year is just over a month away.

Lanqiao, like most prefecture-level cities in the province, prohibits the setting off of firecrackers during the Spring Festival.

This decision has been implemented for many years. According to Qiao Xiaoli, there is quite a lot of criticism among the public about this approach.

Mainly because it’s hard for the whole family to get together throughout the year.

Eating New Year's Eve dinner, setting off fireworks, and sitting together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, how warm it is.

However, the introduction of the prohibition order lacked the lively flavor of the New Year.

"I heard from my parents that when they were little, they would count the New Year's Day on their fingers just one month away from the Spring Festival."

Qiao Xiaoli said with joy: "In the 1980s and 1990s, life was not as wealthy as it is now, but spiritual food was abundant."

"Every household started steaming bean buns, croquettes, and wearing new clothes years ago. At that time, new clothes were either made by themselves or bought fabrics and sent to tailors to make them. It was rare to go to the store to buy ready-made clothes. The ones that were made were mainly expensive."

"Neighbors live harmoniously and have close contact with each other. If a family makes dumplings, the first bowl will be sent to the neighbor's house. The neighbor will fold the dumplings into his own bowl in front of him, and wash the empty bowl and return it."

"Fang Yan, when I heard my parents say this, I felt like I was listening to a fairy tale. Do you think people at that time were really so simple and kind?"

Fang Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have heard what you are talking about from the elderly at home. My father once mentioned something that impressed me deeply."

"When he was in primary school in the county town, during winter and summer vacations, one of the homework assignments given by the teacher was to do something good and do something good."

"You said there was no surveillance at that time, but my father and the others resolutely carried out the teacher's request and went to the intersection on the street to help the old man and old lady cross the street."

"The most interesting thing is that my father told me that there was an old woman who was helped across the road by four or five of her classmates. She walked back and forth four or five times by herself."

"The grandma also cooperated, smiling and accompanying my father and the others, and sincerely helped them complete this task."

"It's not like now. Let alone helping me cross the road, no one dares to help me even if I fall down, for fear of being blackmailed."

"There are so many living examples of people extorting large sums of money from us, which has caused the overall moral decline of our society."

"Sometimes I also think about the fact that our society has entered a stage of rapid development and people's living standards have improved, but the spiritual world has become narrow and selfish. What is the reason?"

Qiao Xiaoli nodded in agreement, "I think the root cause of this bad culture is that the cost of doing evil is too low."

"For an old man like this, if the blackmail is successful, he will get a sum of money for nothing. If he is not successful, he will at most suffer moral condemnation and will not bear any legal responsibility and will suffer no loss."

"It makes sense." Fang Yan said: "However, I believe that most people are fine, but some people are like fish and soup."

Putting a piece of something on the plate, Fang Yan continued: "You just mentioned the ban on release. When I have a chance, I will mention it to Secretary Li and let me know what he thinks."

Unknowingly, more than half an hour had passed since the meal. When Qiao Xiaoli put down her chopsticks and finished eating, Fang Yan used the opportunity to go to the bathroom and secretly went to the bar to pay the bill.

When I came back, I saw two men sitting opposite Qiao Xiaoli talking.

One of them he knew, Liu Jianye, the vice president of Qiao Xiaoli's company.

Fang Yan frowned, thinking that Liu Jianye was pestering Qiao Xiaoli.

As he strode over, Liu Jianye spotted him at a glance and hurriedly stood up to say hello, "Hello, Secretary Fang."

Fang Yan's right hand that he extended out was ruthlessly ignored and ignored at all.

Liu Jianye rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Seeing this, Qiao Xiaoli introduced another middle-aged man in his forties to Fang Yan.

"This is President Qi of our company."

Qi Lu took the initiative to introduce himself and handed over his business card with both hands.

Because of Qiao Xiaoli's face, Fang Yan shook hands with Qi Lu.

"Sit down and talk." Qiao Xiaoli motioned to the empty seat next to her.

The four of them sat down again, and Qi Lu sighed with a frown, telling the truth about the fact that the TV series was going to be filmed in Fenghe Village, Gusuo Town, Xiacheng District.

Listening to his tone and demeanor, Fang Yan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Filming TV series here is a good thing for free publicity, and it is also good for your company. Why is Mr. Qi sighing?"

"Alas!" Qi Lu shook his head helplessly and vomited bitterly, "Minister Han from the Propaganda Department of the Xiacheng District Committee hopes that his daughter will play a small role in the play, as long as she has a few lines. But our company is not an investor after all.

The crew had no right to speak, and even my classmates found it difficult, so this incident put me in a difficult position."

Liu Jianye took the opportunity to interject: "Secretary Fang, you happen to be here. We would like to ask you to move to the private room and meet with Minister Han..."

He didn't have the nerve to say the rest of the sentence directly, but Fang Yan seemed to have guessed it clearly.

To put it bluntly, this is using Fang Yan to exert influence on Minister Han, which means pulling off the skin of a tiger.

The three people looked at Fang Yan with six eyes, carefully observing the subtle changes on his face.

Especially Qi Lu and Liu Jianye, fearing that their sudden appearance would cause Fang Yan to be dissatisfied, they flatly refused.

In that case, there will be no room for change.
