The three of them went downstairs all the way. Meng Haichao asked Wang Baoyu's recent situation with concern, especially the development of work at the Education Bureau, and asked him how comfortable he was doing.

It is better to listen than to what you can say. Wang Baoyu vaguely realized that Meng Haichao probably wanted to transfer himself to the city, and he was really excited.

Xia Yida followed behind the two of them, muttering a little, and his little mouth was pouting, as if he was complaining that Meng Haichao was favored and that he was not very concerned about her former secretary.

The canteen of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee is an independent building located on the west side of the building. It happened to be lunchtime, and there were naturally people coming and going, bustling.

Meng Haichao walked in slowly and said a few words to the waiter at the door. The waiter left and took two clean dishes from the cabinet and handed them to Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida.

The canteen is spacious, neat and bright, surrounded by dining tables and chairs similar to those of fast food restaurants. On the long table in the middle, there are dozens of dishes, all with colors, fragrance and flavor, and exquisite workmanship, which seems to be better than a big restaurant.

When dining in such a place, Wang Baoyu still maintained his proper demeanor, but he picked up a few dishes and took two steamed buns, as did Meng Haichao and Xia Yida.

However, the biggest problem with Xia Yida is that it is so eye-catching that everyone in the room is looking at Xia Yida, marveling at the fact that there are such beautiful women in this world. Xia Yida is commonplace and just thinks that she hasn't seen it.

Wang Baoyu felt quite proud. The bald man ran with the moon and couldn't help but whisper to Xia Yida: "Except for not cutting off the bottom, as long as you are willing to be my wife, I can agree to any conditions."

"Okay, then sew it on!" Xia Yida smirked wickedly. Wang Baoyu's face turned cold, and this move was even more ruthless.

Meng Haichao greeted the people at the next table while walking. There were several deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and leaders of other departments. Of course, when they saw Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida, they nodded politely.

Wang Baoyu finally understood the reason why Meng Haichao brought him to the canteen, and it was mostly to make himself familiar with these people first.

Wang Baoyu saw from a distance that a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting on a table in the corner was Wei Xingbang, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Yu Xingbang looked up and happened to see Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida. He just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to lower his head to eat.

"Xiao Wang, if you don't have enough food, go get it, don't be polite!" After sitting down, Meng Haichao looked at Wang Baoyu's plate and smiled.

"Hehe, actually, I don't have much appetite." Wang Baoyu laughed.

"Didn't you grow up so short when you were a child?" Xia Yida teased.

Wang Baoyu frowned and said, but Meng Haichao smiled and said, "Han Xin is not tall, and he assisted Liu Bang to seize the world; Chairman Deng, the chief designer of our economic development, is not tall, but he can be kept in history forever and be admired by future generations."

"Minister Meng, what do we say about those who are tall when we were young?" Xia Yida raised her head and asked Meng Haichao with a smile, her mouth full of stuffing, and it seemed very casual.

"That's a good boy." Meng Haichao laughed, his eyes full of love.

"Did you hear that? Minister Meng is also praising me, Dwarf!" Xia Yida smiled.

I'm not that short yet! I'm just not burly enough, I have to grow 1.8 meters tall! Wang Baoyu thought depressedly, and just lowered his head and pulled a few bites of food. He looked up suddenly, but saw a person he knew came over from the opposite side, Wang Yifu, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee.

"Haha, Minister Meng is here to visit." Wang Yifu stepped forward and smiled.

"Secretary Wang rarely eats in the cafeteria. Let me introduce it to you. This is my former secretary Xiao Xia and Xia Yida. This is the director of the county education bureau, Wang Baoyu." Meng Haichao stood up and said.

Wang Yifu nodded and smiled at Xia Yida, looked at Wang Baoyu carefully and said, "Xiao Wang is famous now, and has made great contributions to eradicating the formless cult."

Wang Baoyu quickly stood up and said politely: "Secretary Wang, you have praised me. I am just responsible for being a citizen."

"No, a child can teach you." Wang Yifu said, holding the dining plate and heading straight to the table of Weixingbang.

"Xiao Wang, Secretary Wang seems to be very interested in you!" Meng Haichao said with a smile.

"We didn't have any friendship before." Wang Baoyu said honestly.

"I don't think so. Secretary Wang is not interested in it. He seems to know everything about you very well." Meng Haichao said thoughtfully.

"Are you a family?" Xia Yida asked curiously, probably because of the reason why both of them were surnamed Wang.

"no."

"I don't think so. Look how handsome they are, they have the charm of a mature man." Xia Yida exclaimed. Wang Yifu is indeed handsome. No wonder Xia Yida, who has a long eyelid to the top of his head, praised it.

However, deep down, Wang Baoyu had no good feelings for this person with the same surname. Of course, it was due to the poisoning incident and his protection of Li Chuanzong, the mayor of Liuhe Town.

"Yes, Secretary Wang is very kind. I heard that his daughter is also outstanding in appearance and very smart." Meng Haichao laughed.

"Are I beautiful?" Xia Yida asked back.

"Haha, in the eyes of elders, you are always the most beautiful ones." Meng Haichao smiled.

"He is a dignified political and legal secretary, and I, a little person, dare not compete with him." Wang Baoyu said disdainfully.

"In fact, no matter how old the official is, he is a mortal in nature. Therefore, no matter who he gets along with, as long as he can be neither humble nor arrogant and correctly grasp the standards, he can get along well." Meng Haichao pointed out.

"Minister Meng, I think you are more interested in this brat." Xia Yida said jealously.

Meng Haichao laughed, not explaining. He looked at Wang Yifu and Wei Xingbang inadvertently. The two of them had a serious expression, as if they were taking advantage of the opportunity to eat to discuss something.

When he returned to Meng Haichao's office, the fragrant tea was still warm. Wang Baoyu couldn't help but lit a cigarette. Xia Yida moved his body, fearing that he would choke by the cigarette.

Meng Haichao flipped through the calendar and said, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Xia, how do you two understand the saying "It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail?"

Wang Baoyu was immediately alert. He remembered that when he was presenting a painting to Meng Haichao, Meng Haichao told him an allusion of "not being caught with fish". The story was remembered, but the protagonist's name was not remembered. But this time, what did Meng Haichao want to remind himself?

"Minister Meng, I think this sentence makes sense. No matter how good the phoenix is, it is quite boring to be a tail and smell the butt. It is better to be the head of a group of chickens. It is more comfortable. When you look at people or things, you will see the head at first glance." Wang Baoyu said bluntly.
