() Wei Junshan’s arrival did not resolve the awkward atmosphere in the room, but made everyone even more uncomfortable.
However, Wei Junshan was obviously more capable than Ji Xiuli. He smiled and said, "Secretary Meng, I don't know many of you. Please introduce me..."
Meng Liansong glanced at Wei Junshan speechlessly, and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "You both know Shuyun and Meng Yu. This is Zuo Han..."
"We know each other." Wei Junshan glanced at Zuo Han and said, "The young lady next to her is called He Ye. I've also met him in the capital. As for this person here... eh?!"
Wei Junshan originally wanted to take the initiative quietly, but when he saw Liu Yun inadvertently, he was a little confused.
"Director Wei..." Liu Yun stood up with a smile, and then changed her words as if she suddenly realized: "No, it should be Mayor Wei now."
Wei Junshan laughed dryly and looked at Ji Xiuli sadly.
By saying "everyone is here", one can guess that Zuo Han is also here. But Liu Yun is also here. Why didn't this stupid wife give a hint on the phone?
Ji Xiuli was also confused and stared at Wei Siying in annoyance.
She only saw Zuo Han and Meng Liansong, not paying attention to anyone else.
Wei Siying also figured it out. She came today just to accompany her, lowering her head and playing with her mobile phone, regardless of the lightning or thunder outside.
"I didn't expect Miss Liu to be there..." Wei Junshan forced a smile and said, "Now that I'm in Weihai, I can be regarded as Secretary Liu's soldier."
Liu Yundong is the deputy secretary of Ludong. Even if Wei Junshan cannot get close to him, he cannot offend Liu Yun.
"I just arrived in Weihai today, and Zuo Han and Secretary Meng came to meet me." Liu Yun was noncommittal about Wei Junshan's overtures, but made her position clear with a single word.
Wei Junshan's expression stiffened, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Liu Yun cannot fully represent Liu Yundong, but her attitude is also crucial. Now that Liu Yun's sexual orientation is so obvious, she even deliberately pronounces Zuo Han's name before Meng Liansong. Is it just because Zuo Han is an illegitimate son of the Zuo family?
Wei Junshan was still thinking, but Ji Xiuli couldn't sit still.
She wouldn't think as deeply as Wei Junshan, but she could hear the meaning of Liu Yun's words.
"Miss Liu, it's not me who is nosy..." Ji Xiuli glanced at Zuo Han and said to Liu Yun: "You have to keep your eyes open and don't be deceived by others."
Liu Yun looked at Ji Xiuli strangely and asked, "What did Aunt Ji say?"
Ji Xiuli chuckled and said, "You may not know that there are some people in society today who specialize in deceiving people under the guise of high-ranking officials and powerful people. Didn't we report on the news some time ago that a farmer actually said that he was a great researcher?
Many officials were deceived by him..."
Half of the people in the room were confused and didn't know what Ji Xiuli was going to say. But people like Liu Yun and Meng Liansong obviously sensed something else.
Looking at Ji Xiuli's erratic eyes, she seemed to be targeting Zuo Han.
Wei Junshan was a little dissatisfied with his wife, but since the cannon had been fired, he could not block the barrel back. After much thought, only Liu Yun was more likely to be deceived.
"Secretary Meng, you should also be careful. That kind of liar specializes in deceiving big leaders like you."
Ji Xiuli finally turned to Meng Liansong and ended the liar talk.
At the end of her words, she almost named someone by name and called him a big liar.
Zuo Han looked at Ji Xiuli and felt a little unhappy.
Zuo Han originally disdained to get angry with a shrew like He Ji Xiuli, but when he accused Sang and Huai in front of his face, he said she was a liar, which made him unhappy no matter how hard he heard it.
"The way of a son is crazy and full of deceit and hypocrisy." Zuo Han said quietly: "Hypocritical swindlers have been around since ancient times, and a wise man can identify them. Compared with those low-ranking swindlers, they wear bright clothes and eat well.
Mi Jian’s hypocrites are even more shameful.”
After hearing what Zuo Han said, everyone in the room had different expressions.
Liu Yun and Meng Liansong were smiling and looked at Zuo Han with a little more energy. Lin Shuyun looked nervous and seemed to be hesitating. He Ye and Meng Yu blushed with excitement. If they weren't worried about the occasion, they would
I want to say hello.
Wei Junshan and Wei Siying also blushed, but they were not excited, but ashamed and angry.
In any case, these people all understood the meaning of Zuo Han's words, only Ji Xiuli and Elizabeth looked blank.
Elizabeth had been at a loss for a long time, because she didn't understand Chinese at all, and her eyes were just murmuring. Ji Xiuli really didn't understand.
Different from Ji Xiuli's long speech, Zuo Han used the past to satirize the present, implying that Meng Liansong, Liu Yun and others were all wise men, and he took advantage of the situation to clarify himself. Then he implied that Ji Xiuli was a hypocritical villain, and her deeds were not worthy of publicity at all.
"Don't worry about the liar." Liu Yun glanced at Ji Xiuli, picked up the wine glass and said to Zuo Han: "Today is dinner, I want to toast you."
"Take me one." He Ye couldn't hold it any longer and picked up the wine glass.
Then came Meng Yu, Elizabeth, Meng Liansong, and Lin Shuyun. Seeing others serving drinks, she had no choice but to serve them.
Wei Junshan had a sullen expression and did not move. Ji Xiuli picked up the wine glass and said cheerfully: "Yes, I have to respect this glass of wine too."
Wei Junshan couldn't hold his breath, and Wei Siying kept stepping on Ji Xiuli's feet.
When someone scolds you and you still toast, it takes two hundred and fifty to do that.
But Ji Xiuli didn't think so. She felt that Zuo Han was following her words and must have felt guilty and had given in to her.
After finishing a glass of wine, everyone laughed.
Ji Xiuli then scolded Wei Siying in a low voice: "Why do you keep stepping on me!"
"Mom, he is scolding you..." Wei Siying explained simply like a mosquito: "He is scolding you for being a sweet sword, and he is scolding you for being hypocritical..."
Ji Xiuli wasn't too stupid. After Wei Siying explained, she thought about it and finally came to her senses.
"You dare to scold me?!" Ji Xiuli stood up like a fried chicken and glared at Zuo Han angrily.
Zuo Han glanced at Ji Xiuli and said calmly: "Ms. Ji, you have lost your composure."
"You..." Ji Xiuli was about to have a seizure.
"Sit down!" Wei Junshan couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled her hard on the side and shouted:
"It's okay for you to act up normally, but what is the occasion today? Don't forget for a while..."
Ji Xiuli gritted her teeth and stared at Zuo Han fiercely.
Zuo Han raised his eyelids and said to Elizabeth in English: "I heard that many British people like to keep lizards. Isn't it dangerous? They look very fierce, and they will glare at people and hiss."
A group of people all spoke Chinese, and it was not easy for someone to talk to her in English. Elizabeth was not happy. Although she didn't know why she asked this, she still replied: "Lizards look ferocious, but in fact most of them are timid and feel a little bit dangerous."
Will run away..."
"That's it." Zuo Han seemed to suddenly realize.
Ji Xiuli's angry face had completely turned into an eggplant color. Ji Xiuli knew English, and she finally understood it this time.
But Zuo Han teased Ji Xiuli with the big lizard, not to lower his tone of bickering, but to make her angry. With her and Wei Junshan here, this meal would not be comfortable.
They were almost tearing up their faces, but Wei Junshan and Ji Xiuli still had no intention of leaving. Zuo Han felt even more strange.
Why do this couple seem to be waiting for someone to die here?
Zuo Han stopped He Ye who wanted to leave. Meng Liansong pondered for a moment, and said some irrelevant words to Wei Junshan, which somewhat relaxed the atmosphere.
At this point, they all wanted to see what kind of medicine Wei Junshan was selling in his gourd.
Wei Junshan gritted his teeth and dealt with it, while Ji Xiuli was even more restless and would go out from time to time in the name of going to the toilet.
After some time, when Ji Xiuli opened the door again, the elevator door also opened.
Several neat young men in suits came out, exchanged a few words with the waiters, and glanced in the direction of Yuhua Hall. One of them turned his head and pulled off his collar, moved the corner of his mouth, and then several people took up different directions.
Ji Xiuli was overjoyed and turned around to look at Wei Junshan.
Wei Junshan coughed and did not move, but he could not hide the joy on his face.
Zuo Han and others looked at each other.
Is anyone coming?
After a while, the elevator bell rang again, and a group of people came out.
Ji Xiuli stood at the door without leaving, looking around the crowd with her eyes. When she saw a man in the middle, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Minister Zuo, what a coincidence..." Ji Xiuli stepped out and walked out.
Wei Junshan is so angry, he is really saying that this unlucky wife is really unlucky. We agreed to "encounter by chance", but this is too obvious for you.
But Ji Xiuli had already gone out, and Wei Junshan couldn't sit still, so he had to get up and go out to greet her, with Wei Siying following beside her.
Zuo Han, Meng Liansong and others looked at each other suspiciously.
Minister Zuo?
Liu Yun thought for a moment and said suddenly: "I remembered, Shi Yi mentioned it to me. He said that Director Zuo was going to be transferred from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to the Ministry of Commerce as deputy minister. It seems that the appointment has been made."
"Is it him?" Zuo Han glanced outside the door, pondered for a moment, and immediately guessed the thoughts of the Wei family couple.
In fact, it's not difficult to guess. Zuo Han's identity has not been disclosed, Ji Xiuli's attitude has changed sharply, and the two of them behaved shamelessly today. If nothing happens, there is something wrong.
"Zuo Han, Liu Yun..." Meng Liansong looked at the two of them and said hesitantly: "We..."
Meng Liansong has never met Zuo Shiji, and the new appointment has not been officially announced. But the deputy minister is here, and it is difficult for the top leader in this place to sit in the room.
"Let's go and welcome together." Zuo Han said with a smile: "It's hard to let Mayor Wei perform a one-man show. He has been busy for so long."
Meng Liansong smiled knowingly, and stood up with Zuo Han and Liu Yun.
Seeing the three people going out, Elizabeth, who had been in a daze, couldn't bear it anymore and asked He Ye in English: "What happened?"
As a reporter, Elizabeth had a keen sense that there was a lot of gossip to dig up, but the language barrier made her anxious.
But Elizabeth asked the wrong person. He Ye is even more confused than she is now.
He Ye had guessed about Zuo Han's background and asked about it, but Zuo Han kept telling her back with half-truths and half-falsities, which made He Ye quite upset. At this moment, He Ye felt that he was far away from the truth he wanted to know.
It was very close. But she was a little afraid, afraid that after touching those realities, it would alienate the two of them.
He Ye was feeling inexplicably sad there, but he didn't know that it was already bustling outside the room.
