Zhao Hongbo was by no means the last straw for Shangtang County, Yue Qing was. Although Li Pingyang and Wu Zhong also had a wide influence in Shangtang County, this timing was undoubtedly the most beneficial to Yue Qing.
Another advantage of Yue Qing is that he is young. If he becomes the county magistrate, Shangtang County will enjoy a period of stable and rapid development in the next ten years.
Of course, it's not that simple for Yue Qing to get that position. He must reach an internal consensus with all parties. Unfortunately, Tang Lin suddenly came in unexpectedly.
It was when he showed off his abilities before them that both Tang Lin and Chu Feifei could see clearly that Shang Tang also had hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were also many talented people. At least the effect of him and Yue Duo joining forces was definitely no worse than that of Tang Lin and Yue Duo, or even better.
Because they are all locals, their prestige and influence are very large and widespread, and they do not need any integration at all.
The two of them joining forces in the positions of secretary and county magistrate of Shang and Tang would be the wisest and most reliable choice for Shang and Tang. So to people on Tang Lin's side, things seemed certain, but in fact there were many variables.
Tang Lin and Chu Feifei were not fools. Of course they felt the provocation coming from Yue Qing. But they both smiled lightly and didn't care at all. They had long expected that Shangtang County would not be so open-minded.
Welcome their arrival with unscrupulous enthusiasm.
Sometimes, for some officials, their own jobs and interests are much more important than some development zones. Therefore, their starting points are different, and they are definitely destined to be bitter enemies with Tang Lin.
Everyone sat down, and the table they made was very different from ordinary tables. It was an irregular root-carved dining table carved from a huge tree root locally.
At this table, Tang Lin, Chu Feifei, Zhao Hongbo, Yue Qing, Li Pingyang, Wu Zhongyueduo, plus Zhou Qiang, a member of the armed forces. There are eight people in total, just right, no more, no less.
But this must have been arranged like this by Yue Qing before. Anyway, there is a root carving under the table, and a very smooth and delicate thick glass is polished according to the direction of the root carving above. This is convenient for dining without blocking the taste of the root carving itself.
.
"Mr. Chu is well-informed. Can you guess how old this big tree is?" Yue Qing immediately started to sue again, but such words were tasteless to Chu Feifei. She was indeed good at socializing, but she didn't bother to do this kind of thing.
Who could force a smile on her face at all times? She just smiled quietly as usual, like an orchid blooming in the night.
Sitting there without saying a word, he alone exuded a magical fragrance of orchids.
Chu Feifei would naturally be embarrassed at the dinner table if she didn't speak. After all, she was the real host and guest. Although this was Tang Lin's first visit to Shang Tang, relatively speaking, the title this time was a business inspection, so Chu Feifei naturally did her part.
The first place to be photographed. No matter how important Tang Lin is, he can only take second place. Chu Feifei was specially invited by Tang Lin. If she didn't say anything, Tang Lin should stand up and resist, but he is a little tired and hungry now. It is best for him after he is discharged from the hospital.
Eat three meals a day on time. If it is late, your body will become weaker.
Moreover, this topic was obviously Yue Qing's self-praising joke, so he didn't bother to talk about it. He was very disgusted with this kind of self-promotion. It would have sounded nice if other people here said it, but Yue Qing was too eager to express himself.
It turned out that he was the savior of Shang and Tang Dynasties!
This person does have the ability and background, but now it seems that he is at least too proud to express himself in the past. When Tang Lin was young, he often did this kind of thing in his early 20s, so he had to strive for first place in any competition.
But now he is 26 years old and has left the army. He has stopped being competitive for a long time. His low-key nature has gradually begun to show. He will never mention himself when nothing happens.
He is fully self-aware in this regard. He often asks Liang Shuang, did I tell people about the army again today? Liang Shuang is good at short stories, and he talks much less recently than before, which is an improvement.
From a psychological point of view, no one wants to listen to someone talk about their past, although people often like to do so.
The old man is very special. He rarely talks about his past. His mind is truly broad and broad. He would rather talk about the weather and the vegetables in his greenhouse.
Because of your position and experience, others will know even if you don’t tell them. People who often express themselves openly and silently are not successful people. One is proud and narcissistic, and the other is eager to be recognized. Especially to be recognized.
Recognition of enemies and competitors.
So it was Yue Duo who finally came to the rescue. Yue Duo grinned and said, "Let's talk while eating. Anyway, the arrangements are all special dishes. Today you two will try our local specialties first. This meal was originally arranged at
We had lunch, but it’s already evening now. As for this root carving table, there is still a story. It would be very laborious to count the annual rings on it. Because it is 700 years old. Of course, this is not for a
The table cut down an ancient tree. This was an ancient tree that had been dead for many years. At the entrance of Pangjia Village, Lao Pang's family wanted to dig out the roots to use as firewood. Deputy Secretary Yue happened to be passing by on business and immediately gave him 1,000 yuan.
I bought it for 1 yuan, and now I have this special table. I have to say that Deputy Secretary Yue has a very good vision in this regard and has a lot of knowledge. Unlike me, who is bored in the hospital every day and knows everything about things outside the hospital.
Almost nothing."
Tang Lin actually wanted to laugh when he heard this, because the gap between the Yue Duo in front of him and the Yue Duo he was familiar with was really huge. The Yue Duo he was familiar with was proud, cold, arrogant, didn't talk much, and would never be like this at the wine table.
Hypocrisy and resignation. Why would she do this if she didn't abandon medicine and join politics?
As a top brain surgeon, no matter whether he is a rich man or a famous official, he will ask for her when he enters the hospital, right? So this feeling is really uncomfortable, and at this moment, he felt even more what Chu Feifei said, Yue
Zhonghua pushed his only daughter onto the fire bed specifically to block the bullet for Tang Lin.
"Well, although I have just arrived here, I have made a great breakthrough in my understanding of Deputy Secretary Yue. We should have more time and opportunities to communicate on official matters in the future. Mr. Chu, let's eat first."
Chu Feifei then nodded, "Well, come on, I won't eat meat for dinner, just simple vegetables and salads." Although it was said that this was a special dish specially arranged by Yue Qing, Chu Feifei still made her own request. This
It's her personality. Yue Qing behaves very arrogant, arrogant and full of desire for her. Originally she didn't have to be like this, but now she has to be like this. Anyone who doesn't take Chu Feifei into consideration will have a miserable end result.
.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu, there will be vegetables and salads that you are satisfied with. Xiao Cheng, let's serve the dishes." In the end, it was Yue Qing who spoke. And since entering the Shangtang Hotel, Yue Qing was almost the only one who spoke, and the rest of the people spoke.
Yes, the expression on his face is normal. It seems that these people usually settle banquets and family matters here, so they are all in need of Yue Qing's favor.
The dishes were served quickly. They were not the typical large plates in the Central Plains but small plates. They were very distinctive. Different dishes came on different plates. Shangtang was completely mountainous, so although it was very poor, there were beef, mutton, hare and local varieties.
The free-range black pig, which is similar to wild boar, is very famous. So the main course is of course meat-based, a roast rabbit, a roast black pig, as well as large lamb chops and potato beef. In fact, it is more similar to the popular farm dishes now. But it is very
It's a pity that Chu Feifei doesn't eat meat at all for dinner. Although Tang Lin is a typical carnivore and should have moved his index finger, Yue Duo, who is next to him, has already taken action in advance and added a piece of lamb chop for him, tearing off a small piece and grilling it.
Black pig, that's all.
Don't say anything, that means, this is your biggest meat.
If the main course doesn't please Chu Feifei, what can Yue Qing do to please the beautiful lady? That is the wild yellow mushroom on Fengqi Mountain. This is an extremely precious fungus, and its output is very limited. The best way to eat it is to pick it from the mountain.
I don’t add any seasonings, just make yellow mushroom soup.
It seemed bland and tasteless, but in fact Chu Feifei fell in love with it right away. She drank two small cups by herself, and the smile on her face became even more fragrant.
Then there is the wild bracken. The preparation of this bracken is a bit similar to the preparation of baby cabbage in a hotel. It looks like clear soup and clear water, with a hint of bitterness in the entrance and exit, but it is a kind of natural fragrance. Obviously this
Two dishes were enough to impress Chu Feifei, because she ate a lot.
According to Tang Lin, her food intake at night is not as good as what a cat eats.
Of course, you have to drink wine. Chu Feifei can only drink a little red wine, but Tang Lin? Tang Lin can't drink a drop of wine, because Yue Duo told him in advance and put room-temperature mineral water in front of him, let alone wine.
He was not allowed to drink. Zhao Hongbo had to say, "Doctor Yue, are you taking Tang Lin too seriously? Is it okay to drink red wine appropriately at this time?"
Yue Duo smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Zhao, I asked him to drink something he wouldn't drink himself. He is not completely discharged from the hospital now. He needs to be closely followed by a specialized doctor. He was discharged early just because he had too many things going on.
.However, his health is good, so his recovery is getting better and better."
Tang Lin took the initiative to pick up the mineral water in his hand, "This is the first time I have dinner with everyone at the same table. I have no choice but to use water instead of wine. Everyone, just count all the wine I drank with me today on Mr. Chu.
hehe"
He actually threw the pot directly to Chu Feifei.
He used this very cleverly. His actions proved that he had begun to adapt to the political environment of Shang and Tang Dynasties, and he began to represent the interests of Shang and Tang Dynasties.
And Chu Feifei instantly became the center of attention.
Chu Feifei was unhurried. She had already drank two cups of yellow mushroom soup before, and her stomach was full. Tang Lin pushed the pot to her, but she didn't seem to care.
"I didn't expect that there is such a good place in Shangtang. This should be the first surprise that Shangtang has given me. So since Tang Lin said so, I will have a little drink with you today."
Her statement was also very measured, and she cleverly explained that her impression was not bad, giving everyone a piece of relief, and then emphasized again that she was definitely doing this to give Tang Lin face.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even bother to deal with the boastful Yue Qing.
The banquet has just begun, and at the same time, Tang Lin and Chu Feifei's entourage are also eating at the next table, but they are more practical. They only eat food, meat, and drink. Don't dream, they all take turns eating.
The only two people at their table who were eating easily were Liang Shuang and Zuo Lun.
Logically speaking, Revolver should definitely be at the main table, and strictly speaking Liang Shuang should also be there. But they all firmly rejected Yue Qing's kind invitation.
Did Yue Qing only see Chu Feifei? Of course not, Liang Shuang had already entered his sight, wasn't he tempted? No, of course he was tempted, but the meal had to be stuttered, and the women had to come one by one, huh, it's a misfortune and a blessing.
On the other hand, Tang Lin is here, and so is his luck!
