If it were in a remote place, maybe someone wouldn't know Du Qingchen's name when it was mentioned.
But this is Baonan City, which is less than a hundred kilometers away from the capital. It is too close. What happens in the capital can be hidden from the ordinary people here, but not from the leaders in the city.
Maybe they don't know much, but they definitely know how famous Du Qingchen is now, no, how scary he should be.
Rumor has it that the four major families in the capital want to please him. There was an earthquake in the political arena some time ago, and even Wen Jiangong resigned. It is said that Du Qingchen did all this.
But now, Zhao Tianhao is willing to be his follower, which speaks volumes.
Therefore, when they heard that the legendary Du Qingchen actually stood in front of everyone, no one doubted his identity, and his speaking momentum was something that no one else could imitate, not to mention that they knew Zhao Tianhao.
Everyone looked shocked, no, in awe, as if they had seen a ghost.
After Ma Jinfeng finished speaking, she suddenly found that everyone's expressions were abnormal. She was a little scared and said uneasily: "Um, did I say the wrong thing?"
"No, no, old man, you have been wronged today. I didn't expect that you are still Mr. Du's mother-in-law. We are too negligent. If we had known that it was you, old man, we would have received you well no matter what. Let's do this.
, Old man, in order to express our apologies, it is now time for dinner. I would like to invite you to have a casual meal with Mr. Du. You must give me this face. Otherwise, I will feel too proud and too conceited.
I'm sorry."
Zhang Xingliang was very smart and knew that it would be difficult to invite Du Qingchen to a meal, so he decided to give Ma Jinfeng the idea.
He could see that Ma Jinfeng didn't seem to know his son-in-law at all.
Du Qingchen frowned slightly.
Ma Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Being valued so highly by a city leader put her in a good mood and her vanity was greatly satisfied. She also noticed Du Qingchen's expression and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Okay, okay, it's just too expensive for you. How about I treat you?"
Du Qingchen even thought it was too rare.
Ma Jinfeng is a typical miser. It is really rare for her to spend money to treat guests. The sun is almost shining in the west.
What he didn't know was that for Ma Jinfeng, if he really had to choose between money and vanity, he would definitely put vanity first.
She has been thinking about money all her life, because she has no money. Why does she want money? Because she wants face, wants others to envy and respect her. Isn't it just to satisfy her vanity?
However, how could Zhang Xingliang dare to let her spend money? Being able to invite Du Qingchen was the key. As for spending money, it didn't matter whether the government would pay for it or he would.
Today, something like this happened on his territory, and he was really worried.
Sooner or later, this matter will easily get out. How many people are paying attention to Du Qingchen's every move, and once this matter gets out, the consequences will be terrible.
How many people are trying every means to please Du Qingchen now? Regardless of whether Du Qingchen really relieves his anger today, people will think that he has not relieved his anger, and then they will help him vent his anger. Who can he vent his anger on?
No matter who he was venting his anger on, Zhang Xingliang's life was not easy.
Therefore, he must serve Du Qingchen well and let the outside world know that he and Du Qingchen had dinner together and had a pleasant conversation. This would stop those people's mouths and no one would trouble him, not even his opponents.
When we deal with him again, we must also consider Du Qingchen's factor.
Maybe it won't really bring him much benefit, but now he doesn't seek merit, but no fault.
"How can I ask you to spend money? You have been wronged in our Baonan City. It is because we have not done a good job. We must satisfy you. Mr. Du, look, why don't we go have a meal together?
Let’s have a casual meal.”
Zhang Xingliang asked Du Qingchen cautiously.
Before Du Qingchen could speak, Ma Jinfeng spoke for Zhang Xingliang first.
"Xiao Du, you see how enthusiastic Mr. Zhang is. Let's go. Mom is hungry too."
sweat……
Du Qingchen glanced at Zhang Xingliang, feeling that the latter felt guilty, but he could only laugh along with him.
He knew what Zhang Xingliang had in mind, but he didn't really take it to heart. It's understandable. If you really want to talk about it, what happened today has little to do with Zhang Xingliang.
Tourist attractions, this situation is actually common across the country. If you really want to make changes, you must be cautious and cautious. It is not as easy to make a decision as you think. Du Qingchen and Zhao Tianhao are here today. If it were anyone else, he would also
I don't think he would be so ruthless and high-profile about it.
It can be regarded as borrowing the east wind from Du Qingchen.
"All right."
Du Qingchen finally agreed.
Zhang Xingliang was so good that he actually invited Ma Jinfeng to his car, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Xingliang started making phone calls to make arrangements.
Du Qingchen and Zhao Tianhao were in a car, and the latter's bodyguards also followed. As for the three treasure appraisers, they said they had to go back beforehand.
A convoy, with members of the Law Enforcement Association in front of them clearing the way, soon arrived at the best hotel in Baonan City, where they received an emergency call from Zhang Xingliang and had the best and largest box vacated in time.
The owner of the hotel brought people to greet us at the gate early.
When he came to the box and sat down, Du Qingchen noticed that the president of the Industry and Commerce Association and the president of the Law Enforcement Association were not there. They were probably dealing with today's matters.
The rest are the deputy mayors of the Baonan City Government and the presidents of several associations. To put it bluntly, these are the only ones who call the shots in the entire Baonan City.
Naturally, with the arrangement of good wine and food, this kind of treatment, even if the head of state comes, it will not be better than this.
During the dinner, Zhang Xingliang respected Du Qingchen, but he did not dare to be too enthusiastic. He only toasted one glass of wine, which he did. Du Qingchen was casual, and later he did not dare to toast again.
He had heard a lot of rumors about Du Qingchen. He felt that people like Du Qingchen hated trouble, so if he tried to fawn over with excessive enthusiasm, it would not be effective. It would be better to spend his energy on Ma Jinfeng.
As long as Ma Jinfeng is happy, Du Qingchen will be done with it.
Didn't Du Qingchen rely on Ma Jinfeng for everything along the way? For her sake, he drove all the way from the capital and caused such a big fight.
I have to say that Zhang Xingliang’s strategy is right.
He did not take the initiative to fawn over, but instead made Du Qingchen feel much more comfortable. He and Zhao Tianhao chatted quietly while drinking and eating, as if they didn't care about the officials in front of them at all.
Seeing that Zhang Xingliang was so kind to the old lady, several leaders around him followed suit. Everyone toasted a glass of wine to Du Qingchen and Zhao Tianhao, and then focused their attention on Ma Jinfeng.
Ma Jinfeng, on the other hand, was a little carried away and kept smiling from ear to ear.
