Mu Xiaotian returned to Dujiang to report to Mu Xinhua that Meng Jinxing had resigned as director of the High-tech Industrial Park Management Committee, and at the same time proposed that he would take on this position himself. Mu Xinhua frowned and fell into thought on the spot.

…

Meng Jinxing, Mu Yuansheng and Tokugawa's deputy general manager Qiu Xiangnan took an early morning flight to Beijing. Under Huang Yiyuan's arrangement, they went to Mingshi Hui in Chaoyang that night.

Ming Shi Hui is an international club that was established only one year ago. It was formerly a community club operating company. A wealthy man who was one of the company members had a whim and wanted to bring together elites from major cities in the country, so Ming Shi Hui was born.

Huang Yiyuan's car was parked in an alley that Meng Jinxing couldn't name. There were many high-end vehicles vaguely parked in the deep and bottomless alley. The tall gray courtyard walls on both sides were topped with glazed tiles, and thick old trees were overturned.

Through the wall, the dim street lights formed thick shadows on the ground, and the dark red courtyard door was hidden behind the branches and was very inconspicuous.

Huang Yiyuan walked in the front, followed by Meng Jinxing who was lagging behind. Qiu Xiangnan sandwiched Mu Yuansheng in the middle. The four of them walked up the steps outside the courtyard gate one after another. As soon as they stood still, the heavy courtyard door creaked.

Slowly opening the space that only allowed one person to enter and exit, a young man in a black dress appeared at the door and bowed politely to Huang Yiyuan, who was standing at the front.

Huang Yiyuan handed over a black card. The young man took the card and stepped aside to make way. Mu, Meng, and Qiu filed in behind Huang Yiyuan, and the door closed dullly behind them.

There was a world of difference between the inside and outside of the door. The lights were warm and bright. As Meng Jinxing walked along, wherever he looked, he saw green pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, as if he was in an old palace.

The four people's leather shoes made a crisp sound on the ground, making a long-lasting echo in the quiet courtyard, making Meng Jinxing feel strangely uneasy.

After passing through the antique lobby, Huang Yiyuan led three people up the wooden stairs, escaped through the long corridor on the second floor, and entered a private room at the east end.

The private room is divided into two parts: inside and outside. The outer room is a lounge, and the inner room is divided into two rooms: a dining room where you can watch a play by the window and a guest room where you can drink tea and meet guests.

When the four of them arrived, the private room was empty.

"Sit down for a while, the three leaders will arrive shortly." Huang Yiyuan greeted.

The waiter came in and served tea quickly, then quickly left without saying a word.

Although Meng Jinxing once studied in Yanjing and went to Beijing for business countless times, this was the first time he had seen a place like Mingshihui.

Mu Yuansheng and Qiu Xiangnan were obviously more familiar with such an environment than he was, or at least had seen such occasions. They naturally passed cigarettes to each other, sat down and started puffing away.

Half an hour later, Liu Zhan showed up first, accompanied by Xu Fei, deputy director of the Foreign Investment Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and Lin Guodong, deputy director of the Urban and Rural Planning Department of the Ministry of Construction.

The guests have all arrived, the dishes and drinks are being served one after another, and the waiters are like invisible people, coming and leaving quietly, and even the door closes without making a sound.

The extraordinary environment of being a famous official put a kind of inexplicable pressure on Meng Jinxing, but due to the appearance of Liu Zhan, Meng Jinxing felt much more relaxed.

Even so, this meal was still eaten in a strict manner. Mu Yuansheng, including Mu Yuansheng, was extremely cautious when eating, drinking and speaking, and did not dare to go beyond the rules.

From the beginning to the end, everyone was talking about the cultural landscape of Dujiang. No one mentioned the inspection, and no one talked about Lanzhi High-tech Industrial Park’s application as a national development zone.

At the middle of the banquet, the quintessence of Chinese culture was performed on the stage downstairs. Liu Zhan and the other three sat in front of the window and shook their heads while the quintessence of Chinese culture was being performed on the stage downstairs. Sometimes they closed their eyes to listen, sometimes they sang along with them, and they were in a state of intoxication.

Meng Jinxing really had a new perspective, and for the first time he knew that there was such a consumption method in Sijiu City. He couldn't help but sigh that he was really ignorant in the past.

After the two excerpts were played, the wine and food were gone, the host and guest stood up and left their seats. Mu Yuansheng carefully whispered in Liu Zhan's ear. Meng Jinxing, who was two or three steps away, only saw Liu Zhan nodding with a smile, and Mu Yuansheng

With a wink at Huang Yiyuan, several people gathered around the three Beijing leaders and left the private room together, went downstairs, walked out of the lobby, crossed the corridor and winding bridge, and entered an exquisite courtyard.

As soon as Meng Jinxing stepped into the arched courtyard door, a faint fragrance hit his face, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo slowly entered his ears, and he felt a sense of tranquility and comfort all over his body.

Looking up, this is a typical courtyard house, with four wing rooms on the east and west sides, and the main hall in the middle.

The waiter introduced Liu Zhan, Xu Fei and Lin Guodong into three wing rooms on the east side respectively. Qiu Xiangnan followed Huang Yiyuan into the hall, and soon came out together, and entered a wing room on the fourth side with Meng Jinxing and Mu Yuansheng.

After entering the wing, Meng Jinxing discovered that it was actually a massage room.

However, the four of them had to pay attention to the movements of Liu Zhan and the others at all times. No one enjoyed the service here. Instead, they each found a sofa to sit down, smoking cigarettes and closing their eyes to relax, not even bothering to say anything.

Two hours later, Liu Zhan and others came out of the massage room. Qiu Xiangnan went to check out. Huang, Mu and Meng saw Liu Zhan and others out of Mingshi first.

After Liu Zhan got in the car, he lowered the window and waved to Meng Jinxing, "Jinxing, come home for breakfast tomorrow morning. Qin Wan knows you are here and wants to see you."

"Okay." Meng Jinxing agreed with a smile.

Watching the three cars driving out of the alley, Meng Jinxing and others let out a long sigh of relief. This meal was quite tiring!

"Is everyone gone?" Qiu Xiangnan came out after paying the bill and asked.

Mu Yuansheng got into Huang Yiyuan's car. Meng Jinxing nodded to Qiu Xiangnan and said, "We're all gone. Let's go to the hotel to rest."

Qiu Xiangnan approached him and lowered his voice: "Mom, I spent more than 30,000 yuan this night, not counting the gifts that were put in their trunk!"

Meng Jinxing was really stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, considering the environment of a famous official and the drinks he drank, the price should be almost the same.

He sighed secretly and patted Qiu Xiangnan on the shoulder, and they got into the car together.

He felt heartbroken just thinking about the loss of more than 30,000 yuan. This was the income of an ordinary farmer in Lanzhi in five years!

Liu Zhan's image instantly collapsed in his heart.

…

The next day, Meng Jinxing got up early, took Qin Wanhua's favorite local products, and went to Liu Zhan's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the cheerful laughter of children, and Meng Jinxing's heart immediately beat wildly.

Sure enough, when Qin Wanhua appeared, she was holding a fat and white boy in her arms. It was the son he and Liu Aijiao gave birth to after a night of bad luck.

"Xiao Fengfeng, look, who's here?" Qin Wanhua hugged the child and greeted Meng Jinxing, "Jinxing, come and see, your godson has teeth!"

Meng Jinxing stepped forward with a smile, raised his hand to wipe away the drool that kept dripping from the child's mouth, and asked Qin Wanhua: "Sister, has the child been named?"

"Well, Liu Feng, his nickname is Feng Feng." Qin Wanhua said, "Come in quickly! Old Liu has already gotten up, and dinner will be served soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhan walked out. Meng Jinxing stepped forward to greet them and entered the restaurant with the couple.

The Liu family's breakfast was a simple traditional breakfast. The baby was taken to breastfeed by the nanny. Meng Jinxing, Liu Zhan and his wife finished breakfast without saying a word. After the aunt had cleared away the tableware, the three of them chatted a little about home affairs.

Qin Wanhua cared about her child. Not only did she never leave Liu Feng, but she couldn't sit still for only three to five minutes. She asked Liu Zhan to chat with Meng Jinxing while she went to the child's room by herself.

Liu Zhan seemed to be in a good mood. He handed a cigarette to Meng Jinxing and asked, "Promoted to executive deputy?"

Meng Jinxing nodded, "The burden is too early. I'm really worried that I will do something wrong."

"It's never too early to take on the burden!" Liu Zhan said, "Let me give you a thorough explanation. I may go to the southwest."

"real?"

Meng Jinxing asked, and his mind flashed back to the last time he came to Beijing, Liu Zhan's expression when he mentioned Luo Min's possible transfer, and finally understood why Liu Zhan said that it would not have any impact on him!

Liu Zhan smiled and said, "Before I take office, I will take care of the affairs of your high-tech park! After you go back, you will spend more time on the construction of the park. I hope you can set a good front for me in Lanzhi!"

Liu Zhan's trust should have excited Meng Jinxing, but Meng Jinxing felt a little awkward in his heart from time to time without even knowing why.

"What, no confidence?" Liu Zhan saw something strange in him.

"I really don't have much confidence." Meng Jinxing simply said, "I am just a deputy county magistrate. Many tasks still have to be carried out according to the decisions of city and county leaders, and I cannot implement them according to my own ideas."

Liu Zhan laughed and said, "You kid, you want to ask me for power right away!"

"I don't mean that." Meng Jinxing said with a playful smile.

"You, you have a lot of thoughts, don't pretend to be in front of me!" Liu Zhan said, "Mrs. Zhu praised you a lot in front of me. Song Wan also mentioned you when she came to Beijing two days ago. It shows that you have done a lot of work. If you still

Without confidence, all your work will be in vain!"

Meng Jinxing suddenly felt his heart sink.

He did not expect that what Liu Zhan said about "building a good front line" actually meant circle building.

This was another discovery that surprised him. As his relationship with Liu Zhan gradually deepened, Liu Zhan revealed more and more of his true nature in front of him, making him feel more and more reluctant to face it.

He felt that there was a huge gap between Liu Zhan in front of him and Luo Min, from his thoughts to his words and deeds.

He hoped he had misread Liu Zhan.

Because Liu Zhan's driver arrived, the conversation between Meng Jinxing and Liu Zhan stopped.

Meng Jinxing originally wanted to leave at the same time, but Qin Wanhua changed her clothes and came out and asked Meng Jinxing to go with her to the newspaper office, "...Xiaowan told me about the relocation of your industrial enterprise to the south. There are many highlights in it.

I hope we can help report it. Since you and Yuan Sheng are here, why not take our reporters down with you and follow up for interviews."

Meng Jinxing was extremely surprised that Song Wan did so much behind the scenes. He hoped that Song Wan did all this at the request of her husband Mu Yuansheng, not because of him.

Because he saved Ma Wenlong, Meng Jinxing formed a friendship with Kang Yue from Shuguang Newspaper. When he followed Qin Wanhua to the newspaper office, he went to Kang Yue first. The two hugged and shook hands, and talked about each other's recent situation before they got together.

Went to Qin Wanhua's office.
