260: Turns out she'd met a gigolo.

Two days later, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a City-wide Economic Commendation Meeting. Lin Zifeng and Xu Minghao attended as representatives.

Yushu County's harvest was the greatest among all districts and counties in Chunhua City. Under Lin Zifeng's instruction, Xu Minghao went on stage five times to receive plaques and prize money.

In addition to the spiritual rewards, Yushu County also received ten million in prize money.

After the meeting ended, Lin Zifeng and Xu Minghao, who had prepared in advance, took local specialties from Yushu County to visit the Municipal Leaders respectively.

They followed Yushu County's practice from previous years, using the excuse of reporting on work to pay early New Year visits to the Municipal Leaders.

Of course, they still maintained Lin Zifeng's previous approach, controlling the price of each local specialty within two hundred yuan. This had cost the Yushu County Party Committee Office a lot of effort.

The members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee were also used to Yushu County's practice, and most of them accepted gladly.

Only Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming said nothing to their faces, but after Xu Minghao left, while curling their lips in their hearts, they casually gave these local specialties to their secretaries.

That night, Lin Zifeng and Xu Minghao did not leave because the two had already discussed in advance that they would invite Wan Guoliang to dinner, and they also invited Zhang Yuhan.

Both of them had come from Yushu County. To be honest, the achievements Yushu County made this year were also thanks to the two of them.

That's why the two chose to treat them to dinner that night to express their gratitude!

As the evening lights came on, the group of four sat in a Private Room of a hotel, with Wang Zhongyu busy serving them, coming in and out.

The four talked while drinking tea. Since Wan Guoliang and Zhang Yuhan were both Cadres who had come from Yushu County and all four had worked together for several years, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them. They spoke freely and relaxedly like old friends.

"Secretary Wan, Minister Zhang, for our Yushu County's GDP to take the lead and reach the top of the City Level this year, it's inseparable from the contributions of you two leaders!

Although you two leaders have been promoted to work in the City Level, the Cadres and masses of the whole county will not forget your hard work and dedication to Yushu County.

Today, County Mayor Minghao and I, as representatives of the whole county, have prepared a simple meal to express our gratitude to you two! I hope you two leaders enjoy yourselves."

After the food and wine were served, Lin Zifeng raised his glass and said.

Xu Minghao also raised his glass. "Leaders, Yushu County's results today are inseparable from you two.

Secretary Zifeng and I toast to you both."

The two raised their glasses, and after the four clinked glasses, they drank it all in one gulp.

After putting down the wine glass, Wan Guoliang spoke first, "Secretary Zifeng, County Mayor Minghao, for Yushu County's annual GDP to rank first, Minister Zhang and I both share the honor.

We look forward to Yushu County achieving even better results and creating more glory under your leadership in the future."

"Secretary Wan is right. We are all Cadres who came from Yushu County. Seeing Yushu County achieve such brilliant results brings honor to our faces as well.

I didn't expect Secretary Zifeng and County Mayor Minghao to still think of me; it truly touches my heart.

I wish our Yushu County gets better and better and creates more great achievements."

Zhang Yuhan said these words with a sincere face and then directly raised her glass, showing that women are no less than men.

The three quickly raised their glasses in response, and the four drank it all again.

Looking at Wang Zhongyu who was quickly pouring wine for the four, Zhang Yuhan spoke again, "Zhongyu, after pouring the wine, sit down! Secretary Wan and I are not outsiders; we feel a sense of closeness seeing Comrades from our Yushu County. You should sit down and have a few drinks too!"

Wang Zhongyu quickly glanced at Lin Zifeng. Seeing Lin Zifeng nod slightly, Wang Zhongyu then hurriedly said, "Thank you, Minister Zhang." Only then did he sit at the end of the table.

They toasted each other, and the atmosphere was quite good. After three rounds of drinks and halfway through the banquet, they left for the restroom one after another.

When Lin Zifeng walked out of the restroom, a very familiar voice rang out in the corridor.

"Director Liu, I really can't handle much alcohol. If I drink more, I'll be drunk. Please go back to the Private Room! Just say I've had too much and have already left."

"Section Chief Chen, Director Zhang is Mayor Qian's Secretary. Offending Director Zhang is equivalent to offending Mayor Qian. You must think this through clearly!"

A middle-aged man's voice rang out in a low tone.

Lin Zifeng looked toward the sound and saw Chen Xin Xin standing not far away, with the middle-aged man she called Director Liu standing beside her.

At the same time he saw them, Chen Xin Xin also saw him. Their eyes met. Chen Xin Xin was stunned, her eyes filled with surprise and complex emotions.

Director Liu followed Chen Xin Xin's gaze and saw Lin Zifeng, asking in confusion, "Section Chief Chen, do you know him?"

Chen Xin Xin nodded and walked toward Lin Zifeng, and Lin Zifeng also went to meet her.

"What a coincidence?" the two said in unison. Then they both smiled slightly, shook hands tacitly, and said at the same time, "Long time no see."

At this time, Director Liu came over and asked, "Section Chief Chen, this is?"

Chen Xin Xin quickly introduced, "Director Liu, this is my classmate, Secretary Lin of Yushu County.

Secretary Lin, this is Director Liu of our Municipal Education Bureau."

Hearing Chen Xin Xin's introduction, Liu Shengli thought to himself that Chen Xin Xin was only a deputy section level Cadre, so her classmate would at most be a section chief level Cadre.

The other party was likely a township Secretary or just a Deputy Secretary. Although he was a Deputy Director, he was a deputy section-level Cadre, so he immediately felt a sense of superiority and just nodded with a smile.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Lin Zifeng also just nodded and didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, he looked at Chen Xin Xin and said, "I see you've had quite a bit to drink tonight. Since you'll be drunk if you drink more, then just leave!

It's not very safe for a girl to get drunk. Is someone forcing you to drink with them?"

Hearing Lin Zifeng's words, Chen Xin Xin felt a warmth in her heart. Just as Liu Shengli was about to speak, an arrogant voice rang out from behind the three of them.

"I was wondering why it took so long to go to the restroom; it turns out you met a gigolo here.

No one is forcing Section Chief Chen to drink here, but I haven't had my fill yet. If anyone leaves early, they're not giving me, Zhang Yancheng, face.

No one is stopping you here. Section Chief Chen, why don't you try leaving?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yancheng arrived beside the three of them. But when he saw Lin Zifeng's face clearly, he froze on the spot.

He didn't expect the person appearing before him to be Lin Zifeng. Just now, he hadn't seen Lin Zifeng clearly, which was why he had spoken so boastfully.

He was Qian Yushu's Secretary. Although Lin Zifeng and Qian Yushu didn't interact much, they had had contact. As Qian Yushu's Secretary, how could he not recognize Lin Zifeng, this rising political star?
