Chapter 167 [Old Street 1919] (Part 1)

Qin Qing's beauty is the focus of attention. When senior leaders greet each other, she had already held Zuo Xiaoqing's hand and talked very well. She has been in the United States for many years, and Zuo Xiaoqing is studying in the United States. They have many common topics.

Zhang Daguanren could not participate in the conversation between senior leaders and could not disturb the secret conversation between girls. He could only say hello to Tian Bin. Both of them had no common language.

Tian Bin asked: "Come?"

Zhang Daguanren said, "Here you come!" and then he said nothing.

Zuo Yongjun invited everyone to take the seat. If the official position is based on the position, it should be the first place for Zuo Aidong, but the age should be Tian Qinglong. After some advice, Zuo Yongjun was still the first place, and the others sat down one by one.

Zhang Daren and Tian Bin sat at the mouth of the mat. I wonder if it was a coincidence that Zuo Xiaoqing was arranged to sit next to Zhang Yang. The little girl's eyes just met Zhang Yang, and her pretty face couldn't help but blushed to her ears.

These people are elite figures who have been involved in politics for many years. From their subtle performances, Li Changyu suddenly realized that today is not just a thank-you banquet, but why does it mean to meet the two parents!

Zuo Yongjun first expressed his gratitude to everyone present. He was not good at speaking, but everything he said was heartfelt and sincere.

Li Changyu smiled and said, "If you can get together, don't be so polite. In fact, we didn't help much. The main reason is that you have no problems yourself. The facts have proved your innocence."

Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "Changyu is right. Today is a day worth celebrating. Let's drink, don't mention unhappy things again." He took the initiative to approach Li Changyu. Li Changyu and Zuo Yuanchao drank two drinks. They had many opportunities to drink, but private communication like this is not common. Before Li Changyu was under double supervision, Li Changyu was the executive vice mayor. After him, Li Changyu's double supervision made Zuo Yuanchao aid to Korea, allowing Zuo Yuanchao to seize the opportunity to become the acting mayor of Jiangcheng. But now both of them have the opportunity to become mayors, and the competition between them cannot be avoided.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything on this occasion. He honestly toasted a circle of wine, and the only gain was that he met several relatives of Zuo Xiaoqing.

Qin Qing naturally saw the subtle feelings between Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing. When she first met Zhang Yang, she saw Zhang Yang kissing Zuo Xiaoqing in the rain. She felt a little regretful. If she had known this was the case tonight, she would not have come.

When the banquet was halfway through, Fang Wennan, the boss of Shengshi Group, came in to toast. He had just heard that these senior officials of the city government had visited his hotel. He was originally talking about business in the Emperor Shengshi, and rushed over in a panic.

Because of the Third Ring Road Project, Li Changyu and Fang Wennan have been in contact with him recently and are very familiar with him. He smiled and said, "Boss Fang is well-informed!"

Fang Wennan held the wine glass and said ashamed: "Several leaders are here, I hope we can forgive the ones who are slow!"

Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "We are an ordinary family dinner. If you come here to do this, it will disturb our atmosphere." He had always had some prejudice against Fang Wennan, so he naturally did not show any mercy in his words. Although he said this with a smile, the meaning of reprimand was already very obvious.

After all, Fang Wennan is a veteran who has been fighting in the mall for many years. He apologized and said, "Mayor Zuo is right. I came here uninvited and disturbed everyone's interest. Let's do this, I will punish myself for three glasses!" He asked the waiter to fill three glasses of wine and drank it in one breath.

Zhang Yang sighed in his heart that he would drink a glass of wine on weekdays and would not have thought that he would laugh at him well in the future if he saw his leader and his good grandson.

Fang Wennan also has his difficulties. He does not drink easily, but he cannot control himself when he comes to such an occasion. There are three members of the Standing Committee of the Jiang City Committee in this room. No matter who stamps his feet, Jiangcheng will have to shake. Do he dare not give others face?

Li Changyu knew Fang Wennan's alcohol tolerance and smiled and said, "Forget it, don't force it if you can't drink it. We mainly come here to talk to each other, not to fight for wine. Boss Fang is really kind. Go back and add two dishes to me in the special dishes of your fish and rice town!"

Fang Wennan nodded with a smile. He couldn't even invite these people on weekdays. Not to mention adding dishes, he wouldn't charge any money for this table of food. He came to Zhang Yang and patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Yang and I are friends who can talk about everything. If you have any instructions, just tell Zhang Yang. I will correct the dissatisfaction with you immediately!" After saying that, he dismissed everyone and left the door. Fang Wennan's words were quite pleasing. He emphasized that the relationship with Zhang Yang not only showed the friendship between them, but also put himself and Zhang Yang in the same position. Most of the people present were Zhang Yang's elders. Fang Wennan was sincere enough and willing to regard himself as his nephews. This is his shrewdness.

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Zhang Yang quietly. When Zhang Yang was easily dealing with everyone, she found that Zhang Yang had changed a lot compared to when she was in Chunyang. This change was so huge that the shadow in her memory began to become blurred. She didn't know why she felt this way.

When Zhang Yang toasted Zuo Yongjun, Zuo Yongjun did not say much, but just patted him on the shoulder, and his appreciation and gratitude for Zhang Yang were gone.

The atmosphere of the dinner was harmonious and joyful. Although Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu had their own thoughts, they were able to hide themselves well on such occasions. This was hypocrisy and a quality. At least on the surface, Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu seemed very friendly, and were as kind as a pair of good friends who could talk about everything. Zuo Yuanchao mentioned the Third Ring Road Project because of Fang Wennan's appearance.

Li Changyu briefly explained the preparations for the project to him, and everything was going well.

Zuo Yuanchao was still a little uncomfortable when he heard him say this. He thought that he mentioned the third ring road project, but Hong Weiji arranged it to Li Changyu to use Li Changyu to restrain himself. Zuo Yuanchao understood that before the next election, he had to show outstanding political achievements and must not be compared by Li Changyu. Only in this way can he get rid of the word "Person" in front of the mayor as he wished. At the beginning, he did not take Li Changyu into consideration, but as time went by, he found that Li Changyu was indeed a very thoughtful and capable person. Putting aside the reform entry point, Li Changyu unexpectedly stood opposite Hong Weiji in this matter, which was incredible to Zuo Yuanchao. But in Tian Qinglong's view, cadres like Li Changyu are independent, courageous and responsible.

The dinner ended at 9:30 and everyone broke up in front of the hotel. Although Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing sat together all night, they didn’t communicate much. When they broke up, Zhang Yang found the opportunity and said, “Will you stay for a while this time?”

Zuo Xiaoqing nodded: "More than a month..." She looked into the distance and whispered: "I will call you!" After that, she hurriedly chased her father.

After a while, only Qin Qing and Zhang Yang were left. Zhang Yang threw the car key in his hand and said, "Let's go! I'll give you it!"

Before Qin Qing could speak, she saw Fang Wennan coming towards them. She shook her head helplessly, asked Zhang Yang to get the car keys, and got into his jeep first.

Fang Wennan smiled.

Zhang Yang gave him a blank look: "Slavely! Flatter!"

Fang Wennan laughed even happier: "You must bow your head under the eaves! Let's go, I'll invite you to have a drink!"

Zhang Yang thought that this guy was so eye-catching. He originally planned to live with the beautiful county magistrate, but then he thought that Fang Wennan was not like this. He must have something to do with him, so he nodded and pointed to his jeep: "Get on the bus!"

"I'd better take my own car over here, Old Street 1919!"

"What?" Zhang Yang was slightly stunned.

Fang Wennan smiled and said, "Su Xiaohong has just been renovated and has not been open for business yet, go and feel it!"

Zhang Yang returned to the jeep and Qin Qing asked him to sit in the car. When he heard that he was going to drink, he couldn't help but frown: "I don't want to go!"

Zhang Yang patted her perky buttocks and said, "Be good! Su Xiaohong just opened a bar on the old street. Let's go and have a look. Secretary Qin will help me check my political achievements."

When Qin Qing heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile: "You! You will be accused of public service all day long. I will supervise whether you have violated laws and regulations." She started the engine and Zhang Yang's commander was really good. He had both power and comfort, and had a good vision. Even in the parking lot where luxury cars gathered in Yumi Township was quite eye-catching.

The reason why Su Xiaohong was able to take this place was mainly through Zhang Yang's relationship, but there was no unruly procedure. Fang Wennan and Su Xiaohong knew through a period of time with Zhang Yang that although this guy was cynical on the surface, they were actually very clear-headed. People were people who wanted to move upward, and ordinary interests could not impress him at all. If they cooperate with such people, they had to restrain themselves. Fang Wennan was also a person with a broad vision. If they reached a certain level of business, they had to comply with the rules. People who showed off their cleverness all day long, and those who played with the rules were destined not to last long.

Qin Qing and Zhang Yang walked off the jeep and found that the ground in the parking lot was paved with bluestone. The decoration style outside the bar was full of the style of old Shanghai. On both sides of the road leading to the gate, the street lights were all antique designs. The poster in front of the door was still from the beach, and the bar sign was also imitating the style of old Shanghai. Qin Qing began to have some interest and said softly: "I didn't expect Su Xiaohong to have some taste!"

Zhang Yang didn't realize there was anything special, so he looked at it and said, "It's just a pirated Shanghai Beach. What's special?"

Fang Wennan's Lincoln car drove into the parking lot. Su Xiaohong, wearing a red cheongsam, also walked out of the bar. She had dressed up today. Her hair was so hot that it was so wavy that it set off her oval face became more and more delicate. Her phoenix eyes were flowing with a charming look, and she said sweetly from afar: "Director Zhang is here!"

Qin Qing felt a little unhappy when he saw Su Xiaohong showing off his charm. He couldn't help but pinch Zhang Yang's arm. Zhang Daguanren endured the pain and smiled with a smile on his face: "Miss Su is so beautiful. This outfit looks like a person tonight!"

"who?"

"That Fang Yanyun in the beach!"

Su Xiaohong's pair of phoenix eyes widened and wide: "Tsk! Zhang Yang, you scolded me as a socialite!"

Fang Wennan's laughter sounded from behind: "Chen Zhang is praising you. Fang Yanyun is famous in Shanghai, and our Jiangcheng is not as good as Shanghai!"

The more Su Xiaohong heard it, the more uncomfortable she felt: "Why do you think I can't even compare to Fang Yanyun?" She glanced at Fang Wennan and said, "If I were Fang Yanyun, you would be Nie Datou!" She glanced at Zhang Yang again and said coquettishly: "Zhang Yang is Xu Wenqiang, Secretary Qin is Feng Chengcheng!" The joke was a little too big, and Fang Wennan coughed in a hurry, calling Zhang Yang and Qin Qing into the door.

Fortunately, Qin Qing was in a good mood tonight and pretended not to hear Su Xiaohong say anything.

Because the decoration has not been long, the interior still has some decoration flavor, but the decoration style inside is very good, with tables, chairs, benches, and bars and wine utensils all carefully arranged, successfully creating the atmosphere of the old Shanghai.

Su Xiaohong originally wanted to invite them to the private room, but Zhang Yang thought the smell was too big. Anyway, the bar was not officially open, and it was as quiet as sitting in the hall.

Su Xiaohong asked someone to have a bottle of xo. She also knew that Zhang Yang was not very interested in foreign wine, so she opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai for him and made a plate of peanuts. Qin Qing walked around the bar, returned to Zhang Yang's side and sat down, and said softly: "The decoration here is good. I see that the second place is as distinctive as in Pinghai."

Su Xiaohong was also quite proud. She took a sip of foreign wine and left a shallow lip mark on the glass: "Director Zhang asked my decoration style to conform to the style of the entire old street. This old street focuses on Sui and Tang culture. For this reason, I specifically asked Professor Qin." The professor Qin she mentioned was Qin Qing's father Qin Chuanliang, and was also the general consultant of the ancient city wall and the old street scenic area. This general consultant was sealed by Zhang Yang and did not have official approval.
