The environnt inside the Western restaurant was very quiet, so this sound was particularly noticeable.
After Song Kai heard this sound, he instinctively looked over.
What he saw directly shocked him. An elegant beauty in a dark blue cheongsam and a middle-aged man in a white shirt were walking towards them!
And Song Kai recognized these two people. One was the newly appointed municipal party secretary in the provincial capital, Gao Jinyu!
The other one was also soone significant, the municipal party secretary of the neighboring city, Liu Zhenmin!
At this mont, both were dressed in casual attire and appeared to be here for a al.
Seeing these two, Song Kai's eyes turned green, and he showed an expression of disbelief. Hastily, he stood up: "Secretary Gao, Secretary Liu, you two are also here for a al?"
Gao Jinyu had a calm expression and did not speak. Her gaze landed on Li Chuan, and after a fleeting look of surprise, she composed herself and feigned nonchalance: "Just having dinner. Is this your girlfriend?"
When Li Chuan saw Gao Jinyu, he also felt complicated. He smiled shyly: "Yes."
Liu Zhenmin looked at Song Kai, frowning: "And you are?"
Song Kai stood up in a fluster, looking sowhat uneasy: "Secretary Liu, Secretary Gao, my na is Song Kai, and I am the deputy chief of the Urban Planning Departnt in the provincial capital."
"Oh." Liu Zhenmin nodded, indifferent. Governnt employees are too many, and it's impossible for anyone to rember them all, especially since he oversees Jiangzhou City.
As for Gao Jinyu, she also appeared calm, though if she hadn't seen Li Chuan here, she wouldn't have co over.
At this mont, emotions arose in Gao Jinyu's heart as well. She hadn't expected to et Li Chuan here, the young man who once brought her extre joy.
Even more unexpected was that Liu Zhenmin also knew Li Chuan.
To ntion, she and Liu Zhenmin were still university classmates.
Liu Zhenmin ca to the provincial capital for a eting and decided to have a dinner together afterward. Recently, the Jianghu in the provincial capital had been unstable, and she wanted to learn a thing or two from Liu Zhenmin.
Just when Gao Jinyu was montarily dazed, Li Chuan suddenly said: "Deputy chief? Didn't you just say you were the chief? Why did you lie to us?"
At that mont, Song Kai's face was like he'd eaten a pile of shit, looking very upset.
Earlier, Li Chuan was flaunting, claiming to know Secretary Gao. Song Kai thought Li Chuan was bragging, but now, it seems, the man is genuinely impressive~!
Liu Zhenmin looked at Li Chuan and chuckled: "When I first entered the restaurant, I felt you looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Li. I just ca over to say hello, hope I didn't disturb you. By the way, today's al will be on ."
"Secretary Liu, how can that be? I'm here with friends; I can't let you spend money, no way, no way!" Song Kai said hurriedly, looking at Li Chuan with a face full of grievance, hoping Li Chuan would speak on his behalf. No matter what, the al cannot be on the secretary's tab. If Liu Zhenmin really pulled out his wallet, Song Kai's career would be effectively finished!
Song Kai didn't know exactly who Li Chuan was, but it was clear they weren't on the sa level. If Li Chuan wanted to harm him, it would be almost effortless!
He had no desire to be sent to the mountains to guard a reservoir!
Li Chuan could easily understand Song Kai's intention, feeling disdain but not wanting to fuss over soone insignificant. He laughed and said: "Secretary Liu, that won't do. Today, I'm planning to really fleece this bastard."
Sotis people are just that cheap. Although Li Chuan scolded him, Song Kai had a face full of enjoynt, a flattering smile: "Yes! Yes! Secretary Liu, I'm going to be fleeced by him sooner or later, so better early than late!"
"Also, let cover both of your als!"
This was a good opportunity to make an impression in front of the secretary, and he didn't want to let it slip away easily.
"No need, continue your al."
Liu Zhenmin looked at Li Chuan: "Mr. Li, I have a small favor to ask, may I?"
Li Chuan nodded: "Sure."
Then, Li Chuan followed Liu Zhenmin and Gao Jinyu into a private room. Perhaps to avoid any misunderstanding, Gao Jinyu had not spoken at all.
This left Li Chuan feeling sowhat disappointed.
He suddenly felt that Gao Jinyu and Huo Xiuxiu had sowhat similar personalities.
Liu Zhenmin said, "I'll be brief. Since the three major Jianghu forces from the provincial capital invaded Jiangzhou and failed, retreating to the provincial capital, the situation here has beco unstable. The Wild Wolf Gang is now a shadow of its forr self due to Wu Jincheng's death. Although the Jingwu Association and Black Dragon Sect haven't started fighting, their underlings are clashing more and more. Mr. Li, could you step up and take over the Jianghu in the provincial capital?"
Li Chuan hadn't expected Liu Zhenmin to make such a request, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Secretary Liu, you really think highly of ."
Liu Zhenmin: "If anyone could accomplish it, it would be you!"
Li Chuan looked at Gao Jinyu, her beautiful eyes were still quietly gazing at him.
Perhaps to prove himself in front of Gao Jinyu, Li Chuan suddenly said: "Alright!"
After a simple exchange, Li Chuan exited the room.
From beginning to end, Gao Jinyu hadn't said a word.
Once Li Chuan had left the private room, Gao Jinyu finally said indifferently: "Secretary Liu, do you really trust him that much?"
Liu Zhenmin smiled: "Secretary Gao, do you know the Nine-Headed Mountain Feng Shui Array in Jiangzhou City? He's the one who broke it!"
Gao Jinyu: "..."
"Unexpectedly, that guy really has so skills..."
Thinking of the passionate night she spent with Li Chuan, ripples of emotion stirred in Gao Jinyu's once calm heart...
...
When Li Chuan returned to the booth outside, Song Kai awkwardly got up: "Brother Li Chuan, I suddenly have sothing to attend to, so I'll leave first."
"Also, I've already settled the bill here."
"Right! Earlier, I offended Brother Li in many ways, I'll punish myself with three cups!" Saying this, Song Kai poured himself three glasses of wine, downed them in one gulp, and then hurriedly left.
There was no helping it, he truly had no face to continue staying.
After Song Kai left, Li Chuan looked at the table full of steak and pizza and couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Lu, why did you order so much steak?"
Chen Lu leaned closer to Li Chuan, whispering mischievously in his ear: "If you don't eat more, how can we continue to et up later tonight? Doing that kind of thing is quite taxing, right?"
Li Chuan was taken aback. Did Chen Lu really consider him her boyfriend?
"What? You dislike ?" Chen Lu showed a face full of grievance.
Li Chuan laughed: "No, it's just right, I'm hungry too!"
Saying this, Li Chuan started to eat the steak. Just thinking about being able to engage in Dual Cultivation with Chen Lu later made him a bit excited.
Chen Lu's face broke into a smile: "Look at you, so eager! Take your ti eating, no rush!"
"By the way, I didn't expect you really knew Secretary Gao and Secretary Liu. Just who are you?" Chen Lu asked curiously.
"? I'm the number one Divine Doctor in the world, I've treated Secretary Liu and Secretary Gao! When it cos to dical skills, if I claim to be second, no one would dare claim first!" Li Chuan boasted assertively.
"Are you addicted to boasting now?" Chen Lu laughed at being teased!
The two chatted while finishing the steak and then left the Western restaurant.
Once outside, Chen Lu seed a bit nervous: "Shall we go get a room now?"
