i Cuihua's legs trembled; even her own i Family didn't stand by her—
Luo Chao and the two leaders had a few drinks together, and he suddenly rembered Hao Nianhua, Yan Bingxi, Lin Dongcheng, and Feng Jie, who had helped earlier. He called out loudly, "President Hao, President Yan, Director Lin, Director Feng, co over and have a couple of drinks!"
Upon hearing Luo Chao's call, and seeing no objections from the two secretaries, Hao Nianhua, Yan Bingxi, Lin Dongcheng, and Feng Jie eagerly ran over. Having a drink with the secretaries was a great privilege.
As the leaders and two presidents were toasting each other, Long Zhenguo asked with a smile, "I want to know, who brought Luo Chao here?"
Earlier, they all stood up, each claiming credit for bringing Luo Chao in. It was so confusing that no one could tell who was truly responsible. Intrigued, Secretary Long wanted to solve the mystery, and Secretary Lan was also listening intently.
Why were they all eager to claim they brought Luo Chao in? Because they wanted to show support for Luo Chao, anyone could see that! But this situation scared quite a few people.
When they looked at each other, Lin Dongcheng raised his hand sheepishly and said, "It was !"
"So it was Dongcheng," Long Zhenguo and Lan Guoming laughed heartily.
Lin Dongcheng nodded, "Well, I happened to run into Luo Chao at the entrance, so I brought him in. Initially, I thought he wanted to get closer to Qin Han, but it turns out he's Qin Han's nephew."
Not far off, Qin Han, hearing Lin Dongcheng's words, blushed and gave a wry smile—
The corner table that was initially the most inconspicuous had now beco the center of attention. All guests were observing Secretary Long and Secretary Lan, and even more so the absolute main character of the evening—Luo Chao!
No one knew what this young man nad Luo Chao did to garner such admiration from the secretaries. Given the chance, they all resolved to curry favor with him in the future.
While everyone was plotting, i Cuihua stood up slowly, approached Qin Yuzhen, and sighed, "Sister, it was all my fault in the past. I hope you won't hold it against ?"
i Cuihua admitted defeat, a complete and utter defeat. For the sake of the i Family and herself, she needed to ease tensions with Qin Yuzhen.
"Do you deserve to be my sister-in-law?" Qin Yuzhen sneered. She could forgive others and let it slide, but not i Cuihua. i Cuihua had not only acted arrogantly and independently but had also continually oppressed her brother, leaving him with no status at ho and cutting off contact with the Qin Family for over 20 years. If not for Luo Chao's presence and her thick skin to co today, she might have been thrown out.
Thus, Qin Yuzhen could not forgive this vicious woman!
i Cuihua's face turned pale, and she stepped back two steps, her face devoid of color. Without Qin Yuzhen's forgiveness, Luo Chao would definitely not let her comfortably continue as the Director of the Environntal Protection Bureau!
Though the position of Director of the Environntal Protection Bureau was relatively leisurely, it was still a city-level rank, prestigious when ntioned. Hence, i Cuihua was quite satisfied at the mont.
However, i Cuihua knew that with Luo Chao's ans, he could easily dethrone her. Terrified, she trembled and then fainted.
Seeing Director i fainting, everyone sighed inwardly, thinking, Director i, are you blind? Not currying favor with such a promising figure like the Lu Family and even humiliating them? If you don't court death, you won't die!
"Luo Chao!" Qin Yuzhen, holding Qin Rui, walked over, and Luo Chao quickly said, "Secretary Long, Secretary Lan, this is my mother."
Long Zhenguo and Lan Guoming were slightly taken aback, unsure of how to address Qin Yuzhen, as she was about the sa age as them, and calling her Aunt or Madam seed inappropriate.
"Ahem!" Long Zhenguo and Lan Guoming lightly cleared their throats, "Madam Lu, nice to et you!"
Qin Yuzhen said nervously, "Secretary Long, Secretary Lan, nice to et you!" The leaders were extrely cordial, but Qin Yuzhen felt quite pressured; after all, their ranks were too high.
Lin Dongcheng, Feng Jie, and the presidents of the two groups, Yan and Hao, also stood up warmly, "Madam Lu, nice to et you!"
"Nice to et you all!" Qin Yuzhen was overwheld by the presence of these prominent figures. After finishing speaking, she slightly bowed and was about to discuss sothing with Luo Chao, when Luo Chao said with a smile, "Mom, I heard everything you said to the i Family earlier; I know what to do."
Qin Yuzhen was taken aback, and Luo Chao smiled at Secretary Long and Secretary Lan, "I believe Secretary Long and Secretary Lan will handle this fairly."
Secretary Long nodded, "Madam Lu, don't worry, Secretary Lan and I know what to do," and Secretary Lan smiled and nodded.
Luo Chao thought to himself, indeed, my mother is too soft-hearted. If I didn't have a good relationship with Secretary Lan and Secretary Long, we would definitely have had to use force tonight.
"Thank you," Qin Yuzhen smiled, "Enjoy your al, I'll go catch up with my brother."
After Qin Yuzhen left, Lan Guoming marveled, "Lu Brother, you're not young, yet your drinking capacity is impressive. We're almost drunk, but you're as if nothing happened."
They enjoyed chatting with Luo Chao, continuously toasting him, and Luo Chao drank the most, yet seed unfazed, as if he grew up in a vat of alcohol.
"I bet none of us combined can drink more than him. We'll have to engage in another battle of three hundred rounds next ti," Long Zhenguo downed the last of his drink and exclaid exuberantly.
Lan Guoming laughed, "Let's rest and recuperate, and then challenge Lu Brother again!"
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a bit intoxicated, and no banquet lasts forever. It was ti to go ho. Luo Chao laughed, "I'll accompany you all the way!"
With that said, Secretary Lan and Secretary Long stood up, followed by Lin Dongcheng, Feng Jie, Hao Nianhua, and Yan Bingxi, who struggled to stand upright. They knew they couldn't drive ho and called for rides.
Luo Chao assisted the two secretaries downstairs. Seeing the two big leaders depart, everyone began to leave as well, reflecting on an unforgettable night that was genuinely worth it.
After sending Secretary Long off, Lan Guoming asked quietly in Luo Chao's ear, "Lu Brother, have you seen Lanya recently?"
Luo Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed, shaking his head, "I haven't seen her in days; what's up with Lanya?"
