C1108 The Number One Figure
Liang's father quietly asked the director of the street office, "Director, who is this man with white hair?"
"I don't know. I only heard that he is a senior official from the province. He went down to the grassroots level to pay respects to the people. He passed by here and came over." The director of the street office shook his head. Liang's father asked again.
"Then who is that person next to Deputy Mayor Tan?"
"Are you asking about that middle-aged man?" Liang's father nodded, and then the director of the Street Administration said in surprise: "You don't even know about him? He is the mayor of Jinnan City, Secretary Huang!"
"Oh! I see... Thank you!" Liang's father wiped the sweat off his forehead and suddenly felt that he and his wife's behavior was very funny.
Even the mayor of Jinnan City had to accompany him personally. This white-haired leader should at least be at the same level as the Provincial Party Committee, right?
However, at this moment, he was shaking hands with Zhao Zhonghua without any pretentiousness. Normally, this official did not put on airs, but his tone was extremely sincere.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhonghua did not bow because of his status as a leader with white hair. Whether it was his tone or demeanor, it was the same as when he was eating with him at the dining table.
This meant that the two of them had to at least be on equal footing.
Didn't that mean...
"Elder Zhao! It's rare for you to come to West China this time, so I'll be the host. Call up two of our old classmates in Huaxi Province. We'll have a meal together then."
Zhao Zhonghua laughed loudly. "You'll have to be the host. I was the one to be the host the previous few times. You said you don't want me to treat you, and you have to pay me the meal fees. Until now, I haven't seen any money."
What?
He actually took the initiative to ask this big leader from the province to do the east? It was fine if this big leader said so. However, he did not expect Zhao Zhonghua to actually hit a snake with a stick. Not only that, but he also hit a snake with a stick. Although it was obvious that it was a joke, but to say it out loud in front of so many people was not light at all. It really wasn't something that ordinary people dared to imagine.
"Good! Good! I can't be bothered to give you the hundred dollars. I'll treat you guys to some good food this time. I owe you guys in the past. Return them all. " The white-haired leader laughed loudly. "But I didn't expect you to be so stingy, elder Zhao. Do you remember all this money? "
"Of course, I have to calculate it clearly."
Liu Rujun said from the side, "Old Li, don't listen to the nonsense of Zhonghua. It just so happens that it is mealtime now. Let's go into the house to eat, right?"
Cui Ping also quickly said, "Quick, quick, quick! Go in and eat. It is still warm!"
Secretary Li quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, no. There are too many of us. If we really go in and eat, won't we end up in your pots? I was just passing by. That's why I rushed over to see Elder Zhao. You guys eat! I won't disturb you. If I continue to disturb you, I'm afraid Elder Zhao will be unhappy later. Next time you meet me, you'll have to drink to your death."
Liang's father broke out in cold sweat when he heard this. It was always the leader who poured wine for his subordinates. His subordinates would always drink first as a sign of respect. Zhao Zhonghua, on the other hand, started to drink the wine of the leaders?
Zhao Zhonghua said sincerely, "Old Li, since you are already here, let's have a meal together!"
"No, really. I have to rush to some difficult families to take a look. I also have to give my condolences." Secretary Li also said sincerely, "After I have been busy for a while, I will really find time to play with you for two days. When the time comes, don't say you're too busy! "
"Since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept it!" Zhao Zhonghua did not continue to hold Secretary Li's courtesy and said to Secretary Li's secretary, "Little Chen, look at Secretary Li. Don't let him drink like crazy again."
"Okay, uncle Zhao, I will definitely look at Secretary Li." The secretary said. Obviously, he knew who Zhao Zhonghua was and also knew about the relationship between Zhao Zhonghua and Secretary Li. He was more respectful than when he faced Secretary Li.
However, the crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded.
When Secretary Li finally left with his men, the room calmed down.
Although it was only a short period of time, the shock it brought Liang's father and Liang's Mother was quite stimulating.
Liang's father and Liang's Mother's expressions became somewhat strange. Liang's Mother had something to say, but she did not dare to say it. Liang's father held the Sunflower Maotai that he thought was fake. Now, he could roughly guess that it was real.
"Cough cough..."
Liang's Mother coughed lightly and said, "My dear, where did we talk about just now?"
Cui Ping said, "We were talking about the betrothal ceremony just now."2
"Oh! Yes, yes, yes. Look, I almost forgot. It's like this. What was the betrothal I mentioned just now? "
"Thirty thousand."
"That can't be right! Why would I say thirty thousand? You must have misheard. We should have said three hundred thousand just now, right?! Yes, an outstanding girl like Mengmeng should be worth three hundred thousand no matter what."
Liang's Mother's change of heart was even faster than flipping a book!
Liang's father said, "That... Brother Zhao, who was that white-haired Secretary Li? He seems to be quite a big official."
Zhao Zhonghua said, "He is the number one Secretary Li of Huaxi Province."
"Number one?!" Obviously, Liang's father's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Being accompanied by Secretary Huang from the municipal committee proved that Secretary Li had an amazing background. However, Liang's father thought that no matter how powerful he was, he would at most be number three and five. He did not expect that he would be number one. It was indeed beyond his expectations!
"Number one? What number one?" Liang's Mother clearly did not have time to react and asked foolishly.
Cui Ping and Zhang Jianguo also looked at Zhao Zhonghua suspiciously. They only knew that the official who came just now was quite big, but they did not know what level it was.
Liang's father glared at his wife. "Provincial Party Committee No. 1, who else do you think it is?"
"Ah! Provincial... Provincial Party Committee Secretary?" Liang's Mother's mouth was wide open. She was so shocked that she could not speak. She did not have Liang's father's high sense of smell. When she saw Deputy Mayor Tan at that time, she thought that this Deputy Mayor Tan was... She was even proud of being able to know Deputy Mayor Tan, but she never would have thought that... In the crowd just now, deputy Mayor Tan could be considered to not have a big role.
At least compared to this Provincial Party Committee No. 1, the difference was a little too big!
However, just now, this number one figure in Huaxi Province actually spoke to Zhao Zhonghua like that. Then... what was Zhao Zhonghua's identity? It was a little exciting.
In fact, when they had just entered the house, Liang Wei's father and mother... They felt that Zhao Zhonghua and Liu Rujun's identities were not ordinary, especially their bearing, which could not be faked. However, Liu Rujun was wearing an apron when she was cooking in the kitchen. Zhao Zhonghua was helping Liu Rujun, so Liang's father and Liang's Mother automatically ignored the first feeling. She only thought that the two of them only had better temperaments. Actually, they did not have much background.
Never would he have thought that not only did they have a background, they actually had such a great background?
Even the Provincial Party Committee's First Chief was polite to him. It was simply...
