Chapter 1499: TCM Showdown
ying a tax in kind' before coming down." 。Suddenly, Xiao Zheng seemed to have an epiphany. Could it be that Chen Hong insisted on doing that with him only after he came out because she was worried abo...The secretary of the provincial committee, Ye Sujing, is personally coming to invite him to dinner! Xiao Zheng obviously felt that this treatment was a bit high! As the secretary of the municipal party committee in a prefecture-level city, it's not easy to invite a standing member and secretary of the provincial committee, Ye Sujing, to dinner. At least he should make an appointment in advance, right However, Ye Sujing took the initiative to come over and invite Xiao Zheng to have lunch!
It's just that Xiao Zheng is already eating now, so he said: "Secretary Ye, thank you very much for your concern" >>> 。However, I've already eaten, and Mr. Secretary General, you have a busy schedule, don't worry about me, just a simple bite is enough for me. 。Yè Sùjīng originally didn't want to bother with Xiāo Zhēng's meals. These days, her "trigeminal neuralgia" hadn't weakened at all, leaving her extremely exhausted. 。 。"It seems like I called a bit late." 。Yè Sùjīng said, "Where did you eat" Xiāo Zhēng looked at the private room and didn't hide it: "I ate at the restaurant in the Meili Hotel." 。"Ye Sujing asked again, 'By yourself' Xiao Zheng glanced at Zhao Yunyan and then frankly said, 'No, the deputy general manager of the hotel invited me to dinner. We met during the typhoon relief effort before, and we happened to bump into each other today. General Manager Zhao was very kind and insisted on treating me to a meal.'" 。"Then I shall obey!" Ye Sujing said, "Is that so Would my presence inconvenience you" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yinyan, who also smiled slightly at him. 。Xiao Zheng thought, Ye Sujing was so enthusiastic about having lunch with him, there must be a reason. 。If she doesn't come, it would be as if I had something to hide, especially since I'm currently having dinner with a young and beautiful hotel deputy general manager. This could easily lead to misunderstandings by Ye Sujing. 。Moreover, Xiao Zheng and Zhao Yuyan had said almost everything they wanted to say, and with only half the meal eaten, Xiao Zheng said: "Alright, let's go to the top-floor restaurant." He had not paid much attention when he came in earlier. Zhao Yuyan immediately said, "Lan Yue," and Xiao Zheng remembered: "The private room is Lan Yue." 。"Ye Sujing said: 'It'll be there in ten minutes.'" 。So fast It takes more than this amount of time to get from the Provincial Committee to Meili Hotel, not to mention at this mealtime! This shows that when Ye Sujing called me, she was almost there. 。It seems that Secretary Ye is determined to treat me to a meal today. 。Xiao Zheng then said to Zhao Yunyan, "Zhao Zong, I'm sorry, a leader also said he wanted to come to dinner. 。“Aren't you supposed to treat me to a meal” Zhao Yinyan’s eyes twinkled mischievously. In fact, as the deputy manager of the hotel, Zhao Yinyan usually displayed more professional enthusiasm and rarely showed this playful side, but it had a unique intimacy to it. 。Xiao Zheng just smiled and said: "You can say that, but I said I've already eaten >>> 。< >But the Secretary-General, Ke Ye, said that she would arrive shortly. < > 。I can only borrow this meal from you, and let Secretary Ye join us as well. 。"Zhao Yinyan said, 'This couldn't be better. Ye Sujing, the secretary-general, is someone close to the provincial Party secretary. Usually, our boss has to book a meeting with her long in advance and she might even cancel at the last minute.'" 。To my surprise, she came in person to invite you to dinner. 。"It seems Secretary Xiao is truly not an ordinary person!""Where, where!" Xiao Zheng said modestly, "I'm just afraid that Secretary Ye will assign me tasks." 。I guess not 。If a leader really wants to assign a task, they usually call you over directly and wouldn't go out of their way to invite you to dinner. 。"Zhao Yunya guessed, and said, 'Should I invite our boss out'" No need, Xiao Zheng said, 'If we let your boss come out too, there will be more people at this dinner party, and it will become more official. I still hope it's casual and simple.'" 。"Zhao Yunyan smiled and said:
"Then I'd be honored to comply." 。Zhao Yunya guessed pretty well. Ye Sujing wasn't here to assign tasks to Xiao Zheng, it was because the provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi said that Xiao Zheng had once accompanied him in a helicopter during a life-or-death situation at the Meili Hotel. Today, he went to see the renovated Meili Hotel. Originally, Xiong Qi wanted to come personally, but because of a meeting he couldn't make time, so he asked Ye Sujing to accompany him for a meal. 。Ye Sujing knew that Xiong Qi's act of boarding a helicopter to save people was no small matter. At the time, only Xiao Zheng accompanied him! Today, Xiong Qi specially asked Ye Sujing to accompany him, it should be to tell her that he would remember those who had lived and died with him, right Although it was for Ye Sujing to accompany Xiao Zheng, Xiong Qi's actions were actually done for Ye Sujing to see!
Ye Sujing is a smart woman, considering this meaning of Xiong Qi's, she must accompany Xiao Zheng to eat this meal. 。Unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng has a good social circle. The deputy general manager of Mei Li Hotel is already inviting him out to dinner. 。However, Ye Sujing still had to come, otherwise, the task that Xiong Qi had been entrusted with would be considered unfulfilled. 。In less than seven minutes, Ye Sujing, wearing black high heels, a white-bottom blue striped shirt and navy wide-leg trousers, arrived at the "Lan Yue" restaurant on the top floor. As she shook hands with Xiao Zheng and Zhao Yunyan, she smiled and said: "There are beautiful scenery outside the window, beautiful people inside the window, and delicious food on the table. Secretary Xiao is truly enjoying the beauty of life." 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'Here comes another beautiful woman, even more alluring than the last. I estimate I won't need to eat.'" 。Xiao Zheng doesn't usually joke around, but when Ye Sujing walked in and teased him, Xiao Zheng almost instinctively retorted. 。。Ye Sujing, hearing Xiao Zheng say that she was beautiful, couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart. Could it be that at this "beauty fading" age of mine, I still had attraction for someone as young as Xiao Zheng Of course, this thought only flashed by. She said: "Secretary Xiao, don't joke with me like that. I'm this age, what kind of beauty am I" Xiao Zheng retorted:
“Director Ye, I’m not joking! Beauty has nothing to do with age, moreover, your current charm is incomparable to young women!” Although Xiao Zheng's words had the suspicion of flattering Ye Sujing, they were also true. Ye Sujing must have been a beauty when she was younger, and now her charm remained undiminished. 。As a female leader, Ye Sujing was naturally accustomed to flattery. She had heard similar words to those spoken by Xiao Zheng before. 。It was believable coming from Xiao Zheng, but she inexplicably found it very credible. 。Although Xiao Zheng didn't belong to her faction, he was almost always associated with the tags of pragmatism, justice, bravery, and serving the people. Therefore, what he said differed from others and carried more weight. 。Yè Sùjīng couldn't help but laugh: "To be recognized by Secretary Xiao, I'm also a little bit elated!"
Xiāo Zhēng said: "This feeling of elation might not be because of my words, but because of this building with over a hundred floors Secretary Yè, please sit down." 。Ye Sujing glanced at Zhao Yunyao and Xiao Zheng, then said, "Then I'll just join you for dinner!" Zhao Yunyao replied, "Secretary Ye, please don't be so polite. We usually wouldn't dare to ask you." 。
The three people chatted while eating. 。
Downstairs, the agenda for the Chinese Medicine Exchange Conference is underway. This morning, some theoretical discussions were held. Zhang Huan, a professor and leader of the TCM University, gave a keynote speech. Su Menglan also spoke on behalf of Master Zhou Muyun. On the nameplate in front of Su Menglan, there were two lines of text. The top line read "Zhou Muyun Project Partner", and the bottom line read "Su Menglan". 。Now that the agenda is finished, the meeting has arranged a buffet lunch. After lunch, there will be an afternoon nap, followed by more in-depth discussions this afternoon. 。Su Menglan felt that the previous exchange was quite standard, and it managed to express some of Master Zhou Muyun's main thoughts on Traditional Chinese Medicine. 。Of course, if Zhou Muyun came in person, he would certainly be able to explain it better. However, in this kind of conference setting, Zhou Muyun probably wouldn't attend for the rest of his life. But some viewpoints and thoughts also need to be known by the most cutting-edge medical professionals, so Su Menglan was sent here. 。In fact, in such formal occasions, many medical experts don't speak plainly. Su Menglan isn't fond of it either, but entrusted by her master, she had to bite the bullet and attend! Su Menglan wasn't in a hurry; after the meeting adjourned, she slowly sorted through her materials and put them into her canvas bag before planning to leisurely head to the cafeteria. 。At that moment, a voice spoke to her, "Are you Zhou Muyun's apprentice"
Su Menglan turned around and saw four people standing a few steps away. The one in the front was an elderly man wearing a blue linen high-necked shirt. The others behind him were dressed in suits and casual clothes. 。Su Menglan naturally knew this elder. He was Dr. Zhang Huan, who had once served as a leader at the Traditional Chinese Medicine University. Now he should still be serving as the chief consultant of the university's Advisory Committee. From his eyes, Su Menglan saw a look of superiority. 。Su Menglan had heard about the grievances between her master, Zhou Muyun, and Zhang Huan. She knew that her master had been suppressed by Zhang Huan and forced to leave the capital. 。Su Menglan naturally didn't have a good impression of Zhang Huan, but as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Su Menglan had her own upbringing. She politely said: "Yes, Doctor Zhang" 。
Zhang Huan sneered coldly. 。At this time, the person beside Zhang Huan, who should be his subordinate, asked Su Menglan: "Why, Zhou Muyun doesn't even dare to attend the meeting now Has he left Huating and become worse at medicine"
"You might be thinking too much" 。“Su Menglan smiled faintly, her voice as cold as ice, “My master isn’t afraid to come, he just deems it beneath him.” 。She didn't say much to them either. She slung her canvas bag over her shoulder and said to Zhang Huan, "Doctor Zhang, if there's nothing else, I'm going to eat," and then she walked out of the conference room. 。At this moment, Zhang Huan suddenly shouted from behind, "Wait a minute!"agistrate in charge of agriculture is very likely to become a standing deputy county magistrate in the future. 。"This is definitely correct, many government officials are in charge of agriculture. " 。...
