Xiao Kong secretly admired the secretary's calmness. He knew clearly that something would happen to him, but he was not impatient or impatient. His skill was definitely not comparable to that of those young men.

Xiaokong didn't wait for Song Chenglong to ask questions, and immediately said with a smile: "Secretary, a distinguished guest is here. I have just made arrangements for the municipal party committee hotel to make preparations. Now it depends on whether you have time?"

Song Chenglong said "Oh", looked at Xiao Kong with a smile, nodded and said: "Don't tell me who is coming, let me guess, well, you made arrangements directly without my instructions, this person must be

He is the person who must arrange meals, and he is an acquaintance, not a friend in the officialdom. Otherwise, he must follow the procedures and report to the Secretary-General.

"Then who is this person? There are not many people who meet the requirements. There is one old leader, Mayor Han, and one is Tingdong. Mayor Han cannot come alone. The old man is busy with her hospital now. Could it be?

Tingdong? But why didn’t this guy call me personally when he came, and why did he go around in circles? "

Kong Fanlai laughed: "Secretary, you are really good at predicting things. I don't dare to flatter you, but how could you guess so accurately? Director Jay Chou not only didn't call you, he also called me.

The phone call didn't say he was coming. Don't you know who he is? He is young, mature and steady, no less than those in their forties or fifties.

"If you were still a deputy, he would definitely not care and would come directly to see you. However, you are now the number one and have great influence. He himself is the number one private entrepreneur in the province. If he came directly,

Maybe the TV station and the newspaper will follow soon. Can he not worry about the impact it will have on you? So I guess the purpose of his visit this time is personal matter."

Next, he recounted the contents of Tingdong's phone call.

Song Chenglong thought about it and said: "Let's stay at home. Tingdong is here. Since he didn't call me directly, it's not like you said it was a business matter. He called you to test and see if I have any problems."

There is no time, otherwise, the headquarters of Yundong Food Company is on the outskirts of the city, why not go find them.

"This guy is so smart. He knows that when he comes to Changshan, I will not know it as soon as he shows up, so he comes to ask for directions, so I can avoid being found out later, haha! Don't stay in the hotel, just arrange it

At home, halal dishes are also delivered to my home. I spend money. Isn’t it considered special?

"In addition, since he has halal friends, we should also pay attention to it and tell the kitchen that all the dishes today are mainly beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish and aquatic products. No pork is allowed. Do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Chenglong's cell phone rang. It was his own cell phone, not the one kept by his secretary. Song Chenglong smiled: "You haven't replied for a long time. This kid has discovered a problem. He must have called me.

Already."

Song Chenglong didn't even look at the caller ID and directly pressed the answer button. He laughed and said, "You finally figured it out and wanted to give me a call?"

Tingdong coughed twice and said: "Uncle Song, I still underestimated Brother Kong's understanding of me, but seeing that he didn't reply for so long, I guessed that he must have known that I had arrived in Changshan. In order to avoid being scolded, so

……hey-hey!"

"You're smart, tell me where you are and how many people there are. I'll pick you up as soon as you come. Your Aunt Yazhi should be happier than me when I hear you're coming. I'll call her right away." Song

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he just wanted to put down the phone. Tingdong hurriedly said, Uncle Song, I have two more guests here, special guests. Is it convenient for me to bring them over?"

Song Chenglong was stunned: "What are you doing, kid? Your friends are my friends. What's the inconvenience?"

Tingdong pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Song, this is not a matter of impulse, it really requires caution. I am here as a lawyer this time, and I really want to come and go quietly so as not to disturb you.

"A friend of mine filed a lawsuit against her classmate's brother, and I provided them with legal aid. The parents of this family were living in very difficult circumstances, and her father also suffered from tuberculosis. According to common sense, I could definitely arrange for them to live in

Hotel, but I feel it is necessary to let you know the real situation below, but..."

Having said this, Tingdong suddenly paused and smiled: "Uncle Song, I'm overthinking it. Okay, there are four of us here. Please ask Brother Kong to come pick me up. I'm at Changshan Hotel."

Tingdong finally gave up the plan of taking Yunying's parents to the municipal party secretary's house for a banquet. It was not for other reasons. The old couple would definitely not be able to eat well if they went to the Song family. It was hard to say whether they would even dare to use chopsticks. Why let them go?

What kind of sin do you suffer?

If I want Uncle Song to understand the real situation below, can I explain it clearly?

The dinner at the Song family was very rich, and Cheng Yazhi was really happy to see Tingdong. She took Tingdong's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "I seem to be a little fatter, well, I should be stronger. He is so tall."

She's too thin and it's worrying. How are your parents? How about Mayor Han? We can't make her too tired."

Tingdong smiled: "Auntie, you have asked so many people, why don't you ask your own daughter? Wenli will be sad if she finds out, hehe!"

Cheng Yazhi gave Tingdong an angry look and said, "She has you taking care of her, so she doesn't need to take care of her. She doesn't even know how to call me. She's getting more and more wild."

The dinner was very sumptuous. This was the time when the wild vegetables were coming down, plus some exquisitely cooked beef and mutton, river fresh food, and seafood. It looked like a dazzling array of dishes.

Gu Li was very touched. She immediately understood the owner's intention. Not only did she prepare halal dishes for herself, but even the food they ate was cooked in halal ways.

After everyone was seated, Tingdong also introduced everyone. Apart from their husband and wife, only Kong Fan came to the Song family. This was a veritable family banquet.

Before Song Chenglong and Tingdong could speak, Gu Li stood up first, holding up the mineral water in her hand, her face flushed a little, and said sincerely: "Uncle Song, Aunt Yazhi, Brother Dong, Director Kong, and...

Everyone, Gu Li is rude, I want to say something first, and I hope you will allow me."

Song Chenglong smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Guli, sit down and say, we are having a family dinner, you and Tingdong are like our children, don't be restrained."

Tingdong also nodded encouragingly.

Bahargulli said excitedly: "What I want to say is that here, in this place far away from Muslims, I feel a strong family affection, which makes me feel like home again, so I want to give my uncle,

Auntie bows and thanks you for your love and care for Guli. This is not only a respect for me, but also for us Muslims, so I want to bow to everyone."

After saying that, Gu Li bowed deeply.

Song Chenglong waved his hand and said: "Xiao Guli, we are originally a family, but our customs and habits are different. As you know, Tingdong and my daughter Wenli are classmates. I regard Tingdong as my biological son.

You are his friends, you are also my children, you are welcome, just like at home."

Next, of course, Song Chenglong gave a simple welcome speech, and Tingdong also said a few words as a thank you.

Then, Tingdong explained the purpose of his visit and the difficult scene he saw at Cui Yunying's parents' house.

Song Chenglong pondered and didn't say anything. Kong Fan came to refill everyone's wine and said with a smile: "Dr. Jay, to be honest, the secretary noticed this situation just after he came over. He has gone to many places.

"It can be said that there are mountains, water and resources here. The reason why we are so poor is mainly due to people's concept issues, and the other is the inconvenience of transportation and communication."

Song Chenglong waved his hand and said: "Xiao Kong, don't defend us. No matter what the reasons are, our people still live in the thatched houses of twenty or thirty years ago. This is our dereliction of duty.

"My predecessor, Secretary Bai, did some things, including the introduction of Yundong Food Corporation and other investment promotion work, and achieved certain results. However, due to the weak infrastructure, Secretary Bai did not stay in Changshan very long.

It's been a long time, so he didn't finish some things.

"The next step is to vigorously develop infrastructure construction, increase investment attraction, and at the same time, as you said, guide farmers to establish business associations themselves and attract young people who have gone abroad to return home. This will be our main work direction.

"Of course, Tingdong, uncle knows that you have a way. You still have to help me as always, not to help me become an official or get promoted. Song Chenglong's ability to achieve the position of municipal party committee secretary has far exceeded my expectations.

Being satisfied both in terms of life and status and being able to do something for the people in a down-to-earth manner is my future life goal."

The meal lasted for more than an hour, and they parted happily. Cheng Yazhi stayed at Tingdong's house, but he declined because he still had some materials to read.

Back at the hotel, Guli was very excited. She sat in the Tingdong room drinking tea and refused to go back to the room. Yunying had gone back to her room to sleep long ago. She drank half a glass of wine and was a little dizzy.

Guli strictly abides by Muslim rules and does not drink a sip of wine.

Tingdong and Song Chenglong drank a bottle of liquor, which was almost as if they didn't drink at all.

Xiao Guli refilled Tingdong's tea cup and also added some water to her own cup. She brought her own cup and basically didn't use other people's water cups.

However, after pouring the water, she also laughed: "Brother Dong, do you think I'm funny for being so serious? In fact, living in this environment, some things can only be done carelessly. Just make sure you feel at ease.

If we really follow the teachings completely, we women will not be able to show our faces. However, there is nothing we can do now, times have changed.

"So, I don't want to go back to them, let alone go abroad. I hate my uncle and his friends. He talks about our country as useless and incites antagonism. However, they do it in front of my father.
