Chapter 38: Raising an Eyebrow and Exhaling (Seeking Collection and Recommendations!)

  Thanks for 'Gu Zhu Yu Jian' for the reward! Yang Jie has booked next month's monthly ticket! Please ask everyone to throw the guaranteed monthly ticket to Yang Jie, thank you all!

  "Lao Lei, you two teams are running a special fund, which is equivalent to spending twice the money to do one thing. This is not cost-effective! Your secretary and county magistrate must have eaten gunpowder." Lin Houwen knew that Deng Zixiang was trying to give Lei Shuping trouble, and he was very disdainful in his heart.

  "There's no way around it, this matter is also related to the city, it can be said that a single hair moves and the whole body responds, we are also helpless."

  Luo Yuancheng and Zhang Daxian couldn't have been unaware that sending two groups of people to the province would result in a loss of funds, but since it was a major matter, they had no choice but to do so.

  "Alright! I understand what's going on now, and I'll fully support you in this matter. Let that County Head Deng see that the waters of Chengdu run deep, and it's not a place he can easily come to play around in!" Lin Houwen patted Lei Shuping's shoulder understandingly, seeing that everyone in the private room was almost ready, "Everyone has finished drinking, tonight we'll have a third round, no leaving until drunk!"

  Lei Shuping invited all deputy department-level cadres working in the provincial capital, basically they all have a dedicated car and driver, no need to arrange vehicles from the provincial office.

  Yang Jie and Zhou De accompanied many leaders down the stairs, came to the parking lot in the backyard, watched as the leaders got into their cars, and only then asked Lei Shuping to get into the car of the Provincial Office.

  Yang Jie took the car key handed over by Zhou Dequan, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove it out of the parking lot smoothly. He drove along Chunjiang Road towards Yanjiang Avenue, with a string of cars following behind him, forming a long dragon, making a grand departure for Lan Meng.

  Deng Zixiang smiled and accompanied the cadres he had invited to go downstairs after Zhu Jiangxin said that Lei Shuping and others had left. They got in their cars and drove towards Blue Dream KTV under Wang Qunsheng's leadership.

  Along the Yangtze River Road, cars and horses are flowing, people are crowded, and it's very lively. The Blue Dream KTV located here has a huge lighted sign on the top of the building, which can be seen from one kilometer away under the night sky.

  The closer you get to Blue Dream, the more you are intimidated by this high-end KTV with its vast space and luxurious atmosphere.

  In the parking lot of KTV building, many cars have already been parked. Yang Jie drove the Santana from the provincial government office and stopped at the entrance booth of the parking lot. He took out his membership card and handed it to the security guard, saying that the eight cars following him were all here to consume with him.

  The security guard verified Yang Jie's membership card information and confirmed that Yang Jie was a member of Blue Dream, then respectfully returned the membership card and parking card to Yang Jie. After receiving the parking card from the security guard, Yang Jie calmly drove his car into the parking lot.

  The parking lot in the garden in front of Blue Dream's main gate is only available to members of Blue Dream, while general customers who come to consume at Blue Dream can either park in the free underground parking lot under the building or go to a nearby paid parking lot.

  Watching the eight cars that followed closely, they took their cards and drove into the garden parking lot. The railing in front of the guard booth was lowered until all the cars were parked according to their parking spaces. Everyone got out of the car and looked at this garden parking lot, which was like a park, and was shocked by the grandeur of Lan Meng's brushwork.

  "Deng County Magistrate and his group have also arrived!" As soon as Zhou Dequan got off the car, he saw a special train from the Provincial Office following closely behind them.

  Yang Jie smiled lightly and said, "Just wait and see the excitement!"

  Zhou Dequan didn't know what was going on and saw Lei Shuping go to greet his friends, so he hurriedly stepped forward to arrange for the drivers of many leaders.

  Driving, Wang Qunsheng closely followed Yang Jie and the others, following the front car team to the garden parking lot entrance of Lan Meng KTV building. Looking at the railing next to the guard booth that was not raised, he thought about opening the window to let the security guard raise the railing, but saw two security guards wearing blue dream uniforms walking over.

  "Hello, please don't block the road. You can park your car in the underground parking lot under the Blue Dream Building or go to a nearby paid parking lot!" A security guard came forward and knocked on the window of Santana's driver's seat, saying to Wang Qunsheng who rolled down the window.

  "Isn't this parking lot still empty? Why can the car in front of us go in, but our car can't?" Wang Qunsheng and Zhu Jiangxin saw Yang Jie's car enter the parking lot with their own eyes, and when they couldn't get in, their tone suddenly became urgent.

  "This is a member parking lot, if you have a membership card, you can park your car in. If not, please park at the public parking lot downstairs and do not block the entrance of the parking lot." The security guard looked at the person with disdain, thinking that they didn't even know this was a member-only parking lot. Upon hearing Wang Qunsheng's blunt words, his face also darkened.

  Zhu Jiangxin opened the passenger door, got out of the car and looked at the security guards by the guard booth. "We are here to consume, we have already booked a private room on the third floor, why can't we park? What about this membership card, we will get one too!"

  Several security guards standing at the gate couldn't help but sneer, looking at Zhu Jiangxin and Deng Ziyang sitting in the back row rolling down the window, saying: "Want to apply for a Blue Dream membership card? Is your level vice-hall? Are your assets over 100 million? If not, hurry up and give way, there's another car coming behind."

  "Don't blame me for not warning you, the members of Blue Dream are not officials from the provincial city. You're blocking their way here, and even if we don't drive you away, you'll still end up with nothing good to gain. Hurry up and leave!"

  A KTV security guard is so arrogant, not putting Deng Ziqiang and others in his eyes at all. This kind of "no one in the eye" attitude has shaken Deng Ziqiang quite a bit.

  Listening to the continuous horn sounds coming from behind, Deng Zixiang knew that if they didn't give way, these security guards would definitely come up and take action. With a gloomy expression, he sternly said to Zhu Jiangxin: "Let the cars behind us back off, we'll park our car in the underground parking lot!"

  Looking not far away, Leishu Ping and others who were watching them make fun of each other, Deng Zixiang's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. Until the car left the garden parking lot and drove onto the main road to Blue Dream, after evading Leishu Ping and others' teasing gaze, he finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Lei Shuping and Lin Houwen watched Deng Zixiang and others leave in disarray, and couldn't help but smile. The slap from Lan Meng last night was enough to make Deng Zixiang hurt for a while. Looking at Yang Jie beside him, who was still calm and composed, Lei Shuping felt very satisfied.

  In the afternoon, they fought for a private room in the restaurant. In the evening, they made a scene at Lan Meng and embarrassed Deng Zixiang's group. All of this was Yang Jie's doing. If it weren't for Yang Jie, how could Lei Shuping show off in front of his old classmates?

  "Let's go to the main entrance of Blue Dream and wait! They should be arriving soon!" Lin Houwen looked at his watch, seeing that it was almost time for his appointment with friends, smiled and beckoned to the crowd that had been watching the commotion earlier, walking towards the main entrance of Blue Dream.

  Tang Ruhui and Lin Houxin invited friends, all of whom are officials from the Transportation Department. Although they were not from the Comprehensive Planning Division, they were also leaders from the Road Administration Division, Transport Management Division, and Construction Management Division. Only these few departments would have some work-related interactions with Tang Ruhui and Lin Houxin.

  "Director Lin, we're late, please forgive us!" A smiling Fang Jianan walked over with two middle-aged men from a distance, and hurriedly approached when he saw Tang Ruhui and Lin Houwen.

  "Director Tang, I didn't expect you to be with Director Lin! With so many leaders gathered at Blue Dream today, it can't be an old classmate reunion, right?"

  Hu Chunjiang and Zhu Yulong looked at Tang Ruhui with a smile, they also met Fang Jiannan in Blue Dream, seeing Tang Ruhui with Lin Houwen, only then did they know that everyone was coming to the same appointment.

  "Hu, Zhu, you were right. Today is indeed a grand reunion of old classmates." Tang Ruhui smiled and introduced them: "Let me introduce him to you. This is Lei Shuping, the deputy secretary of the county committee of Yongnian County and a member of the standing committee. He was our classmate at the Party School."

  "Lao Lei, this is Hu Chunjiang, Deputy Director of the Road Administration Bureau of the Transportation Department, and this is Zhu Yulong, Deputy Director of the Transportation Management Bureau." After Tang Ruhui introduced them to each other, Lin Houwen then introduced Fang Jiannan beside him to Lei Shuping, "Lao Lei, this is Fang Jiannan, Director of the Construction Management Bureau of the Transportation Department. If you need to repair roads, he's the one to look for."

  Fang Jian Nan heard this and smiled slightly, saying in a calm tone: "We are only responsible for guiding, supervising and accepting highway and waterway projects. Road repairs are not our responsibility, Old Lin, don't put a high hat on me, I can't bear it!"

  Lei Shuping shook hands with the three leaders of the Transportation Department one by one, saying "it's a pleasure to meet you" after which he said to Fang Jiansheng: "I hope that in the future Director Fang can often come to our county of Yuehe to guide our work!"

  "No problem, I'll definitely go if there's a chance!" Fang Jianan had a superficial smile on his face and didn't take Lei Shuping's words seriously.

  There are countless grassroots cadres like Lei Shuping who come to the province to run projects and ask for funding. Fang Jianan, although having limited power, has to entertain many such grassroots leaders every year, and he is already used to it.

  Fang Qun and other leaders working in the provincial capital, Tang Ruhui and Lin Houwen have not been introduced to several friends yet.

  When everyone got to know each other under the introduction of Tang Ruhui and Lin Houxin, Deng Zixiang and others also walked out of the underground parking lot of Lan Meng. Looking at Lei Shuping and others chatting in front of the gate of Lan Meng KTV, Deng Zixiang was very annoyed.

  Before he could get close, Lei Shuping and others followed Yang Jie to a small door not far from the entrance of Blue Dream KTV. Seeing this scene, Deng Zixiang couldn't help but look at Zhu Jiangxin and Wang Qunsheng, "Where are they going? Aren't they entering the hall?"

  "County Master Deng, we don't know either! We came to Blue Dream and all entered the hall from the main gate, never been to that side!" Wang Qunsheng was stunned upon hearing this, looked at the small door where Yang Jie and others disappeared, and scratched his head in confusion.
