Chapter 1287

Zhao Tong said, "Secretary Xue, I have delivered the person to you now, so I will go back first."

Xue Xingyuan said, "How can that be? It's almost time to eat. Let's go, let's go eat."

Zhao Tong naturally just said that. He was, of course, going to eat before going back. Otherwise, it would take another two hours to get back to Yulin; where would he go to eat?

He took the opportunity to nod, "Fine, then I will eat a working meal before going back."

Xue Xingyuan shouted loudly, "Little Wang, Little Wang."

A middle-aged man in his forties came out of an office next door. Xue Xingyuan said, "Little Wang, tell County Magistrate Ling, Secretary Li, and Minister Xu to go to the County Party Committee Guest House to eat. Section Chief Zhao from the Municipal Organization Department has brought a rotated cadre. You go with us later; we will go first."

This middle-aged man in his forties was the Director of the County Party Committee Office, Wang Yuwen, who was also a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. Yet Xue Xingyuan called him "Little Wang" in a carefree manner. Of course, Wang Yuwen was more than ten years younger than Xue Xingyuan, so calling him "Little Wang" was acceptable, but this also reflected his tyranny in Changshan County and his lack of respect for other members of the leadership team.

Of course, there was a reason for this. Wang Yuwen started as the Director of the County Party Committee Guest House, doing the work of serving people. He was able to become the Director of the County Party Committee Office because he was promoted by Xue Xingyuan. Moreover, the Director of the County Party Committee Office was equivalent to the County Party Secretary's chief steward, so Xue Xingyuan would call him that. For other members of the team, he generally wouldn't call them that.

Wang Yuwen didn't take offense to Xue Xingyuan's way of addressing him. He nodded in agreement, then called a driver to go down and drive for Xue Xingyuan, called the County Party Committee Guest House to have them prepare a table of food and wine, and then went to notify the people Xue Xingyuan had named.

Xue Xingyuan didn't say anything else. He went downstairs first, got into the Santana, and went to the County Party Committee Guest House. Zhao Tong and Su Xinghui still sat in the jeep, followed behind the Santana, and arrived at the County Party Committee Guest House.

The County Party Committee Guest House was not far from the County Party Committee compound. It was a six-story building, which was the tallest building in the Changshan County seat. This was also normal; they often had to receive superior leaders here. When some leaders came, they had many staff members who all had to stay here. Building a few more floors and having a few more rooms here was a realistic need.

Moreover, the county leaders basically all had long-term rooms here, which basically occupied one floor.

Xue Xingyuan got out of the car and walked straight into the guest house with his head held high. Su Xinghui got out of the car and looked at the County Party Committee Guest House. This building looked gray and unremarkable from the outside, but when he walked into the lobby of the guest house, he discovered that there was a different world inside.

The lobby of the guest house was decorated quite luxuriously. Just that luxurious crystal chandelier hanging down in the middle of the lobby—Su Xinghui estimated the price wouldn't be less than tens of thousands of yuan. However, Su Xinghui was not surprised at all. Even in a nationally impoverished county, those county leaders wouldn't make themselves suffer, not to mention that the County Party Committee Guest House also had to entertain superior leaders.

The Director of the Guest House was already waiting in the lobby. Seeing Xue Xingyuan arrive, he bowed his waist and bent his knees, trying to make himself appear shorter. That appearance looked quite comical. He was over 1.7 meters tall, which was considered quite tall, but when he did this, he appeared even shorter than Xue Xingyuan.

Only then did Su Xinghui understand why Xue Xingyuan was so dissatisfied with him just now. It was because of this reason. In this instant, an idiom that popped into his mind was "cringing and bowing." This idiom was simply too vivid; it was completely tailor-made for this Guest House Director.

The Director said to Xue Xingyuan, "Secretary Xue, the private room has been prepared, and the dishes are almost ready. Do you need any special dishes?"

Xue Xingyuan waved his hand with great momentum, "Just serve the dishes I usually like to eat. For wine, serve a case of Maotai. Section Chief Zhao is an honored guest; our county must entertain him well!"
