Chapter 198

Su Xinghui listened to this female voice, which sounded like Xue Qin's. He stood up and walked to the door of the private room to take a look. Sure enough, it was Xue Qin outside, and beside her were all the members of the Meng Hu Ling Township Tax Station. It seemed they were welcoming Xue Qin now.

Su Xinghui called out: "Xue Qin."

Xue Qin turned her head, saw Su Xinghui, and said pleasantly: "Su Xinghui, you're eating here too!"

Su Xinghui nodded: "Yes, I'm eating with a colleague. Why don't you guys join our table?"

A middle-aged man around fifty standing on Xue Qin's left laughed: "Little Xue, do you know Director Su?"

Xue Qin said: "Su Xinghui is my classmate!"

This middle-aged man was Wang Yuze, the director of the Meng Hu Ling Township Tax Station. Su Xinghui said to Wang Yuze: "Director Wang, there are only two of us in the private room, why don't you guys join our table?"

Wang Yuze said: "Since Little Xue has no objections, let's join the table."

Peng Kehong also came out and said to Wang Yuze: "Director Wang, I invited Director Su to dinner today. Since we ran into each other, let's join together, my treat!"

Wang Yuze brought a few people from the tax station into the private room, sat down, and said: "I can't let you treat. Today is our station's welcome banquet for Deputy Director Xue, it's on the station, you can treat next time if there's an opportunity."

Peng Kehong said: "How can that be? I invited Director Su today. If you guys treat, wouldn't it show that I'm not sincere?"

Su Xinghui said: "Peng Kehong, let's listen to Director Wang today. I know your sincerity."

Running into Xue Qin and the others eating here made Su Xinghui breathe a long sigh of relief. The feeling of eating alone with Peng Kehong made his scalp tingle just thinking about it. He hated this guy too much. Next time Peng Kehong wanted to eat alone with him, he wouldn't agree no matter what.

Because Peng Kehong had ordered the dishes in advance, Zhang Pangzi's wife started serving them quickly. Wang Yuze asked Peng Kehong what dishes he had ordered, and then he added two more dishes.

Peng Kehong took the initiative to open the bottle of liquor and started pouring drinks for everyone.

Besides Wang Yuze and Xue Qin, there were two other people in the tax station, a man and a woman. The man's name was Qi Hui, in his thirties, and the woman's name was Tang Yu, in her twenties. Both were locals. Peng Kehong poured white liquor for the men present and asked Zhang Pangzi's wife to bring a can of Jianlibao for Xue Qin and Tang Yu each.

Wang Yuze picked up his glass and said to Xue Qin: "Deputy Director Xue, come, I'll toast you, welcoming you to work in Meng Hu Ling. Having a business expert like you with skilled business come to our station makes our station's combat effectiveness even stronger!"

Xue Qin picked up her glass and said: "Director Wang, don't say that. I'm still young and this is my first time working at the grassroots level. I still need to learn from you in many aspects. I hope you won't hesitate to teach me!"

Xue Qin's humble attitude made Wang Yuze very happy. He drank a glass with Xue Qin with a beaming face.

Peng Kehong diligently poured liquor for Wang Yuze.

Su Xinghui raised his glass to Wang Yuze: "Director Wang, come, I'll toast you, hoping you'll look after my old classmate!"

Wang Yuze said: "Director Su, look at what you're saying. Even if you didn't say it, I couldn't treat Little Xue badly. It's really not easy for a city girl to be willing to come to our poor mountain gully!" ===== CHAPTER 200 =====
