Chapter 2726

Su Wenjun said, "We don't need to rest. We came by car the whole way, so we're not tired."

Su Xinghui looked at Lu Xiaoya, and Lu Xiaoya also said she wasn't tired. So, Su Xinghui said, "Alright, then let's go eat together?"

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Su Xinghui's mobile phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Bian Shuangxi. He said to Su Xinghui, "Deputy Mayor Su, I have already booked a table at the municipal government guesthouse. I will come over to pick you up immediately."

Only then did Su Xinghui know that Bian Shuangxi had gone to book the meal. But he was also a bit puzzled: Bian Shuangxi wanted to book a meal at the municipal government guesthouse; couldn't he just make a phone call? Why did he have to go there in person?

But he didn't think too much and said, "Alright, then come over."

It just so happened that his family, plus Xia Song, couldn't fit in one car, so it was very appropriate for Bian Shuangxi to come and pick them up.

Bian Shuangxi came over quickly. He went downstairs with Su Xinghui's group and said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, why don't you ride in the same car as me."

Su Xinghui knew Bian Shuangxi must have something to say to him. He nodded, let Xia Song drive the Audi to take his family to the municipal government guesthouse, and he got into Zhang Heping's car.

Bian Shuangxi sat in the front passenger seat and let Zhang Heping start the car. He turned back to Su Xinghui and said, "Mayor Su, just now Mayor Wei heard that your family had arrived, and he said he wanted to welcome them, so today's meal was arranged by Mayor Wei."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Then thank you, Mayor Wei."

Bian Shuangxi added, "By the way, Mayor Su, just now Secretary Gu was discussing matters with Mayor Wei. He knew your family had arrived, so he also took the initiative to say he wanted to attend this welcoming banquet."

Secretary Gu? Su Xinghui knew that Bian Shuangxi was probably referring to Gu Aimin, the Secretary of the Baozhou Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Director of the Baozhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Gu Aimin also wanted to attend this welcoming banquet; this was interesting.

Of course, he wouldn't believe that Gu Aimin just happened to be discussing matters with Wei Ziming. This must be because he had heard about the scamming incident that happened just now, which was why he made such a gesture. After all, this matter was related to the public security system he managed.

Of course, Su Xinghui couldn't object to Gu Aimin attending. He nodded and said, "Alright, I know."

Before long, the car drove to the municipal government guesthouse. Bian Shuangxi welcomed Su Xinghui's family into a luxury private room. Wei Ziming and Gu Aimin were both sitting in the room. Seeing Su Xinghui's family enter, they quickly stood up to welcome them.

Even if it wasn't for Su Xinghui's sake, they had to do this. Lu Xiaoya's father was a provincial governor; did they dare to neglect them?

Wei Ziming welcomed Su Wenjun and said, "You must be Physician Su, Deputy Mayor Su's father, right?"

Su Wenjun nodded and said, "Yes, I am Su Wenjun."

Su Xinghui introduced, "Dad, this is our Baozhou Mayor Wei."

Su Wenjun shook Wei Ziming's hand and said, "Hello, Mayor Wei!"

Su Xinghui also introduced Gu Aimin's identity. The two of them also exchanged greetings with Su Xinghui's family one by one, especially when greeting Lu Xiaoya, their attitude was somewhat respectful. After all, Lu Xiaoya's father's rank was much higher than theirs, which made them have to be respectful.

If Su Xinghui were an ordinary Deputy Mayor, Gu Aimin might not have attended this welcoming banquet in person today. But the matter involved Lu Xiaoya, so he had to attend. If he didn't explain this matter, offending a provincial governor—even if not the governor of Yanbei Province—would be enough for him to suffer.

After the greetings, everyone sat down as guests and hosts. Bian Shuangxi asked the waiter to serve the dishes quickly. He opened the Maotai liquor and started pouring for everyone present. Wei Ziming said with a spring breeze on his face, "Physician Su, Accountant Guo, Section Chief Lu, you are honored guests. If there is any poor hospitality today, please forgive me!"

Su Wenjun said, "We are already very grateful!"

Guo Suhua also said, "Thank you, Mayor Wei!"

If it were other fathers, seeing their son's leaders, they would inevitably have to say their son was young and inexperienced and ask the leaders to take care of him. But Su Xinghui was different; he was already a leading cadre himself, so such words must never be said. He had also warned Guo Suhua on the way, so both of them just said thank you.

Gu Aimin said generously, "Today I will accompany Physician Su and Mayor Su to have a few drinks!"
