Jinxiu Jiangnan, as the flagship hotel of Lincheng's catering industry, naturally has many high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming to eat and drink here. Tang Yansheng, who holds financial power, is also a regular customer here.
Today, Tang Yansheng heard the most: "Tang Xingchang, oh my, you've lost a lot of weight! What's your weight loss secret? Do share!"
At this level, Tang Yansheng would not introduce Chen Zhiyuan's weight loss medicine to just anyone. Only a very small number of close friends were told about Chen Zhiyuan's medicine by Tang Yansheng, and these people also asked Tang Yansheng to contact Chen Zhiyuan again so they could buy some.
Tang Yansheng readily agreed, and today he's in high spirits. He went to the hospital for a check-up this morning and found that his cholesterol levels, which had always been high, were now normal. Even his blood pressure, which was usually a bit high, had dropped to a normal level. At his age, he couldn't help but feel that money and power weren't as important as they used to be when he was younger. What's the point of having those things if you're not in good health? A healthy body is what matters most; with it, you can go further in your career and truly enjoy the benefits that money brings.
Today, everyone at this dinner party can see that Caishen Tang Yansheng is in an extremely good mood. It's as if he's drinking without any worries, unlike his usual self who would be hesitant to drink due to health concerns. Among these masters of observing facial expressions and body language, how could they not seize the opportunity to persuade him to drink more and keep Caishen Tang company? With this, the loan will surely be settled.
The most popular toast, Tang Yansheng was a bit dizzy from drinking, and was supported by someone as he walked out of the private room. He looked up and saw Song Weiqing. In the past few days, the Lincheng political scene had been turbulent, with Zhao Jianguo being taken away for investigation, Zhao Ningyuan being arrested, and then members of the Zhao family falling one after another. Meanwhile, Song Weiqing, who was previously marginalized, quickly filled the vacant positions with his own loyalists. In just a few days, Lincheng had changed completely, becoming Song Weiqing's domain. As soon as Tang Yansheng saw Song Weiqing, he immediately sobered up and pushed away the people supporting him, walking over to say: "Secretary Song, you're also here for dinner!"
Song Weiqing's mood these days is even more optimistic and enthusiastic than Tang Yansheng. Seeing that the guy who used to be as fat as a ball has lost two sizes, and his belly, which was once comparable to an 8-month pregnant woman's, has shrunk significantly, he joked: "Old Tang, how did you get so tired out? Your life ring on your belly is gone!"
Tang Yansheng took a look at Song Weiqing's figure and was suddenly shocked. At the beginning, Chen Zhiyuan that kid said that Song Weiqing was also taking his medicine, and he himself had taken his medicine, the effect was incredibly good. But Song Weiqing's figure hadn't changed one bit, could it be that Chen Zhiyuan that kid was just bluffing him? Thinking of this, he blurted out: "You didn't take that medicine?" After finishing speaking, Tang Yansheng regretted a little, in the midst of a large crowd asking the municipal party secretary if he had taken the medicine or not? Isn't this openly letting everyone know that Secretary Song's body is not good? If this gets out, his opponents will use his physical condition to make trouble for him, and Song Weiqing will hate him to death. This drinking business is really a mistake.
Song Weiqing didn't think much of this and replied, "What medicine?"
He didn't need Song Weiqing to ask, he had to think of a way to talk about the medicine, and couldn't let Song Weiqing bear a grudge against him: "You see me getting thinner is all thanks to that junior you introduced last time, Chen Zhiyuan. He gave me some weight loss medicine, and after taking it, look at me now! I went for a check-up at the hospital today, and my blood lipids and pressure are all normal. I often hear you complaining about your belly, so I wanted to ask if you didn't get any of that weight loss medicine from Chen Zhiyuan? That medicine is great, no side effects at all! After taking it, my appetite even improved, and I can eat, but the weight just drops off!"
"Oh? So that's how it is. There's such a good thing, and this kid didn't even send me some first. This guy, I'll call him later to have some sent over. Alright, for now, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave!" Song Weiqing listened to Tang Yansheng explain the whole story, and became even more interested in Chen Zhiyuan. First, there was the roasted lamb he made, which tasted incredibly delicious. Then, this kid quietly obtained evidence of Zhao Jianguo's father and son's crimes, and also went to the hospital to perform surgery on someone. Now, he's come up with a weight loss drug? How many secrets does this kid have?"
Tang Yansheng's head was sweating, this wine is fully awake, Chen Zhiyuan this kid is not shallowly harmful, but listening to Song Secretary's tone, from the tone of Song Weiqing mentioning Chen Zhiyuan, this kid's relationship with Song Weiqing is really unusual. Forget it, fortunately, this matter didn't make a big fuss, first find that kid to buy some medicine, his own old brothers are also waiting for it. Thinking of this, Tang Yansheng picked up the phone and called Chen Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan ah, I'm your Uncle Tang, it's about this matter, last time that weight loss drug was very effective, I want to buy some more!"
"Uncle Tang, why are you still being polite with me? What's this about buying or not buying? I'll have it delivered to your office this afternoon!" Chen Zhiyuan was just worrying about the fat, and now someone was sending it right to his doorstep. No matter how much, he'd get his hands on it first.
"You're spending money on those medicines too, how can you always give them away for free? You should charge what's due, and if you want to give a little extra, some of my old friends need some too!"
"Uncle Tang, don't be polite with me, will you be in the office this afternoon?" Chen Zhiyuan was even more delighted when he heard that someone else wanted it. As long as the fat was enough, exchanging for a medical suit on Sunday wouldn't be a problem, and then Geng Jianmin's illness could also be cured.
"Come over this afternoon, but remember, this money is a must-give. Alright, let's meet this afternoon!" Tang Yansheng said that giving Chen Zhiyuan the money was not just a gesture, but a genuine offer, because Chen Zhiyuan's relationship with Song Weiqing was at stake. By being on good terms with Chen Zhiyuan, it would be equivalent to having an additional connection with Song Weiqing, and in this case, the medicine really worked, so spending some money was no big deal.
At the same time, Chen Zhiyuan packed up his things and just walked out of the door when he saw Song Muqing standing at the entrance: "How did you get here?"
Song Muqing was still dressed in a cool summer outfit, a retro denim ultra-mini skirt with two long and slender legs underneath, cute and plump toes peeking out from crystal sandals, a pink round-neck tight-fitting T-shirt outlining two rounded breasts, a swan-like white neck wearing a delicate white gold hollow necklace, chestnut-colored long hair framing a exquisite and beautiful face, paired with an expression that was both lovely and charming, the whole person seemed like a fairy who walked out of a fairy tale book.
"I'm so bored at home, just wandering around, and I ended up in your store. Chen Zhiyuan, come play with me?" Song Muqing said with a smile.
Director Chen looked at those two long legs and felt a bit unmanly, as if Little Chen was about to rebel. He swallowed hard and said: "I have something else to do, you play by yourself!" This is a demon, clearly still a schoolgirl, why dress up so cool, I'm still a virgin, can't take this.
"Do you think I'm eager to play with you? If my dad didn't ask me to invite you to dinner at my place tonight, I wouldn't have come looking for you!" Song Muqing pouted in dissatisfaction.
"What does your dad want from me?" Chen Zhiyuan was unaware of why Secretary Song had suddenly summoned him and felt very uneasy. Who let him be just a small citizen? When meeting an official, it's not like this, that would be strange. And even stranger is Song Muqing. "Your dad invited me to dinner tonight, is that okay? You can just make a phone call at that time, do you need to come over in person in the afternoon?"
"I didn't know that, okay, let's go!" Song Muqing said and pulled Chen Zhijuan away.
"This afternoon at 2 o'clock, didn't your dad invite me to dinner tonight? Why are you dragging me out now!" Chen Zhiyuan wasn't uninterested in beautiful women, but rather he was afraid of spending money. Accompanying a beauty on an outing would definitely cost less, and yet he still had to go see Tang Yansheng!
"I'm bored, come and play with me!" Song Muqing said with a cute little girl expression.
"What's going on? I still have things to do!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to meet someone, it's all set, you play by yourself!"
"Then I'll go with you!"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going anyway, if you don't let me go, I'll tell my dad that you're being rude to me!"
"How dare you! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Are you going to let me go?"
"I'm scared of you, let's go!"
