Chapter 148: Changing Face

  Xiao Yu naturally saw the prices of the dishes Zhang Shaohua had ordered. After Zhang Shaohua finished ordering, and the others didn't order anything else, Xiao Yu smiled at the boss's wife and said: "Boss's wife, add a few more of your store's specialty dishes! And bring another box of Maotai!"

  "Xiao Lao Di, no need, we can't finish that much food and I still have wine in my car!" Zhang Shao Hua knew the specialty dishes here were not cheap, and Xiao Ye directly ordered a whole box of Maotai, so he hastily said.

  "Haha, Zhang Dage, the wine in your car is yours, but if we drink it while I'm treating you, does that count as you treating me or me treating you?" Xiaoye had already offered to treat them, so he wouldn't bother with such petty things. Besides, he wasn't short of money at the moment either.

  "Alright, Xiao Lao Di is being straightforward! It's me, the brother, who's being pretentious!" Zhang Shao Hua said with a slap on the table. Although he didn't know what others thought, but for someone like Xiao Ye, this move was clearly giving himself enough face.

  "Alright, sister Jin, let's do it as Xiao Lao said!" Zhang Shaohua turned around and said to the boss's wife.

  "Alright, just a few more minutes, the dishes will be ready soon!" The boss's wife responded and left the private room, glancing at Xiao Ye with a puzzled expression before leaving. What kind of person is he? How can he make Zhang Shaohua like this?

  With a puzzled face, the boss left the private room. Although I don't know what Xiao Ye is, but it can make Zhang Shaohua so, it should be that rich young master, and obviously not a local rich young master. But are those spoiled sons so pure?

  She walked while thinking, but couldn't figure it out no matter what. Forget it! She turned back to ask that old thing if he knew anything.

  "Zhang, this brother is..." The private room was silent, with only Xiao Ye speaking in a low voice to Zhang Shaohua. A man in his 40s sitting next to Zhang Shaohua couldn't bear his curiosity and asked.

  Upon hearing this question, the other three also looked at Zhang Shao Hua with curiosity, waiting for his response.

  "Haha, couldn't help it?" Zhang Shaohua heard this and burst out laughing, saying.

  Come on, let me introduce you to this guy, Xiao Ye Xiao, who has opened a clinic in Antique City and will be opening soon!

  "Xiao Lao Di, let me introduce you to this gentleman. This is Wang Manjiang, Director of the Health Bureau!" Zhang Shaohua said, pointing to a man in his forties or fifties wearing glasses.

  "He pointed at a man in his fifties who had just come in and was joking with Zhang Shaohua, saying: 'This is Li Zhanjun, Director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.'"

  Pointing to the forty-year-old man who had just asked the question, he said: "This is Wu Shouye, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau."

  "This is Sun Wu, the head of Dongcheng District!" Zhang Shaohua said, pointing to a nearly bald man in his fifties.

  Originally, she had a curious and enthusiastic expression on her face, but when she heard that Xiao Yu was just a doctor at a clinic, although there was still a smile on her face and she was very polite to Xiao Yu, it became a professional smile, and the words also turned into official courtesy.

  Although they didn't know why Zhang Shaohua was so polite and even somewhat respectful to Xiao Ye, whatever the reason, he was just a doctor who opened a clinic, and being able to do so was already giving face to Zhang Shaohua.

  In their opinion, Zhang Shaohua valued Xiao Yu so much, probably because Xiao Yu had saved the Zhang family from some kind of disaster, and there was no other reason for this. This could also be seen from Zhang Shaohua's ordering of dishes just now.

  Moreover, Xiao Yu's clinic had not yet opened for business, and the several times they had met recently were all related to the clinic, and Xiao Yu had even invited them out to eat. They thought that Xiao Yu must have some sort of request or favor to ask of them, so naturally they put on airs.

  Ji Ru's performance was all within Zhang Shaohua's eyes, and he thought to himself, "It's you who didn't seize the opportunity, not that I didn't give it to you."

  Every time Xiao Yu found these few to drink, they were all full of official words and excuses. Gradually, Xiao Yu also saw that something was wrong and no longer toasted but rather leisurely sipped a mouthful of wine, ate some seafood, and occasionally raised a glass to Zhang Shao Hua.

  Zhang Shaohua was speechless at the sight of these few people, how did he not notice that they were so stupid before? Would Xiao Yu really use such ordinary people?

  Zhang Shaohua helped Xiao Yu pull out the chair as soon as he entered the house, just in case these few people didn't take Xiao Yu seriously enough. Unexpectedly, when the atmosphere was still okay, these few people heard that Xiao Yu was a doctor who opened a clinic, and their faces instantly turned into professional expressions.

  Zhang Shaohua originally didn't intend to let Xiao Yu have a deep relationship with these people, but since Xiao Yu's clinic is within their jurisdiction, now he just wants them to see how much importance he attaches to Xiao Yu and hopes they won't offend him, otherwise Zhang Shaohua would have made it clear about Xiao Yu's situation from the beginning.

  Zhang Shaohua, on the grounds that they could no longer drink, pushed away Xiao Yu's wine and shook his head, not knowing what to say. He didn't know what was wrong with these old officials in the government.

  "Xiao Lao Di, wait for me a moment, I'll go to that house over there to pay my respects with a cup of wine!" Zhang Shaohua pointed and walked out carrying a cup of wine towards the east.

  "Dr. Xiao, you and Zhang are..." Director Li Zhanjun of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau said to Xiao Ye as he saw Zhang Shaohua walk out with a cup of wine.

  "Haha, Zhang helped me get my medical license! So I invited him to dinner as a thank you, didn't expect to run into all of you leaders, it's really my honor!" Xiao Yu said with a light smile.

  Several others showed a look of sudden realization and thought to themselves, "So that's how it is."

  Only the director of the Health Bureau, Wang Manjiang, sat there with a thoughtful expression. When Zhang Shaohua handled his medical qualification certificate, he found him. At that time, when it was done, he vaguely remembered that Zhang Shaohua had called Secretary Chu to report on this matter.

  At this thought, Wang Manjiang was shocked and trembled all over, breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "How could I be so stupid? Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

  Wouldn't it be natural to think that Xiao Ye helped Zhang Shaohua's family see a doctor? How could he not think that with Zhang Shaohua's status, if it were just an ordinary doctor, they wouldn't be so respectful?

  "Come on, Xiao Lao Di, no need to say anything else. Knowing a great doctor is like having an extra layer of insurance for your life! I'll toast you a glass, and you can do whatever you want!"

  Wang Manjiang picked up a bottle of wine, filled a cup that could hold two liangs of wine to the brim, raised his glass towards Xiao Ye and said, after finishing, he downed the wine in one gulp without any pause. He did this with a hint of apology for his attitude earlier.

  Although he didn't know what kind of medical skills Xiao Ye had, anyone could say flattering words.

  The rest of them saw Wang Manjiang's sudden change in attitude, and they all looked bewildered. They glanced at each other, but none of them got an answer from the others' eyes.

  Several people looked at Wang Manjiang with a brush, just now he was the most direct supervisor of Xiao Yu, and he was the first to change his attitude towards Xiao Yu. Now he is the first to change his attitude again, leaving the other several entrants really bewildered.

  Xiao Yu didn't know what reason made Wang Manjiang change his attitude, but no matter what the reason was, he would be the superior department of his own clinic. Since he had already entered the house and drunk, Xiao Yu naturally had no reason to refuse the wine in his cup.

  "Haha, okay, Dr. Xiao, great! I, Old Wang, have made up my mind about this friend!"

  Wang Manjiang saw that Xiao Ye didn't show any dissatisfaction with his previous attitude, but instead poured wine for him from the cup in front of him. Suddenly feeling that Xiao Ye had given him enough face, he burst out laughing and said.

  It's strange to say that the mentality of these officials is quite strange. Just now, Xiao Yu invited them to drink and they all declined, as if drinking with Xiao Yu would make them lose face. But now they are taking the initiative to invite Xiao Yu to drink, and after Xiao Yu drank, he actually gave them face.

  As for these officials' speed of changing their faces, Xiao Yu can be said to have truly experienced it once.

  The other three saw Wang Manjiang's attitude and all whispered to themselves, what's going on? If only Zhang Shaohua had this attitude towards him, it would be easy to explain. But Wang Manjiang was notoriously arrogant, looking down on everyone, yet now he has become like this, making them consider the situation carefully.

  Next to Wang Manjiang sat Li Zhanjun, the head of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, who kicked Wang Manjiang under the table and stared at him intensely. Wang Manjiang glanced at Xiao Ye, saw that he was eating, and whispered a sentence to Li Zhanjun.

  When Li Zhanjun heard Wang Manjiang's words, he took a cold breath. He never thought that Xiao You would have a relationship with Chu Secretary. To know that even they, who followed Chu Secretary, were not afraid of him.

  Xiao

  Li Zhanjun was about to speak when the door of the private room was pushed open, and Zhang Shaohua walked in with a smile on his face. "I just went to Director Wang's house to represent Secretary Chu and toast him a glass of wine," he said. "Director Wang heard that everyone is here chatting and wants to come over to return the courtesy!"

  As soon as Zhang Shaohua's voice fell, the room erupted. This big king chairman is also a legendary figure. The main chairmen of the previous sessions were all concurrently served by the municipal party secretary, but this changed in Chu Secretary's session, and the main director was continued by Wang Mingfu, the former municipal party secretary.

  It is said that Wang Nianfu used to follow the old master of the Chu Secretary's family when he was a soldier, and later during the counterattack war, he was injured and was carried back by the old master of the Chu family at the risk of his own life. After recovering from his injury, he was arranged by the old master of the Chu family to transfer to a local position.

  Originally, Wang Mingfu could have been the municipal party secretary for another thousand years, but in order to give way to Chu Guoqiang, he voluntarily resigned and took up the post of Grand Chairman. No matter what Wang Mingfu said, Chu Guoqiang did not accept it, so although Wang Mingfu is no longer the municipal party secretary, his words still carry a lot of weight in the entire Shenzhen.
