  Feng Siche did not expect to see his colleagues from Dahu County in Yongyang City, and he was shocked. What does Zhou Chunhai mean? He hasn't even taken office in Dahu County yet, and he's already introducing people to him. This must have some deeper meaning. But he only mentioned it briefly and didn't say anything else. Feng Siche suppressed the doubts in his heart and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he would see soon, and the truth would be revealed at that time.

  At noon, Zhou Chunhai did not choose to have lunch at the municipal government's reception office, but instead came to a restaurant called Xiang Si Hai. At this moment, it was exactly noon time, and the entrance of the restaurant was bustling with people coming and going. Although there were not many cars at this time, more than a dozen or twenty cars were parked in front of the restaurant, which looked quite lively.

  "Hehe, Little Feng, we'll have lunch here today, what do you think?" Zhou Chunhai smiled and said, while already pushing open the car door.

  Feng Sicheng didn't dare to be arrogant, as the saying goes, "current officials are not as good as current managers". Although he was just a deputy head of the municipal party committee's organization department, who was only half a rank higher than him, he still had to show due respect. Without another word, he quickly pushed open the Santana's car door and got out.

  Just as Zhou Chunhai and Feng Sicheng arrived at the entrance of Xiang Si Hai Restaurant, a man in his 40s jogged over to them. "Director Zhou, everything is arranged," he said, while also taking a glance at Feng Sicheng with his eyes.

  As he observed Feng Si Zhe, the other man was also looking back at him. With a hunch, he guessed that this person should be his future colleague in Da Hu County.

  Feng Sichao's guess was correct. This person is indeed Lin Jianli, the colleague mentioned by Zhou Chunhai earlier, who is currently a Standing Committee member of the Dahulu County Party Committee and Chairman of the Trade Union.

  "Come, Comrade Xiao Feng, let me introduce you. This is the comrade from Dahu County I was just talking about, Lin Jianli, the chairman of the county's federation of trade unions and a standing committee member of the county party committee. Jianli, this is Feng Sizhe, who will soon take office as the executive vice magistrate of Dahu County." Zhou Chunhai smiled as he made the introduction.

  Feng Siche noticed a detail, that when Zhou Chunhai introduced the two of them, he didn't call out their names directly, only using their full names when introducing their positions. For example, he called himself Xiao Feng and Lin Jianliang as Jianliang. This seemingly insignificant detail was grasped very well by Feng Siche. It seems that this Zhou Chunhai is a very interesting person, and the reason he calls himself Xiao Feng in front of Lin Jianliang is probably to prove their close relationship. However, since they had just met, Feng Siche didn't dare to really consider him as his confidant. As the saying goes, "the unexpected is ominous", before figuring out Zhou Chunhai's true intentions, Feng Siche kept a watchful eye on him, wanting to see if Zhou Chunhai and Lin Jianliang's relationship was truly close, and what his enthusiasm towards himself really meant. These were all very thought-provoking.

  Lin Jianli shook hands with Feng Siche, exchanged a few pleasantries, nothing more. But he spoke with sincerity, and the surprise in his eyes was followed by a somewhat dismissive gaze that Feng Siche caught. He knew he was indeed very young, at least half the age of Lin Jianli, who was over 40. However, while he could allow others to see the surprise in his eyes, he couldn't allow them to look down on him. Anyone who underestimated him would have to pay a huge price.

  Feng Sicheng remained calm and composed, smiling warmly as he shook hands with Lin, and then the two of them followed Zhou Chunhai into the Xiang Si Hai restaurant.

  They went upstairs and came to a elegant room, Zhou Chunhai sat down first, then Feng Sicheng and Lin Jianliang sat on either side of him. The service brought tea, after everything was ready, Lin Jianliang dismissed the waiter, opened a bottle of Zhongzhou Daqu himself, smiled and poured a full cup for Zhou Chunhai first, then filled Feng Sicheng's cup as well, while pouring wine he said: "Hehe, I heard that Comrade Feng Sicheng is from Kyoto, hum, you may not know the rules below, generally before discussing official business, we usually chat about wine culture first, only after drinking good wine can many things be handled easily."

  Feng Sicheng will take over as the Executive Vice County Magistrate of Dahu County, ranking eighth in the county's ranking. Lin Jianli, as the Chairman of the Dahu County Trade Union, is ranked 13th among the county's standing committee members and last in rank. It is also customary for Lin Jianli to pour wine for Feng Sicheng who has just arrived.

  Feng Sichu didn't do anything on purpose, he just half stood up and apologized when Lin Jianli gave him a full cup of wine. Then, as he sat back down in his seat, he said: "Well, since I've come to Yongyang City and started working in Dahu County, naturally I'll follow the local customs. This wine, I'll just drink it."

  Not saying anything tense, nor showing a difficult expression, but sitting here with extreme stability, revealing a calmness that doesn't match his age. Feng Si Zhe's reaction caused Zhou Chun Hai and Lin to exchange a deep glance at him, then after exchanging another glance, they sat back down as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

  "Hmm, Xiao Feng's attitude is quite good. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? Come on, to celebrate Xiao Feng's arrival and for the economy of Dahu County to reach a new level under his guidance, I suggest we drink this cup." Zhou Chunhai smiled and proposed the first toast to Feng Sicheng.

  Feng Sizhe, how dare you accept this toast? If it gets out, others will say that I don't understand the rules. In official circles, there is a very strict hierarchy system. No matter whether you really respect your superiors or not, on the surface, work still needs to be done properly. "How can we let Minister Zhou toast me? Let's have Lin and I toast our leaders instead." Feng Sizhe hastily stood up and pushed the cup towards Zhou Chunhai's side.

  Lin Jianliang opened his mouth, originally he wanted to say this, but was preempted by Feng Sizhe. After a brief pause, he changed his words and said, "Yes, yes, County Magistrate Feng is right, we should be the ones to toast our leader."

  "Hmm, okay, I'll be impolite then. Hehe, come on, sit down, everyone, sit down." Zhou Chunhai smiled and finished the wine in his cup with a squinting gaze.

  Just now he said that, but it was just to test Feng Siche's reaction and see if he knew the rules of officialdom. Now looking at him, he is still okay, at least not as arrogant as imagined. If Feng Siche really had the arrogance of a Kyoto person, he would not have stood up to thank Lin when he poured wine for him. If he really didn't know the rules of officialdom, he wouldn't have offered the first cup of wine to himself. It can be said that from these two aspects, he should still be a man who knows how to advance and retreat, understands etiquette, although it cannot be concluded what kind of person Feng Siche is from this, at least there won't be too much difficulty in interacting with him.

  Because Feng Si Zhe's performance was quite impressive, the subsequent dinner party became much more casual. The atmosphere among the few people was still pretty good with wine being passed around.

  Lin Jian continued to talk about his experiences in Dahu County, saying that Dahu County was indeed poor and had never developed economically over the years, with even solving the people's food and clothing problems becoming a top priority.

  He had done some homework on Dalhu County, and he also knew that if it could become a well-known poor county, then Dalhu County must not be rich. However, after listening to Lin Jianli say that even the basic needs of the people couldn't be met, he still couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He thought to himself, this is such a poor place, and it's probably going to be a big challenge to change it in a short amount of time. Where should I start first? As he thought about it, he fell into a reverie.

  When Feng Si Zhe was deep in thought, his arm was suddenly touched by Lin Jian Li, and this touch made him immediately regain his composure. Just as he had just calmed down, he heard Zhou Chun Hai ask Lin Jian Li, "Is Xiao Zhou okay at the big lake?"
