4:30 in the afternoon.
Li Chuan returned to Wulin County.
As soon as he arrived in the county, he went straight to Eight Directions Seafood City.
Yes, it was the same seafood restaurant where he felt ripped off before!
"Boss, I've reserved a private room before." As soon as Li Chuan walked into Eight Directions Seafood City, he approached the bar and looked at the staff there, who was the same person who checked him out last time, "Can you issue an invoice today?"
"Of course, we can do that now," Liu Min smiled broadly. She was quite surprised, not expecting this big spender to come back for a second time; otherwise, she would have missed out on another good opportunity to earn big.
"Order me these dishes, and also those dishes."
"And bring a few bottles of Maotai."
Li Chuan still ordered a lot of dishes, then walked into the private room to wait. After a little over ten minutes, Hu Junjie and Li Zhao arrived at the restaurant.
Li Chuan stood up to greet them with a smile: "Secretary Li is here, please take the main seat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhao looked serious and said, "Master Li, don't mock me. It should be you taking the main seat!"
Li Chuan: "..."
Being addressed as Master Li made Li Chuan a bit awkward. Clearly, the other party had already discovered his identity.
In other words, he must have heard some information from Hua Yunfeng, learning about his true identity.
However, despite what Li Zhao said, Li Chuan insisted: "Since that's the case, I won't call you Secretary Lin, but you shouldn't call me Master Li either. Let's just treat this as an ordinary dinner, as friends."
"However, since Brother Jie is a good brother of mine, and you're his uncle, you count as an elder. As the host, you should take the main seat."
Upon hearing this, naturally, Li Zhao no longer persisted. He smiled slightly and sat in the main seat.
He hadn't expected Li Chuan to be so polite, which greatly increased his affection for him.
Hu Junjie, on the side, picked up the teapot in front of him and poured tea for Li Zhao and Li Chuan. The more he interacted with Li Chuan, the more he liked him. This guy not only knew how to handle matters but also seemed to have quite a background. The key was that he genuinely treated him as a brother, which was a huge compliment.
"Li Chuan, you're really good at hiding things, I had no idea!" Li Zhao smiled and said, "If I hadn't had dinner with Master Hua before, where he drank a bit too much and let it slip, I wouldn't have known we had such a remarkable person here in Wulin County."
Hu Junjie looked helpless: "Uncle, you can't blame Li for this, it just means we didn't recognize the real talent."
Yesterday, Li Zhao, Hu Junjie, and Hua Yunfeng had dinner together.
Initially, they wanted Master Hua to predict their future.
But Hua Yunfeng outright refused, saying he didn't know how to read faces.
To read faces, you need to find a real master.
And that master was right here in Wulin County.
This naturally piqued the interest of the two, who then eagerly inquired about who this master was and where to find him.
In the end, under the influence of alcohol, Hua Yunfeng revealed Li Chuan's identity.
That's when everyone learned about Li Chuan's true identity.
They found out that he came from Jiangzhou City and had resolved the Feng Shui issues of Nine-Headed Mountain there.
Li Zhao was filled with admiration for Li Chuan.
He hadn't expected that the driver of a deputy director under him was actually such an extraordinary person.
Moreover, he was Hua Yunfeng's savior.
Because of this, he had Hu Junjie arrange for Li Chuan to join them for dinner.
"Li, I won't hide it, I wanted to ask if you could check my prospects in my official career!" Li Zhao looked nervous, with a hint of anticipation.
Li Chuan smiled: "Uncle Li, your prospects are excellent; within the next month, you will surely rise high."
Upon hearing this, Hu Junjie was thrilled: "Uncle, I told you, you will definitely get promoted, and now Master also says so."
Li Zhao's eyes toward Li Chuan also became filled with awe.
He hadn't expected Li Chuan to really have such skills.
Because he had already heard rumors about his promotion.
In less than two days, the Organization Department would certainly approach him.
Li Chuan took a sip from his teacup and looked calm: "Actually, leaving now isn't necessarily a good thing."
After he said this, Li Zhao's breathing became somewhat erratic, and his previously confused eyes gradually turned determined.
Although this promotion was a step up, for Li Zhao, it didn't really matter. The power of the new position was far less appealing than staying in Wulin County as a county party secretary.
Though he didn't want to leave Wulin County, in reality, it wasn't his choice.
The talk with the Organization Department was just a formality.
The result was that he would undoubtedly be transferred!
Was there any way he could change this outcome?
Li Chuan: "Uncle Li, for the construction work in Southeast Square, you're still responsible, right?"
Li Zhao didn't know why Li Chuan brought this up but nodded: "That's right, there's a meeting tomorrow where I'll announce it."
Li Zhao now had great trust in Li Chuan.
As the meal came close to ending, Li Zhao gave Hu Junjie a look, signaling him to go settle the bill.
However, Li Chuan reached out to stop him: "Wait! This meal is my treat for the two seniors. If you insist, it means I'm being disrespectful."
Li Zhao: "We're all family here, there's no need to be so formal. I'll cover this dinner, and you can catch it next time!"
