  The car drove out of Jiangxiao Street, and Tang Sheng received a call from Ning Xin, saying that he had booked a table at Wangjiang Building.

  Wangjiang Building is the top hotel in Jiangling City, a purely hotel that does not operate other KTV rooms or guest rooms. Generally speaking, people who come and go here are urban dignitaries. Nowadays, there are many rich people, eating a meal is nothing.

  For Tang Jin, entering such a high-end hotel made her feel a bit guilty. In fact, she and her family had never entered such a luxurious hotel before. Even when relatives and friends held wedding banquets, they would only choose mid-range restaurants and wouldn't come to such expensive places.

  In Tang Jin's eyes, Wangjiang Pavilion can be described in four words: resplendent and magnificent!

  The reception ladies in front of the hotel door stood one by one, their cheongsam dresses slit to the side all above the thigh, so dazzling!

  Tang Sheng led her in, asked for a certain private room, and went straight up to the second floor. Fortunately, Ning Xin was standing at the staircase entrance waiting, so she didn't have to go find the private room. Seeing Tang Jin being led by him, Ning Xin smiled slightly at Tang Jin, "Deputy Director Han has called over someone with the surname Ma."

  "What about Vice Director Ma of the Education Bureau? Anyone else?"

  Ning Xin furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Our bureau's deputy director Han Qizheng, and the municipal politics and law committee's vice secretary Li..."

  Tang Sheng's face slowly looked up and smiled: "What's going on? Bring a bunch of bureaucrats to scare people? Where is Sister Qiang?"

  "She went to pick up that 'Li', huh... Is this Li guy reliable? I'm under a lot of pressure."

  What Ningxin said is actually the truth. He himself intervened in this matter, and his father didn't know about it. The other party also gave face to his father, being both the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau. But they set up this formation obviously to 'pressure' him.

  Although he suspected that Tang Sheng and 'Secretary Tang' were related, his father didn't dare to confirm it. Even if they were related, after all, he was just a young kid, what kind of influence could he have in front of Secretary Tang? Today, these few people, even if they had offended him, it wouldn't be good.

  What to do? Ning Xin was quite worried in her heart. Usually, she would be in charge of political work or detective work, which had nothing to do with politics?

  "Xin jie, like this, you go and deal with them, we'll open another private room. You put on a dignified attitude, then pretend to come over here to toast, just say which room number, then sit back down and don't go over there. After they wait for a while, they will definitely become curious and come over..."

  Ning Xin hummed in response and worriedly asked: "What exactly does that Li guy do? Is he reliable?"

  "It doesn't matter what they say, you just remember to maintain your composure and that's it..." Tang Sheng said as he beckoned a waiter over and asked for a private room. The waiter replied that there didn't seem to be any available, so Tang Sheng told him, "We'll pay three times the usual fee for a private room."

  Money can make a ghost grind, the waiter pretended to ask the cashier, and then the luxurious room came out, "Room 211 on the second floor, please!"

  Tang Sheng said with a smile, "211, put your phone on vibrate, I'm ready here, ring three times for you."

  "Uh, I'll go first then......" Ning Xin was still nervous, she had never experienced the intrigue and struggle with leaders before.

  Deng Ningxin left first, and then Tang Sheng led Tang Jin to room 211, while handing his phone over to Luo Qianqian.

  "Has Sister Qiangqiang picked up the phone? Hmm... Let him answer it then..." Tang Sheng said while dialing, and at the same time, he reached back to hold Tang Jin's hand. Tang Jin tried to dodge but couldn't, her face turned red again, feeling resentful of his domineering ways, yet also having a strange sweet sensation in her heart.

  Not to mention, this guy handles things very calmly, where is there a hint of childish panic? I really admire him.

  Tang Sheng didn't say how much Tang Jin admired him, but instead said: "… Secretary Li, it's not lively with fewer people. You've been participating in the municipal discipline inspection commission's rectification work conference for the past two days, haven't you? It would be good to invite the leaders of the discipline inspection commission to lunch today! The secretary's instructions need to be further conveyed, some people are slow-witted and don't put them into practice!"

  Li Chongfeng has been in the official circle for many years, so he naturally understands Tang Sheng's meaning. "I'm afraid it's not easy to invite Secretary Bai of the Discipline Inspection Commission." He is just a full-time secretary and is only at the deputy department level, how can he be put in the eyes of the "Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission"?

  "Hmm... that's your fault. The private connections between leaders usually start with their secretaries, it can be said to be a kind of probing. Do you think the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission would easily decline your invitation? Doesn't he want to think about why a small secretary like you is inviting him out for dinner?"

  "Tang Sheng, I...I'm afraid Secretary Tang will find out about this..."

  "Aren't you afraid I'll let something slip? Director Liu can't stand that kind of behavior, huh?"

  "I understand... I'll make a call..." Li Chongfeng gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that he was doomed and would strangle this little brat to death.

  Tang Sheng put away his phone and winked at Tang Jin, but Tang Jin didn't understand what he was saying. What's with the leader and secretary?

  Indeed, the power dynamics at the Jiangling political center are quite delicate. Secretary Tang is new to the position and hasn't been able to make a breakthrough, so it's normal for his secretary to test the reactions of the Standing Committee members. So when Li Zhongfeng made the call with "desperate courage", even White Secretary from the Discipline Inspection Commission was taken aback? Really? Secretary Tang's secretary is inviting me out to eat? What play is this? A municipal committee standing member accompanying a small secretary?

  Even if you're the secretary of the municipal party committee, you don't have the qualifications for this.

  But what really puts Secretary Bai in a difficult position is this very point. What kind of trickery is Secretary Tang trying to pull? I just can't figure it out.

  Can you refuse? The secretary asked you to sit down, and if you refused, it would be equivalent to revealing your political stance. You can't! Just like that, twenty minutes later, the 'Wangjiang Building' welcomed a big shot from the Jiangling City power nucleus today: the Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission.

  Li Chongfeng also considered that he might as well call Bai Secretary, but how to end it? Tang Secretary didn't know about this at all, and it can be said that the chess game in Jiangling has not yet been played out, and for now, a delicate balance is still being maintained. But what about after today? Heaven!

  He is more and more afraid, more and more regretful, but now it's too late to turn back, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere.

  When Li Chongfeng led Secretary Bai into room 211, Tang Sheng, Luo Jiajia and Tang Jin all stood up.

  When Secretary Bai saw this lineup, he was taken aback at first, and then felt a wave of dullness wash over him. Previously, he had thought that Secretary Tang would be sitting here waiting for him, and although his heart couldn't help but feel some disappointment, the calm and uncompetitive atmosphere in the room seemed to be far removed from the officialdom, and it unknowingly relaxed his nerves as well. If Secretary Tang were sitting here, it would be a different story.

  Bai's secretary's eyes swept over the two women, secretly praising them in his heart. Finally, when he looked at Tang Sheng, however, he was taken aback, as if they had met before?

  No wonder, Secretary Tang's son, somewhat resembles him, unfamiliar and there will be problems.

  Li Chongfeng was also resentful of Tang Sheng's overbearing attitude, and now he had pushed himself into the fire pit. No way, I have to drag you down with me.

  "Comrade Bai, let me introduce you... His name is Tang Sheng. Don't you find him familiar?" He was clearly hinting at Tang Sheng's identity, and because Comrade Bai stared at Tang Sheng for a moment with a stunned expression, it was clear that he had discovered something, and another hint would make it clear.

  "This young man is... familiar, haha..." Secretary Bai was taken aback at first, then looked at Li Chongfeng and saw that he was smiling with some meaning. Adding to the familiarity of Tang Sheng's eyes, he suddenly understood in his heart. When shaking hands with Tang Sheng, he took another close look at him, hmm, just like!

  Li Chongfeng let out a sigh of relief. You recognized him, that's good, I've become a supporting actor now, otherwise this play can't be performed.

  Tang Sheng couldn't help but think that Li Chongfeng was quite something, and he thought to himself, "You're really something!" Then, he introduced Luo Qianqian.

  "Director Bai, this is Luo Qianqian. She works at the Provincial Finance Department and has come specifically to see Tang Sheng..." Another hint was dropped, Li Chongfeng feared that Director Bai still didn't understand, so he especially emphasized the four words "Provincial Finance Department". Director Bai's smile grew even thicker.

  Who in the municipal committee doesn't know that Secretary Tang's lover is Director Liu from the Provincial Department of Finance?

  Some things are better left unsaid, a hint is enough, and Secretary Bai is also an old hand in the officialdom, how could he not understand?

  Everything is ready, and a few people sat down to eat. Tang Jin sat on the right side of Tang Sheng. She was the most restrained. Even though she, as a high school student who didn't care about politics, hadn't had the opportunity to meet 'Secretary Bai', she could still tell from his demeanor that he was extraordinary. Moreover, when Tang Sheng made the phone call, she heard everything. He said something about the 'Discipline Inspection Secretary', and it must be this person in front of her.

  It can be said that Tang Jin is a 'official fan', this high school student doesn't know who the city leaders are, or who has the higher official position, only knowing that the municipal party secretary is the first in command and the mayor is the second in command, as for the others she doesn't understand, let alone what permanent committee members or not.

  Bai Secretary's name is Bai Shanmin, he looks like 56 or 57 years old, his attire is relatively simple and low-key.

  But he was thinking in his heart, 'Is "Little Tang" asking me to eat by myself conveying some kind of message?

  "Uncle Bai, please sit down, I'll just go to the restroom..." Tang Sheng was very polite and gave Li Chongfeng a signal as he left.

  Li Chongfeng understood, "You've never been to Wangjiang Tower, I'll take you there...", he said this so that he could follow Tang Sheng out while also implying to Bai Shanmin, "This is the young master, I'm just serving him, Secretary Bai, don't you see? I'm just a secretary."

  Bai Shanmin nodded with a smile. After they left, he turned to ask Luo Juju, "Which department is Xiao Luo in the Provincial Finance Department?"

  "Oh... Secretary Bai, I'm at the audit office, our department head's surname is Liu..." This sentence basically made it clear.

  "Uh-huh, drinking tea... waiting for them to come back and eat together..." At this time, Bai Shanmin confirmed that Tang Sheng was a member of Secretary Tang's family.

  Tang Sheng and Li Chongfeng came out for a walk, whispered some words, but didn't go to the bathroom. After finishing speaking, he sent Li Chongfeng back first, and then wandered around in the corridor without going in. Seven or eight minutes later, he dialed Ning Xin's phone number, hung up after three rings, and then returned to the room, "I'm so sorry, Uncle Bai, I just received another call..."

  "It doesn't matter, let's get started...". Bai Shanmin smiled and said, "...Chong Feng, the suggestions you just made are very good. This time, the discipline inspection committee will carry out a large-scale rectification work. As soon as the municipal party committee's document arrives, we will immediately start working."

  Li Chongfeng nodded, glanced at Tang Sheng without leaving any marks, and said what he wanted to say. You can play whatever you want now.
