Chapter 7

Wang Tiancheng knew that Zhou Fa was the mayor of Wanquan City. He smiled respectfully and said, "Thank you, Mayor Zhou, for your care. I will definitely work hard." These were some words he had heard when he went out with his father, and he never thought he would use them today.

Zhou Fa did not know what kind of relationship Wang Tiancheng had with the provincial party secretary Lin Dong, but since the provincial party secretary had personally instructed him, it must be a significant matter. He patted Wang Tiancheng's solid shoulder, smiled approvingly, and then went to Xiao Po to give him instructions.

Wang Tiancheng watched Zhou Fa and Xiao Po talking by the car. He did not dare to approach them. These two people were far beyond his reach. He did not know what kind of arrangement he would have in Fenglin County. Thinking of Long Hai's smile when he left, Wang Tiancheng felt that Long Hai had no good intentions.

After giving the instructions, Zhou Fa got into his car and left.

Xiao Po waved to Wang Tiancheng and said warmly, "Get in the car, let's go back to the county."

Wang Tiancheng got into Xiao Po's car and sat in the back seat. The county party secretary, Xiao Po, sat in the front passenger seat, and the dedicated driver drove the car silently.

The car drove westward, the road became narrower, there were fewer cars on the road, and the sky grew darker. Finally, the night fell.

"Are you hungry, Xiao Wang? It's already time for dinner," Xiao Po said politely. He did not know Wang Tiancheng's background, but since the provincial party secretary had personally arranged it, they must at least know each other.

Wang Tiancheng was indeed a bit hungry and said without hesitation, "Secretary Xiao, I am really hungry."

Xiao Po's eyebrows furrowed slightly, not expecting Wang Tiancheng to be so straightforward. Normally, people would say they were not hungry when they heard such a question. Xiao Po looked at the young Wang Tiancheng in the rearview mirror and felt much less wary. He had already categorized Wang Tiancheng as a young and impulsive person.

"Just hold on a bit. When we get to the county, we'll go to the hotel for dinner and relax a bit," Xiao Po said casually, feeling that Wang Tiancheng was easy to handle and did not require much effort.

Wang Tiancheng did not have much to say. The county party secretary treating him like this was already quite good, especially since his father had made a mistake. Xiao Po not fearing any repercussions was already better than most people. Wang Tiancheng was even a bit moved.

Soon, they saw a well-lit building ahead. Wang Tiancheng knew they had arrived at Fenglin County. The car quickly drove into a hotel that looked quite large, directly entering the back courtyard, where security guards were already waiting.

A pleasant ringtone sounded, and Xiao Po answered the phone.

"Secretary Xiao, we are in the No. 1 private room. The dishes are all ready, and they are all your favorites," a rough voice said with a smile on the phone.

"Alright, I'll be there soon," Xiao Po said with a smile on his face.

"Come on, Xiao Wang, let me introduce you to some people. You will be working with them," Xiao Po said as he walked into the hotel.

Wang Tiancheng followed closely behind. A pretty waitress walked up and said in a sweet voice, "Secretary Xiao, you've arrived. Please come in." The waitress also gave Xiao Po a flirtatious look as she spoke.

Wang Tiancheng saw this clearly and felt that there was definitely something between the waitress and Xiao Po; the gesture was too obvious.

The beautiful waitress led the way, swaying her sexy hips, and came to a room marked "No. 1 Private Room." She elegantly pushed the door open and said, "Secretary Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Po nodded slightly at the beautiful waitress and walked in. There were five people sitting in the room. When they saw Xiao Po enter, they all stood up and said almost in unison, "Secretary Xiao, you've arrived."

Xiao Po was seated at the head of the table. He seemed to think of something, stood up, and introduced Wang Tiancheng, "This is Wang Tiancheng, who has come to report to our county. Don't underestimate him; he has a connection with the provincial party secretary."

This statement was just a joke, but these people immediately thought of the implications and all offered seats to Wang Tiancheng. Only after Wang Tiancheng sat next to Xiao Po did everyone else sit down.

Wang Tiancheng did not feel anything special. Perhaps because he had spent a lot of time with his father, he did not pay much attention to these formalities, thinking it was natural to sit at the head of the table. Of course, he knew he was benefiting from the county party secretary, Xiao Po.

Next, they started drinking. Wang Tiancheng learned from the conversation that these five people were entrepreneurs in Fenglin County, and some were even municipal people's congress representatives.

Xiao Po's drinking capacity was limited, and he soon gave up. The others then focused on Wang Tiancheng. Xiao Po, seeing Wang Tiancheng's nervousness, introduced him, "Xiao Wang, let me introduce you to these people: Mr. Liu Feng from the Yangtze Group, Mr. Wu Tian from the Wu Group, Mr. Gao Hong, Mr. Zhang Bao, and Mr. Sun Gang."

Wang Tiancheng shook hands with each of them. It was difficult to remember all their names at once, so he could only use drinking to make an impression. Wang Tiancheng had a good drinking capacity, able to handle a liter of alcohol, and these five executives also had limited drinking capacity. After a few rounds, two of them went to the restroom.

This surprised Xiao Po. Wang Tiancheng had a hidden strength, and it seemed he had made the right decision. If it weren't for Long Hai's reminder, Xiao Po would have wanted to keep Wang Tiancheng by his side as a drinking companion.

The dinner ended with the county party secretary, Xiao Po, giving a closing speech. However, Xiao Po did not leave. He looked at Wang Tiancheng and said, "Come on, we can't refuse the hospitality of these business leaders." As he spoke, he walked out, and the beautiful waitress who had greeted him earlier walked over.

Xiao Po pretended to be drunk and said, "Help me up the stairs, I can't walk anymore." As he spoke, he hugged the beautiful waitress.

"You're so naughty, always taking advantage of me. When will you make me a permanent employee? I'm so anxious," the beautiful waitress said as she helped the county party secretary, Xiao Po, up the stairs.

Wang Tiancheng was stunned. He realized that the hospitality of these business leaders was this: booking a room. This term was all too familiar to Wang Tiancheng.

At this moment, a fashionably dressed waitress walked over and said in a coquettish tone, "Handsome, come rest upstairs. I can do anything." As she spoke, she walked upstairs.

Wang Tiancheng naturally followed. He was not thinking of a one-night stand; he was just tired from the long car ride. Seeing the waitress use a magnetic card to open the room door, Wang Tiancheng took the card and said, "You can go back. I'll call you if I need anything." He then closed the door.

It was not that Wang Tiancheng did not understand the allure; he simply had no interest in such women. Wang Tiancheng fantasized about a romantic and warm love.
