  The dishes are renowned Jiangnan cuisine, and they're all signature dishes of Jiangnan cuisine, with excellent color, fragrance, and flavor. The wine is a 15-year-old Moutai that has been stored in a cellar. And the beautiful woman beside me is smiling like a flower.

  In such a scene, naturally, people get drunk before they even drink the wine.

  Mei Kaishan was in high spirits, and tonight's dinner at home with Xu Yi was beyond his expectations. When he received the call, he almost didn't dare to believe his ears - General Xu's grandson was coming to his house for dinner. Once the news got out, it would have a huge impact on his future.

  With the excitement rising, Mei Kaisan's capacity for wine also increased, and their conversation became more intense. Mei Kaisan and Xu Yi drank and chatted, discussing economics, folk customs, and some mythological legends of Nanyue.

  Mei Fang was increasingly fond of Xu Yi, with a demeanor similar to that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. She kept putting food into Xu Yi's bowl, until Mei Shufen felt somewhat uncomfortable.

  It took more than an hour to finish dinner, and Xu Yi let out a satisfied burp as he sat in the living room drinking tea with Mei Kaisan. Mei Shufen helped Mei Fang clean up the table, and the mother-daughter duo busied themselves in the kitchen.

  "Xiao Fen, when was that?"

  Mei Fang was washing dishes while asking without lifting her head, Mei Shufen's pretty face turned red, she also didn't lift her head to clean the stove, pretending not to understand and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

  "Silly girl, still trying to fool your mom here." Mei Fang chuckled, "How long have you known Xu Yi? How far have the two of you progressed? Have you slept together?"

  "Mom, what are you talking about? Who slept with him?" Mei Shufen's pretty face turned red like a monkey's butt, "I met him on the train when I came back from school this time, okay? What do you think of your daughter?"

  "It's better not to go to bed, girl. I can tell you that girls must be dignified and vigilant when facing men's sweet talk. For them, the things they can't get are always the best."

  Mei Fang let out a sigh, "Girl, I can tell you that if your feelings haven't reached a certain level, don't ever sleep with a man, especially not someone like Xu Yi from a wealthy and influential family. Their marriages are never their own decision."

  "So, mom will teach you a trick on how to tease him and make him come, but no matter what, you can't really do it with him unless you're married."

  Mei Shufen was taken aback, and she raised her head in shock. "Mom, I thought you were an open-minded person, but how did you suddenly become so feudal? What era are we living in now? Do you think it's still the same as your generation?"

  "You little girl, I'm an experienced person, don't you know what's on your mind? Mei Fang hummed, "You young people don't care, but do you think their family will also not care? Especially since the Xu family is a well-known and respected family in Beijing, it's not easy to get into their door."

  "Mom, what are you talking about? Who said I'm going to marry Xu Yi? I've only known him for a short while." Mei Shufen's pretty face turned red, and Xu Yi's handsome yet slightly goofy face flashed through her mind.

  "Silly girl, I think he seems to have a crush on you, otherwise why would he come to our house for dinner?" Mei Fang hummed, "Besides, my little girl is so beautiful and has a great figure, it's only normal that Xu Yi would fall for you."

  "But if he just wants to play around, I absolutely won't allow it. Chairman Mao once said that dating with the intention of getting married is being a rascal."

  Mei Shufen was stunned and couldn't say a word.

  The conversation in the living room was also going on vigorously, with Xu Yi as the center of attention, asking him about his various situations, where he studied, what he was interested in, and whether he planned to enter the government or state-owned enterprises.

  Obviously, Mei Kaisan also regarded Xu Yi as his future son-in-law.

  Xu Yi didn't think that much, and he gave detailed answers to Mei Kaisan's various questions. He even took the initiative to mention that he was a Taoist, but this monk wasn't a vegetarian and could get married.

  He originally came to Mei's house for dinner tonight in order to help Mei get ahead, and this time thanks to Mei Shufen, now it's time to return the favor.

  This time, the construction of the living area was unlucky and provoked Xu Yi, who had returned to his hometown for ancestral worship, and also implicated Ma Tian, the director of the Public Security Bureau. A person like Jiang Weifeng would not miss this excellent opportunity, and the political situation in Qi Xi would definitely undergo a drastic change.

  The best ending for Guan Jian is to retire early, which means the position of Deputy Secretary of Qixi County Committee is now vacant. Meanwhile, Mei Shufen has been busy running around with Xu Yi these past few days, and everyone has taken notice.

  Plum blossom opens mountain again just happens to be the vice secretary-general of Hengchuan Municipal Government, and the qualifications are relatively old. Plus there is a layer of relationship with Xu Yi, undoubtedly the best candidate.

  Xu Yi's news of staying overnight at Mei Kai's home tonight will definitely spread throughout the entire Hengchuan government in one night, because Mei Kai's home is located in the residential area of the Hengchuan Municipal Government.

  Returning to his hometown for the ancestral worship, Xu Yi encountered this situation, but he didn't take the opportunity to make a big fuss. The leaders of Hengchuan Municipal Committee must have been uneasy and wanted to do something to appease Xu Yi. Promoting Mei Kaisan was undoubtedly a good choice.

  After chatting for a while, Xu Yi took a bath and went to sleep. He slept in Mei Shufen's brother's room. Her brother had gone back to their grandfather's house in the suburbs because of National Day.

  Mei Fang finished cleaning up at home, then went to take a bath and came back, only to find that Mei Kaisan hadn't gone to sleep, but was standing on the balcony smoking. She couldn't help but pause for a moment, "Kaisan, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you sleeping yet? Tomorrow we still need to go see my mom, I haven't been back in such a long time, and coincidentally Liao Tou has also returned, this time let's go visit my mom together."

  "Alright, go then."

  Mei Kai Shan turned around and walked into the bedroom, tossing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, picked up the water cup and took a sip. "Wife, what do you think of that kid Xu Yi?"

  "You said it, Xi Yi."

  Mei Fang was taken aback, her motion of splashing toner on her face paused, and she turned to look at Mei Kai Shan, "The young man looks good too, his personality is also good, it's just that his status is a bit too noble, besides, Xiao Tao is only in her second year of university, what's the hurry?"

  "You know what, such opportunities are fleeting." Mei Kai Shan shook his head, a proud smile on his face. "You know how many people in Hengchuan City want to marry their daughters off to him? But he just happens to have taken a liking to our family's little girl. What is this? This is fate."

  "What does it mean by giving his daughter to him?"

  Mei Fang furrowed her brow and gave Mei Kai Shan a sideways glance, "You officials, in order to advance your careers, you really are capable of coming up with anything shameless. Don't you ever think about the happiness of your daughter's future?"

  "I'm just making an analogy."

  Mei Kai Shan smiled and slammed the water cup on the table, "Wife, I have some good news to tell you, your husband's good fortune is coming?"

  "What good thing? What's the good news?"

  Mei Fang patted her cheek, slowly closing the makeup box. "It's not going to be a promotion for you, I advise you not to dream too much. Even if Lian Ze, the secretary-general of the municipal government, retires, it won't be your turn. There are many people in front of you."

  "I'm telling you, this isn't a dream."

  Plum Blossom Mountain smiled and stroked his chin, "Do you know why I said that?"

  "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

  Mei Fang hummed, lifted the quilt and got into bed, reached out to pinch Mei Kai Shan's arm, "However, if you're thinking of using your daughter to exchange for your official position, I'll never be done with you!"

  "Wife, listen to me," Mei Kaishan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm saying this because Xu Yi had dinner at our house tonight and stayed over, so, if nothing unexpected happens, the organization will soon be looking for me to have a talk, and I'll be sent to Qi Xi as deputy secretary of the county party committee."

  "What? Isn't the Vice Secretary of the Qi Xi County Committee Guan Jian She?"

  Mei Fang was taken aback, reaching out to touch Mei Kai's forehead. "Is it just because Xu Yi had a meal at our house and stayed overnight that the municipal party committee wants to promote you and make you deputy secretary? Are you sure you're not dreaming?"

  "I'm fine, just listen to me."

  Mei Kai Shan pushed her hand away, "This time, Guan Jian's son beat Xu Yi so badly that he was hospitalized. You think this matter is over? Not possible. Even if Xu Yi doesn't pursue it, the municipal party committee is worried. What if the Xu family wants to pursue this matter one day? So, the municipal party committee must come up with a plan."

  "It's because of a soon-to-be-retired Guan Jian coming to offend the Xu family that such a foolish thing was done."

  "It's not your turn yet, is it?"

  Mei Fang was somewhat puzzled, but Mei Kaisan's words had clearly piqued her interest.

  "Gu Jian's construction has been suppressing Jiang Weifeng, the county party secretary, for years. The municipal party committee must have an opinion about Gu Jian, and over the years, Gu Jian has left too many handles. His precious son is also not making any effort, bullying men and women in Qixi, doing all sorts of evil things. This time, he fell into Xu Yi's hands, do you think Jiang Weifeng will let go of this opportunity?"

  Mei Kaiyuan lit a cigarette and took a puff, "If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Weifeng must have negotiated with Xu Yi. Once the municipal party committee wants to hush up the matter, Xu Yi will definitely stand up and argue for justice."

  "In any case, you just need to understand that this time, the best outcome for Guan Jian is to withdraw early. Of course, there are still many people who want the position of Deputy Secretary of the Qixi County Committee."

  "Right, right, that's a county party committee deputy secretary who holds great power, compared to you, the deputy secretary general of the same rank, he is much more promising."

  "But it seems that I'm the only one suitable for this role."

  Mei Kai Shan smiled and said, "Why? Because Xu Yi is staying at our house tonight."

  "Does he live in our house and your status becomes noble?" Mei Fang hummed, looking at Mei Kaisan with disdain, "Or does someone else take Xu Yi as your son-in-law?"

  As soon as she spoke, Mei Fang was stunned, and she finally understood her husband's meaning.

  "Xu Yi is a sentimental kid. Since his sister took care of him for a few days, he's helping me out this time. This is a case of returning a favor."

  Mei Kai Shan took a deep drag on his cigarette, "This time, Guan Jian's offense against the Xu family has made it embarrassing for Lu Weiqun to come out and compete for this deputy secretary position. Jiang Weifeng can't even think about competing for this position, because he needs to avoid suspicion, lest the municipal party committee misunderstands that he is secretly sabotaging Lu Weiqun."

  "In the municipal party committee, the best approach is to maintain the current political ecology of Qixi. Without any factional construction, Lu Weiqun and Jiang Weifeng are evenly matched, and I don't belong to any faction, so the best candidate can only be me."

  Mei Fang nodded and suddenly grabbed Mei Kai Shan's hand, her chest heaving with excitement. "Hubby, are you finally going to make it?"

  "Yes, wife, I've finally made it through."

  Mei Kai Shan threw away the cigarette butt, and a hungry tiger pounced on it.
