Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

Soon, we arrived at the dining area.

But it was not a dining hall, but the main hall of Zeng Changfeng's house. There was an octagonal table in the middle, with a bench on each side.

There were two hot pots on the table, with steam bubbling out of them, and a dozen stir-fried dishes. On the corner cabinet nearby was an enamel basin with bowls and chopsticks in it.

There are also two bottles of Moutai and wine glasses.

There was a small honeycomb coal stove on the ground next to the corner cabinet, with a small pot on it. In the pot was a steamer covered with a straw hat, which was also steaming.

This scene is a bit like a banquet held during a celebration in the countryside.

Shen Qiansan took a look and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the cafeteria to eat? Why are you here at your home, Deputy Director Zeng?"

Zeng Changfeng said, "I'm inviting you to dinner with Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou. You can't go to the cafeteria. There's not even a place to sit. Anyway, my home is close, so it's the same if you come to my home."

Shen Qiansan said: "It's too troublesome! It's the same if we eat in the cafeteria."

Zeng Changfeng didn't know whether Shen Qiansan was really polite or just said it casually, so he could only say it was not a trouble.

Fan Wenqing said, "Boss Shen, don't worry about the trouble. In fact, Director Zeng usually holds a banquet here when he receives leaders and guests."

He pointed at the table and benches and said, "Look, these are all prepared on a regular basis."

Fan Wenqing hit the nail on the head again. You see, it's always like this, not just because I'm inviting you guys to dinner.

Shen Qiansan didn't say anything else, but just looked at Fan Wenqing again.

This is already the second time today.

It was Fan Wenqing who spoke up and helped Zeng Changfeng resolve the embarrassment.

Shen Qiansan has always been a careful person. Fan Wenqing's performance today caught his attention and he became curious again. Why didn't such a person who could speak to the point have a good future in his previous life?

If it is because there is no guide, he doesn't mind providing some convenience when appropriate.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanyu.

The father of this little follower is the mayor!

Of course, if the system can’t make her successful, then…

Shen Qiansan didn't think about it too much, but he was concerned about Fan Wenqing's investigation.

Fan Wenqing didn't know that it was because of her performance today that caught Shen Qiansan's eye that her fate changed dramatically.

I have to say that in this life, in addition to having abilities, it is more important to have noble people to help you. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, you will just be lost in the crowd.

At most, you may live a little better than the people around you, but it is almost impossible to achieve great success.

Of course, this is something.

Seeing that Shen Qiansan had no objection, Zeng Changfeng asked everyone to take a seat.

Since it is an octagonal table, the seating arrangements are very particular, with upper seats and lower seats being the most common.

The seats facing the main door are the upper seats, the seats with their backs to the main door are the lower seats, and the seats on both sides are the side seats.

According to rural rules, the upper seat is the most honorable, the side seat is the second most honorable, and the last is the lower seat.

The table is square, with a bench on each side for two people to sit on.

Naturally, Zeng Changfeng invited Shen Qiansan to sit at the top seat first. He was a little embarrassed to arrange the remaining top seat.

Should we invite Zhao Hanyu to sit down?

Or should Zhou Xiaozhou be invited to sit down?

According to the rules, the upper seats are for the most distinguished people. Among the crowd, Zhao Hanyu and Zhou Xiaozhou both took Shen Qiansan as their leader. There was nothing to say about Shen Qiansan sitting at the upper seat, he could see it at a glance.

But Zhao Hanyu and Zhou Xiaozhou, one is the mayor's son, so his status is naturally extremely noble, and the other is his future superior.

Also, although the current social atmosphere is still relatively conservative, the custom of arranging a woman to be next to the leader when inviting him to dinner has gradually emerged.

Although Zeng Changfeng was only a small boss and the leaders he came into contact with were not high-ranking, he had seen the world and naturally knew this kind of atmosphere.

Therefore, he was very hesitant about who to arrange to sit next to Shen Qiansan.

"Village Chief Fan, please sit next to me!"

Just when Zeng Changfeng was hesitating about what to do, Shen Qiansan spoke.

"No, no!" Fan Benshan didn't expect Shen Qiansan to invite him to sit at the table, so he quickly declined.

Zhao Hanyu and Zhou Xiaozhou were still there, so they couldn't see him. He said, "Please ask Mr. Zhao to sit at the top table!"

Between Zhao Hanyu and Zhou Xiaozhou, he chose Zhao Hanyu without hesitation.

It was not as complicated as Zeng Changfeng thought. There was only one reason: there are differences between men and women.

Since Fan Benshan had said so, Zeng Changfeng naturally couldn't refute it. He also had to thank him for solving a difficult problem for him, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, please ask Mr. Zhao to take the seat."

Zhao Hanyu walked to the right-hand seat and sat down swiftly. He said to Zeng Changfeng in dissatisfaction, "Why is it so troublesome to sit down? Third brother said that Village Chief Fan should sit next to him, so sit down. You are wasting your time and energy. You are wasting time on such a large table of delicious food."

In fact, as soon as they entered the house, everyone was attracted by the food on the table.

He really is worthy of being the inheritor of the imperial chef. The dishes he cooked were so delicious and appetizing that Zhao Hanyu couldn't wait to sit at the table and eat. But Zeng Changfeng was so blind that he took a long time to arrange the seats. Isn't this a waste of time?

Even though Zhao Hanyu behaves like a well-behaved primary school student in front of Shen Qiansan, that is only towards Shen Qiansan.

He is not so polite to other people. He will directly confront anyone he is unhappy with, revealing his dissolute nature.

Zeng Changfeng felt really embarrassed. He had enthusiastically invited others to sit at the table, but in the end he was rejected.

But it was hard for him to say anything.

Besides, Zhao Hanyu had already taken his seat, so he didn't dare to force Zhao Hanyu to move to the upper seat. He had no choice but to say to Fan Benshan, "Brother, since Boss Shen said so, you should sit next to Boss Shen!"

Although Fan Benshan was embarrassed to sit at the table, he had seen Zhao Hanyu's tyranny, so he had to say awkwardly: "Then I will be shameless and sit next to Boss Shen and have a drink with Boss Shen!"

After saying that, he did not immediately sit down at the upper table, but said to Zhou Xiaozhou: "Mr. Zhou, then you and my daughter can sit at the side table together."

Zhou Xiaozhou nodded and sat down at the left side seat with Fan Wenqing.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Fan Benshan said to Zeng Changfeng, "Then Old Zeng, you sit with Mr. Zhao."

"Okay, I'll accompany Mr. Zhao!" Zeng Changfeng felt bitter. He had been scolded by Mr. Zhao several times today, and in the end he still had to stay by his side.

When he sat down, he was very careful, almost sitting on the edge of the bench.

Well, try to stay away from Zhao Hanyu.

All six people were seated, leaving Zeng Guangxian alone. He was quite casual and said with a smile, "I'll take a seat and serve Boss Shen, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhou."

After saying that, he went to get some wine from the corner cabinet.
