Lin Jingyu arrived very quickly, in just about half an hour.

Su Chen went to the iron gate to pick someone up and saw three middle-aged men with very gentle looks following him, one of whom looked a little familiar.

I remembered that I had a banquet here on the fifth day of the New Year.

Su Chen smiled and nodded at him.

"Brother, let me introduce you. This is Yu Guoliang, Director of the Yu Hall. This is Director Liu Yuanxu. This is Director Lu Boyan."

Su Chen: "Hello."

Lin Jingyu introduced: "This is my buddy Su Chen."

Liu Yuanxu and Lu Boyan both greeted him politely, but Yu Guoliang enthusiastically extended his right hand and shook Su Chen's without saying anything: "Long time no see, Comrade Su..."

This title made Liu Yuanxu and Lu Boyan a little stunned.

Lin Jingyu was not surprised.

"Hey buddy, is the food ready?"

Su Chen silently pulled his hand back: "Almost done, do you want to try the plum wine first?"

"Of course not! If you can treasure it, it must be a good thing." Lin Jingyu turned around and said, "Director Yu, you are lucky to have benefited from Director Liu today. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to smell this wine, let alone drink it."

Liu Yuanxu: “…”

Yu Guoliang nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I have to thank Lao Liu. If he hadn't come to report on his work today, I wouldn't have had such a good meal."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace to catch up with Su Chen and Lin Jingyu.

Later, Lu Boyan whispered to Liu Yuanxu: "Old Liu, who is this person? Why is Yu Ting..."

Although Director Liu was puzzled, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about who it is. If Lao Yu can praise them, then we must never offend them."

"Alas, I've just been transferred to Cuicheng. I always feel like I'm walking on thin ice. The waters here are too deep. Whenever I meet someone with the same surname as me, I have to think twice."

Director Liu patted his shoulder and said, "So, be moderate in what you say and do."

"It can only be the."

When the two of them entered the living room together, Lin Jingyu was already smiling and holding a porcelain jar on the table.

Su Chen reminded: "It's only half a can."

"Where's the wine glass? Why not use a bowl for such good wine?" Lin Jingyu was intoxicated after taking a sip, and hurriedly urged Su Chen to bring the wine glass.

"If there's no wine glass, I'll make a phone call..."

"No need, Boss Zhang has already asked someone to prepare several sets," Su Chen calculated, found the glass in the corner of the kitchen cabinet, took it out and washed it.

The rose-red wine was poured in bit by bit, and the tip of his nose was filled with the rich fragrance of plums. Lin Jingyu took a deep breath.

"Good wine!"

That end.

As Liu Yuanxu and Lu Boyan came in, everyone in the living room, including Weng Dongmei, was surprised for a moment, and then quickly stood up and called for help.

After Su Xiaozhu finished calling people, she saw Liu Yuanxu and Lu Boyan walking towards the table. She was surprised and pulled Wu Siwang to ask, "Did you call the director?"

The latter shook his head blankly: "It's not me."

"Who is that?"

Liu Chunhua went over and glanced at her.

"Who else could it be? You two are useless. You actually neglected the leader when you treated him to a meal. If I hadn't asked Ah Chen to call, would the leader have come?"

"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and say hello."

Su Xiaozhu laughed dryly twice and nodded.

When Liu Chunhua pulled him over, he muttered quietly, "Mom, but the director is not my direct leader."

You called the wrong person.

She glanced at Wu Siwang, who also had the same embarrassed expression.

The two of them entered the library. Except for the first day when Lin Jingyu took them to meet the director, the rest of the time, whenever they saw the director, they almost avoided him as far as possible.

The curator is probably busy lately and hasn't contacted them.

and so……

I'm really unfamiliar with it!

But Liu Chunhua was very familiar with everyone: "Leaders, leaders, please sit down quickly. The food is almost ready. Let's sit down first."

"Who is it? Why are you standing there? Speak politely. I won't eat you. Sit down!"

Weng Dongmei was pressed down on the chair by Liu Chunhua.

She looked at Liu Yuanxu with some panic, and when she saw that his attention was all on the plum wine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the curator is still unaware that there is a rift between him and Su Xiaozhu's family.

Fortunately fortunately.

You must be good later.

Don’t talk if you can avoid it.

Now she finally understood.

Su Xiaozhu and her friends must have a very powerful backing to be able to invite the curator to dinner.

Considering that her mother had openly mentioned her background before, it's obvious that she wasn't afraid of being reported...

I’m afraid the curator is not their backer.

Is that this one, or this one?

Although Weng Dongmei kept her mouth tightly shut, it did not prevent her from observing secretly.

Unfortunately, no matter how you look at them, both Lin Jingyu and Yu Guoliang have a gentle and elegant image, more like teachers than big leaders.

She pondered over it, but couldn't figure it out. Someone whispered to her, "The person across from you is Mr. Yu, the one in charge of our culture."

厅?

Weng Dongmei took a breath.

"You're following Director Lin, right?"

Weng Dongmei turned her head in surprise.

The person who spoke was the one who had comforted Su Xiaozhu before.

She didn't look at Weng Dongmei, but continued to smile and nod at the people at the table, and enthusiastically helped to pass the wine glasses.

The sound was small but very clear.

"You should know the Lin family, right?"

"Director Lin is just a branch of the Lin family. The one pouring the wine across from you is a member of the Lin family, known as Lin Bancheng."

Weng Dongmei's pupils constricted.

The man placed the wine glass in front of her and lowered his voice: "I see that you have restrained yourself now. You are a man of clear mind."

"Most of the people who work in our library are relatives of our relatives. Not only them, but also the cleaning ladies and the doormen..."

Also a relative?

Weng Dongmei: “!!!”

Someone nearby said leisurely, "Not everyone dares to offend Director Lin."

Weng Dongmei: “…”

What about you?

She wanted to ask, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Someone nearby smelled the wine and said, "Hmm, it smells really good. What kind of wine is this, Xiaozhu?"

Su Xiaozhu smiled and said, "It's the plum wine my younger brother brought back."

Liu Chunhua saw that there was only a finger's worth of wine in each person's glass and said disapprovingly, "No, Ah Yu, why did you only pour so little?"

"Pour more, pour more! Today is our little Zhu Awang's treat, so we have to make sure everyone drinks to their heart's content, right?"

Lin Jingyu looked at Su Chen silently.

What can Su Chen do?

I had to nod.

"Pour it down."

Lin Jingyu immediately lifted the bottom of the porcelain jar and poured a full cup for Liu Yuanxu.

"Here it comes, the braised food is here!"

Jiang Wanshui came in holding a large iron basin.

A full pot of steaming food, piled high with ribs, chicken legs, and duck gizzards.

Liu Chunhua hurriedly greeted: "Come and try it to see if it tastes good."

Turning around again: "Ayan, bring out the shrimps, crabs, and snails. Qiyue, the vegetables. Ah Hao, is the soup ready..."

In a short while, the round table was full of dishes.

When Weng Dongmei saw the various braised meats in basins, her heart trembled.

Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang usually wore clothes like country bumpkins, sometimes with patches on them. In her opinion, their lives must be very hard.

Why are people so extravagant when cooking meat at home?

Did he spend all his salary on food?

Looking at the still large portions of prawns and crabs, Weng Dongmei fell silent.

Just this one meal, wouldn’t it cost you two months’ salary?

Rich but pretending to be poor...

No, aren’t all people with connections so low-key?
