Hu Ming knew that he was there to make friends, so he immediately lowered his head.

Shangguan Simi's expression relaxed considerably upon seeing Hu Ming's actions. He spoke, "Governor Hu, although our conditions are better now, as Party members and cadres, we must set an example and start with frugality. While I do drink quite a bit of fine wine at work, that's always due to work needs. In private, it's much better to be frugal!"

After hearing what Shangguan Simi said, Hu Ming's old face turned red.

It seems that as the head of a province, he has come to learn politics from Shangguan Siyi.

But he didn't dare lose his temper. He could only pretend to be educated and said, "Director Shangguan is indeed very conscious! I think what you said is absolutely right. We Party members and cadres should set an example and work frugally! In fact, I specially prepared this fine wine today just to meet Director Shangguan. I wouldn't normally dare drink such a luxurious thing! After all, we only get such a small salary each month. How can we afford such expensive things!"

Originally I wanted to curry favor with the powerful, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a gathering to recall the good and bad times!

"Let's serve the seafood! Director Shangguan, you must taste it today. I specially asked the hotel to airfreight the seafood!" Hu Ming continued with a flattering look on his face.

"Oh? There's seafood? Governor Hu will be disappointed. I don't eat seafood. I'm allergic to it!"

Hu Ming frowned, and at this time, he finally understood a little!

It’s not that Shangguan Siyi doesn’t like to drink high-end red wine or eat seafood, but maybe he has offended others in some way?

He quickly said anxiously: "Director Shangguan, is there something I did wrong?"

Shangguan Simi shook his head and said, "Governor Hu has misunderstood. I have been allergic to seafood since I was a child. This is not directed at Governor Hu!"

After hearing this, Hu Ming finally felt relieved.

In fact, Shangguan Siyi did this for a big purpose, which was to control Hu Ming.

She is a woman to begin with, and considering the current situation of the Shangguan family, it would take some tests to make friends!

After Hu Ming went through a small test, Shangguan Siyi finally did not make things difficult for him again.

At the table, the three of them were having a pleasant conversation.

Shangguan Simi maintained the demeanor of a "superior" and kept telling Hu Ming and "Mr. Huo" some interesting international stories.

At the same time, in order to show his sincerity, Shangguan Simi also told them some of the romantic and unofficial stories in the circle of young masters in the capital, as well as some of the leaders'...

During the dinner, after careful consideration, Hu Ming asked his secretary to go out and purchase some luxury items for female comrades.

Although Shangguan Siyi talks about being frugal, who knows if he is wary of himself?

Others may not want it, but you cannot not give it!

If he really doesn't give it to her, Shangguan Siyi will probably curse when he goes home at night.

You come to me to do something, so just have a meal with me?

Who wants your stinky meal!

Hu Ming has been in the officialdom for decades, how could he not understand the ways of the world?

"Director Shangguan, these are just some common daily necessities, and they are also specialties I brought from Yunchuan Province. Please accept them."

Hu Ming pointed at the large and small packages that his secretary had just delivered and said sincerely.

Shangguan Siyi glanced around and saw all the logos of the donkey brand and the big horse head.

Especially since there was a limited edition package inside, Shangguan Siyi saw it at a glance.

That bag is the top-of-the-line version from the Damatou brand. It is said that only a hundred or so are available worldwide. The value of this bag can be exchanged for a house in second- or third-tier cities.

A hint of desire flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it back.

Hu Ming is quite the master! He has thoroughly researched the term "catering to someone's taste."
