Chapter 668 Toast

Everyone looked at Luo Xiangshi after hearing this. Luo Xiangshi also smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and planned to say some polite words.

But Chen Meng continued, "Just last week, he led the teachers and students of the school into a very dangerous disaster zone without caring about his personal safety, and rescued a group of children trapped there. Although Chen Meng is just a woman, she also admires such heroes."

Her words made the originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere stagnate.

The smile on Luo Xiangshi's face also stagnated.

Ma Lu straightened his collar and stood up with the wine glass, "Miss Chen, thank you for the compliment."

Chen Meng didn't say much, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass, and sat back again.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they were all guessing the relationship between Ma Lu and Chen Meng in their hearts.

Could it be that this Principal Ma is actually Deputy Commander Wei's man? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Chen Meng chose to toast at this moment.

But wasn't Chen Meng invited by Luo Xiangshi? Why did she stand up for Malu?

Thinking of this, Hou Chengyi and others looked at Luo Xiangshi.

Luo Xiangshi's face was uncertain. Although Deputy Commander Wei was also Fu Tongzhao's man, he was notoriously slippery and was an old fox.

Luo Xiangshi and he were not very familiar with each other. He only learned in the afternoon that Chen Meng was coming to Pingcheng, saying that he was going to shoot a new drama. Luo Xiangshi suddenly had an idea and decided to pull the tiger skin of Deputy Commander Wei, so that he could persuade the local forces more smoothly.

For this reason, he also specially asked someone to send Chen Meng a diamond necklace worth more than 6,000 yuan.

In his original plan, Chen Meng only needed to come to sing a few songs and show her face. Who knew that this woman would suddenly toast Malu and ruin his stage.

Was it really the instruction of Deputy Commander Wei?

Luo Xiangshi himself was also guessing the relationship between Deputy Commander Wei and Malu, or did Deputy Commander Wei also have a fancy for the things in the box?

But Deputy Commander Wei did not own the Talisman Master School, so it was useless to get the things in the box.

Luo Xiangshi's mind turned quickly. Unlike others, he was not afraid of people with the surname Wei. Everyone was working for the president.

Moreover, it was difficult for a member of the Military Commission to interfere in the affairs of the education sector.

But the problem was that Deputy Commander Wei's name obviously intimidated everyone present. Originally, they had agreed to the merger of Mingxia Group and Houde, but now their attitude became ambiguous again.

After a while, Mayor Huang spoke first, breaking the silence, "I don't think there's any need to rush the acquisition. Boss Luo can talk to Principal Ma."

Director Ye also changed his words and said, "That's right. The most taboo in business is forced buying and selling. Both parties must agree."

Pan Taiyan even said, "The current school site is indeed a bit large for Houde, but the school will develop. We must look at the problem from a dynamic perspective. I believe that under the leadership of Principal Ma, Houde will prosper. There is no need to rush to sell the land."

Seeing that they all changed their attitudes, Luo Xiangshi knew that they had to come up with something real.

So he asked someone to make a phone call. About half an hour later, Luo Xiangshi went out in person and welcomed a distinguished guest in.

As soon as the visitor entered the door, everyone in the banquet hall stood up.

"General Zheng, how come you are free today?" Mayor Huang saw the visitor clearly, and suddenly shuddered, stepped forward and smiled apologetically.

The governor is in charge of the military affairs of a province. He is the second most important person in the province and the superior of Mayor Huang and others. When many city-level leaders who came to the banquet saw him, they were surprised.

Governor Zheng waved his hand and asked his adjutant to take off his military uniform. He said casually, "I was supervising the suppression of bandits outside the city. I was thirsty. I heard that you were having a meal here, so I came to ask for a glass of wine. What, are you not welcome?"

"Look at what you said. It is an honor for all of us that you, Governor Zheng, are willing to show us your favor."

Mayor Huang and Luo Xiangshi led Governor Zheng to the main seat and sat him down. Then the officials, big and small, and the wealthy businessmen and gentry present came to greet him one by one.

Governor Zheng ignored those people and greeted Chen Meng first, "It's getting late. Deputy Commander Wei is very worried about your safety, Miss Chen. How about I send my men to escort you back to the hotel to rest."

"Pingcheng's public security is still very good. It's not even 8 o'clock in the evening..."

Director Ye of the police station wanted to defend his work results, but was stopped by Governor Zheng with a look.

Chen Meng looked at Ma Lu, then at Governor Zheng, then opened her small bag, took out a jewelry box from it, and pushed it in front of Luo Xiangshi.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Luo. I feel ashamed of this generous gift. I'll give it back to you."

Before leaving, she tactfully reiterated her position, which was considered her last support for Ma Lu.

Governor Zheng arranged four soldiers to escort Chen Meng out of the banquet hall, then looked at the others and said, "Sit down, why are you all standing, eat."

Everyone sat down, and Luo Xiangshi asked the waiter to add another chair.

Governor Zheng did not pick up his chopsticks, but asked again, "Tell me what you were talking about before."

The director of the Municipal Education Bureau, Hou Chengyi, immediately replied, "Boss Luo wants to invest in our Pingcheng City and merge Houde into Mingxia Group."

"This is a good thing," Governor Zheng said, "Mingxia Group has rich educational experience, a large number of teachers and financial resources. With them taking over Houde, Houde can also get better development."

"It's a pity that Principal Ma doesn't seem to be happy." Hou Chengyi said softly.

Governor Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Who is Principal Ma?"

Everyone looked at Ma Lu, and Hou Chengyi laughed in his heart.

This young man has been arrogant since he took over Houde, but this time he met someone who is more domineering and tougher than him.

However, Ma Lu still looked calm and unhurried. He took the teacup in front of him and took a sip leisurely before saying.

"It's me."

"Why don't you agree? Is it because the money is too little?" Governor Zheng slapped the table, "Boss Luo, add another 100,000, I will make the decision, and this matter is settled."

"Okay, Governor Zheng." Luo Xiangshi took out a check on the spot, wrote down 300,000, and asked someone to give it to Ma Lu.

But Ma Lu didn't even look at it after taking it, and tore up the check.

Everyone was really shocked, and the whole banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

Governor Zheng was also stunned, as if he realized that someone dared to give him no face, and then a murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"Very brave, very good. I haven't seen such a courageous young man for a long time, Adjutant Cui."

"Here!" The adjutant surnamed Cui stepped forward immediately.

"Show Principal Ma the results of our bandit suppression this time."

Adjutant Cui heard the words and asked his men to bring a bloody sack from outside. As he walked, he left a long blood line on the carpet of the hotel.
