Chapter 668 Toast
Everyone looked at Luo Xiangshi when they heard this, and Luo Xiangshi also smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and planned to say something special.
But Chen Meng continued, "Just last week, regardless of his personal safety, he led the teachers and students of the school to go deep into a very dangerous disaster zone and rescued a group of children trapped there. Although Chen Meng is just a female prostitute, , but I also admire such heroes.”
Her words suddenly froze the originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Also frozen was the smile on Luo Xiangshi's face.
Malu adjusted his collar and stood up with a wine glass in hand, "Thank you, Miss Chen."
Chen Meng didn't say much. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He put down the glass and sat back down again.
The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, all guessing about the relationship between Malu and Chen Meng.
Is it possible that this Principal Ma is actually Deputy Commander Wei's employee? 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 he stand up for Ma Lu again?
Thinking of this, Hou Chengyi and others looked at Luo Xiangshi.
Luo Xiangshi's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Although Deputy Commander Wei was also a member of Fu Tongzhao, he was notoriously naughty and an old fox.
Luo Xiangshi was not very familiar with him. He only learned that Chen Meng was coming to Pingcheng in the afternoon, saying that it was to shoot scenes for a new drama. Luo Xiangshi had an idea and decided to pull the tiger skin of Deputy Commander Wei, so as to persuade the local forces. It can also go more smoothly.
For this reason, he also specially sent Chen Meng a diamond necklace worth more than 6,000 yuan.
In his original plan, Chen Meng just wanted to sing a few songs and show his face. Who knew that this woman would suddenly toast Ma Lu and undermine him.
Is it really Deputy Commander Wei's instructions?
Luo Xiangshi himself was also speculating on the relationship between Deputy Commander Wei and Ma Lu, or was Deputy Commander Wei also interested in the contents of the box?
But Deputy Commander Wei does not own the Talisman Master School, so it would be useless to get the contents of the box.
Luo Xiangshi's thoughts changed rapidly. Unlike others, he was not very afraid of people named Wei. Everyone was working for the president.
Moreover, it is difficult for a member of the Military Commission to interfere in the affairs of the education sector.
But the problem is that Deputy Commander Wei's reputation has clearly calmed everyone present. Originally, they had agreed to Mingxia Group's merger with Houde, but now their attitude has become ambiguous again.
After a while, Mayor Huang spoke first and broke the silence, "I don't think there is any need to rush the acquisition. Boss Luo can have a good talk with Principal Ma."
Director Ye also changed his mind and said, "Yes, the most taboo thing in business is forced buying and selling. Both parties must agree."
Pan Taiyan even said, "The current school site is indeed a bit too big for Houde, but the school will develop. We have to look at the problem from a dynamic perspective. I believe that under the leadership of Principal Ma, Houde will flourish." , there is no need to rush to sell land.”
Seeing that each of them had changed their attitude, Luo Xiangshi knew that it would be impossible if he didn't come up with something real.
So he asked someone to make a call. About half an hour later, Luo Xiangshi went out in person and welcomed a distinguished guest in.
As soon as the visitor entered, everyone in the banquet hall stood up.
"Director Zheng, why are you free today?" Mayor Huang saw the person coming clearly, and he suddenly became excited, stepped forward and said with a smile.
The military governor is the governor of a province's military affairs. He is the second-ranking figure in the province. He is the boss of Mayor Huang and others. When they saw his appearance, many municipal leaders who came to the banquet were surprised.
Governor Zheng waved his hand, asked the adjutant to take off his military uniform, and said casually, "I was supervising the suppression of bandits outside the city. I happened to be a little thirsty. I heard that you were eating here, so I came over to ask for a drink. Why, you are not welcome. ”
"Look at what you said. It's an honor for all of us that you are willing to show your favor, Governor Zheng."
Mayor Huang and Luo Xiangshi together led Governor Zheng to sit down on the main seat, and then all the officials, big and small, wealthy businessmen and gentry present came to see the ceremony one by one. Governor Zheng ignored those people and said hello to 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 security is still very good, and it's not even 8pm yet..."
Director Ye of the police station wanted to defend his work results, but was stopped by Governor Zheng with a look.
Chen Meng glanced at Ma Lu, then at Governor Zheng, then opened his small bag, took out a jewelry box from it, and pushed it in front of Luo Xiangshi.
"Thank you, Boss Luo, for your hospitality. I deserve this generous gift, so I'd better give it back to you."
Before she left, she tactfully reiterated her position, which was regarded as her last support for Malu.
Governor Zheng arranged for four soldiers to escort Chen Meng out of the banquet hall. Then he looked at the others and said, "Sit down, what are you standing for? Eat."
Everyone sat down one after another, and Luo Xiangshi asked the waiter to add another chair.
Governor Zheng did not move his chopsticks, but asked again, "Tell me what you were talking about before."
Hou Chengyi, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, immediately answered, "Boss Luo wants to invest in our Pingcheng City and merge Houde into the Mingxia Group."

"This is a good thing," Governor Zheng said, "Mingxia Group has rich educational experience, as well as a large number of teachers and financial resources. With them taking over Houde, Houde can also develop better."
"It's a pity that Principal Ma doesn't seem to be too happy about it." Hou Chengyi said softly.
Governor Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Who is Principal Ma?"
Everyone looked at Malu together, and Hou Chengyi smiled secretly in his heart.
This young man has been domineering and arrogant since he took over Houde, but this time he met someone more domineering and tougher than him.
However, Malu still looked unhurried. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a long sip before saying.
"It's me."
"Why don't you agree? Maybe it's because you don't have enough money," Governor Zheng slapped the table, "Boss Luo, you can add another 100,000, and I will make the decision. This matter is settled."
"Okay, Governor Zheng." Luo Xiangshi took out the check on the spot, wrote down 300,000, and asked someone to give it to Ma Lu.
But after Ma Lu took it, he didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and tore up the check.
Everyone was really shocked now, and the entire banquet hall fell silent for an instant.
Governor Zheng was also startled for a moment, as if he had realized that someone dared not give him face like this, and then a killing intent surged in his eyes.
"So brave, very good. I haven't seen such a brave young man in a long time, Adjutant Cui."
"Here!" The adjutant named Cui stepped forward immediately.
"Show Principal Ma the results of our suppression of bandits this time."
Upon hearing this, Adjutant Cui asked his men to bring a bloody sack from outside, leaving a long line of blood on the carpet of the hotel along the way.
