Chapter 2337 I Can’t Go

At 6:15 pm, when He Guohua knocked on Qin Feng's door, Qin Feng was sitting at his desk looking through some information about Shazhou City that He Guohua had specially prepared for him.

"Mayor, it's almost time."

"Did they call to urge us?" Qin Feng asked.

"The Secretary-General has called me twice. In the first call, I told me that you had something to do that needed to be postponed. Now the postponement time is almost up, and I just received the second call." He Guohua reported.

"Don't worry, let's wait until he makes the third call." Qin Feng said calmly, without looking up, still looking at the documents in his hand.

He Guohua didn't quite understand what Qin Feng was doing, but he didn't dare to ask. However, he didn't leave. Instead, he picked up the teacup on Qin Feng's table and ran to the side to refill it with water. Then he helped Qin Feng empty the cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table.

Qin Feng saw all of He Guohua's "little tricks", but pretended not to see them.

After finishing all this, He Guohua obediently walked out of the office in the suite, but did not leave. Instead, he sat in the reception room outside.

He Guohua really thought of himself as Qin Feng's secretary.

"Director He." Qin Feng called.

When He Guohua heard Qin Feng's call, he immediately ran into the office: "Mayor!"

"Go and make some arrangements. Cook a few side dishes in the evening and bring them to the room. You just need to drink with me." Qin Feng still didn't look up while looking at the documents while instructing He Guohua.

Qin Feng's order completely confused He Guohua.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. But..." He Guohua was very smart. He did not ask Qin Feng directly, but responded to Qin Feng's order first, and then asked back.

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate."

"Mayor, you are going to attend Mr. Yang's banquet later. Should we arrange the dishes after we come back in the evening?" He Guohua asked tentatively.

"what time is it now?"

"Six forty-two." He Guohua answered after looking at his watch.

"Then let them start cooking now. It's time for dinner." Qin Feng said.

"Eat now? What about Mr. Yang?"

"You go and arrange it first!" Qin Feng did not explain.

He Guohua walked out with a lot of doubts in his mind. Ten minutes later, He Guohua knocked on the door and came in again.

"Mayor, the secretary general called again to urge us to do something." He Guohua reported.

"What time did you meet with them?"

"At first we said that you would leave after you finished your work here, and I called the Secretary-General when you left. Later the time was changed and the arrival was postponed to six o'clock. Then we postponed it to half past six. But now it is already seven o'clock." He Guohua briefly told Qin Feng the whole process.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "So they have been waiting there for at least an hour, right?"

"Correct."

"That's almost time. Give Peng Zhen a call and tell him that I suddenly feel a little dizzy and unwell, so I won't be coming over tonight. Let Peng Zhen have a few more drinks with General Manager Yang on my behalf. I'll find time to meet with General Manager Yang after I arrive at Shazhou." Qin Feng said lightly.

He Guohua was confused. He didn't understand why Qin Feng suddenly made such a decision.

"What? Don't you understand?" Qin Feng asked He Guohua who was standing there in a daze.

"No...no...I'll call the Secretary-General right now." He Guohua hurried out to make a phone call.

That night Qin Feng had dinner in the small dining room in his room.

Although Qin Feng only asked for two stir-fries, He Guohua still had people cook five dishes, three local Gansu and Liang dishes, and two Jiangnan-style dishes.

Because Qin Feng asked him to drink with him, He Guohua got a bottle of Moutai from somewhere.

"The dishes exceed the standard, but it's okay since they've already been cooked. However, the wine hasn't been touched yet. Go and change it. Get a bottle of Ganliang local wine. Otherwise, find a place to eat by yourself and don't come to eat with me." Qin Feng said to He Guohua indifferently after sitting down.

He Guohua was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran out with the Maotai. Only ten minutes later, He Guohua walked in sweating profusely with a bottle of Ganjiu.

"Mayor, this is the most famous wine in Ganliang. It's not expensive, but it tastes good and doesn't make you drunk. Please try it." He Guohua respectfully poured the wine for Qin Feng.

"Sit down and start eating." Qin Feng pointed to the chair opposite him.

He Guohua sat down obediently opposite Qin Feng. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the wine glass and stood up, ready to toast Qin Feng.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Go and take a look." Qin Feng ordered He Guohua.

"Who is this? How come he has no manners at all?" He Guohua was very angry. His blame was not wrong. Can anyone knock on the mayor's door?

As soon as He Guohua opened the door, he saw Peng Zhen standing at the door.

He Guohua was very surprised to see Peng Zhen. He didn't call his name, but just asked, "Aren't you at Mr. Yang's place?"

When Peng Zhen saw He Guohua at Qin Feng's place, his face suddenly turned dark. He ignored He Guohua's question and asked directly, "Where is the mayor?"

"The mayor is dining."

"Director He, who is it?" Qin Feng asked inside.

He Guohua quickly ran over and answered Qin Feng: "Mayor, the secretary general is here."

"The Secretary General is here? Let the Secretary General come in."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Peng Zhen walked in directly and came to the restaurant, passing He Guohua.

"Mayor, I heard that you were not feeling well. What happened? Is it because you are too tired? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Peng Zhen looked very worried and anxious.

In fact, when Peng Zhen came in and saw Qin Feng sitting there leisurely eating food and sipping wine, he knew that Qin Feng was not feeling unwell at all. This was just an excuse.

"It's okay. Maybe I just arrived here and I'm not used to the climate. It will be fine in two days." Qin Feng shook his head and asked Peng Zhen, "Why did you come back? Didn't I ask you to have a few drinks with Mr. Yang?"

"I heard that you were not feeling well, and General Manager Yang and I were worried. General Manager Yang wanted to come and visit you, but I persuaded him to go back." Peng Zhen replied.

Everyone knew whether what Peng Zhen said was true or false, but on the surface everyone had to take it seriously.

"So you haven't eaten yet? Director Chen, get a set of bowls and chopsticks for the Secretary-General, so that we can eat together." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Peng Zhen didn't refuse, so the three of them sat at a table and ate and drank.

"Mayor, there is something I want to ask you but I don't know whether I should or not." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Peng Zhen bravely asked Qin Feng.

"You want to ask me why I agreed to attend the banquet but suddenly didn't go, right?" Qin Feng certainly knew what Peng Zhen wanted to ask.

Everyone knew that Qin Feng's excuse of feeling unwell was just an excuse.

"Apart from the fact that you suddenly felt a little unwell, is there any other reason? Is there something wrong on my part or on Mr. Yang's part?" Peng Zhen chose his words carefully.
