Wen Bao considered himself to be assisting Xie Peng and Zhang Hongyang, not wanting to watch a bunch of officials push responsibilities around.
As a representative of foreign investment, handling this special situation with a special approach didn't seem problematic.
So, everyone sat down and opened the food, which was still warm. The services in Shanan's big hotels had improved as well, using thermal boxes to keep the food steaming hot for quite a while.
Once the dishes were laid out, Liu Zhizhong focused on Xie Peng, and with a wry smile, said: "Director Xie, do you call this 'simple meal'? It's too extravagant, isn't it?"
Zhang Hongyang, with a hint of a smile, quickly replied: "Secretary Liu, it's just Director Xie's good intentions, not a bribe, right? Since it's already here, and everyone has agreed, it's meaningless to discuss the price of the food in front of Mr. Wen!"
