"Mei Ling, bring Jiang Feng to the entrance to receive him." Ma Shuji looked at his watch.

Mei Ling stood up and walked out, I hastily followed behind.

I didn't say anything, but silently withdrew my gaze and walked away.

I understand, this is the guest Mei Ling and I are going to receive, this is the guest Ma Shuji is going to invite today, the guest is actually them.

Afterwards, I also went over and shook hands with Corydalis, Director Zhang and Liu Yue.

In front of Director Zhang and Mei Ling, Corydalis was very polite to me. He didn't call me Little Cousin, instead, he greeted me with the reserved look that a leader would normally have, "Xiao Jiang is here too …"

I'm naturally called "Minister Yang," not "Corydalis."

Seeing me shake hands with Liu Yue, the Corydalis smiled, but her eyes still looked at Liu Yue as she smiled instead of looking at me. Perhaps he felt that it was very interesting that her cousin had to pretend to be tactful in this kind of situation.

Director Zhang was very happy to see me. He held my hand and shook it: "Yo-Reporter Jiang, a pen for Jiang Hai, haha … "We meet again …"

"Director Zhang, you should just call me Xiao Jiang …" I said to the Director Zhang humbly.

The Director Zhang obviously had a good impression of me. While talking to me, he patted my shoulder, and as I walked towards the private room, he even affectionately embraced my shoulder for a while.

watched the entire time with a smile, and did not say much.

When we arrived at the private room, Ma Shuji invited everyone to take a seat. Ma Shuji sat at the master's seat, Mei Ling sat at the assistant's seat, Director Zhang sat at the host's seat, and I and Liu Yue sat at the bottom of Director Zhang.

Director Zhang had originally wanted to invite Corydalis to take a seat of honor, but Corydalis insisted: "Old classmate, you're the leader from the province, and also a guest. You have to sit here …"

Director Zhang humbly agreed and then gave up.

Everyone sat down, the food and wine were all served, Ma Shuji was obviously happy, he waited for the waiter to fill the cup and raised it: "Director Zhang, Minister Yang, today is a day of celebration, our River Sea has sent an outstanding talent to the province, this is the glory of our River, and is also the result of our Minister Yang's nurture, the Director Zhang's eyes are filled with wine, the Director Zhang is truly a genius …"

I immediately understood that they were here to send Liu Yue off today. Director Zhang had formally come to meet Liu Yue and had gone through the formalities.

Sure enough, Ma Shuji continued, "Although Liu Yue has already worked in the past, the official procedures have just been completed. Today, this wine can be considered as an official form of sending off wine, and it is also our honor for the Director Zhang to personally represent the Provincial Committee Advocacy Department in picking up Liu Yue …"

Everyone had smiles on their faces. Ma Shuji laughed exaggeratedly, the Director Zhang laughed very reserved, the Corydalis laughed very happily, Liu Yue laughed very happily, and Mei Ling laughed very unsightly. As for me, my smile was very friendly, because I scanned the corner of my eyes until the Corydalis smiled, causing me to feel very uncomfortable.

However, after a while, my mood improved a little, because I saw Liu Yue's gaze warm and gentle looking at me from time to time.

Ma Shuji continued with the opening statement, "From the perspective of the rivers and seas, from the perspective of our Jianghai Daily, we have suffered a loss. We have lost an excellent writing worker, an excellent Party Newspaper Reporter and an excellent Communist, but from the perspective of the province, we are now standing in the overall situation of the propaganda and from the perspective of Comrade Liu Yue's personal development, our loss is worth it … So, today's wine has three different meanings. First, I would like to thank Comrade Liu Yue for her contribution to Jianghai Daily's development and to thank you for your help and support after I transferred to the newspaper. Second, I would like to send you off to Provincial Committee Advocacy Department to do a better job that suits you better.

After saying the third point, Ma Shuji looked at Corydalis meaningfully. "Am I right?

Corydalis was very happy, he nodded his head: "That's right, very good, Xiao Tian is right, very good!"

Both of them were officials of the main County level, yet Corydalis dared to call A Ma Shuji "Xiao Tian", while Ma Shuji did not dare to call him by his name.

From the look in Ma Shuji's eyes, I knew what Ma Shuji meant. Ma Shuji must have known about Corydalis's love for Liu Yue, and was trying to curry favor with him.

In my heart, I powerlessly and helplessly cursed Ma Shuji for messing with his ancestors for eight generations.

Then, everyone raised their goblets in celebration and drank the wine.

After drinking for a while, Liu Yue stood up and toasted, and poured herself a cup of white spirit: "Liu Yue thanks everyone here, thanks Director Zhang for his care and love, thanks Minister Yang for hurriedly recommending me to you, thank you Ma Shuji for nurturing me, thank you Director Mei for your concern, thank you colleague Jiang Feng …"

Liu Yue paused for a moment, looked at me with eyes like water, then said: "Thank you fellow colleague Jiang Feng for your full support …"

After Liu Yue said this, everyone applauded and cheered. Mei Ling also laughed brilliantly.

After everyone drank, Ma Shuji smiled as he looked at Liu Yue, there were some hidden words in his words: "Liu Yue, you need to thank Minister Yang the most, for your matter, Minister Yang will spare no effort, for it will do its best …"

When I heard that, anger rose up in my heart again. I had humiliated Ma Shuji's ancestors once again from the bottom of my heart.

"Yes," Liu Yue laughed, and then raised her wine cup. "Minister Yang, here is a toast to you."

"Hey! What Minister Yang, Liu Yue, is what you called, this little sister toasts her big brother, how good is that … " Ma Shuji seemed to have drank too much, and his words were rather presumptuous.

I saw that Corydalis's face was filled with excitement as his eyes lit up. He immediately raised his cup.

Being called out by a general like Ma Shuji, Liu Yue said, "Corydalis, come, let this little sister toast to you …"

Corydalis and Liu Yue clinked their cups separately, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp.

"Sigh — — that's right," Ma Shuji said as he looked at Corydalis with an ingratiating gaze. "Minister Yang, this matter with Liu Yue, it's all thanks to you. Hehe … This is also Liu Yue's fortune … "

My lungs were bursting with anger, I hated Ma Shuji to death.

The Corydalis was obviously enjoying Ma Shuji's words. He looked at Liu Yue with a gentle gaze, and then said to Ma Shuji: ", this is actually true, it's mainly because Liu Yue did a good job with her work, and has a high political standard. Otherwise, no matter how much effort I put in, I wouldn't want it …"

"Where?" The Director Zhang waved his hand, "Old Yang, without your recommendation, where would I be able to understand Liu Yue? Liu Yue, don't forget about Old Yang no matter what … "

Liu Yue smiled and nodded: "That's true, that's true."

At this moment, I saw that Mei Ling's eyes were also filled with jealousy and anger. Although the time was short, it immediately became a smiling expression.

Seeing the high officials teasing me here about Liu Yue, especially talking about Liu Yue's beautiful future and Corydalis's great achievements, I sat here alone. I suddenly felt very small in my heart.

After a while, Director Zhang said, "Liu Yue has only been working at our department for more than two months. Although the time is short, his achievements are remarkable, no matter if it's her writing skills, or her organizational skills, they're all very unique. Especially her ability to control the overall situation.

"Old classmate, from today when Liu Yue goes to your Information Office, you'll have to train him with great effort. You have to think more carefully about training a successor …" The Corydalis said.

"Hehe …" "Yes …" The Director Zhang laughed, "Liu Yue is currently transferred to the same level. However, it's a good time for us to make a personnel adjustment. My position is still missing a Vice Division Chief …."

"Alright, alright. When the time comes, it'll be up to you …" The Corydalis was obviously very happy, he raised his cup and said to the Director Zhang: "Come, Old classmate, cheers! Thank you for taking care of me. Also, I wish the Old classmate good luck in making it to the next level … "

When I heard it, I was very happy. If Liu Yue was promoted to the secondary branch, then wouldn't it be considered subcounty, the same level as my family's Vice County Governor.

I could not help but look at Mei Ling with a happy expression. I wanted to see the expression on Mei Ling's face that had gone bad from anger, but I saw that Mei Ling had an exaggerated affectionate smile on her face as she raised her cup and drank with Liu Yue, "Director Liu … Oh... "No, Chief Liu. Come, let me toast you …"

Liu Yue hurriedly replied, "Director Mei, I can't do that, but I can't do it. Let's drink a glass of our sister's wine … "

After finishing the wine, Liu Yue poured a full cup and picked up the wine cup. She looked at me while everyone was drinking, "Jiang Feng, come. When our Department of Public Information's journalists first came here, they were all led by me. You're the last university student I brought along, and also the most outstanding university graduate I've ever taught … "

I looked at Liu Yue's warm expression and raised my cup. "Director Liu, I wish to pay you my respects, and thank you from the bottom of my heart …"

After Liu Yue and I finished our drinks, Liu Yue wiped her lips and smiled at me, revealing a mischievous smile.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang is also considered as our Liu Yue's last disciple …" The Director Zhang looked at me while laughing and said to Ma Shuji, "Ma Shuji, this soldier is not bad. A few days ago, I saw an essay he wrote.

Corydalis also nodded, "Hmm. I often read Xiao Jiang's articles in the newspapers. At the beginning, I thought that Xiao Jiang was an old reporter who was around 40 years old, but only after seeing him did I know that he was so young … You just joined the job and you've already become a famous journalist. Not bad, you're young and capable … "

Director Zhang's and Corydalis's words made me ecstatic. With a humble smile on my face, I hastily stood up to pour water for everyone.
