Immortal Martial Arts: Rampaging Through Two Realms From Reality - Section 39

Jiang Hongfei was on the fringes of the department and didn't know how to handle things. He himself couldn't be bothered to notify Jiang Shu, but unexpectedly, he ran into him at the hotel entrance.

It was truly a matter of time and fate.

It was good that someone had come to call him.

"Section Chief Guo, there's no emergency at home, I'll go back later. I've been to this hotel several times, and I even have some Maotai stored here. I just told the waiter to bring the stored wine over…"

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my cousin isn't here to call me back. He must have heard from my dad that I'm following Section Chief Guo now. Section Chief Guo, you have status and position, and it's your birthday today, so he wants to come and bask in your glory too. Section Chief Guo, you don't know, but he's taking his college entrance exams this year. Perhaps, by basking in your glory, he can even achieve excellent results."

As if suddenly enlightened, Jiang Hongfei spoke more and more fluently, praising Section Chief Guo highly in his tone.

"Tsk, Little Jiang, if you had been this sensible earlier, it would have been better. But, it's not too late now. Call your cousin in, let him have a drink."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Excited internally, Jiang Hongfei, finally having passed the hurdle, quickly went out, pulled Jiang Shu in by the arm, and whispered, "Don't say too much! Leave after congratulating him!"

"So you're Little Jiang's cousin. How prepared are you for the college entrance exams this year?"

Looking at the two brothers standing before him, Section Chief Guo put on airs, reeking of alcohol. Just as he finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang:

The contact name lit up.

Section Chief Guo glanced at it, and it was as if he had suddenly seen gold. He quickly stood up and answered the phone carefully, lowering his body. "Yes, Leader, it's Little Guo. Yes, yes, Director Zheng will be arriving at the hotel soon. Alright, I'll go to the entrance to welcome him immediately. I guarantee excellent hospitality. Mmm, understood, understood, I will complete the mission!"

Section Chief Guo's voice was extremely loud. Everyone at the table held their breath, afraid that a single exhale would disturb something important.

"Little Jiang, when will your Maotai arrive?"

After hanging up, Section Chief Guo shook his head, cleared his throat, and tried to sober up. He picked up the complimentary beverage from the table and gulped it down.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked Jiang Hongfei.

"It should be… soon. It usually takes about ten minutes to deliver."

Jiang Hongfei stammered. Even Section Chief Guo had to answer the phone so carefully; who could this leader be?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Being within the system, he understood the clear hierarchy better than anyone else.

"Good! You handled this well! You wait here for my news. When Director Zheng arrives in the private room, you bring in the Maotai."

Section Chief Guo patted Jiang Hongfei's shoulder, picked up his wine glass as he spoke, but this time, it no longer contained wine but a beverage: "The leader has given his orders, the birthday party ends here today. We'll hold another one next time!"

"Section Chief… is Director Zheng the new one?"

At the wine table, someone bold and knowledgeable couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed." Section Chief Guo straightened his back, his belly protruding. He glanced at everyone at the table, then at the confused Jiang Hongfei, and exceptionally offered a suggestion: "When you bring the wine in later, don't speak if you don't have to, and speak less if you're asked to! Just get acquainted, and it will be beneficial for you in the future."

"Then… Section Chief Guo, what should I… call him later?"

Jiang Hongfei stammered even more. He hadn't expected to have such good fortune today, to welcome such a high-ranking leader.

If he could catch his eye.

Wouldn't that be…

Suppressing his inner excitement, he couldn't help but ask.

"His surname is Zheng, so just call him Director Zheng when the time comes."

Section Chief Guo took two deep breaths and replied. Then, as if still not satisfied, he pointed to the ceiling and said:

"Do you understand what to do now?"

The ceiling!

Someone from above!

Was it a leader from the city, or from the province, or…

Watching Section Chief Guo and his entourage tidy themselves up and rush downstairs to the lobby entrance to welcome the guest, Jiang Hongfei held his wine glass, his breathing rapid. He felt as if he had been struck by gold nuggets; he hadn't expected his luck today to strike twice.

He thought it was just a simple family gathering, but he unexpectedly ran into Section Chief Guo's birthday celebration.

He hadn't even been in the private room to offer birthday wishes for ten minutes before a major leader arrived.

It seemed today was his lucky day.

He had endured for so long, and now it was time to soar!

Jiang Hongfei paced back and forth. A bottle of Maotai to give to Section Chief Guo could leave a good impression.

But would one bottle of Maotai be enough to give to a leader even more important than Section Chief Guo?

No!

Far from enough!

Gritting his teeth, as if having made a decision, Jiang Hongfei looked at Jiang Shu, who hadn't left yet, and said, "Little Shu. You stay in the private room. When the Maotai is delivered later, you take it and wait for my news."

After saying that, Jiang Hongfei walked towards the hotel manager's office. He had met the manager a few times. If he could use his connections to prepare some fine red wine and tea in advance, it would surely impress the leader greatly later on!

As for the Jiang family gathering?

It's the same whether he goes or not!

What's more important than his career!

About half an hour later.

Hotel lobby.

A government sedan slowly stopped at the entrance.

Section Chief Guo and others, who had been waiting at the entrance, immediately stepped forward and opened the car door. Section Chief Guo bowed extremely low and said, "Hello Director Zheng, hello. I'm Xiao Guo from the Culture and Tourism Bureau..."

"The director just made arrangements and said I must entertain you well."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. Keep it simple."

The middle-aged man who got out of the car frowned. Seeing the crowd at the entrance, he said, "My guests are very important later. Section Chief Guo, just find two or three people to accompany me."

"Yes... Yes, yes."

Section Chief Guo's face turned red with nervousness. He quickly waved his hand, signaling the people from his department to disperse. He only kept two confidantes and followed Director Zheng closely towards the private room.

A moment later, they arrived at the private room, and Director Zheng pushed the door open. Section Chief Guo glanced at the room number outside, took a picture, and sent it to Jiang Hongfei: "Come quickly."

"Sit, don't be shy."

Director Zheng sat in the main seat. He casually picked a few signature dishes from the menu handed over by the waiter, put it down, and said to Section Chief Guo, who was only half-sitting on the chair:

"The burden of the Culture and Tourism Bureau will increase this year. Section Chief Guo, you must carry it well." Director Zheng's voice was steady, but Section Chief Guo felt like he was floating.

Last month, the director had already hinted at this to him. Now that Director Zheng said it again, it seemed the Culture and Tourism Bureau was about to take off. The heavier the burden of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, the higher his status as Section Chief Guo would be.

His 40th birthday, and a joyous occasion at that.

It really lived up to Jiang Hongfei's words: "Stay forever young, and rise step by step."

This kid was ignorant before.

Now it seemed he could be a lucky general for him!

Section Chief Guo was secretly pleased.

More than ten minutes later, a capable short-haired woman in a formal work uniform pushed open the private room door. Behind her was a girl wearing sunglasses.

The girl's long hair reached her waist, and a dark green cloak covered her entire body, hiding her figure.

She walked directly to Director Zheng, took off her sunglasses, and revealed a stunning yet familiar face: "Hello Director Zheng, hello."

"Hello Miss Ye."

Director Zheng stood up and shook hands with the girl. He said, "Thank you, Miss Ye, for your support of our Jicheng. I believe that after the success of this Martial Arts promotional film, it will usher in a new trend."

"It's all following the general trend."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled.

As a celebrity, although she wasn't exactly high society, she received quite a bit of information. Therefore, after receiving invitations from several cities, she chose the city where her maternal grandfather lived to film the promotional video.

The two sat down to chat. Section Chief Guo also chimed in from time to time, and the atmosphere at the table was harmonious.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock sounded on the door, and Jiang Hongfei's face poked through, holding a tray with a complete set of tea ceremony utensils.

"Hello Director Zheng, hello Section Chief Guo."

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen in her seat, Jiang Hongfei was inwardly shocked. But he quickly recovered. So what if she was a celebrity? In the face of power, even the biggest stars had to lower their status!

He didn't look sideways, pouring tea from the teapot into the cups one by one. The aroma of tea filled every seat.

"Director Zheng, this is Xiao Jiang from our department," Section Chief Guo explained. As Jiang Hongfei walked next to him, he kicked him lightly.
