    The three of them went downstairs together. As they walked, Meng Haichao asked with concern about Wang Baoyu's current situation, especially the progress of the work in the Education Bureau, and asked if he was doing well.

    Being able to speak is not as good as being able to listen. Wang Baoyu had vaguely realized that Meng Haichao probably wanted to transfer him to the city, and he was really excited.

    Xia Yida followed the two people, mumbling a little, and Lao Gao, who had a small pout, seemed to be complaining that Meng Haichao favored one and didn't care too much about her, a former secretary.

    The canteen of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee is a small independent building located on the west side of the building. It coincides with lunch time, so it is naturally bustling with people coming and going.

    Meng Haichao walked in slowly and said a few words to the waiter at the door. The waiter left and took two clean dinner plates from the cabinet and handed them to Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida.

    The cafeteria is spacious, clean and bright, surrounded by dining tables and chairs similar to those in a fast food restaurant. On the long table in the middle, there are dozens of dishes, all of which are full of color, fragrance and taste. They are exquisitely made and seem to be no worse than a big hotel.

    When dining in a place like this, Wang Baoyu still maintained his proper demeanor and just picked up a few dishes at random and took two steamed buns. The same was true for Meng Haichao and Xia Yida.

    But the biggest problem with being with Xia Yida is that she is too eye-catching. Everyone in the room focused their attention on Xia Yida, marveling that there really are such beauties in this world.  Xia Yida was used to this, so he just pretended not to see it.

    Wang Baoyu felt quite proud. The bald man followed the moon and could not help but whisper to Xia Yida: "Except not cutting off the bottom, as long as you are willing to be my wife, I can agree to any conditions."

    "Okay, then sew it up!" Xia Yida chuckled.  Wang Baoyu's face turned cold, and this move was even more cruel.

    As he walked, Meng Haichao greeted the people at the next table, including several deputy secretaries of the municipal party committee and heads of other departments. Of course, they all nodded politely when they met Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida.

    Wang Baoyu finally understood the reason why Meng Haichao brought her to the cafeteria. Mostly it was to get acquainted with these people first.

    Wang Baoyu saw from a distance that sitting on a table in the corner was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was Wei Xingbang, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.  Wei Xingbang looked up and happened to see Wang Baoyu and Xia Yida. He just smiled slightly, did not speak, and continued to eat with his head down.

    "Xiao Wang, go get it if you don't have enough food. You're welcome!" After sitting down, Meng Haichao looked at Wang Baoyu's plate and said with a smile.

    "Hehe, actually I don't have a big appetite." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

    "Is it because you didn't eat well when you were a child that you are so short?" Xia Yida joked.

    Wang Baoyu frowned and said something, but Meng Haichao laughed and said: "Han Xin is not tall, and he assisted Liu Bang to conquer the world; Chairman Deng, the chief architect of our economic development, is not tall, but he can stay in history forever.  Respected by generations to come.¡±

    "Minister Meng, what about those of us who ate well when we were young and grew taller?" Xia Yida raised his head and asked Meng Haichao with a smile, his mouth full, looking very casual.

    "That's a good boy." Meng Haichao laughed, his eyes full of love and pity.

    "Did you hear that, Minister Meng also praised me, little dwarf!" Xia Yida chuckled.

    I¡¯m not that short, right?  Aren't they just not tall enough? They have to be 1.8 meters tall to be tall!  Wang Baoyu thought gloomily. He lowered his head and took a few bites of vegetables. When he looked up suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking across from him. It was Wang Yifu, secretary of the Municipal Law Committee.

    "Haha, Minister Meng has a guest." Wang Yifu stepped forward and smiled.

    "It's rare for Secretary Wang to eat in the cafeteria. Let me introduce you to him. This is my former secretary Xiaoxia, Xia Yida. This is the director of the County Education Bureau, Wang Baoyu." Meng Haichao stood up and said.

    Wang Yifu nodded and smiled at Xia Yida, looked at Wang Baoyu carefully and said, "Xiao Wang is well-known now and has made great contributions in eradicating the Wuxiang cult."

    Wang Baoyu quickly stood up and said politely: "Secretary Wang, you are flattering me. I am just fulfilling the responsibilities of a citizen."

    "Yes, the boy can be taught." Wang Yifu said, taking the dinner plate and going straight to Wei Xingbang's table.

    "Xiao Wang, Secretary Wang seems to be very interested in you!" Meng Haichao said with a smile.

    "We didn't have much friendship before." Wang Baoyu said honestly.

    "I don't think so. Secretary Wang is not interested in many people. He seems to know everything about you." Meng Haichao said thoughtfully.

    "Are you a family?" Xia Yida asked curiously, probably because they both had the surname Wang.

    "no."

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so, look.He is so handsome, with the charm of a mature man.  "Xia Yida clicked his tongue and exclaimed. Wang Yifu is indeed handsome. No wonder Xia Yida, whose eyelids reach to the top of his head, is full of praise.

    However, deep down in his heart, Wang Baoyu did not like this person with the same surname. Of course, it was due to the poisoning incident and his protection of Li Chuanzong, the mayor of Liuhe Town.

    "Yes, Secretary Wang has an extraordinary temperament. I heard that my daughter is also outstanding in appearance and very smart." Meng Haichao chuckled.

    "Are you as beautiful as me?" Xia Yida asked rhetorically.

    "Haha, in the eyes of the elders, you will always be the most beautiful." Meng Haichao said with a smile.

    "He is a dignified political and legal secretary, and I, a small person, dare not compare with him." Wang Baoyu said disdainfully.

    "Actually, no matter how big an official is, they are all mortals by nature. Therefore, no matter who you get along with, as long as you can neither be humble nor arrogant, and correctly grasp the scale, you can get along well." Meng Haichao reminded.

    "Minister Meng, I think you are more interested in this brat." Xia Yida said jealously.

    Meng Haichao laughed and did not explain.  However, his eyes were inadvertently looking at Wang Yifu and Wei Xingbang. The two people had solemn expressions, as if they were discussing something while they were eating.

    Back to Meng Haichao's office, the fragrant tea was still warm. Wang Baoyu couldn't help but light a cigarette. Xia Yida moved his body for fear of choking on the cigarette.

    Meng Haichao flipped through the calendar and said, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Xia, how do you two understand the phrase "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail?"

    Wang Baoyu suddenly became alert. He remembered that not long after he arrived in Funing County, when he was delivering paintings to Meng Haichao, Meng Haichao told him an allusion about "not being allowed to fish". He remembered the story, but not the protagonist's name.  But what did Meng Haichao want to remind himself this time?

    "Minister Meng, I think this sentence makes sense. No matter how good the phoenix is, it's boring to be the tail and smell the butt. It's better to be the head of the chickens, which is more comfortable. When you look at people or things, the first thing you see is  It¡¯s all heads.¡± Wang Baoyu said bluntly.

    "The phoenix is ??a divine bird, extremely noble between heaven and earth. But chickens are livestock after all, so what's the point of being the leader of the flock? I still think it's better to be the tail of the phoenix." Xia Yida refuted Wang Baoyu's point of view.
