The largest luxury private room on the third floor of Yongnan Hotel.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, everyone took their seats.
There were five people on Qin Chuan's side, and five on Ye Meiyun and Xu Ronghua's side, totaling ten people, making it quite a lively gathering.
Except for the three people Ye Meiyun had recently recruited from Jinmen, almost everyone else was from the Ziguan Electronics Factory, and they were all familiar with each other.
Especially in an unfamiliar place like this, fellow provincials from the same hometown felt even closer, and their relationships instantly became much more intimate.
They were all chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Ye Meiyun sat beside Qin Chuan. He didn't know what brand of perfume the mature woman next to him was wearing, but it smelled very good, making him secretly take a few sniffs.
"Did my brother say when he'll be here?"
Ye Meiyun suddenly asked quietly.
"He didn't say, but I think he'll definitely come. He might even be at the door right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard from outside the open private room door, accompanied by the voice of a waiter: "County Magistrate Ye, Boss Qin's private room is right here!"
Everyone turned their heads, looking towards the door.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Ye Qingping and Wang Ping'an appeared at the door.
The county magistrate's gaze first swept around, finding that most of the people were strangers. Just as he was about to frown, he suddenly saw Ye Meiyun sitting next to Qin Chuan, and his eyes widened considerably.
His usually calm and steady face showed a significant emotional fluctuation for the first time.
At this moment, Ye Meiyun had already stood up, her elegant and beautiful face showing unconcealed excitement.
Wang Ping'an, who was following Ye Qingping, also noticed Ye Meiyun. As Ye Qingping's secretary, he naturally recognized Ye Meiyun, and his face showed a look of deep surprise.
"County Magistrate Ye, a seat has already been prepared for you. Please come and sit down!"
At this moment, Qin Chuan enthusiastically stood up and beckoned.
Ye Qingping regained his composure, walked in without a word, and stood in front of Qin Chuan and Ye Meiyun.
"Brother!"
Ye Meiyun called out crisply.
The people in the originally quiet private room, who were already very surprised by Ye Qingping's arrival, almost dropped their eyeballs to the floor upon hearing Ye Meiyun's address.
What did they just hear?!
Ye Meiyun called the county magistrate "brother." They both had the surname Ye. Could they really be family?
Only Li Chunsheng and Xu Ronghua, who had some understanding of Ye Meiyun's family background, appeared slightly calmer, as they knew some of her family's details.
Given her family background, having a county magistrate as an elder brother was not surprising at all; it even felt a bit understated.
"Meiyun, what are you doing here?"
Ye Qingping asked.
"Brother..."
Ye Meiyun wanted to explain, but Qin Chuan spoke first, "County Magistrate Ye, this is a long story. Why don't we sit down, eat, and chat slowly!"
Ye Qingping said no more, leading Wang Ping'an to take a seat.
As the head of a county, he had that much self-control.
"Waiter, we can start serving the dishes!"
Qin Chuan called out, and soon, exquisite dishes were placed on the table one after another. The private room was immediately filled with the aroma of food, making one's mouth water.
The wine was Maotai. Those who didn't drink alcohol were served soft drinks.
"Everyone, before we eat, please allow me to say a few words."
Qin Chuan stood up. No one touched their chopsticks, and they all watched him quietly.
"First, I would like to solemnly introduce a distinguished guest to everyone. He is the father and mother official of our county, County Magistrate Ye Qingping!"
"This is Wang Ping'an, the County Magistrate's secretary!"
"Let's welcome them with applause!"
Clap, clap, clap!
The applause was warm and enthusiastic. Everyone applauded vigorously. They were all adults and understood the significance of a county magistrate attending this meal. It proved that Qin Chuan had considerable influence in Yongnan County.
"Hello, everyone!"
Ye Qingping and Wang Ping'an stood up and smiled slightly at everyone.
"County Magistrate Ye, Secretary Wang, and at the same time, I want to introduce the brothers and sisters who are attending this meal to you two."
Qin Chuan spoke again.
"Today, everyone attending this meal are elites newly recruited by our Xinhua Electronics Factory, the backbone and founding members of Xinhua Electronics Factory in the future. Many of them are willing to give up the hustle and bustle of big cities and come to our small county town because they trust me."
Almost as soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Ye Qingping keenly grasped the key point in his words and couldn't help but glance at his sister...
Ye Meiyun gave her brother a slightly guilty smile.
At this time, Qin Chuan continued, "Many of them graduated from prestigious universities. For example, some are from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, some from Northwest University of Science and Technology, some from North China University of Technology, and Zhejiang University of Technology... and so on!"
"Each one is a rare talent!"
"People from all over the country gathering here is a great life encounter..."
Listening to Qin Chuan's eloquent speech, Ye Qingping and Wang Ping'an's expressions gradually shifted from calmness to surprise. They seemed to have not expected that Qin Chuan had recruited so many elites in such a short time.
How did he do it?!
If so many top talents joined, then Xinhua Electronics Factory might truly be revitalized.
Thinking of this, even the steady Ye Qingping couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
He had indeed not misjudged the person. The young man beside him was too capable of causing a stir, even seemingly kidnapping his own sister without informing him beforehand.
With Ye Qingping's intelligence, after the initial surprise, he had roughly guessed why Ye Meiyun was here.
She was definitely lured by this fellow Qin Chuan. He just didn't know what kind of spell he had cast on his sister...
He would have to ask her carefully later!
"Come, this first glass of wine is for County Magistrate Ye, our father and mother official!"
While Ye Qingping's thoughts were in a mess, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
He quickly regained his composure, smiled, picked up his wine glass, and stood up.
"You are all too kind!"
"For you to come from distant big cities to this remote and humble small county town is a great honor for me!"
"This glass of wine should be for me to toast you all!"
Ye Qingping, as a government official, spoke beautifully and pleasantly, making everyone feel happy.
"Thank you for contributing to this small county. I believe that with so many talents gathered here, you will surely be able to achieve great things!"
"And I also believe that your boss, Qin Chuan, has the ability to lead you all to prosperity!"
"Come, I'll toast you all with this glass!"
After speaking, Ye Qingping raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Ye Qingping's straightforwardness, everyone, whether they could drink or not, stood up and, amidst laughter and jokes, finished the wine (or soft drinks) in their glasses.
The entire private room was instantly filled with joy and laughter...
