At noon, Shangri-La.
Car after car arrived, and one by one highly ranked officials from Quyang City convened towards the banquet hall.
Just days before, Vice County Magistrate Xu Qianli, who almost turned Quyang City upside down, had invited the city's officials to the banquet, and the news had spread early.
Senior officials at and above division-level hastily set aside their affairs, declining other social engagements to attend the banquet at the hotel.
Xu Qianli had already been waiting in the banquet hall, greeting guests with a smile, toasting and chatting amiably, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Most of the Quyang City officials were assessing Xu Qianli.
They had known about Xu Qianli's prowess, but they had never imagined he was capable of such feats.
