Everyone knew that Wang Shufen had volunteered to organize the birthday banquet, and secretly they had expected it to be rather mediocre. But upon hearing her mention air-freighted seafood, bear paw, Moutai, and Zhonghua cigarettes, they could not help but look on in astonishment.
Even the eldest son, Li Jianguo, and the second son, Li Yuguo, had not held such lavish banquets for their own children's weddings.
Li Chengliang gave Wang Shufen a sidelong glance, mulling it over in his mind. As the Secretary-General of the Tianyang City Committee, he frequently accompanied the municipal party secretary in hosting higher-level leaders and often drank Moutai. Yet he recalled that only once, when receiving a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, had a dish of peony bear paw been served. In his three years as Secretary-General, that had happened only that single time. A bear paw at a birthday banquet? Just how much would that cost?!
