Chapter 518: Enter Beijing, Catch the Wind
March 23rd, light snow, 6:20 p.m.
Zhang Xingming, Li Chun, and Zhang Liguo walked out of the airport and got on a Mercedes-Benz from the Beijing Office to pick up people at the airport.
This time is different from before, Zhang Xingming came to attend the meeting as a national representative this time, and he walked in an official body, and the corresponding pomp and circumstance of the Beijing Office did not dare to be less at all, and the reception banquet was like a ball.
Although a series of social activities such as folk dance halls and ballroom dancing were banned during this period in China, ballroom ballroom dances were still held at the top level and were very popular.
And it is rare that Mr. Shen also came, he came to Beijing in advance to attend the pre-conference meeting, and he did not live on the side of the Beijing Office, which was specially here to support Zhang Xingming.
During the banquet, Deputy Wu, Director Wen, Director Liu, Deputy Director Xiao, Beijing Military Region, anyway, directly and indirectly, Zhang Xingming's relationship in Beijing in the past few years has all come, some like the CBD command office, there are a few old people, because of the physical relationship, I didn't arrive, but I also sent a secretary or family member, and everyone gathered together. Although all of them came here in private capacities, who would dare to underestimate the power of these people coming together? On this night, countless eyes in the capital stared at the Liaodong Beijing Office.
The old man was quite happy that night, and the laughter did not stop all night.
Zhang Xingming is too young to show up on this occasion, anyway, everyone who came knew what was going on. The party was held in the name of the Liaodong delegation, except for a few close people who directly found Zhang Xingming to congratulate him, most people thought it was to save the face of the old man, but it didn't matter, as long as he could come, this was the feeling, and it was the same on the old man's head, Zhang Xingming naturally knew it.
At this time, the cold lunch meeting is more popular in China, that is, the buffet form like abroad, everyone can walk around and chat at will, and the venue is placed in the food and used at will, but there is no service staff walking back and forth, and you have to walk over by yourself to pour wine or something.
The party went on for a while, some people on the old man's side sat on the side, the music sounded, someone began to dance in the middle, and the younger ones gathered on the other side to talk, this kind of party is also a social platform, and it is a good place to expand contacts.
Zhang Xingming had nothing to do, so he and Li Chun ran to the dining area to get something to eat, he was really hungry, and he didn't eat anything when he got off the plane, so he drank some water.
Li Chun was also hungry, saying that there was nothing dangerous in this place, a few people took something and sat on the side of the table to eat, Zhang Xingming himself moved here with a plate to eat, and he came to a piece when he saw something, in fact, since his previous life, Zhang Xingming liked this kind of buffet, and he didn't have to bother to eat anything, he put it here, and he took a piece to see what was good, it was convenient and could eat well.
The chefs here in the Beijing Office are still quite powerful, but they are also normal, and the face of a province must be quite in place.
Most of Chinese cuisine is actually not suitable for this kind of cold dinner, and Chinese cuisine should pay attention to a completeness, pay attention to color, shape and taste. However, everything is afraid of studying, and the task has to be done, and more and more leaders like this free way of hospitality, no need to be serious, no rules and regulations, and it is convenient to speak and talk about things.
As long as you are seated in a formal Chinese banquet, you will be limited to those who speak, and you will die with these two or three people around you, which is really inconvenient.
So with the efforts of some chefs, a number of dishes specially adapted to the cold meal have been developed, not to mention pastries, buns and dumplings, and the dishes are also made into an individual one by one, take out a few pieces when eating, and pour some prepared juice on the line, although it can't be so flavorful as the main dish, but it is not difficult to want to be delicious.
There are also hot stir-fries, and green vegetables do not have high requirements for shape and color, so they can be fried and placed there.
Zhang Xingming's bite of this, that piece, a bowl here, and a spoonful of that side are eaten around the table, anyway, no one pays attention to here, besides, no one will say that he is unruly.
The service staff of the Beijing Office was serving at the table, looking at Zhang Xingming's appearance, he covered his mouth, and the chef came to ask him what he wanted to eat, and he wanted to go down and make him a special one, Zhang Xingming shook his head and refused, so he shook his head and ate, and while eating, he flew his eyes to the waiter who was too happy.
There are a lot of people here today, the old man's face is still big enough, and Zhang Xingming's own influence is actually not small, there will be no shortage of young people at a party like this, and the older generation knows that such an occasion is an opportunity for young people to make friends and expand their circle of friends, so they generally bring their juniors over, or directly let the representatives of the juniors participate.
The domestic prince's circle has just risen at this time, the economy has developed, opened to the outside world, and the power has stabilized, and naturally there will be classes, and these little guys who come out with gold are naturally high, thinking much more than ordinary people of the same age, and the education and vision they have received are indeed different, and they have known the importance of the network circle early, and they are naturally eager for such a party.
These people are also divided into circles, probably according to age, in fact, the level of the family accounts for a considerable proportion, why do you play with the people of the deputy country of the department? Do not feel inferior? Of course, there are exceptions, even if it is pleasing to the eye, there is no way, but this situation is relatively rare.
At this moment, the young people in the field divided into three small circles and talked together.
The entire second floor of the Beijing Office is the banquet hall, which is specially prepared for this kind of large-scale party, with a size of nearly 200 square meters, and four pillars in the middle, which divides the whole hall into several pieces, and the innermost is the dining area.
People with status are all active in the middle area, the door is a lower level, there is a guard at the door, and the leaders can take a picture when they come out and go in, in case they are favored by which pair of eyes, isn't it?
And inside is the world of young people.
The three circles are scattered and blended here, there are more than a dozen people, and there are a few obviously older ones who are obviously across the circle, and each circle is very free, becoming the contact point of the three circles, so that the obviously weaker side can also insert a few words with that side. To say that it is weak, it means that a few people here are obviously younger, and in equal class circles, they have no right to speak when they are young, who let you be born late.
Zhang Xingming glanced at it casually and didn't care, and ate his own things. Li Chun and the others sat in the corner on the other side, and there were obviously people sitting there accompanied by bodyguards, and there were also about a dozen people, but there was no communication between these people, except for Li Chun and a few of them eating, and the rest were sitting there quietly with a glass of water or drink.
Just ate a piece of fish, poured on the bright red sweet and sour sauce, Zhang Xingming who ate it was full of relish, tasted it, reached out and took two more pieces, the fish pieces have been thorned, cut into diamond shapes, wrapped in the library, fried to golden gold, bite but do not feel hard, but very soft, pour the juice, take a bite full of fish fragrance, sweet and sour, delicious.
