Lu Tao already knew in his heart at this time: Liu Hong and Li Weijun wanted to take the opportunity of this birthday banquet to settle their grudges with themselves, so they came to celebrate his mother's birthday with such fanfare......

Thinking of this, he already had a plan in his heart, so he waved his hand to Lu Ping and said, "Sister, you can accept these gifts first, but you must register your name and amount, I will find a way to deal with it, you don't have to worry." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and then some people at the surrounding wine tables were talking in surprise: "Isn't this Secretary Luo of the county party committee and County Magistrate Su? Why are they also drinking birthday wine?"

Someone else added: "It's not just Secretary Luo and County Magistrate Su, you see, behind Secretary Luo is Du Shangwu, deputy secretary of the county party committee, behind the county magistrate is Qiu Aihua, director of the county party committee office, and Cai Changming, director of the Finance Bureau, plus Minister Fu of the Organization Department and Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who came in earlier, and now there are six leaders of the Standing Committee of the county party committee attending the banquet." Tsk, Lu Tao's face is really big enough, his mother held a birthday banquet and invited almost all the members of the Standing Committee of the Taolin County Party Committee, when did he get acquainted with so many leaders of the county party committee? It's incredible!"

Lu Tao heard that the two people who were talking were colleagues from his local taxation bureau, so he hurriedly raised his eyes to the door of the banquet hall, and sure enough, he saw Luo Qiulin and Su Yetai walking inside with three people, one of whom was Cai Changming, and the other two were probably Du Shangwu, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and Qiu Aihua, director of the county party committee office, as mentioned by his colleagues, but he didn't know him.

When he saw these leaders, Lu Tao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: Su Yetai has a little friendship with him, and it is understandable that he came to attend the banquet, why did Luo Qiulin, Du Shangwu, and Qiu Aihua also come? Also, Luo Qiulin and Su Yetai are now mortal enemies, why did they appear here together?

Just when he was puzzled, Song Xitang had already trotted over and whispered: "Xiao Lu, Secretary Luo of the county party committee, county magistrate Su and other leaders are here, you hurry over to greet you!"

It turned out that in order to envelop and please Lu Tao, Liu Hong adopted Song Xitang's suggestion and called Luo Qiulin to invite him to attend Lu Tao's mother's birthday banquet. Luo Qiulin considered that Lu Tao was now a key person and had to find a way to pull him into his camp, so he readily agreed to Liu Hong to attend Lu Tao's mother's birthday banquet, and by the way, he also called his two henchmen Du Shangwu and Qiu Aihua, intending to give Lu Tao a big face.

Unexpectedly, when they came to the door of the O'Neill Hotel, they happened to meet Su Yetai and Cai Changming, who also got off the special car and asked each other, they were both going to attend the birthday banquet, so everyone smiled tacitly and came up together......

Lu Tao followed behind Song Xitang, hurriedly walked to the back, and met Luo Qiulin and the others in the center of the banquet hall.

Luo Qiulin once had a lunch with Secretary Zhou Yihong with Lu Tao in Shikeng Village, and he still had an impression of him, seeing him coming over, a smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, listen to Mr. Liu, today is not only a festive day for your mother's birthday banquet, but also your birthday, right?"

Seeing Lu Tao nodded, Luo Qiulin said "Happy Birthday" with a smile, then turned his body slightly sideways, pointed at Su Yetai and the others and said, "You know County Magistrate Su and Director Cai, so I won't introduce you to you." This is Comrade Du Shangwu, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and this is Comrade Qiu Aihua, director of the county party committee office. ”

Lu Tao hurriedly smiled and played with them, while Su Yetai and the others shook hands with him and said a few words of blessing.

After Song Xitang waited for them to introduce each other, he smiled and said, "Leaders, please come and sit in the front." ”

Subsequently, Lu Tao and Song Xitang took Luo Qiulin and others to the front VIP table, at this time, not only who took the lead, but also a few nearby tables suddenly resounded with "crackling" applause, and some people who knew Luo Qiulin and Su Yetai were shouting "Secretary Luo is good, Su County Magistrate is good!"

At this time, Fu Lei, Xie Benzhu, Liu Hong, Li Weijun and others on the VIP table on the right had already stood up, Lu Tao's mother and Tian Guodong and other relatives did not know what was going on, and when they heard the warm applause around them, they saw Fu Lei, Liu Hong and others all standing up, and they were shocked, so they had to stand up with them.

Lu Tao took Luo Qiulin and others to the VIP table, pointed to his mother, who was standing a little cramped, and introduced Luo Qiulin and others: "Leaders, this is my mother, surnamed Tian. ”

It turned out that Lu Tao considered that his mother might be younger than Luo Qiulin and Su Yetai, and it was not good to call her when they greeted her mother, so he deliberately told them his mother's surname.

Luo Qiulin hurriedly stretched out his hand, shook it with Tian Su'e, shook it affectionately, and said with a smile: "Hello Ms. Tian, I wish you a happy birthday, good health, happiness and good luck!"

Lu Tao introduced on the side: "Mom, this is Secretary Luo of the county party committee. ”

Tian Guodong, Tian Guoliang and others were guessing the identities of these visitors in their hearts, and suddenly heard Lu Tao say that this was the secretary of the county party committee, and couldn't help but be stunned again, looking at Luo Qiulin with incredible eyes, and then at Lu Tao, feeling like they were in a dream......

Lu Tao's mother had never dealt with such a big official in her life, and she was a little at a loss for a while, and wanted to say a few words of thanks, but because she was too excited and excited, her mouth snorted a few times, and she couldn't say a word......

Subsequently, Su Yetai, Du Shangwu, Qiu Aihua, Cai Changming and others came over one after another to shake hands with Tian Su'e and congratulate them, while Lu Tao introduced them to his mother one by one, and then he introduced Tian Guodong and several other relatives to Luo Qiulin and other leaders.

At this point, there are only two empty seats left at the VIP table on the right. Tian Guodong is a person in the officialdom after all, and he knows that since the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate are here, they are the most honored guests, and they must be to sit at a table with the birthday star, so he whispered to Lu Tao's aunt and two aunts: "You women don't drink, you all go to the next table to sit, and these positions are for the leaders to sit." ”

Lu Tao's aunts and aunts no longer dared to underestimate Lu Tao at this time, on the contrary, when they saw so many important leaders coming to congratulate Lu Tao's mother on her birthday, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and envy in their hearts, and when they heard Tian Guodong arrange for them to sit at the next table, they all consciously stood up and walked away.

In this way, there were five seats vacated on the table, and Luo Qiulin and the others happened to be five people. Lu Tao's uncle suddenly remembered that these people were all here for Lu Tao's face, and he had to accompany him at this table, so he also took the initiative to stand up and said to Lu Tao with a smile: "Xiao Tao, so many leaders came to my sister's birthday banquet, and our relatives feel very honored. Come, you also sit at this table, have a few drinks with the leaders, and I will go to the next table to accompany Section Chief Chen and Chief Xia. ”

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Uncle, you still sit at one table, I will go to each table to toast later, you can sit anywhere." ”

Uncle Lu Tao had already walked to the next table with a smile.

Su Yetai inadvertently glanced at the VIP table on the left, and suddenly showed an ecstatic expression on his face, and shouted, "Section Chief Chen, why are you here too?"
