Deng Bonan nodded and said: "What Lao Cao said is true, Director Xu, you don't know, during this time, our Jincheng City Bureau is really desperate for this case." Not to mention anything else, as far as I know, Lao Cao is stationed at the case handling point of Shudu University, and he has not been home for more than half a month.

Director Xu, our city bureau has indeed done its best for this case. In the cold winter of the month a while ago, on a snowy day of minus 5 degrees, our policemen still stuck to their posts and squatted, and one by one they froze into snowmen, and when they saluted me, they were all trembling and unable to stand steadily, and they were almost unable to speak -- looking at my comrades like this, my tears were about to come out!

I feel that solving a case is not only about hard work, but also about luck. Just like the ancients said, the city bureau has worked hard enough, but the luck is not very good, but it is impossible to find clues, no wonder our comrades, Director Xu, do you say this is the truth?"

As he spoke, Deng Bonan held the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't raise it, he looked at Xu Yan with blazing eyes, although his face was smiling, but the depths of his eyes revealed a bit of nervousness and anxiety - not only him, Deputy Director Cao was also looking at Xu Yan, at this moment, his face had long lost the slightest smile, and some were just anxious and pleading.

At that moment, Xu Yan really had a feeling: these senior officials of his father's generation in front of him, who were old enough to be their fathers, looked at themselves like interrogated suspects looking at the police, their eyes were full of pleading, as if their next words and deeds could determine their fate. Especially the deputy director Cao, he was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, his hands were tightly gripping the cup, and his eyes were anxious.

What the hell is going on?

Xu Yan couldn't figure it out. However, he intuitively knew that this was the most critical time for today's feast, and at this time, he must not say the wrong thing casually.

Xu Yan nodded slowly and said cautiously: "Mayor Deng has a point. Many things really depend on luck -- the same is true for handling cases, and the comrades cannot be blamed for not going well. ”

Listening to Xu Yan echoing Deng Bonan's statement, several leaders in Jincheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They exchanged glances very covertly, and Deng Bonan sighed with emotion: "Director Xu is worthy of being a cadre from the central government, this level is high and reasonable. Comrades who know the difficulties of our grassroots work and sympathize with our work! With this glass of wine, I would like to pay tribute to Director Xu separately and thank Director Xu for his concern and understanding of our grassroots work! I also ask Director Xu to give more guidance and criticism to our work -- come on, do it!"

"Where and where, I want to learn from the comrades in Jincheng - Mayor Deng, I respect you!"

With Xu Yan and Deng Bonan toasting alone. The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively. At that moment, Secretary-General Zhang greeted loudly again: "Come, come, come." Director Xu, this is the first time you have come to our Jincheng, right? Our Jincheng specialties are unique in their flavor and among the eight major cuisines in China. Come, try this 'husband and wife lung piece' - hehe, Director Xu. The dish of husband and wife lung slices can be made in restaurants all over the country, but only in our Jincheng can you eat the most authentic!

Director Xu, I won't tell you anything. I've eaten Sichuan restaurants in other places a few times, and I feel that they are particularly unpalatable -- what do those cooks know besides desperately putting chili peppers and oil? None of the Sichuan restaurant chefs in other places can learn the charm of the freshness and deliciousness of our Jincheng cuisine, and when it comes to the characteristics of our Jincheng, they only know that they are desperately putting chili peppers, and they have ruined the name of our Jincheng cuisine -- Director Xu, can you taste it, is there any difference between this lung slice and the one you eat outside? Is this taste more vivid?

Xu Yan sandwiched a few pieces of "husband and wife lung slices" - this thing didn't seem to taste any different from what he ate in the alley at the back door of Shudu University. But looking at Secretary General Zhang's gracious appearance, he was embarrassed to expose it, so he could only follow Secretary General Zhang's tone and say: "Sure enough, the taste is very fresh, and this taste is really different from what you eat outside!"

Everyone toasted each other with cups. The dark-faced Deputy Political Commissar Lu in the garrison area spoke very little at the beginning and seemed quite low-key, but after a few glasses of wine, he became active and began to ask Xu Yan: "Director Xu, there is a director surnamed Wen in your intelligence department, a man in his thirties, who is very familiar with me and has a good friendship! His name is Wen ...... What's the matter?"

Xu Yan thought to himself, you can't even say Wen Xiuzhi's name, and you are embarrassed to say that you have a good relationship with others? He glanced quietly, but Huang Xi was already smiling sweetly: "Political Commissar Lu, what you said is not the text of our bureau chief Wen Xiuzhi?"

When the boss is talking, it is generally not easy for his subordinates to interject. But there are exceptions, such as Huang Xi, a young and beautiful beauty, that is a privilege everywhere, she interjected and replied, Political Commissar Lu did not look unhappy at all, but looked very excited: "Yes, yes, yes, it's called Wen Xiuzhi!" He is really a character, the amount of alcohol is really good, last time he led the team down to Jincheng, the garrison invited him to dinner, and I and Political Commissar Zhang invited him to dinner, but he was one against two, and he poured us down - amazing! Later, I told Political Commissar Zhang that with Colonel Wen's drinking, and he is so young, he will be promoted to general sooner or later!"

Xu Yan and Huang Xi glanced at each other, Xu Yan bowed slightly, and Huang Xi smiled sweetly and said: "Political Commissar Lu, you are really sharp-eyed, and you are like a god! Thanks to your noble words, Director Wen has just returned from the National Defense University training and has been promoted to the rank of major general--now, he has been promoted to the deputy director of our intelligence department. ”

Hearing that Wen Xiuzhi had been promoted to major general and deputy minister, the political commissar Lu said "ahhhh

Political Commissar Lu said with a fluttering eyebrow, and he looked very elated, but several people present were all elites, and he couldn't see the trace of loss and loneliness hidden under Political Commissar Lu's excited expression - Wen Xiuzhi, who was in his thirties, had already been promoted to general, and Political Commissar Lu was already in his fifties. is still a colonel, and it is estimated that he will not have a chance to be promoted to general in this life. If this political commissar Lu is not a little disappointed in his heart, it is estimated that it is impossible.

Fortunately, this political commissar Lu quickly adjusted his mentality, regained his cheerful expression, and he told Xu Yan about his relationship with Wen Xiuzhi - in Xu Yan's opinion, his interaction with Wen Xiuzhi was nothing more than the last time Wen Xiuzhi led the team. He was in charge of arranging logistics affairs, and he only had two meals and drank a few wines, but in the mouth of this political commissar Lu, this encounter was really a rare and profound friendship in the world! At the wine table, Wen Xiuzhi personally called him "elder brother", and he called Wen Xiuzhi "elder brother", which was simply a brother-like friendship!

Political Commissar Lu snorted wine and climbed Xu Yan's shoulder: "Director Xu, this time I came to Jincheng on a mission." You do a good job, work hard! After the matter is handled, I will call my brother and ask him to take good care of you! As long as I speak, my brother will definitely help! I have a friendship with Minister Wen, that is not said, this kind of thing, my brother will give me this face!

My brother is now a deputy minister. With him speaking for you, you have nothing to fear! Director Xu, you are so young. The future is immeasurable, and in the future, I will definitely be a general!"

When Political Commissar Lu spoke, Huang Xi was pursing his lips and smiling, while Tang Min looked at Xu Yan with slightly confused eyes. There was an indescribable taste of ridicule in his eyes - in fact, everyone here knows that the relationship between Wen Xiuzhi and Xu Yan is very good, how can anyone call Wen Xiuzhi, Xu Yan himself is Wen Xiuzhi's number one confidant.

The Minister of Culture may not give face to anyone, even if it is a superior leader. Director Wen may be able to give it back. But only for Xu Yan's face, he will never refuse-even if Director Wen is angry, but as long as Xu Yan's phone calls, he will immediately answer the phone with a smile on his face, and there will never be anything like anger - this kind of treatment, I am afraid that Minister Wen's father is nothing more than that.

Everyone is privately speculating that Director Wen is so good to Xu Yan and has such an unusual favor, could it be that he is actually the illegitimate son of Director Wen who is outcast? Uh, or else, Xu Yan is the illegitimate son of a big leader, and Director Towen took care of him?

Feeling everyone's strange gaze, Xu Yan remained silent: "This is really good, we want to thank Political Commissar Lu for his support, please help us with a lot of kind words on Minister Wen's side!

This meal lasted for more than two hours, and the banquet was very lively, everyone staggered their cups, talked and laughed, and laughed very happily. But afterwards, Xu Yan recalled that it seemed that there was nothing serious in this banquet, and in summary, it was nothing more than some friendship and close words.

In this banquet, Xu Yan, as the guest of honor, was naturally the focus of everyone's firepower, and the leaders of Jincheng took turns to toast him. Xu Yan has a special physique, but it doesn't matter, the glass is dry, but the subordinates can't stand it, Huang Xi stepped forward and volunteered to help Xu Yan block the wine, Tang Min is even more powerful, she picked up the wine glass, took the initiative to toast to the people in Jincheng, seven or eight glasses of red wine, she still didn't change her face, and smiled and wanted to have a "heads-up string" with Deputy Secretary-General Zhang and Deputy Director Cao, so frightened that Secretary-General Zhang repeatedly begged for mercy: "No, no, Director Xu, your strong general has no weak soldiers, I am willing to bow down!"

Xu Yan looked funny - in fact, drinking at the wine table is also a bully for the weak and afraid of the hard. At the beginning, seeing that there were few people on Xu Yan's side and two women, the officials in Jincheng naturally became arrogant and took the initiative to toast again and again. But as soon as Huang Xi and Tang Min exerted their strength, they found out that they were not easy to mess with, and they immediately exposed the essence of weak chickens.

After drinking until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was full of food and wine, and Mayor Deng proposed to disperse. Everyone exchanged their phone numbers and staggered out.

Xu Yan doesn't matter, he has a special physique, as long as he is lucky, all the alcohol will come out of his pores, and he will become refreshed and clear-headed.

Deng Bonan approached Xu Yan and greeted him, Xu Yan turned his head to look at him in surprise: "Mayor Deng?"

Deng Bonan also drank a lot of wine today, his tongue was a little big, but his voice was still clear, he said: "Director Xu, please wait a minute - I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xu Yan nodded, and he explained to his subordinates, asking everyone to wait for him in the car first. Then, Xu Yan returned to the villa and went up to the second floor with Deng Bonan, where there was a cubicle.

Entering the cubicle, Deng Bonan apologized to Xu Yan again for the misunderstanding of the criminal investigation detachment last night, Xu Yan smiled: "Mayor Deng is too polite, it's just a trivial matter, there is no need to mind so much - comrades are also for work, and Mayor Deng shouldn't blame them too much." ”

The two chatted for a while, all of which were inconsequential gossip, Deng Bonan raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's not early, let's stop here - Director Xu is really a lot, our old bones, it's really not good." Deng Bonan got up, but naturally stuffed the black leather bag he was holding into Xu Yan's hand.

Looking at the bulging leather bag, Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, he frowned and asked, "Mayor Deng, this ...... What does that mean?"

Deng Bonan said very calmly: "Director Xu, don't think too much about it -- last night, those little cubs broke into your house and smashed a lot of things in your house. ”

Xu Yan thought for a while -- The police officers of the Public Security Bureau smashed their own furniture, and now they want compensation, which seems to make sense in reason? He hesitated: "The loss ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for so much money, right?"

Deng Bonan said with a smile: "Director Xu, in addition to the compensation for the loss of furniture, there is also compensation for the loss of personal injury! I know, last night, our little cubs were not light, if they didn't have a concussion, they would be troublesome with internal bleeding -- Director Xu, you go to the hospital to take a film, and then buy some nutritional products to make up for your body, this is also a normal expense! The current medical expenses and nutrition expenses are not cheap!

Director Xu, you just have to rest assured that the injury will be completely cured! If the compensation is not enough, we can add it! Anyway, our Jincheng City Bureau will be responsible for the end!"

Xu Yan couldn't help but admire: It was obviously a private matter that benefited himself, but Deng Bonan had this ability, and people could just do it openly and honestly, even if the supervision department came to investigate, they couldn't say anything -- it was a matter of course to compensate for breaking things and hurting people. As for how much compensation should be for the loss, it is a completely confused account, and the compensation is not much if it is 10,000, and it is not much if it is 100,000. As for medical expenses and nutrition expenses, as long as you lie down in the hospital, it is a bottomless black hole, and no one can tell how much it should be!

All the processes are completely legal and reasonable, and this kind of method is much more clever than Huangshan -- this is the difference in level, no wonder Deng Bonan is the director of the bureau and Huangshan is only a detachment leader! )
