In the office building, the new mayor Hua Zijian sat in his spacious office, he was not complacent or jubilant because he was promoted to mayor, in his current situation, there are more troubles than happiness, not entirely because Liulin City is bigger than Yanghe County, and there are more things, in Hua Zijian's heart, there is a stronger feeling of being excluded and bound.

In Liulin City, there are not many old friends in the old department, in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, almost all of them are the people of Xu Qiuxiang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the rest of the Standing Committee members who are not included by Xu Qiuxiang are also trembling in the face of themselves, they will not easily support themselves, let alone easily fight against Xu Qiuxiang, so, in name, Hua Zijian is the mayor, but in the distribution of rights, he did not get the rights he should have.

Hua Zijian frowned, looking at a few documents on the desktop, but his mind couldn't focus on this, he sat in this office that was Qiu Ziyun back then, and he often thought of Qiu Ziyun, thinking of the current political pattern of Bac Giang Province and Liulin City, thinking of these, Hua Zijian would be upset.

He closed the materials in his hand, leaned back in the carved chair, and silently lit a cigarette.

There was a knock outside the door, Hua Zijian didn't even bother to turn his eyes, and he didn't answer the knock, but the door was still pushed open, and the secretary walked in gently, he was busy with Hua Zijian filling the cup with water, and then said: "Mayor Hua, Director Jiang of the Liulin District Public Security Bureau is here, please see the mayor." ”

Hua Zijian didn't speak, just nodded, and didn't remove his head from the back of the chair.

The secretary turned around and went to the door, opened the door and went out, and soon, Director Jiang walked in under the leadership of the secretary, and when he saw Hua Zijian like this, Director Jiang said: "Leader, how do you look listless." ”

Hua Zijian glanced at Director Jiang and said, "I don't have energy when I see you." ”

"Oh, don't hang me, who made me not a beauty. ”

Hua Zijian sat up straight and said, "You want to be a beauty, it's a pity, it's a pity that you look so ugly, even if you're a woman, it's scary enough." ”

Director Jiang laughed and took the tea made by the secretary.

The secretary also smiled and left the office, the secretary also knew that this Director Jiang and Hua Zijian were old friends, when Hua Zijian was still Qiu Ziyun's secretary, their relationship was very good, at that time Hua Zijian and this Director Jiang were still at the same level, but I didn't expect that a few years later, the gap between the two was so big, think about this life, it's really unpredictable.

After the secretary left here, Hua Zijian asked: "You don't have a good day at work, what are you afraid of coming here for?"

"I'll give you a briefing on your ideological work. Director Jiang said with a hippie smile.

"Report to me on any ideological work, get out of the way, and report to your old party. ”

Director Jiang grinned and said, "Leader, this report is not successful, you are a little too bureaucratic, that's okay, I don't report my thoughts, I'll report something else to you." ”

"Report what?"

"How about a report on how much I've been drinking?"

Hua Zijian said angrily: "Every day is drinking and socializing, and you are not annoyed." ”

"Annoying, really annoying, but drinking with you is not a social, from you to now, for so long, I have never invited you, I know that you are busy, but always like this, it seems that we have no feelings at all, which is not good. ”

Hua Zijian picked up the cigarette on the table, threw one to Director Jiang on the sofa, and took out one himself, Director Jiang stood up and walked over to help him light it, and after both of them took a few puffs, Director Jiang said: "I just want to invite you today, give me a face." ”

Hua Zijian frowned, he is also very emotional, this Director Jiang used to get together with him before he gained power, and now that he is the mayor, he can't forget his past friends because his identity has changed, Hua Zijian said: "That's okay, there is no one else at night." ”

"No, I'm just asking you to sit alone. Director Jiang saw that Hua Zijian's tone was loose, so he hurriedly said.

Hua Zijian nodded: "Okay, it's okay tonight, there is no entertainment, but let's say it first, the wine should be moderate in the evening, I don't want to drink it recently." ”

"No problem, it's just to talk together, and it's not a scene, besides, with my amount of alcohol, I can't drink you, I'm bored." ”

"Hehe, it's rare for you to be so humble. ”

Director Jiang extinguished his cigarette, thought for a while, and said, "Leader, I heard that our bureau is going to move, isn't it?" ”

Hua Zijian smiled and said, "What's the matter, you want to find some news from me." ”

"No, no, just ask. Director Jiang let Hua Zijian say something to his heart, and said a little embarrassed.

Hua Zijian pondered for a moment and said: "I also understand your intentions, if you want to say that you should indeed move, but your public security bureau is now very complete, two deputy directors, a political commissar, a deputy political commissar, and a director, so there is no chance, the old party said in the past that it is possible to improve, but looking at the recent situation, I am afraid that the sea will not be able to move for a while and a half, so you are still waiting." ”

Director Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still young." ”

Hua Zijian also laughed and said, "Yes, being young is a treasure." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and said where to eat in the evening, and then Director Jiang said goodbye and left.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Hua Zijian looked at things in the office for a while, and then came to the Platinum Hotel with the secretary, Hua Zijian raised his wrist to look at the time, it had been 5 minutes past the agreed time with Director Jiang, this time was just right, for a position like Hua Zijian, it was a bit early to put it on other occasions, but today is a gathering of friends, so it is not good at night.

As soon as Hua Zijian and his secretary got out of the car, they saw Director Jiang and Jiang Zhuo, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Liulin City, rushing over, Hua Zijian was stunned in his heart, this Director Jiang is really, didn't he say that he would be alone? Why did he call Jiang Zhuo too, this Deputy Director Jiang, Hua Zijian has been full of contempt for him from the bottom of his heart since he learned that he took that kind of method against Ma Xiaoyan last time, that is, his ass has not yet sat firmly, and he does not have much control in Liulin City, and when he stabilizes the regime, he will be the first to clean up.

This Deputy Director Jiang is the same, he himself can't figure out why Hua Zijian's attitude towards him has changed, from Hua Zijian to the mayor, he also invited Hua Zijian several times, ready to sit together and contact the feelings, but Hua Zijian has always used excuses to push it away, and he didn't give him a chance at all.

He is like, or someone has become a big official, and the person has changed.

But today Director Jiang arrived at his office and said that Mayor Ren was going to come out to sit in the evening, there were too few people, and he wanted Deputy Director Jiang to be a companion, Jiang Zhuo naturally had nothing to say when he heard it, and immediately agreed, and when he didn't get off work, he called Director Jiang and waited early at the Platinum Hotel, which was a full hour.

Now he walked up quickly, a little faster than Director Jiang, and said from afar: "Welcome to the mayor, please, please." ”

Hua Zijian smiled a little, shook his hand briefly and said, "Jiang Ju has been doing well recently, so don't come to sit with me if you have nothing to do." ”

Director Jiang said with a flattering smile: "I'm afraid that I will often go over to disturb the leaders, so every time I walk to the door, I don't dare to go in after thinking about it." ”

"Hahaha, you just blow nonsense. Hua Zijian concealed the indifference in his heart, smiled and walked into the lobby together, but when Director Jiang came to greet him, Hua Zijian's face hung a little cold, and said, "You are well prepared." ”

Director Jiang knew that he was not very satisfied with his own initiative to call Jiang Zhuo, but now that Jiang Zhuo was by his side, Director Jiang was not easy to explain, so he smiled and didn't say much.

A few people walked down the circular staircase next to the spacious hall, slowly went up to the second floor, at this time, a large number of people came to the door of the hall, one in the center, it was Deputy Mayor Ge, and there were several directors around him, as well as one or two businessmen, they talked and laughed and walked over, but after walking a few steps, Vice Mayor Ge saw Hua Zijian who was on the circular staircase, saw Hua Zijian, and naturally saw Jiang Zhuo, Deputy Mayor Ge frowned, why did these two people mix together, it seems that it is not a general work entertainment, it seems to be a private date, could it be that this Jiang Zhuo still wants to step on two boats。

Deputy Mayor Ge was joking with the people around him, but he slowed down, pretending to point and comment on the decoration of the lobby, he didn't want Hua Zijian to see him, and he didn't go up the stairs until Hua Zijian and the three disappeared at the top of the stairs.

This chance encounter made Vice Mayor Ge a little unhappy in his heart, Deputy Director Jiang has always been his descendant, but with the advent of Hua Zijian, with the change of the pattern of Liulin City, it is difficult to say whether he will continue to follow him in the future, there are no permanent friends in the officialdom, and there is no long-term alliance, everything depends on the direction of the current situation.

But what Vice Mayor Ge didn't know was that this was by no means an accidental encounter, Xiao Bohan had already done a lot of meticulous work, Xiao Bohan knew through Leng Kemei that he was coming to the banquet at the Platinum Hotel today, which made Director Jiang also banquet Hua Zijian at the same time, and he also had to bring Deputy Director Jiang again.

Now the situation is even better than Xiao Bohan expected, but he didn't expect Vice Mayor Ge to see Hua Zijian and Jiang Zhuo together, which created a more favorable opportunity for Director Jiang, who had been paying close attention.

The private room between the two of them was not too far away, it was almost door-to-door, but Hua Zijian and Jiang Zhuo never knew it, they naturally sat in their own box, and after a while, all kinds of dishes came one after another, and a bottle of wine was opened.

Hua Zijian looked at the table full of dishes, and said to Director Jiang: "It's okay, it's okay, isn't it just the four of us, you can order so many dishes." ”

Director Jiang said: "It's rare to invite the mayor to come out today, and it's not good to serve a few dishes, so it's not okay." ”

Jiang Zhuo also said beside him: "That's it, that's it, the mayor is now in charge of everything, it's not easy to come out once, you have to eat and drink well." ”

Hua Zijian laughed twice, and then didn't say anything more, and the fourth brother drank it, Hua Zijian's identity is different now, and he doesn't need to be slammed into himself when he is with his subordinates, and others don't dare to pour him casually, he drinks a cup and drinks, and half a cup is also a drink, no one can hold him accountable, but you can't drink less, the mayor will take it up, you must drink it yourself, this is the rule.

So a bottle of wine is not very good, it has already been drunk, of course, it is mainly Director Jiang who drinks Jiang Zhuo and the two of them, and when he saw that the wine was finished, Director Jiang asked for another bottle.

Hua Zijian stopped and said, "It's almost there, don't open this bottle." ”

Director Jiang and Jiang Zhuo were both unwilling, both of them said that it was still very early, and they didn't even open the wine at all, Hua Zijian shook his head, and there was nothing to do, then open it, anyway, he was not afraid.
