Whether it is the workplace or officialdom, when people are transferred or promoted, they will invite their former colleagues to dinner to express their celebration or parting intentions, so the arrangement made by Ji Gang to invite guests to dinner is also reasonable, Li Rui hurriedly said after hearing this: " Ouch, Ji Chu, you said it too politely, the word face appreciation must not be used between us, hehe, I originally wanted to call on my colleagues in the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, everyone to celebrate your promotion, invite you to dinner, I thought that you have already made arrangements first, since this is the case, then you are welcome, then wait for your call, I must rush over. ”

Li Rui's words -- or improvisation, except for the last sentence, the front ones are the so-called "see people and talk about people, and talk about ghosts and ghosts", he didn't like this Ji Gang from the moment he entered the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, not to mention that Ji Gang has been chasing Ouyang Xin very tightly recently, and he has a bit of a taste in his heart, so he doesn't like it even more, so how can he invite him to dinner? However, you can not like it in your heart, and you must show that you like it in your face, which is also one of the survival rules of officialdom, which belongs to the category of thick black. Li Rui knows this very well, so he has done a very beautiful job on face.

Ji Gang was very happy when he heard it, and said: "Okay, then it's decided, you wait for my call in a few days, I haven't decided on the hotel yet, it's almost Shengjing Hotel, wait for me to inform you, I'll go back now, goodbye!"

After he left, Li Rui breathed out of his nostrils, snorted secretly, and said in his heart that this person and Zheng Meili are both Yu Heping's cronies, and they are really virtuous, and they can't hold two taels of sesame oil in the dog's stomach, this has just been promoted to the first secretary of the city government, and he is going to set up a banquet in a five-star hotel. Of course, the reason why he chose to set up a banquet in Shengjing may have another meaning, that is, to praise the general manager of the hotel, Ouyang Xin, perhaps, at the banquet that day, he also had to show off his friendship with Ouyang Xin, the beautiful general manager, in front of himself and others, in order to show his connections and charm.

At noon, Yu Heping, a candidate for mayor of Qingyang, who is actually the new (acting) mayor of Qingyang, hosted a banquet for the leading cadres of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at the Qingyang Hotel, and invited most of the members of the Standing Committee of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee to accompany him. There is only one leader of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee who came to Qingyang to attend the city's leading cadres conference, and he is a deputy minister in charge of the cadre department. These two people, one is a leader at the deputy department level, and the other is a cadre at the department level, and they are not as good as Yu Heping, who is about to be promoted to the department level, but why does Yu Heping still hold a banquet to entertain them?

There can be many explanations for this, for example, Yu Heping is the master, the other party is the guest, and the host naturally wants to entertain the guests; for example, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is the head and superior organ of Yu Heping, the provincial management cadres, so of course Yu Heping should treat the other party well...... There are many other explanations, but they can be explained in two simple words: conventions.

It is already a rule that when a higher-level organization department comes to a certain place and announces the appointment of a local leader, the appointed leader or the local government will usually set up a banquet to entertain each other.

Of course, the regulations must be followed, especially the official regulations, which cannot be easily changed.

At this banquet, Yu Heping also invited Song Chaoyang, but he was afraid that he would not arrive, so he specially sent his secretary Ji Gang to remind him. And Song Chaoyang has no reason not to go, even if he doesn't like this Yu Heping very much, he still has to do enough work to save face, especially in front of the leading cadres from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and he must show a united and harmonious team state.

Now that the old mayor Sun Yaozu is gone, there are only two bigwigs left in the leadership team of Qingyang City, Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping, both bigwigs attended the banquet, and of course their respective subordinate cronies will also show up. As a result, all members of the Standing Committee, except for Gao Guosong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and political commissar of the Municipal Military Division, attended the meeting.

The banquet was arranged in the VIP hall of the restaurant of Qingyang Hotel, and in the private room outside the VIP hall, two tables of banquets were also arranged, one table was for the cadres and staff of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee who accompanied them, and the other table was the lunch table of the local cadres in Qingyang who had more or less relations with the banquet, and Li Rui was at this table.

During the meal, Li Rui's left eyelid kept jumping, as if the muscles in the corners of his eyes were cramping, and he kept "popping" and jumping, so that his left eye was about to become a camera. As the old saying goes, "The left eye jumps blessed, and the right eye jumps disaster", but Li Rui couldn't figure out what blessings he could have recently? Is it Qingman's pregnancy, but she has been pregnant for a few days, and her left eye should have jumped a long time ago, and she shouldn't have jumped up suddenly at this time? The things related to the current situation, it seems that only Yu Heping is about to take charge of the city government, but he will not bring him any blessings when he is in charge of the city government?

While thinking wildly, he ate at the same time, occasionally chatting and laughing with the people at the table, and the meal was bland and tasteless.

When he finished eating, the banquet in the VIP hall was not over, but he didn't have to wait for the boss Song Chaoyang to come out. Song Chaoyang had already greeted him before going to the banquet, saying that the meal might last a little longer, maybe he would have to drink some wine, and after eating, he planned to go back to the room to rest for a while, so that he didn't have to wait for the banquet to end.

With this greeting, Li Rui had two choices after eating, first, go back to the municipal party committee directly, whether to take a lunch break or work at will; second, find a room in the VIP building, and wait for the boss to go to work in the afternoon while resting. But it quickly occurred to him that he had one more thing to do before that.

What's the matter? The one that Guan Leopard asked him for help in the morning!

"Alas, I'm really good at talking, he called the leopard and designed to frame me last night, but today I want to help him intercede, isn't this the legendary revenge with virtue?

After Li Rui came out of the restaurant, he walked to the VIP building, thinking of this on the way, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He also knew in his heart that the right thing to do about this matter was to neither help Guan Leopard intercede, nor fall into the well, and watch him end up in a bleak end, after all, this is his own suffering, in response to the ancient admonition of "self-inflicted, do not live", but I don't know why, I can't even bother to watch him sit on wax, is his measure has been immeasurable to the point of immeasurability, or ...... Do you want to take the opportunity to meet that beautiful mayor again?

Thinking of Wu Nan, Li Rui felt that there must be a psychological problem, and it could even be said that he was distorted, there were so many young and beautiful confidantes around him, such as Bai Bing, and Zhuang Haixia, but he had never thought about them, but why couldn't he help but have a good impression of Wu Nan when facing such a beautiful woman like Wu Nan? But I'm not very old, I'm only thirty years old, even if I like young women at this age, I should like the same age or about the same, how can I like forty-year-old Wu Nan? Just because she is the mayor, I am obsessed with both her appearance and the power that surrounds her?

He was puzzled, and he was bored in his heart, and he had already walked into the VIP building.

"Li Chu, you are really here, you are really a believer, haha, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come with me, come up quickly, my boss has already returned to the room, and he should not be resting yet......"

As soon as Li Rui entered the door, he rushed out of Guan Leopard in the oblique thorn, grabbed his arm without saying anything, and dragged him to the stairs, saying words of praise and gratitude in his mouth.

Li Rui made a fuss, pushed his hand away, and said, "Manage, don't drag me, I'll go by myself." Guan Leopard said curtly: "Li Chu, you are really a good person, I thank you so much, I thank you so much, I have made up your friend." As long as you can persuade my boss to forgive me, you will be my iron buddy in the future...... If you go to Dongzhou in the future, I will definitely be hospitable......" Li Rui ignored his words, this person is not very good-hearted, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a despicable and shameless villain, and the words that come from the mouth of a villain, you must not believe it, otherwise you can only harm yourself, and said: "Don't expect too much, I can only try to help you intercede, but I can't guarantee that Mayor Wu will forgive you......"

The two whispered, hurriedly went up to the second floor, and turned around and walked to Wu Nan's room.

After walking to the door, Guan Leopard lowered his voice and said, "I won't go in, you can knock on the door yourself, you must help me convince her, I beg you......"

Li Rui smiled bitterly and nodded, and said in his heart, why did you know what to do today?

After Guan Leopard finished explaining, he turned around and went back to his room, and Li Rui was the only one left in the empty corridor.

Li Rui raised his right hand and put it in front of the door, took a deep breath before knocking on the door, and then calmed down.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock!"

After two short and three long knocks on the door, a natural and warm smile appeared on Li Rui's face, and he planned to give Wu Nan a smile before anything else, which could be regarded as adjusting her mood.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the door opened, and a handsome and elegant pretty face appeared inside, it was Wu Nan.

Speaking of which, Wu Nan looks very distinctive and is very recognizable, and this comes from her single-eyelid Danfeng eyes. When it comes to Danfeng eyes, many people mistakenly think that Danfeng eyes are very small, although the eyes are very noble, and they seem to flow with the blood of the ancient phoenix, but because of their small eyes, they look stingy, cold, and ugly. In fact, there are many kinds of Danfeng eyes, in fact, Danfeng eyes can also be very large, as long as the eye shape is narrow and long, the corners of the eyes are obliquely raised, the so-called "inner hook and outer warped", you can buy Danfeng eyes.
