After the banquet began, Gao Guosong took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said, "Li Rui, this first glass of wine, I want to salute you!" Li Rui was startled, hurriedly stood up, and said: "Political Commissar Gao......" Gao Guosong waved his hand and said: "Sit down, there is no Political Commissar Gao here today, only Uncle Gao." Li Rui could only sit down obediently. Gao Guosong said with a leisurely expression: "After you listen to me, why should I respect you? There are two reasons, first, I want to represent our old Gao family, thank you for saving the life of this girl Zixuan." This is a great life-saving grace, the greatest kindness in the world, it's not okay to be disrespectful;Second, I heard that after you saved Zixuan, my eldest brother's family has not said anything so far, alas, I don't know what they think in their hearts, anyway, they are not right. So I apologized for their faux pas. Come on, let's do it quickly, I don't like my mother-in-law's fathers, haha. ”

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "Even if you say my mother-in-law, I have to say a word, you are too polite, I and Zixuan are friends, in that kind of juncture, can I see death or not save it......" Gao Guosong waved his hand and said: "Hey, that's not what you say, what you want to save and whether you can make a move to save people are completely different things." At that time, you were already great if you ran without turning your head, and you could save people, tsk, that's the real hero. Come on, do it. Li Rui couldn't be more polite, no matter how polite he was, he looked hypocritical, touched a glass with him, and drank it all.

Gao Guosong put down the wine glass, Li Rui got up to get the wine bottle and pour him wine, but he stopped him and heard him say: "Pouring wine is a woman's business, let's just eat and drink." After speaking, the big horn looked at Gao Zixuan and said, "Girl, come and pour wine." Gao Zixuan was not reluctant, came over with a wine bottle with a smile, and poured wine for the two of them.

Gao Guosong said to Lu Qingman again: "Qingman, you have found a good husband." Lu Qingman blushed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle Gao, I will toast you." Gao Guosong agreed with a smile, touched the cup with her, and drank it dry in one gulp. Lu Qingman only drank half a glass and put the wine glass on the table.

Gao Zixuan glanced at Li Rui, got up again and poured wine.

Li Rui was stared at by her inexplicably, and said in his heart that I didn't ask you to pour wine, why are you staring at me?

After a few glasses of wine, the brain is gradually anesthetized, and the human spirit is in an unguarded semi-excited state, and he begins to talk a lot, and many things that he can't usually say can be spit out at this time.

Gao Guosong asked Li Rui: "How is Song Chaoyang mixed up in the Standing Committee?"

The word "mixed" generally means derogatory, and even if it can be understood neutrally, it can't hide that obscure and ugly feeling at all. However, it is still understandable that this word came out of the mouth of Gao Guosong, a soldier. Soldiers, most of them are vulgar, and they can't control the soldiers if they are too polite and polite.

If Li Rui heard others use the word "mixed" to describe the boss Song Chaoyang, he would definitely argue and reason with the other party, but since it was Gao Guosong, a soldier, said it, then forget it, what is the truth compared with the soldiers? I haven't heard of it, Xiucai met a soldier, is it reasonable to say? After thinking about it, he said, "I can only say that it's okay." ”

Gao Guosong frowned when he heard this, and said, "Oh, who else dares not to listen to him?" Li Rui said: "On some important issues, there are still people who oppose it. For example, when appointing and promoting cadres, every leader has selfish motives and wants to promote his cronies, and it is understandable that they quarrel over this at the meeting. However, when it comes to major issues of people's livelihood, there are even people who oppose it. For example, Secretary Song wants to carry out a city-wide poverty alleviation campaign, and wants to take off the poor hat on the heads of several poor counties in one fell swoop, and the government Mayor Sun is the first to jump out to oppose it, which is really incomprehensible. Gao Guosong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly, looking like a cunning old fox, and nodded: "That's good, so that someone will say that our Qingyang Standing Committee team is engaged in a word." ”

Li Rui laughed at what he heard, but what he said was also reasonable to a certain extent, and when outsiders look at the Qingyang Standing Committee team, on the premise of not being familiar with the character and character of each Standing Committee member and their mutual grievances, can they only judge whether the team is democratic or centralized through this kind of external performance? However, from the perspective of his own identity as Song Chaoyang's secretary, of course, he hopes that the boss can control the overall situation, and even if he does not engage in a word, at least he must grasp most of the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

This kind of thing, like most other things, different people will have different opinions and understandings when they look at it from different angles. It's just that Gao Guosong, as the new member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, said this kind of thing to Li Rui, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Chaoyang, and the intention is a bit intriguing.

"I guess it's a joke. Li Rui thought secretly.

Gao Zixuan interjected and asked, "Uncle, how is your relationship with Song Chaoyang?" Gao Guosong picked up an old vinegar peanut and put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it halfway, and then said: "I can only say that I know each other, and I don't have any friendship." Gao Zixuan said: "This time I worked together in a team, wouldn't there be friendship?" Gao Guosong smiled reluctantly and said: "I, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, is just an ornament, how can I say that I am working together?" Gao Zixuan said: "Then there is also your number, isn't it?" Look at Li Rui's face, help Song Chaoyang more in the future?"

The more he heard this, the more Li Rui's heart sank.

Gao Guosong was noncommittal, clinked glasses with Li Rui and took a big sip, and asked casually: "I heard that the local officialdom is also full of mountains, just like in the army?" Li Rui heard him ask, naturally he wanted to understand the factions in the Qingyang leadership team, so he simply told him what he said, and said: "Mayor Sun Yaozu and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Yu Heping, these two are their own factions and contradict each other. Sun Yaozu occasionally allied with Secretary Song, and occasionally opposed Secretary Song. Yu Heping has been fighting Sun Yaozu most of the time, but when it comes to his personal interests, he will also argue with Secretary Song. The two of them are scheming and cunning, and they are not easy characters to deal with. Gao Guosong nodded. Li Rui said: "As for the composition of the two of them, when the Standing Committee meets next time, you will be able to see it." ”

Gao Guosong raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that the new city public security director will be sent from the province?" Li Rui said: "Yes." Gao Guosong said: "Now Song Chaoyang has strong reinforcements." Li Rui could hear what he meant by this that the new city public security bureau chief and Song Chaoyang were both from the provincial capital and airborne troops, and the two would definitely unite in the field to fight against the local forces, and said with a smile: "I hope so." ”

Gao Guosong drank a few glasses of wine, talked with several people for a while, and then left on the grounds that there was something wrong. From beginning to end, he did not mention that he sent troops to help his niece Gao Zixuan take revenge on Xuan Zhibao during the day, nor did he promise that she would help Song Chaoyang on the Standing Committee.

Li Rui keenly discovered this, and secretly thought, the old Gao family really does not have a good relationship, except for Gao Dongdong's frivolous and arrogant, similar to Gao Guotai, Gao Guosong, and even Gao Zixuan in front of him, which of the Gao family is not a deep and sophisticated person? Although Gao Guosong seems to be very arrogant and a little vulgar on the surface, he is actually careful, and thinking of his indifference to Song Chaoyang in and out of his words, he is secretly worried.

After her uncle left, Gao Zixuan said to Li Rui: "Yao, I have already introduced my uncle to you, and the rest is up to you." ”

Li Rui nodded, secretly feeling that this Gao Guosong was a little slippery, didn't see that he only got information from himself just now but did not reveal any useful information? I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him to support the boss Song Chaoyang, but there is no need to worry about it, although he did not clearly state that he would stand on the boss's side in the future, but he also did not say that he would stand on Sun Yaozu or Yu Heping's side, as a military representative and a foreigner, the smartest thing for him is not to help each other. Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and this obviously will not cause any loss to the boss. In the absence of benefits, no loss is already considered a gain.

Lu Qingman was puzzled when he heard this, looked at Gao Zixuan, then at Li Rui, and asked, "Girl, what do you mean? You invited Uncle Gao over today, did you specially introduce him to Li Rui?" Gao Zixuan said: "Ask your husband to go." Your husband wants to add a strong helper to his boss on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, so let me introduce my uncle to him, and he will introduce him to his boss Song Chaoyang. ”

Lu Qingman came to his senses and asked Li Rui: "You are so anxious to find a helper for Secretary Song, is Secretary Song very sad on the Standing Committee?" Li Rui said: "Theoretically, in the past six months, Secretary Song has gained a firm foothold and won the support of many people. However, as I just said, Mayor Sun on the government side opposes his opinions from time to time, and Yu Heping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, makes trouble from time to time. ”

Before Lu Qingman could express his opinion, Gao Zixuan said in surprise: "Ouch, I am so panicked that you have made you speak, how can you make you speak more gloomily than the harem? Is the infighting so fierce? Song Chaoyang is not the secretary of the municipal party committee, the secretary of the municipal party committee is not the biggest, do others dare not listen to him?" Li Rui smiled bitterly: "The standing committee of the municipal party committee is like a class, the secretary of the municipal party committee is the squad leader inside, do you think that if the squad leader speaks, every student will be obedient?" Gao Zixuan said: " Of course not, sometimes students don't even dare to listen to the teacher, let alone the class leader. Li Rui said: "That's not it." Gao Zixuan said: "If you want me to say, the squad leader is not ruthless enough, if he is ruthless enough, who would dare to be disobedient?"
