Quaint courtyard with elegant environment. In a room in the backyard, a small banquet is going on, more like a party than a banquet. The convener of the party, He Jiaojiao, also provided this place by her, and the participants were Chu Tianqi, Chu Xiaoya, and Zhou Tong.

The banquet has been going on for a long time, everyone is talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Looking at everyone present, He Jiaojiao raised his glass to Chu Tianqi again: "Thank you for coming today, and thank you for your great help to the He family, it is with your unremitting efforts that the He Group has survived this catastrophe." Tomorrow is New Year's Day, I wish you a happy holiday!"

Chu Tianqi said: "As I said just now, you don't always want to thank you, but I want to thank you, thank you for your invitation, and thank you for your understanding." In this counterfeit drug case, I just did what I should have done, I was doing my duty, not only did I dare not accept your thanks, but I want to apologize and feel guilty for the delay in solving the case. ”

Chu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Giggles, Director Chu, why are you so sour today, and you still talk to the little junior sister?"

Zhou Tong also quipped: "Excellent, you are too polite, always say thank you." Today, you are sitting in the east for a treat, in fact, we should thank you. Isn't it too exciting to have dinner with your brother?"

"By the way, Excellent, do you usually speak so formally, it seems that each other is called 'senior brother' and 'senior sister', right?" Chu Xiaoya's face was full of gossip.

Zhou Tong continued to echo: "That is, how intimate is it to have dinner together during the National Day? Is it that we are present today, but it is restrained?"

Facing the teasing of the two, Chu Tianqi smiled and said nothing.

Although He Jiaojiao's face was crimson and very embarrassed, she still fought back: "I am not the only one who had dinner, but some people were photographed and taken to the county government meeting." Although my brother and I are alumni, we didn't meet each other during our time at school, and we didn't see each other very often. And some people not only studied with their junior brother and brother in the party school for more than three months, but now they get along day and night, and I heard that they often text messages to convey affection. ”

"Nonsense. Zhou Tong blushed abnormally and pinched He Jiaojiao's body lightly.

Chu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Excellent, why do I feel that your words are full of vinegar?"

"How can there be?" He Jiaojiao's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly touched the wine glass with Chu Tianqi and toasted the wine in the glass.

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe" and drank it all.

Looking at Chu Tianqi's proud appearance, the third girl realized that it was this kid who took advantage of the most, so she turned her eyes to the only man on the table.

"What are you doing, you want to eat me?" Chu Tianqi quipped.

The word "eat" he used inevitably made people reverie, and the third girl's face was even redder. Chu Tianqi also realized that there was a language problem in his words, so he also blushed. Seeing the kid's embarrassed look, the three girls suddenly "giggled" and laughed again, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.

You laugh, I laugh, Chu Tianqi also smirked. In an instant, the room was full of laughter, so cheerful. Fortunately, this place is quiet, and everyone is in the backyard, otherwise it will inevitably make people who hear it speculate, and maybe tomorrow there will be a different version of the scandal.

……

Just when Chu Tianqi and the others were celebrating New Year's Day and toasting together, a dinner party was also being held in another place. But this dinner was not a banquet, nor a party, but more like a final supper, and the atmosphere was very dull.

In this dinner, there are two protagonists, and there are only two of them, it is Qu Gang, executive deputy director of the Xuyuan County Public Security Bureau, and Zhang Tianbiao, deputy director, who was invited by Qu Gang.

The two have been in place for a long time, and the hot dishes are cold, during which Zhang Tianbiao did not say a word except for Qu Gang who said a few words. A person who usually likes to drink so much, Zhang Tianbiao didn't even serve a cup today, but just lashed at the box of cigarettes in front of him, one after another. Now the smoke is rising in the house, and Qu Gang, who is choking, coughs vigorously, and Zhang Tianbiao himself makes a "cough" sound from time to time.

"Tianbiao, I've wanted to sit with you for a long time, but I've been too busy with work in recent days, so I took such a free time today. As he spoke, Qu Gang picked up his wine glass, "We haven't drunk together for a few days." ”

Zhang Tianbiao didn't raise his glass or speak, but there was a sneer on his face, and it seemed that his nose was "humming".

The other party's reaction was as expected, Qu Gang was not unhappy because of this, but put down the wine glass and continued: "A lot has happened in this year, and some things are indeed unexpected in advance. At this time last year, we were still planning the affairs of the governor, and not only were you actively fighting for it, but you were also running forward and backward and making suggestions. It was very tiring at that time, but we enjoyed it because we were all good brothers, so to speak, we couldn't distinguish each other. But in a short period of time, the dream of the director was shattered, and after a year, even the brothers were estranged. Not only do they usually disagree, but they don't even have face for a glass of wine. ”

Zhang Tianbiao still didn't speak, but he "sneered", the expression on his face was very rich, and he shook his head cynically.

"Tianbiao, is it true that there is no friendship for a glass of wine?" Qu Gang stared at the other party and raised his glass again.

Zhang Tianbiao continued to bow his head and remain silent, of course, he didn't pick up the wine glass, but secretly swept the other party with the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Qu Gang kept raising his glass and looking at the other party.

One minute

Two minutes

After five or six minutes, Zhang Tianbiao finally reacted.

I saw Zhang Tianbiao suddenly raise his head, with a smile on his face, he raised his wine glass with both hands and bumped into each other.

Qu Gang's heart was relieved, his tense expression slowly relaxed, and he was about to continue talking, but then he wrinkled again.

Zhang Tianbiao didn't wait for the other party to speak at all, but preemptively said: "Thank you Director Qu for being able to condescend to your dignity and give me a glass of wine for this man who fell into the well." Zhang Tianbiao is grateful, he can't express it, and he will remember it forever. After speaking, he reached forward and touched the other party, then quickly withdrew it and drank it all.

What is this called, it's better not to say it, isn't this burying people? Qu Gang didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it, but he still drank it. After drinking, pour a full tank for both sides.

"Tianbiao, you can't have this attitude, they are all good brothers, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. Qu Gang said patiently.

"Don't dare, Director Qu can invite me, a lowly person, how dare I make a mistake? Besides, Director Qu is the embodiment of justice, I'm just a despicable petty person, what qualifications do I have to make irresponsible remarks, I have to be self-aware. As he spoke, Zhang Tianbiao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it alone.

Qu Gang sighed: "Tianbiao, you have changed, your straight * intestinal personality is gone, but you are a lot more bitter and mean." ”

"Is it? Everything will change, and only by seeking change can we develop! Which famous person said this? I can't remember it now, and I still don't have enough background. Zhang Tianbiao seems to be talking to himself, but he is actually ridiculing the other party.

"Tianbiao, the two of us have come to this point, which is indeed beyond my expectations, but some things are unforeseeable, you have to learn to adapt. Of course, a slap doesn't make a sound, and I haven't done enough, and I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as an old brother. Qu Gang's tone was very sincere.

"I killed the villain, I don't dare, I don't dare, the mistakes are all mine. It's that I don't know what to do, it's that I can't put myself in the right position, and it's because I can't recognize the situation. Zhang Tianbiao's expression was exaggerated, "I want to apologize to Director Qu, please forgive me for being ignorant, and please continue to forgive." I know that I am not worthy of being a bureau leader, and even if I am a policeman, I may not be qualified, but please be merciful and let me be a little policeman, so that I can earn a living money. ”

"You...... Can you talk well? Qu Ganggang slapped the table.

Zhang Tianbiao pretended to be scared: "Qu is angry, Qu is angry, it seems that my request has embarrassed you......"

"Damn, it's endless. Qu Gang slapped the table again and interrupted the other party, "I'll tell you, give Lao Tzu this set for the fuck." What do you want to do? You want to chill me? You are still tender, when Lao Tzu is working, you still wear open crotch pants. ”

"Yes, yes, the lesson is right, based on my qualifications, I don't deserve to say that to you at all. Zhang Tianbiao said in a tone that he was angry and didn't pay for his life, "Qu Ju, I was wrong, you don't remember the villain, spare my dog's life." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed.

"You ......" After pointing at the other party and scolding, Qu Gang sighed, "Tianbiao, are our brothers like this? Why can't you say it calmly, why do you have to be prickly?"

"Quju education is right, the New Year is coming, I should wish the director a high step by step, and a happy New Year's Day!" Zhang Tianbiao also raised his glass.

It seems that this kid can't speak well, Qu Gang sighed, and also raised his wine glass.

……

The dinner party for Chu Tianqi and the other four continued, and the topic had changed to the fake drug case.

Chu Xiaoya smiled: "Director Chu, you are really powerful, when you went to the hospital to see people, you found the person who collected the old medicine box, and then followed the vine to touch the melon and did such a big thing." Not only did they catch so many counterfeiters, but even the hospital director and head nurse were dragged down, and many people were also dismissed. ”

"You, the county leader, also spread rumors?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

Chu Xiaoya snorted: "Don't be sloppy, people say that you saw the head nurse selling things." People also said that if it weren't for you, the head nurse would probably have earned tens of thousands of dollars a year just by selling those boxes and bottles. Didn't the county leaders praise you for discovering important clues?"

Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh: I thought it was quite secretive, but now it has become an open secret.

"Hey, it's better to be an official. He Jiaojiao sighed on the side, "As soon as the case was solved, it was immediately praised by leaders at all levels and supported by subordinates, and it became a banner of the political and legal system, and this flagpole is high enough." ”

Chu Xiaoya took over: "Excellent, you should be satisfied, if it weren't for your senior brother who solved the case, your company would still be carrying a black cauldron." ”

"I should be glad that I am very grateful to everyone for their help and to return the innocence of Ho's Pharmaceutical. Speaking of which, He Jiaojiao changed the topic, "The company is now unloading the black cauldron, but it has lost hundreds of millions of yuan for this, which is only a direct loss, the indirect loss is immeasurable, and the social reputation is seriously damaged." When the company is suspicious, all departments have come to the door to find fault, and now I know that it is wronged, these departments have long since disappeared, and there is no explanation at all, even if there is an announcement. ”

He Jiaojiao's words, although they are inevitably biased, are indeed true. A considerable number of enterprises are indeed weak in many things under the pressure of the government, society and other parties, but they are often forcibly given a strong coat. The three of them felt the same way, and it was difficult to answer for a while.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, He Jiaojiao smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Don't say it, I was originally thanking you for your help, why am I complaining about my suffering? Everyone raise their glasses, Happy New Year's Day!"

"Happy New Year!" the four wine glasses clinked together.

The liquor swayed slightly, creating several pairs of eyes, all of which shone with a menacing light. Chu Tianqi shook slightly, and hurriedly shook the wine glass deliberately. There is no eye in the glass?
