The head of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee is also a cadre at the vice provincial level. If a woman can climb to this position, it must not be a simple role.

After Cai Gen introduced Liang Jian, although Shen Qing had doubts, he immediately hid it, and then nodded at Liang Jian with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

can sit next to Cai Gen, even if he is an ordinary cadre, he must not be ordinary. Shen Qing can become the Minister of Propaganda, so he naturally knows this.

After Shen Qing sat down, the dinner officially began.

Cai Gen raised his glass and said, "Today I only talk about Fengyue, not about work." Whoever talks about work later, who will punish themselves with a drink, how about it? ”

Cai Gen smiled slightly and looked around.

Immediately, Chen Ting took over: "Okay! However, if you don't do it yourself, you'll have to pay two drinks! ”

"Okay!" Cai Gen smiled and responded cheerfully. Then, he lifted the cup slightly and said, "Come, have a drink first." ”

Liang Jian followed them and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then observed the expressions of these people. Jiang Shihuan is cautious, after all, he is the lowest level here, except for him, of course. Chen Ting and Zhang Yishan looked relaxed, from the beginning to the present. Liang Jian guessed that the relationship between the two of them and Cai Gen should be good. Shen Qing's words naturally don't need to be said. Between him and Cai Gen, if there is any ambiguity, anyone can see it.

The only one here who feels that his expression is not very natural and relaxed is Zhu Mingtang. On the surface, you can't see anything, laugh when you should laugh, and be silent when you should be silent. It's just that compared with Zhang Yishan next to him, there is a lack of relaxation that naturally emanates from the heart.

It seems that the relationship between this Zhu Mingtang and Cai Gen is probably not so harmonious.

However, this is just Liang Jian's speculation, and except for Zhu Mingtang and Cai Gen themselves, I'm afraid no one can know very well.

Next, sure enough, I only talked about Fengyue. These people, put outside, they are all characters with heads and faces, and even coughing requires many people to figure out the meaning, but sitting here, talking about Fengyuelai, they are also good hands.

Zhang Yishan is the most unscrupulous, and he can come to anything. Often, Zhang Yishan's language was indulgent, and when he was about to lose it, Shen Qing would suddenly pick up a sentence. Her voice is soft, her tone is gentle, the key is that her tone is witty, although it interrupted Zhang Yishan's words, but it also makes people not angry, but can also make people laugh.

This ability made Liang Jian look at her even more. The rest of the time, she either sat quietly or added wine to Cai Gen.

She is quiet, but she can show herself just right. Such a woman does have extraordinary charm.

And Liang Jian also found that every time Shen Qing spoke, Cai Gen would look at her. Liang Jian couldn't see it in his eyes, but he could see that the corners of Cai Gen's mouth were slightly upturned.

Soon, the two bottles of wine that had been prepared were almost drunk. Jiang Shihuan asked everyone's opinion on whether to open another bottle. Cai Gen looked at the time and said, "It's not too early, so why don't you do it today?" ”

Cai Gen opened his mouth, and everyone naturally had no opinion.

One by one, they all stood up, gathered up and prepared to go out. Suddenly, Cai Gen stopped him: "Liang Jian, you wait. After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "You go first, and I'll talk to him about something." ”

The rest of the people looked at each other and left.

Jiang Shihuan also went out, and Shen Qing and Liang Jian were left in the room, as well as Cai Gen.

He was still sitting next to him, typing on his phone. Cai Gen didn't look at her either, and he didn't say anything. Liang Jian sat down next to Cai Gen again and asked, "Mayor Cai, what do you command?" ”

Cai Gen smiled and said, "I don't have any instructions, I just want to ask you something." ”

"You say." Liang Jian said.

Cai Gen asked: "I heard that you are interested in the position of director of the research office?" ”

Liang Jian's heart moved slightly, and then replied calmly: "It's a little interested." ”

"Okay. As long as you're interested. Cai Gen said.

Liang Jian looked at him, wondering in his heart the meaning of his words.

Then, Cai Gen said, "Do you know why I called all these people together today to eat this meal? ”

When Liang Jian heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked. Listening to Cai Gen's words, and then linking this with what he asked Liang Jian, the director of the research office, the answer is obvious.

It seems that Cai Gen wants to pave the way for him to become the director of the research office.

After Liang Jian figured it out, he was about to answer, but Cai Gen preemptively said: "There are many people staring at this position. Beijing is different from other provinces, and some people even want to downgrade and drill here. So, if you want to get the position of director, you can't just help you find a way, you have to take action yourself. ”

Liang Jian frowned slightly, what Cai Gen meant, Liang Jian was clear. He asked him to 'run for office'. This behavior, in fact, is a common phenomenon today. Even at the level of the secretary of the provincial party committee, when the opportunity comes, this kind of thing will still be done. After all, pies never fall in front of you for no reason.

"See what I mean?" Cai Gen saw that Liang Jian didn't speak and asked.

Liang Jian nodded: "Understood." ”

Cai Gen said again: "Chen Ting, Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, you don't have to worry. Zhang Yishan, you still have to go for a walk. The most important thing is Zhu Mingtang, the head of the organization. As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Jian, and then continued: "Secretary Guo has valued him very much in the past two years, and Secretary Guo will generally consider his opinions." Therefore, if you want to sit smoothly in the position of director of the research office, it is best to let him support you. ”

After Liang Jian remembered Cai Gen's words, he suddenly remembered something that Jiang Shihuan had told him before. He said that Zhen Dongwen seemed to have a good relationship with Zhu Mingtang.

Moreover, Zhen Dongwen is also determined to win the position of director of this research office. If Liang Jian wants to win over Zhu Mingtang, he not only has to gain Zhu Mingtang's favor, but also has to win over Zhen Dongwen's weight in Zhu Mingtang's heart.

Liang Jian didn't tell Zhen Dongwen about it, he asked Cai Gen: "Then can you tell me what his preferences are for this Minister Zhu?" ”

Cai Gen glanced at him and said, "I don't know what I like, but Zhu Mingtang has a son named Zhu Jiaming, who is now in the army." It is said that Zhu Jiaming's superiors do not value him very much. ”

What Cai Gen meant, Liang Jian could understand. However, Liang Jian has never been in contact with the army. Liang Jian frowned, Cai Gen said this, probably because on the day Xiang Lao invited them to go fishing in the villa, he mentioned the Tang family at the dinner table. It seems that Cai Gen still has some understanding of the power of the Tang family.

Thinking of going to Lao Tang for help, Liang Jian was still a little reluctant in his heart. Two years to enter the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, is Lao Tang's request for him. But if he went back to Don for help, then the challenge would not be interesting.

Liang Jian lowered his head and hesitated.

Cai Ming looked at him, and after a while, he laughed silently, and then said: "Anyway, I should remind you, I have already reminded you, and it's up to you to do what you do." ”

Liang Jian nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Mayor Cai, for your support." ”

"Don't thank me. Xiang Lao helped me a lot in the past, and now I do this, which can be regarded as a return for the peach. Cai Gen smiled.

"Thank you anyway. Don't worry, I'll do my best. Liang Jian took over.

Cai Gen nodded, then stood up. As soon as he stood up, Liang Jian also stood up immediately, and on the other side, Shen Qing also put away his mobile phone and stood up.

Cai Gen asked Liang Jian, "How did you come here?" ”

Liang Jian replied respectfully: "I drove here." ”

Cai Gen said again: "I asked Xiao Jiang to prepare some things, and you can help take them back to Xiang Lao." He's waiting for you outside. ”

After Liang Jian thanked Cai Gen for Xiang Lao, he came out first. Liang Jian walked to the door and didn't see Jiang Shihuan, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call him. At first glance, there was a text message from Jiang Shiwan on his phone, he said that he was in the car, and asked him to come out and call him.

Liang Jian called him as he walked to the parking lot.

Jiang Shihuan got out of the car after receiving the call, and after taking something from the trunk, he came over to meet Liang Jian. Jiang Shihuan stuffed the bag in his hand into Liang Jian's hand and said, "Mayor Cai asked me to give it to you." ”

Liang Jian took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, waiting outside for so long." ”

Jiang Shihuan smiled and said, "What's not hard about this." As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "What about Mayor Cai, he didn't come out with you?" ”

Liang Jian nodded: "Yes." He and Minister Shen seem to have something to discuss. ”

Jiang Shihuan listened, his expression changed slightly, and then changed the topic. After chatting a few words, the two separated and drove home.

Liang Jian didn't see what was in the bag, and after returning home, he took it to Minister Xiang's study and put it, and then found Minister Xiang who was reading with Nishang in Nishang's bedroom, and said, "Dad, you come out for a while." ”

Minister Xiang walked out and asked Liang Jian, "What's the matter?" ”

Liang Jian replied: "Mayor Cai asked me to bring something over, saying that it was for you, and I put it in the study." ”

"What is it?" Minister Xiang asked.

Liang Jian shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't watch it." ”

"Okay, I see." After Minister Xiang finished speaking, he turned around and went in to read to Nishang. Liang Jian said a few words to Ni Shang, and then went to find Xiang Jin and Tang Li.

What Cai Gen sent seems to be a wood carving. It's not big, the size of two fists, but the details are exquisite, and the engraving on it is lifelike. Minister Xiang seemed to like it, and kept it on the table in the study, facing where he was sitting.

At breakfast the next day, Liang Jian thought of what Cai Gen told him last night, so he asked Minister Xiang: "Dad, do you know Zhu Mingtang?" ”

Minister Xiang thought for a moment and replied: "It seems that he is now the head of the Organization Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, right?" ”

Liang Jian nodded: "Yes." ”

"What's wrong?" Minister Xiang glanced at him and asked.

Liang Jian put down the porridge bowl and replied: "He has a son named Zhu Jiaming, who said that he is in the army, do you know about this?" ”

Minister Xiang glanced at him again and said, "I don't know." What do you want? ”

"Mayor Cai mentioned this to me yesterday, so I'll ask you." Liang Jian replied that he didn't tell the truth because he still didn't want Minister Xiang to worry about him.

Minister Xiang naturally knew the truth of what he said, but he didn't debunk it, and continued to bow his head and eat breakfast.
