The reception banquet of the county Standing Committee is set up in the "Oriental Hall" of the Ganglong Hotel.

When Guo Xiaozhou followed Ou Chaoyang into this palatial hall, he saw four familiar faces, executive deputy county magistrate Xin Fu, deputy county magistrate Chai Hua, deputy county party secretary Bai Yongmin, and county party secretary Chen Baijun.

The remaining six unfamiliar faces are Yang Xuegong, Minister of Organization, Xu Ming, Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Zijian, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Lin Qiaoju, Minister of Propaganda, Lu Guoqiang, Minister of United Front Work, and Sun Li, Minister of the County People's Armed Forces Department.

Ou Chaoyang enthusiastically introduced Guo Xiaozhou one by one. Guo Xiaozhou shook hands with them one by one!

Among these Standing Committee members, Propaganda Minister Lin Qiaoju is the only woman, belonging to a touch of red in the green bushes, forty years old, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, black straight-leg pants, hair combed back, slightly thin face, when she shook hands with Guo Xiaozhou and said hello, her eyes showed a sharp light.

Ou Chaoyang sat on the main seat without concessions, and Guo Xiaozhou and Bai Yongmin sat on his left and right. The rest of the Standing Committee sat down at will.

As soon as he sat down, a man about forty years old hurriedly walked in, and when he entered the door, he bent down and hugged his fists and smiled: "Secretary Ou, leaders, I have lost my welcome, I apologize, today's meal is my ......"

Ou Chaoyang smiled and quipped: "Chairman Li, you look down on our county party committee too much, can't you even afford a banquet?" ”

Xin Fu pointed his finger at Li Jinlong and said: "Li Da Tuhao, you want to be beautiful, and you want to invite all the Standing Committee members for one meal?" If you really have that heart, next time you will take turns to please. ”

Most of the Standing Committee members present were very familiar with this Li Jinlong, and they all opened their mouths to ridicule.

Guo Xiaozhou observed that the only people who did not talk to Li Jinlong were Xu Ming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lu Guoqiang, director of the United Front Work Department, and Sun Li, director of the county People's Armed Forces Department.

If Li Jinlong is a representative figure in the mainstream circle of Lu'an County, then it proves that there is no "communication" between him and Li Jinlong, which also means that these three Standing Committee members are marginal figures in Lu'an's political business circle.

Speaking of which, the work that these three Standing Committee members are in charge of is indeed very marginal. It is normal for businessmen like Li Jinlong not to burn incense.

But there is a certain inspiration for Guo Xiaozhou, in view of Ou Chaoyang's strong position in the Standing Committee, he wants to win with Ou Chaoyang in the Standing Committee, and he must get seven votes. This is obviously difficult to achieve, and there is not even the slightest possibility. Ou Chaoyang has been operating in Lu'an for several years, and his roots are rooted in the soil, with thick trunks and vigorous branches.

However, Guo Xiaozhou secretly calculated in his heart that the most likely person to fall to him at present is the deputy county magistrate Chai Hua, and the deputy secretary Bai Yongmin can be won over, and these two people are excluded and suppressed figures in the county party committee and county government.

Liu Zijian, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Lin Qiaoju, minister of propaganda, are the peripheral forces surrounding Ou Chaoyang, although they are not Ou Chaoyang's henchmen like Xinfu Chen Baijun, but they also belong to the side that stands in line, and if he is not able to give the other party enough temptation benefits, the other party is unlikely to rebel.

Then, if he can win over these three marginal Standing Committee members who have been excluded by the "mainstream circle of politics and business", plus Bai Yongmin and Chai Hua, who may stand by his side, he has six votes in the Standing Committee, at least not losing to Ou Chaoyang.

Of course, his wishes are good, but in practice, it is not easy.

It seems that they have forgotten to introduce Guo Xiaozhou to Li Jinlong.

Until Li Jinlong looked at Guo Xiaozhou, and said with a slight respect: "This is today's distinguished guest, the new county magistrate Guo of our county." ”

Ou Chaoyang seemed to have just remembered, and said with a light smile: "I forgot to introduce, this is Comrade Guo Xiaozhou, the county magistrate of Lu'an County, this is our local tyrant in Lu'an, the owner of Ganglong Hotel, Xiaozhou County Magistrate, your room is provided by Li Dong." ”

Li Jinlong stretched out his hands enthusiastically, "It's an honor for this hotel to welcome such a distinguished guest as County Magistrate Guo, and I will ask County Magistrate Guo to take care of it in the future." ”

Facing the enthusiasm of Li Jinlong's businessman, Guo Xiaozhou sat down calmly and shook hands with him, nodded and smiled, "It should be that I thank Boss Li for mentioning the residence, otherwise I, the county magistrate, would have to live on the streets!" ”

Several members of the Standing Committee laughed when they heard this.

Li Jinlong saw that Guo Xiaozhou was so supportive, he actually sat and shook hands with him, a touch of embarrassment and depression flashed in his eyes, and Guo Xiaozhou's tentacles were loose, and he turned his head sideways to Ou Chaoyang and said: "Secretary Ou, you know how much I drink, all the people sitting here are nobles, my wine strength can't toast one by one, please allow me to toast two glasses of wine on behalf of the hotel." A cup of respect for Secretary Ou, a cup of respect for the members of the Standing Committee. ”

Xin Fu's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he thought to himself, Li Jinlong's counterattack is coming, if you kid knew Li Jinlong's background, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so big.

Guo Xiaozhou smiled indifferently, it is not his character to be so big. But he must show his attitude and let Bai Yongmin, Chai Hua, Xu Ming and others know that he will not go with the flow, let alone fall into a certain circle.

In addition, he has always stayed away from businessmen like Li Jinlong, who are too close to political figures.

Businessmen are in business, and having a relationship with political figures is also a characteristic of China, but the scope of contact is so wide, it is excessive, once a certain chain and a person have a problem, it is possible to form a nest case.

Speaking of toasts. All the Standing Committee members were silent. On this sensitive occasion and time, saying that he would not drink alcohol would undoubtedly have the risk of offending Guo Xiaozhou, and that drinking alcohol not only violated Ou Chaoyang's "will" but also violated the "prohibition of alcohol".

But Lin Qiaoju, the Minister of Propaganda, said loudly: "Boss Li is going to be disappointed, the third of the "four prohibitions" for civil servants just promulgated in our province is to strictly prohibit eating and drinking alcohol on weekdays. ”

Chen Baijun immediately patted his head and said to Guo Xiaozhou apologetically: "County Magistrate Guo, it's all because I didn't arrange it well, and I didn't consider the time at noon......

Knowing that Chen Baijun was taking the blame for Ou Chaoyang, Guo Xiaozhou could only suffer this loss, "It's okay!" As members of the Standing Committee, we should take the lead in implementing the regulations. If you want to drink, let's change to a convenient day, I invite you. ”

Li Jinlong consciously replied to Guo Xiaozhou, and his anger was smooth, and after a few polite words with the leaders present, he said goodbye and left.

The next meal was eaten unfazed.

Until the end of lunch, Ou Chaoyang suddenly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I take this opportunity to say something. As you all know, K. Wah Investment intends to invest in projects in our county. A few days ago, Comrade Xin Fu and Comrade Wan Hong and I went to the provincial capital, and the leaders of the provincial party committee attached great importance to this investment project. ”

"To be honest, I still have the confidence in my heart, a huge investment of 50 billion! This piece of fat can make people crazy anywhere, and it has taken a lot of effort to talk about this project approaching the ground, and it is not easy. Therefore, I ask that no matter what department or institution, as long as it affects the process of the investment project, the leader's hat under the leader's problem, and the leader's responsibility for the subordinate's problems. ”

When Ou Chaoyang said this, he looked at Guo Xiaozhou and said, "The Jiahua Investment delegation decided to come to our county and Fuding Park next Monday for inspection, which is the last key inspection. I have already communicated with the magistrates of small prefectures and counties about this arduous work, and economic construction is within the scope of the government's responsibility, and I, as the secretary of the party committee, cannot overstep our position. The county magistrate of Xiaozhou took the lead in setting up a signing working group and served as the team leader, responsible for the reception and signing matters, and hoped that everyone would support and cooperate. ”

In the restaurant, all the Standing Committee members looked at Ou Chaoyang, and seemed to be a little puzzled why Secretary Ou humbly gave the "fruits of victory" to the new county magistrate. However, Chen Baijun, Xinfu and others already knew Ou Chaoyang's plan to kill two birds with one stone, so their eyes fell more on Guo Xiaozhou.

Chai Hua, who was sitting next to Guo Xiaozhou, quietly stepped on Guo Xiaozhou's feet, meaning that he should not agree.

Guo Xiaozhou smiled at Chai Hua, meaning to receive his affection.

Bai Yongmin and Chai Hua looked disappointed, and said in their hearts Ou Chaoyang dug such a big pit, but you can't wait to jump down.

Xin Fu smiled smugly.

After the banquet.

The Standing Committee members left their seats one by one.

Guo Xiaozhou lives in Ganglong, and he sent off the major Standing Committee members outside the hotel and returned to room 66666 for a nap.

In the afternoon, Han Dechang, deputy county magistrate of the county government, Song Gaowen, deputy county magistrate, and Zhu Qing, deputy county magistrate, came to report to Guo Xiaozhou one by one.

So far, Guo Xiaozhou has met the five deputy county magistrates of the county government, but there is only one named deputy county magistrate who has not met. The temporary county magistrate is a woman, a cadre under the Provincial Women's Federation, named Quan Li.

Zhan Shaowen explained that the full county magistrate went to the city women's federation to hold a meeting and will return tomorrow.

In the evening, after Guo Xiaozhou finished eating in the government canteen, he returned to the Ganglong Hotel, took a shower, and walked out of the Ganglong Hotel
