"Hello, sister-in-law. You came all the way from eastern Guangdong, and I couldn't go there to greet you in person, which is rude. Zhao Changfeng politely shook Xie Yuqiong's little hand and said with a smile. When Li Changwen brought his wife over for the first time, Zhao Changfeng naturally wanted to give face to the dead party, "This house is still used to living, right?" ”

"Thank you so much! The conditions here are excellent and very satisfying. Xie Yuqiong said with a smile, "It's that we came here this time to cause you trouble." ”

"Go, go, ramble." Li Changwen said to Xie Yuqiong on the side, "Changfeng is my sworn friend, who will trouble him if you don't bother him?" Tell him what to say politely. ”

Xie Yuqiong lowered her eyebrows and smiled pleasantly, and said no more. The women of eastern Guangdong are very virtuous and pay great attention to maintaining the face of men. When couples go out to buy things in Yuedong, they are usually carried by women with large bags and small bags, and men walk in front with empty hands, full of majesty. In the north, usually when couples go out to buy things, the men make cattle and horses, carrying large bags and small bags, and the women walk around like proud princesses. Therefore, the northerners went to eastern Guangdong to see these scenes very incomprehensibly, saying that men in eastern Guangdong did not know how to love their wives, and at this time, there was no need for men in eastern Guangdong to speak, and the women in eastern Guangdong replied vigorously: "Men do big things, if you help women do some small things with bags, wouldn't it be very faceless?" ”

Now, although Xie Yuqiong hated in her heart, she still defended Li Changwen's face on the surface.

Li Changwen let Zhao Changfeng into the room, Zhao Changfeng took a look, and knew that Lao Xing had made a name for himself when arranging the room, this room was a first-class room in the municipal party committee, only a little lower than the luxury suites that specially entertained superior leaders, no wonder Xie Yuqiong said that he was very satisfied.

Ma Dahai, the general manager of the hotel, heard the news, he entered the room, and called "mayor" flatteringly, with an earnest smile on his face. Although Ma Dahai is only a small hotel boss, he is definitely no less well-informed than the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Liu Chi and Fu Gangting had planted a problem in the Riyadha project, and he already knew that other members of the Standing Committee were more or less implicated, but Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Changfeng was alone in this incident and is likely to take this opportunity to go further. It is popular to burn cold stoves in the officialdom, while Zhao Changfeng has not yet taken the position, Ma Dahai has done enough work in advance, and when Zhao Changfeng takes the position in the future, how can he not look at him Ma Dahai differently?

"Mayor, look, is this arrangement okay?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Changfeng nodded slightly, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't like people like Ma Dahai who were good at drilling.

When Ma Dahai heard the praise, his smile became even brighter, and he saw that there was no tea in front of Zhao Changfeng, so he hurriedly said: "Mayor, there are two other leaders, I will make you tea." With that, he hurried over and picked up the tea bucket on the table. Li Changwen and Xie Yuqiong looked at each other, they were not people in the officialdom, how could they have seen such thoughtful and meticulous service?

Ma Dahai opened the tea barrel and saw that his face suddenly changed greatly, he called the waiter over with a loud shout, and said with a tense face: "Who asked you to entertain guests with such tea?" Don't you know how to bring the best tea? "In fact, the tea in this room is also very good, better than the so-called special tea in the tea house outside.

The waiter didn't dare to say anything, but secretly protested in his heart, obviously it is a rule set by your Ma Zong, and the best tea can only be used in those specific suites of Xiaozhao.

"Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I'll change it." The waiter took the tea bucket and ran out quickly.

Ma Dahai turned around and apologized to Zhao Changfeng, "Mayor, I'm sorry, the quality of the waiters is poor, and I have been slow to treat the leaders of the province." I will definitely strengthen my education in the future. ”

Li Changwen and Xie Yuqiong had a little sneering on their faces, as if they were deliberately pretending to be the leaders of the province in front of Ma Dahai.

Zhao Changfeng felt that Ma Dahai was making a little fuss, but in front of Li Changwen and Xie Yuqiong, he couldn't say anything, so he had to hum twice and nodded.

The waiter came back after changing the tea, Ma Dahai snatched it and brewed four cups, in addition to Zhao Changfeng and Li Changwen, Liu Junkang also gave a cup in front of him.

Zhao Changfeng felt that Ma Dahai was in the way in front of him, and was about to open his mouth to take him away, but Ma Dahai beckoned the waiter over, and said angrily: "Go buy two bottles of the best shower gel and shampoo and send them to the two leaders." Also, wait for a while for the leader to go to dinner, you go to get a new one, no, go buy a few new sets of come, change the sheets and blankets in the leader's room, as well as towels, bath towels and floor towels, all over again, remember, it must be different from other rooms, this is the leader's room special. In fact, Ma Dahai could have explained this matter a long time ago, but he wanted to explain it to the waiter in front of Zhao Changfeng to show his loyalty and thoughtfulness.

Li Changwen was a little embarrassed, looked at Zhao Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, don't be so troublesome, right?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Old Ma, forget it, don't use it, what about other rooms, this room will be like this." ”

"How? The two leaders cannot be neglected. Ma Dahai had a smile on his face and waved his hand to the waiter to buy it. The county official is not as good as the current management, Mayor Zhao's words are obviously not as effective as General Manager Ma's words, and the waiter quickly ran out to carry out General Manager Ma's instructions.

"Mr. Ma, so be it. If there is any need, I will call you again. Zhao Changfeng was a little tired of Ma Dahai babbling here, so he issued an eviction order.

"Okay, Mayor Zhao, I'll arrange the dishes. Okay, I'll come and invite you. Ma Dahai went out laughing.

Waiting for Ma Dahai's back to disappear at the door, Li Changwen let out a long breath, looked at Zhao Changfeng incredulously and said: "Changfeng, no wonder everyone wants to be an official, it turns out that after becoming an official, you can enjoy such a thoughtful and meticulous service!" To tell a joke, I don't think this Mr. Ma is the general manager of the hotel, but like a eunuch in the ancient palace. ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled, although Li Changwen was one year older than him, but due to the different environment, there was a considerable gap in experience and knowledge, and it was not strange to spit out such words from Li Changwen's mouth.

"Lao Wen, you can talk with ideas. Be careful that Mr. Ma hears it and drives you to live on the street. "Zhao Changfeng hasn't spoken without scheming for a long time, and today he is happy.

"Hmph, he dares! Anyway, I'm also the leader of the province, aren't I? Li Changwen raised his head triumphantly.

After talking for a while, Ma Dahai came in with a smile on his face, "The two leaders, the mayor, the dishes are ready, you see?" ”

"Shall we go down then?" Zhao Changfeng smiled and asked Li Changwen for his opinion.

"Okay, let's go down." Li Changwen pulled Xie Yuqiong to stand up.

The dinner was very well prepared and should have been the standard for the leaders of the reception province. In the words of Bibei City, General Manager Ma Dahai has water in his eyes, and he knows that Mayor Zhao Changfeng is likely to go to the next level, so he naturally has to sell some strength. The only regret is that the Huanglong soup, a specialty of Bibei City, was not prepared.

"Two leaders, you are two months late, if you come in early October, I can still go to Huilongtan to get you two yellow grids." Ma Dahai stood aside and said regretfully.

Although Li Changwen didn't know what "Brother Huang's duck" was, he saw Ma Dahai say it solemnly, and thought that it was also a very precious "duck", so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, when we have the opportunity, we will come to Bibei City again and taste the duck that Mr. Ma personally caught for us." ”

Zhao Changfeng glanced at Ma Dahai and said, "Mr. Ma, why don't you sit down and drink two cups?" ”

Ma Dahai hurriedly said: "No, no, the mayor, there are two leaders, you are busy, there are two tables of guests from Tianyang City over there, I will go over to receive them." ”

Without Ma Dahai chirping crookedly on the side, Zhao Changfeng's mood suddenly improved, he raised his wine glass and said to Li Changwen and his wife: "Lao Wen, sister-in-law, this is a reception banquet for you, and you are welcome to come to Pibei City to inspect the work." ”

Li Changwen immediately raised his glass and said with a smile: "Changfeng, give me less of this set." What kind of inspection work? I'm here to drink with you. Arjun doesn't know how to drink, so it's free, and today our brothers have a good drink. ”

"Awen, it's the first time I've been drinking with Changfeng, why should I drink the meeting wine?" Xie Yuqiong picked up the cup and glanced at Li Changwen.

"Yes, this is a must-drink." Zhao Changfeng said with a smile, "Come, let's toast." ”

The old school reunion is very interesting, everyone knows the roots, so no one needs to pretend, and they know each other how to drink. Zhao Changfeng and Li Changwen drank a few glasses of wine, more like a pair of enemies, Zhao Changfeng desperately slandered Li Changwen's image in front of Xie Yuqiong, and said some troubles about Li Changwen chasing girls when he was in junior high school. And Li Changwen was not to be outdone, and he also desperately revealed Zhao Changfeng's old background when he was in school, and he didn't care about Zhao Changfeng's secretary Liu Junkang sitting on the side.

It was Liu Junkang, who listened to a few words and felt that he couldn't sit down anymore, so he took a chance, got up and slipped away, and went down to find Lao Xing.

Without the presence of the secretary, Zhao Changfeng is naturally more convenient to play extraordinarily. And Li Changwen was naturally unwilling to lose the face of a big man in front of his wife, so he and Zhao Changfeng had a difficult battle. While drinking Li Changwen, he also wondered, he was trained by his father to drink alcohol since the first grade of primary school, and he drank a lot of alcohol, Zhao Changfeng didn't drink a drop of alcohol when he was in school, and he never saw him drink, why is the amount of alcohol so good today? No wonder people say that officials are good cadres who have been tested by alcohol, and it seems that it is true, officialdom really trains people, at least the amount of alcohol they drink. Li Changwen didn't know that Zhao Changfeng had a special body and did not react to alcohol, if he really let go of drinking, how could Li Changwen be Zhao Changfeng's opponent?

After drinking the first bottle of Moutai and half of the second bottle of Moutai, Zhao Changfeng estimated that Li Changwen had almost drunk it, so he took the initiative to propose a truce. Li Changwen didn't give up, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Xie Yuqiong secretly pinched the root of his thigh, and immediately came to his senses and said curtly: "Okay, okay, halftime, temporary truce." ”

"Lao Wen, what intermission? It's supposed to be the final break. You drink so much, how can I drink more than you? You know, I didn't drink a lot of alcohol when I was in middle school. Zhao Changfeng smiled bitterly and said goodbye, giving Li Changwen enough face.

"Okay, for your sake, I'll let you go today." Li Changwen burped.

"Hehe, thank you." Zhao Changfeng arched his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk brother." Lao Wen, are you still at Honda Motor Company? ”

Li Changwen shook his head and said, "Don't mention that disgusting person's company, I would have come out a long time ago." ”

Zhao Changfeng listened to Li Changwen's words and had great opinions on Honda Automobile Company, and knew that there must be some reason in the middle, but since Li Changwen didn't say it, it was estimated that there was any trouble, so he didn't ask any questions, but just said: "It's okay to come out." Which line of work are you doing now? ”

"Which line? Unemployment! As soon as Li Changwen's words came out, Xie Yuqiong pinched him fiercely, hating him for saying it so bluntly, and he didn't know how to hide it at all.

"Arjun, what are you pinching me for? Changfeng is my sworn friend, what am I afraid of when I say it? What's so shameful about that. As soon as Li Changwen shouted, Xie Yuqiong immediately blushed, she smiled at Zhao Changfeng embarrassedly, and the hand under the table pinched Li Changwen fiercely.

"Alright, don't make a fuss! Let me talk to Changfeng about something serious! Li Changwen stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Yuqiong's hand, turned his head to Zhao Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, I won't tell you, I came here to ask you for help this time." ”

"Lao Wen, my brother, why be polite. Tell me, how can you help me? If I can help, I will definitely help. Zhao Changfeng said with a smile.

"Look, Arjun, look, I said it a long time ago, although Changfeng became the mayor, he is still my brother Li Changwen, I didn't lie to you, right?" Li Changwen shouted. Xie Yuqiong's face was as red as a red cloth, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
