Lei Xiangdong's words seemed to remind a few people who were immersed in the atmosphere of meeting old classmates, and they woke up in an instant, looked at each other with a smile, and turned their attention to the humility of the seat, Huang Heyuan shook his elbows and retreated, saying that he didn't want to sit in the middle position, Qi Tianxiang also shook his head with a smile, resolutely refusing Huang Heyuan's intention to invite him to sit on the main seat, several people pulled each other, and no one wanted to take one more step forward.

"Do you have to put the cards on the table beforehand? are all big men, how to twist and twist like a girl, and they are not afraid of lesbian jokes. Lei Xiangdong raised his voice and said decisively: "Today here with me, I have the final say." ”

Lei Xiangdong's categorical tone made the short-term confusion caused by Humility stop immediately, and they also set their eyes on Lei Xiangdong. Seeing everyone's expressions, Lei Xiangdong felt like a mirror in his heart, he didn't know what Huang Heyuan was doing, but Qi Tianxiang's intention to let him arrange this meal was clear to him.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Qi Tianxiang called, and it was directly on his mobile phone, which was rare in the past. In the past few years, he has not had much contact with Qi Tianxiang, but it is not a little, there is almost no intersection at work, they are all holidays, or chat in their spare time, exchange recent ideas, or simply Qi Tianxiang called, the two of them drank some wine together, or drank some tea, and chatted nonsense, each other was relaxed and rested.

He was in the bank, and it was a regional branch of the joint-stock bank, Qi Tianxiang was in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and later in Hezhou City, there was no overlap in work, and there was no conflict in interests. With a similar status and level, coupled with such a level of classmate relationship, there are many topics that can be discussed, such as politics, economy, social development, as well as domestic and foreign, philosophical, everything can be talked about, everything can be involved, but it is only an exchange of views.

Every once in a while, there will be such an exchange between the two of them, but Qi Tianxiang still looks for him more, because Qi Tianxiang's time is not fixed, his whereabouts are not fixed, but he seems to be where he will always be, quietly waiting for Qi Tianxiang to meet, quietly waiting for Qi Tianxiang's arrival.

The usual way is for Qi Tianxiang to call over, explain his intentions after chatting a few words, and then after a few minutes, he will send a message to Qi Tianxiang's mobile phone with the arranged room number, and then go to the small room at the appointed time and wait. A bottle of old wine, a few side dishes, plus a pot of tea, and two packs of cigarettes are the most fulfilling props between them, and they are also necessary to open the topic and relax their tracks.

This method has been carried out secretly for several years, all of which are telephone exchanges and agreements, and the calls are usually made to the landline, using the call transfer function on the landline, the call is transferred to the mobile phone, and then the resumption is determined according to the actual situation, or SMS communication. It is such a relaxed and indifferent way that maintains the communication between them, and there is also a quiet and peaceful corner, which only belongs to the two of them, the two of them, and the middle-aged man with thoughts and ideas.

But this afternoon, Qi Tianxiang called his mobile phone directly, and asked him to arrange a banquet with northwest characteristics in the evening, and specified that he was in the No. 1 VIP room, and then told him that Huang Heyuan came over, and several old classmates invited him to have a meal in the evening.

Qi Tianxiang didn't say too many words, maybe it was inconvenient, maybe it was difficult to say, but Lei Xiangdong completely understood what Qi Tianxiang meant, and even the inconvenient or difficult words to say were heard really and clearly.

The important guests from Hehai Province and the VIPs received by the governor came forward to receive them, but they did not use so many reception places for the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and there were so many professional reception institutions and personnel, so they chose to come to his financial training center and let him receive them. This is obviously an unorthodox move, which is really too weird, and also implies subtlety and mystery.

Huang Heyuan arrived in the afternoon of Hehai, according to common sense, the dinner party secretary should come forward to wash the dust for the secretary of the provincial party committee who came from afar, and the governor attended the banquet to accompany him, a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, but also showed the sincerity and enthusiasm of the welcome.

Lin Dongsheng did not come forward, and the governor Qi Tianxiang came forward instead, it was not impossible, and it was also an extremely strategic move. The second-in-command of Hohai Province can also make a buffer for the secretary of the provincial party committee after fully understanding the needs and attitudes of the guests, and gradually receive the specifications, which shows the thoughtfulness and depth of etiquette.

Qi Tianxiang, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, arranged a high-standard dinner to entertain Huang Heyuan and the delegation he brought.

But now Lin Dongsheng does not come forward to receive him, the real intention may be to have room for maneuver, entrust Qi Tianxiang, or Qi Tianxiang to invite Ying, but he does not adopt a normal standardized reception method, what the reason is, it is difficult to estimate. It may be that I don't want to be too formal, so that the following things are passive, but it will definitely not be perfunctory, so it should be a grand banquet in the Nanjiao Hotel. Choosing him to entertain Huang Heyuan here, and designating the No. 1 VIP room, the special dishes of the Northwest, and convening the old classmates of the party school to have a happy gathering, it shows that Qi Tianxiang has a deep plan, maybe he is playing a big game of chess, otherwise he doesn't need to be so weekly, and he doesn't need such a design.

Qi Tianxiang, Lei Xiangdong thinks he knows a lot, although he doesn't dare to say it, he can still know a little about his style of work and the principles of dealing with the world. In addition to the old-fashioned, kind-hearted and noble personality, under the delicate and elegant appearance, there is a sensitive and meticulous heart, careful thinking and cautious behavioral constraints. It doesn't seem to be very esoteric underneath the surface, but it is unfathomable scheming and wisdom, sometimes it seems like lifting a weight, but sometimes it seems to be a weight, a little difficult to figure out. But one thing is clear, that is, behind every action and decision he makes, there will be no simplicity, there will be a deep plan, or a plan.

Although he is not very clear about Qi Tianxiang's true intentions, Lei Xiangdong knows that Qi Tianxiang must have a deep intention in choosing him to treat him here, which does not need to be studied too deeply, as long as he understands that Qi Tianxiang needs to be peaceful and cheerful, and needs a strong nostalgia between classmates, dilute some formal conversations, or formal serious topics, plus some grand atmosphere, there are northwest hometown dishes, so that Huang Heyuan can feel the warmth of his hometown and relatives. These are not difficult to do, the financial training center not only has a luxurious and magnificent No. 1 banquet hall, but also an all-round special chef and a complete reserve of dishes, it is not difficult to prepare a few Northwest specialties.

Thinking like this, Lei Xiangdong's movements did not stop at all, first took Huang Heyuan's hand and sent it to the main seat of the banquet table, and then pulled Qi Tianxiang to sit on the left side, and then arranged Hou Zhehai to the left of Huang Heyuan, and he and Liu Xiaojun walked to the opposite two positions, and their eyes signaled the two beautiful directors to sit in the middle of the transition between the two sides. Let's follow the rules of the party school, no matter what position or what qualifications, when we arrive at the party school, we are classmates, and everyone is equal. ”

"Lao Huang sits on the throne, the elders are respected, and you should take advantage. Tianxiang has the highest knowledge, is not only a doctoral supervisor, but also an expert, respects teachers and emphasizes teaching, and should be reflected, so sitting in the Venerable position, the left is not only the Venerable position, but also the position of the heavenly Kuixing, Tianxiang should be exclusive. The dignity of the teacher is the tradition of ancient times, and it is the precious inheritance of Chinese civilization, Brother Zhehai is a classmate and a teacher, and he has both, so he occupies the position of the right noble, and the right side conforms to the position of the heavenly Fulu star. When he settled down, Lei Xiangdong's explanation was not over, and then said: "When Xiaojun and I were in party school, Meng was not out of focus, and he was not far from praise, he lived in a dormitory, and a computer was rushed, so he should naturally sit together now." And the two of us sit opposite the three of you, and we also said that the position of the two of us corresponds to the stars in the sky is the two stars of wealth and fortune, we are all people in the officialdom, and if we are officials, we will serve the people. The position of the two female comrades is both separation and integration, the so-called man is like a mountain, and a woman is like water. Between the two peaks, there must always be clear water flowing, slow or urgent, wide or narrow, urgent waves crashing on the shore and thundering, slow is tolerant and big, moisturizing things silently, incomparably beautiful, and thousands of charms. ”

Lei Xiangdong's explanation is also solemn and harmonious, even true and false, crooked reasoning and detailed explanation, everyone knows that it is not true, but they have to admire his ability to contact and explain, so that after a long time, no one thought to answer.

After a moment of tranquility, Lei Xiangdong looked at the old classmates, and said with a smile: "Since the old classmates have no objections, it means that everyone has approved my arrangement and agreed with my positioning and design. So now that the gods have returned to their places and the food and wine are still available, can we start the so-called gluttonous feast? ”

Lei Xiangdong's words, polite and thoughtful and sincere, are not only a reminder to several old classmates, but also a reminder to the two beautiful directors, without waiting for Lei Xiangdong to make other instructions, the two directors hurriedly stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, took the wine from the waiter's hand, skillfully poured wine for several VIPs, and then sat back in his seat, looking at Lei Xiangdong with grace, waiting for his next arrangement or proposal
