Chapter 14: The Study of Seats
In fact, Yuan Daming's heart is not very comfortable. Since becoming the secretary of the executive deputy director, he has always been proud, and he can be regarded as a leader in getting ahead. Among his classmates, of course, he always seems to be superior.
Unexpectedly, with Yi Zhihan's sudden rise and becoming Director Zhou's secretary, his original unique status was obviously challenged. The classmates paid more admiring eyes to Yi Zhihan. Then, his show of love for the two beauties also suffered setbacks one after another.
What Yuan Daming didn't expect was that even Ren Xiaotian, a 'Mr. Cup', actually came from behind and rode on his head. Such a very ordinary small squad leader also has to rely on Ren Xiaotian's charity to get it, how can this not make him feel a little discouraged!
Angry in his heart, Yuan Daming still pretended to be very generous on the surface and said: "Xie Lu Xie has given me an opportunity to serve everyone, and I will work hard to contribute my meager efforts and make the greatest dedication to everyone." β
It wasn't until the interval before dinner that Ren Xiaotian learned the reason for his abuse from the mouths of the two colonels. The reason why he was a little ridiculous was that he shouldn't give up the position of squad leader to Yuan Daming.
As for the reason for this, both of them are vague. In other words, I don't want to say the deeper reason. The interaction between classmates in the provincial capital, Ren Xiaotian is not very clear. The two beauties didn't want to talk about it, so he simply didn't ask.
Two days later is the National Day, this time to the provincial capital, Ren Xiaotian specially took two days off, ready to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days. The important reason is that he promised Xiaohai to accompany the child to the zoo to play. Thinking of visiting the garden with Shui Suqin and Xiaohai's mother and son, Ren Xiaotian's mouth had a hint of warmth on the corners.
It is precisely because of this reason that Ren Xiaotian made an exception to ask for leave. Otherwise, he just wanted to stay here to participate in Zhao Renmai's reception banquet, and he could only sigh with admiration.
The guests who attended the banquet in the evening, in addition to the six students who participated in the graduate class, Zhao Renmai also called Yang Dongsheng, who was also in the provincial capital. At the last class meeting, Zhu Jianjun said a lot of ridiculous language to Ren Xiaotian. For such a reason, when discussing the list of participants in tonight's event, Xu Jingliu did not hesitate to vote against it.
"What are you calling him for? Isn't it just an ordinary organizer? What is there to hide! Hmph, I can't see it yet. "It's true, in front of the daughter of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, an organizer at the deputy section level is nothing.
In the magical country of China, rich people can be very popular. In many places, you can use the copper stench all over your body to disgust others. Of course, he can also use money to open the doors of many high-ranking officials' homes. It's just that when he meets a real high-ranking official, or when he encounters a high-ranking official he can't afford to offend, then he is nothing.
This is the case with Tao Lili at this time. When she saw Xu Jingliu in a frenzy, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only look at Xu Jingliu with pitiful eyes. She didn't expect her fiancΓ© to attend today's dinner, she just hoped that this lady of heaven would be able to keep her mouth shut.
Ren Xiaotian noticed Tao Lili's expression, and immediately pulled Xu Jingliu and persuaded in a low voice: "Xiao Liu'er, don't talk nonsense, classmates don't care about these officialdom things. Lily, you help me inform you of the establishment of the army, a rare opportunity, let's get together together. β
Xu Jingliu was still a little unconvinced, but it was only because Yi Zhihan also persuaded her later, which could be regarded as pulling down. Among the classmates, everyone knows that if Xu Jingliu can restrain Miss Miss's temper, there are only two people, Ren Xiaotian and Yi Zhihan. Now that the two of them are persuading at the same time, of course Xu Jingliu can only 'hum'.
However, after such an episode, it is not completely without effect. After Zhu Jianjun arrived, his words and deeds have always been decent, and he is no longer as arrogant as last time. When he saw Ren Xiaotian, he also greeted him very politely. As long as you are not a fool, you can see it clearly.
Xu Jingliu lost her temper. Of course, an important reason. The Tao family has long had a guiding ideology, and they must do everything possible to climb the two big trees of Xu Jingliu and Zhao Renmai's family. Of course, Yi Zhihan and Yuan Daming, two rookies in officialdom, are also people who cannot be offended.
Ren Xiaotian was able to participate in this kind of graduate class, which also shocked Zhu Jianjun. From Tao Lili's participation in the learning process, he can understand that the difficulty of obtaining this kind of quota is not ordinary. Thinking of his behavior last time, Zhu Jianjun regretted it a little in his heart. You say, is it necessary for you to offend Ren Xiaotian for no reason?
In order to let Zhu Jianjun participate in the dinner, although Xu Jingliu was dissatisfied, because it was Ren Xiaotian's decision, he stopped talking.
Ren Xiaotian's thoughts are the same as those that he did to Xin Haoxiang at the beginning, since there is no deep hatred, there is no need to be overly careful. Bullying the weak and stepping on the victim is a habit of the Chinese people. If you think too much, it means that you will make too many enemies. Practice has proved that if he released a little kindness to Xin Haoxiang, didn't he get the support of others for his work?
Zhao Renmai also invited two more guests, one was Lu Ping from the Provincial Security Bureau, and the other was Su Zhengwang from the Provincial Procuratorate. The two of them, like Zhao Renmai, are both children from the compound of the Jinling Municipal Party Committee, and they are both classmates in this graduate class.
The place to eat is still at the original 'Dorsett Hotel'. There is a little strength in Jinling City, and if you don't have a treat in such a place, it seems that you can't show your identity. After school, a group of people drove directly to the 'Dorsett Hotel'.
When they got there, Yang Dongsheng and Zhu Jianjun were already waiting in the private room. As soon as they met, Yang Dongsheng and Ren Xiaotian had a hug.
"Dragons are dragons, and they don't sink forever. You see, it's only been a long time before the male talent in our class has been flying again. Yang Dongsheng was happy and sighed.
Yang Dongsheng is a person who has always been full of confidence in Ren Xiaotian. When he learned that Ren Xiaotian could participate in such a graduate class, he strengthened his confidence.
may have been greeted by Tao Lili in advance, Zhu Jianjun also took the initiative to greet him, grabbed Ren Xiaotian's hand and said, "Xiaotian, it is worthy of being the pride of our class." It is really envious that we can do such a good job at the grassroots level. β
Zhu Jianjun's behavior can be regarded as a silent apology. With such a start, such a dinner can be regarded as setting a joyful tone. When the table is opened, the matter of sitting position is also a headache.
No one could have imagined that Zhao Renmai's carefully arranged table of classmates had a dinner party, and before the table started, he encountered a difficult matter of seating arrangement. The so-called headache is a headache on the bodies of two beauties. Ren Xiaotian is the guest of honor, of course, to sit next to the host. It's just that Yi Zhihan and Xu Jingliu both want to sit next to Ren Xiaotian, which makes it difficult for the master to settle this matter.
Yang Dongsheng saw Zhao Renmai's embarrassed appearance, so he quietly suggested: "Cannon, I think you don't want to make this trouble." Just let Xiaotian sit on the host's seat and treat the two beauties as the guest of honor. β
This method is good, but it is a little too obvious, and it will make Yuan Daming taste it. The last time I participated in the class dinner hosted by Yang Dongsheng, I was sitting in the host's seat, why couldn't I even be the guest of honor this time!
Zhao Renmai's personality looks a bit rough from the outside. Actually, he also has a delicate side. After hearing Yang Dongsheng's proposal, he smiled treacherously and said, "Old Yang, this matter is easy to do, you come to see me." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Renmai sat down in the master's seat like a golden knife, and then said: "'Nuxiucai', you are the leader, please sit on my right." Damien, you sit on my left. Look, is this okay? β
This arrangement obviously takes into account the identities of Yi Zhihan and Yuan Daming's secretaries. From the perspective of officialdom, it can be regarded as just right.
"Brother Xiucai, you are my Zhao someone's honored guest, let you sit down against the beauty. Well, it's fun enough to be a brother. Zhao Renmai didn't wait for Xu Jingliu to pout, so he preemptively said: "Xiao Liu'er, I will give you a glorious and arduous task, that is, to help me take care of Brother Xiucai." β
"Okay, make sure you get the job done." The dark clouds on Xu Jingliu's face disappeared quickly, and she sat down on Ren Xiaotian's right side with a smile.
After the seating arrangement of these people is set, the rest of the people will sit at will. Yang Dongsheng gave a thumbs up and gestured twice towards Zhao Renmai. Zhao Renmai raised his head and made a backward flick movement. It's just that the hair on the head is not long, and it has not been able to stand up in style. The air provoked Xu Jingliu to cover her small mouth and chuckle "Ge, Ge".
After the banquet, you and I talked about the feelings of classmates, and there was no conscious snuggling of others like the last time, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
The most talked about topic, of course, is that Ren Xiaotian was able to unexpectedly get a place in graduate school. It's just that Ren Xiaotian doesn't fully know, and although Yi Zhihan knows, he won't say it. After talking about it for a while, it naturally stopped talking.
Zhao Renmai's two hairs are small, and because they work in provincial-level organs, in addition to not being very familiar with Ren Xiaotian, they are not strangers to several other classmates. Although some of them have not confessed, they have heard of it somewhat. Therefore, the two of them will not be restrained at all at this kind of banquet table, but frequently attack and launch a toasting offensive. It can be seen that they are saving face for Zhao Renmai.
Of course, they will not snub Ren Xiaotian. During the daytime class, Ren Xiaotian shined, which was worth a good handover between the two of them. What's more, Ren Xiaotian is Zhao Renmai's eldest brother, and he has to cheer for him.
It's just that who could have imagined that woe will come from the mouth. Some of them were suppressed because of these few pleasantries.
