Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Few Inadvertent Sentences
Yue Haohan opened the door of the room, and saw Qin Yuting standing at the door of the room with a smile on the face of a burly soldier in a colonel's uniform; Yue Haohan paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Qin, you are really a rare guest, come in and sit." ”
Qin Yuting sat down on the sofa in the room with the colonel, and Yue Haohan poured tea while asking, "Senior sister, why did you come here?" Who is this colonel? ”
Qin Yuting smiled and took the tea handed over by Yue Haohan, glanced at the colonel beside her, and replied: "Senior Brother Haohan, I forgot to introduce you, he is my lover Wei Guoxiong, you should call him brother-in-law, he serves in the Lanzhou Military Region; If you take leave to come back and contact your employer, you are going to change jobs this year. ”
Yue Haohan handed Wei Guoxiong another cup of tea and said, "Hello brother-in-law!" Please drink tea. Wei Guoxiong took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and then put it on the coffee table next to him, and asked, "Where are you Secretary Chen Guoyun in the afternoon?" ”
Qin Yuting saw that after Wei Guoxiong finished asking, Yue Haohan's face was full of questions, and she hurriedly introduced: "Senior brother, your Secretary Chen Guoyun Chen is the old head of Guoxiong, and when Secretary Chen was the head of the regiment, your brother-in-law was still a small platoon leader. In the morning, he heard from his comrades-in-arms that Secretary Chen Guoyun and Secretary Chen had come to Jianghan and lived here, so we came over, and just knocked on the door of the room next to him, but there was no one; We thought he was in your room, but we didn't expect to knock on the door and see you. ”
Yue Haohan looked at Qin Yuting and his wife, and said, "Senior sister, Secretary Chen may be in the restaurant on the second floor, or in another room, I slept at noon, and I just got up just now." ”
The three of them were chatting, Ma Minggang walked in, saw Qin Yuting and Wei Guoxiong, nodded to the two of them with a smile, and then said to Yue Haohan, "Haohan, a visitor?" ”
Yue Haohan hurriedly introduced Qin Yuting and the two to Ma Minggang, and said: "Director Ma, this is my senior sister, Director Qin Yuting and Director Qin of the Student Management Office of the Provincial Party School; This is my senior sister's lover, the head of Wei Guoxiongwei, and Secretary Chen's comrade-in-arms. ”
After introducing Qin Yuting and his wife to Ma Minggang, Yue Haohan introduced Ma Minggang to Qin Yuting and the two, saying: "Senior sister, this is Director Ma of our Jiangyang County Transportation Bureau. ”
Ma Minggang waited for Yue Haohan to finish his introduction, sat down on the bed in the room, and said: "Haohan, just now I booked a large private room No. 8 with Secretary Chen and Township Chief Deng in the catering department on the second floor of the hotel. ”
As soon as Ma Ming finished speaking, Yue Haohan used the phone in the room to leave a message for Chen Wenhao's pager; After putting down the phone, he asked Ma Minggang and said, "Director Ma, where will Secretary Chen be?" ”
"Just got back to my room." Ma Minggang replied.
Yue Haohan got up, and with Qin Yuting and his wife, he went to the next room to see Chen Guoyun; Entering the room, seeing Chen Guoyun sitting on the sofa with a cigarette and smoking, Wei Guoxiong stepped forward quickly, saluted a standard military salute in front of Chen Guoyun, and said, "Good old chief!" Colonel Wei Guoxiong reports to you. ”
Wei Guoxiong's appearance made Qin Yuting and Yue Haohan laugh one by one; When Chen Guoyun saw Wei Guoxiong, he quickly stood up, threw half of the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray on the coffee table, stretched out his hands to hold Wei Guoxiong's hand, and laughed loudly: "Guoxiong, you kid is okay, you are a colonel when you are young." ”
Wei Guoxiong smiled and said, "Old chief, when you are your age, aren't you also the head of the regiment." Chen Guoyun smiled and said: "Don't mention me, don't mention me, I'm still a deputy regiment." ”
After greetings, everyone sat down in the room, and Chen Guoyun said: "You came here just in time today, we can have a few drinks in the evening, and help me accompany a few leaders in the traffic hall today; I was just wondering how good we are. ”
Qin Yuting next to her interjected and said, "Secretary Chen, you have something to do at night, let's sit for a while and leave, tomorrow we will be the east, and you can have a few drinks together with a few friends and catch up on the old days." ”
Chen Guoyun said: "If you say anything, you can't leave today; There is no one else today, except for a few people from Jiangyang, who are Chen Wenhao, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and a few people from the Department of Transportation. ”
"Chen Wenhao is also coming over at night?" Qin Yuting asked.
Chen Guoyun said: "Yes, it is the leaders of the Department of Transportation that Director Chen Wenhao and Chen helped us make an appointment. ”
A few people were chatting, only to see Deng Xuanfa and Ma Minggang followed by Fang Yongmei and Li Xiaohui into the room, Qin Yuting saw Fang Yongmei, greeted him with a smile on her face, and said, "Yongmei, why are you here?" It turned out that Qin Yuting and Fang Yongmei were the best classmates in high school.
Seeing that there were too many people in the room, Chen Guoyun said: "Let's all go to the restaurant below to sit, it is spacious, and we will wait for Director Chen and Director Xu in the restaurant." ”
At six o'clock, Chen Wenhao arrived at the No. 8 box of the restaurant on the second floor of the Huaxia Hotel; As soon as everyone finished greeting each other and introducing them, Xu Huaishan, deputy director of the Department of Transportation, followed by Yang Siyuan, director of the Comprehensive Planning Division of the Department of Transportation, and Qi Shaoyu, general manager of Tongda Road and Bridge Company, the three of them walked into the box with a smile under the guidance of a beautiful waitress.
Xu Huaishan, deputy director of the Department of Communications, looked like he was forty-seven or eighteen, tall and slightly fat, and seemed to have a smile on his face forever; Xu Huaishan was originally the secretary of the county party committee of Xinyu County, and because of his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted to the Provincial Department of Transportation as executive deputy director with the help of Chen Wenhao during the change of office the year before last.
Yang Siyuan, director of the Comprehensive Planning Division of the Department of Transportation, is in his thirties, not tall, thin, white, with a pair of myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodding and smiling at everyone, and people who don't know still think he is a middle school teacher; After graduating from university, Yang Siyuan was assigned to the Department of Communications, from a clerk to a section chief, and he was regarded as a business leader in the Department of Communications.
Tongda Road and Bridge Company in Central South Province is a state-owned enterprise under the Provincial Department of Communications, with a level of director, and the chairman of the board of directors is concurrently served by Xu Huaishan, deputy director of the Department of Communications; General Manager Qi Shaoyu is about forty years old, and he looks very modest, but his big groomed back seems to remind you all the time that he is also a department-level cadre; But the 'big brother' in his hand seems to tell you that he is also a person in the business field.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Guoyun solicited Chen Wenhao's opinion and began to arrange for everyone to be seated. Chen Guoyun sat in the escort position facing the box door, Xu Huaishan was arranged to sit in the guest of honor position, Chen Wenhao sat down in Chen Guoyun's left-hand deputy guest of honor position, Deng Xuanfa sat in the deputy escort position opposite Chen Guoyun, Deng Xuanfa's right-hand position was Yang Siyuan, and the left-hand position was Qi Shaoyu, Wei Guoxiong was arranged to sit in the escort position next to Xu Huaishan because he was Chen Guoyun's comrade-in-arms, Qin Yuting sat by Wei Guoxiong, Fang Yongmei sat by Chen Wenhao, Li Xiaohui sat by Qin Yuting, and Ma Minggang sat next to Fang Yongmei as the fourth escort, Yue Haohan sat on Yang Siyuan's right hand for the fifth escort, and the other personnel sat randomly.
After everyone sat down, waiting for the food to come up, the waiter filled the goblets in front of everyone with wine; The men poured all the liquor, and several ladies poured the dynasty dry red.
Seeing that the wine was poured, Chen Guoyun looked at the people at the table, turned to Xu Huaishan and nodded, then turned to Chen Wenhao and said, "Director Chen, how about we just drink the first glass of wine 'six up'?" ”
Chen Wenhao smiled and nodded, "Okay!" Listen to Secretary Chen, you are the host. ”
In the formal wine field of Central South Province, after entering the table, each person first fills a glass with a large goblet, which is a must-drink for everyone present, and not drinking it is disrespectful to the host. Generally speaking, 'Liuqi' is to drink the wine in the cup, and the meaning of 'Qi' contains the meaning of 'developed', which is auspicious. In this way, everyone is led by the master, while drinking, eating, and talking.
According to the rules of the wine field in Central and Southern Province, the first glass of wine will naturally be accompanied by Chen Guoyun to make an opening remarks, and then lead everyone to drink this cup. Next, it was the turn of the deputy Deng Xuanfa, and he also led everyone to drink a glass of wine after being polite. Then the guests thanked the host for their hospitality one by one, and so on and so forth, from the accompaniment to the guest, from the guest to the accompaniment, and so on...... It's hard not to drink too much on such an occasion. The last cup is received by the "main escort", and the guests and hosts are happy, not drunk and do not return.
Don't look at Chen Guoyun as a soldier, but he doesn't mess with the rules of the wine shop at all; I saw Chen Guoyun holding up his glass and said: "Today is a good day, under the care and recommendation of Director Chen of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, we can have the honor to meet the leaders of Director Xu, Director Yang and General Manager Qi of the Provincial Department of Transportation here; Especially today, by chance, my comrade-in-arms Commander Wei Guoxiong and his lover Director Qin were also present, as well as the arrival of Section Chief Fang and Xiao Li from the Department of Finance, which made us even more moved; I hope that all the leaders here will come to our Jiangyang County to guide the work in the future, and care more about and support us; The first glass of wine we divided into 'six' and dried up. After the toast was finished, Chen Guoyun took the lead in drinking.
Then everyone began to eat, chatting casually, after the first glass of wine 'Liuqi' was dry, Chen Guoyun took the lead and began to toast; Chen Guoyun finished saluting in a circle, Deng Xuanfa continued to salute, followed by Ma Minggang and Yue Haohan
In the evening, because everyone was not very familiar with each other, they did not climb each other too much, and they followed the rules and drank in moderation. At the wine table, everyone didn't mention a word about the repair of the bridge on the Longwang River in the Heiyazi Management Area of Wulong Township, Jiangyang County.
After the meal, everyone shook hands for a while and walked out of the restaurant. They all said that they would send Xu Huaishan and Chen Wenhao away, and everyone stood in the corridor outside the restaurant on the second floor of Huaxia Hotel, polite to each other. Everyone pushed and pulled, the scene seemed chaotic, but the people who sent off the guests were very clear in their hearts, and they always surrounded Xu Huaishan and Chen Wenhao.
A large group of people arrived on the first floor, Xu Huaishan walked in front, and when he was about to leave, as if inadvertently, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and took the hands of Chen Guoyun and Yue Haohan, who were following closely behind, and said: "Secretary Chen, Xiaoyue, if you have time, go to the traffic hall to sit and sit there, build bridges and repair roads, if there are any difficulties, just say, talk to Siyuan or Shaoyu, Director Chen's friend is my friend Xu Huaishan." ”
After Xu Huaishan said this, he shook hands with Chen Wenhao again, then walked to the car in the parking lot to pick him up, got in it and left. Looking at Xu Huaishan and the others who were leaving, Yue Haohan said in his heart: "The most important words tonight are actually the seemingly casual words when Xu Huaishan left!" The communication in this officialdom is really incomprehensible. ”
Seeing off Xu Huaishan and his party, Yue Haohan accompanied Chen Wenhao and his wife and Li Xiaohui to go upstairs to the room where Yue Haohan lived; Chen Guoyun accompanied Wei Guoxiong and Qin Yuting to Chen Guoyun's room.
Chen Wenhao and Yue Haohan were in the room, chatting for a while, and when he left, he told Yue Haohan and said: "Haohan, I helped you introduce several leaders of the Transportation Department today, and you can let Secretary Chen Guoyun and Secretary Chen take the people of the Transportation Bureau to operate the rest of the matter, and you will give you Secretary Chen the credit; As for Director Xu Huaishan, you have to walk around more in the future, which will be good for your future progress; In the future, if you are in a position, there will be more places to use him, and I have talked to him about you alone. This time for funding, you don't come forward again. ”
After Chen Wenhao, Fang Yongmei, and Li Xiaohui left, Yue Haohan sat alone on the sofa in the room, thinking about what Chen Wenhao had just said to himself, and fell into deep thought.
After sitting stunned for a while, Yue Haohan got up and went to Chen Guoyun's room next to him, Qin Yuting and his wife, I don't know when they have left; Only a few people from Jiangyang County were sitting in the room, and everyone was chatting excitedly. The whole room was filled with smoke, and seeing Yue Haohan coming in, Chen Guoyun smiled and asked, "Haohan, Director Chen is gone?" ”
Yue Haohan sat down on Deng Xuanfa's bed and replied, "Well, just left!" ”
Chen Guoyun took a puff of cigarette, spit out the smoke, looked at Yue Haohan, and said: "Haohan, just now a few of us are still saying, you have made a great contribution this time, with Director Xu's words when he finally left, the project funds should be fine, it is estimated that it is much better than we expected, we will strike while the iron is hot, and we will go to Director Xu's office tomorrow to report on the bridge." ”
Yue Haohan looked at Chen Guoyun and said, "Secretary Chen, I have something I want to report to you, tomorrow my girlfriend will fly over from the East China Sea, and I plan to pick her up tomorrow morning; I won't be going to the Transportation Department tomorrow. ”
Chen Guoyun pressed the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and said with a smile: "Okay, you will concentrate on picking up your girlfriend tomorrow, and let Director Ma register your girlfriend in the room, and the traffic department will be reported by me, Director Ma, and Township Chief Deng." ”
In Chen Guoyun's room, when the conversation was nearly half past ten, Zheng Ziyan returned to the hotel with Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia from Central South Normal University; Yue Haohan said hello to Chen Guoyun and the others, and went to the room where Yue Chunfang's sisters lived.
Seeing Yue Haohan coming in, Zheng Ziyan said: "Brother Haohan, I told Zhao Juan, who is in the same dormitory, today, let her accompany Chunfang and Chunxia to register tomorrow, and after we send our two younger sisters to school tomorrow morning, we will go directly to the airport to pick up Sister Ziying, okay?" ”
Yue Haohan said: "Okay, just like that." Rest early, and I will rest. ”
