There are eight representatives of the EG, and the most striking is two.

One is a tall man who walked with Governor Bai Yan with a smile, with well-defined facial features, deep eyes, speaking in a low voice, and a gentle and polite gesture.

The other is a woman in purple walking on the left side of Bai Yan, with a big wave covering half of her fair face, the sea hanging down to the watery autumn pupils, and the corners of her pink lips are slightly upturned with a bright smile.

Yu Manwa pushed Meng Jinxing's arm and whispered: "The women's army of Changfeng is in front of this, and I suddenly feel that the group is lost!" ”

Fang Tianyue stood behind them and said softly: "Our women's army of one game at a time relies on wisdom. ”

Meng Jinxing couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this, Fang Tianyue was very protective of his subordinates.

His gaze has been on the face of the woman in purple, beautiful things will always attract more attention, let alone such a living stunner?

Half an hour ago, Meng Jinxing didn't have much time to look at her on the street, and now standing behind a row of leaders, he was no different from all ordinary young men, conniving his gaze and admiring this woman unscrupulously.

He subconsciously compared this woman with Wu Yaqin in his mind, she was also a woman in a shopping mall, and both of them were outstanding in appearance.

However, Wu Yaqin standing in front of people gives people the feeling of cold arrogance, although this kind of arrogance is rare in front of him, but the sense of distance she exudes from time to time always makes people lack the courage to approach.

And the woman in front of her exudes a kind of warmth all over her body, whether it is her voice or her smile, it is like a pair of soft hands, which can directly touch the heart, giving people a ticklish and numb feeling.

"Hey! Distracted? Yu Manwa suddenly pushed Meng Jinxing and whispered, "Take a seat!" ”

Meng Jinxing suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had been woken up from a sweet dream, and he had a feeling of amazement.

This business banquet was set up in the banquet hall of the foreign guest hall, two large round tables for twenty people, Bai Yan took the lead in front of the round table facing the left side of the door, waved his hand to invite everyone to take their seats, and then sat down in the center of the door.

Ling Kejian sat down opposite Bai Yan with his back to the door, while Cheng Lan and Ni Ruihua sat down in the two host seats of the other round table, and the escorts at all levels of the host side consciously found the corresponding positions according to their own level, standing with a smile and waiting for the waiter to lead the guests to their seats in order, and then they took their seats.

With the improvement of international openness, the Chinese Etiquette Gang still encountered some problems in reception etiquette, so different etiquette methods were derived according to the needs of different occasions, such as government etiquette and business etiquette.

The reason for such a difference is simply a matter of "left and right ordering".

China has always had a tradition of respecting the left, but the international practice is to put the right first.

Huaxia pays attention to the convenience of the guest, and the international practice is the guest first.

Therefore, gradually, the internal reception will follow the tradition, and the external reception will be in line with international standards and at the same time blend with the Chinese tradition.

For a Chinese banquet like today, the first condition is that the person in the center of the door is the top, the first host sits in the center facing the door, the right is the first guest of honor, the left is the second guest of honor, the second host of the back door is the third guest of honor, and the left is the fourth guest of honor. Therefore, the seating order of the Chinese-style business round table banquet is very different from the host's back door and the guest's face door during business negotiations, and it is also different from the pure Chinese-style round table banquet, where the host is the first guest of honor on the left and the second guest of honor on the right.

The advantage of having a set etiquette is that even if the host and guest do not know everything, they can still know the priorities of the other person from the seating order.

Of course, a banquet must be inseparable from drinking, so don't think that the host is so good.

The first master can not be good at drinking, but the second master must be a person who can drink well, sitting in the position with his back to the door, and taking on the task of specific entertainment, which is why Ling Kejian sits opposite Baiyan and Ni Ruihua sits opposite Cheng Lan.

Meng Jinxing, Yu Manwa, and Fang Tianyue sat at the table where Cheng Lan sat on the first main seat, and the four guests were the business representatives of EG Huaxia District.

Weng Canhui sat at a table in Baiyan, and the dazzling pair of men and women sat on both sides of Baiyan, as the man's first guest of honor, Meng Jinxing and the others could identify this person's identity without being introduced by others.

Bai Yan made a toast and introduced the two guest of honor around him, Zhang Guanglie, President of EG Group Huaxia Region, and Huang Ying, General Manager of Investment Department.

Hearing the name of the woman in purple, Meng Jinxing couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and sure enough, she was as good as her name.

After drinking the opening wine, the dinner officially opened, and after Bai Yan took the initiative to greet the two guest of honor, the task on the field was basically handed over to Ling Kejian.

Among the representatives of the EG, except for the two guest of honor, the remaining six were actually Westerners, and the provincial reception office was very thoughtful, and there were not only chopsticks but also knives and forks on the table.

The most unexpected thing is that the dishes of the night, there are tofu, tiger pepper, vermicelli fried minced meat and other dishes on the table, when Meng Jinxing and others deeply understand the thrift of Governor Bai, several foreign friends are full of praise for these dishes.

From this, Meng Jinxing also realized the difference in thinking between the East and the West in terms of food culture, not that the delicacies of the mountains and seas must be polite hospitality, but that it is in line with the god of hospitality to do what they like.

Compared with Bai Yan's main table, Meng Jinxing's atmosphere at their table is relatively relaxed, this is not because Cheng Lan has no shelf, on the contrary, the female hall director has a very large shelf, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed because Ni Ruihua, Yu Manwa, and Fang Tianyue are all engaged in investment promotion, and the atmosphere of the active wine table is a strong hand, and Meng Jinxing is also a person who has engaged in investment promotion, plus the wine style is good, so naturally it will not be cold.

However, unlike the usual grassroots drinking and eating, sitting and drinking with so many officials, Meng Jinxing and their grassroots cadres did not dare to be presumptuous, enliven the atmosphere or anything, or look at Ni Ruihua's eyes, no one would be stupid enough to offend other accompanying officials for no reason on such an occasion.

Weng Canhui, who was sitting at the table in Baiyan, had no ordinary domineering spirit at this time, and from time to time under the gestures of Ling Kejian and Tao Jun, he humbly raised his glass to toast.

Looking at the mayor, who usually drinks and tastes the same thing, pouring a glass of white wine into his mouth without any temper at this time, Meng Jinxing sighed that status can really make people so involuntarily.

The whole dinner was not very long, about an hour or so, and it ended as the guests of honor at the main table got up.

Coming out of the banquet hall, a comrade from the provincial office ran over to stop Meng Jinxing, saying that President Zhang wanted to see him, and Governor Bai asked him to go to the narrative hall to sit together.

Yu Manwa and Fang Tianyue's eyes showed envy at the same time, but unlike Fang Tianyue's silence, Yu Manwa patted Meng Jinxing's back very happily, and said loudly with the smell of wine: "Go quickly, don't let the leaders and guests wait." ”

Meng Jinxing waved his hand at Yu and Fang, and followed the comrades in the office to the narrative hall quickly.

Meng Jinxing thought that the leaders of the province, Weng Canhui, and the members of the EG delegation were all in the narrative hall, but when he entered the door, he found that only Zhang Guanglie and Bai Yan were present.

The first time he met Bai Yan face to face, just like the first time he faced Luo Min, Meng Jinxing's heart beat fast, there are so many grassroots cadres in the province, and few section-level cadres can directly face the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor in his life, he can be fortunate to meet not only the secretary of the provincial party committee, but also the governor in just one month, which is definitely an inspiring event that will make him unforgettable for a long time to come.

Zhang Guanglie stood up when he saw Meng Jinxing, and said to Bai Yan with a smile: "Governor Bai, don't ask, this must be Xiao Meng!" ”

Bai Yan smiled and said, "It's also the first time I've seen this young man, but he is indeed very similar to Meng Qingping when he was young. ”

Meng Jinxing's heart "suddenly", as if he missed a beat, Bai Yan actually remembered his father's name, which shows that his father's impression on Bai Yan is quite deep.

He walked up to Bai Yan and Zhang Guanglie, and bent down politely, "Governor Bai, President Zhang!" ”

Zhang Guanglie shook hands with Meng Jinxing, took his hand and said, "I think Xiao Meng is more like his mother Yunyi!" Xiao Meng, have you ever heard your mother mention me? ”

Meng Jinxing was a little embarrassed, he had never heard his parents mention Zhang Guanglie since he was a child, if he told the truth, he could feel it from Zhang Guanglie's expectant gaze that the other party would definitely be hit.

Thinking of the reason why he was summoned this time, he still chose a lie," I mentioned occasionally. ”

Zhang Guanglie's pupils immediately bloomed, "I didn't expect Yunyi to mention me to you, I am so happy!" ”

Meng Jinxing smiled and sat down with Bai Yan and Zhang Guanglie.

During the short meeting time, Zhang Guanglie kept reminiscing about his college days, mentioning many aspects of Hua Yunyi that Meng Jinxing did not know, and Meng Jinxing suddenly realized that this president of EG should be a suitor of his mother's college days, and out of the affection of father and son, he unconsciously became vigilant.

At the same time, as a traditional Chinese, Meng Jinxing felt that Zhang Guanglie had lived abroad for a long time, and his words and deeds had strong Western habits, and he pursued zìyou consciousness more than paying attention to the feelings of others, so much so that he would put aside the governor of a province and talk about the old times in front of him, the younger person he met for the first time.

Looking for a pause between Zhang Guanglie, Meng Jinxing interjected at the right time: "Mother has never mentioned these things to our children. The Uncle Zhang in her mouth, like many of her college classmates, is part of the memory of her student days. I hope that a group of your classmates will have the opportunity to reunite, and when the time comes, Uncle Zhang can talk about his classmates with more classmates. If he could, I think the governor would be happy to make arrangements for Uncle Zhang in this regard. ”

Meng Jinxing turned his face to Bai Yan, a little apprehensive in his heart, I wonder if Bai Yan would think that his words were a bit self-assertive?

Bai Yan didn't speak immediately, but because of his words, Zhang Guanglie woke up from his memories and looked at Bai Yan with a little apology, "I'm really sorry, Governor Bai!" I'm patronizing and reminiscing about the past, so please forgive me! ”

Bai Yan glanced at Meng Jinxing, smiled at Zhang Guanglie with understanding, and opened his mouth calmly.
