This is one of the reasons why everyone in officialdom has squeezed their heads to be promoted, people who mix in officialdom, no matter how old you are, how strong or weak your ability is, as long as you are an official, you have the absolute right to speak, including at the wine table.

Since the leader spoke, everyone did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, not only could not show some regrets in their hearts, but also had to send the leader out of the door with a smile on their faces.

From the perspective of Director Yi of the Finance Bureau, he invited Vice Mayor Chen to dinner many times before, and it was already enough for him to be able to sit for a few minutes today, so although Vice Mayor Chen left the table early, he was relieved.

Chen Dalong sat down in the private room for less than 20 minutes and left immediately, but the reason for his departure was not casual nonsense, but it was true, in addition to Director Yi inviting him to dinner tonight, an old acquaintance also invited him.

This person is Liu Jiahui, the current deputy county magistrate of Pushui County.

Liu Jiahui's invitation to Vice Mayor Chen tonight was entirely based on the advice of Wang Dapeng, the magistrate of Pushui County, who told him, "Recently, it is imperative for the leading bodies of the municipal party committee and government to adjust the leading bodies of districts and counties. ”

Liu Jiahui originally obeyed Wang Dapeng's words, not to mention that this time Wang Dapeng took the initiative to make suggestions for his progress, and immediately arranged such a banquet, and the most important person at tonight's banquet was naturally Chen Dalong, who had just been promoted to the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee of the Pu'an Municipal Party Committee.

When Chen Dalong received an invitation call from Liu Jiahui in person, he understood Liu Jiahui's intentions.

He pondered, what Liu Jiahui planned in his heart coincided with some thoughts in his heart anyway, so why did he bother to refuse? So I readily agreed to go to the appointment tonight.

The Biluting Hotel on the road in front of the Pu'an Municipal Government is still brightly lit in the Octagonal Palace, and the sound of silk and bamboo string music is in the ears, and Chen Dalong feels an inexplicable comfort as soon as he walks into the hotel door.

It's good that friends are still old!

When Chen Dalong stepped into the door of the hotel with both feet, he couldn't help but think of Wang Dapeng's many past with himself over the years.

In the past, when they were in the National Development and Reform Commission, the two fought to the death; Later, Wang Dapeng went to Pushui County to work with his team, and instantly changed from an opponent to a helper; And now, because of Zhou Wu, Wang Dapeng has become his own person in the circle.

"Where don't we meet in life!" Chen Dalong sighed in his heart.

The advantage of old friends is that they know each other better, such as the choice of hotel where Liu Jiahui invited guests tonight, even if Chen Dalong didn't ask, he knew that it must be Wang Dapeng's idea.

This kid knows his aesthetic preferences too well, and he knows that those hotels with modern and resplendent decorations are not as eye-catching to him as this kind of hotel with a clean and elegant decoration style, so he will suggest that Liu Jiahui invite himself to eat here.

Chen Dalong stepped on the red wooden floor and went upstairs, and before he could go up a few stairs, Wang Dapeng's big cake face and smile came out of the crack in the door of the private room upstairs, and when he saw him going upstairs, he quickly opened the door and rubbed his hands to greet him enthusiastically.

As soon as Wang Dapeng went out, he followed another head out of the private room door upstairs, and greeted Chen Dalong with a smile on his face, "Vice Mayor Chen, please please!" "This person is Liu Jiahui.

After the three of them met and greeted each other politely, after entering the house and sitting down according to seniority, Wang Dapeng's voice rang out:

"Deputy County Magistrate Liu, Vice Mayor Chen has given you enough face today, and people have taken the time to drink your meal, you must accompany our Vice Mayor Chen tonight."

"Definitely, definitely!" Liu Jiahui was talking in his mouth, bending over nearly ninety degrees like cooked dried shrimp, and respectfully holding the wine glass with both hands to toast Chen Dalong.

There is a saying in officialdom, "Leading cadres don't drink, and they don't have any friends; Middle-level cadres don't drink alcohol and don't have any information at all; Grassroots cadres don't drink, and there is no hope at all."

For Liu Jiahui, he regards tonight's dinner as the cornerstone of promotion hope, counting on getting closer to the leaders through tonight's dinner, and hoping to get a piece of the pie in the adjustment process of the district and county leadership groups at the end of this year.

Knowing that Chen Dalong is so quiet, there are no outsiders in the private room, Liu Jiahui enthusiastically took the initiative to toast, Chen Dalong gave him face, Liu Jiahui raised his neck to drink a fine light, he picked up the wine glass and moistened his lips and throat.

Wang Dapeng didn't think it was a big deal to watch the play anyway, and while accompanying Chen Dalong to brag, he teased Liu Jiahui on the side:

"People who know, say that you invited Vice Mayor Chen to drink tonight, I don't know, I think you are busy pouring yourself a drink? Look at what you've drunk yourself, but Vice Mayor Chen hasn't made much movement here. ”

When Liu Jiahui heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help but be stunned.

At first, at the beginning of the banquet, he immediately took the initiative to toast Vice Mayor Chen, but Secretary Wang Dapeng said, "Everyone is a good brother, and on an occasion like tonight, if Vice Mayor Chen is drunk, it is always bad." ”

Later, according to the requirements of Secretary Wang Dapeng, Chen Dalong had a glass of wine, and Liu Jiahui's ratio of four glasses of wine has been drunk until now, and sometimes even Chen Dalong only needs to hold up the cup a little to signal, Liu Jiahui has to drink all four glasses of wine.

Now that he has drunk this, Wang Dapeng has said such a thing?

This made Liu Jiahui feel a little confused, and his slightly drunken eyes looked directly at Wang Dapeng, and his eyes were clearly asking, "County Magistrate Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Looking at Liu Jiahui's stunned appearance, Wang Dapeng and Chen Dalong both laughed "haha", Liu Jiahui realized in his heart that Secretary Wang Dapeng deliberately teased himself, just to make the leader laugh.

Liu Jiahui understood Wang Dapeng's intention to please the leader, so he simply ignored it, picked up the wine bottle and walked to Chen Dalong's side and said:

"Vice Mayor Chen, if you want to say that among the leading cadres of Pu'an City, the person I admire the most is you, Vice Mayor Chen, it's rare to invite you to have a drink today, I must accompany you, in this way, I will kill you, you are free!"

Liu Jiahui is really drunk, people who are really drunk always feel that they are not drunk, only people who are still sober will tell others at the wine table that they are drunk.

Liu Jiahui was talking in his mouth, picked up a bottle of wine, pointed the bottle at his mouth, and was about to start gurgling, and everyone at the wine table was stunned by Liu Jiahui's drinking method!

This guy didn't want to die for promotion, right? If this bottle of wine goes down, people are not allowed to pour it on the spot?

Secretary Wang Dapeng saw that he was stunned and played treasure again, and quickly reached out to take the wine bottle and said:

"You are also the person who has been the deputy county magistrate for all these years, if you want to make progress, you first have to tell the truth to the leader, just drink alcohol, who knows why you drink?"

Liu Jiahui was not polite, and said with a smile at Chen Dalong:

"I know Vice Mayor Chen's temper best, as long as he accompanies the wine well, it is naturally easy to talk about promotion."

Chen Dalong said slowly: "That's not likely. ”

Liu Jiahui's face changed suddenly, and he said to Chen Dalong in a somewhat nervous tone:

"Vice Mayor Chen, I didn't know what you would do with you before, since Wang Dapeng arrived in Pushui, I have followed you, this deputy county magistrate has been a county magistrate for so long, finally this time I have a chance, you must help me." Wang Dapeng has explained, I have accompanied Vice Mayor Chen's wine tonight, even if it is a show, I have drunk it like this, don't scare me. ”

As soon as Liu Jiahui's words fell, everyone at the wine table burst into laughter.

This guy talks so unabashedly? Even what Wang Dapeng had explained to him before was said in public, but it was really too upright!

Wang Dapeng laughed, and at the same time he was a little angry and handed over the bottle of wine to Liu Jiahui, and said angrily:

"Deputy County Magistrate Liu, you better dry this bottle of wine before you speak."

"Did you really do it?"

When Liu Jiahui asked, his two eyes were fixed on Chen Dalong's face.

Looking at Chen Dalong nodding gently, Liu Jiahui suddenly tilted his neck as if he had received the highest instructions, and really dried up a bottle of wine, but after drinking the wine, the person really fell to the ground!

For thousands of years, some people regard wine as a blessing, and it is not possible to live without wine for a day; Some people regard alcohol as a curse and would rather stay away from it for the rest of their lives.

People who love wine praise it very much, compare it to "jade liquid" and "nectar", and call it "Taiping Gentleman" and "Tianlu Doctor", which should not be separated from it; People who are bad drinkers believe that wine is a murderous thing that causes illness and bad behavior, and indiscriminate belief hurts the body, and even says that the appearance of "the king of the dead country and the son of the ruined family" is all related to wine, which can be described as "deeply hated".

For the same kind of food, the disparity between love and dislike is stark, which is really rare! Strictly speaking, there is no merit or demerit in the wine itself, and it all depends on how the drinker grasps it.

As Sima Qian said in the "Historical Records": "Wine is chaotic, happiness is sad, and everything is true."

After Liu Jiahui was drunk, Wang Dapeng and Chen Dalong calmly pushed the cup and changed the cup to drink a few glasses, and each ordered their favorite staple food before coming out of the hotel.

Before parting, Wang Dapeng said to Chen Dalong in a sincere tone:

"Vice Mayor Chen, you know Liu Jiahui's temperament best, he used to be in the same group as Jia Da, but since I arrived in Pushui, he has followed me, he is actually a person who has always wanted to be promoted, although he is straightforward, he is very righteous towards his brother."

Chen Dalong understood that Wang Dapeng's meaning was to help Liu Jiahui make it clear, and he wanted to ask himself to help Liu Jiahui, and smiled at Wang Dapeng:

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, but if Liu Jiahui wants to be promoted smoothly, Jia Dada can't pull out this nail. After all, if he wants to be promoted, Jia Dacheng will definitely not be happy in his heart, and if Jia Dada uses a little effort in Secretary Liu Guoan, we will be busy in vain. ”
