Chen Dalong saw that Niu Dagen's expression was unnatural, and sat in the middle of the round and said: "The two of you should drink and sit down and drink slowly, don't be like a penalty stand, it's an eyesore to see." ”

Director Yu and Yu Dandan on the side heard this, and the hand that was eating the vegetables couldn't help but shake with laughter, and Wang Jiaxin also leaned his neck and finished drinking, sat down with his buttocks, and teased at Chen Dalong:

"Secretary Chen's vision is terrible now, it's just that Liu Guoan is in the way, and by the way, even Deputy Mayor Niu can't look at it? Then you still invite people to dinner? ”

Chen Dalong knew that Wang Jiaxin wanted to say a few jokes to adjust the atmosphere, so that Niu Dagen didn't have to be so nervous, but he was a hairy young man in the end, although he had seen a lot of big scenes, he always had little actual combat experience at the wine table, and this was more like provoking a war in his ears.

Chen Dalong pretended not to hear Wang Jiaxin's words, turned his face to Niu Dagen and said seriously:

"Vice Mayor Niu, there are some big projects in our city in the future, you can't hide your secrets, our Mr. Wang's construction company is very strong in terms of scale and strength, and I will ask Vice Mayor Niu to take care of it in the future."

Chen Dalong made it clear in front of Wang Jiaxin that he was helping him pull the project, can Niu Dagen not know?

Niu Dagen is also a smart person, of course he knows what kind of words to say in this situation to please Wang Jiaxin, and immediately said:

"Mr. Wang, please rest assured, as long as you and your sister's company have a place in need in the future, we will provide a full range of services, and it will definitely be given priority under the same conditions."

Speaking of which, the people at the table were actually waiting for Niu Dagen's words, and now they finally got their wish and heard Niu Dagen's answer so satisfying, Chen Dalongtou stood up with a smile and suggested that a table of people raise a glass to celebrate!

What to celebrate? Everyone at the table knows that after tonight's dinner, there will be absolutely no one else to interfere in the big local projects in Pu'an City!

The important decision is in the box! Absolutely incisive!

In the past two years, senior leaders have been aware of the phenomenon of "box officialdom" and have repeatedly ordered officials to eat and drink from top to bottom, especially for eating and drinking at public expense.

But does it work?

Wang Jingbo, deputy dean of the Government Research Institute for the Rule of Law at China University of Political Science and Law, believes that:

"The reason why the problem of official reception has become a stubborn problem is to a large extent because eating and drinking at public expense has become a part of China's administrative culture at present, and in the face of this deep-rooted administrative culture, it is almost impossible to get rid of it with a few documents."

The next afternoon, Chen Dalong was reading documents in his office when he received a call from his old friend, Vice Mayor Hong of Huzhou City, who told him on the phone, "I have come to Pu'an because of a little personal matter, and I hope to have time to meet tonight." ”

Chen Dalong immediately looked at the work arrangements for the day at hand, and there were two socials to go or not to go in the evening, so he quickly made a decision in his mind, and readily agreed to Vice Mayor Hong, and made an appointment at 7 o'clock in the evening at the "Mengxi Tea Bar" in Pu'an City.

Friends are still good old.

Although Vice Mayor Hong has been transferred out of Pu'an City for more than half a year, the connection between him and Chen Dalong has never been broken, and he will take the initiative to call Chen Dalong to chat with him if he has nothing to do.

To put it bluntly, the two are good brothers who have experienced a lot of things together, and the money between each other is hard to find, so naturally they will not be like some people in the officialdom.

Mengxi Tea Bar is a relatively distinctive tea bar in the local area, and the neon outside the door may not be as dazzling as other shops from the outside, but as soon as you enter the glass door of the tea bar, you can feel the good intentions of the tea bar owner to run the shop.

Opening a tea bar on a street where every inch of land is at a premium, should save every square area for running a business, but the owner of Mengxi Tea Bar has extended a large area inside the entrance to place all kinds of handmade Xun and other handicrafts.

Some people say that the clay sculpture is the spirit of the clay, and this is indeed true.

When the guests who pushed the door into the store looked at the rows of xun of different shapes and sizes placed under the elegant light, the rows of perforated xun emitted a mysterious light, which suddenly made people feel like they had traveled to another transcendent and quiet space.

When Chen Dalong pushed the door on time and entered the tea bar, he was attracted by the rows of wonderful and unique handicrafts as soon as he entered the door.

"Sir, please."

Chen Dalong hurriedly said:

"I made an appointment with a friend."

Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Vice Mayor Hong waving to him vigorously in a corner of the tea bar, he smiled politely at the waiter, turned around and walked over to the place where Vice Mayor Hong was sitting.

The sofas in the tea bar are all high-backed, if Vice Mayor Hong didn't stand up just now, even if he walked closer, it would be difficult to see who was sitting behind the sofa, Chen Dalong strode forward, and walked to the opposite position of Vice Mayor Hong and was just about to sit down but was stunned!

Vice Mayor Hong isn't sitting there alone? There is a familiar face next to him, it is actually Zhou Huarui?

On such an occasion, Chen Dalong, who had not had any mental preparation in advance, saw Zhou Huarui, and suddenly felt a wave of serious disgust and dissatisfaction with his old friend Vice Mayor Hong.

He said to himself, "What is this guy doing?" Tea with a brother and a woman? If you bring other women, it's fine, but it's Zhou Huarui? At the beginning, for the land of the commercial club, Zhou Huarui was blatantly against himself, and the two had already taken over Liangzi, didn't he deliberately block himself by bringing her over? ”

Vice Mayor Hong saw that Chen Dalong's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly explained with a smile on his face:

"Brother and brother, you listen to me, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, but for the sake of my face, you don't remember the villain, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, don't worry about it with Mr. Zhou.

Today, Mr. Zhou specially wanted to come over to express his gratitude to you, if it wasn't for your brother's help in the last incident, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou would still be in prison and suffering. ”

What Vice Mayor Hong said was sincere, but Chen Dalong turned a deaf ear, and his stomach was still full of joy.

It's just that everyone else has already come, and it's too late to regret it, so he silently picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip casually, but the corner of his eye looked away, and his expression was ready to leave in minutes.

Zhou Huarui, who was sitting next to Vice Mayor Hong, looked much older than half a year ago, although she was still dressed extravagantly, and her face was covered up by grease and powder, but she couldn't hide her spirit and spirit that had been greatly damaged and lost by what had happened before.

Zhou Huarui was originally a good person, and today Vice Mayor Hong took the initiative to ask Chen Dalong to meet because she was behind her back.

Although she did have a deep slander against Chen Dalong in her heart before, but later, Chen Dalong took great pains to get her out of the detention center for the sake of Vice Mayor Hong's face, and her opinion on Chen Dalong was half less.

In the past six months, she has regained her business under the care of Vice Mayor Hong, but the local economic development of Huzhou is not the same as that of Pu'an City, not to mention that she is thinking about revenge on Jiang Haoyang.

The smart woman thought about it for a long time, and felt that whether it was reviving her business or taking revenge on Jiang Haoyang, it was far from enough to rely on Vice Mayor Hong's help.

She asked Vice Mayor Hong more than once to arrange for her to meet Chen Dalong, and the first few times Vice Mayor Hong felt that this suggestion was inappropriate and resolutely refused, but Vice Mayor Hong's ears were a little soft, and the woman chattered a lot, so he gradually relented and agreed.

Zhou Huarui saw through Chen Da Laoming's disgust and vigilance against himself in his heart, and hurriedly took the initiative to pour out his heart and lungs at him:

"Secretary Chen, I heard Vice Mayor Hong say that last time, thanks to your lordship who let me go a lot, I will definitely remember your kindness to me Zhou Huarui."

In just a few seconds, Chen Dalong was already spinning in his mind, why did Vice Mayor Hong suddenly come to Pu'an City to find himself? The eight achievements are to untie the knot between himself and Zhou Huarui.

If you think about it from the perspective of Vice Mayor Hong, it is normal for him to have this kind of thought, on the one hand, he is a good brother who has a heart-to-heart with him, and on the other hand, he is an old friend who has broken ties with himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Dalong sat in the right position slightly, he wanted to see, what was Zhou Huarui's intention to use Vice Mayor Hong to lure himself to the tea bar today?

In Chen Dalong's eyes, the "Iron Lady" Zhou Huarui has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, even if Vice Mayor Hong is greedy for women and is played with by her, he will never eat her set.

Vice Mayor Hong saw that Chen Dalong's face had improved slightly, and hurriedly said to him in a flattering tone:

"Secretary Chen, don't think about it, I know Mr. Zhou, she may be resolute when she does business, but she is definitely a woman who values love and righteousness. You are my good brother, she is my woman, I hope you take the opportunity today to open all the knots in your hearts, and let all the unpleasantness of the past pass, okay? ”

Vice Mayor Hong's wish is good, but it is difficult to judge how much weight his words have in the hearts of Chen Dalong and Zhou Huarui.

Zhou Huarui sat quietly and listened to Vice Mayor Hong's opening remarks clarifying his position, and then took his words and explained to Chen Dalong:

"Secretary Chen, please believe in my sincerity, I came here today to ask for your help, I guess you will have something to worry about in my heart, so I ask Vice Mayor Hong to accompany me."

Vice Mayor Hong nodded cooperatively:

"That's true."

Chen Dalong looked at the two people in front of him singing and harmonizing, but it didn't look like acting, and he didn't have a good temperament:

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Zhou is so open and honest, then I will have something to say."

"Speak, please."

Zhou Huarui saw that Chen Dalong finally spoke, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground, she was worried that according to the temper of the Tyrannosaurus rex, she would not be unhappy and leave, then her hard work would be in vain.
