In this way, calling Wu Daguang and others to him is equivalent to not even seeing the leader's face, so what else can you talk about performing in front of the leader and impressing the leader?

Hu Yaping felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't show any dissatisfaction, so he could only say: "You are busy, I will definitely go over later." ”

Chang Chongde nodded at him, passed by Hu Yaping, and walked upstairs quickly.

In the private room upstairs, several people invited by Chang Chongde had already gathered together, and when they saw Chen Dalong coming in, they joked one by one, "Since Chen Dalong became the secretary of the district party committee, I have rarely seen him come to the provincial capital, and I guess I am worried that these brothers will come to him for wine." ”

There were also two directors during the banquet, both of whom had often met before, and this time Chang Chongde personally invited these people to sit together, and everyone knew in their hearts that no matter how high or low their positions were, to put it bluntly, they all relied on Chang Chongde under the big tree, that is, their own people.

Chen Dalong had the lowest position, and he was ridiculed by a few people but kept silent, and when everyone talked about drinking, he said, "Although I am a poor place and the conditions are a little poorer, if you want to talk about drinking, you have to go to my place to drink." ”

Everyone laughed in an uproar, "What country are you talking about?" Why does it have to go to you when it comes to drinking? ”

Chen Dalong explained in a serious tone, let's talk about it, what are the four famous wines in the province?

After everyone said it one by one, Chen Dalong said, "The origin of these four famous wines is Puhe District, Pu'an City, if it weren't for someone to take the recipes of these wines to other places later, where would there be the four famous wines now?"

Besides, everyone knows that the most important thing for good sake is the water used for blending, and the mountain spring water in our Urawa Ward is the best water for mixing, and now, if those wineries want to make the best sake, they have to get water from our Urawa Ward. ”

Chen Dalong's words, everyone stared at each other, and they couldn't know which sentence he said was true and which one was false?

Someone said, "Secretary Chen, don't blow the cowhide too much, even the four major wineries must take water from your Urawa District, that also proves that the water you have there is good, and people can use the water in your area when making wine, but where there is good water, it doesn't mean that there is good wine?" You say, don't you? Why do you say that if you want to drink good alcohol, you must go to your Urawa area? ”

Chen Dalong faced everyone's questioning, laughed and said, "The crux of the problem is here, is the water in our Urawa District used by anyone who wants to use it?" If you don't give me the best wine, do you think our water will be used by their distillery? ”

When everyone heard this, they woke up to the fact that Urawa District is a typical "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water", relying on the geographical advantage to forcibly occupy other people's good wine, and still show off here.

Everyone was laughing "haha", and Chang Chongde pushed the door in.

As soon as the leader entered the door, everyone hurriedly got up to greet each other, Chang Chongde greeted everyone with a smile and said: "Sit down, I heard you laughing in the private room from afar, what is so funny?" ”

Someone accosted and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Secretary Chen just performed a funny show, so everyone was happy." ”

Chang Chongde didn't know what to do, and couldn't help but ask in a strange tone, "What?" Secretary Chen still has this ability? How did I not know? ”

Chen Dalong hurriedly defended and said, "Old leader, don't listen to their nonsense, where can I play any funny tricks, they are looking at me in vain?" ”

Chang Chongde stretched out his hand and waved his hand to signal the waiter to serve wine and prepare for the feast, while saying in a half-true tone to everyone present:

"Although our Xiao Chen is young and has a low position, he really has nothing to say about his political quality, don't rely on your old qualifications to bully young people while I am away."

A certain hall chief sitting next to Chen Dalong stretched out his hand and poked Chen Dalong's arm and said, "How come? The leader is so partial to Secretary Chen, even if we want to bully, we don't have the guts. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

Some things in officialdom are indeed very strange, to say that usually in front of everyone, the leader is the leader, the subordinate is the subordinate, the level is a little different, and the order arrangement on various occasions is exquisite, but once you leave the office, leave some formal occasions, everyone sits on the wine table, many leaders are actually more willing to play the role of the leading brother, and the bottom group of brothers is not divided into ranks, and they are looking for fun, as long as they support him wholeheartedly.

When the so-called insiders gather together, it can actually temporarily disrupt the dignity brought by a certain level, but when they laugh, everyone has their own sense of proportion.

The host's attitude is more enthusiastic, and the people below give face, Chang Chongde and a group of people drink together, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

When the wine passed three rounds, someone stood at the door and knocked on the door, Chang Chongde knew that it must be Hu Yaping who came to toast, so he motioned to the waiter to open the door of the private room.

Sure enough, Hu Yaping stood at the door with a wine glass with a smile on his face, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "I know that the leader is drinking here, hurry up and come over to toast two glasses." ”

Chang Chongde said with a smile: "Chairman Hu is giving me advice, speaking of which, we are all old alumni, we have known each other for so many years, when have I paid attention to any rules with you, since you are here, sit down quickly and have a few more drinks with everyone." ”

As soon as Chang Chongde's words fell, someone immediately vacated his position and gave up his seat, and someone asked the waiter to take out an extra set of wine utensils and arrange Hu Yaping to sit next to Chang Chongde.

Hu Yaping looked at the wine table, several hall directors were familiar faces, and Chen Dalong was actually sitting among several people? He couldn't help but be stunned, he immediately realized Chang Chongde's purpose of inviting him over for a drink or two tonight, and dared to love him This is to tell himself openly and secretly that Chen Dalong has a deep connection and friendship with him.

Hu Yaping secretly screamed "bitter" in his heart, originally he was expecting that after walking around Chang Chongde's side, he would invite Chang Chongde to sit in his private room, even if it was for a minute, it could be regarded as earning face in front of a group of old subordinates. But in this situation, it is clear that he will mistake the leader's meaning, and the leader didn't expect to go over at all, but asked him to sit here and drink two glasses with several other directors, including Chen Dalong.

Chen Dalong saw Hu Yaping coming in halfway, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, since Chang Chongde said that Hu Yaping and him were old alumni, it was normal for the two to have dealings, so he nodded and smiled at Hu Yaping, which was regarded as a greeting.

At Chang Chongde's suggestion, after Hu Yaping drank with several directors present, Chang Chongde specially asked Chen Dalong to stand up and toast Hu Yaping.

Chang Chongde said: "When Chairman Hu was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Pu'an City, he also took a lot of care of Xiao Chen. ”

Chen Dalong hurriedly nodded and said:

"That's, that's, the secretary general just doesn't say it, I also understand these truths in my heart, besides, when Chairman Hu was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Pu'an City, he always took a lot of care of me, and the grace of dripping water was reciprocated, where can I do things that have no conscience?"

Chang Chongde's words, Chen Dalong immediately realized Chang Chongde's painstaking efforts to invite himself to dinner tonight, on the surface, it was lively, but in fact, it had nothing to do with him, until Hu Yaping came in, Chen Dalong understood in his heart, and Hu Yaping and Chang Chongde were also connected.

Chang Chongde must have considered that everyone is a person on the same line, so he looked for an opportunity to meet and said it openly. In front of Chang Chongde, Hu Yaping and Chen Dalong toasted each other amicably, and after drinking three glasses each, they politely pushed each other to sit down.

Hu Yaping looked at Chang Chongde's tone of speaking to Chen Dalong, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, he didn't expect that Chen Dalong's hand had actually stretched out to such a point? His last trump card has long been one of the hole cards of others, and this game has been doomed to be at a disadvantage from the beginning.

In this case, where can Chang Chongde be expected to stand on Wu Daguang and his own position to help deal with Chen Dalong, Chang Chongde is clearly telling everyone today that he is going to be a peacemaker when he sets up this banquet, and if anyone continues to fight, it will not give him Chang Chongde's face.

Hu Yaping never expected such a situation at the moment, and it was only now that he understood why Chen Dalong had no fear in doing things underneath? With a big tree like Chang Chongde covered, the people below, even if they are the current secretary of the Pu'an Municipal Party Committee, Liu Guoan, can they help him? What's more, it's an old secretary who has become angry?

Chang Chongde saw a little loneliness on Hu Yaping's face, and motioned to the two directors to toast Hu Yaping with his eyes, and the two directors got up and politely poured wine and toasted Chairman Hu personally, after all, he is the leader of the provincial CPPCC, although it is an idle position, there is still a level, so the two of them toast to the leader, and this wine is justifiable to drink.

After the two directors toasted, Chang Chongde personally accompanied Hu Yaping to drink two glasses before he said with a pun on Chen Dalong:

"Xiao Chen, Chairman Hu used to be the old secretary of your Pu'an City, and he is familiar with the work of Pu'an City, if you don't understand anything, you can ask the old leader for advice, understand?"

Chen Dalong hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Chang Chongde turned his face to Hu Yaping and said: "Chairman Hu, the leading cadres of our age have worked longer hours and have more work experience than these young people. ”
