As soon as they saw Lu Chen coming, several classmates who knew the details quickly got up and stepped forward to say hello, Lu Chen shook hands, or patted his shoulders, or nodded in response to them, this situation surprised other students, surprised that Lu Chen's popularity was so good, no wonder Cheng Qijiang They just said that they must wait until Lu Chen arrives to start the banquet.

Although everyone is a classmate, and classmates can interact with each other "innocently", but the students who have been in the society for several years are aware of the importance of small groups and the huge role they can play.

This situation suddenly made the "hungry and panicked" classmates worried, worried that their very impolite behavior just now made Cheng Qijiang and them dissatisfied, and then led other students to isolate them, which was quite embarrassing, so they were very embarrassed to leave the table and stand aside and look very uneasy.

Of course, Lu Chen saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then asked Cheng Qijiang: "Qijiang, have all the people arrived?" ”

Cheng Qijiang looked around for a while and said, "Brother Lu, only Shi Lin and Deng Fangzhi, who work in the urban area, have not yet come, and when I informed them a few years ago, they said that they would definitely come." ”

Although Shi Lin was injured, in Lu Chen's opinion, the injury was not very serious, after two days of treatment, he should have recovered almost, at most, there would be some scars on the surface of his body, if he had the heart to come to the class reunion, he should have rushed over, so he asked Cheng Qijiang to call him to ask.

At this moment, one of the "hungry" classmates said: "Qijiang, no need to call, Shi Lin was injured on Chinese New Year's Eve and is still hospitalized." ”

The classmates were in an uproar and asked him what was going on, the classmate only said a rough idea, and he couldn't tell the specific situation, as the president of the classmates' association, Cheng Qijiang immediately said: "Then we have to go to the hospital to visit him." ”

"Qijiang, you can call and ask about the situation first." It was Zuo Xiaojia who spoke.

Cheng Qijiang said "um" and then took out his mobile phone to dial, and after connecting, he talked to Shi Lin for a minute, hung up the phone and said to his classmates: "Don't worry, Shi Lin is not seriously injured, he was discharged from the hospital this morning, and now he is on the way with Deng Fangzhi, and he will be there in about 20 minutes." ”

"Then wait until they come." Lu Chen said that Cheng Qijiang said yes, so the classmates continued to sit and chat.

Cheng Qijiang's respectful performance towards Lu Chen surprised and curious the students who didn't know it, and someone quietly asked Cheng Qijiang what Lu Chen was doing now, and after learning that he was only a deputy squadron leader at the deputy unit level of the county criminal investigation brigade, some of these students were confused, and some suddenly rose to a sense of superiority.

was stunned, because they couldn't understand how Lu Chen, a small civil servant, could make Cheng Qijiang, a big boss, and several other classmates who were also civil servants so respectful?

The sense of superiority is because they also work in the government department and the administrative level is higher than Lu Chen, and they are already stock-level cadres, and there are two such students among the "hungry and panicked" students, and it is precisely because of the sense of superiority that they are no longer nervous, and they walked to the middle of the other students and sat down and began to talk.

I only listened to the two of them talk about how well they are in the unit, which officials in the district and county have a strong relationship, when they have had dinner with which leader they have had a business trip, when a certain county leader has praised them, etc., and it seems that the two are still competing, Cheng Qijiang who watched and listened to them secretly laughed, but they did not disturb their "Yaxing".

A few minutes later, the box door was pushed open again, but it was not Shi Lin and Deng Fangzhi who appeared at the door, but a young man in his thirties who was not a classmate, and many of the classmates recognized him, he was the secretary of Li Xiangren, the new deputy county magistrate of Huashan County and director of the Public Security Bureau, surnamed Bao, and these classmates immediately got up to greet him, including Xie Changchen, one of the two classmates who talked loudly.

Although he is not a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, because he is also the director of the violent organ of the Public Security Bureau, his prestige and weight in the county are higher than those of some members of the standing committee of the county party committee.

Secretary Bao thought about the classmates and nodded, then walked quickly to Cheng Qijiang and asked, "Boss Cheng, is it your classmates' reunion today?" ”

"Yes, Secretary Bao." Cheng Qijiang responded that because of Lu Chen's relationship, Cheng Qijiang and Li Xiangren also have a lot of contact, and Li Xiangren often takes care of Cheng Qijiang, including coming to his hotel for dinner, so he is familiar with Secretary Bao, since Secretary Bao appears here, it means that Li Xiangren is also here today.

"Boss Cheng, Li County sent me to ask if Captain Lu Chen is here?" Secretary Bao said.

"It's coming." Then, Cheng Qijiang introduced Lu Chen to Secretary Bao.

Secretary Bao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Lu Team, hello, my name is Bao Mo, I am the secretary of Li County, Li County sent me to invite you to sit down, saying that I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you." ”

Lu Chen shook hands with him and said, "Secretary Bao is good, is Bureau Li also eating here?" ”

"Yes." Secretary Bao answered.

"Well, I also miss him, Secretary Bao, then I bother you to lead the way." Lu Chen nodded.

"Marine, don't bother, don't bother, you should, please." After speaking, Secretary Bao made a gesture of please, Lu Chen stepped forward, and Secretary Bao followed behind him.

As soon as Lu Chen and the two left, the classmates who didn't know how to do it looked at each other, feeling a little dazed, especially in Huashan County, especially Xie Changchen's heart was even more shocked, and then he was apprehensive, Guy said that he was so good in the county, that he was not even a fart compared to Lu Chen, and what he said was not necessarily true, or exaggerated.

After a while, the classmates finally sobered up, and then couldn't help but ask Cheng Qijiang what their Lu Chen's background was, and why the relationship with Li County was so good, Zuo Xiaojia was a few difficult to say, inconvenient to say, and looked at Cheng Qijiang together.

Cheng Qijiang smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you just say that Brother Lu works in the county public security bureau, Li County has always been the leader of Brother Lu, but later Brother Lu was seconded by the provincial department. ”

Xie Changchen swallowed his saliva and said, "Qijiang, but looking at the situation just now, Lu Chen, oh no, the relationship between Brother Lu and Li County is not like the relationship between superiors and subordinates at all, but it is very much like a friend." ”

"Well, indeed, this is mainly because Brother Lu is both capable and very good at being a person, and he handled the relationship with Li County very well when he was working in the county bureau." Cheng Qijiang said.
