"Director Chen, let me introduce to you, this is the president of Winning Entertainment, a famous director and actor, Lin Zhimo!" Yuan Delong smiled and pointed at Lin Zhimo and said to a man in his fifties beside him.

Director Chen's calm face showed a slight smile, nodded slightly at Lin Zhimo, and said lightly: "I know, Mr. Lin Zhimo's reputation in China is like thunder." ”

Hearing Director Chen's words, Lin Zhimo's heart suddenly sank, and he had a hunch that most of the meetings this time would be disappointed. However, although the eagerness in his heart gradually cooled down, he still showed a warm smile on his face: "Director Chen's words will torment me, no matter how famous I am, Director Chen, you are also in charge of our life and death." ”

Director Chen nodded arrogantly, turned his head and no longer looked at Lin Zhimo, but said to Yuan Delong: "Old Yuan, how is the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala this time?" ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Yuan Delong's eyes, but he still smiled: "Director Chen, don't worry, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with this year's Spring Festival Gala." ”

This Director Chen is the new director of the new bureau that Yuan Delong said some time ago, and he is actually the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, but no matter the director or deputy, he is always a real department-level cadre, and the most important thing is that he also supervises the subordinate film censorship team, which has a decisive role in whether or not a film can pass the censorship.

However, Yuan Delong is a cadre of CCTV, although CCTV is nominally a subordinate agency of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the director of the station is even more entitled to the title of deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. However, CCTV is also under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Propaganda Department, and has a series of extremely independent rights such as the right to review its own programs, so the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television only has such a name, but it does not have the strength to direct CCTV.

And just now Director Chen asked Yuan Delong how he prepared for the Spring Festival Gala, in fact, it can be regarded as crossing the line, which is a big taboo in officialdom. But does Director Chen, who has been an official for decades, really not know this taboo? He naturally knows that the reason why he still asks this is nothing more than to show his attitude, that is, it is impossible for Lin Zhimo's film to pass the review.

Even Lin Zhimo, a person who is not mixed with officialdom, can understand the meaning of Director Chen's words, and Yuan Delong, an old fritter, understands it thoroughly, but even if he understands. Now the two still dare not show the slightest disrespect. After all, if you have a bad relationship with Director Chen now, then in the future, unless Lin Zhimo is not in the entertainment industry, Director Chen will say a word casually, and countless people will rush to put on small shoes for Lin Zhimo.

"Director Chen, you have found time out of your busy schedule to attend this gathering. I am deeply grateful. I'll do it first for respect. Feel free to do so! Dissatisfied in his heart, Lin Zhimo can only hope that this dinner will end as soon as possible, and the way to end it as soon as possible without angering the other party is undoubtedly to pour alcohol, as long as Director Chen is drunk. Then it's all over.

Although he didn't pay attention to Lin Zhimo's toast, he still had to give some face to Yuan Delong, a CCTV veteran, so he nodded and raised his wine glass to take a sip, and drank about one-fifth.

As the saying goes, feelings are deep and boring, although this sentence is vulgar, but the truth is very clear, how much you drink when others toast you can completely reflect your attitude.

Now Director Chen just drank a little, indicating that the other party had drawn a clear line with Lin Zhimo.

Yuan Delong no longer had so much enthusiasm in his smile when he saw this, after all, he did not belong to the direct jurisdiction of Director Chen, and he Director Chen couldn't play on himself in a big prestige, but when he saw Lin Zhimo who directly drank all the wine in the cup on the side, Yuan Delong still suppressed the disbelief in his heart.

"Bureau Chen, I didn't use it to congratulate you when you took office this time, you should be punished! I'd like to toast you. Yuan Delong squeezed out a smile, raised his wine glass and said.

Director Chen smiled slightly: "Lao Yuan, you will see the outside world when you say this, you are an elder in terms of age, and you are far more than me in terms of working hours, and besides, you CCTV and our General Administration do not violate the river water, how can you respect me?" ”

Having said that, Director Chen raised his glass.

Yuan Delong touched the other party lightly, and drank all the money on his neck.

Director Chen also drank all the wine in the cup at once, and then said, "Old Yuan, I heard that you Director Li recently went down to inspect?" ”

Yuan Delong was slightly stunned, but still smiled: "Chen Ju, look at you, since we come out to drink, let's not talk about work." ”

"I can't say that, although the relationship between our two units is jurisdictional, but in fact they are brother units, I naturally have to care about your work arrangement. Tell me, what were the results of his inspection? Director Chen didn't care about Yuan Delong's opinion, waved his hand and said.

"This ......" Yuan Delong wanted not to say it, but he couldn't refute Director Chen's face, so he had to briefly describe it, and after finishing speaking, Yuan Delong wanted to pull the topic to Lin Zhimo's movie.

"Bureau Chen, I heard that the film review in our bureau has been a bit strict recently?"

"Don't mention that, don't mention that." Director Chen sandwiched a piece of fish, his eyes lit up and said, "Old Yuan, you taste this fish, it tastes very good, similar to the taste of Bauhinia Garden." ”

Yuan Delong was helpless, who said that he was asking for others now, so he had to echo two sentences.

Next, Yuan Delong tried to lead the topic to Lin Zhimo three times and twice, but in the end, Director Chen lightly transferred it to other places, and Lin Zhimo's smiling face stiffened.

What is the greatest insult to a person? Not invective, not beating, but ignorance!

The absence of the other party at all in the eyes is the biggest insult to the other party.

Now Lin Zhimo is like this, although he has always wanted to say a few words to Director Chen, but the other party has always talked to Yuan Delong on his own, and he didn't even look at Lin Zhimo.

After three glasses of wine, Director Chen covered his glass and said, "If you don't drink it, you won't drink it, you will drink more, and you will have to work in the afternoon." ”

Yuan Delong was about to persuade again, but he saw Director Chen stand up and say, "I'll go first to make it easier." ”

When Director Chen left the room, Lin Zhimo finally stopped smiling, sighed and put the chopsticks on the table. He knew that today was completely out of play.

Yuan Delong also put the wine bottle on the table and scolded: "What a thing!" ”

Although he was scolded, the result still did not change, and he said: "Zhimo, don't worry about it, since Director Chen came to the dinner today, it means that there is still room for mitigation in this matter." After a few days...... We'll be treating him to dinner in a few days. ”

Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly: "I look at the hanging...... Uncle Yuan, I have wronged you this time. ”

Lin Zhimo naturally knew that Yuan Delong was wronged today, otherwise although Director Chen's official rank was one level higher than Yuan Delong's on weekdays, Yuan Delong belonged to CCTV. You can completely ignore Director Chen's shelf. The other party can't do anything to Yuan Delong. But today, because Yuan Delong is Lin Zhimo's lobbyist, he has to put down his figure, so he also suffers a lot of anger.

Yuan Delong said unhappily: "What do you call this, do we two still need to say such things!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I was wrong. I was wrong! Lin Zhimo folded his hands and made a mistake. Then pour himself a full glass of wine and drink it directly, and look at Yuan Delong at the bottom of the glass.

Yuan Delong knew that Lin Zhimo's alcohol consumption was simply boundless, so he didn't stop it. Sandwiched a piece of meat and said: "Zhimo, hurry up and eat vegetables, if you spend money and don't eat it yourself, you will suffer!" ”

Lin Zhimo had no appetite at all now, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Yuan, how can I still eat now, I have no appetite!" ”

"You're still young! It's not worth it to be angry about this kind of thing, we can't wronged ourselves, don't we spend money to buy sin? Yuan Delong took a sip of wine and said.

Lin Zhimo thought about it, picked up the chopsticks and ate the food.

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and it seemed that Director Chen was involved, so the two opened the door and looked out.

I saw that Director Chen, who had a proud face in the room just now, was bending slightly behind a man and saying something loudly, while the man he accompanied had a faint expression and only cared about his own way. It seemed that Director Chen should have accompanied the middle-aged man downstairs, followed by several people with the same smiles on their faces.

Yuan Delong pursed his lips slightly when he saw Director Chen's appearance, but when he saw the appearance of the man in the middle, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Minister Zeng! ”

At this time, Lin Zhimo also saw the middle-aged man's face clearly, but when he saw the person clearly, his face couldn't help but become weird.

Soon, Director Chen accompanied the middle-aged man to the box where they were just now, at this time, he didn't have Lin Zhimo's existence in his eyes at all, and directly skipped him and said to Yuan Delong, who was already completely stunned: "Old Yuan, you see that Minister Zeng is here, we don't know, you have to help me persuade Minister Zeng to drink two more glasses." ”

Yuan Delong also reacted at this time, and quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Hello Minister Zeng, I am Yuan Delong of CCTV." ”

There are two possibilities for only reporting one's work unit and not reporting one's identity and position, one is that he is the number one person in charge of that unit and does not need to report it; The other is that because of his low status, it is not worth saying it.

Now Yuan Delong undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

Although Director Chen said that he wanted Yuan Delong to invite Minister Zeng to drink, Yuan Delong would not really take it seriously, after all, he knew that it was not easy to talk to Minister Zeng with his own status, and if he wanted to invite Minister Zeng without knowing how high or low, it would be too eyeless.

I saw Minister Zeng reach out and shake Yuan Delong gently, and then let go of his hand.

Director Chen naturally didn't care that Yuan Delong didn't send out an invitation, so when he saw Minister Zeng let go of his hand, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Minister Zeng, please come here." ”

Unexpectedly, when this sentence was spoken, he saw that Minister Zeng was still standing in place, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Laughing? Minister Zeng actually laughed? The corners of Director Chen's mouth were crooked in surprise, and his body still maintained a slightly bowed posture and did not react.

This Minister Zeng is not an ordinary person, but Zeng Mengquan, executive deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department. Of course, if this is just the case, Director Chen will not be so gaffe, the most important thing is that Zeng Mengquan has a great possibility to take over the position of the head of the Central Propaganda Department who is about to retire and become the next head of the Central Propaganda Department!

Even if he can't become the next minister, it is said that he is likely to send a developed province to become the governor, or even the leader of some remote provinces, which is the real prince. Facing Zeng Mengquan, who has such a bright future, Director Chen can't help but not give the other party a warning, and wants to leave a good impression on the other party.

And this Minister Zeng always has a straight face, whether in normal times or at work, and rarely sees a smile, but now he is smiling!

"Why, why is he laughing?" Director Chen secretly wondered, subconsciously followed the other party's eyes, and saw that Lin Zhimo, who had just been ignored by himself and didn't even say three words at the dinner table, was rubbing his hands together and looking at Zeng Mengquan with some embarrassment.

"The two of them know each other?"

This was the first thought in Director Chen's mind, but then this thought was thrown out of his mind, after all, if Lin Zhimo and Minister Zeng knew each other, there would be no need to invite himself to the dinner today, he only needed to ask Zeng Mengquan to explain, then he would immediately give the green light to Lin Zhimo's movie, no, every movie will give the green light!
