Just when Director Chen was in doubt, Zeng Mengquan spoke, but it was this sentence that made him sweat like rain, and the two trembled, and the disdain that looked at Lin Zhimo turned into shock, and even fear!

Zeng Mengquan smiled and asked, "Zhimo, will you go home for dinner tonight?" ”

Not only was Director Chen stupid by this sentence, but even Yuan Delong was stunned, he never thought that Lin Zhimo would actually know Zeng Mengquan, and it was such an intimate relationship that they could eat together at home!

At this moment, everyone's gaze at Lin Zhimo changed subtly, and they just thought that Lin Zhimo was just a star. Don't talk about Director Chen, even the few people who are following Zeng Mengquan now can make Lin Zhimo make a big deal with him with a casual word, and even he can no longer survive in the entertainment industry, even if Yuan Delong really turns his face with Lin Zhimo, it can make Lin Zhimo's career development not go well.

But now with Zeng Mengquan's question, everyone has a trace of eagerness in their eyes when they look at Lin Zhimo, in their eyes, Lin Zhimo is not only a star, but also the best way to befriend Zeng Mengquan!

You must know that several people present now are all bigwigs in charge of China's propaganda and radio and television mouths, and they dare not say anything else, but in this area of TV and movies, they are definitely well-known figures who will cause earthquakes in the circle if they stomp their feet, and if you want to give Lin Zhimo some benefits, it is not much easier than drinking water.

Lin Zhimo naturally noticed the change in the expressions of others, especially Director Chen's gaze, which changed from the original indifference to the current fear and even flattery.

Involuntarily. These glances actually made Lin Zhimo feel a burst of relief.

But despite this, Lin Zhimo still clearly realized that all this was caused by Zeng Mengquan's words, so he said with a smile: "Since my uncle has spoken, how dare I not go." ”

Zeng Mengquan nodded and turned to leave, just took two steps and turned back and said, "It's not me who speaks, it's your uncle who is still unconvinced." ”

Lin Zhimo's face suddenly collapsed: "Isn't it, the uncle is also there at night?" Or I'd better not go. ”

"Load! Just pretend to fuck, you dare not go to Minister Zeng's family banquet?! ”

This was the only thought in the hearts of everyone present, and the eyes that looked at Lin Zhimo were also a little more contemptuous. Especially Director Chen. Looking at Lin Zhimo now, his gaze couldn't wait to immediately attach himself to Lin Zhimo, and then nodded and agreed to Zeng Mengquan's invitation.

Zeng Mengquan ignored Lin Zhimo's funnyness, and said directly: "You have to go, it's decided." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

looked at Zeng Mengquan's departing figure. Director Chen squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at Lin Zhimo: "Mr. Lin." Be sure to wait a minute. I'll come back and have two more drinks with you! ”

After speaking, he nodded to Yuan Delong, and then hurriedly chased Zeng Mengquan down.

Back in the box, Yuan Delong looked at Lin Zhimo blankly and said, "Zhimo." How many secrets do you have? ”

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan, what other secrets can I have?" ”

Yuan Delong came back to his senses, glared at him and asked, "No secrets?" Then tell me honestly what is your relationship with Minister Zeng, how did he know you, and invited you to dinner at home, and why did you call Minister Zeng uncle? ”

"Stop, stop, Uncle Yuan, you have too many questions." Lin Zhimo hurriedly made a brake gesture at Yuan Delong.

Yuan Delong said: "Then you will answer one by one!" ”

Lin Zhimo said: "If I say that this is the second time I have met Minister Zeng, do you believe it?" After saying this, Lin Zhimo saw Yuan Delong's gaze as if he was looking at a fool, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, just let me not say it." Anyway, you just need to remember that Minister Zeng and I are relatives. ”

Because Lin Zhimo didn't know the specific identity of Zeng Mengquan now, but he also knew that the families of many high-ranking officials were private, so he didn't rashly reveal the specific relationship between himself and Zeng Mengquan, and Lin Zhimo didn't want to make this matter known to the world.

Lin Zhimo thought that Yuan Delong would be dissatisfied with his explanation, and he even thought of an excuse for how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that after hearing Lin Zhimo's words, Yuan Delong nodded: "It's a relative?" That's good, that's good. I'm afraid that you only have a one-sided relationship. ”

Lin Zhimo couldn't help asking, "Uncle Yuan, don't you blame me for not telling you......"

Before Lin Zhimo finished speaking, Yuan Delong waved his hand to interrupt Lin Zhimo's words and said, "You don't have to explain, some things only know that the result is better." ”

Yuan Delong has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he naturally deeply understands what it means to "don't ask what shouldn't be asked". Lin Zhimo had never mentioned Zeng Mengquan's relationship before, with Yuan Delong's understanding of Lin Zhimo, he would not think that Lin Zhimo would be stupid enough not to take advantage of it, but he would beg a small deputy director here a little lowly.

The reason why Lin Zhimo didn't use this relationship before can only explain one reason, that is, this relationship has just existed recently, maybe as Lin Zhimo said, he and Zeng Mengquan have only met once.

And Lin Zhimo said that he was related to Zeng Mengquan, which made Yuan Delong have to think more, after all, there are too many cases of some big families having illegitimate children in the officialdom, and these are better not for outsiders, only understanding one fact is the best result.

It was precisely because of Yuan Delong's thinking that he would not ask Lin Zhimo the specific truth.

Lin Zhimo naturally wouldn't know that in such a short period of time, Yuan Delong would actually think of so much, and even think of himself as the illegitimate son of a big man, if he knew, Lin Zhimo would definitely cry and laugh, but now Yuan Delong didn't ask it, but it was exactly what Lin Zhimo wanted.

"Uncle Yuan, what do you think I should do when Director Chen comes up?" Lin Zhimo didn't have the slightest experience in dealing with these officials, so he could only turn to Yuan Delong for help.

Yuan Delong sneered: "If you know that you have nothing to do, just leave, and I will deal with the rest." ”

"Leave? Such...... Is it appropriate? Lin Zhimo was a little hesitant, he was afraid that if he left, he would leave a bad impression on Director Chen. After all, he was not very clear about Zeng Mengquan's identity, so although he saw Director Chen's fawning over Zeng Mengquan, he still didn't dare to despise him in the slightest.

"Don't worry, as long as the relationship between you and Minister Zeng is solid, then even if he invites you to drink next time and you don't touch a drop, he won't dare to say anything!" Yuan Delong's current psychological research on Director Chen is very thorough, and his ignorance of Lin Zhimo just now has become his life-saving talisman, Yuan Delong believes that when Director Chen comes up, he will definitely please Lin Zhimo in every way, for fear that Lin Zhimo will say a bad word about him in front of Zeng Mengquan.

"Naturally, it is true between me and my uncle, but Director Chen ...... after all" Lin Zhimo wanted to say that Director Chen was the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which was directly in charge of the film and television department. But then he thought of Director Chen's indifference to him at the wine table just now. He couldn't help but be angry in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Uncle Yuan, then I'll go first!" ”

"Go ahead. Be careful not to touch him. Yuan Delong instructed.

"Don't worry."

How can a big hotel of this level have only one way to leave? So Lin Zhimo chose another path and got up to leave.

Not long after Lin Zhimo left, Director Chen walked in a little breathlessly. After entering the box, he found that there was no Lin Zhimo, and he was stunned: "Old Yuan, where is Lin Zhimo?" ”

"Oh, Chen Ju, you just left. He received a call from his family and had to leave early. Yuan Delong looked at Director Chen's face and deliberately asked, "Why don't I call him back?" ”

"No, no, no, no." Director Chen hurriedly waved his hand and refused, thinking that Lin Zhimo had just called Zeng Mengquan his uncle, and when he heard Lin Zhimo's family call him back again, how could he dare to ask Lin Zhimo to come back.

Seeing the somewhat panicked expression on Director Chen's face, Yuan Delong sneered in his heart, stood up and said, "Bureau Chen, since this is the case, then I will go back first." ”

"Hey, Old Yuan, Brother Yuan, you're not interesting enough, since Mr. Lin has left, can't you have two drinks with me?" When Director Chen heard this, he immediately stopped Yuan Delong and pretended to be displeased.

Yuan Delong naturally knew that Director Chen would not let him go, and he also had something to say to Director Chen, just doing this just now was just a small revenge for the anger he had just received, and now that he heard that Director Chen had already called himself a brother, Yuan Delong's heart was much brighter, so he sat down and teased: "Chen Ju, you don't have to go back to work?" ”

Director Chen's face turned red, and he remembered what he had just said, but after all, he was a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he returned to normal in an instant and said: "Brother Yuan, don't tease me, brother, I was confused just now, okay?" Come, I'll toast you to a sin! ”

Yuan Delong said with a smile: "Chen Ju said this, but he will see the outside, my old Yuan has no ability, but it is not worth Chen Ju to make amends." ”

"Yes, yes, I should apologize to Mr. Lin, I didn't greet you thoughtfully just now, so, Brother Yuan, when do you think you have time to arrange for me to meet with Mr. Lin?" Director Chen's posture was very low.

Seeing Director Chen say this, Yuan Delong's purpose was achieved, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I believe Zhimo will still give me this face." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Director Chen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yuan, you tell me the truth, what is the relationship between Mr. Lin and Minister Zeng?" ”

Yuan Delong put his arm around Director Chen's shoulders and whispered: "Bureau Chen, let me tell you this, Zhimo, he is related to Minister Zeng, and they only learned about this matter recently, and they don't want others to know about it." ”

Director Chen's heart sank, and he thought of the illegitimate child like Yuan Delong, and his original heart of asking the bottom of the matter suddenly disappeared, and he raised his wine glass and said to Yuan Delong: "Brother Yuan, brother, I salute you, thank you for your mention today." ”

Yuan Delong smiled and drank all the wine in the cup.

Although Zeng Mengquan's relationship is here, Director Chen does not dare to do anything to Lin Zhimo, but as the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, Lin Zhimo still has to survive in the entertainment industry after all, so he can't do without the constraints of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Although Zeng Mengquan is now the executive deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department, he is not a minister after all, and he is equivalent to the position of another deputy minister who is also the director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

So Yuan Delong just let Lin Zhimo leave, but he stayed and continued to wait for Director Chen, otherwise the two of them would have left together a long time ago. The reason why Yuan Delong stayed was to tell Director Chen about the relationship between Lin Zhimo and Zeng Mengquan, so that he could maintain a sense of mystery about Lin Zhimo and dare not block Lin Zhimo's later works.

Yuan Delong's words did play a role, after Director Chen went back, he specially inquired about Zeng Mengquan's recent situation, and then inquired about Zeng Mengquan's father, that is, Zeng Yufu, the elder generation of national leaders, had recently recognized a family member, and he also deliberately set up a family banquet for this purpose.

The specific situation will naturally not be known at Director Chen's level, but it does not hinder Director Chen's own fantasies, and then thinking of Yuan Delong's words, in the end, Director Chen confirmed that Lin Zhimo was the illegitimate son of the Zeng family, so he also had a standard for Lin Zhimo's attitude - to stay away.

After that, Director Chen even ordered his subordinates - in the future, if there are any requirements for any of Lin Zhimo's works, as long as they are not particularly excessive, then they will be given the green light. (To be continued......)
