Chen Lao, mentioned by Wang Zijun, is the most prominent cadre who came out of Dongpu City, although he has now retired from his leadership position, but as a member of the advisory committee, he still has an influence that people cannot but pay attention to in Shanshan Province and Dongpu City.

Yang Xixi's sentence Xue personally went to visit at home, and he has pointed out a lot of things to Wang Zijun, although these meanings are implicit in this sentence, but whether it is the speaker or the listener, they all know each other. In recent years, the emphasis has been on running the department (step) forward, and the role of the Beijing Office in this is also obvious.

After drinking a bowl of refreshing and delicious white radish gnocchi noodle soup, Wang Zijun spent twenty minutes. In this process, Yang Xixi, who had already understood what Wang Zijun needed, told Wang Zijun a lot of stories about the invitees in Chapter 444 that Brother is not good-tempered but does not easily attack (crying blood and asking for votes), among these people, according to Yang Xixi, Wang Zijun should pay the most attention to in addition to the Director Li of the Ministry of Finance, that is, the two directors of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Half an hour later, Wang Zijun followed the members of the Standing Committee to Xue Yaojin's temporary residence. Because the banquet was about to start, Xue Yaojin didn't say anything, and walked towards the big restaurant that had been arranged long ago with a group of people.

For this reception, more than half of the Standing Committee of Dongpu City came, and several deputy mayors with important functions, such as Li Kanglu, also attended the reception.

The time of the cocktail party was set at half past seven, and at seven o'clock, people arrived one after another, Xue Yaojin waited at the door of the restaurant early, greeting every visitor with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more harmonious.

When most of the guests arrived, Xue Yaojin and Ren Changping greeted each other, and Wang Zijun and the others also said a few words when they met acquaintances, but most of the time, they just stood there and smiled.

"Director Li, I'm just looking for a car to pick up your brother." As a man in his forties who was not tall and had a middle-parted hair on his head walked into Chapter 444 Brother is not good-tempered but easily does not have a seizure (crying blood and begging for votes), Xue Yaojin's enthusiasm increased a few points unconsciously.

The person known as Director Li smiled and said: "I dare not be invited by others, but you Xue Zhao, let alone it is snowing, even if there are knives in the sky, I have to be on call, don't dare to delay?" ”

Xue Yaojin seemed to be very useful to Director Li's words, and after a few modest words with Director Li, he took Director Li's hand and personally sent him to the position of the main table.

Because Yang Xixi had mentioned this Director Li, Wang Zijun was also very attentive to him, and he found that after Director Li sat down, Li Kanglu, who had been following Xue Yaojin, sat next to Director Li with a smile on his face. Although the voices in the restaurant were too noisy, Wang Zijun couldn't hear what the two people were talking about, but judging from the demeanor of the two people, they were still very happy.

Soon, most of the guests have arrived, after Ren Changping reported this year's work to the leaders in Beijing on behalf of Dongpu City, Xue Yaojin made a warm toast, and as Xue Yaojin raised his glass, the whole banquet officially began.

Because there was a division of labor before the reception, after the banquet began, Wang Zijun came to his place. The main task of him sitting here is to accompany the wine, of course, he is not alone, there is also an office director of the Beijing Office sitting next to him, and he is very familiar with everyone here.

Sitting at Wang Zijun's wine table, the highest official position is the deputy director of a ministry, and most of the others are the directors or deputy directors of a certain department. In the capital, the long-term pampering and preferential treatment of the cadres below them have a sense of superiority, but when the director of the Beijing Office introduced Wang Zijun as the executive vice mayor of Dongpu City, these people were obviously surprised.

With such a young executive deputy mayor, it is enough to conclude that this person will have a bright future in the future, so whether it is the deputy director or several directors of the real power faction, they are very polite to Wang Zijun, and the atmosphere at the wine table is also very harmonious.

Many friends and many paths, Wang Zijun is also happy to make more friends, although he does not do it deliberately, but after a conversation, he has also become a lot closer to the people at the same table.

"Mayor Wang, I salute you, our hometown can produce such a young leader, and Dongpu City's economy is expected to take off!" After Wang Zijun poured them a circle of wine, the deputy director took the wine bottle from the waiter's hand and said to Wang Zijun with a smile.

"Director Rong, you are so polite, we can sit at a wine table without outsiders, you praise me like this, don't you make everyone laugh at me?" Wang Zijun's humility carried a hint of humor, which made everyone chuckle.

Director Rong was also very satisfied with Wang Zijun's attitude, picked up the wine glass and poured a small glass for Wang Zijun and said, "Mayor Wang, I won't say anything about this wine, you have to drink it anyway." ”

After a burst of laughter, the distance between the group narrowed a few points. At this time, although Wang Zijun has been controlling his amount of alcohol, a feeling of going up is still surging in his stomach, but fortunately, before drinking, there is Yang Xixi's dinner at the bottom, but he is not ugly.

The time of joy always passed quickly, more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, most people were already full of wine and food, and the whole banquet had reached **. Someone was already ready to leave, and Wang Zijun heard someone say behind him: "I heard that there is a new executive deputy mayor in our city, but I didn't expect to be so young and promising, as the saying goes, wine depends on character, brother, brother, I toast you with a glass, I wish my brother a long journey and a bright future!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Zijun stood up from his chair, and what caught his eye was Director Li's face that looked a little red, but along with this face, there was also a glass wine glass. The glass was full of four taels, and the wine that was about to overflow was constantly swaying in the glass.

Toasting people is originally a very common thing, but this Director Li pours wine with such a large cup, it is not as simple as pouring wine. Wang Zijun looked at the wine glass that was still shaking on the table, and his face sank.

His gaze bypassed Director Li and looked not far away from Director Li, and he saw Li Kanglu, who was not far from Director Li, holding a wine glass in his hand, standing there with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Director Li, I'll take this wine." Wang Zijun pondered for a moment, then pulled the cup towards him and said with a smile.

"What to take? It should be drunk! Why, Mayor Wang doesn't even give this face, does he look down on me as a brother? Director Li pulled the cup in front of him, pretending to be angry and said: "Mayor Wang, you Xue and Mayor Ren both know my temper, although I am not very good, but I haven't drunk the wine I poured." ”

Everyone who was talking loudly couldn't help but look at Wang Zijun and Director Li, and their eyes also stayed on the wine glass that contained four taels of wine.

Four taels of wine, even if the amount of alcohol is good, it will be uncomfortable to drink like this, not to mention that the banquet is almost over now. As people in the officialdom, how can they not see that Director Li is clearly not pouring wine, I am afraid that he is looking for trouble.

Among them, Director Li's position is not the highest, but it is the most affordable. As the director of the Ministry of Finance, Director Li can bring great benefits to Dongpu City in many aspects, so at some times, the leading cadres of Dongpu City are also very tolerant of him.

Xue Yaojin was drinking with an old cadre from Dongpu, and when he saw Director Li attacking Wang Zijun, his brows furrowed. Four taels of wine, this Director Li simply wants Wang Zijun to look good, said hello to the old cadre, and Xue Yaojin walked over quickly.

"I've got enough wine today, let's talk about it tomorrow." Wang Zijun smiled, and there was no joy or anger in his voice.

"Mayor Wang, if you don't drink my wine, do you look down on my surname Li? I can tell you Mayor Wang, if this is the case, you can say it bluntly, as long as you say a word, my surname Li will never come to rub your cold face again in the future! ”

Director Li, as the director of the real power department of the Ministry of Finance, has many mayors who come to him to do business, although Wang Zijun is young, he is also an executive deputy mayor, and he is not enough to let him take it seriously. Besides, he had already patted his chest and promised that even if this young deputy mayor was a fortress, he would have to be captured, and if this glass of wine could not be poured, then there would indeed be no place for his Director Li's face!

"Director Li, I think this wine is like this, Mayor Wang will drink half of it, and it will be over." Xue Yaojin walked over from the crowd, smiled at Director Li, and relieved Wang Zijun.

Seeing Xue Yaojin, the smile on Director Li's face also increased, and he smiled and said: "Xue, in front of you, I have always been told by you to go east, I dare not go west, but this time it is not good, this little brother really doesn't give face, you see, how can the wine I pour out be poured back into the wine bottle?" Let this little brother be honest, I believe he has this ability! ”

Xue Yaojin was suddenly stopped by Director Li's words, and there was a trace of anger in his heart, however, Dongpu City now has requests for Director Li in some aspects, and he can't say tough things yet, not to mention that most of the Dongpu cadres who are here now have a good relationship with Director Li, and if they speak strongly, it is not a problem for one or two people to offend.

"Come on, come on, Mayor Wang, do you see that you Xue have agreed, and let me stand here and wait? Come on, be honest, drink it! Seeing that Xue Yaojin didn't speak, Director Li took the wine glass and handed it to Wang Zijun again.

Wang Zijun looked at the silent Xue Yaojin, sneered in his heart, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture to catch the wine glass, but when he saw that the wine glass was about to fall into his hand, his hand suddenly let go.

"Smack!"

The wine glass fell from Wang Zijun's hand in an instant, and slammed it on the marble floor, and the instant impact made the wine glass shatter into pieces of glass, and the wine in the wine glass was scattered all over the ground.

"Sorry, oops, my hand slipped." Wang Zijun glanced at Director Li and explained lightly.

Director Li's face turned red, and he understood that this was because people didn't give him face. As the director of the Ministry of Finance, he thinks highly of himself, and at this time, he let Wang Zijun directly get the wine glass to the ground, only to feel that the anger is high, and he is very unhappy.

"Xue, what does Mayor Wang mean by this, if you don't give me an explanation, then my surname Li won't have the face to come to our hometown party in the future!" Director Li's words carried a hint of threat, which clearly meant that I would not come in the future, and if you have any problems, don't look for me!

Xue Yaojin's face became a little ugly. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Director Li's initiative, the toast in the officialdom was unreasonable, and many things were done at the wine table. What's more, he also pointed to Director Li to operate for him, if he provoked this Director Li, although it would not be difficult, but it would affect his work, which he absolutely did not want to see.

"It's almost the New Year, Mayor Wang's miss, but in response to the old saying, broken (years) are safe. I think so, change the glass, how many wine kings and mayors should drink, let's start all over again. Xue Yaojin groaned for a moment, and a bright smile appeared on his face again.

Li Kanglu, who was standing next to Xue Yaojin, also smiled and said to Director Li when Xue Yaojin spoke: "Brother Li, you have drunk some wine, and it is inevitable that your hands will slip, Xue Du has already said that you have to give Mayor Wang a chance to change, right?" As he spoke, he took an identical wine glass, filled it with wine and handed it to Wang Zijun and said, "Mayor Wang, we have spoken, this is a political task!" ”

Wang Zijun looked at Li Kanglu with the appearance of you don't die or who dies, sneered secretly in his heart, took the wine glass from Li Kanglu's hand, glanced at Director Li, and said bluntly: "I don't drink this glass of wine, you really don't have this face!" ”

Wang Zijun didn't deliberately hide his voice, and in the entire hall, everyone looked at Wang Zijun in surprise, wondering in their hearts, what happened to the deputy mayor of Dongpu City?

You really don't have this face, this sentence made everyone stunned. They thought that in this kind of soft and hard situation, even if you drank so much that people would drink this glass of wine, they didn't expect him to refuse! And he said it bluntly, like a telephone pole, and poked it there with an expressionless face.

You really don't have this face, Director Li listened to this, his face was a little red, and under embarrassment, his mind was like a swarm of wasps, buzzing non-stop, looking at the wine glasses on the table, almost doubting whether this situation was true.

Categorically refused, the young man in front of him not only refused Xue Yaojin's request, but also directly put his hand on his face. If Wang Zijun's verbal fight just now was just a strategy of not drinking, then now Wang Zijun directly put down the wine glass, which is to hit him in the face.

"What did you say?" Director Li's face turned a little red, and he took a step towards Wang Zijun, pressing step by step.

"It seems that Director Li is really confused, I said that you really don't have this face!" While Wang Zijun was speaking, he glanced at Xue Yaojin and said, "Xue, I still have some things, so I'll go first." ”

Xue Yaojin didn't expect that a glass of wine didn't fall, but the relationship with Director Li was stiffened. looked at Wang Zijun, who turned his head away, although he also felt that he was not to blame for the cause of the incident, but, thinking about the consequences of his actions, this approval turned into anger again. However, on this occasion, he is not suitable for an attack on the spot, if because of this trivial matter, he, the number one leader, has a dispute with the executive deputy mayor, I am afraid that it will become a joke in the cadre circle of Dongpu in the capital.

"You stop me, you say I don't have this face." Director Li, who was furious, saw that Wang Zijun was leaving, and chased him out of the restaurant quickly.

Li Kanglu stood aside, with a sneer in his heart, this result was more relieving to him than pouring Wang Zijun down and embarrassing people. As soon as Wang Zijun left like this, not only did he make Xue Yaojin angry, but he couldn't do anything in the capital in the future, so he could push it on him, who let him offend Director Li? Tracing back to the source, the crux of the problem is him!

Watching Director Li chase after Wang Zijun, Li Kanglu secretly said in his heart, it's good to pull up, the bigger the trouble, the greater the responsibility of his Wang Zijun, hehe, at that time, see how you end!

Wang Zijun looked at Director Li who had caught up, and secretly sneered in his heart, not wanting to entangle with such people, so he walked outside the restaurant in three or two steps and came to the front hall of the hotel.

Because it is a meal, the lobby of the hotel is also very lively, this hotel is a large hotel, although the Dongpu City Beijing Office has a large restaurant, but the other floors of the hotel, is still full of visitors.

Wang Zijun walked not slowly, and between three or two steps, he distanced himself from Director Li, but just as he was walking forward quickly, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and Wang Zijun, who didn't expect someone in front of him, collided with someone at once.

"What are you doing? My eyes are on my back! Before the person who collided with Wang Zijun could speak, a young man who followed the man had already come up angrily, and seeing him raise his hand, he seemed to want to give Wang Zijun two blows.

At this time, Wang Zijun saw that it was a woman who collided with him, and it was a very beautiful woman. The woman frowned slightly, and her palm rubbed her arm gently, looking at the touch, the bump just now seemed to hit her not lightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it." Although the woman left in too much hurry just now, Wang Zijun still apologized very graciously, as a big man, Wang Zijun didn't want to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Just say I'm sorry, Chunyan, are you okay?" The man's angry words were obviously directed towards Wang Zijun, and then he asked the woman with concern.

"It's fine." The woman's voice was very soft, she glanced at Wang Zijun, and was about to speak, when someone asked from behind: "What's the matter, I'm in a hurry and not in shape!" ”

When the woman heard the voice, she turned her head and said, "Dad, it's okay, I just touched someone." ”

When the woman turned her head, Wang Zijun saw a middle-aged man coming down from the upper floor. The man was dressed in casual attire, but his steps were full of calmness, and when he walked, a sense of depression unconsciously rose.

After looking at the man who came over, Wang Zijun felt as if he had seen it there, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.

The man glanced at his daughter, then fell on Wang Zijun's body, and in an instant, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes: "Isn't this Zijun, when did you come to Beijing?" ”

Originally, he felt that this person was familiar, but now that he heard his name mentioned, Wang Zijun became more and more sure that if this person was not his relative, he would be a friend of Mo Xiaobei's family. But if you can't tell who the other person is, it's a shameful thing.

"I just came, and you're eating here!" Wang Zijun's quick wit came into play at this time, and he smiled at the man with a calm look.

"It's okay at home today, this girl is greedy, and I've had a good time with her." The man smiled at Wang Zijun, and then beckoned to the young woman and said, "Chunyan, haven't you always wanted to meet Xiaobei's husband, this is it, called brother-in-law!" ”

A sentence called brother-in-law, immediately solved the embarrassment of Wang Zijun's ignorance, although I don't know what the man is called, but it should be right to call him an uncle or something.

When the woman named Chunyan heard her father say this, she immediately became interested in Wang Zijun, and looked Wang Zijun up and down, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Mayor Wang, you have to give me this wine anyway, in Beijing, there is no one who does not give me face." At this delayed time, Director Li, who rushed out of the restaurant, had already caught up with Wang Zijun, and without looking at the person in front of him, he grabbed Wang Zijun's shoulder, looking like a teacher asking for guilt.

Wang Zijun glanced at Director Li in disgust, and stretched out his hand to push him away. At this time, Xue Yaojin and a few others also rushed over from behind, and saw that Wang Zijun was entangled by Director Li again, whether it was Xue Yaojin or the others, their faces became a little ugly.

If you just made such a fuss in the restaurant, the shame was only lost in Dongpu City, then in this huge outer hall, if it is seen by acquaintances, it will be a bit easy to say!

"Mayor Wang, you're too good! If you don't give me face, do you look down on my surname Li, let me tell you, after drinking this glass of wine, everything will be forgotten, if your brother insists on not giving me face, then don't blame me for not knowing anyone surnamed Li! Director Li raised the cup in his hand to Wang Zijun and said with a strong sense of wine.

In front of Mo Xiaobei's relatives, he was forced to pour wine, which made Wang Zijun a little annoyed, and looking at the arm that was pulling towards him, Wang Zijun was ready to throw him away directly.

"Li Chunhua, have you drunk too much? What a drunken mania, you! The man who was talking to Wang Zijun was a little unhappy when he saw someone coming in, and when he saw Director Li's face clearly, this displeasure immediately turned into ice.

As soon as Li Chunhua's three words came out, Director Li was taken aback, although he was already drunk and hazy at this time, but subconsciously, he was still a little alert, and when he heard this greeting, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at the position of the person who reprimanded. ro！！！
