Chapter 7: Slap in the face
Li Xiaoning finished drinking a circle of wine and was about to pick up chopsticks to eat a few bites of food, when he heard a high-spirited voice, "I heard the proprietress outside just now, and I was wrapped up here today?" Who should I be? It turned out to be Zhao Aihua, you? How? Got rich? Let me tell you, I have an important guest here today, and you should move me quickly. ”
With the words, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged man walked in, in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses, but his facial features were crooked, and he looked like a scumbag at first glance, with a small slit in his eyes, revealing an evil light, which made people feel disgusting unconsciously, followed by the chubby proprietress lady.
As soon as everyone present saw the middle-aged man, most of them immediately stood up, and Zhao Aihua said in shock: "Mayor He, are you back?" ”
This person is one of the five deputy mayors of Pingshan Town, He Dongliang, who is in charge of attracting investment and economic construction. Although he is the same as Li Xiaoning, he is the deputy mayor, but he is the most awesome of the five deputy mayors, who is in charge of attracting investment, and you are in charge of family planning?
He Dongliang glanced at Zhao Aihua, let out a cold snort in his nose, and said angrily: "Zhao Aihua, I want to have an important guest from Binhai City here today, which is related to the investment promotion of our Pingshan Town, so you should move the place quickly...... Oh, Xiao Gu stayed for a while and accompanied the guests. ”
Listening to He Dongliang's arrogant words, everyone had a resentment in their hearts, but thinking that they were usually bullied by this benevolent brother, coupled with the idea that their arms couldn't reach their thighs, a few people even began to prepare to go out to move a place for He Dongliang. Of course, there were also people who sat and didn't move, wanting to see how Li Xiaoning responded.
Li Xiaoning didn't say anything, and watched He Dongliang's performance coldly, and then said slowly: "Mayor He, everything has a first come, first come, today I am here to invite everyone to dinner, if you don't dislike it, move a stool and sit together." If there's anything else going on, please change places. We haven't finished eating yet. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and froze there in a dilemma, on one side was the newly appointed deputy mayor of the "second generation of officials", who was a strong dragon, and on the other hand, the old deputy mayor who was coaxing and coaxing, was a local snake, and it was not good to offend any of them.
Zhao Aihua said to Li Xiaoning embarrassedly: "Mayor Li, they are all acquaintances, Mayor He has a distinguished guest to entertain, if not, let's change the place......"
Li Xiaoning shook his head and said, "Today is the first time I have invited everyone to dinner in Pingshan Town, how can I change places in the middle of eating?" Sit down, y'all. Mayor He has a big face and strong ability, so he won't even be able to eat a place to eat, right? ”.
He Dongliang noticed Li Xiaoning at this time, he received a call from Zhao Aihua outside today, saying that a new deputy mayor was coming to take office, but he didn't take it to heart at all, Pingshan Town is the poorest town in the entire Binhai City, but anyone who has a little relationship will not be sent here. In other words, everyone who is sent here is sent in, and there is nothing to worry about. Thinking of this, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Presumably you are the new Xiao Li, right?" Let me tell you, young people should not be ignorant of advance and retreat, they will suffer a big loss. The guest I want to invite today is the son of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and no one can afford to offend him...... If you know each other, hurry up and change places. ”
Li Xiaoning sneered again and again, and said, "If you don't give Mayor He a place, you just don't know each other?" You are so powerful? ”
He Dongliang suddenly changed color, pointed at Li Xiaoning and said sharply: "What kind of attitude do you have?!" Is this how you treat your superiors? It's no big or small, no wonder it's sent here......"
Li Xiaoning's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Others respect me for a foot, and I respect others for a foot." If you want me to have a good attitude towards you, you yourself will show a good attitude first, otherwise I will be polite. Also, when did you become my superior? It seems like we're at the same level, right? Also, what eye did you see that I was sent here? ”
He Dongliang is usually used to flying and domineering, and he thinks that he is the largest in the entire Pingshan Town except for Pang Weidong and Zhang Erwa, and even the other deputy mayors are not in his eyes, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by a young man who has just taken office today, and he couldn't help but be angry, and just wanted to go crazy, suddenly the huge cottage mobile phone in his hand rang, he glanced at the number, immediately changed another face, and answered the phone with a sycophant smile: "Tang Shao, you have arrived!" I'm coming out to pick you up! ......" that tone made goosebumps rise all over the people present.
After He Dongliang answered the phone, he immediately changed his face again, looked around at the crowd, and said viciously: "One of the people here today is counted as one, and I remember them all." Wait and be punished. After saying that, he thought he was very chic and walked away.
Everyone's hearts suddenly came again, Zhao Aihua's face was blue and white for a while, I didn't know what to say, this time I offended He Dongliang, I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future. Gu Yun also said worriedly: "Mayor Li, otherwise, let's change places." Mayor He, it seems that he really has an important guest coming. ”
However, Tian Xiuzhen was more palmed, and said pungently: "I support Mayor Xiao Li, what is there to be afraid of He Dongliang's grandson?" If you're afraid of him, get out of here, I'm not afraid of him, I'll stay here with Mayor Xiao Li. ”
Li Xiaoning's expression remained the same, beckoned everyone to sit down again, patted Zhao Aihua next to him on the shoulder and said, "Director Zhao, have a glass of wine, don't be like him." He said to the proprietress who had been watching the excitement on the side: "Sister, do we still have a few dishes that haven't come up?" Hurry up. When it's over, take two more bottles of wine, and ask for the most expensive Langyatai you have here. 20 pieces a bottle. ”
Before everyone's complicated mood calmed down, He Dongliang went and returned, followed by a young man in a leather coat, with a ponytail on his head and big sunglasses on his eyes. As soon as the young man entered the door, he shouted arrogantly, "Where birds don't, who is so awesome?" Don't even let Young Master Ben eat a meal? Stand up and let your young master take a look! ”
Li Xiaoning was directly happy when he saw this benevolent brother, but he deliberately said coldly on his face: "With sunglasses on your face, you are pretending to be blind?" I'm just sitting here, and you'll see. ”
When the young man heard Li Xiaoning's voice, he was stunned on the spot, and suddenly took off his sunglasses. Everyone thought he was going to get angry, but he didn't want to be angry for the next second, so he immediately changed his smiling face and said with a laugh: "Oh, Mom." Brother, why are you? It's really fucking that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't know my own family. Before he finished speaking, he slapped himself in the mouth again, "Look at me, I'm swearing in front of you again, I should be beaten." ”
At this moment, the whole room was stunned, this scene was too dramatic, and everyone guessed Li Xiaoning's background again in their hearts. He Dongliang was even more shocked, and the regret in his heart! Who is this handsome young man in front of him, even Tang Fei, the son of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, is busy slapping him! Didn't you ask for trouble for yourself just now?
A room full of people looked at Li Xiaoning's eyes and began to show sincere admiration, this Mayor Li is really not an ordinary person. Even the big people from the coastal area are respectful to him! Looking at He Dongliang's grizzled face again, he felt even more relieved. Zhao Aihua's face also began to flush again, it seems that he is betting on the right treasure this time, and the backstage of this Mayor Xiao Li is really not ordinarily hard.
He Dongliang stood at the door awkwardly, neither walking, nor leaving.
Li Xiaoning didn't look at He Dongliang, and rushed to Tang Fei, who walked to his side, and said with a smile: "You are calling your mother and brother when you meet, so I don't understand the seniority." ”
Tang Fei said with a bitter face: "Brother, I was wrong, can I do it." Don't make fun of me. ”
Li Xiaoning picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, no kidding." Fei Shao, I heard that you came all the way to our Pingshan Town to help us with construction, rush this, I toast you. ”
Tang Fei's face changed and said, "Brother." You call me Fei Shao, this is not forgiving me. Okay, I'll fine you three glasses of wine first, and apologize to you, brother! After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle, poured himself three glasses of wine, and drank it all! It is estimated that he usually drinks Lafite and Bordeaux too much, and he is a little unsuitable for this low-grade liquor.
Everyone clapped their hands in unison, and Li Xiaoning saw Tang Fei giving face like this, so he also toasted very simply, and then said: "You tell me honestly, did you really come to invest this time, or did you come to cheat and cheat?" ”
Tang Fei's eyes flickered a little, "Brother, you also know me." I'll do whatever I want to make money, this time, I'll take a look first, if it's appropriate, I'll definitely invest. ”
"Okay, with your words, I thank you in advance!" Li Xiaoning nodded and said.
He Dongliang saw that there was a gap in the conversation, and immediately interjected: "Mayor Li, today is your first day in office, I will toast you and give you a drink." ”
Li Xiaoning sat upright and did not speak, nor did he take the wine glass.
He Dongliang said curtly: "Mayor Li is looking down on me for this lump. ”
Without waiting for Li Xiaoning to speak, Bai Dengke, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, glared and said, "Mayor Li has been drinking and spilling, and he hasn't eaten a mouthful of food, what are you urging?" ”
As the so-called is that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, He Dongliang was just taken aback, and immediately forgot about it, glared at Bai Dengke fiercely, and said, "What are you?" I'm talking to Mayor Li, where is your turn? ”
