The dinner soon arrived at the time it was expected to start.

In the middle of the week, I stepped into the hall of the dinner party.

There were hundreds of people attending the dinner, and these hundreds of people basically covered the most cutting-edge figures in the entire Qingjiang political and business circles.

If there is an explosion in this hall at this time, it will be enough to cut off the tip of Qingjiang's pyramid directly.

With a reserved smile on his face, Zhou Zhong walked all the way, greeting left and right, and walked up to the stage of the banquet hall.

Standing on the stage, looking at more than 100 pairs of eyes under the stage, although this platform is only more than 20 centimeters higher than the surroundings, but in the eyes of Zhou Zhongzheng at this time, this is a feeling that he will be at the top!

From the second-in-command of the government to the number one leader, it seems that it is only a step forward, but how difficult this step is to take is a matter that people know by themselves.

Zhou Zhongzheng knows very well that if it weren't for Sun Zhongkang's inexplicable sudden downfall this time, he would probably have been in the position of executive deputy for the last political career, until he was about to retire, if he operated well, he might be able to adjust to the CPPCC to hang up the position of chairman and raise his administrative level to another level.

If this is the case, for Zhou Zhongzheng, in fact, there are not too many regrets, after all, there are many people who have been mixed with officialdom all their lives and are difficult to advance at the department level, and there are many people who have never been able to go to the next level in their lives at the department level, and there are not a few people who are really capable and capable.

All that is missing is a few luck and people who appreciate them.

Unlike most of the elites in foreign countries who are concentrated in the business world, in the mainland, the really talented and capable people are almost all within the system, so fierce that it can even be called a fierce competition, Zhou Zhongzheng was able to climb to the high position he is now, he is actually quite content, but he will be a little unwilling.

But Sun Zhongkang suddenly had an accident, giving him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Subsequently, under the tacit understanding formed by several factions, Sun Zhongkang was completely taken down without accident, and he Zhou Zhongzheng got his wish to sit on the mayoral throne that he didn't know how long he had been thinking about it!

Because Qingjiang is a vice-provincial city, although the mayor is not like the secretary who can be on the standing committee of the provincial party committee, he is also at the vice ministerial level, and from the executive vice mayor at the department level to the vice minister-level mayor, in the officialdom, this step can even be regarded as a leap into the dragon gate!

In the entire mainland, there are more than 100,000 department-level cadres, but there are less than 2,000 ministerial-level cadres, and it is no wonder that Zhou Zhong is so high-spirited.

Although the relevant level promotion has not yet been issued, Yiqiē has basically been confirmed, and when the term of office is changed next year and the people's congress is officially announced, he will become a real senior cadre.

And a person, as the position under the ass gets higher and higher, it is often accompanied by more and more ambition.

That's the case in midweek.

After finally becoming the acting mayor, the problem that Zhou Zhongzheng was thinking about immediately changed dramatically, and what he was thinking about now was to get enough right to speak from Qin Songlin's hands!

He doesn't want to be a mayor like Sun Zhongkang, his roots in Qingjiang are far deeper than Sun Zhongkang, so he wants to have real rights!

Even if you can't compete with Qin Songlin, at least you have to be able to implement your will in some more serious things!

Tonight's banquet is the first step!

Standing on the stage and speaking humorously for more than ten minutes, Zhou Zhongzheng finally stopped himself from going to a tirade, and then the whole dinner officially began.

The dinner was held in a way more akin to a Western cocktail party, with a completely buffet menu and drinks carried by a dozen staff members on trays and back and forth through the crowd.

As the stage got off the stage in the middle of the week, melodious music immediately sounded in the hall, and some people began to dance slowly and leisurely to the music.

The ball is never the goal, and the most important thing is to get together like this, talk to each other, and reach some cooperation intentions as much as possible.

Ye Su was about to pull Su Yunxuan to run to those self-service tables to get some desserts to eat, but before he could make a move, Zhou Qian swayed over again.

"Principal Su, I hope to have this honor and invite you to dance together."

Zhou Qian said with a gentlemanly demeanor.

"I'm sorry, I'm here with a dance partner, he'll accompany me if I want to dance."

Su Yunxuan politely refused.

Zhou Qian glanced at Ye Su, then shook his head and smiled: "Principal Su, it's not that I'm a talkative person, it's just that ...... Some of the elegant dance steps are not just for anyone. Some people, although they are very good-looking, really don't have any other use than to put them out as clothes racks. ”

"But I'm from the Appearance Association, and if a person doesn't even look good, I'm even less interested in doing other things with him."

Su Yunxuan said without giving Zhou Qian any face.

Ye Su stood aside with a smile without saying a word, as if these things had nothing to do with him at all.

Zhou Qian's face froze, although Su Yunxuan said this, there was a lot of anger in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but he cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that after chasing Su Yunxuan, he would ravage it well to vent the anger in his heart.

While comforting himself like this, Zhou Qian turned his head to look at Ye Su, and the smile on his face became a little dangerous, and said, "Teacher Ye Su, how about you lend me your female companion a dance?" ”

"Borrow? Principal Su is only herself, and I am not qualified to make decisions for her. ”

Ye Su said with a smile.

Of course, you can't call the shots for your headmaster! But don't you feel like a light bulb standing here!

Zhou Qian thought in his mind, but said on his lips: "Hehe, this is just a joke, I mean, the people who can participate in tonight's banquet are all real big shots, with your identity, if it wasn't for Principal Su to bring you here, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to meet these people in your life." Don't you want to take advantage of this time to get to know more other people? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if that big man really appreciates you, you don't have to be just an ordinary university teacher, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to squeeze into the upper class of Qingjiang. ”

"Really? It sounds tempting, but it always feels like it's too much trouble, so wouldn't it be more convenient for me to catch our headmaster here, in case she takes a fancy to me and wants to be with me? ”

After pretending to think about it, Ye Su said very seriously.

Zhou Qian looked at Ye Su blankly, and after making sure that Ye Su was not joking, he suddenly said with a smile: "Dude, are you not sick?" Can your principal take a fancy to you? ”

"What's impossible, men are not afraid of having nothing, who made me handsome, if you can be as handsome as me, you will be as confident as me."

Ye Su said with a look of underwhelming.
