The box selected by Wang Xiuguang is a small bag with very elegant decoration and style, which is placed on a rosewood square dining table, and a chair made of rosewood is placed in each direction. [Full text reading]

According to the rules here, the chair facing the box door is the guest of honor; On the left and right sides are secondary guests seated; And the chair at the door of the box, because it is the place where the food is served, is sat by the younger generations or the people who pay the bill.

After Wei Qiang greeted the people in the box, he turned his head and saw that he only had the seat left as a companion, and he was very unhappy, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he didn't want to sit down.

Ye Ming noticed his displeasure, and quickly stood up and said, "County Magistrate Wei, you come to sit with me, get closer to Mayor Wang, and you two leaders can communicate well." ”

Wei Qiang thought that he was the one Xu Fei brought over to pay the bill, thinking that although this young man was young, he seemed to know the rules very well, so he nodded and sat down in Ye Ming's position honestly and unceremoniously.

Wang Xiuguang mainly came to invite Ye Ming today, and now he saw Wei Qiang squeezing him to the bottom position, he was very unhappy, thinking that you Wei Qiang, you have been in the officialdom for so long, you can't even see this situation clearly, you are still a fart county magistrate! You don't want to think about it: Ye Ming, a small deputy director of the sub-bureau, why did he come to eat with me? Why should I introduce him to you? If it weren't for my important guest, would I, the mayor, be able to personally introduce you to a deputy director of the local taxation bureau?

Of course, although Wang Xiuguang was unhappy, he couldn't say anything: after all, the Local Taxation Bureau was still a unit under the jurisdiction of the county government, and Wei Qiang was still the county magistrate, so he had to come forward to solve Ye Ming's matter.

However, in order not to let Ye Ming have any grievances, and to let Wei Qiang understand Ye Ming's weight in his mind, he still decided to do something conspicuous to show him and make him sober.

So, he smiled and said to Ye Ming: "Director Ye, what kind of wine do you want to drink today?" Is it Wuliangye or Shuijingfang? Wuliang liquid alcohol is a little higher, Shuijingfang degree is a little higher, which one do you like? ”

As soon as Wang Xiuguang said this, Wei Qiang couldn't help but be taken aback, and his eyes suddenly widened at the boss: What's going on? Mayor Wang actually asked this young man what kind of wine he wanted to drink, and actually called him Director Ye, which is too unbelievable! The deputy director of a local taxation sub-bureau is at most a unit-level cadre, is it necessary for Mayor Wang to call him that?

Ye Ming heard Wang Xiuguang ask him what kind of wine he was drinking, and he was also like falling into a fog, and said a little inexplicably: "Mayor Wang, didn't you say it at the beginning?" Today we will drink Wuliangye, and the waiter has already ordered it just now. ”

Wang Xiuguang actually deliberately did it for Wei Qiang to see, so he pretended to forget, patted his head with his hand and said: "Look at my memory, the wine I ordered just now was forgotten in the blink of an eye, old man, it is not as good as a young man like Director Ye." Hahaha! ”

Xu Fei hurriedly joked: "Mayor Wang, you are a noble person who forgets things, not that you are old. Many of our municipal organs have said: every time I listen to your report, it is a kind of enjoyment, whether it is boring data, or vivid idioms and allusions, you are easy to come every time, never look at the manuscript paper, we are very impressed with your memory. You still say that your memory is not good, so how can we be embarrassed if we can't memorize a 500-word speech! ”

Xu Fei's sycophant happened to shoot Wang Xiuguang's idea: it turned out that Wang Xiuguang has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, he is well-read and memorized when he reads, has a very wide range of knowledge, and has a very good memory.

Therefore, after Xu Fei finished saying those flattering words, although he wanted to be modest, he still showed a smug smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Director Xu has won the award, he has won the award!" I just usually read a little more than others, dabbled in a wider range of knowledge, and strived not to fall behind and not be eliminated by this era. Nothing else! ”

And Wei Qiang, seeing that Wang Xiuguang was so polite to Ye Ming, and he couldn't figure out the reason for a while, he was a little restless, and glanced at Ye Ming with his eyes from time to time, thinking nervously about what the relationship between him and Wang Xiuguang was.

At this time, the waiter had already prepared the dishes in the box, and the bottle of "Wuliangye Wine" had been opened, and a glass of wine was sifted for everyone.

After Wang Xiuguang saw that he showed his respect for Ye Ming with words and actions, Wei Qiang still didn't react, and did not politely give up his seat to Ye Ming, and secretly scolded "stupid pig" in his heart, suddenly picked up the cup and stood up, looked at Ye Ming with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Come, Director Ye, I toast you with a glass of wine, and wish you a successful career and a bright future!" ”

His move frightened the people in the box again: it stands to reason that if a leader like Wang Xiuguang takes the initiative to toast the first glass of wine, he should politely toast all the people in the box, and he should not stand up.

However, now he not only stood up to toast, but also took the initiative to salute Ye Ming, who was the youngest and youngest in the official position, which couldn't help but surprise Wei Qiang, Xu Fei and Ye Ming.

Ye Ming hurriedly stood up, picked up his wine glass and said, "Mayor Wang, I am a junior and a subordinate, I should respect you first!" You're so gracious. As a sign of my respect, you have one drink, I have three drinks, and I wish you all the best and every step of the way! I'll do it first! ”

So saying, he drank the glass of wine first, and then poured two more glasses of wine himself, one in a sip, and dried it happily.

Wang Xiuguang saw that he was not arrogant because he had a backstage and background, and he was very humble, polite, and face-giving to himself, the mayor who asked for him, and couldn't help but secretly admire, thinking that no wonder even Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee admired him so much, this young man really had something extraordinary.

So, with a relieved smile on his face, he also took a sip of the wine.

At this time, no matter how dull and wooden Wei Qiang is, he has already guessed that the deputy director of the Local Taxation Bureau next to him definitely has a background, and the origin is not small. Because he knows that people like Mayor Wang Xiuguang, who is a little high-minded and a little conceited, take the initiative to stand up and toast, and within the scope of K City, he is afraid that he will not be able to find a second one except Secretary Qing.

It was only at this time that he suddenly remembered: Not long ago, there was a rumor from the county party committee that there was a young man with a deep background in the county local taxation bureau, who was the godson of Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he was also deeply loved by Lu Zhiyao, secretary of the provincial party committee. It seems that the legendary mysterious young cadre should be this deputy sub-director named Ye Ming!
