In late June, Chen Mingyu, accompanied by a director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, came to Changcheng City to take up the post of deputy mayor and secretary of the working committee of the development zone.

After a set of step-by-step procedures, Chen Mingyu officially took office.

Although Chen Mingyu has the title of deputy mayor, in fact he is not in charge of the affairs of the city government, on the surface, the deputy mayor seems to be just to take care of his promotion, in fact, his power is all on the side of the development zone.

However, after Chen Mingyu's understanding, he learned that the Changcheng Development Zone had already been promoted to a deputy department-level unit, so the secretary of the Working Committee of the Development Zone was already a deputy department-level cadre.

Therefore, the title of this deputy mayor is, from a pragmatic point of view, a bit "redundant".

However, it is definitely better to hang the name of a deputy mayor, even if it is just a false name, than not to hang it.

Because of the name of the deputy mayor, the municipal government prepared an office for Chen Mingyu, but Chen Mingyu's main office is naturally in the development zone.

In the evening, the city government held a welcome banquet for Chen Mingyu, which was presided over by Executive Vice Mayor Song Jinguang, and Mayor Xu Qingyuan rushed over in the middle of the banquet.

The first time he met Xu Qingyuan, Chen Mingyu felt Xu Qingyuan's strength!

First of all, after Xu Qingyuan entered the big box, all the people stood up in unison, and applauded to welcome Xu Qingyuan, and Chen Mingyu naturally followed the others to stand up and applaud.

Immediately, Song Jinguang immediately gave up his seat, and after Xu Qingyuan sat down, he looked at the wine glass and said dissatisfiedly: "Today is a welcome banquet for Mayor Chen, how can you only drink with this small cup?" Let Mayor Chen see it, and think that our cadres in Changcheng are not enthusiastic! Change to a big cup! ”

Tian Hang, secretary general of the municipal government, immediately arranged for the waiter to change the big cup.

After the waiter poured them wine, Xu Qingyuan picked up the cup and said, "Mayor Chen, welcome to Changcheng, let's have one!" ”

Chen Mingyu looked at the two-and-a-half cup and felt a little embarrassed, although with Chen Mingyu's amount of wine, there was no problem in drinking this glass of wine, but he was afraid that after Xu Qingyuan opened this head, others would also toast themselves in the same way!

There are five deputy mayors here today, as well as three government secretaries, if each of these people toasts themselves so much, it will be more than two catties, he can't stand it!

Chen Mingyu would rather offend him than drink it hard, so he said: "Mayor Xu, thank you for your welcome!" However, I have a limited amount of alcohol, and I can't hold such a big glass! ”

Xu Qingyuan's face immediately turned pale, and he said coldly: "As the saying goes, wine depends on character!" If you can't even drink, how will you go about your work in the future? How will we build a team in the future? ”

Chen Mingyu said secretly, this Xu Qingyuan's strength is really well deserved, and on the first day, he gave me a big hat on his head!

Several other people also persuaded each other to let Chen Mingyu drink this glass of wine.

Although Chen Mingyu was unhappy in his heart, he was defeated by Xu Qingyuan's words, and if he insisted on not drinking, neither of them would be able to get off the stage.

For the sake of the overall situation, Chen Mingyu had no choice but to say: "Okay, since Mayor Xu said so, then I salute Mayor Xu with this cup!" I'll do it first! ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu drank the wine in one gulp.

Xu Qingyuan's face showed a look of satisfaction, but he just picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and put the wine glass down!

When Chen Mingyu saw this scene, although his face was silent, he was really angry in his heart!

"Hehe, Mayor Chen looks pretty good!"

"Mayor Xu has won the award, and my alcohol consumption is actually very average, and now I am a little dizzy."

"Mayor Chen is humble! You're young and drink a lot, and it seems that your future is really limitless, haha......"

At this time, Song Jinguang, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, also walked over with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Mayor Chen, although we have already touched glasses just now, the cups we used are too small, and it seems that we are not enthusiastic enough!" After Mayor Xu gave a demonstration, I felt very ashamed! So, Mayor Chen, we have to drink another one in a big cup. ”

Chen Mingyu said secretly, it's really this routine!

This time, Chen Mingyu was not ready to drink hard, so he stood up, smiled and said, "Mayor Song, I am flattered by your enthusiasm!" I have to drink this wine! However, I think that when I first arrived, I must be on par with Mayor Xu, not only in my work, but also in all aspects. So, Mayor Song, let's feel free to drink this wine, I'll come first! ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu took a sip of the wine glass, and then smiled and gestured to Song Jinguang.

Song Jinguang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Xu Qingyuan.

Xu Qingyuan had a mysterious smile on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Song Jinguang smiled and said, "Okay, feel free." ”

After Song Jinguang finished drinking, before he returned to his seat, Xu Qingyuan stood up and said, "You guys drink first, I still went out a little beforehand." ”

After speaking, he didn't even greet Chen Mingyu, and left directly.

Song Jinguang and the others stood up and sent Xu Qingyuan Gong out of the door as they had just now, but Xu Qingyuan didn't even look back, and walked out straight out.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but smile dumbly, although Song Jinguang and others were very respectful to Xu Qingyuan, Xu Qingyuan didn't seem to treat Song Jinguang and others as the same thing, to put it mildly, maybe in Xu Qingyuan's heart, Song Jinguang and others were just slaves.

In addition, Chen Mingyu also knew that his performance just now had offended Xu Qingyuan, but Chen Mingyu did not regret this, because in Guo Yuancheng's previous conversation with him, Guo Yuancheng had clearly told him that Xu Qingyuan did not want to transfer him to Changcheng, so the two of them had some disputes.

Therefore, Xu Qingyuan must have disliked himself from the beginning, and even blacklisted himself, so what difference does it make if he offends him or not?

After everyone returned to their seats, as Chen Mingyu had expected, the others toasted Chen Mingyu with large cups one after another, but because Chen Mingyu had already laid the groundwork before, he took a sip every time in the face of others' toasts.

Rao is like this, after drinking this round of wine, he is already a little dizzy.

It is conceivable that if he had been able to drink hard just now, it is estimated that he would have been poisoned by alcohol by now!

After that, they didn't stay long, and the meal was over.

After the banquet was dismissed, Song Jinguang even asked "regardless of his previous suspicions": "Mayor Chen, do you still want to do some entertainment activities, singing, dancing or something?" ”

Chen Mingyu hurriedly refused: "I'm sorry, Mayor Song, I've drunk too much today, but I can't sing or dance." Otherwise, if you go for leisure, I'll go back first. ”

"In that case, forget it. You're the protagonist of today, you're not going, what are we going to play, hehe. Chen Ju, can you still walk? ”

"It's still okay to walk, please rest assured Mayor Song."

"You live in the dormitory building of the working committee of the development zone, right?" Song Jinguang asked again.

"yes." Chen Mingyu nodded.

"Then let's go back together, it's not too far anyway, just take a walk and digest it. I'm in the neighborhood near you, so we're neighbors. Song Jinguang said with a smile.

Chen Mingyu originally wanted to take a look at the night view of Changcheng by himself, but Song Jinguang offered to go home with him, so he naturally couldn't refuse, so he said, "That's good." ”

So, the two of them walked home.

"Mayor Song, when I was drinking just now, I was really embarrassed. I really can't drink enough, and if I drink that glass of wine again, I guess I'll be ugly on the spot. ”

"Hey, don't say that. Actually, it's me who is wrong. You just drank a big glass of wine with Mayor Xu, and I didn't even let you rest, I just went over to toast you. Don't say it's you, I guess I can't stand it if I change to anyone. That's equivalent to drinking half a catty of high-altitude wine in one go, who can stand it! Fortunately, you didn't drink it, if you drink something, then I really can't help it! ”

Chen Mingyu could see that Song Jinguang was not hypocritical when he said this, but very truthfully!

In fact, through tonight's contact with Song Jinguang, Chen Mingyu has already seen that Song Jinguang is indeed a very down-to-earth person, although he is very respectful to Xu Qingyuan, but Song Jinguang is not an obvious servile person.

Perhaps, Xu Qingyuan is usually too strong, so Song Jinguang and others have developed the attitude of being submissive and respectful in front of Xu Qingyuan.

"Mayor Song, thank you for your understanding!" Chen Mingyu said sincerely.

Song Jinguang waved his hand and said, "Mayor Chen, do you know, in fact, I admire you." ”

"Admire me? Hehe, Mayor Song is joking, what do I have to admire? ”

"Hehe, you dare to sarcastically mock Mayor Xu tonight, just by virtue of this, I admire you very much!"

Although Chen Mingyu felt that Song Jinguang was quite realistic, after all, there was still too little contact, and things that knew people and faces but didn't know their hearts often happened, so he didn't answer this conversation, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Ah? I'm not sarcastic Mayor Xu! Oh, Mayor Song, you're talking about drinking, right? I'm not sarcastic about Mayor Xu, I'm really looking up to Mayor Xu, don't get me wrong! ”

Song Jinguang saw that Chen Mingyu was pretending to be stupid, so he didn't talk about it anymore, and said with a smile: "It seems that I think too much, haha!" ”
