According to the customs and habits of Jundu, the two positions facing south are considered to be the upper seats, that is, the so-called guest of honor, the right side is the top, Wang Xiaoliang's seat should be on the right, and Zheng Huamin intends to sit in the position on the left.

How do you sit in that position?

Standing next to this table, except for Liu Yan, all of them are leaders of Zhongzhou City, even if Zheng Huamin is thick-skinned and no one invites her, she is embarrassed to sit at the same table with the leaders, and even more embarrassed to sit directly on top of the leaders. No matter how close she is to Wang Xiaoliang, if she makes these people unhappy, she will still not have a good life.

Zheng Huamin thought about it and walked towards the restaurant.

"I'll come over and toast the leaders with two glasses of wine."

Zheng Huamin said as he squeezed to the seat to the left of the guest of honor seat and sat down, then looked at Liu Yan again, and said impatiently, "Where is the wine you arranged?" Hurry up and grab it. ”

Liu Yan pointed to Zheng Huamin's seat, where two bottles of Wuliangye were placed.

Zheng Huamin lowered his head, picked up a bottle of wine and put it on the dining table, and did not mean to open it immediately, but looked at the empty dining table, and then glanced at Liu Yan again, and said, "Why hasn't it been served yet?" Liu Yan, go to the kitchen and take a look, what's going on? Why is it so grinding to make a dish? ”

Liu Yan frowned, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Zheng Huamin kept sitting in that position, without the slightest intention of getting up.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

The position next to Wang Xiaoliang should be sat by Zhou Heping according to the customs of Jundu, and if it is according to the attention of Zhongzhou City, it should be sat by Liu Yan. Zheng Huamin sat there, obviously a little noisy.

As the saying goes, one mile is not customary, and ten miles change the rules. Although Jundu and Zhongzhou are only separated by more than 30 kilometers, there are still differences in hospitality. In Jundu, the seat facing the door is the first seat, and the right-hand seat is the guest of honor, this position should generally be sat by the oldest and longest person, and all the people who come today are people in the officialdom, this position should naturally be sat by Wang Xiaoliang, who has the highest official rank. Then according to the level of the position, one left and one right are sorted in order, and the position of the accompanying seat is opposite the first seat.

This is completely different from Zhongzhou City, in Zhongzhou City, the accompanying seat is next to the guest of honor, and the position where Zheng Huamin sits is according to the rules of Jundu City is to compete for the position with Zhou Heping, and according to the rules of Zhongzhou City, it is like the host.

Whether it is the rules of Zhongzhou City or the rules of Jundu City, Zheng Huamin naturally understands it, and she rushed to sit in that position, the purpose is to show off the friendship between her and Wang Xiaoliang in front of everyone. But in this way, the positions of the top leaders in Zhongzhou City and Jundu City are all below her, and if Zheng Huamin doesn't feel embarrassed at all, it is impossible.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zheng Huamin hoped that Wang Xiaoliang could come out of the kitchen quickly, and when everyone saw her and Wang Xiaoliang's affectionate appearance, they would understand what was going on.

After a while, Wang Xiaoliang came out of the kitchen, saw Zheng Huamin sitting in that position, couldn't help frowning, pulled out the chair next to the chair and sat down, and then patted the chair next to him and said to Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, you sit here." ”

Liu Yan sat down.

That position was originally arranged by Liu Yan to sit for him, but let Wang Xiaoliang also sit in the seat with him, Liu Yan felt that it was too unusual.

Everyone also had this idea, so after Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Yan sat down, the others still stood there and did not move. Wang Xiaoliang sat on the side seat, no matter where they sit, they were all on top of Wang Xiaoliang.

Therefore, Zhou Heping and these people don't know where they should be sitting.

Wang Xiaoliang waved his hand at Zhou Heping and said, "Sit down." ”

Zhou Heping and the others had to sit down in the position where they were standing, and there was nothing wrong with the position they each chose, it was Zheng Huamin who disrupted the order, looking at Wang Xiaoliang who was sitting under him, everyone's expressions were a little embarrassed.

The most embarrassing is Zheng Huamin.

Originally, she wanted to pretend that she didn't know the rules of the banquet, so she just casually found a place to sit down. But as soon as Wang Xiaoliang sat down, Zheng Huamin panicked. She originally wanted to sit with Wang Xiaoliang to grab that position, but now, Wang Xiaoliang is sitting in the bottom position. Will this make everyone think that in order to stay away from her, Wang Xiaoliang would rather be wronged to sit in the seat than sit with her?

Zheng Huamin glanced at everyone one by one, and judging from Zhou Heping's expressions, it was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with her.

Zheng Huamin really couldn't pretend anymore, so he stood up, patted the seat next to him and said, "Secretary Wang, come, you sit here." ”

Wang Xiaoliang waved his hand at Zheng Huamin and said, "No need, I'll just sit here." ”

"How's that going to work?" Zheng Huamin stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Xiaoliang across the dining table, "You are the leader, how can you sit below?" ”

Zhou Heping and the others rolled their eyes at Zheng Huamin at the same time, and said in their hearts: Don't you also know the rules of the banquet? Why are you so shameless!

Zheng Huamin couldn't care about it so much, and desperately dragged Wang Xiaoliang, if Wang Xiaoliang didn't give her this face, she had to insist on sitting next to Liu Yan, then she would be embarrassed today.

Wang Xiaoliang really didn't care about her face at all.

"Old classmate, don't toss anymore, I'm fine sitting here. It really doesn't matter to me that the main seat accompanies me, I mainly want to sit next to Liu Yan and talk to the children well. ”

Isn't that smacking her face? Zheng Huamin was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry at Wang Xiaoliang, so he had to vent his anger on Liu Yan.

Zheng Huamin came to this table, in fact, there is another purpose, that is, to make Liu Yan look good in front of Wang Xiaoliang.

Just now, Zheng Huamin had already discussed with Kong Fanjun and Li Siqi that when the banquet was about to end, in front of Wang Xiaoliang and several leaders of Zhongzhou City, he would create a little embarrassment for Liu Yan, making Wang Xiaoliang feel that Liu Yan was very unreliable. Now, Zheng Huamin had no choice but to stage this scene in advance.

"Liu Yan, I heard that you just told people everywhere that Secretary Wang is going to promote you to be the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee?"

Liu Yan's head suddenly became bigger, the conversation between him and several leaders just now was in the room, how did Zheng Huamin know?

Could it be that she eavesdropped on the conversation between them?

There is such a possibility, Zheng Huamin has always had the problem of listening to the root of the wall.

Now, Zheng Huamin took a bite back and said that he said this matter by himself. And he deliberately exaggerated the facts, saying that the deputy minister was a minister.

Liu Yan is really a little speechless, the people who know about this matter, except for himself, everyone else has been in the room all the time, and he is the only one who has left the room. In other words, only he has the opportunity and possibility to reveal the news.

Liu Yan instinctively asked: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Seeing that Liu Yan's questioning was not very sharp, Zheng Huamin said aggressively: "You don't care who I listened to, anyway, everyone knows about it now." Liu Yan, Liu Yan, how can you do this? Do you know how much of a bad impact it will have on Secretary Wang if you are so open-mouthed? ”

Zheng Huamin looked at Wang Xiaoliang with a sad look: "Secretary Wang has just come to work in Pingyuan Province, and his footsteps have not yet stood firm, if you talk nonsense like this, everyone will think that Secretary Wang has made wishes for people everywhere!" Didn't you smear Secretary Wang's face? ”

Liu Yan said lukewarmly: "You mean to say that Secretary Wang's principle is not a little worse than you?" ”

Zheng Huamin was stunned for a while, she understood Liu Yan's temper, in this case, Liu Yan was either silent or tried his best to argue, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yan quietly led the topic to Wang Xiaoliang, which caught Zheng Huamin off guard. The words she prepared in advance had a certain logic, and Liu Yan suddenly pulled the topic to Wang Xiaoliang, which completely disrupted the logic of her speech, and Zheng Huamin didn't know how to pick it up.

There was no way, Zheng Huamin had to use sprinkling to deal with the embarrassment in front of him:

"I'm talking about your problem now, what are you doing with Secretary Wang?"

Liu Yan glanced at Zheng Huamin casually, and said slowly: "Then you say, you say, you continue to talk about my problem." ”

Zheng Huamin sorted out his thoughts and said: "Even if Secretary Wang promised to let you serve as the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, this matter has not yet been approved by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, let alone issued an appointment document. If the other members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee knew that Secretary Wang was doing this, it was very likely that the motion would be rejected at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. After that, what prestige does Secretary Wang have in the provincial party committee? Have you thought about all of this for Secretary Wang? ”

Liu Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Comrade Zheng Huamin, are you digressing again?" You should talk about my problem, don't criticize Secretary Wang. Are you doing this to maintain Secretary Wang's image? Since you want to criticize me, you should find problems in me, for example, who did I disclose this information to, what was my motive for doing so, and how should people judge me as a person, my personal qualities, and my suitability to lead an organizational department. ”

Liu Yan's reminder completely disrupted Zheng Huamin's thinking, and she said angrily: "If you want me to say, you are not worthy of being the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at all." ”

"That's right!" Liu Yan smiled, "I myself feel that I am not capable of holding such an important position at all." What's more, I'm still a windy mouth when I was caught by you again, how can a person like me be qualified to lead an organizational department? In this regard, Secretary Wang really didn't think about it as well as you. ”
