In the afternoon, Tian Zhiqian arranged for Xiao Jian to make a business statistics report for the first half of the year, and asked Xiao Jian to hand it over to him tomorrow morning.

Xiao Jian was already familiar with making business reports, and it would be done in a short time, but he remained silent and prepared to hand it over to Tian Zhiqian the next morning.

Xiao Jian knows that the work can never be done, and the more capable people are, the more work the leader arranges, because the leader is easy to use. Those who are cheating and cheating, the leaders often do not make arrangements, but live a relaxed life.

Director Hou of the office informed Xiao Jian to have dinner at the Municipal Party Committee Guest House at half past six in the evening, saying that it was arranged by the leaders of the bureau and that the unit welcomed new colleagues. Director Hou asked Xiao Jian to inform Zheng Xuan by the way, and Xiao Jian found out that Zheng Xuan had not arrived at the unit yet.

Xiao Jian called Zheng Xuan to tell him about the situation, and Zheng Xuan said that he was still on the long-distance bus and would not arrive until more than 4 o'clock.

Xiao Jian secretly thought that he and Zheng Xuan had reported in advance, and this reception banquet had also been advanced.

Xiao Jian asked Director Hou for the contact book of the unit in the afternoon, and looked at the list above, most of the names were familiar to him, but only a few contract employees were not clear to themselves.

After work, the employees left the office building one after another. Xiao Jian took the commuter bus on time according to Director Hou's notice. Xiao Jian got into the car and found that only the leaders of the unit and the heads of various departments participated in the dinner.

Xiao Jian then thought about it, this is normal, although the management of the "three public funds" was not so strict more than ten years ago, but if all the employees of the unit participated, the scale of those dozens of people was still a bit eye-catching in the municipal party committee guest house.

The commuter bus was parked in the guest house, and the leaders and colleagues of the unit got off one after another and entered the private room on the second floor of the banquet hall.

Xiao Jian entered the private room, which had a lot of space, and in the middle was a large dining table that could accommodate 20 people. There are two automatic mahjong tables next to it, and there is also a bathroom in the private room. Xiao Jian saw some cold dishes on the table, and there were wine dispensers and wine glasses in front of everyone. After arriving at the restaurant, Director Hou informed the waiter to start serving hot dishes.

Director Cao sat down straight at the door of the dining table.

As soon as he sat down, Director Cao said: "Our unit has not entered the unit for many years, and this time it is because the provincial department takes special care of us that we are given two places. Calling everyone to eat together today is to catch the wind for Xiao Xiao and Xiao Zheng. ”

"Come on, come on, you two come and sit", Director Cao said as he beckoned Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan to come over and sit next to him. ”

Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan looked at each other, both standing in place and not moving.

At this time, Director Zhang sat down across a seat on the right hand side of Director Cao: "Director Cao asked you to sit down, today you are the protagonist."

Director Ling also said: "You two sit next to Director Cao, and we will sit next to you."

Xiao Jian was no longer humble, and it would be too hypocritical to excuse himself, and he sat down in the empty seat between Director Cao and Director Zhang.

Zheng Xuan watched Xiao Jian sit down, and also sat down next to Director Cao's left hand.

Director Ling sat next to Zheng Xuan, and the others also sat down one after another, as if everyone knew their seats, and sat down in a very orderly manner.

Only then did Xiao Jian know that there was also Chen Gang, secretary of the party committee of the organ, who was also a member of the party committee, but he was ranked last. Chen Gang is in charge of party building, spiritual civilization construction and other work, Xiao Jian did not have much contact with Chen Gang in his previous life, so he was not impressed.

After everyone sat down, Director Hou called the waiter to pour the wine. Xiao Jian saw that what he drank today was Jiangzhou alcohol, which was considered a medium wine in the Jiangzhou market.

At this time, Director Cao said, "Do you beauties want to drink some wine today?" ”

Xiao Jian noticed that there were three women attending the dinner today, namely Fan Ying, head of the finance section, Wang Yuanyun, chief of the personnel section, and Zhan Mei, head of the economic information section.

All three of them said they couldn't drink alcohol and asked the waiter to put away the glasses.

Director Cao smiled and said, "Section Chief Wang, you want to drink some, you're fine."

Wang Yuanyun looked at Director Cao and smiled charmingly, and said: "Director Cao knows how to bully people, and the two of them don't drink, oops, it seems that I am the only one who sacrifices my life to accompany the handsome guy today."

Section Chief Wang's voice made Xiao Jian get goosebumps. Xiao Jian remembered that he had heard someone say before that Section Chief Wang and Director Cao had some unclear relationship.

Director Cao raised the wine glass: "Everyone fill the wine glass, our Jiangzhou rules, serve three glasses of wine first, this first glass of toast to the two new handsome guys in our unit, the two young people have added vitality to our unit and added fresh blood." ”

Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan hurriedly raised their wine glasses and stood up, and Director Zhang said beside him: "Sit and drink, and drink again with your butt raised." It's okay if you want to stand, but you have to stand and drink and sit."

When they heard this, they smiled, sat down and drank their wine.

After everyone drank the first cup, they began to move their chopsticks.

After eating a few times, Director Cao picked up the cup again: "The second cup, I hope you will work and live happily in Jiangzhou and take root in Jiangzhou as soon as possible", Director Cao especially put the emphasis on the word "rooted".

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Jian also smiled awkwardly.

Director Cao picked up the cup for the third time: "The third cup, salute all the brothers and sisters here." Everyone has worked hard. ”

After Director Cao finished drinking, he looked at Liu Gang and Tian Zhiqian and said, "Today, Liu Ke and Tian Ke want to pay a good respect to the new colleagues in your department, you two are really affordable this time."

Liu Gang smiled and said: "Thank you Director Cao for your concern and help us solve the employment problem, and we must pay attention to it for a while."

Tian Zhiqian didn't speak, and laughed dryly.

After drinking three cups, Director Cao said: "Now everyone can play freely, take revenge if you have revenge, and hold on to your grievances." ”

He turned to Xiao Jian and said, "I'm starting to play Zhuang now, starting with Xiao Xiao." Xiao Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, you are from Dingxi Province, right? ”

Xiao Jian hurriedly responded: "Yes, Cao Ju." ”

Director Cao smiled and said: "Dingxi people have a very strong drinking style, you must be fine with a pound, right?" ”

"No", Xiao Jian hurriedly waved his hand, "You can drink two or three taels at most."

"Generally speaking, it is at least half a catty to drink two or three taels," Director Cao continued.

Xiao Jian laughed awkwardly twice.

"Come, I salute you for this cup, it's not easy to come so far to support the construction of Jiangzhou. . Director Cao drank it all.

Xiao Jian hurriedly stood up, raised his cup and drank it.

Director Cao had another drink with Zheng Xuan.

Then Director Zhang, Director Ling, and Secretary Chen Gang had a drink with Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan.

Several leaders drank a few more glasses with each other.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Jian hurriedly ate a few bites of food. He knew that the toast to the leader must wait for the leader to finish before it can begin, and it must be toasted one by one according to the size and order of the level, and he can no longer start directly as reckless as a stunned young man.

However, because the reason for today's dinner was to catch the wind for the two of them, Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan could start before other middle-level cadres. Xiao Jian saw that several leaders were almost respectful, he picked up the wine glass with one hand, held the bottom of the glass with the other, stood up and said to Director Cao: "Director Cao, Xiao Xiao respects you with a glass and thanks for your care." ”

Director Cao said: "You respect Zhang Bureau first, I am not in charge of you, he is your leader in charge." ”

Xiao Jian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned to Zhang Xiaojun.

Zhang Xiaojun said: "You respect the Cao Bureau first, and you must respect the boss first."
