Yan Lingguo's private club is not the most luxurious club in Huahai, but also the place where the princes and generals of the high society of Huahai flock to it, and it also has a very loud name, Huahai Club.

Chen Yang finally was reluctant to resist and joined this private banquet at noon, Yan Lingguo rarely held a drinking party at noon, and today can be regarded as an exception for him.

By almost twelve o'clock, there were already many guests in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet hall in the west building of the clubhouse. Although it was noon, the banquet hall was still lit up, and the velvet curtain next to it also made the banquet hall feel like it was day or night.

Chen Yang came to the banquet hall with Yan Lingguo all the way, but after entering the banquet hall, he was obviously no longer the protagonist of Yan Lingguo's greeting.

Chen Yang had often spent money on such occasions for business in his previous life, so he was no stranger, and at this time, a waiter with a plate passed by him, he casually took a glass of wine from the tray, and then found an empty sofa on the side, while drinking Martini with an average degree, while quietly observing these guests.

He knew very well in his heart that Yan Lingguo's purpose in inviting him to join this private party was nothing more than to help him establish a communication channel, so that he could have an initial contact with the Huahai Maritime Society, the so-called communication, coming and going is actually just such a tool, the identity of the Chinese New Year's Eve family is similar, people in a circle can sit together when they are free, drink a few glasses of wine" or dance a few dances, etc., basically many Chinese New Year's Eve business is negotiated on this occasion.

After he glanced at the high-rollers in the banquet hall with a cautious gaze, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, the Yan family is worthy of being a fourth-generation wealthy family" It can be seen from Yan Lingguo's social circle, among the guests invited by him, basically if it is not a business celebrity with a surname on the banquet list, then it must be a high-level person in Huahai's political circles, and even Chen Yang also saw an old acquaintance inside, this time he was a classmate when he studied in the provincial and ministerial-level cadre refresher course organized by the Central Organization Department, Guo Songbai, Propaganda Minister of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, all in all, Xiami can't come to this kind of occasion.

"Hey, why is Chen Yang here?" ”

Guo Songbai was not far from him, he was chatting with a few acquaintances at this time, and as soon as he turned his head, he also saw him, and immediately asked strangely, "Then he gestured to a few friends on the side, and immediately walked towards Chen Yang."

Chen Yang is actually not very familiar with this Minister Guo, and he has only been in a training class for a few months, but since he has met, he can't pretend that he doesn't know, so he quickly got up with a smile and "greeted him:"Hehe" Okay "Minister Guo, fortunately." ”

Guo Songbai smiled and hurriedly shook the hand handed over by Chen Yang: "Hehe, it's rare for Brother Chen to come over, and he didn't inform me in advance" If I hadn't just come here today, I wouldn't have known that Brother Chen had arrived in Huahai, Brother Chen, it's not my Old Guo, it's too inauthentic." ”

Guo Songbai politely snorted, Chen Yang just smiled lightly: "Minister Guo is too polite, I am here to accompany my family to walk around this time, and there is nothing serious, I am really embarrassed to disturb Minister Guo." ”

"Hehe, Brother Chen, it's just too outward, one of our classmates is rare to come here, this meal is not too much to save in the future, otherwise if other old classmates know in the future, I Guo Songbai will not leave."

Guo Songbai said with a smile, if you just listen to his enthusiastic words, you will really mistakenly think that he and Chen Yang are friends who have been friends for many years, but in fact, in vain, the two have been in the same class for three and a half months, and the relationship is very ordinary.

Chen Yang was quite annoyed by this kind of vain and gossip-headed polite words, but the Chinese New Year's Eve family were all pompous people, and although this Guo Songbai was only the propaganda minister, Huahai was a municipality directly under the central government, and the party committees of governments at all levels were half a level higher than those of prefecture-level cities.

Next, the two sat on the sofa again and chatted for a while about interesting things in the refresher class, because it did not involve specific work, but they also talked happily.

After chatting for a while, Guo Songbai suddenly lowered his voice a little and said, "By the way, Brother Chen, something happened to the old house in Jinxi, listen?" ”

"I heard that, alas......"

Chen Yang sighed, the old house that the two talked about was also a classmate in the class, called Fang Dongliang, who was originally the director of the Jinxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission, but as soon as the training class was completed, the news that this person was shuanggui came back to Jinxi, and Chen Yang didn't know much about the specific case, but he heard that it was related to a few coal bosses in Jinxi.

Guo Songbai was at the same table in the class with this old room that was lost by Shuanggui, and at this time he couldn't help but feel a little hindsight, and sighed lightly: "Alas, a few days ago when I was still in the party school, I noticed that the old room was a little worried, and I was suspicious all day long, but I didn't expect that it was not two months since I went back, and he was really found to have a problem, so we are now cadres, we can do anything, don't touch the money, if you are careless, you will lose all the plates." ”

Guo Songbai felt it, and Chen Yang also felt the same way, looking back now, it is obvious that it was not a good sign that this old house was sent to the Central Party School to join the training, I am afraid that someone will already move him at that time. In fact, Chen Yang's situation was similar at the beginning, after he left Xizhou, there were not a few people in Lingxi who wanted to use his crooked brains, but he had always been clean and self-conscious, not only could he not find any economic problems in him, but in the end he found out that Chen Yang had been an official in Xizhou for three and a half years, but he had not received a penny of salary, and his salary and allowance of nearly 8,000 yuan per month were directly transferred to the account of the deaf and dumb school in Xizhou City. Otherwise, this is still worth a lot of Chinese New Year's Eve.

was chatting, when a coquettish voice came from the side: "Minister Guo, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt first" I have something I want to report to you. ”

Chen Yang turned his head to look, but saw that it was a woman in her thirties with a pair of delicate facial features and a plump figure, this woman was wearing a well-fitting black women's suit, lined with a white shirt embroidered with lapels, "The clothes are very orthodox, and she looks a little like a professional woman, but when she looks at Guo Songbai, the spring faintly revealed between her eyebrows and eyes makes Chen Yang smell that the two seem to be a little vague, and he can't help but glance at Guo Songbai with some surprise."

No wonder, although it is a relatively private party here, if the guests bring their female relatives to attend, most of the Chinese New Year's Eve are with their own wives, and look at the appearance of the two eyebrows now" Obviously, this woman should be the female companion invited by Guo Songbai, but Chen Yang has seen this old Guo's wife, and knows that his wife is a typical obese official wife, definitely not the enchanting beauty in front of him.

Guo Songbai also seemed to sense that Chen Yang's eyes were wrong, "But he has been an official for many years, and his psychology is good, and the embarrassment on his face flashed, followed by the introduction of the Chinese New Year's Eve: "Oh, Brother Chen, let me introduce you" This is Director Yang of the General Office of our municipal party committee. "Then he introduced" "Yang" This Mr. Chen is ............" The words just began, but he hesitated, the class is all Chinese New Year's Eve from various provinces, and he is very well-informed, of course, he also knows that Chen Yang seems to have no official position now, so it is not easy to introduce at this time" After a pause, he vaguely introduced, "Hehe, Brother Chen Yang is a comrade from Lingxi Province. ”

When Director Yang heard this, he first glanced at Chen Yang, and secretly wondered in his heart, Guo Songbai, the old ghost, has always had a high corner of his eyes, and he is not Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is from the mountains of Lingxi, and he wants to come to the official and can't go anywhere on Chinese New Year's Eve, how can he be in the mood to be a brother and brother with such a young man.

With a smile on his face, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Chen Yang: "Hehe, I have been to Lingxi Province, the scenery is very beautiful, Mr. Chen knows that he is young and promising at a glance, and he is very happy to meet you." ”

Xian Yang smiled and shook her hand lightly, although Director Yang was very polite and enthusiastic, Chen Yang could still get some words from her Fang Feng's glance. It is no wonder that Lingxi Province is a poor area for the old and the young, and its economic strength is not comparable to Huahai, and it is normal for others to look down on it.

Soon, Guo Songbai gestured to Chen Yang and went to talk to Director Yang.

Just when Chen Yang could finally take a breath, at this time, there were suddenly three commotions in the originally lively banquet hall, which was actually not a commotion, but the guys on Chinese New Year's Eve were chatting happily, and suddenly the voices came down, which made Chen Yang feel a little strange.

He expected that it might be some Chinese New Year's Eve character who participated, and subconsciously cast a glance at the purpose marked at the door of the banquet hall, and sure enough, at a glance, he saw a thin face that he had only seen on TV last night, it turned out to be the number one in Huahai City, and Gao Ming, secretary of the municipal party committee, also took time to come over. What made Chen Yang even more frightened was that this secretary Gao was also a powerful figure on the powerful side, but he gave Yan Lingguo a lot of face, not only went to the appointment in person, but also brought his family, and his wife also came over.

Secretary Gao looks very distinctive, he is not like the general Chinese New Year's Eve leaders are more broad-hearted and fat, let alone Chinese New Year's Eve belly, but he is very strong and burly, the image is very decent, a little insufficient, his thick eyebrows Chinese New Year's Eve eyes, the nose is slightly hooked, although not as obvious as Hua Tsai, but still memorable.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang saw that the groups of high-rollers who were originally scattered all over the banquet hall were like flowing water, and there was a faint feeling of converging towards the target of Gao Ming's stride.

And Chen Yang just listened to Guo Songbai introduce many guests in the banquet hall, among which in addition to Guo Songbai himself, there were also three standing committee members, one of whom was Deputy Secretary Tang of the Municipal Party Committee Sharing Organization, and Director Qian of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the other was Secretary General Zheng Guohua, these people are all high-level cadres with great energy in Huahai, and now it seems that they should all be high-level people. Otherwise, with Yan Lingguo's old way, he would not be able to invite two unrelated people to this kind of private banquet, wouldn't that be adding to his own blockage.

Subsequently, Chen Yang saw Yan Lingguo as the host of the banquet, and walked over to greet Secretary Gao and his wife with a smile, at the same time, he also saw Yan Ming also following her father, after he had breakfast in the club, at the invitation of Yan Lingguo, he went to play a game of golf. There is a diamond necklace hanging on the white pink neck, which is very ladylike but has a bit of the taste of Shi Ran, not only that, but her pretty face that is so delicate that there are no flaws even put on a light evening makeup.

Chen Yang saw Yan Ming's costume, and Yan Lingguo was smiling at this time and introducing his baby daughter to the guests from time to time, so he vaguely figured it out, it seems that Yan Lingguo was eighty percent because of his daughter's return, so he engaged in such a private party, in addition to picking up the wind and washing the dust for his daughter, I am afraid that his main intention is also to introduce Yan Ming to some friends in the political and business circles, and in the end, Yan Ming is the future helmsman of their Yan family, and in the future, he will also hand over all the qiē resources in his hands to Yan Ming.

Because Chen Yang released Yan Ming's pigeon, he hadn't had time to explain it clearly, and when he saw Yan Yong also coming, he immediately had the idea of waiting and seeing, and naturally he couldn't take the initiative to come forward to greet him. He turned his body back slightly, then got up, and moved against the tide as if nothing happened, and when the Chinese New Year's Eve family gradually moved closer to the center of the Chinese New Year's Eve hall, he quietly walked towards the corner mark.

Because it is a private banquet, Yan Lingguo only provides an occasion for the Chinese New Year's Eve family to communicate and communicate, but there is no emcee, organization and the like, the Chinese New Year's Eve family gathers together to chat casually, drink some wine, and go to dance if interested, in short, it is a very relaxed occasion.

Yan Lingguo's father and daughter have been chatting casually with Gao Ming and his wife, Gao Ming has been re-elected as party secretary in Huahai, so the two seem to be very familiar with each other, and even Yan Ming seems to be very familiar with Gao Ming and his wife.

At this time, I saw that Gao Ming's always stiff thin face showed a rare trace of a respectful smile, looked at Yan Ming happily, and made a joke very heartily: "Hehe, Jie, after going abroad for so long, didn't you bring a boyfriend back to show your uncle?" What about the male companion, where is he hiding? ”

"Uncle Gao, what are you?" Yan Ming hung his head a little shy and smiled, and then he casually pointed to the side corner of the Chinese New Year's Eve: "Oh, where is my male companion!" ”
