Although it is called a private room, in fact, this box is equivalent to a medium-sized banquet hall, which can be turned into a stylish entertainment venue immediately after a meeting, which is one of the reasons why important government departments like to hold meetings here. Of course, the price is not cheap.

Therefore, at this time, there were quite a few people in the box, not only more than 30 officials from the Organization Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also more than 10 people from the French delegation who were invited to visit China, all of which added up to almost 50 people.

And the people who can participate in such a standard dinner are all officials with a certain level of status, so the arrival of Chen Yang, an uninvited guest, did not cause much surprise to the people present, in fact, there have been several groups of officials from other departments at the same level who also have banquet tasks at Hyatt tonight. However, when Minister Wang, the main person in charge of the banquet, introduced Chen Yang's name and position to the cadres, all the cadres at or above the department level present were still somewhat surprised.

Indeed, although those present were Jingguan officials who seemed to outsiders to have eyes on the top of their heads, and they were also cadres above the right position, none of them had even the slightest contempt for Chen Yang, a comrade who humbled himself as a local cadre.

Let's talk about the level first, Chen Yang, who has just turned 35 years old, has been transferred to the ministerial level as early as two years ago when he was the secretary of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, and looking at the entire banquet hall, only Vice Minister Wang and Vice Minister Lin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can get a little touched, of course. In fact, the gap between the two is definitely not something that can be described by a chasm.

Speaking of authority, it is said that the power in the hands of these middle and senior officials from the Organization Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here tonight is not small, and any one of the places outside is the material for the chief official, not to mention the energy of private activities, but whether it is people or goods, the most feared thing is comparison, Chen Yang, as one of the four major provincial-level cities, is the leader of the economic capital of China, and with all kinds of jokes and skills that he has circulated in the political arena, he can definitely be called the emperor of Huahai, a super metropolis with a population of more than 10 million. It's like an abyss. There is no comparison between the two at all.

Of course, the above two points are still secondary, and what made the hearts of the officials present beat faster was the title of the Central Committee-Alternate-Member on Chen Yang's head, although it was only an official title that had just been replaced. Among all the more than 200 members of the Central Committee, it is also in the lower ranks. But this is only because Chen Yang has not been in Huahai for a long time. I believe that at the Central Committee-Plenary Session at the end of the year, the word alternate will definitely be removed. All the cadres present undoubtedly had to face up to the reality that Chen Yang was a golden signboard and the huge energy of the faction behind him. Chen Yang is even very likely to be elected as a new member of the Political Bureau at the plenary session at the end of this year. In fact, except for Chen Yang's predecessor Gao Ming, who was more unlucky and untimely, the previous secretaries of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee were all one of the members of the political bureau, and the practice was just like this.

Therefore, if the people present can be called officials and cadres, then Chen Yang can undoubtedly only be called "leader".

As a result, everyone expressed a subtle and warm welcome to Chen Yang's visit, and the scenes that could be used in the officialdom and would never make Chen Yang feel the slightest disgust came like a scud missile from the first second Chen Yang entered the box. And the two substantive officials with Chen's background in the organization department were even more enthusiastic, as if Chen Yang had already sat on the number one. The Chief's throne usually frequently raised his glass to Chen Yang to toast, in fact, they also knew that Chen Yang might not know them, but there was no doubt that this was definitely an excellent opportunity to show his face in front of this Chen prince.

"Comrades are too enthusiastic, I'm going to hang up the free battle card, I appreciate everyone's kindness, but now please stop for a while, okay?"

After a round of red wine, Rao is a long-tested communist fighter Chen Yang took a small sip at most, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and he said again and again that he even secretly regretted why he came to this troubled water.

Vice Minister Qin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is proficient in five Chinese languages, and she is very gentle and dignified, and she still has a feeling of charm in her early fifties, but these are all superficial, but she is really a fierce woman who does not let her eyebrows go.

After seeing Chen Yang appear, she quickly forgot about her own work tonight, and immediately threw the dozen or so foreign friends in the box to Java without any burden of thought. And in the case that the leader has already paused for a moment, she is not afraid to take the lead, raised a glass full of red wine and said: "Secretary Chen, this is no wonder that the comrades are too enthusiastic, take these comrades of our second department as an example, in the middle of the year, we brought two American business groups to Huahai to visit and investigate, although Huahai's comrades are very cooperative and support our work, but it is a pity that when you finally held the celebration party, you said that you were busy with work and couldn't spare time, only saw Mayor Lin, and the big guy has long been looking forward to toasting you in person." to express your gratitude for your support of our work, there was no chance at that time, and you can no longer regret it tonight. ”

After that, as soon as she tilted her neck, a glass of red wine was easily poured into her stomach, and then she gently put the empty cup on the table, and looked at Chen Yang again with a smile.

Immediately, her heroic act immediately won full applause.

"Comrade Nan Ju, you are criticizing me for not doing my job well."

Chen Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's also quite funny, although Chen Yang's age is one round worse than Vice Minister Qin, but at this time, his condescending tone made the people present not feel the slightest strange, as if his age has been automatically ignored, and what everyone can remember is the series of official titles on his head that are so dazzling that people can't take their eyes away.

Minister Wang, the main person in charge of the banquet, also gloated at this time, and he seemed to have forgotten his work task tonight. Standing next to Chen Yang with a smile and watching the play. It is no wonder that although he is quite self-aware and knows that he and Chen Yang are not competitors at all, seeing high-level leaders being besieged by everyone at the wine table is undoubtedly a scene that low-level cadres like them eagerly want to see.

And Min Rou has also been quietly occupying an excellent position beside Chen Yang, at this time, she saw Chen Yang entering the house and was poured into the face, and then she was forced to the palace by this fierce Vice Minister Qin, but she didn't feel sorry for her man in her heart, and there was a smile on her face that made anyone see it, but her eyes were like a small knife on Chen Yang's face, which made her often dream of it. Hum. You know the big bad guy who swears, and I'll toast you a big glass later, no, two big glasses. Drink to death you're best!

In fact, she underestimated Chen Yang's drinking. In fact, as soon as I came in, I was beaten up and drank three or four glasses of red wine. But for Chen Yang, this bit of wine was completely trivial, and he was respectful of Vice Minister Qin on the other side. Naturally, Chen Yang could not snub these enthusiastic comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Picking up the wine glass, he was about to take a rare handful, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the cold gaze that was smiling at him beside him.

Hehe, this little girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, and her temper has grown!

He smiled slightly, immediately turned his head to look at Min Rou with a smile, and said: "Come, Comrade Min Rou, speaking of which, I have worked with you with the comrades here, and I can be called your old leader, Comrade Nan Ju's glass of wine, you can drink it for me, the old leader." ”

If it were on other occasions, Chen Yang's words could be said to be quite inauthentic, but in the officialdom, no one felt that it was inappropriate, and it was commonplace to let the people below drink and punish on behalf of the people at the wine table, especially letting female comrades drink on behalf of them, it was the only rule to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, not to mention letting a beautiful subordinate like Min Rou drink, it was definitely a scene that everyone was happy to see.

Don't look at Min Rou's usual kindness in the unit, and her popularity is quite good, but in some banquets in the ministry, she is very principled in the wine bureau, she can hide, she can escape, if she can't escape, then whether she clinks glasses with leaders or ordinary colleagues, it is a small sip of meaning, and the wine can be described as a mess.

Of course, with her big boss background, no one dares to really hold a grudge against this. Minister Wang was really forced by the French foreigner in front of him, and with Min Rou's repeated confrontations, he couldn't move the real fire.

But I don't remember it, but the big guys are holding back their strength and hoping that one day they can see the day when Min Rou is poured wine. In fact, to put it bluntly, no matter what the circumstances, it is a pleasing thing to see a big beautiful woman being drunk.

As for the Vice Minister Qin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who toasted Chen Yang, although he secretly felt a little regretful in his heart after seeing Chen Yang's external move, after all, if she could successfully force Chen Yang to make a big glass of wine with her tonight, it would definitely be one of the highlights of her future officialdom career, but there was no way, the official university crushed people to death, not to mention that there was a difference of 108,000 miles between her and Chen Yang, and at this time it could only be a secret regret.

Of course, having said that, Min Rou has repeatedly made foreign guests unable to come to the stage, as one of the heads of the organizers, her face is also quite unsightly, only because Min Rou is not a systematic person with her, she is not good at attacking, of course, she must be uncomfortable in her heart, this female comrade, if it weren't for the fact that you are not from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she would have been pulled out and criticized fiercely, and she really has no political consciousness at all.

In addition, Min Rou's beautiful appearance is also one of the reasons why Vice Minister Qin is unhappy with her, who stipulates that women in their early fifties are not qualified to compare?

Based on this dark heart, Vice Minister Qin has no opinion at all about Chen Yang letting Min Rou drink on her behalf, anyway, it is useless to have an opinion, it is better to watch this female cadre of the Organization Department who relies on her beauty and is not very good to suffer a loss.

When you clinked glasses with the French guests in the front, didn't you girl take a sip of it, hehe, how do you drink this big cup?

"Okay, since Secretary Chen is the old leader of Comrade Xiao Min, then Comrade Xiao Min can also bravely carry the burden with this glass of wine."

Vice Minister Qin said loudly with a smile, and said to the other comrades present very inflammatory: "The comrades have no opinions, right? ”

It's all old fritters, and the big guys are naturally very good.

Although Minister Wang has always maintained a cute smile, he didn't applaud, he was originally the absolute host of this dinner, but now that Chen Yang is here, he has to automatically and consciously retreat to the role of foil, which makes him feel slightly unhappy. But he also knows that Min Rou is Chen Yang's confidant nine times out of ten, didn't you Min Rou refuse to drink it even if you pushed it to death, and now that the old leader is here, this glass of wine wants to see if you Min Rou drinks it?

Minister Wang sneered in his heart with the mentality of watching a play, but Min Rou, who was pushed to the front desk by Leng Buding, was eager to bite Chen Yang, a bad guy, to death at this time, of course, her real alcohol consumption was so large that no one else present except Chen Yang knew about it.

After secretly glancing at Chen Yang with hatred, she generously took the big glass of red wine in Chen Yang's hand under the eager eyes of the colleagues who were waiting to see her show, and said with a chuckle: "Since the old leader has spoken, Xiao Min will definitely complete the task." ”

As soon as the words fell, she tilted her neck slightly, and drank it all in the same way.

Then, without changing her face, she put the cup on the table without a heartbeat.

The comrades who knew about her wine at the scene were all stunned at first, quite a little surprised to break through the glasses, after all, the good show they wanted to see was that Min Rou, the beautiful director, had to frown and barely drink the wine under the high pressure of the old leader, and then it was best to drink the wine immediately after drinking the emergency wine, and immediately turned around and ran to the bathroom to vomit, such a process is in line with everyone's psychological expectations, but now, Min Rou seems to be reborn, this

After a while, the scene erupted in a warm applause.

Minister Wang still didn't applaud, in fact, after a period of wide-eyed stunned, he immediately couldn't help but scold in his stomach, Xiao Min, Xiao Min, Nima, you specifically slapped me in the face, right? Do you call this unwell? Is that your incomprehensible strength? Or is it better to say that the words of the old leader are better than the words of the current leader?

However, before Minister Wang finished slandering, Min Rou immediately made another move that made his mouth open again into an O-shape.

I saw Min Rou quietly fill two large glasses of red wine again, took the initiative to raise them, and said to Chen Yang: "Secretary Chen, seeing that the old leader is coming, Xiao Min still understands the rules of standing up and taking a break, I respect you for this glass of wine, can you rely on it?" ”

After Min Rou finished speaking, she raised her glass and looked at Chen Yang with a smile on her face.

this

Chen Yang was stunned at first, but he didn't expect to be countered to the army.

However, he quickly adjusted, and looked at Min Rou with a noncommittal smile, but his eyes began to warn the other party.

Comrade Min Rou, don't play too much, isn't your butt itchy, look back at how I clean you up when I go home!

Min Rou ignored Chen Yang's warning in her eyes, still holding her glass with a smile. (To be continued......)
