When everyone finished dinner and walked out of the canteen box, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Wu Aiguo looked at Wei Changjiang and the others, who were already seven or eight points drunk, and politely asked Wei Changjiang and the others, "Director Wei!" Director Lin! Director Li! Mr. Zhang! I live in Nanluoguxiang, and if the leader is on the way with me, he can take my car back. ”

When Wei Changjiang heard Wu Aiguo's words, he smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism! Lao Lin and they all live near my house, they can take a car with me, you can go back and rest early! ”

When Wu Aiguo heard Wei Changjiang's answer, he didn't insist on sending everyone anymore, and said with a smile: "Leaders! Then I'll go back first, and we'll have a chance to meet again later. ”

After Wu Aiguo said goodbye to everyone, he walked quickly to his jeep, and drove out of the No. 76 compound under the eyes of everyone.

When he learned that Wu Aiguo was a department-level cadre, Lin Shuming instinctively thought that Wu Aiguo was a disciple of a big courtyard, but now he saw Wu Aiguo leaving in a car, which made Lin Shuming even more convinced of his conjecture.

After Wei Changjiang saw Wu Aiguo is car driving out of the gate, he left to greet his three old comrades-in-arms and said, "Lao Lin! Lao Zhang! Lao Li! It's not too early, let's go back too! ”

"Old Wei! What is the situation of your Director Wu, who even drove a special car? Li Xin saw the scene in front of him, with a shocked expression on his face, and asked Wei Changjiang curiously.

Lin Shuming heard Li Xin's inquiry, and without waiting for Wei Changjiang to answer, he said with a smile: "Old Wei! If I'm not mistaken, you, Director Wu, should be a big yard disciple, and the car he drives must be his father's car. ”

Wei Changjiang, who was already slightly drunk, heard Lin Shuming's speculation, saw the curious expressions of several old comrades-in-arms, and thought of the reason why he invited Wu Aiguo to dinner today, his face showed an expression of envy, and he asked the three old comrades-in-arms with a smile: "Lao Li!" Lao Lin! Lao Zhang! If I say that Wu Aiguo was born into a family of ordinary workers, will you believe what I say? ”

"How is this possible, Wu Aiguo looks like he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old at most, at his age, not to mention the deputy department level, it is already a great thing to have a deputy department, let alone drive a special car." When Zhang Zhen heard the news revealed by Wei Changjiang, an incredible expression appeared on his face, and he immediately refuted what Wei Changjiang said.

Lin Shuming heard Zhang Zhen's rebuttal, nodded approvingly, and then said, "Old Wei! I think Lao Zhang is right, if Wu Aiguo was just born in an ordinary worker's family, how could he be promoted so quickly, and he is also equipped with a special car, do you think this is possible? ”

"Old Wei! Lao Lin and Lao Zhang are right, if Wu Aiguo has no background, how can he become the deputy director of your unit, the real power, and preside over the work of a place as the deputy director? Li Xin heard the views put forward by the two old comrades-in-arms, thought of Wu Aiguo's position, and immediately questioned Wei Changjiang's statement.

Wei Changjiang was not surprised when he saw that the three old comrades-in-arms did not believe what he said, because when Wu Aiguo was just transferred to No. 76, he also held the same opinion, and it was precisely because of this view that he did not contact Wu Aiguo in private.

Later, with the passage of time, Wei Changjiang realized that his original judgment was wrong, and the reason why Wu Aiguo was transferred to No. 76 to work was not to come to No. 76 to be gilded, but to have a strong work ability, and many of the work in No. 76 even revolved around Wu Aiguo.

Although Wei Changjiang already knew that Wu Aiguo was very capable, but because he was a leader, Wei Changjiang did not deliberately get closer to Wu Aiguo, and it was not until this morning that he went to visit his old leader, Wei Changjiang changed his mind and personally invited Wu Aiguo to have dinner together.

Faced with the questions raised by his old comrades-in-arms, Wei Changjiang replied with a smile: "Lao Li! Lao Zhang! Lao Lin! To tell the truth, when Wu Aiguo was just transferred to our unit, I had the same idea as you, thinking that Wu Aiguo relied on his family background to come to our unit to gild. ”

"But as time passed, I realized that I was a little preemptive in watching, especially this morning, when I went to greet the old leader, I accidentally saw a group photo of the Chinese New Year's Eve welcome dinner in the old leader's office, and I realized that I far underestimated Wu Aiguo's ability."

"What! Old Wei! Do you want to tell us that Wu Aiguo also went to this year's welcome dinner? When Li Xin heard Wei Changjiang's introduction, an incredible expression appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to ask Wei Changjiang.

Wei Changjiang heard Li Xin's inquiry, nodded subconsciously and replied, "Lao Li! As you can imagine, I saw Wu Aiguo in that group photo, and in the photo, he was standing behind Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji. ”

"How is this possible? Not to mention the deputy department level, even if it is at the department level, or even at the ministerial level, it may not be qualified to participate in the welcome dinner, how can Wu Aiguo, a young man in his early twenties, be qualified to participate in this kind of dinner. Zhang Zhen heard Wei Changjiang's introduction, and refuted Wei Changjiang's words with an incredible face.

Zhang Zhen's reaction was completely expected by Wei Changjiang, because if he hadn't seen the photo with his own eyes, even if he was killed, Wei Changjiang would not believe that all this was true.

In the face of Zhang Zhen's rebuttal, thinking that Wu Aiguo was young and had the qualifications to participate in the welcome dinner, Wei Changjiang said to Zhang Zhen with envy: "Old Zhang! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a fantasy like you. ”

"But the facts are the facts, if you don't believe it, you can go to the old leader's office and have a look, and then you will know if I am fooling you."

The three of them are all old comrades-in-arms of Wei Changjiang for many years, and they have more or less understanding of Wei Changjiang's character, although they still feel that this matter is a bit unbelievable at this time, but in their hearts, they still choose to believe what Wei Changjiang said.

Thinking that Wu Aiguo was young and qualified to participate in the welcome dinner, Lin Shuming's face showed an envious expression, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This Wu Aiguo's ancestor doesn't know what virtue he has accumulated?" is actually qualified to participate in the welcome dinner, just by virtue of this, Wu Aiguo's future future must be immeasurable! ”

"Old Wei! Thank you for inviting us over for dinner tonight, I will keep your intentions in my heart. When Zhang Zhen heard Lin Shuming's emotion, he immediately guessed the reason why Wei Changjiang called them to dinner tonight, and expressed his gratitude to Wei Changjiang with a grateful face.

Wei Changjiang heard Zhang Zhen's thanks and replied with a smile: "Old Zhang! We have been old comrades-in-arms for many years, and when you say this, you are a little rusty. ”
