"Who was talking to you just now?" asked Minister Zhang casually as he walked with Minister Wang to the elevator.

"Oh, it's Comrade Sun Xinpin, he just brought his family and friends here for dinner today. Minister Wang replied.

Sun Xinpin, Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately determined that the familiar back just now must be Li Peicheng.

"Xiao Qian and the others will inquire about which box Sun Xinpin is in. Minister Zhang instructed the small money that helped him carry the bag.

Minister Wang and the others couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Minister Zhang's gourd, so Minister Wang said in order to please Minister Zhang: "Minister Zhang, do you have something to explain to Sun Xinpin, I have his mobile phone number, I called him to see you, why bother Secretary Qian." ”

Without Li Peicheng here, Minister Zhang could naturally make a phone call and ask Sun Xinpin to come over. But Li Peicheng is a big man who even respects the old chief and invites him to a seat for a meal, and Minister Zhang himself has completely understood that Li Peicheng, a young man, is unfathomable and a mysterious person with great ability. Minister Zhang has sometimes felt that his body is surprisingly good in the past few days, and when he recalls the old chief's actions towards Li Peicheng, he has an indescribable sense of awe for Li Peicheng. Just like people, there is an innate awe and even fear of unknown and mysterious things.

"No need, just let Xiao Qian inquire. Minister Zhang waved his hand.

Minister Wang was shocked, so he couldn't say anything more.

After Li Peicheng and the others arrived, Professor He and Jiang Guoping also arrived after a while.

Jiang Guoping heard that the young man in front of him was the proud protégé that Professor He often mentioned, so he warmly shook Li Peicheng's hand and said: "Haha, Peicheng, I have admired your name for a long time, Lao He has been chanting in front of me several times, which makes my ears calloused." ”

Don't look at Li Peicheng's coaxing in Gemen and other places in the world, but in front of these few people in front of him, he has become an authentic junior, and he himself is willing to be this junior. Many times, Li Peicheng felt that only in front of Mr. He, Sun Xinpin and others would he feel that life was so real and warm!

People are like this sometimes, and after losing it, they will be especially nostalgic for what they once had.

When Jiang Guoping said this, Li Peicheng was a little embarrassed, shook his hand and said, "I have heard Uncle Jiang's name about it a long time ago, and I have heard about it from Teacher He and Uncle Sun. ”

Jiang Guoping let go of his hand and laughed at himself: "What kind of name am I, just a little secretary in the office." ”

"You little secretary is a high authority!" Sun Xinpin took over and said with a smile.

Jiang Guoping sat down, pointed at Sun Xinpin and scolded with a smile: "Lao He, tell me, he himself is going to take charge of a county with a population of 400,000, and if he still says this, isn't it obvious to ridicule me!"

Professor He still had a strong intellectual temperament and style, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "I'm just a teacher, don't show off in front of me!"

When Jiang Guoping and Sun Xinpin heard this, they immediately laughed and said: "The words of intellectuals are scathing and mean, and they will pretend to be high, and these officials are afraid of you people." ”

Seeing three big men who are old and have some status in society, talking and laughing casually, without any fear, Li Peicheng felt the strong friendship between them, and naturally forgot everything and integrated into this atmosphere full of warmth and joy.

Li Peicheng sat under him because he was a student of Professor He, and when he saw that Professor He drank a lot of tea in his cup, he took the initiative to add some to him, and by the way, he added it to Sun Xinpin and others, but when it was added to Jiang Guoping, Jiang Guoping stood up exaggeratedly and said: "Hey, let one of your doctoral students pour me tea, I am terrified!"

When Professor He saw it, he pointed at Jiang Guoping with a smile and said to Li Peicheng: "Lao Jiang is sitting in the office, and the amount of wine is very good, don't let him drink more of this tea, and you can help the teacher to respect him a few more cups, so as not to make him poor here." ”

Li Peicheng said with a smile: "Since the teacher ordered, I will definitely toast a few more glasses later." ”

Jiang Guoping seemed to have a good amount of alcohol, so he smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything modest.

Soon the wine and food came up, because they were all their own people, and the food was also very casual, unrestrained, and happy.

However, Li Peicheng's physical fitness is good, Jiang Guoping can't beat him even if he knows how to drink again, seeing that Li Peicheng respects him with a sip of red wine, he is a little panicked, and then refuses to clink glasses with Li Peicheng, which makes Professor He and Sun Xinpin laugh, and praises Li Peicheng for them.

Sun Xiaoxuan felt very proud when she saw Li Peicheng being so appreciated by the elders, and her big eyes secretly cast Li Peicheng's affectionate gaze from time to time.

In another box, all the leaders of the city and province were present. This is because the study class of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee is specifically aimed at department-level cadres in Hangzhou, and it will start next week. Secretary Lin of the Municipal Party Committee specially invited two leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary Feng of the Provincial Party Committee, who is also the principal of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, and Minister Zhang of the Organization Department.

After drinking for a while, Minister Zhang was worried about Li Peicheng, so he got up and said: "I have a friend who is also drinking here, I'll go say hello and miss the party!"

As a secretary, Xiao Qian did not have a special arrangement from Minister Zhang, so he would not be able to serve at such a banquet. In the absence of the secretary, Minister Wang indirectly became Minister Zhang's subordinate, and immediately got up to accompany Minister Zhang.

Li Peicheng never expected that Minister Zhang would come to the door, he wanted to wait for this banquet to find an opportunity to talk to Sun Xinpin, but now it seems that it is too late, so he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and this time he saved an explanation.

Minister Wang, except for Professor He, who doesn't know him in this room, everyone else knows him, and Jiang Guoping meets him every day. As for Minister Zhang, he knew three people, Sun Xinpin, Jiang Guoping, and Li Peicheng.

When Sun Xinpin and Jiang Guoping saw the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the head of the organization department personally coming in with a wine glass, they were so shocked that they almost couldn't hold their chopsticks steadily, and hurriedly stood up.

When the others saw Sun Xinpin and Jiang Guoping standing up, they all hurriedly stood up.

Li Peicheng had no choice but to hold his wine glass, and said to Minister Zhang who walked towards him with a smile: "What a coincidence, my brother is also here!"

As soon as Li Peicheng's words came out, everyone was shocked, especially the political axe officials who knew Minister Zhang's identity were so shocked that their jaws were about to fall to the ground.

There are only a handful of people in Zhejiang who can call Minister Zhang so casually, and there are only a few young people like Li Peicheng.

Minister Zhang smiled: "I saw you outside the door just now, and you entered the elevator before I had time to say hello." Knowing you're here, I'm going to have a drink with you!"

Li Peicheng smiled, touched the glass with Minister Zhang, and drank the wine in the cup. Minister Zhang also drank it all, there was no wine left, and his attitude was very modest, a bit like a subordinate toasting his superior.

Minister Wang was shocked when he saw it, just now at the wine table over there, Minister Zhang has always been drinking lightly, but he drank a big glass without saying a word to this young man, and his attitude is so modest, I really don't know what the origin of this young man is. Could it be that the son of a certain leader of the central government is not successful?

After Li Peicheng had a drink with Minister Zhang, he helped the two sides introduce each other.

Minister Zhang sold Li Peicheng's face and touched the glasses with everyone one by one.

Professor He is a professor in the school, and his identity is relatively detached, although he still behaves very naturally in the face of Minister Zhang, neither humble nor arrogant. But Sun Xinpin and Jiang Guoping are people in the officialdom, so it is a little unnatural, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of Organization are figures in the province who hold real power, and even more power than ordinary vice governors. For petty officials like them, who are waiting to be promoted, this official seems even more unattainable to them.

After clinking glasses with everyone, Minister Zhang touched a glass with Li Peicheng with a little apology, and said, "A few colleagues drink together, go over first." ”

"Hehe, brother, get busy!" Li Peicheng said with a smile.

After Minister Zhang left, the atmosphere in the box immediately became very strange, no one spoke, and they all looked at Li Peicheng with strange eyes, only Sun Xiaoxuan was slightly better. She saw that the atmosphere in the box was strange, so she secretly asked Xia Han, "Is that Minister Zhang very big?"

Xia Han nodded and said, "It's about the same as the vice governor." ”

When Sun Xiaoxuan heard this, she stuck out her little tongue and thought to herself, so isn't her brother's senior brother also very big.

Li Peicheng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't look at me like this! I was going to find time to talk to my uncle about this, but I didn't expect to meet him here unexpectedly." ”

Of course, Sun Xinpin wouldn't blame Li Peicheng for not telling him in advance, and he didn't dare to blame him now. Li Peicheng, who can be called a brother and sister to Minister Zhang, where can he be blamed by Sun Xinpin!

"I really didn't expect you to know Minister Zhang! It seems that my promotion this time must have been done by you to help Minister Zhang. Sun Xinpin sighed.

Li Peicheng could hear Sun Xinpin's exclamation with gratitude, but at the same time, it was also unfamiliar. This is also the reason why Li Peicheng has not made this matter clear for a long time, he knows that once he finds out, the relationship between him and the Sun family will definitely not be as cordial and casual as before, except for Sun Xiaoxuan.
