pinnacle of power

After Liu Qingyu returned to his office from the Civil Affairs Bureau, his anger was still lingering in his heart. He secretly thought that he had just taken office and had never dealt with the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Why did Duan Haifeng target him?Liu Qingyu couldn't understand this matter no matter how he thought about it.

However, Liu Qingyu also knew that he didn't need to worry now. Since Duan Haifeng wanted to target him, after he taught Duan Haifeng a harsh lesson, the person behind the scenes would definitely show up.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Liu Qingyu's office, and Liu Qingyu said in a deep voice, "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Yi Chengjie walked in with a smile on his face: "Director Liu, I was entrusted by the deputy directors of the Municipal Bureau to invite you, because today is your first day officially taking office, so the Municipal Bureau The party committee decided to hold a welcome banquet for you tonight, and all the middle and high-level members of the bureau will attend. Do you think you have time to attend?"

Hearing that he was invited to the welcome dinner, Liu Qingyu didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's no problem, I have to attend, but let's talk about it first, now the country is vigorously promoting the eight Our leading cadres must take the lead in implementing the regulations, and we must not eat or drink with public funds. Therefore, today's dinner will be hosted by me personally, and you will be responsible for the arrangements. The specifications of the banquet should not be too rich, nor too shabby. , plus drinks, just arrange according to my two months' salary."

Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, Yi Chengjie quickly said: "Director Liu, this is unavoidable. The leaders of the bureau have agreed that we will definitely not eat and drink with public funds, but the welcome dinner must be held. , you are a guest from afar, no matter what, I can't let you come to treat me."

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "It's okay. It's not easy for everyone to earn money. I'm different from everyone. Before I entered the official career, I had already accumulated enough wealth to enjoy my whole life. The money for banquets is still good for me. It's trivial. Let's arrange it like this."

Yi Chengjie didn't say much when he heard the words. After he went out, he went directly to the office of Cai Baoshan, the executive deputy director, and reported Liu Qingyu's meaning to Cai Baoshan. Cai Baoshan was stunned when he heard the words, and then dismissed He said with a smile: "Huh, this Liu Qingyu always engages in such formalistic things, which can be regarded as a strange thing. If he wants to do this, he can do it according to his wishes. These are not the point. The real point is Tonight's banquet, I want to see how Liu Qingyu will deal with the unique banquet in Lanshan City tonight."

Yi Chengjie nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and flattered him: "Cai Ju is still far-sighted. I don't think Liu Qingyu will have stomach bleeding tonight. We need to let him know. Do things well, and if you don't maintain a good relationship with you, Bureau Cai, he can't do anything."

Cai Baoshan smiled triumphantly, but stopped talking.

The dinner was arranged in a private room in a farmyard not far from the compound of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. When Liu Qingyu came over, the party committee team of the Lanshan Public Security Bureau and some important middle-level cadres had all arrived.Everyone sat at three tables, and the cold dishes had already been served, but none of them moved their chopsticks, they were all waiting for Liu Qingyu.

After Liu Qingyu entered the room, Cai Baoshan, who was sitting on the left side of the guest seat, immediately applauded first, and then everyone else followed Cai Baoshan's applause. At the same time, everyone also applauded. He stood up and looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile.

Cai Baoshan even stood up and greeted him: "Ju Liu, thank you very much for giving our subordinates the face to attend today's dinner, please take a seat."

While talking, Cai Baoshan was all smiles, looking very enthusiastic, and the others were also smiling to greet Liu Qingyu.

Liu Qingyu smiled and shook hands with Cai Baoshan. Naturally, he didn't need to be polite, and sat directly on the seat of the guest of honor. After all, he was not only the host of today's dinner, but also the person with the highest official position in the whole banquet. .No one will say anything more when he sits in this position.

After Liu Qingyu was done, the waiter immediately came forward, smiled and poured a glass of wine into everyone's wine glasses, but placed three wine glasses in front of Liu Qingyu, and poured them all. full.

At this time, Cai Baoshan picked up a glass of wine with a smile and said, "Director Liu, are you puzzled by the three glasses of wine in front of you?"

Liu Qingyu nodded with a smile, he was indeed a little shocked by the three glasses of wine in front of him.

Cai Baoshan continued: "That's it, Director Liu, these three glasses of wine are all for you. Before we officially drink today, please drink up these three glasses of wine first. This is our Lan The rules of the Public Security Bureau of Shan City. As the saying goes, if you have deep feelings, you will sip it, and if you have shallow feelings, you will lick it. If you have feelings for us in Lanshan City, you will drink it all in one gulp."

After finishing speaking, Cai Baoshan looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile on his face.

Liu Qingyu was stunned at that moment.He didn't expect to encounter such a battle today.One bite of food, three glasses of wine as soon as the person arrives, if it is an ordinary person, the banquet after that may have passed out before the official start, how can the banquet continue?Liu Qingyu didn't know if there was such a rule in Lanshan City, but now that Cai Baoshan said so in front of so many people, there are rules if there are no rules.And what made Liu Qingyu feel angry and upset the most was that this kid actually set a hat for these three glasses of wine. If he has feelings for Lanshan City, he can drink it in one gulp. If you are emotional, then you don’t need to drink it.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense.Everyone knows that since Cai Baoshan became the executive deputy director, every time the new director of Lanshan City takes office, he will play this trick of three cups of wine. If the new director does not drink, then the new director will I lost face in front of all the middle and high-level people in the public security system of Lanshan City. If I drank it, even if I drank these three glasses of wine with the capacity of an average person, I am afraid that it would be difficult to cope with the next round of toasting. Because next, Cai Baoshan's trick starts with him, and everyone takes turns to toast Liu Qingyu.

For those middle-level cadres, Liu Qingyu can naturally lick them and give a signal, but for the Party Committee of Lanshan City Public Security Bureau, if Liu Qingyu just licks them, it may cause other people to be unhappy Yes, but if he really had a toast with every party committee member of the bureau, then Liu Qingyu must be drunk.After all, that glass of wine is more than three or two, and a bottle of wine can exactly pour three glasses.The Lanshan City Public Security Bureau has a total of 9 members of the bureau's party committee. Except for Liu Qingyu, there are eight other people. One catty, this is three catties and four liang of wine.After three catties and four ounces of wine, even a person with a large drinking capacity is still very difficult to do.

However, this first round is just the beginning. When it comes time to toast freely, at least Liu Qingyu will suffer the second round of attacks. So far, no director can last until the second round.

Everyone knew that this time, Cai Baoshan repeated his old tricks, and he definitely wanted to use this wine game to give Liu Qingyu a bad start.

It depends on how Liu Qingyu will accept the move next.

All eyes were focused on everyone.

Liu Qingyu scanned the audience, and he could see everyone's expressions.He noticed that everyone's expressions were very interesting, some gloated, some were full of sympathy and pity, and so on, but they all had one characteristic in common. No one believed that Liu Qingyu could take over today's situation. Second wine bureau.

Liu Qingyu's eyes finally fell on Cai Baoshan's face, and said with a smile: "Comrade Cai Baoshan, are you sure that the three glasses of wine rule you mentioned is the rule of my Lanshan City Public Security Bureau?"

Cai Baoshan smiled, and said sincerely, "Director Liu, if you don't believe me, you can ask the comrades here, everyone's eyes are sharp."

Liu Qingyu nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, since Comrade Cai Baoshan said so, if I quit these three glasses of wine, I am afraid everyone will say that I, Liu Qingyu, have no feelings for our Lanshan City. It’s absolutely impossible not to drink, but, although I can drink these three glasses of wine, I have something to say after drinking it.”

Cai Baoshan naturally wouldn't care what Liu Qingyu said next when he heard the words, because he knew that if it was an ordinary person, even if he had a good capacity for alcohol, if he drank three consecutive glasses before eating, he might not be able to drink a catty of wine. It's hard to bear.Therefore, Cai Baoshan said with a smile: "Okay, no problem. Director Liu can say anything after drinking these three glasses of wine. Director Liu is Director Liu. He is indeed young and promising, and he is a role model for us!"

"Yes, Director Liu is our role model!" Everyone else echoed Cai Baoshan.

Seeing this kind of situation, Liu Qingyu has already realized that among the many cadres of the Lanshan City Public Security Bureau, Cai Baoshan's prestige is probably as high as it has reached the peak. If he wants to break the situation in Lanshan City, I'm afraid it's more complicated than I thought.

Liu Qingyu directly picked up the wine glass, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he calmly downed the first glass in one go.

Seeing this, Cai Baoshan had a sneer of disdain in his eyes, and said in his heart: "Liu Qingyu, Liu Qingyu, no matter how good you are at drinking, I will let you come in standing up and go out lying down today. It’s the majesty I gave you.”

When Liu Qingyu picked up the second glass of wine, he glanced at Cai Baoshan. From Cai Baoshan's eyes, he could naturally see the playfulness in the other party's eyes.

Liu Qingyu sneered in his heart, but his hands didn't stop, and he picked up the second glass of wine again. After drinking three consecutive glasses of wine, Cai Baoshan immediately took the lead in applauding.

After the applause fell, Cai Baoshan immediately raised a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Director Liu, as your deputy, now, I offer you a glass of wine. I will do it first."
