The officialdom of rebirth

The result of the confrontation is naturally without doubt. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Yang, as the old leader, can only cooperate with Min Rou and drink a full glass of red wine with a smile on his face.

After drinking two glasses of red wine, not only was there nothing wrong with Min Rou's complexion, on the contrary, she became better and better. The faint wine smudged on her extremely pretty face, but it made her look extraordinarily charming.

And it wasn't until this time that her old colleagues in the organization department were shocked to discover that Director Min was really a real person, and that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger when socializing with them.

As for Minister Wang's expression at this time, he can no longer be described as stunned and annoyed, just because now he is almost bleeding internally from Min Rou's anger.

As for Leon and other foreign friends who have completely lost their presence since Chen Yang entered the box, they are undoubtedly very annoyed at this time, after all, the theme of today's dinner is to entertain them.

Especially Leon, seeing Min Rou, who had repeatedly rejected his kindness before, was so angry that he was so angry that he suddenly became furious.

Originally, a group of French people were standing near the main table in the banquet hall. Leon easily found a place not far from Chen Yang who was surrounded by stars in the middle. Holding two glasses of red wine, only one was left. With a politician's standard smile, he asked Min Rou in French: "Hehe, Ms. Min, are you really too drunk? Oh, please forgive me Confession, if you don't mind, I think this is the time. Allow me to offer you a glass of Beaujolais as a little respect?"

After Leon finished speaking, he slightly raised the only glass of red wine left in his hand in a very gentlemanly manner.But his sudden appearance and his slightly witty words suddenly reminded the people at the scene of the fact that the protagonist of tonight's dinner party must be a large number of guests who have come from all over the world. .

Min Rou was even more at a loss. After all, she had rejected others with high-sounding reasons time and time again, but when she turned around, she immediately drank two glasses of red wine. She couldn't explain to others that Chen Yang was my husband and me. Man, it's none of your business if I love to drink a few glasses of wine with my husband, right?

This is really embarrassing, even the clay figurines are a bit rustic, let alone these foreigners who always think they are superior to others?

Deputy Minister Qin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not aware of the little friction that had occurred near the door of the box before, although he understood Leon's words at this time.But still looking at Min Rou in a daze.Minister Wang of the Organization Department was the person involved in the whole process.Although he couldn't understand French, he couldn't guess from Leon's posture that the half-old man was here to force the palace. Now he quickly put away his inner injury, and looked at Chen Yang expectantly. .Obviously, he wanted Chen Yang to say something.

Not really.It's easy for the old leader to speak.

It's a pity that Chen Yang was given a glass of red wine by Min Rou.Although his drinking capacity was only a drizzle, he was already quite dissatisfied with this beautiful female subordinate and personal mistress who didn't listen to greetings. At this time, he couldn't care less about Minister Wang's expectant eyes cast on him.All I can think about is how to deal with this little woman when I go back later. I don't care whether it's the whip or the wax, or let her serve him in the most shameful posture. A longer memory will do.

When he put down the wine glass, he glanced at Min Rou with a faint smile. Min Rou immediately felt the tremendous pressure brought by Chen Yang's seemingly ordinary eyes, and she could even vaguely guess how Chen Yang would deal with herself when he went back. Yea, once she came across this idea, especially when she thought that Chen Yang would most likely go back and repair herself with a plan that she disliked the most and even thought it was a little perverted, her pretty face immediately became extraordinarily hot Thanks to the fact that she drank two glasses of red wine earlier, her face was covered with a faint red wine dizziness, which did not let outsiders see the clue.

Of course, if the group of middle and high-level cadres present guessed the messy thoughts flashing through her mind at the moment, I'm afraid she would vomit blood on the spot.

But these little secrets between lovers who are not humane are not the point now, the point is how to deal with the annoying Leon in front of him as soon as possible How to fix yourself is secondary, anyway, I have been with that bad guy for so many years, and I have never used any kind of embarrassing posture, at worst, I just pretend to be dead and let him fiddle with it at will.

Min Rou is indeed a female cadre who is used to big scenes. At this time, her mind was spinning quickly, and she quickly thought of a countermeasure. What she was tired of was that this Frenchman insisted on dragging her to sing some shitty French love songs. Just thinking about it made her feel sick, but as for the copious drinking on the scene, she didn't care much, especially since Chen Yang was also present now, she didn't need to feel any burden in her heart.On the contrary, she is somewhat rebellious now and thinks that it is best to get drunk tonight, and then what to do with this arrogant bad guy next to her, how will it end?

She smiled and raised the wine glass that was filled again, and replied in French: "Mr. Leon, I'm sorry just now, I should be the one to toast you with this glass of wine."

After all, she politely took a sip of the wine in the glass.

It has to be said that Min Rou's generous, decent and unaffected behavior makes people unable to catch any sore feet. Minister Wang secretly scolded the old leader, is he the only one?After that, I felt a little relieved. As for the others, they didn't have any ideas. It was originally a formal social dinner, and you respected me and I respected you in the same way.

Naturally, Chen Yang didn't have any thoughts. Putting aside his prejudice against foreigners, he didn't care much about such official occasions.

Leon didn't expect Min Rou to drink so generously this time. Although he was surprised, he couldn't find fault with it. Due to the gentlemanly demeanor that the French are most particular about, he could only smile slightly depressed He took a sip of the wine, and as for the nasty thing of forcing the other party to drink a whole glass in front of so many important officials, he couldn't do it.

But of course the resentment in my heart couldn't disappear so quickly.As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately had an idea again, and he said with a smile: "In view of the long-standing friendship between us, France and China, as a guest, I take the liberty to propose again, hoping to invite Ms. Min to sing a chorus to explain Open up the little misunderstanding between us just now."

It's really disgusting. You can come here. Min Rou almost felt sick when she heard it. Just now she couldn't resist this handsome foreigner who invited her to sing French songs again and again. A wicked heart never dies.

And many other comrades at the scene could understand French.This is naturally applauded.After all, although this place is not yet a formal diplomatic occasion, it is still dealing with foreign friends, and there is no harm to everyone if it can be lively.As for your mental cleanliness, Min Rou, that big guy doesn't care and doesn't want to care about it.Moreover, Min Rou politely declined Leon once in front of the big guys at the banquet, and now everyone is very curious.Will Director Min, who has just broken his drinking ban, offend these French guests in an unorganized and undisciplined manner like before?

At this time, Deputy Minister Wang became secretly anxious again.He has suffered enough from Min Rou's resolute disobedience.Now it's coming again, shit, I have to rely on the old leader.

for a while.Everyone's thoughts and eyes turned to Min Rou.

Leon came over to toast earlier, of course Chen Yang guessed it from the scene. At this time, because he couldn't understand French, he was a little puzzled. He didn't know what was going on with the polite French guy in front of him. Min Ju said: "Xiao Min, what is this French friend talking about?"

Min Rou said bitterly in her heart, what are you talking about, they want your woman to sing with you!However, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and when he was about to answer, the vice minister translated to Chen Yang first: "Hehe, Secretary Chen, Mr. Leon is inviting our Director Min to sing a song together to enhance friendship and be active." Take a look at the atmosphere."

Deputy Minister Qin is proficient in five languages, and she has been present all the time, knowing that Leon's throat is itchy and he has to sing a song before he is willing to give up. Based on work needs and work instincts, she naturally agrees with Leon's proposal Applause, so when I was translating for Chen Yang, I kept smiling.

To be honest, Chen Yang didn't think it was a big deal for this foreign friend's invitation, and he didn't have Min Rou's mental cleanliness. After laughing, he planned to appreciate Min Rou's singing voice like everyone else, but unexpectedly, Min Rou At this time, he rejected Leon's invitation again without hesitation in front of everyone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leon, let me tell you again, I can't sing French songs."

After she finished speaking, she didn't have to wait for Vice Minister Qin to translate, she turned to Chen Yang and said, "Secretary Chen, I don't know how to sing French songs, so I won't make a fool of myself, please ask other comrades to do it for me."

Chen Yang was taken aback when he heard it, can't sing French songs?So what are you humming at home all day?

Leon was rejected twice in public. At this time, it was difficult to maintain a hypocritical gentleman's face, and his whole white face became gloomy. After turning his head and muttering a few words to his secretary, he rushed back with a dark face. Minister Wang chattered: "Minister Wang, since we are not very popular people, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Putting down his words, he turned around and led his dozen or so people to play a trick of collectively withdrawing from the table.

Hulala, the retreat of the dozen or so people made the large group of Chinese people passive. The two leaders, Minister Wang and Minister Qin, rushed up to stop and explain, and the other comrades were equally anxious.After all, this Leon is a member of the French cabinet, and such an unpleasant resignation is more or less a diplomatic incident with bad influence.

Min Rou also panicked now. She didn't care when Chen Yang wasn't around, she didn't care much if she went back and was demoted or even dismissed, but now that Chen Yang was involved inexplicably, it's hard to be implicated by then She realized that this was something she didn't want to see.

Subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Chen Yang, the smile on Chen Yang's face also completely disappeared following the impulsive behavior of Leon and his party.Min Rou was even more anxious, and began to secretly blame herself, isn't it just to sing a song with the foreign party, and there will be no loss of meat, why can't she accept it?

The other comrades were just anxious at first, but at this time they all saw that Secretary Chen's face was a little unsightly, and they all complained to Min Rou: "Xiao Min, take a look. Secretary Chen from Huahai is still here, aren't you Let Secretary Chen read the jokes in our department?"

On the other side of the box, I don't know whether Leon and his group are just pretending or the two ministers have great persuasion skills. In short, they stopped for a while, but Leon still hummed in French with a stern face and seemed a little excited. Chirping about something, Vice Minister Qin has been patiently explaining, while Minister Wang hastily took a moment to trot back, and scolded Min Rou loudly with sweat on his face: "Comrade Min Rou, look at what you provoked." Come out of trouble! I don't want to tell you any more big reasons. I just want to tell you one last time. Now we are working. It is a serious political task entrusted to you by the organization. You can't let your temper, you must Unconditional execution, do you hear me!"

Min Rou is not a woman who can't stand being wronged, in fact, when she didn't know Chen Yang in the early years.She didn't know how much wronged she had suffered.Of course that's all in the past.Ever since she followed Chen Yang, she had only been wronged by Chen Yang, and ignored others.It's just that if Chen Yang wasn't present at the moment, she would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation. I don't care how Minister Wang will write the report and suppress the scapegoat, but the situation is different now, Chen Yang is also there, and she has to accept it. Recalling her pride and mental cleanliness, without any hesitation, she bit her lips secretly, lowered her head and said: "Minister Wang, I understand, I will explain to Mr. Leon and apologize. "

Minister Wang let out a long breath when he heard this, and shook his head secretly.No, it almost made Secretary Chen of Huahai see such a big joke.

And the communication work of Vice Minister Qin not far away was also very smooth, and Leon and his party finally walked back again after all.The more clever staff also promptly played the French classic old love song popular in the [-]s that Leon strongly requested to sing, and it was also a classic version of a male and female duet. The huge banner in the banquet hall The projection screen also showed a clip from a French film.

Even though Min Rou felt extremely sick in her heart, but for work, oh no, to be precise, for Chen Yang, she took the initiative to take a microphone handed over by her colleagues, and said softly in French: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leon , I'm not very familiar with this song, if you don't sing well, I hope you don't mind the little misunderstanding just now."

After lowering her head and biting her lips, she walked forward. When she passed by Chen Yang, she still couldn't help but glanced at the expression on Chen Yang's face out of the corner of her eye. As expected, Chen Yang was at this moment His face looked much better, the gloom just now was gone, replaced by a faint calm, or maybe a smile should be added.

To be honest, for Chen Yang, Min Rou could disregard her own life and other people's gossip. Now she can do the same, doing everything for Chen Yang as long as she can do it, but for some reason, Chen Yang's this The expression still made Min Rou feel a sharp pain in her heart.

That's right, his position is getting bigger and bigger, and he has more and more influences to pay attention to. Maybe he will be unhappy with some things he doesn't like, but it is absolutely impossible to say it without any scruples like he did back then. Say whatever you want, and do whatever you want.

Isn't it just a song, I just sang it with this old pervert!

Seeing Min Rou's act of showing weakness, Leon finally showed a smile on his face that he thought was a gentleman again, and spread his hands pretending to be helpless, "Oh, let me just say, this classic French love song that is so widely spread , how could Ms. Min, who has studied in France for many years, be unfamiliar with it? Hehe, let my dear Ms. Min and I present this classic love song to all the gentlemen and ladies present." The microphone that came over walked over to Min Rou triumphantly.

If Leon didn't have the above-mentioned smug remarks that almost got carried away, most officials at the scene would not think there was anything wrong. After all, it is a normal occasion for exchanges between the two countries. Singing and dancing ballroom dancing promote Friendship between countries is nothing more than a normal thing.But just his arrogant expression and behavior, as well as the cheers of more than a dozen other French people who seemed to have won the World War II, immediately made the officials of the Organization Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs present as if they were stunned. Feeling awkward and disgusting like a fly, even a few young cadres with lower ranks felt humiliated by the Manchu Qing government being ravaged by the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

The two leaders, Minister Qin and Minister Wang, also felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts. How should I put this feeling? In short, they feel a little bit fucked up.It was only at this time that Minister Wang vaguely understood why Min Rou was so stubborn.Why are you so feudal and stingy.

Indeed, it was originally a very normal thing to enhance friendship, once a slight deterioration occurred, then the nature would suddenly undergo a huge and incomparable change.

But no matter what, no matter how awkward or disgusting the big guy feels, at this moment, absolutely no one dares to stand up and shout, sing you?

Yes, after all, everyone is educated.There are cadres of the city government.There are still requirements for progress, and the blame for offending foreign friends is not something that can be memorized casually.

It's a pity that although everyone at the scene was upset and disgusted.There is resentment.But no one would say anything.Even they had to keep fake smiles on their faces.Or, there should still be silence, just like so many honest Manchu people more than 100 years ago.Silence is gold!

Amid the cheers of the cheering French and the silence of the officials of the second department, the instigator, Leon, took the lead in opening the male part of the love song duet with his tenor, which he thought was like Pavarotti.

Of course most people can't understand what kind of bird language he sings, but...

"I think it's better not to sing, whether you can sing or not."

Yes, an extremely indifferent voice sounded quietly when Old Leon was singing happily, and quickly exploded in the ears of everyone present.

The voice is not loud, but very powerful, and it has an irresistible mysterious power. More importantly, all the domestic officials at the scene can understand it, and even most of the French staff can understand it roughly.

Because this person uses standard Chinese, or Mandarin.

Min Rou suddenly turned her head and looked at the person who made the sound. Countless fragments of the heart that fell into the abyss were quickly recovered and almost jumped out of the exit. Her pretty face showed no expression, but her eye sockets were uncontrollably moist. …

Minister Wang was shocked. He looked at the speaker with incredulous eyes. He was about to spit out some annoying nonsense, but suddenly remembered the identity of the other party. Those nonsense words that were about to blurt out had to be forced Swallowing back, he almost flicked his tongue.

Vice Minister Qin's mouth opened wide into an O-shape, unable to speak for a long time.

The same is true for other officials and cadres. They are surprised and puzzled, but they are more excited than they themselves may be aware of. Two cadres with Chen backgrounds are even ready to take the blame.

Those on the French side who could understand Chinese undoubtedly burst into flames of anger, while those who couldn't understand were stunned in astonishment.

As for Mr. Leon, who was getting high, at this time, like an impotence patient who just passed the foreplay, he cast his eyes on the culprit who caused him not to lift.

But it's a pity that the culprit didn't even take a look at him to accept his provocation. He just looked at Min Rou with red eyes with a smile on his face, and once again used his powerful voice to calm down. He repeated what he said just now: "Comrade Min Rou, did you understand what I just said?"

At this moment, Min Rou wanted to die for the man in front of her immediately, but she still shook her head lightly, making the last effort, yes, she didn't want to bring even the slightest bit of love to the man she loved because of herself. trouble.

It's a pity that she was wrong, and it was quite outrageous.

Because even though she has been with this person for many years, she still has not been able to really understand this person.

Yes, maybe with the passage of time, this person's position has changed, his identity has changed, his status has changed, maybe he is no longer young and energetic, and he is no longer used to being domineering, maybe his tone of speech has changed, and the way he treats others has changed. It has also changed, but the only thing that has not changed, what has never changed before, now, and will never change in the future is this person's heart that is always burning hot.

Yes, it is him, and it can only be him who makes such a deafening voice in this miasma, making those who compromise, make the angry cry, and cheer up the silent.

Seeing Min Rou's childish and undetectable movements, Chen Yang smiled, a faint smile, what a silly woman.

"It's better not to sing, Comrade Min Rou, I don't want to hear it, and I don't think anyone here wants to hear it either."

He repeated it again. From the beginning to the end, there was a faint smile on his face, but it was so irresistible.

This time, without any hesitation, Min Rou threw away the microphone and ran back. Like all women who are extremely happy, they rushed to the arms of their sweetheart. Fortunately, when the tragedy of falling into Chen Yang's arms was about to happen, she It was only then that he suddenly remembered where he was at this moment and what kind of environment he was in. He stopped a step before Chen Yang, perhaps because he stopped too suddenly and almost fell on the ground. Fortunately, two sharp-eyed female colleagues hurried forward to support her.

Chen Yang ignored Min Rou who almost caused the tragedy of Ruyan's falling into the forest. Instead, he looked around the scene for a week. In the strange silence, he sighed and said lightly: "Comrades, I hope everyone can Understand, all of us present here, first of all, we are not ministers, department-level cadres, department-level cadres, we are Chinese first, yes, we Chinese have a tradition of hospitality, but I also hope that everyone Don't forget that we also have the right not to welcome anyone who doesn't respect our dignity, no matter who he is!"

As soon as Chen Yang's words fell, the officials and cadres present applauded enthusiastically, no matter whether it was out of sincerity or selfishness, whether it was due to pressure or otherwise.

Although Minister Qin and Minister Wang were very reluctant, but under the pressure of Chen Yang's status and status that was completely different from them, they could only cooperate and bow their heads to acquiesce to this fact. Of course, These two have already started to think about how to transfer the scapegoat to Chen Yang smoothly.

The French are not stupid. Judging from the reactions on the scene and the dismissive expressions of Chinese officials towards them, they are very clear that they have become the so-called unwelcome people. Leon did not perform as excitedly as before. He just snorted coldly, and rushed out of the banquet hall angrily with a dozen or so people under him.

The two leading brothers instinctively wanted to go up to persuade them to stay, but for some reason, when Chen Yang's eyes swept over them, the two of them gave up this plan by coincidence.

As Chen Yang, who disturbed the work of the two departments, he didn't think too much at this time. In fact, when Min Rou passed by his side just now, he wanted to speak, but he didn't, because he was vicious. Interestingly, I wanted to see the embarrassment of that arrogant Frenchman.

Indeed, to him, whether it is the cadres here, whether it is the two deputy ministers, or even this group of Frenchmen, they are all insignificant people.

Soon, he took out his cell phone and made a mysterious call. (To be continued..)
