official journey ups and downs

At this moment, a series of footsteps outside the door stopped the two chatting with each other suddenly, and quickly got up and rushed out the door.Shen Tong also got up immediately, and stood aside timidly.

"Secretary Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I just finished the meeting and kept everyone waiting for a long time." The man was majestic, full of style, kind-faced, and said with fists in his arms.

Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Siming sent the man to the guest of honor seat, and Liu Siming winked at the waiter, meaning that the food could be served.

During the conversation, Xie Tianliang restrained his words, Zhao Yitang groveled, and Liu Siming joined the meeting. Only then did Shen Tong realize that this person is today's protagonist, Zhang Liwei, member of the Standing Committee of the Dongquan County Party Committee and director of the County Party Committee Office.And that "elegant person" is the secretary of the county party secretary Wu Jiangkai.Shen Tong scoffed at Xie Tianliang's clumsy performance just now, and really regarded himself as a leader.After thinking about it, did Liu Siming take advantage of the leadership like Xie Tianliang back then to be so domineering?

After a while, the dishes are ready.The dishes on the table slowly made Shen Tong dazzled and salivating.I saw a well-trained waiter explaining: shredded chicken and white fungus, sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, eight-treasure rabbit diced, Arhat prawns, skewered fried fresh shellfish, fried beef tenderloin with green onions...

Although Zhang Liwei has been in the officialdom for a long time, it is really rare to see such ostentation. He had to sigh: "This Zhao Yitang is really willing to spend money. It seems that there is a big thing that I want to ask of me. Whether it can be done or not is another matter. Let's just listen and see." .”

"Cousin Yi, it's a waste of money. You can just find a restaurant in Dongquan. Why do you have to arrange it like this? I don't dare to be a brother." Zhang Liwei pretended to blame.

Zhao Yitang said straightforwardly: "Today's light meal is specially prepared for you. If you don't show face, it will be a waste of my hard work."

Zhang Liwei asked suspiciously: "How do you say that?"

Zhao Yitang said mysteriously: "Director Zhang has so many things to do every day, he is so busy with business all day long, he even forgot his own birthday, right?"

Zhang Liwei rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, today is my birthday, Brother Zhao really has a heart."

Zhang Liwei has changed three names for Zhao Yitang since he entered the door, from Secretary Zhao to Cousin Yi and then to Brother Zhao.Secretary Zhao is an ordinary working relationship, communicating with each other because of work appointments; Cousin Yi goes a step further, splitting the working level and exchanging interests in private; Brother Zhao has a lot of meaning, brotherhood is like brotherhood, more The loyalty of the rivers and lakes.Different levels, different status, and different identities, the appellation also changes accordingly.

Zhang Liwei pointed at the dishes and said with great interest: "Brother Zhao, if I'm not wrong, the dishes on your table are all dishes from the Manchu and Han banquets, and it's a court banquet with five or more grades."

Zhao Yitang praised and said: "In terms of learning, you Director Zhang is one of the few in the whole county and even in Longnan City. I, Zhao, can't hold a candle to him. It's really amazing. That's right, with your status and ability, no matter what It should also reach the level five or above, right?"

"Hahaha... Brother Zhao, you!" Zhang Liwei looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. Although there was suspicion of flattery, Zhang Liwei was very useful.

Xie Tianliang on the side was still acting like a leader just now, but now he is flattering and flattering, which is enough to see Zhang Liwei's status in the county.

Of course Zhang Liwei also knew that they wanted to invite me to dinner, and they wanted to get close to Secretary Wu.Compared with the secretary of the county party committee office, one is an in-law and the other is a foreign relative. Of course, Zhao Yitang can distinguish which is more important.

Shen Tong was greatly moved by Zhao Yitang's carefulness.Zhao Yitang tried his best to treat Zhang Liwei to a meal, and even knew his birthday clearly.Inviting dinner for this reason, it is estimated that no matter how difficult it is to invite people, they will not refuse outright.

The cups and cups are intertwined, and the fierce battle is in full swing.

When Zhang Liwei reached Shen Tong, he looked blank and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhao Yitang quickly introduced: "This year's unified recruiting cadre in the county, Shen Tong."

Shen Tong hurriedly got up, picked up the wine glass, leaned forward, imitated Zhao Yitang and said, "Director Zhang, my name is Shen Tong, I am honored to be able to attend your birthday party, and thank Secretary Zhao and Mayor Liu I am honored to meet Director Zhang and Director Xie, and I would like to offer you a glass of wine, and wish you a happy birthday and prosperous official career." After finishing speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

Shen Tong's neither humble nor overbearing words not only expressed his own thoughts, but also directly and indirectly flattered everyone present, which made people very happy to hear.

Zhang Liwei praised and said: "Shen Tong, I remember. Young man, yes, you are following the right person if you can keep up with Secretary Zhao. You can learn a lot from him, and you must serve Secretary Zhao well. , the future is boundless, the future is boundless." When speaking, he pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhao Yitang, while Zhao Yitang looked at Shen Tong with a smile.

Shen Tong also felt that what he said just now was decent, and with the glass of strong wine just now, his heart immediately became wild.

After drinking for three rounds, each fights.Xie Tianliang unconsciously brought the topic to Dongquan officialdom, and Zhao Yitang, who didn't know how to speak, found the entry point for tonight's banquet.

Shen Tong carefully observed this self-righteous Xie Tianliang, and he could see that he was not suitable to be the leader's secretary by virtue of the eloquent talk he had just had in the car in the afternoon.The first principle of leading a secretary is to speak less and do more, and act in a low-key manner.But Xie Tianliang is so uncontrollable and a bit ostentatious, Wu Jiangkai definitely won't use him for long.Liu Siming, who was also a secretary, had a deep understanding of this point.

Zhao Yitang tentatively said: "Director Zhang, my brother's current situation is like this plate of shredded chicken and white fungus. It looks harmonious and delicious in color and taste, but it seems that the white fungus is the main ingredient and the shredded chicken is the auxiliary ingredient."

Zhao Liwei immediately understood Zhao Yitang's meaning, and casually pointed to the fried beef tenderloin with green onions, and said: "Chicken shreds and white fungus each have their own merits, but this is not the case with fried beef tenderloin with green onions. Green onions are always a condiment, and beef tenderloin is the real master." material."

The two smiled at each other and continued to clink glasses and sing.Shen Tong seems to understand this official language, but what is certain is that the two are deliberately avoiding the topic.

After a meal, only half of the five bottles of Wuliangye were left, and all of them were staggering.Shen Tong was fine, he performed supernormally, and felt extremely excited after drinking.

Although Liu Siming drank a lot, he was still sober.Knowing that the banquet was about to end, he got up and went out to pay the bill.

Xie Tianliang was obviously overwhelmed with alcohol, and was already sound asleep on the sofa next to him.

At this time, Zhang Liwei gave Zhao Yitang a wink, and staggered out.Zhao Yitang understood Zhang Liwei's intention, got up and followed him out.

The huge room was still very lively just now, but now it is deserted and desolate.

Shen Tong's heart ached when he saw the untouched dishes on the table and the hundreds of dollars of liquor piled up in the corner.Why did Secretary Zhao hesitate to say something at the wine table just now? Could it be that there are some things that he doesn’t want to say in front of everyone? Since he can’t say it at the wine table, why should he ask Xie Tianliang?A series of questions lingered in Shen Tong's mind.

The west room on the right is a living room, and Zhang Liwei walked straight in after coming out of the bathroom.

When Zhang Liwei was sure that there was no one around, he said quietly, "Brother Zhao, it's inconvenient to say something just now, because partitions have ears." After speaking, he pointed to the main hall.

Zhao Yitang immediately understood his intentions, hurriedly poked his head out to look outside, and closed the door to fetch it.

Zhang Liwei sat there, lit a cigarette, and continued: "Although Xie Tianliang and I serve Secretary Wu together, you must know that Xie Tianliang's brother Xie Tianen is the director of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, and Xie Tianen is close to the county magistrate Ding." , so it’s better not to let him know about some things.”

After listening to Zhao Liwei's meticulous analysis, Zhao Yitang regretted his actions, and said apologetically, "It's my brother, I didn't think carefully."

Zhang Liwei waved his hands and said, "I don't know why, maybe outsiders regard us as fellow party members, but in reality we are not. We will talk about this matter later."

After a pause, Zhang Liwei continued: "Secretary Wu actually has a longer-term idea for canceling the survey this time."

Zhao Yitang immediately leaned forward and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Liwei raised his eyebrows, flicked the cigarette ash, and said, "Ma Guotao's arrogance and arrogance are not due to his ability alone. Secretary Wu means to put a long line to catch big fish."

Zhao Yitang suddenly realized.He continued to ask, "Then what do you think I should do now?"

"What should I do? Your brother should know better than me, huh?" After Zhang Liwei finished speaking, he picked a grape from the table.

Although Zhao Yitang understood it, he still asked tentatively, "You mean to defeat each one?"

Zhang Liwei smiled strangely, threw the leather away, clapped his hands, got up and walked out.

After leaving Cuijuxian, they had arranged to go to sing together, but Zhang Liwei had something else to do, so they broke up unhappy.
