Chapter 723 The purpose of the banquet
()
As the governor, Zhang Qiang rarely arranges dinners. Unlike some leaders, he feels that only by filling his spare time with wine, card games and activities can he feel his value. Unless a very important leader comes from Beijing, Governor Zhang will generally not accompany him.
This also makes Jiangzhong Hotel pay great attention to it once it knows that Governor Zhang is going to treat guests. In their opinion, the person Governor Zhang is going to invite will definitely not be ordinary people. When the guests Governor Zhang is going to inspect the hygiene of the private room and the deliciousness of the dishes.
The wine glasses that were originally made of dodgy were replaced and they went to a set of crystal cups hidden in the hotel. In terms of dishes, he also tried them himself. Six dishes were replaced by the boss. The two leaders of Jiangzhong Province who were at the peak of power came today, so there was no better chance to perform than this.
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Liang Jian accompanied Governor Zhang and his wife to the Jiangzhong Hotel. Almost at the same time, Secretary Hua and his wife Han Bing also arrived. There was also a young man and woman next to them. Liang Jian had never seen these two people before, but from the appearance of the young man was quite similar to Han Bing, Liang Jian guessed whether this young man would be Han Bing's younger brother, Secretary Hua's brother-in-law?
After sitting down and introducing it, it was true that this was the case. This young man was Han Bing's younger brother Han Lei. The beautiful girl next to him said after introducing him with Han Lei's self-introduction: "This is my girlfriend in Jingzhou, Su Tong. Jingzhou is a good place, rich in beauties. When I got there, I was fascinated by Su Tong."
In Han Lei's words, he was a little cynical about the second generation of rich or second generation of official, which was actually not suitable for such occasions. But Han Lei seemed to care nothing, and he would say whatever he liked. When Han Lei spoke, he stared at Governor Zhang with a flattering element in his eyes. But for Liang Jian, he had never even looked at Liang Jian. In his opinion, only Governor Zhang should be worthy of his eye-catching look at the whole table.
Out of courtesy, Governor Zhang asked Secretary Hua: "Have all the people today arrived?" Although Governor Zhang arranged for dinner today, everyone was called by Secretary Hua. Even Liang Jian was named by Secretary Hua.
If only these people participated, Liang Jian would feel that this supper would be very boring. Of course, he did not come here today for the sake of being energetic. He was invited by Secretary Hua and could not refuse. However, except for Governor Zhang and Ge Huiyun, Liang Jian didn't want to have dinner at the same table at all, which would affect his appetite.
Secretary Hua said: "That's not yet, Governor Zhang, three people have not arrived yet." There are still three people? Liang Jian didn't know who Hua Jianjun would invite to come? He was suspicious in his heart. People need suspense. Even this suspicion made Liang Jian at least not feel too boring now.
A few minutes later, someone came in. One man and one woman turned out to be Hu Xiaoying and Gao Chenghan. This surprised Liang Jian. Regarding Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian had already seen Secretary Hua invite her for the second time. As for Gao Chenghan, it was the first time to see him. After Gao Chenghan and Hu Xiaoying came in, they first asked Secretary Hua, Governor Zhang and their wife, and then looked at Liang Jian and nodded.
The remaining positions are already in the lower position. Liang Jian didn't know that Gao Chenghan and Hu Xiaoying would come, so he sat directly beside Ge Huiyun, and there were three more seats below him. Now that the mayors of Jingzhou City and Yongzhou City have come, Liang Jian sat on their heads, which was obviously not suitable. Liang Jian took the initiative to stand up
, give it to Gao Chenghan.
When Gao Chenghan saw it, he signaled him not to stand up with his hands. He sat down in the lower position. Between him and Liang Jian, Hu Xiaoying asked him to sit down. Liang Jian still wanted to stand up, but Secretary Hua said: "I have already sat down, so don't move. Who made us Mayor Gao come one step late? Let's come first and then arrive. What's more, Mayor Gao has a happy event, and it's okay to feel wronged at all in his position."
Secretary Hua’s words gave everyone endless imagination. Secretary Hua said that there would be a happy event that everyone knew. What would it be? It would be impossible not to imagine. Secretary Hua is really a master who is so enchanting, and he is also a master in the bar.
What made Liang Jian strange was that there was an empty seat between Han Bing and his brother-in-law Han Lei. This position was reserved in advance. According to Liang Jian's observation of Han Lei, if this position was not an important person, he would definitely sit on it. Now he has not been to sit in this position, which means that the person coming is also important enough, and he is the one who has to give face.
The puzzle was soon revealed, and the person who came was Kang Jun, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee. Seeing Kang Jun coming, Governor Zhang and Ge Huiyun had an unexpected reaction in their hearts. However, they did not show it on their faces. Kang Jun was wearing a suit and a tall figure, which was the kind of spirit.
Although he is nearly fifty years old, his mental state seems to be in his early forties. From this point of view, he is still very confident in his political future. Liang Jian has seen many people in the officialdom, if they have no confidence in their future, their mental state will be completely different. Kang Jun was once an opponent to compete with Governor Zhang for the position of vice governor. Although the competition failed, he is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Judging from his expression, there was no sign of showing weakness on Governor Zhang's side, as if he was full of confidence and was ready to become a master at any time. For some reason, Liang Jian felt uncomfortable when he saw Kang Jun's condition. Unexpectedly, Kang Jun said: "Governor Zhang not only brought his wife, but also his secretary. If I had known, I would have brought them all."
Then, when everyone was embarrassed, Kang Jun laughed: "I'm kidding."
Maybe Kang Jun is trying to show humor, but Liang Jian is not happy with it. Governor Zhang said simply: "My wife and Liang Jian are invited by Secretary Hua, not by me." Secretary Hua also said to Kang Jun: "We are all distinguished guests I invited. Secretary Kang, didn't I invite your wife too? You said she is not free." Kang Jun said: "I went to Beijing again, and I am more busy than me, the secretary of the municipal party committee."
Secretary Hua said: "Yes, we who are the leaders of the Party also need to transform our ideas and concepts. We have always thought that we are the busiest and most important. In fact, if there are people around us who run companies and do business, they may be busier than us. They are the people who truly create social productivity."
Kang Jun is very good at Secretary Hua’s accent. He said: “Secretary Hua’s words make sense. We are the people who provide good service for them. Many people say that the government’s work is now the service industry, providing good service for enterprises and the people.” Secretary Hua said: “If you say this, we really have to do a good job of service with all our hearts.”
Ge Huiyun said to Governor Zhang: "Everyone is already there, let's start." Governor Zhang said: "Everyone is already here. Today is Secretary Hua treating the guests. I pay the bill. Let's gather together. Everyone is very welcome." Secretary Hua said on the side: "Governor Zhang is polite. Governor Zhang is both treating the guests and paying the bill today. Let's respect Governor Zhang and his wife first."
Governor Zhang and Ge Huiyun said, "Let's respect everyone." As he said, he clinked glasses with everyone. This is the case in the bar. Even if he didn't have a good relationship, he had to be polite in terms of face and smiled.
Governor Zhang initially invited Hua Jianjun's family out of politeness. At this moment, Governor Zhang felt something was wrong when he saw the person he came. But at the beginning, the banquet was just a scramble and did not involve any special content. Gao Chenghan and Hu Xiaoying were also toasting, but they strictly controlled it to a certain amount.
The leader will not let you come at such a high-level banquet casually. Since you are here, it must be a purpose. Liang Jiangang and Gao Chenghan finished drinking, and only heard the secretary's wife Han Bing say to his younger brother: "Han Lei, so many leaders are here today, don't you give him a good toast?"
Han Lei is a good wine person. He had already drunk a lot of energy during the toast before. Now he heard Han Bing ask him to toast, and he became even more energy. He first went to Kang Jun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee, poured a full cup, held his hands and said, "Secretary Kang, I am toasting you, I will drink it, you can do whatever you want." Kang Jun said, "I am half a cup here. You are Mrs. Hua's younger brother, of course I will finish it."
After drinking, Han Lei said again: "Secretary Kang, I am a real estate agent. I really want to ask you to take care of you in the future. Ningzhou's real estate has always been the market I want to enter." Kang Jun said: "Investment is one of the current engines to drive the economy. Of course, we are very welcoming Mr. Han to our Ningzhou for development. If you have any needs, come to me in the future." Han Lei said: "Secretary Kang, you are such a grand person. I want to give you another cup."
Kang Jun felt it, and Han Lei really slowly drank another glass of red wine. Kang Jun smiled and said, "Young people are so terrifying, amazing. Where is Mr. Han developing now?" Han Lei said, "Some time ago, I went to Jingzhou to see a piece of land and wanted to build a real estate there." Kang Jun said, "Oh, Jingzhou, although it is a small city, the citizens are very rich, the houses are easy to sell, and the place is good to choose. This is Mayor Hu's place. You should respect Mayor Hu."
Han Lei poured a full cup again and came over to Hu Xiaoying and said, "Mayor Hu, I really thank you for your help some time ago. I sent someone to accompany me to see many places. I haven't reported it to you yet. There is a piece of land I have seen very good. At that time, I will trouble you."
Liang Jian saw that when Han Lei said this, the secretary's wife Han Bing kept staring at this side and watching everyone's actions. Hu Xiaoying said: "We welcome Mr. Han to invest in Jingzhou. This is a contribution to the development of Jingzhou's economy. All our services are worthwhile. Let's talk about the land in detail in the future. Let's tell me which piece of land it first?"
Han Lei said: "It's the land at the corner of Tonggu Road at the foot of Phoenix Mountain." Hu Xiaoying's expression froze slightly when she heard it, but then she immediately regained her smile and said: "I understand, let's talk about it in detail then."
