Hao Desheng originally wanted to say that he had reserved a seat here, and he wanted to see if Ye Kai needed it?
But after he followed Ye Kai's gaze and glanced back, he stopped thinking about it.
Several people walked over from the opposite side. The leader was of medium height, with a slim appearance and slightly gray hair. He looked energetic and had a chilling demeanor when he walked. You could tell at a glance that this person was from the army.
Born.
Looking at his appearance again, Hao Desheng's heart suddenly lifted, and his whole person became a little sluggish.
He never expected that he would meet General Ye Xiangkun here, the de facto controller of the military and the big shot responsible for the daily work of the Military Commission.
Although Ye Xiangkun is often seen on TV, it is the first time for Hao Desheng to see a real person in person. This member of the Central Political Bureau and the number one figure in the Military Commission still puts a lot of pressure on him.
Sure enough, the Ye Kai in front of me is really the young master of the old Ye family.
Before Hao Desheng, Lin Wei and others could react, Ye Kai had already strode forward and greeted the second old man.
"Haha, you guys came early." The second old man saw Ye Kai and laughed.
Also coming with the second old man were Ye Jianhuan, the second old man’s secretary and bodyguard, a total of five people.
"Actually, it's not too early. I just came here a few minutes earlier." Ye Kai said.
Ye Jianhuan came over and patted Ye Kai on the shoulder. The two brothers walked inside together, protecting the second old man.
Seeing Mu Wanrong, Lin Wei and Hao Desheng opposite, Ye Kai simply said, "This is Mu Wanrong, the mayor of Longcheng City. I invited her to have dinner with me, and you are my guests."
The two I met on the road were Mr. Lin and Director Hao from the Ministry of Health."
"It's rare that such a young girl is already the mayor." The second old man looked at Mu Wanrong and nodded with a smile. As for people like Lin Wei and Hao Desheng, they can only be regarded as passers-by.
, after all, Ye Kai did not introduce them formally.
"Happy New Year to Vice Chairman Ye." Mu Wanrong was a little surprised when she saw Ye Xiangkun. She didn't expect that Ye Kai would invite her to dinner, and the guests would actually be members of the Central Political Bureau and deputy chief of the Military Commission.
It scares someone to death.
"Okay, okay." The second old man was in a good mood and waved his hands and said, "Why don't you go in and talk and have a drink outside?"
Everyone agreed and followed the second old man in.
Hao Desheng wanted to join in the fun with Ye Kai and others at this time, but after all, he was not familiar with Ye Kai, and judging from the situation, Mu Wanrong must have met Ye Xiangkun for the first time, and it was obviously a bit uncomfortable to follow her path.
OK, I felt itchy and uncomfortable in my heart like being scratched by a cat, but there was nothing I could do.
However, Lin Wei also thought about it at this time, thinking that since Mu Wanrong and Ye Kai were in a relationship, they naturally had a close relationship. Even if they had nothing to do with the second elder of the Ye family this time, there would still be opportunities in the future.
Yes, not really.
Ye Kai didn't care. The private room he occupied was naturally of the highest standard and could accommodate two tables. And eating hotpot mutton would naturally be more lively when there were more people.
It’s the Chinese New Year anyway, so it’s good to have two people to support me.
So Ye Kai said to Hao Desheng and Lin Wei, "If you two don't have anything important to do, it would be nice to come over and join in the fun."
"Of course that's good, but it won't disturb Secretary Ye, right?" When Hao Desheng heard this, his face almost burst into laughter.
"It's not like it's just a meal." Ye Kai said with a smile.
He didn't know what the relationship between Mu Wanrong and Lin Wei was, nor did he expect that the two of them were already strangers. He simply considered that since he was inviting Mu Wanrong to dinner, he would naturally want to meet her husband.
They were invited together. After all, the private room he reserved was the highest-end one. Even if most people were rich, they would never have the opportunity to see it.
This invitation is just out of courtesy. Anyway, the private room is big enough, so I don't mind inviting two more people to dinner.
At least, Mu Wanrong should feel that she has been treated politely, because this is selling her face.
"Then excuse me." Hao Desheng and Lin Wei naturally agreed.
Although Mu Wanrong was not happy in her heart and did not want to see Lin Wei, it was clear for whom Ye Kai made such a gesture, so she could not say that Ye Kai did something wrong, she could only say that she
He just didn't explain his affairs clearly to Ye Kai.
"It's just a meal..." Mu Wanrong thought for a while and finally let go of the matter and simply stopped thinking about it.
There were ten of them in total and they entered the private room.
"The brand of the Central Office is really easy to use. You can actually book a luxury suite during this season." The second old man looked at the situation of the private room and said in surprise.
There are not many deluxe private rooms here. Although the second old man can usually book a place here, whether you can book a deluxe private room still needs to be made in advance. If there is a conflict, you can only settle for the next best thing.
.
In fact, members of the Central Political Bureau do not come here very often, so the few suites left here are enough for socializing. Unless the feng shui is extremely bad, a car crash may occur.
.
"This is also a courtesy from Director Tan of the Central Office, and not many leaders come here to eat these days. Most of them are busy with business and can't handle it. I think I missed it." Ye Kai replied.
"Tan Shengjie's reputation is getting bigger and bigger." The second old man said.
After hearing this, the other people present felt a chill in their hearts and did not dare to take this issue.
Now Tan Shengjie has finally come forward. Not only has he been promoted to the director of the Central Office, but he has also successfully entered the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. He is one of the few big figures who have benefited the most after this conference, and has since entered the ranks of party and state leaders.
.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is really nothing that Tan Shengjie cannot do in the capital now.
Of course, this also has a premise, that is, his opponent is not a big force like the old Ye family.
After all, Comrade Jiang Cheng has only been in office for a short period of time, and many aspects are slowly getting used to him, and he is unable to do everything he can.
Because of this, the role of the old Ye family is particularly important.
When the past few years have passed and Comrade Jiang Cheng's position has been stabilized, it will be difficult to say what the situation will be like at that time. Therefore, if the old Ye family wants to smoothly transfer power to Ye Ziping and complete the handover of power to the second generation, it will be difficult to say.
It's not that easy.
Fortunately, a genius like Ye Kai came out of the old Ye family. It can be said that he came out of nowhere and shocked everyone. This has the advantage of being able to successfully clear the obstacles for the old Ye family and help Ye Ziping successfully enter the Standing Committee of the Central Committee.
.
"The General Office of the Central Committee only does some trivial things. If it takes decisions, it must be the members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee. Besides, Tan Shengjie does not have a great say in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee." Ye Kai said, "Second Grandpa, don't you think you can't see it?
Are you used to new officials taking office?"
In fact, the Central Police Bureau also operates under the direct leadership of Tan Shengjie. The director of the Central Police Office leads the Central Police Bureau, which is only a nominal leader. The actual manager of the Central Police Bureau can only be the No. 1 chief.
, this is also to ensure that the No. 1 leader can draw a loyal and combat-effective team at any time.
Once the leadership of the Central Police Department is lost, this cannot be guaranteed.
"If you can't stand him, there's someone else here." The second old man said.
Ye Kai touched his chin and felt that this might be true.
Ye Kai is quite clear about Tan Shengjie's character. Because he has not had many interactions with him before, Ye Kai is very aware of Tan Shengjie's abilities and his outstanding resourcefulness. It's just because of his background.
He is rather arrogant and feels that he is superior to others.
Although Tan Shengjie is usually warm and courteous in his treatment of others, his arrogance comes from within and will not be weakened by the cover-up of external expressions. On the contrary, it is easier for people to detect his inconsistent mentality.
It may be because of this reason that many people dislike Tan Shengjie.
It is possible that Tan Shengjie himself is aware of this and knows that big trees attract wind, so he has been getting along with Lao Ye's family more friendly recently. This time Ye Kai only mentioned it, and he had people arrange things in the hotel.
It was impossible before. After all, Ye Kai was still a junior and could not be seen in his eyes.
"You are mediocre if you are not envied by others." Ye Kai said.
Lin Wei felt better since he was not in the official circle, but at this time Hao Desheng was so frightened that he was speechless.
After all, Hao Desheng felt that the fight between ministerial-level officials was already a very scary thing. At this time, he actually heard the discordant topics among the members of the Central Political Bureau at the dinner table. Naturally, he was speechless and couldn't hold his chopsticks.
Some trembling slightly.
Soon, the waiter brought out various dishes, and also prepared pots, various dipping sauces and mutton rolls.
As soon as the second old man gave the order, everyone started to eat.
"Yes, Dong Lai Shun'er's hotpot mutton is the most delicious." The second old man took two bites and praised it.
Hao Desheng also cooked a few slices of mutton and took another sip of the soju next to him. After feeling a wave of heat rising from his heart, he felt that the tension he had just felt had finally relaxed a little.
Being with these big shots is really stressful.
In fact, it was not just Hao Desheng who felt some pressure. Mu Wanrong, who was sitting next to Ye Kai, also felt huge pressure. It would be okay if he didn't know the identity of the second old man, but once he knew a member of the Central Political Bureau, the deputy head of the Military Commission was sitting there.
