Long Ruohai was speculating that why Zhang Yuejin took so much trouble to treat guests, it could not be that he wanted to harmonize the relationship. Just the conflict a while ago, the relationship between the two parties was already on fire. Especially Liu Qiang's tax inspection actions, which almost caused
The bankruptcy of Hongda Group. With Zhang Yuejin’s extremely arrogant character and his vengeful way of doing things, how could he admit defeat so easily?
"Captain Long, you are not a welcome guest." Long Ruohai and his party had just entered Zhang Yuejin's villa. Gu Zhonglai, who was a little impatient with the wait, said this without hesitation. What does this mean?
?Are you treating guests to a meal, or a Hongmen banquet? Long Ruohai frowned a little uncomfortable. He had no interaction with the Discipline Inspection Commission, and there was no need to act based on the expression of this stupid secretary.
The words of counterattack were already in his mouth, but he still swallowed them. He didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. He was a guest invited by Minister Zheng. If he had a conflict with Gu Zhonglai before he sat down at the table, Zheng Keru would definitely feel that he was not there.
Face. Besides, it will also put the third brother Sha Huai in the middle. Long Ruohai thinks so, but Lu Xiangyun doesn't think so. No matter who you are, if you want my brother Long to eat turtles, you can't do it.
thing.
"Don't you want to invite us, Brother Long, to dinner? If you don't want to invite us, we will turn around and leave. Hum, I came to dinner to give you face." She blurted out the words without thinking. Gu Zhonglai didn't know who the woman was, but she spoke
He would be so strong. Because he was not mentally prepared, he was stunned and did not speak.
Zheng Ke is a well-informed person. When he heard Gu Zhonglai's words, he felt something was wrong. He finally invited the guests, why did you, old Gu, make trouble again? When he saw it again, he came out to reply.
It was Lu Xiangyun, and he was complaining even more in his heart. Commander Lu was such a precious daughter, and he was well-known for protecting his shortcomings. In order to help his daughter gain reputation, he was able to fight against the deputy secretary's opponent. He beat his son and had to force him to do so.
The father came forward to apologize.
Things have already happened. If he doesn't come forward to put out the fire, Gu Zhonglai, a lunatic, doesn't know what kind of trouble he will cause. By then, everything will be involved in him. Zheng Keru quickly greeted him warmly
He went up and said politely: "Captain Long, please come and sit in the room. Xiao Lu is here, and I haven't seen the old leader for a long time." His speech was artistic. There were clever points in his words.
Understand the origin of Lu Xiangyun.
Gu Zhonglai is not a stupid person. Among the people named Lu in Huaidong City, how many people can make Zheng Keru talk to him so politely? He couldn't help but wipe his sweat. If it weren't for Minister Zheng's reminder, he would have
He didn't know what stupid words he would say. He never imagined that Long Ruohai would hire such a woman as a bodyguard. After such an episode, Gu Zhonglai, who was in shock, would certainly not cause trouble for Long Ruohai again. Yuan Ruohai
The director is a well-behaved person. Although I don’t know who Lu Xiangyun is, I stood aside and watched with cold eyes, and I have already discovered that this is a person who I can’t afford to cause trouble.
The next reception work will be much easier. Everyone just exchanged pleasantries and said a lot of useless words. Just when Lu Xiangyun was getting a little impatient, Zhang Yuejin came out and invited the guests to the banquet.
While sitting, a dispute broke out. Zhang Yuejin wanted Long Ruohai to sit in the guest of honor seat. Long Ruohai knew in his heart that with so many leaders present, no matter from any angle, it was not his turn to sit in that seat.
Not counting those leaders who are clearly there, even the third brother should have a much higher position at the formal banquet than himself, a middle-level cadre of the agency.
In life, people pay great attention to the order of seats when they sit down for a meal. For the so-called orderliness of the king, there have even been cases where the banquet table was overturned due to improper positioning. Long Ruohai did not dare to risk such a big mistake and let himself
His seat is above these leaders. Otherwise, in retrospect, those who know will say that they did not refuse well. Those who do not know will say that they do not know the heights of the sky. In the end, Minister Zheng still took the chief seat, and Gu Zhong
Lai and Long Ruohai sat on both sides. Of course Lu Xiangyun had to sit next to Brother Long, and the next ones were Sha Huaizhong and his wife.
Director Yuan sat next to Gu Zhonglai. Zhang Yuejin sat opposite Minister Zheng, who was considered to be paying the bill. Next to Zhang Yuejin was Sha Huaizhong. He toasted several times and asked Director Sha to help greet Shi Lei. The adults do not care about the minors.
After the death, give 'Er Gouzi' a chance to be a new person. On this occasion, Sha Huaizhong had to take Gu Zhonglai's face into consideration. Of course, it was hard to say anything, and he could only drink in a dull manner. After the banquet started,
, both host and guest are deliberately seeking a harmonious atmosphere.
Neither party mentioned the unpleasantness of the past, and the topic always revolved around the beautiful scenery of the lakes and mountains, anecdotes of literati. Or they just talked about interesting anecdotes and jokes about officialdom, and even brought out some unknown inside news. Lu Xiangyun originally
She came here to accompany Brother Long, and of course she was not interested in these non-nutritious words. She felt that these people's words seemed to be wearing a mask, and she didn't know whether they were tired or not. Fortunately, she was in the embrace of the sand.
His wife sat next to her and whispered some women's private words with her, so that she reluctantly sat in her seat without protesting.
When he was slightly drunk, Minister Zheng clapped his hands and said, "We can't always greet each other like this. Drinking like this is a bit boring. We have to find a topic to drink with." "Yes, yes. I support it."
Director Yuan was the first to express his support, and then turned to ask for opinions and said: "Captain Long, what do you think?" "It's good, but we can't compare with a great scholar like the director. If we really want to come,
It’s a poetry competition, so I can only accept the defeat and get drunk after competing.” Long Ruohai had no way to object to this kind of proposal. These people are all veterans at banquets, and it’s really not easy to talk about playing these tricks.
their opponents.
"Haha, I didn't expect Captain Long to be afraid of something." Director Yuan laughed happily and waved his hands in a leadership style, saying: "Okay, there is no bullying in drinking. We don't compare poems, we just tell jokes.
.If you can make everyone laugh, you will pass. But I have to say hello to you. There are many ladies here. The jokes must not be offensive. Anyone who violates the rules will be fined." Long Ruohai secretly admired him. He is indeed a leading cadre, and his quality is different.
.Unlike some people, after three glasses of wine, all the meat and vegetables are put on the table. And the more ladies are present, the more meat and vegetables they talk about.
"I initiated it. It started with me." Minister Zheng volunteered to take the lead and told a joke. "A young couple went to the temple to burn incense and make wishes. There were many Buddha statues in the temple. They worshiped the Buddha when they saw it.
Of course they looked very embarrassed. After a pilgrim saw this, he told them not to worship every Buddha statue, as Buddha would not like people who are half-hearted."
"Is there such a thing about worshiping Buddha?" Director Yuan immediately added the right sentence like a compliment in a cross talk. Zhang Yuejin also helped to explain: "Of course, each profession has its own rules.
There is no chaos at all." Zheng Keru continued, minding his own business: "The man who offered the incense had some enlightenment after listening to it, and felt that what the pilgrim said was very reasonable. It's just that the woman felt a little embarrassed, saying that the Bodhisattva enshrined here, we
I can't afford to offend anyone. How can I respect one but not the other?"
After everyone heard this, they didn't have time to react. The first person to laugh was Long Ruohai. He stood up and drank a glass of wine by himself, saying: "Everyone here is a Bodhisattva, and I really don't offend anyone."
I'm sorry, I have to ask everyone to take care of me in the future." Everyone laughed and said Captain Long was a smart man. Seeing Minister Zheng raising his glass, Director Yuan and Secretary Gu were the first to respond and drank the glass of wine.
"It's my turn." Director Yuan didn't have any airs at all, and then told a story about life philosophy. "After Brother Monkey came back from studying in the West, he thought he had skills. Of course, he was just a bit arrogant, thinking that he only had to
When he opens his mouth, a job will come to him. But after several interviews, no company has issued him a letter of appointment." "What's the point? If you don't use such talented people, what kind of employees do you want to recruit?"
Lu Xiangyun was a little puzzled and immediately expressed his doubts.
Director Yuan smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he continued: "One day during the interview, the great sage rushed to the interviewer and asked, why don't you want me? The interviewer was shocked and said something in a squeaky voice,
Because we are selling peaches." After hearing this, everyone looked thoughtful. No one said anything, they just drank a glass of wine.
Next we went to Long Ruohai, who told the joke about the price increase that he heard at the banquet table a few days ago. "There is a person who likes to eat vegetarian steamed buns. One morning when I went to buy steamed buns, I found that the price of steamed buns had increased.
He asked the boss, 'Why has the price of steamed buns increased?'. The boss said, 'Because the price of meat has increased.' This man felt very strange. If the price of meat has increased, why should the price of vegetarian steamed buns also increase?"
"Yes, vegetarian steamed stuffed buns don't use meat, so the price shouldn't be increased." It was still Lu Xiangyun's question. She found it incredible that if the price of meat increased, why should the vegetarian steamed buns increase in price? There was no inevitable connection between them. Long
Ruohai revealed the answer to the mystery and said: "The boss laughed and said, 'You don't need to use meat for vegetarian buns. The master who makes the buns needs to eat meat!'" Everyone laughed again and said, "Yes, you need to eat meat."
There will be a salary increase."
Later, Zhang Yuejin also told a joke. "There is a tank of goldfish in the manager's office. A friend said to the manager, 'These goldfish are so beautiful, but aren't you afraid that they will distract you from your energy?' The manager laughed and said, 'No.
Yes, they are the only ones here who ask for money but don't ask me for money!'" Director Yuan added humorously: "Don't worry, no one here today will ask you for money." Everyone laughed heartily.
Gu Zhonglai felt a little unhappy because he had just bumped into Lu Xiangyun. He didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness, so he signaled his subordinate Sha Huaizhong to come out to rescue. In this case, of course Sha Huaizhong
It was hard to refute the leader's face, so I had to stand up and tell a joke between teachers and students. "One day, the geography teacher asked the classmates, where does the river flow? One student stood up and sang, "The river flows eastward."
The teacher ignored him and asked, "How many stars are there in the sky?" The classmate sang again, "The stars in the sky join the Big Dipper." The teacher became angry and said, "Get out of here!" The students continued to sing, so let's go.
Just leave."
"This student is interesting." Lu Xiangyun praised. "Mr. Lu, if you really meet this kind of student, your head will be big?" Director Yuan already knew Lu Xiangyun's identity and joined in the fun.
Everyone stared at Sha Huazhong with eager eyes, waiting for his next words.
