After Liu Qingyu returned to his office from the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was still angry in his heart. He secretly thought that he had just taken office and had never had any dealings with the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Why did Duan Haifeng target him? This matter Liu Qingyu couldn't understand the matter no matter how much he thought about it.
But Liu Qingyu also knew that he didn't need to worry now. Since Duan Haifeng wanted to target him, after he gave Duan Haifeng a harsh lesson, his behind-the-scenes instigators would definitely show up.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Liu Qingyu's office, and Liu Qingyu said in a deep voice: "Come in."
As soon as the door opened, Yi Chengjie walked in with a smile on his face: "Director Liu, I am entrusted by the deputy directors of the Municipal Bureau to invite you. Because today is your first day officially taking office, so the Municipal Bureau Bureau The party committee has decided to hold a welcome banquet for you tonight, which will be attended by the middle and senior management of the bureau. Do you have time to attend?"
When he heard that he was invited to attend the welcome dinner, Liu Qingyu did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, this is no problem, I have to participate, but let's make an agreement first. Now the country is vigorously promoting the eight projects We, the leading cadres, naturally have to take the lead in enforcing the regulations. We must not eat or drink with public funds. Therefore, I will be the host of today's dinner. You are responsible for arranging it. The specifications of the banquet should not be too rich or too shabby. , plus drinks, just arrange it according to my two months’ salary.”
Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, Yi Chengjie quickly said: "Director Liu, this can't be done. The bureau leaders have already agreed that we will definitely not use public funds to eat and drink, but the welcome dinner must be held. , you are a guest from afar, no matter what, I can’t let you come to treat us.”
Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's not easy for everyone to make money. I'm different from you. I have accumulated enough wealth to enjoy a lifetime before I entered the official career. To me, the money for banquets is still It’s not a big deal, just arrange it like this.”
When Yi Chengjie heard this, he didn't say much. After leaving, he went directly to the office of Executive Deputy Director Cai Baoshan and reported Liu Qingyu's intention to Cai Baoshan. Cai Baoshan was stunned when he heard this, and then disdained it. With a smile, he said: "Humph, this Liu Qingyu always does this kind of formalistic stuff. He is a weirdo. If he is willing to do it, just follow his wishes. These are not the point. The real point is I want to see how Liu Qingyu copes with our unique wine shop in Lanshan City tonight at the banquet tonight."
Yi Chengjie nodded vigorously when he heard this, and flattered him: "It's better that Director Cai is far-sighted. I guess Liu Qingyu will have to drink to the point of stomach bleeding tonight. We need to let him know that in our Lanshan City, if we want to If he doesn't do things well and maintain the relationship with Director Cai, he won't be able to do anything."
Cai Baoshan smiled proudly, but said no more.
The dinner was arranged in a private room in a farmhouse not far from the Municipal Public Security Bureau compound. When Liu Qingyu came over, the bureau party committee team of the Lanshan Municipal Public Security Bureau and some important middle-level cadres were all present. Three tables were seated, and the cold dishes were already served, but no one moved a chopstick, they were all waiting for Liu Qingyu.
After Liu Qingyu entered the room, Cai Baoshan, who was sitting on the left side of the guest of honor seat, immediately applauded first. Then, everyone else followed Cai Baoshan's applause and applauded. At the same time, everyone also He stood up and looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile.
Cai Baoshan stood up and greeted him: "Director Liu, thank you very much for giving our subordinates the face to attend today's dinner. Please take a seat."
While speaking, Cai Baoshan smiled and looked very enthusiastic. Others also greeted Liu Qingyu with smiles on their faces.
Liu Qingyu smiled and shook hands with Cai Baoshan. Naturally, he did not need to be polite and sat directly at the guest seat. After all, he was not only the host of today's dinner, but also the person with the highest official position in the entire banquet. , he sits in this position and no one will say anything.
After Liu Qingyu finished it, the waiter immediately came forward and poured a glass of wine into everyone's wine glasses with a smile. However, three wine glasses were placed in front of Liu Qingyu, and all three wine glasses were filled. Full.
At this time, Cai Baoshan smiled and picked up a glass of wine and said, "Director Liu, are you very confused when you see the three glasses of wine in front of you?"
Liu Qingyu smiled and nodded. He was indeed a little shocked by the three glasses of wine in front of him.
Cai Baoshan continued: "That's it, Director Liu, these three glasses of wine are all prepared for you. Before we officially drink today, please drink these three glasses of wine first. This is our Lan The rules of the Shan City Public Security Bureau, as the saying goes, if you have deep feelings, drink it in one gulp, and if you have shallow feelings, lick it. If you have feelings for us in Lanshan City, drink it all in one gulp."
After speaking, Cai Baoshan looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile on his face.
Liu Qingyu was stunned at that time. He did not expect that he would encounter such a battle today. He didn't eat a bite of food, and drank three glasses of wine as soon as he arrived. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no wine party behind this. The party has officially started, and he is already drunk. Why is the banquet still going on? Liu Qingyu doesn’t know if there is such a rule in Lanshan City, but now that Cai Baoshan has said this in front of so many people, then There are rules even if there are no rules, and what makes Liu Qingyu feel most angry and unhappy is that this guy actually set a hat for these three glasses of wine. If he has feelings for Arashiyama City, he will drink it in one sip. This subtext is If you have no feelings for Arashiyama City, then it’s okay if you don’t drink.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that since Cai Baoshan became the executive deputy director, every time a new director of Lanshan City takes office, he will play this kind of three-cup game. The trick with wine is that if the new director does not drink, then the new director will lose face in front of all the middle and high-level people in the Lanshan City Public Security System. If he drinks, then the average person's drinking capacity will be considered to have drank these three glasses of wine, then The next round of toasts will probably be difficult to handle, because Cai Baoshan's next trick is to start with him, and everyone will take turns toasting to Liu Qingyu.
For those middle-level cadres, Liu Qingyu can naturally lick and signal, but for the bureau party committee of Lanshan City Public Security Bureau, if Liu Qingyu just licks, I am afraid it will cause other people to be unhappy. Yes, but if he really wants to have a drink with every member of the bureau party committee, then Liu Qingyu will definitely be drunk. After all, that glass of wine is more than three taels, and one bottle of wine can be poured into three glasses. This Lanshan The Municipal Public Security Bureau has a total of 9 members of the bureau party committee. Apart from Liu Qingyu, there are eight people. One cup for each person is eight cups, and each cup of three taels is equivalent to two catties or four taels. Adding the previous one catty, This is three kilograms and four ounces of wine. After three kilograms and forty ounces of wine, even a heavy drinker will find it difficult to compete.
However, this first round has just begun. When it comes time to toast freely, at least Liu Qingyu will have to suffer a second round of attacks. So far, no director has been able to last until the second round.
Everyone knew that this time, Cai Baoshan repeated his old tricks and must have used this wine game to give Liu Qingyu a show of strength.
It depends on how Liu Qingyu will take the move next.
All eyes were focused on everyone.
Liu Qingyu glanced at the whole audience and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. He noticed that everyone's expressions were very interesting. Some people were gloating about their misfortune, and some were full of sympathy and pity. But everyone had it. A common feature is that no one believes that Liu Qingyu can take over today's drinking game.
Liu Qingyu's eyes finally fell on Cai Baoshan's face, and he said with a smile: "Comrade Cai Baoshan, are you sure that the rule of three glasses of wine you mentioned is the rule of our Lanshan City Public Security Bureau?"
Cai Baoshan smiled slightly and said very sincerely: "Director Liu, if you don't believe me, you can ask the comrades here. Everyone has sharp eyes."
Liu Qingyu smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, since Comrade Cai Baoshan said this, if I don't drink these three glasses of wine, I'm afraid everyone will say that I, Liu Qingyu, have no feelings for our Lanshan City. I It’s definitely impossible not to drink, but although I can drink these three glasses of wine, after finishing it, I have something to say.”
When Cai Baoshan heard this, he naturally wouldn't care about what Liu Qingyu was going to say next, because he knew that if he were an ordinary person, even if he had a good drinker, if he had three glasses of wine and drank a pound of wine before eating, he would probably It was hard to bear, so Cai Baoshan said with a smile: "Okay, no problem. After Director Liu drank these three glasses of wine, it will be easy to talk about anything. Director Liu is Director Liu. He is indeed young and promising, and he is a role model for us." .”
"Yes, Director Liu is a role model for us." Everyone else echoed Cai Baoshan and said.
Seeing this formation, Liu Qingyu has realized that among the many cadres of the entire Lanshan City Public Security Bureau, Cai Baoshan's prestige has probably reached its peak. If he wants to break the situation in Lanshan City, he must I'm afraid it's more complicated than previously thought.
Liu Qingyu directly picked up the wine glass and drank the first glass in one go without haste under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Seeing this, Cai Baoshan's eyes showed a sneer of disdain, and he said in his heart: "Liu Qingyu, Liu Qingyu, no matter how good you are in drinking, today I will let you come in standing and go out lying down. This is the power I give you."
When Liu Qingyu picked up the second glass of wine, he glanced at Cai Baoshan. From Cai Baoshan's eyes, he could naturally see the hint of joking in his eyes.
Liu Qingyu sneered in his heart, but without stopping, he directly picked up the second glass of wine. After finishing three consecutive glasses of wine, Cai Baoshan immediately took the lead in applauding.
After the applause fell, Cai Baoshan immediately raised a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Director Liu, as your deputy, I would like to propose a toast to you, and I will do it first as a token of respect."
