Time passed minute by minute as Liu Qingyu and Chen Miancan waited. Five minutes later, the first person knocked on the door.
Chen Miancan walked over with hope and opened the door. What he wanted to see most now was Wang Hongbo appearing at the door. In this way, the strength of their camp would become stronger because of Wang Hongbo's joining, because Wang Hongbo was not only He is the number three figure in the municipal government and a member of the Municipal Standing Committee. Once he and Liu Qingyu are in the same camp, it will be of great help to enhance Liu Qingyu's control over the municipal government.
However, what Chen Miancan never expected was that after the door opened, it was Executive Deputy Mayor Liao Zhicai who appeared at the door. After entering, Liao Zhicai immediately shook hands with Chen Miancan with a smile on his face, and then looked at Liu Qing with a smile. Yu said: "Mayor Liu, I am not late this time."
Although he was joking, there was still a sense of teasing Liu Qingyu. Naturally, Liu Qingyu didn't care about this and said with a smile: "Come, Comrade Liao Zhicai, sit next to me and let's have a good chat." During the conversation, his tone was very cordial, as if the two were old friends for many years, and he seemed to have given Liao Zhicai enough face.
Liao Zhicai naturally sat on the left hand side of Liu Qingyu without any hesitation. Chen Miancan poured a cup of tea for Liao Zhicai. Then, the atmosphere in the private room began to become quiet. Although Liu Qingyu said it politely, he really waited for Liao Zhicai to sit down. When he was around him, he had no intention of speaking actively. Naturally, Liao Zhicai didn't want to take the initiative to talk. Talking too much will lead to mistakes.
While Liu Qingyu was waiting anxiously, the atmosphere in private rooms 601 and 201 was much more lively than in private room 301.
In Private Room 601, a group of secretaries-general and deputy secretaries-general from the Municipal Party Committee Secretariat are all gathered here. Huang Mingyang, a deputy mayor from the municipal government, is also among them. They are treated differently from the deputy secretaries-general. Huang Mingyang's seat was arranged on the right hand side of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shen Hongfei. This high-level treatment made Huang Mingyang a little flattered, especially because Shen Hongfei kept greeting him and expressed his care. Although Huang Mingyang knew very well that Shen Hongfei Fei was just performing, but even if it was a performance, there must be some true meaning in it, so he continued to express his loyalty while drinking tea.
Huang Mingyang was the deputy mayor promoted by the former Municipal Party Committee Secretary when he was in office. As the former Municipal Party Committee Secretary was transferred, he was eager to find a solid backer to back him up, so he chose Shen Hong without hesitation. Fly, because Shen Hongfei is the highest-level official he can reach, and when he followed the former municipal party secretary, he had already felt the convenience and benefits of following a top leader.
There were about three minutes until 7 o'clock, but Shen Hongfei was not in a hurry to announce the start of the dinner. He was still waiting.
At this moment, the door of the private room was knocked again, and then Vice Mayor Guo Junrong walked in.
After Guo Junrong came in, he said humbly: "Oh, Secretary Shen, leaders, I'm really sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road when I came here, so I came a little late."
"It's not too late or too late, just come. Come, Comrade Junrong, you sit next to Comrade Huang Mingyang. We'll wait a moment. It will officially start at 7 o'clock." Shen Hongfei stood up with a smile and shook hands with Guo Junrong. , patted him on the shoulder to express his closeness.
Guo Junrong naturally also showed a very respectful look, and his gesture was very sufficient.
It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and only two deputy mayors Guo Junrong and Huang Mingyang came to Shen Hongfei's side of the city government. However, Shen Hongfei was content, with a faint smile on his face.
In Private Room 201, in addition to a group of people from the Municipal Party Committee’s Organization Department, there were also two people from the municipal government who attended Zeng Zhentian’s dinner. One was a person whom the former mayor trusted, the deputy mayor Cheng Tianxiang, and the other was the municipal government. The arrival of Wang Zhetian, the director of the Finance Bureau, also made Zeng Zhentian very happy, and he naturally attached great importance to them.
In Private Room 301, as 7 o'clock approaches, the seats that were originally empty gradually become more popular.
Shortly after Liao Zhicai arrived, deputy mayor Luo Haohui and deputy mayor Xiang Feng came to the private room one after another. This made Chen Miancan, who was originally worried about too few people coming, feel a little more at ease. There were a total of 10 people in the city government. There are now five members of the party group. Although the number is not more than half, it is still not that shabby.
Liu Qingyu was very polite to Luo Haohui and Xiang Feng, and they were also very polite to Liu Qingyu, but this politeness meant to keep a certain distance. Obviously, when Liu Qingyu and Liao Zhicai were present at the same time Next, the two of them still don’t want to choose sides.
Liu Qingyu didn't pay attention to the performance of the two of them. He just chatted with them casually. The words in the chat were all about the local customs and customs of Luming City, which made the two of them feel relaxed. Many times, sometimes, Liu Qingyu would deliberately bring Liao Zhicai closer to the topic and ask Liao Zhicai to express his opinions. The atmosphere in the entire room seemed very harmonious under Liu Qingyu's adjustment.
The time has reached 7 o'clock. When Chen Miancan saw that no one else was coming, the expression on his face became obviously a little anxious. He whispered to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, the time has come. How about we wait a little longer?" meeting."
Liu Qingyu smiled and shook his head and said, "No need to wait, let's get started."
Later, Liu Qingyu called the waiter over and asked them to start serving food, rice and tea.
This dinner was just a dinner to test everyone's position. In addition, because Liu Qingyu insisted on strictly abiding by the eight-point rule, no wine was served at the dinner. Everyone just had tea instead of wine and played with each other for a while. Then they got into a state of chatting, and continued eating and chatting until about 8:30 in the evening. When everyone lost interest, Liu Qingyu announced that they were leaving.
On the way back to the municipal party committee guest house, Chen Miancan first answered a few calls, and then reported to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, I have figured out the people who attended the other two dinner parties. Vice Mayor Huang Mingyang and Guo Junrong attended Shen Secretary Zeng’s dinner party, and Cheng Tianxiang and Wang Zhetian attended Minister Zeng’s dinner party. The number of people at each other dinner party was almost a dozen, only the dinner party at our city government’s side had fewer people.”
When saying this, Chen Miancan felt a little heavy.
Liu Qingyu smiled and patted Chen Miancan on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, don't worry. Judging from the current results, the effect I want to achieve has been achieved." After saying this, Liu Qingyu said with a smile. : "Did you notice that Wang Hongbo did not attend anyone's dinner party?"
Chen Miancan nodded and said: "Yes, this is quite surprising to me. I originally thought that he would at least attend a certain dinner party, but I didn't expect that he did not participate. As a result, his attitude in Luming City also changed. It has become ambiguous. From the current point of view, he is in an absolutely neutral position for the time being and does not want to participate in any camp."
Having said this, Chen Miancan smiled again and said: "Mayor Liu, I also noticed a very interesting phenomenon. This time, Liao Zhicai, Guo Junrong, and Wang Zhetian used to act together, but this time they participated separately. Three dinner parties, their actions are quite meaningful."
Liu Qingyu sneered disdainfully: "I mean, it's just a feeling. Liao Zhicai wants to experience the different personality characteristics of each of the three of us by participating in these three dinner parties, so that he can make a reference for his final decision, and will No matter which camp they want to join, the three of them must join together, and with the force they represent now, no matter which camp they join, they are enough to play the mainstay role in this camp, and this is exactly what he With the biggest bargaining chip in his hand, he is likely to take advantage of the opportunity and make a big move."
Chen Miancan nodded vigorously. He also saw very clearly what Liu Qingyu analyzed. Although he was full of contempt for Liao Zhicai in his heart, he had to admit that Liao Zhicai could indeed maximize his interests by doing this.
But he also noticed that Liu Qingyu's tone was filled with strong disdain when he spoke just now. Did Liu Qingyu think of something deeper? However, Liu Qingyu didn't say much after that. It’s not easy to ask.
And just after Liu Qingyu and the others left the Xinyuan Hotel, Shen Hongfei and Zeng Zhentian also obtained the list of people who attended Liu Qingyu's dinner party.
After Shen Hongfei learned about Liu Qingyu's dinner list, he raised his eyebrows, showed a faint proud smile on the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Liu Qingyu, Liu Qingyu, this time you are in Lu I'm afraid Ming City's life is not easy. You have a deputy who is always ready to fight against you. The entire city government party group members are divided into several camps. And Zeng Zhentian and I can't let you dominate the city government. , I would like to see how you can make achievements in Luming City. Hehe, now is the time to take advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of your unsteady footing, it is Zeng Zhentian and I who want to expand our influence in the city government. It’s a great opportunity for you, I guess you won’t be able to deal with it.”
At the same time, Zeng Zhentian was also discussing the situation in Luming City with Li Wenke, director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department Office.
Li Wenke is a foreshadowing that the Zeng family has planted in Luming City. He is almost thirty years old. He is a young and promising cadre. He is a rookie that the Zeng family focuses on training. Originally, this person was not prepared for Zeng Zhentian. Yes, he once served as deputy county magistrate in the county below, but after Zeng Zhentian was transferred to Luming City, Zeng Zhentian needed someone he could trust more, so he made some arrangements and transferred Li Wenke to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department as the office director. By the way, Promoted half a level.
Li Wenke also suggested to Zeng Zhentian: "Minister Zeng, the current situation at the Luming City Government is complicated. It is a good time for us to take advantage of the situation and strengthen our influence in the city government. After missing this opportunity, we will basically not do it again in the future. Got it." This book was first published on 17K Novel Network, so you can read the original content immediately!
