An Zhe talked for a long time, then picked up the wine glass: "Finally, I wish all the old leaders and seniors good health and all the best, and -"
Everyone raised their glasses. An Zhe and Xu Honggang clinked glasses with the veteran cadres at the table one by one, and then they all drank. Except for Jing Haoran, the other veteran cadres all took a symbolic sip and then put down their glasses.
As you get older, it is normal for you not to be able to eat in one mouthful.
Qiao Liang didn't do anything, he just picked up the cup and took a sip. He was a small section chief working at this table, not a senior cadre.
The waiter then poured the wine, and Qiao Liang took the initiative to pour water for the veteran cadres.
What Qiao Liang poured was boiled water. These veteran cadres all brought their own water cups with unknown tonic and health products soaked in them.
When it was his turn to pour water for Jing Haoran, Qiao Liang saw that his water glass was soaked with deer antlers and black wolfberry. While pouring it, he thought, could this guy be dissatisfied with old age and want to have a second spring in his life?
Then An Zhe and Xu Honggang toasted to the senior cadres at the table one by one. When it was Jing Haoran's turn, An Zhe said politely: "Secretary Jing, I have taken over your business. Thank you for laying the foundation for me. Please give me your advice in the future.
"
Jing Haoran nodded and thought about what An Zhe said. Why didn't he talk about the baton, but about this stall? Is this stall a good stall or a bad stall? Also, why didn't he add "good" or "solid" in front of the foundation?
Could it be that there is something in this guy's words?
Jing Haoran then joked: "Secretary An is young and promising. I believe that you will do a better job than me in governing Jiangzhou. As for giving advice, I don't dare to take it seriously."
Anzhe smiled and then drank.
Jing Haoran thought about it while drinking, Damn, I put a high hat on him, why doesn't he be humble? It seems that this guy doesn't take him seriously.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown, and felt unhappy. I planned to finish it, but put down the cup after half-drinking.
Seeing Jing Haoran like this, Qiao Liang blinked, the old guy seemed to be in mood.
An Zhe then said to Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, give Secretary Jing a toast."
Upon hearing what An Zhe said, Qiao Liang secretly complained. An Zhe must have known about the incident between himself and Jing Haoran on the way and deliberately asked her to toast him.
Anzhe didn't do this for any reason.
According to the rank of the senior cadres at this table and the nature of the table he was sitting at, Qiao Liang was not qualified to toast to the senior cadres, and he did not want to toast Jing Haoran at all.
But since An Zhe said that, Qiao Liang had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and look at Jing Haoran respectfully: "Secretary Jing, I offer you a glass of wine."
Jing Haoran hated Qiao Liang from the bottom of his heart and didn't want to drink the wine he was toasting. But considering Qiao Liang's current status and the fact that An Zhe proposed the wine, if he ignored it, Qiao Liang's face wouldn't matter.
It will make Anzhe unable to come to power.
Although I somewhat dislike An Zhe, given his current status and position, I'd better not offend him, at least not show it publicly.
Thinking of this, Jing Haoran picked up the wine glass without touching it with Qiao Liang, just took a sip and then put it down.
Qiao Liang smiled, then did it, then wiped his mouth: "Thank you, Secretary Jing."
Jing Haoran glanced sideways at Qiao Liang and said lukewarmly: "Xiao Qiao, is this your sincerity?"
"Yes, sincerely." Qiao Liang nodded.
"Are you thanking me just because I drank with you?" Jing Haoran continued.
"No, it's mainly because of Secretary Jing's care and love for me in the past." Qiao Liang said sincerely.
Jing Haoran snorted, feeling angry. Damn it, this bastard dared to ridicule him on this occasion. He was so bold. Apart from punishing him, when did I ever show any care or affection to him?
Seeing Jing Haoran humming, Qiao Liang smiled secretly and continued to look very serious: "Secretary Jing, I speak from the bottom of my heart. Without your extra love and care for me, how could I be where I am today? Think about it, it's
Isn’t that true?”
Jing Haoran rolled his eyelids. What this kid said seemed to make sense. If he hadn't pushed him into the mud, he would still be working as a small director in the Propaganda Department. How could he go to the municipal party committee office and become An Zhe's secretary?
With that said, he should really thank himself.
Then Jing Haoran woke up and thought, Damn, this guy is talking sarcastically. His gratitude was obviously ridiculing and teasing, but it also made him feel miserable and unable to express it.
Jing Haoran was suddenly depressed and glared at Qiao Liang coldly.
Xu Honggang could hear and see clearly next to him, and smiled to himself. Qiao Liang was really brave. He dared to tease Jing Haoran in such an occasion. Although Jing Haoran was angry, he couldn't get angry and could only knock out his teeth.
Swallow in the stomach.
An Zhe raised his glass again and looked at Xu Honggang: "Mayor Hong Gang, let's stop by and have a drink."
Upon hearing that An Zhe took the initiative to drink with him, Xu Honggang perked up and quickly raised his glass: "Secretary An, I respect you."
"Must respect each other." An Zhe said and went to work first.
Xu Honggang then did it, feeling happy. Last night in Yangshan, he took the initiative to toast Anzhe. He just took a symbolic sip and put down the glass. Now he took the initiative to drink for himself and drank.
Combined with the conversation between An Zhe and himself on the way, Xu Honggang was in a very happy mood, which was a good sign.
Seeing An Zhe take the initiative to drink with Xu Honggang, Qiao Liang was also very happy. It seemed that An Zhe's view of Xu Honggang had really changed.
But Qiao Liang was immediately confused. After so many years of estrangement, could the two of them really resolve their differences so quickly? An Zhe was now condescending. What was his consideration for suddenly taking the initiative to reconcile with Xu Honggang?
In fact, not only Qiao Liang, but also Xu Honggang was also secretly thinking about this.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended successfully in a harmonious, warm, friendly and united atmosphere. An Zhe and Luo Fei personally put the veteran cadres into the car and watched them leave.
Then everyone dispersed on their own.
Anzhe's dormitory was in Jiangzhou Hotel, not far from the banquet hall. He walked there, Qiao Liang followed, and Zhao Qiang followed slowly in the car.
As An Zhe walked, he said, "Xiao Qiao, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the weekend, and Secretary-General Qin didn't inform us of any arrangements." Qiao Liang paused, "Secretary An, do you want to go home and take a look?"
An Zhe's family is in Huangyuan, and he came to Jiangzhou to take office on his own.
So far, Qiao Liang knows nothing about the situation in Anzhe's family.
An Zhe did not answer Qiao Liang's words. He was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go around the city tomorrow."
Upon hearing An Zhe's words, Qiao Liang knew that he would not return to Huangyuan.
An Zhe said he wanted to walk around the city, but he didn't know how he planned to go around. He didn't say anything, so Qiao Liang couldn't ask more questions. He thought for a moment: "Should I report to Secretary-General Qin?"
Anzhe waved his hand: "No, no need to tell anyone, and no need to notify the news media."
Qiao Liang understood that An Zhe wanted to pay a private visit incognito.
An Zhe continued: "Sleep in on the weekend and come over at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Qiao Liang agreed.
Arriving at the door of Anzhe's dormitory, Zhao Qiang stopped the car. Qiao Liang took out Anzhe's suitcase from the car. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door of the villa opened and Xiaotao came out.
