Xiao Zheng vaguely felt a danger. He felt that Chen Hong would have problems sooner or later if he asked people to pay for the dinner. There is no free dinner in the world. Everything in this world needs to be exchanged. If someone pays for you, there must be something to ask for.
As for you, whether the other party is a private company or a public entity, if they pay the bill for you now, they will definitely expect you to do things for them in the future.
A meal cost more than 20,000 yuan, how will you pay it back in the future? Xiao Zheng was worried about Chen Hong.
Just when Xiao Zheng was worried, the door was pushed open and Chen Hong came in. Her dress today was different from before. She wore a black sweater, a red leather jacket, and her hair was tied behind her head. She was smart and capable.
Her face was radiant. It can be seen that Chen Hong was in the best spirit to entertain the guests today.
But this did not alleviate Xiao Zheng's worries at all. His eyes fell on the cigarettes and wine, and he said to Chen Hong: "Isn't it too expensive to have so much Majiu and gold leaves? You will owe others a lot of favors." Chen Hong.
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already done everything." Xiao Zheng said: "I would rather pay for it myself." Chen Hong said: "With your little money, how many times can you eat this kind of dinner?" Xiao Zheng said
Said: "Actually, we don't need to be so grand. We can invite whatever guests we can afford!"
Chen Hong put his hands on his shoulders, pushed him onto the mahogany sofa with golden cushions, and said: "Just sit back and wait for the leader to come. I have arranged all other things. You
Don’t worry. In Jingzhou, we have hosted the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, what else can we do? Waiter, pour us tea..."
The waiter came in with a smile on her face, poured them two cups of tea and placed them on the mahogany coffee table. Chen Hong asked the waiter to open the wine and prepare the table. She said: "The leaders will be here soon." The waiter.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get ready."
About ten minutes later, Tan Zhen, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied by a group of people, arrived. Wang Chunhua, deputy secretary of the Anxian County Party Committee, called Chen Hong in advance. Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng went to the "Jingzhou Banquet"
Tan Zhen was greeted at the door.
In addition to Wang Chunhua, Deputy Secretary of the Anxian County Party Committee, he was accompanied by Kong Youtian, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Gao Rongyuan, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Qian Xinhai, Deputy Director of the Municipal People's Congress. In addition, there was Anxian County.
Committee Organization Department Chief Yao Beixiang! Tan Zhen asked Yao Beixiang to come over on an occasion like today, which shows his trust and attention to Yao Beixiang.
As for Gao Rongyuan, Xiao Zheng was a little confused. He had been to An County many times before and had supported Xiao Zheng and the others in their work. Xiao Zheng had always thought that he and Tan Zhen had an average relationship, but he didn't expect that today Tan Zhen would also call him
Here it comes. It can be seen that the relationship between Gao Rongyuan and Tan Zhen should be good. Is Gao Rongyuan a person who pleases both sides?
After everyone shook hands, they were led into the box. Tan Zhen said: "Let's take a seat. Are everyone here?" Although Wang Chunhua is already the deputy secretary of the Anxian County Party Committee, today he seems to have returned to the role of secretary.
, took the initiative and said: "Secretary Tan, everyone is here, we can start."
Chen Hong said: "Then please take a seat. Secretary Tan, you take the main seat." Tan Zhen pretended to be polite: "How can I sit on the main seat? Whoever is the boss today should sit on the main seat.
Yes." Wang Chunhua winked at Chen Hong. Chen Hong quickly said: "Secretary Tan, no matter who is inviting guests, the secretary should sit at the head of the table. Secretary, please take a seat, otherwise everyone will not be able to sit down."
Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian said: "Secretary Tan, if you don't sit down, it will embarrass everyone. We can only stand with you. Sit down so that everyone can sit down."
Tan Zhen then smiled and said: "Okay, you just have too many rules. I only sit in this position so that everyone can sit down early." The people next to him echoed: "Yes, yes." Then everyone
They all laughed and sat down.
Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian said: "Chen Hong or Xiao Zheng, who of you will accompany Secretary Tan? Sit next to Secretary Tan!" Usually the host in the wine shop sits at the main seat, but today Tan Zhen sat at the main seat.
Kong Youtian was polite and asked the host to sit next to Secretary Tan.
Chen Hong said: "It's better for the leaders to sit next to Secretary Tan. Xiao Zheng and I will sit below." Xiao Zheng didn't express his intention to sit over. He didn't show much enthusiasm on this occasion. Deputy Secretary Kong Youtian glanced at Xiao Zheng
, he looked away and said to Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, come and sit down. Aren't you treating us today? How can we do it if no one comes to accompany Secretary Tan?" Chen Hong said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then I'll come over.
Please accompany Secretary Tan."
Tan Zhen didn't say anything. As soon as Chen Hong sat down, he smelled the fragrance coming from Chen Hong.
This is the fragrance that only young women have. Tan Zhen, who is over fifty, is afraid of older women when he sees them recently, because there is something wrong with the smell of women as they age, but the fragrance of young women makes him unable to refuse. Although,
Chen Hong's boyfriend Xiao Zheng was also present today, but he is the municipal Party committee secretary and he doesn't care about Xiao Zheng at all.
Tan Zhen sat down, Chen Hong also sat down, and the others sat down consciously according to their positions, and Xiao Zheng sat at the bottom. Xiao Zheng didn't care about the seat, but Chen Hong sat down
Being next to Secretary Tan made Xiao Zheng quite uncomfortable.
I heard Chen Hong very obediently say to Secretary Tan: "Secretary, please speak so that we can start." Tan Zhen was sitting in the main seat and was no longer polite. He said: "Okay, then we will
Let’s start, let’s raise a toast.”
The wine party started, and it was nothing more than a set of procedures. Everyone toasted to each other, said some compliments, and everyone came to toast Secretary Tan one after another. All this was normal, and it was something Xiao Zheng had become accustomed to. However,
, but Xiao Zheng saw Chen Hong being so proactive, so enchanting, so well-behaved, and so smiling in front of Tan Zhen. This was something he couldn't bear.
Xiao Zheng really didn't like his woman being so open-minded in front of other men, and in Xiao Zheng's presence.
Xiao Zheng felt that he was the most embarrassing person today. Everyone was drinking to their heart's content, joking excitedly, and flattering exaggeratedly, but Xiao Zheng couldn't drink, couldn't laugh, and had no interest in flattering anyone.
Chen Hong winked at Xiao Zheng several times, but Xiao Zheng pretended not to see it. Tan Zhen and other leaders must have felt it, but they also pretended not to see it.
In the middle of the journey, Wang Chunhua went out for a while. When he came back, Wang Chunhua's voice was deliberately louder, overcoming the noise at the scene, and said: "Secretary Tan, what a coincidence, when I went out just now, I happened to bump into Mayor Hong.
Deputy Mayor Xiao, they were having dinner with the leaders of Guangdong Province. They said it was the last dinner for the leaders of Guangdong Province for their inspection. The leaders of Guangdong Province would go back tomorrow. Mayor Hong asked me why I was here, and I couldn’t hide it.
When I said you were here, Mayor Hong said he would come to toast me. I said no, but he insisted on coming. He will come right away."
Tan Zhen said: "Really? That's a coincidence. Mayor Hong is also polite, but there is no need to come over. If they come over, I will have to drink a few more glasses of wine." Propaganda Department Chief Gao Rongyuan said: "Today's wine is good.
, Secretary Tan drinks two more drinks, just drink two more drinks."
However, this news shocked Xiao Zheng. He did not expect that Mayor Hong and Xiao Jingyu were also here. If they knew that he and Chen Hong were inviting Secretary Tan to dinner, what would they think of him? Especially Mayor Hong, maybe
Will you misunderstand yourself?
Before Xiao Zheng could think too much, Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu had already entered, followed by a group of leaders, who were obviously from Guangdong.
Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu were stunned when they saw Xiao Zheng. Apparently they didn't know before that Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong invited Tan Zhen to dinner. When they arrived, the whole room was almost packed.
Tan Zhen said: "Mayor Hong, Mayor Xiao, and the leaders of Guangdong, you are so polite, why do you come to toast?" Hong Xu said: "Secretary Tan is here, we must come to toast. From Guangdong
Leaders, I have to go back tomorrow, and I will have a few more drinks today." The leaders of Guangdong Province also said: "Thank you to Jingzhou City for the warm hospitality this time, and thank you to Secretary Tan, Mayor Hong, and Mayor Xiao.
This glass of wine must be a toast." Everyone drank a glass of wine.
Hongxu asked again: "Who is hosting Secretary Tan today? I want to toast." Secretary Tan said: "Today, Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong invited me to dinner. These young people are very nice.
Yes, Mayor Hong, Mayor Xiao should also pay more attention to me in the future."
Hong Xu looked towards Xiao Zheng and nodded. However, this nod did not mean recognition, but more like "I know you". His eyes were also very complicated. Xiao Jingyu's expression was also very surprised and...
Awkward.
Xiao Zheng suddenly understood why Wang Chunhua suddenly notified Chen Hong to change hotels in the evening!
Perhaps, Tan Zhen and Wang Chunhua knew in advance that Hongxu and Xiao Jingyu were here to invite the leaders of Guangdong Province, and then moved here temporarily. When Wang Chunhua went out just now, he specifically let Hongxu and Xiao Jingyu know that Secretary Tan was eating here, so they came to toast.
You must know about Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong's treat.
This turned out to be a routine, to show Hong Xu that Xiao Zheng was inviting Secretary Tan to dinner! Xiao Zheng was taking the initiative to approach Secretary Tan!
Xiao Zheng really regrets that he did not tell Xiao Jingyu in advance yesterday that he would invite Tan Zhenke today. If he had told it in advance yesterday, Xiao Jingyu would probably have reported it to Mayor Hong, and then Mayor Hong and Xiao Jingyu would not be so surprised today.
Got it!
It seems that you can never take chances!
Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu toasted with wine. When they went out, Hong Xu left without even looking at Xiao Zheng. Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Zheng, his expression still complicated.
After Hongxu and others left, Tan Zhen's interest seemed to be even higher. But in Xiao Zheng's heart, he had no good impression of Tan Zhen, Wang Chunhua and others. These people were so good at playing tricks!
After dinner, Tan Zhen said to his former secretary Wang Chunhua: "Is there a place to talk here?" Wang Chunhua immediately said: "Yes. The tea room here is very comfortable. I will arrange it." Tan Zhen said: "Okay, I and I
Let’s talk about Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng.” Tan Zhen said this and the others dispersed.
The three of them sat down in the spacious tea room without anyone else. Tan Zhen said to Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng: "I'm very happy that you invited me to dinner today. Now, there are only three of us here, so let's open the door
Tianluo, please speak frankly. Chen Hong, you hope your father can promote you, right?"
Tan Zhen was so straightforward, which surprised both Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng. Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng, then nodded and said, "Secretary Tan, I am telling the truth. Yes, I hope my father can be promoted."
Tan Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, that's good. Can you two see if this works? From now on, you two should follow my side, and the relationship with the others will be cut off, right?"
Tan Zhen's words seemed vague, but they were very clear. Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng with surprise and nodded at him, asking him to nod accordingly.
However, Xiao Zheng did not. He asked: "Secretary Tan, I don't know what this means?"
Tan Zhen's eyes fell on Xiao Zheng's face and said: "I think you are a smart person and you must know what I mean. You won't suffer by following me. You also know that I am a person who loves talents. I
I want to train you because of your strong ability, open mind and good quality."
Xiao Zheng also raised his head and looked at Tan Zhen: "Secretary Tan, thank you for your kindness. However, I don't know what you mean when you say, 'Everyone else's relationship is broken'."
Chen Hong looked over with some worry: "Xiao Zheng, please stop talking."
"Haha." Tan Zhen smiled and said: "Xiao Zheng still has the guts! Let me tell you the truth. Hongxu, Xiao Jingyu, including Gao Chenghan, Liu Qingwei and others can't help you, nor can they help Chen Hong's boss
Dad. In Jingzhou, one fact is in front of you, that is, I have the final say! Xiao Zheng, Chen Hong, you are lucky, because I have never told people so clearly, but today I let you hear it so clearly
Understood!"
Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng were both silent.
After a while, Tan Zhen said again: "There is one more thing I want to give to you. Today I come to have this meal, which is also the last chance for you. If you two follow me in the future, how many days will Chen Guangming's deputy director
It can be solved within a short period of time, either as deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau or as a deputy county director in another county. What's the difficulty? What's the difficulty in being promoted to a full post after two years? But if you don't seize this opportunity today
, then you will know it yourself in the days to come."
When Chen Hong heard this, he almost didn't think about it: "Xiao Zheng, Secretary Tan has given us such a good opportunity. We must be extremely happy, right?"
However, Xiao Zheng slowly stood up from his position and said: "Secretary Tan, in my opinion, there is no such thing as your side in Jingzhou City and Mayor Hong, Mayor Xiao. I first work for the party.
, the second is to work for the people. So I don’t understand the opportunity you just mentioned. I will leave now. Chen Hong, will you come with me?"
"Xiao Zheng, are you crazy?" Chen Hong shouted, "Sit down quickly, Secretary Tan has given us such a good opportunity, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Zheng looked directly at Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, if you don't come with me today, our relationship will end here."
Chen Hong's eyes suddenly became moist, but she did not stand up.
Xiao Zheng smiled at her and said, "Goodbye." After saying that, Xiao Zheng walked out without hesitation and closed the door of the tea room.
Chen Hong saw Xiao Zheng's voice disappearing on the other side of the door, and said in her heart, Xiao Zheng, why are you so stupid! So stupid!
Xiao Zheng walked to the hotel bar. He originally wanted to buy the bill. But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. He returned to the box and took the unfinished Maojiu and the remaining gold leaf in his hands.
Wouldn't it be better to take it back and give it to Dad to drink and smoke?
Xiao Zheng felt relaxed after walking out of the "Jingzhou Banquet".
He knew that the relationship with Chen Hong was over! There would be no future!
