Xiao Zheng smiled at Fang Ya and said, "It doesn't matter where you sit." Before Fang Ya could say anything, Ning Gan's leader had already come out to greet her.
The provincial leaders shook hands with each other, exchanged greetings, and entered the banquet hall together.
The leader from Ninggan invited Minister Lu to be the guest of honor, and the other leaders also sat down one after another. Although no table cards were placed, everyone knew their positions and how to sit, and they all had a sense of proportion. From Jiang Jiang
Leaders at the deputy department level or above who came in sat down at the main table, and everyone else sat down at the secondary table.
Everyone was in an orderly manner, with the exception of Fang Ya. She ran to sit at Xiao Zheng's table, and happened to sit next to Xiao Zheng. Liu Yongshu, deputy director of the Provincial Government Office, saw him and was a little anxious, so he ran away immediately
He came over and said, "Mr. Fang, why are you sitting here? These seats are reserved for department-level people. Our deputy directors are all at the main table."
The words were meant to differentiate cadres based on their positions, which made the division-level cadres at the sub-table feel very uncomfortable.
But Fang Ya said: "It's just a meal, what department level or division level? Minister Lu and the others have people to accompany them. I will accompany the brothers and sisters here. Can you guys agree?" All the division level cadres in Jiangzhong immediately came together.
Shouting "OK!"
The shout was a bit loud and attracted the attention of the leader at the main table. Lu Zhengxing looked towards Liu Yongzhu. Knowing that Minister Lu had doubts, Liu Yongshu immediately ran over and said: "Minister Lu, Minister Fang is sitting in the wrong seat.
I wanted to persuade her to sit back, but she said she wanted to accompany the division-level cadres over there."
After hearing this, Minister Lu did not ask Fang Ya to come back. Instead, he said: "Hey, I was negligent. We are here as an inspection team. Don't distinguish people too much in terms of positions. Let Minister Fang be over there."
With her here, the table will be more lively." After Minister Lu said this, Liu Yongshu couldn't ask Fang Ya to come over again.
But he was really annoyed in his heart. He originally wanted to sit next to Fang Ya, and while drinking, he could get close to her more and deepen his relationship. But unexpectedly, Fang Ya just ran to the next table, and
Still sitting next to Xiao Zheng. I don’t know if Fang Ya sat next to Xiao Zheng on purpose? Or it happened that there was an empty seat next to Xiao Zheng?
It must be the latter. Fang Ya is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. She is already a deputy director. How could she fall in love with a grassroots cadre at the deputy county level? There is no such possibility. Among the women he knows in provincial agencies
Among cadres, those who are either high or low are always high. Which woman would date a man who is worse than herself?
．
Thinking of this, Liu Yongzhu felt a little relieved. There would still be a chance to get close to Fang Ya later. Especially after a few glasses of wine, the drunk woman would be more relaxed, and maybe he would have a chance.
Got it!
Both the members of the inspection team from Jiangzhong and the leading cadres from Ninggan who came out to greet the guests had already arrived. Cao Guang, director of the reception office, bowed slightly and came to the side of Deputy Secretary Sun Mingqian to report: "Secretary Sun
, everyone is here, please give a toast, and then we will start the dinner!"
Sun Ming stepped forward and said to Lu Zaixing on his left: "Minister Lu, can I just say a few words?" Lu Zaixing turned slightly sideways: "Secretary Sun, please."
Sun Mingqian stood up and said: "As the saying goes, 'The chasm can be crossed, and the mountains and seas can be leveled'. Under the overall arrangement of Huajing, our Jiangzhong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government sent a paired poverty alleviation inspection team to fly across thousands of mountains and rivers to thousands of miles."
Ninggan outside the country has moved us all from Ninggan to Ninggan. First of all, on behalf of the Ninggan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, let me extend a warm welcome to the arrival of Minister Lu and his delegation."
As Sun Mingqian spoke, he applauded first. Then everyone else also applauded. Sun Mingqian waited patiently for everyone's applause to fall, and then said: "Tomorrow, the Secretary of the Ninggan Provincial Party Committee and the Governor will attend the paired poverty alleviation inspection team meeting.
, the two main leaders of Ningxia and Gansu will personally introduce our situation in Ninggan to the inspection team. Today, I was entrusted by the two main leaders to pick up the wind and wash away the dust along the way for Minister Lu and his party."
Lu Zaixing, Zhang Wei, Gu Cuiping and other Jiangzhong leaders saw that Sun Mingqian had not taken any manuscripts, but he spoke clearly and affectionately. No matter what he thought in his heart, it at least showed that Secretary Sun was capable.
.
Just listen to Sun Mingqian say again: "It is a pity that our Ningxia belongs to the northwest region, and the economic and social development level is not small compared with Jiangzhong Province. But 'no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor'. The people of Ningxia are hospitable.
Now that the leaders of Jiangzhong have come to Ninggan, our Ninggan must give them a good reception. From today on, the Ninggan family in Jiangzhong is a family. I hope that the leaders will not dislike this "poor relative" of Ninggan. He should eat and drink when he should. Everyone.
Eating well and drinking well can give us Ninggan people face and recognize us as relatives in Ninggan!"
Gu Cuiping thought to herself that Minister Lu had expected it right. Ninggan really planned to entertain them with good wine and food. If they didn't eat or drink, it would be really difficult and make Ninggan's leader lose face. The wine seemed to be right.
It's too late to drink.
After hearing this, Minister Lu also stood up and said: "Secretary Sun is serious. We are all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation and members of the big family of the People's Republic of China. After the reform and opening up, the country encouraged the eastern coastal areas to get rich first, and the policy
The policies, talents, and money that were supposed to be equally distributed to each province were invested in the eastern coast, which made our provinces such as Jiangsu and Zhongjiang become rich first.
Latest chapter!
So, as long as there are still provinces in the west that are not rich and people are not out of poverty, not only the country is responsible, but we, the eastern coastal provinces that have enjoyed preferential treatment before, are also responsible. Therefore, Ninggan and Gansu are poor, and we in Jiangzhong have no face.
How could he dislike Ning Gan and underestimate Ning Gan?
That's it, then let it be. Thirty years ago, I was on the Loess Plateau and the people in Ninggan were famous for their hospitality. When I arrived in Ninggan, I couldn't have had a cup of "Sai Shang Chun" and a bite of mutton.
The people of Ninggan will not let you leave. Therefore, today our inspection team has also made up its mind to do as the Romans do, without being polite."
As soon as Minister Lu finished speaking, everyone burst into applause. Xiao Zheng was also affected by these words of Minister Lu, and his heart was surging. What is the relationship between the eastern provinces and the western provinces? Why should the country promote the poverty alleviation strategy? In Minister Lu's words
These words have also been clarified. Although Xiao Zheng understood the situation in Ninggan before, his understanding of the country's major policies was not that profound.
It seems that my visit to Ninggan has another meaning besides finding dragon-shaped and phoenix-shaped lightning for Fang Ya.
"What a saying, 'When you do as the Romans do, don't be polite'!" After hearing what Lu Zaixing said, Sun Mingqian was also quite excited and said: "Minister Lu has feelings for us Ninggan, and Minister Lu is a cheerful person. With Minister Lu as the leading group,
Team leader, I think we in Ninggan really have hope! Come, have 'three glasses of fine wine' to pay homage to your loved ones! According to our rules in Ninggan, let's drink three glasses of wine."
Minister Lu said before, "Do as the Romans do", but now the other party proposes to drink three glasses in a row, there is nothing he can do. Everyone can only drink together. The cup is a small cup, but the wine is high alcohol. Xiao Zheng doesn't care, he usually doesn't care.
I have drunk both red and beer, and I have tried both low and high alcohol. However, Xiao Zheng also has a limited amount of alcohol. After three glasses in a row, he suddenly felt drunk.
Many cadres from the south, including team leader Gu Cuiping, had a blush on their faces after drinking three cups of "Song Shang Chun", and they seemed to be several years younger than their actual age. In fact, they were already drunk.
But the drinking didn’t stop there. After the former Deputy Secretary Sun Ming finished his toast, everyone just sat down. Lu Taogui, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Director, stood up and said: "Just now, it was Secretary Sun who made the toast. He represents the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. We
I represent the Organization Department of the Ninggan Provincial Committee. According to our rules here, I will toast from the left first. This is called 'Zuo Fa'. Let's have a drink."
Lu Taogui was the Organization Minister of the Standing Committee, and he rose to the rank of deputy department. He took the initiative to toast, and it was impossible for everyone not to drink. So he picked up another wine glass and drank another glass. However, after the glass went down, Lu Taogui raised another glass.
After two glasses of wine, he said: "Just now it was 'Left Fa', now it's 'You Shun', I'm serving from the right side." Another right side? Another cup!
Since you drank the first cup, you must drink the second cup too.
Just after the second cup was finished, Lu Taogui said again: "This third cup is a 'self-drink', that is, I drink it by myself, but would you like to accompany me? I feel too lonely drinking alone." Lu Taogui
Having said that, Secretary Sun said: "I'm here to accompany you, Minister Lu. Do you want to drink too?" Minister Lu has a good drinking capacity, so he joined him. Minister Lu drank, and other leaders from Jiangzhong also drank.
Can I not drink it?
As soon as the two Ninggan leaders toasted, everyone drank six cups of wine in total. If the amount of wine was small, they were already full, and if they drank any more, they would be drunk.
However, the wine was far from over. Shanchuan Bai, the deputy governor of Ninggan Province, stood up again and said, "Dear leaders, I will imitate you. Just now, Minister Lu made a toast, and I am here to toast you too. I just don't know if you will give me a toast."
Face?" Deputy Secretary Sun Mingqian immediately introduced: "Minister Lu, Governor Shan is a member of the Standing Committee of our provincial party committee and deputy governor. He is directly in charge of important tasks such as economy, transportation, agriculture, etc., and he should be the leader who will have the most contact with you in the future."
The deputy governor of the Standing Committee is no lower than Minister Lu in terms of position! Since Lu Taogui drank the wine before, shouldn’t he not drink the wine of Governor Shan? Don’t people have to have ideas? So these three glasses of wine also
Must drink.
As soon as we came up, the nine small cups of wine were gone, and everyone was drinking nine cups. There were several deputy directors in Jiangzhong who had poor drinking ability, and the director was already blushing and shaky. Gu Cuiping's face was also blushing, she knew
If I only have two glasses of wine at most, I might get drunk. Keeping up like this is not an option.
Gu Cuiping waved to Liu Yongzhu, who was sitting at the main table. When he came out this time, Liu Yongzhu was entrusted with coordinating organizational work. It was his turn to come up with a solution for today's situation. Liu Yongzhu left his position and
She came to Gu Cuiping and asked: "Team leader Gu, what are your orders?" Gu Cuiping said: "You think of a way to solve the drinking bureau today? If you drink like this, everyone will fall down, and the impact will be bad.
.”
Gu Cuiping spoke to him in Hangcheng dialect, but the people from Ninggan and Gansu could not understand her.
Liu Yongzhu also knew that if everyone accompanying Ning Gan came to toast three glasses of wine today, Minister Lu, Director Zhang and Team Leader Gu would all be drunk. But how to resolve the drinking situation and give face to each other is really a troublesome thing.
question.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Liu Yongshu's head.
He whispered in Gu Cuiping's ear with bright eyes. After hearing this, Gu Cuiping asked: "Is this okay?" Liu Yong swore: "This is better than being beaten by others." Gu Cuiping said:
