The car drove to a secluded place outside the city. After going around a hillside covered with green trees, there was a hotel like a paradise inside.
Liang Jian guessed that this should be a hospitality hotel designated by the province.
After the car stopped, Liang Jian followed Xu Jinghua out of the car and walked inside. When he walked to the door and saw Qin An, Liang Jian suddenly realized that today's meal might not just be Xu Jinghua and Minister Cui from Beijing.
Sure enough, as Liang Jian expected, those present today were Diao Yimin, Huo Jiaju, and Xiang Guoping, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Liang Jian had only met this deputy secretary twice.
When Liang Jian arrived, the people from Beijing had not arrived yet. However, Diao Yimin and the others had already arrived. They were all surprised to see Liang Jian appear.
Diao Yimin even asked directly: "Liang Jian, why are you here?"
When he spoke, he didn't look at Xu Jinghua. But Liang Jian didn't believe it. He didn't see it. He followed Xu Jinghua in. Xu Jinghua didn't mean to speak, so Liang Jian had to answer by himself: "I don't know either, Minister Xu.
He said that Minister Cui from Beijing asked me to participate. Secretary Diao, is this true or false?"
Liang Jian deliberately pretended to be stupid, while Diao Yimin's expression was not very good. He glanced at Xu Jinghua and said: "Since Comrade Jinghua said that Minister Cui asked you to come, then you can stay."
Tan An, who was waiting aside, heard this and immediately went out to ask the waiter to add a seat. Tan An's face turned bad when he walked out. For such a dinner, they were not even qualified to have a seat in that room, but Liang
A municipal party committee secretary in Jianqu District can have a position in it. Although he is at the bottom, the salary is enough for him and makes many people covet him.
Qin An personally moved the stool to Liang Jian and put it down. When he raised his head, he said to Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, you have to behave well later. Don't waste my help in moving this stool for you."
Tan An's voice was not loud, and there was probably no one else who heard it except Liang Jian.
Liang Jian looked at the half-hearted smile on Tan An's face, smiled, and didn't answer.
No one sat down, and Liang Jian naturally couldn't sit down either. Xu Jinghua, Huo Jiaju, Xiang Guoping and Diao Yimin stood together and talked. No one called him, so he could only stand in the corner.
About ten minutes later, Tan An opened the door and came in and said, "Minister Cui and the others are here."
Diao Yimin and the others immediately stopped talking and walked out in unison. Liang Jian followed at the end. Minister Cui and the others came from the building next to the building where they were eating. There was a verandah between the two buildings, and the stone pillars of the veranda were
It is entangled with a kind of vine, which happens to be full of bright red and purple flowers in bloom this season. The flowers are somewhat like roses and are very beautiful. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and it can bring out wisps of faint fragrance, which makes people intoxicated.
Diao Yimin led them to stand at one end of the verandah, waiting for Minister Cui and the other five people to come over and shake hands one by one. After Minister Cui shook hands with Diao Yimin and the others in turn, Diao Yimin was about to lead them to the restaurant, but he stretched out his hand.
, suddenly Minister Cui passed him and walked towards Liang Jian, who was standing at the end.
Diao Yimin frowned slightly.
"Are you Liang Jian?" Minister Cui stood in front of Liang Jian and asked him with a smile. Liang Jian was a little dazed. This Minister Cui was very unfamiliar, and Liang Jian must have never seen him before.
However, he stood in front of Liang Jian with a very friendly attitude, and his smile was like that of a kind elder.
"Liang Jian, is Minister Cui talking to you?" Diao Yimin saw Liang Jian didn't respond and shouted with a stern face.
Liang Jian was startled, came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed slightly and replied: "Yes. Minister Cui, hello." Liang Jian stretched out his hand, and Minister Cui immediately stretched out his hand and took it. Soon, another
His hand came over, held it, and shook it a few times.
This action made everyone present dumbfounded. Generally, only when subordinates shake hands with their superiors, or between peers, they use both hands to hold each other's hands. It is rare for superiors to hold each other's hands with both hands when shaking hands with subordinates.
What's more, one is the director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the other is the secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city. The difference in rank between the two is not one or two.
Liang Jian was also shocked. This was not the right time to get to the bottom of things.
After letting go of his hand, Minister Cui smiled at Liang Jian and said, "You have a great reputation up there now!"
Liang Jian was shocked again. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Diao Yimin who looked not very good, Xu Jinghua who looked complicated, Huo Jiaju who was thoughtful, and Xiang Guoping who was surprised. He smiled modestly and said: "Minister Cui
Just kidding, how can I, a small municipal party committee secretary, get such a big stage? Minister Cui please come in."
Minister Cui smiled, glanced at Liang Jian, and walked inside. Liang Jian immediately stepped aside, and Diao Yimin stepped forward and walked next to Minister Cui.
Xu Jinghua deliberately stayed a step behind, walked together with Liang Jian, and whispered to Liang Jian: "This Minister Cui will probably ask you to sit next to him later. You should be mentally prepared and speak less later."
Liang Jian hummed.
When they arrived at the box, as Xu Jinghua expected, before Minister Cui sat down, he asked Liang Jian: "Where do you sit?"
Liang Jian pointed to the seat in front of him right at the door and said, "I'll sit here."
"It's too far!" Minister Cui said, pointing to the seat next to Huo Jiaju's seat and saying, "Sit here."
Liang Jian glanced at that position, raised his eyes, and glanced at Huo Jiaju's face that showed no signs of anger, and said: "This is not appropriate, I am the youngest here, so it is appropriate to accompany me to the last position."
But Minister Cui said: "Don't worry, I told you to sit here, so sit here for the convenience of talking."
At this time, Xu Jinghua interjected: "Minister Cui said that you should sit over there." Liang Jian was brought by Xu Jinghua, so what he said was not overstepping the bounds.
Liang Jian hesitated for a moment, then raised his legs and walked over.
Huo Jiaju automatically moved to the side. Minister Cui looked at Huo Jiaju and said, "Xiao Huo doesn't have any objections, right?"
Huo Jiaju smiled and shook his head: "How come, isn't it just a place? Besides, I don't want to be too close to you, otherwise if I start drinking later, I will be in trouble."
Minister Cui smiled, raised his hand, nodded at him, and said, "You!"
If the two of them can joke around, their relationship should not be simple.
Everyone sat down one after another, and Liang Jian sat down next to Minister Cui with some anxiety. As soon as he sat down, Tan An came in to pour wine for the leaders. When he took the bottle and walked to Minister Cui first, he was about to pour wine for Minister Cui.
The wine was first stopped by Minister Cui's raised hand. Then a man in his thirties, who had been standing at the cabinet at the door and fiddling with something, turned around and walked straight to Minister Cui's cup with a blue and white porcelain cup.
Next to him, he smiled slightly at Tan An and said, "Our minister doesn't drink this kind of wine."
After he finished speaking, Huo Jiaju also said: "Secretary-General Tan, Minister Cui only drinks health wine. You can pour it for Secretary Diao first."
Tan An had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and he stood there awkwardly without moving for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something or do something to make amends, but in the end he said nothing or did nothing, and walked around Cui
The man who should be the secretary of the minister went to pour wine for Diao Yimin.
First came Diao Yimin, then Huo Jiaju, followed by the other two members of the Central Organization Department in the normal order. Tan An was about to walk over with a bottle of wine when suddenly Xu Jinghua stopped Tan An and said: "Secretary-General Tan, please wait a moment.
Wait." He said, turning to look at Liang Jian and said: "Liang Jian, you are the youngest here, do you still want Secretary-General Qin to pour you a drink later?"
These words seemed to be reprimanding Liang Jian for being ignorant, but no matter how you heard it, it sounded like he wanted Liang Jian to show off.
In fact, when Qin An came over with the wine bottle, Liang Jian never thought of standing up and taking over, but the person sitting today is a little different. He is the leader of the Central Organization Department. This is not a problem for Qin An, or for everyone here.
For everyone, it is an opportunity to perform. The relationship between Liang Jian and Qin An is not very good, it can even be said to be bad, but Liang Jian does not want to be too high-profile at today's dinner and steal the opportunity to perform.
I don’t want to do something.
A bad relationship doesn't bring good results, but there is still a long way to go before making people hate you.
However, Xu Jinghua wanted Liang Jian to do this kind of thing. Maybe he wanted Liang Jian to show off more, or maybe he wanted Liang Jian to completely distance himself from Diao Yimin. After all, what Minister Cui said before
It shows that Liang Jian's worth has changed in these ten minutes.
Xu Jinghua had already spoken. If Liang Jian didn't stand up, he would not only look ignorant, but also offend Xu Jinghua. Liang Jian could only stand up.
When Qin An handed over the bottle, although he was smiling, his dissatisfaction with Liang Jian was clearly visible in his eyes. Liang Jian poured the wine for the remaining people one by one. After finishing, he thought about it and walked to the door to get it.
He took a cup, poured another cup, handed it to Tan An, who was still standing there, and said, "Secretary-General Qin, thank you for your hard work."
Qin An glanced at Liang Jian, his eyes were not dissatisfied with Liang Jian's action. Liang Jian didn't care, he hated it anyway, so be it. Liang Jian returned to his seat and sat down, Qin An took the
The wine glass stood there, waiting for Diao Yimin and the others to finish their opening remarks and toast one by one. He took the wine glass and went to have a drink with Minister Cui, and then took a drink with the other two people from the Central Organization Department before taking it away.
As soon as he left, the man who had been standing behind Minister Cui also withdrew. As soon as the door was closed, everyone in the room except Liang Jian, who was inappropriate, was the core of today.
At first, they all drank separately. After Liang Jian and Minister Cui had a drink, they were about to put something in their stomachs. Suddenly, the comrade from the Central Organization Department sitting on the other side of Huo Jiaju stood up and walked directly to Liang Jian.
Next to Jian, he held up a cup and said: "Liang Jian, let's have a drink?"
Liang Jian was so shocked that he hurriedly stood up, filled his glass with only half a glass of wine left, and said: "The commander-in-chief looks up to me. I respect the commander, I will do it, you can do whatever you want."
"No, no, no! For those who are not leaders, my name is Bi Hua. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Bi." Bi Hua, a comrade from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, smiled in an approachable manner, but Liang Jian felt extremely uneasy.
When he said this, Liang Jian didn't dare to really say it. What's more, he was confused as to what was going on today.
Liang Jiandao: "Don't dare! You are the chief, how can I call you eldest brother? This is against the rules!"
