Yang Wenguo had arranged the most luxurious private room in the hotel. He had arrived early, wearing casual clothes and bringing three friends.
When Jiang Qiyong and the others walked into the private room, the people inside stood up to greet them. Yang Wenguo walked towards Jiang Qiyong with a smile: "Jiang Bureau, you are late today."
Jiang Qiyong smiled and shook hands with him: "There is a meeting at the unit. Bureau Xiao was out recently, and all the affairs of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism fell on me. I am very busy, but fortunately Director Xu helped me." He followed the instructions.
This sentence pushed Xu Chunliang to the stage.
Yang Wenguo let go of Jiang Qiyong's hand and looked at Xu Chunliang with a friendly smile: "Director Xu, we finally meet."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You know, if you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late. We are all in Jeju, so we will have a chance to meet sooner or later." He took the initiative to extend his hand to Yang Wenguo.
Yang Wenguo shook hands with him enthusiastically: "Every time I meet with Jiang Bureau, Jiang Bureau will mention you and say that the two of us have similar interests and will definitely hit it off." His words showed that the meeting between him and Jiang Qiyong was no longer the same thing.
For the first time, he also hinted to Xu Chunliang that they could find common ground, which was considered a proactive gesture of goodwill.
Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "I have been known to Bureau Yang for a long time, and I have wanted to visit for a long time. But I have just arrived at the new unit and I am busy adapting to the work. Bureau Chiang has put a lot of burdens on me, so we didn't have the chance to meet until today."
.”
Hu Yun smiled and said: "Please take a seat, Director Yang, what kind of wine are you having tonight?"
Yang Wenguo said: "Use Lao Qiu's cave to hide old wine."
Lao Qiu was present. He is Qiu Haitian, the CEO of Jeju Holy City Development Company. He is the largest local developer in Jeju and has the title of the richest man in Jeju. He and Yang Wenguo are good friends and he often appears in Yang Wenguo's drinking bureaus.
The other two people were Yuan Ye, secretary of Jeju South Railway Station, who was an old classmate with Yang Wenguo, and Chang Donglai, director of Jeju Cancer Hospital. Yang Wenguo introduced them respectively.
Everyone was polite and invited Jiang Qiyong to take the seat. Yuan Ye sat on his left. Yang Wenguofei asked Hu Yun to accompany Jiang Qiyong on the right. He was next to Hu Yun. Chang Donglai and Xu Chunliang sat down next to Yuan Ye.
.
The wine was brought up in a decanter. When Xu Chunliang smelled the aroma of the wine, he knew it was Maotai vintage. He poured it into transparent, unlabeled wineware before serving it. Otherwise, it would look too ostentatious, and a normal drinker would be confused as soon as he touched his mouth.
Understood.
Xu Chunliang knew very well that Yang Wenguo's financial strength could not support such a drinking party. Tonight was not just a drinking party for him, but also a preliminary display of his circle of friends. Yang Wenguo had a wide network of contacts in Jeju, and Qiu Haitian was undoubtedly
He is the loyal sponsor behind him.
Xu Chunliang couldn't say anything about this. After all, this kind of thing is very common in the system. If you want to move up in the system, you can't avoid being in the circle. As long as you are in the circle, you can't avoid eating and drinking. Eating and drinking requires money. There is no such thing.
Which public official is willing to spend his salary to pay for relationships, not to mention that even if they spend all of their salary, it won't be enough.
Using public funds is a minefield. Really smart people will not do this. At Yang Wenguo's level, there is no shortage of people who take the initiative to pay for him. Others are willing to do things for him not because of his personality charm, but because he has the power in his hands.
.
Hu Yun stood up to pour the wine. Her movements were professional and skillful. It was obvious that she was used to the scene. She spoke to everyone very well, just right and without being disrespectful.
Xu Chunliang quickly understood Yang Wenguo's intention of arranging for her to sit next to Jiang Qiyong. Hu Yun was very discerning and could take care of almost every detail.
Jiang Qiyong also enjoys this kind of care very much, and it can be seen that he is in a good mood.
After three drinks, everyone was looking for someone to drink with. Yang Wenguo took the initiative to approach Xu Chunliang: "Director Xu, I respect you."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Director Yang, you are too polite. In terms of age, you are older than me and in terms of rank, you are higher than me. I should respect you."
Yang Wenguo said: "There is a reason why I say this. My brother-in-law caused a lot of trouble before and caused obstacles to your work. I use this glass of wine to express my apology."
Xu Chunliang said: "Public or private, the matter is over. Besides, you, the brother-in-law, cannot be held responsible for Hu Xianyong's mistakes, don't you think so?"
Yang Wenguo chuckled and said, "I'll do it first as a token of respect." He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Xu Chunliang also finished the wine. Before the glass fell to the floor, Yang Wenguo had already taken the wine dispenser to pour wine for him: "Two glasses."
Xu Chunliang said: "Director Yang, can't you pour me wine? I'll do it."
The two were polite for a while, but in the end Xu Chunliang insisted on helping Yang Wenguo fall.
Yang Wenguo held a small wine glass and said: "What I say most often is that the two most important things in life are work and making friends. On the one hand, we must do the work assigned to us by the party well and be worthy of the country and the people.
, on the one hand, we must make good friends, and making friends means uniting comrades. Only by uniting comrades to help each other can we do a better job."
Coming with Jiang Qiyong, Xu Chunliang couldn't let Jiang Qiyong charge into battle, not to mention his own drinking capacity. Even if he was alone against everyone else, Xu Chunliang could win completely.
Yuan Ye is more talkative, but his drinking capacity is the worst among them. Chang Donglai has a good drinking capacity and is very good at talking. He can quickly find common topics with everyone at the table.
Qiu Haitian is a relatively introverted person, always smiling and cautious in his words and deeds. However, as long as someone comes to him for a drink, he will always come and he should have a good drinking capacity.
Yang Wenguo and Xu Chunliang drank six drinks, but he controlled his drinking very well and rarely drank with his friends. Maybe he wanted to stay rational, or maybe he didn't drink well and was worried that he wouldn't be able to stay rational after drinking.
Hu Yun drank a few glasses of wine, and her face turned bright red, making her look even more charming. Even though she was sitting next to Jiang Qiyong, she could still pay attention to everyone present, and she would never be able to do so when she was present.
Make any guest feel left out.
The quality of the dinner was very high. Xu Chunliang initially estimated that the meal must have cost more than 30,000 yuan.
Jiang Qiyong was quite satisfied with the atmosphere of the dinner. After all, he organized the game. Before coming here, he was worried that Xu Chunliang would not give Yang Wenguo face. He knew Xu Chunliang's temper very well. If he was touched by Ni Lin, even the king of heaven would not
Give face.
In fact, Xu Chunliang not only gave him face, but also because there was no direct contradiction or conflict between Xu Chunliang and Yang Wenguo. At least for now, he had no reason to be hostile to Yang Wenguo.
Except Yang Wenguo mentioned his brother-in-law Hu Xianyong at first, he never mentioned it again. Everyone is understanding. They have expressed their relationship, expressed their apologies, and fully demonstrated their sincerity. You understand what I want. If you don't give it to me in the future,
Face means knowingly committing a crime and breaking etiquette. Even if I do something sorry to you, you can't blame me.
Yang Wenguo had gotten to know Xu Chunliang a lot and knew that this young man was not easy to mess with. He didn't want to provoke Xu Chunliang. If it weren't for that bastard brother-in-law, he might not have any contact with Xu Chunliang. Today's game is based on the hope of the future.
With the idea that peace is precious, Yang Wenguo hopes that everything will end here.
Just because Yang Wenguo didn't say it didn't mean that others didn't say it. Yuan Ye was obviously a little excited after drinking. When he went to Xu Chunliang for a drink, he took the initiative to mention Hu Xianyong: "Director Xu, Xianyong will have to rely on you to take care of him in your unit from now on."
Xu Chunliang glanced at Yang Wenguo, who smiled and said: "Old Yuan, you don't have to say this."
Yuan Ye said: "We are all members of our own family. There is nothing we can say. Lao Yuan and I are classmates. Xianyong and I are brothers. He is more reckless, but he is still very loyal. Director Xu, if he messes with you again in the future,
Tell me."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Secretary Yuan, I have remembered your words." He was thinking secretly in his heart, how could that fool Hu Xianyong become sworn sworn friends with Yuan Ye? It is estimated that Yuan Ye also got closer to Yang Wenguo through this relationship. This phenomenon within the system
Very common.
Jiang Qiyong picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, we are so happy tonight, I suggest that we all have a drink together."
His proposal was responded to by everyone. When Jiang Qiyong drank the wine and put it down, he glanced at Hu Yun because what he just drank was water. Hu Yun glanced at him and quickly looked away.
, a smile that can only be understood but cannot be expressed appeared on the corner of his lips.
Jiang Qiyong felt warm in his heart. She was really considerate to herself. She quietly poured pure water for herself without others noticing. Many times, what impresses a man is not her beauty, but her silent thoughtfulness and care.
.
Others couldn't see it, but Xu Chunliang could see it clearly. In such a small wine shop, with just these few people, he could see clearly and secretly sighed in his heart, Jiang Qiyong, Jiang Qiyong, don't be moved by yourself. This is a carefully created tenderness.
Trap, you are about to fall into it.
Xu Chunliang became wary of Yang Wenguo. This deputy director who smiled harmlessly was good at what he did. The drunkard's intention in tonight's meal was not the wine.
Xu Chunliang originally thought that he was the guest of honor at Yang Wenguo's banquet, and tried to ease or even bring them closer to each other in this way to prevent him from pursuing Hu Xianyong to the end. But after arriving, he discovered that Yang Wenguo really wanted to get closer.
The person is still Jiang Qiyong.
Yang Wenguo probably thought that as long as Jiang Qiyong was dealt with, all problems would be solved, so he invested a lot of energy in Jiang Qiyong.
If Xu Chunliang guessed correctly, Hu Yun should be one of the baits thrown by Yang Wenguo. If Jiang Qiyong fell into his trap, it might not be so easy to escape in the future.
Xu Chunliang originally wanted to end the drinking party as soon as possible, but Jiang Qiyong didn't mention it, and it was inconvenient for him to come out and say this. At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qiyong finally remembered to end it.
Qiu Haitian, who had been silent, suggested: "Let's take a bath before leaving and feel the hotel's bathing culture. The masseurs here are top-notch."
Jiang Qiyong smiled and said: "No, go back and rest early, we have to work tomorrow."
Qiu Haitian smiled and said: "Did Jiang Bureau misunderstand? This place is very formal. You should experience it. Only by being more relaxed can you work better."
