The place where Xu Yifan invited Chen Jiaju and others to dinner was a restaurant under the Salina Group. Salina and Tong Keren of the Tong Group have jointly developed the catering industry for many years, and now it has become the best local catering company.
The landlady's man wanted to treat him, so he reserved the restaurant. Chen Jiaju was the first to arrive. When he saw the No. 1 high-end restaurant next to Victoria Bay showing a sign that it was fully booked, Chen Jiaju was already used to Xu Yifan's luxury. He spent his wife's money on it.
, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has nothing to do with Xu Yifan, and what else can others say besides being jealous.
"As long as there is a dinner party, you will be the fastest every time!" Xu Yifan couldn't help but laugh and curse when he saw Chen Jiaju.
Chen Jiaju rolled his eyes at Xu Yifan with disdain and thought to himself, you, a rich man, will treat you to a treat. If you don't eat, you won't eat for free. There will be no psychological pressure if you eat yours. In fact, with Chen Jiaju's current status, there are quite a few people who treat him to dinner, but he
Reasons for whether you want it or not.
"Have you ordered?" Chen Jiaju said neatly and went straight to the topic.
"Isn't everyone here yet? You can order whatever dishes you want!" Xu Yifan said while looking at the time on his phone.
"Who else have you invited?" Chen Jiaju pulled out a chair and sat down. He picked up the menu and started sketching it out politely. You don't have to be embarrassed to be a rich man. Chen Jiaju didn't order his favorite fish or meat. Which dish?
Choose whichever one is more expensive.
"There are also Yingying, Yuan Haoyun and the others!" Xu Yifan said casually.
Chen Jiaju only heard Xiao Xiao say that Xu Yifan was inviting guests to dinner, so he came unceremoniously without asking who else he had invited. When he heard that Li Ying was also here, he felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, when Chan Ka Kui was still in the Crime Unit of the Central Police Station, Li Ying always paid attention to Chan Ka Kui. If there were any big cases in Wan Chai, whether they were related to the Central Police Station or not, Li Ying would invite Chan Ka Kui to participate. There were people in the Central Crime Unit.
When hands are short, as long as Chen Jiaju speaks out, Li Ying will always help.
However, when Li Ying was about to enter the police force, which was the most important stage in his life, Chen Jiaju, a good friend, voted against him. He voted for Li Ying's rival Liu Jiehui, who became the head of the police management department.
Director of the Finance, Administrative Affairs and Planning Department, while Li Ying only got one district director.
Afraid of what might happen, Chen Jiaju was wiping away his cold sweat when Li Ying arrived.
"Ah Tou!" Li Ying just entered the door and saw Xu Yifan and shouted from a distance.
"Sir Xu!" Qiu Zilong followed Li Ying and shouted happily.
Li Ying explained with a wry smile: "Aaron was there when I made the call, so I had to come with him!"
Xu Yifan shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's okay, it's more lively when there are more people." After saying that, he turned to Qiu Zilong, patted the other person's shoulder and said with a smile: "Along, you are getting stronger and stronger!"
"Hehe! Thank you Sir Xu for the compliment, I will continue to work hard!" Qiu Zilong smiled proudly. The Wan Chai Crime Unit has not had any major cases in recent years, and Qiu Zilong has a lot of time to keep fit.
"Order what you like, you don't have to save money for me!" Xu Yifan smiled and pressed Qiu Zilong's muscles, which were really strong. Xu Yifan really likes people who are motivated but don't have too much thought.
"Yes!" Qiu Zilong nodded happily. He was Xu Yifan's old subordinate and was promoted by Xu Yifan from a young police officer.
"Eagle!" Chen Jiaju stood up awkwardly and greeted Li Ying when he saw him.
"Yeah!" Li Ying hummed and found a chair to sit down.
“.…”
"Have you been busy lately?" Chen Jiaju said with a smile when he had nothing to say.
"It's okay. The small branch office doesn't have the complicated affairs of the police department!" Li Ying said while looking at the ceiling.
"Uh! It's good if you're not busy, it's good if you're not busy!" Chen Jiaju said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Wow, Sir Chen, you ordered so many dishes, can you finish them all?" Qiu Zilong took Chen Jiaju's order and shouted.
Someone talked to me, and the atmosphere was not so awkward. Chen Jiaju quickly patted his chest and said with a smile: "I can't finish eating. I still have Eagle and you. Don't look at the long names of these dishes, but they are actually very small." Chen Jiaju ranked first.
For the first time, I felt that Qiu Zilong was very pleasing to the eye.
"Yingying, what dish do you like to eat? I'll order it for you. By the way, I remember you like Puning Bean Sauce Chicken. I wonder if it's available here?" Chen Jiaju said and started flipping through the menu with Qiu Zilong.
"Jiaju, no, thank you!" Li Ying forced a smile with a stiff face.
Chen Jiaju heard Li Ying speak and introduced happily: "Don't worry, Eagle. Apart from other abilities, this guy Afan has a very picky mouth. He invited us here for dinner, and it must taste great."
Li Ying nodded and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
In fact, Li Ying is not angry that he cannot enter the police station. Xu Yifan explained this to him a few years ago. This is not a unilateral reason. It is mainly because Xu Yifan is too strong. This is the result of a balanced political game.
The entire police force is divided into the operations department and the management department. Xu Yifan is in charge of the operations department. His subordinates Li Wenbin and Li Kui have served as the director of the operations department and the director of the criminal and security department respectively. They are both senior assistant directors. The entire police force
The Action Department of the Affairs Office is all under the auspices of Deputy Director Xu Yifan.
At that time, Lu Minghua of the Police Management Department had just taken over, and he was far inferior to Xu Yifan in terms of connections, reputation, and ability. In addition, Chen Jiaju, the director of the Personnel and Training Department under Lu Minghua, was Xu Yifan's best friend. Lu Qichang, the director of the Supervision Department, and Xu Yifan
We have a life-long friendship, and if Li Ying were to take over the Finance and Government Affairs Office, then Xu Yifan would be better than the 'First Brother' even though he was not the 'First Brother'.
Xu Yifan's situation at that time was very prosperous, not to mention the "first brother". The Security Bureau became nervous. Politics is about checks and balances. There are never absolute friends. The three departments of the Financial Secretary, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Administration together wrote to the Security Bureau, requesting
The Security Bureau handled the incident carefully. This is how Li Ying was sacrificed. Rather than saying that Chen Jiaju voted for Liu Jiehui based on the overall situation, it is better to say that Li Ying was sacrificed for Xu Yifan, because the operations department was already Xu Yifan's people, and the management
The department must not interfere with anyone else, and Xu Yifan is not at a loss. This guy eventually became the deputy director of the Security Bureau.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Ying not to blame Chen Jiaju. It is one thing to fail in the nomination, but it is another thing not to vote for him as a good brother. Putting himself in the situation, if it were Chen Jiaju who was nominated, Li Ying would vote for Chen Jiaju no matter what.
As long as there are more than two people in a room, there will definitely be a question of sides. Chen Jiaju will stand on the side of justice, while Li Ying will definitely stand on the side of his brother. The two already have a grudge.
Xu Yifan also enjoyed Li Ying's confrontation with Chen Jiaju and deliberately stood at the door and did not come back.
"Lao Yuan! Lao Lu! How did you two meet together like this?" Xu Yifan exclaimed in surprise.
Yuan Haoyun and Lu Qichang arrived together. Yuan Haoyun was a good guy now. He was not empty-handed and even brought two bottles of brandy.
Yuan Haoyun's face is a little older, but he is still energetic, especially when he smiles, he has an uncle charm that only middle-aged men can have.
Seeing Xu Yifan greeting him at the door, Yuan Haoyun and Lu Qichang were stunned for a moment. When did Xu Yifan condescend to someone so low? This guy couldn't have made an appointment with the 'First Brother'. It's wrong to think about it! Even if it's the 'First Brother'
It's not like Xu Yifan has never done this before with his legs crossed and eating alone.
