Chapter 167 [Old Street 1919] (II)
She has already held Zuo Xiaoqing's hand, and the two have talked quite speculatively, she has been in the United States for many years, Zuo Xiaojing is studying in Zhenguo, and the two have a lot of common topics.
Zhang Daguan ginseng couldn't get into the conversation of the senior leaders, and he couldn't get involved in the secret conversation between the girls, so he could only say hello to Tian Bin, and the two had nothing in common.
Tian Bin asked, "Coming?" Zhang Daguan said: "It's coming!" And then there were no words.
Zuo Yongjun invited everyone to take a seat, if according to the official position, it should be the first place for Zuo Yuanchao, but in terms of age, it should be Tian Qinglong, after some pushing, or let Zuo Yongjun be the first, and the others sat down in turn.
Zhang Daguan and Tian Bin sat at the table, I don't know if it was a coincidence, Zuo Xiaoqing was arranged to sit next to Zhang Yang. As soon as Xiao Nizi's eyes met Zhang Yang, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red to the root of her ears.
These people are all elites who have been in the political arena for many years, and they have grasped the key to the matter from their subtle performances, Li Changyu suddenly woke up, today is not just a thank-you banquet, how can there be a bit of a meeting between the two spring chiefs! Zuo Yongjun first expressed his gratitude to everyone present, he was not good at words, but everything he said was from the bottom of his heart and sincere.
Li Changyu said with a smile: "Everyone can get together, don't be so polite, in fact, we didn't help much, the main thing is that you have no problems yourself, and the facts prove your innocence." ”
Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said: "Changyu is right, today is a day worth celebrating, let's drink, don't mention unhappy things again." He took the initiative to find Li Changyu, Li Changyu and Zuo Yuanchao drank two glasses, and the two of them usually have a lot of opportunities to drink, but this form of private communication is rare, before Li Changyu was shuanggui, Li Changyu was the executive deputy mayor, and Zuo Yuanchao's ranking was after him, Li Changyu's shuanggui achieved Zuo Yuanchao, so that Zuo Yuanchao seized the opportunity to become the acting mayor of Jiangcheng, but now both of them have the opportunity to become mayors, and the competition between them is unavoidable.
On this occasion, Zhang Yang didn't have the right to speak, he honestly toasted a cup of wine, and the only gain was to get to know a few of Zuo Xiaoqing's relatives.
Qin Qing naturally saw the subtle feelings between Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing, thinking that when she and Zhang Yang first met, she had also seen the scene of Zhang Yang forcibly kissing Zuo Xiaoqing in the rain, and she regretted it a little in her heart, knowing that this was the case tonight, she shouldn't have come.
In the middle of the banquet, Fang Wennan, the boss of Shengshi Group, came in to toast, he had just heard that these high-ranking officials of the city government were patronizing his hotel, and he was originally talking about business in Emgrand Shengshi, so he rushed over in a panic.
Because of the Third Ring Road project, Li Changyu and Fang Wennan had a lot of contact, and they were also very familiar with him, and said with a smile: "Boss Fang's news is well-informed!" ”
Fang Wennan couldn't help but say embarrassedly while holding the wine glass: "Several leaders are here, and they will look at Haihan where they are waiting!" ”
Zuo Yuanchao said with a smile: "We are an ordinary family banquet, and you came here to do this, but it disturbed our atmosphere." He has always had some prejudices against Fang Wennan, and naturally he didn't show any mercy when he spoke, although he said this with a smile, in fact, the meaning of the reprimand was already obvious.
After all, Fang Wennan is a veteran who has been fighting in the mall for many years, and said with an apologetic smile: "Mayor Zuo is right, I came uninvited, disturbing everyone's interest, so let's do it, I will punish myself with three cups!" He filled the waiter with three glasses of wine and drank them all in one go.
Zhang Yang secretly sighed in his heart, letting him drink a glass of wine on weekdays is like drinking poison, and he can't imagine that he will see the leader like a good grandson, and he must be ridiculed in the future.
Fang Wennan also has his difficulties, he is indeed easy not to drink, but when he comes to this kind of occasion, it is not something he can control, there are three members of the Standing Committee of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee in this room, no matter who stomps on Jiangcheng, he has to tremble three times, does he dare not to give face to others?
Li Changyu knew Fang Wennan's amount of alcohol, and Fu said: "Forget it, don't force it if you can't drink it, we are mainly here to talk, not to fight wine, Boss Fang really has a heart, go back and add two dishes to me from the special dishes of your land of fish and rice!" ”
Fang Wennan smiled and nodded, he couldn't invite these people on weekdays, let alone adding vegetables, he said that he wouldn't harvest anything about this table. He came to Zhang Yang's side and patted Zhang Yang's shoulder and said: "Zhang Yang and I are buddies who talk about everything, if a few leaders have any instructions, just tell Zhang Yang, I will correct the dissatisfaction immediately!" With that, he said goodbye to the crowd and exited the door.
Fang Wennan's words are quite flattering, he emphasized that the relationship with Zhang Yang is not only to show the friendship between them, but also to put himself and Zhang Yang in the same position, most of the people present are Zhang Yang's elders, Fang Wennan is sincere enough, willing to call himself a son and nephew, this is his shrewdness.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Zhang Yang quietly, and when Zhang Yang was maneuvering between everyone with ease, she found that Zhang Yang had changed a lot compared to when she was in Chunyang, and this change was so huge that the shadow in her memory began to become blurred, and she didn't know why she felt like this.
When Zhang Yang toasted Zuo Yongjun, Zuo Yongjun didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder, and his appreciation and gratitude to Zhang Yang were already self-evident.
The atmosphere of the dinner was harmonious and joyful, although Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu had their own hearts, but on this occasion, they were able to cover themselves well, which was a kind of hypocrisy and a quality, at least on the surface, Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu, the two competitors, still seemed to be very friendly, cordial like a pair of good friends who talked about everything, Zuo Yuanchao mentioned the matter of the Third Ring Road project because of the appearance of Fang Wennan.
Li Changyu briefly told him about the preparations for the project, and everything went quite smoothly.
Zuo Yuanchao heard him say this, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he had mentioned the Third Ring Road project at the beginning, but he was arranged by Hong Weiji to Li Changyu and used Li Changyu to contain himself. Zuo Yuanchao understands that before the next election, he must come up with a brilliant political performance, and he must not be compared with Li Changyu, only in this way can he get his wish to remove the code in front of the mayor. At the beginning, he didn't take Li Changyu in his eyes, but as time went by, he found that Li Changyu was indeed a very thoughtful and capable person, regardless of the different entry points of grass change, in the matter of the eldest brother, Li Changyu unexpectedly stood opposite Hong Weiji, which is very incredible from the perspective of Zuo Yuanchao. But in Tian Qinglong's view, cadres like Li Changyu are assertive, courageous, and responsible.
The dinner party ended at half past nine, everyone broke up in front of the hotel, although Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaojing sat together throughout the night, they did not have a few words of communication, and when they broke up, Zhang Yang found an opportunity to say: "Will you stay for a while this time?" ”
Zuo Xiaoqing nodded = "more than a month" She looked into the distance) and then whispered:
I'll call you! After speaking, he hurriedly chased after his father.
After a while, only Qin Qing and Zhang Yang were left, Zhang Yang threw the car key in his hand and said, "Go!" I'll send you! ”
Before Qin Qing could speak, she saw Fang Wennan walking towards them, she shook her head helplessly, asked Zhang Yang to get the car keys, and got into his jeep first.
Fang Wennan smiled.
Zhang Yang glanced at him: "Slave face!" Oil one's tongue! ”
Fang Wennan smiled more and more happily: "People can't help but bow their heads under the eaves!" Let's go, I'll invite you to drink! ”
Zhang Yangxin said that this guy has no eyes, he originally planned to be in the world with the beautiful county magistrate, but after thinking about it, Fang Wennan is not this kind of person, he must have something to do with himself, so he nodded and pointed to his jeep: "Get in the car!" ”
"I'll still take my own car over, Lao Cai lqlq!"
"What?" Zhang Yang was slightly stunned.
Fang Wennan smiled and said: "Su Xiaohong has just been renovated, and it has not yet opened for business, go and feel it!" ”
Zhang Yang returned to the jeep, Qin Qing asked him to go to the chauffeur to sit, and when he heard that he was going to drink, he couldn't help frowning: "I don't want to go!" ”
Zhang Yang patted her very upright ** and said, "Good! Su Xiaohong just opened a bar in the old street, let's go and have a look, Secretary Qin will help me check my political performance. ”
When Qin Qing heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile: "You! It's all day long, and I'll supervise you to see if you have violated the law and discipline. She started the engine, and the flamboyant Jeep commander was really good, with both power and comfort, and good sight, even in the parking lot where luxury cars are gathered in the land of fish and rice.
The reason why Su Xiaohong was able to take this place was mainly through Zhang Yang's relationship, but there was nothing unruly in the procedures, Fang Wennan and Su Xiaohong got along with Zhang Yang for a period of time, and knew that although this guy was cynical on the surface, he was actually very sober-minded, and he was a person who wanted to go up, and ordinary interests could not impress him at all, and he had to restrain himself if he cooperated with this kind of person. Fang Wennan is also a far-sighted person, business must comply with the rules to achieve a certain level, and those who play with the rules all day long are destined not to last long.
Qin Qing and Zhang Yang got out of the jeep and found that the ground of the parking lot was all made of bluestone and fu, the decoration style outside the bar was full of the style of old Shanghai, on both sides of the road leading to the gate, the street lamps were antique design, the poster in front of the door was a still of Shanghai Tang, and the bar signboard was also designed to imitate the style of old Shanghai, Qin Qing began to have some interest, and said softly: "I didn't expect Su Xiaohong to have some taste!" ”
Zhang Yang didn't feel anything special, "I looked at it and said, "It's just a pirated version of Shanghai Beach, what's so special?"
Fang Wennan's Lincoln car drove into the parking lot, and Su Xiaohong, who was wearing a red cheongsam, also walked out of the bar at this time, she was also specially dressed up today, her hair was permed and wavy, setting off her goose egg face more and more exquisite, a pair of phoenix eyes flowed with extremely charming looks, and she said delicately from afar: "Director Zhang is here!" ”
Qin Qing saw Su Xiaohong's flirtatious appearance, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but pinch Zhang Yang's arm lightly, Zhang Daguan endured the pain, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Su is really beautiful, tonight she is dressed like a person!" ”
"Ge?"
"That Fang Yanyun on the beach!"
Su Xiaohong's Danfeng eyes widened: "Cut!" Zhang Yang, you beat around the bush and scolded me for being a courtesan! ”
Fang Wennan's laughter sounded from behind him: "People are praising you, Fang Yanyun is famous on the beach, our Jiangcheng is not as good as Shanghai!" ”
The more Su Xiaohong listened, the more uncomfortable she became: "Why do you think I can't even compare to Fang Yanyun?" She glanced at Fang Wennan and said, "If I were Fang Yanyun, you would be Nie Datou!" She glanced at Zhang Yang again, and said coquettishly: "Zhang Yang is Xu Wenqiang, and Secretary Qin is Feng Chengcheng!" This joke was a little too big, Fang Wennan hurriedly coughed, and beckoned Zhang Yang and Qin Qing to enter the door.
Fortunately, Qin Qing was in a good mood tonight, and he didn't hear Su Xiaohong say anything.
Because the decoration has not been long ago, there is still some decoration taste in the interior, but the decoration style inside is very good, the tables, chairs, benches, bar and wine utensils are all carefully arranged, successfully creating the atmosphere of old Shanghai.
Su Xiaohong originally wanted to invite them to sit in a private room, but Zhang Yang thought it was too tasteful, and the bar was not officially open anyway, and it was just as clean to sit in the hall.
Su Xiaohong asked someone to work for a bottle of XO, and she also knew that Zhang Yang was not interested in foreign wine, so she specially opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai for him and made a plate of peanuts. Qin Qing turned around in the bar, returned to Zhang Yang's side and sat down, and said softly: "The decoration here is good, I don't think there is a second place with such a distinctive character in the whole Pinghai." ”
Su Xiaohong was also quite proud, she took a sip of foreign wine, and her lips left a shallow lip print on the glass: "Director Zhang asked me that my decoration style must conform to the style of the entire old street, which should focus on Sui and Tang culture, so I specifically consulted Professor Qin."
The Professor Qin in her mouth is Qin Qing's father, Qin Chuanliang, and he is also the chief consultant of the ancient city wall and the old street scenic area.
Qin Qing showed a slight smile, at the beginning, she also had a lot of complaints about Zhang Yang for getting her father here to help, but later she saw that her father was tired of it, and his body was rejuvenated because of this, Qin Qing only understood that a person can only rejuvenate his life if he finds something he likes, so she no longer has an opposition attitude in this matter.
