In Jinjiang City, the most upscale restaurant, is Guiyuan Restaurant, the boss is named Li Guiting, is a native of Jinjiang, born in a small owner family, used to be a worker in a state-owned enterprise, five years of resignation abroad to inherit an inheritance, two years ago after returning to China to engage in the catering industry, not long ago, Chang Ning and Li Guiting participated in the provincial Federation of overseas Chinese meeting, the two of them have a relationship, and later Chang Ning also recommended him to the chairman of the CPPCC Gao Zhengguo, so that Li Guiting became a member of the CPPCC as an overseas Chinese, Li Guiting was even more grateful to Chang Ning. -

The location of Changning's treat, of course, should choose Guiyuan Restaurant.

Hearing that Chang Ning was going to have a treat in his own restaurant, Li Guiting dared to be lazy, and immediately paid attention to it, who is Chang Ning, his benefactor, iron buddy, that is the newly rising political star in Jinjiang City, and the heir to billions of family fortunes, this meal is his treat, although the phone said that it is done according to the standard of fifty yuan per person, but of course Li Guiting will not only follow such a standard, after receiving the notice, he immediately rushed into the kitchen, personally arranged, and directly doubled, The kitchen was required to prepare according to the highest standard of 100 yuan per person, and also explained, if it was not enough, the standard could be raised at any time, and the drinking wine was also replaced by Moutai.

In Li Guiting's thoughts, if the relationship between Changning and Ning can be improved, there must be no shortage of people who come here to eat, is the wool out of the sheep.

Li Guiting stayed at the door of the restaurant early and waited.

When he saw that it was the mayor and deputy mayor of Jinjiang City who got down from the car, Li Guiting thought to himself, fortunately, he had raised his standards, and Changning's meal was actually invited by some big leaders, if these leaders were satisfied, their business would definitely be better in the next step.

Li Guiting ran forward from afar, held Chang Ning's hand tightly and said, "Mayor Chang, welcome to your presence, you can eat at the small shop, this is the honor of the small shop." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Lao Li, today the leaders want to taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas in your store, you can't be sloppy."

Li Guiting hurriedly said: "Mayor Chang, please rest assured, we will serve the leaders wholeheartedly." ”

Seeing Ying Zhiping walking with Chang Ning, Li Guiting was also a person with vision, and held Ying Zhiping's hand again and said, "Mayor Ying also came to inspect the work?" ”

Ying Zhiping smiled: "Yes, yes, I accompanied Mayor Chang here today to check how the dishes in your small shop are doing?" ”

It was humorous and caused everyone to laugh.

After Li Guiting shook hands with all the leaders one by one, he warmly welcomed him into the restaurant.

The people who come here to eat today are all people who can't be provoked, if anyone is dissatisfied, just find a little fault, and this restaurant can be closed, Li Guiting thought, and was ten thousand careful.

In a more exquisite private room, everyone sat down according to the rules, and should sit in the main seat as a matter of course, his main position will not be controversial, Chang Ning is the east, naturally sitting in Chairman Fu, and several other mayors Fu also sat down according to the usual ranking of the meeting, as for the four directors, on this occasion, there is no need to pay attention to it.

Sitting in this main seat, the unhappiness of the meeting just now has faded a little, Ying Zhiping regained the feeling of the mayor, after all, he is still the mayor, and he can't sit in the main seat wherever he goes, unless he is present, Ying Zhiping has a feeling that he can control everything.

Chang Ning still pays great attention to Ying Zhiping's respect, and at the wine table, he also highlights Ying Zhiping's position as much as possible, and when he can not be dominant, he tries not to steal the limelight of Ying Zhiping, he knows the situation of the meeting just now, and he offended Ying Zhiping, of course, there is no way, who let Ying Zhiping have nothing to do to provoke himself.

The food and drinks soon came.

Chang Ning stood up with a glass of wine and said: "Mayor Zhou, Mayor Du Fu, colleagues, I have always wanted to get together with you, but I don't have a chance, today is a rare opportunity, we have to drink a few glasses, my first glass of wine to the mayor, should the mayor be able to come to Jinjiang City to be the mayor, this is the glory of our Jinjiang City, I propose, everyone's first glass of wine to the mayor of Zhou." ”

Give Ying Zhiping some face and resolve the unhappiness caused by the meeting, this is what Chang Ning wants to see, of course, he also knows that the effect should not be large, anyway, his attitude is to do it, if Ying Zhiping doesn't understand anymore, then he has to go with him.

Hearing Chang Ning say this, everyone understood what he meant, and Ying He all stood up and raised their glasses to Ying Zhiping.

Seeing that everyone came to respect themselves after listening to Wang Zerong's words, Ying Zhiping's feelings became complicated again.

"Thank you Mayor Changfu, thank you comrades, I have just arrived in Jinjiang City, and I still need everyone's support in the future, and I hope that in the next step, everyone can work together to do a good job." Ying Zhiping said, and drank the wine in the glass in one go.

Tonight's banquet is a little weird, it should have been led by Ying Zhiping, the mayor, but, because Chang Ning was the east to invite guests, and everyone also came to eat for Chang Ning's promotion, so the dominance of the banquet unconsciously fell into Chang Ning's hands.

What made Ying Zhiping feel most uncomfortable was that two of these deputy mayors were pulled over by Chang Ning, and what's more, those directors were completely Chang Ning's first look, as if they didn't take themselves seriously.

While eating, I saw that the door was pushed open, and a group of people poured in, including Zhu Bida, director of the Education Commission, Wu Yaohong, director of the Land Bureau, Zhang Daosheng, director of the Cultural Bureau, Ren Tianxing, director of Jinjiang Daily, and Guo Huaiming, director of the Family Planning Commission.

This group of people was eating in another room, and Zhu Bida was sharp-eyed, looking out of the window, and saw Chang Ning coming with the mayors of Zhengfu in the city, and asked the waiter, only to know that Chang Ning was entertaining, these five people were all Chang Pai, and when they saw Chang Ning coming, they couldn't say anything if they didn't toast, so they made an appointment to come over to toast together.

"Mayor Chang, I heard that you have a treat, we are here to toast you." Zhu Bida said as soon as he entered the door.

For Chang Ning, thirty-five-year-old Zhu Bida is more grateful than anyone else, a year and a half ago he was still an office director of the Markham County Education Commission, after knowing Chang Ning, he was soon promoted to Director Fu, and at the end of last year, he was successfully turned positive, this year he was transferred to the city with Chang Ning and served as the director of the Municipal Education Commission.

Wu Yaohong, director of the Land Bureau, said with a smile: "Mayor Chang, we are waiting for you to have a treat, why did you pull us down." ”

Ren Tianxing, director of Jinjiang Daily, also said: "That's it, I finally saw Mayor Chang have a treat today, and we have to give Mayor Chang a glass no matter what." ”

Ying Zhiping was stunned again, what made him most uneasy was that these people were all Chang Ning's cronies, and when he thought that Chang Ning's cronies were in charge of more and more departments, he felt endless pressure in his heart, and he was even more worried about the next step.

Seeing these people coming in, Chang Ning smiled and said, "What, you guys are also eating here?" ”

Guo Huaiming, director of the Family Planning Commission, has just been promoted in the personnel adjustment, and he is not yet forty years old this year, and belongs to one of the young Zhuang factions in the Jinjiang municipal arena, after a period of tempering, his ability in all aspects has been greatly improved, as far as Chang Ning knows, now he is very authoritative in the Family Planning Commission, of course, Chang Ning also knows, after all, this is because he is supporting his waist in the back, who dares not listen.

Guo Huaiming said with a smile: "Mayor Chang, I just got a house not long ago, and these people won't let me go." ”

Chang Ning looked at Guo Huaiming and said, "Oh, it turned out to be your housewarming, Lao Guo, congratulations, I toast you." ”

Guo Huaiming said respectfully: "Thank you, Mayor Chang, or I will respect you first." As he spoke, he took a sip of the wine in his glass. Chang Ningle said: "Since I met today, I have a treat, and your table is also mine." ”

Guo Huaiming hurriedly said: "How can this be done, I still invite you today, and I will invite you at this table." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Give me a face, it's all mine today, and you will invite everyone next time." ”

Guo Huaiming didn't insist on this anymore, and agreed with a smile.

These people are all masters of the wine field, and after saluting Chang Ning, they each saluted Ying Zhiping one by one, and paid the mayor a glass each.

Since these people came in, Ying Zhiping found that Changning had completely become the center, and he, the mayor, had become the person who sat with him, and seeing that these directors were fighting so hotly with Changning, he was even more worried, he wanted to make some achievements in Jinjiang, and how could he carry out his work without the support of some hardcore subordinates.

Of course, after Ying Zhiping arrived in Jinjiang City, he also paid attention to collecting personnel, especially the old department left by the former mayor Chen Song, through his own efforts, he finally subdued a lot, and there were also some unambitious people who voted over, and what he is thinking about now is how to raise his own people in the next step.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bida's group of directors had just left, and soon a group of people came in, led by Chen Maoyun, the secretary of the Markham County Party Committee, followed by Lin Zhengdao, the county magistrate of Markham County, Liu Haibo, the secretary of the Jinnan District Party Committee, Zheng Bing, the district head, Ding Boqun, the secretary of the Jinbei District Party Committee, and Gao Qianqian, the head of the district.

As soon as these people came in, they looked at Chang Ning, and Chen Maoyun said loudly: "Leader, I heard that you are eating here, and everyone wants to come and toast you." ”

"Hey, how did you guys get together?" Chang Ning asked curiously.

Liu Haibo, secretary of the Jinnan District Party Committee, said with a smile: "Mayor Chang, Comrade Maoyun and Comrade Zhengdao are here to talk about economic cooperation with our Jinnan District and Jinbei District. ”

After shaking hands one by one, Chang Ning said: "That's really a coincidence, Mayor Ying and Mayor Du Fu have to let me have a treat, so everyone gathers here for a meal, oh yes, how are you talking?" ”

Ding Boqun, the secretary of the Jinbei District Party Committee, said with a smile: "Mayor Chang, we originally wanted to ask Mayor Ying to be a matchmaker with you, but since you are in a meeting, we can only report to Mayor Ying and you tomorrow." ”

After listening to Ding Boqun's explanation, Chang Ning's face showed a smile, looked at Ying Zhiping and said: "Mayor Ying, the cooperation between the three counties and districts is a big deal, and you need to preside over the overall situation." ”

Ying Zhiping smiled and said, "It's a good thing, the unconditional support of the city government." ”

Chang Ning glanced at Chen Maoyun.

Chen Maoyun comprehended, and walked in front of Ying Zhiping with a wine glass, "Mayor Ying, I toast you." ”

Several other county and district leaders also toasted to Ying Zhiping.

This is also Chang Ning's way of life, after all, Ying Zhiping is the mayor, and on this occasion, he can't be too cold.

However, the other deputy mayors are nothing, and Ying Zhiping's heart is even more unpleasant, there are more and more people in Changning, and even the people who come out for a meal are all his people, looking at the situation of these people, it is not Yu Wenliang's people, or Chang Ning's subordinates, how will they carry out their work in the future.

After paying homage to Chang Ning, Liu Haibo said: "Mayor Chang, you have to worry more about the economic cooperation between our three counties and districts. ”

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's my job." ”

Ding Boqun also said to Chang Ning: "'Welcome Mayor Chang to our Jinbei District to inspect and guide the work. ”

Chang Ning nodded, "Thank you, I will definitely go." ”

After paying all the respects to the mayor, Chen Maoyun and the others left the room.

At this time, Du Feng, the mayor of Changfu, sighed: "Mayor Changfu's popularity is really good." ”

This sentence was said by Du Feng intentionally, although it was through wine, but when he said this, his eyes were secretly looking at Ying Zhiping, he didn't believe that Ying Zhiping had no idea, there were two groups of people in a row tonight, and the people from Changning accounted for more than half, this Jinjiang City is almost the world of Changning, which makes these people from outside how to carry out their work in the future.

Sure enough, when Du Feng said this, he saw Ying Zhiping's face, and his expression immediately dimmed.

Of course, Ying Zhiping felt uncomfortable, after listening to Du Feng's words, although he knew that Du Feng had some reminders, but the taste of provocation was stronger, and the anger in his heart was not in one place, who is the mayor of Jinjiang City, Ying Zhiping secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he glanced at Du Feng, nodded slightly, and said that he knew it in his heart.

Two groups of people came in in a row, all of them came for themselves, Chang Ning could only smile bitterly in his heart, he wanted to keep a low profile just now, the purpose was to hope to adjust the relationship between him and Ying Zhiping, now it's okay, from the first group of people came in, he found that Ying Zhiping's face had changed, and then he heard Du Feng's words fanning the flames like that, he knew that there was something wrong with today's meal.

After a few more sips of wine, Chang Ning also let go of his heart, damn it, who is afraid of whom, it's a big deal what everyone is doing, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, sometimes, it's not a way to back down too much, when necessary, it should be done against or against it.

After figuring it out, Chang Ning was no longer low-key, and they clinked glasses with Xu Shanwen and Wang Xiang and drank to each other.
