Chapter 36: Reception party

To say that the banquet in the evening was grand does not mean that the location of the banquet was high-end, but that all members of the Standing Committee of the Pengzhou Municipal Committee attended the banquet.

When Zhao Jianhui rushed to Pengyuan Hotel (Pengzhou Municipal Party Committee Guest House), Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Yaohua, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Mayor Chen Huijun, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Zhao Ruidong, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Hu Zunxian, Executive Vice Mayor Shu Qingkun, Municipal Party Committee Organization Department The cars of Mayor Zhang Guoqiang, Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General and Propaganda Department Qu Yongjian, Vice Mayor Gao Jianjun, Vice Mayor Wang Jinxin, Xilin District Party Committee Secretary Liu Guixin, Vice Mayor Yang Li, and Military Division Political Commissar Deng Changsheng were all parked here. On the front steps.

Seeing the leaders getting out of the car one by one, the hotel manager Yang Xueying, who was wearing a black professional suit, quickly ran over with a dozen or so gorgeous waiters to open the car door for the leaders.

Listening to the series of bang-bang-bang sounds of the car door opening and closing, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but sigh to himself, it was so suspenseful, but fortunately he was not late. But in front of Li Nan, he praised Haikou and said that he would rather not attend tonight's banquet to figure out the case. However, Zhao Jianhui, who has been hanging out in the capital for a year, has now clearly realized that in officialdom, eating also plays a big role. knowledge. If I really don't come, I'm afraid the people in front of me will have some thoughts about me.

When Secretary Wang Yaohua was about to walk in, he suddenly turned around and saw Zhao Jianhui getting off the general manager's car. He stopped in his tracks. When he saw Zhao Jianhui walking in, he smiled and said to Secretary-General Qu Yongjian who was standing beside him: "Secretary-General, this is your dereliction of duty. Secretary Zhao has been here for a day, why haven't you got a car yet? Have you arranged your accommodation for the night?"

Qu Yongjian laughed: "Secretary Wang, you really wronged me. When I went to deliver the car keys to Secretary Zhao this afternoon, Secretary Zhao had already gone to the Public Security Bureau. I heard Secretary Zhao handled a case on the spot on his first day at the Public Security Bureau today. If I chase him to the Public Security Bureau to deliver the keys, won’t it affect Secretary Zhao’s enthusiasm for work? "

Wang Yaohua pointed at him and smiled: "You, I just said that a comrade like you will always find a lot of reasons. But no matter what, you still have to protect Secretary Zhao's life. I am I heard that Secretary Zhao’s family is coming with us, so you can’t let the young couple have no place to live.”

"Thank you, Secretary Wang, for your concern. Secretary-General Qu has arranged everything. I haven't even had a chance to say thank you. I'm a little embarrassed that you are criticizing him." Zhao Jianhui said, having already walked up to Wang Yaohua, very timely He took the hand offered by Wang Yaohua and shook it. Then he greeted several other members of the Standing Committee, and everyone surrounded Wang Yaohua and walked into the hotel.

Among all the 13 members of the Standing Committee, Zhao Jianhui speculated that his ranking should be lower in the middle, because the municipal party committee documents should not be issued until tomorrow. Now he is not sure whether he should be in front or behind Qu Yongjian. Cadres of the same level are ranked in order.

When entering the room, Zhao Jianhui saw the dignified and beautiful Manager Yang. When he looked at himself again, there was a clear look of resentment in his eyes. In addition, when he moved in yesterday, he and she had only met each other twice. Next time, shouldn't this look appear on her body when she looks at him? Why does this woman see herself so?

This woman is twenty-six or seven years old, and she has a handsome appearance that is loved by everyone and can be seen in cars. She is not only the manager of this hotel, but also the deputy director of the reception desk of the Municipal Party Committee Office (administrative level). She is also a serious government official. She has no reason to treat a newly arrived member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. What's the rift?

What surprised Zhao Jianhui was that when the table was served, the people at the table were all the city's main leaders, and there was still a place for Manager Yang at the wine table. This had to make Zhao Jianhui look at him differently.

Adding her, Mayor Chen Huijun, and Vice Mayor Yang Li, there were three beautiful ladies among the fourteen people at this table. Although Chen Bijun and Yang Li are both around forty years old, they have fair complexions and well-maintained red lips. In addition, they are in high positions, so they naturally have an unattainable temperament.

The symbolic meaning of a banquet like this is greater than the original intention of eating. Regardless of whether the table really wants to appear harmonious and united on the surface, it is still talking, laughing and having fun.

At the beginning, everyone was not too drunk and drank relatively easily. But after the three rounds of wine and the five dishes, Zhao Jianhui was the first to stand up and toast Wang Yaohua. He also took this opportunity to express that he would definitely drink in the future. The secretary carried out good work under the leadership of the municipal party committee as the squad leader, which reassured Secretary Wang and other leaders.

Originally, this was what Zhao Jianhui should say at today's cocktail party, but as soon as he started, everyone started toasting each other.

This is also a way for the Standing Committee members to communicate with each other. Even two strangers may become "brothers" after three or two glasses of wine, let alone these people who have been working together?

The fourteen people, excluding the three cups that everyone drank together at the beginning, will do it alone next. After two glasses of wine per person, Zhao Jianhui drank twenty-nine glasses of wine. Even though the cup was not full, and a few drops were deliberately shaken while holding the cup, the two kilograms of liquor was only a lot more. Wang Yaohua, who was sitting next to him, kept boasting about Zhao Jianhui's huge amount.

After all, a person's stomach is not the sea. Zhao Jianhui felt a little drunk even though he could drink a lot. Because of Zhao Jianhui's generosity, everyone at the table drank a lot. Even the three female comrades drank half a catty.

Originally, I thought it was over, but who knew that Qu Yongjian picked up the cup again with a smile: "Secretary Zhao, I didn't do my job well. Secretary Wang has criticized me just now. If you are not angry with me, let's drink two cups. I want to apologize to you."

"Oh, Secretary Qu, what are you saying? Didn't I say it just now? This matter is all my fault. Come on, I toast you..." As he spoke, Zhao Jianhui poured another glass of wine into his stomach.

"You have a good alcohol tolerance. You have to fill this glass up, otherwise you still have opinions about my work." Qu Yongjian said, and drank it first, and turned the bottom of the cup with his hand to prove that there was not a drop left.

Zhao Jianhui had no choice but to drink it up immediately.

Then, Deputy Mayor Gao Jianjun and Xilin District Party Committee Secretary Liu Guixin stood up and drank two cups with Zhao Jianhui. At this time, Zhao Jianhui already felt a little confused. Just as he was about to sit down and take a bite of food, he didn't expect Yang Xueying, who had been sitting on the side and didn't talk much, to stand up again.

"Secretary Zhao, you are all big leaders at the table, and I am just a small soldier. I have to toast you twice as much. I wonder if Secretary Zhao will give you this face?" Women have natural advantages at the wine table. Few people can afford to offend women, but as long as women dare to go to the wine table, they are often very good at drinking. This woman has already drunk half a catty, but her face remains unchanged, but her fair skin looks even more rosy.

"Manager Yang, can we just have one glass? I've already drunk..." Before Zhao Jianhui's flower fell to the ground, Yang Xueying pouted and said to Secretary Wang: "Secretary Wang, you see Secretary Zhao just doesn't give people face. He and other leaders drink two glasses, why did he only drink one glass when I toasted? Secretary Zhao is staying in our hotel now. Is he dissatisfied with our work?"

Well, it seems that these two glasses can't be avoided. In order to prevent this woman from talking more, Zhao Jianhui still forced himself to drink two glasses.

Zhao Jianhui just sat down, and the political commissar of the military sub-district Deng Changsheng stood up again: "Secretary Zhao, I heard that you are also a soldier. When you first came to Pengzhou, you encountered someone sending mines to Director Li Nan. I won't say anything. You drank a lot today. I'll drink a glass to toast you. You can be casual..."

Can you be casual in this occasion? Although Zhao Jianhui saw sincerity in Deng Changsheng's eyes, and knew that he would not blame him if he was really casual, Zhao Jianhui still felt that he could not be casual, so he stood up again and drank another cup with Deng Changsheng.

Adding these nine cups of wine, Zhao Jianhui drank thirty-eight cups.

In fact, this was child's play compared to toasting three hundred people at the table when he got married, but Zhao Jianhui seemed to be drunk. Sometimes, you can see many problems clearly by being drunk.

At this time, Zhao Jianhui saw Wang Yaohua's smile, Chen Huijun's frown, Hu Zunxian's indifference, Su Qingkun's astonishment, and Yang Li's confusion. Naturally, he also saw the flirting between Qu Yongjian, Gao Jianjun and Liu Guixin very clearly.

So, Zhao Jianhui got even drunker. However, when Secretary Wang Yaohua suggested that they drink the wine in their glasses and eat, Zhao Jianhui still drank the wine in his glass, and even staggered to pick up a steamed bun and started to eat it. You can't drink a belly of wine without eating food, right? Even if you are frugal, you don't know who you are saving it for.

Without exception, after eating, you naturally have to have some fun. It seems that this is an old rule. Yang Xueying has already arranged for someone to open the small dance hall, and more than a dozen very beautiful waiters are waiting inside. As soon as they saw these big leaders coming in, the girls immediately greeted them with a smile.

Two little girls actually greeted Zhao Jianhui together, and one of them wrapped around Zhao Jianhui's arm from one side: "Secretary Zhao, let's dance..."

Such a young member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee is still very attractive in the eyes of these little girls. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Yang Xueying who was standing in a corner directing people to play the speakers, and couldn't help but laugh silently to himself.
