This table was filled with all kinds of leaders and officials. No one had ever seen such a scene before.
Which dinner party didn't have the highest authority at the table to say a few words before the start of the dinner party? Then, everyone would gather around and drink a glass of wine together. They could only eat after the leader picked up his chopsticks! And for any dish, before the leader picked it up, the subordinates absolutely could not pick it up!
Xu Yun picked up his chopsticks. Lin Ge was also not waiting. He had nearly starved to death because of waiting for this group of people to organize a celebratory banquet! They would eat when it was time! It was already seven and everyone was here!
All of them were leaders and had a lot of work to do. If they were so busy, they shouldn't come! They even wanted to come to this banquet! They were afraid that if they did not come, people at the same level would badmouth them in front of the Secretary. The Secretary would then make things difficult for them in the future!
What was going on now? Not to mention the leader speaking, the leader had not even led the first drink and the two of them had already eaten!
They did not give the leader any face at all. How could the leader speak!? These two children were too insensible, right?
Not to mention the people in the bureaucracy, even the people in the workplace understood this principle. When the sun shines, the incense burner produces purple smoke. The leader was their sky!
If anyone did not give face to the leader, they could forget about working in the bureaucracy! Seeing the two juniors eating without holding back, these old foxes in the bureaucracy shook their heads in their hearts. But later on, they thought about it. They were from Yanjing!
They were from Beijing. Perhaps the people they usually met were high-ranking officials, so they did not think much of the people at the table. The most senior officials at the table were only at the bureau level, right?
At such a time, someone had to step forward bravely. And the secretary was such a person!
Small Cheng used an attitude that said, "The sun rises on the river, the leader throws the blame to me." He directly said to Xu Yun and Lin Ge, "The two of you, there are so many leaders here. They are all magnanimous and can tolerate the small mistakes that young people make inadvertently. But I'm not that magnanimous. I feel that as young people, we should have basic manners, right? Let's get the leader to bring some wine so that we can know the theme of today's banquet. "
Secretary Xiao Cheng put the blame on himself and said what was on the secretary's mind. While the secretary was feeling comfortable, he could still put on an indifferent expression. Secretary Xiao Cheng was very broad-minded and did not care at all.
Only a person with Xiao Cheng's mentality can stand by the leader's side!
Now, the bureau chiefs finally knew why Xiao Cheng was doing so well. He could help the Secretary deal with all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous cases. It was no wonder the Secretary helped Xiao Cheng transfer his wife, who was in a public institution in another county, back to Tongluo Wan. He even arranged for her to be in a good department in the Procuratorate.
So, people, don't always complain about how the leader doesn't put you in an important position, or how the leader doesn't know how to take care of you. If you can do it well, and can be like Xiao Cheng, saying things like "The sun rises on the river is brighter than the fire. Thank you, leader, for trusting me" every day, the leader will definitely trust you!
After Xiao Cheng said this, he waited for Xu Yun and Lin Ge to put down their chopsticks and apologize to the leaders. However, Xu Yun did not care about Xiao Cheng. You're just a small secretary. To be honest, you don't have the right to talk to me.
Lin Ge could tell what Xu Yun meant. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Isn't it just a meal? Is there so much to it? Are we sitting down to sign the Chinese and foreign natural gas supply contract, or are we going to import oil from Lao Mei? You still want to say a few words? You don't even know what's going on. What are you eating here for? "
Xiao Cheng was stunned. This person's words are so blunt!
"Isn't it because we destroyed an 'illegal workshop' that we are eating together to entertain two guests from afar?" Lin Ge continued, "Otherwise, what are we eating here for? Tell me, what kind of things can you eat and drink casually with public funds now? Did our leader approve it for you? Or are you used to eating and drinking like this because you are used to it? You don't even know what's going on before you eat. You are just a secretary. How did the leaders see you? Are you competent? "
This little mouth of hers had directly made Xiao Cheng, who had won the best debater in a third-rate university debate competition, unable to say a single word!
"Pigeon, eat your food. Don't talk so much." Xu Yun said lightly.
Lin Ge did not say anything and continued eating. Who cares about the leaders' faces? Brother Yun must know. He will only have the energy to teach these old guys politics lessons after he is full.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes. Everyone has been busy for the whole day and is hungry. Let's eat first. We will drink after we eat!" Secretary Li said. "Everyone has worked hard. Come, let's eat. Don't stand on ceremony!" After he finished, he took the lead and started to eat.
Since the Secretary had spoken, everyone picked up their chopsticks. Of course, Xiao Cheng could not eat. He must be alert and keep his eyes and ears open to see what the leaders like to eat. He must also pay attention to the water in the leader's teacup. He must ensure that there is warm tea in the leader's teacup every time the leader picks up his teacup.
Only by doing these will the leaders like to invite you to dinner!
When the leaders are full, Xiao Cheng can pack up the food and put it in the fridge for two days.
It must be said that Xiao Cheng, who came from the countryside, was also a person who knew how to live his life. It was not easy to get into the Municipal Party Committee compound with his own efforts. In just three to five years, he, who was originally very ambitious, was gradually corrupted by the officialdom.
There are too few people like Liu Fei and Liu Qingyu in the bureaucracy.
After the sound of chopsticks, Secretary Li picked up his wine glass. How can there be no wine at this table?
This is not in line with Hua Xia's thousand-year-old tradition of wine culture.
"Come, come, come. Today, we are here to take down Hu Xingsu, this black-hearted entrepreneur. Let's have a toast." When Secretary Li picked up his wine glass, everyone put down their chopsticks.
Lin Ge had been observing Xu Yun's state of mind. If Xu Yun gave him face, he will give him face. If Xu Yun does not give him face, then he will eat and drink.
"Xu Yun, you are the pillar of our country! Let's have a toast to you! "Secretary Li was giving face to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun is not an ignorant person. Secretary Li is giving him face. It has nothing to do with work, and he cannot disrespect him. So, he also raised his wine glass. Lin Ge needs to drive, so he did not drink. But he also put down his chopsticks and stopped eating and drinking.
"Secretary Li, I am flattered that you are toasting me," Xu Yun said, "I will drink this glass of wine. But before I drink, I would like to say something."
This leader's style is quite big! Secretary Li had a smile on his face. At least Xu Yun did not embarrass him. He nodded. Everyone also raised their glasses and waited for Xu Yun to speak.
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, discipline is in the heart." Xu Yun smiled. "I have heard of this saying at the dinner table. But I still want to say that this is a little expensive. But considering that you are looking for us, I am very grateful. This glass of wine, I thank all of you for your enthusiasm. "
After saying that, Xu Yun drained his glass first to show respect.
Secretary Li was very satisfied! This kid knows how to save face for the leader. Unlike the other kid …
But before Secretary Li could finish speaking, Xu Yun slammed the wine glass on the table. Xiao Cheng, who was about to pour wine, was dumbfounded. What is the meaning of this? Why did he slam the wine glass on the table? This … is too unruly?
