There are specific conditions for keeping secrets in the officialdom. It is not possible for people with the same interests to keep secrets. First, it depends on the background. Only people with the same background can keep secrets. Second, it depends on the origin. It is difficult for people who are not on the same line to get together, let alone be close. Third, it depends on whether there is a common interest between the two sides. The officialdom is a place where interests are important. There is nothing better than interests to keep two sides together. This interest is often unspeakable and must be plotted in private. This plotting in the dark makes those who are not close become close.
Everyone laughed for a while about the Red Mouth Fish. After laughing, Luo Tianyun went to help Ah Zhu look for the playing cards. He believed that Ah Zhu had seen his suspicion, and Ah Zhu used this way of playing cards to divert everyone's attention. It seemed that Ah Zhu had practiced a pair of fiery eyes all these years.
Sure enough, when Luo Tianyun was looking for the playing cards, Ah Zhu secretly gave him a look. Luo Tianyun understood that this kind of situation where people change sides at any time in the officialdom is not a new thing. Everyone is working hard for their future. No one should be determined to only choose one tree. This is not difficult to understand. If Luo Tianyun was in this situation, he may choose Zhu Tianyou like Director Zhao, instead of Lu Xinbo. Luo Tianyun believes that the people who can come to this private room for this private banquet will not be disloyal to Secretary Zhu Tianyou.
Ah Zhu found the playing cards first. So the four of them sat down and played cards. In the first game, Ah Zhu was the first to call, and her cards were very smooth. She got whatever she wanted. As soon as she came up, Director Zhao and Director Wen got a big loss. They did not get a single point. She and Luo Tianyun were promoted four times in a row. Ah Zhu laughed excitedly. Director Zhao made fun of Ah Zhu. "Ah Zhu, you are so hot. It must be because the man has not gotten rid of the fire in your heart."
Ah Zhu laughed as she picked up the tiles and pretended to hit Department Head Zhao. She said, "Obviously it's your local army that can't beat us in the capital, yet you're still talking about the relationship between a man and a woman. Department Head Zhao is so quiet, could it be that Madame attacked you sneakily yesterday?"
When this woman said a lewd joke, the man's mood would be lifted. Chief Zhao laughed even more unbridledly. After laughing, he said, "That's right. My husband forced me to hand over the food last night. That's why my hands are smelly today."
As soon as Chief Zhao finished speaking, the few of them burst out in laughter. While they were laughing, Guo Bangde came in with Secretary Zhu Tianyou. When he heard everyone laughing, he asked: "What's the good news? Why are you all laughing so happily? Let me laugh too."
Chief Zhao pointed at Gu Yuzhu and said, "This pretty lady shaved my and Chief Wen's heads the moment she got on stage. She even said that I was forced by the tiger last night, so my hands were smelly."
"Zhao Xuecai, you have to hand over the food every day. If I hear that you didn't hand over the food next time, I'll hold you responsible." Secretary Zhu Tianyou joked. The atmosphere was really different. Everyone burst out laughing again.
After laughing and asking, Zhu Tianyou looked at everyone and said, "Everyone arrived earlier than me. I'm a writer, so I'm late. I'll punish myself with a glass of wine later. Tianyun is the farthest today, so I'm afraid he's also the earliest? "
"Secretary Zhu is so biased. He always remembers Brother Tianyun. It's obviously me and Brother Guo who arrived first." Gu Yuzhu's words were obviously coquettish. However, she was the only woman here today. If she didn't coquettish, who would?
Sure enough, Zhu Tianyou turned to look at Gu Yuzhu and said, "Ah Zhu, you're not only the only beauty here today, but you're also the youngest one here. So, you should exercise more. You can help everyone. Today, I'll take the lead and drink white wine. Ah Zhu, go get the wine from the back of my car. It's the 30-year-old Maotai that I've always been reluctant to drink. Let's drink to our heart's content today." Zhu Tianyou not only got Ah Zhu from the army to his side, but also called her Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu. In this aspect, he was very different from other high-ranking leaders. He got such a beautiful woman to do the reception work for him. It would be strange if people didn't suspect him. He obviously knew that many people had been suspicious of his relationship with Ah Zhu, and had been speculating behind his back. Moreover, this kind of thing was often the hottest topic that everyone was talking about, but what other people said was their own business, and he did not avoid it at all. Especially when he set up a private banquet to entertain everyone, he seemed to be particularly happy to let Ah Zhu do this and that, and even brought Ah Zhu along with him all the time. In this way, people who speculated and suspected that there was no relationship between Zhu Tianyou and Ah Zhu, and even that it was open and aboveboard, so they didn't dare to think in that direction.
Ah Zhu trotted all the way out of the door of the private room. Her slender figure still attracted a few men to look at the door, but because of the big scene of the Secretary, they quickly retracted their gazes, especially Luo Tianyun, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Zhu Tianyou.
After Ah Zhu brought the wine, Secretary Zhu Tianyou invited them to sit down. Although it was a private banquet, because it was a private banquet, they had to pay more attention to the rules. Seeing that it was the Secretary, Zhu Tianyou said, "I'll be the host. Tianyun is the farthest, so sit next to me. Bonde, who has worked hard to receive the guests, also sit next to me." So, Luo Tianyun and Guo Bonde sat on the left and right of Zhu Tianyou, and the others sat down in order.
Ah Zhu sat at the door, which was obviously a seat for the leaders, but because Zhu Tianyou praised her so much, she was certainly happy to serve everyone. So, Ah Zhu handed the wine glass to Zhu Tianyou, who took it and said the opening remarks, "I don't have any other intention, I just want to treat everyone to a meal. Recently, everyone has been very busy with work, and there is little time to meet with everyone. I asked Secretary Guo to call everyone together, so that we can have some fun and relax. Today, we don't talk about work, this is the principle. In the future, we have to form a good habit of talking in the office, never in private. At the dinner table, there is only one purpose, to eat well. Today, I will pay the bill, what do you want to eat, just order. "
This speech was equivalent to setting the tone of the dinner, in fact, there was no need to emphasize it, in this kind of occasion, even if they wanted to talk about work. This kind of dinner was just a signal, a kind of ceremony. I just want to tell you, from today on, you are a member of a certain circle. Being invited to this kind of occasion, even if you don't want to join this circle, it is not up to you. Because the news will leak out sooner or later, when other circles hear that you have been invited, they will naturally be on guard against you.
Thinking of this, Luo Tianyun subconsciously glanced at Director Zhao's face. Seeing that Director Zhao was very calm, he felt that he might have thought too much and thought too much.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, Zhu Tianyou took the lead to drink liquor, and he also punished himself with a glass, which was very rare. Most of the time, Secretary Zhu Tianyou didn't drink, and he also opposed others to drink too much. But today, he not only drank liquor, but also let everyone drink to their heart's content.
Luo Tianyun drank a lot, this was the most relaxed he had ever been. Everyone toasted each other politely and sincerely, how could they not drink? Ah Zhu's cheeks were even redder, and she almost floated when she walked, but in the end, she still controlled herself well, and did not lose her composure. Today, Ah Zhu was really like a waitress, taking care of everyone, and in front of everyone, she was able to say very appropriate words. She was like a lubricant, moisturizing everyone. Luo Tianyun secretly admired this woman, this woman has a bright future.
On the way back, Luo Tianyun and Guo Bangde sat in the same car, and under the influence of alcohol, the two of them talked in confusion.
Guo Bangde said, "Recently, there have been too many things, a series of actions, not only did it make people dizzy, it also made people feel very passive and useless."
"Brother Guo, are you talking about me or someone else?" Luo Tianyun deliberately asked.
"You can interpret it however you want, as long as you don't associate it with me." Guo Bangde also said in riddles.
"I drank too much, I'm a bit floaty." Luo Tianyun also said in riddles. This kind of riddles in the officialdom was very interesting, and sometimes it could be played to the point of perfection.
"Brother, can you float? Those who float are all weightless people, they can't stand the wind. Your butt is heavy, it's just that you didn't sit down. If one day you sit down, you won't be shaken by thunder, you'll be as steady as a rock. "Guo Bangde could already see that Secretary Zhu Tianyou valued Luo Tianyun very much.
"I'm just afraid that if I sit down, I'll make a hole." Luo Tianyun laughed.
"That's fun, if it's a hole, you have to let it sink, and then fill it up, brother, do you lack this ability?" Guo Bangde said.
"I'm just afraid that some holes are too big, and I can't fill them up. I'm waiting for you to teach me a few tricks, haha." Luo Tianyun said.
"I don't dare to. If I can't fill it up, I'll just leave it hanging. It's good to leave it hanging, and there'll be a show to watch, don't you think so?" Guo Bangde continued.
"That's classic, really classic. It seems that you still need to drink, when you drink, your thinking will be different." Luo Tianyun praised Guo Bangde.
"That also depends on whose wine I'm drinking, haha." Guo Bangde also laughed.
At this moment, the car came to a stop, and Luo Tianyun knew that they had arrived at Guo Bangde's house. The moment they got off the car, Guo Bangde stuffed something into Luo Tianyun's hands, but Luo Tianyun didn't think much of it. After Guo Bangde left, he got on the car and took a look. It was a very inconspicuous antique, shabby, small, and shaped like a Buddha, but it wasn't a Buddha. What was it? Luo Tianyun played with it for a long time, but still didn't understand. Why did Guo Bangde give him this? After taking a shower, when he went to bed, he suddenly realized that this antique was called the Fisherman's Return, and he had read about it in a book. Among the people, there were people who worshiped it, praying for the safe return of the traveler.
Was Guo Bangde reminding Luo Tianyun that he should return to Secretary Zhu Tianyou's side after he finished his business in the prefectures?
After Luo Tianyun came back from the private banquet, Peng Qingshan called Luo Tianyun to report two things. First, regarding Jiang Chaoqun's problem, Liu Feng had obtained the corresponding evidence. Second, regarding Shi Lei's problem, he had also obtained the corresponding evidence. Peng Qingshan asked what they should do with these two people.
