Director Yang only said his surname and did not tell Li Rui his name. After all, he was the deputy director of the reception department. It was good enough that he took the initiative to greet Li Rui and even shake hands with him. If he took the initiative to say his name, he would seem too humble and would be looked down upon by Li Rui and other people. He wanted to wait for Li Rui to ask for his name so that he could take the opportunity to make friends with Li Rui.
After shaking hands with Li Rui, he introduced the other two people to Li Rui. One of them was the deputy director of the Municipal Government's Procurement Administration Department, and the other was a staff member of the reception department and Director Yang's subordinate. Speaking of which, the three of them were all in the government's logistics department. They were considered to be in the same circle, so it was no wonder that they would be together.
Li Rui shook hands with the two people one after another. He had a smile on his face, but he was puzzled in his heart. Shengjing Hotel was a private hotel. He dared not say that it had nothing to do with the government's logistics department, but at least it had no direct relationship with them. Since that was the case, why did the general manager, Ou Yangxin, still need to entertain these three people?
The three people led by Director Yang shook hands with Li Rui according to their administrative ranks. Everyone treated him as a big shot. No one dared to look down on him, and no one dared to show any disrespect in their words and actions. Good lord, this was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. If he just said something to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, they would not be able to improve. They might even regress. Who dared to disrespect such a person?
After getting to know each other, the five people in the room returned to their seats.
Director Yang asked Li Rui to sit at the head of the table. The head of the table was originally his seat, and the other two people also expressed their support. Li Rui did not dare to be so high-profile. He insisted and finally sat on the right side of Director Yang. This seat was originally Ou Yangxin's. Since he sat there, Ou Yangxin had to sit next to him. However, Ou Yangxin had originally hoped that he would be able to help her block Director Yang and the other two. Now that he was standing in front of her, she naturally felt extremely at ease, and the smile on her face became much gentler and more beautiful.
Ou Yangxin personally brought a set of tableware for Li Rui. Director Yang's subordinate, Xiao Zhang, was very discerning. He picked up the bottle of wine and walked to Li Rui's side. He rushed to pour wine for him.
Li Rui saw that even an insignificant person like him was so clever, so he had to show off as well, right? Although the purpose of this trip was to drink for Ou Yangxin, and even to intimidate Director Yang and the other two, at least on the surface, they had to be polite. Therefore, they got up and took the bottle from Xiao Zhang, walked to Director Yang, and filled his glass.
Director Yang was also an experienced official. Seeing this, he immediately pretended to be flattered. He stood up and refused, saying that he didn't dare. Li Rui knew that Director Yang was just being polite, so he didn't take it seriously. He very firmly filled Director Yang's glass and asked him to sit down.
When Director Yang returned to his seat, he had a resentful look on his face. He muttered, "Director Li, you are too polite. You don't treat me as a friend. Sigh." However, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. Of course, he had to be proud. After all, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had personally poured wine for him. How could he not be proud when the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who usually served the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was serving a Deputy Director today? He was enjoying the treatment of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee!
Li Rui poured wine for the Deputy Director of the Procurement Administration Department. He had to be polite to him. When he was about to fill Xiao Zhang's glass, Xiao Zhang was so scared that his face turned pale. He snatched the bottle from Li Rui's hand and poured two drops for himself.
When Li Rui returned to his seat, he saw that he had pretended to be polite. He showed his bayonet and asked Director Yang with a smile. "Director Yang, how did you drink today? How did you make our Ouyang look like this? Normally, when I drink with her, I don't dare to make her drink like this. She is my good friend. If you make her drink like this, I have to fight for her. Haha. "
He sounded like he was joking, but there was a hint of condemnation in his words. He was almost directly asking Director Yang, "Why did you make Ouyang Xin like this? Are you harboring evil intentions? " However, he said it very cleverly. At least on the surface, he didn't sound like he was blaming Director Yang. He was just joking.
After Li Rui said this, he felt that his speaking skills had improved greatly. This improvement not only referred to the skill of speaking, but also to the courage of his words. If it was in the past, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to use this kind of tone to speak to a dignified deputy director. But now, he was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaofan, and the son-in-law of the provincial governor, Lu Zhouxing. He said these words casually, as if he was born to speak like this. He also knew in his heart that his courage came entirely from his boss, Song Chaofan. If he hadn't given him a new identity and started a new life, how could he be sitting here today and boasting shamelessly to an old fox like Director Yang?
At this moment, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of Wei Xiaobao's happiness after he was promoted by Kangxi in "The Deer and the Cauldron". His mood was incomparably happy. He felt that his spirit had greatly improved at this moment, as if his entire person had undergone a qualitative change. This feeling of good fortune made him extremely happy. He didn't know what to think, but he raised his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him. He didn't touch anyone's glass, but he brought it to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
This scene fell into the eyes of Director Yang and the other two. The three of them were all frightened. If it was said that Li Rui's joking words of reproach made the three of them feel ashamed and frightened, then his action of drinking a glass by himself made the three of them feel even more uneasy.
Director Yang even thought in his heart, it's over, it's over. Director Li is really angry. Otherwise, why would he not even touch me and just drink a glass by himself? There were only two kinds of situations when one drank at a banquet. One was to punish oneself, and the other was to express anger. Director Li was obviously the latter. He must have seen the three of them bullying Ou Yangxin too ruthlessly, so he drank to express his anger. Unfortunately, they didn't know what position Ou Yangxin had in his heart, so they didn't know the extent of his anger. However, the two of them were handsome and the woman was beautiful. Just now, he said that they were good friends. Could it be … could it be that there was something between the two of them? Thinking of this, his heart became more and more frightened.
There was no need to mention how embarrassed he was at this moment. He was embarrassed because he was scolded by Li Rui on the spot, but he was also scared because he was afraid of offending Li Rui. The Vice Director of the Reception Department, who was a veteran and didn't even blush when drinking half a catty of white wine, was now inexplicably blushing. It was amazing.
Ou Yangxin saw Li Rui's handsome action of drinking a glass by himself, but her beautiful eyes lit up. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at his face, and her rosy lips showed an elegant and charming arc.
Director Yang smiled and said, "Director Li, you're right. It's … it's us who were rude. General Manager Ou Yangxin, I'm sorry. How about we punish ourselves by drinking a glass to express our apology? "
The Vice Director of the Procurement Department and Xiao Zhang were both shocked when they saw his servile behavior. Well, a dignified Vice Director of the Reception Department, was now being scolded by a small secretary. What was even more outrageous was that he didn't even dare to fart after being scolded. Instead, he was embarrassed and gloomy as he apologized. This was really sensational. But thinking about it carefully, what he did wasn't wrong. He had no choice. After all, the other party wasn't an ordinary person. He was someone close to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. As the old saying goes, a person close to the Prime Minister is a third rank official. Although this Li Rui was only a small secretary, he was actually the spokesperson of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. Who would dare to offend such an important person?
Li Rui also didn't think that Director Yang would be so frightened by his words. He was happy that he succeeded in intimidating Director Yang, but he also regretted it. Director Yang respected him, so why did he scare him like this? This wasn't the way to make friends. He hurriedly said, "Aiya, Director Yang, you're too serious. How would I dare to criticize you? I was just joking. Look at you … it seems like I was too impulsive. Let me punish myself by drinking a glass to express my apology. "After saying this, he stood up and went to get the wine bottle.
On the other side, Xiao Zhang had already picked up the wine bottle and walked towards him. He smiled and said, "Director Li, please sit down. I'll fill your glass."
When Li Rui and Director Yang were talking, Ou Yangxin had been watching coldly from the side. She was secretly impressed by Li Rui's clever words and experience in dealing with things. She also saw that he quietly intimidated Director Yang and taught him a lesson. She was both amused and grateful. But when she thought about how he called her "Our Ou Yangyang", the way he used was a bit intimate, and she blushed. Of course, she also knew that he deliberately said it so intimately so that Director Yang and the other two people would feel that she had a deep relationship with him. Then Director Yang and the other two people wouldn't bully her because of his face.
"He really has a way to deal with these people. It seems that I was right to call him here."
When Ou Yangxin thought of this, the smile on her face became wider. Coupled with her drunkenness, she looked quite charming. Under the illumination of the light, she was incomparably charming. It was very moving.
Li Rui unintentionally glanced at her and saw her charming appearance. He was almost stunned and secretly praised her. He didn't dare to look at her anymore. He turned around and looked at Director Yang. He raised his glass and said, "Director Yang, I said something wrong just now. I'll punish myself by drinking a glass to apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart." After saying this, he was about to drink a glass to punish himself. Director Yang saw that he knew how to behave and secretly liked him. He hurriedly reached out and pressed down on his glass. He smiled and said, "Slow down. I'll drink with you."
The other two people also said, "Let's drink together."
