Chapter 33 Welcome Luncheon
The welcome lunch was held at the county party committee guesthouse restaurant. Li Rui and his group followed Yu Shungen, Yang Gensheng and two deputy ministers of the Organization Department to walk towards the guesthouse restaurant. When they arrived at the door, another group of people also walked in just the right place, leading a middle-aged man with big belly and shiny hair.
"Director Yang, long time no see!"
"Oh! Secretary Pan, look at what you said. We just met in the department for a meeting last month!" Yang Gensheng hurriedly stepped forward and held the middle-aged man's hand with both hands, "I must have two drinks with Secretary Pan today."
"Haha, Director Yang, you are a guest. Today, I should have a good drink with you. Secretary Ji went to the countryside today and specifically told me to entertain Director Yang." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Please!"
The two groups of people were surrounded by three leaders in one after another. The middle-aged man with a big belly was Pan Yuan, the deputy secretary of the party and mass in Nanqiao County. He was transferred from the position of executive deputy county magistrate of Shihu County two years ago. Li Rui noticed that although Pan Yuan talked and laughed with Yang Gensheng, he did not communicate much with Yu Shungen. It seems that Chen Jianghua said that the Organization Minister overwhelmed the Deputy Secretary.
When he arrived at the private room on the second floor, Pan Yuan invited Yang Gensheng to sit in the middle. Yang Gensheng refused firmly. Although Yang Gensheng is also a deputy director, his deputy director is of high quality. It is impossible to compare with real deputy directors like Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen, and they are all members of the Standing Committee.
After some politeness, Pan Yuan sat in the chief, Yu Shungen was on the left and Yang Gensheng was on the right. Everyone sat down one by one around the twelve-person large round table, and Li Rui sat next to Yang Gensheng.
"Since I'm going to sit in this seat today, I'm the wine commander. Come on! Let's have a drink first." Pan Yuan picked up the wine glass, looking very generous.
Everyone stood up and had a drink. Yang Gensheng put down his wine glass, but did not sit down immediately, but pulled Li Rui and introduced: "Secretary Pan, let me introduce it first. This is Li Rui, a top student at Yanjing University and an outstanding cadre from the Municipal Planning Commission."
Yang Gensheng's purpose today is to protect Li Rui. Taking this opportunity to launch Li Rui grandly can be considered as completing the task.
"Haha, I didn't expect Xiao Li to be so young, okay! Xiao Li, Secretary Ji did not come today. On behalf of our Nanqiao County Party Committee, I welcome you to work in Nanqiao. At the same time, I also believe that you will find a stage to display your abilities in Nanqiao and contribute to the development of Nanqiao. Minister Yu, let's welcome Xiao Li together." Pan Yuan smiled.
In fact, Li Rui was sitting next to Yang Gensheng. Anyone with a discerning eye could understand who he was at a glance. Yu Shungen could take the initiative to say hello to Li Rui, and Pan Yuan must wait until Yang Gensheng officially introduced it, which also indirectly reflects the different working methods of the two county party committee leaders.
Yu Shungen also stood up again with a glass of wine. After the morning conversation, he had a good impression of Li Rui and said with a smile: "Xiao Li! Secretary Pan and I would like to wish you a cup together. I hope you can gain a firm foothold in our Nanqiao, make some achievements steadily, and make your due contribution to the development of Nanqiao."
It was also a welcome statement, Pan Yuan was a scene, but Yu Shungen's words were quite realistic.
Li Rui quickly stood up, holding a cup in both hands and said, "Thank you, both leaders, I will work hard in the future and live up to the expectations of the leaders. The two leaders are at will, I will do it."
Li Rui was holding a large cup of two and a half, and the 52-degree Luzhou Laojiao. After half of the cup was gone, a hot energy spread along his throat. Fortunately, Li Rui was also a good comrade who was tested for alcohol, and his face was not visible at all. Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen drank half a cup with a smile.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere slowly rose. Two deputy ministers of the Organization Department and two section chiefs of a deputy director of the county party committee office also raised their glasses toast. After all, Yang Gensheng came back from the army, and had a lot of alcohol and was also good at adjusting the atmosphere. With Li Rui's intentional agreement, there was a smell of soldiers coming to block the water and soil.
A man who looked like a manager quickly walked in and said a few words in Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen's ears. Pan Yuan smiled slightly, but did not avoid the person on the table. He said to Shungen: "Since County Magistrate Yang is next door, Lao Yu, let's go over and give him a cup?"
Yu Shungen's expression was as usual, and when he heard Pan Yuan's suggestion, he nodded: "Okay." Then he turned to Yang Gensheng and said: "Do you want Lao Yang to be with me?"
"I'll forget it, I'm not very familiar with County Mayor Yang." Yang Gensheng smiled and waved his hand. As the director of the Second Department of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department in charge of district and county cadres, Yang Gensheng also has his reserve.
Just as Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen were about to get up, the door of the private room was pushed open from outside.
"Haha, Secretary Pan and Minister Yu, I heard that Director Yang of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department is here, I'll toast a glass of wine." A cheerful voice came in from outside the door, and it was really said that people arrived before they could hear it.
Yang Liqing, the county magistrate of Nanqiao County, is under forty years old. He is tall and big, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a tall and decent figure. He is holding a wine glass, followed by a thin man, with a slightly wide suit on his body, which is a bit like a monkey-like scent. He is also holding a bottle of Wuliangye in his hand.
When the county magistrate arrived, everyone stood up. Pan Yuan smiled and said, "County Magistrate Yang, why are you here? Old Yu and I are about to go to your place to toast."
Yang Liqing waved his hand, "You just don't have to come here for a few merchants from the province." As he said that, he smiled at Yang Gensheng and said, "Director Yang, I'm sorry, I can't come here to accompany you in person if you have something to do, I will punish myself later."
"You are polite to County Magistrate Yang. You are the parents in my hometown. If I were to be in ancient times, I would respect you and call you old parents. I should respect you." Yang Gensheng also said with a smile on his face.
"You can't write two Yang characters in one stroke. You are both my own family. I think you'd better have a drink together." Pan Yuan said with a smile.
"Then let's have a drink!"
Without Yang Liqing's instructions, the thin man following him rushed to help the two of them fill up the wine.
After the two had a drink, Yang Liqing and Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen each had another drink.
"This is Comrade Li, a newcomer from the Coal Management Bureau, right?" Yang Liqing smiled and turned his eyes to Li Rui.
"County Magistrate Yang, I am Li Rui." Li Rui said hurriedly.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Du Jinsong from the Coal Management Bureau. Today, you two directors and secretary will get to know each other first." Yang Liqing pointed to the thin man following behind and introduced.
Li Rui suddenly realized that no wonder Yu Shungen saw this thin man before, and a strange color flashed through his eyes. What does it mean? I openly support Du Jinsong or warn him?
"Hello, Secretary Li, hello! I've heard that you are coming for a long time, and I finally hope you." The thin man stepped forward and shook hands with Li Rui with a smile, with a hint of pride in his expression.
Others can call Li Rui Xiao Li, but it seems a bit arrogant to call Secretary Xiao Li when Du Jinsong and Li Rui meet for the first time. Yang Gensheng couldn't help but frown and glanced at Li Rui with some concern.
Li Rui's expression did not change. He also noticed that Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen's eyes seemed to be paying attention to him, and smiled faintly, "Oh, it turns out to be Director Du, Hello, Director Du!"
Director Du! Du Jinsong's face suddenly froze slightly. In fact, he is not old, but it is the first time that someone calls him Director Du. A trace of sharpness flashed in Li Rui's eyes! Little bastard, he doesn't know if his hair has grown, and he actually wants to be on an equal footing with himself. Let's see how I deal with you in the future.
The two of them shook their hands briefly, but the people around them saw it, but their thoughts were different. Yang Liqing was a little surprised. The young man in front of him seemed to be a good-looking lamp; Pan Yuan's expression had not changed, and there seemed to be a hint of gloating in his eyes; Yu Shungen nodded in his heart, and Li Rui seemed not to be scared by Du Jinsong's threat; while Yang Gensheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was still wondering whether to report to Minister Guo after he returned.
After holding the wine glass, Yang Liqing took a sip and smiled at Li Rui, who was toasting to himself, said, "Xiao Li, welcome you to work at our Nanqiao. Although our Nanqiao is not as good as Pengcheng and the conditions are relatively difficult, we have more than one million simple people and rich coal resources and other natural resources. Now is the critical moment for the development of Nanqiao, especially the Coal Management Bureau, which occupies an important position in the entire economic development layout of Nanqiao. I hope you can unite comrades and work steadily in your new position. I will make achievements in the future, and I will ask for your contribution."
It is said that Yang Liqing has a tough work style and has a little bit of protection for his shortcomings. It seems that he is right. Male Gobi, and he will make achievements in the future to ask for me. The other way around means that if he doesn't do well, he will kick me away or something else? The surname is Du, who has a dead monkey face. You have a backstage. Can't I be so stupid!
Although Li Rui kept cursing in his heart, he still said sincerely on the surface: "County Magistrate Yang, before I came, Minister Guo also reminded me that when I arrived, the first thing I had to do was to unite the comrades around me, learn humbly from old comrades, work down-to-earth, and work hard, and deliver a satisfactory answer. It turned out that I was really unsure in my heart, but today with you, Secretary Pan and Minister Yu were still very concerned and encouraged by me! Let me be full of confidence in my future work. County Magistrate Yang, don't worry, I will definitely learn more from old comrades like Director Du and integrate into the new work as soon as possible. I will not disappoint you."
Everyone knows that Li Rui was sent by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. He is so young, so he must have a backstage. However, at first, Yang Liqing didn't pay much attention. Just a furry child, could he still climb onto Du Jinsong's head? Today he didn't do it on purpose. It happened to be the same. While coming to toast, he knocked on the young boy. Unexpectedly, this boy was not showing any weakness and openly carried Guo Wending out. Yang Liqing couldn't help but take a breath. It seemed that he was a little careless today and did not understand the specific situation.
