Chapter 216 Banquet and Wine

Looking at the fourth brother's face that was as swollen as if he was greatly humiliated, Song Wenhui felt mixed: If it were someone else who gave his son a "reasonable" refutation in front of him, maybe he would still have the joy of "this kid's wings have grown hard". Who would have felt ashamed as him! He thought to himself, maybe he didn't treat Chen Huai as his son at all, right?

As an outsider, Tian Jiageng refuted Song Bingsheng in person to Chen Huai, just as he thought it was the youthful aura and arrogance that young people should have. The calm and confident that Chen Huai showed in every move was also made him appreciate. However, Song Bingsheng's reaction was surprising. He looked at Song Bingsheng strangely. Could it be that he was so narrow-minded that he couldn't even stand refuting his son in person?

Tian Jiageng was secretly alert to Song Bingsheng. He disliked his subordinates who were mediocre and conservative in their abilities, but he was even more disgusted with officials with mediocre abilities, conservative and narrow-minded, believing that such people not only failed to achieve enough, but also failed.

"Haha, Minister Tian, ​​I'm still wondering if I'm calling you for a drink!"

At the stalemate, a cheerful voice came from the direction of the eaves of the corridor.

Chen Huai looked up and saw his second uncle Song Qiaosheng strode towards him. He suddenly recognized that this person was the second uncle Song Qiaosheng.

Although the second uncle Song Qiaosheng has a very similar face to his father, he has broad hands and feet when walking, with a full posture, full of energy and a bright look, giving people a sense of existence that attracts attention all the time. It is only the appearance of the second uncle Song Qiaosheng that Tian Jiageng's low-key and ostentatious attitude slightly restrained.

As the second-generation core figure of the Song Dynasty, as a strong contender for the members of the central team eight years later, Chen Huai was able to feel the momentum beyond ordinary people from his second uncle Song Qiaosheng; Song Hongqi should have deliberately learned from his father, but the temperature was too shallow and he only learned one or two points of similarity.

Chen Huai said intimately: Tian Jiageng had his father and sister-in-law accompanying him into the banquet hall, and there was no need for the second uncle to come out to greet him, thinking that maybe it was to show that he and Tian Jiageng did not make a fuss over the throne.

Song Qiaosheng came over and shook hands with Tian Jiageng, looked at Chen Huai, and asked, "What are you talking about? You are so happy?" When he came out of the banquet hall, he happened to see Tian Jiageng and Chen Huai shook hands, and the fourth brother looked embarrassed, and the scene in front of him made him curious.

Chen Huai glanced back at Song Hongyi and said, "Brother Hongyi and I are discussing Meigang's financing issues. Brother Hongyi doesn't believe that Meigang has the ability to digest 300 million yuan of industrial capital, which happened to be heard by Minister Tian. I didn't expect the work I did in Meixi Town. Minister Tian also knew that he was planning to report Meigang's work to Minister Tian..."

"Hongyi, this guy is ignorant all day long. What kind of economy does he know?" Song Qiaosheng took another step forward, pressed Chen Huai's shoulder, and smiled at Tian Jiageng as if offering treasures, "Minister Tian, ​​how about it? There are also one or two outstanding people among our Song family juniors, right?"

"Well, the Song family is full of talents, Hongqi, Hongjun is capable. I have known it for a long time. I also know Meixi Town and Meigang, but Minister Song, you didn't tell me that Chen Huai is a child of your Song family." Tian Jiageng shook his head and said.

"Haha," said Song Qiaosheng, "I wish I could tell everyone how outstanding my nephew is. But Bingsheng is more strict with Chen Huai, afraid that it would be detrimental to his growth at this time..."

Chen Huai ran Song Hongyi for a long time today. He originally wanted to drag him in and ask him to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that the second uncle would block the matter by tying and beating him, and he also set up a step for his father Song Bingsheng to get down.

This ability to understand the situation and master the situation in a short period of time is also called Chen Huai's secretly shocked.

The momentum was suppressed by Song Qiaosheng, and the scene at this time did not allow Chen Huai to perform exceptionally. He shortened his body and struggled out of Song Qiaosheng's subordinates, and said with a smile: "As soon as I hear the strict requirements, I will have a three-point headache. Yes, I will go with Brother Hongyi, Hongqi and the others, so as not to get the chance of the second uncle, my father, and I will make strict requirements for me..."

Chen Huai stepped back to Song Hongyi, regardless of his face as if it were cooked shrimps, and enthusiastically embraced his shoulders, as if a pair of intimate cousins ​​were talking about family matters.

Song Qiaosheng looked at Chen Huai with his eyes closed, but the smile on his face did not change at all. He shook his head and smiled at Tian Jiageng: "The boy now is just a slippery head..." He seemed to be helpless for a naughty and cunning junior, so he reached out to invite Tian Jiageng to the banquet hall together.

Tian Jiageng laughed, looked at Chen Huai, and then walked up the steps with Song Qiaosheng.

Tang Jianmin glanced at his wife. Outsiders didn't know what kind of person Song Qiaosheng was. As the son-in-law of the Song family, he had been in contact with Song Qiaosheng for decades. He knew that Song Qiaosheng was a person who could make people feel uncomfortable and unable to speak.

Tang Jianmin was also worried that Chen Huai would suppress Song Qiaosheng's aura, but he didn't expect that he would break free so cunningly and force himself to join Hongyi.

Looking at Hongyi's awkward face, Tang Jianmin felt funny when he thought about it. He couldn't blame Chen Huai for being in power and being unforgivable. He deliberately tormented him, but he could only blame him for being too ignorant of advancing and retreating just now.

***************

The Prime Minister came to celebrate the birthday party on behalf of the Central Committee at the birthday party. After the Prime Minister said goodbye, the birthday party officially started.

Those who are at the same table with the old man of the birthday star are either old comrades-in-arms who were born on the battlefield in the past, or older generation figures who retreated like the old man but still have great influence in the party.

Even if these old people cannot be considered the Song Dynasty, they are still in the same mood as the Song Dynasty; most of the elderly who are not very harmonious with the Song Dynasty sent a congratulatory message to the matter.

Among the legitimate and powerful officials, He Xianghuai, the State Councilor and Director of the State Planning Commission, has the highest status, while Tian Jiageng and Minister of Electric Power Dai Chengguo have the same status as Song Qiaosheng.

He and Dai are both promoted by the old man. Together with Song Qiaosheng, they are regarded as the backbone of the Song clan. However, He Xianghuai is already 65 years old this year, and Dai Chengguo is also 61 years old this year.

Nowadays, the older generation's consensus on the rejuvenation of the central leadership is becoming increasingly clear. In the change of leadership in three years, He Xianghuai will almost retire; Dai Chengguo, like Song Qiaosheng, has shortcomings that have no place to cover the experience, and it is quite difficult to further go further. The ideal thing is to go to the local area to work as a senior official in three years to retire.

Song Qiaosheng's biggest advantage lies in his young age, only 56 years old this year. Even if he has made it clear in the future that central-level leaders must retire at the age of 68, he still has twelve years of political life, and he is also the most likely candidate for the Song Dynasty to enter the central leadership team.

Climbed between He Dai and his second uncle, Chen Huai thought that Tian Jiageng would not feel good, but saw Tian Jiageng sitting at the table, talking and laughing with He Xianghuai, Dai Chengguo, seeing that there were still spaces on their table, pointing at his father Song Bingsheng: "Bingsheng wants to work with me in Huaihai. I have to ask him to drink two more glasses of wine in order to better support my work..." He forced his father Song Bingsheng to their table.

Chen Huai thought that his father Song Bingsheng's appointment as deputy governor was about to come down, and he was barely qualified to be at the same table with He Dai and his second uncle, but his father sat down, his expression was clear and restrained, and his aura was suppressed by the bosses of several other ministries and commissions. He was like an aggrieved young wife, and then he immediately removed the weakness of Tian Jiageng's attack on He Dai and his second uncle.

Seeing this scene, Chen Huai sighed slightly in his heart, and understood why after the second uncle failed to compete for the secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, the person behind Tian Jiageng would give his father a sub-provincial and ministerial transaction as a comforting transaction. They really saw it clearly that even if his father was promoted to the provincial and ministerial position, it would not be too much of a threat to them.

Even if his sister-in-law takes over the vice governor, the role of the Song clan is far stronger than his father. Unfortunately, the Song clan has no way of saying this: I have given the Song clans two provincial and ministerial levels, so it is impossible to have anything to be satisfied, right?

Chen Huai naturally could only go with Song Hongjun, Song Hongqi and Tian Jiageng's secretary. Song Hongyi was embarrassed today and wanted to avoid it, but Chen Huai followed him in the banquet hall, acting like he had to seriously discuss the issue of industrial capital. Where could he let him slip away?

Seeing Tian Jiageng get up to toast the old man, Chen Huai said to Song Hongyi: "Brother Hongyi, let's go over to celebrate the old man's birthday..." He didn't allow him to refuse at all. He picked up the wine glass with one hand and pulled Song Hongyi to stand up with the other.

Seeing that his younger brother was sitting still, Song Hongqi reached out and kicked him, asked him to stand up, and at the same time he picked up his wine, greeting Song Hongjun: "You are the boss, come and take the lead. Let us juniors go to the old man to toast wine..."

Song Hongjun knew that Hongyi angered Chen Huai today, but Hongqi would not sit and watch his younger brother bully Chen Huai, so he asked him to bring him up so that there would be no room for Chen Huai to perform when toasting. Although he felt a headache, Hongqi called him on his head, and could only call his peers to toast.

Chen Huai didn't care and followed a large group of people to the main table.

At this time, accompanied by Song Qiaosheng, Tian Jiageng returned to his seat after drinking. Chen Huai immediately turned toward Tian Jiageng, raised his glass and said, "Minister Tian, ​​my father and I will create a new situation in Huaihai Province under your leadership. My father is not good at drinking. On behalf of my father, I will toast Minister Tian with a glass of wine..."

When Chen Huai suddenly made this happen, Song Hongjun and Song Hongqi were caught off guard. They could not be rude to Tian Jiageng, so they could only stop there and wait for Chen Huai to give him a good wine first.

At the same time, they were hesitating in their hearts, whether they would like to greet Tian Jiageng after Chen Huai had given him a drink. But no matter what, Chen Huai was politely respecting him, and they were politely respecting him together, and all the scenery among the juniors was taken over by Chen Huai.

A large group of juniors crowded between the banquet tables, and only Chen Huai was talking and laughing toasting Tian Jiageng. It was impossible not to attract the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

Song Bingsheng looked at his son. He could not scold him at this time and told him to retreat and not cause trouble. Instead, he was very passive and caught up and stood up off guard and accompanied him to pay a glass of wine to Tian Jiageng.

Tian Jiageng stood up, waved to the waiter to fill the wine glass in his hand, and smiled and said to He Xianghuai. Dai Chengguo said, "The Song family is really talented. Chen Huai led the Meigang Group to achieve impressive results at a young age. If Huaihai Province could have more young officials like Chen Huai, the burden I had when I arrived in Huaihai would be much lighter..."

Tian Jiageng stood up, and Song Qiaosheng had to stand up with him, and had to go to He Xianghuai for Chen Huai. Dai Chengguo and other classmates introduced: "Chen Huai is Bingsheng's son, and now the towns under Donghua in Huaihai are training..." Chen Huai gave Tian Jiageng a drink and said to Chen Huai, "You also give Member He and Minister Dai a drink."

Sometimes the same sentence gives people a completely different feeling when it is not in the same atmosphere.

If we knew that Chen Huai was a child of the Song family and only worked in the township, most people would think that he was extremely unprosperous. But in Tian Jiageng, Song Qiaosheng solemnly said that Chen Huai was training in the township, and others would think that this was an intentional arrangement by the Song family? They wanted to see what special things Chen Huai had.

Tian Jiageng stood up to accept the toast, He Xianghuai, Dai Chengguo could not grasp his identity, but also stood up to accept the toast from Chen Huai and Song Bingsheng.

This scene made everyone in the hall stunned: Who is this kid? He is calling for a round of wine, called He Xianghuai, Dai Chengguo, Tian Jiageng stood up one by one to accept it?

Even the old man at the birthday boy's table saw this scene and asked the old man Song Hua: "Old Song, which grandson is you? Are you handsome and handsome?"
