"Hey! Hello, is it Mayor Chen Ping of Luzhuang?"

"It's me, is there anything wrong?"

"Hello Mayor Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm the front desk of Jiangnan Building. That's it. The Jiangnan Beijing Office will hold a welcome dinner in the Peony Box on the third floor at 7:30 tonight. Director Zhang of the Beijing Office asked me to inform you to attend."

"Okay, I understand."

...

This was a call that Chen Ping received. After moving his information into the room in the morning, Chen Ping and Li Jupeng drove around the nearby car. Then in the afternoon, Chen Ping took the train for a night, so he rested for a while, but at around three o'clock, Chen Ping received such a call. He looked at the prompts of the hotel's front desk and couldn't help but wonder.

Of course, Chen Ping did not suspect that this was a prank or something. He believed that this was definitely a notification from the front desk lady, and there was indeed a welcome dinner tonight on the Peony Box, but what made Chen Ping wonder was why the Provincial Office in Beijing held this welcome dinner? Who was this welcome dinner for?

If this welcome dinner was held for himself, Chen Ping would not believe it.

You should know that the officialdom is usually very strict, and most officials and men also have their own official auras, so it is impossible for leaders to welcome subordinates.

Perhaps the Provincial Office in Beijing is just an institution under the General Office of the Provincial Government, so it should look like a department-level unit, and it is the same level as Chen Ping, who is at the same level.

However, since the location of this unit and its responsibilities are too important, we must communicate frequently on behalf of the province and the central ministries and commissions, or make some decisions on behalf of the province. It can be said that the Beijing Office is the face of the province in Beijing. Therefore, the Beijing Office usually has a low-level and high-level layout, and is generally the director of the Beijing Office served as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government. In some special provinces and special time points, there are even a top-ranking secretary-general who will serve as the director of the Beijing Office.

The Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing is no exception, following this tradition. The director of the Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing is Zhang Hui, who serves as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government. At the same time, in order to make him move more freely in the capital, the province even upgraded his level to the main office after appointing him as the director of the Beijing Office.

It is obviously impossible for a provincial government official at the level of the department to hold a welcome dinner for a county and city official like Chen Ping. If this proposition is valid, it can only be a result, that is, the thing he is most worried about finally happened.

Chen Ping thought this way, but he was not pessimistic. He had long expected that his trip to Beijing would not be so simple. After all, in this information age, it would be impossible for him to hide the news of his visit to Beijing from Zhang Jinchi. So with his political IQ, after learning that he came to Beijing, even if he didn't know about the National Development and Reform Commission, he would definitely guess that he had another purpose. Judging from his style, it would be abnormal if he did not send people to the capital to destroy him.

After understanding this, Chen Ping felt much more relieved and began to sort out the information he brought, not thinking too much about the welcome dinner. Anyway, the soldiers came to block the water and soil.

In addition, Chen Ping did not immediately call his secretary Zhang Tao and driver Yu Dajiang because they drove a long-distance bus all night and rushed to Beijing from Luzhuang. Although they themselves said that they were driving in shifts and were not too tired and could go directly to work, Chen Ping still hoped that his two subordinates could have a little more rest, so it was not until after six o'clock in the evening that Chen Ping called Zhang Tao to prepare him to attend this inexplicable welcome dinner.

Since Chen Ping was invited by Zhang Hui, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and a director-level leader, Chen Ping knew that only leaders in the officialdom had the privilege of being late or on time, so he went down to the restaurant on the third floor a quarter of an hour in advance. However, when he pushed open the door of the peony box, the situation inside still surprised him.

At this time, Zhang Hui was already sitting in the private room, and there were Wang Shousheng, deputy director of the Beijing Office, and other officials in the Beijing Office. In addition, there was the person sitting in the seat, Xu Yi, executive vice mayor of Linjiang City.

An executive vice mayor sat on the top of the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government at the level of a department. It sounds a bit wrong, but in fact it is the case, because Linjiang City is not just the provincial government of Jiangnan Province, but is even a sub-provincial city. Therefore, the agencies at all levels of Linjiang City are higher-level, just like Luzhuang. So Xu Yi, the executive vice mayor, is actually a leader who enjoys the treatment of the deputy provincial level, and he is also a guest in the capital. In this way, it is not surprising that he sits in the upper seat.

Seeing Xu Yi's face, Chen Ping felt aware. He smiled in his heart. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinchi, who is a dignified governor, is not very sharp in his move!

Chen Ping could guess the reason why Xu Yi came to the capital without thinking. It was nothing more than Zhang Jinchi understood his purpose, but he could not deal with him as a county magistrate, so he launched the provincial capital Linjiang City to compete with him for the investment projects of the Development and Reform Commission. It would be best to snatch the investment projects. Even if he couldn't grab it, it would be okay to ruin his own side.

I am just a deputy mayor at the level of a department, and the other party actually sent a deputy mayor who enjoyed the treatment of a deputy provincial level to be an opponent, which really looks down on me.

Chen Ping was thinking this in his heart. At this time, Xu Yi, opposite, saw Chen Ping coming in, and asked Zhang Hui, the director of the Beijing Office next to him, and said, "Director Zhang, is this person the person you are waiting for? Who is he?"

Zhang Hui pretended to be surprised and said, "He is Chen Ping, deputy mayor of Luzhuang City. Why don't you know him?"

Xu Yi said with a roar, "Director Zhang, don't say anything, I really don't know him."

"This is normal! Mayor Xu, you are the leader of Linjiang City, our Jiangnan Provincial Government. He is just a small county magistrate. Mayor Xu, you have a lot of troubles and it is normal that you don't have time to meet such a small role." Zhang Hui said.

"Director Zhang, I don't think that's the case," said Xu Yi. "Luzhuang is the top scorer in the top 100 economic counties in the country. Although under the leadership of the recent Luzhuang leadership team, Luzhuang's economy has been put into continuous weakness and regression, this leadership team is still very ambitious. They want to let Luzhuang's economy grow by 70% on the basis of last year before the end of this year. So, Director Zhang, you said that Mayor Chen is a small role, but he really underestimates him."

As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, an official from the Beijing Office spoke next to him, saying: "Economic growth is 70%. Even with the economic strength of Luzhuang City, this is impossible. Isn't this a big leap in satellites? "

After the official finished speaking, he burst into laughter at the scene, and another official said, "Director Li, you can't say that! Maybe we, Mayor Chen, have the ability to pull seedlings and encourage growth?"

"Yes! Look, mayor Chen is coming to the capital now? Maybe this is because of this." Another official echoed.

Chen Ping quietly looked at the officials in front of him saying group crosstalk and did not express any opinions. When those people saw that Chen Ping had no reaction at all, they felt that it was boring to just be the ones who were singing a one-man show.

So, when Xu Yi and Zhang Hui had a little displeasure expression on their faces, Wang Shousheng, the deputy director next to him, shouted at Chen Ping and said: "Mayor Chen, don't you see what time it is now. Do you still have any concept of time? You have already done a very wrong thing to ask Mayor Xu and Director Zhang to wait in the private room. Now that you have come, you are showing off your ideas of leadership. Do you still have some organizational discipline in your eyes?"

Facing the common organizational discipline hat used in the officialdom by Wang Shousheng, Chen Ping said calmly: "I'm sorry, leaders, today is my personal mistake. I apologize to all leaders, and I promise I will never make the same mistake again in the future! And just now, I saw that the leaders would actually wait for such a small role as me, which made me a little unbelievable and a little flattered."

Chen Ping's words made Xu Yi and Zhang Hui on the other side a little surprised. After all, they obviously said it to Chen Ping on purpose, with the purpose of embarrassing him. However, judging from Chen Ping's reaction, it seemed that it had no effect on him, which made them look down on Chen Ping at a high glance and think that Chen Ping is not ordinary.

In particular, Chen Ping did not explain that he actually came half an hour in advance, but there was something wrong with the notification he received.

Because since Xu Yi and others are here, it proves that this matter must have been intentional. No matter how much he explains, it will only add to the laughing stock. He just apologized and even praised the officials on the other side for their actions. It is obviously the most correct one.

Zhang Hui thought about this for a moment, and then said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, you don't need to apologize. If you really realize your mistake, sit down quickly. You can't let us be hungry and continue listening to your explanation, right?"

Chen Ping smiled apologetically and said, "Director Zhang is sorry. I saw so many leaders waiting for me to have dinner here. It really made me feel a little scared and nervous, so my mind is blank now, I will sit right away, right away."

After Chen Ping said that, he walked towards the dining table. His actions made everyone admire his courage, especially Zhang Hui, who invited him.

Zhang Hui is the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and is undoubtedly a subordinate of Governor Zhang Jinchi. The reason why he invited Chen Ping to come today was nothing more than Zhang Jinchi's instruction to deliberately humiliate Chen Ping and give Chen Ping a warning.

I believe Chen Ping must have already understood this point since he entered the door, so here, Zhang Hui used this point to put a small trap for Chen Ping.

At this time, if Chen Ping could not bear the humiliation of himself and turned around and left, he would be a charge of ignoring the leader and disrespecting the leader. This matter may not seem big, and it also seems that it would not pose any threat to him who is dependent on the big tree of the Xiao family, but he could give Zhang Jinchi some opportunities to make trouble to win more support from the province.

I believe that if Chen Ping really did this, his trip to Beijing would actually bring considerable gains to Zhang Jinchi.

But Chen Ping obviously saw this, so he did not leave rashly, but stayed easily. This was not just the solution that he had to cultivate Qi Kung Fu as before, but also needed enough courage to face everything. No matter which point it was, it should not be what a small county magistrate should have.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hui couldn't help but reach out to Chen Ping and signaled: "Mayor Chen comes to sit with me and Mayor Xu."

Facing Zhang Hui's invitation, Chen Ping shirked and said, "Director Zhang respects me so much, but it's still not good! Director Zhang, everyone here is the leader, and you and Mayor Xu are even provincial leaders. How can I sit with you? Then I will be really leaderless!"

As Chen Ping said this, in fact, he knew the situation in the box very clearly. Chen Ping's idea was very simple. Since Xu Yi and Zhang Hui were both Zhang Jinchi's people, they would definitely give themselves a warning in order to make things difficult for themselves. Since he couldn't avoid this, it would be much better to face it directly.

In addition, Chen Ping also understood that in the face of an opponent of Zhang Jinchi's level, he had to deal with it carefully in many aspects. This is not a qualities that are all soldiers, but a qualities that must be possessed. You must know that the officialdom is a place where you need to be very resilient. Any huge troubles that may be caused by face and dignity are stupid. Chen Ping obviously would not give himself the opportunity to make such low-level mistakes, so he chose to sit here and adapt to the situation on the field.

Regarding Chen Ping's refusal, Zhang Hui continued: "Mayor Chen, how can this be a leaderless person? We are eating now, not having a meeting. We Chinese people pay attention to the fact that there is no size on the table. Mayor Chen is a guest from afar, so it is natural to sit next to me."

After Zhang Hui finished speaking, he did not give Chen Ping a chance to speak, so he turned to ask Xu Yi for his opinion and said, "I believe Mayor Xu also supports it?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Mayor Chen, just sit down. No problem, we all agree."

Faced with Zhang Hui and Xu Yi's persuasion, Chen Ping frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Since Mayor Xu and Director Zhang have said that, if I refuse again, I will be ungrateful, so I'd rather obey my duty than respect."

After saying that, Chen Ping sat directly on Xu Yi's right hand and let his secretary Zhang Tao sit beside him. Chen Ping's actions immediately stunned everyone.
