Chapter Five Hundred and Five Conference Reception Dinner
For the officialdom, meetings and banquets seem to have always been a companion relationship. Wherever the meeting is held, local agencies will definitely hold reception banquets for participants in designated hotels. Then this county economic conference held by the Central Committee and hosted by Binhai City will naturally be no exception.
On the night after the first day of the meeting, the reception dinner of the Binhai Municipal Government was held at the Binhai Hotel.
It is not difficult to guess from the name of this hotel that this hotel is probably the industry of the Binhai Municipal Government, but this is normal. In this banquet, the mayors and secretaries of the county and city in the country, as well as the leaders and guests who attended the banquet, there were more than 2,000 people. The dinners of so many people, and the consumption generated by them will be cheaper if they don’t give them to their own people?
Chen Ping arrived at the hotel on time in the evening. This Binhai hotel is located in the center of Binhai, which is only separated from the Binhai Municipal Government Building by a wall. There is also a large area of green space outside the banquet hall. If it were not for the municipal government's industry, I am afraid no one would be able to build such a large area in this Binhai City Center where every inch of land is valuable.
Through the notice, Chen Ping knew that tonight, Deputy Mayor of Binhai City Cai Annan would also attend the reception dinner on behalf of Binhai City to show the support of the Binhai City Government for the county economic conference held in Binhai City.
Of course, because the leaders of the Binhai Municipal Government and the Development and Reform Commission are here, Chen Ping and other officials from various counties and cities have to sit back.
Chen Ping was looking for his place, and saw Zhang Yao, the mayor of Jiyang, waving to him not far away. Chen Ping then said to his secretary Zhang Tao: "You go find your place."
After Zhang Tao left, Chen Ping walked to the table where Zhang Yao was. When Chen Ping approached, he found that there were already many people sitting on the table. When Zhang Yao saw Chen Ping coming, he stood up immediately and said to Chen Ping unhappily: "I said Mayor Chen, you are a little bit of a big name! You are here now. You have to pass the level later to apologize to us."
After Zhang Yao finished speaking, officials in Jiangnan Province, like the mayor of Shagang, Wang Zhongwu, all started to urge Chen Ping to drink, and they seemed to have not put Chen Ping down. They were like they were in vain today.
Facing this scene, Chen Ping said in surprise: "What's the situation? Why did I go to a toilet? Why did I become a public enemy when I come back? Mayor Zhang, you are completely provoking conflicts between revolutionary cadres, and you have ulterior motives!"
Zhang Yao said: "Mayor Chen, what you said is wrong. It is obvious to everyone that you are late. It is reasonable to ask you to drink and apologize. How can it be called provocation?"
Listening to Zhang Yao's words, Chen Ping was about to say something, but Wang Zhongwu on the other side suddenly jumped out a sentence, which made everyone laugh. He said: "Is the toilet a woman with a very beautiful figure? Mayor Chen, you have delayed such an important dinner, so you should go to her first?"
"I didn't expect that Mayor Wang, you are old and you usually look honest and kind, but you can speak amazingly!" Zhang Yao said with a smile.
"This is called keeping pace with the times! If I can't keep up with the times, I will be eliminated by the times!" Wang Zhongwu said.
When the whole table was laughing at Wang Zhongwu's sudden words, Chen Ping noticed that although Liu Weirong, the mayor of Minjiang who was sitting at the same table, also squeezed out a smile, he was colder than others.
Is this guy still struggling with his identity as the deputy mayor, thinking that sitting on the same table with him has lost his identity? If this is the case, then he is too concerned about his face, right?
Chen Ping thought so, but he could not control the affairs of others, especially officials from other provinces. He spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, then sat down. He said to Zhang Yao: "Mayor Zhang, we used to work under the same leader. Speaking of which, we are comrades in the trench! We should be in the same gun with our hands, how can you still target me?"
"Mayor Chen, you're wrong," said Zhang Yao. "I think at the table, only one comrade in the trench can drink and have an atmosphere! I'm too lazy to care about other people!"
Chen Ping sighed and said, "Mayor Zhang, your behavior is simply to eat pancakes, fried meatballs, and it is to set up a cannon to fight in! People like you, civil war, internal and foreign wars, are not allowed. We must unite and be united to the outside world, so that we can stand invincible on the battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder."
Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Ping's words, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that Mayor Chen, you are also a famous military theorist. It would be a pity for you not to serve the People's Army!"
When Chen Ping and Zhang Yao were joking here, they heard a commotion from the entrance. Chen Ping and the others subconsciously looked over. Originally, Chen Ping only thought that there was a leader or something. After all, not every leader liked to enter the venue at the point, so it was nothing strange that a leader came early.
But when Chen Ping looked over, he was stunned for a moment because he was too familiar with the person who came in, Le Qingyun, who had been together last night.
At this time, Le Qingyun was wearing a white evening dress, looking noble and elegant. Her pretty face was painted with light makeup, outlining her perfect facial features, and her whole body revealed a pure and beautiful temperament, just like the most perfect school beauty in everyone's memory.
No one doesn't love beauty, especially girls like Le Qingyun who reveals pure temperament. Everyone has their own lover in their hearts, but Le Qingyun seems to be able to overlap with all those perfect goddesses. In addition, although there are officials on the scene, they don't know how many fans there are, so as soon as she walked in, it immediately caused a sensation.
Le Qingyun held her brother Le Feng's arm, smiled frequently and nodded like the officials who greeted her, without any pretentiousness.
Seeing Le Qingyun, Zhang Yao beside Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh: "This Binhai Municipal Government is different. I heard that Le Qingyun rarely attends such banquets. She went to various places to film and perform, and even local provincial cadres invited her. I didn't expect that she could actually see her at this reception dinner."
Chen Ping did not answer Zhang Yao's words because at this time Le Qingyun obviously saw Chen Ping and blinked at him playfully.
Chen Ping was a little helpless about this. When he was at Le Qingyun's house in the afternoon, Le Qingyun did tell him that he wanted to accompany him to attend this dinner in the evening. However, Chen Ping only thought that Le Qingyun was joking at that time, so he didn't take it seriously. He just said that this was an official gathering, why did she come here as a person in the entertainment industry? Later, Le Qingyun didn't insist on anything, and Chen Ping didn't take it to heart. Now he didn't expect that this girl was actually here. If she didn't bring her, she would ask her brother to bring him.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but complain to Le Feng, why did this guy be a brother? Is it just to bring his own girl to such a banquet to show off?
Just when Chen Ping frowned and was helpless, Le Feng on the other side was very unfair because he didn't want to bring Le Qingyun to such a banquet. It was not that this was a vulgar banquet, but that he just wanted his own girls to act well and not to touch these habits in the officialdom.
But no matter how much he thought, he still couldn't withstand Le Qingyun's begging, especially Le Qingyun and his wife had a very strong relationship, and they were as close as a sister. If Le Qingyun complained to his wife, he wouldn't have a good life. It was precisely because of this that Le Feng brought Le Qingyun to this dinner.
Le Feng was originally wondering why Le Qingyun suddenly wanted to attend such an official banquet, but when he saw Chen Ping, he understood everything. It turned out that the girl from home was for this man.
At this time, Le Feng couldn't help but feel helpless. He thought that his girl was so beautiful and had a good personality. Now she is still the leading movie star in China. How many people spent millions of dollars to smile at her, but she was disdainful of these things. Why did she miss Chen Ping? Now she has broken the rules for him not to attend official banquets. What magic does Chen Ping have?
Le Feng admitted that it was amazing that Chen Ping was able to become the deputy mayor of Luzhuang at a young age, but this could not be the reason why his girl was so obsessed with him!
