While they were talking, Liu Zhibin walked over quickly and said: "Uncle, second uncle, the county secretary Yan and county magistrate Zhao are here."

Liu Chaoju stopped talking at this time. He looked at Liu Chaofeng. Liu Chaofeng nodded and said, "Let's go out and greet him."

Before they could reach the gate, Yan Mengliang and Zhao Chuangang had already walked in. Yan Mengliang had dealt with Liu Chaofeng, so when he saw Liu Chaofeng, he smiled and said: "Commander Liu, welcome back. Today is the old lady's birthday.

If we, the juniors, ask for a drink, you won't refuse to give it to us."

Liu Chaoju secretly praised Yan Mengliang's ability. With his words, he had sealed his brother's last escape route. Although Liu Chaofeng was a little unhappy, he was the official of his parents in his hometown after all. Although he had left, his brothers still had to go.

Living here, he was always very polite to Yan Mengliang.

"Secretary Yan, look at what you said. It's not too late for me to welcome you when you come! Let's talk inside." Liu Chaofeng can become a commander in the army. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person. He smiled at Yan Mengliang and asked Yan Mengliang.

Liang and Zhao Chuan just went to the living room to say goodbye.

Zhao Chuangang looked at the secretary and Liu Chaofeng talking about the heat, and said to Liu Chaoju who was standing next to him: "Old Liu, this matter is spreading like wildfire now, and they all say that they are having trouble with Mayor Wang. I think your brother is too lazy.

It’s almost done, so let’s accept it as soon as possible. It’s still not too late, so give Mayor Wang a call and give him a solemn invitation.”

Liu Chaoju and Zhao Chuangang have a normal relationship. Hearing what Zhao Chuangang said, he felt a little unhappy. He was not afraid of offending Zhao Chuangang, so he smiled and said: "County Magistrate Zhao, I am very grateful that you came to wish my mother a birthday, but

Please don't get involved in other matters."

Zhao Chuan just found someone who was not interesting, so he did not continue talking. After all, this kind of reconciliation has to be done, and it requires the consent of others.

The four of them walked into the living room that had been tidied up a long time ago. Before they could say a few words after sitting down, someone else came. This time it was He Yanzhou, Secretary of the Municipal Law Committee and Director of Public Security, so Yan Mengliang and Zhao Chuangang also came.

Then he was greeted.

With the arrival of He Yanzhou, Dongpu City's leading cadres at the municipal level came here like a revolving lantern. In just a short while, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Luo Jianqiang, Deputy Secretary Peng Guangbing and others arrived, welcoming Yan Meng who seemed to be welcoming guests.

Liang and Zhao Chuangang always had to stand up to greet the leader as soon as they sat down.

Although the two people did not deal with each other in the past, they could only smile bitterly at each other at this time. The two people who were originally sitting in the middle seat were almost at the door.

With the arrival of Director Li and others from the province, the guests coming and going had calmed down a lot. During the conversation, Liu Chaofeng was naturally the center of everyone. Many topics were centered around him.

Liu Chaofeng was also quite good at conversation. Although he couldn't be said to feel at home, he made everyone smile happily when he spoke.

"Old commander, you are now a military commander in a blink of an eye. We who are still at the department level cannot catch up with Biao Dang. If I had known this, why not work with you all the time?" Director Li cracked melon seeds and smiled.

He said to Liu Chaofeng.

Liu Chaofeng and Director Li were familiar with each other in the past. When he heard what he said, he chuckled and said, "Old Li, if you want to go back to work, it's not impossible. But I'm afraid your stomach won't allow it."

Following his words, many people looked at Director Li with his protruding belly. Waves of laughter spread among the crowd.

If someone said that to Director Li, Director Li would definitely be angry, but it was his old leader who said this, and it was Liu Chaofeng who had a much higher status than him. Director Li felt very happy.

This means that Liu Chaofeng does not regard himself as an outsider, so he chuckled and said: "Old leader, you should have said this earlier. Do you think that it is as easy for a man to get rid of a tingling as it is for a woman?"

Director Li's words were roundabout, but everyone present, who was not an elite in the officialdom, understood the truth one by one, and burst out laughing. Liu Chaofeng even pointed at Director Li and said: "Old Li

Ah, Lao Li, I thought you would be able to change your appearance locally this year, but I never thought you would still be like this."

While everyone was joking, Liu Zhibin ran over quickly and said: "Secretary Dong's car is coming soon."

When most of the visitors were cadres from Dongpu City, Dong Guoqing's arrival was absolutely intimidating. Many cadres who were laughing stopped their smiles and looked towards Liu Chaofeng. Liu Chaofeng and Dong Guoqing also fought.

After talking to each other, he stood up and said, "Everyone, please rest here for a while. I'll go and greet Secretary Dong."

"Let's follow you to greet them." Yan Mengliang and the two men, who were almost outside the door, stood up before Liu Chaofeng could speak, ready to complete their welcoming duties. After all, the top leader of Dongpu City was coming.

, is the person who can really decide their fate.

Seeing most of the people walking out, Director Li and the others could no longer sit still and all stood up. But just as he and the others followed them to the door, they saw Dong Guoqing's car that had been driving.

The Audi car in front slowly came to one side and then stopped there.

"What kind of scene is Secretary Dong acting in?" Just when some people were thinking míhuò, they saw another black car driving over. Looking at the photo of this car, the eyes of Director Li and others suddenly

It lit up.

Director Li was originally behind the crowd, but now he ran forward quickly, and the smile on his face became even brighter. At this time, Liu Chaofeng's eyes showed a hint of real joy.

As the car stopped at the door, Zhang Dongyuan, who was wearing a green suit, walked out with a smile. At the same time as he got off the car, Dongpu Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dong Guoqing also walked out of the car with a smile.

"Dongyuan, you are so serious, you have to travel so far away." Liu Chaofeng and Zhang Dongyuan were not familiar with each other, and he did not call him by his official title, so he greeted him with a smile. Zhang Dongyuan also smiled and said: "Chaofeng,

I want to criticize you. You didn't even notify me of my aunt's eightieth birthday. Are you not being a good friend?"

While the two were talking, others were standing there and listening quietly. Among these people, including Dong Guoqing, who was originally going to be the protagonist. But facts are stronger than people. Now Zhang Dongyuan

He is the deputy governor of the provincial government. Although he is not on the Standing Committee, he is still one step above him.

Looking at Zhang Dongyuan shaking hands with Liu Chaofeng casually, Dong Guoqing couldn't help but feel jealous. As the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he was one of the most powerful department-level cadres in the provincial departments of Shan Province. Zhang Dongyuan was also more powerful than

However, he missed it once. He was still at the department level, while Zhang Dongyuan had become the deputy governor at the deputy ministerial level.

However, although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face, and Liu Chaofeng, as the host, did not let her wait any longer. After greeting Zhang Dongyuan for a few words, Liu Chaofeng greeted Dong Guoqing with a smile.

come over.

"Secretary Dong, welcome!" After Liu Chaofeng said some words of welcome to Dong Guoqing, he welcomed everyone into the hall and walked towards the hall.

Although the Liu family's living room is already one of the largest in the village, there are really too many people here, so the living room still looks very compact. Yan Mengliang and Zhao Chuangang, who had already arrived at the door, were already completely exhausted.

Was squeezed out of the room.

As the leaders of the party and government in Lehui County, the two of them can only sit there and sit there. There is no other way. Although they are the two biggest people in Lehui County, the people in the room now have no choice but to take advantage of them.

When one comes out, his level is higher than both of them.

The main people talking in the living room were Liu Chaofeng, Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Guoqing. Others could not get in the conversation at all. Although some deputy department leaders occasionally added a word or two, they would soon become self-aware and keep silent. The leaders

Talking can't take away the glory of the leader, right? Liu Chaoju had arranged a lot of private rooms before, but when he invited these leaders to go, most of them were unwilling to move.

Director Li is an old comrade of Liu Chaofeng, and he also has a lot of face in front of Zhang Dongyuan. So he talks a little unscrupulously. Among these deputy department-level cadres, he is the one who answers the most conversations.

After doing some other things, Director Li said

He smiled and said to Dong Guoqing: "Secretary Dong, I want to ask you something. Two days ago, I had a drink with you, Mayor Wang. I talked about the return of our old team leader, and invited him to have a good drink with me.

Field, why haven’t you seen him yet?”

Zhang Tong is better than Yan Mengliang. He is at least the deputy mayor and has a seat in the room. While he was listening intently to the conversation between Zhang Dongyuan and others, he did not expect that Director Li would actually mention it.

Prince Jun.

At this time, Zhang Tong was secretly complaining. Director Li didn't ask him about Wang Zijun when he came, so he didn't tell him about Wang Zijun's absence. After all, it was not a glorious thing. In his mind,

It seemed that the agreements made at the wine table, as long as they did not involve business matters, were usually not fulfilled, but he did not expect that Director Li would ask Dong Guoqing about this now.

The cadres of Dongpu City know why Wang Zijun did not come, but they avoid talking about this issue. After all, when all cadres at the deputy department level and above of the municipal party committee and government were invited, they were not invited.

This is something that makes Mayor Wang very embarrassed. If you are joking about this matter, then you will offend Mayor Wang to death. Offending Mayor Wang will not do them any good, so naturally no one will do it for no reason.

to mention this matter.

The entire living room suddenly became quiet, and almost everyone looked at Director Li at the same time. When Director Li looked at him one after another, he realized that he seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have asked.

The problem is, but it's a done deal. Of course, he can't take back what he said.

Zhang Dongyuan had actually discovered this problem a long time ago. He was considered Wang Zijun's elder after all. When Dong Guoqing had already arrived, Wang Zijun had not yet met, so he realized that there must be a problem. But Zhang Dongyuan went deeper.

City government, so we don’t talk about this issue at all.

But Liu Chaofeng only realized after Director Li asked this question. When he came back before, neither Xue Yaojin nor Ren Changping were absent, but now Dong Guoqing is here, the mayor of Dongpu City.

But he didn't come, what's going on?

Although there was a faint smile on Dong Guoqing's face, he looked no different from before, but he was very happy in his heart, and his favorable impression of Director Li, who was informed and knowledgeable, greatly increased. He pondered for a moment and said:

"Mayor Wang had a temporary reception mission and couldn't come, so he asked me to take care of it for the old lady."

Dong Guoqing's words were very appropriate. Although everyone present knew that what he said was a lie and it would not be of any help to Wang Zijun. However, some people praised him in their hearts for knowing the general situation, taking the overall situation into consideration, and being able to maintain the unity of the team.

"Humph, our small temple can't afford a great person like Mayor Wang." Liu Chaoju, who came to the room at an unknown time, sneered and said with sarcasm in his mouth.

His words made the provincial cadres who came with Director Li realize that there was a conflict between the Liu family and the mayor of Dongpu City, and some good people began to treat Dongpu people around them.

City officials asked what was going on.

Liu Chaofeng glared at Liu Chaoju fiercely and said, "Chaoju. Why are you talking? If you have nothing to do, go out first."

"Brother, I'm telling the truth. We can't afford to offend that great god, so we don't dare to invite him." Liu Chaoju smiled sarcastically and continued: "I'm here to ask brother if the banquet can start.

"

Liu Chaofeng looked at the people below who were whispering and talking. He didn't know what these people were talking about. But when the matter reached this point, what he could do was to put this matter aside for now. As for what happens next, that would happen later.

Say it again.

He glanced at Zhang Dongyuan and saw that Zhang Dongyuan's brows were frowning tightly. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Dongyuan if he could open the banquet, but he swallowed it back.

Zhang Dongyuan was thinking about Wang Zijun at this time. When things got to this point, he knew that Wang Zijun was being criticized by some mean people, which was a loss. When he came, many people from the province also came.

Almost all the party and government teams of Dongpu City moved here, but he, the acting mayor, was not invited.

Although this is a trivial matter, it is nice to say but not nice to hear!

But at this time, even if Zhang Dongyuan wanted to eliminate the impact on Wang Zijun, he was still half-hearted and didn't know where to start. If what he said was slightly inappropriate, it would probably make the matter more and more unpleasant.

"Then..." Just when Liu Chaofeng was about to open the banquet, he changed the subject and asked, "Has Political Commissar Tang of the Military Division arrived?"
