The entrance of the restaurant.
Many people watched Dong Xuebin and Richemont enter. No one expected that there was an invitation, so why was there such a big fuss just now
As soon as the person left, the guard couldn't hold it in anymore. "Political Commissar Yan! The attitude of that person just now was really...
The officer looked at him and said, "Just say a few words less and don't use your brain. If he doesn't have this weight, would he dare to yell at you at Commander Xiong's birthday party? Since he dares to do this, it means he has the right to do so." With this confidence, you can be more flexible and smart next time! If you don’t understand, you can come back and ask me. As for this? How do you think it’s not loud enough for others?”
The guard said unconvinced: "What weight does he have?"
"What weight do you think he has? Didn't you see his invitation number?"
"Number?" The guard was slightly... startled, "What number?"
"002" the officer patted the notebook and sighed: "In other words, when Commander Xiong asked someone to get invitations, he was the second one to send them!"
The guard said in shock: "Are the numbers in order?"
"What do you think? You almost offended someone!" The officer threw the notebook to him. "You should see for yourself who No. 001 and No. 003 are."
The guard took it over and took a look, and immediately gasped. Not to mention the first three, even the first twenty were among the best in the military. Some of Deputy Commander Xiong's old subordinates could only be ranked in the forties or fifties. , there is even a college with a ranking of thirty-three, and the young man who just entered is actually the second? You must know that this kind of ranking is the most important in China, and every ranking is very particular. There is a saying about who is in front and who is behind. So you can know with your feet. If you are ranked second by Deputy Commander Xiong It was an invitation, and the young man who just entered was definitely not an ordinary person! Who was the leader of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection you just mentioned? I'm afraid it's definitely not that simple!
"But I didn't see him." The guard said bitterly.
In fact, it wasn't just him. If the officer hadn't known that the invitations were arranged in order by number, he wouldn't have seen how big of a figure Dong Xuebin was. The information was obtained through some channel, but it was fake. The officer felt that it was possible, but he really didn't dare to ask. If it was true, wouldn't he offend someone? The officer would rather believe the person who ranked second in Deputy Commander Xiong's heart than check his identity.
"Be more careful in what you say and do in the future." The officer told him: "You should not judge a person by his appearance. It is always right to be smarter."
"Yes, I know the political commissar."
"Okay, get busy, I'll go in and take a look."
Inside the restaurant.
Richemont said in surprise: "Director Dong, do you have an invitation?"
The two had just been fighting against each other for a while, and the signs of warming up in their relationship were very obvious. Dong Xuebin was very grateful to Richemont for standing on his side despite the pressure in front of Liu Guowei just now. Naturally, he didn't want him to misunderstand anything, so he explained: "I didn't mean it. The main reason why I didn’t take it out was because I didn’t know. You knew that phone call, right? My wife called and said that Commander Xiong also sent a copy to our family. That’s when I found out.”
Richemont thought that was the case.
Dong Xuebin's lover Xie Huilan is also a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee. Although she seems to have nothing to do with the military, Richemont was a little puzzled by the invitation given to her. impossible.
In fact, among the people invited today, there are basically no government cadres. Most of them are some of Deputy Commander Xiong’s old subordinates and old friends. There are also no central leaders. As soon as everyone came in, someone helped arrange the seats. Deputy Commander Xiong and His relatives haven't come out yet.
The hall was rearranged and very festive.
Richemont chuckled and said, "Shall we also find a place to sit?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "There are so many tables, where are they going?"
Richemont was still self-aware and pointed to a relatively empty table, "Is this one?"
Dong Xuebin took a look and had no objection, "Okay."
This table is the sixth in the order, which is relatively far back. Richemont feels that given his and Dong Xuebin's level, the middle and rear tables are probably about the same. Naturally, it is impossible to do the front, such as the first table. Only Deputy Commander Xiong, his relatives, and some generals could sit. If the second table was filled with senior military officials, Richemont and the others could barely sit at the sixth table. Of course, there is another reason, that is, as soon as Richemont and the others came in, they saw Liu Guowei and Liu Haibin, father and son, sitting at the third table. Liu Guowei had the rank of senior colonel and was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. This was a standard. The deputy director cadres must have You have to sit very far back, and you can't sit on the same row of tables as others. Otherwise, even if they don't yell at others, they won't have the nerve to do so.
This is the case in China, where everyone is very strict about seniority. Sometimes if a seat is not placed correctly, it will be a minor joke, and offending others will not be worth the loss.
When Liu Haibin saw Dong Xuebin and Richemont coming in, his expression changed slightly, and he turned around and said, "Dad, how did they get in?"
Liu Guowei also glanced at table six: "My wife is the deputy mayor, why can't I come in?"
"Didn't you invite me to gather?" Liu Haibin said worriedly, "Why did you let him go?"
"Maybe Commander Xiong has also sent them invitations. Okay, why do you care so much
Don't talk too much here, just be careful! Liu Guowei criticized.
"I got it." Liu Haibin agreed, but he couldn't help but look at Dong Xuebin and the others. He was only twenty-three or four years old, and it was basically because of his father's reputation that he mentioned the county deputy director. To Liu Haibin, he also He is not the age to settle down yet, and he is very vindictive, otherwise he would not have been given a part-time job like the Tourism Bureau. If he really had the talent to be an official, he could at least get the position of deputy director of the Finance Bureau. .
Liu Guowei seemed to attach great importance to today's birthday banquet, so he scolded his son, and then continued to communicate with the officers next to him. Liu Guowei rarely participates in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. That is because the basis for his development is mainly the military. He wants to be promoted and transferred. The municipal party committee and the provincial committee have no say. Most of them depend on the military. For example, Deputy Commander Xiong, like many general officers present, are people who have a lot of influence in the military circles. Some of them even directly supervise Liu Guowei, so he attaches great importance to him and hopes to be promoted before he retires. Move, well, as for Dong Xuebin, Liu Guowei estimates that the city will punish him in a few days. Even if he vents his anger on his son, he doesn't take it to heart at the moment.
