There were ten people at the wine table, and the person sitting in the host position was none other than Liu Jinshan.
According to local rules, a wine party must have two positions: host and assistant.
To the right of the host is the guest of honor, who is the most important guest at a banquet. To the left of the host is the deputy guest of honor, who is the second most important guest in the banquet.
The position of hostess cannot be taken by just anyone. It must be filled by someone with high prestige and seniority.
At today's banquet, Liu Jinshan was sitting in the host position, Xu Shaojie, deputy secretary of the County Party Committee's Political and Legal Affairs Committee, was sitting in the guest of honor position, and Li Hongyan, deputy director of the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau, was sitting in the deputy guest of honor position.
In addition, there are Wang Zhigang, deputy captain of the County Bureau’s Criminal Police Brigade, Sun Changzhen, deputy secretary of Chengguan Town, and Director Wei, Director Zhu, Director Peng from other units...
Although Liu Guodong was the guest at this banquet, he could not sit as the hostess because he was not of a high level, so it was most appropriate for Liu Jinshan to sit as the hostess. He was both the director and the deputy mayor.
Xu Shaojie, the deputy secretary of the higher-level unit of the Public Security Bureau of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, is at the rank of deputy director, so he takes the seat of guest of honour.
Although the deputy director of the Political Department has no rank, the Political Department is an important department of the Public Security Bureau, responsible for organizing personnel work, and is the superior leader of the police station, so he sits in the position of deputy guest of honor.
Although the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade has an important position and is at the deputy section level, he can also be the deputy guest of honor. However, Wang Zhigang is very sensible and made deputy director Li Hongyan smile with the words "You are the leader of the bureau."
The deputy secretary of Chengguan Town is also at the deputy section level, but he is not qualified to sit as deputy guest of honor.
This is true no matter where you go, the platform is more important than the level.
Department directors, municipal party committee secretaries and mayors should be polite when meeting the cadre director of the provincial organization department, and drivers should smile and say hello when meeting the provincial party secretary.
This is a sign of respect for their platform and leadership.
As for those directors, at first glance, they are not really directors.
In the county town, director is a catch-all title.
Anyone who has no actual position but works in various agencies and units is generally called director when introduced.
And when they hear others call them director, they are usually very happy, as if they are really the director.
The atmosphere at the wine table was harmonious, and there was no such scene of pretense and slap in the face.
The officialdom in small counties is more about human relations and sophistication.
In such a big place, who doesn’t know who’s who, who doesn’t know who’s who?
Just chatting for a few words can build a relationship with each other.
Then you give me a toast, I'll give you a toast, and after that I'll give you a few more toasts, and then leave each other's phone numbers, shouting that you're my brother and I'm your brother, and promise to treat me to a treat next time.
As for when this next time will be, it is far away.
Who among those who are truly at the leadership level in the officialdom has not ordered the city government?
Who hasn’t clicked on the background behind the scenes?
Doesn’t it matter whose background is behind it?
Therefore, if you pretend to be cool and slap someone in the face, you won't be able to offend others. You will also offend others, and you may even offend some big shots unintentionally.
How could it be as satisfying as stabbing you in the back a few times and making you bleed and pay a price?
Fighting and killing each other face to face is an inferior act.
No matter how disgusted you feel, smiling face to face is the best thing.
You think others are laughing at you, but in fact they are laughing at you, just to see how funny you are after being fucked.
Just like Liu Jinshan, he took great care of Liu Guodong and even recommended him to be the deputy director, making Liu Guodong grateful to him.
At the critical moment, Liu Jinshan tricked Liu Guodong and asked him to take the blame and go to jail, but he himself got away with it.
If Liu Jinshan makes things difficult for Liu Guodong on weekdays and Liu Guodong guards against him in every possible way, it will not be that easy for him to trick Liu Guodong.
Liu Jinshan is such a person. He is both wealthy and knowledgeable.
After Liu Guodong announced his appointment, he invited Liu Jinshan to dinner.
Liu Jinshan asked who was there?
Liu Guodong said that he had not yet decided who to invite, and he needed to call the director to decide.
Liu Jinshan nodded slightly and called these people. The level was not very high, but it could reflect his energy and his concern for Liu Guodong.
No matter how high-level the leader is, he can hire him, but this drinking party is not suitable.
Picking up the wine glass, Liu Jinshan said three sentences:
"Everyone, the first wine today is a wedding wine for our deputy director Guodong. Let us congratulate Guodong on his promotion to deputy director. Our public security team has added a general."
"This second glass of wine is a thank you wine. I would like to thank Secretary Xu and Director Li for their care and concern for our office, me and Guodong over the years. I would like to thank Captain Wang for his guidance and help. Thank you all for your recognition and support of our work. In the future If anything happens, it’s up to you to order.”
"This third glass of wine is the wine to welcome the wind, for this little brother who is about to change his career and come back. We can sit here and drink and talk happily because of your protection day and night. Please allow me to express my respect for the soldiers. Now you are disarmed and returned to the field to join us." Our team, no matter which unit we go to, we are all friends.”
The warm smile and heart-warming words made everyone feel warm in their hearts.
This is the city, this is the world.
No wonder Liu Guodong was taken advantage of by them. If Zhou Anyu hadn't known about it in advance, he might have been moved by Liu Jinshan.
Liu Guodong was moved.
"Thank you all leaders for your concern and love. Everything is in the wine. Please watch my future performance!"
Liu Guodong stood up, filled the cup with 52 degrees in threes and twos, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow..."
“Good drinker!”
Everyone responded with warm applause and gave thumbs up.
Zhou Anyu didn't drink because he had to catch the train, and no one forced him to drink.
Everyone knows that when he returns from another job, he will be assigned a general section officer. If nothing else happens, most of the cadres who have transferred to another job will not have much of a future, and they will basically be section officers until they retire.
Who would have trouble with a nobody?
People in the army have straight and tough tempers. If he refuses to drink, everyone will not be able to get off the stage, but it will be embarrassing.
Seeing that it was still early for the drinking party to end, Zhou Anyu and Su Xiaoyu left early.
After everyone was polite, they entrusted Liu Guodong to come out to see off Zhou Anyu.
"Brother, when you come back, let's get together alone, invite some of our classmates, and then have a nice drink."
Liu Guodong's face turned red after drinking, and he took Zhou Anyu's hand and said.
"In the future, you will also be a leader, and you will be a law enforcement unit. You must remember to follow procedures, enforce the law according to regulations, and don't make low-level mistakes."
Zhou Anyu told him to consider it as advice from a friend.
"Don't worry. I've been a police officer for many years and have handled many cases. I know very well that there are huge variables in how we handle cases. It's different from what you do in the army, where one is one and two is two."
Liu Guodong said drunkenly, but it seemed that he didn't listen at all to what Zhou Anyu just said.
Zhou Anyu looked at Liu Guodong. Now he was very proud and complacent. It was because of the spring breeze that he was so proud and his horse was so weak that it was not suitable to pour cold water on him, and he might not believe it even if he poured cold water on him.
"Okay, you go back, we're leaving first."
After saying goodbye, Zhou Anyu and Su Xiaoyu went to the train station.
Fortunately, it's not that time yet. I can only wait until the critical moment to help him, and don't let him become a scapegoat and step into the abyss.
