Mayor Zhao Mengzhou’s great praise for Shan Meiyuan set the tone for Shan Meiyuan’s dishes. Even if Shan Meiyuan’s dishes were extremely unpalatable, no one dared to contradict Mayor Zhao Mengzhou’s wishes, at least not in person!
This is the majesty of the mayor of a city.
As usual at reception banquets, people still have to drink. Mayor Zhao Mengzhou is naturally the main table. Mayor Zhao Mengzhou has a good drinker and goes to toast one by one with a wine glass. After walking around for a while, I came back with my face flushed from drinking.
Li Yixiang and Chen Shaoping began to toast mayor Zhao Mengzhou. According to Cangyang's rules, Li Yixiang toasted Zhao Mengzhou, which was a one-to-three ratio.
"Mayor Zhao, on behalf of the Cangyang County Government, I would like to express my warm welcome to you for coming to guide the work!" Li Yixiang held the wine glass and touched it lightly with Zhao Mengzhou, drinking three glasses in a row.
Zhao Mengzhou watched Li Yixiang finish three glasses of wine and joked with a smile: "The rules of the Cangyang wine shop are about to spread to the entire Jiangli City wine shop. Yi Xiang, you are the county town surrounding the urban area..."
"Mayor Zhao, I would like to greet you on behalf of the Haicheng Lake Development Office! Welcome Mayor Zhao!" Chen Shaoping said, holding up a glass of wine.
"Shaoping, according to your rank, if you toast Mayor Zhao, the score will be one to six!" Li Yixiang reminded with a smile, but it was not that he meant to embarrass Chen Shaoping, but with his trust and appreciation for Chen Shaoping, more like he meant to let him Chen Shaoping shines!
Zhao Mengzhou and Chen Shaoping looked at each other and smiled: "Chen Shaoping, you have done a good job in the Haicheng Lake Development Office. I am very satisfied and I am very optimistic about you. There is no need for one to six, let's go to one to three!"
"Okay, then I will follow the leader's instructions! Come on, Mayor Zhao, let me toast you!" Chen Shaoping raised his wine glass and touched the bottom of Zhao Mengzhou's wine glass, and then he only drank three glasses.
Although it was just a simple toast, everyone present was surprised.
Mayor Zhao Mengzhou is the head of the city, a department-level cadre, and one of the leaders of the entire Jiangli City with a population of several million.
Zhao Mengzhou could be condescending and magnanimous and asked Chen Shaoping to drink only three glasses of wine, but Chen Shaoping had to ignore the compliment and really only drank three glasses...
However, despite Zhao Mengzhou's polite words, Chen Shaoping actually only drank three drinks.
When this happens, there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Chen Shaoping is just a novice in officialdom, or a complete idiot with zero emotional intelligence...
The second possibility is that Chen Shaoping and Zhao Mengzhou have an extraordinary relationship...
Judging from Zhao Mengzhou's reaction now, it is obviously the second situation!
All the deputy director-level and department-level cadres present here are bright-sighted people, and they can see through the crux of the matter with just a toast.
When everyone looked at Chen Shaoping, they felt more respectful and polite.
The person who was most affected by all this was Deputy Mayor Han Mingye. Through his secretary Luo Qiangbing, he already knew that Luo Gang and his son were arrested and taken to the County Public Security Bureau without any charges.
Han Mingye was very angry about this and said he would personally investigate the matter and communicate face-to-face with County Party Secretary Li Yixiang and County Magistrate Ma Bin if necessary.
After all, in the past three years or so, Luo Gang and his son have visited Han Mingye's home to give gifts during every New Year and holidays, and the value of the gifts given was at least 150,000 yuan.
In China, a humane society, Han Mingye cannot ignore things.
However, judging from the situation at the wine table, Han Mingye's intervention should probably be replaced by a friendly exchange.
Before that, Han Mingye thought that Chen Shaoping was only relying on He Lisheng, chairman of the Municipal People's Congress.
"Chen Shaoping is not a simple person... Mayor Zhao actually expressed his support for him on such an occasion..." Han Mingye was secretly surprised in his heart.
At another table, Liu Zhenhua and Luo Qiangbing sat together. They were still two tables away from the chairman's position at the reception banquet, so they were not aware of the subtle changes in the chairman's position.
"Chief Luo, let's find a place to relax alone later?" Liu Zhenhua said to Luo Qiangbing in the tone of an old friend.
Because County Magistrate Ma Bin has a good relationship with Vice Mayor Han Mingye, Liu Zhenhua and Luo Qiangbing have also become good friends.
At this moment, Luo Qiangbing was still in a very unhappy mood about what happened in the afternoon at the County Public Security Bureau. He was not very interested in Liu Zhenhua's invitation and just replied lightly: "We'll see later, if Mayor Han is drunk. , I can’t leave..."
Liu Zhenhua brought a glass of wine, touched it with Luo Qiangbing, and lowered his voice: "I heard that Chen Shaoping has asked the police to arrest your second uncle and cousin?"
Luo Qiangbing was furious. Hearing what Liu Zhenhua said, he immediately nodded fiercely.
Liu Zhenhua immediately saw Luo Qiangbing's anger and continued: "Chen Shaoping is domineering and arrogant. He doesn't pay attention to anyone except the county party committee secretary..."
Luo Qiangbing stared fiercely at Chen Shaoping, who was toasting Zheng Qiyun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and gritted his teeth.
"I never thought there would be a bandit bully in the cadre system!" Luo Qiangbing drank a glass of wine fiercely.
"Who says it's not?" Liu Zhenhua was deeply moved. He lowered his voice and said almost with Luo Qiang's heads together: "Except for the main project of the Haicheng Lake development project undertaken by the Construction Investment Group, the rest of the projects are Give it to Sichuan Mei Construction Company! This Sichuan Mei Construction Company has two bosses, one is Chen Shaoping’s mistress Zhong Shanmei, and the other is Chen Shaoping’s murderer friend Zhang Sanchuan..."
Luo Qiangbing became even more angry when he heard the word "Zhang Sanchuan" because his cousin Luo Qianglin was severely beaten by Zhang Sanchuan and suffered a concussion.
"Alas..." Luo Qiangbing sighed with emotion: "I have long heard people say in Jiangli City: how bad the political environment in Cangyang is... Because I am also a Cangyang person, I don't think so, but I am still a little resistant. This kind of statement! But now...I can see through it..."
Liu Zhenhua nodded vigorously, with a look of deep approval, picked up a glass of wine, and touched Luo Qiangbing lightly: "If people like Chen Shaoping can be reused... the political environment in Cangyang is not much better..."
Luo Qiangbing nodded vigorously: "I must give Mayor Han a detailed report on these matters..."
"Chief Luo, whether the atmosphere in Cangyang's officialdom can be rectified depends entirely on the attitude of the main leaders of the municipal government..." Liu Zhenhua said with profound meaning.
As he said that, he clinked the wine glasses with Luo Qiangbing again, and then drank a glass of wine generously. It was immediately so spicy that his facial features were dislocated for a second, and then he quickly recovered and cursed in his heart: "It tastes so damn bad..." "
Liu Zhenhua looked up inadvertently and found Zhang Yanqiu looking over here, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
