Li Yuanlang was a little surprised. Today, when the eight regulations were so strict, the Baizhou Municipal Committee actually held a luncheon with great fanfare after the meeting to entertain Jin Shaodong and his party.

It was grand because all the main leaders of the city's four major teams were present.

There were four or fifty people, and four tables were set up.

The venue is located in the banquet hall of the Baiyuan Garden Hotel in the backyard of the Municipal Party Committee Building.

The predecessor of Baiyuan Garden Hotel was the Municipal Party Committee Guest House.

There is a rockery fountain in the courtyard, shaded by green trees, and colorful flowers.

The appearance of the six-story building is completely modeled after the ancient building.

The jade buildings, carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent and resplendent.

When entering the hotel, you need to pass through a long glass room corridor.

Bathe in the warm sunshine and step on the bright red carpet, which is soft and comfortable.

As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you will find yourself in a different world.

The surrounding corners are filled with flowers, and the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

It is a dazzling array of things to see, colorful and exciting.

Li Yuanlang has not studied flowers, but judging from their appearance, there should be many types of flowers here.

According to Yun Haiyao, deputy general manager of the hotel, there are nearly a hundred kinds of flowers in the Baiyuan Garden Hotel. Otherwise, why would it be called "Hundred Gardens"?

The facial features of this young woman in her thirties are not outstanding when taken alone, but when paired together, they have a unique charm.

Every movement of his hands and feet demonstrates his dignified and virtuous intellectual beauty.

The interior decoration of the entire Baiyuan Garden is mostly simple and elegant, complementing the exterior antique architecture.

Jin Shaodong, a mid-ranking deputy minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, walked into the banquet hall accompanied by Ming Shangbai, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Lu Shide, Deputy Secretary.

Li Yuanlang followed behind him, and beside him was Ji Huatang, secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

Lu Shide and Ji Huatang are both in their forties, and they are not much older than Li Yuanlang.

When they shook hands and got acquainted, Li Yuanlang paid special attention to Deputy Secretary Lu.

A very handsome man, very handsome.

Even though he is over forty, he still has the temperament of a mature man all over his body.

He is about the same height as Li Yuanlang, with a straight back, neither fat nor thin, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which adds extra points to his already high-scoring facial features.

Such a man is definitely a handsome guy in the eyes of women.

On the contrary, Ji Huatang was much worse. He looked ordinary. He shook hands with Li Yuanlang and exchanged greetings. When he was anxious, he couldn't help but stutter.

It’s really strange that the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee Office was there to greet and send people off. How could he have such a problem?

As soon as several people entered the banquet hall, the waiting people who had already been seated stood up and clapped to welcome them, and a welcome song was played in the hall.

On the way to the main table at the front, Jin Shaodong clapped his hands and waved in rhythm with the music.

From time to time, he shook hands with acquaintances on both sides and said hello, with a satisfied smile always on his face.

Jin Shaodong is not only the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but also the director of the Office of the Organization and Establishment Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, at the proper departmental level.

Don't underestimate the Establishment Office, which specifically carries out work for units within the system.

To put it simply, the number of employees and the number of leading cadres a unit has in its internal establishment all need to be determined by the establishment office.

If a new unit is added, a unit is eliminated, or there is a merger between two units, the opinions of the Establishment Office must be sought.

Take a look, does the Establishment Office have enough power?

The Establishment Office mainly plays a role in the establishment process, while the Organization Department is responsible for the selection, appointment, and transfer of cadres.

In fact, the establishment office and the organization department have a coherent relationship.

No wonder Ming Shangbai attaches so much importance to Jin Shaodong.

For the two people who are both at the main hall level, in the eyes of others, Jin Shaodong became the protagonist of today's banquet, and Ming Shangbai was willing to resign himself to the background.

It originally only took one minute to walk to the seats, but because Jin Shaodong greeted everyone, it took three minutes for everyone to reach the main table and sit down one after another.

This round table is very large, with more than ten people sitting there.

The eleven members of the Standing Committee of the Baizhou Municipal Party Committee, except for the absence of Mayor Wang Zhishan, all sat at this table.

Jin Shaodong sat in the main seat, with Ming Shangbai and Lu Shide on his left and right.

As a latecomer, Li Yuanlang should have sat in a very marginal position.

But he is also one of the protagonists, and he is lucky enough to be next to Lu Shide.

The banquet was hosted by Lu Shide and Ming Shangbai delivered a speech.

Jin Shaodong didn't speak, but Li Yuanlang definitely wanted to speak.

In addition to his appearance in the Standing Committee, he will eventually face fights with respectable officials in Baizhou City.

Speaking is no pressure for Li Yuanlang, who was born as a secretary.

He didn't even use a script and spoke without script for five minutes.

Not too long, not too short, just average.

It's just about eating, there's no need to be eloquent, just use your strengths.

Everyone has an empty stomach, who would like you to talk endlessly.

In fact, there are many steps that need to be done by Wang Zhishan in this situation. He is the mayor of the government and also the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Since he was away, Lu Shide had to do it for him.

Although Ming Shangbai was always smiling, there was some displeasure hidden in his smile.

Li Yuanlang is deeply engraved in my memory.

At the same time, he was also quite interested in Mayor Wang, whom he had never met before.

What I drank was a local liquor. I can’t remember the name clearly, but I just thought the taste was similar to Moutai.

No, it should be Moutai.

He understood instantly, it was clear that they were selling dog meat with sheep's heads and Maotai liquor in ordinary bottles.

I guess everyone present knew this and were just pretending to be fools.

Anyway, pour it into your stomach cup after cup. Moutai is delicious and expensive. If you don’t drink it, it’s for nothing. Who doesn’t drink it if it’s for nothing?

As one of today's protagonists, Li Yuanlang cannot afford to drink less.

But he didn't want to leave a bad impression as a drunkard when he first arrived.

So he smiled and pointed the finger at Jin Shaodong to those who came to toast.

"Vice Minister Jin Hailiang, we should toast Vice Minister Jin together."

Naturally, Li Yuanlang cannot forget Secretary Ming Shangbai, the boss of Baizhou City.

He toasted to Ming Shangbai alone, "Secretary Ming, under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and you, I would also like to ask Secretary Ming to support the work of the Political and Legal Committee. I'll drink this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want."

You don’t need to talk too much, just express your thoughts.

Ming Shangbai was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Comrade Li Yuanlang, the Municipal Party Committee will always be the strong backing of you and the Political and Legal Committee. You are a young man and I can't compare. I drink half of it."

Drinking half of it is already giving Li Yuanlang face.

He observed that Ming Shangbai only drank one glass of wine with Jin Shaodong, and after that, he only took a small sip from everyone who came to toast, including members of the Standing Committee and the deputy mayor.

Li Yuanlang's drinking capacity is at the bottom of a pound.

However, today he left some room for drinking.

During this period, he had a small drink with Liang Enyuan, deputy mayor and municipal public security director, Li Hua, president of the Baizhou Intermediate Court, and Di Jiongjiu, chief prosecutor of the municipal procuratorate.

Because he knows that future work depends on the cooperation of the people in charge of these departments.

Liang Enyuan is burly, of medium height, and has a loud voice.

Li Hua is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She drinks drinks.

Lesbians, after all, have to be taken care of.

Di Jiongjiu has a kind of power all over his body, and his expression is neither far nor close, neither warm nor hot.

The banquet lasted for two hours before it ended.

When everyone came, everything was straight.

After leaving, everyone's face was red and smelled of alcohol. If anyone refused to walk, they would support the wall.

After finishing his meal, Jin Shaodong didn't even rest in the hotel. He declined Ming Shangbai's invitation to stay one night, pretended to be full of Moutai, and left Baizhou by car to return to the province.

After shaking hands with Ming Shangbai, Lu Shide and others to say goodbye, Li Yuanlang and Ji Huatang walked into the hotel together.

As soon as he came in, Ji Huatang called Yun Haiyao over and said arrogantly: "Vice President Yun, has Secretary Li's room been tidied up?"

Yun Haiyao replied appropriately, "It's packed and it's on the third floor, room 306."

Li Yuanlang said: "Secretary-General Ji, you don't have to accompany me. I can go up by myself."

Ji Huatang also drank a lot and his tongue was a little stiff, but he no longer stuttered when he spoke.

It seems that wine is also a kind of medicine and can cure diseases.

"Okay, I'll take my leave." Ji Huatang swayed his body and walked out of the hotel door.

Li Yuanlang drank a lot. Although he didn't drink too much, he came to work smelling of alcohol and would leave a bad impression on his subordinates.

There were only two of them left. Yun Haiyao reached out and made a gesture of invitation, "Secretary Li, there is an elevator over there."

"Forget it, I just walked up and treated it as exercise." Li Yuanlang said with a smile.

"I'll accompany you." Yun Haiyao smiled sweetly.
