Although Chu Boyang is not a very elegant person, as a civil servant, he always has to have a decent image. Moreover, he also understands the meaning of the banquet that Zhou Bin took him to this time, so of course he cannot wear it.

Gotta do it casually.

Fortunately, suits and leather shoes were prepared. After Chu Boyang returned home and changed his clothes, he quickly went to Zhou Bin's house without delay.

A black car was parked in front of Zhou Bin's house, and in the car was Zhou Bin's driver, Zhang Qingshan.

When Zhou Bin went out, he saw Chu Boyang, who quickly greeted him: "Secretary Zhou!"

"Xiao Chu, this is the car I just assigned, hurry up and get in!" Zhou Bin finished speaking to Chu Boyang.

The young man Zhang Qingshan didn't say much. He got out of the car and opened the door for Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin. Then he walked back to the cab, got in and started the car.

Looking at Zhang Qingshan's driving route, the restaurant for dinner was not somewhere in the town, nor in the county, but in the urban area.

About two hours later, when I got off the car, I saw that the place to eat turned out to be the Dongsen International Hotel, which is famous throughout Bianhai City. Chu Boyang began to have some inexplicable feelings. He always disliked people who used public funds to eat and drink.

It looks like we are going to join in the fun today.

Chu Boyang was a little curious about who the person meeting this time was, and he actually chose such a good place to eat. He just followed Zhou Bin, led by the waiter, all the way to the luxurious box upstairs.

.

When the box door opened, the first thing that came into view was an imposing middle-aged man who was about forty years old. He was sitting opposite the door. Because it was a round table, according to the rules, this position was the top seat of the entire table. The top seat sat.

Although Chu Boyang didn't know the person sitting there, he didn't dare to neglect him at all.

But looking like that, this middle-aged man seemed even more attentive. As soon as he saw Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin showing up at the door of the box, he stood up immediately, raising his right hand to gesture to them, with a smile on his face: "

Yo! The protagonist of our banquet today is here! Come, everyone welcomes Secretary Zhou!"

Suddenly, the entire box was filled with applause, and of course there were also voices shouting "Congratulations, Secretary Zhou". Zhou Bin immediately started talking and laughing with these people.

Chu Boyang's official position was originally low, and he could only eat this meal after following Zhou Bin. Of course, he could not be as open-minded as Zhou Bin. It was also because of this that few people present noticed his existence. It was just a good time.

At this time, Chu Boyang took a closer look at the faces of the guests at the banquet table.

This banquet table could originally seat ten people, but now only six people are seated. Including Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin, there are only eight people at best.

Naturally, the six people present here are mainly dominated by that middle-aged man. His lower right hand has a special place empty. Immediately after, there are five people sitting in a row. Of those five people sitting, three of them are full of money.

, the other two looked a little lean, but no matter how fat or thin they were, their magnificence was definitely no less impressive than the Chen Wenzheng whom Chu Boyang saw yesterday. Obviously, the people at this table were all very well-connected!

I have been in the officialdom of Changqing County for almost a year, and I can recognize three or four people who are similar in age to Zhou Bin. They are all directors and deputy directors of a certain bureau in the county, but I can't remember the specific names.

At this point, Chu Boyang could finally see why he had to come to the city to have a meal. It turned out that they were officials from Qingquan County, in order to avoid being accused of forming cliques.

But Chu Boyang suddenly felt that he had no place here, and mentally scolded Zhou Bin for not introducing him. At this time, the middle-aged man also realized that Chu Boyang seemed to be really superfluous, so he

Asked Zhou Bin: "Secretary Zhou, this is..."

"Oh, County Magistrate Tian, ​​this guy's name is Chu Boyang. He is now the director of the Agricultural Extension Department in the town. He is very capable. Today I insist on bringing him over to see the world. I hope that Magistrate Tian and other leaders will promote him more.

." Zhou Bin said it politely, but it was indeed the truth. After all, the meeting was for promotion.

However, Zhou Bin's simple words shocked Chu Boyang. He originally thought that the host here today should be at least a city cadre. Now he realized that the person sitting in the main seat was

It turned out to be Tian Zijian, the incoming county magistrate of Qingquan County. Chu Boyang and Tian Zijian had never met before, so it was indeed a bit surprising to see them on this occasion.

That Tian Zijian was also very impressive. When he heard that Chu Boyang was also from Qingquan County, he quickly asked the waiter to add a pair of bowls, chopsticks and a chair, and even asked the waiter to move his position and sit directly next to Zhou Bin. This move made

Chu Boyang felt comfortable.

After Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin also took their seats, Tian Zijian stood up and introduced to everyone, saying: "Everyone here is my friend. The purpose of our small banquet today is to help our Zhou Bin and Secretary Zhou finally

The word 'Dai' in 'Dai Secretary' has been removed! Come! Let's all drink to our Secretary Zhou first!"

As he said that, Tian Zijian had already raised his wine glass, and the other six people present also raised their wine glasses. Only Chu Boyang was slow and dumbfounded. Fortunately, Zhou Bin was next to Chu Boyang and reminded him in time.

This prevented Chu Boyang from committing a crime.

After Tian Zijian drank a glass of wine, he began to greet everyone to eat, and of course he talked while eating.

Chu Boyang took this opportunity and said to Zhou Bin: "Secretary Zhou, did the word 'Dai' on your head get removed when I went to Nansheng City?"

Zhou Bin remained calm, shook his head slightly, and using the action of picking up vegetables, he whispered to Chu Boyang: "I am promoted to County Magistrate Tian. The word 'generation' will be removed from the official document for me tomorrow. Let's celebrate today.

I can’t help but accept this love.”

Chu Boyang understood now and nodded to himself, and Zhou Bin took the opportunity to introduce Chu Boyang: "I will let you see the scene today! Everyone here is my old friend,

Just introduce them to the left of County Magistrate Tian. They are Deputy Director Fang Zhenkun of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau, our Deputy County Magistrates Li Changyou and Li Bingtian, and Director of our County Water Conservancy Bureau Chen Hao. The last one is the one next to you and is the most important to you.

, he is Director Li Dawei of our county Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and our town will rely on him to promote new products!"

Later, Chu Boyang learned that these were officials who entered the officialdom at the same time as Zhou Bin, and indeed they all did better than Zhou Bin.

Zhou Bin's introduction to Chu Boyang really allowed Chu Boyang to get to know a group of officials who had a high status for him. No wonder when he came in, he saw that these people were not much less impressive than Chen Wenzheng, and their official positions were there

, this is the most undoubtedly!

However, Chu Boyang couldn't understand that Zhou Bin was just a town secretary at best. Although Tian Zijian's actions meant that he was trying to win Zhou Bin into his team, they were too fussy.

When he thought of this, Chu Boyang wanted to shake his head, but suddenly he had an idea and turned around to look at Tian Zijian's face carefully!

Tian Zijian's appearance and his situation are a bit strange. He is not destined to be a high-ranking official. At this age, he is probably on the decline, but he did not expect that he will be promoted in the next day. There must be something fishy in this, it is nothing more than

There are people on top of Tian Zijian. But according to his orientation, even if there are people on top, they definitely can't go too far. Tian Zijian is really not suitable to continue on the path of becoming an official!

From this point alone, Chu Boyang knew that in the short term, it was okay to rely on Tian Zijian to find some benefits. In the future, Zhou Bin would definitely have no future if he relied solely on Tian Zijian, so he was mentally prepared.

When you get back to town, tell Zhou Bin these things.

But at this moment, Chu Boyang ignored one thing. He stared at Tian Zijian like this. Of course Tian Zijian felt strange, so he smiled slightly and asked: "This is Xiao Chu, right? I see

You have been looking at me, is..."

Chu Boyang realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly stood up and said to Tian Zijian: "County County Magistrate Tian! I'm here to see you... I see that you are in such good shape. You must be helped by someone noble during this time, right?"

Everyone was suddenly stunned at the same time, and then glanced at Chu Boyang.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Bin's forehead, and he cursed in his heart: I just got promoted, are you trying to trouble me? He quickly apologized to Tian Zijian: "County County Magistrate, Xiao Chu, this kid is just starting out, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers? Let's punish him

...I’ll punish him with three drinks!” Zhou Bin originally wanted to give him one bottle.

As Zhou Bin spoke, he opened a new bottle of Moutai and filled Chu Boyang's cup.

But Tian Zijian suddenly waved his hand and said to Zhou Bin with great interest: "Oh, Secretary Zhou, it turns out that you brought Xiao Chu here for this purpose!" Tian Zijian thought that Zhou Bin brought Chu Boyang to poke fun at him.

Poke yourself behind who is supporting you.

Zhou Bin apologized awkwardly, but before he could say anything, Tian Zijian said again: "Come on, it turns out that Xiao Chu can read faces. Let's see, besides having noble people to help me, what else is going on with me?" Tian Zijian did the same.

For a person with a quick mind, this statement tacitly acknowledges that there is indeed support behind him, and at the same time changes the subject. After all, some things cannot be said clearly. Zhou Bin can understand it later if he can.

Chu Boyang knew that Tian Zijian would not be of much help to him in his future career as an official. After reading this important point, the others would no longer be important. However, fortune telling was a taboo for party members and civil servants. Of course Chu Boyang

Nor would he be stupid enough to admit that he just knew how to do this job.

"County Magistrate Tian, ​​I don't know how to read faces. It's just feudal superstition and stupid things." Chu Boyang thought to himself that today's officials really lack faith in socialism and [***]. "I just read faces."

County Magistrate Tian’s face is glowing red, which must be because he is in a good mood. The main reason is the calmness and self-confidence that County Magistrate Tian shows that comes from his heart. This is obviously a sign of something to rely on in his heart. I have been studying psychological logic recently, and I just spoke.

I'm not thinking carefully, so please forgive me, County Magistrate Tian!"

Chu Boyang reluctantly justified his explanation, and finally made a humorous statement. This calmness he showed despite being surrounded by "senior officials" left a good impression on the directors present. You must know that they had just
Chapter completed!
