Chapter 72: At the Hongmen Banquet

() The waiter politely knocked on the door at the door. Yue Leiting quickly stood up nervously. The three people who pushed the door in casually dressed, and the smile on their faces were relaxed and natural.

Yue Leiting stretched out his hand from a distance, and Huo Qian introduced it next to him.

The person walking in the front was not tall, with few hairs on his head, but the red face was full of momentum and his every move was quite imposing. This person was named Fan Liang, and Huo Qian called District Mayor Fan. He heard that this title is not low.

The second person is Luo Deyi. He wears glasses and looks very deep. At first glance, he is the kind of cautious person who is used to holding his hands behind him. It seems that his clothes are usually very majestic. Huo Qian introduced him to be Director Luo.

Zhao Yuanqiao, known as Mayor Zhao, walked at the end. He should have a Northeastern accent. He was very tall and even spoke loudly, and of course he was not small.

If you can invite the district mayor, the director and a mayor, and no one has the sub-word, they are all the regulars. Although Yue Leiting has seen people in the market, he was at a loss when dealing with senior officials in the officialdom for the first time. He talked hesitantly and sweated constantly on his head.

Chu Tianci's eyes did not fall on these three people, and there were a total of four people coming in!

There was another person following the back, with his steps so light that no one noticed him when he walked behind the tall Zhao Yuanqiao. He saw him only when Zhao Yuanqiao walked into the house.

He should be younger than the other three. He was dressed cleanly and appropriately, and his steps were calm and sophisticated. The three of them who came in just now were all veterans in the officialdom. They must have some points of official power when they could get to this position. However, when the fourth person behind walked into the house, Chu Tianci clearly felt that his aura completely easily overwhelmed the other three.

"This...this person?" Yue Leiting remembered that Huo Qian told him that he only invited three people and asked with a smile on his face.

"This is my secretary, his name is Qin Weijie, and they are all his own people." Zhao Yuanqiao said lightly.

Yue Leiting quickly greeted others to the table, especially after hearing Zhao Yuanqiao's words, he felt much more relaxed.

Faced with the food they had already ordered, they seemed to have become accustomed to, and there was no unnecessary expression on their faces.

"Mr. Yue is too polite. He said he would gather casually and insisted on arranging to such a high-end place. We are disciplined. You are simply making us make mistakes when we eat and drink like this." Fan Liang said with a smile as soon as he sat down.

Yue Leiting has a registered company outside. Nowadays, he talks about his style and can't be said to be the boss of a gangster when he comes out to introduce him to others. Therefore, Yue Leiting hopes that others will call him General Manager Yue.

"It's common, it's common, District Mayor Fan said it's serious. I can bring this place to sit here with me. Yue Leiting has the honor of being lucky to be full of glory in my three lives." Yue Leiting picked up the wine glass and stood up and said with a smile. "The first time we met, there is a place where the courtesy is not good, I hope you can forgive me. I wish all the leaders a success in their promotion and success in the first glass of wine."

As soon as Yue Leiting said this, no one raised his glass and smiled thoughtfully.

Chu Tianci saw Yue Leiting standing awkwardly, and quickly raised his glass and said calmly.

"Dear leaders, Mr. Yue means the first glass of wine, thank you for your busy schedule to guide the work. In the future, I hope that all leaders will correct and criticize our work."

There are taboos in the officialdom, Yue Leiting doesn’t understand, and Chu Tianci doesn’t understand. Fortunately, he reads a lot of books. Although they are all ancient books, they have only been around for five thousand years, and those things in the officialdom have hardly changed much.

"Isn't the criticism too much? On the basis of abiding by laws and regulations and not violating policies and regulations, we still hope that private enterprises will develop." Luo Deyi seemed very satisfied with Chu Tianci's statement and nodded and raised his wine glass. "We borrowed flowers to offer this glass of wine to the Buddha, and wish General Yue a prosperous business. Of course, we will not evade taxes and contribute to the prosperity of the country's economic prosperity."

Yue Leiting kept nodding. After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the room slowly eased. Without the initial restraint and embarrassment, Yue Leiting was originally a person in love, and his voice became louder.

Huo Qian slowly put the things he had prepared long ago at Yue Lei Ting's feet.

Yue Leiting picked up a gift box with a gift, stood up respectfully and delivered it to Luo Deyi.

"Dear leaders, I am in the antique business. I didn't prepare any gifts for the first time when I met. I didn't respect me a little. I hope Director Luo will not dislike him."

The gift box opened is a square glass box. Inside the glass is a golden statue of the three zodiac signs of ox, rat and horse. It weighs a pound of gold, and it takes one pound of gold at a time. Yue Leiting believes that he will not be embarrassed no matter where he puts this gift.

"Mr. Yue, what do you mean?" Zhao Yuanqiao looked at the other two people, put down his chopsticks and asked seriously.

"A country of etiquette, since you have given me Yue Leiting face this way, you are here to take your time to show your face. What's my little intention? Don't think too much about it. They are all decorations made according to your zodiac signs. If you don't have much money, they are all handicrafts." Yue Leiting said with a smile on his face.

"The pure gold zodiac portrait, it looks like this is a pound. A pound of gold is not worth much in the mouth of President Yue, haha." Fan Liang picked up the statue in front of him and weighed it for a few words and said with unsatisfactory words. "Mr. Yue is really generous, but if you give such valuable things to a national civil servant, not only will we make mistakes, but you are also bribing. This crime is quite a big deal."

Yue Leiting was speechless for a moment. Unexpectedly, Fan Liang would say this. The things were already on the table. The three senior officials in front of him could hear clearly. If they really bit back and said that they had bribed him, even if they had ten mouths, they could not explain it clearly. Yue Leiting stood there in a daze for a long time and couldn't speak.

"Mr. Yue is hospitality and values ​​friendship. He is a guest in his heart. Today, the leaders can come here as a friend. Mr. Yue values ​​friends the most. How can gifts from friends be considered bribery?" Chu Tianci stood up with a smile on his face and said.

Zhao Yuanqiao looked at Chu Tianci, and he helped Yue Leiting to rescue the situation twice, and said with a meaningful smile.

"This young man is really good at speaking, he is not surprised and sophisticated in the face of changes. He is a good material for doing business. With such talents around him, it is difficult not to get rich."

"Since Mr. Yue talks about the country of etiquette, you have given us such a heavy gift, so it is not polite to come but not to go. I don't know, haha, I don't know what gifts Mr. Yue wants us to send?" Luo Deyi slowly raised his head and asked with a faint smile.

Yue Leiting said with a bold and angrily waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's impolite to come but not to be polite. If you want to give me a gift, you just treat me Yue Leiting as a friend. Since I give me this face, I have to take care of it. Today I asked for a piece of Wuliangye. Each leader will have a bottle. After drinking it, you will treat it as a gift!"

Yue Leiting has been in the road for a long time and is originally a person in love. When he heard Luo Deyi ask for a gift, he opened three bottles of Wuliangye and sent it to them without saying a word. It seemed that he had completely forgotten that the person sitting opposite him was a high-ranking official. He usually had people who were polite and even if he drank, he had to be polite. There was no such thing as him who persuaded him to drink.

Zhao Yuanqiao looked at Wuliangye in front of him, looked at the other two people, suddenly burst into laughter, and said while taking off his clothes.

"I just said today is the Hongmen Banquet. You don't believe it. Judging from this attitude, the three of us will never be put down. Today, I will be thought of out of this door. OK! Today we will sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman and leave after drinking!"

The atmosphere eased in Zhao Yuanqiao's generous words. Huo Qian poured wine for them next to him. Yue Leiting suddenly looked at Qin Weijie who had been silent and said apologetically.

"Secretary Qin, look... hey! I'm not doing it well. I thought that only three leaders were coming, so I prepared three gifts. Unexpectedly, Secretary Qin would come too, I... here..."

The smile on Qin Weijie's face was very humble, almost the same as when Huo Qian smiled, but there was something in Qin Weijie's smile that Chu Tianci couldn't understand at all, as if his eyes were so deep that it could not be fully touched.

"Your Majesty is polite. I temporarily notified you to accompany the three leaders, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Stop saying anything, it's because I'm Yue Leiting is not very good at treating this wine today." Yue Leiting opened a bottle of Wuliangye and sent it to Qin Weijie. "I'm Yue Leiting owed things first, so I will definitely send them to you in person."

"You are polite to Mr. Yue, I'm honored to do it first!" Qin Weijie raised his glass and drank it all without any delay.

"Today you must try this black pepper duck tongue. The signature dish here tastes mellow and sweet, it is a good dish with wine. I also specially prepared Wuliangye." Yue Leiting stood up and poured wine for others and said with a smile.

"Duck tongue with Wuliangye... is a perfect match! Mr. Yue seems to be a person who knows this well. Today we have a good taste." Fan Liang said in admiration.

Chu Tianci's eyes seemed to have never left Qin Weijie. Compared with the other three, Qin Weijie always felt indescribable in every move. Although he didn't talk much in the corner alone, there was something strange that made Chu Tianci very curious.

As long as Qin Weijie raises his glass, the other three people will definitely raise his glass. Qin Weijie doesn't move any dish on the table, so the other three people will never move. Even when they entered the house just now, the order of sitting in the smallest seemed to be arranged by Jing. The other three people sat down after seeing Qin Weijie sit down.

By title, Qin Weijie is just a secretary, and his official position is much different from that of the other three. In the strict officialdom, Qin Weijie cannot not know these details, let alone he is just a secretary, either Qin Weijie does not understand the rules, but a secretary who does not understand the rules will never appear in such occasions.
