() Shao Sanhe rarely entertains guests, of course not because he is too stingy, but because he, like Xiang Tianliang, is not used to socializing at the wine table. Xiang Tianliang is a born nuisance, while Shao Sanhe is not sociable.

Therefore, usually only Shao Sanhe invites Xiang Tianliang, and Xiang Tianliang has to go even if he is the busiest.

Shao Sanhe's call was a coincidence. Xiang Tianliang had just left the county party committee compound with Chen Meilan and Yang Biqiao when his call came to Xiang Tianliang's mobile phone.

Xiang Tianliang was stunned, how could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that Shao Sanhe was clairvoyant? Besides, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was a little too late to invite him to dinner.

Besides, the old Shao Sanhe whom Xiang Tianliang mentioned was actually entertaining guests at the Binhai Building, which was too generous.

Chen Meilan and Yang Biqiao were both considerate women and would not hold back Tianliang. They smiled and drove away together without waiting for him to explain.

Binhai Building is located on the same street as the new county party committee compound, only 230 meters away.

Arriving at Box 301 of Binhai Building, Xiang Tianliang was stunned.

Not only was Shao Sanhe alone in the box, but there were also County CPPCC Chairman Zhai Rang, Vice Chairman Xu Xianfeng, County Armed Forces Minister Ma Teng, County Court President Xiang Boliang, County Political and Legal Committee Full-time Deputy Secretary Tong Yizhen, and County Public Security Bureau Political Commissar. Liming and Deputy Director Fang Yunqing.

Except for the County Armed Forces Minister Ma Teng, it can be said that they are all old acquaintances or friends of Xiang Tianliang.

Xiang Tianliang bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "Brother Sanhe, what tricks are you doing? After all, I am also the deputy county magistrate, so you have to invite me at least three hours in advance."

Everyone laughed.

Shao Sanhe pulled Xiang Tianliang to the window, pointed to the county party committee compound in the distance and said, "You see, you can see the county party committee compound from here. My people are on the top floor of Binhai Building, which is the twelfth floor." At one point, you can clearly see the county party committee compound with a long-focus telescope, where I just called you."

Xiang Tianliang said, "This shows that the county party committee compound is difficult to fortify and can be monitored from all directions."

"Yes, we have just carried out the general cleaning you mentioned. The effect has yet to be evaluated."

"Forget it, just do your best to obey fate." He waved to Tianliang, turned around and said with a smile, "But new and old leaders, what song are you singing? Are there any of you who haven't eaten after eight o'clock in the evening? "

Zhai Rang explained with a smile, "We old guys were invited by Director Ma to visit several islands. It was already past seven o'clock when we came back. We were thinking about where to go for a meal when we bumped into Director Shao. Troops, everyone didn't eat, so they just got together. I heard that you just got off work, so I asked Director Shao to bring you here, but we don't dare to invite the two female leaders around you... This is the situation In one case, I guarantee that I didn’t take a bite before you arrived, haha..."

Xiang Tianliang felt relieved. As for Chen Meilan and Yang Biqiao, men could not invite her out for dinner. This was the rule Xiang Tianliang had set for them, unless Xiang Tianliang himself attended.

"Lao Zhai, let's start. My stomach is almost hungry." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile.

But the problem came, how to seat a total of nine people, which puzzled everyone.

Logically speaking, Shao Sanhe is the leader and has the highest position in the party, so he should sit at the top.

But Shao Sanhe has always been modest, not to mention that several old comrades are too senior. In terms of seniority, he even gave up three points to his own political commissar Liming.

In terms of rank, of course the CPPCC Chairman Zhai Rang, who is at the senior level, sits in the chief position, but he does not sit there either. He says that strength comes first, and Xiao Xiang should sit in the chief position.

Xiang Tianliang didn't even dare to do it. In terms of age, he was the nephew of these people. How could he dare to "take advantage of others"?

Tong Yizhen smiled and said: "If you continue like this, you won't even be able to drink a sip of wine. Xiaoxiang, you can make arrangements."

Everyone cheered loudly.

"Then I'm not welcome." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile, "Old Zhai, you are the oldest and most respected. You have served as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and now you are the only one with the right position here. If you don't want to be the chief, then you will have to let me go. The chief position is vacant. The first one on the left is of course brother Mikawa. You have two reasons. The current position in the party here is the largest, and you are the one responsible for paying the bill. If you don’t sit, who will sit? The first one on the right is , I think two people can sit there, one is Lao Xu, and the other is Minister Ma. You two are the old and new ministers of the Armed Forces Ministry. You can decide for yourself. The one who gives in should condescend to sit on the left. Go ahead, you two. In this way, the second person on the right is our Grand Dean Lao Xiang. The next two are, of course, Lao Li and Lao Tong. You two brothers can make up your own mind. As for me, and Together with Fang Bureau, I will escort you all. If you can’t drink, come to me, and if you are drunk, I will take care of you.”

Ma Teng smiled and said, "I think Tianliang's arrangement is very reasonable." By calling Xiang Tianliang by his first name, he regarded Xiang Tianliang as a brother.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm sorry for you." Zhai Rang said with a smile.

"Lao Zhai, as long as you drink a few more drinks, I won't feel wronged."

Amid laughter, everyone sat down one by one.

Zhai Rang took the chief seat, followed by Shao Sanhe, Ma Teng, Liming and Fang Yunqing on the left, Xu Xianfeng, Xiang Boliang, Tong Yizhen and Xiang Tianliang on the right.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone began to toast each other in turns.

Ma Teng is considered a newcomer in this circle. As a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Minister of the County Armed Forces, he has to pay respect to everyone in order to show that he has officially entered this circle.

Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups.

A circle originally refers to a group of people who have the same hobbies, interests, or are connected for a specific purpose.

In fact, many circles are formed naturally through the social behavioral characteristics between people, such as social circles, performing arts circles, hobby circles, etc.

And this kind of circle division is actually a classification of the crowd, that is, a focus model.

The official circle is different from the social circle. It has natural characteristics and functions.

Since ancient times, officialdom has been a unique circle, and it is like a torrent that will clean away everything in a person that does not fit into this circle. Ordinary people cannot understand or explain it, but this Everything in the circle is closely related to the people.

As the ancients said, there are people in the court who like to be officials. If they want to succeed in the real officialdom, they may have to do everything possible to get into a certain circle and seek a protective umbrella.

When a person in the officialdom enters a certain circle and becomes a certain person, it is a sign of ability, ability, appreciation, and a bright future. The food chain in the officialdom not only makes officials form a group, but also plays the role of conveying interests and protecting the umbrella. , and seriously corroded the officialdom.

If you do not enter this circle and do not contribute benefits to this circle, you will always be excluded from the career path, forcing some people to give up their principles and join this circle.

This circle is like a snowball, spreading some unhealthy tendencies in official circles to clean places.

The circle disease of corruption outside the circle and greed within the circle has become a unique phenomenon worthy of vigilance in the officialdom.

In a small circle, although there are few miscellaneous people, there are all kinds of roles. Usually, some party and government officials or state-owned enterprise bosses who hold real power sit in the center of the circle. Official friends with similar interests, big money, and giant businessmen occupy the circle, including secretaries, drivers, finance, etc.

Wait for the service staff to act as counselors on the outer arc of the circle.

Large circles show off and small circles do evil. This kind of circle disease in official circles is more concealed and deceptive. The smaller the small circle of anti-corruption elements, the harder it is to be seen through, which increases the difficulty of countering anti-corruption.

The magic of the circle is that once you enter the circle, you will form a tacit understanding, spare no effort in the affairs of the people in the circle, and respond to requests. Political life is private. Brothers in the circle are easy to do things, private matters are handled publicly, and private matters are turned into public affairs. This is the mutual respect in the circle.

He is a master of tricks when seeking personal gain. Whenever people who enter the circle need to do anything in the circle, they usually have the green light and everything goes smoothly.

Officials rely on merchants to make people rich, and merchants rely on officials to make money. This is the goal achieved by using each other.

In the real society, most people are destined to have others speak for them. Although everyone has the opportunity to speak in the numerous interpersonal circles formed by work and life, the fact is that there will always be some people who are ignored by others.

As a result, society is divided into civilians, Jin

The elites and nobles each established a set of codes of conduct based on their economic conditions, cultural upbringing, and political needs. Under these codes, the circle became a quasi-social unit. Although invisible and silent, it restricted everyone's behavior.

Actions also collide and penetrate each other.

There is no eternal circle, just like there is no unreserved friendship. The circle may expand and contract with the social environment, but everyone is in it and no one can escape.

There is a rule in the circle, that is, you must be like everyone else. It will not work if you are too outrageous, and you will not be able to do it if you are too capable.

The expression of thoughts and emotions is the essence of a circle. A circle is a mutually beneficial activity relationship, but this mutual benefit is built through long-term accumulation and careful construction. It is not as simple as the purchase and sale of goods, nor as rigid as power control, nor as rigid as the control of power.

Come and go at will like a commercial club.

Inside and outside the circle, combined by interpersonal relationships, it is a good channel for social benefits.

Now fellows help fellows, classmates help classmates, comrades help comrades. There are different circles in every unit and at every level. If you can't enter other people's circles, even your great abilities will be in vain.

Around powerful figures, an ecological circle will be formed, and various species will be derived. Once a powerful figure loses power, the ecological circle will no longer exist, and the species that depend on it for survival will degenerate, mutate, migrate, and become extinct.

Every circle can only have one core. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There are no circles with two bosses in the world.

Xiang Tianliang’s circle was established after Xiang Tianliang experienced the turmoil of being “double-regulated” and learned from the pain.

The people having dinner with me tonight, including Ma Teng, are all members of this circle.

The core of this circle is Xiang Tianliang, the person who usually plays the leadership role is Shao Sanhe, and the person who speaks on behalf of the circle is Li Zheng, the political commissar of the County Public Security Bureau.
