Chapter 16 Dinner
The deputy director was also very busy. The two chatted for a while, and Li Zaihua walked out of the office with his appointment certificate.
Originally, he could get off work now, but he had to go with Zheng Xiqing in the evening, so he could only continue to stay in the prosecutor's office.
Time passes minute by minute.
Due to the dinner party, many prosecutors gave up working overtime today, stopped what they were doing, and drove to Yiwon-dong.
Yiwon-dong is located in Gangnam District. It is a quiet place amidst the bustle. The night under the shade of green pines and cypresses is even more charming.
Therefore, this place also loses a lot of the hustle and bustle caused by prosperity.
Moreover, there is an aristocratic academy in Iewon-dong that many parents in Seoul want to enroll their children in, adhering to the tradition of the peninsula.
Originally, as the host, Li Zaihua had to welcome guests outside the door tonight, but Zheng Xiqing was reluctant to move, so he could only entrust Han Jiangzhi to help.
Han Jiangzhi did not refuse and readily accepted.
This just highlights the unusual relationship between the two and solidifies Li Zaihua's faction.
Li Zaihua would not refuse this, but was very happy.
Quite simply, the next few years belong to Han Jiangzhi's years, and the speed of promotion is also a rare example in the history of the peninsula's judiciary.
Han Jiangzhi is lucky, and Li Zaihua naturally cannot confront him for the time being. If he can't beat him, then joining is the right choice, and then slowly plans to replace him.
Similarly, having a shield can help Li Zaihua block other people's eyes, so why not do it.
----------
19:10pm.
The top floor of the building.
The door to the prosecutor general's office suddenly opened. Li Zaihua, who had been waiting for half an hour, straightened his back and bowed his head slightly to show respect.
Since you want to show off your power, this grievance is nothing at all.
In the novels of the past life, the protagonist who traveled through time or was reborn dared to confront his boss or a strong person head-on when his body shook. This was purely because of a brain problem.
Being able to survive means that in the novel, the author's various bugs prevent the protagonist from dying. In reality, even if the protagonist starts his own business, sometimes he still has to lower his head and pretend to be a grandson for the time being.
Momentary humiliation is nothing, reaching the top in the future is the goal.
As the door opened, Zheng Xiqing looked at Li Zaihua, who was standing there respectfully and without the slightest hint of youthful impatience, and couldn't help but nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"How long have you been here? Why don't you knock on the door and come to the office to sit and wait for me?"
"The Attorney General has a lot to do, and I'm afraid it will disturb your work. Besides, I have just arrived here not long ago. Young people are in good health. Standing for a while is just for exercise."
hehe......
Zheng Xiqing chuckled and pointed his finger at Li Zaihua.
"Little guy, you should have the vigor of a young man and don't imitate the lifelessness of those guys. Next time you come to my office, just knock on the door instead of waiting outside. Besides, I am an old guy who is about to retire, what do I have to do?
.”
Hearing this, Li Zaihua smiled and said nothing, then changed the topic and said: "Prosecutor, it's getting late, let's go down!"
"Okay! But after get off work, don't call me the prosecutor. Call me Uncle Zheng."
Li Zaihua's eyes lit up, he hit the snake with a stick and said: "Uncle Zheng..."
Seeing the shameless look of the little guy in front of him, Zheng Xiqing shook his head secretly.
At the same time, he originally attended the dinner party for Hong Minzhen's sake, but now there were some changes, and he began to take a serious look at Li Zaihua again.
If you want to get along in the officialdom, the first necessary skill is to be "thick-skinned". Those who are not thick-skinned will basically do poorly.
"let's go!"
After saying that, Zheng Xiqing took one step towards the elevator.
Li Zaihua was half a step behind, and when he was about to reach the elevator, he took a few steps ahead and pressed the elevator button first.
---------------
at the same time.
Yiyuandong, Gyeongna Peninsula Restaurant.
In a private room large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, there were two long tables. Nearly fifty prosecutors were sitting on the floor, talking to each other, and it was very lively.
Yes, the original dinner party of more than thirty people was attended by many more people.
These people naturally came for Cui Zhizhong, with the largest number of people from the Criminal Department, followed by the Juvenile Department and the Investigation Department.
More than fifty people were noisy, and even though the table was filled with the peninsula's traditional delicacies, it still couldn't stop the prosecutors from chatting.
The reason is simple: the nature of the prosecutor's job.
Even if everyone works in the same building, it is very difficult to gather so many prosecutors at one time.
We met today, so of course we had to have a good chat and connect with each other.
They didn't feel too much about Li Zaihua's absence, nor did they feel that the other party disrespected them. Han Jiangzhi personally greeted them, so who would dare to be dissatisfied.
19:50pm.
A black car drove into Jingluo Peninsula Restaurant.
At this time, the courtyard was occupied by cars one after another, and no one dared to park in the two parking spaces closest to the restaurant door.
Zheng Xiqing's driver seemed to be used to it, and naturally parked the car in the reserved place.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Zaihua immediately pushed the door open and went to the other side to open the door.
Zheng Xiqing stepped out of the car, nodded to Li Zaihua, and the two of them walked towards the private room.
This time, Zheng Xiqing really led the way. Li Zaihua had never been here before, so he could only follow silently.
After a while, noise reached my ears.
Li Zaihua quickly stepped forward and opened the shoji door. In an instant, all the prosecutors in the private room looked over.
When they saw Zheng Xiqing, shock appeared in their eyes, and then they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Prosecutor General..."
"Prosecutor General..."
"Prosecutor General..."
The words of the prosecutor general were heard all the time. Zheng Xiqing had experienced countless big scenes. He took off his shoes and walked into the private room with a smile on his face.
Cui Zhizhong, Li Minghao, Han Jiangzhi, several heads of the Criminal Department, as well as the heads of the Juvenile Department and the Investigation Department quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Zheng Xiqing nodded, walked to the main seat, looked around like a king, and pressed his hands in the air.
In an instant, dozens of prosecutors in the entire private room fell silent and listened to Zheng Xiqing's speech.
"Everyone, today is Prosecutor Li Zaihua's promotion banquet. I won't take the spotlight. Let's have a drink together to congratulate Prosecutor Li on officially becoming one of us..."
At this time, Li Zaihua thoughtfully handed over the wine glass. Seeing this, the others immediately picked up the wine glasses on the table and raised them high.
"cheers!"
Zheng Xiqing gave the order and drank all the sake in the cup.
Dozens of prosecutors, including Li Zaihua, raised their glasses and drank in an educated manner.
After drinking, Zheng Xiqing put down his wine glass, sat cross-legged on the floor, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please don't be restrained, pretend I don't exist, let's start the dinner party."
The scene was somewhat silent, but Li Zaihua quickly broke the deadlock and stepped forward to pour a glass of wine for Cui Zhizhong, and then poured another glass for himself.
"Thank you, Vice-President, for the compliment. I'll give you a toast!"
Chapter completed!
