Chapter 2291 It’s a party, not a birthday party (Part 1)

When Chen Taizhong arrived at Shuangxi Villa, it was already 5:50. When he was asking the waiter about the private room, he bumped into Arhat again. The two looked at each other and walked in together.

The private room was very large, with two 1.8-meter round tables set up, and there were sofas and wardrobes next to it. Everyone was sitting there chatting in twos and threes. Dong Yuliang was talking sideways to the door when he suddenly saw the two of them.

When he came, he stood up and greeted him.

In the past, Director Dong was not very talkative, and it was rare to see him smile, but today he greeted him with a smile, "Taizhong, Lao Luo... you two are here too? Alas, Xiaohua is not sensible, I

I only found out in the morning that she had done this for me and told me that it was a surprise... Really, it didn't affect your schedule, right?"

"It's affected me," Chen Taizhong nodded solemnly, and then smiled slightly, "Ha, but I will definitely come to the class activities. I have a strong sense of collective honor."

"Okay Yuliang, you don't have to say this in person, right?" He Zhenkui walked up and said with a smile, "I told you, Huahua told us that this is a group activity, and I wish you a birthday by the way."

I have to admit that although Mr. He is tall and thick, his words seem to be vulgar, but if you take a closer look, you can see that this guy's language level is really not low. "You don't need to see anyone to say this" - his tone sounds reckless,

In fact, he was trying to soften the cheeks of Director Dong, and he said it quite secretly.

"Yeah, individuals can't be in front of the group," Dong Yuliang nodded with a smile, still smiling naturally, "anyway, today is a group activity, no one is allowed to leave early."

He was on the right track, and he had the confidence to speak to a group of deputy directors. However, no one felt there was anything wrong. They just felt that talking among classmates was just the way it should be.

"Yu Liang, go and greet them. I'll help you greet these two." Yes, He Zhenkui is becoming more and more invisible, but this is also true. "We sleep together."

At this time, Chen Taizhong was able to take a look at the people in the room. There were about twelve or three people present, divided into several groups and chatting in confusion. Plus three of his own people, almost half of the thirty-two classmates in the class had arrived, and they were heartbroken.

Huahua's face is really quite big.

As for what Dong Yuliang said about being "surprised", it may or may not be true. However, we are all classmates, so why bother so much? Anyway, the atmosphere at the moment is leisurely and warm, and it really feels like a class reunion.

.

The three of them found a place to sit down and started chatting. Not long after, Hua Hua and Bi Ran also came over to say hello. After Chen Taizhong recognized everyone, he asked in a low voice, "Old He, why didn't Tang Dongmin come?"

Since it was under the banner of a class reunion, it was a bit disappointing that the monitor wouldn't come - at least it felt like he was running away.

"He's coming, I've asked him, and it seems I'm not the only one who cares about him," He Zhenkui replied with a smile, but his voice became lower and lower, "Actually, just talking about the three words Yan Yukun, he dares

Won’t you come?”

"What are you afraid of when someone backs Kao Lao Fan?" Luo Han chatted. In fact, talking about this kind of thing in this situation is really a bit embarrassing. However, these three have slept together for three weeks. It cannot be said that they have the same temperament, but every time

Both of us are trying to adapt to the other two, and they do get along a bit, and they are not afraid to say some things.

Speaking of these two, only Chen Taizhong is more stable than Chen Taizhong. However, in the past, they were more willing to express their thoughts when chatting. To be honest, it was still a matter of positioning in the circle.

They both admitted that although they were both deputy chiefs, Taizhong's level was much higher, so...it was right for him to be more reserved, and they should show their stance relatively actively - if they really wanted to make this friend,

Doing this is a must.

While the three people were talking, the door was pushed open again, and Tang Dongmin walked in accompanied by three people, all of whom were classmates. He laughed and said, "I'm late for Mr. Dong's birthday, I'm so sorry...

…It’s actually the weekend, so I recommended two groups of people in a row.”

"Oh, it's a class activity," Dong Yuliang greeted him with a smile, but he was a little tired of the other party's behavior, "You are the class monitor, why don't you come."

"Do you remember that I am the class monitor, but don't you remember that I am your classmate?" Tang Dongmin smiled and looked at him, reaching out to shake the other person's hand. He knew that Director Dong was not a simple person, so he deliberately exaggerated, "Today is...

I pushed our boss Zhang's drink, Director Dong... I am sincere."

Ordinarily, what he said was correct, but Dong Yuliang felt uncomfortable listening to it, because he knew very well that the meal was indeed a show of luxury and was not his original intention.

Of course, the stage has been set up, so it’s okay if he doesn’t admit it. The collective activities of the Youth Cadre Class are indeed a good thing. It’s just a classmate. Who still thinks that his network is too wide?

However, he didn't like to see Tang Dongmin a little bit, and he jumped up and down when choosing the squad leader - okay, you have to fight for this squad leader to have your own needs, but you don't have to show off your banner at the class reunion. If I wanted to run for squad leader at that time, put aside

Don’t tell me that I am the chief officer and you are the deputy chief, but only talk about my relationship with Minister Yan. Will you have any share in that?

The person you hired was Zhang Yong from the local tax department, and the person Zhang Yong hired was Fan Xiaojun. Do you really think you directly hired the executive deputy governor?

On the contrary, people like Chen Taizhong are better than you in what they say and do. They come here just for their classmates. Their background is different, and their performance will definitely be different - they don't need to tell me that they came here from Phoenix.

, that’s right, Chen Taizhong doesn’t care if I accept this favor.

Otherwise speaking, one kind of rice can feed all kinds of people. In the eyes of others, Tang Dongmin's long-sleeved and fawning behavior is a bit annoying to Dong Yuliang. No one in the world can please everyone.

However, Director Dong is also a bit scheming, and with his perspective, he can also understand Squad Leader Tang's behavior. Today is his birthday, so he naturally won't take it too seriously, but he just feels a little bored.

As soon as Tang Dongmin arrived, everyone was basically there. Dong Yuliang said to prepare the table and serve. Another person walked in outside the door. When everyone saw it, it was another member of the class, a person from the Resource Management Division of the Forestry Department.

Wang Debao.

Director Wang is thirty-nine this year. Not only is he rare in the class, but he is also relatively older. Of course, thirty-nine is considered older than the cadres of the young cadre class.

.

Since Wang Debao is so old, he is much more stable in his work. He is also taciturn in the class on weekdays. He rarely socializes with anyone, but when others take the initiative to talk, he will talk to him in a friendly manner.

"Brother Debao is here," Dong Yuliang really didn't expect that Director Wang, who said he might not be able to come, also arrived in time, greeted him warmly, and explained his last resort - Director Wang is no better than others,

This is the real leader of the Resource Management Department.

The next step is to take seats. There are twenty-one students in total. It can be squeezed into two tables, but there is knowledge in how to sit at these two tables.

The seniority of the main table must be higher, and this ranking is also a problem. As for the top of the main table, there are currently two and a half people who are qualified - squad leader Tang Dongmin, birthday boy Dong Yuliang, and the eldest senior Wang Debao counts as half.

However, both Wang Debao and Tang Dongmin resolutely rejected the position, saying that today is a group activity in the class, but...who asked Dong Yuliang to celebrate your birthday again? It won't work if you don't take the first position.

There were two second seats. One of them, Tang Dongmin, half pushed and half sat down on the spot - the squad leader. The other one was asked by Wang Debao to sit down, but Director Wang still refused, "Taizhong, the deputy squad leader, should sit over here."

Chen Taizhong was not here, but when he saw them giving way, he remembered a joke about officialdom. Strictly speaking, it was true - a bunch of cadres with similar ranks were sitting together for a meal, and it took half an hour just to give up their seats.

There may be some feinting of anger, pushing and shoving.

This is not interesting. Chen Taizhong felt that he should not care about it at the moment. Hearing Wang Debao mention his name, he immediately smiled and said, "Ha, I will be at this table. Squad leader Tang will serve your table. I will serve you."

This table serves.”

In fact, he felt a little strange, because this Wang Debao was just an acquaintance with him. It had been three weeks since school started, and the two of them had probably spoken less than ten sentences in total - why was he so polite at this time?

Dong Yuliang was happy when he heard that. Yes, he was happy. Ever since he knew that Huahua had arranged so many birthday appointments for him, he had been nodding. The most troublesome thing for him was this row of seats. China's officialdom

The most important thing is the order. Once the arrangement makes anyone dissatisfied, this good thing may turn into a bad thing.

However, Hua Hua has already done this, and there is nothing he can do to undo it. Now that he is at the top, Tang Dongmin is next to him, and seeing everyone recommending Wang Debao again, he realizes that this matter has changed a bit, and is about to use some means to change it.

Could he be unhappy when he suddenly heard Chen Taizhong speak like this?

It goes without saying that this Chen Taizhong is definitely an outlier in Class 1. He is late for school and can still be the deputy monitor. It goes without saying that everyone mentions this person only in a few words. No one is willing to say more, that is

Very weird.

Therefore, all the students in the first class know that Deputy Squad Leader Chen is not simple, but no one is willing to say why this person is not simple. Although Xiao Chen is low-key, there are always a few people around him, even those from other classes.

All.

Anyway, what everyone can be sure of is that if Chen Taizhong hadn't come when school started, then whether Tang Dongmin could be elected class president would depend on whether Chen was interested in running for class president.

Chen Taizhong was willing to hold the table at that table, which was a great help to Dong Yuliang. Although this move was not without the intention of keeping a distance from Director Dong, it was just a small regret, and the birthday man's positioning for today's banquet was——

It's a group activity for classmates, so he won't mind it.

Chapter 2292 It’s a party, not a birthday party (Part 2)

As soon as Chen Taizhong said these words, more than one person secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, everyone has a headache in arranging seats. Those who are in front are afraid of being hated by others, and those who are not strong enough are worried that their ranking will fall below expectations.

That's really a bit embarrassing.

"Ha, I heard that you can drink, Xiao Chen." Before Dong Yuliang could speak, Wang Debao spoke up. He smiled and walked to another table, "I'll have a few drinks with you today."

When Director Dong saw that the leaders of the two tables were basically even, he felt much more at ease. However, He Zhenkui quit after seeing this. He smiled and said, "Brother Debao, if you want to drink with Taizhong, you have to sit down."

That table, when the time comes, our two tables will have a fight."

Aren't you just afraid that I will steal Chen Taizhong's place in the first place? Wang Debao looked at him with a smile, walked over and sat on the second seat without saying a word, patted the seat at the top, looked at Chen Taizhong, and said, "Deputy squad leader, come on, sit down.

We are here to serve everyone.”

"Brother Debao, are you trying to trick me?" Chen Taizhong smiled and said to himself, regardless of age or rank, if I sit in the first place, what will happen? "I burned my butt by sitting in that seat."

"Do you mean that? Today is a group activity," Wang Debao glared at him dissatisfied, "It's nothing else."

"But...Brother Debao, you are an elder," Chen Taizhong firmly refused. He was not afraid of sitting in that seat, but he always felt that what Director Wang was doing today was a bit strange - you are not so enthusiastic usually.

"Classmates still want to talk about big and small? You are the class monitor," Wang Debao also insisted. In fact, he has shown with actions that he will not sit in the first place, but will sit in the second seat.

"Taizhong, are you lazy and don't want to serve everyone?" Luo Han naturally wanted to help his roommate, so he couldn't help but reach out to push Xiao Chen, "Okay, it's getting late, the ink marks are all classmates..."

While pushing, he did not forget to whisper in the other person's ear, "Lao He almost pushed Wang Debao to let you sit in this seat. You can't fail to see this, right?"

Then let’s take the lead. Mr. Chen is not afraid of getting into trouble. He said to his classmates that I am the deputy squad leader during group activities. This seat... is really my place!

With their efforts, it will be much easier for others to sit in their seats. Both tables emphasize group activities. Students, don't you just sit in the seats?

What is quite interesting is that there are ten people sitting at the main table, but there are eleven people sitting at Chen Taizhong's table. The last person who came over is the deputy director of Subo City Health Bureau.

Next, the banquet was held to celebrate the birthday of the birthday star, which was the proper procedure, and then everyone started chatting nonsense. Someone Chen clearly felt that Wang Debao was a little strange today.

Listen to what questions Director Wang asked - "Why didn't Yang Xiangyang come? Is he busy today?"

Yang Xiangyang is now also a member of Chen's circle, and he is no less generous than the two roommates. In fact, in Chen Taizhong's opinion, Secretary Yang, oh no, it's Director Yang, and Director Yang is more considerate.

It's different if you have a solid relationship with the Gao family. Moreover, the deputy squad leader has already planned to recruit this classmate.
