On the first Friday after work, when he went to work at two o'clock in the afternoon, Director Long came to Zhao Yan's work desk with a smile and said: "Zhao Yan, tonight Secretary Huang and Mayor Qu have arranged a welcome banquet for me.
Congratulations to you new arrivals, come with me then." Such a banquet is a custom for every unit to welcome newcomers. Zhao Yan smiled brightly and said happily: "Okay, please take care of me, Director Long."
At 3:30 in the afternoon, all the leading cadres attending the orientation meeting in the town gathered together, got off work early, and summoned the newcomers to the city, Hainan Yangzhuang. Zhao Yan followed Director Long to the dam in front of the town government and saw a large area of darkness.
People, the leaders are almost all fat and big-eared, and they look like they are officials when they are standing there. Zhao Yan has already seen such occasions, and she doesn’t have the panic that she felt when she debuted. She asked Director Long
After asking who was Secretary Huang or Mayor Qu, he stepped forward openly and said with a smile: "Hello, Secretary Huang, and Mayor Qu. Please give me your guidance in the future."
Secretary Huang and Mayor Qu looked at Zhao Yan at the same time, with a flash of light in their eyes. Secretary Huang nodded and said, "You are Zhao Yan. You are very good. You are welcome to work in our country." Zhao Yan thanked her quickly.
Turning around, she saw Mayor Qiao also in the crowd. She walked over and said with a nice smile: "Hello, Mayor Qiao, thank you for your help."
Mayor Qiao had already learned from Director Ding that Zhao Yan was from County Magistrate Fang. At this moment, seeing that Zhao Yan had no grudge about being drunk on the day of the inspection, most of the worries in his heart were gone, and he said with a smile on his face:
"Ms. Zhao is so polite. You are excellent in your own right."
Everyone was talking about this in the Bazi, and it was lively. Zhao Yan heard from Director Long that there were four people who were admitted to the town government this time, including the social security office, reproductive service station, village officials and college students.
Zhao Yan didn't know the three newcomers yet, and she didn't recognize most of the leading cadres in the town after just a few days. She was standing next to Director Long, waiting for the secretary and mayor to call out. Amid the commotion, Zhao Yan
Yan suddenly spotted a very familiar figure. Her face flashed in the crowd. Zhao Yan was shocked. It couldn't be Lei Li, right?
Zhao Yan stared at her back, and the more he looked at her, the more he looked like her. Then he squeezed past her and turned in front of her to take a look. Oh my God, Zhao Yan exclaimed: "Leili, it's really you! I thought I saw it wrong."
Lei Li looked at Zhao Yan, her eyes widened, and exclaimed: "Oh, Zhao Xuemei, are you working here too?"
Zhao Yan hugged Lei Li in surprise. She didn't expect to meet her old classmate here, and she was very happy. But when she heard Lei Li call her real name, she immediately whispered to Lei Li: "Lei Li
, My name is no longer Zhao Xuemei. That was my childhood name. The name on my household registration book is Zhao Yan. Well, I passed the exam this time. I am in the social security office. How about you?"
Lei Li said "Oh" in surprise and said, "You are at the Social Security Office. Well, I took the city's civil service examination in August and am now assigned to be a village official here."
Zhao Yan said with envy: "Okay, you are awesome. The new one this time is your village official who is the best, but what about the civil servants?"
Lei Li smiled happily and said: "It's all the same. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can turn to civil servants. Hey, didn't you say you were working in the company? Why did you get here again?"
At this time, Secretary Huang and Mayor Qu ordered everyone to set off. Zhao Yan hurriedly said to Lei Li: "I will talk to you slowly when I have time. Lei Li, you are a top student, you must teach me well in the future."
After saying that, Zhao Yan and Lei Li said goodbye and got into their cars. About twenty people from the town got on three cars and drove into the county town.
In Hainan Yangzhuang, Secretary Huang arranged a large private room with two large tables next to each other. Everyone sat tightly in a circle, which was just right. When the food and wine were served, Secretary Huang stood up and raised his glass to everyone. Everyone also crowded around.
Then stood up. Secretary Huang said: "Today, Mayor Qu and I convene a welcome banquet for the four newcomers. First, we welcome you four, and second, we hope that we will unite and work together. Since everyone
We are lucky enough to work together, so we should be like brothers and sisters, working together in the same boat, let’s have a drink together for the first time.”
After everyone had finished their work, Mayor Qu spoke next: "Secretary Huang just made the chief speech, and I would like to express my gratitude. I warmly welcome the arrival of the four new people. Of course, we have new people who will not forget the old ones. Today
The people gathered here are all the elites of our Shuanghe Town. Here, I would like to borrow this glass of welcome wine to say hello to everyone for their hard work. I just asked Secretary Huang for instructions. Let’s hold a banquet tonight. Let’s not be restrained and drink with an open throat. Drink.
Until you get drunk. Come on, do it!"
Everyone shouted "Okay" together and raised their necks to drink. Then, according to the drinking habits of ethnic minorities, everyone started to drink from cup to cup and toasted to the leaders and newcomers. Zhao Yan and the four newcomers, according to
People with high and low positions began to toast to the secretary, mayor, chairman of the National People's Congress and other town leaders in turn. For a while, everyone drank and drank among each other and it was very lively.
After the four newcomers paid their respects, the leaders and cadres began to respond to the newcomers, which made the four newcomers obviously overwhelmed. Among the four newcomers, only one of the university candidates was male, and among them, Zhao Yan was the most beautiful, and Lei Li came from a family.
The best. Therefore, everyone was extremely polite to Lei Li when they were drinking. Some even mentioned her father, Deputy Director Lei Jinzhong, in order to build a relationship with Lei Li. And everyone was even more enthusiastic towards Zhao Yan, not only
Just because she is beautiful, Zhao Yan also heard another meaning from their words, that is, everyone already knew that she was from County Magistrate Fang, and hoped that she could give Shuanghe Town more good words and contribute more to the poor towns.
To make a contribution, his words were official in the town, but his intention was to show his goodwill to County Magistrate Fang. Zhao Yan understood and thought that if this information was spread, it would definitely have a bad influence on the Magistrate Fang. In her heart, she was worried that she might be afraid of Magistrate Fang.
She was very angry, so she pretended not to understand, politely toasted to everyone, and asked the leader for advice.
After the welcome banquet, it was already past eleven o'clock. Everyone was drunk and went home to sleep contentedly.
Lei Li invited Zhao Yan to live with her back, but Zhao Yan declined and took a taxi back to Binjiang Community alone.
