After saying these words, Xu Can immediately turned around and prepared to go to the deputy director of the development zone to question him.
Ye Ming knew that he was doing this today purely because Yan Changgeng was causing trouble behind his back, and had little to do with others. He was afraid that the district committee secretary named Xu would catch an innocent person to support Yan Changgeng, so he hurriedly said to Qing Tao: "Qing City Sir, there is no need to hold anyone accountable for this matter. Isn’t it just a meal? It’s the same wherever you eat. I just sat with these chefs, drank some drinks, and talked a little bit. I was very happy. , very interesting, I guess: the comrades in the development zone did it unintentionally, maybe because there were too many leaders here today, and there was no room for them in the box, and my position was the lowest, so they had to arrange for me to sit here. I don’t think it matters.”
Xu Can was originally going to turn around and find someone to teach him a lesson in front of Mayor Qing and Ye Ming. But now when he heard Ye Ming's words, he quickly stopped and looked at Ye Ming with grateful eyes, and then She turned to look at Qing Tao to see what he meant.
Seeing that Ye Ming did not want to pursue the matter, Qing Tao felt relieved. He felt that he was magnanimous, informal, and did not push too far into the limits. He was unreasonable and unforgiving. He was indeed a good young man.
Therefore, he said to Xu Can: "Comrade Xu Can, since Xiaoye said he doesn't mind, forget it. There is no need to pursue anyone's fault. Xiaoye, you come with me and sit in my box. Here There is no wine, so I will go to the private room with you to have a few drinks."
After saying this, he stopped going to the bathroom and took Ye Ming to the first box.
Qing Tao's driver Qi Zhibiao was regretting his indifferent attitude towards Ye Ming. At this moment, seeing his boss being so affectionate to Ye Ming, he felt even more uneasy. So, when Ye Ming was pulled by Qing Tao to the box As he walked out, he quickly took a pack of cigarettes, jumped over, followed Ye Ming and shouted: "Brother, come on, let's have a cigarette first. We didn't have much fun chatting at the table just now. Next time You come to the city hall, and we two brothers can continue talking."
Ye Ming turned around and looked at him inexplicably, thinking that you just had a bad face at the table and didn't say a word to me, but now you said, "We just didn't have a good chat. "Isn't this just telling lies?
However, he quickly realized: Qi Zhibiao was performing for Qing Tao, wanting Qing Tao to know that he and he had become friends.
Thinking about this, he felt a little funny and a little disgusting. However, he knew that villains like Qi Zhibiao who adapt to the wind are everywhere and all the time. If he seriously argued with them, he would spend his whole life. You can only be angry until you die.
Therefore, he did not expose him and took the blue-mouthed Lotus King cigarette that he handed over with a smile, said thank you, ignored him, and followed Qing Tao to the box No. 1.
When Ye Ming and Qing Tao walked into the box hand in hand, all the junior students in the same box were shocked, especially Xiao Jin and Zhang Lingzhi. Before, they had no idea that Ye Ming and Qing Tao were also friends. Now, Seeing him suddenly, Shi Shiran came in behind Qing Tao, and looking at them, they looked very close, with a surprised expression on their faces.
Xiao Jin quickly stood up and said hello: "Director Ye, which box were you sitting in just now? I was just about to go over and offer you a drink."
Ye Ming glanced at Xu Can who was following him and Qing Tao with an embarrassed look on his face, smiled and said: "Director Xiao, I'm sitting next door, and now I'm following Mayor Qing and Secretary Xu to come here to greet all the leaders and seniors. Here comes the toast."
Xu Can was afraid that Ye Ming would say in front of so many classmates that he was arranged to sit with the driver by people in the development zone, which might cause public outrage. Therefore, when Ye Ming answered Xiao Jin, he stared at him nervously , when I heard him say this later, my anxious heart dropped. I looked at Ye Ming gratefully, and I felt a good impression of this magnanimous young man.
Qing Tao knew that Ye Ming had just been wronged, and now he deliberately wanted to give him face. Therefore, after entering the box, he took him straight to the place where he had just been sitting, pointed to Xu Can's seat next to him and said: "Xiaoye, please sit here. Let's have a nice drink first. Comrade Xu Can, you are the master. I want to excuse you. Please ask the waiter to add a stool for you at the door. You can sit over there."
Xu Can quickly agreed: "Okay, okay."
Next, Qing Tao asked the waiter to add a wine glass and a set of bowls and chopsticks to Ye Ming, and filled Ye Ming's wine glass with wine. Then he picked up the glass first and said to Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, come on, I'll go first." Here’s a toast to you. First of all, I congratulate you on entering the Youth Cadre Class of the Provincial Party School, and then I wish you progress in your studies, success in your work, and success in your career.”
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
Ye Ming quickly thanked him, drank more than half of the glass of wine in one go, and then gave Qing Tao another drink in return.
Except for Zhang Lingzhi and Xiao Jin, no one in the box knew the details of Ye Ming. At this moment, they saw that the dignified mayor of the provincial capital city actually took the initiative to toast this young man with a drink, and his demeanor was extremely affectionate. They were all a little surprised and a little confused.
Next, Zhang Lingzhi and Xiao Jin also paid tribute to Ye Ming.
When other students were hesitating whether to offer Ye Ming a glass of wine, the box door was suddenly pushed open by a waiter. She Chuming, the deputy mayor of M city, brought Shi Liming, director of the municipal land and resources bureau, Yan Yi, director of the municipal planning bureau, and Huang Guonan, director of the municipal real estate bureau. Under the guidance of a deputy district chief of Daxing District, they went to Box 1 to toast Mayor Qing and the students of the Youth Cadre Class.
The generals She Chuming brought over were all acquaintances of Ye Ming. Among them, Shi Liming, the director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, had the sharpest eyes. As soon as he entered the box, he saw Ye Ming sitting next to Mayor Qing and tugged at She Chuming's sleeves. , whispered in a surprised tone: "Mayor She, look, Director Ye from the Xinlang County Local Taxation Bureau is also here. It's really wonderful. Don't you always complain that Director Ye never comes to the provincial capital to see you? , look, he is sitting next to Mayor Qing."
Ever since she learned that Ye Ming and her niece Chen Mengqi had officially broken up, She Chuming, who wanted to cross the golden bridge of Ye Ming, has always felt very regretful and regretful. At the same time, she also felt a little disappointed and lost. Therefore, he did I once complained to Shi Liming and other old subordinates, saying that after Ye Ming broke up with Qiqi, he never came to visit him in the provincial capital again, and his relationship with him might gradually become estranged in the future...
Unexpectedly, at the reception banquet today, She Chuming unexpectedly saw Ye Ming, and he happened to be sitting with Mayor Qing Tao, whom he wanted to try his best to curry favor with. He was overjoyed, and his eyes suddenly showed An expression of surprise.
