Very Secretary

   Volume 1 Chapter 63 Celebration Banquet

  At the evening celebration banquet, all members of the four county teams were present, and three tables were opened in total. The county party secretary Pang Yao and the county magistrate Liu Guoxin accompanied Zhao Xuepeng to a table. Lu Jianhongheng's single group was not qualified to participate in a banquet like this, but it was a celebration banquet, and Pang Yao and other county-level leaders all participated in it, pretending to move their mouths, without taking actual actions. Jianhong Heng Shanqun handled it all by himself, so the two of them made an exception and were invited. Not only did they attend the celebration banquet, but they also shared a table with Zhao Xuepeng. Lu Jianhong was flattered to be able to drink at the same table with the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Wu Danqun was so nervous that he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely in the air-conditioned banquet hall. Lu Jianhong kicked him lightly under the table, signaling him to be more natural.

  They were in the Youlan Hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. There were eight people in total, namely Zhao Xuepeng, his Dai Qinghui, Pang Yao, Liu Guoxin, Li Hanwei, Minister of Organization, Cai Zhenhua, Director of Public Security, and Lu Jianhong, Heng Shanqun. Zhao Xuepeng sat in the first seat, Pang Yao and Liu Guoxin sat on the left side, and then sat away one by one. Dai Qinghui and Lu Jianhong were together, and Wu Danqun sat in the bottom seat, with a serious face and a straight body, as if he was not here for dinner , but to the battlefield.

  The atmosphere of the whole banquet was very relaxed. Except for some remarks at the beginning about how the condominium would operate in the future, all the words had nothing to do with work. Lu Jianhong remained reserved, occasionally talking in a low voice with Dai Qinghui, the secretary of the municipal party committee, but Wu Danqun was on pins and needles, his back was soaked.

   After Cai Zhenhua's last county leader finished his toast, Lu Jianhong held the cup in both hands, stood up and said to Zhao Xuepeng, "Secretary Zhao, Xiao Lu respects you."

Zhao Xuepeng waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down. Comrade Xiao Lu did a good job this time. The apartment for the elderly is well built and of high grade. All the elderly in Hongshan County will be grateful to you for remembering you. You are a hero. You should I'm here to honor you."

  Lu Jianhong said modestly: "I just did what I should do according to the requirements of the county party committee and county government leaders. Without guidance and direction, we can't accomplish anything."

  The implication is that all the credit is due to the leader. Although Pang Yao is not specified, everyone can understand.

Zhao Xuepeng was in a high position and had a thorough understanding of the psychology of his subordinates. Seeing that Lu Jianhong was not greedy for merit, he was even more surprised, and said, "It's rare for young people to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor humble nor overbearing." Turning his head to Pang Yao, he said, "Secretary Pang, you have a good vision. Xiao Lu is a good comrade."

  Zhao Xuepeng unabashedly praised Lu Jianhong more than once. Wu Danqun was so envious of him that he made up his mind to hold on to Lu Jianhong's thread.

  Pang Yao smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, Secretary Zhao has always been strict with comrades and rarely praises others. I remember that he has praised him twice today."

  Lu Jianhong knew that Pang Yao wanted to toast Zhao Xuepeng a few more to deepen Zhao's impression of him. In fact, he also wanted to do this, but firstly, he could not steal the limelight from the leader, and secondly, he didn't know what habits and taboos Zhao Xuepeng had at the wine table. You know, it's hard to get someone's approval, but it's easy to offend someone. With Pang Yao's point, Lu Jianhong knew the time had come, and stood up and said, "Secretary Zhao, I'll toast you two more glasses, you can do whatever you want." As he spoke, he drank the wine in his glass.

  Zhao Xuepeng laughed and said: "Secretary Pang, you are engaging in wheel wars, this is not acceptable. How about this, bring Comrades Shanqun with you, and come together."

  The secretary of the municipal party committee kissed him, Wu Danqun blushed with excitement, his hand holding the wine glass trembled, bowed and said, "Secretary Zhao, I respect you."

  Pang Yao said with a smile: "Secretary Xuepeng has an opinion, Guoxin, come, we will kill each other."

  With the presence of a city-level leader, the subordinates dare not make mistakes. Without him speaking, everyone is polite and dare not drink too much.

  The wine was almost drunk, and the four team members in other halls toasted one by one. Zhao Xuepeng just tasted it, and they naturally didn't say anything. Zhao Xuepeng had already given them a lot of face by serving the glass.

  After the breakup, Pang Yao walked beside Zhao Xuepeng and said, "Secretary Zhao, don't leave tonight."

  Zhao Xuepeng shook his head and said, "Oh, there are so many things to do, so I won't wait any longer."

  Pang Yao originally wanted Zhao Xuepeng to stay, and took the opportunity to chat. Seeing Zhao Xuepeng's attitude, he couldn't say much, so he had to say: "I hope that Secretary Zhao will come to guide the work more when he is free."

  Send Zhao Xuepeng to the car, Zhao Xuepeng rolled down the window and said: "There has been a change in that matter, go up when you are not busy, and I will tell you about it."

  Zhao Xuepeng's car drove far away, and everyone dispersed. Wu Danqun stood at the back of the crowd, no one paid attention to him, and was very lonely.

  Lu Jianhong said, "Secretary Pang, are you going home or dorm?"

  Pang Yao glanced at Lu Jianhong: "Go home, Jianhong, walk with me."

  Lu Jianhong looked back at Wu Danqun: "Secretary Wu, you go back first."

  Lu Jianhong asked Zhang Dexing to go back by himself, and walked side by side with Pang Yao, which seemed to be parallel, but in fact, Lu Jianhong delayed a little half a step, not letting himself be in line with him, nor falling too far away.

It was already late, but the night was not peaceful, the road was still very busy with cars coming and going, Lu Jianhong said: "Hongshan has changed a lot in recent years, the roads have become wider, the houses have been raised, and the night is brighter. I remember coming to the county seat when I was a child, eating ashes during the day and falling at night."

   "Take a dip at night?" Pang Yao was puzzled.

  "There is no light at night, and the road is bad, so I accidentally fell." Lu Jianhong said with a smile.

Pang Yao seemed to be a little distracted: "There is an old saying that it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when you are an official. What is being a master for the people? It is to let them eat well, live warmly, earn money, and have a good life Yes. But there are still many people struggling on the poverty line, and we haven’t done enough.”

   "Secretary Pang is concerned about the suffering of the people's livelihood, and the common people still support him very much. Moreover, this is not an urgent matter. The food is eaten bite by bite. I believe the common people understand you."

  Pang Yao smiled and said: "Life is too short, how many things can you do in just a few decades? Jianhong, when you become a leader in the future, you must remember that justice is in the hearts of the people, and you must be the master of the people."

  Lu Jianhong said at the right time, "I'm content to be Secretary Pang's secretary."

"Standard flattery." Pang Yao laughed, "Jianhong, Secretary Xuepeng has a good impression of you. This is a good sign. You must work hard and try to get into his sight. If there is any situation, I will tell you of."

"Thank you, Secretary Pang." Lu Jianhong said sincerely. He wanted to ask how Pang Yao's affairs were going, but no matter how good his personal relationship with Pang Yao was, there was a superior-subordinate relationship after all, so it shouldn't be asked. Regardless of this principle, it must be followed.
