Chapter 1227 Mutual tricks
Everyone invited him to sit at the first place. Deputy Director Zhong Mingyan sat on Zhang Song's left hand. Zhang Song asked Xu Chunliang to sit on his right. After sitting down, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be restrained or have any scruples. This meal tonight I paid for it out of my own pocket, and it was just for a gathering without any political purpose.”
Everyone laughed, and Zhong Mingyan said: "Thank you, Secretary Zhang."
Zhang Shunda asked people to bring the wine in. Everyone noticed that the one used tonight was Feitian Moutai. Zhang Song was stunned for a moment. He did not bring this box of wine. At the beginning of taking office, excessive ostentation was a taboo.
Zhang Shunda explained: "The wine was just sponsored by Director Xu."
Zhang Song glanced at Xu Chunliang and said angrily: "Xiao Xu, I'm treating you, how can I let you get the wine?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You treat me to a meal and I will treat you to a drink. What does our relationship have to do with each other? Don't be polite to me."
Everyone at the scene looked at Zhang Song. Xu Chunliang was able to take action. A box of Moutai was brought up so blatantly. It may have been nothing in the past, but now is a sensitive period after all. If this kind of thing spreads out, it may become news again. , of course, this also sends a clear signal that the two people should have a good personal relationship.
If Zhang Song insists on not using it, it will be equivalent to openly rejecting Xu Chunliang's kindness. It is reasonable for the new official to set a good example when he takes office. If Zhang Song uses it, it means that his relationship with Xu Chunliang is very unusual, and the leader does not accept gifts from everyone. Especially in such public occasions, it has always been this way to be soft-spoken.
He discovered that Xu Chunliang was very clever, so he dragged him into the game and directly used scheming to trick him.
Zhang Song nodded and said: "Since you are so kind, let's have a taste."
Xu Chunliang took the initiative to help open and pour the wine. When pouring the wine for Zhang Song, Zhang Song looked at him with a smile and said, "Xiao Xu and I used to drink together often."
Everyone understood the message he wanted to convey, emphasizing that his relationship with Xu Chunliang was extraordinary.
Zhang Shunda said: "Director Xu has a good drinking capacity."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Zhang Yuan, don't praise me. We are both about the same amount of drinkers, but I am better because I am young."
Geng Qingsong laughed but didn't say anything. Qin Yujiao was his sister-in-law. Something happened to his sister-in-law in the past two days, and his wife Qin Yuting reminded him that he must keep his tail between his legs. This was the reason why he didn't plan to come at first, but then he got news that Zhang Song was officially appointed as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He suddenly panicked and thought for a moment. It was better to be late than never, so he hurried over.
In fact, most of the people invited were the same as Geng Qingsong. In the past, they believed that Zhang Song was exiled and marginalized, and the city had already made it clear that Jiang Qiyong was in charge of the work, and Zhang Song, the secretary, was the deaf ear - a decoration. No one expected that this guy would be reactivated.
Yang Wenjing, the head of the cemetery management office, said: "Secretary Zhang, Director Xu, you are too polite. In fact, I have wanted to invite Secretary Zhang to dinner for a long time. There are many things at home recently and I haven't found a suitable time. In this way, next week I Come as a host to support Secretary Zhang."
Zhang Song said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who invites you, but I have been really busy recently. The affairs in the bureau are enough for me. Xiao Xu invited me several times, but I couldn't spare the time." This sentence once again shows that It shows the different relationship between him and Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that Zhang Song had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He was now openly getting close to him, and his intention was obviously to let everyone know that they had a good relationship. Although Zhang Song had gotten an opportunity, he He is not favored by the current leadership of Dongzhou, and the space for development in the long run is still limited.
Although Xu Chunliang didn't know the real reason for Zhang Song's rise to power, one thing he could conclude was that there would be a lot of disputes between Zhang Song and Jiang Qiyong. With Jiang Qiyong's self-esteem character, he would have to fight with Zhang Song. .
Zhang Song’s full-time position is not easy to do, after all, Jiang Qiyong’s background is there.
Xu Chunliang didn't care at all what Zhang Song wanted to do. I wouldn't offend others unless they offend me. Zhang Song shouldn't dare to harm himself, but it's not that easy for him to take advantage of him.
After three glasses of wine, everyone toasted to Zhang Song one by one. Zhang Song was amiable and approachable.
When Zhang Song and Geng Qingsong were drinking, they asked about the handover situation at the old crematorium. Geng Qingsong reported the actual situation. The new funeral parlor has been opened, but there are still some things in the old crematorium that have not been moved out. It is estimated that it will take another ten days to completely clear the area.
Zhang Song said in a solemn tone: "The city is keeping a close eye on this matter. Little Geng, you must pay close attention to this matter. I can't help you carry it all the time."
Geng Qingsong nodded and thanked him when he heard this, but secretly cursed in his heart, when did you help me carry it? What do you mean? If the city finds out that I am solely responsible, is there anything wrong with you as a leader? But then he thought about it, Zhang Song had just been confirmed as the leader of the bureau, and the previous incidents were not his fault.
At this time, the hand-caught mutton prepared specially by Zhang Shunda was served. Zhang Shunda said: "This is the Jie mutton that my friend specially sent from Qilian. The meat is delicious. Let's try it."
Deputy Director Zhong Mingyan couldn't help but ask: "What breed is the Jie sheep?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Zhang Ju, you will give me problems."
Several people laughed at the same time. Zhong Mingyan realized from their laughter that they had nothing good to say, so she asked Du Niang quietly, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It turned out to be a castrated ram, a **** sheep! This Zhang Shunda is really hateful. It’s not like there aren’t any lesbians here who made this prank. In fact, most of the people didn’t think so much about it. They all praised the delicious and tender Jie Yang.
Zhang Song is obviously using this opportunity to establish his approachable persona. Unfortunately, most of the people present are not at ease in their hearts and are as cautious as possible in their words and deeds. The food was carefully prepared by Zhang Shunda, and the wine was Feitian Moutai provided by Xu Chunliang, but most of the people Not even in the mood to feast and drink.
The dinner lasted for two hours. Zhang Song asked Xu Chunliang not to leave. He had a few words to say to Xu Chunliang alone.
After everyone else left, Zhang Shunda arranged for the two of them to the reception room of the guest house. Tea and fresh fruits were prepared, and he closed the door for them when leaving.
Xu Chunliang picked up a piece of cantaloupe and ate it.
Zhang Song picked up a cup of tea, sipped the tea leisurely, and said slowly: "Jiang Qiyong is not here."
Xu Chunliang said: "I informed him, and he said he had plans for the evening."
Zhang Song smiled and said: "I don't force it, but my appointment will definitely make him have some negative emotions."
Xu Chunliang glanced at Zhang Song, and they both laughed at the same time.
Zhang Songdao: "Xiao Xu, you should know that I don't want to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau. There have been so many things happening here recently and it's a mess. No one wants to clean it up. Don't you think so?"
Xu Chunliang took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands: "Okay, the problems have basically been exposed, and the people who should deal with them have also been dealt with. The organization has helped you clear the obstacles. From this point of view, You will also be able to do your job more smoothly.”
Zhang Song smiled and said, "I feel a lot less stressed when you say that. You will have to help me more in the future."
Xu Chunliang said: "Zhang Ju, if I were you I would be more cautious."
Zhang Song frowned: "How do you say this?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I just came back from Beijing this morning. As soon as I left the high-speed rail station, I was stopped by the disciplinary inspectors. They asked me to cooperate with the investigation."
Zhang Songdao: "What are you looking for to investigate?"
"What else can we investigate? Qin Yujiao bites people like a mad dog. She said that I have photos and videos of her and Lao Wang in my hands, and that I used those black materials to blackmail them for personal gain."
Zhang Song's mood became a little heavy. With Xu Chunliang's style of doing things, he might not do such a thing. If this guy is really suspected of violating discipline, it is indeed not a good thing for him to get too close to him at this time. But then I thought about it, Xu Chunliang must have no big problem, otherwise the disciplinary inspection authorities would not have released him so quickly.
Zhang Song laughed: "If others can't trust you, I can't trust you. I absolutely believe that your party spirit and principles can withstand the test."
Xu Chunliang also smiled: "There are no absolutes in the world." He moved closer to Zhang Song and lowered his voice: "I do have some materials, and I have also threatened Lao Wang."
Zhang Song looked at Xu Chunliang for a while, then laughed again: "You still lack vigilance. When encountering such a thing, you should first hand over the materials to the disciplinary inspection department."
Xu Chunliang said: "I didn't know that their affairs would be exposed so soon. Moreover, I think this little thing between them is just a matter of style. It's also my fault that I have good intentions and thought that I should give them a chance to correct their mistakes."
Zhang Songdao: "I've neglected you. We have always had zero tolerance for cadres' disciplinary violations. Xiao Xu, have you confessed all these things?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Of course I can't admit it. So far I have only told you, Zhang Ju, you won't kill your relatives out of justice, right?"
Zhang Song secretly scolded this guy for being cunning. He was playing a trick on himself. He deliberately exposed a flaw to himself. The purpose was to test his reaction. Zhang Song said, "I never betray my friends." He also made a pun, if you treat me as a friend, I won't betray you, but if you don't treat me as a friend, I won't be able to protect you from what I will do.
Xu Chunliang said: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't tell you this."
Zhang Songxin said thank you, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "What did you just say?" It means I didn't hear anything, so don't trick me.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'm just kidding you."
