Chapter 1006

The entrance of the restaurant. please remember

Many people watched Dong Xuebin and Li Feng enter. No one expected that they actually had invitations, so why was there such a big fuss just now? As soon as the person left, the guard couldn't hold it in any longer, "Political Commissar Yan! That person's attitude just now was really..."

The officer looked at him and said, "Just say a few words less and don't use your brain. If he didn't have the weight, would he dare to yell at you at Commander Xiong's birthday party? Since he dares to do this, it means he has the confidence to do things a little more flexible and smart next time! If you don't understand, you can come back and ask me. Is that so? And you pull out a gun? How do you want others to see it? Don't you think the movement is not big enough?"

The guard was unconvinced and asked, "What weight does he have?" The Power of Time and Wealth 1006

"What weight do you think he has? Didn't you see him Invitation Number?"

"Number?" The guard was slightly startled, "What number?"

"002!" The officer patted the notebook and sighed, "In other words, when Commander Xiong found someone to get invitations, he was the second one to send them!"

The guard said in shock, "Are the numbers in order?"

"What do you think? You almost offended someone!" The officer threw the notebook to him. "You should see for yourself who No. 001 and No. 003 are."

The guard took it over and took a look, and immediately gasped. Not to mention the first three, the first twenty were among the best in the military. Some of Deputy Commander Xiong's old subordinates could only be ranked in the forties or fifties. There was even a senior colonel who was ranked thirty-three, and the young man who just entered... was actually the second? You must know that this kind of ranking is the most important thing in China, and every ranking is very particular. There is a saying about who is in front and who is behind. So you can know with your feet that if you are invited by Deputy Commander Xiong second, the young man who just entered is definitely not an ordinary person! Who was the leader of City Discipline Inspection Committee just mentioned? I'm afraid it's definitely not that simple!

"But he... I didn't see it.

"The guard said angrily.

In fact, it wasn't just him. If the officer hadn't known that the invitations were arranged in order by number, he wouldn't have realized how big a person Dong Xuebin was. It didn't really look like it. Of course, it could also be that this person claimed to be the person on the invitation and got the information from some channel, but he was pretending. The officer thought it was possible, but he really didn't dare to ask. If it was true, wouldn't he offend someone? The officer would rather believe the person who ranks second in Deputy Commander Xiong's heart than check his or her identity.

"Be more careful in what you say and do in the future." The officer told him, "You should not judge a person by his appearance. It is always right to be smarter."

"Yes, I know the political commissar."

"Well, get busy, I'll go in and take a look."

Inside the restaurant.

Li Feng said in surprise, "Director Dong, do you have an invitation?"

The two of them had been fighting against each other for a while, and there were obvious signs that their relationship was getting better. Dong Xuebin was very grateful to Li Feng for standing on his side despite the pressure just now, in front of Liu Guowei. Naturally, I didn't want him to misunderstand anything, so I explained, "I didn't mean not to take it out. The main reason is that I don't know. Do you know that phone number? My wife called and said that Commander Xiong also sent a copy to our house. I only found out then."

Li Feng thought that was the case.

Dong Xuebin's lover, Xie Huilan, is also a member of the Municipal Committee's Standing Committee. Although he seems to have nothing to do with the military, he gave her an invitation. Li Feng was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Liu Guowei, a member of the Municipal Committee's Standing Committee, was here, so it was not impossible to invite Mayor Xie.

In fact, among the people invited today, there are basically no "government" cadres. Most of them are some of Deputy Commander Xiong's old subordinates and old friends, and there are no central leaders. As soon as everyone comes in, someone will help arrange their seats. Deputy Commander Xiong and his relatives have not come out yet.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1006

The hall was rearranged and very festive.

Li Feng said with a smile, "Shall we also find a place to sit?"

Dong Xuebin nodded, "There are so many tables, where are they going?"

Li Feng is still self-aware and pointed at a relatively empty table, "Is this one?"

Dong Xuebin took a look and had no objection, "Okay."

This table is ranked sixth in order, which is relatively far back. Li Feng feels that based on his and Dong Xuebin's level, the table in the middle and back is probably about the same, so naturally it is impossible to do the front. For example, the first table can only be seated by Deputy Commander Xiong, his relatives and some generals. The second table is also occupied by some senior military officials. According to this, Li Feng and the others can barely sit at the sixth table. Of course there is another reason, that is, as soon as Li Feng and the others came in, they saw the father and son Liu Guowei and Liu Haibin sitting at the third table, Liu Guowei has the rank of senior colonel and is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. This is a standard. The cadres who are deputy chiefs must be placed far back. It is impossible to sit on the same row of tables as others. Otherwise, even if they don't yell at others, they won't have the shame.

This is the case in China, where everyone is very strict about seniority. Sometimes if a seat is not done correctly, it will be easy to make a joke, but the gain will not be worth the loss if it offends others.

Liu Haibin saw Dong Xuebin and Li Feng come in, his face changed slightly, he turned around and said, "Dad, how did they get in?"

Liu Guowei also glanced at the sixth table, "My wife is the deputy mayor, why can't I come in?"

"Isn't there no invitation?" Liu Haibin said worriedly, "Why did you let him go?"

"Maybe Commander Xiong also sent invitations to their home. Okay, why do you care so much? Don't talk too much here and pay attention!" Liu Guowei criticized.

"Got it." Liu Haibin agreed, but couldn't help but look at Dong Xuebin and the others. He was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, and it was basically because of his father's reputation that he was promoted to deputy county director. For Liu Haibin He is not the age to settle down yet, and he is very vindictive, otherwise he would not have been given a part-time department like Tourism Bureau. If he really had the talent to be an official, at least he could get the position of deputy director of the Finance Bureau.

Liu Guowei seemed to attach great importance to today's birthday banquet, so he scolded his son, and then continued to communicate with the officers next to him. Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Liu Guowei rarely participate. That's because the foundation of his development is mainly the military. He wants to be promoted and transferred. The municipal and provincial committees have no say. Most of them depend on the military. For example, Deputy Commander Xiong. For example, many general officers present are people who have a strong voice in the military circles., some are even directly in charge of Liu Guowei, so he attaches great importance to it, and hopes to move forward before he retires. Well, as for Dong Xuebin, Liu Guowei estimates that the city will punish him in a few days. Even if he vents his anger on his son, he doesn't take it to heart so much at the moment.
