h sweet types, and was very happy. He immediately opened the beer and started to eat and drink. After three rounds of wine, he even hugged the beauties' waists and drank a toast with them. 。These two...But Jin Jianqiang was also very clear that Yao Bixian's arrogance was well-founded. 。The reason is also very simple and straightforward: he has connections, and they are very powerful. 。In comparison, the relationship between them is rather mediocre. Otherwise, he wouldn't be having such a hard time as the county magistrate. 。Jin Jianqiang was very clear about this. 。If he makes trouble with Yao Baixiang and it leads to Tan Sìmíng, the secretary-general, taking action and using his resources at the provincial level, then Jīn Jiānqiáng, as county magistrate, might really be out of a job. 。This is no joke, Jin Jianqiang also has elderly parents and children. Since he became the county magistrate, his family's life has become more comfortable. Everyone expects him to climb higher and bring more honor and benefits to his family. 。If he were to make a fuss over a grassroots official and clash with Yao Baixiang, causing the provincial leaders to feel resentful toward him, not only would his career suffer greatly, but most importantly, his family probably wouldn't be able to accept it. 。Jin Jianqiang thus softened his tone: "Minister Yao, it's not that serious. " 。To promote a deputy department-level official, all reports go to Secretary Tan. Wouldn't Secretary Tan be swamped!

Yao Beixiang also laughed and said, "County Mayor Jin, you're right! A deputy department-level official is nothing! Is it worth my Uncle Tan's time To be honest, County Mayor Jin, pleading for those in Tianhuang Town, it's not worth it! The times have changed! The former provincial Party Secretary wanted to develop ecology, but now that the new Party Secretary has taken over, he might not even support 'Beautiful Rural Construction'! So, whether or not they promote their officials really needs to be reconsidered. " 。Dear County Mayor Jin, no matter what, the fact that my Uncle Tan has reached the Provincial Committee is a happy event. Today, I want to invite our team leaders to have a meal together and celebrate this occasion. 。“Could it be that Secretary Tan is coming to An County today” Jin Jianqiang asked. Yao Beixiang shook his head and said, “My Uncle Tan is so busy these days, he’s been accompanying the new secretary on various research trips.” 。But, I will report to Uncle Tan which leaders came to dinner tonight. 。"County Head Jin, can you come this evening"

"Could I not come" Yao Beixiang made it clear that today was to celebrate Tan Siming and said he would report to Tan Siming. If he knew the county head hadn't gone, he would definitely remember it. 。Jin Jianqiang dared not offend a leader like Tan Siming, so he could only say: "Since this is a celebration for Secretary Tan, I definitely have to attend." 。"Yao Baixiang laughed heartily and said, "County Head Jin is still very politically astute! Then I'll see you in the evening." 。Jin Jianqiang walked out of Yao Beixiang's office, feeling both angry and helpless. 。It's infuriating that Yao Beixiang didn't give me any face and completely rejected the suggestion of promoting Tao Fang; what can I do, though Yao Beixiang has such powerful connections behind him, all Jin Jianqiang could do was swallow his anger. 。After Jin Jianqiang left, Yao Bixian asked Ma Huamin from the office to invite members of the four-set team for a dinner that evening to celebrate Tan Siming's new appointment as secretary of the provincial committee. 。Ma Huamin softly asked: "Minister Yao, should we not invite Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei" Yao Baxian chuckled playfully. "Invite them! Why not Little Ma, we must be magnanimous in our actions! Since we invited all four groups of members to celebrate my uncle's victory, how could we leave out these two people Don't you think it's more profound, more sophisticated, and more meaningful to have your opponents and enemies celebrate your victory" Ma Huamin immediately bowed and said: "Yes, Minister Yao is right." 。"Yao Bixiong was in high spirits, waving his hand and saying, "Go ahead! " 。"Yao Bixiong has already made up his mind. Tonight, as long as Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei come, he is going to humiliate them thoroughly." 。That day, all members of the An County Party Committee received a call from Yao Baixiang, inviting them to a banquet at the An County International Hotel in the evening. Some members had other appointments that night and wanted to take leave. 。When they heard that tonight was a celebration for Tan Siming's appointment as the provincial Party Secretary, they all dared not take leave. They canceled their original appointments and came to Yao Baxian's banquet. 。

Xiao Zheng also received an invitation 。Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei have already made a reservation to have dinner with Li Xiaoping. 。Even without a dinner date with Li Xiaoting, Xiao Zheng wouldn't attend Yao Beixiang's dinner. 。Xiao Zheng said to Ma Huamin, the office director of Yao Baixiang: "Ma Director, I'm sorry! Firstly, thank you for the invitation. Secondly, I have something to do tonight and won't be able to attend in the evening." 。"Mr. Xiao, you probably don't know something," 。Today, the provincial standing committee passed the decision that Tan Siming would serve as the secretary-general of the provincial committee. 。Our Party Secretary Yao arranged this dinner to celebrate this event. All four other departmental teams are attending, so please be sure to join us, County Magistrate Xiao. 。。Tan Siming and Yao Baxian's relationship is extraordinary. Tan Siming serves as the secretary-general, while Yao Baxian is the direct beneficiary. No wonder Yao Baxian invited him to attend a banquet. 。This is clearly a Hongmen banquet!

Should I go or not If I don't go, not only will I offend Yao Baixiang, but also Tan Siming. 。Ma Huamin heard Xiao Zheng's silence on the other end of the phone. He guessed that Xiao Zheng would, like other leaders with arrangements, start declining, but in the end he would still succumb to the invisible pressure and agree to go. Ma Huamin then said: "County Mayor Xiao, I'll send you the address now." 。However, Xiao Zheng said: "There's no need" 。I'm sorry, Xiao Ma. I do have something to attend to this evening. 。So I won't participate. Please tell Minister Yao that for me, alright 。After that, Xiao Zheng hung up the phone. 。Just in that instant, Xiao Zheng had figured out a truth. 。Missing this dinner party will definitely offend Yao Bixian and Tan Siming. 。Didn't you already offend them

Xiao Zheng did hear people say that in the political arena, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. 。Even though he might gain something from it, he still felt that if someone did something truly wrong, he wouldn't want to be friends with them. 。Tan Siming, Yao Bixiong, he will never consorts with them in this lifetime. 。This is not because Xiao Zheng doesn't know how to be flexible, he just understands a simple truth. If he associates with them, he will not only lose himself but could ultimately be killed by them. 。If one could always remain true to oneself, there might still be a sliver of hope. But if one were to succumb to their power, one would likely end up completely obliterated. 。So, Xiao Zheng resolutely refused the dinner. 。Ma Huamin looked at the hung-up phone, a little unconvinced that "beep beep" sounds had really come from the other end. 。Of all the members of the group, Xiao Zheng was the first to resolutely refuse to participate. 。One hour later, Ma Huamin came to Yao Baixiang's office to report. 。When Yao Baxian heard that two people had taken leave, Yao Baxian suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who are they" Ma Huamin lowered his head and said, "It's Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei." 。Yao Baxian grabbed a file from the table and slammed it down: "Damn it, these two idiots have no sense of propriety!" Yao Baxian's anger wasn't because he actually wanted to celebrate with them, but because without Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenwei, there was no fun in humiliating them. 。Yao Bixiong glared at his office director, and asked again, "Did you make it clear Did you tell them this was to celebrate Secretary Tan's inauguration!" Ma Huamin bent his waist even lower, his voice trembling slightly, "Minister Yao, I made it very clear, but they still don't give face..." 。"Yao Baxian gritted his teeth and angrily said: "These two people are openly against me! I must make them pay!" 。"Get out of here first!" Ma Huamin said. 。He immediately backed out. 。As a secretary, one always has to endure some unwarranted calamities. 。Ma Huamin only straightened up completely after leaving Yao Bixiang's office. 。He didn't go straight back to his office, but walked to the restroom and washed his face. 。Looking at the face in the mirror, wet with tears, he suddenly had some doubts. Was this kind of work, this life of self-sacrifice, really what he was pursuing He was a graduate of a prestigious university, but every day he did chores for others. And no matter how well he did, there was always a reason to be criticized. 。He tilted his head and glanced at the scenery outside the men's room window to the north. Suddenly, he felt his own existence was so insignificant, almost laughable. He wasn't even as free as a stray cat, able to wander in the sunshine with abandon. 。At this moment, he suddenly really wanted to give up the position of Minister's Secretary in the Organizing Department, a title that brought him prestige. 。my disposal." 。Usually, you let Xiao Zhong follow you, and you can use the car as you please. 。"Xiao Zheng knew Gao Zhengping was thinking of him, so he said: “Thank you, Chairman Gao.” 。But when they...
