Rebirth in officialdom: crush enemies and reach the top

After get off work, Wu Quansong came to Chu Xian immediately.

"Let's go, Mayor, let's go have a drink! The main task today is to help you, a top student, get away from the dust!"

Wu Quansong acted very enthusiastically, so naturally Chu Xian couldn't act too cold.

But he still had a hidden wariness in his heart.

Because the previous Li Wenbin incident gave him a wake-up call!

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is necessary!

I am new here and I have no idea how deep and muddy the water in Maple Leaf Town is, so I’d better be careful!

Wu Quansong took Chu Xian directly to a restaurant next to the town government, and directly asked the boss for a private dining room. After consulting Chu Xian, he ordered a large table of dishes.

His movements were familiar, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had eaten in this restaurant.

Then the Tang regime, Shen Guorong and other members of the Standing Committee also arrived.

Ye Donghua didn't come to dinner.

Because her level is not enough!

The deputy director of the Party and Government Office can't even reach the deputy department level, so he should barely be regarded as a 'unit' level cadre.

"Come, let's welcome Mayor Chu together. Cheers!"

After Wu Quan let go of his head, a whole table of people gathered around Chu Xian to toast.

Chu Xian was very vigilant at the moment. He tried his best to pour every glass of wine by himself. Even if someone else poured the wine, he would always keep an eye on it and never drink the wine or tea that left his sight.

After confirming that the drink was okay, he drank it with confidence.

Everyone thought that after several rounds of toasts, Chu Xian, a frail scholar who seemed to have no capacity for alcohol, would be drunk!

But after several rounds of wine, the person who was toasting looked flushed and staggered.

But Chu Xian's expression remained as usual, not affected at all.

"Oh, the mayor has such a good drinking capacity!"

Everyone was amazed.

Chu Xian secretly observed a lot of information through this drinking game.

First, the Standing Committee seems to be divided into two factions.

One faction is headed by Party Secretary Wu Quansong, and its specific members are Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Guorong and Deputy Mayor Li Jiejie.

The other faction is headed by Tang Zhengyi, deputy secretary of the party committee, and its members are deputy town mayor Wang Chunwen, deputy town mayor and united front committee member Chen Jianbo, and political and legal committee member and armed forces minister He Yongheng.

Chen Chaosheng, chairman of the National People's Congress, has gray hair and will soon step aside and remain neutral.

Tian Chongxi, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, is cautious and has no sense of presence.

He, the airborne mayor, is now almost alone!

It was scrutinized and vigilant by two groups of people.

Chu Xian also discovered that when Party Secretary Wu Quansong and Deputy Mayor Li Jiejie looked at each other, they were full of ambiguity and stories.

It feels like the relationship between the two is unusual.

Halfway through the meal, Chu Xian accidentally dropped his chopsticks. When he bent down to pick up the chopsticks, he discovered that one of Wu Quansong's legs was crossed, and he was actually resting on Li Jiejie's thigh, rubbing back and forth!

"Oh, there really is a story between these two people!"

Chu Xian was even more convinced of his judgment.

After finishing the meal, no one paid. Wu Quansong just said "account" to the boss and walked away.

Chu Xian was keenly aware that after hearing the word 'bookkeeping', the boss's face became a little ugly, but in the end he didn't say anything and stared at Wu Quansong's leaving figure with a look of dismay.

"You guys go first, I'm going to the bathroom!"

Chu Xian made up a random reason, and after sending the other standing committee members away, he first handed a cigarette to the boss.

For men who smoke, cigarettes are the best bond to enhance their relationship!

The two smoked for a while, then Chu Xian pretended to be casual and asked, "Boss, do you pay them when they come to your place to eat?"

"Give me money? Give me shit, I never give you! Every time I keep accounts, tens of thousands have been recorded, and no one has ever paid!"

I didn’t expect people like Wu Quansong to be so courageous that they dared to eat the King’s Meal blatantly!

"Then you don't ask him for it?"

"Do I dare?" The boss's face was full of bitterness. "He is the top leader in Maple Leaf Town. He can almost cover the sky with one hand in the whole town! If I dare to ask him for money, someone will come to check the tax soon and accuse me of tax evasion." "After a while, someone came over to check the fire protection, saying that my store's fire protection failed to meet the standards and that it would be closed for rectification... Can my restaurant still be opened?"

"Then you didn't sue him? Just let him bully you?"

"I filed a lawsuit, but in the end I was detained for more than ten days for picking quarrels and provoking trouble! After I came out, I became honest. Common people like us can't fight them, so we should just be patient!"

At this time, Chu Xian had finished smoking a cigarette, put it out in a simple ashtray and said, "Boss, please calculate for me, how much did this meal cost today?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, and after a while he slowly said: "330."

Chu Xian nodded, took out cash from his wallet and handed it to the boss, "Give me invoices and receipts. They need to be typed, not handwritten."

The boss was suddenly excited. This was the first time that these people had come to eat so many times and he had received money!

But while he was excited, he was also a little scared.

I am worried that I will be retaliated against if I take this money!

Seeing that the boss wanted it but was a little afraid, Chu Xian urged him to accept the money quickly, "What's there to be afraid of? It's only natural to give money to eat! This is your legal income!"

At Chu Xian's urging, the boss accepted the cash and issued him an invoice and receipt.

"Well, if you eat with them, you should be a leader, right?"

the boss asked cautiously.

"I am Chu Xian, the new mayor of Maple Leaf Town..."

Chu Xian thought for a while and left a number for his boss directly on the cigarette box. "If you have anything you want to say, you can come to me! Let me give you a message: things will always be resolved. No matter how thick the dark clouds are, they will always be solved. The day I saw the sun..."

After saying that, Chu Xian ignored the dazed boss and strode out of the restaurant.

When Chu Xian walked out of the restaurant, a group of people were already waiting impatiently.

"Mayor, why did it take you so long to go to the toilet? You didn't go to the toilet to throw up!"

"Haha, no, maybe the food I ate is a bit mixed and I have diarrhea..."

Chu Xian randomly found a reason to fool him.

"Hahaha, Mayor, I didn't expect that your stomach and intestines can't stand the torture at such a young age..."

"I really drank too much today, so I need to go home and take a nap! Everyone, please go to bed early, bye..."

Then everyone said goodbye to each other.

As soon as Chu Xian returned to the door of the town government from the restaurant, he found Ye Donghua standing there waiting for him.

"Mayor, shall I take you to see the dormitory? I have just prepared the toiletries for you and made the bed!"

"Thank you so much! Take me to see..."

Ye Donghua then took Chu Xian to the dormitory behind the town government.

This is a suite of about 50 square meters, with a separate kitchen and bathroom.

Bright and spacious, in pretty good condition.

Beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and benches, desks, pots and pans are all available.

"Mayor, look at what's missing, I'll buy it for you." Ye Donghua said, "If you're not used to the food in the cafeteria, I can come over and cook for you. My craftsmanship is pretty good!"

"Don't bother me. You, the deputy director of the Party and Government Office, are not here to serve me alone!"

"It's okay, mayor..."

When Ye Donghua said this, her face suddenly turned red, "Mayor, can I ask you a personal question?"

"Well, ask!"

"Do you have a partner?"
