Siheyuan, my new life

When Li Huaide was drinking with several leaders, Lin Yu also took the glass of boiled water to another table and expressed his welcome to the new colleague with water instead of wine.

It was a great honor for the boss to come over and toast everyone. Everyone stood up enthusiastically and drank together. Of course, no one would care about the glass in Lin Yu's hand. Qin Ming was also a well-tested cadre. Under his leadership, the atmosphere at the table was very lively.

Lin Yu was just going through the motions, as long as the idea was conveyed. When he turned around and returned to his table, he saw Li Huaide toasting the leaders one by one.

Lin Yu sat in his seat, lit a cigarette and watched Li Huaide's performance happily.

At this time, the atmosphere in the next private room was unusually depressing. Acting Secretary Xiao Jianguo, Acting Factory Director Liu Changhe, and Deputy Factory Director Xue Yongheng all looked unhappy.

Listening to the clinking of glasses coming from next door, none of the three had the appetite to eat.

The three factory leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill were able to have their current status because they all had some connections behind them, and Lin Yu's appointment was not a secret, so they all learned the news this morning.

The moods of the three people were of course different. In addition to envy, Liu Changhe and Xue Yongheng were more concerned about how to maintain a good relationship with each other in the future. Xiao Jianguo had mixed feelings. The dispute he had with Li Huaide in the office yesterday had already spread around the Red Star Steel Mill today. When he found out, he was extremely annoyed, but he also knew that he had no way to stop the spread of the news.

After receiving the reprimanding call from the leader of the Industrial Bureau, Xiao Jianguo felt extremely upset. It seemed that he had acted too hastily and was eager to show off without removing the word "agent". It was obvious that Li Huaide had reported him to Vice Minister Gao, so it seemed that he could not think of removing the word "agent" in the short term.

Especially after learning that Lin Yu had been promoted to the rank of director general, Xiao Jianguo felt extremely regretful. Thinking about what he said yesterday, it was now a joke. Even if he became an acting official in the future, he would not be qualified to act like a leader in front of others.

Xiao Jianguo believed that someone would definitely tell Lin Yu what happened in the secretary's office yesterday. Even the most magnanimous person would be unhappy if he judged others by his own standards. Now what Xiao Jianguo thought most about was how to improve his relationship with Lin Yu.

Originally thought that with so many senior leaders coming today, Lin Yu would have to ask himself, the head of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, to come out and accompany the leaders out of courtesy. However, he never expected that Lin Yu only notified Li Huaide to come and drink with them, and he, the secretary, and Liu Changhe, the factory director, were not invited at all.

Xiao Jianguo, unwilling to give up, invited Liu Changhe and Xue Yongheng to have dinner together in the small private room next door, planning to find an opportunity to go over and toast the leaders, or at least get to know them when they were seeing them off.

Actually, Liu Changhe had not originally planned to come here. He knew very well that since Lin Yu did not invite Xiao Jianguo and himself to the banquet, he had made it clear that he was unwilling to get close to people like him. But he couldn't refute Xiao Jianguo's face, so he had to bite the bullet and come here. But listening to the noise next door, it seemed that there were a few more nails on the chair under his buttocks. Liu Changhe wanted to leave here immediately, but since he was already sitting here, how could he get up and leave? However, Liu Changhe had already made up his mind that he must not be the first to stand out later.

Just now, Xiao Jianguo shamelessly held a bottle of Fenjiu in his hand and was about to go to the next room to toast the leaders. Unfortunately, he couldn't even enter the door of the private room. As soon as he walked over, he was stopped by the security personnel standing at the door of the private room. He had to return to the small private room in shame.

Xiao Jianguo was unwilling to just give up like that. Since his toast failed, he could only wait for the leaders to finish their meal and come out before he could take the initiative to step forward.

So he pricked up his ears and listened to the movement next door. As time passed, he finally heard Director Wan of the Municipal Bureau say the end of the meeting, and Lin Yu said some polite words like "I'm glad to see you", and then there was the sound of chairs moving.

Xiao Jianguo immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the private room quickly with a smile on his face.

Liu Changhe shook his head slightly at Xue Yongheng who was about to stand up, and said in a low voice: "Don't follow him out and embarrass yourself. Acting Secretary Xiao is just desperate and trying all kinds of methods. It's just asking for trouble."

Xue Yongheng nodded imperceptibly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, then smiled and said: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

At this time, Xiao Jianguo did not notice the actions of Liu Changhe and the others at all. He was now completely focused on the leader who was about to leave the private room. He walked out of the small private room and was about to approach, but was stopped coldly by a security guard: "Go back immediately, don't act without authorization."

Xiao Jianguo was so frightened by the cold gaze of the security guards that he dared not move at all. He could only explain dryly: "I am Xiao Jianguo, the secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I came here specially to see the leader off."

The security guard still replied coldly: "Please leave immediately. The commander will not see you. Leave immediately, or don't blame us for being rude."

Xiao Jianguo actually sensed a hint of murderous intent in the other party's cold eyes. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word. He immediately turned around and left in shame. This time he didn't even enter the small box, but walked quickly to the stairs.

The security personnel did not deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Jianguo. Just now, when Xiao Jianguo came over to the private room to toast the leader and was stopped, a security personnel went in and reported to Director Wan in a low voice that if the leader was willing to meet with him, he would go over and inform him immediately.

Just now when Director Wan was in the Security Department's office, he had already thought about how to find Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Industry to "praise" Acting Secretary Xiao. How could he be willing to pay attention to him now? Therefore, he just said "Ignore him" and continued drinking with Li Huaide.

Director Wan drank very happily at noon today. Li Huaide not only spoke appropriately, but also had a good alcohol tolerance. He drank more than one and a half kilograms of white wine by himself at noon today. Although his face is now flushed, his eyes are still clear, and it is obvious that he has not reached his limit.

Everyone surrounded Director Wan and walked out of the small cafeteria. Director Wan, with a rosy face, smiled and said to Lin Yu beside him: "Today's chef He's cooking skills are really good. Next time we come to drink, we have to ask Xiao Li to accompany us. I have something to do this afternoon, so I will definitely try how much Xiao Li can drink next time."

Lin Yu said with a smile: "When the director has time, give me a call. I will ask Chef He to cook a few of his signature dishes and have Huaide drink a few more glasses with you."

The leaders had things to deal with in the afternoon, so they did not go upstairs, but got into their respective cars and left.

After the four cars sped away, Su Yu walked to Lin Yu's side and reported in a low voice: "Director, according to your instructions, the cigarettes for the leaders were given to their drivers. In addition, I took the initiative to give two boxes of cigarettes to each driver and entourage. Please criticize me."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Su Yu did a great job. There were some things I didn't consider carefully. You can just make up for the shortcomings and keep up the good work in the future."
