Chapter 456 Jinghua State Banquet

Zhang Wenqi smiled reservedly and said, "The old leader's condition is getting better and better. During this period, everyone has been worried and helping with this matter. I have long wanted to invite everyone to a meal and express my gratitude. It is not because of work. There is only this statement at work. As for whether it can be implemented in the end, it is still unknown!"

"The old leader's illness is cured, and it is worth celebrating. This meal is something to eat, but there is no need to thank you. Who made us classmates?" He Xiangdong waved his hand, thinking that Zhang Wenqi was lucky this time, and he was transferred to the Provincial Government Office.

People within the system have always been cautious in their work. Who dares to treat them in advance if they are not sure? If they fail, wouldn’t they be slapped themselves in the face? Although Zhang Wenqi said that the work had not been finally implemented, everyone knew in their hearts that since Zhang Wenqi proposed to treat them to dinner, this matter was basically settled, and Zhang Wenqi was only allowed to take office after graduation.

"Everyone can decide the place for dinner!" Zhang Wenqi took the initiative to mention a location and said, "Or how about the Jixiang Hotel or the Wangfu Hotel mentioned last time?"

"It seems that Brother Zhang is ready for bleeding, so let's slaughter Brother Zhang?" He Xiangdong made a fuss and laughed: "You must not miss the opportunity, you won't come again!"

Shi Wei thought for a while and said, "I think these two places are a bit mysterious! I'll have a meal tomorrow and go to order today. I'm afraid it's difficult to order a seat. I have a better choice!"

Everyone looked at Shi Wei and wanted to know what Shi Wei's better choice was. The one in Beijing was better than these two hotels, namely Jingxi Hotel and Diaoyutai. But the seats there were even more difficult to set!

"The former Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace was reopened two days ago. The new name was Jinghua State Banquet. Its grade is not lower than that of Jixiang Hotel and Wangfu Hotel. However, due to the two years of closure, there are discounts recently opened and the seats are easier to book. We are our own brothers' gatherings. It is the most cost-effective and cost-effective here." Shi Wei said.

When He Xiangdong heard this, he said, "I don't know this news. It seems that Brother Shi Wei has a wide connection in the capital!"

Shi Wei smiled and felt a little satisfied, but said: "I have no connections in Beijing. Our city's office in Beijing has some activity capabilities. A few days ago, the Beijing-China state banquet was reopened, and our office in Beijing went to express our congratulations. The other party also gave a card, saying that not only can I book in advance, but I can also get another 20% off on the basis of the discount!"

Zhang Wenqi patted the board and said, "It's rare to get a bloody life. Just decide on the Beijing-China State Banquet. I only heard of it, but I haven't seen it before! But I'll ask my brother Shi Wei to order the seat."

Shi Wei said: "I have a very good relationship with the director of the city's Beijing Office. If you borrow this card and use it, there should be no problem!"

Zhang Wenqi said again: "If you feel good after eating tomorrow, I will have a leader coming to the capital to do business in a few days. I am afraid that I will borrow the card from Brother Shi Wei to use it!"

"I can't guarantee whether I can lend it out then, but Brother Zhang just greets you and I will definitely do it for you!" Shi Wei did not make a promise, but it was equivalent to making a promise. As long as you can make a reservation, it would be a trivial matter whether the discount or not.

When everyone saw that Zhang Wenqi was going to spend such a lot of money, they understood that the leader Zhang Wenqi was going to receive had a great relationship with his promotion this time. Maybe he was a provincial leader in Xijiang Province. Tomorrow, Zhang Wenqi invited everyone to dinner, and by the way, he might also have to inspect the environment of the Beijing-China state banquet. This shows that Zhang Wenqi attaches great importance to the matter of receiving the leaders this time.

After the matter was settled, Shi Wei took out the phone and happily called the director of Xunzhou Municipal Office in Beijing. Not long after, the other party called back and said that the seat had been booked.

Zhang Wenqi said: "It's my fault for brother Shi Wei!"

Shi Wei made a phone call, and let’s talk about it. Brother Zhang, who paid for it, we went to eat and drink for free!”

Shi Wei is now very willing to help Zhang Wenqi with this little bit of care. To be serious, in the dormitory, Zeng Yi still has more importance to Zhang Wenqi than Zhang Wenqi in his dormitory.

Although Zeng Yi is just a deputy chief clerk, and being able to study at the Central Party School means that the county still attaches great importance to him. If he is excluded, the county party school will easily put Zeng Yi in. Why is it sent to the Central Party School? The deputy chief clerk is gilded, and at most he will get a deputy department when he goes back. If he is well, he can mention the regular department. Shi Wei looks down on this level, but he can't resist Zeng Yi's youth. There is still a long way to go in the future. No one can tell that he can develop to the level, so Shi Wei is quite polite to Zeng Yi.

But Zhang Wenqi is different. He is in his forties and cannot withstand any wasted time. In addition, he fell ill and was excluded by his political opponents. Zhang Wenqi's future is almost gone. No matter where he is, he always speaks by strength. Zhang Wenqi cannot protect himself, so how can others value him?

But no one expected that things would have changed so much. Zhang Wenqi was excluded in the county, but was accidentally transferred to the provincial government. There is no need to talk about the importance of the provincial government. The important thing is that he can often walk under the nose of the leader. The future is really hard to talk about. He can just make a move to the provincial government and plating it with gold. If he goes to the provincial government, it is almost certain to be the county party secretary. If the leader appreciates it, there is no problem in transitioning to the provincial government for two years and becoming a deputy secretary-general. Then he will get a real important position in the prefecture-level city. At the worst, he can also serve as a first- and second-in-command in the provincial-level department and bureau.

Zhang Wenqi, who was running at the end, suddenly accelerated and ran to the front of everyone, which made people sigh that things are impermanent.

If such a thing is put on competitors in the same unit, many people will inevitably become jealous. However, if it is on his classmates, Shi Wei feels glad that his party school has not been in vain and met a capable classmate.

This reminded Zeng Yi of Wang Biao. Wang Biao's jealousy was too strong. He was a typical slut in the nest and was not comparable to others. Instead, he had to distinguish between his classmates from the top and bottom of his classmates. Because he was doing well, Wang Biao was struggling everywhere. I don't know what he was thinking. In fact, if his classmates did a good job, it would be a help to him.

After the meal was settled, He Xiangdong and Shi Wei surrounded Zhang Wenqi and inquired indirectly about the inside story of the change in this work.

It turned out that Wang Tietao's condition improved greatly. When he was able to speak freely, he called his backer, that is, the executive vice governor of Xijiang Province. He did not mention any words to care about Zhang Wenqi during the call, because the governor had no energy to pay attention to a small person. Wang Tietao just told the truth about his current situation during this period.

This move is very clever. Talking about one's own situation and other people's changes, he highlights Zhang Wenqi's image of affection and righteousness at once.

The big housekeeper under the executive vice governor has been following him for several years. If he doesn't give up and seek a real position, it will be hard to say. He particularly appreciates Zhang Wenqi's unyielding relationship with the old leader. Zhang Wenqi is now in luck. At this time, he will definitely be loyal to him. Loyalty is absolutely fine. So the executive vice governor intends to put Zhang Wenqi around to observe.

After understanding the inside story of the matter, He Xiangdong and Shi Wei couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that in the officialdom, they have always been with the red-top and white, and those who change their minds will not suffer a big loss. However, they did not expect that honest people like Zhang Wenqi would also have great luck. Such things are no less than the world.

After the class the next afternoon, everyone was ready to set off.

After walking out of the school, He Xiangdong's secretary ran over from the opposite side and said, "County Magistrate, as you told me, I brought the two best cars from the Beijing Office!"

He Xiangdong nodded slightly, then turned around and smiled at everyone, "The hotel seat was ordered by Brother Shi Wei. I will help you solve the problem of transportation! There is no car when you go out, but it is still not very convenient!" The meaning of this is to go to a place like Beijing State Banquet for dinner. If you don't have a good car and a strong storefront, it's probably not possible. This is also what I decided last night.

Zeng Yi held the bag in his hand and smiled and said, "I can't be empty-handed either. These two bottles of wine. Let's destroy them tonight!"

Shi Wei took a look and found that it was two bottles of Maotai of heights. Although it was not a special treasure, it was also valuable. He said, "I can't tell that the youngest's family is quite rich!"

Zeng Yi didn't want to be picked out of flaws, and explained with a smile: "These two bottles of wine cost me two months' salary, but it's worth it to follow Brother Zhang to see the most famous Beijing-China state banquet in Beijing!" These two bottles of wine were carefully selected by Zeng Yi, neither high-profile nor low-end. Since everyone has made efforts, Zeng Yi naturally cannot eat and drink with his hands.

Shi Wei didn't hear the flaws, so he patted Zeng Yi on the shoulder and said, "The youngest is really a real person, but this plan is good, haha! I can guarantee that you will definitely be worth the trip today!"

As he spoke, the driver drove over, and they all had the same style of Dafeng. It seemed that the Qingshan County Beijing Office was very strong.

Two cars, four people, whoever takes the front car or the back car is a problem. Zeng Yi took the initiative to say, "Brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, I will take this car!"

When Shi Wei heard this, he said, "The youngest arrangement is very good. Let's go, our third and fourth brothers are close together!" As he said that, Shi Wei and Zeng Yi got on one of them.

He Xiangdong immediately arranged for his secretary to follow Zeng Yi's car, then asked Zhang Wenqi to get on another car, and then everyone set out to go to the state banquet in Beijing.

The new address of the Beijing-China State Banquet is not far from the hot springs that Zeng Yi had taken before. Although the name has been changed, the style is still the same as before. It is still a garden-style hotel. There are more than a dozen buildings located on a hundred acres of land, which are used to entertain guests of different levels.

Even the layout is the same as the previous Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace. After entering the gate of the Imperial Banquet Palace, the car circled around the garden for several times before reaching the front of a grand and atmospheric building.

After entering the hall, Zhang Wenqi and He Xiangdong, who came here for the first time, were both surprised. Because of their professional relationship, they often saw such high-end restaurants, but with their knowledge, it was the first time that they had seen the luxury of top hotels in Beijing. The restaurants they had eaten in the past, including the hotels used by the provincial party committee, were probably not as good as here.

In addition to the magnificent luxury style, the antique decorations that can be seen everywhere and the carefully selected beautiful waiters are amazing. We have to sigh that the strength of the Beijing-China state banquet is the capital.

After the waiter asked how many people, he led everyone into the private room that had been booked in advance. The decoration in the private room was more upscale than outside.

As someone who has been here once, Shi Wei introduced to everyone when the waiter left: "Brother Zhang, this place is good, and there is absolutely no problem for entertaining leaders. To be honest, when I first came here, it was like a rustic bun in the city. Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden and opened her eyes!"

As he said that, Shi Wei slapped his seat casually and said, "It's just any chair here, it's not ordinary, it all has its origin!"

He Xiangdong didn't notice the chair, but he noticed the paintings hanging on the walls of the private room. They were all works by famous artists back then. Each one was probably worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. And the private room I booked today is not the best private room at the Beijing-China state banquet. I really don't know how luxurious the best private room here will be.

Shi Wei continued to say there, "The chefs here are all special chefs who have been state banquets. All the food and materials are purchased directly from the special vegetable base. It can be said that this is a veritable state banquet. What does the central chief eat? Eat here omnipotently, just tea used to entertain guests for free, which is also a rare treasure!"

Zhang Wenqi was shocked, but there was still a faint smile on his face. When he glanced at the side occasionally, he found that Zeng Yi was much calmer than himself, just holding the exquisite porcelain teacup in his hand. His face was calm and he savored it there slowly, without thinking that there was anything different here, just thinking that this was an ordinary place to eat.

Zhang Wenqi couldn't see through Zeng Yi, and his reaction in front of him also made him unable to see through. This was too calm!

In fact, Zeng Yi also had an idea in his mind. Today he finally understood a question. Why do local officials who went to the ministry and money would choose to invite the leaders of the ministry and commission here to have dinner here, and the leaders of the ministry and commission were also very willing to come here. The strength of the boss behind the Beijing-China State Banquet is only one aspect, mainly the hard power here. What the chief eats and what standards the standards are for eating can also be eaten here, and the results are the best, so everyone is naturally willing to come here.

The Beijing-China State Banquet was served very quickly. After a few minutes, the waiter pushed the cart to deliver the meal and walked in. He took out delicious dishes from it and placed them on the dining table. He introduced the names and characteristics of each dish.

This speed of serving food also indirectly reflects the strength of the Beijing-China state banquet. No matter how many guests there are, it can definitely ensure the speed of serving food and will not allow guests to wait for an extra second.

"Come on!" He Xiangdong first lifted the cup and said cheerfully: "Today's first glass of wine, I wish the old leader a quick recovery. I wish Brother Zhang a bright future! Everyone drinks this cup!"

"Brother Zhang, you will be successful in the future. You can't forget our brothers in dormitory 312!" Shi Wei smiled and gave another cup of wine.

When Zeng Yi was about to go, Zeng Yi lifted the cup and said in a simple sentence, "I have to thank Brother Zhang, which opened my eyes today."

Zhang Wenqi smiled and chatted with Zeng Yi. He still remembered that when he was reporting to the first day of the Party School, he proposed to hold a roommate party. No one responded at that time and was left there in a cold place. Zeng Yi helped him make the scene smoothly, saying that it was his first time in Beijing and wanted to eat a bowl of fried noodles, so he wanted to be a guide.

As for whether Zeng Yi was really coming to the capital for the first time, Zhang Wenqi felt that it was definitely not the case, so he remembered this favor. His little brother was a kind man, and he was cold and he stayed around the capital for most of the day.

The two bottles of wine brought by Zeng Yi were quickly wiped out. Seeing that everyone was happy to drink, Zhang Wenqi ordered two more bottles.

After drinking another bottle, Shi Wei's phone rang. He picked it up and took it, and then sued everyone. Then he got up and staggered out of the private room. It might be a very important phone call, which is not very convenient for everyone to listen.

The remaining three of them chatted, waiting for Shi Wei to come back to continue drinking, waiting around, and after twenty minutes, Shi Wei came back, Zeng Yi smiled and said, "The third brother can't find the private room, right? Why don't I go out and have a look!"

Zhang Wenqi was also a little worried and said, "Okay, then you'll be troubled and go out and have a look!"

Zeng Yi stood up and walked towards the door of the private room. Once he opened the door of the private room, he heard a loud noise outside, mixed with Shi Wei's voice. Zeng Yi thought something was wrong and walked outside quickly.

Zhang Wenqi and He Xiangdong naturally heard it, so they stood up and walked out together.

The location was not far from the private room, just over fifty meters away in front of him, a group of people surrounded Shi Wei and shouted loudly, but Shi Wei was a little humble and kept apologizing, but it seemed useless. The other party kept pushing and shoving, just to beat someone up.

Zeng Yi naturally couldn't let Shi Wei suffer a loss. He quickly stepped forward and directly pushed all these people aside. Then he stood in front of Shi Wei and said, "Third Brother, is it okay?"

Shi Wei at least saw a person of his own and was a little excited at the time, as if he had seen a savior, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay!"

As he spoke, the other party had a tall and thin man with a fierce face and had to reach out to pull Shi Wei's collar.

Zeng Yi raised his hand, pushed away the other party's hand, and said, "Friend, if you have something to say, don't do it at all!"

The man reached over and was very unhappy at the time. He raised his hand and pointed at Zeng Yi, "Who is the damn friend of you! Which onion are you? Let me go to the side!"

Zeng Yi frowned at that time. People who enter and exit the high-end hotels such as Beijing-China State Banquet are considered decent people, but they did not expect that there were such people with no quality at all.
