evening.
Dongsheng Hotel.
Dishes were served one after another.
Gao Lingyue sat in the main seat, with Long Gang and Wan Zhenting sitting on both sides of him.
Li Lin and Niu Jianbin have not arrived yet.
Long Gang had called him and said there was a traffic jam and he would be there soon.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Gao Lingyue gradually became impatient. He raised his wrist to check the time. His face instantly darkened. He said to Wan Zhenting and Long Gang unhappily, "Look, he made us, a group of leaders, wait for a county-level official like him... What kind of person is that!"
Wan Zhenting smiled apologetically. He didn't dare to say anything about Li Lin.
Long Gang also smiled and lowered his head to fiddle with the wine glass in his hand, as if he did not hear Gao Lingyue's complaints.
Seeing that neither of them responded, Gao Lingyue felt bored, sighed softly, and sneered, "Forget it, who asked me to ask for help? Let's be patient and wait for County Magistrate Li! Humph..."
After saying this, he snorted coldly, as if the dissatisfaction in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Just as the three of them were sitting in silence, the waiter led Li Lin and Niu Jianbin in.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Lin smiled and said, "Sorry, it's rush hour and there's traffic jam on the road. I'm late!"
Niu Jianbin followed behind Li Lin, nodding and apologizing to Gao Lingyue, Wan Zhenting, and Long Gang...
With Li Lin, the county magistrate of Shannan, present, it seems that it is not yet his turn as the political and legal secretary to speak.
Gao Lingyue still maintained his airs and did not immediately stand up to greet him.
However, Long Gang and Wan Zhenting stood up to greet Li Lin the moment he entered the room.
Perhaps Gao Lingyue felt that this was not the right way to ask for favors, so he slowly stood up, forced a smile on his gloomy face, and said to Li Lin, "County Magistrate Li, you are a very busy man, it's not easy to see you! Haha, we two department-level cadres and Director Long Gang of the provincial department have been sitting here waiting for you for more than half an hour... You are really generous!"
Gao Lingyue expressed his dissatisfaction while joking.
Wan Zhenting listened to these explosive words, fearing that the two would become hostile as soon as they met, so he quickly said, "Xiao Lin, come on, come on and sit down. Director Gao has already vacated a seat for you, hehe..."
As he said that, he invited Li Lin to sit next to Gao Lingyue.
"That won't do! You are all leaders... I will sit at the serving table tonight and serve you all!"
Li Lin rejected Wan Zhenting's invitation and pushed him to sit next to Gao Lingyue, and sat down next to Wan Zhenting himself.
Niu Jianbin saw that the opportunity to show off had come, so he sat down next to Li Lin and said, "Tonight everyone is the leader of the public security system. As a subordinate unit, it is most appropriate for me to serve, hehe..."
Gao Lingyue was very satisfied with Li Lin's low-key attitude. He thought arrogantly, it seems that Li Lin has come to his senses and knows that he can't afford to offend me. He has put himself in the right position so quickly and has become sensible to the times! Hahahaha... I thought I was a county-level cadre, how awesome was that? It's just like this!
The dishes have been served.
Gao Lingyue raised his glass first, pointed at Li Lin and said, "County Magistrate Li, thank you for giving me face tonight. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Let's toast and make peace. From now on, we are family. You should also know my position in the Ministry of Public Security. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve in the future, you can come to Yanjing to find me. I will do my best to help you! Come on, cheers!"
Long Gang and Wan Zhenting found it funny to see Gao Lingyue start to make promises again... They thought, Gao Lingyue, are you omnipotent? Can you solve problems for everyone? You are too arrogant, aren't you?
Wan Zhenting was very thankful at this moment. Fortunately, he did not fall for Gao Lingyue's trick. Otherwise, he would have become a gun in the hands of others, doing all kinds of things that offended people, but only got an empty promise! He now saw through Gao Lingyue's tricks!
Li Lin stood up, but did not take the cup. Instead, he smiled and said, "Director Gao, you should not toast me with this cup of wine. You are the guest and I am the host. I should toast you! According to our Pingyang rules, I will drink three cups and toast you one cup!"
As he said that, Li Lin picked up the cup and drank it all, three cups in a row... He would rather drink by himself than clink glasses with Gao Lingyue.
According to Gao Lingyue, if we clink glasses we become friends... How could Li Lin make friends who would intercede for criminals?
Gao Lingyue stood there in a daze with his glass in hand. He didn't understand what Li Lin was thinking and thought that this was really the custom of entertaining guests in Pingyang... So he didn't refuse. After watching Li Lin finish three glasses, he put down the glass and sat down again, waiting for Li Lin to toast him with a smile.
He thought, yes, what is his status and position? How can he take the initiative to toast with Li Lin, a county-level official? It should be Li Lin who should toast me!
At this moment, he was very proud...
But Li Lin sat down after drinking three glasses of wine, and calmly picked up the food...with no intention of toasting him at all.
Didn't we say toast? Why are we sitting down to eat again?
Gao Lingyue was puzzled, but he couldn't ask such questions out loud, so he could only laugh and drink his tea tactically to hide his embarrassment.
At this time, Long Gang winked at Wan Zhenting, suggesting that he should not be idle and play a round first!
Wan Zhenting understood, nodded to Long Gang, stood up quickly and said with a smile, "Director Gao, on behalf of the Pingyang Municipal Bureau, I welcome you to come down and guide our work... I hope you can come down more often in the future and promote the work of our Municipal Bureau, hehe..."
Gao Lingyue just smiled faintly and picked up the food, ignoring Wan Zhenting.
