Thanks to Bai Yanfei's help, Gao Dapeng finished his work at 5:30 in the afternoon. He also specially invited the staff member who helped him to have dinner together in the evening.
Ning Yuanlin and Bai Yanfei worked in the same compound. After quickly finishing the work at hand, Ning Yuanlin also slipped away.
When they arrived at the food stalls by the moat, it was just a little after six o'clock. Xu Liming was going to bring a comrade with him at seven o'clock in the evening, so they didn't order any food, but sat around playing poker.
The four of them played poker for an hour or so to the sound of gurgling water, and finally welcomed Xu Liming and his old comrade.
There are two obvious levels among the six people. Xu Liming, his old comrades and Guangrong are the elders, while Yuan Fangguo and his group of four are the younger generation.
Ning Yuanlin and the staff member knew Xu Liming. When they saw Xu Liming, they couldn't help but look surprised. They thought that the leader of the Organization Department had personally led a team to conduct an open and secret investigation in the catering and entertainment venues. The two were shocked.
When they learned that Xu Limin and He Guangrong were also coming to eat, their hearts finally calmed down.
"Let me introduce you. This is Director He from the Dianbei City Public Security Bureau," Xu Limin said with a smile. "Director He is your elder in terms of age. We are only elders at the dinner table, not administratively. You can just call him Uncle He."
He Guangrong nodded, "Yes, just do as our Old Xu said and call me Uncle He."
Ning Yuanlin said sweetly, "Hello Uncle He, my name is Ning Yuanlin, and I work in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee."
After arriving in Beijing, Gao Dapeng also deeply felt the importance of social etiquette. After Ning Yuanlin introduced himself, he quickly said, "Hello, Uncle He, I work in the xx department."
When He Guangrong heard that the tall boy in front of him actually worked in the xx department, he immediately looked at him with admiration.
Xu Liming was also surprised. He thought Gao Dapeng had returned to his hometown to work, but he didn't expect that this guy would be selected by a ministry in Beijing.
Being able to work in a ministry means that even if you are not doing well, you can easily become a department-level cadre without any problems.
"Dapeng, I thought you went back to your hometown to work." Xu Liming said with a smile.
Gao Dapeng smiled shyly, "Uncle Xu, the conditions in our hometown are still far behind those in Beijing."
Yuan Fangguo interjected at the right moment, "Uncle Xu, the main reason is that there aren't many people in our school who are qualified to work in government departments. Dapeng is very outstanding and has won scholarships every year. It would be a shame if he didn't work in a government department."
Xu Limin nodded, patted Gao Dapeng on the shoulder and said, "Dapeng, work hard in Beijing. I'm waiting for your good news."
Xu Limin didn't finish his words. He immediately turned to He Guangrong and said, "Lao He, Dapeng's biological brother Gao Dazhi died on the front line of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. I met them on the train to Yunnan during the summer vacation of 1994."
"Gao Dazhi?" He Guangrong frowned. He seemed to have some impression of this name in his mind.
After thinking for a while, He Guangrong's brows suddenly relaxed and he said loudly, "Old Xu, do you remember that tall scout?"
"Remember." Xu Liming nodded quickly.
“He is Gao Dazhi.”
"He is Gao Dazhi?" Xu Liming was surprised.
"Yes, he is Gao Dazhi, from the Special Agent Reconnaissance Company. The soldiers there are all of good quality."
"So it's him. I didn't know his name at the time, but now that you mention it, I remember it. Let's have a good drink tonight. I have to tell you, I haven't had a drink since August 1st."
Yuan Fangguo said with a generous look on his face: "Uncle Xu, Uncle He, how about we catch the bottle and blow it?"
"Okay, let's catch a bottle and blow it. Lao Xu and I once blew through a bottle of white wine at the front line. After that, we both slept for a full 24 hours. Fortunately, we were still breathing at that time, otherwise we would have been buried by our comrades." He Guangrong said jokingly.
"This guy insisted that he could drink two kilograms of alcohol, but he fell down with only one or two kilograms left in the bottle." Xu Liming also recalled the scene of that day.
As the two talked about what happened in the past, the surging blood in their hearts burst out from the depths of their hearts, and they seemed to look a lot younger.
Xu Liming knew that Yuan Fangguo did not join the ranks of state cadres, and it was he who proposed it. Therefore, according to policy regulations, state cadres are not allowed to do business. Even if you are good at getting along with everyone, once someone wants to deal with you, this one rule alone is enough to get you killed.
After hearing this, Yuan Fangguo also made up his mind to consciously give up his status as a state cadre and devote himself to the waves of the business world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of eating, Xu Liming also asked about Yuan Fangguo's recent situation.
Yuan Fangguo also told Xu Liming about all of this, because Li Guodong took special care of him. During the meal, he also specifically mentioned Li Guodong.
However, Xu Liming was busy with the plan, and when he heard Li Guodong's name, he just nodded slightly.
But the young staff member remembered him immediately. He was the younger brother of Li Guodong's wife, named Huang Xingquan.
That night, with the addition of He Guangrong and Gao Dapeng, and Yuan Fangguo and Ning Yuanlin constantly livening up the atmosphere, Xu Liming and He Guangrong were very happy and drank one glass of wine after another. Although they were older, their years of training and experience allowed them to handle such situations with ease. However, Gao Dapeng tilted his head back and fell into a deep sleep after drinking the four bottles of beer.
"I'll send him off tomorrow morning." Yuan Fangguo smiled slightly and then raised his glass again.
…
When Huang Xingquan met Li Guodong, he told Li Guodong what happened that night.
After hearing this, Li Guodong was filled with relief. He hadn't expected that his quarrels with Zhenxing and Zhongtai Group would actually solidify his unwavering resolve to help Yuan Fangguo. And Yuan Fangguo's relationship with Xu Limin, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister...
Especially when he heard Yuan Fangguo speak well of him in front of Xu Liming, he was filled with gratitude deep in his heart.
Although his promotion did not require Xu Liming's care, the Organization Minister was in charge of the promotion and appointment of all the cadres under him. No matter whether a person was in a high position in the government or far away in the world, he would always have a group of brothers. Sometimes, personal future and destiny were not important, but the future and destiny of his subordinates were important. This rule had not changed for thousands of years.
