Xing Haodong has always been serious and never smiles, which makes people feel daunted.
But Bai Dingxian was very friendly and amiable, and soon he was surrounded by people, who were toasting each other and laughing from ear to ear.
Soon, the guests arrived.
As the protagonist of today's birthday party, Ding Hai raised his glass and said a few words.
His words and deeds expressed his admiration for Xing Haodong, the newly appointed director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau.
If you don’t know, you might think that the two of them are very close friends.
Xing Haodong took a symbolic sip of wine and then set his eyes on Gu Mingfeng who was not far away.
"Boss Ding, this person should be a key member of your company, right? He looks familiar."
Ding Hai was immediately surprised and looked at Gu Mingfeng curiously.
"Oh, he's the benefactor of my partner, Lao Zhang, and he's currently the deputy manager of the department store. He's not only a great person, but he's also quite capable."
He intended to praise him, but Gu Mingfeng's back was wet without him noticing.
"Director Xing, hello, long time no see... I'll toast you a glass."
Gu Mingfeng hurriedly raised his glass and stood up, nodding and bowing, waiting humbly for Xing Haodong's instructions.
"Oh, no wonder you look so familiar to me. It turns out to be Mr. Gu who just broke off his engagement with Director Bai's daughter."
Xing Haodong did not stand up, but deliberately held his wine glass very low, and also implied his relationship with Bai Dingxian in his words.
"Director Bai, you might not know yet. I just saw him with your daughter a few days ago."
Bai Dingxian's face froze instantly.
He stared at Gu Mingfeng in astonishment: "You little bastard, are you bothering Ruoxi again?"
"No, no, no, I didn't..." Gu Mingfeng's smile was uglier than crying, "Director Xing, you must have seen it wrong."
Xing Haodong showed a smile on his lips, but there was sarcasm in his eyes.
"Qingyun Hotel, am I remembering correctly? Also, Mr. Gu's name was mentioned on the city bureau's internal notice that day. A man solicited prostitution, two women engaged in prostitution... Hey, could that person have the same name as you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests at the table were in an uproar.
Many leaders who usually had a good impression of Gu Mingfeng looked at each other, too embarrassed to speak.
Ding Hai felt even more ashamed.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sharp cold light flashed in his narrow eyes.
"Gu Mingfeng, you went to a prostitute? This is outrageous! Where's Lao Zhang? Hurry and call Lao Zhang over to me!"
He hired Gu Mingfeng because of Lao Zhang's kindness.
As for his work ability, it's just so-so. He is good at drinking and having fun, and can help greet customers, but his business level is relatively average. He is not familiar with the company's internal products, and he almost made a mistake in signing the last contract.
Gu Mingfeng was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"Boss Ding, please listen to my explanation. It's not what you think. I was just playing along, just playing along!"
"So, your company's employees have to go to bed just for casual sex? This is really eye-opening for me."
Xing Haodong's words scared Ding Hai so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The Anti-Smuggling Bureau is specifically responsible for combating all forms of smuggling activities.
When they do business, sometimes in order to evade taxes, it is hard to say when they will touch the high-voltage line, but as long as they manage it properly, generally nothing will happen.
But Xing Haodong had just taken office and he hadn't figured out his personality yet, so how could he dare to break the law?
What if he sets his sights on the department store because of Gu Mingfeng's incident? What should we do then?
Therefore, Ding Hai had to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys and show his attitude in front of Xing Haodong.
"Gu Mingfeng, will Director Xing continue to slander you? Your personal behavior has seriously affected the company's reputation. As a warning, I will deduct two months' bonus and salary from you. If you do it again, you will be fired!"
After saying that, he quickly compensated Xing Haodong with a glass of wine.
But is that the end?
Of course not.
The Hongmen Banquet that Xing Haodong prepared for Gu Mingfeng has just begun.
"Boss Ding should really keep a tight rein on his employees. Henan Province was late to the party in reforming. Business places like department stores, which have high customer traffic, should strengthen their internal management to prevent their reputation from being tarnished by corrupt officials."
"But it's strange. How did Mr. Gu get the position of deputy manager so soon after retiring? This promotion is a bit too fast."
Xing Haodong stared at Ding Hai with a half-smile.
Ding Hai's palms were sweating.
Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, look who you introduced to me?
This is really going to put me in great trouble!
"You don't know, he was introduced to me by Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang is a man who values friendship the most. Because Gu Mingfeng saved his precious son, so..."
Just when he was halfway through his words, Lao Zhang hurried over from another table, holding a wine glass.
Ding Hai immediately pulled him over and complained in a low voice: "Why are you here so late? This is Director Xing, hurry up and toast."
Lao Zhang raised his glass and was about to speak when Xing Haodong raised his hand and pressed it in his direction.
"No need, let's finish talking first, it's not too late to drink later."
Ding Hai quickly bumped into Lao Zhang.
When Lao Zhang first arrived, he knew nothing and was completely confused. It was not until Ding Hai reminded him that he realized that Director Xing wanted to hear the story of Gu Mingfeng saving his son.
"Speaking of Brother Gu, he's truly my family's benefactor. My family has been a single-line family for three generations, and I finally had this precious child when I was thirty-five, so he's incredibly precious. A few days ago, he sleepwalked in the early hours of the morning and somehow managed to sneak out of the house... By the time my dad found him, it was too late. He searched the area for ages before finally finding him by the river. If it weren't for..."
