As soon as they sat down, the two beautiful receptionists handed an exquisite menu to each of them. They also gave Hu Changxia and Gu Shaotang two VIP cards at the same time. Hu Changqing ordered a few dishes that he had eaten last time and thought were not bad. Chen Yushan ordered a non-spicy stewed pork ribs with lotus root. Hu Changxia chose two dishes that looked good, but Gu Shaotang only looked at them and did not order. Just like that, the four adults and one child ordered seven dishes and one soup.
Liu Guangqing stood at the side until the guests were alone. He came over and poured tea into everyone's cups. The tea was very good. It was really the best Wufeng Maojian tea. It seemed that he also knew Chief Hu's hobby of drinking Maojian tea. Hu Changqing was not surprised at all. No matter what, Liu Guangqing was the cousin of Wang Liang, the deputy director of his office. It was not surprising that he knew about his hobbies through Wang Liang. Liu Guangqing must have done some homework after he came last time.
After pouring a round of tea, Liu Guangqing smiled and said,"Chief Hu, Inspector General Hu, Captain Gu, and Minister Chen, the dishes will be served as soon as possible. Please enjoy your meal.”He paused for a moment and continued,"What a coincidence. Today, Secretary Wang's family is also having dinner here at Mount Wudang Hall. Bureau Chief Zhong of Nanshan Branch is also in Mount Tai Hall. Oh right, Chief Gu of Chief Hu's office seems to be treating us to drinks here today. Enjoy your meal. I'll take my leave first." With that, he bowed and left, closing the door behind him.
Hu Changqing watched Liu Guangqing go out with an appreciative look. He had acquaintances who would inevitably go out to socialize later. The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee in front was an acquaintance of his sister, and the two behind were his. Bureau Chief Zhong of Nanshan Branch was his uncle's subordinate, and they had always been on good terms.
The so-called Section Chief Gu was actually Gu Ming, a staff member in his department. He was an old man who had been in the department for more than 20 years. He had some ability, but he did not have a strong background. He had always drifted between him and Deputy Director Wang Liang. He was not pleasing to the left and right. He was a smelly and hard stone.
Hu Changxia took a sip of tea and glanced at the little girl who was serving in the private room. He said casually,"This boss is not simple." The girl knew that they were going to talk about something, so she went out tactfully and closed the door to guard the door.
Hu Changqing ate a few mouthfuls of side dishes and continued,"Not only is he not simple, but he's also a character.”As the boss, he had to be personally involved in everything. Moreover, he had to welcome and send them off. He was a person who could yield and stand up.
Hu Changxia glanced at her husband on her right and saw that he was eating the side dishes in front of him. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her husband had never been interested in these things. He picked up a piece of sour radish and placed it in front of her daughter."What does Yushan think of this person?"
Chen Yushan was drinking tea and quickly put down the cup.""I think this person is very interesting. He has a good business mind, but he doesn't seem to know anything about officialdom. Sis, why are you asking me?" She was puzzled by Hu Changxia's sudden question.
Hu Changxia's eyes lit up when she heard Chen Yushan's answer. This girl was really smart, but her mother had already told her about it. She thought about how her relationship had gone through many ups and downs. How could she bear to see her brother like that? But seeing how the two of them were so close to each other, she couldn't help but sigh. She would help them if she could.
Hu Changxia said gently," Changqing isn't very sensitive about this. You have to help him more in the future. Also, what are you guys thinking? You're not young anymore. Shouldn't you get married first?"”
Chen Yushan didn't expect Hu Changxia to suddenly change the topic. She didn't know what to do, and her cheeks turned red. Luckily, someone knocked on the door at this time, which eased her embarrassment. It was the waiter who brought the dishes. Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes. The waiter set up the dishes and left automatically, thinking that they wanted to talk while eating.
Hu Changxia saw that Chen Yushan didn't reply and glanced at her brother on her left. She saw that her brother pretended not to see her and was only putting food into his daughter's bowl. She couldn't help but feel angry. The emperor wasn't worried about the eunuch, was he? He didn't say anything and joined Old Tao's team. After eating a few mouthfuls, he praised,""You don't have to say, the things are indeed very good.”
At this moment, Hu Changqing suddenly shouted,"Aiya, I almost forgot that there's something good to celebrate. Waiter, give me a bottle of Wuliang Ye."”The last sentence was said to the waiter outside the door.
The little girl immediately pushed the door open and entered. Hu Changqing repeated himself. The waiter said gently,"Sir, which one do you want?”Hu Changqing looked at his brother-in-law, Gu Shaotang. Gu Shaotang had a hunch about what he was talking about. His expression was a little strange as he said in a hoarse voice,"Let's make the wine. Oh right, and a few bottles of fruit juice.”Obviously, he was taking care of women and children.
After a while, the wine was served. Hu Changqing personally poured wine into everyone's glasses, except for Gu Xinxin. Hu Changqing picked up his cup and said,"Today, I have a happy occasion to share with everyone. Our second uncle will be promoted to the secretary general of the provincial party committee. Let's toast."”After saying that, he took the lead to finish the wine. Other than Gu Shaotang, Hu Changxia and Chen Yushan only drank half a glass. Gu Xinxin also wanted to toast, which made everyone laugh. However, Hu Changxia and Gu Shaotang couldn't hide the joy in their eyes. Their background was getting stronger and stronger in the future.
Hu Changqing couldn't help but fill his and Gu Shaotang's wine glasses with wine. He raised his glass again and said,"Another happy news is that our beautiful Ms. Chen Yushan is about to leave prison and go to work in the investment department. Cheers.”Chen Yushan hit him a few times, but only the two men drank.
In the third round, Hu Changqing raised his cup again and said,"There's one more thing I need to say. There was a position of county secretary or county head in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. Chances are for those who are prepared. Cheers.”
Hu Changxia and Gu Shaotang thought they would hear the news they wanted to hear this time. They didn't expect it to be this. They were a little disappointed, but they couldn't help but feel sorry for their younger brother. Chen Yushan couldn't help but think. Was this the reason why he was different?
Seeing that Hu Changqing had no intention of continuing to talk, the disappointment in her husband's eyes flashed past. Hu Changxia could not help but ask,"Is that all?"
Hu Changqing was stunned." What else? Oh, there's one more thing. Xinxin Baby, if you kiss Uncle, Uncle will tell you a piece of good news, okay?" Come, hurry up." With that, she leaned her face closer to Gu Xinxin.
Poor Gu Xinxin was completely confused about the situation. She looked at her uncle innocently, but she still kissed Hu Changqing's cheek. After kissing him, she shouted,"Uncle is so smelly." He even waved his little hands in front of him. It seemed like he was drunk. He looked so cute. Chen Yushan couldn't help but laugh. She rarely saw Hu Changqing like this. She felt that it was funny and friendly. Gu Xinxin's expression was really cute.
Hu Changqing didn't care about his niece's disdain. He poured wine for everyone with a satisfied expression. Hu Changxia couldn't take it anymore and scolded,"Hu Changqing, if you have something to say, say it. Do you believe that I'll slap you?"”Hu Changqing was basically brought up by Hu Changxia when he was young, so he still had the dignity of an elder sister.
Hu Changqing quickly pretended to surrender and raised his glass."Alright, let's announce today's ultimate happy event. Our Captain Gu Shaotang, if nothing unexpected happens, will be the new Chief of the Longkou District Bureau.”
Hu Changxia and Gu Shaotang were shocked by the news. They had expected a change in their positions, but they didn't expect to be promoted to such a high position. There must be some unknown inside story, but they still drank happily. Even Chen Yushan drank her own wine this time, and Gu Xinxin also shouted "Yay" with her uncle. The private room was very lively and lively.
At this moment, there were a few knocks on the door. The door was pushed open and a forthright voice sounded. The person smiled and said,"What are you so happy about? Changqing, Changxia, Shaotang, Yushan, and our little princess are all here.”His voice was loud and clear.
Everyone quickly stood up to welcome him. Hu Changqing smiled and said,"Why is Uncle Zhong here? I was going to apologize to Uncle Zhong later. I didn't think it through and almost implicated Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong, I've called you uncle for so many years. If there's anything you want to say, you can just tell me directly.”
The person who came was Zhong Dashan, the director of Nanshan Branch. His uncle Gong Tianying used to be a soldier's subordinate. After he transferred to the police station, his uncle became a subordinate after he became a professional. He had always been under his uncle's command. He could be considered a direct descendant of his uncle. Therefore, Hu Changqing would usually look for him for anything. Last time, when the Cayenne wanted to hang up his traffic police license, Hu Changqing looked for him.
Zhong Dashan did not expect Hu Changqing to take the initiative to admit his mistake, but his words were a little sarcastic. He was a little difficult to handle for a moment, so he smiled awkwardly and said,"Sit down, sit down. Speaking of that matter, it's because I didn't do it well. I specially came over to apologize, so I'll do it first.”Zhong Dashan was also an experienced person, so his adaptability was naturally not bad. Since it was not easy to answer, I acted directly. I wanted to drink and let this matter go.
Hu Changqing was indeed a little angry, but he was angry at himself for taking things for granted. Although he always disdained those silkpants who just ate and waited for death, what he did this time was indeed thoughtless. This time, Zhong Dashan was caught in the middle and it was indeed difficult. He quickly stood up and drank the wine in his hand. He said sincerely,"Uncle Zhong, you're being too polite. In the future, if this brat has any inconsiderate areas, I hope that Uncle Zhong can correct me in time.”
Zhong Dashan couldn't help but glance at Hu Changqing. He felt that this kid was a little different. He was originally worried that this matter would leave a thorn in Hu Changqing's heart. It seemed that he was overthinking. At this moment, even Hu Changxia could see that her brother had made some progress. Her eyes couldn't help but glow with joy and comfort.
Zhong Dashan accompanied Hu Changqing and Gu Shaotang for a few more drinks before leaving. At this time, everyone returned to the topic from before. Hu Changqing said to Gu Shaotang bluntly,"Brother-in-law's new position is very challenging. Brother-in-law has to be mentally prepared.”
Gu Shaotang did not know much about politics. This time, he was in a high position, so he needed a comprehensive ability. However, he had always been a criminal police officer on the front line and did not know much about dispatching and management. There must be a lot of shortcomings.
Hu Changxia couldn't help but come back to her senses. She had only been happy just now. Her brother's worry was not without reason. She couldn't help but look at her husband worriedly. Gu Shaotang said confidently,"What, do you think that I've been a criminal police officer for ten years for nothing? Don't worry, officialdom is nothing more than a few rules.”
After he finished speaking, his strong and powerful hand under the table could not help but hold his wife's hand. Because of his personality, he really owed his wife a lot over the years. Now that he had a good platform, he would definitely do his best. Feeling Gu Shaotang's warm and strong hand, Hu Changxia could not help but feel relieved. The person beside her had never let her down.
Seeing her sister and brother-in-law looking at each other affectionately, they decided to work together to face everything. Hu Changqing couldn't help but hold Chen Yushan's hand. His heart was filled with ripples. He suddenly felt that happiness was actually very simple.
