Zhao De smiled and said yes.

"I see that your Director Zheng values you very much. The people brought by general leaders to dinner are all their right-hand men. The young man must be very valued by Old Zheng, right, Old Zheng?" Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin praised him with a smile, which made Zhao De feel a bit embarrassed. He just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Since Zheng the Bald Donkey could treat Zhao De as his future son-in-law, one could imagine how much he valued him. So he said with a laugh, "Little Zhao is indeed not bad. He only came to the unit to work in July this year, but his work ability is very outstanding, and his performance is usually very good. Today, I just brought him here to get to know Boss Zhang and Boss Lin. I will retire in a few years. The people who will deal with you in the future may be these young comrades."

"Then that means I must accompany Comrade Little Zhao to drink a few more glasses tonight, right?" Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin said jokingly with a smile.

"It's okay, Little Zhao's drinking capacity is still okay," Zheng the Bald Donkey said.

Grass! This old guy really brought me here today to be his wine barrel, motherfucker! Zhao De thought. Suddenly seeing a vicious look flash across the opposite side, Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa squeezed a cold smile from the corner of his mouth, and he knew that this old guy probably wanted to take revenge and make him lose face at the wine table tonight. Zhao De hadn't drunk with Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa before, and he didn't know his drinking capacity. But considering that he was so open in Yuyang City, his drinking capacity was naturally not ordinary. Thinking this way, he was a bit worried, really afraid that he wouldn't be able to compete with these old rivers and lakes. So he said humbly, "I can't drink much. Director Zheng is joking."

"Hey! Why are you humble? Since your Director Zheng said you can drink, then you can definitely drink. Young people, drink a few more glasses, it's okay. Unlike us old guys, our bodies are not good, and we fall down after drinking a little," Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin said in a relaxed tone.

The atmosphere was not as oppressive and tense as Zhao De thought when he saw Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa. From his observation of him, since he let Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin be the middleman to invite guests to dinner to know the people of the Construction Committee, he must be opening up the relationship, and he wouldn't turn against him on the spot at the table. Zhao De guessed that he shouldn't say anything in front of Zheng the Bald Donkey. So he relaxed his nervous mood slightly, acting as if he didn't know Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa at all, smoking and sipping tea while occasionally accompanying Zheng the Bald Donkey and Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin to say a word or two.

The wine and dishes were all served. So without waiting for Zheng the Bald Donkey to order, Zhao De got up with great eye-catching ability, poured four glasses of wine, and put one in front of everyone.

Zheng the Bald Donkey smiled satisfiedly and raised his wine glass to help with the opening speech: "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for inviting me to this dinner tonight. Come, let me toast everyone first."

"Old Zheng, you are too polite. I have to thank you for being willing to give me face to eat this meal in your busy schedule. I am really very happy. Come." Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin hurriedly said politely while welcoming the wine glass. Seeing this, Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa and Zhao De also raised their wine glasses in unison and touched them with Zheng the Bald Donkey. The four of them drank the wine in the cup in one gulp at the same time, and Zhao De immediately filled the cup.

"Director Zheng, eat the dishes, drink while eating." Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa greeted Zheng the Bald Donkey to eat the dishes with a full face of smiles, and by the way, picked up a pair of dishes for him and put them in the dish.

Zheng the Bald Donkey only roughly knew that Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin's in-law was doing the coal business in Yuyang City, and he didn't know the specific scale. So he ate a bite of the dish and said with interest, "I heard from Old Zhang that Old Lin is doing the coal business in Yuyang. Is it in the aspect of transportation and selling, or?"

Seeing that Zheng the Bald Donkey was interested in his in-law's business, Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin immediately grabbed the answer: "Old Lin is mining, and there are several mines in Yuyang."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa nodded with a smile.

Zheng the Bald Donkey praised with astonishment, "Mining is not ordinary. I know that the coal bosses in Yuyang are all capital-rich and very powerful. Looking at Old Lin's age, the time for mining should be relatively long, right?"

"More than twenty years," Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa answered.

"Then it must be rich and oily," Zheng the Bald Donkey said jokingly, "You two in-laws, one is doing the real estate business in Xijing in a booming way, and the other is a coal boss in Yuyang. It is really a good match, haha..."

Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin and Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa looked at each other. Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa immediately raised his wine glass, bent down respectfully, and raised it: "Director Zheng, come, I toast you a glass. I am really very happy that you can give me face today."

"Come, this can be considered our first meeting, let's touch one." Zheng the Bald Donkey raised his glass politely and touched it with him, drank it in one gulp, and showed the cup mouth to him.

"Director Zheng is really heroic." Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa flattered, which made Zheng the Bald Donkey feel very useful. He put down the cup, turned his face to Zhao De, and said, "Little Zhao, everyone at this table is older than you. You are a junior, you should toast Boss Zhang and Boss Lin."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Zhao De suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Why am I so confused?" Saying this, he immediately got up and filled Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa's cup with wine, took his own wine glass, stretched it out with both hands, and said with a smile without changing his face: "Boss Lin, come, I toast you a glass."

A strange smile that only he could understand floated on the corner of Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa's mouth. He half-stood up, raised his cup with one hand, and smiled with hatred in his eyes: "Brother Little Zhao is polite." He touched the cup, raised his head slightly, smacked the wine, and secretly stared at Zhao De with poisonous eyes.

The two drank the wine, and Zhao De filled Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa and himself with wine again. He put down the wine bottle, raised the wine glass, faced Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, I toast you a glass."

After all, Zhao De was the person brought by Director Zheng, and he could be considered his left and right shoulder. So facing Zhao De's wine, Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin looked very harmonious. He hurriedly stood up with the wine and said, "Okay, okay." He touched the wine glass with Zhao De's wine glass lightly, drank the wine without reservation, learned Zheng the Bald Donkey's appearance, and showed the wine glass to Zhao De: "Thank you, Little Zhao."

"Boss Zhang is really heroic." Zhao De also flattered.

Zheng the Bald Donkey was a sensible person. He knew that Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin brought his in-law to invite him to dinner tonight, and it must not be for no reason. Since he introduced this Boss Lin to him, there must be something. But at the banquet, Zheng the Bald Donkey performed not in a hurry. As long as they didn't speak, he didn't ask anything. Anyway, the habit formed in the officialdom was to have less trouble than more trouble, and he wouldn't take the initiative to facilitate anyone. There were no real friends between officials and businessmen, only eternal interest relationships.

Of course, Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin and Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa were also old rivers and lakes who had been in the business world for many years. At the beginning, they just ate and drank, and never mentioned why they came at the wine table. Dealing with officials had very deep skills and knowledge. These two old guys mastered these skills to perfection. Sometimes, knowing someone you need to know, inviting guests to dinner was necessary, but asking for help was another matter. It didn't have to be said at dinner, which would affect the atmosphere and make people disgusted. Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa wanted to engage in real estate in Xijing. Through Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin's introduction, he wanted to know the leaders of various units related to real estate development one by one. Tonight was just inviting the director of the Construction Committee, Zheng the Bald Donkey, to dinner and meeting. At the wine table, he deepened the impression of each other and didn't intend to say anything directly to him. However, the box of money brought was not put on the table for a long time because Zheng the Bald Donkey brought Zhao De to attend the banquet.

Sure enough, as Zhao De guessed, Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa and Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin's drinking capacity was really not ordinary. After eating for more than an hour, two bottles of Moutai had already seen the bottom. Zheng the Bald Donkey only drank three or four glasses of wine, and then used the excuse that his liver was not comfortable recently and he couldn't drink, pushing him out to block the wine. After the toasts back and forth, the three of them finished two bottles of wine, and they still looked like they had no change in their faces, without any effect of alcohol. Seeing this situation, Zhao De began to be careful. As long as the two old guys didn't toast, he didn't intend to take the initiative to toast.

Halfway through, Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa said he wanted to go to the bathroom. Zhao De said very actively: "Boss Lin, take your time, I'll accompany you."

Zhao De's performance of being so good at observing words and colors made the old guy Zheng, who was drinking with a slightly flushed face, very satisfied with the performance of this future son-in-law. His face was filled with a satisfied smile: "Yes, Little Zhao, you accompany Boss Lin to the bathroom."

Zhao De followed Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa out of the private room. As soon as the door was closed, Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa turned back and looked at him with a strange look and smiled strangely: "Section Chief Liu, long time no see, how have you been!"

"Boss Lin, you have also been well," Zhao De said coldly and unwillingly, "I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really a narrow road for enemies."

"I didn't expect to meet you here either. I didn't expect that you came to the Provincial Construction Committee after leaving the Yuyang Coal Bureau. You are really capable," Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa said coldly while walking.

"I didn't expect that you, Boss Lin, invited our Director Zheng to dinner. I'm afraid Boss Lin wouldn't want to know our Director Zheng for no reason, right?" Zhao De wanted to get words out of his mouth to see what purpose this old guy had in letting Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin be the middleman to know Zheng the Bald Donkey.

"Little Zhao, this is not right. It's very normal for me to invite your Director Zheng to dinner. Boss Zhang has a very unusual relationship with your Director Zheng. You know this too. I just happened to come to the province to handle something, so I just ate a meal and got to know him. But I really admire you, young man. You did so many things that couldn't see the light in the Yuyang Coal Bureau, and you were actually able to retreat all over and come to work in a better unit like the Provincial Construction Committee. You are really young and promising. I have to admire you," Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa said with thorns in his words.

"Hehe, it's not that I'm capable. You should also know that in the end, I was forced to have no way to go by several leaders in the Coal Bureau. It just happened that my cousin said there was a position in the province, so I came over, and she handled it for me," Zhao De deliberately brought out Su Qing to suppress him, to see if Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa's interpersonal network was wide or Su Qing's power was great.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa was a bit astonished when he heard him say this. He looked at him in surprise, thinking that it was no wonder this guy would cause so many things when he was in the Yuyang Coal Bureau and wasn't afraid of causing trouble. It turned out that there was someone covering him. "Then... then congratulations to you. I hope you have an infinite future in the Provincial Construction Committee," Lin Lin Lin Lin Dafa glanced at him unconvinced and said frivolously, walking into the bathroom.

Zhao De stood outside the bathroom for a while, and suddenly had a wicked idea to tease this old guy. This restaurant was very high-end, and there was usually someone handing paper towels at the door of the bathroom after people finished going to the toilet and washing their hands. Zhao De had a flash of inspiration, walked up to the girl standing at the door, and whispered a few words in her ear. The girl looked at him in surprise, and Zhao De smiled wickedly, took out his wallet, took fifty yuan, and stuffed it to her. The girl nodded and agreed to his request.
