Chapter 580: New Year’s Tea Party

"Comrades and friends: In this beautiful moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, we gathered together with joy--" A heavyweight leader on the stage was delivering a speech to the guests.

Chen Mingluo, who was sitting below, glanced at the guests around him. They were all sitting upright with concentration, not daring to speak out, and they were all listening carefully to the leader's speech with their ears.

After Chen Mingluo's eyes swept around, he landed on the cake placed in front of him.

To be honest, the cake provided at the New Year Tea Party was indeed very exquisitely made. You can see at a glance that it was carefully prepared for a long time, representing the highest level in the cake world. Chen Mingluo saw it and his stomach also gushed twice, expressing his agreement with Chen Mingluo's view and strongly requested to experience it personally.

Chen Mingluo took a look and found that the camera's camera was aimed at the leaders on the stage, and several members of the Standing Committee who were rarely seen were also smiling at this time. The spring breeze blew on his face and the purple air came from the east.

Chen Mingluo quietly picked up the fork, and forked a piece of cake very quickly, and quickly put it into his mouth.

Sure enough, it is sweet and delicious, with real ingredients and endless aftertaste.

As usual, Chen Mingluo soon ate all the cake in front of him. The plate was clean and there was not a single cake residue, which showed how high Chen Mingluo's level was.

After eating the cake, Chen Mingluo was looking at what else to eat on the table when he saw someone pushing a plate from the side, which contained the same cake.

When I turned my head and saw a man in his thirties next to me, calmly maintaining a posture of looking ahead, but quietly pushing the plate with one hand and then using his hands to make a request.

Chen Mingluo smiled and thought to himself that this friend was very polite. He didn't refuse at the moment and started eating directly.

After eating two cakes, Chen Mingluo felt that his stomach was not so yelling, so he calmed down and watched the leaders above speak. However, the leaders didn't say much at this moment, and had already started to raise their glasses to celebrate.

With the cup in one fell swoop, the atmosphere at the scene became more lively. The Standing Committee members did not stay here for long. They raised the cup and greeted the crowd all the way, and then retreated.

However, the people who stayed began to communicate and started to eat and drink slowly.

The equipment was quickly replaced on the stage, and there were military art troupes performing to cheer them up, but there were not many familiar faces. After all, it was New Year's Eve today. Although it was only afternoon now, the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala had already begun, and the big names would definitely not be able to appear in such places.

But to be fair, the quality of the military art troupe is actually not low. Everyone is very comfortable to eat and watch while talking about topics. The key point is that the leaders have withdrawn and everyone has no worries when talking.

"I haven't asked you how to call this brother, where is it? " Chen Mingluo glanced at the young man next to him, bowed his hand and asked for advice.

"You are polite, I am Shangguan Jie, who is scattered in the Yongsheng Foundation and has stole the position of director." The man also looks like a handsome talent, and looks like the diamond princess. "I wonder who is the master of my brother?"

"I'm eating and drinking everywhere-" Chen Mingluo was not convenient to talk about his identity, but at least he gave him a piece of cake, so he ended a business card from his pocket and handed it to Shangguan Jie.

Shangguan Jie looked at the business card and was immediately surprised.

Originally, at this level of New Year tea party, Shangguan Jie was already relatively young, but when he saw Chen Mingluo, he found that Chen Mingluo was at most twenty years old, and was wondering who is his master and whose family’s children were?

But he never expected that the business card handed over by Chen Mingluo actually said something specialized by the State Council, and it also indicated that it was a deputy department level or something. Shangguan Jie immediately looked at him with admiration. Such a young deputy department level is rare in the capital. After all, it is a peaceful time now, and young heroes are too rare.

"It turns out it's Mr. Chen, I'm disrespectful." Shangguan Jie said in surprise.

"What's wrong with it is nothing but a false reputation-" Chen Mingluo replied, "Thank you Brother Shangguan for your cake. I was very hungry just now and my glasses were green."

"Haha, my brother is a person with temperament—" Shangguan Jie laughed.

At this time, the staff had already started to serve the dishes formally. The cold and hot stir-fry were very exquisite, with a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor. The wines served were also specially supplied by Maotai and other. Of course, there were also red wines for women.

However, in this type of entertainment, it is recommended to use national wine to entertain, and no foreign wine will appear, so it is not very appropriate to make it.

When the food came up, the two of them stopped talking and worked together to put on chopsticks. After all, they just met and were not suitable for in-depth conversations. After all, the exchange of simple and singular words is not what people in the official and shopping malls should do, at least there is no reason to do so.

However, when drinking, there was no scruples. The two of them had a few drinks and had a belly roll.

"Mr. Chen, the boss talks to you." At this time, someone from behind said softly.

Shangguan Jie seemed a little familiar when he heard this voice. When he looked back, he found that it was Lu Qi, the secretary of Hong Office. He was shocked. Although he had never had the opportunity to meet Premier Hong alone, he was lucky enough to be received by Premier Hong during the last time, so he had a very impression of Lu Qi, the secretary of Hong Office.

In Shangguan Jie's opinion, Lu Qi is young and beautiful, and has an important position. Although her level is not high, she can often be with her leaders. The energy in her hands cannot be said to be very large. Unfortunately, such a person is difficult to get close to. Even if he has ideas about Lu Qi, it is difficult to do. Unless Lu Qi himself falls in love with him, there are still some possibilities.

Although Shangguan Jie is not a businessman in the simple sense, there is also great resistance to dealing with Hong Office’s secretary.

For the Prime Minister's safety, the living problems of these staff members around the Prime Minister are also subject to certain restrictions. At least it is impossible to live a very satisfactory life, and there are still some rules and regulations.

Therefore, although Shangguan Jie had some thoughts about Lu Qi, he was worried that he had no chance. Now he was shocked to see Lu Qi coming to find Chen Mingluo in person, and said that the boss was talking to him.

There is naturally only one person who can make Lu Qi the boss, and that is undoubtedly Premier Hong.

Premier Hong actually asked Chen Mingluo to speak. What does this mean?!

After hearing Lu Qi's words, Chen Mingluo nodded, greeted Shangguan Jie, and left with Lu Qi.

Shangguan Jie sat there and felt that today was a coincidence. He just handed Chen Mingluo a piece of cake. Even if the two of them had a friendship, if they contacted each other more in the future, they might really gain something.

Although Shangguan Jie's family also has high-ranking officials, they are just deputy ministerial level. He is in the business world and has some reputation, but it is still much worse than those top families. It is still very beneficial to be able to interact with these upstarts.

He took out Chen Mingluo's business card again, looked carefully, and then put it back. He thought that he had not been in vain today. He seemed to have met a super-defying person, especially because the other party was so young and had great potential for development.

Shangguan Jie has made up his mind to contact Chen Mingluo more. This opportunity is rare.

In fact, when he came here this time, he didn't have any extravagance, just thinking about the gangster's faces being familiar.

He has no good feelings for the New Year tea party. In fact, every year when the Spring Festival approaches, most departments and units hold tea party parties. In the relaxed and pleasant conversation, looking back and summarizing past experiences and lessons, and looking forward to the new year with confidence is originally a very meaningful thing.

However, in recent years, this kind of symposium with a cup of tea has exposed many ills that have made the public angry.

Relevant departments hold tea parties every year to talk to representatives from all walks of life and listen to the people's voices. It should be said that this is still very necessary. But the problem is that many tea parties have become end-of-year dramas that flatter power. The main leaders are like singers who are stubborn, running around, and the administrative costs waste for this are obviously not a small amount.

In theory, tea party should be an easy and casual form of gathering, and there is no need to stick to some cumbersome procedures and content. But in reality, this is not the case. Generally, the leader first reads the text and says a lot of official words, clichés and correct nonsense, and then lets the representatives of the masses make impromptu speeches mainly based on praise.

At the end, the leaders of the competent department will give some important etiquette instructions. After a few rounds of applause, there will be little time left for the participants to communicate with each other.

Holding a tea party and making some good tea to entertain guests from all walks of life, even if it costs a little more, it is reasonable.

However, in some places, tea talk is just a high-sounding excuse. Taking the opportunity to have a big banquet at restaurants and restaurants, and eating and drinking has long become a common phenomenon. Moreover, the organizer usually sends valuable souvenirs, or envelopes containing cash and consumption cards to express his feelings to leaders and related households who are full of food and food.

It is not difficult to imagine how much real money should be spent in such an extravagant and luxurious so-called tea party.

Shangguan Jie is a successful person with higher education abroad, and his family is also very well-founded. He is quite disgusted with these formalisms that are welcomed and sent to the officialdom, especially his praising in the officialdom.

However, it is still possible to make friends with some influential young people. After all, this is related to the future development of their family and must be treated with caution.
