When we arrived at the hotel, everyone got off the bus, and Tang Xiaofei led the way to the restaurant.

Qiao Liang and Zhang Haitao walked behind. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xiaofei's back and then subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Haitao, with confusion and doubt in his eyes.

Zhang Haitao noticed it, smiled at Qiao Liang, and then patted his shoulder.

"Secretary-General, what's going on with this person?" Qiao Liang raised his hand and pointed at Tang Xiaofei in front of him, lowering his voice.

Although Qiao Liang probably judged that Tang Xiaofei was Tang Shusen's remnant at this time, because of Tang Xiaofei's performance and Zhang Haitao's attitude towards her, he still wanted to ask.

Zhang Haitao did not answer Qiao Liang's words, but said loudly: "Director Qiao, not only do you have to drink well tonight, but you also have to protect me. You can't let me drink too much. The guys from the Water Conservancy Bureau are all very good at drinking..."

Qiao Liang was stunned. He was asking Zhang Haitao what he said, why didn't this guy hear it?

Tang Xiaofei then turned around and smiled at Zhang Haitao: "Secretary-General, I will give you a few cups later, so you are not allowed to shirk responsibility."

"Okay, don't shirk responsibility. Anyway, Director Qiao is here tonight, so he can drink very well. I can't drink him for me." Zhang Haitao said happily.

Tang Xiaofei glanced at Qiao Liang, then looked at Zhang Haitao, and said with a smile: "Some wines, Director Qiao can replace them, but some wines, I'm afraid Director Qiao cannot replace them."

Zhang Haitao laughed, Qiao Liang was thinking about Tang Xiaofei's words, Damn, what does this woman mean? I can't replace the wine? The biggest leader of this dinner is Zhang Haitao, and there are wines that I can't replace?

Qiao Liang's confusion and doubts were even greater. Tang Xiaofei spoke in a very tone. If she was really the remnant of Tang Shusen, Tang Shusen would be finished. Not to mention that she would not have the energy she is now, she would not be qualified to attend this dinner tonight, but now...

Qiao Liang couldn't help but waver in his judgment just now. Could it be that Tang Xiaofei is not the remnant of Tang Shusen? It's just a coincidence that the same surname as Tang Shusen?

If so, what is Tang Xiaofei's identity? If it weren't for Tang Shusen's remnants, why should she behave like this to him?

Qiao Liang's thinking was a little confused for a while and was unsure for a while.

Soon, he arrived at the door of the single room of the restaurant. Tang Xiaofei pushed open the door and nodded at Zhang Haitao: "Secretary General Zhang, please--"

When Tang Xiaofei spoke, she only looked at Zhang Haitao, but never looked at Qiao Liang. It seemed that the only leader she came to pick up was Zhang Haitao, who completely ignored Qiao Liang's existence.

After this deal on the road, Qiao Liang quickly adapted to Tang Xiaofei's attitude towards him, and secretly sneered, "Don't you have to be arrogant and rude to me now, and you must kneel under my pomegranate pants in the future."

Zhang Haitao nodded and was about to walk in, when the people inside had already come out. Chang Dahe was walking in front, behind him was a deputy director and the director of the bureau office.

As soon as I saw them, Qiao Liang knew that those who attended the dinner tonight were people who were close to Chang Dahe. There were only one deputy directors in the bureau. Obviously, he was Chang Dahe's own person, let alone the office director.

In this way, so did Tang Xiaofei.

Chang Dahe shook hands with Zhang Haitao respectfully, and then held Qiao Liang's hand enthusiastically, and smiled slightly exaggeratedly: "Hey, Director Qiao, welcome, warm welcome."

In Qiao Liang's impression, Chang Dahe had an eternal smile on his face, no matter when he met his superiors or subordinates, but in front of his superiors, there was respect and humility in his smile, in front of his generals, there was enthusiasm and ease in his smile, and in front of his subordinates, there was some perfunctory and socializing in his smile.

A simple smile was fully demonstrated by Chang Dahe. Qiao Liang felt that this guy was a smiling tiger with rich connotations.

After shaking hands with Chang Dahe, Qiao Liang shook hands with the deputy director and the office director, they shook hands with each other and greeted Qiao Liang. The office director was of lower level than Qiao Liang, so naturally this was the case. The deputy director and Qiao Liang were on the same level and were much older than Qiao Liang, but he was also like this. Obviously, he was very self-aware and knew that in front of the young Qiao Liang, the value of his own body was not comparable to Qiao Liang.

Tang Xiaofei stood beside him and looked at the attitude of the deputy director and the office director towards Qiao Liang. She couldn't help but curl her lips, and a hint of slander and disgust flashed in her eyes.

Tang Xiaofei's subtle movements and expressions were all in Qiao Liang's eyes. Qiao Liang was very curious about Tang Xiaofei at this time. He subconsciously felt that if Tang Xiaofei was not a remnant of Tang Shusen, he should have a certain background. Not only the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau valued it very much, but Zhang Haitao also cared about it. Otherwise, as Tang Xiaofei's identity in the bureau, a head of the Water Administration Department and an ordinary middle-level member, what qualifications and reasons do he have to attend this dinner tonight?

After this analysis, Qiao Liang developed a strong interest in Tang Xiaofei, which mainly comes from her identity.

Then everyone entered the room, Chang Dahe invited Zhang Haitao and Qiao Liang to sit, Zhang Haitao sat at the host, Qiao Liang sat at the deputy host, and Chang Dahe sat at the host to accompany him.

According to the unwritten dinner rules in the circle, the deputy director should sit by the deputy director, and then the office director sits under Zhang Haitao and Tang Xiaofei sits under Qiao Liang.

Unexpectedly, the deputy director looked at Chang Dahe: "I caught a cold today. I just took medicine and didn't dare to drink too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the two leaders. I'd better ask one of them to accompany the deputy director." After that, he pointed to the office director and Tang Xiaofei.

The deputy director's words surprised Qiao Liang. Damn, according to the rules, you are the unscrupulous deputy head accompaniment. If you have a cold, you can't help sitting in this position. At worst, you can just drink a few less drinks. Zhang Haitao and himself don't understand, so why should you give up this deputy head accompaniment?

Qiao Liang felt something intuition. He glanced at Zhang Haitao. His expression was very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Liang looked at Chang Dahe again. He felt that Chang Dahe would not agree to the request of the deputy director. If he did not serve as the deputy director, the level of the deputy director was reduced, which showed disrespect for the leader.

Chang Dahe glanced at the deputy director with admiration, and then looked at Zhang Haitao happily: "Secretary-General, look..."

Zhang Haitao frowned: "This is your business, why do I ask me? In fact, tonight, we will gather together. What is the main and the deputy? There is no need to be so particular, just relax at will..."

Although Zhang Haitao said he didn't need to ask himself, he obviously made a statement and answer.

Chang Dahe nodded, then looked at the office director and Tang Xiaofei.

The office director is a clever man. As soon as the deputy director said that just now, he had intuition. He looked at the deputy director's admiring look and then understood something. He then said, "Since that's the case, I suggest that Section Chief Tang be the deputy director accompany him. First, Section Chief Tang drinks well and can drink more drinks with the leader. Second, there is a lady on our table. We must show respect for women and improve the status of lesbians..."

When the office director said this, everyone laughed. The deputy director agreed repeatedly. Chang Dahe nodded. Tang Xiaofei was happy, but refused: "Oh, no, no, this place is my youngest, most experienced, the lowest level, and where is I qualified to sit in that position."

Zhang Haitao said: "Xiaofei, since everyone agrees, I have no objection. I think you should not refuse. Go over and sit down to improve the status of lesbians, starting from the dinner and starting from now on..."

After Zhang Haitao said this, he decided. Tang Xiaofei smiled and said, "Okay, since all the leaders are so proud, I would be more respectful than obedient."

Then Tang Xiaofei sat down with the deputy director, the deputy director sat down below Zhang Haitao, and the office director sat down below Qiao Liang.

According to the logical thinking of normal people within the system, the impossible phenomenon happened under Qiao Liang's nose.

This is in line with the saying that novels should be higher than reality, and reality is always more exciting than novels. What happens in reality will never be imagined or impossible.

Qiao Liang was smiling and looking at everything in front of him, constantly thinking in his heart that Tang Xiaofei's ability to be a deputy host tonight seemed to be related to the informal and non-working nature of the dinner party tonight. If it was a serious and serious work dinner party, it would not be like this. In such an occasion, it seemed that everyone was consciously pampering Tang Xiaofei, and Zhang Haitao seemed to have some consent to this.

Well, it's interesting, a little interesting. Qiao Liang nodded secretly.

Then the waiter started pouring wine and serving the dishes, which were served with high-quality white wine and red wine. The deputy director and Tang Xiaofei drank red wine. The others drank white wine, and poured the wine with a goblet of three taels.

Then Chang Dahe looked at Zhang Haitao: "Old leader, is it still the same rule?"

On such occasions, Chang Dahe calls Zhang Haitao as an old leader, which is naturally more intimate than calling him a position.

Zhang Haitao nodded: "Okay, white wine is as usual, red wine is as casual."

Tang Xiaofei smiled and said, "Secretary-General, I protest, lesbians cannot say casually when drinking."

Zhang Haitao laughed: "Yes, Xiaofei said it right, you can't say it casually, you can't say it casually."

Everyone chuckled, and Qiao Liang couldn't help asking: "Your old rule for drinking white wine is..."

Chang Dahedao: "Director Qiao, the old rule is that I would like to pay tribute to you three times, and then everyone will kill this glass of wine together."

Qiao Liang nodded, and Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang: "Director Qiao, this way of drinking is not difficult for you, right?"

"It's okay, I'm following you tonight anyway. Let's drink whatever you are happy." Qiao Liang said.

Zhang Haitao corrected: "I'm not happy alone. Since it's a weekend, it's better for everyone to be happy."

"Yes, what the old leader said is very true, everyone is happy." Chang Dahe raised his wine glass, "Come on, it's rare that the old leader and Director Qiao have time to have dinner with us on the weekend. Thank you for your appreciation. This first glass of wine, I wish the old leader and Director Qiao good health and a happy weekend..."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip, then ate the dishes. Chang Dahe said to Qiao Liang while eating, "Director Qiao, what a coincidence, when you called me to ask for the ingredients a few days ago, I said I took the time to invite you to the bureau for dinner, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

When Qiao Liang heard Chang Dahe's words, he felt a little nervous. Damn, the matter of asking for materials must be kept confidential, but Chang Dahe said it directly. In front of these people, especially Zhang Haitao, it didn't seem very fun.

Qiao Liang laughed: "Yes, it's a coincidence, but I'm benefiting from the Secretary-General."

Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang and asked casually: "What materials did you want from Director Dahe?"

When Zhang Haitao asked this, Qiao Liang became even more nervous and complained secretly.
