Si Shengjie guided Li Youwei and Qiao Liang to the single room, opened the door, and everyone inside stood up, smiling.

Wen Yuan came over a few steps, took the initiative to shake hands with Li Youwei, and said enthusiastically: "Old Li, you haven't come to the newspaper for a long time. Not only me, but everyone misses you. So, I'll call all the members of the Party Committee to accompany you."

Wen Yuan lacked enough confidence and confidence in facing Li Youwei alone tonight, so he simply brought all the members of the Party Committee to give him courage.

Li Youwei shook hands and greeted everyone with a smile. Everyone looked at Li Youwei who was standing up again in the business world after being frustrated in the officialdom, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then Wen Yuan sat at the host and asked Li Youwei to sit at the host and then asked Qiao Liang to sit at the deputy host and Qiao Liang waved his hand: "You are all my old leaders, how can I sit there? If I can't do it, I'd better sit with Director Si."

As he said that, Qiao Liang sat next to Si Shengjie.

Seeing Qiao Liang being humble, Wen Yuan no longer insisted and then ordered Si Shengjie to ask the waiter to serve the wine and food.

Looking at everyone present, Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh that the former members of the newspaper's party committee were all together, but when everyone had dinner, Li Youwei was the boss, but now it was Wenyuan and Li Youwei became a guest.

Of course, I am the one who becomes a guest. In the past, I was busy serving dinner parties inside and outside, but now it is Si Shengjie.

The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces have changed. Qiao Liang sighed slightly in his heart.

Soon the wine and food were served, the dishes were very rich and the wine was very high-end. Si Shengjie was holding the bottle and was about to pour wine for Li Youwei, but Li Youwei said, "Director Si, pour it for President Wen first."

Wen Yuan hurriedly said, "Hey, this is not something you can do. Lao Li, you are a distinguished guest today, so how can you pour me wine first?"

Li Youwei smiled and said, "As soon as I change my identity, I become a guest. Why do I think it's funny?"

Everyone looked at each other, and didn't know how to respond to Li Youwei's words, and they didn't smile naturally.

Wen Yuan said in his heart, damn, if you don’t be a guest today, will you still have to be a master? A joke, if I hadn’t asked you for your request today, you wouldn’t have the chance to come here to drink.

Pour the good wine, Wen Yuan picked up the wine glass: "Old Li, welcome to the newspaper as a guest. All the members of the Party Committee here today are your former colleagues. Everyone is very happy to hear that you are coming."

Everyone raised their glasses and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes."

Li Youwei looked at these former deputys and mixed feelings and said slowly: "I still remember a down-and-out person in the officialdom like me. Thank you for your arrogance to me, Li Youwei. I am ashamed. I did not set an example and made you disappointed and joked..."

Wen Yuan interrupted Li Youwei: "Hey, Lao Li, I won't mention the past. Let's look forward. You are now the president of Zhengtai Group. Everyone is not only pleased with you today, but also envious."

"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded again.

Li Youwei smiled faintly: "I hope everyone can learn from my affairs, be a good official, be a good person, come and do it--"

"Do—" Everyone did it together.

After three cups, the atmosphere at the table became lively. Everyone toasted Li Youwei, each with their own thoughts, laughing with sincerity or forced smiles, and saying heartfelt or insincere words, Li Youwei drank them all.

"Director Qiao, I'll toast you." Si Shengjie toasted Qiao Liang with a flattering smile.

Qiao Liang and Si Shengjie clinked their glasses: "Director Si[     www.sbiquge.xyz], you are a man, I respect you."

"Where are you, you are the leader of the ministry, I should respect you." Si Shengjie complimented.

Seeing Si Shengjie's humble appearance, Wen Yuan was unhappy. Damn, this kid seemed to be cursing Qiao Liang.

I also thought of the teasing I was in Qiao Liang's office at noon today, and I couldn't help but feel angry. One day, I must find an opportunity to repair this bastard so that he can know the serious consequences of teasing me.

Of course, but at today's wine table, I still have to treat Qiao Liang well, and Li Youwei is there.

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan raised his glass to look at Qiao Liang and said happily: "Director Qiao, come, let's have a drink."

Qiao Liang stood up respectfully and clinked glasses with Wen Yuan: "Mr. Wen, I respect you."

"Haha, respect each other, respect each other." Wen Yuan drank, and Qiao Liang also did it.

Everyone saw Wen Yuan toasted Qiao Liang and knew that he was for Li Youwei to see.

Everyone already knows that a large number of business backbones of the newspaper were about to resign and join the Zhengtai Group. They guessed that Wen Yuan invited Li Youwei to dinner tonight. Although he did not want to participate in the restaurant and interfere with this matter, because Wen Yuan was the host of the newspaper, he had to come.

Everyone understands that Li Youwei takes the absolute initiative in this matter. It is no exaggeration to say whether Wenyuan's position is stable and whether the newspaper's future development is stable depends on Li Youwei's words.

Qiao Liang is Li Youwei's personal favorite. After Li Youwei's accident, Wen Yuan punished Qiao Liang so badly. If he was a little negligent about Qiao Liang today and angered Li Youwei, Wen Yuan would have wasted all his efforts and wait for trouble.

Now we cannot speculate on Li Youwei's psychology. I wonder if he will let Wen Yuan go. After all, the two have fought hard in the newspaper for so many years. After all, after Li Youwei's accident, Wen Yuan suppressed and rectified a large number of Li Youwei's old subordinates. If anyone else was Li Youwei, he would be resentful about this matter.

Everyone thought so, and Wen Yuan was no exception. He was uneasy at this moment, and while drinking as if nothing had happened, he looked at Li Youwei carefully.

After a while, Li Youwei brought wine and drank three glasses with everyone, he looked at everyone calmly and said: "I think there should be two meanings for the dinner arranged by President Wen tonight. One is that everyone has not seen each other for a long time, and we gather together to warm up. On this point, I am very grateful to President Wen. It is rare that President Wen still cares about me."

Wen Yuan laughed and said, "Old Li, this is what it should be, it is necessary."

Li Youwei continued: "Secondly, I believe everyone knows that after Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun resigned to Zhengtai Group, 15 business backbones in the newspaper's business department were going to resign and join Zhengtai Group..."

When Wen Yuan heard Li Youwei's words, he felt nervous and looked at Li Youwei with fear.

Everyone also looked at Li Youwei.

Seeing Wen Yuan's fearful look, Qiao Liang wanted to laugh in his heart.

Li Youwei continued: "I believe everyone understands what consequences this group of business backbones will bring to the newspaper's business operations. Mr. Wen should be more clear about it in his heart."

Everyone nodded, and Wen Yuan nodded, his heart was up and down.

"So, I think this should be the main purpose of Mr. Wen's invitation to me for dinner." Li Youwei smiled slightly.

Everyone looked at Wen Yuan, and Wen Yuan looked embarrassed and said in a pleading tone: "Old Li, please give me a lot of this matter. I hope you can help me with the friendship between everyone's old friends."

Li Youwei said bluntly: "Mr. Wen is so bad. In fact, everyone knows that you and I have been fighting secretly in the newspaper for many years. What kind of relationship do you have?"

"This..." Wen Yuan became more and more embarrassed and secretly scolded Li Youwei for being ungrateful.
