Chapter 245 Let’s have a drink
There were eight tables for the banquet, and the steel mill workers sat at two tables.
Wang Lifa stayed beside Mo Qingyou.
When the dishes were served, Mo Qingyou said that they would only eat and not drink today, as he had to work when he got home.
The leader has set the tone of not drinking, and the people below cannot drink either.
Everyone was concentrating on eating.
Until the old policeman revealed Mei Yubo's identity.
Mo Qingyou was shocked.
Chen Jianye’s elder is actually the director of the Public Security Bureau. What the hell is going on?
If there weren't so many people present, Mo Qingyou would have wanted to pull Chen Jianye aside to ask him, "Your elder is the director of the Public Security Bureau, why are you here in the fitter class to file parts?"
There is no better job than being a fitter.
Wang Lifa, Hu Nanpeng and others also had dazed expressions on their faces.
Before Chen Tuntian was alive, I had never heard him mention that the Chen family had such a powerful relative.
Where did this Public Security Bureau chief come from?
Moreover, as the elder of the Chen family, he sat in the chief seat.
Even if Chen Jianye's parents are no longer around, this position should be occupied by Chen's uncles.
Is Chen Jianye so close to the Public Security Bureau Chief?
"Has Comrade Chen Jianye ever mentioned him...his relatives before?"
Mo Qingyou asked Wang Lifa who was sitting next to him with a smile.
"No, not a word."
"Don't even mention Jianye. I never heard him mention it when Chen Tuntian was here."
Wang Lifa replied with a look of surprise.
"Chen Jianye has such a great elder, it's a waste of his talent to work in the locksmith class."
Mo Qingyou chuckled.
"Of course not. If I were him, I would definitely go to the security department."
"It's easy to get a team leader position."
Wang Lifa agreed with his expression.
"Pour the wine."
Mo Qing glanced at Wang Lifa with displeasure.
Wang Lifa was stunned at first, then a look of joy appeared on his face.
The leader wants to drink.
He can drink some too.
There were many people like Mo Qingyou, who originally didn't plan to drink, but decided to have a couple of drinks after learning about Mei Yubo's identity.
For example, Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong and others.
They come back to the courtyard to eat at noon, and have to go back to work in the afternoon.
It's not good to let your colleagues smell it after drinking.
After knowing that Mei Yubo was the Public Security Bureau Chief, they no longer cared.
Outside the courtyard.
After the two policemen walked a few dozen meters, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, are we okay now?"
The young policeman was still a little nervous.
"It should be fine now. We listened to that young man and did a good job."
"That damn old woman, damn it, if I run into her, I'll give her two slaps in the face."
"It almost killed me."
The old policeman was furious.
This job almost buried me.
"In addition to slapping her twice, I also had to kick her twice."
"People who make reports without any reason will definitely not be good."
The young police officer was equally indignant.
The two of them complained a few words and were about to go back.
"Hey, why did you two come out?"
"Where is Chen Jianye?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
The two police officers turned around and saw Jia Zhang running out of the alley.
"How dare you look for us? We almost couldn't get out."
The old policeman growled with a fierce look on his face.
"You almost killed me."
The young policeman looked at Jia Zhang with sidelong glances.
Although the two men wanted to beat Jia Zhang just now, it was just a momentary impulse.
They were wearing uniforms and could not beat the people at will.
Even if they want to beat him, they have to drag him to the interrogation room in the police station.
"That's nonsense. Aren't you two police officers? You have guns on you. How can you be afraid of Chen Jianye?"
Jia Zhang looked unconvinced.
"Then go back and take a look yourself."
The old policeman turned his eyes and encouraged.
He deliberately asked Jia Zhang to go back to the courtyard to check the situation. If the groom was smart, he would definitely be able to deduce that it was Jia Zhang who was behind it.
"Why should I go back? I still have to go to work."
Jia Zhang didn't fall for it. After mumbling something, she asked, "You two have been in there for quite a while. What did you do?"
"Why didn't you bring Chen Jianye out?"
"If you want to know, why don't you go back and ask yourself?"
The old policeman was too lazy to say anything more and just walked forward.
"Hey, don't leave. I reported Chen Jianye, and you guys just left him alone."
Jia Zhang shouted in a low voice.
"Who cares?"
The old policeman cursed and quickened his pace.
"Hey, why are you still swearing? Stop right there."
Jia Zhang stamped her feet in anger.
But they didn’t dare to really fight with the police.
Watching the two police officers walk away, Jia Zhang stamped her feet and decided to go back to the steel mill first.
I'll ask Qin Huairu what's going on in the hospital when I get back from get off work.
In the courtyard.
"Director Mei, I'm the third uncle in the hospital. I teach at Red Star Primary School."
"I watched Jianye grow up. He is a simple, kind-hearted and ambitious child. I am very happy that he is getting married today."
"It would be a great honor for our courtyard if you could come to the banquet."
Yan Fugui held the wine glass and said a lot of things in a very eloquent manner.
He was the type who came over to toast and to gain something to talk about later.
Later, he boasted to his teachers at school that he had drunk with the police chief.
Everyone in the compound was watching, he wasn't just bragging.
"Jianye asked you elders to take care of him before, and I'll ask you to take good care of him and his wife in the future."
Mei Yubo sat down and picked up the wine glass.
"That is required."
Yan Fugui bent down to toast.
Mei Yubo took a sip and Yan Fugui left with satisfaction.
Next Liu Haizhong joined in the fun.
The two tables filled with steel mill workers were getting increasingly impatient.
"Director Mo, I'm going to go and toast Director Mei first, as an example?"
Wang Lifa asked in a questioning tone.
"If you want to go, just go ahead. Why ask me?"
Mo Qingyou spoke in a casual tone.
"Okay, I'll go."
Wang Lifa stood up.
As the man’s superior at work, it is reasonable to offer a glass to his family elders.
Wang Lifa is not afraid of being accused of currying favor with the powerful.
Of course, he didn't go to toast alone, but called other people from the fitter class.
Several veteran fitters including Hu Nanpeng.
"Director Mei, I am Wang Lifa, the elder brother of Jianye. I would like to offer you a glass of wine."
Wang Lifa came to Chen Jianye's table holding a wine glass.
"Squad leader, if you want to toast, I must join you."
Chen Jianye stood up and raised his glass.
When others toasted Uncle Mei, Chen Jianye pretended not to see it, but when Wang Lifa toasted him, Chen Jianye had to express his opinion.
Wang Lifa is indeed a very good big brother.
"Jianye, you are such a secretive kid. You have a relative like Director Mei, but he didn't even listen to a word you said."
"If I hadn't attended your banquet, I wouldn't have known it would have happened in a few years."
Wang Li laughed.
This may seem like a joke, but it actually helps Chen Jianye.
He also told Mei Yubo that Chen Jianye never mentioned a word about the relationships behind him at work.
Powerful people are generally wary of their relatives doing evil things in their name.
"Jianye will still need your care in the future. He is young and has little work experience. He needs your support and guidance to grow."
Mei Yubo remained seated, raising his glass and saying some polite words.
"Director Mei, although I was the one who brought Jianye up, I can't teach him anything now."
"To be honest, his locksmith skills are better than mine. I'll have to ask him to teach me from now on."
Wang Lifa said with a laugh.
Mei Yubo showed a smile on his face and took a sip.
Wang Lifa and others finished their drinks and returned to their tables.
