"Director Chen, let me introduce you to the president who is the president of Entertainment and a famous director and actor, Lin Zhimo!" Yuan Delong pointed at Lin Zhimo with a smile and said to a man around him who was about fifty years old.

Director Chen showed a smile on his calm face, nodded slightly to Lin Zhimo, and said lightly: "I know, Mr. Lin Zhimo's reputation in China is well-known."

After hearing Director Chen's words, Lin Zhimo's heart suddenly sank, and he felt that this meeting would probably be disappointed. However, although the enthusiasm in his heart gradually became cold, he still showed a warm smile on his face: "Director Chen's words have ruined me. No matter how famous I am, Director Chen, you are in charge of our power of life and death."

Director Chen nodded arrogantly, turned his head and stopped looking at Lin Zhimo, but said to Yuan Delong: "Old Yuan, how is the rehearsal of this Spring Festival Gala?"

A trace of gloom flashed in Yuan Delong's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Director Chen, don't worry, this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely not make any mistakes."

Director Chen is the new director who became the three-time director that Yuan Delong said a few days ago. He said that the director was actually the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. However, regardless of the chief and deputy, he was always a real department-level cadre. The most important thing is that he also supervised his subordinate film review team, which played a decisive role in whether the film could pass the review.

However, Yuan Delong is a cadre of CCTV. Although CCTV is nominally a subordinate agency of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the director is even more entitled to the title of Deputy Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. However, CCTV is also directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Propaganda Department, and has a series of extremely independent rights such as the right to review its own programs. Therefore, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television only has such a name, but does not instruct CCTV's strength.

Just now, Director Chen asked Yuan Delong how he prepared for the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, it can be considered a cross-border approach, which is a big taboo in the officialdom. But Director Chen, who has been an official for decades, really doesn't know this taboo? He naturally knew it. The reason why he asked this was nothing more than to express his attitude, that is, it is impossible for Lin Zhimo's movie to pass the review.

Even Lin Zhimo, a person who is not involved in the officialdom, can understand what Director Chen’s words meant, and Yuan Delong, the old man, understands it even more thoroughly, but even if he understands it, the two still dare not express disrespectfully at all. After all, if they are evil with Director Chen now, then in the future, unless Lin Zhimo is not in the entertainment industry, Director Chen will say a casual word, countless people will rush to wear small shoes for Lin Zhimo.

"Director Chen, you are taking time to attend this party in your busy schedule. I am deeply grateful. I will do it first. You can do it as you please!" Lin Zhimo was dissatisfied with his heart and hoped that the sooner the dinner would end, the better. The way to end as soon as possible without angering the other party is undoubtedly to drink wine. As long as Director Chen is drunk, everything will be over.

Although he didn't care about Lin Zhimo's toast at all, he still had to give some face to Yuan Delong, a veteran of CCTV. So he nodded, raised his glass and took a sip, and drank about one-fifth of it.

As the saying goes, deep feelings are boring. Although this sentence is vulgar, the truth is very clear. How much others toast you can fully reflect your attitude.

Now Director Chen just drank a little, which shows that the other party has drawn a clear line with Lin Zhimo.

Seeing this, Yuan Delong no longer had so much enthusiasm in his smile. After all, he was not directly under Director Chen's jurisdiction. Director Chen could not even play with him in his great power. However, when he saw Lin Zhimo who drank all the wine in the glass, Yuan Delong still suppressed his dissatisfaction.

"Director Chen, I have no use to congratulate you this time. I should be punished! I would like to wish you a glass." Yuan Delong squeezed out a smile, raised his glass and said.

Director Chen smiled slightly: "Old Yuan, you are just a dissatisfied with this sentence. You are an elder in terms of age, and you are far more than me in terms of working hours. Besides, you are CCTV and our General Administration. How can you respect me if you respect me?"

Even though he said so, Director Chen raised his wine glass.

Yuan Delong touched the other party gently and drank all the whole thing.

Director Chen also drank all the wine in the glass at once and said, "Old Yuan, I heard that your Master Li went down to inspect recently?"

Yuan Delong was slightly stunned, but he still smiled and said, "Director Chen, look at you, since we are out to drink, don't talk about work."

"You can't say that. Although our two units have a jurisdictional relationship, they are actually brother units. I naturally have to care about your work arrangements. Tell me quickly, what is the result of his inspection?" Director Chen did not care about Yuan Delong's opinion and waved his hand and said.

"This..." Yuan Delong wanted to stop talking, but he could not refute Director Chen's face, so he had to briefly describe it. After saying that, Yuan Delong wanted to bring the topic to Lin Zhimo's movie.

"Director Chen, I heard that the movie review in our bureau has been a bit strict recently?"

"Not mentioning that, no mentioning that." Director Chen picked up a piece of fish meat and his eyes lit up and said, "Old Yuan, if you try this fish, it tastes very good, it tastes similar to the one in the Bauhinia Garden."

Yuan Delong was helpless, who said that he was asking for help now, so he had to agree with him.

Next, Yuan Delong tried to bring the topic to Lin Zhimo again and again, but in the end, Director Chen was downplayed to other places, and Lin Zhimo's face became stiff even with a smile on the side.

What is the biggest insult to a person? It is not insult, not beating, but ignoring!

The biggest insult to the other party is that there is no other person in his eyes.

This is what Lin Zhimo is now. Although he always wanted to say something to Director Chen, the other party always talked to Yuan Delong on his own, and didn't even look at Lin Zhimo.

After three glasses of wine, Director Chen covered his mouth and said, "If you don't drink, don't drink anymore, you'll drink too much. You have to work in the afternoon."

Yuan Delong wanted to persuade him again, but saw Director Chen standing up and saying, "I'll go first to make it easier."

When Director Chen left the room, Lin Zhimo finally stopped smiling, sighed and placed the chopsticks on the table. He knew that today was completely out of luck.

Yuan Delong also put the wine bottle on the table and cursed: "What's the matter!"

Although he scolded, the result would not change. He said, "Zhimo, don't care. Since Director Chen is here to attend the dinner today, it means that there is still room for ease of relieving the matter. Let's treat him to a meal in a few days."

Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly and said, "I look at Xuan... Uncle Yuan, you have been wronged this time."

Lin Zhimo naturally knew that Yuan Delong was wronged today. Otherwise, although Director Chen's official position was one level higher than Yuan Delong, Yuan Delong belonged to CCTV. He could not ignore Director Chen's airs. The other party could not do anything to Yuan Delong. But today, because Yuan Delong was a lobbyist for Lin Zhimo, he had to put down his figure, so he was also angry.

Yuan Delong said unhappily: "Zhimo, what do you mean by this? Do we still need to say such words?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I was wrong. I was wrong!" Lin Zhimo clasped his hands and told him a mistake. Then he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it directly, and lit the bottom of the cup at Yuan Delong.

Yuan Delong knew that Lin Zhimo's alcohol tolerance was simply terrible, so he didn't stop it. He picked up a piece of meat and said, "Zhimo, eat vegetables quickly. If you spend money, you will suffer a loss!"

Lin Zhimo had no appetite at all now and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Yuan, how can I still eat now? I have no appetite!"

"You are still young! You don't have to be angry about such things. It's not worth it. We can't be wronged. We're not going to be wronged. We're not going to pay for our own money?" Yuan Delong said with a sip of wine.

Lin Zhimo thought about it, and he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door. It seemed that Director Chen was involved, so the two opened the door and looked out.

Director Chen, who was arrogant in the room just now, was bent down and following a man and shouting something loudly. The man he accompanied was faint and he was only concerned about walking his own way. It seemed that Director Chen should have accompanied the middle-aged man downstairs, and there were several people with the same smiling faces following behind the two.

Yuan Delong curled his lips slightly when he saw Director Chen's appearance, but when he saw the man in the middle clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Minister Zeng!"

At this time, Lin Zhimo also saw the appearance of the middle-aged man clearly, but when he saw the person coming, his face became strange.

Soon Director Chen accompanied the middle-aged man to the private room where they were just now. At this time, there was no Lin Zhimo in his eyes. He directly skipped him and said to Yuan Delong, who was completely stunned: "Old Yuan, we don't know that Minister Zeng is here. You have to help me persuade Minister Zeng to drink two more drinks."

Yuan Delong also reacted at this time and quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Hello, Minister Zeng, I am Yuan Delong from CCTV."

There are two possibilities for only reporting your own work unit but not reporting your status. One is that you are the top leader of the unit and do not need to report it; the other is that you are a low-level person and are not worthy of being told.

Now Yuan Delong undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

Although Director Chen asked Yuan Delong to invite Minister Zeng to drink, Yuan Delong would not take it seriously. After all, he knew that it was not easy to talk to Minister Zeng in his own status. If he still had to invite Minister Zeng without knowing the level of the matter, it would be too eye-catching.

Minister Zeng reached out and shook Yuan Delong gently, and then let go of his hand.

Director Chen naturally didn't care that Yuan Delong did not send an invitation, so when he saw Minister Zeng let go, he subconsciously stretched forward and led the way: "Minister Zeng, please come here."

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Minister Zeng was still standing there, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Smile? Minister Zeng actually laughed?" Director Chen's mouth was tilted in surprise, and his body still kept a slightly bowing posture and did not react.

Minister Zeng is not an ordinary person, but Zeng Mengquan, the executive vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department. Of course, if this is the case, Director Chen would not be so ruthless. The most important thing is that Zeng Mengquan has great potential to replace the position of Minister of the Central Propaganda Department, who is about to retire and become the next Minister of the Central Propaganda Department!

Even if you cannot become the next minister, it is said that you may be able to release a developed province to become the governor, or even the top leader of some remote provinces. That is a real prince. Faced with such a bright future, Director Chen could not help but want to leave a good impression on the other party.

Moreover, Minister Zeng always has a stern face and rarely sees a smile, but now he is smiling!

"Why, why did he laugh?" Director Chen was puzzled secretly, subconsciously followed the other party's eyes, and saw that Lin Zhimo, who had just been ignored by him and had not even said three words at the dinner table, was rubbing his hands and looking at Zeng Mengquan awkwardly.

"They know each other?"
