The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 270 Director Qin, you're not giving me any face!

Eight people.

There were eight people eating, including Qin Chuan.

As the county party secretary, Zhang Huaiyuan naturally sat in the head seat, with Qin Chuan to his right.

Sitting at the end were Gao Zhiyuan and the Minister of the Organization Department.

At this dinner party, even the secretary, Sun Hongfa, was not allowed to sit at the table.

So Gao Zhiyuan and the head of the organization department became the waiters at the dinner table.

This is a habit of Zhang Huaiyuan's when he eats; he never lets the waiters come in to serve him.

Whoever sits at the end of the table is responsible for serving tea and water.

Actually, if things were done according to rank today, Qin Chuan would definitely be sitting at the bottom.

After all, Zhang Huaiyuan, who was present, was a deputy director-general, and the other deputy directors were all deputy division chiefs, while the directors of two other departments were all section chiefs.

But tonight's events were clearly not conducted according to rank, at least not for Qin Chuan.

"Director Qin, you've just been discharged from the hospital. I was wondering if you're still able to drink alcohol?"

Gao Zhiyuan's posture was extremely humble.

Although he had no direct connection to Li Longfei's case, Gao Zhiyuan couldn't sit still after a deputy director of the Finance Bureau was arrested.

"Old Gao, Director Qin has been shot, I think he should just have a drink."

At this moment, Jia Tianming showed no airs of a bureau chief.

He had originally eased tensions with Qin Chuan because of Vice Governor Yang Jinguo.

Because if things change again, Jia Tianming might even go further.

But things are different now. Whether things can go further is unknown, and Jia Tianming's affair is not without flaws.

The director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau was arrested yesterday; he is his brother-in-law.

He knew he couldn't save his brother-in-law, and he didn't even intend to, but his brother-in-law had his own business to attend to.

"Director Jia, you're too kind. I'll drink whatever you leaders want. The gun is ready. Thank you all for your concern."

Qin Chuan's words made Jia Tianming beam with joy, which meant that he was being given face.

Giving him face means that Jia Tianming will probably be fine.

Gao Zhiyuan immediately came over to pour wine for Qin Chuan.

As for Zhang Huaiyuan, another head of the organization department had already gone to pour him some wine.

After Qin Chuan entered the room, he scanned everyone with his Eye of Evil.

Jia Tianming and Gao Zhiyuan hadn't really done anything serious; they were just collecting a little money.

Zhang Huaiyuan and Qin Chuan were also quite clear that he was indeed a rare incorruptible official.

He himself is not greedy for money, and although his son makes some money, it is all done through legitimate channels.

Moreover, Zhang Huaiyuan didn't even engage in a single power-for-sex transaction.

If I told you, probably no one would believe me.

Since Qin Chuan chose to drink, the atmosphere naturally became more relaxed, with Zhang Huaiyuan taking the lead.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's banquet is specially to welcome our Director Qin."

Zhang Huaiyuan didn't put on airs like a county party secretary.

"The cracking of Li Longfei's criminal gang was entirely due to the efforts of Director Qin Chuan, which laid a very good foundation for the economic development of Ping'an County."

"I propose we toast Director Qin with our first drink!"

Even Zhang Huaiyuan addressed him as "Director Qin" repeatedly, so the others naturally dared not be negligent and immediately stood up to offer their toasts.

Qin Chuan accepted all the toasts and gave Zhang Huaiyuan plenty of face. The subsequent drinking session gradually turned into a state of everyone toasting each other.

Zhang Huaiyuan was the first to offer a toast, and Qin Chuan drank it all. Jia Tianming was the second to offer a toast, and Qin Chuan also drank it all. But when it was the third person's turn...

When Zhang Jun, the secretary of the county's political and legal affairs committee, was speaking, Qin Chuan did not raise his glass.

"Secretary Zhang, you've had a few drinks in a row, you're a little tipsy."

Qin Chuan's excuse... doesn't even sound like an excuse.

When you were drinking with Zhang Huaiyuan earlier, you didn't say you were feeling tipsy, but when the county political and legal committee secretary came to offer you a toast, you said you were feeling tipsy and didn't want to drink anymore.

What do you mean?

Zhang Jun's face flushed red instantly.

As the secretary of the county's Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I'm a very influential figure in Ping'an County.

Now they're groveling to offer you a toast, a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and you actually say you won't drink!

If it had been a week ago, and Qin Chuan had dared to refuse him like that, Zhang Jun felt he would have ripped the crap out of him.

But now...

Zhang Jun is not stupid.

Qin Chuan has always seemed very easygoing, so why won't he drink with me?

After returning to their seats, the others couldn't say anything.

Qin Chuan said he's gotten tipsy, so will the people behind him still offer him drinks?

"Alright, alright, Director Qin, take a rest, take a rest, haha!"

Zhang Jun gave himself an out by turning around and clinking glasses with Jia Tianming.

"Come here, Political Commissar Gao, I have received a lot of support from Political Commissar Gao and Director Jia during my stay in Ping'an County."

After Zhang Jun and Jia Tianming finished drinking, Qin Chuan immediately got up and went to Gao Zhiyuan's side to clink glasses with him.

The moment it was touched, the whole table fell silent.

Is Qin Chuan intentionally targeting Zhang Jun?

Zhang Jun's face was extremely pale.

However, with Zhang Huaiyuan present, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to lose his temper directly.

"Secretary, I drank a little too quickly just now and I'm not feeling well. I'm going to the restroom."

After asking Zhang Huaiyuan for leave, Zhang Jun glanced at Qin Chuan and left without looking back.

If you don't give me face, am I supposed to pay you extra?

Qin Chuan didn't even look at the other person. After finishing his drink with Gao Zhiyuan, he took the initiative to clink glasses with the people behind him.

After going around once, when I sat down next to Zhang Huaiyuan again, the other person was chatting quietly.

"Zhang Jun... offended you?"

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Secretary, I'm a very easygoing person and don't hold grudges. It would be better if he really offended me."

"Have you heard about the intern at the procuratorate who jumped off a building a year ago?"
