Chapter 238: Many people get drunk
At the dinner table, wine is naturally indispensable. These directors and deputy county magistrates may be the habit of being lavish in their daily lives, anyway, as long as they sign a name and hang up an account, they shouted to the waiter to come over, and as soon as they put on a few bottles of Moutai, they opened it with a smile.
Chang Ming reminded: "You guys take it easy, this is against the rules." "The meaning is obvious, it's to tell them not to drink so much.
But they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, waved their hands and said: "County Magistrate Chang, this is your private banquet, not counting public funds to eat and drink, it's okay." ”
Chang Ming was embarrassed for a while, and there was a fire in his stomach, but it was not good to have a seizure on the scene, so he pretended to be joking and said, "Do you still know that I was invited to the banquet?!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Director He, the old fox, came out to play a round again: "Oh, I said you, County Magistrate Chang meant, you should greet the guests well, don't leave them out in the cold." ”
Chang Ming just wanted to refute, but several deputy county magistrates suddenly stood up, and stretched out their glasses to Ouyang Lan and the others: "Come on, come on, several police officers from the city bureau, welcome to Ningzhou County, come, let's have a drink together." ”
Ouyang Lan excused himself and said, "Thank you, county magistrates, but we still have to handle the case tomorrow morning, and we can't drink." ”
Who knew that they insisted on drinking one, "It's okay, drink a little bit, and it's okay to get some sleep." ”
Before Ouyang Lan and the others refused, the deputy county magistrate Li and the deputy county magistrate Wang had already come behind them, pouring wine for the friends of the city bureau respectively, and the enthusiasm was filled with the aroma of wine.
The wine has not stopped, the two deputy county magistrates must toast with them, Ouyang Lan is not very good at drinking, but he can only stand up and raise his wine glass, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to drink, or I'll just take a sip." ”
Deputy County Magistrate Li is obviously a veteran of the wine field, and he talks one by one, saying that "all guests come from afar", "the opportunity is rare, give face" and so on, anyway, it is just a bunch of compliments, which makes Ouyang Lan embarrassed not to drink.
Seeing this, Chang Ming stopped: "Deputy County Magistrate Li, this Officer Ouyang can't drink, so don't force others." ”
"Hey, hey!" Deputy County Magistrate Li shook his finger and smiled: "County Magistrate Chang, they are your guests, you can't just let us accompany you, you also have to drink a few, come and come, and give County Magistrate Chang a full meal." ”
Director He stood up suddenly, picked up the bottle of Moutai in front of him, and poured it for Chang Ming.
"Enough is enough, I can't drink that much. Chang Ming looked at the wine that was slowly filling up in the cup, he was also a person who didn't know how to drink. When he first came to work here, he didn't know how to drink at all, so he couldn't play with other colleagues, and then the amount of alcohol gradually increased, and the amount of alcohol naturally went up, but it was limited to comparing with his previous self, compared with these wine veterans, he was still too tender.
Chang Ming's wine glass was also filled with wine, so everyone coaxed together and toasted together. Ouyang Lan usually can only drink beer, but this time with a small glass of white wine, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, but he still held on.
Ouyang Lan was catalyzed by alcohol, and the bold character in her bones was shown again, and she drank several glasses of toasts from the deputy county magistrates in a row, and she also helped Shu Yulin, another girl in the same class, block a few glasses.
Chang Ming's side, drinking more violently than Ouyang Lan, they coaxed Ouyang Lan to drink so much for a girl, you can't be compared to the head of a county, so they also drink one cup after another, sometimes the cup just took a sip, and it was filled again, and in the end, they couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, but fortunately they didn't say any nonsense.
I don't know how long the meal lasted, but when I was full of wine and food, and the gossip was about the same, everyone began to leave. Ouyang Lan couldn't walk steadily, and Deputy County Magistrate Li offered to help her, but was rejected by several other city bureau people, and it was another girl, Shu Yulin, who helped to support her.
The people from the city bureau live here tonight, Chang Ming came to the front desk to settle the bill, and took out his wallet for a long time, but because he was too drunk, he couldn't count the money clearly, and Director He on the side took this opportunity to immediately say: "County Magistrate Chang, or I'll come." After speaking, he closed Chang Ming's wallet, and then whispered to the front desk lady: "The money doesn't seem to be enough, it's still the same, let's hang the account." ”
"Okay. The front desk lady directly put this banquet on the account of the county government.
Chang Ming has been helped up by several other male policemen of the city bureau, but he still did not forget to advise: "Open a few rooms for the guests of the city bureau, let them have a good rest, and settle my account." ”
Director He was busy with the things at the front desk, returned to Chang Ming's side and promised: "Okay, okay, I will arrange it, County Magistrate Chang, you can also go back and rest, I have already called the driver to come and pick it up." ”
After a while, several special cars came at the same time, taking Chang Ming and several other deputy county magistrates back, and before leaving, Chang Ming also said goodbye to Ouyang Lan and others cordially.
All the people on the government side left, leaving only a few people from the city bureau, who went to the room to rest under the guidance of the waiter. After asking about Ouyang Lan's situation, those colleagues who were still awake made sure that there was no problem, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.
After Ouyang Lan walked into the room and locked the door, the first thing he did was to run to the bathroom to vomit the things in his stomach, and after drinking some water, he felt a lot more comfortable and sober. She continued to take a shower for herself, hot water poured over her swollen head and tired body, and suddenly felt like she had been reborn, the taste of drunkenness was too uncomfortable, and she still remembered that the last time she was drunk, she was with Liu Chen, and finally he carried her home.
She suddenly missed Liu Chen a little.
After taking a shower, she hid under the covers, took out her mobile phone, and found that there were several missed calls and unread messages, all of which were sent by Yang Ziming and other colleagues, but without Liu Chen, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
This county magistrate's banquet was not planned, and according to the normal situation, they had already begun to investigate in the cemetery, so Yang Ziming called to ask Ouyang Lan about the situation.
Ouyang Lan called back, and now she is much more sober, so she reported to Yang Ziming in detail what happened in Ningzhou County today. Yang Ziming didn't blame them for delaying things, after all, the other party was the county magistrate, and this face must be given. He just told Ouyang Lan and the others to always pay attention to safety, keep in touch, and have a good rest.
Hanging up the phone, Ouyang Lan leaned on the head of the bed, but after she woke up, she couldn't fall asleep. I don't know why, she always feels that tonight's events are very strange, at the dinner table, although the county magistrate Chang is the highest-level, but those deputy county magistrates don't give him much face, even if there is age and seniority there, it has to be according to the most basic level, isn't it popular in the officialdom that "the official level crushes people to death"?
It is obvious that the county magistrate Chang and the deputy county magistrates, especially the deputy county magistrate surnamed Li, are not on the same road at all, and they don't like each other, but they behave amiably at the dinner table, as if they are their own family.
Obviously, it was the county magistrate Chang who invited their city bureau to a banquet in private, but those deputy county magistrates were cheeky and regarded it as their home field, and kept pouring wine, and the county magistrate Chang didn't know how to refuse.
Not only that, but at the dinner table, they took photos and videos with their mobile phones while pouring wine, giggling and making a difference.
These deputy county magistrates, they are the highest figures in the Ningzhou County Government, but they are so vulgar and nonsense, it is really unimaginable. However, Ouyang Lan couldn't understand the affairs of officialdom, and she didn't want to understand it, what made her most incomprehensible was that the county magistrate Chang had repeatedly told him to pay out of his pocket and never hang the bill, but Director He secretly asked the hotel to hang the bill for them. At that time, Ouyang Lan saw this scene and thought that he was saying that it was good, plus he was dizzy, so he didn't care, but now that he has sobered up, he always feels that something is not quite right with that scene.
And there is also an unreasonable phenomenon, the people in their city bureau, there are only two girls in total, and they only need to open a standard room, but they just open two, and the money is not such a waste. Of course, they may be trying to make their drunken selves sleep better, but when they are drunk, isn't it better to have someone around to take care of them?
After thinking about it, the head that had just been relieved was swollen again, Ouyang Lan picked up the mobile phone and wanted to contact Liu Chen to exchange some information about the case, and as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he saw Shu Yulin send a message: "Senior sister, have you slept?"
Ouyang Lan smiled knowingly and replied, "Not yet, what about you, have you washed?"
"I finished washing, but I couldn't sleep. ”
Ouyang Lan thought about it, anyway, the two of them couldn't sleep, so let's just discuss tomorrow's actions together, "You come to my room, let's talk." ”
"Good. ”
Within a few minutes, there was a knock on Ouyang Lan's door, and when the door was opened, Shu Yulin walked in trembling.
"Senior sister, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shu Yulin got into Ouyang Lan's quilt without seeing it.
Ouyang Lan turned on the air conditioner, took out another piece of information, and said: "I'm going to investigate early tomorrow morning, tonight we will think about the specific plan, we have wasted a lot of time, so we will do the plan well tonight, and we can save some time tomorrow." ”
Shu Yulin took the information and praised: "Senior sister, you are really thoughtful. ”
Shu Yulin is Ouyang Lan's little fan sister, she admired Ouyang Lan very much when she was in school, and she was fortunate to be assigned to work in the city bureau, and she was also in Ouyang Lan's criminal police team, which made her happy for a long time. Because she is active and conscientious, she was quickly appreciated by Ouyang Lan, who often took her to deal with cases together, and this time she came to Ningzhou County to perform a task, and specially took her with her and her own group.
may have been a hand for Yang Ziming and was carefully guided by him, so Ouyang Lan understands what it feels like for a girl who has just graduated to work in society, she takes special care of Shu Yulin, and is also very patient to help her grow, just like Yang Ziming helped her grow up.
