Chapter 328: The Charm of Alcohol
At the same time, there were seven or eight people standing in front of the revolving door of the Yangjiang Hotel, namely Director Hu Shengli and Deputy Director Deng of the Construction Bureau, Director Lin Zeyuan and a deputy director surnamed Wang of the Forestry Bureau, as well as Cao Zhengxuan and his three ministers.
Cao Zhengxuan persuaded several times and asked the four directors to go to the box on the second floor to drink tea first, but the four directors did not agree, so they had to wait for Meng Guangming's arrival together.
Cao Zhengxuan can understand the mood of the four bureau chiefs very well. Unless he didn't know, since he knew that the number one leader was coming, how could the director of the bureau dare not greet him? In fact, according to Cao Zhengxuan's temper, he really wanted to leave the four bureau chiefs and take Xia Jun and a few people to the box to take a seat. There is no need for everyone to wait in front of the hotel. It seems to be a respect for Secretary Meng, but in essence, it has a bad impact.
Considering this, Cao Zhengxuan said privately with Director Hu and Director Deng, so Xia Jun, Tong Lezhong, and Kong Mingdao went to the hotel first, and the two deputy directors followed into the hotel, and there were four people left at the door waiting for Meng Guangming's arrival.
Meng Guangming arrived ten minutes later than scheduled, and a middle-aged man in his fifties with a big belly followed him. Meng Guangming is at this point in time, and in the eyes of the two bureau chiefs, he is already very powerful. After all, he is the secretary of the county party committee, and the time to pee is squeezed out.
What I didn't expect was that Cao Zhengxuan, who was the east, didn't buy it, "Secretary Meng, you made the two directors of our bureau wait for ten minutes." ”
Hu Shengli and Lin Zeyuan were stunned together, and even forgot to say hello to Secretary Meng.
"Oh?" Meng Guangming was stunned for a second, "Zhengxuan's criticism is right, it's because I don't have a strong concept in this area. Let's go up. Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the director of the Transportation Bureau. ”
At this time, the middle-aged man walked up to Cao Zhengxuan and shook hands with Cao Zhengxuan, and looked at Cao Zhengxuan, "It's Cao Dong, right? It's really young and promising. ”
"Thank you, Director Dong, for your compliment. Just call me Zhengxuan. Please. ”
Five people entered the hotel along the revolving door, and a waiter in a cheongsam greeted everyone and led everyone up to the second floor and went to the Linjiang Moon box. The waiter is very familiar with these leaders.
Deputy Director Deng and Deputy Director Wang waited at the entrance of the box. On the contrary, Cao Zhengxuan's three ministers really sat in the box.
Without further ado, nine people sat down as guests and hosts. Cao Zhengxuan originally wanted to sit at the entrance of the box with Xia Jun and a few people, in order to facilitate service, but Meng Guangming insisted that he sit beside him, so Cao Zhengxuan had to obey orders.
It is impossible for Cao Zhengxuan to be stupid enough not to understand Meng Guangming's intentions. Meng Guangming called the director of the transportation bureau to get to know him, and his intention was self-evident.
During the hour and a half of the banquet, Meng Guangming did not say anything to let everyone take care of Cao Zhengxuan, nor did he deliberately emphasize that Cao Zhengxuan was his daughter's homeroom teacher, let alone mention what happened during the autumn tour.
It's just a very ordinary drink. Several bureau chiefs took the opportunity to get close to Meng Guangming and talk about some work matters, but they were all interrupted by Meng Guangming one by one. Meng Guangming's attitude is very clear - today I am here to drink and eat, and I will put aside all the things at work.
And Meng Guangming is very good at mediating the atmosphere. Of course, this is likely to be a necessary skill for a customs officer like Meng Guangming. It can be inferred that if a person wants to go up to Meng Guangming's position, how many of these kinds of entertainment do they have to participate. Every time you attend such a feast, you will grind the iron rod for half an hour, and the thick iron rod will be sharpened into a needle. The subordinates I saw were all so restrained, and as the number one leader, they didn't know how to adjust the atmosphere, such a leader thought too highly of themselves, and it was basically impossible to have a better future.
Several bureau chiefs had already made preparations, and this banquet would be spent very restrainedly, who would have expected Meng Guangming to be so open-minded? So, at the beginning, he was called by the secretary, but in the end, he was called by the old brother and the old brother. Because everybody's wine is high.
Herein lies the charm of alcohol. It can make timid people bold, reserved people open, introverts outgoing, and naturally make secretaries become older brothers.
On the way, Meng Guangming also took the initiative to call the boxing - guess the boxing order. At this moment, the five directors were even more excited. This feast is worth a million. For quite a few bureau chiefs, there are still plenty of opportunities to eat with the top leaders in their careers, but it's rare to have a meal like tonight.
After such a meal, the distance between him and the leader is infinitely closer.
The matchup was played in eight people. Meng Guangming led the three bureau chiefs against Cao Zhengxuan led the three ministers. Wang Wang, the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau, is a person who has skin allergies after drinking a little alcohol, and he happens to be a wine officer - responsible for scooping wine, supervising the losing side to drink the wine dry, and settling disputes when it is critical.
As a result, the feast, which was supposed to end in an hour, lasted for an hour and a half before it ended.
The last to call the fist ended were Meng Guangming and Cao Zhengxuan. Cao Zhengxuan lost 1-5 to Meng Guangming.
"This can't work, little brother," Meng Guangming's hand was on Cao Zhengxuan's shoulder when he left the box (note: Cao Zhengxuan was half a head taller than Meng Guangming, and Meng Guangming only had his shoulder), "You let me do this, definitely let me." ”
"Brother Meng, how can I still have the ability to let you. You see how many punches I've lost? It's called boxing, it's still old and spicy. Cao Zhengxuan deliberately shook his body, "I really went to the bathroom and vomited twice." ”
"It's okay to vomit. Young people can carry it. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I know it in my heart. Let's go, go to my house and have some tea. When they arrived at the door of the hotel, the five bureau chiefs looked at Meng Guangming, hoping to understand how Meng Guangming would do next, Meng Guangming said.
"No, Brother Meng wants to drink tea, let's just go to a tea house. Cao Zhengxuan was not ambiguous at all, so he called Meng Guangming Brother Meng, didn't everyone drink too much anyway?
"How can you go to the tea house to drink tea, and go to my brother's house to drink tea? Don't shirk," Meng Guangming took Cao Zhengxuan's hand and waved at several bureau chiefs, "You guys, play your go, I won't say hello." ”
Cao Zhengxuan had to get into Meng Guangming's car. The driver was already waiting in the car.
got into the car, Cao Zhengxuan took the initiative to distance himself from Meng Guangming, and Meng Guangming also returned to normal.
"Teacher Xiao Cao, are you still satisfied with me sacrificing my life to accompany the guests?" Meng Guangming changed his title.
"Thank you, Secretary Meng. We hope for your understanding of some of the words and deeds you have just said. Cao Zhengxuan said.
"What's that? You can call me Brother Meng. However, there is really no time to drink tea with you. I still have a few things to attend to. ”
"It doesn't matter, there are still some things going on in my two companies. Please drop me off at the previous intersection. ”
"You can all go to the three directors at the right time, and they will definitely do their best to do what they can. I'm sure you can get along with them. ”
"I will. Secretary Meng can think so carefully for me, Zhengxuan will keep it in mind. ”
"For the project mentioned last time, you can go to the provincial capital in advance to walk around your relationship. However, you have to be clear that general relationships are useless. Meng Guangming didn't say anything polite.
"I don't know if the relationship between the daughter of the deputy director of the Department of Transportation is ordinary?" Cao Zhengxuan asked.
"Which deputy director?"
"Jiao Feng. His daughter is a classmate of mine. ”
"It's a very special relationship. Then let's work together, and this project is still expected to be won. ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
……
Outside the Yangjiang Hotel, Director Hu Shengli of the Construction Bureau got into the car and called Director Lin Zeyuan of the Forestry Bureau, "Director Lin, this posture, how can the project money owed to Huaan Construction Company be repaid." ”
"Yes, I plan to let the financial staff of Huaan Construction Company settle the project payment in two days. Lin Zeyuan said in his car.
"That's what I mean, too. ”
"Hehehe, we have a little bit of a heart. ”
"yes, yes. ”
