Chapter 325: Drink and hang
Seeing Zhang Hao park his car in front of the Donghua Hotel, Shen Huai couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Shen Huaicai didn't believe that Zhang Hao happened to choose this place for dinner.
Donghua Hotel is a hotel for external business, and Donghua City Office in Beijing for internal business.
If Shen Huai is really an ordinary township cadre under Donghua City, no matter how he is powerful in the township under his charge, no matter how he uses money to play ruthlessly in other consumption places, but when he arrives at the local office in Beijing, even if he is a dragon, he will be dished - Zhang Hao chose Donghua Hotel as the main venue for the dinner, so he naturally wanted to completely suppress him in terms of momentum.
"Ah, Donghua Hotel," Hu Mei jumped out of the car quite excitedly, looked at the gold-plated signboard hanging on the roof of the building, and turned back to Shen Huai and said, "What a coincidence......!
Hu Mei and Cheng Yue naturally didn't know the mystery, but they only felt that it was a coincidence in the name of the hotel.
Gu Ziqiang glanced at Zhang Hao with a stern look in his eyes, and punched Zhang Hao in the shoulder, he didn't like him to be unforgiving, a good class reunion, if he had to settle old grievances, it would only make everyone unhappy in the end, and they would have a grudge.
Zhang Hao insisted on going his own way, and smiled at Shen Huai: "We are eighty-seven, there are not a few developed classmates, choose this place to invite you to dinner, you don't think the grade is poor, right?"
Shen Huai glanced at Zhang Hao, he didn't think that the thin man who was very inconspicuous back then was now a powerful character, smiled faintly, and said, "It's good;
The previous "Shen Huai" had a life like garbage.
Hu Mei, Gu Ziqiang and others treated him leniently and did not remember his past suspicions, but it does not mean that Zhang Hao, who once beat him to the ground, should not find the scene.
Shen Huai thought to himself that since he continued to live with other people's lives, no matter whether it was good or bad, he always had to take it all over, and he couldn't enjoy the benefits, and he would complain when he encountered the bad.
The past "garbage" life needs to be cleaned up, and the debts owed must be redeemed slowly - even if Zhang Hao wants to win over a group of classmates with old grudges tonight to find a scene and slap him in the face, if they can resolve the old grudges as they wish, Shen Huai is willing to cooperate.
"I booked the 318 box, you go in first, I will wait for the young army with Qiangzi and them to come, they may not know the ...... of the road," Zhang Hao said.
Shen Huai returned to Beijing this time, his schedule was quite tight, he didn't plan to contact Chen Bing, and he didn't know if Chen Bing was in the hotel; he was afraid of being recognized by others, so he turned up the collar of his coat and followed Hu Mei and Cheng Yue to go in first.
"Good class reunion, it's going too much for you to do this......" Gu Ziqiang put his hand in his coat pocket, stood on the side of the street with the cold wind on his back, watched Shen Huai and Cheng Yue walk in, and couldn't help but blame Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao is a very assertive person, so naturally he will not be moved by Gu Ziqiang's advice, pouted and smiled, and said: "You, still Hu Mei, are too soft-hearted - in the weather of minus four or five degrees back then, that kid pushed Hu Mei into the ice-breaking river without blinking his eyes; I finally caught this kid today, just toss him a little, and you will be soft-hearted?"
Gu Ziqiang smiled bitterly: "How old were we back then, if it wasn't for this accident, who would still hold a grudge against what happened back then?" ”
"You're right, I really can't forget that the bridge of my nose was broken for him," Zhang Hao said, "You guys are really deceitful, what do you believe when people say anything? Don't you see that kid walk in and turn up his collar to cover his face? This shows that he has a weak heart." ”
"After seeing each other for many years, even if you put some gold on your face, how big of a deal can it be?" Gu Ziqiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You wait outside for the young army to come over, and I will go first......"
Donghua Hotel is a normal hotel and guesthouse, and it is also a side business mainly engaged in by the Beijing Office of Donghua to increase income.
Shen Huai walked from the hall of the catering department to the box, and saw that compared with when he came over in August, there had been a redecoration, and the service staff wearing red forged gold embroidered silk cheongsam were also in good spirits.
Shen Huai thought in his heart, it seems that Chen Bing realized that it was hopeless to transfer back to Donghua in the short term to take another position, and he was not willing to do nothing for Yanjing, and he had the heart to do a good job in the operation of Donghua Hotel, which was worthy of his pragmatic style.
Shen Huai, Cheng Yue, and Hu Mei entered the box, the heating was sufficient, and asked Cheng Yue: "You have a good relationship with Zhang Hao?"
"Yes," Cheng Yue said, "Zhang Hao lives in the same alley as Qiangzi's family, in fact, I still have Hu Mei and them, and their families live quite close." At that time, it seemed that there were not many students living in the dormitory, you are counted as one, and now everyone doesn't know where you live in your hometown?"
"My family used to live on Xisi Street, but now my family is working outside Beijing, and when I go back to Beijing, I don't have to stay in a hotel or a relative's house. Shen Huai said.
Xisi Street is very long, that is, the residential buildings in that section of Zhonghai are relatively core, and there are ordinary houses for the families of cadres of ministries and commissions at the beginning and end, and there are many ministry compounds distributed around the left and right.
Shen Huai could see that Gu Ziqiang was more casual in front of Zhang Hao, and he didn't ask Gu Ziqiang to weaken in momentum and rely on him too much because he said that Zhang Hao was good at mixing and had a more flamboyant personality.
Shen Huai thought to himself, in addition to Gu Ziqiang's close relationship with Zhang Hao, it also shows that he is neither arrogant nor humble, and has a sense of arrogance - no wonder Cheng Yue, a school-flower-level figure who attracts bees and butterflies, has been following him to live a poor life all these years, and he must have some ability.
Shen Huai was also happy to see one or two characters appear among his old classmates, watching Gu Ziqiang come out alone, flick a cigarette for him, and asked, "Mouse is waiting for them outside alone?"
"Well," Gu Ziqiang responded, not forgetting to excuse Zhang Hao for a few words, comforting Shen Huai, and said, "This Zhang Hao, who has earned a little money in the past two years, has thorns in his eyes, so we will eat him two meals of wine, and let him ......."
Shen Huai laughed and said he didn't mind.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the students in Beijing who already had something to do couldn't leave, and it was not slow for others to come to the dinner. Before the six o'clock meeting, there were 26 students who had rushed over temporarily.
There were three round tables in the box booked by Zhang Hao, and the last person who came almost filled the three round tables, Shen Huai couldn't help nodding secretly, Zhang Hao and Gu Ziqiang were still a little confident in their appeal in the circle of old classmates.
There were only 57 people in their class at that time, and although everyone was relatively free during the Spring Festival, and most of them were in Beijing, it was still not easy for Zhang Hao and Gu Ziqiang to gather 26 people;
The cold dishes were put on the table first, and seeing that the waiter behind Zhang Hao brought in four boxes of Fenjiu, Shen Huai knew that he would not be here today, and he was afraid that he would not be able to ask Zhang Hao and them to settle their old grievances a little.
Shen Huai took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and put the glass on the glass turntable with everyone, and let Zhang Hao pour the glass full of wine-scented Fenjiu, and said with a smile: "I want to explain here today......
asked Shen Huai to peek through his thoughts, Zhang Hao's eyes couldn't help but dodge, and another Hu Xiaojun, who was close to Gu Ziqiang and Zhang Hao, came over and said:
"You kid hasn't seen you for almost ten years, do the math, how much less wine you drank with us, and you can't make up for it quickly? Of course, we have to talk about the rules before we drink, except for the lady, the first three glasses of wine, the first glass is divided into five sips, the second cup is divided into four sips, and the third cup is three sips, we have to follow up synchronously, no one can be left behind; three cups of belly, slip under the table, just leave him alone; still sober and not poured, then willing to change the beer for the beer, for the cola for the cola, there is nothing to pay attention to, pay attention to a zi-lure combination- Isn't this more elegant than the one in your government?"
Three glasses of liquor are a catty, and Shen Huai has never drunk with his old classmates before, but the first three glasses of wine can't be said to be Zhang Hao They bullied him.
Some people in the township below Donghua drink more fiercely than this, but no one will pour him wine, but today's situation is special, and he can't put up any shelf - he doesn't know how many people can survive these three glasses of wine for Zhang Hao to his table.
"Who is still awake when the time comes, remember to help me open a room upstairs, don't throw me on the street and become a ......," Shen Huai said with a smile.
Some people rushed over, even if they really wanted to find Shen Huai to repay their old grievances, but seeing Shen Huai so refreshing, they were embarrassed to be too aggressive.
Two glasses of wine are divided into nine mouthfuls, and some people can't bear it, so they change sides to rest, which can be regarded as defeat-Shen Huai knew that he was not qualified to admit defeat today, so he hurriedly followed everyone's rhythm while chatting and drinking.
In the end, there is no deep hatred, this is full of wine, open to drink, everyone's posture will be released, the atmosphere is gradually warm, and the speech is casual.
Although Shen Huai doesn't pour much alcohol into others, it is also an "alcohol" test, and there is no difficulty in coping with the first three glasses of wine - the difficulty is that in the next Zi lure combination, there are still seven or eight male classmates left, and each of them toasts him half a glass and a glass of wine, and he has to hang it here.
However, Gu Ziqiang felt that it was unfair for everyone to point the finger at Shen Huai, which would make the class reunion boring, his face was already the color of pork liver, and he stood up and said undoubtedly: "Don't make any zi temptation combinations, let's drink the second round." In the third round, we still drink three glasses of wine together, no one bullies anyone, let's change the three-two-one drinking method, if we change the beer, it's one to five, how about it?"
Not everyone must put Shen Huai down like Zhang Hao, and to see him make a fool of himself, some people echo Gu Ziqiang's change to the 321 method and then engage in the second round.
Gu Ziqiang was also at the end of the crossbow, and before he took the first sip of the fifth glass of wine, his legs and stomach weakened, and he slipped under the table and knocked over a piece of the dishes in front of him.
Shen Huai and Cheng Yue dragged Gu Ziqiang to the chair, drank the fifth glass of wine in one gulp, put it in front of Zhang Hao, and said, "Forget it today, we will have a chance to get together again in the future?"
"Forget about the past, if we continue to toss, Shen Huai will rarely go back to Beijing, we should bully him, it will seem that we are too inhuman. Gu Ziqiang lay on the table, he couldn't raise his head, but he also drank too much, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, so he directly poked Zhang Hao's mind out, and persuaded him not to pour Shen Huai wine again.
Zhang Hao didn't expect Shen Huai to be so sober in his stomach under the five glasses of liquor, he also had a temper, refused to admit it, drank all the liquor in the cup, held back the churning in his stomach, took three empty glasses and put them in front of Shen Huai, and said: "Our debt is settled, but the debt you pushed Hu Mei down the river back then is not so easy to settle." You drink three more glasses of wine, and the debt is settled. Pushing away the person who persuaded her, she opened a bottle of Fenjiu and poured three glasses.
"I didn't have a good relationship with everyone, I did a lot of bastard things, and to be honest, I felt very guilty, and I didn't know where to start if I wanted to apologize. Since the mouse gave me such an easy choice, then I will drink these three cups and say sorry to Hu Mei, the mouse, and other classmates......" Shen Huai poured Fenjiu into his stomach one after another.
The third glass of wine poured into his stomach, and Shen Huai was almost unconscious for an instant, and his body slid straight down to the table......
