The Wanderer (180) - Farewell Banquet (Acting)
Many years later, about the banquet to bid farewell to Shi Xiang, Yu Yuanming still remembers a few details.
Shi Xiang's face was cloudy. It feels a bit far-fetched laughter, and there is a frustration that can't be hidden. Yao Zhimin's sanctimonious manners and high-sounding praise and humiliation that he couldn't resist.
In an occasion where everyone is acting, what choice do you have but to dance together?
Drinking becomes a very simple and complex activity.
Every glass of wine is exquisite, every toast has a beginning, and everyone suddenly becomes enthusiastic, red and able to speak. Those who have a good amount of wine and are good at socializing shuttle between banquets, like flowers and butterflies. Like a fish, it swims with ease. Those who have a poor amount of alcohol either hide far away, go to the toilet and vomit, or are unable to get up in their seats.
The most interesting is Hu Wenjiang, who is late.
When he pushed the door and came in, Shi Xiang was making a parting speech. Everyone was originally listening attentively to Shi Xiang's speech to see how he expressed himself in this situation. As a result, Hu Wenjiang pushed the door, and the sound was too loud. All eyes were on him at once.
Shi Xiang's speech was also interrupted, and he glanced at Hu Wenjiang deeply.
Of course, Hu Wenjiang felt embarrassed, so he bent down and slipped into the back, found a place to sit down gently, and listened to Shi Xiang continue to speak.
Shi Xiang is still an acting school, and at this moment, he was full of smiles: This, Hu Wenjiang, you interrupted me! It's okay, let's continue. I fully support and resolutely implement the adjustment of my work by the headquarters. Under the leadership of Mr. Yao, the brothers and sisters of Jiangnan Branch have worked together, and we have achieved impressive results in the market. The leaders of the headquarters attach great importance to it and ask me to go to the headquarters many times to share and share. Go to various institutions and pass on the experience or something. In fact, this is all the credit of Mr. Yao, even if I go, I will represent Mr. Yao. I have never agreed, after all, my family is also here, and our Jiangnan branch is also very good, I am reluctant! But as a professional manager, I can't only think about myself, but also need to think from the overall situation. The president often educates us to be open-minded, to follow the trend and make the pattern bigger. I also went to work at the headquarters with a learning mentality. I hope I don't embarrass the Jiangnan branch, right?
Everyone responded below: No!
Shi Xiang: Thank you! Special thanks to Mr. Yao! I hope that the Jiangnan branch will get better and better under the leadership of Mr. Yao! I propose, let's raise our glasses and toast Mr. Yao! Tonight, if you want to express your feelings, you must not miss it! Especially Hu Wenjiang, if you are late, you will be fined three glasses of wine!
Overall, Shi Xiang's speech was still very decent.
But that night, Han Jianchun, Fan Qiang, Yu Shengli, and Yu Yuanming sent Shi Xiang home, and outside Shi Xiang's community, Shi Xiang vomited a mess. Fan Qiang, Yu Shengli went to buy water and took paper towels for a busy meal.
Slowly, Shi Xiang came to his senses, his head still drooping: I can't help it! I don't want to leave! Do you know? My mother has cancer! The cancer cells have metastasized to the lungs! I am gone, what should my mother do?
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and Shi Xiang burst into tears!
A few big men were stunned, not knowing how to persuade them.
Han Jianchun just held his shoulders and looked up into the distance, there were buildings in the dark, there were bright and dark buildings in the buildings, some lights were on, and there were figures floating when he looked at them carefully.
When Shi Xiang was almost crying, everyone began to crusade against Yao Zhimin one sentence at a time.
"It's too ruthless, just transfer people away!"
"The headquarters didn't come to find out about the situation, it's too bureaucratic!"
"The ruthless Yao Zhimin is going to be insidious!"
"You see he's still acting tonight, and he's smiling so much!"
Shi Xiang cleaned up his emotions and interrupted everyone: Forget it, don't say it. Let's talk about what to do next, shall we?
I went to the headquarters and had the opportunity to talk to the president and the vice president. So, we still need to have a meeting every day and meet every night. Something said on the phone.
A group of people muttered for a long time before they went home.
Yu Yuanming was most impressed by Hu Wenjiang.
Hu Wenjiang drank a lot that night, and first came up and poured a full glass of liquor with a beer glass, and drank it all. As a penalty for being late!
Later, he raised his glass frequently, as if he was the protagonist of this feast.
Later, his phone rang, and he answered the phone and said, "over, over."
Fan Qiang said: This baby is drunk! As long as he starts to speak English, he must be drunk!
Yu Yuanming remembered that he once had a party at Wanjia Life, and there was a supervisor named Lu Zhonghua who also liked to drink. As long as he punches in Mandarin, he must be drunk.
Getting drunk is not about falling to the ground on the spot, or talking nonsense, but about crossing a certain critical point and entering the line of excess. The next step must be a sign of drunkenness.
Sure enough, Shi Xiang was drunk that day, tense on the spot, and vomited and cried afterwards.
And Hu Wenjiang broadcast it live, vomited wow, and was carried back by several people.
Yu Yuanming saw a lot of intriguing things between this banquet.
Mr. Lin did not attend, which in itself is a signal.
Yao Zhimin took control of the whole situation and let everyone finish the process that should be gone without tacitly.
Shi Xiang had no other way than to cooperate with the performance.
But the pain and awkwardness in the heart are something that many people can't feel!
Han Jianchun couldn't see any expression, and you don't know if what he said was true or false.
You say he's happy, and his smile isn't yin or yang. You say he's sad, and he applauds quite positively.
When drinking, he also took the initiative to respect Yao Zhimin, Wu Changjiang, and Hu Wenjiang.
There is no estrangement between each other, and there is peace. Hook shoulders and backs, talk in the ear, and occasionally burst into laughter that others don't understand!
Shi Xiang also drank a lot of wine.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, he is still acting in Yanhuang anyway, and going to the headquarters is unpredictable, no one will be stupid enough to offend him at this time.
They are all auspicious words of blessing, and the Chinese are particularly good at projects.
As for why he went to headquarters. Whether it goes up or down doesn't matter to the toaster.
It is important to be able to express one's kindness at this moment, even if the kindness and blessing are false. It must also be expressed! Expressing false things in a sincere way is our excellent traditional culture for thousands of years.
We were all born and raised in this culture, so most of us are familiar with it.
Each other, each other!
If someone doesn't, it's seen as an alternative. "Inhuman".
Fan Qiang, Yu Shengli, and Yu Yuanming are like three followers, sitting around Shi Xiang, one blocking the wine for him, and the other worrying that he will lose control.
Shi Xiang went to the headquarters, how should his work be carried out next?
Yu Yuanming didn't know.
