Chapter 143 Annual Meeting Luncheon
Chapter 143 Annual Meeting Luncheon
1.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the "1995 Annual Conference of the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers of the Huxian Education System" ended.
Secretary Liu of the Youth League Committee of the Education Bureau announced that he would go to the banquet hall on the first floor of the "Beech Forest Hotel" opposite the Education Bureau for dinner at noon, and there was a cheer from the audience.
With tolerant smiles, the leaders on the stage walked out of the venue amid the applause and cheers of the participants.
When the leader left the venue, the audience was in chaos, and the people who knew each other greeted each other and giggled and laughed.
In the spring, except for Wang Xiulin, I didn't know anyone here, so I had to sit there in a daze.
Wang Xiulin stretched out his hand and pushed Spring, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the crowd to the outside of the venue.
When the two of them arrived outside the gate of the Education Bureau, the participants walked out of the conference room on the fourth floor in twos and threes.
"Director Wang, why are you in such a hurry? I won't start the meal early if I go early. Spring looked puzzled.
"You know what? If it's too late, there's no place around the leader. Wang Xiulin hated iron but not steel, "Ten people per table, the leader occupies four, there are six left, and there are still a few seats for the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the teacher's normal, first middle school, and second middle school, and the opportunity for ordinary people like us to sit next to the leader is almost zero. ”
Saying that, Wang Xiulin took the lead and ran towards the "Beech Forest Hotel" across the road, and Spring had to follow.
Entering the banquet hall on the first floor, Wang Xiulin ran straight to the main table of the leaders close to the rostrum.
"Mu Bureau is good!" Wang Xiulin greeted Deputy Director Mu of the Education Bureau from afar, and Deputy Director Mu turned his head and saw Wang Xiulin, so he stood up and said hello.
"Xiao Wang, are you still here to attend the meeting today on behalf of the Town Education Committee?" Deputy Director Mu said with a smile, "Come on, let me introduce you to a few leaders." ”
Wang Xiulin ran over a few steps, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mu Bureau, I know all these leaders." Hello Secretary Xu! Hello Minister Xie! Hello Secretary Liu!"
"My little fellow is run by the Education Committee of Hushan Town. Deputy Director Mu introduced Wang Xiulin to the others at the table.
Wang Xiulin nodded and shook hands with the leaders, greeted each other, and his face was full of flattering smiles.
Spring watched from afar, and felt sick in my heart.
Although there are still several empty seats at the leaders' main table, I don't want to go over in the spring, and it is good to get to know the leaders, but in the spring, I can't say flattering words that make the leaders happy and happy, and I can't pretend to have a smiling face like Wang Xiulin, so it's better not to go over and block the leaders.
Spring found a secluded corner and sat down, Wang Xiulin said hello to the leaders, and when he turned around, he was gone.
2.
This lunch at noon was an eye-opener for Spring, who participated in this kind of event for the first time.
The banquet hall of Nuoda has more than a dozen tables set up in one fell swoop. The dining table is an upscale self-rotating round table, covered with bright red tablecloths, high-backed chairs with red velvet seat covers, and in front of each person a delicate set of cutlery, each with a waitress in a beautiful uniform, smiling and guiding guests to their seats and pouring tea and wine.
The wine and food are very fast, and it takes less than half an hour from sitting down in the spring to serving the dishes.
The beautiful waitress, like butterflies shuttling through the flowers, walked around the crowd with trays, their waists writhing like willows blown by the wind, and the dishes in their hands did not move at all, and the soup juice was not spilled at all, which made the spring amazed.
What makes Spring even more amazed is the dishes on the table, which are the most exquisite and should be the most luxurious in Spring's life, many dishes are not named in Spring, and I don't know how to eat them.
The wine is also good wine, with two bottles of "Xifeng" and two bottles of "Fenjiu" per table, and one case of canned "Tsingtao Beer" per table.
I haven't eaten such a high-end banquet in the spring, so naturally I can't calculate the price of wine and food, and it seems that the Youth League Committee of the Education Bureau spent a lot of money this time. Where will the cost of this dinner come from? Could it also be the tour fee handed in by the students? In the spring, he remembered Wang Yichuan's treat, and he was also taken aback by this idea.
It just so happened that at this time, Secretary Xu of the Youth League and County Committee held a banquet on the rostrum with a wine glass.
Secretary Xu simply said a few words of blessing and encouragement, then raised his glass to signal to the crowd in the banquet hall, and then drank a glass of wine, and the audience resounded with warm applause and applause.
Looking at the past from the position of spring, although it is not real, it feels like Secretary Xu should drink liquor in spring. Two or two cups, one sip stuffy, this woman is indeed not simple.
After Secretary Xu started, the audience became lively.
Each wine table has its own policy, and without the greeting of the leader, it starts to eat and drink, and naturally there will be someone at each table who will come forward to preside over the wine party. Generally, it is the elderly, the person who drinks a lot, the county school, or the person who thinks he is worth a lot and has a higher level.
Spring silently followed to eat and drink, people let them drink, how much others drank, how much spring to drink, anyway, with the amount of spring wine, not afraid of being drunk down.
As for eating, I choose dishes that I know the name or have eaten in the spring. I haven't seen it, I don't know how to do it or put my mouth down, the spring is not moving for the time being, and when I see others eat, I will learn and sell it in the spring, and then I will follow the hands or chopsticks.
Between eating and drinking, I also took the time to take a few glances at Wang Xiulin in the spring.
Wang Xiulin was busy at the wine table, busy pouring wine and tea for the leaders, serving dishes for the leaders, toasting the leaders, and blocking wine for the leaders.
Wang Xiulin's busyness brought out the leisure of the waitress at the main table, and she stood at the table with her hands down a little awkwardly, as if she had nothing to do.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the leader usually has to get up and toast from table to table.
Generally, when the leader toasts, everyone should be followed by a waiter lady, holding the liquor or beer that the leader likes to drink, and waiting for the opportunity to pour wine for the leader in a timely manner. But now even this job has been robbed by Wang Xiulin. The other three leaders all have a service lady next to them, but it is Wang Xiulin who follows Deputy Director Mu.
Spring didn't wait for the leader to toast at his table, so he sneaked away.
I've drunk a lot of wine, and my stomach is full, and if I stay any longer, I can only fight with each other or the boring coping at the wine table. When I drank too much, everyone at the wine table was brothers and sisters, and I was very affectionate, but when I woke up the next day, it was not uncommon for everyone to know no one when we met.
This kind of boring socializing, I don't want to do it in the spring, and I can't do it. The kind of "glass" friends on the wine table, try not to make friends if you can, which is also one of the principles of making friends in spring.
3.
In the spring, I bought a bottle of mineral water in the small store next to the "Beech Forest Hotel", and sat in front of the store and drank it slowly, while waiting patiently for Wang Xiulin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, participants left the banquet hall one after another.
It wasn't until half past two that I saw Wang Xiulin's figure appear at the door of the hotel in the spring.
Wang Xiulin still followed behind several leaders attending the meeting, nodded and opened the door for the leader, watched the leader's car go away, and did not forget to wave enthusiastically in the direction of the leader's car.
Spring smiled disdainfully, got up and walked towards Wang Xiulin from the door of the shop.
Spring praised Wang Xiulin with a little compliment, which made Wang Xiulin laugh. Every word of spring tickled Wang Xiulin's itch, making him feel very comfortable in his heart. Although he didn't eat and drink much at today's banquet, Wang Xiulin was still very satisfied with his performance today, and he not only seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show his face in front of the leader, but also thought that he had done a good job.
The two men hired a tricycle anyway and went to the bus station. Naturally, the car money still has to be paid in the spring.
