Although Xia Bingbing is cold, he is a very dedicated and strong person, and this is true at work and drinking. In her opinion, as the head of the budget department, it is her bounden duty to go to the provincial department to obtain subsidy funds for the county, and drinking with the leaders of the budget department is a means for her to perform her duties.

Therefore, when Su Yetai signaled her and Zhang Yaling to start saluting Fang Xin and Li Tao's wine, she immediately stood up, put six glasses of wine in front of her, and raised one of them and said to Fang Xin and Li Tao very proudly: "Director Fang and Director Li, just now the two leaders promised to help our county to fight for temporary subsidy funds, which solved the urgent need for our county Finance Bureau, and also made my budget unit a great sigh of relief." In order to express my gratitude, I toast the two leaders with a few glasses of wine, the leaders have one drink, and I have three glasses!"

As he spoke, he first raised the cup in his hand to Fang Xin, raised his neck and drank it all, and drank the other two glasses of wine in one go. Seeing this, Fang Xin also smiled and picked up a glass of wine, leaned his neck and dried it off. Subsequently, Xia Bingbing drank three more glasses of wine, and Li Tao also drank one cup of wine.

The box immediately burst into applause.

Zhang Yaling was not to be outdone, she also prepared six glasses of wine, and toasted Fang Xin and Li Tao respectively in a three-to-one manner, which also won the applause of the audience.

After Zhang Yaling finished saluting the two directors, Xia Bingbing once again put three glasses of wine on the table in front of her, picked up one of them, turned to face Lu Tao and said, "Lu Tao, I also salute you in the same way: I drink three glasses, you drink one glass." First, thank you for your efforts to win the subsidy funds of the provincial department for our Taolin County, you are from the Local Taxation Bureau, and you have no obligation to fight for funds for us, but when Director Cai asked you for help, you agreed without hesitation, and immediately went to Director Fang, Director Li and Team Leader Chen. Although the funds we have won are the result of the extra care and care of the three leaders of the budget department, you have also done your best to help. ”

Fang Xin and Li Tao hurriedly said: "Xiao Xia is right, Xiao Lu has really worked hard for the matter of fighting for funds in your county. To be honest, if he and Pei Pei don't go to us, the new rural construction subsidy funds in your county in the second half of this year are indeed a bit hanging, I hope you also understand this, we also have difficulties in the department, right? But since Pei Pei opened her mouth to intercede for you, she is our newly promoted village team leader, we have to give her a little face, right? What's more, Pei Pei is a person who never asks us for other people's affairs, for the sake of your Taolin County's affairs, this time she made an exception, just rush this point, we also have to think of a way for you. ”

Su Yetai, Cai Changming and others hurriedly nodded yes.

Xia Bingbing held her cup and waited for Fang Li and the two to finish. continued to look at Lu Tao and said, "That was the first reason for me to respect you just now." The second reason is that I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly apologize to you. Yesterday, on the way to the provincial capital, when I was eating at that restaurant, I was not very friendly to you, and I said a few things that were not very appropriate. I'm a straightforward person, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I apologize when I should apologize. If you feel that my apology is not sincere enough, or if you don't forgive me for my rudeness yesterday, you can skip this drink, but I must finish these three glasses. ”

said, without waiting for Lu Tao to respond, he quickly drank the three glasses of wine in front of him.

Lu Tao saw that her starry eyes were blurred, peach cheeks were red, although she was not drunk, but it was estimated that she was also three or four points drunk, I wanted to persuade her not to drink three glasses of wine in a row, but I didn't expect that she didn't have time to speak, she drank three glasses of wine in an instant, and admired her boldness very much, so she also stood up, put three glasses of wine on the table in front of her, and said very sincerely: "Chief Xia, you and I are both civil servants in Taolin County, finance and taxation are originally a family, and it is your duty to fight for financial subsidies for our Taolin County, and I am duty-bound, you don't need to thank me."

"What we really want to thank is the two leaders of Director Fang and Director Li, as well as Pei Pei, who has left the table. As for the words you said to me at dinner last night, I believe that you were also because of your straightforward personality, you can say whatever you want in your heart, and there is no malice, and what you stated at the time was also the truth, and you did not fabricate right and wrong to attack me, and I am not so careful to keep these words in my heart. What's more, I also said a sarcastic word to you later, and I was criticized by Director Cai a few times for this, if you want to apologize, let's apologize to each other!"

As he spoke, he drank three glasses of wine in one sip like Xia Bingbing.

Next, Su Yetai, Cai Changming and Lu Tao all toasted Fang Xin and Li Tao with a glass of wine respectively, and Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling also toasted Su Yetai and Cai Changming.

Li Tao used to drink with Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling many times, and knew that the two of them drank about the same amount of alcohol, about one and a half catties of liquor. Now that the six bottles of Moutai on the table have drunk three bottles, Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling have drunk a little more than the others, each of them has about six taels, and there is still a lot of room to play. But the amount of alcohol he and Fang Xin drank was only about half a catty, if Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling were allowed to go down, Fang Xin and himself would have to be drunk by them......

So, he discussed a few words with Fang Xin in a low voice, then turned his head and glanced at Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, Xiao Zhang, looking at the momentum of your drinking and toasting, there is really a kind of arrogance that women do not let their eyebrows go, which makes Director Fang and I both admire and worry. I know that you want to get more financial subsidies for the county, and Director Fang and I understand this idea very well. However, before you continue to pay homage to me and Director Fang, I would like to tell you a true story. The name of this story is '500 glasses of wine make an auditorium', and the two protagonists of the story are the brigade commander and political commissar when I was in the army, do you want to hear it?"

Su Yetai and Cai Changming knew that he must have a deep meaning in telling this story of wine tasting at this moment, and it must be related to Taolin County's efforts to obtain financial subsidy funds, so they took the lead in applauding warmly. When Xia Bingbing, Zhang Yaling, and Lu Tao heard the title, they were also interested, and they applauded.

Li Tao cleared his throat and began to speak: "When I joined the army in the early 90s of the last century, at that time, whether it was a local or a military unit, the construction of work style was not as strict as it is now, there was no prohibition on alcohol among officials and civil servants, and it was common for military leaders to drink alcohol, and the more a leader drank alcohol, the more he was loved by officers and men, and the more appreciated he was by his superiors. Wasn't it popular at that time to say that 'you can drink three taels and half a catty, such cadres can rest assured; If you can drink half a catty and drink eight taels, such cadres should be cultivated; If you can drink a pound and drink a box, such a cadre is a typical tree; can drink a pound and drink a box, such a cadre has strong ability, can drink a box and drink a bucket, and will be the boss tomorrow; If you can drink a box and a tank, the secretary of the municipal party committee will let you be'. Although this passage is a bit exaggerated, it somewhat reflects the current situation at that time. ”
