At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the "Good Again" restaurant and the "Grand Hyatt Pavilion" private room.

The layout in the private room is simple, but the atmosphere is very warm, and the dinner party for Ouyang Yuna is about to begin.

The restaurant was set by Chutian, and he did not choose the largest Kunlun Hotel, but chose to be here, mainly to be quiet. Kunlun Hotel is opposite the township government, if you eat there, you may not meet acquaintances, inevitably toast or something, will ruin the atmosphere of eating. Therefore, he chose to "come again", and this restaurant is the second largest restaurant in Qingniuyu after Kunlun Hotel.

Today's dinner was attended by a total of five people. At the beginning, Ning Junqi asked Ouyang Yuna to be the main seat, and Ouyang Yuna did not sit. Later, Ning Junqi said that today is for her practice, they are all friends, she is the protagonist, and she should sit in the main seat. So, Ouyang Yuna sat on the main seat, Ning Junqi and Hao Xiaoyan were on either side of her, Chu Tianqi sat next to Ning Junqi, and Liu Wentao sat next to Hao Xiaoyan.

Seeing that two cold and two hot dishes had already been served, Ning Junqi stood up and raised his wine glass: "Today, we practice for Yuna, and all the people present are good friends." It's just that the countryside is poor and the environment is poor, so please bear with the big reporters from the provincial capital. ”

"Oops, it's sour, stop dragging words, talk well. Ouyang Yuna slapped Ning Junqi's hand, grinned, and said, "We've been playing for so many years, how can you let me eat if you make such sour words." ”

Ning Junqi pretended to have a stiff face and said: "You are a big reporter of the provincial newspaper, if I don't make two sentences, you should say that our leopards in the countryside are uneducated." Since reporter Ouyang is sympathetic to us mountain and wild people, then I won't be empty. Come on, whole one. After speaking, he laughed and took the lead in clinking glasses with Ouyang Yuna.

Ouyang Yuna also stood up, and Chu Tianqi and Liu Wentao also stood up. Everyone clinked glasses together, and drank all the liquor for five yuan.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glass for everyone.

"I propose, no one should stand up when they drink in the future, they don't have to be so hypocritical, and it's troublesome to talk about it. Ouyang Yuna said, "In addition, the task of pouring wine will be handed over to Chu Tianqi, who made her the youngest." ”

"Good. Everyone responded in unison, this everyone does not include Chu Tianqi.

"I have an opinion, I have an opinion. Chu Tianqi raised his hand and said, "It's okay for me to pour wine, but why do you say that I am the youngest?

"Aren't you the youngest? You're younger than Junqi, I'm the same age as Junqi, and of course you're the youngest. Ouyang Yuna said, and then her face was full of smiles, and the smile became stronger and stronger, "Little brother, don't you know that you can't just ask the girl's age?

"Alright, alright, you're just quibbling. Chu Tianqi blushed and said, "Pour the wine, pour the wine, how can there be so many crooked reasons." ”

"Ouch, why are you pinching me?" Ouyang Yuna shouted at Ning Junqi. When she saw Liu Wentao and Hao Xiaoyan's forced smiles, she reacted, stuck out her tongue at Ning Junqi, and laughed.

After laughing, Ning Junqi brought two more glasses of wine, and then everyone saluted each other. Because today I was holding a practice of drinking as a friend, I talked relatively casually, and I drank it to the fullest.

Because Ouyang Yuna is the protagonist today, naturally everyone toasts her. At first, she didn't refuse to come, but after a few drinks, she realized that if she drank like this, she would definitely get drunk. After consultations, an agreement was reached with 60 percent of the votes in favor of the men and the women.

The food was served to the table, and the wine was drunk very happily.

Liu Wentao was the oldest of the five, and no one forced him to drink. Chu Tianqi was different, the three women all persuaded him as sisters. "A good man can't stand a lot of people", he has already drunk a little too much.

……

Just when everyone was drinking, the curtain was lifted, and a person walked in. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they reacted, greeting each other and giving up their seats.

The person who came in was none other than Huang Jingzu, the township secretary. Why is he here? That's the question on everyone's mind.

"Reporter Ouyang, welcome. Welcome the big reporter of the provincial newspaper to come to Qingniuyu to guide the work, which is the greatest support for the work of our township. I'll give you a glass first. Huang Jingzu smiled with a smile on his face, picked up the cup containing the wine next to him, clinked glasses with Ouyang Yuna, and then drank it all.

"Thank you, Secretary Huang. After Ouyang Yuna finished speaking, she also drank a glass of wine.

Then Huang Jingzu toasted Ouyang Yuna for the second and third cups to express his gratitude to Ouyang Yuna and wish her a higher level of work.

At this time, everyone poured the wine in the cup, and also filled Huang Jingzu with wine, ready to respond to the secretary's call to drink a cup together.

Completely different from what everyone imagined, Huang Jingzu did not raise his glass, but said to Ning Junqi: "Township Chief Ning, you entertain Ouyang Reporter on behalf of the township, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." After speaking, he turned to Ouyang Yuna again: "Reporter Ouyang, I'll leave first, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. Ouyang Yuna politely shook hands with Huang Jingzu.

At the moment when Huang Jingzu turned around, he quickly set his eyes on Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi, who had already drunk a little dizzy, was shocked in his heart, and he saw the familiar smile on Huang Jingzu's face again.

Huang Jingzu has not looked at himself since he entered the house. Chu Tianqi thought that he would ignore himself until he left today. Who would have thought that at the moment of leaving, Huang Jingzu smiled again, and it was that meaningful smile, that smile that made him feel pressured.

"Chu Tianqi, are you stupid?" Ouyang Yuna looked at Chu Tianqi who was in a daze and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Not much, not much. Chu Tianqi came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.

Although others felt a little surprised that Huang Jingzu did not salute everyone's wine according to the convention, they did not lose their temper like Chu Tianqi. None of them saw Huang Jingzu's special smile, and even if they did, they wouldn't necessarily feel like Chu Tianqi.

Huang Jingzu left, and everyone's interest in drinking was obviously a little worse. But Chu Tianqi was different, not only did he not refuse to come, but he took the initiative to attack and see the bottom of the cup.

Chu Tianqi was drunk.

……

Chu Tianqi opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around, and he had a terrible headache. After a while, he had a general view of the house, which turned out to be his office and bedroom.

His throat was sore and thirsty, so he reached out and pulled the lamp rope beside the bed and turned on the light. The sudden bright light in the dark night made Chu Tianqi very uncomfortable all of a sudden, and he hurriedly closed his eyes again. When he opened his eyes again and was about to get up to find water to drink, he found his stainless steel water cup on the chair next to the bed.

He sat up and realized that he had only taken off his coat and slept in a sweater and pants. I took the glass from the chair and unscrewed the lid, the water in the cup was still hot. He took a few sips, and his throat felt much better. Looking at his watch, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, he shook his head, which was still aching, took off his clothes again, and lay down again. He turned off the lights and looked at the roof, but he couldn't sleep.

Yesterday I got drunk myself. It was the first thing that came to his mind.

How did he come back? Who sent him back? He thought about it for a long time, and only remembered a few scenes when he was drinking, remembered that Huang Jingzu went to the private room to toast, and ...... It was as if he was talking in one place, and someone persuaded him. I can't remember the details at all.

……

Township Mayor's Office Suite Room.

"Junqi, have you slept?"

"I've fallen asleep a long time ago. ”

"Liar, I hear you keep turning over. ”

"Haven't you been asleep all the time?

Ouyang Yuna sighed: "Hey, it's nothing. I was thinking, what happened to Chu Tianqi today, why was he drunk, and what did he mean by all those words?"

Ning Junqi stretched out his hand and turned on the bedside lamp, turned his body to the side where Ouyang Yuna was lying, and said, "I didn't understand why he was drunk at first, even I didn't understand everything he said. Now that I've figured it out, I'll start with one thing for you. Twenty days ago......"

Ning Junqi told Ouyang Yuna about what happened at the year-end summary meeting in the township, from the beginning Huang Jingzu talked about the achievements of the township and "wearing a top hat" for himself and Chu Tianqi, and talked about Huang Jingzu's sudden proposal for leapfrog development. From Huang Jingzu's words to Chu Tianqi taken out of context and stole beams to change pillars, it is said that Huang Jingzu forcibly led to a proposal to plant celery in an all-round way. From Wang Xiaoying and Jiang Ye taking the lead in expressing their support, to Huang Jingzu's letting him talk about the work arrangement for comprehensive planting of celery.

From his disagreement, to Huang Jingzu's forced Chu Tianqi to explain to himself. From Chu Tianqi also expressed his disagreement, it was said that Huang Jingzu used the so-called public opinion to kidnap the people*. From his request for the director to record his and Chu Tianqi's attitudes, to Wang Xiaoying and Jiang Ye's advocacy of Huang Jingzu's "stinky feet". From Huang Jingzu's sarcasm, stimulation, and blunt knife torture to Chu Tianqi, to his decisive action. From himself and Chu Tianqi joining forces to fight back, talking about "treating others in the way of others", in the end, Huang Jingzu was hit by a stone. And what hit Huang Jingzu was the stone that Huang Jingzu moved to knock down himself and Chu Tianqi, and this stone is the so-called public opinion.

With Ning Junqi's narration, Ouyang Yuna's mood was also nervous, worried, and happy, full of ups and downs.

That is to say, Huang Jingzu must have prepared to attack Chu Tianqi. Even then, Chu Tianqi shouldn't be nervous to that extent, Huang Jingzu only went to the restaurant to show his face, and he was in a low mood and drunk himself?" Ouyang Yuna found it difficult to understand.

In the past 20 days, Huang Jingzu did not say a word to him, but only smiled at him. Think about it, if the leader doesn't talk when he meets, he just laughs, and it is a meaningful smile, can it not be terrifying?" Ning Junqi continued to answer questions.

"Then he's afraid of that, he looks like he's lost a lot of weight, and he was even more drunk yesterday. Ouyang Yuna said with some hatred.

"Yuna, you're wrong. He was not afraid, but love. Ning Junqi said solemnly.

"Love, is there no mistake?" Ouyang Yuna didn't understand.
