Section 2 Alcohol
The welcome banquet is set up in the comprehensive hall on the second floor of the south building of the prefectural party committee guest house. Two tables for people. But it seems that the specifications are not low. Zhao Guodong and his entourage followed Director Ma and Secretary General Qiu of the prefectural committee and walked towards the south building with a lively chat. A middle-aged man with a big back and a round belly also walked over just right, surrounded by several people.
"Director Ma. It's been a long time since I've seen a year. I remember the last time you came to the ministry for a meeting last September, right? Director Ma took two steps forward and grabbed the other party's fat hand. I want to have a drink with Secretary Jiang today. ”
"Huh. Director Ma came to our Ningling. It's time for me to accompany Commissioner Ma to drink two cups. Secretary Qi went to Hualin today for research work. I don't think I'll be back until tomorrow. Commissioner Mai is still working in the province and has not returned. Today, only my old Jiang will accompany Director Ma. The man with the big back said with a smile. Please! ”
All the cadres followed the two leaders. Ma Yuan smiled and nodded to a few cadres of the Organization Department who were already waiting in the small hall. While asking casually: "Commissioner Mai is still busy with the matter of withdrawing land and building a city?" ”
Say no? All localities are making great efforts to withdraw land and build cities. We are a little poorer than Ningling. But you have to be face-saving. This is done silently. I can't say anything about it. There is no explanation for the people below. From the deputy director of the Organization Department of the prefectural party committee to the county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee of Tong County. and then to the local committee. Finally, he became the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee in charge of the party and the masses. It can be described as an old-qualified organization cadre. Liu Daoyuan also specifically mentioned him when introducing the leadership of Ningling. He and Liu Daoyuan have also been friends for more than ten years. The relationship has always been good. Even after Yoo Daoyuan went to Pennsylvania. Both of them also exchanged phone calls.
"Huh. You're welcome. You're welcome. This is a major matter that has a bearing on the people of the entire Ningling region. It's worth celebrating. It's worth celebrating. Ma Yuan smiled and agreed. I'm talking. Two more followed. "Director Ma. Late pick-up. I hope forgive my sins! ”
A somewhat shrill voice crept in. Several people behind Ma Yuan stopped in their tracks.
"Old Mu. Where did you and Lao Zhou go? Director Ma: They've all been here for a while. Jiang Yunhua frowned and said.
"Huh. Secretary Jiang. There's something going on over there. I went with Secretary-General Zhou to deal with it. Director Ma is an old acquaintance. You won't forgive us for this little mistake. ”
Walking in front was a skinny man. Small eyes. On the bridge of his nose he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. A slightly larger suit was worn on him. It's really a bit of a monkey and a crown taste. Then one of them slowed down by half a step. With a smile on his face. The fat face was in stark contrast to the monkey-like man in front of him.
Mu Gang. Member of the Ningling Prefectural Committee and Minister of Organization. Zhao Guodong's mind immediately floated Liu Daoyuan's introduction. Liu Daoyuan has just been promoted from the secretary of the Tucheng County Party Committee to the position of head of the organization department. Zhao Guodong doesn't know much about this person either. But think about it, you can go to the position of the head of the organization of the local party committee. You can't do it without some skills.
The latter should be Zhou Chunxiu, member of the prefectural committee and secretary general of the prefectural committee. A feminine name. But he is a real strong man.
"Minister Mu. It's been a long time since you've been sitting with me. Now it's late again. Stay for a while and see for yourself. Secretary Jiang. Do you think Minister Mu and Secretary-General Zhou should be punished? ”
As the deputy director of the Second Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Ma Yuan has a little impression of the members of the prefecture-level team. Although it may not be very familiar. But the name, the image, and their place of origin and general tenure. He knows it all.
Penalties. Old Mu. Old Zhou. Today, Director Ma, on behalf of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, sent the most valuable wealth to our Ningling area. No matter what the big thing is, it can be bigger than this. After a while, each person was fined three glasses of wine. Jiang Yunhua waved his hand. All right. Let's take a seat. ”
Jiang Yunhua and Ma Yuanyi took their seats. Naturally, they sat down around the two of them. Mu Gang sat on Jiang Yunhua's left side. But Zhou Chunxiu sat on Ma Yuan's right. Zhao Guodong and the three of them also spread outward along this center.
It was only accompanied by a deputy secretary general and a deputy director of the organization department of the local party committee, but they were there to humble each other. There is only one position left. Both of them were ostensibly there to push. But no one really noticed this immediately. frowned slightly, and ordered the waiter to add another chair. It's just that there are only a few staff members of the prefectural commission and organization department plus the master at the table over there. The few five people sat very loosely.
A few cold words. A few glasses of wine will also be delicious. The atmosphere slowly rose. Zhao Guodong and the three of them can also be regarded as from the province. I am not afraid of this kind of occasion. It's a bit of a smell of soldiers coming to block the water and flooding the earth.
Jiang Yunhua's originally good face quickly became gloomy because of Mu Gang's words in his ear. But soon it was back to normal.
"Secretary Jiang. This goes down with a few glasses of wine. I haven't even had time to introduce the situation of these comrades. It just so happened that Secretary Jiang, Minister Mu, and Secretary-General Zhou were all here. I'm going to roll out the three of them. It is hoped that the Ningling Prefectural Committee will be able to arrange their work according to their actual conditions. Ma Yuan smiled and looked around. The voice paused before continuing.
"This is Yuan Jianbin. From the Water Conservancy Construction and Management Office of the Provincial Department of Water Resources. This is Qu Yunfeng. From the Cash Crops Division of the Provincial Department of Agriculture. The youngest is Zhao Guodong. From the Comprehensive Planning Division of the Department of Transportation. All three of them were the best local cadres selected by the provincial party committee this time. The Provincial Party Committee also took into account that now we are facing a huge development opportunity in Anwon Province. Therefore, this group of outstanding cadres was specially sent down. It is hoped that they can contribute to the economic development of the Ningling area. ”
"Secretary Qi and Commissioner Mai are here today. On behalf of the Ningling Prefectural Committee and the Executive Office, I would like to welcome the three comrades to work in Ningling. Jiang Yunhua smiled. The conditions in our Ningling area may be more difficult. But we have 5.2 million simple and hard-working people in Ningling. There are abundant natural resources. And we are facing a historic opportunity to withdraw land and build a city. Three young comrades from various departments in the province have come to join our Ningling cadre team. I believe that we can join hands to make our due contribution to the construction of our new Ningling Mausoleum, and Minister Mu, Secretary-General Zhou and other two comrades on behalf of the local party committee and the administrative office toast three of them! ”
Jiang Yunhua stood up. Mu Gang, Zhou Chunxiu, and the other two also followed suit and stood up. Raise your glass.
Zhao Guodong and the three of them also hurriedly stood up. Hold your glass in both hands.
The hot Ningling Daqu was swallowed in one gulp. This 60-degree high spirit has a fiery taste that burns the throat. Such a large cup to swallow. Suddenly, a wave of heat spread along his throat.
Once the wine war begins. It's not like you can stop if you want to.
Zhao Guodong passively accepted the two escorts' moves. Then began to fight back. Start with Secretary Jiang. Challenge them one by one.
Both Liu Daoyuan and Liu Zhaoguo reminded him. When you go down to the grassroots level, you have to pay attention to some details. Especially at the dinner table. Many leaders like to observe a person by their performance at the dinner table. It doesn't matter if you don't drink enough. But you have to take your temperament out. You can't hide it. Nor can we cower. You can't step on fake water. Even if you go down with three cups, it will fall down. At least that proves that you are a decent person.
Jiang Yunhua, Mu Gang and Zhou Chunxiu are the leaders. Zhao Guodong pursues the leadership and toasts himself at will. Immediately won a trace of favor from the trio. The other two deputy secretaries-general and vice ministers drank half of Zhao Guodong's toast...... Finally, there is the tribute to Ma Yuan. Six cups in a lap down the belly. Remain calm. Seeing that Jiang Yunhua and Ma Yuan all nodded secretly. With this amount of alcohol, you won't suffer a loss in the county.
Yuan Jianbin is not shallow in drinking. He is similar to Zhao Guodong. It's all done alone. However, he is gentler than Zhao Guodong. 1/2 cup at a time. The leaders are all casual. A little ambush was fought in the quantity. The only one who was a little more painful was Qu Yunfeng. Facing the performance of Zhao Guodong and Yuan Jianbin. The only thing he could do was to drink three glasses in a row, which was regarded as a salute to all the leaders and colleagues present. Then it's time to pluck the glass.
Zhao Guodong also admired Qu Yunfeng a little. After these three cups, his face turned iron-blue. I sat for only three minutes. I couldn't control it anymore and went straight to the bathroom
Zhao Guodong saw this scene. I also saw Yuan Jianbin talking after drinking. The conversation with the deputy minister was speculative. The only way to go out is to follow along. Help with tidying. It took a while for Qu Yunfeng to come out of the bathroom. His eyes were bloodshot.
Zhao Guodong sighed. Pick up the prepared cup of tea and hand it over. Let him do this. The amount of alcohol is not good, but in this case you don't show so-called sincerity. I am afraid that the leader will have an opinion. So there is only one way to sacrifice one's life to accompany the gentleman.
saw Zhao Guodong accompanying Qu Yunfeng back. Jiang Yunhua also hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqu." It's okay, let's have a bowl of noodles to fill your appetite. It seems that the amount of koji alcohol is average. If you can't drink it, don't drink it. That's what it means. ”
Qu Yunfeng also held back the discomfort in his heart. He just nodded silently and sat in his chair without saying a word. I'm afraid to speak. The smell of fire in my stomach was about to come out again.
In the few minutes that Zhao Guodong accompanied Qu Yunfeng out. Yuan Jianbin has become a man of the hour on the table. He opened the way with a double glass of wine. Start with Jiang Yunhua. Continuous challenges. forced a group of people, including Ma Yuan, to praise again and again. Each person is treated with two glasses of wine in one sip. And the other side is casual. forced Jiang Yunhua and the others to only raise a glass and drink to accompany each other.
Twelve cups down later. Yuan Jianbin's face was slightly red. But the demeanor remains the same. On the contrary, it is more robust to talk about it. From the water conservancy situation of Anyuan to the adjustment of the country's water conservancy policy in the next few years. It's all like flowing water. Even Jiang Yunhua and Zhou Chunxiu were appreciative. I was quite attracted by his words.
There is very little increase in monthly passes. Anxious in my heart. I need a commuter pass urgently!
