The banquet is located in the small banquet hall on the second floor of the Belvedere Hotel, which is the most luxurious hotel in Housha Town, and in terms of hardware facilities, it is not inferior to the Shiwan Hotel in Shiwan Town, the county seat.

There were five tables in the small banquet hall, and all the people of the four sets of teams in Housha Town gathered together, which was indeed quite grand from the perspective of reception specifications, which showed that Housha Town attached great importance to the investigation of the county magistrate of Xiaozhao.

Zhao Changfeng sat at the top of the table in the middle, on his left, Xuan Tianrong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Housha Town, on the right was Mo Yuegen, director of the Political Axe Office, and then Wang Ducheng, the mayor of the town, followed by the deputy secretary and deputy mayor, including the chairman of the presidium of the Housha Town People's Congress and the chairman of the Housha Town Joint Working Committee. The rest waited and sat down at four tables around them. Fang Zhonghai sat on the south side of a table on the left, only a few steps away from Zhao Changfeng's position, always paying attention to the situation on Zhao Changfeng's side.

After Zhao Changfeng sat down, Xuan Tianrong leaned over diligently and said with a smile: "County magistrate, the comrades just said that the first time I had dinner with the county magistrate, I had to drink some wine." ”

Zhao Changfeng groaned and said, "Then come a little less, don't affect the afternoon's work." ”

"Yes, yes, just drink a little, that's what it means." Xuan Tianrong promised in his mouth, but secretly said in his heart, this drink can't help you, County Magistrate Xiao Zhao. He asked again: "County magistrate, I don't know what kind of wine you like to drink?" ”

Mo Yuegen interjected on the side: "Lao Xuan, let's go to Wuliangye." The power is lower. The county magistrate is not very well, and these people drink every day! ”

Xuan Tianrong was even more happy in his heart, what he wanted was the effect of drinking every day. As he spoke, he instructed the restaurant manager who was waiting on the side: "Go, bring ten years of Wuliangye over, two bottles per table." ”

The restaurant manager answered and trotted over. It didn't take much effort, he personally brought the wine, and the service lady on the side just wanted to take it, but the restaurant manager glared at her fiercely and said, "Serve the food." Then he pulled the wine out of the box and prepared to pour it.

Xuan Tianrong stood up, snatched it from the restaurant manager, and said, "I'll come!" Then he opened the wine bottle and poured wine for Zhao Changfeng himself. Then Wang Ducheng said: "Secretary Xuan, let me come." He took the wine bottle again and poured it for Director Mo Yuegen. Then the deputy secretary Wei Wanyan took the wine bottle from Wang Ducheng's hand, poured it for Xuan Tianrong and Wang Ducheng, and then was snatched by the next person. It took a few pours of the hand, and it took everyone at the table to fill their glasses.

As for the other wine tables, the waiters brought the wine, and the rules were not as clear as the middle table, and the wine glasses were filled early.

Xuan Tianrong took the lead in standing up, holding the wine glass in both hands, and said respectfully: "County magistrate, the instructions you made today are of great guiding significance and practical significance to the future work of our town, and they are really timely!" I believe that the cadres and workers of the town, with your encouragement, will surely achieve new and greater achievements. This glass of wine, not I respect you, on behalf of all the cadres and workers of Housha Town, you are free, I did it! ”

"Secretary Xuan, I hope you will support my work more in the future!" Zhao Changfeng raised his wine glass with one hand.

Xuan Tianrong hurriedly bowed down, stretched out his hands, touched the bottom of Zhao Changfeng's cup with the mouth of the cup, and said: "County magistrate, don't worry, all the cadres and workers of Housha Town will fully support your work." As he spoke, he tilted his neck, and there was not a drop of wine left in the glass.

Regardless of whether Xuan Tianrong was sincere or false, in short, Xuan Tianrong, a subordinate who gave Zhao Changfeng enough face, Zhao Changfeng naturally had to express it appropriately, he also raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"Good! The county magistrate and Secretary Xuan are both good drinkers! Seeing that Xuan Tianrong had made friends with County Magistrate Xiao Zhao so quickly, Mayor Wang Ducheng was obviously jealous to death, so he shouted hello in his mouth and was the first to applaud. There was thunderous applause for a while.

After Xuan Tianrong sat down, Wang Ducheng couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and stand up, he had twice as many smiles on his face as Xuan Tianrong, and the angle of his body was ten degrees lower than that of Xuan Tianrong: "County magistrate, I am a rough person and can't speak." Don't say anything beautiful, how about Lao Wang in the future, please see my actual actions, county magistrate! The words are vaguely reflected, and Xuan Tianrong, the secretary of the town party committee, is a person who can only say beautiful things.

Without waiting for Zhao Changfeng to react, Wang Ducheng had already drunk the wine in the cup with his neck up, then turned his head and said to the waiter: "Take a big cup!" ”

The waiter hurriedly took a glass and put it in front of Wang Ducheng, Wang Ducheng picked up the unopened bottle of Wuliangye and unscrewed it, and poured a glass full of it, which was more than three taels. Wang Ducheng poured a full glass of wine, raised the glass with both hands and said to Zhao Changfeng: "County magistrate, I toast you, you are free, I will finish drinking." As he spoke, he touched Zhao Changfeng's wine glass, raised his head, moved his throat a few times, and drank all the three taels of liquor in one go.

"Alas, Lao Wang, what shall I say about you?" Zhao Changfeng shook his head helplessly and finished the second glass of wine.

Wang Ducheng drank more than three taels of liquor in one go, his stomach burned, and a hot breath surged up in his throat, but when he heard Zhao Changfeng's address to him change from "Mayor Wang" to "Old Wang", he suddenly felt comfortable, and the whole person seemed to be floating in the clouds.

Of course, Xuan Tianrong heard Wang Ducheng's sarcasm and sarcasm in and out of his words, but at this moment, his focus was no longer on himself, but on Zhao Changfeng. Wang Ducheng sarcastically said that it didn't matter, as long as he could make Zhao Changfeng drink, Xuan Tianrong would be happy.

The top leaders of the party and government have taken the lead, and others will naturally not miss this opportunity, and they all want to pick up their cups and lean in front of County Magistrate Xiao Zhao, in order to leave a deep impression on County Magistrate Xiao Zhao.

Mo Yuegen didn't look good, there are forty or fifty people here in Housha Town today, that is, everyone toasts County Magistrate Zhao with a glass of wine, can County Magistrate Zhao stand it? He stood up and wanted to block the wine for Zhao Changfeng, but Xuan Tianrong grabbed Mo Yuegen with a wine glass: "Director Mo, you haven't been to Housha Town for a long time, do you have any opinions about my brother?" Come, I will punish myself with three cups today and make amends to Director Mo. ”

Zhao Changfeng came to Housha Town today with the purpose of appeasing the army. However, how correct the starting point of environmental protection and labor inspection is, but after all, it has had a serious impact on Housha Town, which is based on shoemaking enterprises, and if Zhao Changfeng is not worried about these leading cadres in Housha Town, then these leading cadres are likely to be killed.

It is precisely based on this psychology that Zhao Changfeng almost did not refuse to toast the leading cadres of Housha Town. Mo Yuegen was entangled by Xuan Tianrong and several other cadres, and he couldn't get out of his body for a while, so he gave Fang Zhonghai on the table next to him a look, and asked Fang Zhonghai to block the wine for Zhao Changfeng, but this Fang Zhonghai was also hateful, he obviously saw Mo Yuegen's eyes, but he just sat there and pretended to be deaf and dumb, without the slightest intention of going up to block the wine for Zhao Changfeng.

Zhao Changfeng has been squatting for more than ten days to investigate, although he has also left to drink, but most of them are meaningful, he has never been as crazy as today, and he was surrounded by a group of cadres of different sizes holding wine glasses. Zhao Changfeng still did it to the end at first, and then he raised his wine glass to mean it, even if he touched his lips, even so, he drank a lot of wine.

Suddenly, Wei Wanyan, the deputy secretary in charge of the party and the masses in Housha Town, squeezed over with a tray, and there were three glasses in the tray. Then he said to Zhao Changfeng bitterly: "County magistrate, I was too reckless today, I'm sorry for you." I make amends to you! ”

As he spoke, he raised a wine glass and poured it down his neck.

Zhao Changfeng looked at Wei Wanyan with a smile and did not stop him.

Wei Wanyan drank the first glass of wine, saw that Zhao Changfeng didn't speak, didn't say a word, and took the second glass of wine and poured it down his throat. Compared with the first glass of wine, Wei Wanyan's second glass of wine was a little difficult to drink. When he had finished drinking, he wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his hand and was about to serve a third glass of wine.

"Okay, what are you doing here?" Zhao Changfeng stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Comrade Wan Yan, didn't I say it at the meeting, if you have any opinions, just put them forward." ”

"County magistrate, you don't blame me for that?" Wei Wanyan stopped and looked up at Zhao Changfeng.

Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "It's a normal procedure at the meeting, so what's to blame." ”

When Wei Wanyan heard this, he immediately took a glass and put it in front of Zhao Changfeng, reached out and filled the glass with wine, and held the glass of wine in front of Zhao Changfeng with both hands: "County magistrate, if you really forgive me, allow me to toast you with this glass of bar." ”

Zhao Changfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Wanyan in front of him, and said in his heart, how could a leader be allowed to drink like this? Isn't that a clear attempt to get me drunk? He swept his gaze and found that Xuan Tianrong was entangled with Mo Yuegen over there. Zhao Changfeng smiled, it turned out that today's banquet turned out to be a Hongmen banquet. Well, let you vent. After so many of you've been shut down, it's time for me to drink more.

"Comrade Wan Yan, aren't you a strong man?" Zhao Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile, took the wine glass from Wei Wanyan's hand and said, "Come, let's do it!" ”

Wei Wanyan was overjoyed, hurriedly picked up the remaining glass of wine, touched Zhao Changfeng hard, and then raised his neck and drank it in one go, waiting for him to put down the wine glass, but saw Zhao Changfeng holding the cup horizontally and shining the bottom of the cup to him. It turned out that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao had already finished drinking.

Mo Yuegen looked shocked over there, he didn't care about Xuan Tianrong's entanglement, stretched out his hand to push Xuan Tianrong away, and walked over quickly.

"County magistrate, don't you still have to receive guests from the province in the afternoon?" Mo Yuegen leaned over to Zhao Changfeng's side and said.

Zhao Changfeng knew that Mo Yuegen wanted to relieve him, but he had already drunk so much, wouldn't it be halfway to retreat at this time? What's more, Zhao Changfeng is different from others, he has no reaction to alcohol, and he drinks as much as he drinks water. With such a physique that is not drunk, is he still afraid of the siege of the cadres in Housha Town?
