Chapter 4: The Reception Feast

When he was about to get off work at noon, Zheng Liyou called Lu Xiangbei to his desk and said: "You live in the countryside, sometimes it is inconvenient to go back and forth, I specially arranged a dormitory for you, just room 107 of the staff dormitory behind the office building, although the house is a little old, but it can still live in people, no way, who makes our unit more housing tight, just this one I tried my best to arrange for you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the key, put it away. After speaking, he handed Lu Xiangbei a key.

Lu Xiangbei hurriedly took the key and said, "Thank you for your trouble." Then he found a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Liyou and helped him light it.

In fact, when the county allocates civil servants to the townships and towns, it has already clearly required the townships and towns to arrange dormitories, otherwise the civil servants will not be given quotas for the next year. The main reason for the county to do this is that it is indeed inconvenient for township and town cadres to go to the countryside frequently and not have a place to live, and at the same time, it is also hoped that young civil servants who have received formal university education in recent years can work at the grassroots level in a down-to-earth manner and play some role. For these requirements in the county, the township will generally implement them. You must know that young civil servants at this time are still a scarce commodity, and if any unit fails to get the target for several consecutive years, it will not have to die in a hurry. But the leader's speech is always level, even if it is official, he can always speak as if he really thinks about you, and you can't help but be grateful. And in fact, this party committee member is also the kind of leader who cares more about his subordinates, and will not only let the horses run but not let the horses eat grass.

"In addition, our unit also has its own canteen, if you want to eat in the canteen, you have to register on the meal registration card before 9 o'clock in the morning every day. At noon today, I have asked the leaders to set up a banquet in Juyuan Building to give you a reception, and the secretary and the mayor may be there, so you can behave well. Zheng Liyou continued.

Lu Xiangbei responded excitedly, not because of the reception banquet, but because Zheng Liyou said that the mayor of the town might participate. However, I have the impression that there was no reception banquet on the day of reporting before rebirth, and this time there can be, it is estimated that his performance this morning has been affirmed by Zheng Liyou, and he will arrange it.

This luncheon, called Jiefeng, is located in a private room in Juyuan Building, when the road to the north followed Zheng Liyou to come, all the wine and food have been put on the table, the wine is Wujiang liquor from the next county, the dishes are local specialties, there are fish, shrimp and crabs and other seafood, as well as poultry such as chickens and ducks, the dishes are very rich, but this is not important. The important thing is that the leaders have all sat down to drink, including the "old acquaintance" Mai Zhonghua whom Lu Xiangbei just met and the former Bole Zhang Deping.

Is this a reception feast? How is it like a leader's eating and drinking feast? Lu Xiangbei suddenly had such a thought in his heart. But soon he was relieved, because he remembered the famous saying: don't take yourself too seriously, but don't take yourself lightly either. As a small civil servant who has just arrived, he is nothing in the eyes of the leader, Zheng Lixin can bring himself here is very good, if you want to quickly get the affirmation of others, especially the mayor, you still have to rely on your own efforts.

"Lixin, this is the new civil servant," the older man sitting in the front seat said to Zheng Liyou, who walked in, and then pointed to the two vacant seats and said, "Come, sit there." "This older man is none other than Zhao Changhua, the Earth Emperor of Huhai Town.

Zheng Liyou pointed to one of the seats and said to Xiangbei: "You sit here." "Okay, you sit first" Lu Xiangbei waited for Zheng Liyou to sit down, and then sat down next to him.

After Lu Xiangbei sat down, everyone started the topic just now, chatting lively, drinking lively, from time to time someone toasted to the leader in the right position, and some people looked for opponents to split wine, the prosperity of the Chinese national wine table culture can also be glimpsed here, but the people sitting seem to have forgotten that this banquet is set up in the name of the new civil servants. Lu Xiangbei, who had adjusted his mentality, also behaved normally, and when everyone drank together, he also picked up the small cup in front of him and drank some, but from time to time he would look at the Sven man with gold wire glasses sitting next to Zhao Changhua, this man was Lu Xiangbei's former Bole - Zhang Deping. And Zhang Deping also seemed to feel something, and smiled at him slightly.

Just when Lu Xiangbei thought that this reception banquet was a staggered continuation of the leaders, the burly man sitting next to him suddenly took a large wine glass filled with liquor and put it in front of Lu Xiangbei, and said in a commanding tone: "Young man, this is your reception wine, and you have to complete the task at one time."

This glass of wine is full of three taels, if you drink it in a few sips, it will definitely be a piece of cake for many people, but many people are still not used to it. Although Lu Xiangbei also has six or seven taels of liquor, he is not good at drinking by nature, and even has some disgust, otherwise he would not have worked in the position of deputy mayor for ten years in his previous life. It was definitely a test to ask him to drink so much in one gulp this time.

Without waiting for Lu Xiangbei to answer, his temporary direct leader Zheng Liyou said: "Drink so much wine in one sip, Lao Chen, this is not your soldier, don't frighten other boys."

"Lao Zheng, what you said is not right, how can a young man be scared, he is not a young man if he is scared. Besides, we don't have a young man in Huhai, everyone says yes." This domineering burly man seemed to be dissatisfied with Zheng Liyou's statement, and immediately refuted it, and even pulled everyone to comment.

I don't know if Lao Chen's popularity is too good, or if everyone wants to see how much this new civil servant drinks, there are really several people who agree with Lao Chen's statement, including Mai Zhonghua, the first "old acquaintance" he met after his rebirth in the north. But fortunately, Lao Chen made such a fuss, and Lu Xiangbei was finally reremembered by the leaders seated.

Zheng Lixin, who originally wanted to protect the road to the north, had to say helplessly: "Look at it, how much can you drink, don't be too reluctant." ”

"Okay, I can do it," Lu Xiangbei said to Zheng Liyou gratefully. In fact, he knew that he had to drink this glass of wine, because it was the wine poured by "Lao Chen". "Lao Chen"'s full name is Chen Guozhu, he is the executive deputy mayor of Huhai Town, he is a veteran, he is bold but a little domineering, the best drink in his life, especially drink in a big gulp, he said that drinking a high number of wine is enough for a man. It's not that southerners don't drink high-number, but after all, there are not many people who drink like this, so Chen Guozhu always finds it difficult to find a soulmate, so every time he sees a newcomer at the wine table, he will ask someone to drink, as if he can find a drinking friend who can have a good drink with him at the wine table. This time the road is coming to the north, so it's strange that he doesn't target him.

Lu Xiangbei thought to himself, anyway, this meal always has to be "tested by alcohol", rather than squirming and leaving a bad impression, it is better to let it out once, at least it will not be flattened. So, he picked up the wine glass and stood up, and said: "Leaders, I just learned to drink liquor, if you don't do well, please criticize and correct more." After speaking, he brought the wine glass to his mouth and calmly poured the 52-degree liquor into his mouth. In fact, when the wine entered his throat, his body was not so calm, and the alcohol seemed to burn his throat, but so many people watched, he couldn't admit it, and he endured the burning sensation and drank the glass of wine. Then he endured the feeling of nausea, and said to Lao Chen with an empty wine glass: "You are right, our young man from Huhai never confesses at the wine table. After speaking, he sat down, and Zheng Liyou next to him hurriedly asked him to eat some food and press wine.

The leaders sitting there saw that Lu Xiangbei really drank this glass of wine, and listened to his words to Lao Chen, and they all smiled. Lao Chen also smiled, patted his thigh and said, "Your baby is energetic in drinking, and her personality is also energetic, I like it." In this way, I also did it, so that no one would say that I, an old man, would bully the baby in the future. After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and then said to himself: "This baby is energetic, this baby is energetic." ”

Lao Chen and Lu Xiangbei, the old and young couple, fought like this, so that everyone had a preliminary impression of Lu Xiangbei. Then, Zhang Deping spoke: "Liyou, the new civil servant doesn't know his name yet, you let him introduce himself." So Zheng Liyou whispered to Lu Xiangbei: "It was Mayor Zhang Deping who spoke just now, you can introduce yourself to the leaders." ”

He finally noticed me, this is a good start, Lu Xiangbei thought to himself, then stood up, and said generously while looking around at the leaders present: "Hello leaders, my name is Lu Xiangbei, and I graduated from Jiangcheng University with a major in history. I am from Huhai, I am very happy to be able to return to my hometown to work this time, and I cherish this opportunity very much, I hope that all leaders can support more, if there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct more. ”

At this time, Zhao Changhua, who was at the seat, said: "The path is right, it's very good, this time I came back to our lake and sea, and you have to contribute to your hometown, you are young and knowledgeable, have momentum, work hard, and the future of the lake and sea will be your young people sooner or later." “
