Chapter 18: Gathering III

The development planning department is the core department of Red Star Company, and although the external entertainment is not as good as the marketing department, it is not small. Lu Qi realized early on that the amount of alcohol is combat effectiveness, and the depth of alcohol greatly represents the ability to work. Almost all the leaders at all levels she knows are good at drinking.

Lu Qi's alcohol consumption is not shallow. She didn't even know what her amount was. Her good drink is legendary in the Red Star. Tao Tang's predecessor Song Yue took office at the beginning, because a certain state-allocated technical transformation project successfully passed the acceptance, Song Yue was very happy, and invited the chief section chiefs of the Development and Regulation Department to celebrate, aiming at the beautiful female middle school cadre Lu Qi, and kept looking for reasons to clink glasses with Lu Qi, Lu Qi said helplessly, "Let's talk about wine, now the leader is on top and I am down, you can say a few times." ”

The crowd applauded.

That time, Lu Qi drank Song Yue over. Song Yue was finally carried back to the hotel by the secretary. Duan Hui, who was in charge of the project, was already unconscious, but Lu Qi returned home as usual, without the slightest gaffe.

Lu Qi became famous for this. But she learned her lesson, because the fight brought her a lot of negative rumors. Therefore, she set a rule for herself, not on an extraordinary occasion, never touch liquor, even Luo Chong, the leader in charge of the hair regulation department, persuaded her not to move.

Today is naturally a special situation in her mind. She had a lot to ask Tao Tang, especially after the brief recounting of their lives in her office that day. She wanted to know the "story" of Tao Tang's wife's death, how he had come over in the past few years, he was still young, only forty-three years old, what plans did he have for his future life? She even had an impulse to tell him that she had never forgotten him, but as soon as this thought arose, she snuffed it out, if Tao Tang didn't come back as the leader of the red star, even if he was poor, she could "choose the opportunity" to pour out her thoughts that had been hidden for more than 20 years. But not anymore, she didn't want him to have a misunderstanding and think that she was trying something.

Everyone is an adult, and Lu Qi believes that he can control it. That's right, I once secretly liked him, but it was just a colorful dream of a girl, and there would be no consequences if I said it, but I made myself a matter of heart.

After the common three small glasses of liquor, the banquet entered the stage of free play, and Lu Qijiu poured a glass without shiken. And another woman, Gu Meijun, is more bold, extremely active, and witty, she can always find a reason to toast, just touching three glasses with Tao Tang in a row, and it is a big cup - Gu Meijun sneered that the wine utensils prepared by Tang Yikun were for the girls, "Change the big one, it's too verbose." ”

The wine glasses are quaint and simple, and each glass is enough to hold three coins.

"We haven't seen each other in twenty-five years, should we have a toast? You have been separated for 25 years and have never contacted your classmates, should you be fined a drink? You have been promoted to the top of the red star, should you celebrate? A small cup is too verbose, we've been here once! I'll accompany you, let's go big! Gu Meijun forced Tao Tang.

Tao Tang couldn't refuse.

Zhou Hongyou smiled and watched the two of them fight for wine. After the two of them drank, they said to Gu Meijun, "Squad Leader Gu, I'm afraid you will plant it today." A few days ago, Secretary Wang and Mayor Shangguan picked up Tao Tang, and I could see how much he drank. ”

"Really? Why didn't you say it earlier? Not interesting enough. However, I hurt my body and not hurt my feelings, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains. She heard Zhou Hongyou's implication that Tao Tang had a background, otherwise the main leaders of the city would not have taken over the wind for the top leaders of central enterprises.

Gu Meijun really did what she said, she then found Lu Qi, and the two of them toasted twice, followed by Sun Dunquan and Han Ruilin. Gu Meijun raised his head to attack, and the atmosphere immediately set off. The drinking party is like this, if the female guest takes the initiative, the effect is very different.

Han Ruilin has been paying attention to Gu Meijun, and when she challenged Zhou Hongyou, she leaned over and said to Sun Dunquan, "Now I know that being a leader really requires quality." ”

Sun Dunquan raised his eyebrows, "If you were them, you would have practiced it a long time ago." Moreover, good wine is hard to get drunk. ”

The two bottles of 52 degrees Wuliangye opened on the table were dried up in less than half an hour, and someone immediately moved in a box. Tang Yikun, who was full of red light, was very happy, waved off the waiter, and personally added wine to everyone, "Brothers and sisters, I am here to eat, drink and have fun, singing, playing cards, sauna, sports, in the water, on land, everything you can think of, I have it all here." I must have fun drinking today, otherwise I will look down on Old Tang. ”

"Bragging, you," Gu Meijun came to Tao Tang again with a wine glass, "Tao Tang, can you please do something?" ”

"You say."

"Transfer your basic account to me, which can be regarded as a support for me."

"As I said just now, I only talk about friendship, not business. You foul the game, get a drink. Tao Tang's face did not change, "The wine order is greater than the military order, and the rules are used to enforce it." ”

"Okay, I'll admit the punishment. I'll ask you in Bei'an another day, don't miss the appointment. Gu Meijun pleaded guilty and toasted, "You can't sit like a mountain, don't you also respect everyone?" ”

"No problem. But let me start with a few words. Thank you, students, you see, there are our parents here, and when it comes to government affairs, there are naturally friends in the pocket. Capital is the blood of an enterprise, and it is inevitable to find a bank loan, especially if it is difficult to operate like Red Star. I didn't expect our squad leader to be the CEO of the company, so it became simple. There is also our old Tang, now the wealth is strong, if the red star asks for the door, the old Tang can't shirk it. Lu Qi and Ruilin are both the backbone of Red Star, and they know much more about Red Star's situation than I do, and with their help, I am naturally a little more relaxed. Lao Sun is even more amazing, it would be even more beautiful if I could borrow your huge pen like a rafter to write a few articles for Red Star. Anyway, thank you, I toast three times in a row to express my gratitude, everyone feel free. No, this is not about work, squad leader Gu, don't look at me with that kind of look, it's completely a classmate's feelings, right? ”

"Hey, you're really good at it. However, since you punished yourself with three cups, we won't say that you fouled. In this case, let me have a drink. Zhou Hongyou stood up, "Help each other." Ha ha. ”

"It's serious, where is East Lake as rich as Red Star, I will also accompany a cup. Why don't we have one together? ”

Sun Dunquan and Lu Qi and Han Ruilin naturally would not refute Tao Tang's face. Under the gaze of everyone, Tao Tang drank two cups first, and drank the third cup together.

Tao Tang turned to Lu Qi and moved his chair over, "Listening to the song "You at the Same Table", I can always think of you." Borrow the wine of the old Tang and toast the former tablemates with a glass. May you live forever and do everything as you wish. ”

"No, no, no, not a cup. It took a hundred years to repair the same boat ferry, and once at the same table, it is at least better than the same boat ferry. Zhou Hongyou heard Tao Tang's words and laughed, "Do you say it?" ”

"That's that, that's." Tang Yikun nodded, "That's right." At least three cups. ”

An inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart, and Lu Qi's eyes moistened, "Listen to you, I'll accompany you." ”

"It's refreshing enough, Lu Qi has said this, let's change the big cup." Tang Yikun clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter came in, "Bring a big cup." ”

He poured three cups in a row in the thin waist cup, "Do it first for respect." Tao Tang drank a glass of wine and poured it for himself, "You will help me more in the future." ”

"You eat some food...... Lu Qi said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm happy today," Tao Tang didn't eat food, and came directly to Han Ruilin's side, "Old classmate, let's go one?" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tao, I respect you." Han Ruilin hurriedly stood up.

"Penalty for drinking!" Tao Tang smiled and said, "You violated Zhou Hongyou's rules." ”

"I admit punishment, I admit punishment. However, in the future, Mr. Tao will have more guidance. Han Ruilin stammered.

"Hurry up, and you're going to be punished again." Sun Dunquan reminded.

Tao Tang turned around, and Zhou Hongyou played. The deputy mayor toasted, even if Han Ruilin was not strong enough to drink, he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and the two bottles of wine were soon empty again.

In the end, Tang Yikun circled, "I haven't had such fun for a long time." Students, I have a proposal, baijiu, this is the last bottle. Let's slow down, or we'll waste a good table. After dinner, let's change places and have a good chat. ”

"Let's sing, Lao Tang has the best K hall in Pingquan here, and the sound effect is absolutely first-class." Gu Meijun said.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qi Ping, the manager of the club, came in with a tall wine glass, "Mr. Tang, I'll give your classmates a drink, okay?" ”

"Absolutely. You should have come a long time ago. Let me introduce. Everyone, Manager Qi Ping, the top manager of the club, Mr. Tao, the chairman of Red Star Company," he introduced Tao Tang to Qi Ping first.

"I've admired you for a long time, and we always mention you often. In this way, you feel free, I drink half. She picked up the bottle on the table and poured herself a small half-glass, at least one or two.

"Thank you, Manager Qi......" Tao Tang politely touched the cup with Qi Ping.

"Welcome Mr. Tao to come to the club often to guide the work." Qi Ping drank it all, and without waiting for Tang Yikun to speak, Qi Ping came to Zhou Hongyou, "Mayor Zhou, give Xiao Qi a face, right?" ”

"Look at what you said......" Zhou Hongyou personally poured wine for Qi Ping, and the two clinked glasses and went their separate ways.

Qi Ping then came to Gu Meijun, "Mr. Gu, it's not the first time for the two of us, you haven't had time to come." ”

"Xiao Qi, you should respect the friends of the Red Star." Gu Meijun seems to be a frequent visitor to the club.

"Of course, didn't I come next to each other?"

Lu Qi took her attention away from Tao Tang and watched the graceful female manager of the club toast the guests one by one, during which she didn't eat a mouthful of food, and by the time she finished here, she had already drunk half a catty.

"You missed a ......" Seeing Qi Ping coming with a smile, Lu Qi stood up.

"Don is always my boss. I said that I came to pay tribute to Mr. Tang's distinguished guest. Oh, are you really Mr. Tang's classmate? Right? ”

"I'm definitely older than you, and a lot older."

"Ah, I used to envy Mr. Gu's skills, but I didn't expect to have a new idol. Sister Lu, you have to leave a phone number, I can ask for advice at any time. ”

"Don't flatter each other. Besides, it makes me embarrassed. Hurry up. Gu Meijun said with a smile.

After clinking glasses with Lu Qi, Qi Ping really asked Lu Qi for a phone, "Mr. Tang, do you think you are going to order staple food?" Also, do you have to make other arrangements? ”

"You look at the staple food, there are more tricks. Just now, Mr. Gu said that he wanted to sing, you can arrange it. ”

"Okay. Everyone, please use it slowly. Qi Ping saluted and went out.

Sun Dunquan has always wanted to write an online article about grassroots entrepreneurship, but he suffers from a serious lack of life experience, otherwise he would not have come to the East Lake Club with his cynical nature. But he didn't tell Tao Tang his true purpose. When the banquet entered the final stage, Sun Dunquan found Tang Yikun.

"Old Tang, I want to ask you for a favor."

Of course, Tang Yikun couldn't guess what Sun Dunquan thought, so he snorted, "You say, as long as I can do it." "I don't know how many people have begged him to do things over the years, and begging people and being begged for have formed the main content of his life. Whether to do it or not to do it He has a precise ruler in his heart, and Sun Dunquan is definitely not among the crowd of people who he will definitely agree to and work hard to achieve his goal.

"You can do it for sure. I'm not looking for you to buy a house cheaply. Sun Dunquan immediately dispelled Tang Yikun's concerns.

"Haha, it's okay to buy a house."

"Old Tang, I believe there aren't many people who call you that, isn't it new? Don, can you take the time to tell me about your entrepreneurial history? I'm interested, really. In particular, how you got your first pot of gold is the most important. ”

"What do you know about this?" Tang Yikun immediately became vigilant.

"Do you know what I do for a living now?"

"To be honest, I don't know. Everyone has their own way of survival......"

"I sell words for a living. You probably won't really understand, I want to write a book about entrepreneurship and want to use you as a prototype. Rest assured, in my vision, you are the modern version of the carp jumping the dragon gate, except for career expansion, all personal family and emotional stories have nothing to do with you. It's completely fictional. ”

"Why are you writing this?"

"Readers like it? All people have dreams of wealth and fantasize about being the lucky ones with billions of fortunes. In my real life, you are the only real billionaire I know. How's that, can it fulfill my wishes? ”

"Nope." Tang Yikun immediately refused.

"Why?"

"Not why. Lao Sun, it's not that my brother doesn't help, it's because my brother doesn't want to recall those difficult days in the past...... You won't understand that. If you want to buy a house in my real estate and get some discounts, you can also negotiate, the one you said, absolutely not. ”

"I have always thought that at least more than seventy percent of the rich people produced since the reform and opening up have original sin. Are you the same? Why don't you want to talk about the first pot of gold in entrepreneurship? In fact, that is the most touching part...... "The drunken Sun Dun is not relenting."

"Write whoever you want, don't look for me. It's true. ”

"Then you introduce me to one? Similar things gather, there are always rich people who are willing to show their most proud strokes, right? ”

"I never cared how someone else started a business, and as far as I know, no one would tell an unrelated person about their past." Tang Yikun's eyes were cold.

"Forget it, don't be strong." Tao Tang made a round.

"That's it, don't force Big Boss Tang......" I don't know why, Lu Qi is in a little wrong today, her head is starting to get dizzy, and there is a double image in front of her eyes, "Tao Tang, come and sit ......" She patted the empty chair beside her.

"Hmm, isn't it a little uncomfortable?" Tao Tang saw that Lu Qi was already flushed, and he looked even more gorgeous.

"No, it doesn't matter. Maybe the wine doesn't taste right...... I want to know, your lady, what the hell is going on with her......"

"Drink some grape juice, you shouldn't have drunk it so violently just now." Tao Tang pushed the grape juice to Lu Qi's hand.

"What's there to say...... I care about you......"

"I know. I don't want to talk about these ...... today" Tao Tang's gaze met with Lu Qi and immediately dodged it.

Just when Zhou Hongyou came over, "How did you feel in the past few days?" I think your Mr. Feng is very important to you. ”

"Roast me on the fire. How can you be idle in the headquarters office? Don't worry about this kind of weight. ”

"The number one Red Star must be reused, congratulations again." Zhou Hongyou took a cup, Tao Tang touched it, and each took a sip, "It's really difficult for Hongxing right now, and there are many people who send letters to the city to complain...... Dude is going to start from there? ”

Feng Shizhao's trip was highly valued by the province, and after Pingquan's affair was completed, Mayor Shangguan Hong accompanied him to Bei'an, the provincial capital. Zhou Hongyou did not accompany him to the provincial capital, but according to the information he received, Governor Xing, who is also an alternate member of the Central Committee, met with Feng Shizhao, and the two sides successfully reached a so-called strategic cooperation agreement. Provincial TV 1 broadcast the second article of "G Province News" the next day, "...... Our province and China Brilliant Machinery Industry Group Corporation have reached a strategic cooperation agreement, and the two sides will strengthen cooperation in a series of fields...... "but as far as Brilliant Group is concerned, its enterprises in Bei'an are not as good as Red Star Company in Pingquan in terms of scale and influence.

"I don't know...... Always have to survive and then develop. Don't look at me I grew up in Red Star, but my understanding of it is extremely superficial, and I really can't say it. ”

"I know a little bit about Red Star. Old Tao, Red Star needs to be reborn once in the fire. This opportunity is just around the corner, the city's new city construction plan has basically been recognized by the province, I happen to be in charge of this part, why don't we cooperate? If you do it well, you will get rid of all the historical baggage of Red Star at once, which is much faster than engaging in product development and market expansion. ”

"I've heard some official news before. In principle, the headquarters supports the relocation and reorganization of Red Star. But I haven't studied it. The current situation does not allow me to devote more energy to this work, and I can't eat enough. I won't hide it from you, I was surrounded by people when I went to the workshop today. ”

"The Red Star family has a big business, and the historical burden is particularly heavy, and it is difficult for ordinary means to get out of trouble to be effective, so you have to find another way."

"yes."

"If you need me to help, just speak. However, you are a central enterprise, and you have always had sparse contacts with the city, and I am not in charge of the labor and delivery, so I am afraid that I will not be able to help much. ”

"No, I'm very grateful for your words."

"Outside, aren't you? Come to my house another day, and we'll get together in a small area. ”

"It's better to come to the factory, which can be regarded as support for me."

"Forget it. It's arrogant to say that you are sensitive. But the official body can't help himself, it's really the truth. If you are in a central enterprise, you will definitely understand my difficulties. ”

"By the way, who else is in the factory at home?"

"No one. You're all gone...... By the way, what about your parents, are they still in the factory? Physically, okay? ”

The developed son will not leave his relatives in a profitable enterprise, Tao Tang is not surprised, "They follow me in Binjiang and have to come back, after all, they have lived here for most of their lives, and I will pick them up after a while." ”

"Okay, I'll visit the second elder then. What about the lady and the children? Come back with you too? I didn't have to ask at the city hall guest house that day. ”

"No, my child is in junior high school in Binjiang, and I don't want her to transfer schools."

"That's right. People like us are like rootless wanderers, who don't know where to go next, and it's right that they don't come back. I don't have time, I have to rush back to the meeting. Zhou Hongyou looked at his watch, got up and shook hands with Lu Qi, Han Ruilin, Sun Dunquan, and Gu Meijun and said goodbye, "Everyone use it slowly, let Lao Tang arrange it easily and easily after the end, it's the weekend, don't rush home." ”

Tang Yikun asked Zhou Hongyou, "Do you have to go?" ”

Zhou Hongyou pointed to the ceiling, "No way, I'm really sorry." You greet everyone. ”

"Well, I'll send you on behalf of everyone." Tang Yikun made a gesture to Tao Tang and the others, and accompanied Zhou Hongyou out of the private room.

Zhou Hongyou is a frequent visitor to the clubhouse. But Tang didn't expect that this would be Zhou Hongyou's last guest at the club.
