Yan Lin said with some surprise: "In the current environment, I'm afraid it's difficult to quit drinking." Sometimes when there is no alcohol, the atmosphere is not lively. Especially if you don't know each other, it's hard not to drink. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Although this matter is diǎn difficult, it is better to quit drinking than drinking and making mistakes." ”

Yan Lin said: "Compared with a few years ago, you have really changed a lot. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Of course there will be changes, society is progressing, and people must change." I just want to stand up for my values in this changing society. ”

While chatting, Li Lingqiu came over and said, "I just received a call from a comrade of the Disabled Persons' Federation, Lao Huang, who came to us today, was called to the Disabled Persons' Federation, and the Disabled Persons' Federation negotiated with him." Lao Huang said that he would support the work of the town, and he made a request, as long as he considered the problem of his façade house, he would not trouble the government again. ”

Wang Qiao had a headache and said: "His house is not a façade house in the first place, and it is subsidized according to the façade room, and a bowl of water is uneven." ”

Li Lingqiu explained: "I have been to Lao Huang's house, and he now lives in a bungalow, and it is definitely not a commercial house on the real estate certificate, but it is indeed a shop. Moving to the building, the store would definitely not be opened, and he asked for compensation. He has a familial inheritance of hypochondrosis, and he is not good at walking, and his son is also suffering from this disease, and now he has also entered the school run by the Disabled Persons' Federation, so he has to listen to the Disabled Persons' Federation. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Lao Huang's situation is a case, even if we want to help, we can't help on the bright side, we have to consider other roundabout methods." Secretary Li was familiar with the situation, thought about it carefully, put forward a plan, and discussed it at the office meeting. ”

When Yan Lin and Li Lingqiu left the office, Wang Qiao said secretly: "I won't drink from now on, is there a diǎn twist?" When he reflected on himself, he immediately remembered his father.

Father Wang Yongde adheres to his own principles and lives according to his own values, and in the eyes of his youth, his father is a rather screwed person.

However, now that he has been tempered by life, Wang Qiao can come to three conclusions when he looks back at his father:

One is that my father insists on living a life that he wants, which does not harm others, but benefits many people, which is the value he adheres to, which is commendable;

(7) dǐng (7) diǎn (7) 小 (7) said, .≥.o+s_ (); The second is that he was the last person he wanted to be like his father, but in fact, his father's influence has penetrated deep into his soul. I thought I could become a different person from my father, but time proved that I was getting closer and closer to my father.

Third, what is success? Before college, the concept of success was to escape the country life and live a life of pretending to be rich and well-fed in the big city. When I was in college, the concept of success was to be a character like Hou Weidong, who could decide the fate of others, and be admired and followed. And now there is a subtle change in the concept of success, which is to realize one's own outlook on life and values. This diǎn and the second one actually overlap considerably, but there are subtle changes.

After getting off work, Hou Hongxing called Yan Lin: "Have Tian Feng and Lao Duan arrived, where are they arranged for the evening?" You don't have to arrange it, I'll invite them to eat hot pot fat intestine fish. In the past, when I was in a repeater class, I often told them about the delicacy of hot pot fatty intestine fish, which made their mouths water. If they can come to Changdong today, they must be able to get what they want. ”

Yan Lin said: "It is estimated that there is still half an hour before we reach Changdong. ”

Wang Qiao said: "You go to pick them up, I'll wait for them at the old fat intestine hot pot fish shop in the back street of the normal school." ”

Soon after putting down the phone, the two went out almost at the same time and met again in the aisle. Wang Qiao said: "Then I'll go over first and walk, so as not to grow a big belly when I get it." ”

Yan Lin said: "Okay, after I receive someone, come over directly." ”

Wang Qiao walked all the way to the back street of the Normal School, and his eyes stopped at the gate of the teacher's model school for a while, and then turned to other places. He walked into the fat intestine hot pot fish, and as soon as he saw the banner of "Ten years old shop, Tong Suo is not bullied", he was immediately recognized by the proprietress and said, "Wang Zhen, come to eat." ”

For more than ten years, the proprietress still looks the same at a glance, but it has changed quite a lot, with fat on her face and neck, gray hair, and rings on her fingers that don't look cheap. She didn't remember that the young man in front of her had been a normal student seven or eight years ago, and had drunk here once. She only knew that the person in front of her was the mayor of Chengguan Town, and he was a powerful leader.

The proprietress personally took Wang Qiao upstairs, transferred the largest single room, and smiled enthusiastically: "In the past, Director Guo or Director Zhao brought it over to dinner, why did Wang Zhen come over in person today?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "Today is a private treat, and they are all old friends, so there is no trouble with the people in the unit." ”

After sitting in the private room for more than twenty minutes, he heard the familiar voices of Tian Feng and Duan Fitter.

The first person to walk into the room was Yan Lin. She changed into a red dress, wore high heels, and was in the same good shape as she had been a few years ago. This skirt is pink, which is different from the skirt of Li Ningyong's shirt, and it looks a little more casual, revealing the collarbone.

Walked behind him is Liu Hu, Liu Hu compared with previous years, the change is great, there is a gold necklace around his neck, his hair has a slightly light yellow, after seeing Wang Qiao, he opened his arms enthusiastically, and said: "I must hug it, I haven't seen it for a few years, the barbarian is still so handsome." ”

In the era of studying, Yan Lin was more daring than Liu Hu. Now that I have left school, the change of the environment is too obvious. After she hugged Wang Qiao, she smiled and said to Yan Lin: "I didn't expect the two of you to go around and get together again." ”

Yan Lin has kept a delicate distance from Wang Qiao since she saw Li Ningyong, who was also wearing red, and she was afraid that Liu Hu's words would cause Wang Qiao's misunderstanding, so she said: "I came here on a temporary basis and have been here for a year." ”

Wang Qiao beckoned everyone to sit down, and asked again, "What kind of wine do Tian Feng and the fitter drink, beer or liquor?" ”

Duan Fitter said, "What kind of wine do you drink?" Whatever you drink, we drink. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I have quit drinking, so I can only drink with you." ”

Duan Fitter said: "When did you quit drinking?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "The last few times I have been drinking, I am so drunk that I can't wake up, and I am strict and broken. I'm not fit to drink, so I'm just quitting. Don't persuade me, if you have friends from afar, the most important thing is to be happy, not necessarily to drink. ”

The fitter said: "If you don't drink, you don't have energy, and it's not easy to play a diǎn." Barbarian, if you become an official, you will no longer mingle with us people. ”

Yan Lin said helpfully: "Old Duan, don't persuade me, forget if Wang Zhen doesn't drink." ”

Liu Hu said exaggeratedly: "Yan Lin, you are not called a barbarian, you are actually called Wang Zhen, this name sounds so piercing." In my heart, there is no Mayor Wang, only the barbarians who repeated the class back then. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Liu Hu is right, I am still a barbarian. ”

Tian Feng also asked, "You really don't drink?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "I really don't drink. ”

His father, Wang Yongde, insisted that his philosophy remained unchanged for decades, during which it caused a lot of doubts and questions, even from his children. Now that Wang Qiao has made a decision not to drink, he is met with friendly or questioning resistance from friends, colleagues, etc., and he suddenly feels that his father is amazing, able to stick to his own way of life, and not be moved by outsiders.

Officially began to eat, except for Wang Qiao, everyone drank.

Tian Feng raised the sprinkler glass to touch the wine, and Wang Qiao raised the boiling water cup. After Tian Feng drank a glass of wine, he said: "Barbarian, we recently want to expand our business in Changdong, in addition to maintenance, we are also selling mining machinery, do you have a way, help me introduce it." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I remember that you used to have some business dealings with enterprises here in Changdong. ”

Duan fitter said: "We used to focus on maintenance, and there are several fixed businesses in Changdong, and now we want to expand and engage in equipment procurement." ”

Wang Qiao immediately took out the phone and called Wang Yusheng of the enterprise office, "Director Wang, have you eaten?" Then you go to the fat intestine hot pot fish in the back street of the normal school, and I have a few friends eating. ”

After making the call, Wang Qiao said: "Wait for Wang Yusheng, director of the Enterprise Office of Chengguan Town, to come over, he is familiar with the enterprises in the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town." After you meet, you can talk to him to see which companies are suitable for you. ”

Duan Fitter knew what this meant, and poured a cup of sprinkle excitedly, and was about to lift it, but found that Wang Qiao did not drink, and said: "Brother Man, if you don't drink, the fun of life will be half less." I'll finish drinking this wine, and you can do it. ”

Duan Fitter poured a glass of wine into his stomach very boldly, and then turned the wine glass upside down, and said: "Our standard for testing drinking wine is to stand upside down wine glasses, and it is not upright to drop wine in strings." ”

Wang Qiao drank a glass of water, stood upside down, and actually dripped.

Duan Fitter smiled: "Your baby is not upright, the dripping water is in strings." ”

After a few jokes, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Wang Yusheng, director of the enterprise office, went up to the second floor with a rough air, and the waiter followed closely and immediately added a set of dishes and chopsticks. Wang Yusheng greeted Wang Qiao, and when he saw that Yan Lin was also there, he hurriedly greeted "Secretary Yan" again.

Tian Feng didn't wait for Wang Qiao's introduction, and took the initiative to send Wang Yusheng a business card and introduce his business. At the big boss sitting at the dinner table, Wang Yusheng naturally understood what was going on, took the business card, and discussed his business problems with Tian Feng.

For this meal, I drank two bottles of high liquor.

Duan Fitter yelled to sing.

Wang Yusheng knew that the people at this table were all classmates, so he stopped going to join in the fun, greeted Wang Qiao, and went home with a wine burp.

Liu Hu's face was red, and he said, "Is there a good song hall in Changdong?" ”

Yan Lin said: "I'm not familiar with Changdong, so I have to ask Wang Qiao." ”

Wang Qiao thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well. ”

Liu Hu said: "You don't usually sing? ”

Wang Qiao said: "I basically don't sing, I once sang once at the county party committee guest house." I really don't know where to sing. ”

Liu Hu's expression was a little exaggerated, and he said: "In my mind, you grassroots officials are eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and doing all kinds of bad things. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Our life is not as ** as you imagined, nor is it as miserable as you imagined, I think it's okay." ”

Tian Feng said: "I have come to sing before, not far in front, what is the Lantian Song Hall, we can walk over and don't need to call a taxi." ”

The five young men and women walked towards the Lantian Song Hall. Duan Fitter was drunk, and his speech was not shallow, and he said: "It's a pity, Wu Chongbin didn't come today, if he can come, the six of us in the repeat class will be able to make up." ”

Hearing Wu Chongbin's three words, Liu Hu's expression paused.

Yan Lin knew Liu Hu's heart disease best, and quietly pulled Duan Fitter aside, and said: "Duan Fitter, you can't open the pot and mention that pot, and now you can't mention Wu Chongbin in front of Liu Hu." ”

Duan Fitter has been dealing with machinery for several years, and his heart has become more rough, and he said: "What's wrong with this, after all, everyone grew up together." You and Wang Qiao haven't been in love yet, and now they're still playing together, what's the big deal. ”

This is indeed the pot that doesn't open and the pot, Yan Lin didn't know what to say for a while.
