Chapter Forty-Seven: Let's Drink Together
After getting off work, Kong Xiangrong called Li Xiaoning, "Are you free at night?" Two whole cups! ”
Li Xiaoning now has no identity as a temporary secretary and no girlfriend, Tang Wei also returned to Yanjing, and has a lot of free time at night, so he replied with a smile: "It's rare that you, a busy person, want to have a treat, how can I let go of this opportunity to kill you?" But first of all, two cups are not good, how can you have two bottles per person! ”
Kong Xiangrong also laughed and said: "I've heard of your wine fairy's name, I can't drink two bottles of liquor, and beer is no problem!" ”
Li Xiaoning smiled: "Let's talk about it then." Let's go first, it should be the rush hour after work, and it's not good to take a taxi. ”
"What kind of car are you hitting? Brother, the car I just bought is just showing off with you. Kong Xiangrong shook the car key in his hand and said.
"Wow, that's the car to buy! There's no comparison. Li Xiaoning smacked his lips and said, "What car?" Let's also have a good time. ”
"It's a means of transportation, Passat." Kong Xiangrong's mouth was modest, but his face did not hide the smugness.
Li Xiaoning originally thought that just him and Kong Xiangrong would just find a food stall to drink some beer, but he didn't expect the car to come directly to the "State Banquet Wharf". After getting out of the car, Kong Xiangrong said a little ostentatiously: "This is one of the most famous places to eat seafood in Binhai, the business is very good, and ordinary people can't book it at all, but I am a VIP customer here, and they usually reserve a private room for me." ”
"You've only been here for a few days? Mixed into a VIP customer so quickly, it seems that there is no less corruption! Li Xiaoning laughed and teased, he didn't feel ashamed of himself, because he really didn't have much interest in these material comforts.
Walking into the hall, I found that the business here was really hot, and even the hall was full of people, wearing high-forked cheongsam, and the beautiful waiter immediately greeted him, "Sir, have you made a reservation?" ”
Kong Xiangrong said with a big grin: "It's just the two of us, I haven't made an appointment, but I'm your VIP customer here, find me a small private room." ”
With a professional smile on his face, the waiter leaned forward slightly and said, "I'm sorry, sir." Today's business is so good, there is no private room, just the two of you, can you sit in the hall? ”
Kong Xiangrong's face immediately fell, "What are you doing?" How to drop if you look down on me? Call your foreman. ”
"Sorry, please wait!" The waiter smiled apologetically and retreated, probably to call the foreman.
After a while, a tall woman in a black skirt ran over quickly, with a standard professional smile on her face, "Hello, Mr. Kong." Bring your friends over for dinner again. ”
Kong Xiangrong's face softened slightly, and he said, "Manager Song, the waiter just now is new, I don't even recognize it, and he actually told me that there is no private room." ”
Manager Song's face was a little uncomfortable, and he smiled apologetically: "Mr. Kong, I'm really embarrassed. There is really no private room today, otherwise I will be bold and give you a nine-percent discount, how about you in the hall? ”
Kong Xiangrong originally wanted to show off in front of Li Xiaoning today, but he didn't expect to be frustrated repeatedly, how could he hang on his face, and said angrily: "Manager Song, what do you mean by this?" Do I lack that money? Cut out the nonsense, hurry up and make room for me to come out! ”
Manager Song had a very embarrassed expression on his face, and apologized again and again: "Mr. Kong, I'm sorry, don't be angry. Today is really a special situation, there are a lot of important guests, there is indeed no private room, please understand! ”
"You mean I'm not an important guest anymore?" Kong Xiangrong raised his eyebrows, raised his voice and said, "Then I want to ask you, what exactly is a VIP customer." ”
Li Xiaoning saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly played a round and said, "Forget it, forget it." It's just the two of us, where to sit and not to sit? The hall is very good, otherwise let's just change places! ”
At this time, a young man with a ponytail came out of the toilet, and when he saw Li Xiaoning, he hurriedly ran over, "Brother Li, why do you have time to come to my store to eat?" It's so splendid! ”
Li Xiaoning looked at this person a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while, and wondered: "Are you?" ”
The ponytail was a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are really a noble person who forgets things, I am Da Fei......"
"Big Flying ......" Li Xiaoning still didn't remember that he had only been in Binhai for a few months, and he really hadn't made any friends.
"Brother, you forgot. Last time, at the gate of Oceanwide Community, I had a little misunderstanding with you. Ponytail said with embarrassment on his face.
"Oh, you're Da Fei...... Aren't you a bar-opener? Why is this restaurant also owned by you? Li Xiaoning then remembered. It turned out that this person was the Da Fei who took a group of sons to stand for Xue Bin at the gate of the Oceanwide Community last time, and was beaten up by him.
"I'm just a fool, I can do whatever I want to make money, this store has just been down for two months." Ponytail said with a smile, although his words were modest, but the Jiao Aojin in his words was undisguised. After speaking, he turned his head and said to the foreman: "Xiao Song, immediately arrange a box for my brother, and all consumption is free!" ”
The foreman was a little embarrassed and said: "Fei Shao, all the boxes are full, only the largest state banquet bag is reserved for Secretary Tang......"
Da Fei was furious and said, "Why are you so blind! This is my brother, my father is not coming today, which room is left for him? ”
"Yes, yes......" The foreman hurriedly retreated in fear.
Kong Xiangrong originally wanted to show off in front of Li Xiaoning, but he didn't expect to be shocked by Li Xiaoning. Secretary Tang? In addition to Tang Xuewen, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary, where is there another Secretary Tang in Binhai City? What is the origin of this Li Xiaoning? He is the nephew of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and no one buys it, how can he let the son of the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee be so respectful to him?
Originally, Kong Xiangrong still had the idea of competing with Li Xiaoning in his heart, but at this time, he was a little in awe of his mysterious background, and suddenly felt a little shorter than him.
Li Xiaoning is not the kind of rigid and dogmatic person, seeing that Tang Fei is so "regardless of previous suspicions" and warmly invited, he did not refuse, and followed Tang Fei into the luxury private room generously.
Wine is definitely a good thing. It is definitely a natural lover of people, and it can dissolve into people's blood unscrupulously, paralyze people's brains, and then shorten the direct distance of drinkers. Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong both looked down on each other a little, but after a few rounds of drinking, they began to put their arms around each other's shoulders and call each other brothers.
Kong Xiangrong said with a big tongue: "Brother, let me tell you, this person lives in the world, and it depends on fate. We can work together, this is fate; It's also fate to be able to drink together today. In the future, our brothers must help each other and make progress together! ”
"That's a must!" Li Xiaoning said with a smile, his alcohol consumption is not a little better than Kong Xiangrong, and a few bottles of beer are like drinking water to him.
Kong Xiangrong was different, he drank too much and talked a lot, put his arm around Li Xiaoning's shoulder, and said drunkenly: "Xiaoning, what do you think of our life in the secretary now?" ”
"It's okay!" Li Xiaoning dealt with it casually.
"You're less JB." Kong Xiangrong burst into a foul mouth, "Don't think that if I drink too much, you will fool me." I'm telling you, I'm awake. We're just living in the dead right now. ”
Li Xiaoning said in his heart, you are messing around, it doesn't mean that I'm messing around. But he still had to echo and said, "Yes." We've been here for half a year, and we haven't done anything meaningful yet. Speaking of which, it's really messing around. ”
"What's pointless? Do you think this is Soldier Assault?" Kong Xiangrong glanced at Li Xiaoning, "When I say messy life, I mean that there is no 'brightness' in the future, and there is no hope." ”
"It's too early to say that, right?" Li Xiaoning waved his hand and said, "Our group of people was specially recruited by Secretary Liu, and they must be cultivated." It's just that the time is still short, and there is no action for the time being. ”
"Bullshit." Kong Xiangrong sneered, "Xiaoning." It's my brother who told you this, don't think that you have been a temporary secretary to Secretary Liu for a few days, and you think that you have a chance. The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the fate of the two of them definitely depends on Duan Yonghong and Mao Qiushi. ”
"That's right." Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "So let's get along with the two leaders." ”
"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be confused with me?" Kong Xiangrong said with straight eyes, "What kind of goods is Mao Qiushi, can you not see it?" He didn't put a trap on the two of us behind his back, so that the stumbling block should be Amitabha, and he still expected him to take care of us? ”
Li Xiaoning didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass. He understood what Kong Xiangrong said. Often, when a new person comes to a unit or a department, he will encounter a certain amount of rejection, because everyone does not understand the newcomer, and this rejection is originally subconscious. But as time went by, Li Xiaoning found that Mao Qiushi subjectively and actively rejected him and Kong Xiangrong.
Mao Qiushi and Li Xiaoning are simply strangers, their life experiences, behavioral habits, and methods of dealing with the world are very different, and they can't pee in a pot at all. At first, Li Xiaoning thought that he had just graduated, and he had been in school for more than ten years, staying for more than ten years, with little social experience, poor practical ability, lack of understanding of complex interpersonal relationships, and insufficient ability and cultivation to deal with interpersonal relationships. But as time went by, he gradually realized that Mao Qiushi's character and personality were definitely not the people he should give sincerely.
"Isn't there still Secretary General Duan?" Li Xiaoning put down his wine glass, retracted his thoughts and said.
