Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fighting
The women present didn't care much about Li Xiaoning's legendary anecdotes, they were more concerned about the lace news, and now when they heard Li Xiaoning personally admit that he was Cheng Xiaoxi's boyfriend, they immediately began to coax, Cheng Xiaoxi blushed, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiaoning, his eyes were full of sweetness.
Li Xiaoning smiled calmly, nodded to everyone, and then followed Cheng Xiaoxi over and sat down on the two vacant seats next to each other.
The men present all stood up with a smile and shook hands with Li Xiaoning, on the one hand, they had admired Li Xiaoning's name for a long time, hoping to have a good relationship with him in advance; On the other hand, they do admire the things Li Xiaoning has done.
The chief of the horse on the main seat frowned, and his face suddenly became not very good-looking. Today, the director of the Information Office did not come, but he represented the Information Office, so he naturally sat in the main seat. In fact, Director Ma already has a family, but he is extremely lustful, and Mu Guifang is his long-term lover; After Cheng Xiaoxi entered the news office, he has been trying his best to get such a porcelain doll-like little beauty into his arms. But all the means were used, but Cheng Xiaoxi just didn't take the bait.
Seeing that now, the porcelain doll I want to soak has a boyfriend, I am naturally uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, and the horse's face has begun to become greener and greener, and even, the good mood of the dinner party has dissipated a lot.
Although today's gathering was very famous, it was actually just an unofficial gathering, and the main leaders of the news office, newspapers, television stations, and radio stations did not come, so they gave in modestly, and as the deputy editor-in-chief of Binhai Daily, Wang Guangjun sat as a deputy accompaniment.
According to the rules of the wine table in Binhai City, it is generally the main escort with three glasses of wine, and the deputy escort with three glasses of wine. But I don't know why, Director Ma brought six glasses of beer today, and Wang Guangjun was not easy to support, so naturally he also brought six glasses. Although it is beer, after drinking these twelve glasses, some people who are not strong enough to drink are already drunk fifty or sixty percent.
Now it's time for the free combination, and the atmosphere at the wine table is starting to get warm. Everyone, you toast me, I toast you, of course, at the beginning, they were all the director of the horse.
Li Xiaoning sat there, listening intently and smiling most of the time, and occasionally smiling and saying a few words to the people nearby. And when Cheng Xiaoxi was talking freely with a group of women, he would also take care of Li Xiaoning's love from time to time, and turn around and whisper a few words to him, for fear of snubbing him.
Director Ma's eyes kept passing over to this side, the flickering jealousy in his eyes was too obvious, and many of the people present knew that Director Ma was moving the stream's mind, but it didn't succeed. Now seeing the "envy, jealousy and hatred" on his face, he is also secretly laughing in his heart, and some people have the idea of watching the excitement.
After a few glasses of wine, Wang Guangjun picked up the wine glass and smiled at Li Xiaoning: "Xiaoning, our brothers are quite fateful, they are in the same class, and now they are drinking at the same table." Come on, let's go! ”
Director Ma had actually been waiting for Li Xiaoning to take the initiative to toast him, so he took the opportunity to put on a show, but he didn't expect Li Xiaoning to sit still all the time, and he was a little angry in his heart. Now that Wang Guangjun took the initiative to drink with Li Xiaoning, Director Ma's heart was even more uncomfortable.
Li Xiaoning also smiled and raised his glass and said, "Brother Wang is polite." Today is to borrow your wine, and another day you will go to our town to inspect and guide the work, so that I can do my landlord's friendship? I did it first! After speaking, he raised his head and lit up the bottom of the cup.
Wang Guangjun also drank a glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "I really want to go to your place to have a look." The highway that has not been built in Pingshan Town for decades has been solved as soon as you take office. Recently, the city wants to erect a few examples of diligent government for the people, and I will definitely go to your place to see it. I'll say it first, I'm in Pingshan Town, if you don't invite a guest, I'll definitely curse someone! ”
"No problem!" Li Xiaoning laughed.
Cheng Xiaoxi also smiled and said, "Editor-in-chief Wang, I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Last time, you promised me to write an interview with Pingshan Town, why did you change your mind later? ”
Wang Guangjun said with a wry smile: "I said Xiaoxi, how many times have I explained to you, I promised you, but we are a daily newspaper, and all the topics have to be reviewed by your press office?" If the above disagrees, what can I do? ”
As he spoke, Wang Guangjun said to Li Xiaoning again: "Xiaoning, did you say?" Don't look at me as the deputy editor-in-chief, in fact, I don't have any real power at all. I want to learn from you and go to the grassroots level to get a township mayor to do it. ”
"Okay. There is still a lack of a deputy mayor in charge of family planning in our town, will you come? Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"Damn, you kid is ruthless!" Wang Guangjun said with a smile, "I'm also a deputy director, and you let me go down to be the deputy mayor for you?" ”
The crowd knew they were joking, and they all burst into laughter.
At this time, Director Ma beckoned the waiter to open liquor, and asked all the men present to change to white one very domineeringly. Then he also picked up his wine glass and stared at Li Xiaoning, and said loudly, "Xiao Li, I have admired my name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Come, it's also a fate to be able to get acquainted, let's do this glass of wine! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Xiaoning to speak, he drank it all first.
Director Ma is at a higher level than Li Xiaoning, and he is Cheng Xiaoxi's boss. Although he was not so polite to call Li Xiaoning, Li Xiaoning still raised his glass out of politeness.
The waiter came to pour the wine, and Director Ma raised his glass again and said, "The first glass of wine is the knowledge wine, and the second glass of wine is the friendship wine." The so-called relying on parents at home and friends when going out, if Xiao Li is willing to make me a friend, then drink this second cup! After that, he drank it all again.
Li Xiaoning frowned slightly, feeling a hint of gunpowder, he didn't know where he offended Director Ma, out of politeness, this glass of wine also dried up.
Cheng Xiaoxi's small mouth pursed, Li Xiaoning dried two glasses of white wine in a row, and she couldn't help but be a little worried before she ate a mouthful of food. Li Xiaoning smiled and signaled her to rest assured that she was fine.
Cheng Xiaoxi was relieved. Women's hearts are sensitive, and Cheng Xiaoxi certainly saw Director Ma's "jealousy", but she was not easy to expose. You can't make trouble and make everyone unhappy.
Of course, Li Xiaoning can also see that Director Ma is a little aimed at him, but he doesn't take it to heart, he came today to give Cheng Xiaoxi a long face, not to slap someone else's face. Besides, except for a few or two people here today, after the past, no one knows anyone, so why bother to pay too much attention to it.
However, what people didn't expect was that Director Ma actually raised his glass for the third time, still at Li Xiaoning.
He had a strong smile on his face, just giving people the feeling that he was hiding a knife in his smile. He smiled and said: "Just now it was a good thing to come in pairs, and now this third glass of wine is a welcome wine, welcome you Mayor Xiao Li to come to our propaganda party, come, enjoy face, do it!" ”
At this time, everyone present stopped talking and put down the wine glasses in their hands, looking at Li Xiaoning and Director Ma, everyone smelled the smell of gunpowder, this is a good show to watch!
As usual, this glass of wine, Director Ma still did it first. After he finished drinking, he stared at Li Xiaoning tightly, and there was a slight flicker of fire in his eyes.
I changed the wine just now but didn't change the glass, three or two three wine glasses, these three glasses are close to a pound of liquor, and ordinary people really can't stand drinking like this. Everyone gasped. Wang Guangjun pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Okay, refreshing!" Real men! Xiaoning, do you want to do it? ”
Li Xiaoning is the amount of a wine fairy, and he is really not afraid of people at the wine table, drinking three glasses of liquor is not a trivial matter to him at all, he smiled slightly, and reached out to serve the wine glass.
Cheng Xiaoxi didn't agree, raised his hand and pressed Li Xiaoning's wine glass, and then said to Director Ma: "Director Ma, you are obviously pouring our family Xiaoning." Xiaoning, I can't drink it! ”
Li Xiaoning actually didn't want to fight with Director Ma for this kind of useless and boring wine at all. But on the wine field, although the other party has bad intentions, he is still not rude after all, and he is not good at attacking. After thinking about it, Li Xiaoning still gently brushed away Cheng Xiaoxi's hand, raised his wine glass, and said with a faint smile at Director Ma: "Director Ma is so polite, thank you." I drank this wine! After saying that, he tilted his head and did it again.
Director Ma said, "Okay, like a man." Waiter, fill it again! ”
When the waiter poured the two full of wine, Director Ma grabbed the wine glass again, but the wine glass shook obviously. He believed that he drank a lot of alcohol and was experienced in a hundred battles, and wanted to bring down Li Xiaoning and make him ugly. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoning looked quite quiet and quiet, but he was deeply hidden, and he drank a lot of wine. The little jealousy in his heart had long since turned into a kind of competitiveness under the catalysis of alcohol.
Director Ma steadied himself and said, "There are thousands of glasses of wine, come, let's have another drink." Drink as much as you can, and run if you can't drink it. Dry! After that, he drank it all again. Then he said provocatively to Li Xiaoning: "Xiao Li, how is it?" If you don't, run away! ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said in his heart: I take care of your face, I don't want you to be too ugly, now that you can't do it yourself, if you have to look ugly, don't blame me. Thinking of this, he grabbed his glass and was about to drink. Cheng Xiaoxi pulled his shirt worriedly, and whispered in his ear, "Xiaoning, don't compete with this kind of drunkard, he rolls around in the wine field all day long, you can't drink him." ”
Director Ma laughed and said with drunken eyes, "What, Xiaoxi is distressed?" Xiao Li, we are all big men, this wine field pays attention to a pleasure, drink if you want to drink, and get out if you don't drink! Otherwise, let Xiaoxi drink this cup for you! ”
Li Xiaoning's temper also came up, he signaled to Cheng Xiaoxi that he was fine, and then smiled indifferently, raised his wine glass, raised his neck and poured it in.
After four glasses of liquor, Li Xiaoning's face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if nothing happened, everyone present was amazed. At this time, Director Ma was already eighty or ninety percent drunk, and his tongue was a little soft. He felt that he had a lot of alcohol, but he didn't expect Li Xiaoning to be better than him, and he drank more than a pound of liquor, and he still looked like no one was fine.
Director Ma thinks that if this continues, the situation is a bit bad, and he has to change his thinking!
