Chapter 168: Socializing

"Director Zhang, thank you for your strong support to us, this glass of wine, I did it, you are free" Lao Liu poured his cup full of wine, and the object of Lao Liu's toast was sitting opposite, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a kind of majesty on his face. Next to the middle-aged man sat Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo on the left, and on the right sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, whose face was six or seven points like that of the middle-aged Director Zhang. Zhao Qiang's sitting figure was a little unstable, looking at the sixth child, and secretly stretched out a thumbs up.

The middle-aged Director Zhang was also flushed at the moment, and shook his hand, "Sixth, sit down, sit down, I will punish you for drinking if you stand." The old six sat down heavily, and the seat creaked. Director Zhang was very satisfied, "Sixth, that's right, don't say that you toast to me at will, there is no such rule, everyone is full, come together", the sixth sneered and sneered, "Director Zhang, listen to you, you have the final say".

As soon as Director Zhang's words came out, Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo smiled bitterly, and some of the others began to change their faces. After the banquet began, let the sixth accompany Director Zhang to drink a few more glasses, who knew that after Director Zhang drank a few times, he woke up, Director Zhang no longer stepped on this pit, as long as the sixth person on Zhao Qiang's side shouted to drink, Director Zhang called everyone to come together, and then, he gave his subordinates a look, and let people take turns to pay tribute to Zhao Qiang, Xiao Weiguo, and Lao Liu. Director Zhang has a lot of subordinates, this time, Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo can't stand it, and now, the whole table of people, including the people on Director Zhang's side, is the only one who drinks normally.

Only the young man sitting next to Director Zhang heard this, stood up with a smile, took out a bottle of wine from the cardboard box next to him, unscrewed it, picked up the wine bottle and poured wine around the table for everyone, and did not add anything that was already full. Whatever is not full will be full. When he returned to his seat, he did not pour himself a drink, and the people at the table were as if they did not see it. This young man is the son of Director Zhang, named Zhang Xiaojun, and he can't drink.

With a bang, the wine glasses of a table of people collided together, and someone exerted too much force, and a lot of wine overflowed. The sixth man moved the fastest, and without hesitation, he was the first to take the lead. With his mouth wide open, he didn't sip the wine into his mouth and drink it slowly, but poured it directly into his throat, went down with a grunt, and then turned the wine glass down with his face in front of him. It's a bright glass, and not a drop of wine is falling from the glass. He opened his mouth and took a big sip of wine.

Director Zhang gave a thumbs up with his left hand. He took a sip of wine in his right hand and went down. Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo followed closely behind with a glass of wine and made the same action as Director Zhang. The rest of the people were old and young, fast and slow, and a young man in his twenties barely finished drinking, and immediately picked up his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables. Suddenly, his face changed. The chopsticks were thrown on the table, and in a panic, he covered his mouth with his hand, and made a uh sound in his mouth, and immediately got up. The chair under the seat was brought to the ground, and he didn't care to help him up, so he turned around and ran out of the door, and took the door with him, and just after he went out of the door, he heard a vomiting sound outside.

The young man next to Director Zhang ran to the door, opened the door, and when he opened the door, he was just a few steps away from the door, and the man was holding on to the wall, and there was a puddle of things on the ground. The young man felt a sour breath between his noses, and hurriedly pinched his nose and closed the door.

When I returned to the wine table, I found that the people at the table didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and they were all talking loudly. Zhao Qiang took Director Zhang's hand and said thank you, Xiao Weiguo put his arm around the shoulders of the person next to him and said something with a smile. Someone took the wine bottle again, and poured the wine into the wine glass of the person next to him tremblingly, dangling the wine glass, and one accidentally, when pouring the wine, the wine poured out of the glass, wetting a large piece of the table.

Seeing these things, the young man leaned into Director Zhang's ear, "Dad, it's almost over, don't drink it?" Zhao Qiang sat on the side, and when he heard this, he stopped doing it, "Xiaojun, this drinking is not enough, how can you leave?" ”。 Zhang Xiaojun laughed out loud, "Brother Qiang, you don't want to drink a table of people, right?" Talking to Zhao Qiang in his mouth, his eyes saw the sixth child's hand, the sixth man poured himself full of wine, and found a man in his thirties at the wine table, who wanted to drink two to one with others, that is, two glasses for himself and one for others. This is a department leader managed by Director Zhang, Director Zhang saw that the sixth child did not find himself to drink, and said "Xiao Zhong, drink, what are you afraid of, one cup to two glasses, do not suffer" I have long forgotten what I just said that there is no such rule. Seeing the leader speak, Xiao Zhongya bit his teeth and drank, and the sixth child followed closely and drank two glasses in a row, and his face remained unchanged.

The young man who vomited outside the door opened the door and came back, his face was a little pale, and when he entered the door, he scooped soup into his bowl and poured it into his stomach in one go.

When the banquet was about to disperse, Zhao Qiang said a word in Xiao Weiguo's ear, and Xiao Weiguo walked out. Everyone staggered to their feet and prepared to leave, Xiao Weiguo came in with two people, holding a lot of things. Director Zhang's eyes glared, "Xiao Zhao, what are you doing here?" ”

"Director Zhang, thank you for your support to us, we have prepared a little gift for everyone," Zhao Qiang smiled. "You" Director Zhang was about to say no, his eyes swept and sighed lightly, the eyes of his subordinates were already firmly fixed on those things, not thinking about themselves, thinking about the people below, Director Zhang stopped talking.

When Zhao Qiang asked someone to find Director Zhang two days ago, Director Zhang had no emotion to talk about, as the director of a large supply and marketing cooperatives at the prefectural and municipal levels, he was in charge of several county supply and marketing cooperatives, and he had relatively large power in his hands. For a treat, Director Zhang will not come, and Director Zhang will not accept gifts. The director of a county supply and marketing cooperatives under Director Zhang gave Zhao Qiang an idea to take the curve. Director Zhang is a son, and he loves this son more. Zhao Qiang found Zhang Xiaojun, who was an ordinary employee of the regional supply and marketing cooperative, and had just started work. I didn't expect this search, Zhao Qiang is a mixed society, he is so strong and ruthless, he is righteous, and now he is doing business again, he has a lot of knowledge, after a meal, Zhao Qiang's words convinced Zhang Xiaojun. People like Zhang Xiaojun have a blind belief in the big brother in society. Zhang Xiaojun came forward to find his father by himself. Director Zhang instructed his subordinates to give Zhao Qiang some goods according to the regular procedures. A little bit of goods in Director Zhang's eyes is a lot for Zhao Qiang and others.

Zhao Qiang sent the goods to the deep area, and he brought someone to invite Director Zhang to dinner through Zhang Xiaojun, and at the wine table, he became familiar with Director Zhang.

In the 80s, when I asked someone to do something, I also treated him as a gift, but it was relatively simple. Gift-giving is not as out-of-the-ordinary as in later generations. Ask an acquaintance for help, and when you come to the door, you just need to carry a little gift. If there is really something very important that someone needs to do, it will cost a lot of money, carrying a 'grenade' or 'explosive bag' to the door, as soon as this thing comes out, what you want to do is generally no problem, as long as the person you ask can do it, he will help you do it. The 'grenade' refers to bottled liquor, and the 'explosive pack' refers to cigarettes. Door-to-door delivery of cigarettes and alcohol, buy a little better, seven or eight yuan a bottle of wine, seven or eight yuan a cigarette, two bottles of wine, two cigarettes.

Zhao Qiang also sent a bag to each guest according to this standard, two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, which were not bad, and the staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives who got the things all smiled and thanked each other and left first. The last is the gift to Director Zhang, the gift to Director Zhang is obviously different, Director Zhang glanced at it, then raised his head and nodded to Zhao Qiang, and went out with his son Zhang Xiaojun.

Zhao Qiang, Xiao Weiguo, and Lao Liu cleaned up, and when they were about to go out, Zhang Xiaojun rushed in again, smiling, "Brother Qiang, my dad said, you have time to go to his office tomorrow, and I still have some business to talk to you", after speaking, he went out to catch up with his father.

Zhao Qiang and the three of them were stunned for a moment, then understood and smiled at each other. Xiao Weiguo shook his head and sighed with wine, "This time I was drunk, and I didn't lose anything" (to be continued......)
