Dinner was eaten at the "farmhouse", which was a few more dishes than the working meal at noon, which seemed a lot more hearty.

Zuo Tiannian still politely asked Chu Tianshu if he wanted to order wine, of course, the answer he got was definitely NO, but he still had to ask, this is a kind of respect for the leader, or the courtesy that should be there.

In fact, this should have been Zuo Tiannian's initiative to arrange for the leaders to choose, instead of consulting the leaders before, just like the sales promotion of service industry standards, it should be asking guests if they want black tea or green tea, rather than asking guests if they want tea.

After all, Zuo Tiannian and Chu Tianshu have just come into contact, and their relationship has not yet been close enough to be informal.

Zuo Tiannian, who has been the director of the county office for many years, will not not understand this rule, this is his intention, he bet on this treasure, and on the first day of inspection, he saw the personality of the new secretary, so he also placed high expectations on Chu Tianshu.

At the end of the day, Zuo Tiannian felt that this young new secretary was resolute, sympathetic to the people's feelings, jealous and hateful, and ingenious, seemingly approachable, but he kept a distance from everyone intentionally or unintentionally, and it was not easy to achieve the intimacy he expected as he wished.

"Whole wine" was originally a better way to shorten the distance, but Chu Tianshu adhered to the established principle and took the lead in stopping the whole wine style.

In this regard, Zuo Tiannian agrees very much.

It can be said that the main person in charge of every township and town has a deep hatred for the trend of "rectifying wine", so everyone does not dare to applaud Chu Tianshu on the surface to stop this unhealthy trend with practical actions, but they are definitely very supportive in their hearts.

However, this also gave Zuo Tiannian one less chance to "get acquainted" with the new secretary as soon as possible.

If you want to "get acquainted" with someone, the better way is to do some small bad things together. This is just like children stealing watermelons in the field or smashing someone's glass together, and their relationship will become iron buddies. Moreover, the degree of bad things seems to be directly proportional to the degree to which they are "cooked" at the least.

Of course, at present, Zuo Tiannian does not dare to have excessive expectations, everything has a process, Rome cannot be built in a day, and he is not the kind of naïve and eager novice.

The wine is not complete, Zuo Tiannian deliberately introduced the topic to the card table, saying that in the evening in the countryside, there is no entertainment, usually the township cadres are together, only to play a small mahjong to mix time, by the way also exchange work and feelings.

Chu Tianshu thought about it, and pretended to ask casually, how many wins and losses were won or lost in a game.

Zuo Tiannian hesitated for a moment and replied, if you have a particularly good luck, you can win a thousand yuan. The fight in our township is relatively small, and it is generally a few hundred yuan to win or lose.

Shi Zhiqiang saw the stitches and said: "Hehe, playing so small, Secretary Chu may not be interested in having fun with the people." ”

Chu Tianshu looked at Zuo Tiannian and Shi Zhiqiang's eager eyes, and even Wang Yongchao on the opposite side tilted his head slightly, listening intently, this was an obvious expectant action. His heart moved, and he remembered that there was a sentence that "being an official is similar to having sex with a woman, not only the people above are happy, but also the people below are happy."

A leader who blindly puts on a show in front of his subordinates and keeps his head off can certainly maintain a certain mystery and majesty, but this kind of image will be intimidating and annoying in the long run, especially since Chang Shengli once reminded that dealing with township and town cadres and "mingling" with them is an effective way to gain their trust and support.

Chu Tianshu made a decision and coughed lightly: "It's okay to have a little excitement and entertainment, but it's not okay to gamble big." To be honest, I didn't have much cash on hand. ”

Shi Zhiqiang smiled and opened his mouth wide, "Secretary Chu, why don't you worry about losing" The sentence was stiffly gagged, and he changed it: "We just give full play to the Olympic spirit, focus on participation, and accompany the secretary to kill time." ”

"A small bet is pleasant. Winning and losing thousands like that is already a bit out of line. I advise you to exercise some restraint in the future. Gambling, for sure, is a bad thing. Chu Tianshu said solemnly.

He must take a stand, otherwise he will sit down at the table, and a few guys will definitely increase the weight in disguise, let him win a big win, and maybe before he returns to the county, his glorious image as a new secretary may not be remembered by the vast number of cadres and the masses, and the reputation of gambling has been widely spread through the grapevine.

"Secretary Chu's words are reasonable." Wang Yongchao really had a bright idea, he saw that Chu Tianshu had the intention of "going into the water", and felt that he had the obligation to provide some theoretical basis for the secretary. He said: "There is a saying that 'all evil yin is the first', and I think it should be changed to 'gambling first'. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yongchao paused.

The county secretary, the township secretary and the chief and deputy township chiefs are all there, and on such an occasion, a young follower is not qualified to talk too much.

Zuo Tiannian and Shi Zhiqiang heard that Wang Yongchao was helping them persuade Chu Tianshu to go into the water, so they smiled and encouraged him to continue.

Wang Yongchao only smiled and peeked to see Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu nodded with chopsticks: "Xiao Wang, what crooked arguments do you have, let's listen to it and have fun for everyone." ”

Wang Yongchao then said: "How guilty can Yin be? A man's thoughts yin, that is his normal body function or even the manifestation of good health, full of warm thoughts yin* desire, a man can consider the normal physiological needs of the body, from the perspective of human nature, it is right. And he will consider his actual financial situation, even if he wants to have a second wife, he will live within his means and tailor his clothes, so we rarely see people squandering their entire net worth on women. However, gambling is different, many people will lose everything in a very short period of time, and we have seen too many people who have lost their wealth because of gambling. Therefore, gambling is a bad thing, the first of all evils. ”

"Secretary Chu is right in criticizing, we are a little confused. In the future, we must resolutely resist the vice of gambling, otherwise we may make big mistakes. Although Zuo Tiannian's expression was not heartbroken, it was extremely sincere.

Then, he thought that he had to show a higher theoretical literacy than Wang Yongchao, and at the same time found another way to praise Chu Tianshu from different angles, he said: "Gambling is indeed harmful to others, even if we do not analyze its harm from the moral and ethical aspects, it can be seen from the analysis of economics alone." For example, gambling is an activity that does not create new value in itself, but simply transfers money from one person to another without benefit, costing time and resources. Moreover, according to the principle of diminishing marginal utility, the loss of the loser's utility is relatively large, and the increase of the winner's utility is relatively small, so gambling will only lead to a decrease in the overall welfare of the society. ”

However, he said an old-fashioned common truth, but was so touted by the two, Chu Tianshu secretly felt funny, and felt that even if it was purely for modesty, it seemed that he should defend gambling a few words, he put down his chopsticks and said: "What everyone said is very reasonable, but in a broader sense, people are gambling." Men, in particular, are more likely to gamble. It's just that some people bet on money, some people bet on anger, some people bet on the country, some people bet on beauty, some people bet on temporary happiness, some people gamble on the fortune of a lifetime, some people bet on glory and wealth, and some people bet on power and fame. ”

There was a sudden silence on the table for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, Zuo Tiannian, Shi Zhiqiang, Huang Jian, Wang Yongchao and others applauded together.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the meal will be eaten quickly.

At the end of dinner, Zuo Tiannian accompanied Chu Tianshu to drink tea in the room.

After a while, Wang Yongchao came in and said, "Secretary Chu, Secretary Zuo, Township Chief Shi asked me to invite you over." ”

followed Wang Yongchao, set up a battlefield in a large room, and played a small mahjong game according to the rules of Nanling County, because Chu Tian set the tone, and the battle became a pure business card and health card, accompanied by Zuo Tiannian, Shi Zhiqiang and Huang Jian, Wang Yongchao watched the battle and poured tea and water.

Chu Tianshu's attitude was serious, and the other three escorts had to cheer up, each speculating about how to play cards in order to get the favor of the new secretary.

Chu Tianshu's side seems to be very smooth, and from time to time, Xiaohu and Dahu just don't let off guns.

Seeing Chu Tianshu happy, Zuo Tiannian and Shi Zhiqiang let go of their courage and began to fight wits and courage while adding bickering, they have worked together in Daliushu Township for several years, and the relationship has been a little tense.

Chu Tianshu smiled and asked, "You guys won't be deliberately making me happy, right?" It's the first time I've played Nanling mahjong. ”

Zuo Tiannian said: "There is a rule on the mahjong table, and novices are lucky. ”

Shi Zhiqiang immediately said: "The main thing is that the old left level is too smelly, and the secretary's upper house can't get stuck, and we have no chance to play." ”

Zuo Tiannian said: "Old Shi, you don't talk about your own level, why are you always thinking about my position?" I give you this position, and I may not do a good job. ”

This is a bit of an insinuation.

Huang Jian and Xi Ni said: "Although Secretary Chu is playing Nanling mahjong for the first time, his control of the card game is still very powerful. ”

Chu Tianshu said: "I remember someone said that the style of the card depends on the style, and the brand looks at the character. Could it be that this is the style and conduct of the cadres of Daliushu Township? ”

Zuo Tiannian's expression was calm and calm, as if he had not heard it.

Shi Zhiqiang was not convinced, and said: "Lao Zuo, I will change seats with you, and this time I must show the demeanor of the Daliushu Township team in front of the secretary." ”

Chu Tianshu smiled: "This is like doing work, how can you do it well without a little bit of initiative?" However, your secretary and the township chief are always competing internally, and it is difficult to win when playing cards, and the work is not well coordinated. ”

Zuo Tiannian and several other escorts and listeners even claimed to be.

Only Shi Zhiqiang didn't hear the extraneous voice, and he was noisily shouting and forcing him to change seats with Zuo Tiannian.

Zuo Tiannian reluctantly got up and changed seats with Shi Zhiqiang.

The next time you play your cards, you will behave in a decent manner.

After a few calls, Chu Tianshu's mobile phone rang.
