3. Taste the sweetness of the dark
I finished playing the game console and took the bus to the hotel that Mr. Deng said, I arrived relatively early, but when I arrived, there were already several people in the house, I thought I had a drink with Mr. Deng, and when I arrived, a group of people were playing cards in the box, one of them I knew, it was Director Zheng of the Education Bureau, and I didn't know the remaining five or six, and Mr. Deng didn't arrive.
I arrived at Director Zheng and looked at me: "Yuan Kun has arrived, you come, I don't play cards, and now there is an obvious gap." β
Actually, if you want to talk about playing cards, I can really do it, but I definitely can't answer it, but I have to answer: "Zheng Ju, you play, I'll give technical guidance." β
Director Zheng said: "Then you have to watch it, and I will be a card shelf for you." β
I pulled a stool and sat on Director Zheng's side, saying a few innocuous words from time to time.
Just as I was having fun, I heard a voice: "Roar, it's so early." β
Everyone turned to the door and saw Mr. Deng come in. When I looked, there was another person next to Mr. Deng, who was a little familiar, but I quickly remembered that it was Mr. Zhang, who I had met in a cafΓ© last time. Seeing two people coming in, except for Director Zheng, the others stood up, and I also greeted Mr. Deng, who ignored the others and asked me, "Yuan Kun, do you still know Mr. Zhang?" β
I quickly replied: "Of course I know, I saw Mr. Zhang once in the cafΓ© last time." β
Mr. Zhang smiled and stretched out his fat hand: "My brother has a good memory." β
I hurriedly exaggerated and politely said: "Where is Mr. Zhang's momentum, whoever sees it will never forget it." β
Teacher Deng immediately raised his face and laughed: "Mr. Zhang, you have found out, you are educated, it is terrible." β
The audience laughed, I let go of Mr. Zhang's hand, and Mr. Zhang said politely: "Brother, we will deepen a few glasses in a while." β
My face tilted to the side: "What Mr. Zhang said, I will have to toast Mr. Zhang a few glasses later." β
A table of people sit down, Mr. Zhang is in charge, Director Zheng is on the left, Mr. Deng is on the right, I want to sit at the door, I think I am the youngest, the three main seats are unwilling, I can't sit next to Director Deng.
The opening was said by Mr. Deng, simple: "There is nothing to do today, brothers get together and have a drink." β
After three glasses of wine, Mr. Deng began to introduce, I don't remember too clearly, but they are basically people from Mr. Zhang's company, only next to Mr. Deng is a brother from our public security, the high-speed traffic police team, named Zhang Jun.
When Mr. Deng introduced me, he said, "This is the Wang Brigade of our Public Security Bureau, the SWAT Commando, and the sharpshooters of our province." β
I quickly stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm a student of Teacher Deng, and now I work in the SWAT team. β
Teacher Deng then turned to Zhang Jun: "Are the military brothers familiar with Yuan Kun?" β
Zhang Jun shook his head: "I haven't seen it much." β
I also hurriedly said: "Our unit has no business contact with other units, and I haven't seen Brother Jun much." β
Teacher Deng then introduced: "My student Wang Yuankun," and turned to Zhang Jun: "How old is the youngest deputy department in your unit, this is the youngest." Zhang Jun nodded.
Teacher Deng continued: "The youngest deputy section-level cadre of the Public Security Bureau," the conversation changed and said to me: "You kid has to be more restrained." β
Then he continued: "I will have a few more drinks with my student today," and smiled: "I was depressed, I thought I had a fight, and I was sued." β
Everyone sighed, and I bowed my head in shame.
Officially started drinking, I couldn't name several of them, they were all older than me anyway, and I was a little depressed in my heart, and I greeted someone with eye to eye: "Come, brother, I respect you." "I'll just stand up and somebody.
Suddenly I met Mr. Zhang's eyes, and I was just about to stand up, Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Brother, come, let's do two brothers." β
Before I could speak, Mr. Deng answered: "Yuan Kun, you give Mr. Zhang two." β
I quickly stood up and walked towards Mr. Zhang, who also stood up: "Lao Deng, you're wrong, it's all your own brothers, you can't do it." β
I went to Mr. Zhang, put my cup down, picked up Mr. Zhang's cup, Mr. Zhang hurriedly took the cup in my hand with one hand, and pushed my shoulder with the other: "Brother, don't keep calling Mr. Zhang, call me brother, call Mr. Zhang, we won't kiss." β
I looked at Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng's eyes squeezed: "Just call me brother, in the future, I will be my brother." β
I hurriedly held the cup tightly with both hands: "I respect you two, brother, I will accompany two." β
Teacher Deng answered: "There are two, four. β
I quickly chimed in: "I respect the four of you, brother." β
After drinking two, Mr. Zhang directly drove Teacher Deng away: "Old Deng, you go over there and sit, I'll let my brother accompany me to cheer up." β
Mr. Deng came to my seat with a cup and chopsticks and a smile, and I was pulled by Mr. Zhang to sit on Mr. Deng's bench.
Mr. Zhang put his arm on my shoulders and basically put his head on top of me: "Brother, don't ask, your deputy brother will arrange it for you, what a big deal, your city bureau leaders and I have a good relationship, and we often drink together, I will tell them that day." β
I hurriedly said, "Brother, it doesn't matter, I'm just competing to play, and I don't care if I get in or not." β
Mr. Zhang picked up the cup: "Brother, our brothers can't be subservient." Then he turned to Mr. Deng: "Old Deng, I will arrange my brother's affairs, and I must handle my brother's deputy department, so that we can also have a friend in the public security." β
Teacher Deng smiled stupidly: "Yuan Kun, hurry up." β
I quickly stood up and served two drinks to Mr. Zhang, but this time Mr. Zhang was not polite, and I did not accompany him.
I served Mr. Zhang six wines, drank four of them myself, filled the wine cup for Mr. Zhang, and stood up to go back to my seat. Mr. Zhang pressed my shoulder and looked at Mr. Deng: "Old Deng, it's the first time I've been drinking with my brother today, I have to give my brother a meeting gift." β
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the teacher must have recommended it to Mr. Zhang, but I still had to pretend to be naΓ―ve: "Brother, you're welcome, I'm very happy to know my brother." β
Teacher Deng smiled: "Yuan Kun, such a big money, you can lie to him, don't be polite to him." β
I was a little embarrassed, and many people looked at me and Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang directly took down his watch: "Brother, I don't have any preparation, this watch has been with my brother for a few years, it's a bit old, don't dislike it." β
I hurriedly pushed my hands outward: "Brother, don't you dare, it's too precious." β
Mr. Zhang looked at Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng said, "Mr. Zhang, you really don't care, just give a gadget for such a valuable thing." β
Mr. Zhang slowly took it back, probably thinking, took his watch, and took down a small bracelet in his right hand: "Then, give you a gadget, brother, you can't stop accepting it this time." β
I looked at Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng nodded: "Yes, brother's mind." β
I took the bracelet, and each bead was about the size of a glass ball that I played with when I was a child, and there were more than a dozen of them, which should be said to be earthy yellow, translucent, with some slightly black lines, like hair, and I was not too embarrassed to look at them and put them on my hand. I toasted Mr. Zhang again before returning to my seat.
In the evening, I drank a little too much, and Mr. Zhang asked his driver to take me with him and Mr. Deng, and he said a lot of atmospheric words on the way, and I didn't remember much in a daze. Back at work, I went to bed with a soak of pee, and woke up in the middle of the night to take off my clothes.
The next day, during dinner, Brigade Li ran to the opposite side of me: "What did you do yesterday, I didn't come back." β
I hurriedly said, "I'm back, I'll be here after drinking, it's past nine o'clock." β
Team Li smiled: "I haven't slept at ten o'clock, and I haven't seen you come back." β
I picked up the bowl and drank porridge to hide my embarrassed face, and Team Li should have seen the bracelet in my hand: "What are you carrying, it's really fake." β
I was very puzzled, and suddenly remembered my bracelet, touched it with my right hand, and asked Team Li: "What did you say about this thing, it was given to you by a friend yesterday." With that, he took it down and handed it to Brigade Li.
Brigade Li picked it up, took a picture at the door, rubbed it with his hands, took it to his nose and smelled it, and asked me: "Who gave it to you, it should be true." β
I said without hesitation: "You bring it to Brigade Li, I won't play with these things." β
Team Li rolled my eyes over me: "You go to the Golden Eagle to take a look, there are those for sale, I can't afford to bring them." β
I wondered, after work in the evening, I took the car to the Golden Eagle to go around, and saw something similar to this, the name is "agarwood", the price is 29,000, and I was so scared that I went back to the unit and quickly put it away.
