Chapter 8 Festive Reception

Wang Xueli, the director of Ma Xiaohai, is no stranger, he just took over the report of the finance and taxation department at the beginning of the year, although he has not interviewed Director Ma face-to-face, but he has met with her several times in some meetings and activities. Director Ma is very kind, and every time I see him, I will nod and smile. Moreover, as one of the few female directors in the city, how can anyone who is a reporter not know Ma Xiaohai's truth, not to mention that this Director Ma is still a scandal heroine.

Wang Xueli heard Zhong Shan say that when he ran finance, taxation and finance, Ma Xiaohai was just a clerk in the office of the Taxation Bureau, and Liu Jigang was the deputy director of the Taxation Bureau in charge of the office. It was Deputy Director Liu who single-handedly dragged her up, from the deputy director of the office, to the deputy director of the sub-bureau, to the sub-director, and then to the deputy director and director of the municipal bureau. It is said that Ma Xiaohai's child divorced before he was three years old, also for Liu Jigang. Everyone knows about this, and it's no longer strange. Five years ago, Liu Jigang suffered from liver cancer and was treated in Beijing. There is a lot of talk in the market, this Ma Xiaohai is really a woman who is affectionate and righteous and dares to act.

Ma Xiaohai is in a high position, but he looks like a little woman, only about 1.6 meters tall, thin, not a beauty, but his speech and demeanor reveal a seductive temperament that is irresistible to both men and women. To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, Ma Xiaohai's appearance is in line with Wang Xueli's aesthetic standards. But his sister's utilitarian talk hurt his self-esteem, and of course he couldn't accept it. Moreover, he can't guarantee that Ma Xiaohai can take a fancy to him as a little reporter, rather than being rejected and humiliated by others, it is better to express his opposition first.

Back in the office, the card game has broken up because of the inadequacy, Wang Xueli returned to his seat, closed the landlord game, opened Baidu, and searched for Ma Xiaohai's information. Ma Xiaohai, the director of the bureau on the website of the tax bureau, shines with a heroic spirit. I looked at the date of birth, which was the same age as myself and three months younger than myself. Wang Xueli closed the page, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, imagining what kind of scene it would be to live with Ma Xiaohai, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't make up a complete picture, so he simply continued to play his landlord game.

In the blink of an eye, it was the annual Journalists' Day, and on this morning, Wang Xueli received a call from Director Han of the Taxation Bureau's office, asking Reporter Wang not to arrange other things tonight, and the Taxation Bureau held a banquet to celebrate the festival for the reporters of various news units who ran the tax gates. Wang Xueli has been a reporter for more than 30 years, and there have been more than a dozen reporters' festivals, and each time he has been working as always, receiving at most a few phone calls, text messages or WeChat messages to congratulate the holiday, and for the first time, a unit has specially gathered everyone to celebrate the festival. His mind unconsciously turned to Director Ma, couldn't it be that she specially organized this dinner party for him Wang Xueli? This thought was only in his mind, and he immediately dispelled it, and he secretly laughed in his heart that he was being amorous.

Because of the unhealthy trend of eating and drinking at the top, the holiday celebration dinner was arranged in the canteen on the ninth floor of the tax bureau, which Director Han jokingly called "the ninth floor of the tax department". Wang Xueli didn't go early, and when he arrived, people from various news media had already arrived. Wang Xueli was the oldest among his peers, and he came late, so he was naturally arranged in the position next to Deputy Director Zhao, who was in charge of the office at the main invitation of the dinner. Director Han of the office and Xiao Shi, who is responsible for news and publicity in the office, accompany him.

Before the banquet, Xiao Shi distributed a paper bag to each reporter, which contained a women's leather bag of a certain domestic brand.

Although it is in the canteen of the unit, the delicacies and wines of the mountains and seas are no less than those of the big restaurants outside.

Deputy Director Zhao delivered a warm toast, congratulating all journalists on a happy holiday, thanking everyone for their outstanding contributions to the news and publicity of the Taxation Bureau over the years, and saying that everyone is an honorary staff member of the Taxation Bureau, and you can ask Director Han for help if you have any difficulties. Deputy Director Zhao also said that Director Ma would accompany the leaders of the provincial bureau to dinner in the next room, and he would come over to toast everyone later. When Wang Xueli heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the situation is a little chaotic, for a while it is a certain one to fight a circle, for a while it is a certain two to catch and fight, and for a while it is a certain group of people to compete with each other. The scene was chaotic, and Ma Xiaohai pushed the door in with a wine glass. Tonight, Director Ma changed his usual professional attire, wearing a corset blue floral shirt, and after drinking some wine, his face was ruddy, and he looked a little charming. Wang Xueli felt that she had deliberately glanced at herself when she entered the door.

Deputy Director Zhao hurriedly got up to sit down, and Ma Xiaohai pressed his shoulder with his left hand that was not holding the cup to signal him to sit down, and said, "I'm just here to toast everyone with a glass of wine, and I have to continue to accompany the guests over there for a while." As he spoke, Director Han filled everyone's cups and said, "All journalists and friends have worked hard for a year!" Today is Journalists' Day, on behalf of the Qingshan Taxation Bureau, I wish you all a happy holiday and a happy family! Today's holiday gift is my personal choice, the women's bag, the female reporters can use it, the male reporters can give it to their other half, and the military medal also has half of theirs! When he said this, he seemed to glance sideways at Wang Xueli beside him. Everyone raised their glasses to thank Mr. Ma for his hospitality and ingenious holiday gifts.

After drying the beer in the glass, Director Ma clenched his fists and left, and Wang Xueli's heart suddenly became empty.
