Chapter Seventy-Four: Take the Initiative to Show Favor
"Old Yu, you are not righteous!" In a private room in a restaurant full of the smell of alcohol and smoke, a lieutenant colonel officer wearing a military uniform but with an open arms was holding Yu Haiguang's shoulder with one hand and a full glass of liquor in the other, making a gesture to pour it into Haiguang. Instead of stopping the lieutenant colonel's behavior, the other people present kept coaxing and forced Yu Haiguang to drink the glass of liquor. "Old Yu, this glass of wine, you have to drink it today, and there can't be a drop left!"
Yu Haiguang has already drunk a lot, and his originally black and red face is already faintly blue and white at this moment, and people who drink alcohol all year round know that this person can no longer continue to drink when they see him like this. Yu Haiguang, who felt an itch in his throat and was about to spit it out on the spot, naturally refused desperately, but the lieutenant colonel officer didn't want to let him go. "No... It's really... No more... If I drink it any more, I'm going to throw up! ”
Yu Haiguang, who felt that he was not in a good state, was almost unable to speak, if he hadn't bitten the tip of his tongue ruthlessly, he might not even be able to complete this sentence. Yu Haiguang is now like this, obviously he has drunk too much, but the other people in the private room seem to be unwilling to let Haiguang go too far. "Old Yu, I can tell you, we entered the military at the same time. With a group of our old people, there are not many left, you can't be the stationmaster of Chongqing Station, and you won't recognize us old brothers, right? ”
A fat man sitting opposite Yu Haiguang grabbed the wine glass in front of him with a smile, not only moved neatly, drank the wine in the cup as soon as he tilted his neck, but also deliberately lit up the bottom of the glass at Yu Haiguang. Yu Haiguang, who was continuously persuaded to drink, was extremely helpless, so he had to endure the discomfort and pour the wine in the wine glass into his mouth. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Yu Haiguang poured the wine into his mouth, and he didn't hold back and vomited immediately.
The forced Haiguang poured wine until he vomited on the spot, and everyone in the private room quieted down, and everyone focused on the lieutenant colonel officer. "Lao He, the fathead fish has also been poured down, you are here to tell us, what is your idea? There are so many of us together, we can't just come to eat him, right? At this moment, it was the fat man who had been drinking just now, but the cup in front of him had been replaced with hot tea.
The lieutenant colonel officer, who was still drunk and misty before, had already sat up straight, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face. "A few of you, don't always be called a fat-headed fish in the future, you are also the stationmaster of Chongqing Station now, if you really turn your face, he may not be the one who suffers." The lieutenant colonel officer, who was called Lao He by everyone, looked around, then lit a cigarette and began to get down to business.
"The war ahead is unfavorable, and a large number of government departments will go south to Chongqing one after another, as early as two months ago, I have arranged for people to come to Chongqing to prepare in advance. At that time, the housing prices were not very high, but if you look at the present, the housing prices in Chongqing City are changing three times a day, just with our little family background, even if we buy a house in Chongqing City, I am afraid there will not be a few dollars left. Everyone has a family, so you can't just stop eating or drinking for the sake of the house, right? ”
The officer surnamed Lieutenant Colonel He and everyone in the private room were the first batch of personnel from the Military Command Headquarters to go south, and they were in Wuhan before, although they were not as good as in Nanjing, but they were also well fed. But after coming to Chongqing, these people who wanted to be at ease suddenly found that it was almost impossible for their little family to live a free life in Chongqing. The outrageously high housing prices have frustrated many of their plans to buy a house and settle their families.
Even if they rent a house, they are regarded as outsiders by Chongqing people, and they will not be able to find a suitable house for a while. The officer surnamed He and Yu Haiguang joined the same group of military commanders, although the relationship is not very good, but the only person they can turn to now is Yu Haiguang, after all, Yu Haiguang is the stationmaster of Chongqing Station. But just before the banquet began, the officer surnamed He happened to hear the conversation between Yu Haiguang and his subordinates, and then realized that Yu Haiguang didn't want to help at all, so there was a scene of pouring wine in the private room.
The officer surnamed He turned his head to look at Yu Haiguang, who was drunk on the table, and then said loudly, "The old man is taking care of himself, I don't think he will help with our affairs." But after all, he is the stationmaster of Chongqing Station, and when we get along in the future, it is best for everyone to keep it, so as not to be put on small shoes and I don't know yet. The words of the officer surnamed He made everyone present nod secretly, and almost all of the people who could appear in this wine bureau were acquaintances who knew the roots.
"I received a telegram from Lao Tian in the afternoon, Lao Tian will come to Chongqing next, according to him, Zhang Jiang is better than Yu Haiguang now. Although we don't have a good relationship with Zhang Jianghe, we can all be regarded as old men of the military command. Personally, I think that at this time, don't always worry about face, and the most important thing is to take care of your family. Lao Tian said that Zhang Jiang and this person eat soft rather than hard, and they are still righteous. ”
As soon as the officer's voice fell, someone immediately said, "Old He, aren't you thinking about going to Zhang Jianghe?" Don't forget, when Zhang Jianghe was transferred out of the Nanjing headquarters, we people pushed behind the scenes. At that time, no one at the headquarters thought that Chongqing was a good place, and when Zhang Jianghe came to Chongqing, he heard that he only brought three or four cronies with him, and it was almost Chongqing where the commander of the light pole came. ”
The person who spoke also drank a little too much, and when he spoke, he didn't notice it at all, but the other people at the wine table had already changed their faces. The military command seems to be monolithic, but in fact, like other departments of the national government, there are constant factional fights within it, even the officers surnamed He and their scattered people who don't like to fight, they are also huddled together to form small hills. When Zhang Jianghe was at the Nanjing headquarters before, he was also a scattered person, but he was born in Huangpu, and he was disliked by the officers surnamed He.
When Zhang Jianghe automatically applied for transfer to Chongqing, the scattered people led by the officer surnamed He secretly did a lot of tricks, and now that I think about it, what I did at the beginning was indeed a bit inauthentic. If they had to take turns in feng shui at the beginning, and now they need to turn to Zhang Jianghe for help, they probably shouldn't have done those small actions in the first place. After hearing this, the officer surnamed He put down the teacup in his hand and sighed secretly, and the expression on his face became richer.
"I can't help it! When Zhang Jianghe was in the Nanjing headquarters before, he was not inconspicuous, who would have thought that people would be much stronger than us! You have also been in the city for the past two days, so you should know what the situation is in the city! I talked to Lao Yu in the past two days, and he said that after Zhang Jianghe was transferred to Chongqing, he did not arrest Japanese puppet spies in the city. The headquarters ordered Zhang Jianghe to set up a special investigation team, presumably because he took a fancy to Zhang Jianghe's ability to arrest Japanese puppet spies, and the character of the bureau, everyone should know that Zhang Jianghe is a proper descendant of the bureau! ”
The officer surnamed He would say this, but he was actually implying a meaning, if he didn't hug Zhang Jianghe's thigh at this time, he might not have such a good opportunity in the future. "Well said! I can't imagine that I haven't seen each other for a few days, and Lao He's level of watching people has risen! As soon as the officer's words fell, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Bai Zhanshan, who had a smile on his face, came in from outside the private room. How could it be Bai Zhanshan? After everyone in the wine bureau saw clearly that it was Bai Zhanshan who came in, they all had doubts in their hearts.
Bai Zhanshan has been in the military headquarters for a long time, and he naturally knows the officers surnamed He, but the relationship is not as close as that between him and Zhang Jianghe. Bai Zhanshan's appearance was actually not sudden, when the group of officers surnamed He invited Yu Haiguang to participate in the drinking party, they were secretly watched by people arranged by Bai Zhanshan. Bai Zhanshan, who entered the private room, didn't care about the way the officers surnamed He were staring at him, but first checked Yu Haiguang, who had fallen asleep, and then pulled over a chair and sat down next to the officer surnamed He.
"Lao He, I said that you guys are not authentic! Originally, when I was in Wuhan, I didn't shout at you to drink, but now that I'm in Chongqing, you come out to drink and eat meat, and you don't even think to say a word to me! Whatever! I'm worried that I'll make you poor! Bai Zhanshan said provocative words, but he always had a smile on his face, and he looked like he was talking deliberately, so did these officers surnamed He care too much.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Bai Zhanshan gradually sat up straight, and the smile on his face was a lot less. "Forget it, since you don't welcome Bai, then I'll make a long story short! Before you came to Chongqing, Lao Tian sent a telegram to Zhang Jianghe, asking Zhang Jianghe to take care of you. Zhang Jianghe is a righteous person, guessing that you must have dragged your family south to Chongqing, and what you need most is a house. When Bai Zhanshan mentioned the house in his words, the officers surnamed He finally looked up at Bai Zhanshan in unison.
"We don't have a lot of houses, and most of the houses that were seized by the previous cases were requisitioned by the superior units. Zhang Jianghe and I asked some local friends to help us change two sets of yards in the city. The area of those two sets of yards is not small, and they only need simple repairs and transformations, which are enough to live for your family. This is the key and the address, although the two yards cannot be transferred, but you can live there forever without paying rent. ”
There is a house to live in without spending money, and before the officer surnamed He has spoken, the other people at the wine table have already picked up the wine glasses in front of them and expressed their gratitude to Bai Zhanshan. "Lao Bai, thank you for making peace with Zhang Jiang, otherwise, the family would have to continue to live in the hotel. Come on, come on, I'll dry this cup, you can just do it at will! The atmosphere on the wine table instantly became lively, and even the officer surnamed He pulled Bai Zhanshan to drink several glasses in a row.
