Chapter 12 Secretary of the County Magistrate
Ren Dong is a fritter. It's about people who are very shrewd and good at thinking about things, plus they have experienced a lot of things, so they don't suffer in anything, and they have been able to reach the point of being exquisite. Ren Dong is a fritter in people's impressions, and his subordinates call him Ren You'er behind their backs, of course, no one dares to call him that in person. Ren Dong accompanied Jing Zhiguo to see Wang Chun's broken car frame, but over there he ordered his subordinates to go to the best hotel in Dongdian, the Mountain Hotel, and arranged a private room. At this time, Jing Zhiguo didn't have any intention of eating, but it was not a matter of not eating, and if he had an idea in his heart, he had to let this Ren Dong work hard. When Ren Dong saw that the matter was almost over, he said that it was better to eat first, and there was something wrong with the section chief, let's do it, Jing Zhiguo was not polite at all, and said, Okay, then eat first!
The food culture of the Chinese, that is said to be big! Because good food stimulates people's nerves through the taste buds that grow on the tongue, making people feel physically and psychologically happy. Therefore, people are disgusted when they see bad food, and they are happy when they see good food. When some people see good food, they will make a snoring sound through their nose and throat when they enjoy it. Although this is not very elegant, it is normal, and it is only caused by the excitement of the nerves when you see good food. Because of these circumstances, there are many things that can be achieved through eating, specifically by enjoying good food together. For example, to promote friendship, another example, to please the other party, and another example, to ask the other party to do something for themselves, this meal, eating a good meal will play a role in it.
Ren Dong entertained Jing Zhiguo's meal, needless to say, it must be a good chew. According to Jing Zhiguo's meaning, Jing Zhiguo and Ren Dong are two people. Ren Dong originally asked his subordinates to order a table of dishes, wanting his individual stock chiefs to be lively with Jing Zhiguo, and it also seemed that he, the director, could be called the same thing. This is called a set of sayings, all of which are in the local dialect of the Northeast, which describes the handlebar-style handlebars of the big carts, and the trailer and several animals can be controlled so that they can work together. It's actually a figurative metaphor. Jing Zhiguo did not agree. He said, "Let's just let the two brothers keep an eye on the outside of the private room where they eat, and no one is allowed to come near." Those two boys in police uniforms poked outside the door of the private room, who else wanted to cause that trouble!
Because there was still something to do in the next morning, if things went well, Jing Zhiguo still thought that it would be best to rush back to Fengtian in the evening, so he didn't drink. But even though they didn't drink, Ren Dong and Jing Zhiguo were both more pleasant.
Banquet opening. Ren Dong looked at Jing Zhiguo's face, picked up the cup that had poured tea in front of him, and said:
"Section chief, you see, you don't come to us all the time, you are constantly busy with your hands and feet, which is really an example for us who are subordinates! If you don't drink, we won't drink either! Let's use this tea as wine and toast you! β
"Director Ren, don't say that, isn't this just in time for today! When there is nothing to do at hand, let's have a good drink! Our provincial department attaches great importance to this matter of the county magistrate Wang, but then again, it won't work if you don't pay attention to it! The Japanese are as devastating! To be honest with your brother, let's not worry about it, if the Japanese blame it, who can afford it! This county magistrate Wang is a popular Japanese man! β
Ren Dong heard Jing Zhiguo say this, glanced at Jing Zhiguo, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes. The matter of County Magistrate Wang is indeed - you say - alas! Let's take this sip of wine first - this is wine! Water as wine! Come on, do it! β
Both of them picked up their teacups, touched them for a while, and took a sip. Jing Zhiguo was indeed a little hungry, and stretched out his chopsticks to clip this dish and that dish. After being busy, he suddenly came to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Alas! You see, we're all on our own! You eat it! Come, let's toast you! As he spoke, he picked up the cup and sent it to Ren Dong, wanting to clink glasses with Ren Dong, but he stretched it halfway through, but stopped.
"Director Ren, you say, why would County Magistrate Wang drive the car to the bottom of the cliff by himself?"
Ren Dong glanced at Jing Zhiguo, pursed his lips, shook his head, and made a "tsk" in his mouth.
"This matter is really a bit strange. The county magistrate Wang is too, what are you rushing back in the middle of the night! Can't you just wait until dawn before you leave? The soldier was in a hurryβah! It's so much better now! Ren Dong said halfway through, and found that he had left his mouth, so he stopped it. Looking at Jing Zhiguo again, Jing Zhiguo didn't squeak, just lowered his head and ate vigorously.
"County Magistrate Wang went back to his hometown in Guandongzhou, why didn't he let his secretary follow?" After a while, without looking at Ren Dong, Jing Zhiguo said a little as if talking to himself.
"Who doesn't say that! You said that you are a county magistrate, with someone by your side, isn't it a little convenient to do anything! I really don't know what this county magistrate Wang thinks! β
"And his secretary--"
"Money, Secretary Money."
"Ahh Secretary Money. Did our county bureau ask? β
"I've asked, otherwise how would we know that County Magistrate Wang is back to his hometown! Let's report this situation to the provincial department. β
"Then you see, did County Magistrate Wang accidentally fall under the Tiger Head Cliff by himself?"
Ren Dong glanced at Jing Zhiguo, withdrew his eyes, and shook his head slightly.
"Now it's just that he fell on his own, orβwhat?"
"Director Ren, do you think that will work, after a while, you send someone to find the secretary of County Magistrate Wang, the secretary of Qian, to the bureau, let's meet."
"Alas! Secretary Qian has returned to his hometown! I don't know if I'll be back at this time. β
"Huh? Back to your hometown? Where is his hometown? Jing Zhiguo was taken aback.
"His hometown is Heshan County. He was brought from Heshan County by County Magistrate Wang. β
When Jing Zhiguo heard this, he felt that this matter was really as he had a hunch, and it would really be very complicated.
"Then, something happened to County Magistrate Wang, why did our county bureau let him go?"
"It wasn't our county bureau that let him go. He left in the evening of the day when County Magistrate Wang returned to his hometown before County Magistrate Wang's accident! β
"Huh? Why are we confused? Didn't you just say that County Magistrate Wang listened to him when he returned to his hometown? When did you hear him say that? β
"Alas! Section chief, you don't seem to know something. Speaking of this, Ren Dong stopped, shook his head again, and looked embarrassed.
Jing Zhiguo looked at Ren Dong in front of him and knew that Ren Dong had encountered something difficult. But if he is embarrassed, who is not embarrassed? If these circumstances are not understood, can Wang Chun's case still be cleared?
"Director Ren, what's the matter?" Jing Zhiguo's face became serious.
"Whew! That's it! Section chief, let's tell you! But this matter, even if your subordinates beg you, you just need to know it yourself, and you must not say it! If you say it, you old brother, no, you subordinate, it's hard to say whether our head can stay on our neck! β
