Chinese Painting 11
Fang Mingyuan is so easy to handle, Zhu Huaijing also feels very face-saving, and just said, "Do you have any arrangements for the evening?" County Magistrate Zhang asked me to ask you to talk about it together in the evening. ”
Fang Mingyuan seemed to have a difficult face, and said, "Then you're welcome." ”
Zhu Huaijing saw that Fang Mingyuan didn't push much, so he joked: "It's not easy for comrades from the grassroots level, so you just put down your shelves and contact the masses." ”
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
Zhu Huaijing shook hands with Fang Mingyuan and said goodbye, saying that he would invite him when he got off work.
Back in the office, Zhu Huaijing immediately hung up Zhang Tianqi's phone. The person who answered the phone asked who it was, and it didn't sound like Zhang Tianqi. He said to find County Magistrate Zhang. My surname is Zhu. The man hurriedly said, oh, it's Director Zhu. I'm Secretary Zhang's secretary Xiao Tang, please wait a while, Secretary Zhang is in the bathroom. Only then did Zhu Huaijing know that Zhang Tianqi had already become a secretary. I thought that my news was so closed, which was a sign of bad mixing. I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart.
After a while, Zhang Tianqi answered the phone, and Zhu Huaijing said that the problem was not big, and the specific time had to be connected, and he might have to go the day after tomorrow. Zhang Tianqi thanked Zhu Huaijing, and said with a smile: "Then I can only stay and wait for the holy decree." ”
After chatting for a while, Zhu Huaijing said: "Secretary Zhang, I'm afraid we won't talk together for a while, I'll have a treat today, let's have a few drinks together." I also asked Mayor Pi's secretary, Director Fang......"
Zhang Tianqi immediately interrupted him and said, "Where is it, how can you ask your brother to invite it?" I've already made a plan, so I'll let you talk about it first. No, no, no, I'll please. It's best for you to bring Director Fang here. Your brother is thoughtful and thoughtful. ”
The two were polite on the phone for a while, but they still decided to be treated by Zhang Tianqi. Zhang Tianqi said politely: "I'm a hillbilly who entered the city, I don't know the depth of Jingdu, Director Zhu should order a place." Zhu Huaijing was also polite and said, "How about putting it in Longxing Hotel?" ”
It was really like being evil, Zhu Huaijing barely had time to think about it, and said that it would be in Longxing Hotel. But when I put down the phone, I regretted it a little. There are tens of thousands of hotels in Jingdu, why did he immediately think of Longxing Hotel as if he was reflexive? It seems that he can't let go of Yuqin in his heart. But he didn't want to hang up Yuqin's phone anymore, for fear that it would be boring. Lei Fuchen said that he would bring him if he had guests, so he hung up the phone and said that he would bring a few guests to dinner. Lei Fuchen was very bold, and he was busy saying yes, okay.
Zhu Huaijing has some more things to deal with, and it's almost time to get off work. Zhang Tianqi called and said that the car was outside the office building. He hung up Fang Mingyuan's phone.
When Fang Mingyuan came down, Zhu Huaijing said while walking with him: "Comrade Zhang Tianqi is already our secretary of the county party committee, and I called him the county magistrate to be smooth, but I always forgot it." ”
As soon as the two of them left the office building, Zhang Tianqi got out of the car and stretched out his hand to shake them one by one. It was inconvenient to greet each other for too long, and several people understood it and got on the bus one by one. When I got on the bus, I inevitably gave up my position again. Zhang Tianqi sat in the front seat and joked: "The rules in the city are different from those in the county. In the county, the leader sits in the front, and in the city, the secretary sits in the front. We at the grassroots level are always making mistakes on this issue. Today, I will be a secretary for two city leaders. Everyone laughed.
Zhang Tianqi turned back to Fang Mingyuan and said, "I am the eldest name of Jiu Yangfang, I didn't expect you to be so young!" ”
Fang Mingyuan waved his hand modestly and modestly, with a kind face. Talking and laughing, it will soon arrive in Longxing. Zhu Huaijing's eyes lit up, and he saw Yuqin standing outside the foyer from a distance, which was exactly the outfit he wore to the Blue Moon Nightclub that night, wearing a light sauce-colored tweed jacket with a beige dress exposed at the hem. He thought that Yuqin should be wearing her kind of professional woman's suit, tie or a floral silk scarf, how could it be this outfit?
The car stopped in front of Yuqin, but she didn't pay attention to the car, and was looking into the distance. Zhu Huaijing guessed that she must be waiting for some guest. He got out of the car and shouted generously: "Yuqin! ”
Yuqin hurriedly turned her head and smiled slightly, her face flushed. She stretched out her hand and put it in Zhu Huaijing's hand and said, "Oh, I haven't seen this car yet." Lao Lei still has guests, let me wait for a few. ”
Zhu Huaijing wanted to shake her hand and let go, but he felt that he couldn't let go, so he took her to introduce Zhang Tianqi and Fang Mingyuan one by one. She pulled out her hand and shook hands with the two guests, saying welcome, welcome. A few people came out of the hall and shouted, "Hello County Magistrate Zhu." ”
Zhu Huaijing looked back and saw that it was several leaders of the county planning commission, the finance bureau, and the water and electricity bureau, and they were old subordinates, and they still called him county magistrate Zhu. It turns out that they have been waiting here for a long time. There was also a young man who looked at him and smiled politely, he thought that this might be Zhang Tianqi's secretary Xiao Tang, so he stretched out his hand. The young man clasped his hands over, leaned over and shook for a while, and said, "Director Zhu is good, Director Zhu is good." ”
When the politeness is over, Yuqin invites everyone upstairs. Everyone politely gave in again. Entering the elevator, Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but look at Yuqin for a while. Yuqin smiled again and said, "It's still arranged in Lanting." As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Huaijing and smiled. The smiling people present didn't feel anything, but Zhu Huaijing felt that his internal organs suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Yuqin specifically emphasized Lan Ting, which he felt was meaningful. He couldn't understand what this meant for a while, but he vaguely felt that Lan Ting seemed to have some special meaning. Zhu Huaijing seemed to have grasped the feeling of being in the blue moon that night again. He was walking side by side with Zhang Tianqi in front just now, but when the elevator stopped, he let other people stay behind. Yuqin seemed to understand what he meant, and also asked the guests to go out first, and called a service lady to ask her to lead the guests to the Lanting.
The two walked behind, and Zhu Huaijing asked, "How are you doing these days?" ”
Yuqin smiled, glanced at Zhu Huaijing, and said, "I'm not good, what can you do?" ”
Zhu Huaijing was bold and said, "You are really not good, I will accompany you." ”
Yuqin saw that the person in front of her had turned, so she pinched Zhu Huaijing's hand and said, "Don't talk about this, it's here." Is it you inviting or who is asking? ”
Zhu Huaijing understood Yuqin's intentions, and only said: "It's Secretary Zhang's invitation, you just have to arrange it for me." ”
As soon as everyone took their seats, Lei Fuchen came in. Zhu Huaijing hurriedly got up to shake hands with him and introduced the guests one by one. Lei Fuchen even said that distinguished guests, and said that as long as Director Zhu's friend comes, he will be my friend. When Zhu Huaijing heard Lei Fuchen say this, he naturally felt very embarrassed. Immediately, he felt that he had snubbed Fang Mingyuan, so he introduced Fang Mingyuan to Lei Fuchen again, and said, "This Director Fang is Mayor Pi's secretary and my good brother." ”
Lei Fuchen shook hands with Fang Mingyuan again, looking up for a long time, and please take care of him. After a while of arguing with the guests, Lei Fuchen said: "Here, please say hello to Mr. Mei." I still have several tables of guests to greet over there, all of which are banquets from the municipal party committee, municipal ** and some municipal departments, and I can't afford to be lazy. Have fun! ”
The waitress served tea and handed hot towels, just like that. The one who served the tea was the same Miss Zhao who poured the wine last time. Zhu Huaijing glanced at her and didn't say hello, for fear that Yuqin would say that he had a good memory. Yuqin sat beside him, with a dark fragrance. These service ladies in front of me are not as dazzling as last time. He just likes Yuqin now, so he is ashamed of his love for Miss Zhao last time, and secretly scolds himself for not being knowledgeable. But he didn't want to be too much of Yuqin today, he couldn't figure out what was going on with her.
Miss Zhao came over with a drink, and Zhu Huaijing looked at Zhang Tianqi. Zhang Tianqi was originally a person who could let go of any occasion, but when he saw Yuqin here today, he seemed a little restrained, and he forgot to greet everyone with what kind of wine to drink. Zhu Huaijing saw that he didn't react, so he asked, "Is it casual?" ”
Zhang Tianqi was in a state at this time, and hurriedly said: "All liquor, all liquor." ”
Zhu Huaijing looked at Yuqin and said, "Madam, just take care of yourself." ”
Yuqin said: "I drink mineral water. ”
Zhu Huaijing asked Yuqin gently: "Wang Chaobai doesn't come a little?" ”
Yuqin kicked him lightly underneath and said softly, "Fool! ”
This fool's voice made Zhu Huaijing very comfortable, and immediately became excited, and said: "Yuqin won't drink liquor, we can't embarrass the lady, right?" ”
When the food was served, Zhang Tianqi raised his glass and stood up, saying, "I'm very happy to be with you." On behalf of our Wuxian County Party Committee and the county, I would like to thank you for your strong support for the work in our county in the past. Everyone stood up in unison, and they staggered.
The cup was exhausted, and Zhu Huaijing said: "According to the rules of Jingdu, let's not stand below." "Everybody said yes.
Zhang Tianqi is still not very open, Fang Mingyuan is not very familiar with everyone, and the others may not see the world, and the atmosphere is not very warm. Zhang Tianqi immediately realized it and stood up again. Zhu Huaijing said that he would be punished for drinking. Zhang Tianqi had no choice but to sit down, raised his glass and said: "I hope you will continue to care about and support the work of Wuxian County in the future, and I will toast you again!" ”
This is still a machine, and Zhu Huaijing tried to create an atmosphere. He raised his glass to Fang Mingyuan and said, "My two brothers will talk about it later, and I will first salute the guests who came from afar." Come, Secretary Zhang, you are my old superior, thank you for your long-term concern for me, and I would like to give you a drink. Zhang Tianqi said where he was, and clinked glasses with Zhu Huaijing.
Several heads of county departments opened their mouths, saying that County Magistrate Zhu is our old superior, how to drink this cup? Zhu Huaijing waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I am younger than you, and I have been your leader for a few years, and there must be a lot of offenses. I would like to toast you all! "Those few people said, if you want to drink, drink them one by one, and you can't toast a few of us with a glass of wine. Zhu Huaijing said that there is a precedent first, didn't Secretary Zhang toast a table of people with a glass of wine just now? I don't want Xiao Tang to say: "Director Zhu, don't blame me for being too talkative." Secretary Zhang is the representative of the county party committee, the county, and it can also be said that he represents a million fathers and villagers in his hometown, can't drink this wine? Zhu Huaijing looked at Xiao Tang and felt that this young man was still smart. But this compliment was said to Zhang Tianqi: "Secretary Zhang, you really know how to choose people, and you chose such a smart young man as a secretary." Not bad. Okay, I'll salute them one by one! ”
After respecting the people in the county, Zhu Huaijing will respect Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan said: "It's not respect, it's not respect, my brothers and I have a drink together." ”
Fang Mingyuan raised his glass to Zhang Tianqi and a few people in the county. Yuqin saw that everyone was only paying attention to their toast, so she said softly to Zhu Huaijing, "You drink less." Zhu Huaijing's heart was hot when he heard this. The only one who wants to say such thoughtful words is her own woman.
Fang Mingyuan finished saluting a few people in the county, and of course he had to pay tribute to Zhu Huaijing when he turned around. Zhu Huaijing only said no, no, no. In fact, the amount of alcohol he drank was far from enough, just because he listened to Yuqin's words just now, and he didn't drink much. Where is Fang Mingyuan? Zhu Huaijing looked at Yuqin, shook his head, and had to drink. As soon as the wine was imported, it was found to be a glass of mineral water. It turned out that Yuqin had already instructed the young lady to secretly serve mineral water for him alone.
At this time, Yuqin raised her glass and said, "Everyone, I am here to serve everyone, and if you are not thoughtful, just bring it up." Forgive me for not drinking, but I salute you for a glass of fake wine. Although she drank mineral water, her toasting gesture was not unappreciated, and everyone had to thank them and raise their heads to drink.
Zhu Huaijing has such a woman sitting by her side to protect herself, unspeakably happy. I want to toast everyone's wine again. He drank mineral water, and toasted one round after another. Everyone was drunk, only Zhu Huaijing and Yuqin were sober. Fang Mingyuan's alcohol consumption was originally good, but today it was about the same, so he said: "Let's slow down the beat, smoke, and talk." I often eat with the comrades in the county, and I find that the comrades in the county are very good at telling jokes. ”
Zhang Tianqi smiled and said: "These comrades are all in a mess. It's just that today I saw that all of you are leaders of the city, and in such a stylish place, especially with Mr. Mei present, I don't dare to be presumptuous. ”
Fang Mingyuan said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. They're all mortals! Huaijing knows that these leaders in the city sometimes tell jokes together. It's all very level. ”
Zhang Tianqi said to several subordinates: "Each of you says one, this is the task!" ”
The atmosphere immediately became lively. The director of the Planning Commission said first: "We have an old lady there who took her little grandson out to play one day, and when she met a few old friends, she sat down and spoke vernacular. The little grandson always asked grandma to hug him, and grandma said, you are disobedient, grandma hugs you and does not move. The little grandson pouted and said, Grandpa is heavier than me, why do you always hold him? ”
Everyone burst into laughter. The finance secretary said, "Speaking of old lady jokes, I have one. There is an old lady who likes to fart the most, maybe she has a bad stomach. One day, the old lady was going to be a guest, and she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to fart all the time, so she took a little grandson with her. After explaining, the grandmother farted and the grandson confessed. During the meal, the grandmother kept farting, and the grandson was always scolded. This little guy is a fart guy! Grandma eats slowly, and she has to socialize with others. The grandson finished eating in three or two clicks, couldn't sit still, and wanted to play, so he asked grandma, are you still farting? I'll play without farting. ”
Laughter again. Zhang Tianqi laughed for a while and said, "It's funny to laugh, but don't talk like this kind of at this dinner table." ”
"These two jokes are jokes that have been around in our place for many years, and they are classics," said the director of the water and electricity department. I'll talk about a new one. At present, family planning is being grasped tightly, and it is really talked about every year, month after month. However, there are also some places where there is a lot of talk and not enough implementation. A county leader lost his temper at the meeting of the secretary of the township party committee, saying that all year round you only talk about the upper ring and the upper ring, and it will be on your mouth! ”
Fang Mingyuan said: "This joke is a bit level. Don Jr. also has one? ”
Xiao Tang said: "Where is this where I speak?" But Director Fang ordered, I'll just say one. I listened to other people's stories, and it was also a joke about family planning. In one township, the family planning specialist was an unmarried young woman. One day, she gave a lecture on family planning and introduced the use of condoms. She said, blow first to see if there is a leak, and then put it on. As he spoke, he demonstrated, but an unmarried woman was not good at how to draw, so she put a condom on her thumb. But there was a man who listened to the lecture and said to his wife that he had learned a new name today, as long as he put this thing on his thumb, he would not conceive a child, and he would save you from taking medicine. After a few months, the man went to the township to look for trouble, saying that he did what he said, and he was still pregnant, which was not his own responsibility, and he insisted on giving birth. ”
Everyone laughed again. Zhu Huaijing said: "Xiao Tang is just afraid that he is not married yet, he has such a high level." ”
Don Jr. was embarrassed.
