Chapter 248: A Sumptuous Luncheon
It seems that the issue of dividing the room can only be put on hold for the time being, and it will be decided after lunch. Conan is willing to suffer his own losses, and these people will not thank him, but think that he is honest and deceivable. In fact, Conan Ji was born with a dislike of arguing with people. It's not fun to fight around.
Conan's idea is to work in an institution, so that he can have a fixed income, so that he can ensure that he completes his university courses and gets a diploma, and then he has more choices. Fortunately, with this plan, he is not afraid of a long way. If you keep going, you will be able to get out of the sky. Ji Conan still has some confidence in himself. It's just that it's not good to show off anything in front of people, this show-off is a vulgar and shallow performance. There is no need to have longer legs and shorter legs than chickens.
When you meet someone you don't like, especially when you meet someone you hate, Conan can only be patient, it's not easy to deal with people, even if you get along with your wife, there are always a lot of unsatisfactory places, that's a person who is destined to stay for a lifetime, there will be a lot of trouble, not to mention that there is a time limit with Togo and Yin Xianren, sooner or later you have to separate, just like there is a reason to gather and disperse, there is no need to worry about it, these calculations may not be fatal, but it is enough to affect the mood every day, and over time, there will be problems.
Since Conan came to work in the agency, the time in the agency is much longer than the time at home, and the time spent dealing with colleagues is much more than the time spent dealing with his wife and children, this is no way to do it, say noble, Conan is for most of the welfare, say vulgar, for the sake of eating, the so-called bread for the family, in the field is to support yourself, to make a living, in addition, you can send money to the family, to support your wife and son, that is, the most basic life needs. It is impossible to say that there is a balance or savings. It's good to be alive, and there is hope if you can live.
In this case, the two-sided nature of man is revealed. However, this is another level of problem, and now we have to solve the problem of eating first.
Eating is a practical problem placed in front of Conan, and the food in the small county town is very expensive, so expensive that Conan can't afford it at all, and he didn't expect it to be like this.
This is a budget, and it is necessary to solve the problem of eating. Manager Wang called and said, "Go to Deyue Tower, let's eat there." Go for it right away. ”
After putting the phone, Conan was about to leave, and Yin Xianren said, "Don't be in such a hurry!" It's like we don't have a place to eat, we have to take our time, let's go and wait for them first, let them wait for us. ”
Conan listened to what he said, and he didn't say more, because Conan's attitude was to avoid friction as much as possible, whatever he said, it was what he was, and here, he had an absolute advantage, far from what he used to be. When he arrived in Huizhou, he wore a hat similar to that of a sanitation worker, which was said to be from a foreign country, and was very dazzling, orange, and could be seen from afar. It is said that so-and-so likes to wear a red hat and a red tie. Yoon Hyun-in may be a little wrong with him, and he doesn't wear a tie.
He wore this hat and seemed to be very familiar with the person in charge, because this was the hat of Mr. Feng Feifei, one of the people in charge, and the hat of Mr. in charge, which was from a foreign country. Foreigners like to pursue novelty and freshness, and this kind of hat, in the eyes of mainland men, is similar to clowns or singers, and will not take the initiative to wear this hat. However, in a clever way of stammering with the person in charge, it is to often let the person in charge see familiar things, proving that Feng Feifei, who values the person in charge in his mind, Feng Feifei is naturally happy, and he will not wear small shoes for the person in charge, not embarrassed, at least it will make the person who likes to stammer better. This is the art of struggle.
Yin Xianren wore a hat and told people more than once that this was the hat of Teacher Qi's husband.
The first time he heard this, Conan was in awe, yes, not ordinary people can wear this hat, only second-class people deserve to have this hat; The second time he heard this, Conan didn't think so, wasn't it just a yellow hat? It's not a yellow coat. If you have a yellow coat, you will not be killed, and if you don't have a yellow coat, you will be beheaded; There are yellow hats, which are not worth showing off. The third time he heard this, Conan felt very disgusted. He's a bit like Xianglin's sister-in-law, too long-winded.
Conan doesn't like to show off like this, and he doesn't like people who show off, and more importantly, when people are old, there are many words, and when a tree is old, there are many roots, and the roots are intertwined, and I don't know the specific number.
Manager Wang's phone called again, urging them to go quickly, and Togo said, "Let's go, it's time." ”
Yin Xianren had nothing to say, so he had to agree, he said: "Only by going like this can it look noble, as if this meal is what we begged for, you know, we are not that kind of people." There is food everywhere, so why eat this meal from the coordination office. ”
Conan nodded, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable, but it was a little too righteous, people invited you to dinner a little late, but people don't open restaurants, and they are waiting for you to arrive at any time. You didn't greet people in advance, so you can't blame them for not being hospitable.
The three of them closed the door, walked down the stairs, left the dormitory, left the construction machinery company, and then went to the street to the Deyue Building.
When I went up to the second floor, I found that there were people at the door, it was two young sisters, and asked, "How many may I ask?" ”
Togo said, "What do you see? ”
"I think there are three of them now."
"I know, I still ask."
It seems that Togo is hungry and dizzy, and people are waiters, so why treat people like this? Besides, people are also people, why are they so vicious? They are all from humble backgrounds, so there is no need to practice this.
Conan asked, "We are guests of the branch. ”
"Oh, I see, please come with me." The sister said.
Everyone followed the sister together, walked to a private room, the door said "Peony Pavilion", the sister opened the door, and everyone was greeted by Manager Wang, and other staff, some young, some old, they saw Conan them, quickly stood up, and said, "Welcome, welcome!" ”
Manager Wang stretched out his hand, shook hands with everyone, greeted everyone, greeted each other, and seemed very enthusiastic, for fear that a careless sentence would affect the image of the official in the eyes of the people, and he was afraid that an action would make the official's brilliance gray.
Yin Xianren and Togo also stretched out their hands and shook hands with them, Togo is the most afraid of being an official, it seems that there is fraud in it, when he returns to the state, he doesn't want to go to the county branch, because he is afraid of seeing an official. However, when he arrived in Jiufeng, the situation changed, and he liked to go to see the officials.
Conan thought about this question, oh, I understand, it turns out that when he returned to the state, he let Conan go to the state first, and Togo went later. Generally speaking, people have preconceived ideas, and the people in the county branch of Guizhou recognize Conan, not Togo, and naturally, they don't recognize Togo, and Togo feels it, and in order to avoid trouble, they simply don't want to go. Let Conan carry everything alone.
When he arrived at Jiufeng, the situation changed, and the preconceived idea was not someone else, it was Togo and Yin Xianren, and the person in charge arranged it this way to make Conan be excluded. Because Conan is powerful, if he continues to develop, he will pass the person in charge, and the position of the person in charge will be threatened, and the person in charge will have to find a way to suppress Conan and prevent Conan from continuing to grow. The aim is to eliminate the threat. Of course, Ji Conan knows very well that he is using the minions of the person in charge to achieve his goal, and Togo and Yin Xianren are both minions of the person in charge, and they are very sharp.
After being excluded, Conan didn't dare to be proud, in fact, Conan was not proud at all, but he had a proud face, just like "Uncle Cousin", with a smiling face, and he always looked very happy. Later, he was arrested, tried, and sentenced, and he was still a smiling face, his face was his face, and there was no way to change this. In the era of eating with your face, you can't do without a good face.
Everyone was arranged to sit down, and on either side of Manager Wang, a staff member of the institution (foundation) sat on each side, who should be invited? Yin Xianren and Togo, on the right, sat another staff member of the county branch, and then Conan.
Conan didn't care about this arrangement, and the officials of the coordination office talked about hierarchy among themselves, and the concept was very serious, which could be understood from the position where they sat at the banquet. The seats facing the door are generally reserved for the highest status; Then sit in the order of respect and inferiority, and sit next to the guest of honor, which is second-class, just like Shuibo Liangshan one hundred and eight generals, sit in accordance with the order of respect and inferiority.
Conan's status, at a glance at the banquet, you can probably understand, to show people, Conan is actually the "third-in-command", in front of the staff of the branch, the display is the third-in-command, in the institution, Qisina is the "third-in-command".
The lunch is very rich, mutton hot pot, as well as yellow croaker, bacon, pig's trotters, etc., with good dishes, it is good wine, ask Conan if he drinks, Conan shook his head, and then asked Yin Xianren, Yin Xianren said: "According to the regulations, you can't drink it." ”
After Yin Xianren finished speaking, he stared at the wine for ten seconds, and was captured by Manager Wang, and he had a number in his heart.
"The mountains here are high and the roads are far away, and the emperor is beyond the reach of the whip, the person in charge of your institution can't control coming here, you can eat if you want, drink if you want, don't be restrained." Manager Wang said, smiling, as if he was really far away from the emperor, and had the courage to pull the emperor off the horse. That kind of momentum or spirit, some overwhelming posture, is amazing, it turns out that this place is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Manager Wang, we can't say that, we are charities, we all have love, we all believe in God, the person in charge is not there, but God is there, we will definitely be condemned by God if we do bad things." Yin Xianren said that he was very serious, as if he hated wine.
"Drinking isn't a bad thing, is it? Besides, God can't see it, so how can he condemn you? Manager Wang said slowly after taking a bite of the dish.
"Manager Wang, drinking is not doing a bad thing, but drinking is breaking the rules of the institution, which is equivalent to doing a bad thing." Yin Xianren said that he looked angry, he didn't speak, he didn't laugh, and he gave people the feeling that it was also frightening, because his seriousness exceeded the seriousness of ordinary people, and his expression was extremely solemn, as if he was about to enter the threshold of life and death.
"So, what do you say about condemnation?" Manager Wang asked.
Yoon Hyun-in took a bite of the dish and said, "Condemnation in my heart, uneasy conscience." ”
"Well, we also have a rule that you can't drink alcohol at noon. This is the rule of the county coordination office, if you drink at noon, you will not be able to work in the afternoon, and if you find out, you will have to take responsibility, such as deducting points, reducing benefits and wages. Manager Wang said.
"Oh, it turns out that the staff is not easy to be a staff member!" Togo laughed.
"Yes, there are more restrictions on the staff, there is no freedom, if I retire, I really want to work in a private charity, it is better to work in an organization like yours, I can use my spare energy and contribute to the society." Manager Wang said that it doesn't look like a joke, it doesn't look like a joke, and it can't be done, it's just talking.
After listening to Manager Wang's words, Conan thought to himself, if you do charity, then anyone can do charity. It's really self-sufficient, but Conan hates these unreliable words in his heart, but he doesn't show them on the surface, so as not to give them a bad impression.
Yin Xianren had already given a bad impression just now, but he didn't know it yet, and he thought that he was a public figure, or a central figure, and people with this kind of blind self-confidence were very scary. The light will be condemned by conscience, and the heavy will be punished by conscience.
"It's okay not to drink, so let's have a drink. What do you like to drink? Manager Wang asked.
"Let's drink some pure milk." Conan said.
Of course, if you buy a few cows in the hotel, you can squeeze out milk every day, this hotel will definitely make a fortune, many rich people want to drink pure milk, but can't drink it, what you drink is sold in the supermarket, and it is not possible to drink fresh pure milk.
"Okay, let's listen to pure milk three times." Manager Wang ordered, and the younger sister who was waiting next to her turned around and went out, and after a while, she came back, holding three bottles of pure milk in her hand, and gave them one by one.
Manager Wang asked: "Is drinking pure milk with some sugar, or should it be heated?" ”
"No, that's fine. That's great! Togo said.
It seems that Togo likes this kind of occasion very much, after all, it is welcomed by the locals, even if it is pretended, the form is also to meet the conditions, which is considered to be the wish of Togo. You know, since I was a child, I have been serving people, and now I am a little unaccustomed to being served!
While drinking, eating, and chatting, Conan knows a lot of things, astronomy and geography, can talk, but Togo also wants to join, but unfortunately he knows too little, and the dialect is too heavy, and the words he says are not easy to understand, which is depressing.
He was very active and wanted to participate in the discussion, but he didn't succeed, and then he simply didn't say anything, and he didn't ask about the future.
Yoon Hyun-in knew a little bit and could barely deal with it, and Conan saw that he was interested in discussing some boring issues, so Conan kept his mouth shut, and let Yoon Hyun-in make a lot of nonsense to achieve the purpose of his performance and satisfy his vanity. Yin Xianren can speak well, which may have something to do with opening a shop in his hometown. He can handle it from the south to the north, and in this place, it is not a problem.
