Chapter 15: The Science of Toasting
The two leaders let themselves toast each other first, and Xiao Jian knew that although this toast seemed to be a small problem, it was actually testing his ability to deal with the leader.
In general, the order of the toast should be as conventionally assigning the seats. Director Cao's words do not conform to the order of toasting, although there is some truth in what he said, but it may also be a trap, if Xiao Jian listens to Cao Ju's words and salutes Zhang Xiaojun, it will inevitably embarrass Zhang Xiaojun, and give people a feeling that Zhang Xiaojun can't wait to be on top. If you salute Director Cao according to Director Zhang's intentions, it will be in line with the rules of toasting, but it will make Director Cao unhappy.
Xiao Jian remembered that Director Zhang took great care of himself in his previous life, and the lesser of two evils was the lesser of two evils, Xiao Jian would rather choose to offend Director Cao, anyway, he was offended when he reported the account in the morning, and he didn't care about this more time.
Xiao Jian thought for a moment, then picked up the cup and said to Director Cao, "Director Cao, I still respect you first." ”
Director Cao's face showed slight displeasure, and then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "You, you, I asked you to respect Zhang Ju, why did you respect me in turn." It seems that the county officials are not as good as the current management."
When these words were spoken, Director Zhang's face changed slightly, and he had to laugh a few times.
Xiao Jian felt extremely harsh, the temperature on his face rose suddenly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solidified.
After being reborn, Xiao Jian's work is no longer as simple and direct as before, he always admonishes himself to be cautious in his words and deeds, improve his ability to observe words and colors, and cultivate the ability to be invisible.
This situation must be rounded, Xiao Jian's brain was running rapidly, and in an instant, he made a decision, and said in a somewhat ridiculous tone: "Director Cao, although you are not directly in charge of me, but the train runs fast, it all depends on the headband, you came to pick us up in person on the day we reported for duty, and arranged for us to be in the guest house of the municipal party committee, so that we can enjoy the treatment of the leader of the department-level cadres, I must respect you first for this glass of wine."
Xiao Jian's short sentences can be said to have fully given Director Cao face, not only patting Director Cao's sycophants, but also showing that the toast was his own initiative, and he was willing, not forced by Director Zhang.
After hearing Xiao Jian's words, Director Cao was very happy, and the displeasure just now also disappeared, and he drank the wine happily.
Xiao Jian then raised his glass and walked towards Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, I respect you for this cup and thank you for your care for me all the time."
This sentence is Xiao Jian's heartfelt words, in his previous life, Zhang Ju did take good care of himself. After finishing speaking, Xiao Jian realized that he was wrong, he had just been here for two days, where did Director Zhang take care of him "all the time"?
However, Zhang Xiaojun didn't care about this, he could feel Xiao Jian's sincerity, and he was very satisfied with the performance of this subordinate today, Zhang Xiaojun felt that this young man was good.
"Young man, work hard, the future will be yours," Zhang Xiaojun drank it all.
Zheng Xuan saw Xiao Jian's actions, and also began to toast to Director Cao according to the gourd painting scoop. The section-level cadres of the unit stood up one after another to toast the leaders.
Xiao Jian then walked towards Director Ling, who raised his glass in one hand and held the bottom of the cup in the other to toast Director Ling.
But unexpectedly, Director Ling was also very polite, and his wine glass was lower than Xiao Jian's.
At the wine table, the subordinates toast to the superiors, and the wine glass must be lower than the other party, which is the basic rule. Xiao Jian thought to himself, I am in the right position as a subordinate, but you are so polite as a leader that I can't be a person.
The two of them clinked glasses for a few rounds, Xiao Jian couldn't help it, he held up the bottom of Director Ling's cup with one hand, his own cup was shortened, and said with a smile: "Director Ling is too polite, please take care of Director Ling in the future", after speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine.
When Director Ling saw this young man so straightforward, he was no longer polite and drank it all.
Xiao Jian walked up to Secretary Chen Gang and said, "Secretary Chen, thank you for helping us transfer the relationship between party members and organizations. ”
Chen Gang is in charge of political science and engineering, he smiled and said, "The young man is polite."
After saluting all the big leaders, Xiao Jian felt that the strength of the wine began to rise, and he hurriedly returned to his seat to eat. Xiao Jian's amount of alcohol is normally half a catty, of course, it also depends on the mood and environment, if you are very happy, it is no problem to drink seven or eight taels, on the contrary, if you are very depressed, you will get drunk with two or three taels.
At this point, everyone began to drink from each other. Xiao Jian ate some vegetables, observed, and started drinking from Section Chief Liu Gang, who was closest to him.
After saluting Section Chief Liu, Xiao Jian walked up to Section Chief Tian and said, "Section Chief Tian, please give me more guidance in the future, I will do whatever you want." ”
Tian Zhiqian's wine glass was not full, and he didn't stand up, so he took the wine glass to his mouth expressionlessly and sipped it.
Xiao Jian didn't care, after being reborn, he didn't care whether Tian Zhiqian was happy or not, and he didn't bother to curry favor with him. Because Xiao Jian knows Tian Zhiqian too well, it is useless to treat this kind of jealous and capable person, and in an organ unit, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, unless he is willing to be an unprincipled "good man", but this is against Xiao Jian's nature, and he can't do it.
Xiao Jian came to a few female colleagues to drink, Fan Ying of the financial department and Zhanmei of the economic information department did not drink, the two of them picked up the teacup and said: "Xiao Xiao, you drink less, we don't drink, you drink as you like." ”
Xiao Jian was not polite, he drank a little wine.
Drinking is a science, depending on the occasion. Be upright when you should be upright, be upright when you should be upright, be upright when you should be sliding, and stand up when you should stand up for the leader. If a person does not want to drink, then he must stick to his principles from the first time and resolutely refrain from drinking, otherwise he will give the impression that his words and deeds are inconsistent.
Today is drinking within the unit, Xiao Jian doesn't need to be so upright, if he doesn't drink regardless of the occasion and the object, it will be purely a fool's behavior.
Xiao Jian walked next to Wang Yuanyun, the head of the personnel section, Wang's pretty face was crimson, and she threw a wink at Xiao Jian: "The two of them can get away with it, but I can't." ”
A few people next to him began to coax: "Xiao Jian, it's full and full."
Xiao Jian hurriedly poured the wine full, and said with a smile: "Section Chief Wang, Xiao Xiao respects you a glass."
Wang Yuanyun laughed and trembled: "Don't call Section Chief Wang, just call me Sister Yun." ”
Xiao Jian couldn't stand the numb sound, and tilted his neck to dry the wine.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanyun immediately poured Xiao Jian full: "Come, let my sister fill it for you."
At this time, Director Cao's gaze also shifted here, and he shouted: "Xiao Xiao, if you drink with Wang Meinu, you must drink at least three times."
Xiao Jian smiled helplessly and said, "Section Chief Wang is massive, I can't do it." ”
Director Cao then said an intriguing sentence: "Xiao Xiao, a man can't say no."
Several people around him chuckled under their breath.
Xiao Jian felt the heat on his face, and he didn't know if it was the effect of alcohol or psychology, so he had to bite the bullet and drink two more glasses with Wang Yuanyun.
Xiao Jian finally saluted everyone, nearly 20 people, a cup has 3 yuan, he drank about half a catty in this circle, he felt the wine churning in his stomach and wanted to rise, so he hurriedly returned to his seat and drank two bowls of soup before he could be regarded as suppressing the wine.
At this moment, the wine was strong, and everyone was very interested, and the middle cadres of those units asked several bureau leaders to toast. Toasting at the wine table is the best time for employees to show loyalty to the leader and reflect their demands, without saying anything, everything is in the wine.
Xiao Jian knew that he and Zheng Xuan were just the cause of today's dinner, and he must correct his mentality, and he must not regard himself as the center, Director Cao is the center of this dinner.
The meal lasted for 2 hours, and the wine was almost drunk. Director Cao's interest was undiminished, and he asked Xiao Jian if he would play Jiangzhou mahjong, and Xiao Jian said that he wouldn't. Director Zhang said that he had to study quickly, and he couldn't play mahjong, so he couldn't integrate into the circle of friends in Jiangzhou.
Director Cao, Director Zhang, Secretary Chen Gang and Wang Yuanyun stayed in the private room to continue the war, Director Hou went down to pay, and the others consciously dispersed slowly.
Back at the guest house, Xiao Jian was too drunk to fall on the bed without taking off his clothes, and he snored after a while.
Zheng Xuan had insomnia again. Throughout the dinner, Zheng Xuan was very depressed. He didn't know how Xiao Jian accurately called out the names of everyone present when he was toasting. Of course, he didn't know that Xiao Jian had 13 years of officialdom memories in his previous life, and no matter how smart Zheng Xuan's mind was, he couldn't figure it out, and Zheng Xuan couldn't compare with Xiao Jian in a short period of time in this regard.
