Chapter 59 Refusal of Bribes
The atmosphere at the wine table was very harmonious, and several of the wine escorts invited by Pang Ziqi not only had a high amount of wine, but also could speak well, and were good at adjusting the atmosphere, so that the glasses on the table were staggered, and the laughter was like beads, and unconsciously, he drank for more than two hours, although he reminded himself not to get drunk again in advance, but under the joint efforts of several people, Zhou Jing still felt dizzy and difficult to parry, so he went to the bathroom for some reason.
As soon as the door was closed, the wine was like a rain of arrows, spurting straight out of the throat, and then like a goddess scattering flowers, out of control, this situation had happened before, but this time it was particularly powerful, the stomach and intestines were like hiding thousands of troops, under the encouragement of alcohol, wave after wave pouring out, that hearty feeling, people were also refreshed, and seemed to be sober a lot.
In a loud sound, Zhou Jing walked out slowly, went to the sink to wash his hands, lit a cigarette, frowned and smoked, stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes, and then returned to the private room, after sitting down again, he only drank half a glass, pretended to be too drunk, squinted on the chair and pretended to be drunk, the wine field is like a battlefield, rather than being put down, it is better to make the deception out, this is a choice that has to be made when the enemy is strong and I am weak.
Obviously, the next situation proved that his choice was still very correct, after Zhou Jing pretended to be drunk, the other party targeted Geng Changrong and Ran Pengfei, and a wave of dense firepower quickly put the two down, and it was only at this time that Pang Ziqi regretted it a little, and kept blaming himself at the table, only saying that he drank too quickly, and originally booked to go to KTV and take a bath, but he couldn't go.
As if it reappeared yesterday, after half a month, Zhou Jing was once again carried upstairs by two men with big shoulders and round waists, took the elevator to the upstairs room, and was thrown straight onto a round leather bed, the two of them were polite, helped Zhou Jing take off his coat and shoes, and then turned to leave, after the sound of closing the door, Zhou Jing sighed, sat up slowly, rubbed his numb arms, and looked around.
This hotel is still the first time to visit, it feels very magnificent, the room is also carefully decorated, there is an oil painting on the opposite wall, it is a woman in black dressed in the luxurious service of Russian high society, sitting in a luxurious open-top carriage, in the background of the famous Alexander Theater in St. Petersburg, the woman in the picture is proud and cold, giving people a condescending but energetic feeling, very attractive.
The furniture in the guest room is also very luxurious, full of Western classical charm, the simple atmosphere of the desk, there is a unique table lamp, even the cashmere carpet spread on the ground, also embroidered with large flowers, it looks magnificent, full of artistic atmosphere, of course, the most attractive is the leather round bed under Zhou Jing's body, a little movement, the bed is shaking tremblingly, very comfortable.
Although the dinner was extremely rich and full of delicious food, he only cared about drinking wine at that time, and did not have the opportunity to eat the staple food, plus he vomited badly before, and his stomach was empty, which was very uncomfortable, so Zhou Jing got up and went to the ground, went to the shelf and found two boxes of bowls of noodles, soaked them in hot water, and devoured them.
Ten minutes later, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, took a hot shower, and lay down in the bathtub to take a bath. ”
An extremely heroic laugh sounded in his ears, and immediately, a magnetic baritone voice came out: "Director Zhou, I'm Pang Ziqi!" ”
Zhou Jing immediately came to his senses and covered up with a smile: "Hello, Brother Ziqi, I drank too much, and I can't hear your voice clearly!" ”
Pang Ziqi lowered his voice and said in a very sincere voice: "Director Zhou, I'm really sorry, those friends are not very sensible, and the leader on the wine table is high, so I will send you back to the hotel, or else, you sober up first, and I will visit you in half an hour!" ”
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "No need, Brother Ziqi, since we are all friends, don't be polite, will you come to Japan!" ”
Pang Ziqi refused, frowned, and said stubbornly: "Then how can I do it, you have helped me a lot, I have to thank you a lot!" ”
Zhou Jing heard the sound outside the strings, smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "Brother Ziqi, I received your mind, and there is no need for anything else." ”
"Haha, Director Zhou, since I'm a friend, don't see me outside, so let's send those people away first, and I'll visit later." Pang Ziqi thought it was a polite remark, so he didn't care, smiled and chatted a few words, hung up the phone, and walked out.
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, put the phone aside, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, looked at the smoke between his fingers, and secretly thought to himself, this Pang Ziqi has a flexible mind, is good at observing faces, is very good at talking, and pays attention to things, no wonder there is an excellent popularity.
After lying in the bathtub for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jing jumped out, took a hair dryer, dried his hair, wrapped himself in a bath towel and went outside, turned out a brand new brown pajamas in the wardrobe and put them on, and it fit very well.
"Director Zhou, I'm really sorry, I was delayed on the way!" Pang Ziqi's smile is very sincere and infectious.
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "Brother Ziqi, please come in!" ”
"Good!" Pang Ziqi's expression was mysterious, he glanced back, entered the house, closed the door casually, and walked to the edge of the sofa.
Zhou Jing raised his hand and smiled: "Sit, sit!" ”
"Okay, okay!" Pang Ziqi was very cautious, put the two gift boxes on the coffee table, and waited for Zhou Jing to sit down before sitting next to him with a smile.
Zhou Jing took out a cigarette, handed it to him, pointed to the gift box in front of him, and said indifferently: "Ziqi, this one has to be taken away, don't embarrass me!" ”
Pang Ziqi's expression remained unchanged, he put the cigarette firmly between his fingers, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, don't be careful, just order tea, nothing else." ”
Zhou Jing shook his head and said categorically: "Ziqi, you may not know very well, I am a person who resolutely refuses to accept gifts, no matter how much, I will refuse to accept them, whoever breaks this rule is not a friend!" ”
Pang Ziqi was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and after a while, he came back to his senses and reluctantly smiled: "Okay, Director Zhou, then I won't embarrass you, but fortunately, with your help in the afternoon, such a big trouble was solved." ”
Zhou Jing sighed, pointed to the gift box, and said solemnly: "Brother Ziqi, I knew that you brought a gift, so I won't help in the afternoon." ”
Pang Ziqi was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Director Zhou, it's time to review, in fact, I am still innocent in terms of economy, but I am worried that I will miss this promotion opportunity because of the investigation, otherwise, I am not afraid of investigation, and I may be able to find out a clean official!" ”
Zhou Jing listened, his face softened, he frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a smile: "That's good, I finally didn't help the wrong person!" ”
"Director Zhou, I won't tell you, although the current atmosphere of officialdom is not very ideal, but my criterion for dealing with people is to be a good official, to be a good official, of course, I have to start from being a clean official, if I am willing to go on the road, I will not be a deputy section chief now!"
Pang Ziqi also drank too much wine and found it difficult to control his emotions, so he painted and described his life and work experience in the municipal government office over the years, among which there were many grievances and unwillingness, and there were also some extremely inspirational things, which can be felt.
Zhou Jing listened quietly, and through careful observation, he also felt that Pang Ziqi was extremely shrewd, spoke clearly, and was a good talent, but in the officialdom, the most important thing may be talent, the road to rise is too difficult and tortuous, many people lack opportunities, there is no stage to display their talents, and they may have to pass by on the cold bench for the rest of their lives.
Chatting and chatting, I felt that it was very speculative, Zhou Jing also opened his heart and communicated with him, the two talked for half an hour on a whim, Pang Ziqi was also very happy, and went outside to ask for a chessboard, set up a horse cannon, and played three games, before it was fun, Pang Ziqi got up and said goodbye, Zhou Jing handed the gift box to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Ziqi, we are gentlemen's friends are as light as tea!" ”
Pang Ziqi smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Director Zhou, it's really funny, I have been honest for most of my life, and I almost lost my life, but thanks to your reminder, I didn't make a mistake!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, knowing what he meant, obviously, among these gifts, it is not just as simple as tea, and he feels heavy when he weighs it, and there are tens of thousands of yuan by feeling, he sighed and said half-jokingly: "Don't be afraid of mistakes, just correct it as soon as possible, if you want to drink tea in the future, it's better for me to find you!" ”
Pang Ziqi looked slightly embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, Director Zhou, I don't want to enter the door of your Commission for Discipline Inspection again!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled, sent him to the door, and said softly: "Ziqi, go slowly, and contact him often in the future!" ”
"Okay, okay!" Pang Ziqi smiled and walked downstairs quickly.
He got into the car, only then suddenly remembered something, patted his head, shouted a headache, took out his mobile phone, called Zhou Jing, after the phone was connected, he lowered his voice and said uneasily: "Leader, I forgot just now, I made a mistake, I want to review it from you!" ”
Zhou Jing was surprised and smiled: "What's the situation?" ”
Pang Ziqi smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "I was bewitched by a friend, I found a model, and I will go to your side later!" ”
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and said extremely unhappily: "Ziqi, you really let me say something!" ”
Pang Ziqi laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Director, don't say anything, next time I drink, I will punish myself with three glasses!" ”
Zhou Jing snorted, hung up the phone, took a cigarette, looked out the window, and sighed: "Model? Forget it! ”
