The interview did not end until half past five, and Director Yuan made arrangements in advance, he wanted to leave the media reporters for dinner, and Zhang Deputy Editor-in-Chief and other media people did not accept the interview subject's invitation, but it was difficult to refuse, because this interview was completely on orders, without any commercial purpose, and having a meal did not violate any major principles.

Fang Hanmin thought that the dinner was a guest of the press by the factory leaders, and he was too self-aware to follow the participation, so he took the opportunity to go downstairs and slipped away through another staircase.

Before getting into the car, Director Yuan found that Fang Hanmin was not present, he asked Mr. Xia what was going on, and Lao Xia speculated that Fang Hanmin might have gone to the staff canteen to eat.

"You go and get him." Old Yuan commanded.

Lao Xia went straight to the staff canteen, because there were not many employees eating in the canteen at night, as he expected, Lao Xia saw at a glance that Fang Hanmin had just bought food from the window and was about to sit down to eat.

He walked quickly to Fang Hanmin, "Don't eat, follow me." ”

"With you? Where to go? I haven't eaten the food I just bought. Fang Hanmin asked knowingly.

"You don't know, Director Yuan invited friends from the press to dinner, and we all have to accompany him, and the car is still waiting in front."

"Accompanying friends in the press is the business of the factory leaders, so I won't go, right?"

"Don't bother, come with me, it was Director Yuan who asked me to come to you."

Seeing that Lao Xia was in a hurry, Fang Hanmin no longer shirked, he asked the master of the canteen to help him deal with the food in the tableware, and followed Lao Xia towards the parking lot in front of the factory office building.

The guest and the host arrived at the predetermined hotel in two cars, and the guide took the guests to the predetermined private room, and Director Yuan personally arranged the seating and tasting of dishes and drinks.

Before the official start of the dinner, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang said in a casual conversation: "Director Yuan, your Section Chief Fang doesn't look very old, right? I became a department head at a young age, and my future is limitless! ”

"Yes, Section Chief Fang is only twenty-four or five years old, I am at his age, and I am still working three shifts with the workers in the workshop, and now the stage is very broad, giving young people more opportunities to perform, as long as they have real skills, they will be reused." In front of reporters, Director Yuan of course has to express his concept of cherishing talents.

"Section Chief Fang, do you feel lucky to meet a leader like Director Yuan?" Deputy editor-in-chief Zhang intends to highlight Lao Yuan's Bole spirit.

"I am very fortunate that my work has been supported by Director Yuan, so to speak, without the support of Director Yuan, I am afraid that I have achieved nothing so far, just like Director Yuan said, maybe I will still work three shifts with the workers in the workshop." Fang Hanmin said frankly.

Lao Yuan is more pragmatic, not trying to be famous, it's okay to listen to a few words of flattery, if there are too many flattering words, he thinks it's too vulgar, so he doesn't want to talk too much about this topic at the wine table, "As factory leaders, we should support the work of young people with great fanfare, which is not worth publicizing, the key is that young people must have the spirit of daring to dare to do, and have the courage to show their wisdom, but there are too few such young people!" ”

While talking, the wine and food were served one after another, the waiter poured the cups of the guests full of wine, and Director Yuan proposed to toast to today's successful interview!

The host has never set foot in such an occasion, and the traveler's study and short career experience are mainly in Europe, so Fang Hanmin is very unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, and he does not understand the etiquette, rules, routines, and toasting order and other customs on the wine table.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when the other guests and hosts were staggered and pushed the cup to change the lamp, Fang Hanmin was stupidly at a loss. Among the guests and hosts, Fang Hanmin was the youngest, the least qualified, and the lowest status, and it stands to reason that he should toast to the factory leaders and the guests of the media respectively, but he didn't know these etiquettes, and sat in a daze.

Since it was decided to let Fang Hanmin participate in today's wine party, of course Director Yuan would not let Fang Hanmin lose face in front of the guests, he reminded: "Hanmin, my task with Mr. Xia has been completed, and today you are also the host, now it is your turn to toast the guests." ”

Because he seemed very passive, Fang Hanmin felt a little embarrassed, he immediately stood up and said mechanically: "Okay, I toast to the guests and wish everyone a smooth work!" Career success! ”

Just when Fang Hanmin was about to take the lead in toasting, he only heard Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang say: "Slow, how do you drink this wine?" ”

Fang Hanmin looked at each other inexplicably, "How, how to drink?" Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Director Yuan and Mr. Xia are both older than us, we don't compare with the two leaders, but Section Chief Fang is our elder brother in terms of age, should we set a limit for drinking?" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang was the oldest among several media guests, but he was only in his forties, which was the time when he drank heavily.

"Quantity? Editor-in-Chief Zhang, what do you say? Fang Hanmin didn't know what to do.

"You are engaged in technology, the concept of quantity should be clearer than ours, or you decide." Deputy editor-in-chief Zhang said with a pun.

Seeing that Fang Hanmin still didn't know what he meant, Mr. Xia reminded: "Editor-in-chief Zhang's meaning, let you decide how many sips to drink and how much to drink each time." ”

"Oh----," Fang Hanmin thought to himself, it's really not worth it to drink so much trouble! "Then drink wine in a glass and drink it dry twice."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang shook his head, "There is less than half a glass of wine in the cup, which is not commensurate with the courage shown by Section Chief Fang in his work!" Why don't you make a suggestion and ask the waiter to fill the cup and drink half of it in one gulp and dry it in two sips, what do you think? ”

Several other guests are younger than Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang, of course there is no problem with drinking this little wine, Fang Hanmin is younger than them, and it should be even more of a problem, but the amount of alcohol is not necessarily related to age, the younger ones may not be able to drink the older ones, I heard that two sips drank a dry glass, Fang Hanmin lacked confidence in himself, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Section Chief Fang, do you agree with my suggestion?" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang urged.

Fang Hanmin's face flushed in embarrassment, "I'...... I'm afraid I can't drink so much alcohol. ”

"If you can't drink it, you can leave it, I'll drink it for you!" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhang looked a little impatient, and it seemed that he cared a lot about drinking.

"This, how can you drink it for me, but ......" Fang Hanmin glanced at Director Yuan helplessly.

Lao Yuan felt that a glass of wine should not be too much of a problem for Fang Hanmin, but he hadn't tried it, and he was a little timid, so he encouraged: "Hanmin, you may not have had many opportunities to drink before, you might as well give it a try today, maybe it's not as difficult as you imagined." ”

Encouraged by Director Yuan, Fang Hanmin plucked up his courage, "Okay, ask the waiter to fill the cup, and drink it in two sips according to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's suggestion!" ”

Fang Hanmin raised his glass, "I wish Editor-in-Chief Zhang and all the reporters a smooth work!" Cheers! After speaking, he raised his neck, took a big sip, and the wine in the cup went down halfway, swallowed it forcibly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank the tea in the cup with a gurgling grunt.

After settling down and taking a bite of food, as Director Yuan said, it didn't feel as difficult as I imagined. So, Fang Hanmin raised his glass again and drank the remaining wine in the cup.

After a glass of wine, although there was no abnormality, Fang Hanmin felt a little floating.

According to local customs, the wine table pays attention to coming and not being rude, the host expresses his hospitality, and the guests have to pay tribute, because Director Yuan and Mr. Xia are more than fifty people, in the face of the guests' returns, they just symbolically take a small sip, but it is different with Fang Hanmin, the guests asked to drink with him, after a wheel battle, Fang Hanmin drank two more glasses, the total amount exceeded three glasses of wine, which has reached his limit!

The driver sent Fang Hanmin back to the dormitory, and he didn't even have time to wash up, and fell asleep on the bed.

......

Two days later, the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory through the use of new technology, completely eliminate the deeds of wastewater pollution, at the same time in the front page of the Shuangling Daily headlines, Shuangling People's Radio Station and Shuangling TV morning news programs, it can really be said that the newspaper is famous, there is sound on the radio, there is a shadow in the TV, this news report, the publicity effect of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is too good!

Since the afternoon of the same day, Fang Hanmin has received calls one after another, of course, the first one to call was Yu Dongmei, she said excitedly on the phone: "Fang Hanmin, your unit is really amazing!" Not only in the newspapers, but also in the radio and television news, I heard and saw your deeds. You are even more powerful, and you are interviewed with your factory director, and this time you have greatly shown your face! ”

"Hey, it's not as amazing as it says in the news, how about being interviewed with the factory director and showing your face? I didn't think so. ”

"Fang Hanmin, your low-key personality is also beneficial, if you change to someone else, you don't know how to show off, you treat this kind of thing in a low-key manner, not at all publicity, which is conducive to continued progress. Go for it! Youngster. After speaking, Yu Dongmei laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Fang Hanmin didn't know what he meant.

"It's nothing, I'm happy for you." ......

When he was about to get off work, the phone on Fang Hanmin's desk rang again, and he picked it up, and before he could speak, he heard a somewhat familiar voice on the other end of the phone, "Is it the technical department of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory?" ”

"Yes, this is the Technical Section."

"You're Fang Hanmin, right?"

"Yes, may I ask you ......?"

"Hanmin, I'm Lao Liu of the Guichun County Water Conservancy Bureau!"

"Ouch! Liu Gong, hello hello! Maybe because of the poor quality of long-distance calls, the voice on the phone is not the same as your real voice, and it sounds a little familiar, but I'm not sure it's you, so I didn't dare to take the initiative to say hello. Liu Gong, how did you find me? ”

"I used the unit's external contact number to get through the telephone switchboard of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and lied that I was a staff member of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, and the operator was willing to transfer me to the technical department."

"Municipal Science and Technology Commission staff? Hahaha! Liu Gong, you have also learned to lie. ”

"I'm not lying, your operator won't transfer me to your office, no way, the situation is forced, hahaha!"

"Liu Gong, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Nothing else, just make a phone call to congratulate you!"

"Congratulations, congratulations on what?" Fang Hanmin has put the news report behind him.

"Hanmin, are you deliberately keeping a low profile, or are you playing hide and seek with me? The deeds of you and your factory are not only on the front page of Shuangling Daily, but also on radio and television news, isn't it worth congratulating? ”

"You also saw this?"

"The front page of the newspaper, plus the radio and television news, can I not know such a big thing?"

Lao Liu is the first noble person Fang Hanmin has met in his life, Fang Hanmin has always been grateful to him, but he didn't expect that he was still paying attention to himself, and a warm current arose spontaneously from Fang Hanmin's heart, "Liu Gong, thank you!" ”

"Thank me for what? I haven't done anything for you, these achievements are all achieved by your own efforts, as a friend, I am proud of you! ”......
