Chapter 44: Inquiry into Reality and Fiction
"Who?" Lin Zongming and Zuo Yugui asked in unison.
"It must be Qian Shumin, he didn't run, it must be him!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zongming and Zuo Yugui looked at each other and smiled, and Zuo Yugui said, "I didn't say anything, come, let's drink." He was the first to raise his glass.
Zuo Yugui's clever move stopped the topic at the right time.
Lin Zongming knew it, and followed his wishes, and only drank and didn't talk about anything else.
After drinking for a while, Zheng Sanxi was drunk.
Speaking with a bad mouth, he shook his head, stared at his blood-red eyes, and said angrily: "Damn, the surname Qian is behind my relatives, don't force Lao Tzu to be anxious, when the fish dies and the net is broken, no one will end well." ”
Hearing it, Zheng Sanxi seems to have something to say.
Lin Zongming picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Zheng Sanxi, and kindly persuaded, "Brother Sanxi, don't talk angry, Director Qian is a township leader, and his arms can't twist his thighs, so we still have to eat on other people's turf, in case of offense, hand you a pair of small shoes, to wear or not to wear?" ”
"Humph!" Zheng Sanxi sneered: "The surname Qian is a fart, he is the head of Tianxiang, and Lao Tzu is not afraid." ”
"Shh Lin Zongming looked around nervously, and persuaded in a low voice: "Beware that the wall has ears, don't say anything, drink." ”
The more he said this, the more unconvinced Zheng Sanxi became, and shouted at the top of his voice, "I'm not afraid, Tian Zhibin's little trick, I, Zheng Sanxi, know very well." ”
He said: "20,000 yuan wants to seal my mouth, I want to be beautiful!" ”
Before he finished speaking, he staggered, tilted his body, and snored on the table.
"Three joys." Zuo Yugui pushed Zheng Sanxi worriedly, but there was no response, and he slept very deeply.
"This guy knows how to sleep after drinking too much, and he can't wake him up for a while."
Lin Zongming has a deep experience of this, Zheng Sanxi worked the night shift last night, no matter how he called, he couldn't open the door, the phone was about to smoke, and he didn't wake up.
Otherwise, a series of fancy things would not have happened.
I don't know if I thank him or scold him.
"Yes." Zuo Yugui said: "He drank too much, let's drink." ”
And proposed, "Xiaolin, I respect you and thank your subordinates for their mercy." ”
"Brother Zuo is polite, where is it, it's a coincidence." Lin Zongming and Zuo Yugui's cups touched each other, and with the sound of jingling, they drank it all at the same time.
Needless to say, everything is in plain sight.
As the two got acquainted, Lin Zongming did not shy away from chatting about Zuo Yugui's retirement.
Zuo Yugui sighed for a long time, "I am dissatisfied with the old brother, you said, I think I also had great ideals and ambitions, and I wanted to work hard in the township government and make some achievements." Just ......"
He shook his head helplessly, drank a glass of wine to himself, and then said: "Wanlin Township has been hovering at the bottom of the township over the years, the economy can't get up, and the people are having a hard time. ”
"In order to support their families, how many people go to other places to work. But where there is a place in the township for everyone to eat, who wants to leave their hometown. ”
"I'm soft-spoken, just a stinky driver, what's the use of me having ideas? Who listens to me. ”
"It's good to have this thing." Zuo Yugui fiddled with the wine glass and said meaningfully: "After work, a few people sit together to play cards, and then find a place to drink some wine, wine and fun, it is much better than people who can't eat, I am quite satisfied." ”
When it came to playing cards, Lin Zongming happened to have something to ask him, "Brother Zuo, Brother Sanxi often plays cards, and I heard that I lost eight times out of ten times." ”
Zuo Yugui laughed and corrected, "You really lifted him, said less, it's not that you lost eight times, it's almost the same as losing nine times." ”
"Oh." Lin Zongming pretended to understand and said: "It seems that Brother Sanxi's family is quite rich, but if it were me, I would have to sell my kidney to play." ”
"Xiaolin, it's not good to say strange things behind people's backs."
Lin Zongming pointed to Zheng Sanxi, who was lying on the table, and said, "We don't pay attention to people behind our backs, no, he's here." ”
"But too." Zuo Yugui lit a cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke, "Zheng Sanxi's family conditions are average, his wife left with the child a few years ago, and he is left alone." ”
"With his salary, he will lose in less than ten days. I also wondered, this guy has been very generous lately, and he must have other ways to make money, but we don't know. ”
didn't hear the news he wanted from Zuo Yugui, Lin Zongming was not discouraged.
Anyway, he didn't come in vain tonight, at least he was one step closer to Zuo Yugui.
And from Zuo Yugui's speech and demeanor, Lin Zongming clearly felt that Zuo Yugui was a good person, decent and upright.
It's a pity that the current state is not at the right time, which consumes his mind and the edges and corners of his career pursuit, and he lives in a mess.
As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, with the existing political ecology of Wanlin Township, ambition is also utopian.
I hope that the arrival of Wu Jinchuan can change all this.
At work the next day, Zhao Qiang had a cold face and regarded Lin Zongming as an enemy.
On the other hand, Lin Zongming didn't think so, his mentality was super good, and he always had a smile on his face.
But before this kind of laughter lasted ten minutes, he was called by Qian Shumin and reprimanded with a face.
"Lin Zongming, what's the matter with you, don't you take my words as a deaf ear!"
"Director Qian, I don't understand what you mean."
"Pack me less!" Qian Shumin's eyes stood up, as if he was about to open his mouth and swallow Lin Zongming in one gulp.
"I asked you to arrange for Lao Zhang to be hospitalized, how did you do it? They even sent him home. There is such a big hole in the head, and there are three stitches, in case there are three long and two short, can you afford to take responsibility! ”
Lin Zongming responded unhurriedly: "Director, Master Zhang strongly asked to go home, and the health center also did an examination, it was a slight concussion, and there was no major problem." ”
"I saw that it was too late, and I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't ask you for instructions, and sent him back according to Master Zhang's request."
Qian Shumin slapped the table, "Don't quibble." The township health center is full of barefoot doctors, who can't understand a headache and brain fever, and expect them to have superb medical skills. ”
"Won't you send Lao Zhang to the county hospital? I can't understand such a trivial matter, I'm so disappointed in you. ”
He waved his hand impatiently at Lin Zongming, "You go out." ”
Lin Zongming walked out of the director's office, just in time to see Zhao Qiang whistling, twisting his hands in his pockets, pouting his lips in a daze, and then nodded and knocked on the door of Qian Shumin's office.
Half an hour later, Lin Zongming learned that Zhao Qiang called an ambulance from the county hospital and personally escorted Lao Zhang to the county hospital.
It is likely that Qian Shumin handed over this errand to Zhao Qiang, and this guy's snot bubbles are estimated to have long since drifted into a heavenly girl.
Lin Zongming didn't think so, and took advantage of the lunch break to go to the township police station and knock on the door of Wang Yan's office.
