Chapter 44: The Reception Banquet (3)
He saw one of Wang Shulan's hands, pressed on Tao Ping's crotch, clutching something tightly.
Li Ji thought that he was dazzled and saw it wrong; Concentrate and look carefully.
That's right, it's Wang Shulan's hand!
It's the crotch of Tao Yuki's pants! That towering mass.
For a moment, Li Ji's mind seemed to be much clearer. He gasped a few times, his heart pounding.
He slowly lifted his head to the table.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, and no one paid special attention to him.
Li Ji took a sip of hot tea and felt better.
He rested his elbows on the table, his hands cupped his face, and peeked between his fingers.
Tao Ping and Wang Shulan were talking and laughing with each other, as if nothing had happened.
Just listen to Tao Ping said:
“...... My husband is going on a business trip for half a year. Before leaving, the wife affectionately handed her husband a pack of condoms and said, "If you can't help it outside, remember to bring a condom." When the husband heard this, he said excitedly, "The family is not rich, so let's use theirs......"
"Hahaha!" Wang Shulan leaned back with a smile, and couldn't help but beat Tao Ping's chest with her fist, "Old leader, you are laughing at me...... Hahaha......"
Tao Ping sat upright with a serious face; But after a while, he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to laugh.
Wang Shulan stepped forward and leaned in, her mouth almost touching Tao Ping's face.
Her hand silently reached under the table, pinched Taupin's thigh, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Dead ghost ......"
Tao Ping's body trembled, grabbed Wang Shulan's hand, and pressed it against the crotch of his pants.
Wang Shulan's breathing became heavy, her lips were pressed against Tao Ping's ears, and her face was red as if she was about to drip blood, "My family's waste hasn't come back yet, ...... tonight"
Tao Ping nodded slightly, straightened his face, took the wine glass, and shouted at Li Ji: "Xiao Li, come!" Let's have another drink! ”
When Li Ji heard Tao Ping call his name, he hurriedly removed his hand and opened his eyes with difficulty: "Come on!" President Tao, let's drink! ”
Before he could stand up, Li Ji's body shook and his arm swept the wine glass down. Thanks to the waitress next to her, she was quick and took the wine glass in her arms.
"You see, Xiao Li drank a little too much......" Wang Shulan laughed.
"Not much,...... Not much...... Me, I can still drink...... Drinking with the leader, how can you ...... more"
Li Ji muttered in his mouth, grabbed the wine glass on the table that he didn't know who it was, his hand trembled, and raised it to his mouth.
The glass was tilted, and most of the wine inside was spilled.
Li Ji's body was weak, lying on the table, retching again and again.
Tao Ping smiled and put down his glass.
But after only a while, Li Ji couldn't help it; He rushed into the bathroom and threw up all at once.
Li Ji squatted on the ground, pressed the toilet with both hands, calmed down, felt much more comfortable, and his head was not so dizzy.
He washed his face twice with cold water, leaned against the door and rested for a moment before returning to his room.
I asked the waiter for a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.
Looking at the watch, it was almost ten o'clock.
Over there, Chen Donglin and a few people were drunk. It seemed that he didn't have enough fun, and he made a fist; The shouting and drinking are very lively.
Tao Ping and Wang Shulan didn't know what they were talking about, and their heads almost touched each other. Wang Shulan let out a girlish laugh from time to time.
Li Ji squinted and leaned back in his chair, looking drowsy. In fact, he did drink too much, and he was drunk and hazy.
At this time, the phone in the bag vibrate.
Li Ji thought, this must be Liao Ying who is not at ease, so she called to ask.
I took out my phone and looked at it, but it was Wan Daming.
Li Ji hurriedly stood up, pulled out his chair, and walked to the corridor outside.
"The problem of trading companies may be bigger......"
Wan Daming didn't talk nonsense, got straight to the point, and went straight to the point.
Li Ji couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked around.
Although it was very late, there were still a lot of people coming and going on the aisle. In addition to the waiters who were busy back and forth, some of them looked like they had just arrived.
Li Ji heard that there is a nightclub in Haitian Hotel, which is said to be second to none in Fengcheng and is very famous. Many of them may have come for this.
From time to time, people passed by, their footsteps were chaotic, and people were constantly talking. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Li Ji held his mobile phone in one hand, walked quickly to the hall, and found a secluded corner where no one was around.
“...... A large part of the account books were burned, and the backup of computer data was relatively complete, basically all of them...... However, it seems that it is all normal business, and I don't see any problems for the time being......"
Li Ji pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
“...... If there is anything wrong, it is that trading companies often import computers and electronic equipment from abroad, and each time the amount is very large......" Wan Daming groaned, "But the group concentrated and purchased these things in large quantities, or when the group was preparing to go public and upgrade the accounting information system, but it had been five or six years......
"In recent years, the group has also had a demand for computers and electronic equipment, but the quantity is not large, basically by the purchasing department directly from domestic manufacturers, never entrusted to a trading company......
"Why do trading companies import computers and electronic equipment on such a large scale? These things are not used by the group, so where did they go? ......”
Wan Daming seemed to be full of questions.
Li Ji suddenly remembered that when he looked at Haitianda's account statement, there was a record of payment to Marriott Trading Company, and the purpose of the money was to pay for computers and electronic equipment.
Could it be that all the computers and electronic equipment imported by Marriott Trading Company were given to Haitianda?
But why is there no such a large amount of corresponding electronic and electronic equipment payments in Haitianda's sales revenue?
What's so funny about this?
"Smuggling?!"
These two words suddenly jumped into Li Ji's mind, and he couldn't help but be startled.
No way.
It's simply impossible.
Smuggling is a violation of the criminal law, and the liability for the crime is greater. Wancheng no longer has brains, and he won't do such a terrible thing.
That's not as simple as a year or two. It's not good, if you don't lose your head, I'm afraid you will have to sit through the bottom of the prison in this life.
"Also, that Assistant Xiao is also a little strange......"
Li Jizheng was thinking about it, and Wan Daming suddenly changed the topic.
“...... Well done, quit suddenly, and then disappeared......"
"Missing?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Well," Wan Daming muttered, "at that time, she told the people in the human resources department whether she wanted to go back to her hometown, get married or work...... But not long ago, I asked someone to go to her according to the home address she had filled in when she joined the company; Not only was no one found, but even the address was fake......"
"Huh?" Li Ji was stunned.
Speaking of this, Wan Daming paused and let out a few wry smiles: "That place turned out to be a slaughterhouse......
Depend on! Is this Assistant Xiao's family a pig killer?
Li Ji shook his head.
"Your sister-in-law told me that this Assistant Xiao hooked up with Wan Cheng, and I couldn't tell ......" Wan Daming hesitated for a moment and continued, "...... I don't know if it's true or not...... Don't want to know either......
"Well, we old fellows don't know anything about you young people...... Wan Cheng and Zhu Hui...... Hey, these two kids......"
Wan Daming's voice choked, and Li Ji heard the sound of sniffing.
He felt sad for a while, but his head sank after drinking, and he couldn't think of suitable words to comfort the old man in his eagerness.
“...... However, Wan Cheng has done a lot of things, and he has this Xiao assistant. I heard that the people in the trading company called her 'boss lady' behind their backs......"
Although it can't be said that "red face and troubled water"; But "since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass", it should be good.
Think about Wu Wangfucha, Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms, and Wu Sangui of the Qing Dynasty, which one was not defeated under a woman's pomegranate skirt.
Wan Cheng also "just made the mistake that all men in the world will make", that's it.
"Uncle Wan, are you looking for this Assistant Xiao?"
"I don't have to find her...... Wan Daming paused, thinking about it, "It's just a matter of a trading company, I think this Assistant Xiao may know a lot of inside information......
Li Ji bit his lip and frowned.
He had a vague feeling in his heart.
Li Ji felt more and more that behind this Marriott trading company, there must be something that is unknown, unwilling to be known, and difficult to know.
"The financing department and the finance department have roughly calculated that the trading company may still have at least 80 million funds that have not been returned to the group; But now it has no money on its account......
"But fortunately, the current financial constraints of the group have been greatly alleviated; That 100 million loan, as long as you want, I can give you this month......
"From this month to the beginning of next month, the group will have at least more than 400 million funds; I don't have to go around begging grandpa to tell grandma anymore, like a flower child......"
In Wan Daming's voice, there was finally a hint of joy.
"But, with such a large sum of money, where did the trading company get it?"
Wan Daming suddenly raised his voice.
"Also, Wancheng's ...... of death"
Wan Daming stopped, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard through the earpiece.
Li Ji's heart tightened suddenly.
“...... I think...... I don't think it's as simple as depression......"
Li Ji was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. Looking back, it turned out that Fang Yuan had found it.
"Uncle Wan, I'm eating out, it's not very convenient now," Li Ji lowered his voice, "They came out to call me, I'll call you again when I get back......"
"It's okay, there's no need to call...... Wan Daming's voice was hoarse somehow, "Uncle is just panicking in his heart, and he wants to find someone caring to talk to......"
Li Ji's eyes were hot and silent.
There were a few heavy sighs from the earpiece, followed by a busy "doo-doo" sound.
"Governor Li, why did you come here?"
Fang Yuan had already seen Li Ji, his feet were unstable, and he staggered over.
"Me, I answered the phone......"
Li Ji put away his phone and smiled.
"Hurry back, President Tao is still waiting for you to go back and drink!"
Fang Yuan held Li Ji's shoulder, his snort was heavy, his mouth was full of wine, and even his eyes were red.
"Still drinking!"
Li Ji's eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.
Fang Yuan didn't answer, he just grabbed Li Ji's arm and pulled it back.
Li Ji hurriedly broke free, put one hand on Fang Yuan's shoulder, and the two returned to the room together.
The fog drifted from the private room, and the smell of smoke was choking everywhere.
"Xiao Li, come! Let's have another drink! ”
Tao Ping saw Li Ji come in, and before he could sit down, he took his hand off the back of Wang Shulan's chair and picked up the wine glass.
Li Ji was helpless and couldn't refuse; I had to stand up, grin, and pick up my glass.
Fortunately, this time it was a small cup; Moreover, only two were drunk.
Tao Ping obviously didn't look as cold as he did at the beginning, he was kind to Li Ji and affectionate, and seemed to have returned to the previous time.
But Li Ji knew in his heart that he would never go back to the past.
Because, between them, there is no longer "once upon a time".
Li Ji put down the wine glass, sat down and was about to take a breath, but saw Chen Donglin walking over with a wine glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.
"Governor Li, haven't we drunk the wine yet?"
Chen Donglin's face was red and his ears were red, and the smell of wine was smoky.
"Huh?" Li Ji's head immediately grew, "President Chen, haven't we drunk several rounds?" ”
"Well, that doesn't count!"
Chen Donglin's head shook like a rattle, and the spit star defused the bomb and sprayed it on Li Ji's face.
"Doesn't count?!"
Li Ji's head was full of question marks.
"That's right!"
Chen Donglin put the wine bottle on the table and almost fell over.
Li Ji hurriedly reached out to hold him. But I didn't expect that I had drunk too much, there was no root under my feet, my body shook, and I subconsciously hugged Chen Donglin.
Chen Donglin's head was tilted, and a hot mouth stretched straight towards Li Ji's face.
A smell of stinking wine rushed to my nose.
Li Ji was nauseated for a while, and almost didn't throw up; So he quickly let go and threw himself on the chair.
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter.
"Governor Chen, this is going to be intimate with Governor Li! ......”
"Haha!"
"Together! Together! ”
I don't know who shouted, and the laughter was louder.
Li Ji only felt embarrassed and a little embarrassed.
In front of everyone, it was inconvenient, so he had to raise his glass: "Come, President Chen!" You say drink a few! ”
"It's still Governor Li's pleasure!"
Someone slapped his face.
Chen Donglin's face was righteous and awe-inspiring: "President Li, let's make it clear......"
"Say it!"
Li Ji glanced at Chen Donglin.
“...... Those drinks that I drank before, yes, welcome, welcome wine,...... You are a guest ......"
Chen Donglin shook his head, his tongue was big.
“...... Now, you, you're already a city ...... ...... of the Chengdong Branch people too; Let's be a comrade in the trenches,...... Now, I'm drinking a ...... now."
Chen Donglin was out of breath and coughed a few times in succession.
Li Ji was speechless.
Big brother, I don't support the wall, I only serve you.
He remembered the joke they had said.
There are five stages of drinking: the virgin stage, which is strictly guarded and guarded; The young woman stage, half push and half half; In the prime of life, all are not enough; Widow stage, I came to fight with you; The old lady stage, if it doesn't work, it's still flickering.
This Chen Donglin has reached the "widow stage", he is very hungry and thirsty, and he is dying.
At this moment, Li Ji's stubbornness also came up.
He didn't say a word. Chen Donglin poured wine, and he drank it as soon as he picked it up. One in one go, I didn't even eat a bite of food.
After drinking eight glasses of wine, Chen Donglin fell down first. Falling headlong on the table, no one can drag it up.
Li Jiqiang supported himself.
But when the eight wine glasses went down, the stomach that had just felt better burned again at the moment.
It was still Tao Ping who played the round.
He glanced at everyone, and then looked at Wang Shulan: "I see it's almost there, or would it be like this today?" ”
Wang Shulan nodded: "Okay, then let's go here." ”
Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his bag.
He turned around, pulled out his chair, and just stepped out, but heard Wang Shulan say, "Don't be in a hurry to go, tonight's show hasn't started yet!" ”
And the show?
Li Ji stopped.
