He knew it was one of the most spacious and luxurious East-meets-West restaurants at NUS, with a large rotating round table that could seat 25 diners. Warm NSXS.

When it was time to get off work tomorrow afternoon, the city sent a Coaster minibus to sit on Lao Mai, Lao Lan, Director Tan and the deputy director of the political office surnamed Ling, who was dedicated to Lao Mai, as well as several relevant middle-level cadres, a group of about ten people, and went to the battlefield of the National University.

In the face of the sudden cold wave and cold wind in the past few days, the bus turned off the overpass and drove to the upper ring of the fast lane, which was quite a bit of a tragic scene of "the wind is sluggish and the wine is cold, and the drinkers are gone".

Soon, the minibus drove to the lobby of the International Hotel by the East Lake, and everyone got off the bus.

The deputy director of the political office surnamed Ling circled around Lao Mai at the beginning of the car, he was Lao Mai's official arrival in the port, and the political office division of labor followed the deputy position of the political office to contact Lao Mai, known as Lao Mai's secretary, and the little girl in the reception office who often sent documents to help run errands was called Lao Mai's little secretary.

In the London hall where the banquet was set up, there was already an elegant lady in charge of the reception of the political office, and I saw that she took Lao Mai's briefcase very elegantly and politely, and pulled the main chair to invite the leader to take a seat.

Lao Mai had just sat down, and suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing outside the door of the restaurant, and hurriedly stood up and chased after him, shouting: "Xiao Bi, Section Chief Bi!"

I saw that the man stopped at the door of another luxurious restaurant diagonally opposite, and turned around, it was Xiao Bi, the former old colleague of the Industrial Department of the Municipal Development and Planning Commission.

Lao Mai laughed and stepped forward to hold Xiao Bi's right hand, and asked, "Bike, who invited you tonight?"

Xiao Bi smiled: "District Chief Mai, you are a division-level leader, so call me Xiao Bi like before." ”

Old Mai Da haha: "That's different, you're a city leader, hey, what's here?"

Xiao Bi said with a smile: "For the sake of the increase in the industrial index of the scale of the mouth next year, the mayor and the executive of the new city invited our executive committee to dinner. ”

Lao Mai asked puzzledly: "Shouldn't we go to the Municipal Economic Commission for this industrial index?"

Xiao Bi said: "The Economic Commission they formally looked for earlier, the matter is a bit hanging, don't you look for our executive director to come through the back door, oh, you may not know that the new executive deputy director of the committee has just been transferred from the Economic Commission, and he will retire from the promotion of treatment." ”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a loud voice from inside the door: "Is it wheat outside, Megard?!"

Lao Mai felt very familiar when he heard the voice, and hurriedly stretched out his head to look in the door, and found that it was the old leader and old acquaintance of the past, the deputy director surnamed Zheng who transferred him from a state-owned enterprise to the Economic Commission.

This deputy director Zheng was not yet 40 years old at the time, and not long after he was promoted to the deputy post of the Economic Commission, he was in the prime of his life and full of vigor, but now at a glance, he has gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a drooping old age.

Lao Mai walked in quickly, while remembering the old things of the Economic Commission in the past, the director of the year was surnamed Fu, and the wonderful legend of "Director Fu Zheng and Deputy Director Zheng" has been circulating in private within the Economic Commission.

The current executive director of the Development and Planning Commission, Zheng Zheng, had already stood up, and as soon as Lao Mai arrived, he reached out and held his right hand tightly, and patted his strong right arm with his left hand.

The two of them laughed and exchanged a few words of greeting loudly, and Executive Director Zheng asked casually: "Wheat, haven't you been back to the factory recently?"

Lao Mai suddenly remembered that this Executive Director Zheng was also promoted to the Municipal Economic Commission when he was the deputy director of that state-owned enterprise, and said embarrassedly: "I haven't been back for many years, I heard that the bankruptcy procedure was carried out two years ago, the land was sold, and the dormitory area was assigned to the community management?"

"It's not," Executive Director Zheng said solemnly and emotionally, "how prosperous the business was back then, those products, customers were lined up to order, and after more than ten years, it has declined to such a point, and it has made people." ”

Old Mai nodded silently, staring at Zheng Changchang's gray hair and premature aging face, and comforted him a little against his will: "Director Zheng, you are still so energetic and refreshed. ”

"Ahaha, don't comfort me, wheat, I know, time is like a knife to kill pigs," Zheng Changchang couldn't help laughing, and a new word on the Internet suddenly came behind him, which made Lao Mai laugh.

Zheng Changchang restrained his smile a little and said something inexplicable: "Recently, I met Lao Yu, who was very close to you before, once, and he seems to have some opinions about you. ”

"Lao Yu?" Lao Mai's mind turned, and he suddenly remembered who was coming, and he naturally couldn't forget the past of calculating the continuous length of service, "Oh, it's the head of the personnel department in the factory, how is he doing?"

Zheng Chang said with a smile: "After the bankruptcy procedure in the factory, he will retire, his wife Mr. Li will also retire, and his daughter will graduate from college and join the work, there is no burden, this old guy is walking birds in a cage and spending his old age in peace." ”

When it comes to Section Chief Yu's wife and daughter, Lao Mai's eyes immediately appear as a white and delicate female teacher wearing gold-rimmed thin-framed glasses and a little Lori with pigtails who has just entered elementary school.

At this time, outside the door of the restaurant, someone shouted Lao Mai, and when he saw that the person outside was the deputy director surnamed Ling, he made a gesture to say that the guests of the land tax had come downstairs.

Zheng Changchang also noticed that someone came to call Lao Mai, so he said: "You have to go ahead of time, remember to take the time to go back to the factory to see Lao Yu." ”

"Hey," Lao Mai agreed, shook hands with Zheng Chang, and returned to his restaurant.

He had just entered the door and stood with Lao Lan, who was waiting in the middle hall, when he saw Director Tan smiling outside the door, leading five or six men and women into the restaurant.

A short and dumpty man in the lead, Lao Mai was shocked when he saw it, why are you so much like Ma Ji, a big name in domestic cross talk.

I saw Director Tan stand down and introduce them to each other: "This is the Horse Bureau of the Local Taxation Bureau, and this is the Wheat District of the Urban District Government." ”

Lao Mai couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and said secretly: "Are you really surnamed Ma, five hundred years ago it was a family, no wonder you look so similar." ”

The remaining members of the local taxation sub-bureau have two male deputy directors, a female bureau director, and two relevant male and female section chiefs.

Lao Mai naturally sat back in the main seat he had just sat on, and the guest seat on the left was the seat of Director Ma of the Local Taxation Bureau.

Lao Mai politely apologized on behalf of Liu District and the executive who should have come to receive the VIPs, they unfortunately pulled it to the city leaders, you know at the end of the year, and introduced himself as the deputy head of the district is also in charge of the city's financial work, and being the host to entertain VIPs is not arrogant, and the other party is only at the deputy department level.

In fact, he is only in charge of economic planning and project approval, and has nothing to do with finance and taxation.

Director Ma smiled indifferently and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's also a good thing to know Mai District today, looking at Mai District's strong body, there is no doubt that there must be a lot of drinking, and I will have to toast a few more glasses in a while." ”

Lao Mai couldn't help but secretly scolded Liu Ou and the executive for throwing a dead cat to himself, and on the surface, he smiled and groaned: "How can this be done, it should be me to respect the horse bureau, and the horse bureau will have mercy under the cup for a while." ”

Ma Ju laughed and said: "Where is it, it's easy to say and say, it's easy to say." ”

For a while, all the main guests arrived, and the restaurant served a variety of pre-ordered dishes, worthy of a five-star hotel, and the restaurant service was first-class.

In less than a while, there were more than a dozen kinds of dishes, seeing that the color and fragrance were very high-end, plus a box of 16 bottles of 52-degree high-quality aged Moutai, this table of wine and dishes is estimated to be no less than 10,000 yuan.

In the politeness of both sides, the wine has passed three rounds, the dishes are more than five flavors, everyone toasted each other, when everyone who dared to stand up and toast after a round, Lao Mai observed that he put down his chopsticks one by one, looked at himself and Director Tan, and thought, why are you playing meat.

I saw Director Tan and Lao Mai glance at each other, picked up the delicate and small white wine glass, smiled, and said to Director Ma who was sitting on the right hand: "Ma Bureau, I will toast you again, you can help us more to complete the task in our urban area." ”

Director Nama laughed, raised his glass and touched the rim of the cup with Director Tan, drank it all, and then lit the bottom of the cup with Director Tan.

I only heard Director Ma's very bold voice and said: "Don't say anything else, the old rule, 50,000 yuan a cup." ”

As soon as Lao Mai heard that this was expected, he invited guests to treat them, and gave gifts to gifts, the rules could not be changed, and then looked at the liquor glasses on the table that could hold five dollars of wine, and one pound of high-quality aged Moutai wine could be filled with 20 glasses, and a glass of 50,000 yuan was 15 bottles of wine filled with 300 glasses.

"You will have to drink three hundred cups," at this moment, Lao Mai felt that he was about to become a poet and immortal Li Bai.

The box of 16 bottles of 52-degree high-quality aged Moutai under the big round table has already drunk a few bottles at this time, but it doesn't matter, Lao Lan also brought some single bottles of identical Moutai with him, and it is a matter of minutes to make up enough for 300 cups, and whether he can drink it is another matter.

Everyone in the city area present in the venue became nervous, to see who would drink the three hundred glasses of wine, and they also knew that it was impossible for one person to drink it, so Director Ma didn't matter who came to drink, as long as it was a cadre and worker in the central district of the city, he would promise to cross the ocean with 50,000 yuan after drinking one glass.

Director Ma thought to himself, 15 million is not good, it is not acceptable, it is impossible to give it, it will affect his good start in the coming year, and if he can drink 5 million to see the momentum, it will be considered a top.

As a result, more than a dozen cadres and workers in the urban area, including the deputy director surnamed Ling and Ms. Elegance, all of them moved forward bravely, drinking seven or eight cups at the least, and drinking more than ten or twenty cups, and after this lap, they drank nearly 100 cups.

Director Ma nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "My habitual estimation is very correct, that's all,"

Then he found that the old god was sitting next to him, and Lao Mai had not yet drunk this wine, so he smiled and said: "Mai District, the huge amount of you, the leader of the city, has not yet been revealed." ”

Director Nama estimated that at this round of wine table, everyone from the city drank a total of nearly 90 glasses, and this wheat district finally drank ten cups and eight glasses, well, at most ten or so cups, and it was basically time to call it a day.

Lao Mai looked at the comrades in the city who were eating and drinking, and asked, "Which of you can continue to drink?"
