Section 2 Wine

The welcome banquet was set up in the comprehensive hall on the second floor of the south building of the prefectural party committee guesthouse. There were two tables of people, but the specifications seemed to be quite low. Zhao Guodong and his group followed Director Ma and Secretary Qiu, the prefectural party, and walked towards the south building with laughter. A middle-aged man with a big back and a round belly came over just in time, surrounded by several people.

"Director Ma, long time no see!"

"Haha, Secretary Jiang, it's been more than half a year. I remember the last time you came to the department was when the meeting was held in September last year?" Director Ma took two steps forward and held the other party's fat hand. "I'll have to have a drink with Secretary Jiang today."

"Haha, Director Ma comes to our Ningling. I should have a drink with Director Ma. Secretary Qi went to Hualin for research today and will probably not come back tomorrow. Commissioner Ma is still working in the province and has not come back. Today, I, Lao Jiang, will accompany Director Ma." The man with a big back smiled, "Please!"

All the people followed the two leaders in one after another. Ma Yuan smiled and nodded to several organizations and cadres who were already waiting in the small hall, and asked casually: "Do you still go to get rid of the land and build a city?"

"Oh, who said it was not? All regions are revoking land and building cities. Our Ningling is a little poor, but we have to be ashamed. This is done silently. The above cannot be said, so there is no explanation for the people below."

Dakoutou is Jiang Yunhua, deputy secretary of the Prefectural Committee. From the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Prefectural Committee to the county magistrate of Tong County, the county party secretary, and then to the member of the Prefectural Committee, the organization minister, and finally became the deputy secretary of the party and mass in charge of the prefectural committee. He is a veteran organization and work cadre. When introducing the leadership situation in Ningling, Liu Daoyuan also mentioned him specifically. He and Liu Daoyuan have had more than ten years of friendship and have always had a good relationship. Even after Liu Daoyuan went to Pennsylvania, the two of them still had phone calls.

"Haha, ought, ought, this is a major event that concerns the people of Ningling. It is worth celebrating and celebrating." Ma Yuan agreed with a smile. As he was talking, two more people followed behind him, "Director Ma, I'm late to pick him up, I hope I'll forgive you!"

A slightly sharp voice came in, and the few people behind Ma Yuan stopped tactfully.

"Lao Mu, where have you and Lao Zhou gone? Director Ma and the others have come for a while." Jiang Yunhua frowned and said.

"Haha, Secretary Jiang, there is something happening there. Secretary Zhou and I went to deal with it. Director Ma is both old acquaintances. I will not forgive us for making such a small mistake."

Walking in front was a thin man with small eyes and silver-framed glasses on his nose. A slightly larger suit was worn on him, which really made him look like a monkey-like crown. Then he took a step slower, his face full of smiles, and his fat face was in sharp contrast with the man who was like a monkey-like in front.

Mu Gang, member of Ningling Prefectural Committee and Minister of Organization, immediately came to Zhao Guodong's introduction of Liu Daoyuan. When Liu Daoyuan left the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, this person had just been promoted from the Tucheng County Party Committee Secretary to the position of Organization Minister. Zhao Guodong didn't know much about this person, but thinking about how he could get to the position of Organization Minister of the Prefectural Committee in this way, he would not be able to do without some skills.

The one behind should be Zhou Chunxiu, a member of the Prefectural Committee and secretary-general of the Prefectural Committee, who has a womanly name, but she is a real strong man.

"Minister Mu, you haven't been to my place for a long time. Now you are late. You can do it yourself later. Secretary Jiang, should you say Minister Mu and Secretary Zhou be punished?"

As the deputy director of the Second Department of the Cadre Department of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, Ma Yuan has some impression of the members of the municipal team. Although he may not be very familiar with it, he knows his name, image, their hometown and general employment experience.

"Well, it's time to punish me. Lao Mu, Lao Zhou, today Director Ma brought the most precious wealth to our Ningling area on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. No matter what the big thing is, you can still beat this matter. Everyone will be fined three glasses of wine in a while." Jiang Yunhua waved his hand, "Okay, let's go to the table."

When Jiang Yunhua and Ma Yuanyi took their seats, they naturally sat with them as the center. Mu Gang sat on Jiang Yunhua's left, while Zhou Chunxiu sat on Ma Yuan's right, and Zhao Guodong and the other two spread out along the center.

The deputy secretary-general of status and a deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Prefectural Committee who accompanied him were there, but there was only one position left. Both of them were pushing each other on the surface, but no one was really willing to sit at the table next to him.

Jiang Yunhua immediately noticed this, frowned slightly and ordered the waiter to add another chair, but there were only a few staff members of the prefectural committee office and organization department plus the master at the table. Only five people sat in a very relaxed manner.

After a few loud words, a few glasses of wine were drunk and the atmosphere slowly rose. Zhao Guodong and the other two were considered people from the province, and they were not afraid of such occasions. They had a bit of the smell of soldiers coming to block the water and flooding the soil.

Jiang Yunhua's originally good face soon became gloomy because of the few words Mu Gang said in his ears, but soon returned to normal.

"Secretary Jiang, I haven't had time to introduce the situation of these comrades after having a few glasses of wine. It happened that Secretary Jiang, Minister Mu, and Secretary Zhou were all here, so I grandly pushed out the three of them, hoping that the Ningling Prefectural Committee can arrange their work according to their actual situation." Ma Yuan smiled and looked around, his voice paused before continuing to go down.

"This is Yuan Jianbin, from the Water Conservancy Construction and Management Office of the Provincial Water Resources Department, this is Qu Yunfeng, from the Economic Crops Department of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the youngest is Zhao Guodong, from the Comprehensive Planning Office of the Department of Transportation. The three of them are the best cadres selected by the Provincial Party Committee this time. The Provincial Party Committee also considers that our Anyuan Province is facing a huge development opportunity now, so we specially sent these outstanding cadres down, hoping that they can contribute to the economic development of the Ningling area."

"Today, Secretary Qi and Commissioner Mai are not here. I am here on behalf of Ningling Prefectural Committee. The Administrative Office welcomes three comrades to work in our Ningling." Jiang Yunhua smiled. "The conditions in our Ningling area may be more difficult, but our Ningling has 5.2 million simple and hard-working people, rich natural resources, and we are facing the historical opportunity of the upcoming withdrawal of the territory and building a city. Three young comrades from various departments of the province have joined our Ningling cadre team. I believe we can join hands to make our due contribution to the construction of our new Ningling Mausoleum. Come on, Minister Mu, Secretary Zhou, and two other comrades representing the Prefectural Committee, and the Administrative Office will pay tribute to the three of them!"

Jiang Yunhua stood up, and Mu Gang, Zhou Chunxiu and the others also stood up and picked up the wine glasses.

Zhao Guodong and the other two hurriedly stood up and held up their wine glasses with both hands.

"Done!"

The hot Ningling Daqu swallowed it in one bite. The smell of this strong liquor at a height of 60 degrees was hot and burning the throat. After swallowing it in such a big cup, a hot feeling suddenly spread along the throat.

Once the wine battle begins, it is not something that can stop just by wanting to stop.

Zhao Guodong passively accepted the two accompanying guests in one breath, and then began to fight back, starting with Secretary Jiang, challenging one by one.

Liu Daoyuan and Liu Zhaoguo both reminded him that when you go to the grassroots level, you should pay attention to some details, especially at the dining table. Many leaders like to observe a person through their performance at the dining table, which is the so-called alcoholic food, which is the character. It doesn’t matter if you can’t drink enough, but you have to take out your temperament, not hide it, not be timid, and not step on fake water. Even if you pour three cups down, it at least proves that you are honest enough.

Jiang Yunhua, Mu Gang and Zhou Chunxiu are leaders. Zhao Guodong adheres to the leadership toast by himself at will, and immediately won a trace of favor from the three of them. The other two deputy secretary-generals and deputy ministers drank half of Zhao Guodong toast, and finally worshiped Ma Yuan. After six cups in a circle, he did not change his expression. Seeing that Jiang Yunhua and Ma Yuan and others nodded secretly, they would not suffer any loss even if they were drunk in the county.

Yuan Jianbin has a good alcohol tolerance. He is similar to Zhao Guodong, and he always fights alone. However, he is gentler than Zhao Guodong. Every time he has half a cup, the leaders are casually ambushing the amount. The only pain is Qu Yunfeng. Faced with the performance of Zhao Guodong and Yuan Jianbin, the only thing he can do is to drink three cups in a row to toast all the leaders and colleagues present, and then put the cup on.

Zhao Guodong also admired Qu Yunfeng a little. After these three cups, his face turned pale. After sitting for only three minutes, he could no longer control himself and headed straight to the bathroom.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guodong saw Yuan Jianbin talking happily after drinking. He was having an intriguing conversation with the deputy minister, so he had to go out and help him get it done. After a while, Qu Yunfeng came out of the bathroom, his eyes were covered with blood.

Zhao Guodong sighed, picked up the prepared tea cup and handed it over, and asked him to rinse his mouth.

Why is this? It’s not good at drinking, but in this case, if you don’t show the so-called sincerity and are afraid that your leader will have opinions, you can only sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman.

Seeing Zhao Guodong coming back with Qu Yunfeng, Jiang Yunhua hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqu, is it okay? Come on, put a bowl of noodles to fill your appetite. It seems that Xiaoqu has an average alcohol tolerance. If you can't drink it, don't drink it. Just have this meaning."

Qu Yunfeng also resisted the discomfort in his heart, but nodded silently and sat on the chair without saying a word, afraid that when he spoke, the burning smell of burning in his stomach would burst out again.

Just in the few minutes Zhao Guodong accompanied Qu Yunfeng out, Yuan Jianbin had become a sensational figure on the table. He opened the way with two glasses of wine. Starting from Jiang Yunhua, he challenged continuously, forcing everyone, including Ma Yuan, to praise each other. Each toast was two glasses of wine and one sip, while the other party was casual, forcing Jiang Yunhua and others to raise their glasses and drink them all together.
