Chapter 79: Toasts and Challenges at the Wine Table
more, he could afford to not stand it anymore now. 。He did not accept Yuan Bing's toast, but instead slammed the teacup onto the table and said, "Chief Yuan, this matter is not a mistake by my contac...This waiter was also specifically arranged by Wang Guilong. Today, he listened to Cai Shaohua's command. 。Cai Shao Hua gave a glance, and the waiter immediately picked up that bottle of wine without herbal juice and poured it for everyone. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Song Shu Ji, I came by motorcycle today, so I won't be drinking." 。Xiao Zheng really didn't want to drink with Song Guoming, Wang Guilong and the others. 。
Vice Chairman Sun Yucai said, "Xiao Weiye, you are the star of the show today." 。The Song Shu told me frankly that he hadn't really cared for you before, so this time he specially arranged this dinner to celebrate your promotion as the Xiao Commissioner. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Song Guoming, "This doesn't sound like something Song Guoming would say." 。But Song Guoming readily admitted, "That's right" 。Today's meal is to celebrate Xiao Commissioner. Now our class has such a young and talented leader like Xiao Commissioner, and our work will be much easier in the future. 。< Mr. Xiao, you can park your motorcycle here. I'll have the driver take you back later. As for this wine, we should drink it. It wouldn't be festive without it. > 。"Sun Yucai also continued to persuade him: "Yes, Commissioner Xiao, if you don't drink, we won't either. " 。"Others agreed, "Even Xiao WeiYe, the protagonist, isn't drinking, so we can't drink either." 。Thus, everyone can't drink anymore, it all became Xiao Zheng's fault. 。Given this situation, there's no way out of drinking. 。Before, Xiao Zheng came to have dinner, which showed face to Song Guoming. But now if he didn't drink, it seemed like he was rejecting Song Guoming’s face, so coming to dinner would have been for nothing. 。
People in a bar are so out of control. If you give someone face, you have to keep giving them face.
Xiao Zheng then said, "Then I'll have a little." 。However, I have a limited tolerance for alcohol and can only drink a little. 。"Wan Guilong said: 'Waiter, what are you waiting for Bring the drinks quickly!'" 。The waiter picked up the bottle of liquor that hadn't been mixed with herbal juice, poured each person a glass, and then started preparing small shot glasses for them. 。At this time, Song Guoming stood up and said: "We're starting now. Today, the first toast is to celebrate Comrade Xiao, and the second is to welcome Tao Fang to work in our town. After drinking this glass of wine, we are all our own people." 。"
This sentence undoubtedly shows signs of forming cliques." 。And as for "one's own people", Xiao Zheng would absolutely never consider himself one of them. 。... it's because of recent events. Lin Yqiang is Song Guoming's nephew, and Wang Fuyu is the biological son of Wang Guilong. These two men have repeatedly violated women and run rampant in town. Before Xiao Zheng injured them, both Song Guoming and Wang Guilong turned a blind eye and even protected them... 。How could Xiao Zheng possibly become "one of them" with this kind of person
Besides, Xiao Zheng was almost unable to get out of the county Public Security Bureau because of Song Guoming and Qin Peiming's help. 。Xiāo Zhēng's appearance at this banquet today was because he hadn't yet had the strength to eliminate them all at once. He was here as a delaying tactic. 。So, this so-called "own person," Xiao Zheng is absolutely not going to recognize. 。But at this moment everyone had already stood up, and Xiao Zheng couldn't say in public that he wasn't one of "their own". So he pretended not to understand the sentence, and like everyone else, took a sip of wine. 。Song Guoming and everyone else finished their drinks, seeing that Xiao Zheng still had half a cup left, Cai Shaohua shouted: "Why hasn't Commissioner Xiao finished his drink We all drank it in one gulp!" Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Zheng. Even Tao Fang, after having a glass of wine, seemed excited and shouted at Xiao Zheng: "Commissioner Xiao, drink it!" 。"Advisor Xiao, quickly drink it up!"
Seeing the situation, Xiao Zheng knew he couldn't refuse, so he drained the remaining half of the wine in one gulp. 。Tao Fang clapped her hands there, and only then did the others sit down. 。The next part will be toasting and drinking together. 。Apart from Xiao Zheng, almost everyone vied to toast Song Guoming. 。After going around for several rounds, Song Guoming had already drunk quite a few cups of wine. The other people at the wine shop stood up and were toasting each other. 。Although Xiao Zheng never took the initiative to toast others, many people came to toast him. They usually drank it all down, but when they toasted Xiao Zheng, he persisted in not drinking, only making a symbolic gesture. 。In his mind, he kept replaying the mayor Guan Wenwei's words, "Wine must be controlled." 。So, he absolutely refused to drink more. 。After each sip of liquor, he would follow it with a gulp of mineral water, using it to dilute the alcohol and keep himself from getting too drunk. 。The banquet was still in full swing. 。While others were raising their glasses, clinking and chatting, Xiao Zheng, who was sitting in a chair, felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around to see Song Guoming, Wang Guilong, and that unfamiliar woman standing beside him, all with wine glasses in hand. 。After all, Song Guoming is the Party Secretary of the town committee, so Xiao Zheng also stood up. 。Song Guoming said: "Mr. Xiao, my colleague Wang and I, along with Xiaofeng, have come to toast you." 。Hearing the name "Xiao Feng," Xiao Zheng immediately guessed that this woman should be "Lin Xiaofeng," also known as Lin Yiqiang's mother. 。Xiao Zheng really didn't expect that this woman was so well-maintained! She looked to be in her early forties, but in fact, she should have been past that age. 。。Wang Guilong and Lin Xiaofeng raised their glasses and touched them to Xiao Zheng's. Wang Guilong didn't drink right away, but instead said: "Commissioner Xiao, I want to say something. There were many misunderstandings before, and I hope this glass of wine will erase all of them." 。“Misunderstanding Xiao Zheng said, “I don't think there’s any misunderstanding.” 。"Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu assaulting women is a misunderstanding He almost got ruined by the county Public Security Bureau, is that a misunderstanding
Song Guoming said to Wang Guilong: “Guilong, Commissioner Xiao is also a straightforward person. Let's just cut to the chase and get straight to the point." 。"That's fine" 。"Wang Guilong nodded towards Song Guo Ming, then looked at Xiao Zheng and said: “Commissioner Xiao, the nephew of the Secretary of Songshu and my son have offended you many times, but they were also kicked infertile by you. Now that you are a good leader, they are going to jail, this is too unfair.” 。What do you think about this We drink this cup of wine, and from now on we're all friends. 。Commissioner Xiao, could you please help us explain to the prosecutor's office that there was a misunderstanding before As long as Commissioner Xiao loosens his stance, we will naturally handle the rest. 。Of course, we wouldn't let Commissioner Xiao do this for nothing. 。As a token of gratitude, I, Wang Guilong, promise to transfer 5% of the mine's shares to Mr. Xiao's father's name. 。With a flirtatious air, Lin Xiaofeng also moved closer to Xiao Zheng, lightly touching his cup with hers and saying: “I won’t let Commissioner Xiao work hard for nothing either. I promise that from our mining company, five percent of the shares will be transferred under the name of Commissioner Xiao's mother.” 。Mr. Xiao, as long as you agree to say a good word for Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyou, these are all yours. 。Xiao, Commissioner, we all heard that your father got pneumoconiosis and can't continue working at the construction site. 。With these shares, your parents will be worry-free in their old age and can retire comfortably in the county. 。We also heard that the girlfriend of Commissioner Xiao is the daughter of Director Chen from the Agriculture Bureau. With a leadership family background, she surely has requirements for their marital home. If they had these shares, buying a large house in a year would be no problem at all. 。"Mr. Xiao, let's have a drink together to celebrate this partnership!"Xiao Zheng glanced at the two glasses in front of him. As long as he toasted with them, his family would receive shares in a stone mine and a cement factory. All the problems Xiao Zheng was facing now, like his parents' jobs and income, the issue of buying a house, etc., would be solved. 。This is like hitting the jackpot. 。Song Guoming saw that Xiao Zheng's heart was moved, so he said: "Commissioner Xiao, although Guilong and Xiaofeng are not the richest people in town, they are also very wealthy and trustworthy. As long as you agree, we can sign the contract tomorrow and transfer the shares>>> 。You don't need to worry about whether these shares are legal. We can handle all of that, and we don't have to put them under your parents' names. We can put them under the name of a distant relative of yours to ensure absolute safety. 。Here, I also make another promise. As long as we start cooperating, all the unpleasant things in front will be considered in the past. From now on, Song Guoming will absolutely support you. 。You are already a very young leading official in our town. As long as I support you, it wouldn't be a problem for you to become the town head within one or two years. 。“
In an instant, money and power, the most sought-after resources by humankind, seemed to be laid out for Xiao Zheng. All he had to do was drink this cup of wine.” 。Xiao Zheng looked at Song Guoming, Song Guoming nodded to him. At this moment, Song Guoming's face was red because of the alcohol, and he actually smiled, nodding slightly. 。Xiao Zheng looked again at Wang Guilong and Lin Xiaofeng, who also smiled at Xiao Zheng, thinking that Xiao Zheng was about to agree. 。However, what Xiao Zheng ultimately said was completely different from what they expected: "Song Shuji, and the two bosses, I don't need any shares" 。, “Just know it.” 。Let's just leave it at that. 。“When we get to the building, Chen Hong said, ‘My parents should be resting now. I don’t want to disturb them, so you shouldn’t go up today.’” 。Xiao Z...
