Chapter 56 Group Meeting

The New Year bells are accompanied by the sound of firecrackers that resound throughout the sky. The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the beginning of spring of the lunar calendar. At this moment of hope, the Fujian-Ningxia Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Party, Government and Military leaders and representatives from all walks of life gathered in the banquet hall of the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, celebrate the Spring Festival together, and talk about the bright future of Haixi together.

At this time, the auditorium banquet hall was decorated with lights and flowers, and was full of joy. Secretary Xu, on behalf of the Fujian-Ningxia Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government delivered a passionate speech at the party.

Secretary Xu stood in front of the rostrum, looking at all the representatives from all parties in the hall who came to attend the group meeting, and said enthusiastically: "Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which coincides with the beginning of spring of the lunar calendar. At this moment of hope, the Minning Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a 1995 Spring Festival party here. Everyone gathered together to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, celebrated the New Year of the Pig and talked about the bright future of Haixi. On behalf of the Minning Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to express warm welcome to all the old leaders invited to attend the group meeting; congratulate all the comrades and friends who attended the group meeting.

New Eve; express cordial condolences and good wishes to the vast number of workers, farmers, intellectuals, cadres and retired comrades in the city, commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Ningxia, armed police officers and soldiers, public security officers and military martyrs, and to various democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, people's organizations and people from all walks of life; extend sincere greetings and sincere thanks to our compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan, overseas Chinese, and domestic and foreign friends who care about and support the development of various undertakings in Fujian and Ningxia! I wish you a happy Spring Festival and auspicious Year of the Pig!”

A burst of warm applause rang in the banquet hall, and it also announced the official start of the banquet. From Secretary Xu's speech to the beginning of the banquet, Wu Hao always sat not far behind Secretary Xu. When Secretary Xu picked up the wine glass and prepared to toast, he quickly stood up from the seat, picked up the white wine prepared in advance on the table, followed Secretary Xu, and began to escort Secretary Xu's subsequent to toast journey.

Since Secretary Xu is a local parent official, except for the retired senior officials at the scene who are higher than him, the rest are officials from all walks of life in Mining City, so the pressure is not too great when toasting. More than a dozen tables are like a browse, and it took only more than twenty minutes to complete the toast. However, after the routine toast was completed, Wu Hao, a rising star in Mining City, naturally became the target of some officials' attacks. In just two rounds, Wu Hao drank the remaining half bottle of white wine when Secretary Xu was toasting.

When Jiang Yu was following Secretary Xu as a bartender, she was worried that Wu Hao would be drunk, so her eyes kept following Wu Hao's figure moving. When she watched Wu Hao stay behind Secretary Xu, she was just having a few drinks with her, her heart was naturally relieved. But she never expected that Wu Hao had not returned to her seat, but she was actually pulled by the newly appointed Director Xu's table. Jiang Yu subconsciously glanced at Director Xu's table. He didn't know if he didn't look at it. Jiang Yu almost shocked that the table was all the old people in the officialdom of Fujian and Ningxia. Each of them was a great god-level figure who had been through many battles at the table. When Wu Hao was stopped by them, he was undoubtedly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Seeing this situation, Jiang Yugang's heart was hung high again.

Jiang Yu saw that Wu Hao had not sat down yet, Minister Shao of the Organization Department first picked up a glass of wine and began to persuade Wu Hao. He knew that Wu Hao would probably be poured down by this group of people this time. Jiang Yu saw it and was anxious, but she was anxious. She wanted to go over to help, but she didn't dare to go over. After all, none of the people at that table were fuel-efficient lamps. As long as they were not careful, they might see a clue.

Jiang Yu, who was worried about Wu Hao, looked at Wu Hao and drank five glasses of white wine in a blink of an eye. When Jiang Yu watched Wu Hao pick up the bottle in his hand to pour the wine, a plan suddenly arose in his heart. He whispered a few words to his colleague sitting aside. The colleague smiled at Jiang Yu knowingly and replied: "Director Jiang! Don't worry! I'll go there right now."

Although Wu Hao's alcohol capacity was good, he could not stand the bombardment of these people. After drinking more than ten glasses of white wine, his stomach seemed to be burning. Although he did not feel like he was overwhelming, Wu Hao knew that if he continued to drink, he would probably be carried back tonight. Thinking of this, Wu Hao quickly refused to let Secretary Xu go to the evening. If he wanted to drink, he would push him to drink later. But these people would miss this rare opportunity. Several directors seemed to have reached a consensus to surround Wu Hao and completely blocked Wu Hao's retreat.

Wu Hao looked at this scene and knew that he was destined to be carried out tonight. With this, it would be better to fight to the death. He put down the empty bottle in his hand, reached out to take a bottle of freshly opened white wine from the staff at the reception desk, poured a glass for himself, and said, "Today is the New Year, it is a happy day. Since all the leaders respect me Wu Hao, I will just give it my best to take advantage of me and have a few drinks with you. However, there are so many people, and I only have one,

Each of you drink with me, and I will drink more than a dozen drinks. This is not fair. So if you want to drink, come one on one. Just now, Director Xu kept me and took me to you. Several directors were referees for us. In the end, we could only walk back, and of course the other one was carried back." Wu Hao said this, without waiting for Director Xu to express his opinion, he held the wine glass and clinked the wine glass in Director Xu's hand, and then drank the wine in one sip.

After drinking a glass of white wine, Wu Hao did not feel the original hotness. Wu Hao gave a thankful look like the receptionist who had just delivered the wine. He looked at Jiang Yu in the distance and poured another glass for himself. He smiled at the receptionist who delivered the wine to him and ordered: "Xiao Sun! From now on, as soon as Director Xu's wine glass becomes an empty glass, you will be responsible for filling him up immediately until one of us is drunk."
