Chapter three hundred and twenty fourth sleeping out
Ten minutes later, the two hot pots were brought to the living room. Everyone just smelled the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen and had no intention of chatting. Everyone could no longer hold it in any longer.
It's a deep-seated desire for fat.
"There are no other dishes prepared, just two hot pots. Don't dislike it!" Xu Dong said politely.
Director Su covered his mouth and smiled: "Who dares to dislike it? If I could have such a big meal every day, I would be willing to do 'nine-nine-six'."
"It smells so good, Xiao Xu spent a lot of money."
Director Cao nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Dong opened the cabinet on the side and took out the moss wine and red wine inside.
"Gay men drink white, lesbians drink red, don't drink if you come by car, and Xiao Xiang, please have tea with me!"
There was not much disappointment on Xiang Xin's face, and her eyes were fixed on the three fresh pot, waiting for the announcement that dinner was ready.
"Drink mine first, and then drink yours after you finish." Director Cao waved his hand.
Section Chief Li smiled and said: "There's no need to ask. Of course I'll drink yours first. Your wine is much higher quality than Xiao Xu's."
It's also Maotai wine, but Xu Dong chose mid-range wines because he wanted to be low-key and low-key, and didn't want to stand out too much.
Lao Fang took the wine bottle smoothly, opened it and filled everyone's glasses one by one. Except for Xu Dong and Gu Haiyuan, no one else was left behind.
Section Chief Li also drove here, but Xu Dong offered to take the other person home. As both Section Chief Li and him were parties, one of them had to stay and drink with him.
What's more, it's the superior leaders who come.
Director Cao raised his glass:
"Come on, let's all raise a toast together. Firstly, let's wish Li and Laoji great success and break into a new world. Secondly, we wish Xiaoxu will be the section chief. We hope he can make great achievements in his future work and be promoted step by step!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Xu Dong and Section Chief Li quickly expressed their thanks.
"Cheers everyone!"
"cheers……"
Director Cao put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Don't be polite, everyone. Let's get started. Don't waste Xiao Xu's hard work."
For a while, people were drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and everyone stopped.
Xu Dong stood up quickly: "You continue to eat, I will go out and take a look."
With doubts, he walked quickly to the door, and then opened the door with a click.
Standing outside the door was Xiaoyun. The little girl was holding a rice bowl in her hands. She hadn't seen her for a few months, and her originally round face had turned back into a prickly shape.
"Uncle Xu, are Coco and Lele at home?"
Xu Dong scratched his scalp: "Well, they are not at home. Only my uncle came back today. My uncle is inviting his colleagues to dinner at home!"
The little girl craned her neck and took a look inside the house. When she saw many people inside, she immediately took two steps back, feeling discouraged.
"Then...Uncle Xu, I'm going back first!"
"Wait a minute." Xu Dong immediately called to the other party.
"ah?"
Before Xiaoyun could react, Xu Dong stepped forward and took the rice bowl from the other party's hand: "Wait for uncle here for a while."
After saying that, he took the rice bowl and returned to the living room.
"Xiao Xu, who is that child?" Director Cao asked curiously.
"The neighbor's child has come to play with us a few times before. I will just get her some food. You can continue to eat yours!"
Xu Dong was very fast, and soon he got a bowl full of vegetables for the little girl. Finally, as usual, An poured in three or four spoons of soup base. The child had a weak stomach, so he specially chose three fresh soup.
Return to the door again and hand the rice bowl to the other party.
"Be careful, it's a bit hot."
Xiaoyun looked happy: "Thank you, Uncle Xu." Gu
"Go home quickly. There are guests at my uncle's house today, so I won't keep you here." Xu Dong touched the little girl's scalp.
"Well, Uncle Xu, do you want to move back here?" Xiao Yun looked forward to it.
Xu Dong shook his head: "No, today is just a special situation."
The little girl's face suddenly fell.
"Okay, as long as you have free time, you can come over and play with Coco and the others at any time. Your Grandpa Xu said that he hasn't seen you for a long time." Xu Dong knelt down and comforted.
Xiaoyun nodded immediately, but she still felt a little sad. The two families were quite far apart, and her mother didn't trust her to go out alone. She usually picked her up and dropped her off in person.
In this way, there are at most two or three opportunities a month.
Seeing the little girl enter his house, Xu Dong closed the door and rejoined the dinner.
Section Chief Li raised his wine glass and clinked it with Director Cao. They both took a gulp. After drinking, they each picked up a chopstick to heat the vegetables.
"Lao Cao, when will Xiao Xu's appointment be announced?" Section Chief Li asked casually.
Xu Dong immediately pricked up his ears.
"You asked the wrong person about this. You should ask our Director Su, Director Su, don't you think so?" Director Cao joked.
Section Chief Li patted his head and said angrily:
"Look at my brain, I've become confused after drinking."
"No later than the day after tomorrow." Director Su replied with a smile.
Xu Dong was immediately happy, picked up his tea cup and toasted Director Su with a glass of wine.
Director Su took a sip of red wine and teased Director Cao: "Xiao Xu, work hard, maybe in a few years, Lao Cao's position will also be yours."
"I don't dare to think about it. I don't dare to think about it. I will be satisfied if I can become the section chief." Xu Dong declined repeatedly.
"What can young people not dare to think about? In today's world, as long as you have the ability, special promotions will be the norm in the future." Director Su encouraged with a smile.
"Xiao Xu, what Director Su said is right. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will directly recommend you to take over my class." Director Cao may have drunk too much and was a little arrogant.
Section Chief Li immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick: "Xiao Xu, why don't you thank Lao Cao quickly?"
"Uncle Cao, I'd like to toast you, thank you."
"You can offer me a toast, but you have to do it sincerely. It's not okay to use tea instead of wine." Director Cao had a malicious look on his face.
Section Chief Li came to the rescue and said: "Xiao Xu wants to drive me home later, let me take his place!"
"You can take his place, but you have to drink a double portion."
"A double share is a double share. Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you." Section Chief Li waved his hand and said.
"Lao Fang, hurry up and give Lao Li a full bottle of wine. We won't go home until we get drunk today!" Director Cao said excitedly.
Lao Fang didn't think it was a big deal, so several people started a drinking fight on the spot, which lasted for more than three hours.
The dinner didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening.
Not caring about cleaning up the mess, Xu Dong hurriedly drove everyone home. There would be a curfew in an hour, and it would be bad if he was caught.
Several grown men were completely drunk, and it took him a lot of effort just to send them upstairs.
…
In the end, Xu Dong still failed to rush home.
After seeing Lao Fang off, it was already 10:50 in the evening. It was definitely too late to go home, so I had to find a hotel nearby to stay.
After completing the check-in procedures, he quickly called home to report that he was safe, which resulted in unanimous condemnation from Xu Ma and Yang Lina.
Xu Dong talked a lot and took a video to prove it, so he "escaped".
Xu's mother was mainly worried about her son's personal safety, while Yang Lina was worried that her husband would be led astray by some old man in the company.
Especially when encountering a happy event like a promotion, it is easiest for people to relax their vigilance and not be too cautious.
