The atmosphere at the wine table was very harmonious. The several wine companions invited by Pang Ziqi not only had a high capacity for drinking, but were also eloquent and good at adjusting the atmosphere. The drinks at the table were intertwined and the laughter was flowing. Unknowingly, they drank.
For more than two hours, even though he reminded himself in advance not to get drunk again, under the joint efforts of several people, Zhou Jing still felt dizzy and overwhelmed, so he made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
As soon as the door was closed, the wine shot straight out of the throat like a rain of arrows, and then it was like a goddess scattering flowers, out of control. This situation had happened before, but this time it was particularly powerful. It felt like it was in the stomach and intestines.
There are thousands of troops hidden, and under the encouragement of alcohol, they pour out one after another. The hearty feeling makes people feel refreshed and seems to be much more awake.
Amidst the noise, Zhou Jing slowly walked out, washed his hands by the sink, lit a cigarette, frowned and smoked it, stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes, then returned to the private room, sat down again, and drank only half a cup.
, pretending to be drunk, squinting on a chair and pretending to be drunk. The drinking scene is like a battlefield. Rather than being knocked down, it is better to cheat and escape. This is a last resort choice when the enemy is strong and we are weak.
Obviously, what happened next proved that his choice was very correct. After Zhou Jing pretended to be drunk, the other party targeted Geng Changrong and Ran Pengfei, and quickly put them away with a wave of intensive firepower.
It was only then that Pang Ziqi felt a little regretful and kept blaming himself at the table. He only said that he drank too much and had planned to go to the KTV and take a bath, but he couldn't go.
It was like yesterday reappearing. After half a month, Zhou Jing was carried upstairs again by two big and round men. He took the elevator to the room upstairs and was thrown straight onto a large round leather bed.
, the two of them were polite and helped Zhou Jing take off his coat and shoes before turning around and leaving. After the door closed, Zhou Jing sighed, sat up slowly, rubbed his numb arms, and looked around.
This is my first time coming to this hotel. I feel very grand. The room is also carefully decorated. There is an oil painting hanging on the wall opposite. It is a girl in black dressed in the luxurious service of Russian upper class, sitting on a luxurious open carriage, with the background.
The famous Alexander Theater in St. Petersburg. The woman in the picture is arrogant and cool, giving people a condescending but energetic feeling. It is very interesting to watch.
The furniture in the guest room is also very luxurious, full of Western classical charm. There is a unique desk lamp on the simple and elegant desk. Even the cashmere carpet on the floor is embroidered with large flowers, which looks magnificent and full of charm.
Of course, the most attractive thing about the artistic atmosphere is the leather round bed under Zhou Jing's body. With the slightest movement, the bed surface sways tremblingly, making it extremely comfortable.
Although the dinner was extremely rich and full of delicacies, he was only busy drinking and had no chance to eat the staple food. In addition, he had vomited violently and his stomach was empty, making him very uncomfortable. Zhou Jing got up and went to the floor to find two on the shelf
I took a box of noodles, soaked them in hot water, and ate them hungrily. At this moment, I felt funny. Life is often like this. Even if there is a feast in front of me, it will be in vain if I don't have the blessing to enjoy it.
Ten minutes later, he put down the dishes, went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, took a hot shower, and then lay in the bathtub to soak. While he was enjoying himself, a pleasant ringtone on his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at it.
The number was very unfamiliar. Zhou Jing hesitated for a moment, then answered the call and said softly: "Hello, who is this?"
A burst of extremely heroic laughter sounded in my ears, and then a magnetic baritone voice came out: "Director Zhou, I am Pang Ziqi!"
Zhou Jing immediately woke up and covered it up with a smile: "Hello, Brother Ziqi, I've been drinking so much that I can't hear your voice clearly!"
Pang Ziqi lowered his voice and said in a very sincere voice: "Director Zhou, I'm really sorry. Those friends were not very sensible. They made the leader jealous at the dinner table and sent you back to the hotel. Otherwise, please do it first.
Sober up and I’ll come over for a visit in half an hour!”
Zhou Jing smiled and shook his head, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "No need, Brother Ziqi, since we are all friends, don't be polite. We have a long time to come!"
Pang Ziqi refused, frowning and stubbornly said: "What can I do? You have helped me a lot, so I have to thank you very much!"
Zhou Jing heard the implication, smiled calmly, shook his head and said: "Brother Ziqi, I accept your wishes, and there is no need for anything else."
"Haha, Director Zhou, since you treat me as a friend, you don't want to see anyone outside. Let's send those people away first. I will visit you later." Pang Ziqi thought it was a polite comment and didn't care. He smiled.
After chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone and walked out.
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, put his phone next to him, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, looking at the smoke lingering between his fingers, thinking to himself, this Pang Ziqi has a flexible mind, is good at observing faces, is good at talking, and is also particular about doing things.
, no wonder he has excellent popularity.
After lying in the bathtub for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jing jumped out, took a hair dryer, dried his hair, wrapped himself in a bath towel and went outside. He found a brand new brown pajamas in the closet and put them on. They still fit him very well and he had just packed them up.
There was a knock on the door outside. He hurriedly walked over and opened the door, only to see Pang Ziqi standing there with a bright smile on his face and two gift boxes in his hand.
"Director Zhou, I'm really sorry, I was delayed a bit on the way!" Pang Ziqi's smile was sincere and contagious.
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said softly: "Brother Ziqi, please come in!"
"Okay!" Pang Ziqi looked mysterious, looked back, then entered the room, closed the door behind him, and walked to the sofa.
Zhou Jing raised his hand to signal and said with a smile: "Sit down, sit down!"
"Okay, okay!" Pang Ziqi was very cautious and put the two gift boxes on the coffee table. He waited for Zhou Jing to take a seat, then smiled and sat next to him.
Zhou Jing took out a cigarette, handed it to him, pointed to the gift box in front of him, and said calmly: "Zi Qi, take this away, don't make it difficult for me!"
Pang Ziqi's expression remained unchanged, he held the cigarette firmly between his fingers and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, don't worry too much, I'm just ordering tea, nothing else."
Zhou Jing shook his head and said categorically: "Zi Qi, you may not know much about me, but I firmly refuse to accept gifts, no matter how much they are. Anyone who breaks this rule will no longer be a friend!"
Pang Ziqi was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said with a forced smile: "Okay, Director Zhou, I won't make things difficult for you. Fortunately, I had your help this afternoon and solved such a big trouble."
.”
Zhou Jing sighed, pointed at the gift box, and said seriously: "Brother Ziqi, if I had known you were coming with a gift, I wouldn't have helped you this afternoon."
Pang Ziqi was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "Director Zhou, it's time for a review. In fact, I am still clean financially. I am just worried that I will miss this promotion opportunity because of the investigation. Otherwise, I am not afraid of the investigation.
Maybe we can even find an upright official!"
After hearing this, Zhou Jing's face softened, he frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a smile: "That's good, I finally didn't help the wrong person!"
"Director Zhou, to tell you the truth, although the current atmosphere in official circles is not very ideal, my principle of dealing with others is to be a good official. To be a good official, of course I have to start with being an upright official. If I am willing
If you go on the road, you won’t be the deputy section chief now!”
Pang Ziqi also drank too much and had difficulty controlling his emotions, so he vividly recounted his life and work experience in the municipal government office over the years. There were many grievances and unwillingness, and there were also some extremely inspirational things. You can feel it.
It has not been easy for Pang Ziqi to get to where he is today. He has sacrificed a lot. It is understandable that he does not want to give up this excellent opportunity.
Zhou Jing listened quietly, and through careful observation, he also felt that Pang Ziqi was extremely shrewd, spoke in a clear and logical manner, and was a good talent. However, in the officialdom, the most indispensable thing may be talent, and the road to promotion is too difficult and tortuous.
, many people lack opportunities and have no stage to display their talents, and may spend their entire lives on the bench doing nothing.
As they chatted, they felt very speculative. Zhou Jing also opened his heart and communicated with him. The two of them talked on a whim for half an hour. Pang Ziqi was also very happy and went outside to get a chessboard and drove the car.
After three games of horse artillery, Pang Ziqi stood up to say goodbye. Zhou Jing handed the gift box into his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Ziqi, our friendship between gentlemen is as light as tea!"
Pang Ziqi laughed and said with some embarrassment: "Director Zhou, you are really ridiculous. I have been honest for most of my life, and I almost lost my life. Thanks to your reminder, I didn't make any mistakes!"
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, knowing what he meant. Obviously, these gifts were not just as simple as tea leaves. They felt heavy when weighing them. They felt like tens of thousands of dollars. He sighed and half-jokingly said: "That's wrong.
Don’t be afraid, just correct it as soon as possible. If I want to drink tea in the future, it’s better for me to come to you!”
Pang Ziqi looked slightly embarrassed and waved his hand: "Forget it, Director Zhou, I don't want to enter your Discipline Inspection Commission anymore!"
Zhou Jing smiled, walked him to the door, and said softly: "Zi Qi, go slowly, and keep in touch in the future!"
"Okay, okay!" Pang Ziqi smiled and walked downstairs quickly.
As he got into the car, he suddenly remembered something. He slapped his forehead and complained that he had a headache. He took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Jing. After the call was connected, he lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Leader,
I just forgot and made a mistake, and I want to review it with you!"
Zhou Jing was surprised and said with a smile: "What's going on?"
Pang Ziqi smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I was bewitched by my friends and found a model. I will go to your place later!"
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said with great displeasure: "Zi Qi, what do you really want me to say!"
Pang Ziqi laughed and waved his hands: "Director, don't say anything. Next time I drink, I will punish myself with three drinks!"
Zhou Jing snorted, hung up the phone, held a cigarette between his fingers, looked out the window, and sighed: "Model? Let's forget it!"
