In his rage, Liao Xuebing figured out which one was lighter and which one was heavier. Getting angry now would not help the matter. It would leave an impression in front of the leaders that he was helpless and useless. Besides, the top priority was how to solve the problem.
After leaving the place, we quickly rearranged the table to save some impression points.
Liao Xuebing forced a smile and was about to ask Mashankui to add some "hard dishes" when he heard a loud snap, the cups and saucers on the table jumped, and then someone spoke.
"Old Zhang, don't you want to do it anymore? This table is full of things. Didn't I explain it again and again? Today is the most glorious day since we established Happy Construction Co., Ltd.! All the leaders here today come from the region to the province.
Even the central government came down to express cordial care and condolences to all the members of our Happy Shop. We just use this table of radishes and cabbages to entertain us? It’s embarrassing to say that! Lao Zhang, what do you mean by creating such a banquet?
?”
Xue Xiang was particularly impressed by the man who spoke. This man was in his mid-thirties, with a Chinese character, a tall figure, and quite a dignified figure. He was Cai Gaozhi, the first deputy director of the Kuaihuopu People's Commune. What Cai Gaozhi said
The behavior is exactly the same as Hong Tianfa's previous violent beating of the old horse from the security department in the office. It was all for the leadership, no shame, but dedication.
Previously, during the welcome meeting, Xue Xiang could tell that this person was unusual. He spoke fluently about the theory of class struggle. When it was the turn of the cadres of the Happy Shop organization to speak, Cai Gaozhi actually took the lead, standing behind the top leader Ma Shankui.
In front of him, this was taboo in the most disciplined officialdom. But Mashankui only twitched his eyebrows violently a few times, but did not say a word to scold him.
At that time, Xue Xiang sensed something. This small happy shop was also a little devil! He had to be careful and don't think that he was Zhuge Liang who could do calculations when he was in Sijiu City.
That is just a foresight. Only when you enter this place can it be regarded as the first lesson in officialdom practice.
"Director Cai, don't blame me for this. It was Secretary Wu who came to the cafeteria to give the notice, and I followed the order." Zhang Guangzhu, a long-faced and thin man who spoke, is the director of the commune cafeteria. He also just rushed to the dining hall.
.
Because he is also a chef, he has been busy in the kitchen. He did not attend the previous welcome party at all. He does not know who will be entertaining tonight. There is still a waiter in the canteen, Xiao Wang, who saw the table full of vegetarian dishes and couldn't stand it.
Sneaking back to the kitchen, he teased him about how brave he was. Whoever came today would dare to come to such a banquet.
Zhang Guangzhu almost fainted when he heard Xiao Wang reported several trade names. He managed to calm down and rushed to the restaurant. Before he could explain, he was slapped in the face by Director Cai, the most dignified person in the commune.
chide.
Hearing Zhang Guangzhu mention Secretary Wu, the other deputy directors of the commune all looked at Mashankui. Seeing this, Xue Xiang naturally guessed that Secretary Wu must be closely related to the top leader of Happy Shop, most likely
It was his secretary. Sure enough, someone confirmed it for him soon.
"Where's Mr. Wu Tianqiao? Call him over and let him explain clearly in public. Our Happy Shop Commune doesn't want to fan the wind or light a will-o'-the-wisp. Director Ma, Xiao Wu is your secretary. Do you have any other tasks for me?
He's gone." Cai Gaozhi kicked the ball to Mashankui.
Unexpectedly, the ball was intercepted halfway.
"Haha, Director Cai, please calm down. Let's eat in a hurry. We are really hungry after the bumpy journey. I think this combination of meat and vegetables is bright and shiny, and it also has my favorite dried spicy food. It's very good. I'm officially here today.
Taking office soon
Huohuopu Commune can be regarded as my home. Secretary Hu, Director Su, Director Hong, and Section Chief Liu, the reception today is not good. It is really because the conditions of our Huohuopu Commune are limited. Don’t blame me. I will punish myself with three drinks.
, you have the right to apologize."
It was Xue Xiang who stole the ball. As expected, he drank three glasses in a row and turned the glass upside down, leaving no trace of wine left.
When Xiao Hu, Su Xinghe and others saw that Xue Xiang had taken over the mess, they naturally gave him enough face and said, "No need, no need, it's very unique."
Mustache and others applauded in their hearts. Xue Xiang did this really well. When he first arrived, he knew how to take the blame for the leader. With such agility and his status as a yamen official, his future prospects are limitless.
As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, Geng Fulin, Chen Guangming, and Liao Xuebing all looked at him with admiration, then stood up, said a few words of apology, and also accompanied them by punishing them with three glasses of wine in a row. The bosses in the district behaved like this.
, how could the commune cadres not follow suit, so they drank three glasses of wine together, which was considered a collective apology from Chengtian County to Xiaohu and others.
After Cai Gaozhi drank three glasses of wine, his face showed no joy or worry. Under the faint halo, no one could see the rapid beating of the goose-skinned corners of his eyes.
Xue Xiang made a horizontal move and finally suppressed the looming storm for the time being.
Without waiting for Mashankui's greeting, Lao Zhang stumbled back to the kitchen. In more than ten minutes, a pot of braised pork ribs was on the table, and not long after, several pots of delicacies and game were also served.
The meal didn't end until the moon was at zenith. As for the enjoyment, I'm afraid the people at the table had different hearts. However, during the dinner, everyone in the Happy Shop looked at Xue Xiang a lot closer.
Although everyone knew that this boy had an extraordinary background, otherwise there would be so many big shots that he couldn't even see appearing in this small happy shop, but he was really beautiful in what he said and did.
No matter who goes to toast, everyone will drink and toast, and they will definitely return the toast, without any hint of dandyism.
……………
The sun was rising and the wind was gentle. Xue Xiang carried his suitcase and Mashankui and headed towards a large mountain range ahead. The path was winding and uneven, and weeds and wildflowers were blooming on the roadside. Along the way, the scenery was full of green mountains, green water, and white clouds.
Huang He and Xue Xiang felt that their eyes were not enough.
At this moment, he was sent to the frontier, far away from the worries of his relatives. He just felt extremely lucky to have arrived in a paradise. How could he see such natural beauty in Sijiu City?
Although Xue Xiang admired the scenery along the way, he felt something was wrong as he walked. Why was it that he was looking at the mountain peaks so close in front of him from so far away, and after walking for so long, it felt like he was walking in circles?
He did know that there is a saying "looking at the mountain and running to death", but after all, that sentence can only be obtained on paper. This time, he finally understood what "knowing the matter must be done". After walking for more than an hour, the small mountain village
No shadow was seen.
Xue Xiang was on his way to Kaoshantun to take up his post. His title as deputy director of the People's Commune Revolutionary Committee was just a title. He was not even assigned to work in charge, so he had no choice but to go to his actual post - acting captain of the Kaoshantun brigade.
After sending off everyone with mustaches this morning, Ma Shankui took over the task of sending Xue Xiang to his post. In fact, the other deputy directors also had the same idea, but Director Ma was the leader after all. When he spoke, everyone swallowed their words.
Go down.
"Director Xue, you must be tired from walking. I think you should stop being so polite and let me carry the box. Haha, I have been walking this mountain road for decades with my iron feet, but every time I go down to Paoshantun, my heart trembles.
Just go through this section and the road behind will be open." When the road suddenly narrowed, Mashankui turned around and spoke to Xue Xiang.
"No, no, no, you are older than me, how can I put you in trouble." Xue Xiang declined with a smile, and then said: "Director Ma, I was curious why you didn't call a car earlier, but I finally understood after seeing this road.
.”
Dr. Zhou once said, "It doesn't matter whether there is a road in the world. If there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road." But the small trail in front of Xue Xiang completely overturned this sentence. It can no longer be regarded as a road at all.
Although there are many people walking it.
This winding trail is basically sandwiched between two hillsides. It is only wide enough for two people to pass side by side, and the trail is pinched by the protrusions of the hillside into a curve. If you are driving, you can only pass a bicycle, even if you use a bicycle.
If you don't have a bicycle, it's a luxury to cross this trail and turn around when turning.
"Yes, this trail is really stuck in the village of Kaoshan, but it is the only way out of the mountains for the village of Kaoshan. It's impossible not to walk on it. The villagers can't transport a lot of things, and they sell public grain every year.
We all rely on people to fight against the enemy one by one." As Mashankui spoke, his eyes welled up with tears.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Director Xue, you have a long way to go before you go to Kuoshan Village! I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, as a director, are simply incompetent. They say that there are three evils in Kuoshan Village. For more than ten years, I have been in trouble.
I’m ashamed that I didn’t solve it for the folks! I know you
There is a way. The higher-ups have arranged for you to go to Kaoshantun, and they definitely want you to make some achievements. After you go down, work hard and don’t have any worries. If you can resist, I will fight for you. I will fight for you.
I hope you can bring a lot of blessings to the folks in Kaoshantun."
"Director Ma is serious. I want to express my attitude to you. The organization has arranged for me to go to Kaoshantun. I will do my best to achieve results and live up to the trust of the organization."
Said some clichés.
Who knew that his thoughts were all taken away by the three evils mentioned by Mashankui. As for whether Director Ma was really emotional or just acting as a joke, he didn't care to study it carefully.
The sunlight passing through the forest was mottled like a net, and just like Xue Xiang's thoughts at this time, countless holes were created out of thin air.
