Chapter 153: Seven captures of Meng Huo's right to release a glass of wine
Upstairs in Taibai, changing glasses, Bai Mengjiang and Xu Sanxiao were competing at the wine table.
The wine shop is like a battlefield. Outside the city, on the rooftops, the city is captured, and the soldiers are gathered on the battlefield. In the city, at the desk, cups are exchanged, and the wine is cooked and heroes are discussed. In the cup of wine, you can see villains and gentlemen, and there are cowards and heroes. Elegance There are hundreds of poems about drinking wine, the king talks about heroes, and the common people laugh and curse with triangular wine and fennel beans. The noble and the lowly, the romantic and the dirty, all have to be discussed at the wine table, making excuses, venting, and making peace. Then, remove the table, call the gold and retreat the troops.
Although Xu Sanxiao had only been an official for half a year, he was already accustomed to this. He was quite disgusted with this bad habit that was indispensable in officialdom.
No matter how elegant and elegant a person is, he will always be trapped in such a banquet, and he will step by step towards vulgarity, vulgarity, and even vulgarity. The decline of human beings begins with wine and rice bags. Then, between money and power, Gradually, conscience, justice, morality, and humanity are left behind. Therefore, Ms. Chen Fenghuang said: The wine table can never match the poetry of the study. The elegance and beauty of life can be found by reading, not drinking. What she said in this life There are many, but this sentence is undoubtedly the most plain and profound.
At the banquet, Bai Mengjianghao was in high spirits and drank heavily in toasts. Xu Sanxiao refused to drink and refused to give him this honor.
Bai Mengjiang raised his glass for the eighth time and said, "Secretary Xu, there is an allusion called Seven Captures of Meng Huo, do you know?"
Xu Sanxiao said angrily: "If I don't even know this, am I qualified to sit here?"
Bai Mengjiang was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying you are uneducated, I just want to use this matter as an analogy. This glass of wine is the eighth time I have returned your favor. You just want to say seven I've got enough to capture Meng Huo. If you drink more, I'll have more. If you have any more instructions, I really won't listen."
Xu Sanxiao raised his glass calmly and said: "You went from doing things first as a tribute to good deeds coming in pairs, doing things in three, getting rich in four seasons, five blessings, all the way to this Seven Captures of Meng Huo. This is getting more and more interesting. If I If I don't give you this face, I'm sorry for your toasts." After that, he picked up the cup and drank it all.
There are also several other members of the party committee sitting at the wine table. Yang Hongling is a lady. Although she drinks as much as any other woman, she is a teetotaler today. In the more than half a month since Xu Sanxiao took office as party secretary, she has She has always been like this, with a lukewarm attitude, a neither salty nor cold speech, and has always been quite dedicated to her work. She also applied for the 200,000 embezzled project funds in person from the county finance bureau. During this period, she occasionally She would also come to Xu Sanxiao to discuss her sleeping skills, which was called a purely revolutionary friendship exchange between party and government cadres. She was not as strong as before, and more often she was willing to passively accept the favor. But she still left when enough was enough. , I have never been dissatisfied with Xu Sanxiao’s desires.
At the wine table, Xu Sanxiao did not give Bai Mengjiang any face before, and she had been sitting there silently. Now Xu Sanxiao raised his glass, and Yang Hongling responded immediately, pouring a full glass and holding it up.
From the moment the banquet started, Lin Siping had been pretending to be a peacemaker, but with little success, and it was quite embarrassing for both parties. When Bai Mengjiang raised the eighth glass of wine, Xu Sanxiao finally appreciated the favor, and Lin Siping also He quickly raised his cup happily.
Meng Qingxin likes to drink, but he is very restrained. He will never drink more than half a kilo in one meal. As a retired person, he basically doesn’t have much scruples. From the moment he sat down, he didn’t act based on anyone’s face. He just ate what he needed.
, just drink when you want. When Xu Sanxiao raised his glass, he hadn’t drank enough, so he naturally wanted to drink with him.
Mu Renxing, the deputy secretary of the party committee, is now being marginalized. The party committee members are seeing Xu Sanxiao gaining more and more power and his position is becoming more and more unshakable. This is the most realistic thing in officialdom. Even though they know that he has a bad relationship with Secretary Xu,
Under such circumstances, how many people are willing to stay on the same side? Li Tiemin, who used to have the best relationship with Mu Renxing, now only nodded slightly when they met, let alone others. In the past, Mu Renxing was a very cautious person about drinking.
Nowadays, everyone is welcome, and no one needs to persuade anyone to drink. In just a short period of time, I drank more than Bai Mengjian. I drank a small cup worth one or two cents, and Ma Mingjiang Daqu at 52°. I drank nine cups in one breath.
I was a little drunk, and I finally picked up the cup after swaying.
Xu Sanxiao looked around at the other people on the table with his empty cup, and finally fixed his eyes on Bai Mengjiang's face. This man was indeed not a simple person. A gangster leader who was used to arrogant and arrogant, could endure seven glasses of wine at the wine table. That's it.
The word "forbearance" is enough for the previous character. He may not be completely convinced yet, and the current retreat is just the beginning. Such people who are unwilling to be inferior to others will probably not give in so easily. Among the three hegemons, Bai Mengjiang is considered to have the best public opinion and a solid foundation.
And the deepest. Regarding whether to defeat or conquer this person, Xu Sanxiao didn’t have a definite idea before the meal started. He was still thinking about seeing how things progressed. The moment he raised his glass, he had already made up his mind.
After finishing the drink, he put down the wine glass, pulled Bai Mengjiang into a box aside, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Boss Bai, for your hospitality. I still have work to do in the afternoon. I will just drink this glass of wine, and everything will be done as soon as possible."
, I’ll go back and listen to Boss Bai’s letter, and please give me a message to Deputy Secretary Bai. Just abstaining from voting can’t change the ecological balance of Yanyang County’s officialdom. Whether it’s making friends or making decisions, I, Xu Sanxiao, am here to do whatever I want.
It’s time to teach.”
Bai Mengjiang was a little confused and nodded blankly.
Xu Sanxiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boss Bai's understanding can't really be that bad, right?"
Bai Mengjiang smiled bitterly and said: "Today, you will first show me thousands of troops and dark clouds over the city, and then capture Meng Huo seven times at the wine table. Finally, you will release your military power with a glass of wine, and then I will know your true intention.
I just want to know now, if I am not as smart as you think, and I am a fool like Fu Xicai, what will be the result if I resist? Will you really do something to me? "
Xu Sanxiao said deeply: "Fortunately you are not Fu Xicai."
In the afternoon, Xu Sanxiao came back from the Mamingkou Rafting Project Base.
Now the main building and waterway cleaning work at the rafting base have been basically completed. A slow-flowing waterway has been led out next to the original rapids waterway, with a total length of five kilometers. Safety alarm points have been built along the way in accordance with regulations, and a half-man team has been set up.
The coaching team is composed of professional rafting athletes, and the relevant commercial supporting service facilities are also complete. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the official opening.
The entire Xiema Town Scenic Area project is progressing smoothly. The four-wall reinforcement project of the tiankeng has been completed. The safety measures for the underground river exploration project are also nearing completion. A section of dry water tunnel has been retained in the lower reaches of the river, with small rails laid inside and a human-operated iron rail system.
The wheelbarrow is for tourists to play, and there are dinosaurs, zombies, and characters from some famous horror movies installed along the track, called the horror ride.
On the land of the Central Primary School, the remaining seven families were moving together. People from the fire brigade and police station were helping there, acting as if the military and civilians were a family. Xu Sanxiao took a few glances as he drove by in his newly purchased Junjie car.
, said to 'driver and life assistant' He Wenyu: "Bai Mengjiang is a smart man. It will be Deputy Secretary Bai's 50th birthday in a few days, so I have to express something."
He Wenyu drove the car, turned around and said with a smile: "I am the driver, what are you going to discuss with me?"
Xu Sanxiao looked at Sister Xian with resentment and said: "I can't afford a driver of your high standard. Since you served me a meal that morning, do you remember how long it has been since you had breakfast? And
Can your clothes not be mixed with mine? The Wang Feng family’s sister-in-law suspects that I have a transvestite every time. In addition, there are also housework such as drying quilts and cleaning. Can you do a little more?"
He Wenyu pursed his lips and said: "I have never done these things since I was a child. We live together now. If you don't help me take care of it, who will?"
Xu San smiled and said: "So you are a fairy in the sky, and the fireworks on earth are not suitable for you."
He Wenyu turned his face, looked out the car window with bright eyes, and said: "Xu Sanxiao, I have lived with you in Xiema Town for these days. It feels good. These experiences are unprecedented for me.
, very interesting.”
"Is this the legendary experience life? In the past, I often heard that journalists, writers, directors, or leaders would come here for a few days and then go back to engage in artistic creation or formulate new policies in a targeted manner." Xu Sanxiao asked jokingly.
Said: "When will your experience end?"
He Wenyu said: "You are always so dishonest. What I say is from my heart. Someone once said to me that there is no need to go into the mountains to seek enlightenment. Life has real fun. I thought he was perfunctory before, but now
Gradually I came to realize that practicing kung fu requires one to be focused on nothing else, while cultivating one’s mind requires going through thousands of eons in the world of mortals, observing the world’s various conditions, and experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, greed, anger, ignorance, and resentment. My mentality is too plain.”
Xu Sanxiao sighed: "It's over. This experience is getting deeper and deeper. It seems that I will have to serve you for a while."
He Wenyu smiled softly and said: "Xu Sanwazi, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings. If you go to Chengdu with a lantern to look for a driver like me, can you find me? I don't want a penny of your salary, and you still protect me."
your safety"
Xu Sanxiao interrupted: "Speaking of this, I remembered a few words that I must tell you. What you want to do now is an ordinary person. I know that you have a license to kill, and you can take people's lives at will without involving
Party discipline and state law, you can do this and I can't. You are now my assistant in name. If you kill someone at every turn, they will put the responsibility on me. So what I want to tell you is that unless there is an extraordinary situation
, please always control your emotions, and never kill someone like you did in Chengdu."
He Wenyu said: "The woman I met in Rongcheng is called Mo Qing, and her nickname is Snow Fox. More than 20 years ago, she used fox demons to cause trouble in eastern Zhejiang Province, and she has done countless cases of picking flowers. We
She has been wanted for many years, and I once found out when she committed a crime. The man was so obsessed with her that he abandoned his wife and children, and his family was ruined."
Xu San smiled and said: "I see, no wonder you trampled her to death as soon as we met. I have always suspected that you killed her to silence her."
He Wenyu said: "That's a bit of what you mean." He added: "Since you said so, I just need to be more careful in the future and not take action casually."
Xu San smiled and said: "What I mean is, as long as it's something I can handle myself, it's better not to take action if you don't take action. Since you are the driver and assistant, you have to act like it. People in this officialdom are too bad."
, everyone has super strong association skills, you are already eye-catching."
He Wenyu smiled and said, "Okay, next time something happens, I'll watch the fun first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a motorcycle suddenly came from the road, approaching at a very fast speed. The rider on the car showed his pistol and shot Junjie continuously. Xu Sanxiao reacted very quickly, and his agile underground body caused a gust of wind.
When the wind blew in, I didn't know when the car door opened, and He Wenyu had already left the car.
