Lu Taogui looked at the office door and closed it securely. Then he answered the phone: "Hello, Governor Shan!"
"Hello, Mr. Lu," Shanchuan Bai's voice was low and cordial: "Let's have dinner together tonight? Today Chaoyang brought a box of 1988 French Chateau Henri. Let's taste it together."
Lu Taogui likes this red wine, and Ningganhong's top-quality wine is also very good. However, today's so-called Henry Castle in 1988 is obviously not a domestic Ningganhong. However, Lu Taogui loves red wine and cannot resist his curiosity.
, and said: "Okay, I'll see you in the evening."
Before seven o'clock in the evening, Yinzhou City was already overflowing with light. In the downtown area not far from the provincial capital, there was Ningganhong's club. Under the cover of several old Chinese Sophora japonica trees, people who entered the club bowed their heads slightly.
Head, it was not easy for others to pay attention. Lu Taogui, accompanied by his secretary, walked inside. Inside the wooden door, Shanchuan Bai, secretary Jingang and Ning Ganhong, chairman Yao Chaoyang, were waiting inside.
Inside the door is the wine cabinet display area. Adjacent to the wall, there are bottles of red wine. Some are high-profile, some are low-key, some are gentle, and some are strong. Just like the beauties chosen by the guests, what do you want?
You can take any one you want with you. When Lu Taogui walked into this environment, he forgot all about his work and breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the wall filled with red wine, Shanchuan Bai and Yao Chaoyang accompanied Lu Taogui as they walked inside. They did not go upstairs to enter the box, but went underground. Lu Taogui was a little surprised: "Go downstairs?" Shanchuan Bai smiled.
Said: "Today, Mr. Yao invited us to taste wine in the wine cellar." Yao Chaoyang immediately reported: "Minister Lu, we built this wine cellar according to the standards of French classic wine cellars. The floor tiles and walls are our
I bought an old wine cellar in France and shipped it over." Lu Taogui glanced at Yao Chaoyang: "Oh? So, part of this wine cellar is from abroad?" Yao Chaoyang said with a smile: "That's right.
Minister Lu, this can create a stronger wine atmosphere." Lu Taogui nodded slightly.
While they were talking, everyone had arrived at the wine cellar. It was a slightly long and narrow space, with vertical floor tiles on the ground, glowing with a faint brilliance, and mottled cultural tiles on the walls. There was a long row of tables and chairs in the middle, and the tables were covered with
White tablecloths, standing candlesticks with candles, and slightly rusty iron storage cabinets beside the wall create an exotic atmosphere.
"Come on, Minister Lu please, Governor Shan please!" Yao Chaoyang invited the leaders to sit down first. Today, there are indeed not many people. Lu Taogui asked: "Are we the only ones today?" Shanchuan Bai said with a smile.
"You don't need to have too many people tasting wine, otherwise everyone will see Minister Lu and rush to toast, and it will become like a cow's drink. I guess Minister Lu may not like it." When Lu Taogui heard this, he laughed: "It's still Shan Province.
Very considerate.”
At this time, Yao Chaoyang said to the waitress next to him: "Let Issa do it." The waitress nodded and left. Lu Taogui didn't care, chatted a few words with Shanchuan Bai, and asked Jingang who was accompanying him.
I asked about my recent work to show my concern. At this time, the sound of high-heeled shoes was heard on the wooden stairs, and then, a blond woman with two braids hanging on her shoulders was seen, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand.
, walked up the stairs to the wine cellar. She had large silver earrings hanging from her ears, wearing a white lace shirt, a Mediterranean blue skirt, and white high heels. She was not Han or Hui, but
French!
Her white skin was slightly pink. She stood next to Lu Taogui and began to introduce the bottle of red wine. "Gentlemen, I am Issa from France. The bottle of wine in my hand today is
From Chateau Henri." This French woman spoke in Chinese, but with a European accent.
As she explained, a smell of Western women's perfume entered Minister Lu Taogui's breath, and Lu Taogui couldn't help but feel agitated. French red wine has always been considered the best red wine in the world.
Coupled with the French girl beside him, speaking in Chinese, and this exotic bunker, Lu Taogui felt as if he was in an old castle in France at this moment.
"I'm afraid what everyone has heard the most is Lafite and Burgundy, but the wine of Chateau Henri is an extraordinary existence among niche wines. You will know it after one sip. The wine next to it is the same kind. I have already
"I've been awake for more than two hours," the French girl continued, "Now it's the best time to drink." As she said that, the girl poured wine for Lu Taogui, Shanchuan Bai and others in turn. Then, the girl herself picked up the wine.
With a tall red wine glass, he sat down next to Lu Taogui and said in Chinese with a foreign accent: "Let's have a sip together."
Everyone laughed, Shanchuan Bai asked Yao Chaoyang: "Mr. Yao, where did you find such a French girl who can speak Chinese?" Yao Chaoyang said: "French red wine must be sold to our country, ours
Red wine is going to be sold in Europe, and there are many French girls who can speak Chinese now, but Issa must be the most beautiful, cutest, and most talented!" Issa obviously understood, and she covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Thank you, brother.
Praise me."
She has also learned to call her eldest brother, and when she says it, she seems to be more sincere than the Chinese. After Lu Taogui saw this Isa, he couldn't help but feel a desire in his heart. Fortunately, Isa has been sitting with him
Beside them, after everyone had a few sips of wine, Issa poured wine for them. Then, he opened another wine from Chateau Henry. Lu Taogui had drank countless red wines at home and abroad, and this Chateau Henry
The wine is indeed good, with a rich entrance and fruity aroma. It is even better than Lafite and Burgundy, and it is better than Yao Chaoyang's Ninggan Red, needless to say!
As a few glasses of wine went down, Issa's body fragrance could be heard from time to time, and Lu Taogui couldn't help but feel itchy. However, he also became vigilant. Shanchuan Bai, Yao Chaoyang invited himself to taste the wine, and chose again
For such a French girl to talk about wine, she must have a purpose. It is not easy for Lu Taogui to get to where he is today. If he meets a foreign girl, he will plunge into her arms without saying sorry to the party and the country.
Not only did he feel sorry for his family, but at least he felt sorry for himself for his decades of hard work! Therefore, Lu Taogui tried his best to restrain himself, that is, to take a sip of wine and talk about some knowledge and feelings about wine.
He did not express his interest in the French girl next to him.
Shanchuan Bai also saw that Lu Taogui had reservations. After drinking for a while, the steak and soup came, he looked at Yao Chaoyang. Yao Chaoyang understood and said to Issa: "Thank you for your hard work."
, Isa." Isa stood up and said with a smile: "Taste it slowly, you can call me if you need it." Lu Taogui, Shanchuan Bai and Jingang all expressed their gratitude to Isa.
After Isa left, Yamakawa Bai picked up the topic: "Minister Lu, I heard you talk about it last time. The Huajing Organization Department has put forward new requirements for the structure of our outstanding young cadres in Ninggan. What do you think, Jingang?"
?" It turns out that today's topic is still about the position of Secretary Shanchuan Bai Jingang. Lu Taogui said: "Governor Shan, I'm really sorry! This matter has changed now. Some time ago, I thought that the current incumbent
County Party Secretary Xiao Zheng may return to Jiangzhong. But now, it is no longer possible. Xiao Zheng's personnel relations have been transferred to Ninggan. The key is that Baoyuan County has done a few things recently, especially the earthquake relief work.
Very good. It is the first county in the country to transport emergency supplies, which has given Ninggan a good reputation. Therefore, Secretary Jiang also approves of Xiao Zheng. To be honest, today, Secretary Jiang called me and made it clear,
Comrade Xiao Zheng must be reused, and I must hurry up. So, I am very sorry... Governor Shan..."
This was not clearly stated, but who among the people present could not understand it? What Lu Taogui meant was that if he wanted to remove Xiao Zheng's seat and let Shanchuan Bai's secretary Jingang sit in this seat, I'm afraid it would be
It's very difficult.
"No, no," Shanchuan Baique said, "Minister Lu, I don't mean to let Jingang and Xiao Zheng fight. That's not what I mean. I also heard that Secretary Jiang thinks highly of Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng
He has also transferred his personnel relations from Jiangzhong to Ninggan, and his work performance is indeed remarkable, so he should be reused!"
When Shanchuan Bai said this, Lu Taogui breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was worried that Shanchuan Bai would oppose Xiao Zheng's promotion, and it would be very difficult for him, Lu Taogui, to interfere and set up obstacles in Xiao Zheng's promotion.
But now it seems that Shanchuan Bai didn't mean this! "Governor Shan, it's good if you can understand."
"This is natural." Shanchuan Bai said, "However, after Comrade Xiao Zheng is promoted, he should be a leader in other cities, right? It is definitely not suitable to continue to stay in Baoyuan, and he will not get good training. I have only one hope
, after Xiao Zheng left, the position of Baoyuan County Party Committee Secretary became vacant. Can Jingang be allowed to go down and get some exercise? Jingang is already in his prime, and he can just be transferred to a lower level. He is still young, so we still hope he goes to a poor area.
Exercise, exercise. Jingang, please pay respect to Minister Lu."
Jingang immediately poured a full glass of red wine and held it up: "I respect you, Minister Lu, and thank you for your care!" Lu Taogui thought for a moment, it was basically an unchangeable fact that Xiao Zheng was promoted, but to what extent?
, the Organization Department still has a strong voice, and when the Baoyuan County Party Committee Secretary becomes available, it will not be difficult to let Jingang go.
He said to Jingang: "If you pour such a full glass, do you want to drink a thousand yuan in one gulp?" Jingang was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "To show my sincerity, Minister Lu, I am the one who drinks this wine."
I must drink it. But today, I will pay for all the wine from my own pocket." Lu Taogui smiled and said, "Okay then. You can drink it, and I will drink this glass too."
The mountains and rivers were white, and Yao Chaoyang applauded. Things were basically settled, and Yao Chaoyang asked the French girl Issa to accompany him for a drink. Lu Taogui lost the psychological pressure and couldn't help but drink a little too much. Issa helped him to the door.
.Then the secretary picked him up and got in the car and went back.
Shanchuan Bai, Yao Chaoyang, and Jingang sat down again. Yao Chaoyang said: "If Jingang can go to Baoyuan County to be the leader, then the rare 'Qiang' mine in Baokang Village can start digging immediately. That is a
