On the way back to my residence, I suddenly felt very hungry. I suddenly remembered that I had hardly eaten anything at today's dinner. But I didn't want to eat alone, and I no longer went to that roadside stall to eat alone like last time.
I became more interested. I found myself becoming more and more afraid of being alone.
After thinking about it, I took out my phone and called Political Commissar Liu from the Military Division, "Are you in Shangjiang City?"
He smiled and answered me: "Yes. I have to attend the signing ceremony tomorrow. I will attend. Haha!"
I said, "It doesn't matter if you're just sitting in. I'm also sitting in. How about we come out to drink some beer and eat something?"
He smiled and said: "Okay. Tell me, where?"
I knew he was definitely coming, so this was a little bit of face for me, "Let's go to the food stall. I think the food there tastes pretty good. Well, I'll be near your military division and I'll pick you up right away."
Then I told Xiao Cui to drive to the military subdivision. When we got there, Political Commissar Liu was already waiting at the door. He was wearing casual clothes.
In fact, he pays great attention to his own image. In some private occasions on weekdays, he is basically not seen wearing military uniform.
After he got in the car, he smiled and asked me: "What? You didn't eat tonight? I know you are very busy, and you are responsible for the signing ceremony tomorrow. But no matter how busy you are, you should eat? You can't do this."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I have eaten. After welcoming Japanese people in the province, I attended a banquet hosted by the provincial government. You know how you can eat in an occasion like that?"
He smiled and said: "That's true. Actually, I'm a little hungry too, so you just happened to call me."
I smiled and asked him: "If I don't call, you won't be ready to eat?"
He smiled and answered me: "Yes. I am a soldier and I try to keep in shape. Now many people are criticizing us soldiers, saying that compared with foreign soldiers, we lose to others in terms of appearance. We
The country's soldiers are fat, but foreign soldiers are just the opposite. In fact, this statement is one-sided. There are also many fat men among Russian, American and Indian soldiers. But I think I should still try my best to pay attention."
I smiled and said, "Then you should pay attention from tomorrow. Let's drink before we talk today."
He laughed immediately.
Xiao Cui stopped the car at the food stall, and I said to him: "You can go too. Just don't drink."
He should understand what I mean: Xiao Xu is not here today, so he can only serve as my secretary. He said: "I will go make arrangements right away."
And at this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling me and Political Commissar Liu from behind, "Two leaders, are you going to have supper?"
I hurriedly turned around and saw that he was the president of the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank, and there were two people I didn't know beside him. I replied, "Yes. I have been busy all night and I am hungry. Let's replenish some energy."
He smiled and said: "That's just right. Two leaders, let's come together." Then he introduced the two people to us, "These two are Director Huang and Director Liu of the provincial branch. They come to us.
Inspection work. The two division chiefs are Mayor Feng and Political Commissar Liu of our city. Both leaders are members of the Standing Committee of our municipal party committee."
Under normal circumstances, others like to introduce me this way. In the eyes of many people, the title of Executive Vice Mayor is lower than that of Standing Committee Member.
I thought that these two people were from the province after all, so it would be okay to get along with them, so I nodded and said, "That's okay. Let's go together."
Xiao Cui came to me immediately and said, "Mayor Feng, I'll go back first. Just call me later and I'll pick you up right away."
I know that he feels that it is not good for him to be here. After all, his identity is that of a driver. Everyone in the government agency is very sensitive and conscious about such things, and everyone is very clear about their identity.
This also allows everyone to know what they should do under any circumstances. These are the rules.
So I didn't keep him, but I said to him: "You go back and rest, there is no need to come again. I will walk back by myself in a while. Just pick me up at the usual time tomorrow morning."
He knew my character, and under normal circumstances, what I said would not change. So he left immediately.
We went to the food stall, and there were so many people here. The president asked me, "Boss, what do you want to eat?"
I smiled and said, "Let's make do with the guests. Whatever arrangements you originally planned, we will go."
He smiled and said: "Let's go eat dry pot. It tastes good."
When I got there, I realized that it was the same place I came to last time. I immediately laughed and said, "The taste here is really good." Then I found a seat facing away from other food stalls and sat down.
But I was surprised immediately, because I found that the president had arranged two tables. I asked him: "Is there anyone else?"
He smiled and replied: "I called a few employees from the unit."
I said nonchalantly: "Oh. That's it. OK. There are more people and it will be lively."
Not long after we sat down, the president's people came. I immediately regretted agreeing to have this supper with him, because the few people who came were all women, and they all looked pretty.
But it was impossible for me to leave at this time, and it was impossible for me to blame the president. After all, it had been arranged long ago.
The main reason I regretted it was that I was worried about being misunderstood by others. Some people were already making irresponsible remarks about what happened last time. But then I thought: It doesn’t matter, there are so many men here, not to mention the fact that Political Commissar Liu is here
, he is also a member of the Standing Committee.
These women actually knew me. When they arrived, they all greeted me warmly, and then went to call Political Commissar Liu with a smile. I smiled and said to them: "Sit down, everyone. You can toast two more glasses to the guests later."
."
Director Liu, who came from the provincial bank, said: "Mayor Feng, this is not okay. I have heard a saying: Beer night is a paradise for friends to get together. Under normal circumstances, if we are not friends, we will not drink together.
Night beer, because night beer usually continues after dinner, in this case, you are basically drunk, and it is the easiest time to talk nonsense. Only when friends are together, some words will not be spread.
Mayor Feng, we have been sitting together drinking beer all night, so we are friends. Don’t you think so? So we should drink fairly. The most important thing between friends is fairness, don’t you think so?”
This director is very good at talking and building relationships. He is a seasoned person. I thought to myself. Then I smiled and said, "That makes sense."
The beer and food came quickly, and our night beer began. I found that everyone here was a good drinker, especially the women, who drank beer more generously than us men.
I drank until almost midnight. At this time, I remembered that I had something to do tomorrow, so I said to them: "There is a very important event in the city tomorrow, and I am responsible for arranging it. So that's it for today."
The president said: "Mayor Feng, I know about this matter. You can just ask the people below to do those things. Why do you need to come forward in person? I also arranged for singing, and we went to the KTV in the military division.
Let’s wake up. Empty the beer in your stomach and then go back to rest. This will make it easier to fall asleep.”
I immediately shook my head and said with a smile: "I know, you have to drink when you get to that place. You go, isn't Political Commissar Liu here? From now on, you have to take care of the business there. I have to go back immediately. Two
Director, I'm sorry, I really have something to do tomorrow."
After hearing what I said, they didn't have much to say.
I noticed that Political Commissar Liu was drinking with a few women just now. He seemed to be very interested in them. But at this time, when I told Political Commissar Liu that he wanted to sing with them, he did not object.
We left the place immediately, and I broke up with them at the place where we had parked our cars, and started walking back.
The night in late autumn is very cool, the lights on the street are a little dim, and there are fewer pedestrians. However, I find that I like this kind of night, and I also feel that enjoying this kind of solitude can make me sober.
The next morning I got up very early as usual, then went to the government canteen to have breakfast, and then went to the office to sit for a while. At 8:30, I took Qiu Huiyuan and the others with me.
The scene of the signing ceremony.
I checked the situation again and found nothing wrong. At nine o'clock, workers in work clothes arrived at the scene. They lined up in several squares according to the color of their clothes. Children from school also came.
, they were holding flowers in their hands, and they were all wearing makeup, and their rosy faces looked so cute.
Everything is so perfect.
But what I didn't expect was that something happened during the signing ceremony in the morning, something big happened. (To be continued)
