The place where the Health Bureau invited Director Zou to eat was at a restaurant, not far from the hotel I just went to.
When I got to the private room there, I found that the main seat was reserved for me, but they had already started drinking, and of course Mayor Zhu, who is in charge of health in our city, was also there.
After I entered, everyone stood up. Director Sun of the Health Bureau said to me: "Mayor Feng, we are not waiting for you anymore."
I smiled and said, "That's how it should be." Then I glanced at the seat of honor and immediately said to Director Zou: "Old leader, if you don't take this seat, I will have to stand and drink with you."
Director Zou said: "You are the local official, and today you are the master. Of course, you can only sit in this seat."
I smiled and shook my head and said: "Today's host is our Mayor Zhu. But Director Zou, you have the highest rank here, not to mention you are still my old leader, so you can only sit in that seat. Don't refuse,
Otherwise, I really can only stand and accompany you."
Mayor Zhu smiled and said: "I think Mayor Feng is right. Leader, please sit over. I happen to be closer to you."
Director Zou smiled and said, "Okay, it's such an honor to be able to sit next to the beautiful mayor."
Then he moved to the main seat and sat down. The waiter also moved his bowls and chopsticks over, and I went to sit in the seat where he had just been. After sitting down, I said with a smile: "Mayor Zhu, this is a woman.
Okay, I'm sitting next to the leader too, why doesn't he say I'm honored?"
Director Zou suddenly laughed, "Xiao Feng, I noticed that you have changed a lot. You didn't seem to like joking much before?"
Mayor Zhu smiled and said: "Actually, Mayor Feng doesn't like to joke very much now. Maybe he was too happy after seeing you today?"
I smiled and said, "That's true. I'm so happy today. But Director Zou, I'm really sorry for you. I didn't come to stay with you until now. I've already drank seven or eight taels of white wine. Can you please
Just take care of me."
Director Zou smiled and said: "That won't work. I have never seen you drunk before. I have to let you drink more today. And I see that you don't look drunk at all now. Xiao Feng, I found out
You can drink a lot now."
I shook my head and said, "I really can't. I guess I was too happy today, so I didn't feel drunk. My classmates also came to our Shangjiang City today. They are Kang Demao from the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and former Governor Huang.
Secretary, you know Director Zou."
Director Zou nodded, "Of course I know him. I haven't had a drink with him for a long time."
I smiled and said: "I have arranged a beer night, let's drink some together then. You should protect me even more at this time, otherwise, if you get drunk, you won't be able to do the next one."
Director Zou laughed, "I've been fooled by you. But it's okay, I guess you did drink a little too much today. Then we can just drink whatever we want."
But I still picked up the wine glass and went to toast him, "Anyway, I have to toast you this glass of wine. Come, old leader, I wish you good health and all the best."
He smiled and said: "I love hearing this. Good health is more important than anything else."
After we drank, Director Sun said to me: "Mayor Feng, I'll go ahead and make arrangements for the night beer. Where do you think we should go?"
I said, "Let's find a quiet place. Anyway, I won't go to the food stalls. People talk too much. Maybe there will be rumors tomorrow."
At this time, Xiao Qianhua said: "I know a good place. There is a bar next to the city TV station. It is very quiet there. Then we can buy some braised vegetables and go there, and we can also sing and so on."
I looked at Director Sun, "Really?"
Director Sun shook his head and said: "I have never been to that place. But I have heard of it. It was opened by a staff member of the TV station, but the business is not very good."
I smiled and said: "Business is not good? That's the most suitable place for us today. Let's go there."
Although I said I won’t drink, it’s impossible not to drink on such an occasion. At least you have to greet all the guests and accept their return.
Later, Mayor Zhu also came to offer me a drink. After all, we were members of the same team, so it was hard to refuse, so I had to drink it with a smile.
But what I didn't expect was that Xiao Qianhua also came to toast me. She picked up her wine glass and stood up and said to me: "Mayor Feng, thank you for your concern for me, especially when I was working in the industrial park.
You really helped me a lot.”
I smiled bitterly and said to her: "Don't blame me for criticizing you too much."
She smiled and said: "How could it be? I know that Mayor Feng rarely criticizes people. You criticize me for my own good."
Since she said so, I had no choice but to drink it.
But Director Sun was very sensible. He said to me: "Mayor Feng, I don't respect you now. I will respect you again later when we have a beer."
I smiled and said, "Thank you."
Mayor Zhu disagreed, "Director Sun, you are so ignorant. How can you disrespect Mayor Feng? Will your Health Bureau still need working funds in the future?"
I smiled bitterly and said to Director Zou: "You see, in the eyes of Mayor Zhu, I am such a person: people only give me money when they toast me."
Mayor Zhu immediately laughed, "That's not what I meant."
Director Zou laughed, "Why do I think that's what it means? Forget it, let Mayor Feng drink less, otherwise the next game won't be fun."
Mayor Zhu said dissatisfiedly: "Director Zou, you take too much care of our Mayor Feng."
Director Zou smiled and said, "Actually, you should take care of him more. Mayor Feng is still single. It would be very uncomfortable if he is drunk."
Mayor Zhu immediately laughed, "Okay, I'll find a way to introduce one to our Mayor Feng as soon as possible."
I hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this matter, okay? I've been married twice, and I'm talking as if I'm still young."
But Mayor Zhu said to me very seriously: "Mayor Feng, marriage is very important to a person, especially you men, you must have a woman to take care of you. Don't delay this matter any longer."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: women are women, and they always have a kind of motherly love for others. Of course I understood that her words were a kind intention. I hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this matter. My only task now is to
I won’t think about raising my children and marriage for the time being. My first two wives are dead, how can I still have such thoughts? You don’t understand my situation. Stop talking... Director Zou
, it’s you, why did you bring the topic to this? It feels like it’s a big sin for me to be single now.”
Director Zou immediately laughed, "It's not my fault. I'll punish myself with a drink."
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to clink glasses with him, "I'll accompany you."
When I was talking about this matter just now, I noticed that Xiao Qianhua seemed to have been thinking deeply about something. I have always been wary of this woman in my heart, and I knew in my heart that she was now Secretary Chen's woman.
I also know better that such a woman is absolutely untouchable.
After dinner, Director Zou arranged for several of his entourages to rest, and then we went to the bar next to the TV station that Xiao Qianhua mentioned.
Mayor Zhu jokingly said to us: "You go to a bar, and I have to go back to rest. I am different from you men. I have to go back and exercise, otherwise I will gain weight."
I said to her hypocritically: "Let's go together."
She shook her head and said: "Forget it. If you drink beer again, you will at least gain a few pounds tomorrow."
I smiled and said, "Okay. Haha! Losing weight is an eternal topic for you women."
Everyone laughs.
In fact, we don't want her to go. After all, her identity is there. It's not fun for a woman to have an identity. Her reserve will affect everyone's emotions.
Fortunately, she understands this herself.
I called Kangdemo and asked the driver to pick him up.
Before going to the bar, I said something to Director Sun: "It's best to invite a few lesbians to accompany us to drink. Just drink and sing, otherwise it will be too deserted."
At this time, Xiao Qianhua said: "Mayor Feng, I will make arrangements."
I immediately told her, "Don't look for someone with low quality?"
She smiled and said, "Don't worry."
I immediately felt that my words were a bit redundant. In fact, I have already discovered a phenomenon: beautiful women often have beautiful best friends. This is actually a phenomenon where birds of a feather flock together.
The driver quickly picked up Kangdemao.
This bar is not far from the city TV station. It is really quiet inside, so quiet that there is not a single person in sight.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Why are we still doing this kind of business?
However, Xiao Qianhua's words immediately cleared up this doubt in my mind. She said to me: "This place is going to close down. It was only after I made a call that it opened temporarily."
I looked at her, "Oh? Is your friend running this place?"
She nodded, "We people in Shangjiang City are not used to sitting in bars, so business can't be good. I even mentioned this matter at the time, but he didn't listen."
Just as we were talking, a beautiful woman appeared in front of us, "Mayor Feng, welcome to my bar."
I suddenly felt that this woman looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her, so I asked Xiao Qianhua, "Who is this..."
Xiao Qianhua introduced me with a smile: "Mayor Feng, you don't know her? She is the owner of this bar and the female announcer of our city TV station."
Then I suddenly thought about it, "Oh, let me tell you, why do you look so familiar? It turns out that I have seen you on TV many times. Your name is... Zhu Dan, right?"
She immediately smiled at me, showing her white teeth, "Yes. Mayor Feng didn't even come to our TV station to care about us."
I laughed, "Let's take care of your bar first today."
Then a few tables were set up in the bar, and the office director of the Health Bureau bought braised vegetables. The beer was provided by the bar.
Zhu Dan called two more beautiful women, and she introduced them as teachers from a primary school in the city. (To be continued)
