The waiter served the dishes quickly, and soon the tables were filled. The main dishes were all fish, spicy, pickled pepper, braised, steamed, etc. Of course, the types of fish were different.
, there are silver carp, yellow chili dices, carp, etc. No need to ask, they must be wild fish from the river. In addition, there are some cold dishes.
It is impossible for us to finish all these dishes, but this is a need and atmosphere, and only in this way can it be consistent with the identity of Secretary Wu. Just imagine, if there are only a few simple dishes on the table, wouldn’t it look like
Too shabby?
Secretary Wu smiled and asked me: "How about brother Feng, let's have some beer? You just came back from abroad. I was supposed to be the one to pick you up, but I know you, the mayor, are very busy, so I didn't contact you."
You, and we don’t need to be so polite with each other. Right? It’s a good night, so let’s take this opportunity to greet you.”
I smiled and said, "Actually, I should treat you to dinner. This time I am visiting on behalf of the Medical University, and I am going as a professor of the Medical University. You are the leader of the Medical University, so I should thank you."
He smiled and said: "It is our honor for you, the mayor, to serve as a visiting professor at our medical university. Let's not be polite to each other. It's settled like this. Let's take care of you today. Director Qin, let's
The waiter brings the beer."
The beer was brought quickly, and one was brought first. Secretary Wu said boldly: "Open them all, and give each of us a bottle first."
At this time Chenchen said: "Secretary Wu, I'm sorry, I can't drink."
I immediately helped her and said, "She has a stomach problem and cannot drink."
Secretary Wu smiled and said: "Okay, but you have to ask Brother Feng to help her drink her wine?"
I smiled and said, "That's okay. Just do whatever you want."
I was thinking to myself, anyway, I didn’t drink much when Zhong Feng and I were together tonight. Although the white flower dew has a greater stamina, I didn’t drink too much after all. And I see that these people have almost drunk enough, so I guess I can help.
If I drink it every morning, there won’t be any problems. I’ll just call the driver and ask him to drive my car.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Bai Qing say: "Secretary Wu, don't let Mayor Feng drink so much. Let's do this. If Sister Chenchen doesn't drink, I will."
Secretary Wu laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, I really envy you. This is a beauty saving a hero! Being young is good!"
The people who came with him were all laughing.
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Wu, don't say that, I'm not young anymore."
But he shook his head and said: "You are not young yet? You are already the mayor of a prefecture-level city in your thirties. How many people can be a department-level cadre like you? What's more, you are single.
He is simply a diamond king."
It seemed that he really drank too much, and for people who drink too much, they often don’t pay attention to specific words when they are excited, especially at this private wine table. I hurriedly said:
Raise a glass to him, "Secretary Wu, let me toast you first. I wish you a happy weekend."
He waved his hand at me and said, "No, this first glass of wine should be given to you by all of us. Didn't I say before that I would take this opportunity tonight to catch you up?"
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief: I finally changed the topic. I smiled and said, "That's okay. Thank you, Secretary Wu, and thank you all the division chiefs." At this time, I saw Chenchen and Bai Qing raising their glasses.
It’s just that the morning cup contains tea. “Thank you both too.”
After drinking the wine, everyone started to eat. I noticed that Chenchen next to me was still a little cautious, so I immediately gave her a piece of yellow pepper and said, "You can eat whatever you want. Secretary Wu is the one who eats it anyway. The medical university has a lot of money."
, they can’t eat enough.”
Secretary Wu and everyone else laughed. Chenchen also laughed.
Then I also gave Bai Qing a piece of garlic-roasted silver carp.
Secretary Wu said to me: "Mayor Feng, tell us about your experience in Australia this time."
I suddenly felt that his words seemed to have a deeper meaning, so I nodded and said: "I don't know much, mainly because I am too short on time. So I first talked about our visit to the University of Sydney. Of course,
What I'm talking about is mainly based on what I can tell from the information, because my visit this time was just a formality.
I talked in detail, mainly about the University of Sydney, especially some of the achievements of their medical school. Finally, I said: "I also invited several professors who hosted us this time to Jiangnan Medical University for exchanges. I hope that through this
This is a way to establish good academic relationships with them. This is beneficial to the development of both of us."
Secretary Wu nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, you did a great thing for us when you went out this time. After a while, we will take the initiative to send invitation letters to each other, and then our school will receive them well."
Then I briefly introduced the scenery of Sydney and other things, mainly talking about our visit to the Sydney Opera House to watch a performance. I smiled and said: "Actually, people like me are just pretending to go to places like that.
Just to show that I have been there. Because I don’t understand what they are singing at all.”
Everyone laughs.
I added: "Actually, the two people sitting next to me should really go there. They are the ones who can understand. I also listened to an opera when I went to Austria last time.
I didn’t understand either.”
Everyone laughed again.
At this time Chenchen said: "Not to mention, I really want to listen to an opera there in the future."
Bai Qing also said: "Yes, that is our biggest dream when learning music."
I raised my glass to them, "Cheers to your dreams."
Chenchen smiled at me and drank the tea in one gulp. Bai Qing drank the wine in her glass.
I drank a lot of beer in the evening. After all, there were a lot of people at Secretary Wu's place. But I found that I was still sober. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I don't get drunk easily after drinking beer.
Bai Qing has a good drinking capacity and has a rather bold personality. She toasted several glasses of wine to Secretary Wu, and later toasted two glasses to each director. In addition, she also toasted several glasses to me.
Secretary Wu got drunk later and it was he who suggested leaving. I found that the food on the table was barely moved.
When we were leaving, Chenchen whispered to me: "What a waste."
My heart moved, and I immediately asked her in a low voice: "You don't seem to be eating much, right? Bai Qing is the same."
She nodded.
I smiled and immediately told the waiter in a low voice, "Don't take away the dishes from the table, we will be back soon. Please heat up the dishes for us."
When we got outside, I shook hands with Secretary Wu and the others and said goodbye. Then, after they left, I, Chenchen, and Bai Qing returned to the private room where we were sitting just now.
The waiter has cleared the table for us and is taking the dishes to the kitchen to heat them up.
Bai Qing said with a smile: "I was drinking just now, so I didn't eat much food. Now it's better, we can eat slowly."
Chenchen also laughed immediately, "That's right. I watched you drinking, and even if you didn't drink, you would feel drunk."
I looked at her and said, "I remember you used to drink. But you don't drink anymore, right?"
She nodded, "I don't dare to drink anymore. My stomach hurts after drinking it."
I said to her: "You'd better go check it out and see what the problem is."
She shook her head, "It's not a big problem, it's just gastritis."
I said: "If you have frequent stomach pain, it is not necessarily a problem of gastritis. It may also be an ulcer. Go get a gastroscopy and then take medicine according to your condition. Only in this way will the effect be better."
She was still shaking her head, "I'm afraid of doing that kind of examination. I won't be able to bear it."
I smiled and said, "This is because you don't understand the current development of medicine. Nowadays, there is a painless gastroscopy, which first anesthetizes you and then does it. The examination is completed before you know it, and you wake up."
You will also feel a sense of euphoria afterwards.”
She immediately laughed, "You seemed to have told me before, but I still didn't dare to go."
I said: "If you need it, I will help you contact a doctor. If you are familiar with it, I will check you more carefully."
She hesitated and said, "Let me think about it, I'm still a little scared."
I smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can call me after you think about it, and I will contact the doctor for you right away. Come on, you can eat. I have eaten enough today, so please take it easy."
They started to eat, and Chenchen said: "You are too wasteful, there is so much left on this table. I noticed when I was paying the bill just now, this table of food cost nearly two thousand yuan! It's not about money, the problem is
There are all these dishes left, it’s really a waste. It’s really the country’s money that doesn’t feel bad.”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You don't understand this. It's just like inviting friends to dinner. It can't be too simple, right? The reason is the same. In the end, it's all for the sake of face, and it's also a necessity.
, because people who are leaders pay attention to their own face at all times."
Chenchen asked me: "Are you like this too?"
I smiled and nodded: "It depends. If I were asked to order tonight... I mean, if Secretary Wu and the others were here and it was me treating them, I would do the same."
Of course, I may not necessarily take the invoice back for payment, but this dish must be ordered in this way, otherwise they will probably be dissatisfied with me in their hearts, because this way reflects hospitality and is also a sign of respect.
A kind of respect from the guests.”
Chenchen smiled and said to me: "I understand, you mean, if it were the three of us, you wouldn't do that. Right?"
I nodded and said, "Definitely not. We are friends, and the more casual we can be, the better. What I do in front of you is just to show off, and you will think I am like a nouveau riche. Right?"
