He smiled slightly at me and said, "I already know what happened. I called Governor Huang again in the evening and he told me everything."
His words surprised me because I didn't expect that he had already asked Governor Huang. But I immediately understood that as a person of his status, he would definitely think that I, the mayor, would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
reason.
I am very grateful to him in my heart, because this also shows that he attaches great importance to my visit to Beijing. Although his rank is only the main hall, his position is extremely important. As the mayor, I am completely incomparable to him.
Same thing.
At this time, I was very moved and anxious at the same time, so I hurriedly asked him: "So, do you think this is possible?"
He raised his glass to me and said, "Come on, let's drink this glass of wine before we talk. Director Xiao Su, please drink it with us."
Immediately, he looked at our director of the National Development and Reform Commission, but said nothing. I immediately said to the director of the National Development and Reform Commission: "You have to drink this glass of wine no matter what. If you get drunk, I will send you there later."
Hospital."
Director Hou said with a smile: "Drink half of it. If you drink until you are hospitalized, happy events will turn into unhappy events."
I was secretly happy in my heart. In fact, what I just said was what I had to say, because there were only four of us, and in the atmosphere just now, we should have toasted together.
However, my words were spoken very skillfully, so Director Hou had to be a little tolerant to him. Originally, I hoped that Director Hou would only let him drink as much as he wanted, but unexpectedly he still asked him to drink half of it. From this, it seems that Director Hou is really a good person.
He is addicted to alcohol, and he must often judge and demand others based on his drinking.
From this, I can't help but think of a general. He has such a character——
Xu Shiyou. This legendary general regarded drinking as one of the important signs of whether a person was honest or generous, and whether he was generous or bold. Especially in his prime, he would place a large empty bowl in the middle of the table, which was called a penalty for every drop of wine. Behind him stood
A guard, called the wine supervisor, not only monitors who is cheating, but also performs the task of punishing people with alcohol. The guards dare to offend generals at the same level as Commander Xu, which is called "each his own."
Some generals who have suffered hardships and were forced to drink fine wine will inevitably speak out, and someone will inevitably complain to the Prime Minister.
Zhou Enlai was good at handling the most complex conflicts, and different people used different methods. For example, Xu Shiyou, except Chairman Mao, would not listen to anyone else. He had a fiery temperament, and even Boss Peng, who was respected by the entire army, said
Let him score three points.
For such comrades, simple criticism will not solve the problem, the effect of persuasion will not be great, and it is difficult to say whether it is light or serious. However, the Prime Minister knows well that once this kind of loyal person with special experience is convinced, he will say
Do it.
Later, once Xu Shiyou went to Beijing for a meeting, Premier Zhou invited him to have a drink. As a result, when the two of them drank two bottles of Maotai at the wine table, Xu Shiyou was already very drunk. At this time, Premier Zhou asked the waiter to bring some
After two bottles of wine, Xu Shiyou hurriedly said he would not drink any more. Premier Zhou said to Xu Shiyou very unhappily: "Commander Xu, get up, stand up.
Soldiers, you have to work while you are alive, and you will be considered dead. If you cut off your head, it will only leave a scar the size of a bowl. Heroes drink, and bears drink water. If I treat you to a drink, you won’t even give me face? It’s so ungrateful..." He said and took a sip.
Drain the wine from the glass.
These words were all Xu Shiyou's common words for persuading people to drink. Today, Zhou Enlai used them one by one. But Xu Shiyou could not be "heroic", "righteous" and "give face". He spit out the smell of alcohol and said: "I lost! I
, I kowtow to the Prime Minister!”
Zhou Enlai supported Xu Shiyou and said to Xu Shiyou: "Then I tell you, you can't force others to drink. You can't put empty bowls on the table, and you can't have a wine supervisor standing behind you. When gay friends are happy, let's drink together.
Drinking is a good thing, isn't it hurting harmony by forcing others to do something difficult for you?"
From then on, Xu Shiyou drank in a very civilized and restrained manner, and no longer forced others to make things difficult for him, and he no longer imposed any supervision or fines. However, the general died of liver cancer in the end, which was of course related to his long-term drinking.
From this, I suddenly thought of my father, and I felt sad. I said to myself: I used to be a doctor. Although I am no longer in that industry, my medical qualification certificate is still there.
, that is to say, my identity as a doctor still exists. Therefore, I feel that I have a responsibility - I should advise Director Hou to drink as little as possible when there is an opportunity in the future.
Of course, it is definitely not appropriate to persuade him now. After all, we are not familiar with each other yet. If I try to persuade him rashly, it may make him very unhappy. In this case, our intention this time may be ruined.
Already.
At this time, I remembered another thing: a teacher from the Medical University Admissions Office went on a business trip to Xinjiang. One of his classmates who worked in Xinjiang received him. During the dinner, there was a friend of his classmate whose child took the college entrance examination that year.
I hope this teacher can help me.
His classmate's friend had a liver problem, but thinking about his child's college entrance examination, he drank a lot of wine that night. Later, soon after the teacher came back, he learned that his classmate's friend had passed away, and the teacher
I suddenly felt a sense of guilt in my heart.
At that time, at the wine table, his classmate explained to him that his friend could not drink. The teacher also dissuaded him from drinking, but he did not dissuade him. So, when he later got
After hearing the news about that person's death, I immediately understood that his death was probably related to that drinking session.
This teacher is also a medical student, and things like this will probably make it difficult for him to let go of his life.
Therefore, I feel that I must find an opportunity to persuade Director Hou in the future. Of course, it is his own business whether he listens or not. Maybe this is also a kind of selfishness, because if I tell him, even if he really does it in the future,
If something happened to me because of drinking, I wouldn't feel guilty.
We drank the glass of wine together, and the director of the National Development and Reform Commission actually finished it in one gulp, but he immediately slumped in his chair.
Director Hou laughed, "Okay, I like this! Although his drinking capacity is not good, his wine quality is good."
I asked the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, "How are you doing? Are you okay?"
He looked at me with a wry smile, and then looked at Director Hou, but he seemed to be speechless. However, I saw the apology in his eyes when he went to see Director Hou.
I felt a little sorry for the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, thinking that if it hadn't been for this, I would definitely not have let him drink so much. I know how uncomfortable it is when drunk, because I have been drunk more than once before. (To be continued.
