After getting on the bus, we merged into the traffic jam again. I couldn't help but sigh, "The traffic jam in Beijing is too severe. Director Hou, won't this make it more difficult for you to perform your tasks?"
He smiled and said: "Yes. But Mayor Feng should know that we can control traffic. In fact, our security work is mainly aimed at foreign heads of state, and ensuring their safety is the most important. Our country's
Leaders are deeply loved by the people, and their safety is not a problem."
His words made the director of the Beijing Office and I couldn't help laughing.
Director Hou laughed again: "The traffic jams in Beijing are getting worse and worse now. It is said that many people take empty mineral water bottles with them when taking the bus, just in case they can't help themselves. Later, foreigners also learned this, but they don't use mineral water.
Instead of a water bottle, use NutriExpress.”
I didn’t understand why, “Why? Are Nutrition Express bottles bigger?”
He shook his head and told me seriously: "The mouth of the bottle is much larger."
I understood immediately and couldn't help but laugh. But the director of the Beijing Office laughed in a catering way, and I couldn't help thinking: It seems that he has known this joke for a long time, and it's just that I am ignorant.
The director of the Beijing Office then said: "I was thinking, what should lesbians do?"
Director Hou laughed, "This is really a problem."
I suddenly thought of a way, "It's very simple, just use diapers."
They all laughed immediately.
We were chatting and laughing all the way, and we didn’t feel that the traffic jam was that annoying. However, the journey still took us more than an hour. When we arrived at the Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing, it was already completely dark, and the capital had entered the night.
Brilliant.
The Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing has a very good location. Even in such an international metropolis, it seems a bit deserted. In the night, under the dim lights, there is a tranquility like a paradise.
Governor Huang was already waiting outside the gate of the Beijing Office, and of course there were staff from the Beijing Office accompanying him.
After the car stopped, Governor Huang personally came to open the door for Director Hou. Director Hou laughed heartily when he got outside the car, "Director Huang, you, the great governor, came to open the door for me personally. It's really embarrassing."
It's me!"
Governor Huang also smiled and said: "We are friends, what kind of governor is not the governor? What you said is too foreign." Then he went to shake hands with him, and then a group of people surrounded the two of them and walked towards the Beijing Office.
go.
There were only five people sitting at the table, and one was also from the Beijing Office. Director Hou smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, your Director Piao Xiaosu is not bad at drinking. Why is she not here today?"
Governor Huang looked at me and said, "Call her and ask her to come."
I hesitated for a moment, because Director Hou did not mention our director of the National Development and Reform Commission. But I immediately decided that I am the superior, and I can call anyone or not. I picked up the phone and called Su Wen, "
You can take a taxi immediately and come to our Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing, you are the only one."
Director Hou did not remind me, but I immediately understood that our director of the National Development and Reform Commission had left a very bad impression on him that night.
We did not wait for Su Wen, after all, her level was too low. The dishes and Maotai wine were quickly placed on the table.
Governor Huang raised his glass and said, "Director Hou, let's first toast you together and thank you for your support of various tasks in our hometown over the years. Especially recently, several of our projects in Jiangnan Province have been completed with your strong support.
If it is approved, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Jiangnan."
Director Hou waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Governor Huang, I don't agree with your words. I am from Jiangnan. When I came here today, it felt like I was back home. You are my parent, and I should respect you. The project's director
This is what I should do, and as a Jiangnan person, it is also my duty to be able to do something for my hometown."
Governor Huang laughed and said, "Okay, let's have a drink together."
Next, Governor Huang took some food to Director Hou and said with a smile: "This is the etiquette of my hometown. Let's start by serving food to the guests. Although Director Hou is from our Jiangnan Province, you have been working in Beijing for a long time after all.
Today is also the second time you have come to our office in Beijing, so you are still a guest to us."
Director Hou didn't say anything more this time. Instead, he looked a little touched, "Thank you, Governor Huang. I like this custom in my hometown. This custom makes me feel very warm."
After three glasses of wine, Su Wen arrived. She came quite quickly. She was panting a little when she came in, and said to us apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
I hurriedly led her to the table, "You already know Director Hou..."
He smiled and stretched out his hand to Director Hou, "Good leader."
Director Hou shook hands with her and laughed, "I like Director Xiao Su's drinking style. It's more refreshing than many men."
I then introduced Su Wen: "This is Governor Huang."
Su Wen suddenly became nervous and hurriedly went to Governor Huang and said, "Hello, leader, I've seen you on TV."
Governor Huang immediately laughed, "I have become a star? Xiao Su, you are unfair to me. You took the initiative to shake hands with Director Hou. Why did you put your hands behind your back when you were in front of me?"
Everyone laughed.
Su Wen said shyly: "This is the first time I see you, and I feel a little scared."
Governor Huang laughed again, "Yes, it turns out it's a tiger."
After everyone laughed again, I introduced the two leaders of the Beijing Office to her. Then I guided her to sit on the empty seat.
At this time Director Hou said: "Xiao Su, we have finished the three glasses of wine in front of us, what should you do?"
Su Wen said cheerfully: "I'll just drink three cups."
Everyone applauded. Director Hou smiled and said: "How is it? I'm telling you right? Director Xiao Su is really a woman who cannot be compared to men."
Su Wen drank three glasses of wine immediately, and everyone applauded again. Governor Huang gave her some food, "Eat something, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach."
Su Wen couldn't help but thank her, but still looked a little uncomfortable.
Next, the Director of the Liaison Office in Beijing went to pay homage to Director Hou first, and then to Governor Huang, me, and Su Wen. I followed him and started to toast Director Hou’s wine. I was about to speak, but Director Hou turned to him.
I waved my hand and said: "Let's not say those polite words between us. Come on, just one word: drink!"
I also laughed and said, "Drink!"
After we both drank, Director Hou said to Governor Huang: "Old Huang, you don't know, Mayor Feng and I really hit it off. I think I have to toast you today, just for Mayor Feng."
I was suddenly surprised, and Governor Huang also looked very strange, "Hey! I'm talking about Lao Hou, why can't I understand what you are saying? You and Xiao Feng hit it off immediately, why do you come to respect me?" (To be completed)
