Then Kangdemao raised his glass and said: "Today I am very happy to invite several leaders from my hometown to have a drink together. Every time I return to my hometown, you all receive me so warmly. I, Kangdemao, can't thank you enough. Originally, today
My classmate Feng Xiao should sit in my position, because he is the most qualified. But I think that the leaders are not familiar with him yet, so I will be the host for now. Next time, he will call the meeting
Everyone is fine."
"Oh? Why is this?" County Magistrate Long asked in surprise.
"I suggest that everyone drink this glass of wine, and I will explain after drinking." Kang Demao said.
"This is not okay. Kang Mi, you will make us rude." County Magistrate Long said with a smile.
"It's like this. Feng Xiao and I are classmates, and he is also my great matchmaker. Think about it, if it weren't for him, wouldn't I still be a bachelor now? This person's affairs have not been resolved, how can I let me work with peace of mind?
"Kang Demao said with a smile.
"Haha! That makes sense!" County Magistrate Long laughed.
Of course I knew that Kang Demao's words had a deeper meaning, and there must be more to it, so I just smiled faintly and drank the wine together with everyone else.
"Feng Xiao, we two classmates are going to pay homage to the leaders of our hometowns in turn. I will start from the head of Long County and leave, and you will pay homage to the two deputy county heads first." Kang Demao said to me next. I nodded my head and agreed.
I still understand the rules of toasting. On occasions like this, I should stand up and walk to the right side of the guests to stand and toast them one by one. So I immediately picked up the wine glass and went to Kang Demao's left side to toast the deputy county magistrate.
He didn't stand up, but he was still very polite.
Then I went to pay homage to the next deputy county magistrate, and he was still the same.
What I didn't expect was that those directors would sit and drink with me in such arrogant ways, especially the director of Radio, Film and Television. He started drinking without even looking at me. After I finished drinking, I found something in his cup.
There was still more than half a cup. I couldn't help but feel a little angry, but suddenly I found Kang Demao shaking his head slightly at me. I suddenly remembered what he had told me before, so I had to force myself to hold it back.
The last person I paid my respects to in this round was County Magistrate Long. What moved me so much was that he stood up immediately.
"Magistrate Long, you are my father-in-law, and I sincerely toast to you. I hope you will visit us often in the future. Demao and I are old classmates, and the friends he recognizes are my friends," I said.
"Okay, I like what you said. Thank you." County Magistrate Long laughed and drank it generously. I drank it too.
Next, Kang Demao said: "County Magistrate Long, fellow leaders, I just introduced part of the relationship between my old classmate and me. To tell you the truth, he gave me the position of secretary to the provincial governor.
."
There was a sudden sound of surprise on the table. County Magistrate Long even looked surprised, "Really? Isn't he a doctor?"
"That's right. Governor Huang fell in love with him at first, but he rejected him. Or maybe he thought Governor Huang recommended me. Otherwise, where would I be today?" Kang Demao said with a smile.
To be honest, it was only then that I felt warm in my heart. Now I realize that being despised by others is such an unbearable thing.
County Magistrate Long came to see me, "Professor Feng, is what Secretary Kang said true?"
I smiled lightly, "The main reason is that he is better. I am not a secretary, let alone an official."
"You can't tell, but our Professor Feng has so much energy at such a young age. It's really a pleasure to meet you today. Brother Feng, you have become a professor at such a young age. Let me tell you, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Come, let me
Here’s a toast to my brother, I hope you can recognize me as your friend from now on.” County Magistrate Long immediately raised his glass and said to me.
"It's a great honor," I said, and toasted with him.
The other people were about to make a move, but Kang Demao continued, "I haven't finished the introduction yet."
"Kang Mi, aren't you harming us? Professor Feng has such a great background, why didn't you introduce him clearly in the first place?" the two deputy county magistrates said with a smile.
I found that the directors were all smiling at me, with flattering expressions on their faces. Especially the director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, his face had completely changed, and there was a kind of eagerness in his flattering eyes.
"That's it. Brother Kang, you are not kind enough." County Magistrate Long also said with a smile.
"The main reason is that my classmate usually keeps a low profile. If he hadn't had a few glasses of wine just now, I might have continued to keep his secret," Kang Demao said.
At this time I knew it was time for me to speak, "That's what you are like, I'm just a little doctor, and you always like to exaggerate."
Kang Demao smiled and said: "Don't interrupt. Magistrate Long, to be honest, among all my classmates, the one I admire most is Feng Xiao. Not only is he the richest man in our Jiangnan and the son-in-law of Chairman Lin of Jiangnan Group, but he is also Huang
He is a person whom the governor thinks highly of. Although I have only become Governor Huang's secretary not long ago, I have already heard Governor Huang praise him in front of me more than once. It is a pity that he is unwilling to enter politics, otherwise his future will be really difficult.
Limited. But now he is considered a very powerful person. He is an expert at a young age. He is also the director of the department of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital and will soon be the tutor of master's students. County Magistrate Long, he is the real pride of our hometown.
"
At first I was very happy when I heard Kang Demao praise me, but now I feel a little embarrassed because I don't think I am as powerful as he said.
"Jiangnan Group? Brother Feng actually has such an identity?" County Magistrate Long looked surprised, then he held a cup and said to me: "It's really a real person who doesn't show his face. That's great, Brother Feng, you have to remember your hometown.
, our development there still needs more support from you in the future."
I was a little embarrassed, but I couldn't show it, so I had to smile at him and said, "As long as you have any instructions, I will try my best to do it after you give it."
Kang Demao was beside him, fanning the flames and saying, "County Magistrate Long, my classmate has an advantage. He will definitely find a way to do whatever he agrees to."
"That's great. Brother Feng, are you free tomorrow night? I would like to treat you to a meal." Long County Chief said happily.
I secretly blamed Kang Demao for being troublesome, but it was hard to refuse at this point, "County Magistrate Long, you are the parent official of my hometown, so be it, I will treat you tomorrow."
"Yes, let him treat us. Magistrate Long, this classmate of mine is also a small rich man." Kang Demao said.
I really want to kick him, because I think he has gone too far, and he is not like he used to be. Did he become reckless after becoming the secretary of the provincial leader? It shouldn't be? Thinking of this,
I hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Long, it's settled. If you don't let me treat you, then I may have other arrangements tomorrow."
"Okay. Then I'd like to thank you first. That's great, brother Kang, you will also accompany me for a glass of wine. Thank you for introducing brother Feng to let us know each other, haha! I was worried, now it's okay, our county's
It seems that the matter can be resolved." County Magistrate Long said happily.
The three of us drank the wine in the glass, and then I asked County Magistrate Long: "County Magistrate Long, what's going on? What makes you so anxious?"
"Don't talk about work now. Let's talk slowly tomorrow night. Today I specially invited all the leaders to have a drink." Kang Demao said immediately.
"Yes, let's talk slowly tomorrow." County Magistrate Long also said hurriedly.
Then the situation changed fundamentally. The two deputy county magistrates and the directors actually came up behind me and toasted my drink. Of course I would not behave so unqualified, so I stood up one by one.
Go and have a drink with them. Even to the Director of Radio, Film and Television, I was still so polite.
I found that being polite to people who don't respect me makes me feel more superior, because forgiving the other person is actually a gift.
Everyone was in high spirits after drinking this drink. Kang Demao did not pay the bill, but just signed it. Magistrate Long looked at him with a different look. In fact, I felt the same way, because I also felt it.
Kang Demao does not have an ordinary status in the provincial government. At least his signature made me feel this way.
When I got downstairs, I took the initiative to shake hands with them and say goodbye. Except for the three county magistrates, everyone else bent towards me when shaking hands with me.
I got into my car and found that the way they looked at me was even different. I knew that their eyes were directed at my car.
Now I really feel what Kang Demao said to me: these officials are really interesting.
Not far after driving the car, I received a call from Kang Demao, "Let's go have a beer."
"Are you still drinking?" I asked, and then I realized that he deliberately asked me to drive away first, so that I could show off.
"We haven't talked about business yet. Otherwise, your guest tomorrow night will be in vain?" He smiled.
I laughed, "I knew you had other plans. Well, I have a food stall right here. Come over quickly."
"No, you'll be back soon. It's the same private room as before. I've asked the waiter to serve a few more dishes to go with the wine. It's safe to talk about things here," he said.
I thought so, and at the same time I knew in my heart that what he was about to talk to me about was definitely something serious.
We returned to the elegant room again, just the two of us. The dishes in front of the table had already been taken away, and now there were several exquisite cold dishes and stir-fried vegetarian dishes, as well as beer.
"Tell me, you guy, today really opened my eyes. Haha!" I raised my glass to him and laughed at the same time.
"This is what officials are like. Whether they are officials from small places or our provincial capitals, it is like this. To put it bluntly, this is called looking down on others. Feng Xiao, do you know why I want you to see this scene today?" He
explain.
"Didn't you say that? Let me understand what an official is, and at the same time let me understand you better." I replied, "De Mao, I really understand you now, and I hope you will be different from them in the future."
He shook his head, "A person's power is very limited. Maybe I will fail in the end. But I think if I was given a place, I would try my best to change the official atmosphere of that place. Maybe I am still too idealistic, but
I am willing to sacrifice myself for this attempt.” (To be continued)
