After hesitating for a while, Gao Jiangong finally sat down, but said with an unhappy expression: "I have eaten out so many times, and this is the first time I have sat down at a banquet."
Wang Rubing breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she finally passed this test. She quickly notified the waiter to serve the food.
When she had just reserved a table, she had already ordered the dishes. She didn't dare to let Gao Jiangong order the dishes himself, otherwise the dishes in this club were really expensive. If this guy ordered them, by then
How to end.
Li Changzhi is usually honest and self-disciplined and never accepts gifts or gifts from others. This time he paid for the treat entirely out of his own pocket, and he couldn't afford it if it cost too much.
Soon the waiter brought the dishes to the table. Gao Jiangong glanced at these dishes with a look of contempt in his eyes.
Li Changzhi reached out and grabbed a bottle of hardcover Moutai on the table, opened the lid and poured it first for Gao Jiangong, then he and Wang Rubing also poured a glass.
He raised his glass and said to Gao Jiangong: "Chief Gao, a glass of water and wine is not a sign of respect. I'll give you a toast first. You can do whatever you want with me!"
Normally at the wine table, Li Changzhi would not let a girl like Wang Rubing drink. He said a few polite words and drank the wine in one gulp.
Gao Jiangong didn't drink the wine in front of him, he didn't even pick up the glass, and his expression became even more ugly.
As the person in charge of the real power department, there are many people who invite him to dinner, but this time it is really a bit shabby. Although he stayed at the Huafang Health Club as required, what is his identity, and he is sitting in the hall like ordinary people.
He tolerated this, but the food order was careless, and there were not even a few of the club's signature dishes.
The most important thing is wine. For people with status in the imperial capital, who would drink Maotai Wuliangye? Who wouldn’t drink red wine?
Now I got a bottle of Moutai that is not very old at all to honor myself. If someone sees this, where should I put my face?
As expected, he is from a small place and has no sense of the world. It seems that the money will have to be squeezed again and cannot be distributed to Jiangnan City in the short term.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wine glass and sniffed it gently, then put it on the table again, frowning and said: "I have been in poor health recently. Drinking this kind of Maotai-flavor liquor will be too irritating to the stomach, right?
Stop, I can't drink this wine."
Li Changzhi and Wang Rubing looked at each other. They were not fools, so they naturally heard Gao Jiangong's dissatisfaction. However, they cruelly decided on this bottle of Moutai, which cost them 2,000 Chinese coins.
Wang Rubing's eyes widened, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. This money should have been allocated to Wufeng County, but it has been stuck here for more than half a month, and now she has not seen a penny.
Now Mayor Li pays for the dinner himself, and the food and wine on the table cost him less than half a year's salary. The specifications are considered acceptable, but this old guy actually thinks Maotai is not good.
Li Changzhi glanced at her, indicating that he must suppress his anger, and then said to Gao Jiangong: "I'm so sorry, Chief Gao, I didn't know you were not in good health. Let's change a bottle of red wine right away. I don't know which brand you like to drink?"
"
Gao Jiangong's expression softened a lot and he said to the waiter next to him: "Bring me a bottle of Bordeaux First Growth. This wine tastes pretty good."
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter turned back to the bar and quickly came over with a bottle of red wine written with foreign characters on it. "Sir, can you open it now?"
Although he knew that this wine must be expensive, for the sake of poverty alleviation, Li Changzhi still gritted his teeth and said: "Open it, of course."
The waiter suddenly uncorked the wine bottle, poured a glass for each of the three people, turned around and left.
Gao Jiangong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then nodded with satisfaction, "This wine tastes good, and drinking red wine is good. Red wine is good for health!"
After a while, Wang Rubing secretly went to the bar to take a look at the price of the wine. He was so shocked that he stuck out his tongue. It turned out to be 12,800 for a bottle.
This bastard was so ruthless that he ordered a bottle of wine worth more than 10,000 yuan.
But now that she had finished drinking, she could only hope that the money would not be wasted and that she could take the money back.
Gao Jiangong was not polite about eating and drinking at the wine table. Since they knew the price of the bottle of wine, Wang Rubing and Li Changzhi did not drink much. A bottle of 750 ml red wine almost went into Gao Jiangong's stomach alone.
Seeing that he was almost drunk, Li Changzhi said: "Chief Gao, we are from Jiangnan City. It is not easy at the grassroots level. Please give us a lot of help, Chief Gao.
We are indeed waiting for urgent use of the poverty alleviation funds allocated by the state this time. Please see if you can help us solve it as soon as possible."
Gao Jiangong drank the last glass of wine in one gulp, but the anger in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. I really don't know what people from such a small place think, inviting someone to drink and not even calling them wine after just one bottle.
I haven’t had enough to drink, how can I talk about this?
He said with a cold face: "Old Li, there are many grassroots departments across the country, and there are also many poor counties. There are too many places that need money. You should wait for this money."
After saying that, he sneered secretly in his heart, although your rank is higher than mine, but so what, this is the imperial capital, under the emperor's feet, you still have to look at my face.
Seeing that the meal was about to go down the drain, Li Changzhi hurriedly said: "Chief Gao, can you please be accommodating? Our money is used to build an ecological agriculture industrial base.
If the funds are received now, we can just invest in the construction of infrastructure projects. If it is later, it will be too late, and the delay will be one year."
"It can't be accommodated." Gao Jiangong said with a stern face, "How to arrange production is your job. My job is to reasonably allocate the funds distributed by the state. There are too many places to use money now. It's not okay to wait here for more than half a year.
No.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed. After all, the state's funds are limited, so you can continue to wait in line."
As he spoke, he felt a burst of contempt in his heart. Sure enough, he was from a small place. I tolerated inviting people to eat and sitting on the dining table. I also tolerated ordering dishes instead of the signature dishes. I also tolerated making some watery pickles.
But you only have one bottle to drink. How can you do things like this? How can you talk about things if you don't have enough wine? It seems that this money will be pressed again and it will definitely not be decentralized in a short time.
Li Changzhi said a little anxiously: "Section Chief Gao, our money is specially approved by the state to be decentralized."
Gao Jiangong sneered and said: "Which of the money in my hand is not approved by the state? How could I decentralize it without approval? Isn't that a mistake?"
I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door. Seeing that the meal was in vain, Wang Rubing could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and stepped forward to grab his arm.
"You can't leave!"
Gao Jiangong was immediately angry. He was indeed from a small place and had no quality at all. What kind of talk was he talking about?
He turned around, threw away Wang Rubing's arm, and said angrily: "Do you people from small places still have any rules? Let me tell you, there is something wrong with this payment. I will review it again when I go back, right?
It will be released after review."
After all, he was a tall and strong man. Wang Rubing was thrown back seven or eight steps by him. In the end, he failed to stabilize his center of gravity and fell backwards.
She turned pale with fright, and at this moment a big hand firmly held her back and helped her up.
Qin Haodong helped Wang Rubing up, looked at Gao Jiangong in front of him, and said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance. Go back now and complete the poverty alleviation funds for Wufeng County, and distribute them before 8:30 tomorrow morning, otherwise you won't have to
Done."
"Boy, who are you? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Gao Jiangong was furious. He really didn't know what happened today. He met all these people. But at this moment, he suddenly saw Han Jieyu standing next to Qin Haodong.
"Miss Han, why are you here!"
Although as an ordinary person, he did not know the existence of the seven aristocratic families in the imperial capital, he did know that Han Jieyu's identity was extremely special.
Once, he and a powerful deputy director of the bureau came here to have dinner. The deputy director had to greet this woman respectfully, but he didn't even have the qualifications to come forward.
Afterwards, he asked Han Jieyu's identity in a roundabout way. The deputy director said that he was the owner of the health club and someone he could never afford to mess with. However, if Han Jieyu was unhappy, just one sentence could make the deputy director lose his hat.
Even the deputy director couldn't afford to offend someone, so he naturally kept it in mind and was careful every time he ate here.
I met you today and I quickly came up to say hello.
Han Jieyu ignored his humility, took a step forward, took Qin Haodong's arm, and said without any doubt: "This is my man, do as he says."
Hearing Han Jieyu directly call himself her man, Qin Haodong was slightly startled. It seemed that once a woman falls in love, her role changes very quickly.
In fact, even if he doesn't use the power of the Han family, he still has 100 ways to make this high-tech section chief lose his hat or even go to jail.
Hearing Han Jieyu's words, Gao Jiangong trembled with fright. He could regard Qin Haodong's words as a joke, but this woman's words were no joke.
He quickly said: "You two, don't worry, I will go back and work overtime to handle it now, and the funds will definitely be in place tomorrow morning."
At the same time, he hated Li Changzhi and Wang Rubing in his heart. They had such a relationship in the imperial capital. Why didn't they use it earlier? It would make him embarrassed here, and he might even offend the big shots.
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Qin Haodong shouted again: "Wait a minute, I haven't let you go yet."
Gao Jiangong hurriedly turned back and said respectfully: "Sir, if you have any other instructions, just tell me."
Qin Haodong said: "Go to the bar and pay the bill first, and then leave."
"Pay the bill?"
Gao Jiangong couldn't help but grin. Although he didn't look at the bill, he could guess that this meal cost more than 20,000 yuan, which was almost half a year's salary. It would be really painful for him to pay.
Qin Haodong said: "Why, aren't you willing?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Gao Jiangong nodded repeatedly. In comparison, his hat was still more important than his meal money. He obediently ran to the bar, paid all the money for today's meal, and then left the club in despair.
Wang Rubing and Li Changzhi were stunned as they watched. They didn't expect that today's meal didn't cost a penny and they managed to get it done.
They never expected that Qin Haodong would have such great influence in the imperial capital.
Qin Haodong went over to say hello to Li Changzhi, and then introduced Han Jieyu.
Upon hearing that it was Qin Haodong's sister and fellow countryman, Han Jieyu hurriedly opened her own private room, and then opened a new table of food and wine to entertain these two people.
Looking for an opportunity, Wang Rubing pulled Qin Haodong and asked: "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with her?"
Qin Haodong didn't hide it, and said, "You heard it just now, Jieyu is my girlfriend."
