Chapter 29 Slaughtered
After exiting the door, Xue Xiang asked Boss Xu where the cadres in the inspection room were, but Boss Xu stared at him in a daze. Suddenly, he reached out and patted his face, "You are Director Xue Xiangxue, damn, damn, I am really blind. Please, please, please, here, here, Director You and the others have arrived!"
I pushed open the private room in the middle, and there were a huge round table, with fifteen or sixteen seats sitting around it. Even the round table seemed to be specially made, but so many people squeezed into one table, it seemed really cramped, far less loose than the private room just now.
There is no way. Now, no matter how crowded you are, I am afraid no one will want to sit in the loose seat next door.
"I'm sorry, everyone, my family followed me and settled in the accommodation. It's too late!"
Xue Xiang entered the door and apologized to everyone. Although it was a few minutes earlier than the agreed time, the guests had arrived at this moment, so his master was naturally late.
"It's not too late, it's not too late..."
"Director Xue, since you have family, you won't bring them. Everyone is gathering together, and this is a big deal!"
"Sit down, sit down soon, the seat is about to start..."
“…”
As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, the room was full of promises. Several deputy directors and inspectors all smiled and spoke, but Director You was on the main seat with a stern face, as if someone owed him two cents but had not returned them.
"Director You, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll let you wait for a long time. Later, I will punish myself and apologize to you!"
Speaking, Xue Xiang sat in the seat next to Ubinjun's right hand.
At this moment, Mr. Xue also saw that Director You was just majestic but not majestic. His subordinates clearly didn't accept him because according to the convention, after he expressed his apology, the senior of Youbinjun, the first person to speak, but he was just in a mess. Xue Xiang had almost figured out how much Director You was in the inspection room.
Director You said lightly: "No. No, since you are here, let's have a meal. I still have a few more pieces tonight, so let's hurry up."
Little did he know that after his words from someone, the table was full of complaints. Since you, Director You, is busy with all your time, why are you still begging Bai Lailaiqiu for this meal? Before you even served the bowl, you shouted to leave. Isn’t this an obvious demolition to Director Xue?
The dinner planner Liu Xiaohan did not respond to Director You's voice, but asked for the food to serve. Instead, he glanced at Xue Xiang, who nodded with a smile. Liu Xiaohan walked to the door and greeted the waiter at the door. Soon after, he saw a waiter taking a lantern like a big red tray, serving dishes after dishes, and spreading a table full of them.
Four cool and four steamed. Four stir-fry, one soup and one hot pot. Although there are no delicacies and fish, the meat and vegetables are well matched, a pot of bullfrog can barely improve the level of the dinner. The table of delicacies is full of delicious dishes, bright colors and spicy. Just looking at the dishes, you can tell that it is not a local cuisine, because Mingzhu originally belongs to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The cuisine is naturally Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The human nature of Jiangnan is soft and gentle. Naturally, it prefers elegant and sweet. This table of dishes, heavy oil and pepper, is obviously Sichuan cuisine.
The food was served. Liu Xiaohan called a waiter in red and asked everyone: "Drinking is still the same rule. The man is Luzhou Laojiao, ladies' soda, it's hot. I don't think he's going to be a frozen beer bar?"
Obviously, the next sentence of Section Chief Liu was for Xue Xiang!
To be more specific, it was Xue Xiang's treat tonight, but according to the rules of the past, he had to eat a piece of cake. This is not a decimal for ordinary people nowadays. Although Director Xue laughed and said that when he got married, he had just given up a sum, but if someone had a meal, he would have to spend a few dollars and pay several months' salary, he would probably be sad.
Section Chief Liu turned himself into others, so he naturally wanted to save money for this very pleasant immediate boss, but he had to save money, but it was not possible to do it openly. For example, making stamps on dishes and giving a table of carrots and cabbage. In this way, the money was saved, wouldn’t it embarrassing Director Xue? Therefore, the food level of the usual dinner party must be maintained no matter how it is.
Since you can't save money on food, you can only make stamps on the wine.
Because a lot of people in the inspection office often go to the local area to handle cases, they can be said to be countless dinner parties, and they are all considered masters of drinking countries. Now Director Xue has arrived, and when he drinks, he is afraid that there will be endless amounts of alcohol. The dozens of dollars of alcohol used to be paid may not be able to be beaten. Therefore, Section Chief Liu made a polite advice at the end and drank frozen beer.
As soon as Chief Liu said this, the seat was silent. Everyone was smart. After a moment of confusion, he knew what Chief Liu meant. He was a good person and sighed secretly that he didn't seize the opportunity, so he asked Chief Liu to pick up the favor of becoming the new director.
Since you understand what Chief Liu wants, even if you are a greedy person, you will not be stupid enough to offend the new director for a meal. Therefore, everyone will wait for the response in unison.
Who would have thought that Xue Xiang had a first say, "How can I drink beer when I am a newcomer? Comrades obviously don't welcome me!"
Xue Xiang said something, blocking everyone's words. Director Xue said this, but he really insisted on drinking beer?
Liu Xiaohan couldn't figure out what this immediate boss was thinking, but he clearly didn't care about the few dollars, so why did he force himself to pay for it? Immediately, he rushed to the waiter standing beside him and said, "Old rule, Luzhou Laojiao, this table of four bottles, and the other two bottles!"
Chief Liu reported a guaranteed minimum, but according to convention, he usually couldn't even double it.
The waiter agreed and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xue Xiang, "Is there any Moutai?"
Wow!
The whole house was stunned and shocked. Could it be that Director Xue was so generous that he wanted to go to Moutai?
The waiter was also stunned, and then he responded repeatedly.
"Then go to Maotai. The first time I've been with my comrades, don't be polite to everyone!"
Xue Xiang waved his hand and was very proud. To be honest, he was extremely willing to spend this little money to win people's hearts. Besides, he was not afraid that others would use this as an excuse to reflect to the superiors that his life was corrupt and suspected of corruption.
Because Mr. Xue had the toughest backing, that was the special hero honor certificate he received due to the Qin-Tang earthquake! Of course, that certificate was shameless and could not be sold for money. However, although Mr. Xue, a special hero, did not have any other benefits, he explicitly stipulated that he would receive one more salary. This salary was paid at the level of the vice premier six years ago. Although he is still at the same level of salary, his salary has been raised a lot in the past few years, almost nearly a thousand yuan a month.
Mr. Xue received two salary, which was a very high-profile nouveau riche in the party. Therefore, even if someone checked him with this, someone from above would provide him with the guarantee.
But after saying that Xue Xiang was sure to invite Maotai, everyone was shocked again and then overjoyed.
To be honest, the economy has not been fully revitalized now. Even the weighted department of the Inspection Office has not had many opportunities to accept food and invitations from merchants. Even if they go to the local government and enjoy reception from government departments, they have not many opportunities to enjoy this national wine because the party style and discipline are still strict now.
If you want to say that the current price of Moutai cannot be compared with the 2,000 yuan in later generations, it is also expensive, with a total of seven or eight yuan. In short, if you pay a normal meal in the inspection room, the ten yuan you pay will be paid except for one person giving away a bottle of Moutai, you may not even be able to eat peanuts, because Moutai in the restaurant is naturally more than one or two percent more expensive than the market price.
Moreover, the salary of the inspector's people has generally not exceeded RMB 10 now. A bottle of Moutai, which often consumes one-tenth of its salary, is still a group of cadres who still have to support their families, and are reluctant to spend money.
Even Director You's face flashed with a gleam, but this gleam suddenly disappeared because Director You suddenly remembered the key to the problem and felt a little moved. This little thing was to play "delicious food and drink to attract people's hearts"!
As soon as he thought of this, the waiter who nodded and wanted to go was stopped by Director You again, "I heard that you have a foreign bar here. Can you introduce it?" After that, he turned his head and smiled at Xue Xiang: "Comrade Xue Xiang, I'm going to tell you that I have never drunk foreign wine. I just earn a dead salary and I have to support my wife and children. Even if I want to drink it, I am still powerless. Today I lend you Comrade Xue Xiang to get the taste of foreign flavor. Of course, it's better to see if Comrade Xue Xiang is convenient. If it is inconvenient, we can drink beer to deal with two sips!"
Director You's words mean something very meaningful. First, he pointed out his own hardships to contrast with the exotic and luxuriousness of Xue Lao. The taste of the audience was savored by the listeners. Secondly, he said bluntly that he wanted to drink foreign wine. If Xue Xiang refused, Xue Xiang's boldness in ordering Maotai in the previous episode would be washed away. If he agreed, Director You would have some rules and prevent Mr. Xue from leaving the stage!
There is no way, the battle between the officialdom is everywhere, so how could Director You watch Mr. Xue win the hearts of the people without being indifferent? Even if his actions fall into the hearts of everyone, as long as he stops Xue Xiang and effectively blows Xue Xiang's arrogance, Director You will feel it's worth it. Anyway, he also knows that the stubborn people in the Inspection Office have never been convinced. In Director You's opinion, it doesn't matter whether he is convinced or not, just be afraid of himself. As long as they believe that they have the ability to drive away the stumbling block ahead, they have the ability to kick this away. Are they afraid that these fencemen will dare not listen to him?
Director You's thoughts were directed at the hearts of the people.
This is the case now. At this moment, even though everyone here knows that Director You's words are out of the circle, it's almost shameless. But after Director You's words, no one dares to answer, it's nothing. As Director You thought, no one can guarantee that Director Xue has been able to hold on with Director You's serial attacks, especially looking at Director You's methods of dealing with their ex-director bosses, this is definitely a bureaucrat with no principles and no bottom line. If he made a clear stand and supported Director Xue, then Director Xue has never carried Director You's axe, and alas, wouldn't he have gotten on a leaky boat and turn around and see, Director You have his own good?
Therefore, at this moment, Director You finished speaking, and Section Chief Xiaohan, who was the first to approach Xue Xiang, also silenced. In the spacious private room, it was so quiet that the needle fell. (To be continued)
