Chapter 195: The Appearance of All Abstinence

When I walked into the private room that Liu Yi had booked in advance in Shangri-La Hotel at the hour, several local leaders had arrived. Liu Yi was sitting with them, and I quickly said:

"Sorry! Let all leaders wait for a long time!"

Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man in his forties and a little bald. He seemed a little dissatisfied with my late arrival and his face was not very good. Liu Yi pulled me over and asked softly:

"Old company commander, why are you here? They have been here for a long time..."

I asked for some reason:

"Didn't you make an appointment at 6:30? I arrived on time... I thought the people in the local area were not so punctual! Who would have thought they had arrived early..."

Liu Yi smiled bitterly, turned to the middle-aged man and said:

"Director Huang, Chief of Staff Lu delayed something just now. I'm really sorry to let you wait for a long time!"

Director Huang said "hmm" without commenting, and Liu Yi quickly pointed at me and said:

"I'll introduce it to you first. This is my old company commander and now the regiment chief of staff Lu Changfeng!"

I smiled at the people present and said apologetically:

"Sorry, I'm treating everyone to dinner, but I'll definitely get three drinks later!"

Liu Yi pointed at Director Huang and said:

"Old company commander, this is Director Huang from the Municipal Resettlement Office. He is very supportive of our work!"

I reached out and said:

"Director Huang, I have long admired you!"

Director Huang reached out and shook me, nodded slightly but didn't say anything. A hint of unhappiness gradually arose in my heart. Even if I arrived a while later - in fact, I was not late, because they came early - he wouldn't have been so lukewarm all the time, and I've apologized repeatedly!

Liu Yi seemed to see my emotions, and quickly turned his eyes to me, and then introduced the remaining few to me, namely the two deputy directors of the resettlement office and several department leaders.

After I sat down, I took three cups, opened a bottle of Wuliangye cleanly, and poured all three wine glasses, I picked up the first glass of wine and said:

"Director Huang, leaders, I will punish you three drinks first!"

After saying that, I drank three glasses of wine at a very fast speed. Director Huang looked at me with surprise and said:

"Chief Staff Lu has a good alcohol tolerance! And he is already a deputy regiment cadre at such a young age, and his future is promising!"

I said with a smile:

"Where! Where! You've been awarded! Director Huang, you must eat and drink well later! You must make me fully qualified for the landlords, otherwise I will feel uneasy! Haha!"

After chatting for a few words, the atmosphere at the table began to improve slowly, but Director Huang and several other cadres of the resettlement office did not mention Ye Xiaoyan's matter. I tried to mention it several times but they changed the topic. I looked at Liu Yi with a questioning look. He looked at me helplessly, shrugged his shoulders slightly, saying that he didn't know what was going on.

After a while, I finally couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and said to Director Huang:

"Director Huang, I would like to greet you on behalf of my comrades! Please pay more attention to her transfer and resettlement!"

Director Huang, who was talking "messy jokes" to his colleagues around him, was interrupted by me, and he showed an unhappy expression on his face. He picked up the wine glass and sipped his lips symbolically, and said slowly:

"Chief Staff Lu, let's talk about work slowly! It's still long tonight! Now drink first, ah! Drink first!"

I was speechless for a moment, and I killed the glass of wine without saying a word. I sat down in a depressed mood. I really had no experience in dealing with people in the place. They seemed to never be in a hurry, or they were anxious to see you, and they understood what you mean, but they just refused to give a correct word. This was really uncomfortable for me, who has always been decisive.

Liu Yi patted my shoulder gently, came over and whispered:

"Old company commander, do you think Director Huang wants some benefits? I heard that if a cadre wants to resettle a good unit now, it will cost some blood. If you just treat him to a meal, you may not be able to do anything..."

I glared at Director Huang who was giving a cup to a female cadre and whispered:

"What other benefits does he want? It has violated the principle of treating him to a meal. At his level, the banquet cannot have this specification. If it weren't for Ye Xiaoyan's work, I would be willing to be so cowardly? I won't give you a clear word or not. The officials in this place are just silly! People want to punch him!"

Liu Yi hurriedly said:

"You are quiet! Don't think about it when he hears you. It's normal for him to delay it for a year or two. They have a lot of words! There are many demobilized cadres, and the pressure of resettlement is great! Let you wait with peace of mind..."

I sighed a long time, nodded understandingly, and once again forced myself to pick up the wine glass, and began to toast one by one. I was so angry that I finally ate the fruit platter after the meal. Director Huang said slowly with the toothpick in his mouth:

"Chief Staff Lu, our Deputy Director Lu is a lesbian. It's not good to go home too late. You can call a car to take her back first!"

I felt angry when I heard this. After a meal, I didn’t mention anything I wanted to do. Now I am still calling me. I am a deputy league cadre after all, and I am not much lower than him in terms of administrative level!

Just when I was about to have an attack, Liu Yi stood up and said:

"Deputy Director Lu, I drove over from the unit's car. I'll take you there for a ride!"

The hair was curled into a big wave, and Deputy Director Lu, who was wearing exaggerated heavy makeup, nodded with a smile, and then said to Director Huang:

"Director, then I'll go back first. If you play, you should also pay attention to your health!"

After saying that, she made me feel goosebumps all over my body - tossing! Although Deputy Director Lu cannot be said to be ugly, the makeup she put on was so bad. Her glittering look reminded me of the female Yasha, and I quickly turned my head and didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Director Huang said with a smile:

"You little Lu! You just speak without any restraint! Go back quickly! Your husband may have warmed you up, haha!"

At this time, several cadres around Director Huang also burst into laughter and Deputy Director Lu blushed - of course I guessed based on her expression, just with the thick foundation on her face, it would probably be a bit difficult to reveal the red color.

After Deputy Director Lu left, Director Huang burped and said to me:

"Chief Staff Lu! I've had some food too. Do you think we're looking for a place to relax? It's too early for men to go back at this time, haha!"

I asked in confusion:

"Relaxation? Director Huang, where do you want to relax?"

Director Huang looked at me like an alien, without saying anything, but the deputy director next to him came up at the right time and said:

"Chief Staff Lu, you see that everyone has eaten so much and is already full. Of course, you have to find a place to move, which is also conducive to digestion! What do you think?"

Seeing me, the deputy director reminded me again:

"For example, if you can find a place to sing and wash a sauna, it will be the best if you can find a few beautiful ladies to accompany you, haha..."

Director Huang and the remaining cadres all laughed intently. When I saw the lewd expressions on their faces, I suddenly understood. It seemed that they had gone to those places a lot. I suppressed the anger in my heart and said calmly:

"Sorry, our troops are disciplined. I cannot get involved in local entertainment venues. Please forgive me!"

The deputy director said:

"No! Chief of Staff Lu! Actually, these are nothing. I think you are young and shouldn't have such an outdated concept! We had a night with Director Ke from the provincial military region the day before yesterday! He didn't say anything about discipline or disciplinary..."

I gritted my teeth, held back the urge to get angry again, and said:

"I can't control what others do, but I have to abide by the discipline myself! I'm so sorry, I can't enjoy it!"

Director Huang, who had been quiet for a long time, said coldly:

"Since this is the case, we won't force ourselves. Chief of Staff Lu, we have said goodbye!"

After saying that, he led his subordinates out of the private room. At this time, the waiter happened to come back from checking out. I took the credit card she handed me, strode to chase me and said:

"Director Huang, my comrades-in-arms' affairs..."

Director Huang said without looking back:

"Let's talk about it!"

I am a little bit stubborn. I walked around Director Huang and asked:

"Can you give me an accurate answer if it's OK or not?"

At this time, the deputy director said:

"Chief Staff, I think you are also a deputy regiment cadre. Why don't you understand the rules so much? Didn't our director say that? We have to hold a meeting to study the resettlement of your comrades when we go back. Now the pressure of resettlement of cadres is very high, so we can't write a blank check for you!"

By this time, I could no longer hold back the anger in my heart. I sneered and asked:

"Do I ask you to take a sauna tonight, and then go to KTV and ask a few ladies to accompany you. The pressure on this cadre's placement is not great?"

My voice was very loud and the hotel lobby was quieter, so everyone's eyes gathered over. Director Huang's face turned cold and said:

"Lu Changfeng! Don't make trouble! I think you are also a chief of staff of the regiment. How can you say such words? Do you want to put your bullshit comrade in a good job if you invite us to a meal?"

The deputy director also said:

"Chief Staff, please don't be too naive. Our local area is the same as your troops, and everything has procedures. If you stop our director and speak without saying anything, we will be called security guards. No matter how you say it, you are a middle-level cadre in the army. Don't slander the People's Liberation Army!"

I was both angry and funny. These borers looked righteous when they said these words. If they hadn't seen their ugly faces in the private room just now, I would have doubted whether this was an illusion. I wouldn't be immune to the vulgarity, otherwise I wouldn't have invited them out for dinner for work. I have nothing to do with you. If I'm fine, I'll treat you to dinner. Wouldn't you be full if I'm full? But I have my own bottom line, and it's no big deal to have a meal together, but after they finished eating, they made even more excessive requests, which made me no longer able to control my emotions.

I stared at Director Huang's face and said coldly:

"I'm giving you a face to help with this matter! As a result, you are shameless and you are putting on leadership qualities with me! Make some incredible requests! Since this is the case, I don't need to be polite to you dog officials!"

Hearing my mean words, Director Huang couldn't help but say in anger:

"My surname is Lu! Aren't you just a small chief of staff of the regiment? There are so many division-level cadres placed in my hands! Whoever of them is not polite when they see me? You guys are so kind! You dare to talk to me like this! Let's wait and see, I don't care which regiment you are from, you can wait for the leader to talk tomorrow! Let's go!"

After saying that, he led a group of subordinates to leave. I took another step forward and reached out to block his way. Director Huang glared:

"What's wrong? Do you still want to fight? Do you think you are a soldier and we are afraid of you?"

At this time, the security guards of the hotel had already come over. Director Huang was obviously a regular visitor here, so when he saw that we were about to fight, the security guards came up to confront me, and the scene suddenly became tense...

These security guards will naturally not be my opponent. Even if they have ten times more people, they will not be able to beat me, whose true energy is approaching me. In a rage, I didn't think too much about the consequences of the fight, so I saw that the security guards stood on their side indiscriminately, and I was about to go up and take action as soon as I raised my eyebrows.

At this time, a sound full of energy sounded in the lobby:

"Xiao Lu? It's really you! Why are you here? What's going on?"

Although this voice sounds gentle and elegant, it has a kind of momentum. It sounds like a person who has been in a high position for a long time. Director Huang and I both looked in the direction of the sound. A middle-aged man in a gray suit was walking towards us. He was about fifty years old, with a national face and a high forehead. He had a strong momentum without anger.

I think the man in front of me looks familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him. Just as I was trying to recall, Director Huang on the opposite side had already shouted in fear:
Chapter completed!
