Chapter 32 The Mayor's Toast
Chapter 32 The Mayor’s Toast
At the banquet, Xicheng District Party Secretary Du Xiaoshan also brought his son Du Fei over, saying that he would meet his classmates in advance.
When Du Xiaoshan gave his son a drink at school, Tang Xueqian was quarantined and investigated by the provincial inspection team, so this was the first time Zhang Ke saw Du Fei.
It was exactly the same as when Du Fei was in high school, and he was a little introverted. He said hello to whom he asked him to say hello to. He was shabby and thin, with rough black skin, but Du Fei was fair and fair. When he was in high school, he was even more popular than Zhang Ke. However, Zhang Ke's girlfriend changed one after another, but he hurriedly asked Zhang Ke to help find a lady to solve his virginity problem.
After Zhang Ke made so many friends, Du Fei's appetite for himself. In addition to being serious and indifferent, he can treat others fairly and tolerate others, and does not have the awareness of being a child of a cadre, which is undoubtedly excellent qualities.
Zhang Ke thought that Du Fei would know him after entering school, but he didn't expect that he believed that he was a potential stock and brought his son to the door first. Maybe Du Xiaoshan believed that his son could confuse Tang Xueqian's daughter Tang Jing.
Zhang Ke naturally knew who Du Fei was obsessed with for three years in high school. He once shouted "Teacher Li" in the dormitory in the middle of the night. According to sources, at this time, his bed trembled a few times, and then he saw him sneaking up and changing his underwear. This incident made Wan Yong's son Wan Tiancai pass to the girls, and then to the girls from the same school to the girls at Donghai University. This was forced to Du Fei to retain his shameful virginity until he was a graduate student.
Zhang Ke remembered these things that might happen, and held back his laughter and asked Du Fei to sit with him and Tang Jing. Seeing that he was looking at Tang Jing with a youthful atmosphere, he only glanced at him for a few more times and ignored him. He thought that his admission notice was indeed sent to his home by Teacher Li Zhifang, director of the Academic Affairs Office.
Zhang Ke remembered Li Zhifang whom he met when he signed up at No. 1 Middle School a few days ago. Li Zhifang, who is thirty-three years old, has a graceful figure that is hard to reach for a girl with a pink face, bright eyes, thin eyebrows and wide forehead, and moist red lips. Every part is quite tempting. She is very easy to become a boy's nocturnal emission and a partner. It is natural to make Du Fei as shocked as a god at first sight.
With Zhang Ke's deep understanding of Du Fei, he chose all the topics that this kid was interested in at the banquet. Before the banquet ended, Du Fei almost wanted to exchange posts with Zhang Ke to join the charity.
When Wan Yong saw Du Xiaoshan's son quickly got along with Tang Xueqian's daughter and Zhang Zhixing's son, he regretted not bringing his son Wan Tiancai also.
Haizhou City knew that Zhang Ke rescued Xu Xueping's granddaughter from under the wheels was Zhou Fuming, and Tang Xueqian was just a matter of people. Other officials in Haizhou only thought that Zhang Zhixing was suddenly favored. Not only did he make great contributions to Tang Xueqian and clear him of suspicion, but he also had a relationship with Xu Xueping, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. They all felt that this person had a great opportunity.
Although Zhang Zhixing just mentioned the level of a director and his qualifications are not comparable to those of them, he dare not look down on them. He took turns to respect each other at the banquet and was very intimate.
Mingli said that today I would like to celebrate my and Tang Jing's admission to No. 1 Middle School. Zhang Ke looked at the scene of the cups and cups, but like a Haizhou official celebrating Zhou Fuming as the secretary of the listing party committee for compensation, Tang Xueqian became the deputy secretary, and he celebrated his father as the secretary-general of the listed government. Everyone was so excited that it was Tang Xueqian's turn to come out to toast and thank everyone, but saw Tang Xueqian holding the wine glass to him: "Xiao Ke, Uncle Tang first to toast you this glass of wine, and then toast your father next..."
Only Zhou Fuming, the Haizhou officials present, knew the investigation process of the Ding Xiangshan case, and only envied Zhang Zhixing for having such a son. He was naturally not surprised by Tang Xueqian's move, thinking: If Zhang Zhixing's son had no wit and courage and grasped the loopholes in the trap set by Ding Xiangshan, how could Tang Xueqian sit here and accept the flattery of everyone?
Others saw the decent deputy secretary of Haizhou City and the acting mayor who was the first to toast a young man who was half a big one, and his glasses were shattered.
Zhang Ke was also a little surprised. He picked up the cup containing orange juice and said hurriedly: "My father admires Uncle Tang the most, and I respect Uncle Tang the most. I hope Uncle Tang’s family will be safe and safe. In this way, my father will be able to be smooth as an official. This cup... I use drinks instead of wine, and I wish Uncle Tang the family peace and harmony..."
"You kid must have added a sentence in your heart. I wish you a smooth official," Wan Yong, director of the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, said with a smile beside him, "Like my kid, I asked him what his biggest wish was. He said he hoped that I would be a high-ranking official, even if he was a high-ranking official for the rest of his life, he would be satisfied..." It made everyone laugh, and Wan Yong said, "I wish you a wonderful wish, it's wrong to drink a drink. If you change to white wine, my kid can drink half a pound of Maotai. I think your potential is better than my kid."
Tang Xueqian laughed and said to Zhang Ke: "Can you drink some? Or should you drink some white drinks with Uncle Tang?"
Zhang Ke was very adaptable to alcohol, but before he was sixteen years old, he had no chance to get in contact with alcohol under the strict supervision of his mother. Zhang Zhifei, the younger uncle next to him, changed him to half a glass of white wine. Zhang Ke drank it all and everyone shouted.
Tang Xueqian also drank the white wine in the glass, then drank half a glass of wine with Zhang Zhixing, and toasted the others on the table with just a sip.
The details of this made these people who have been in the officialdom for many years very puzzled. I can't figure out how this half-year-old boy could make Tang Xueqian pay so much attention? It's not simple, it must be not simple.
Tang Xueqian didn't think too much about it. Although Zhang Ke was a junior, he should toast this wine, and he did not consider how much impact the wine would have on the tribute in front of officials of all sizes in Haizhou.
Wan Yong was quite scruples. Seeing Zhang Ke drinking all his little white wine in one go, he cheered and said, "The boy from Zhixing is okay, he is more vague than my boy. Are you going to toast me each of them? Why do you say that everyone is here today to celebrate your admission to the No. 1 Middle School?"
Zhang Zhixing’s good luck is really enviable, so there are many people who respond to Wan Yong, which makes Zhang Ke unable to sit down.
Zhou Fuming said: "Zhixing, please lead your son to meet the uncles and uncles here, and they are toasting each table at a time. Come on, come on, I will give our table a half spoon. Zhixing can drink well, so you should accompany you more..."
Seeing that Zhou Fuming's words were very protective of Zhang Zhixing's son, Wan Yong shut up in embarrassment, and the others would not irrespond to cheer him up. Because Tang Xueqian took the initiative to toast Zhang Ke, when Zhang Zhixing led Zhang Ke to toast Zhou Fuming's table, Zhou Fuming owed his body to drink the wine, and toasted each other table one by one, naturally no one could sit still.
When he was to the table of Song Peiming, the mayor of Chengnan District, Zhang Ke looked at Song Peiming with the toast. He was about the same age as his father, with a fat face, no beard, and even a slut. He could not judge whether he knew about the 718 major traffic accident from his expression at this time. He also had to bear certain responsibilities. He moved the main factory of the severely polluted Xinguang Paper Factory to the development zone by him. This was a good thing for the people, but he did not do the work thoroughly, the employees were not properly placed, and the new factory could not start smoothly. It was just as he expected that so many right and wrong would have been caused?
In order to leave a deeper impression on Song Peiming, Zhang Ke stood beside him when toasting, toasting, and taking the initiative to add wine to him, he could not make any more small moves.
After the banquet, Tang Xueqian and Secretary Zhou Fuming were sent away. Zhang Ke, his parents and his uncle left them until the end to pack the leftovers. The uncle Zhang Zhiwei kept helping prepare the banquet and finally rushed to settle the accounts. Zhang Zhixing asked how much, and Zhang Zhiwei pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone said that I and the old lady would like to celebrate Xiao Ke. When Xiao Ke was admitted to college in the future, this opportunity would be left to us." Liang Gezhen did not want to dig out a piece of money from the gifts he received today to pay the money. He thought that the money was probably for his uncle alone, and said from the side: "Thank you very much for his uncle. His uncle, Zhang Yi has graduated and can't catch up. When Xiao Mei gets into high school in two years, I, the aunt, will also serve her as a celebrating."
Seeing his wife say this, Zhang Zhixing didn't insist on paying for the wine and food, and separated each other. When he got home, he opened the red envelopes and counted them. There were 234 red envelopes, totaling more than 66,000 yuan. In addition to the gifts from several city leaders who had to be refunded, the gifts received during this trip also exceeded 60,000 yuan.
No wonder people in the world are fighting for one official and half of their positions, which is worth the income of ordinary people for several years. The relationship between people is just a joke. The position level is higher than you. If you can accept the gifts he gives steadily, you should find a way to return them, but you also need to add a reward gift.
The banquet was a joyful meal, and there was no hidden worries. At least three deputy secretary of the municipal party committee did not attend. The seemingly stable and united situation in Haizhou also had a trace of disharmony.
The next day, I invited my relatives to dinner. In addition to my uncle, uncle and two uncles, the gifts given by other relatives were only about fifty or sixty yuan. This was the normal level of favor in Haizhou City in 1994. I had gained the favors of Tang Xueqian before, because I had to give favors at the same time, the gifts could not be distinguished according to my position.
