It’s true, Meng Lingjiang drank too much when the wine here wasn’t even full for three rounds and the food wasn’t even good enough. It’s really no one else’s fault, he brought it all on himself.

Besides him, there were also Li Yuanlang, section chief of the cadre section, Zhang Guorui, Gao Canru, and Wu Hongli at the wine table. Later, Li Yuanlang called Han Wei to the table as well.

Huang Wenfa was in a bad mood because he had been scolded by Zhang Guorui, so he excused himself and left early and did not come to the hotel.

Also, the table is full of cadres above the deputy department level. As a young man like him, his status is embarrassing, so not coming is the best choice.

Among the seven people, Han Wei and Zhang Guorui were soldiers. They drank openly and used a big bowl instead of a wine glass. Gao Canru was too drunk and had to drink 2 taels of wine slowly and not in a hurry. As the only lesbian, Wu Hongli looked quiet and quiet.

Definitely drink juice.

Meng Lingjiang, however, refused to give in. He insisted on Wu Hongli drinking liquor and made some provocative puns.

Wu Hongli was so anxious that she picked up a bottle of liquor and challenged Meng Lingjiang. They each weighed half a kilo. Do they dare to drink it?

Meng Lingjiang was a man who had been on the battlefield for a long time and could still be intimidated by women. He immediately drank one glass of wine with Wu Hongli and drank half a catty of wine in no time.

If a woman doesn't drink, she can't drink. Those who are willing to drink must be at the level of Mengzi.

Wu Hongli, who seemed unable to drink, fell into this category. If she didn't drink, she wouldn't drink. Once she drank, she couldn't stop the car. After one bottle bottomed out, she took out a bottle of white wine and asked Meng Lingjiang if he dared to continue.

Meng Lingjiang's tongue was hard, and his mouth was naturally not soft. He stood up forcefully, swaying, and his tongue seemed to be stuffed with shoe cushions. He spoke shamelessly: "Just drink, whoever doesn't drink can crawl on four legs."

"He also made a bastard gesture, as if no one knew.

Zhang Guorui saw that Meng Lingjiang had drunk too much. In the afternoon, he would hold a township cadre meeting and announce personnel appointments. He could drink wine at any time, but not now, for fear of delaying things.

He quickly dissuaded Wu Hongli and mentioned the meeting in the afternoon. Wu Hongli listened to him, but Meng Lingjiang ignored him. He was already drunk. He grabbed the bottle and insisted on performing a Xinjiang dance for everyone, and asked Wu Hongli to accompany him.

Jump together.

Meng Lingjiang is short and fat, more than half a head shorter than Wu Hongli. One is tall, one is short, one is fat, and the other is thin. It is an unusual combination. Let alone the nondescript combination, the key point is that Wu Hongli is worried that if Wu Hongli's eyes are blurry and she is not paying attention, she will treat Meng Lingjiang like a ball.

If it was kicked away, it would be a big joke.

Therefore, Wu Hongli naturally did not agree, and even praised Meng Lingjiang for letting him perform a solo dance.

At this time, Meng Lingjiang's mind was full of wine bugs, and he couldn't hear anything nice to say. He thought Wu Hongli was praising him, so he asked the waiter to turn on the karaoke machine, immediately twisted his fat body, and selflessly entertained himself with the music.

.

He was so fat that he looked like a rubber ball when he walked, and even more like a bouncing rubber ball when he danced. From time to time, he would imitate others in swaying his neck. In other words, it was not certain whether he had a neck or not. He was so funny that he made everyone burst into laughter.

My stomach hurts from laughing.

Section Chief Hou, who was opposite Li Yuanlang, couldn't help frowning when he saw Meng Lingjiang making all kinds of appearances. After all, he was from the same department, and the leader lost his temper while drinking, and his subordinate was also disgraceful.

Meng Lingjiang was dancing happily here. Xiao Wangzhan came in immediately with Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi. As soon as he entered the room, he apologized: "I'm really sorry, I'm late. The main reason is that the people in Hanjiatun are too difficult to deal with. I'm sorry for wasting time."

"

Seeing that Meng Lingjiang was still dancing at the sound, Xiao Zhanzhan clapped his hands in time with the rhythm, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Meng's dance, tsk tsk, it's great, his figure is so slender, he is really unqualified in the organization department, he should be

Go to the Propaganda Department, haha."

"You also think I dance well?" Meng Lingjiang said with a big tongue and panting: "Commissioner Wu praised me in the same way just now."

"Comrade Hongli is a propaganda committee member herself, huh? Hongli, why don't you dance with Minister Meng and have a pas de deux." Xiao Zhanzhan took the opportunity to tease.

"I don't. Minister Meng is so good at dancing alone. Not ordinary people are qualified to dance solo." Wu Hongli drank wine, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked more charming.

Meng Lingjiang finally stopped spinning the top and pulled some napkins to wipe the sweat on his face. As a result, a piece of paper stuck to the left side of his face. He didn't notice it. Hanging this piece of paper, he danced and talked. He had been dancing since he was a child.

Determined to dream of becoming a dancer in the future, the piece of paper suddenly flapped, which was very funny and made everyone laugh non-stop.

Or Section Chief Hou couldn't stand it any longer, so he took it off.

Only then did Xiao Wangzhan have the opportunity to shake hands with Section Chief Meng Lingjiang Li Yuanlanghou and introduce Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi to them.

When shaking hands with Li Yuanlang, Xiao Wangzhan made a special effort and patted Li Yuanlang on the shoulder and said: "Deputy Township Head Li, no matter what happened in the past, you will be my deputy in the government from now on. I hope you will be more kind."

Support my work and share my worries."

"Mr. Xiao is very polite. It is my duty to support Chief Xiao in his work, and I will try my best to do it well." Li Yuanlang's answer was impeccable and just right, prompting Xiao Zhanzhan to say several good things in succession.

Shaking hands with Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi was just a formality, nothing special.

But Li Yuanlang could still feel that Tan Gang was polite to him, but Liu Shuxi was dismissive. The executive deputy township head who was not a member of the party committee was not as powerful as him, the director of the party and government office.

It's normal.

Suddenly there were three more people. Xiao Zhanzhan suggested changing to a table for ten people. Instead of the original dishes, he put a new table of dishes on the table.

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but feel distressed. How much money he spent every time he came and went. This was all the hard-earned money of the common people. The so-called public servants spent money without batting an eye.

Xiao Zhanzhan was in such a good mood that if it hadn't been for the meeting in the afternoon, he would probably have become the next Meng Lingjiang.

Thanks to Zhang Guorui's timely reminder, the meal ended not long afterward.

Li Yuanlang didn't drink much during the entire drinking bureau. He adhered to the principle of being a low-key person and doing things in a low-key manner. He didn't show off his appearance. The situation in Shuiming Township was complicated. If he was not careful, he would fall into a quagmire. Staying awake at all times was his bottom line.

At this point, Li Yuanlang was stronger than Ji Tianhou, unlike him and was drunk, which also left a way to find out the number of ways to deal with him.

Seeing the leftovers on the table with barely any chopsticks used, Li Yuanlang felt uncomfortable and secretly asked the waiter how he usually handles these things.

"Pour it out directly and turn it into swill, which can also be fed to pigs." Xu Shi realized that she had made a mistake in what she said, and the little girl couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

The others left the table and walked outside. Li Yuanlang discussed with the waiter and wanted to pack up the remaining things and take them away. He was going to stay anyway, and these dishes were enough to feed him and Han Wei for a few days.

The key is to throw it away like this. It's a pity. Li Yuanlang really couldn't bear to part with it.

"Are you a township cadre?" the waiter said while packing. "You are the first township cadre I have seen packing. You are different from them."

Li Yuanlang curiously asked her why he did it differently.

"I can't tell, it's just different."

Li Yuanlang smiled, carried several convenience bags and walked to the door of Ye Yuhua Hotel, where he bumped into people coming in from outside.

The place where it hit was very elastic, and Li Yuanlang immediately guessed that it was a woman, and she was quite young.

This woman is in her thirties and has a charming appearance. At first glance, she is not a good person.

"Hey, you are the new Deputy Township Mayor Li, right? My name is Gao Yuee, and I opened this store. I hope that Deputy Township Mayor Li will come to visit often in the future and give me more advice."

Gao Yue'e stretched out her hand politely, while Li Yuanlang held the convenience bag in both hands and shrugged apologetically.

"Are you still packing?" Gao Yue'e asked puzzledly.

"I happen to have dinner in the evening. If I have these dishes, I can go to the canteen and buy some steamed buns or rice and save money on food." Li Yuanlang said with a smile.

"It's a lot of trouble. I'll just ask the chef to cook some new dishes and deliver them to you in the evening. It will be recorded in the village account. It's very convenient." Gao Yue'e waved her hand and said.

"Thank you, Boss Gao, for your kindness. Don't bother me." After saying that, Li Yuanlang nodded in greeting, picked up his things and left.

Looking at Li Yuanlang's back, Gao Yue'e said to her heart: "This new deputy mayor Li is so charming and handsome!"

Because Li Yuanlang hadn't been assigned to a dormitory yet, he temporarily gave these delicious foods to Han Wei and asked him to put them in the trunk of the car.

Han Wei drank a lot, and walked a little light as if he had stepped on cotton. He was in high spirits during happy events. When he saw the old leader, he was happy and drank more. It is human nature.

Han Wei had worked in Shuiming Township, but Zhang Guorui hadn't come yet at that time. He had been the full-time Party and Mass Secretary of Shuiming Township for just over half a year. Han Wei was still working as a busboy in his brother's restaurant at the time, and they had no interaction with each other at all.

Seeing Li Yuanlang carrying these food and drinks, Han Wei smiled heartily and couldn't help but click his tongue: "There are chickens, fish and meat. Even during the New Year, every household can't eat such good things."

Shuiming Township is poor, and Hanjiatun is even poorer. I have heard Han Wei say before that the villagers work hard all year round, and there is basically no meat on the New Year's Eve dinner table except stir-fried vegetables and some meat. They lead a very poor life.

"Is there a primary school in Hanjiatun?" Li Yuanlang suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, because we are far away from home, we implement fully closed management. We have two days off a week, go home on Friday, and return to school on Sunday night. What's wrong?" Han Wei asked in confusion.

Li Yuanlang did not answer directly, but told Han Wei that he would accompany him to Hanjiatun after finishing the village affairs.

At 1:30 p.m., in the conference room on the first floor of the Shuiming Township Government, all village party secretaries and directors were present. The whole conference room was noisy, like a free market.

They were saying hello and chatting, and there were also smokers. There were actually quite a few people with red faces and the smell of alcohol all over their bodies. The top beam was crooked and the bottom beam was crooked. The leaders had all drank, and naturally the people below couldn't lag behind. For a while, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol was still there.

The stench of sweat mixed together, it hit your nose and was nauseating.

Li Yuanlang frowned slightly. The leadership structure of Shuiming Township was simply in disarray. People's hearts were divided and ideas were scattered. How could such a leader lead everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich? What a fantasy, a fantasy.

It seems that Shuiming Township is in trouble and has many problems. If we want to completely change all of this, there is a long way to go.

Even though Xiao Zhanzhan took the lead and walked in, everyone seemed not to notice and still went their own way. The venue was noisy and quiet.

Xiao Zhanzhan and the swaying Meng Lingjiang sat in the middle of the rostrum, and the other party committee members also sat in order according to their rankings. Li Yuanlang chose to sit at the edge. Although Wu Hongli next to him advised him to sit in the middle, Li Yuanlang politely refused.

.

Being low-key and unassuming is his main theme and it will not change at any time.

When Xiao Zhanzhan saw everyone like this, he couldn't hold his face and his brows knitted into a big knot. He asked Huang Wenfa to open the window immediately. The smell in the room was too choking.

"Quiet, the meeting is now." Xiao Zhanzhan patted the microphone hard, but no one paid attention to him. The voice was still there, but it was a little quieter.

Xiao Zhanzhan coughed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shouting from below: "Chief Xiao, Secretary Ma isn't here yet. Why don't you wait for Secretary Ma?"

"Yeah, if the leader doesn't come, how will this happen?"

"Without Secretary Ma's decision, nothing can be decided. Isn't this nonsense?"

"It's not..."

"That makes sense."

The voices that had become quieter suddenly became louder again, and the chaotic order in the venue remained unchanged without any change.

Xiao Zhanzhan was so angry that he stopped tapping the microphone and instead slapped the table. Even Zhang Guorui helped out by shouting "Quiet" and no one listened.
Chapter completed!
