f I should say or not" Fang also said: 。“Mr. Fang, the county magistrate, the reason why things turned out so badly this time is that we had a traitor on our side.” 。"Traitor" might be a bit harsh of...Xiao Zheng also didn't yield, staring straight at Song Guoming and saying, "I won't use the town's resources for personal gain, a clear conscience makes me wide. " 。Xiao Zheng made his stance clear. As for the danger, it could be very dangerous, but he wouldn't be intimidated by Song Guoming. 。Wang Guilong and Lin Xiaofeng also stared at Xiao Zheng. 。While people over there were toasting and having a lively time, things here seemed to have died down. 。Suddenly, Song Guoming smiled and said, "We were just joking with Commissioner Xiao." 。Wang Guilong and Lin Xiaofeng also laughed and said, "That's right, we were just joking. We didn't expect Commissioner Xiao to be so serious!" Song Guoming said, "Come on, let's all raise a glass to Commissioner Xiao" 。Xiao Weiye's concept of "green rural construction" aligns perfectly with the requirements of the current scientific development outlook. It might truly be the future direction for our township's development. Guilong and Xiaofeng, you both need to give this some serious thought. How will your industries transform and improve in the future 。"Yes, Song Shuji," Wang Guilong said, "we've already considered this. A person must look forward, and this is especially true for doing business." 。Today I learned a lot, we respect Commissioner Xiao. 。Lin Xiaofeng also squeezed out a smile: "Xiao Commissioner, you are young and promising. We respect you" 。Song Guoming, Wang Guilong, and Lin Xiaofeng each had three cups of wine in front of them. Xiao Zheng thought to himself, these three people were all good actors, they were all drama queens. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to argue with them any further, so he said: "Thank you, Secretary Song, Mr. Wang, Mr. Lin, I drank " 。Xiao Zheng was naturally straightforward, and they didn't have much to say to each other. He would rather drink his wine and sit down than force a conversation. 。While Xiao Zheng wasn't paying attention, Song Guoming shot a glance at Cai Shao Hua, the director of the Party and Government Office. 。Tsai Shaohua understood immediately and with a subtle glance that outsiders wouldn't notice, he looked at the waiter. 。The female waitress immediately understood. 。At this point, Song Guoming addressed the others and said, "Just now, I, Gui Long, and Xiao Feng have all toasted Commissioner Xiao. Commissioner Xiao has a good capacity for alcohol and is very generous. He drank everything we offered him." 。The rest of us, we all deserve a great deal of respect. Today is a rare opportunity. 。"Those around him said, "Good" 。At this time, the waiter came over and poured wine into Xiao Zheng's small cup. 。This bottle of wine has herbal juice added to it. 。Although Xiao Zheng didn't know why, he had already lost his desire to drink more and refused to let the waiter pour him another. 。Song Guoming saw this and immediately said to the female teacher Tao Fang: "Teacher Tao, come pour wine for Commissioner Xiao. Look, others can't pour it in, only you can." 。"Tao Fang's face was flushed now, and hearing Song Shuji's words, she immediately walked over. She took the wine bottle from the female waitress and said to Xiao Zheng, "Commissioner Xiao, this is the first time I've poured you a drink, so you have to give me this face." 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, although Tao Fang was only in her mid-twenties, she knew how to handle things well. 。A woman who comes to this sort of occasion, unless she's exceptionally capable, wouldn't leave a good impression on Xiao Zheng. He covered the cup opening with his hand and said, "Teacher Tao, I'm truly not good with alcohol." 。Tao Fang said: "Xiao Weiye, I'll only pour you a small cup. Whether you drink it in the end is up to you." 。Otherwise, everyone would definitely think that Commissioner Xiao has an opinion of me. I don't even get a chance to pour the wine on my first visit. 。"Xiao Zheng still insisted: "My alcohol tolerance is really not good." 。Song Guoming and Cai Shaohua both looked at Xiao Zheng, they were truly worried that Xiao Zheng would no longer be able to drink any more. 。Tao Fang said again, "Then I'll pour a small cup of wine for Commissioner Xiao. Whether you drink it or not is up to you, Commissioner Xiao." 。If Commissioner Xiao doesn't give me this opportunity, I won't leave. I'll just stand by Commissioner Xiao's side and wait. 。Xiao Zheng was most afraid of women like this. If Tao Fang really stood by his side, Xiao Zheng would feel uncomfortable all over. 。Xiao Zheng wasn't the kind of person who deliberately made things difficult for others. Hearing her say that, he took his hand off the small teapot and said, "Then you pour it. Pour as much as you like, but I really might not drink it. My tolerance for alcohol is very limited." 。Seeing Xiao Zheng withdraw his hand, both Song Guoming and Cai Shaohua's expressions lit up. 。Tao Fang also immediately smiled, saying: "Thank you, Commissioner Xiao, for giving me this opportunity." 。“As she spoke, she extended her fair and slender hand, picked up the small wine cup, placed it under the bottle, and poured half a cup of wine into it—not too much, not too little.” 。Tao Fang didn't pour wine like the others, overflowing each cup. It seems Tao Fang still knows her limits. 。Tao Fang poured the wine and placed a small cup next to Xiao Zheng. 。In this small note, the liquor holds a colorless miasma of mistletoe juice. 。This kind of medicinal herb grows in the deep mountains of An County. Currently, in mining areas like Fengqi Village, this kind of herb no longer exists. 。Wang Guilong hired a local folk physician from the Tianmu Mountains on the edge of the county. He had used him many times on some women, causing their blood to race and their minds to become dazed, leading them to take bold actions that ordinary people wouldn't dare. 。At this time, the mugwort wine infused with medicinal herbs had already been poured into Xiao Zheng's small cup. 。The police station chief, holding up his cup with admiration, walked to Xiao Zheng's side: "Commissioner Xiao, I raise this glass to you." 。Before this, there might have been some misunderstandings and unpleasantness in our relationship. I hope after this drink, we can clear the air and be on good terms again. 。After that, Qin will definitely give full support to Xiao Weiye's work. 。"The police chief would admire and support his work Xiao Zheng didn't think that was very likely. Besides, the grudge he held for getting him sent to the county Public Security Bureau hadn't been settled yet. It wasn't realistic to expect Xiao Zheng to forget about it completely." 。Xiao Zheng then said: "Qin Zolang, I'm really sorry" 。I have a limited alcohol tolerance, I really can't drink this. 。"Admiration without letting go, I picked up the cup in front of Xiao Zheng and poured half a cup of wine into his glass. "You can't drink a whole cup, but half a cup should be fine, right Commissioner Xiao, I'm sincerely here to make amends. From now on, we are comrades in the same team. We need to help each other, support each other, criticize each other constructively, and encourage each other. If Mayor Xiao has any opinions about me, please feel free to point them out directly. I will accept them humbly and work on improving." 。。But men aren't that different either, I'll have a drink with you. 。Then Sun Yucai shouted, “Listen to me everyone, I and Commissioner Qin have both finished our cups, while Commissioner Xiao has a limited alcohol tolerance and only drank half a cup, how about it Do you all think we are sincere”

Everyone shouted back, “Sincere!”

This move by Secretary-General Sun Yucai put Xiao Zheng in a very difficult position. 。After all, in terms of position, Xiao Zheng was lower than Sun Yucheng. He was on the same level as the head of the police station, Qin Pei, but Qin Pei had been in the team longer than him. These two leaders were allowed to drink full cups, while Xiao Zheng was only allowed to drink half a cup. Logically speaking, this already showed enough face to Xiao Zheng. 。If Xiao Zheng didn't drink, this dinner wouldn't continue. 。Unless Xiao Zheng stands up and leaves now. 。But it's far too early for a showdown. 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to raise his cup with a smile and say, "Sun Shuji, Qin Chang, you two just have a drink as well." 。Xiao Zheng finished half a cup of white wine, but Sun Yuchang said: "We agreed to have one cup each, just one cup, we won't be short." 。After saying that, Sun Yucai and Qinpěi both drained their entire cups of white liquor. 。For these two old foxes, this glass of wine wasn't much. 。Song Guoming clapped his hands, and the others followed suit. 。Song Guoming said again, “Now, I have a rule: from now on, everyone has to toast Commissioner Xiao, and Commissioner Xiao will drink half a cup, while everyone else has to finish their cups.” 。“This means that you still have to toast him.” 。Xiao Zheng wasn't stupid; he could certainly hear the meaning behind those words.

At this point, Cai Shao Hua had already stood up and walked over to Xiao Zheng, saying: "Commissioner Xiao, I haven't toasted you yet." 。I'll have a whole cup too, you have half. 。After Cai Shaohua became the director of the Party and Government Office, he often ridiculed Xiao Zheng sarcastically, but now he is toasting him. 。This is the system, this is reality, reality is so cruel, officials are higher than you, and you have to bow your head. 。At this point, Xiao Zheng didn't want to make things difficult for Cai Shaohua anymore. 。Tsai Shaohua is actually just a pawn of Song Guoming. He has to do whatever Song Guoming tells him to do. 。So it wouldn't make sense to embarrass Cai Shaohua, so Xiao Zheng said: "Director Cai, how about this We don't drink full cups either. We just have a little bit, but not finish it." 。"

This is also giving Cai Shaohua face, everyone is casual, then you guys are considered equal." 。Cai Shaohua didn't have any objections, so he said: "That's fine too, listen to Commissioner Xiao." 。"When Cai Shao-hua was about to take a sip, Song Guo-ming interjected: "Director Cai, you're being too foolish, aren't you" Cai Shao-hua, criticized by Song Guo-ming in public, had already blushed from the alcohol. His face, now red all the way to his ears, said through gritted teeth, "Please criticize me, Secretary Song." 。"Well, Song Guoming said, “Director Cai, since Commissioner Xiao has given you the freedom to do whatever you want, don’t go overboard! Your relationship with Commissioner Xiao isn't just ordinary. You both worked in the General Office before. Now that Commissioner Xiao is the leader and you are the Director of the General Office, there are many things you still need to learn from Commissioner Xiao!” Cai Shaohua stood awkwardly and said, “Yes, there are many things I need to learn from Commissioner Xiao.” 。Then, you drink three cups, and Mr. Xiao drinks half a cup, so there is sincerity. 。As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that Song Guoming was using Cai Shaohua as a scapegoat to get Xiao Zheng drunk. 。Cai Shaohua couldn't possibly not understand. A wave of bitterness washed over him. He had to drink three cups while Xiao Zheng only drank half a cup. There was no proper way to drink like this. 。This treatment He's not just beneath me, he's leagues below! In the bureaucracy, everyone has some pride, some sense of decorum. Let alone someone like Cai Shaohua, who's always trying to climb the ladder. 。

But today, Song Guoming's task humiliated him. 。But Cai Shaohua couldn't refuse, nor could he resist. After all, if he wanted to climb the ranks, he needed the recommendation of Song Guoming, the secretary of the Party Committee of Zhen. He said: "Okay, Secretary Song, my attitude wasn't right enough." 。Xiao Wei, I'll have three cups, you can have half a cup, or you don't have to drink if you don't want to. 。Cai Shaohua really did, he downed three cups of wine, one by one, drinking them all in a row. 。Seeing Cai Shaohua's appearance, Xiao Zheng also felt a little sympathy and said, "Well, I'll have a cup too." 。This time, Xiao Zheng didn't drink half a cup, but filled the glass and drank it all in one go. 。The drink once again sparked a round of applause. 。Then, another round of toasts ensued. 。Xiao Zheng, who could sit in his position, obviously felt something was wrong with him. 。His gaze was somewhat distant, and Tao Fang sitting opposite him seemed unusually alluring. 。
