Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "You and Xiao Shang are both my secretaries. I may need one of you to help drive in the future. Xiao Shang doesn't have a driver's license yet, and you have a driver's license, but you lack opportunities to practice. Today is a good opportunity for you to try."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng say this, Jiang Pei could only bite the bullet and open the door, but she said, "Boss, I am mainly concerned about your safety. I am a road killer, and you are sitting next to me, aren't you afraid?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, because I'm sitting next to you, the exercise effect will be better."

Jiang Pei sighed, and the car moved forward slowly at a snail's pace.

Fang Zhicheng gave some pointers from time to time, and slowly, Jiang Pei dared to step on the accelerator. Jiang Pei had a driver's license, and although her skills were not proficient, she still understood the basic traffic rules, so Fang Zhicheng simply didn't say much and let Jiang Pei drive by herself.

Jiang Pei drove to a restaurant near her former primary school. The restaurant was small, but clean and elegant. There were not many parking spaces in front of the restaurant, so it was difficult for Jiang Pei to drive. If she had to park, she would collapse. So Fang Zhicheng asked Jiang Pei to get out of the car and parked the car skillfully.

The proprietress looked very young, about the same age as Jiang Pei. She smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you were transferred to work in the district committee?"

Jiang Pei nodded and smiled, "It's been a while. This is my colleague. Do you have a private room?"

The proprietress showed a helpless look on her face and said, "Sorry, the private room has been booked..."

Jiang Pei glanced at Fang Zhicheng and wondered if Fang Zhicheng would mind.

Fang Zhicheng smiled casually and said, "Whatever, just go to the lobby bar downstairs. It's quite spacious and lively."

Jiang Pei said hurriedly: "Then let's do it in the lobby."

The boss's wife didn't show any special expression on her face, but she was secretly wondering in her heart, Jiang Pei's colleague was not very old, but he spoke in an old-fashioned way, and it seemed that Jiang Pei listened to his opinions very much.

The two found a corner to sit down, and Jiang Pei took the initiative to open the tableware. Fang Zhicheng didn't plan to drink at first, after all, he was driving a car, but when the dishes were served, Fang Zhicheng was moved, and smiled and said, "Would you like some wine?"

Jiang Pei nodded weakly and said, "Then I'll drink with you."

The restaurant was small and didn't have any good wine, so Jiang Pei ordered two small bottles of Jinjiu, and they drank slowly. The dishes were homely and had a unique flavor, and before they knew it, they had finished a small bottle.

Jiang Pei asked in a low voice: "Do you want more?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Let's have another bottle. I'm in a good mood today. I haven't drunk in private for a long time. It's much more enjoyable than drinking at the table."

Seeing that Fang Zhicheng was in high spirits, Jiang Pei couldn't let him down, so she said, "Then I'll drink with you a little more."

Jiang Pei has a good alcohol tolerance, but she rarely drinks this kind of strong wine. It has the taste of Chinese medicine, and she is a little uncomfortable with it. After two small bottles of wine, she actually feels a little dizzy. However, she feels that she is getting more and more excited, "Boss, can you drink more?"

Fang Zhicheng felt that he had had enough, so he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I won't drink anymore. If you want to drink, order another bottle."

Jiang Pei asked the boss lady for two more bottles and pushed one of them in front of Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng looked at Jiang Pei helplessly, knowing that this woman had forgotten that he was her leader because of the alcohol.

Fang Zhicheng smiled. He had asked Jiang Pei out tonight to relax. Since she wanted to continue drinking, he would accompany her. Fang Zhicheng felt good. Although his head was a little heavy, he was not drunk. The alcohol content of Jinjiu was not particularly high, so even if he drank this small bottle, it should not be a big deal.

After drinking some more, a man came over from a distance, holding a glass of wine, stared at Jiang Pei for a few times, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Teacher Jiang? Why are you here?"

Jiang Pei glanced at the man and said, "It turns out to be Wang Xiao. I am here to have dinner with my colleagues today."

Wang Xiao took a look at Fang Zhicheng and thought he looked familiar. But Fang Zhicheng was very young after all, and there was always a little difference compared to the TV, so he did not recognize him. However, he knew that Fang Zhicheng must be a cadre of the district committee, so he said with admiration: "I toast to you and your colleagues."

Jiang Pei and Fang Zhicheng naturally dealt with him and drank a cup. Wang Xiao did not bother him any more and went upstairs. Not long after, Wang Xiao came back and said, "Jiang Pei, a leader from the District Education Bureau is visiting here today. You used to be a teacher in our elementary school. Why don't you go up and help?"

Jiang Pei glanced at Fang Zhicheng, who nodded. He knew what Principal Wang meant. Sanyuanqiao Primary School invited the staff of the District Education Bureau to dinner, so they must have something to ask for. Jiang Pei is now the secretary of the District Party Secretary's Office. Principal Wang might be able to use Jiang Pei to get the District Education Bureau to give him some face and get things done smoothly.

Jiang Pei went up to the second-floor box. There were more than a dozen people sitting at the table. Principal Wang pointed at a middle-aged man and introduced him, "This is Director Dou from the Education Equipment Office of the District Education Bureau. The others are also leaders of the Equipment Office."

The Education Equipment Office is responsible for the upgrading of educational technology equipment in the entire district and has a number of resources in hand. Today, Principal Wang invited them to dinner to discuss the upgrading of school educational equipment. If Director Dou agrees, then as the vice principal in charge of educational facilities, he will personally make a lot of money after handling it.

Jiang Pei nodded and introduced herself: "I am a teacher at Sanyuanqiao Primary School, my name is Jiang Pei."

Wang Xiao quickly added: "Teacher Jiang has been promoted and is now a secretary in the district party secretary's office..."

If I were just a teacher, how could I get the attention of the people in the district education bureau

Jiang Pei was not thick-skinned, and her face was flushed, but because she had drunk alcohol, it was not very obvious. When Director Dou of the Equipment Office heard that Jiang Pei was the secretary of the district party secretary, he immediately smiled and said, "So you are the leader of the district party committee. I toast to Secretary Jiang."

For the first time, Jiang Pei realized that the secretary of the district party secretary was so powerful. She had attended similar dinners before, usually as a vase. Now, because of her status, no one present looked down on her anymore.

Chapter 0636 Half-pulled, half-drunk and happy

Jiang Pei drank a round of wine upstairs, and drank another two liang of wine. Although she looked sober, she was just trying hard to keep it. After going downstairs, Jiang Pei smiled and said to Fang Zhicheng: "Boss, I am very happy today. I just met a lot of old colleagues."

Fang Zhicheng noticed that Jiang Pei was a little drunk, and he himself had a headache, so he sighed, "So you drank a few more glasses?"

Jiang Pei nodded and whispered solemnly: "I used to toast others, but now they toast me. It feels different."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly. He quickly understood the meaning of Jiang Pei's slightly confusing words and said, "They toast you because they think you are the leader of the district committee. But as a leader, they generally won't be as stupid as you and get yourself drunk."

Jiang Pei shook her head, her eyes flew, she pointed at Fang Zhicheng and said in a tender voice: "I'm not stupid, you are stupid..."

Jiang Pei looked extremely charming, with her eyes half-closed as if containing autumn water, and her light pink cheeks full of luster, as if they could be blown away.

Fang Zhicheng sighed, thinking that Jiang Pei must be really drunk, and he had reached his limit. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave by then, and neither of them would be able to go back. So he called the proprietress and hastily paid the bill.

The car could not be driven and he could only pick it up the next day. Fang Zhicheng stopped a taxi, but after getting in the car, he felt embarrassed because he didn't know where to send Jiang Pei.

Sun Bai is jealous. If he saw Jiang Pei drunk like this, he would probably give her a beating again.
