Seven o'clock.
The food is served.
The banquet hall suddenly became lively.
Several county leaders greeted each other and took their seats humbly. Finally, Dong Xuebin sat at the first table. As soon as the leaders took their seats, other civil servants and family members also sat down.
One plate…
Three sets…
Five sets…
The dishes came one after another.
Seven or eight waiters carried plates to serve them. The name of each dish was announced, but maybe it was because of the accent. Anyway, Dong Xuebin didn't hear a single dish clearly, but it still looked good. It gave him an appetite and his stomach growled.
Dong Xuebin thinks the food is good, but others don't think so. It's more than good, it's simply too rich. Looking at some dishes whose names I haven't even heard of, and looking at the golden tableware, even a fool knows These dishes are definitely not cheap. When a cadre who had come to eat once when someone else was treating him saw it, he recognized the plate of 998 lion heads at a glance. He turned his head and told the colleagues next to him, and everyone was excited for a while. Sorry, just a few broken balls costing a thousand yuan? Although Secretary Dong had previously pretended to save a little, saying he was afraid that his wife would be called upon to check the post, in fact, there was no intention of saving on any of these dishes, not even an ordinary home-cooked dish. All of them are the hotel's relatively expensive signature dishes, and everyone gasped secretly when the drinks were served at the end.
Moutai!
All Maotai!
It's not the kind of Guobin Moutai that's relatively cheap at around 100 yuan, but the kind of 43-degree Feitian Moutai that costs 700 to 800 yuan a box!
The hotel waiter directly brought seven or eight boxes over!
Dong Xuebin contacted Su Yan to order the dishes and drinks, and they were arranged in the afternoon, so no one else knew.
Looking at it now, Zhang Dongfang couldn't sit still. "Secretary, why did you order something so expensive?"
Zhang Dongfang's wife stood up and said to the waiter: "Please remove the wine. Change to something else, not this."
Wei Zhixuan and other county leaders also agreed, "Yes, it's too expensive. Let's find another bar. We also have a lot of good wine locally."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said: "You have ordered all the points, and you are still polite to me?"
Zhang Dongfang said: "You're not polite, there's no need to spend so much money."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Everyone has been tired for so long these days. Of course it is necessary. Just listen to me and don't say anything else." After that, he said to the waiter: "No need to change the wine, just follow the order you placed before. , Well, then the wine can be opened. Please help us pour it, thank you. "Today it is Dong Xuebin who is the leader of the county, and others can only listen to what he decides.
"Okay." The waiter immediately went to open the wine.
Lesbians who don’t drink drink Pu’er tea, which is not cheap either.
Chang Lin joked: "Secretary, we can't get through this. Your lover will be here soon. We won't help you with your business, haha."
The county leaders and their loved ones all laughed.
Dong Xuebin said happily: "I was just joking. If the celebration banquet turns out to be shabby, my wife will probably have to worry about me. Come on, let's use chopsticks."
Zhang Dongfang's lover is a very gentle-looking middle-aged woman with almost half of her hair white, making her look a bit older. "Secretary Xue Bin, your wife hasn't come yet. You're not in a hurry to eat. I think we should all wait for our younger siblings. We can't let them eat the leftovers."
Dong Xuebin said: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. She doesn't know when. If there is a traffic jam on the road, let's eat ours without waiting for her."
"No, Dong Shuji."
"Yeah, wait."
"I can't listen to you on this."
"How can we use the chopsticks before your wife arrives?"
Not to mention that the civil servants and family members didn't dare to use chopsticks. Even the county leaders at the first table didn't move.
Meng Hanmei, who was sitting with her husband, blinked and said, "Secretary, why don't you say a few more words to everyone... Oh, no, a few words?"
Chang Lin's wife chuckled.
Dong Xuebin also raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "That's okay." The wine was poured, and the cups of those who could drink were filled with Maotai. Dong Xuebin stood up and pinched the wine glass, and trotted over with his other hand. Su Yan handed over the microphone. The banquet hall is relatively large, so it is more convenient to use a microphone. "The dishes have not been served yet, so I will say a few more sentences. Today is the celebration banquet of the Investment Promotion Culture Festival. This time our county's investment results will not be used." I said that everyone should have heard about it. It is outstanding, beautiful, and perfect. This is the result of everyone’s collective efforts. This is the result of everyone’s hard work. Come on, here is a glass of wine. Let me toast you all. It’s all you can drink. Just drink it, you can’t drink it casually, it’s not that important.” After finishing speaking, Dong Xuebin raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"It's our turn to respect you."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Dong for your hospitality."
When everyone saw it, they all stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.
The same goes for Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan. Everyone drank and enjoyed themselves.
Dong Xuebin put down the empty cup, and Su Yan quickly poured the wine. Dong Xuebin continued: "I will make a decision today. In addition to the bonuses everyone deserves for working overtime for more than a month, everyone's overtime pay for the past few days will be based on five It will be calculated as double the salary and will be paid on time next month!”
"oh!"
"Five times?"
"Thank you Mr. Dong!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Many people were friendly to help this time, such as people from the county party committee and the cultural bureau. However, they did not get the bonuses from the staff of the Investment Promotion Bureau, and the comrades from the Investment Promotion Bureau did not get any. Investments all come with fixed rewards, and everyone has complained in private. But now that the director [Secretary] said five times the salary, everyone has no complaints at all. How many overtime days have you worked in this month or so? Everyone has worked overtime for at least eight or nine days, with almost no rest days. Five times the salary plus bonuses is equivalent to two or three months more salary. They are not as rich as the leading cadres. This is not a small matter. number.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became high.
This shows that, in fact, it is useless to say anything, but the money is still real.
"Come on, let's..." Dong Xuebin was about to move his chopsticks when the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened.
It was Zhang Dongfang's secretary who came in. He walked quickly to Zhang Dongfang and said a few words in Zhang Dongfang's ear. Zhang Dongfang couldn't help but nodded and said to Dong Xuebin and the others: "Secretary Qian of the Municipal Party Committee and several city cadres are also eating. It seems to be the box next to it. "Zhang Dongfang has always had a good relationship with Qian Litao, secretary of the municipal party committee, but since the last few incidents came out, secretary Qian also seems to have opinions about Zhang Dongfang. Lao Zhang was quite helpless. He had been looking for opportunities to make amends, but there was no chance. He didn't know what Secretary Qian was thinking.
Dong Xuebin said, "How about a toast later?"
"Okay." Zhang Dongfang said, knowing that the city leaders were nearby, he must have a toast. Suddenly he thought that even the city leaders rarely come here to eat, so Zhang Dongfang looked at the secretary, "Is this a family dinner?"
His secretary said: "It seems that some guests were invited. I just heard something about Xiaxing City's inspection and exchange when passing by, and I didn't pay attention."
Xiaxing City
Inspection and exchange
Dong Xuebin sweated, looked at his watch, and couldn't help but say goodbye, "I'll make a call, you guys eat first." After saying that, he walked not far away and dialed Xie Huilan's mobile phone. The banquet hall was very large, and there were also There is a special smoking area. Even if you are far away, you can't hear what Dong Xuebin said.
Beep, got through.
"Hey, where are you following?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Huilan's place was very messy. "We've arrived at the hotel."
Dong Xuebin's first guess was, "Then if you don't come over, this bunch of people are waiting for you."
"I didn't leave just now, okay, okay, let's go now, haha." Xie Huilan hung up the phone.
Dong Xuebin knew that she must have been pulled from the airport by the city's pick-up vehicle and went directly to the hotel to meet Qian Litao, the secretary of the municipal party committee who was going to pick up the people from Xiaxing City. It had been so long since she had been there. He went to Dong Xuebin's banquet hall instead of following Qian Shuji for dinner. Dong Xuebin couldn't help but feel helpless. This Huilan is like this every time. If you go to other places to socialize, at least tell me. , Brother, I am still waiting for you stupidly. Alas, my wife is so unreliable.
After returning, Dong Xuebin sat down.
Zhang Dongfang's wife asked, "Are my brothers and sisters coming soon?"
"Well, we're here." Just a moment after Dong Xuebin finished speaking, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open from the outside again.
Immediately, an incredibly beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, making everyone who saw her couldn't help but be amazed.
This is a woman. She is a woman in black trousers and a white shirt. She looks like she is in her early thirties. She has a lace women's shirt tucked into her trousers and a brown belt around her waist. She looked particularly capable and mature, and the sound of her pointed black high-heeled shoes on the ground was particularly pleasing to the ears. Or because of the problem of water and soil, there are not many beauties in Jiaolin County, and not many good-looking ones. Therefore, almost everyone here has rarely seen such a beautiful woman face to face in real life. Many people were stunned. one time.
The woman glanced around inside.
"Who are you?" asked a cadre from a nearby investment promotion bureau.
This place is reserved by their neighboring county, so it won't be a big deal to let an outsider in.
The next moment, Dong Xuebin waved to the woman under everyone's stunned eyes, "Huilan, here, you are half an hour late."
The woman smiled and said, "There's something going on over there, huh? Why aren't the dishes being moved?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Aren't we all waiting for you? I told everyone to use chopsticks, but everyone insisted on waiting for you to come over. Look at how much you are delaying things."
The woman said: "Hey, I can't help you guys, I'll punish myself with a drink later." After saying that, she walked up and sat in the reserved seat next to Dong Xuebin.
What don’t you understand now
Holy shit! Is this the wife of Secretary Dong?
Your mother is so beautiful!
