She completely forgets what Jiang Chaoqun told her. Jiang Chaoqun told her to get Professor Liu drunk and to make Ma Yingjie drunk. But now Li Xiaomei stands up and makes trouble, so Mei Jie is not happy. She looks at Li Xiaomei and says, "I didn't know that Director Li is so protective of County Mayor Ma. She doesn't even allow us to offer a toast. Mayor, do you feel ashamed? I feel ashamed. How can a man not drink a toast from a woman and ask for help from a woman? The mayor and I are so ashamed. It seems that it's time for me and the mayor to end this. "
Ma Yingjie is stunned. It seems that Mei Jie is observing him. Mei Jie saw him peeping at Li Xiaomei. If he doesn't drink today, Mei Jie may not be able to stop her mouth. However, with Liu Rusheng's help, there shouldn't be any big problems. After thinking for a while, he said to Mei Jie, "Since Director Mei has said so, I, as a little brother, would like to propose a toast to the three sisters first. Here, I'm not a deputy county magistrate anymore. I'm your little brother, and I still need your help."
Ma Yingjie's words are very humble, which makes Mei Jie feel a little embarrassed to continue. So she puts away her sword and says, "I will be the first to drink the toast from County Mayor Ma." Then she drinks the toast again. Ma Yingjie has no choice but to drink the toast. After toasting Mei Jie, he has to toast Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei still wants to argue, but seeing that Ma Yingjie has already drunk the toast, she knows that if she says more, Mei Jie will take advantage of her. She is no match for Mei Jie on this point.
The female mayor finally has a chance to propose a toast to Ma Yingjie. She says hurriedly, "The leader wants me to drink the toast."
Mei Jie doesn't want to accept it. She says to the female mayor, "Brother Ma said that he is our brother here, not the Deputy County Mayor. If you want to drink, let's drink together."
Ma Yingjie smiled and said to the female mayor, "I'll do it." He gulped down another glass of wine. While the female generals were making Ma Yingjie drink, Jiang Chaoqun was not idle either. He kept flattering Professor Liu, so naturally, Professor Liu drank a few more glasses.
Ma Yingjie felt that there was something wrong with the situation today. It was as if everyone was targeting Professor Liu and him.
At this moment, Liu Rusheng appeared to be exceptionally carefree. One moment, he would eat, the next moment, he would look at Li Xiaomei. He was a person who didn't hide his emotions no matter where he went. At this point, Jie Jie was envious of him.
The secretary of the Nanzi Lake District Committee was always looking for opportunities to toast Jiang Chaoqun and Professor Liu. It could be seen that the two of them had been having a secret discussion, and he would not force them to join in. Just like Liu Rusheng, he would look at one and look at the other.
Ma Yingjie clearly knew that there were many things in the officialdom that had to be cautious. This cautiousness meant that one was not allowed to say anything wrong. Even at the wine table, if one said something wrong, he would always be entangled. However, at the wine table, matters between men and women could be talked about freely. The more they talked about it, the more exciting it would be. Apart from the matters between men and women, what else could they talk about?
Ma Yingjie wanted to lead the topic to the topic between men and women. He wanted to make the atmosphere at the wine table more climax, so he said to Mei Jie, "Sister Mei, give me some color. I really can't drink this wine."
When Mei Jie saw that Ma Yingjie actually led the topic to her, she was moved for a moment. She had treated Ma Yingjie like that, but it seemed that he really didn't care about it. On the contrary, it gave her enough platform to play her strengths in this aspect. This matter between men and women, everyone could talk about it freely, and it was as exciting as it could be. In the officialdom, there were usually most men, and women played the role of embellishment and balance. Women were also used by men to have fun. If there were not three female officials at the wine table today, these men would definitely hire young girls to accompany them to drink. After all, men liked this kind of thing. There was no banquet without flowers. Besides, alcohol and women were always closely linked. Didn't men drink to vent and have a good time? Professor Liu was so excited that he started chatting with Jiang Chaoqun like they were brothers. And his excitement was also aroused by Mei Jie. Now, Mei Jie didn't throw wine at them. Looking at her posture, Mei Jie could at least drink more than a catty. With this kind of drinking capacity, Ma Yingjie would definitely be drunk. He had something in his heart, and he didn't want to let himself down.
So Mei Jie told a joke. There was a primary school female teacher who tested a male student one day. She asked the male student to do an addition question. The question was: What is five plus five? The male student stretched out one hand, and then another. When he was about to count, the female teacher said, "Put your hands in your trouser pockets. Don't take them out to count." The male student had no choice but to put his hands in his trouser pockets. The female teacher asked again, "What is five plus five?" The male student counted and counted until he finally got it. He said loudly to the female teacher, "Teacher, five plus five equals eleven."
After Mei Jie finished her joke, Professor Liu took the lead in laughing. Liu Rusheng had been at large, but when he heard the joke, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed. Then Ma Yingjie also laughed, and so did the secretary of the district committee. The three women also laughed. Li Xiaomei saw that all the men were laughing, and suddenly understood. So the answer to eleven was the little boy placing his hands beside him and using them as fingers to add to five plus five.
With this laugh, the atmosphere at the table was no longer as tense. After a while, Jiang Chaoqun said, "It's rare for Professor Liu to come to our Qin County, and Boss Liu can be considered half a Qin County citizen now. It's rare for everyone to get together. Today's banquet was specially prepared for Professor Liu to calm down. Since the Chief has come to Beijing, shouldn't we, the people at the grassroots, show 100% enthusiasm? If not, if the leader in Beijing did not drink well, I will be the host. Come, let's give a toast to the big professor in Beijing. "After saying that, he raised his glass and gave a toast to Professor Liu.
Ma Yingjie knew that tonight's banquet was a Hongmen Banquet, but Ma Yingjie still raised his glass. There were all sorts of banquets in the government circles, but there was one thing. Where the authority is, the alcohol will follow. Whoever has the authority will control the format of the whole banquet. Take this banquet for example. On the surface, it was for Professor Liu, but in the dark, it was a self-directed play by Jiang Chaoqun. Just because Boss Hu did not come, Ma Yingjie's heart was beating fast. In addition, Mei Jie kept forcing him to drink, so today's banquet seemed a bit strange.
In any government circles, to see the direction of the political wind, not only must one keep an eye on the first and second leaders, but also the trusted aides around them. They were often the mouthpieces of the first and second leaders. Today, Jiang Chaoqun's mouthpiece was obviously Mei Jie. Her words and actions clearly represented some of Jiang Chaoqun's opinions and thoughts.
Now, it was a drinking competition between Mei Jie, Professor Liu, and Ma Yingjie. A woman against two men, this scene should be wonderful and intense. However, in Ma Yingjie's eyes, he always thought that this drinking competition was a bit tragic. Because among the people present, except for Mei Jie, who was Jiang Chaoqun's subordinate, the others were not all determined to be on Jiang Chaoqun's side. The secretary of the district committee and the district mayor more or less wanted to maintain a neutral position, but Li Xiaomei would not buy them at all. Only Mei Jie was left to drink.
Ma Yingjie also knew that today was Jiang Chaoqun's performance, but he still could not figure out why he was singing and which song he was singing. Of course, Ma Yingjie also believed that tonight, Jiang Chaoqun wanted to kill two birds with one stone, or even more. He wanted to win a lot of things in this drinking competition. But why was Liu Rusheng so free and unfettered? Did he know what Jiang Chaoqun was playing?
After drinking a toast to Professor Liu, Ma Yingjie thought that this drinking competition was coming to an end. Obviously, Mei Jie also drank a lot. Professor Liu's tongue was already tied. If he continued to drink, he would definitely pass out. Ma Yingjie tried hard to control himself, but he could not guarantee what the result would be if he continued to drink.
Both Ma Yingjie and Professor Liu drank a lot. If they continued to drink, they would not be able to hold on. Besides, when drinking in the officialdom, there were usually no conditions. Now, it was obvious that Jiang Chaoqun wanted to get Ma Yingjie and Professor Liu drunk, and he even said that it was hospitality and respect. However, there was a knife hidden in the wine, but Ma Yingjie did not know where the knife would go.
As the saying goes, "The food is seen, the wine is drunk, men are drunk by women, and women are bewitched by men." That night, Professor Liu and Ma Yingjie were caught by Mei Jie alone. Ma Yingjie wanted to ask Li Xiaomei to save him several times, but Li Xiaomei did not know whether she knew or just pretended not to.
It was not Li Xiaomei's fault. All women had a common problem, which could not be changed no matter what. They could not let other women steal the limelight on any occasion. When Mei Hao was stolen by the female mayor, he immediately competed with her, and when Mei Jie stole the limelight, Li Xiaomei also participated in the competition.
As a result, after a round of drinking, not only was Li Xiaomei's face red, but her neck was also red. Moreover, half of her breasts were jiggling, making it difficult for people not to fantasize. He saw Professor Liu's eyes sweep over her a few times, and then he looked at Liu Rusheng's eyes frequently sweeping up, which made Mei Jie feel uncomfortable. She also deliberately pressed down her collar, and her cleavage was sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, making Professor Liu's heart run wild and he drank more and more wine.
Unknowingly, the drinking went on for more than two hours. A box of Blue Dream was gone, but Jiang Chaoqun still wanted to drink with Professor Liu. Mei Jie did not show any weakness, and insisted on exchanging twelve punches with Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie's stomach was already burning. Besides, he had so many things on his mind. He could not let go of Sisi, and he had been feeling guilty all the time. Naturally, his tolerance for alcohol was not as good as usual, and his fighting ability had decreased a lot. When he saw Mei Jie leaning over, waves of nausea came over him, and he almost wanted to do a live broadcast on the spot. Therefore, he quickly resisted the nausea and drank a few mouthfuls of tea, and said with his tongue rolled, "I, Ma Yingjie, admit defeat. Drinking with the beautiful director is better than drinking several glasses. The wine does not intoxicate me, but I am intoxicated. I have no more tolerance, I surrender." With that, Ma Yingjie stood up and rushed out.
