Chapter 1098

Zhao Desan felt extremely awkward, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Lan Mei, who was standing behind him, dressed beautifully and sexily, lowered her head with a red face and didn't say a word, not even daring to look at them.

In order to win over his own forces, Ma Debang couldn't fall into the well at this time, so he appeared to have no intention of teasing, smiled peacefully, and said: "Alright, Xiao Lan, Comrade Xiao Zhao, let's go. Let's go down and have a meal. The leaders are all downstairs. It won't be good if you don't go. It's nothing. Comrade Xiao Zhao happened to run into you when he came to Sanya, what's this, Comrade Xiao Zhao, right?" As he spoke, Ma Debang patted Zhao Desan on the shoulder and gave him a wink.

Zhao Desan didn't speak, which was considered a tacit response. He gradually recovered from the extremely awkward situation, turned back to Lan Mei and said: "Section Chief Lan, let's go. The leaders are all there. If we don't go down, this matter, which is very normal, will be washed away even if we jump into the Yellow River."

Ma Debang helped out and said: "That is, Comrade Xiao Zhao is right. Go down and show your face. This is a very normal thing. The more you cover it up, the more suspicious the leaders of the unit will be, and the more you describe it, the darker it will be. Let's go, let's go down." Ma Debang walked forward and hugged Lan Mei's back, and she bit the bullet and followed them downstairs with trepidation.

Along the way, Section Chief Li and Section Chief Zhang teased Zhao Desan from time to time, while Ma Debang always appeared very nonchalant and serious. When they reached the door of the private room and heard the laughter of those leaders of the unit talking and laughing inside, Zhao Desan's head grew big, and he stopped and hesitated.

Ma Debang saw that Zhao Desan was very embarrassed, so he simply turned around and hugged him directly: "What's the matter? You brat, what are you afraid of if you dare to do it? This is not a violation of regulations. No one will do anything to you. You brat, aren't you usually very active? Don't be like an eggplant, be more open."

Zhao Desan glanced at Ma Debang sideways, and under his "encouragement," he hardened his heart, looked at Lan Mei, who was hesitating and very nervous, nodded firmly to her, and told her not to be afraid with his eyes. Then, led by Ma Debang, he walked into the private room.

When they entered the private room, the leaders of the Construction Committee, big and small, gathered their eyes on them simultaneously. After a moment of silence, they suddenly became noisy. Zheng Tulu laughed and said: "Xiao Lan, Comrade Xiao Zhao, everyone was afraid that you would be embarrassed to come down."

The atmosphere in the private room was unusually noisy because of this, but it made Zhao Desan and Lan Mei feel very awkward, feeling like a mule being pulled to the street to be shown off, extremely ashamed. Isn't this old bastard Zheng Tulu just wanting to make me lose face? Zhao Desan thought to himself, he was not the kind of person who would easily bow his head and admit defeat. The greater the pressure he faced, the more it could stimulate his potential. Although he was clearly extremely nervous in his heart, and his face also showed an extremely awkward expression, he still looked nonchalant and smiled: "Director Zheng, look at what you said. The leaders of the Construction Committee are all here, how could I not come down?"

Secretary Zhang found the right time to look at Lan Mei, who had been lowering her head and not speaking with a red face, and said in a half-joking tone: "Hey, Xiao Lan, you said Comrade Xiao Zhao came to find you from thousands of miles away, why did you hide him in the room and not let him come out? If Director Zheng hadn't said Comrade Xiao Zhao came today, our group of leaders wouldn't have known. You are also a leading cadre of our Construction Committee, you must report your ideological work properly today."

Old man Zhang's teasing made Lan Mei, who was already nervous and speechless, feel that she had really lost face. The "lifelong reputation" she had gained through hard work in the Construction Committee over the years was splashed out like a bucket of water today. She was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say at all.

Knowing that Section Chief Lan definitely couldn't handle such an awkward situation, Zhao Desan calmed down after a brief adaptation. Instead, he could take this opportunity to show his masculine charm in front of Lan Mei. So he laughed without changing his face or heart: "Secretary Zhang, please don't mess up the mandarin ducks. I saw that you leaders all came to Sanya for inspection, and my heart was also itchy, wanting to come and learn from you, so I came. Since I came, I happened to run into Section Chief Lan. I originally wanted to join you, but who knew you all went to Yalong Bay today? I failed to report my work to the leaders in time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Old man Zhang smoked and laughed: "You young man, you are really eloquent. I don't know how many girls you have deceived besides Xiao Lan? Haha..."

Zhao Desan echoed and laughed: "Secretary Zhang, look at what you said. If I had such great ability, I would still be single now? If you really have this heart, you can introduce me to a partner."

Other cadres didn't have any opinions on Zhao Desan, just watching the play with a mentality of fun, but were amused by his humorous and witty language and laughed loudly.

Ma Debang immediately smiled and said: "Alright, sit down and chat while eating." He specifically ordered the waiter to add two chairs and winked at Zhao Desan, asking him and Lan Mei to sit down.

After sitting down, Zheng Tulu arranged to the waiter: "Add two sets of tableware and two glasses."

After the tableware and glasses were served, Zheng Tulu smiled and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you pour the wine for yourself and Section Chief Lan first. Today, in front of so many leaders of the Construction Committee, you must admit your mistake properly. You came to Sanya without contacting the organization. This is your fault."

Zhao Desan immediately slapped himself a few times, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's my fault for not contacting the organization in time. Today, all the leaders of the Construction Committee are here, and I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, will make amends to everyone." As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine, stood up, looked at everyone with a low and servile face, and said: "Director Zheng, Secretary Zhang, Deputy Director Ma, and all section chiefs, I failed to contact the organization in time. This is my ideological understanding that is not in place. I toast every leader a glass and admit my mistake to everyone first."

Ma Debang was the first to raise his glass, but everyone saw that Zheng Tulu didn't react, and the hand holding the glass shrank back. "Old Ma, look at you, what's the rush? Comrade Xiao Zhao doesn't understand the rules, can't you understand? Everyone sitting here is his leader, how can he toast everyone with one glass of wine? This is not a rule." Zheng Tulu leaned on the chair and chuckled, saying unhurriedly.

Fuck you, Zheng Fatty! Are you intentionally making things difficult for me? Comparing drinking, I'll drink you to death! Zhao Desan knew that Zheng Tulu seemed to want to make him lose face in front of so many leaders of the unit today. So Zhao Desan slapped himself twice again, admitted his mistake with a fawning smile: "Director Zheng, look at my memory! How could I forget this rule? I'm too ignorant, too ignorant. You are the biggest among the leaders present, so I will toast you first." As he spoke, he raised it to him.

Seeing this, Ma Debang sat down quietly. He also knew that Zheng Tulu had always had opinions about him and wanted to suppress him in the position of Deputy Director, always finding opportunities to make him look embarrassed in front of everyone. This director with a deputy title not only had no real power but even had no right to speak, which was really cowardly.

Zheng Tulu took a puff of cigarette, raised his glass unhurriedly, and raised it symbolically. When Zhao Desan's glass was raised, he had already shrunk back and brought the glass to his mouth. Zhao Desan was a bit awkward, stunned for a moment, drank the wine as if nothing had happened, and then continued to pour a glass of wine, facing Old man Zhang: "Secretary Zhang, come, I toast you one. It's my fault for not contacting the organization in time today. I am deeply admitting my mistake to you, Secretary Zhang."

Old man Zhang looked at him kindly and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, remember in the future, no matter where you go and what happens, the first thing you must contact is the organization. You must deeply realize the importance of the organization ideologically. Seeing that your attitude of admitting your mistake is very sincere today, I will reluctantly drink a glass of wine. Come." Old man Zhang clinked glasses with Zhao Desan, drank a glass of wine, smacked his lips after putting down the glass, looked at Lan Mei who was lowering her head intentionally, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lan, Zhao Desan, this young man is very smart and sensible, really teachable. It's your blessing to have such a capable subordinate under your hand. Why are you still lowering your head and feeling embarrassed?"

Zhao Desan glanced sideways at Section Chief Lan, who was still unable to adapt to the awkward mentality, and said to Secretary Zhang with a fawning smile: "Secretary Zhang, you are really flattering me. You praised me like this, and our Section Chief Lan is embarrassed."

Zheng Tulu looked at Zhao Desan and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you have only toasted two glasses of wine. This large group of leaders is waiting. Why did you stop? Don't you want to drink? If you don't want to drink, let your leader drink for you."

"No, no." Zhao Desan immediately denied with a fawning smile and hurriedly filled the wine to toast Ma Debang.

After toasting a full circle and drinking a glass with more than a dozen leaders, big and small, in the private room, Zhao Desan drank more than half a bottle of wine by himself.

After pulling them out to show them off in front of all the leaders of the unit, and watching Zhao Desan drink so much at once, Zheng Tulu didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and then greeted everyone to eat dishes and drink wine. Free combination began, and all section-level cadres scrambled to toast Zheng Tulu, Secretary Zhang, and Ma Debang, the three party members of the Construction Committee. Under the influence of alcohol, the atmosphere became active. Lan Mei, who had been ashamed, gradually adapted to this environment, raised her head slightly, flushed, and looked at Zhao Desan faintly. Zhao Desan returned a firm look, nodded to her, and hinted at her to persist. ===== CHAPTER 1099 =====
