Chapter 3942: The medicine bought for me

After Vice Mayor Tang was crowded out of the hospital by the crowd, they took three cars separately and went to some construction sites in the district to inspect them. Because Zhao Desan had indeed done an outstanding job in the district's various construction works, Vice Mayor Tang couldn't find any faults, so he changed his position and let Wu Min take him to see the implementation of those support funds. However, regarding the implementation of these funds, Vice Mayor Tang seemed dissatisfied, because on those main streets planted with ginkgo trees, a small portion of the tens of thousands of ginkgo trees had died due to human reasons, and another portion had died naturally. Although the survival rate was very high, it still aroused Vice Mayor Tang's dissatisfaction. On the spot, in front of Wu Min, he expressed his views. He frowned, looked at a withered ginkgo tree, and said earnestly, "Old Wu, in my opinion, the implementation of these support funds is a bit worse than I imagined. Planting ginkgo trees to beautify the environment of the main streets in the district is indeed a good idea, but it must be difficult to operate in practice. It must be combined with the actual situation on our side. Our Hexi Province is located north of the Yangtze River, and the rainfall throughout the four seasons is relatively small, and the climate is relatively dry. It cannot be compared with Chongqing. The climate in Chongqing is humid and the rainfall is abundant. No matter what kind of tree is planted, the survival rate is high. Ginkgo trees are certainly very good-looking, but they are wealth trees. Since they are planted, they must be well maintained. You only planted them, but the follow-up work was not done. There was no maintenance. Look, some of them are dead now, right? You didn't do well on this point."

Although Vice Mayor Tang had the intention of deliberately finding fault, Wu Min felt that his words were reasonable, leaving her no room to refute. She smiled awkwardly, nodded, and said with a sincere attitude, "Vice Mayor Tang is right. I will arrange it immediately later to do a good job in follow-up maintenance, striving to let these ginkgo trees play a role in beautifying the environment of the main streets in the district."

Vice Mayor Tang nodded with a frown, and felt a jolt in his heart again. He asked Wu Min, "How much did each of these trees cost to purchase?"

Suddenly being asked this by Vice Mayor Tang, Wu Min really couldn't answer for a moment, so she said with some embarrassment, "I can't think of this for a moment. I'll wait until I go back and check it before giving Vice Mayor Tang an answer, okay?"

Vice Mayor Tang nodded, looked at the time, and it was already noon, so he said, "It's noon now, and everyone has been running around with me all morning. Let's go eat first, okay?"

Wu Min hurriedly nodded, then gave Liu Deliang a wink. Liu Deliang hurriedly greeted the district party committee reception center, arranged a table of food and dishes at the district party committee reception center, and booked a suite for Vice Mayor Tang to rest after lunch.

After several people got into the car, they drove to the district party committee reception center in a grand manner. Under the enthusiastic greeting of the lobby manager of the catering department, they led the leaders of the district party committee and district government, as well as Vice Mayor Tang and his entourage, into the most luxurious private room of the catering department of the district party committee reception center.

Wu Min, Liu Deliang, and others let Vice Mayor Tang sit in the guest of honor position. Wu Min sat on Vice Mayor Tang's left hand side, Liu Deliang sat on Vice Mayor Tang's right hand side, and Director Old Wang of the district government office sat at the end of the table. The person sitting on the right hand side of the guest of honor generally bears the responsibility of taking care of the guest of honor. After a table of people sat down, Liu Deliang asked the waiter to bring the menu and handed it to Vice Mayor Tang with both hands, saying with a fawning smile, "Vice Mayor Tang, you order the dishes."

Vice Mayor Tang took the menu and flipped through two pages, suddenly remembered something, turned and handed it to Wu Min beside him, and said with a smile, "Old Wu, you order. Ladies first, right?"

"It's better for Vice Mayor Tang to order..." Wu Min declined with both hands.

The two of them pushed back and forth for a while. Vice Mayor Tang was too lazy to order dishes, so he put down the menu and said to Liu Deliang with a smile, "Old Liu, whatever you usually eat, we'll eat the same dishes."

This request was not difficult for Liu Deliang. Generally, when they ate at the district party committee reception center, there would be a standard meal, basically all poultry, meat, chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Thus, Liu Deliang said to the waiter, "Then serve the dishes according to our district government's standard!"

The waiter had an enthusiastic smile on her face, nodded, and asked again, "Then what wine will the leaders drink today?"

"Vice Mayor Tang, what wine shall we drink?" Liu Deliang asked for Vice Mayor Tang's opinion with a smile.

Vice Mayor Tang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have Wuliangye."

Before long, a table of delicacies and several bottles of Wuliangye were placed on the table, and the atmosphere in the private room became active. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, several leaders began to move freely, toasting each other. Because Vice Mayor Tang was the leader with the highest official position among those present today, several leaders of the district party committee and district government basically aimed their "spears" at him. After a few rounds, Vice Mayor Tang was drunk, and his words and actions could no longer be controlled by his brain. He turned his red, glowing big face, smiled lecherously at Wu Min sitting beside him, and quietly reached out a hand to rest on Wu Min's thigh, saying with a smile, "Old Wu, but having said that, your use of those support funds is quite novel. It is indeed very necessary to use it to beautify the district's environment..."

Wu Min pulled her legs together slightly, smiled with some embarrassment, hurriedly picked up a glass of wine to toast, and said, "Come, Vice Mayor Tang, I'll toast you again, thanking you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the district to inspect and guide work."

Seeing this, Vice Mayor Tang was not very embarrassed to refuse. Liu Deliang had already poured a full glass of wine for Vice Mayor Tang in a two-tael high glass. Vice Mayor Tang was already dizzy and swollen from drinking. Seeing such a large glass of wine, he felt terrified in his heart.

"Vice Mayor Tang, come, I will toast you on behalf of our district party committee and district government." As Wu Min spoke, she raised the wine glass and touched it lightly against Vice Mayor Tang's wine glass.

Vice Mayor Tang now had no steps to go down, so he could only bite the bullet and raise the two-tael high wine glass in his hand, lift his neck, and hard-headedly poured the wine down. Wu Min only symbolically licked the wine glass lightly, then put it down. Seeing Vice Mayor Tang's face already flushed red, she said with a smile, "Vice Mayor Tang really has a good capacity for liquor."

Not long after Vice Mayor Tang finished drinking this glass of wine, he lay on the wine table, completely drunk. Seeing Vice Mayor Tang drunk, Wu Min said let's break up, let Liu Deliang help Vice Mayor Tang into the room arranged in advance at the district party committee reception center to rest, and she herself got into the car and returned to the office of the district party committee, locked the door from the inside, and leaned on the boss chair to close her eyes and rest.

But Wu Min closed her eyes to rest for less than half an hour when her phone suddenly rang, waking her up. Picking up the phone and seeing the name on the screen, Wu Min's expression became solemn again, because the person calling was none other than Vice Mayor Tang, who had eaten with her at noon. Wu Min hesitated for a long time before answering the phone, pretending to be drunk on the phone and saying, "Hello! Old Tang, what's wrong?"

"Old Wu, I just woke up and found that I was in the room at the district party committee reception center. I washed my face, and now my head is much clearer. Old Wu, where are you?" Vice Mayor Tang asked.

"Me? I'm at the district party committee, and I still have some work on hand." Realizing Vice Mayor Tang's thoughts, Wu Min found an excuse to decline in advance.

Sure enough, Vice Mayor Tang said, "Old Wu, put the work on hand aside first and come over here. I have some work matters I want to talk to you about."

Wu Min smiled and said, "What work? It won't be too late to talk after Vice Mayor Tang has rested well."

Vice Mayor Tang said, "I have rested well. Old Wu, come over. I have some work I want to talk to you about."

Wu Min shirked, "But I still have some work to deal with on hand, and I can't spare the time?"

Vice Mayor Tang knew that Wu Min was finding an excuse to decline and didn't want to see him, so he smiled coldly and said, "Secretary Wu, I want to talk to you about the implementation of those support funds and understand the use of your funds specifically. I hope Secretary Wu can still come over, okay?"

Hearing Vice Mayor Tang's threatening words, Wu Min's heart skipped a beat. She knew that if this guy couldn't get his way today, he would definitely not give up. If he was really angry because of this and wanted to find an excuse to put pressure on her, he could find one easily. In officialdom, if a superior leader wants to bring down the people below, it can be said to be easy. If you want to find trouble for her, you can find it easily. Thinking of this, Wu Min, out of helplessness, reluctantly agreed to him and said, "Alright then, I'll put the work on hand aside first."

Seeing Wu Min make a compromise and concession, Vice Mayor Tang laughed "Hehe" on the phone, and then added, "Old Wu, don't forget to buy me some medicine when you come. I just woke up from drinking, and my body feels a bit uncomfortable."

Wu Min asked, "Hangover medicine?"

Hearing Wu Min's words, Vice Mayor Tang first laughed ha-ha, and then said implicitly, "It's the medicine I asked Xiao Zhao to buy for me last time. But you remember, don't buy me laxatives this time!"

Wu Min finally understood. Vice Mayor Tang was asking her to buy male aphrodisiacs. She was speechless, but she couldn't do anything about Vice Mayor Tang. She hung up the phone silently, and with a dizzy head, walked out of the office again, asking the driver Xiao Chen to drive her to the district party committee reception center.

Because Wu Min drank a lot at noon, her head was still dizzy at this moment. When she got into the car to go to the district party committee reception center, she leaned on the seat to seize the time to close her eyes and rest. Without knowing it, she actually fell asleep in a daze. It wasn't until the driver drove her to the entrance of the district party committee reception center and woke her up that she suddenly remembered she had forgotten to buy medicine.

"Ouch!" Wu Min patted her forehead helplessly and hurriedly ordered the driver, "Xiao Chen, drive me to the pharmacy. I forgot to buy something."

"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded and started the car again, taking Wu Min along the road to find a pharmacy.
