Chapter 670
At noon that day, at the welcome banquet held by the Town Party Committee and Town Government for Su Xinghui, after Su Xinghui toasted Bi Qingshui and Qi Jian, he encountered a bombardment from several local town leaders. They took turns to toast Su Xinghui, saying that this was the rule of Pengjiawan. Coming here, you must first drink three landing wines with everyone.
Such a scene made Bi Qingshui frown. Wasn't this giving Su Xinghui a slap in the face? He just wanted to use his status as the Organization Minister to help Su Xinghui out of the siege, but Su Xinghui had already stood up, picked up the wine glass, and accepted the toasts of others.
Pengjiawanzhen has a winery, and the wine style here is very prosperous. Therefore, the wine glasses here are much larger than those in several townships west of the county seat. One glass is at least five or six qian. If everyone drinks three glasses, this is really not a small amount. There are seven or eight local leaders present.
Su Xinghui first drank three glasses with the third-in-command of the Town Party Committee, Party-Masses Deputy Secretary Peng Taiping. For this Secretary Peng, Su Xinghui observed a bit. He was over fifty years old, and his face was always with a smile, a look of being harmless to others. However, Su Xinghui knew that Peng Taiping had a nickname of "Smiling Tiger."
Su Xinghui smiled at Peng Taiping and said: "Secretary Peng, come, I toast you three glasses. I heard that you are of high virtue and great prestige in Pengjiawan. In the future, if I do anything wrong, I hope you will give me more guidance!"
Peng Taiping stood up and said: "It's okay, young people inevitably have times when they make mistakes. We old comrades will help you keep the gate."
Peng Taiping's words of relying on his age to sell his age made Bi Qingshui feel uncomfortable. He was afraid that Su Xinghui was young and vigorous and would turn his face on the spot. However, what surprised him was that Su Xinghui didn't get angry at all. He drank three glasses in a row, and Peng Taiping also drank three glasses.
Next, Su Xinghui drank three glasses with Executive Deputy Town Head Yang Huakai. Yang Huakai was a person from the Yang family, the second largest surname in the local area. Yang Huakai was a middle-aged man in his forties with a gloomy face. Toward Yang Huakai, his attitude was equally humble, completely different from when he spoke at his inauguration speech.
Su Xinghui drank three glasses with Discipline Inspection Secretary Chen Xianyi third. The Chen surname was the third largest surname in the local area. Chen Xianyi was in his thirties, and his face was the kind of seriousness unique to discipline inspection cadres. Su Xinghui was equally smiling and drank these three glasses with him.
After drinking with three people, Bi Qingshui couldn't help but speak: "Comrade Xinghui, why don't we just leave it at that? Don't drink too fiercely."
Bi Qingshui personally sent Su Xinghui to take office today. If Su Xinghui made a fool of himself by drinking too much, he would also lose face, and Su Xinghui's prestige would also be lost. How could he carry out work in the future? Therefore, Bi Qingshui wanted to stop it.
Su Xinghui was noncommittal. Bi Qingshui spoke, so he naturally had to listen. Qi Jian also had no opinion. Qi Jian said: "Why don't we just leave it at that? Let's be casual next."
Unexpectedly, Peng Taiping opened his mouth with a smile: "There are still several comrades who haven't drunk yet. Township Head Su only drinks with us and not with them. Then they think Township Head Su looks down on people."
Bi Qingshui was furious. You damn Peng Taiping, you are relying on your age to sell your age too much, aren't you? Don't you rely on your Peng family having a deputy department-level official in the province? Do you think I really can't provoke you?
Bi Qingshui coughed, just about to speak, but Su Xinghui, who was sitting beside him, grabbed his hand and used a little force, stopping him from speaking, and then stood up and said: "Comrade Taiping is right. You gave me good advice. Then let's continue drinking."
Bi Qingshui almost laughed out loud when he heard Su Xinghui's words. Su Xinghui was really powerful. Just this sentence was enough to make Peng Taiping half-dead with anger.
Su Xinghui is now the acting Town Head of Pengjiawanzhen, ranking one place higher than Peng Taiping in the Town Party Committee members, which can be called Peng Taiping's superior. As a superior, he can completely call him "Comrade Taiping" and can also welcome his subordinate to "give him advice."
The problem is, Su Xinghui is a young man in his twenties, while Peng Taiping is over fifty years old, older than Su Xinghui's father. Su Xinghui saying this is a bit inappropriate, as if he is talking about his subordinate and junior.
However, can this be blamed on Su Xinghui? You, Peng Taiping, rely on your age to sell your age. Su Xinghui respected you and called you Secretary Peng when he drank with you, and his words were polite. You still don't know how to advance or retreat and have to provoke him. If he doesn't counterattack, where is the prestige of the acting Town Head?
Sure enough, when Peng Taiping heard Su Xinghui's words, his face was as black as charcoal and he couldn't smile anymore. Although he was a smiling tiger, claiming that he could smile in any situation, that was based on the premise that others respected him. Now hearing Su Xinghui lose his face in public, how could he still smile?
He couldn't smile, but someone could. Executive Deputy Town Head Yang Huakai laughed loudly. Although they were consistent in giving Su Xinghui a slap in the face, Yang Huakai still had many contradictions with Peng Taiping personally. Now seeing Peng Taiping make a fool of himself, he was still very happy.
The expressions of the others were also different. Some were as calm as water, and some were holding back their laughter. Su Xinghui watched coldly and recorded the reactions of several people one by one.
Su Xinghui was naturally not a naive young person who offended people indiscriminately. He angered Peng Taiping, which also had his intentions. This could be considered throwing a stone to ask the way. At least he could see some things that he couldn't see usually.
Peng Taiping was so angry that his chest rose and fell. However, he still held back and didn't explode. Firstly, Bi Qingshui was still at the table, so he didn't dare to offend Bi Qingshui too much. Secondly, he still wanted to see Su Xinghui make a fool of himself after drinking too much wine, so that he could vent his anger.
Su Xinghui drank with the remaining people one by one. This time, he had more than a jin of wine in his stomach. However, what made Peng Taiping puzzled was that Su Xinghui didn't even blush, as if what he just drank was just boiled water.
Peng Taiping couldn't help but take the bottle that Su Xinghui just poured wine from and poured himself a glass, drinking it in one gulp. He drank too urgently and choked, coughing constantly. Damn, this is wine. How could he have no reaction after drinking it?
Although Su Xinghui had no reaction, Bi Qingshui was still a bit worried. He hurriedly said to Su Xinghui: "Comrade Xinghui, eat some food."
Su Xinghui nodded, ate a bite of food, and then poured himself another glass of wine: "Comrade Taiping, it seems that you have a big addiction to wine. You pour wine for yourself. Then I will toast you three more glasses. You won't give me no face, right?"
Peng Taiping was a bit unconvinced. You have drunk so much, although I am a bit older, am I afraid of you? Drink then.
He didn't say a word and drank three glasses with Su Xinghui in a row.
After drinking these three glasses, Peng Taiping also had a bit of wine surge. After all, he was over fifty years old. Although he didn't drink much today, he had half a jin in his stomach.
He just picked up his chopsticks and wanted to eat a bite of food, but Bi Qingshui smiled and picked up his wine glass: "Old Peng, come, I also toast you three glasses. You are a local and the oldest in the Town Party Committee team. You have to keep the gate!"
No matter how much Peng Taiping relied on his age to sell his age, he didn't dare not drink the wine toasted by the County Party Committee Organization Minister. If he didn't drink, wouldn't that confirm what he said about looking down on people?
After drinking these three glasses, Peng Taiping hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a bite of food, pressing down the surging wine.
Before he could completely press down the wine, Qi Jian picked up his wine glass again and said with a smile: "Comrade Taiping, come, you are the old big brother in the team. I also got a lot of help from you in Pengjiawan. I come to toast you three glasses."
Peng Taiping exerted his energy, shook his head, and tried to make himself more sober. Qi Jian was the top leader, so he couldn't not drink these three glasses either. He reluctantly drank these three glasses again. At this time, he saw people swaying.
He just put down his glass, and Yang Huakai filled it up with a smile, then picked up his wine glass and said: "Secretary Peng, everyone respects you so much. If I don't toast you, that would be too disrespectful to you. Come, I also toast you three glasses."
At this time, Peng Taiping had reached the state of saying he wasn't drunk even when he was drunk. He didn't say a word, picked up his wine glass, touched it with Yang Huakai, and then tilted his neck and drank this glass of wine. However, this glass of wine just went into his stomach, and he suddenly turned around and rushed to the bathroom. Halfway there, he vomited all over the floor.
Several people rushed over, supported Peng Taiping, and patted his back. With such a mess on the floor, this meal naturally couldn't be eaten anymore.
Bi Qingshui laughed, let Qi Jian, Su Xinghui, and others take care of the old comrade. Qi Jian ordered the staff to send Peng Taiping back, and then he and Su Xinghui and others sent Bi Qingshui to the car.
Before leaving, Bi Qingshui held Su Xinghui's hand and said: "Comrade Xinghui, work hard!"
Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Mm, Minister Bi, I will definitely work hard!"
Bi Qingshui's car drove away, and Qi Jian and Su Xinghui looked at each other and laughed together.
Qi Jian said: "Comrade Xinghui, go to my room and sit for a while?"
Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Okay." ===== CHAPTER 672 =====
