industrial overlord

Chapter 267 Booze
Gu Enyuan took Lin Zhenhua and his party to a small restaurant on the street, where they sat down separately.The owner of the restaurant should have done this kind of reception countless times. After coming over and biting Gu Enyuan's ear a few times, he started to get busy.

Both Jiang Manqing and Sun Xiaodong came here with some embarrassment, and they said repeatedly as soon as they sat down: "Secretary Gu, let's just have a light meal, it doesn't need to be too much trouble."

However, Lin Zhenhua said fiercely: "Manager Jiang, Xiaodong, you are wrong. Secretary Gu said that he would entertain us, so we should do as the guests please. I think our Hanshan Township is not economically developed, but the leaders The enthusiasm is unmatched.”

Gu Enyuan began to feel that Lin Zhenhua had something to say, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only smile and gossip.

Township cadres can basically be regarded as local tyrants in the village, especially cadres like Gu Enyuan, who are supported by the secretary and the township head, can be described as the local emperor.But the power of the emperor is limited to the village. In front of the cadres from above, he is just a small sesame official.

Although Hanhua Heavy Industry is an enterprise, the corresponding administrative level also has the deputy department level.Lin Zhenhua, as the vice president of the Standing Committee, was at the same level as the director, far surpassing Gu Enyuan, so he posed in front of Gu Enyuan, playing tricks, and Gu Enyuan could only listen submissively.

Of course, Lin Zhenhua is not a person who can show off and act arrogantly. In fact, he never puts on airs, let alone in front of a veteran cadre in his fifties like Gu Enyuan.But this time, he was really annoyed. What Yan Renjun told him made his opinion of Gu Enyuan extremely bad.

"By the way, Secretary Gu, why don't the other township leaders come and sit down together?" Jiang Manqing asked Gu Enyuan.

Gu Enyuan sighed: "Oh, this is the rule of our township. When entertaining the leaders from above, only one township cadre can accompany them."

"Why is that?" Sun Xiaodong asked curiously.

Gu Enyuan smiled wryly, without explaining, just picked up a small aluminum pot just sent by the owner of the restaurant, poured wine into the bowls in front of everyone, and said enthusiastically while pouring: "Leaders have worked hard, come and taste our wine. water and wine."

The boss began to serve the dishes on the table. As soon as the dishes were served, Lin Zhenhua and others began to understand the rules Gu Enyuan said.The dishes were served according to Lin Zhenhua's request. There was a bowl of braised chicken, a bowl of braised pork, a plate of fish and a plate of salted duck, which happened to be a combination of chicken, duck and fish.But the amount of food is really not enough, there are five big men at this table including the driver Wang Qinhu, the food is just barely enough.If there are a few more cadres in the village, I am afraid that there will be a dilemma of not having enough food.

Still poor, Lin Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart.

"Come on, leaders, let me offer you a bowl first." Gu Enyuan picked up the wine bowl in front of him and began to persuade him to drink, "Our wine is very sweet in the mouth, but it has a lot of stamina. We call it three bowls of wine. Gang, the one that Wu Song drank. Ordinary people will definitely get drunk after drinking three bowls. Let's try it."

Both Jiang Manqing and Sun Xiaodong picked up their bowls, touched Gu Enyuan, and took a big sip.Although Lin Zhenhua felt all kinds of grievances towards Gu Enyuan in his heart, he didn't know how to express his anger.He felt dissatisfied with those migrant workers, but he couldn't change them.Gu Enyuan has always been very humble in front of him, even if he wants to make trouble out of thin air.Seeing Gu Enyuan pointing to him with a wine bowl, he could only raise the bowl and take a sip.

As soon as the wine was drunk, everyone began to chat.Lin Zhenhua didn't have much emotion, he just sipped the wine slowly without saying a word.Jiang Manqing is a person with social experience, and he chatted with Gu Enyuan very happily, from the economy of the village to the situation of the country, and to the social atmosphere and so on.When it came to some cadres' demands, corruption, and other things, Gu Enyuan also looked angrily on his face, which made Lin Zhenhua sneer secretly in his heart.

"Manager Lin, I heard from you yesterday that your recruitment quota can be moved to other places, isn't that true?" Gu Enyuan asked Lin Zhenhua in this way seemingly unintentionally when the wine was in full swing.

Of course Lin Zhenhua knew that Gu Enyuan would not be aimless, maybe that was why he invited them to this meal.He didn't bother to point it out, just nodded and said: "That's right, we have some power over how to allocate quotas."

"Manager Lin, look at the situation in our village, can you give us a few more places?" Gu Enyuan said in a begging tone.

"What reason?" Lin Zhenhua said calmly.

Gu Enyuan said: "Manager Lin, you have also seen that the economy in our place is too backward, and the life of farmers is really hard. Can you take care of us here?"

"Give you a few more places, won't your village benefit more?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Gu Enyuan showed some embarrassment on his face: "Manager Lin is joking, our village is mainly for the sake of everyone. If these young people can go to work with you, the wages they earn can subsidize the family. You see ..."

"How is the economy in the township mainly depends on the cadres?" Lin Zhenhua said with a sting in his words, "If the cadres in the township are dedicated to doing things for the farmers, there will always be a way to get rid of poverty and become rich. If they only think about making money for themselves, then no one can help you. "

Jiang Manqing heard the smell of gunpowder in Lin Zhenhua's words, and quickly reached out and pulled the corner of Lin Zhenhua's clothes, signaling him not to say more.Gu Enyuan also felt something strange, but he still bit the bullet and said: "Manager Lin is right to criticize. The leaders in our township, uh, mainly me, have limited ability and can't do well. You are a big company, can you look at me? This old face, give us a few more slots?"

"Manager Lin, I think..." Sun Xiaodong also turned to look at Lin Zhenhua, wanting to plead with Lin Zhenhua.Gu Enyuan is a township cadre in his fifties, but his appearance is at least ten years older than his actual age.Such an old man spoke soft words in front of him, and Sun Xiaodong really couldn't stand it.

Lin Zhenhua sneered and said, "Secretary Gu, it's not impossible for us to recruit a few more people from you. However, we can't recruit just based on your words, right? If we promise to recruit a few more people, what do you have to do with it?" What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Gu Enyuan became excited. He stood up and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Manager Lin, tell me, what conditions are there, as long as we can do it, I can promise you."

Lin Zhenhua originally wanted to throw out a sentence: You should refund the management fees you collected from the migrant workers.But he is not a fool after all, he thought, Gu Enyuan hoped that he would take a few more people away, it is naturally because everyone can create these management fees for him.He asked Gu Enyuan to refund the management fee. Isn't this seeking skin from a tiger?If everyone quarreled over this matter, it would be boring. These migrant workers' families are under the management of the township head, and it would be futile to try to fight for their rights.

Alas, this kind of thing is beyond my control.Thinking of this, Lin Zhenhua pointed to the wine bowl in Gu Enyuan's hand, and said, "Secretary Gu, I heard you chatting with Manager Jiang just now, saying that you were good at drinking when you were young. Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, when I was young, I was fine drinking six or seven bowls of this kind of water and wine at a time."

"Okay then, let's gamble with wine. You drink a bowl, and I'll add another spot, how about it?"

"Xiao Lin!" Jiang Manqing couldn't listen anymore.Jiang Manqing knew this kind of wine. It is good to drink one or two bowls of wine, but if you really want to drink five or six bowls, you must be drunk.For Lin Zhenhua to lead Gu Enyuan's army like this, it was too bullying.Jiang Manqing is a kind person, how could he watch Lin Zhenhua do this.

"Manager Lin, are you serious?" Gu Enyuan was serious. He looked at Lin Zhenhua with a bowl in his hand, waiting for him to express his opinion.

When Lin Zhenhua said this, it was only on impulse, wanting to disgust Gu Enyuan.But when Gu Enyuan asked such a rhetorical question, Lin Zhenhua was a little bit stuck.Although he is a man of two lifetimes, he is only a 24-year-old young man now, and he must have some youthful and frivolous problems. How can he bear Gu Enyuan's challenge like this.

"Secretary Gu, I just want to see if you really care about these peasant children. We don't need to count bowl by bowl. There are still three or four bowls in this aluminum pot. If you can finish it in one go, I will add 10 places to your township."

"Xiao Lin! How can you talk like that?" Jiang Manqing complained to Lin Zhenhua, then turned his head and said to Gu Enyuan: "Secretary Gu, don't worry, Xiao Lin is a little drunk, he was joking."

Before Jiang Manqing finished speaking, Gu Enyuan had already picked up the aluminum pot, and started drinking from the spout without saying a word.

Sun Xiaodong was sitting next to Gu Enyuan. Seeing this, he hurried forward to dissuade him.Gu Enyuan freed up a hand to block Sun Xiaodong, just pouring water and wine into his belly.Although Gu Enyuan was old, he looked like he was used to farm work, and he had a lot of strength in his hands. Sun Xiaodong really couldn't stop him for a while.

"Secretary Gu! Secretary Gu!" Hearing the sound, the restaurant owner rushed over from the back kitchen and reached out to snatch the jug.But it was too late, Gu Enyuan had already drank the remaining half jug of wine, he put the jug on the table, looked at Lin Zhenhua with blood red eyes and said: "Manager Lin, you mean what you say, 10! 10 indivual!"

Before he finished speaking, his body shook and he fell backwards.The restaurant owner supported him, and shouted at Lin Zhenhua and his party at the top of his lungs: "What are you doing! Secretary Gu has stomach bleeding and high blood pressure, drinking like this will kill you!"

"Ah!" Lin Zhenhua was completely dumbfounded. His original intention was to punish the wicked village head who exploited the migrant workers.

"Cough! Xiao Lin, what are you doing!" Jiang Manqing glared at Lin Zhenhua angrily, and then shouted at Wang Qinhu: "Xiao Wang, drive quickly and take Secretary Gu to the hospital!"
