Next, Chen Donglin made a toast.
He was a good drinker by nature, and there is still a famous saying said to be by Chen Donglin circulating in the industry:
"Is the relationship strong? Iron! Then you are not afraid of stomach bleeding! Are the feelings deep? Deep! Then you are not afraid of intravenous injections!"
Li Ji had no way of knowing whether Chen Donglin said this. However, Li Ji saw Chen Donglin drinking with his own eyes.
Once, Li Ji came to the Chengdong branch for an inspection, but Chen Donglin, who was the head of the branch's credit business at the time, was not there.
After asking, I found out that Chen Donglin had invited a client to dinner the night before, was too drunk, and was receiving an infusion in the hospital.
Li Ji didn't care at the time.
Unexpectedly, during lunch, when he arrived at the hotel and opened the door, Chen Donglin was already sitting there with an alcohol cotton ball taped to his wrist.
It turned out that he heard that the city manager was coming to check, and he pulled out the needle and came over before the infusion was finished. He said that he must not lose his dignity as a landlord and must have a good drink with the city leaders.
That day, Chen Donglin drank more than a pound by himself.
Before the dishes were all served, he collapsed there, his eyes blurred and he couldn't speak clearly.
I had no choice but to ask someone to hold him up, take a taxi, and take him back to the hospital.
What a good comrade, there are no difficulties, even if they create difficulties, you have to drink. What's more, it's an occasion like tonight.
Chen Donglin is the second-in-command of the branch, a deputy, and a man. In addition, Vice President Tao Ping, the head of the bank, is also here, so he has to perform well.
"Just now, President Wang brought six glasses," Chen Donglin stood up and raised his glass high, "Now, let me, the 'second-in-command of a thousand years,' respect everyone!"
The room suddenly burst into laughter.
Chen Donglin has been in the bank for many years and served as the vice president of a branch very early on. But then I wandered around, and in my fifties, I was still the vice president of the branch.
Some people in the industry joked about him, saying that Chen Donglin was the "number two in a thousand years" and never got the chance to be with the top leader.
Li Ji knew that with Chen Donglin's qualifications, he should have been the branch president. He has never been promoted, probably because he likes drinking too much.
"I won't let you drink more, just ten cups!" Chen Donglin's face straightened, "It's perfect, I'm completely satisfied!"
After saying that, there was a sizzle, and the glass of wine was instantly empty.
"People say that one, two, and two ounces is enough to rinse your mouth, three or two or four ounces is not considered wine, five or two or six ounces is walking on the wall, and seven or two or eight ounces is still roaring." Tao Ping smiled, "I think Donglin is. ....."
"Thank you for the compliment, leader." Chen Donglin sat down and had another drink. "How can I not drink when I'm traveling around the world? I did it!"
In the blink of an eye, the second glass of wine was downed.
Indeed, people in Fengcheng like to drink.
In large and small occasions, if there is no wine, the atmosphere will be missing, and plain water will be just as bland and tasteless.
It feels like there is no salt in the food of Shandong people, there is no spicy food in Sichuan, and there is no vinegar in Shanxi people. It feels like the body is covered with soap when taking a bath, but suddenly there is no water. It feels like taking off your pants and struggling for a long time, but it just doesn’t work. Let the cum come in.
At that time, there was still such a saying circulating within Fengcheng Construction Bank.
There are two initial letters in Chinese Pinyin on the emblem of China Construction Bank, namely J and H, which are originally the first letters of the Chinese Pinyin "jian hang" of the word "CCB".
The old people in the industry reversed the two letters and called it "HJ", which means "hejiu", that is, "drinking".
So, some people said that when you arrive at CCB in Fengcheng, you must first learn to drink.
Drinking is compulsory.
If you have difficulties, of course you have to drink; if there are no difficulties, you have to drink if you create difficulties.
I don’t know if it’s because of this allusion or some other reason, but when Li Ji arrived at CCB, he found that his colleagues around him were very good drinkers and even more daring to drink.
You can do anything else, but you can't do it when you drink; you can give up on other things, but you can't give up on drinking.
Whether he is a hero or a bear, we will see you at the wine table.
Drinks flowed freely, and the hero showed his true colors.
Naturally, it was even more lively tonight. After a few laps, not a drop of the two bottles of Moutai was left. Everyone was more or less drunk.
Fang Yuan then asked the waiter to bring the local "Fengcheng Special Song", and there was another commotion. Not long after, I finished three more bottles of Tequ.
At this time, many people were already flushed and smelling of alcohol.
Some people started to smoke, and some people bit their ears and whispered.
The door opened and the waiter brought in a few more dishes.
"Girl, tell me, what kind of dish is this?"
Fang Yuan pointed to the plate of tender green vegetables and asked the waiter who delivered them.
"Sorry, I, I don't know either..."
The waitress looked at it, a little embarrassed, squirming, and blushing.
The woman's behavior was still a bit unfamiliar, probably because she had just arrived at work.
When she walked out and closed the door, Li Ji suddenly remembered a joke he made when he went to the provincial capital to entertain his classmates.
So, he coughed twice and said with a smile: "Seeing this waiter, I remembered something..."
Everyone looked at Li Ji together.
Tao Ping smoked a cigarette with a faint smile on his lips.
"That time I was on a business trip to the provincial capital, and several classmates invited me to a hotel for dinner. One classmate was in charge of ordering food, and I and the others sat and chatted. After a while, he came over and asked us: 'The food has been ordered, do you want to add more? of?'......"
Everyone knows that in this case, you usually ask the waiter to recite the name of the dish you ordered.
"...So, one of my buddies said: 'Waiter, please report.' The waiter glanced at him and said nothing.
'Waiter, please tell me! 'My buddy is a little anxious. But the waiter's face turned red and he still didn't move.
'What's going on? I want you to report that you didn’t hear me? 'My buddy is really anxious.
Another classmate quickly smoothed things over: 'Waiter, just report everyone one by one. '
The waiter was shy. After a long time, he felt embarrassed and asked: "Then, the one holding the woman, not the man, is that okay?" '
..."
Hahaha!
Everyone laughed in unison.
"I didn't expect that President Li would be so humorous..."
Wang Shulan held her stomach and almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
"Xiao Li, it's interesting, it's interesting..."
Tao Ping shook his head and blew out several smoke rings.
"Stop just talking, drink! Drink!"
Chen Donglin's face was red, he held a cigarette between his fingers and picked up the wine glass again.
Li Ji's drinking capacity was okay at first, but he drank all the time and didn't eat much. In addition, he drank more urgently, so his colleagues in the branch took turns to toast, and he was already half-way drunk at this time.
He filled a glass of wine and held it up with both hands, shaking it slightly.
Li Ji stood up and said respectfully to Tao Ping: "President Tao, I'd like to toast you!"
Tao Ping touched the wine glass with his fingers and looked at Li Ji with a smile.
"I'm young and don't know the depth of my words," Li Ji said sincerely, "President Tao, you don't remember the faults of villains, don't take it to your heart..."
Tao Ping held the back of the chair with one hand and kept nodding, the smile in his eyes getting stronger.
"Consider this glass of wine as my apology..." Li Ji raised his hand, "President Tao, I did it, you can do whatever you want!"
"Hey, wait!"
As soon as Li Ji's lips touched the wine glass, he was stopped by Wang Shulan.
"President Wang?"
Li Ji was stunned.
"How can you use a small cup when drinking with an old leader? There is no sincerity!"
Wang Shulan smiled like a peach blossom and reached out to hold Tao Ping's hand that was about to raise the glass.
"Yes, yes," Chen Donglin stood up and waved to the waiter, "Come on, come on! Give Mr. Li a bigger cup!"
The waiter quickly brought a transparent goblet.
When Li Ji saw it, he couldn't help but secretly complained: This big cup is only three or two or three.
But at this time, it was hard to get off the tiger, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet. Otherwise, making Tao Ping unhappy would be more of a loss than a gain.
Li Ji gritted his teeth and nodded to the waiter: "Here, fill it up!"
"Okay! Okay! President Li is brave!"
Several people clapped their hands and shouted loudly.
"Come on! Give me a big cup too!"
Tao Ping's eyes moved, he took a few puffs and put the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"President Tao is mighty!"
I don't know who shouted.
Bang bang bang, there was a burst of applause.
Tao Ping stretched out his hand to comb his hair, straightened his body, and pointed at the goblet: "Little girl, fill it up for me too!"
The two goblets were filled with slightly yellow white wine.
Li Ji picked it up, his hands trembling slightly, and he felt something rising in his stomach.
"Mr. Li, if you want your guests to drink well, you have to drink it yourself first..."
Chen Donglin joked while blowing smoke.
Li Jifa felt his scalp numb.
He grinned, bared his teeth, and took a deep breath: "Okay! President Tao, I'll do it first!"
After saying that, he held the goblet with both hands, raised his head, closed his eyes, and drank the glass of wine like water.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Li Ji felt that his internal organs were instantly on fire, and his mouth was even more burning, as if he had been slashed by several knives.
He panted and sat down, grabbed the tea cup, drank the tea and tea leaves in one go.
"The feelings are deep and I feel stuffy." Chen Donglin's eyebrows were beaming, "The leader should be satisfied now!"
Tao Ping nodded, his face looked like the sky had dispersed dark clouds, and the sun was shining brightly. He held the goblet and drank several large sips.
"The leader still has wine," Chen Donglin looked at Tao Ping's wine glass, "Here! Give it to Li Xingchang again!"
Li Ji smelled of alcohol and waved his hands repeatedly: "President Chen, drink, I can't drink anymore..."
"Hey - good things come in pairs, how can we just have one drink!" Chen Donglin smiled and shook his head, "Besides, the leader hasn't finished his drink yet..."
As he spoke, Chen Donglin lit up a cigarette and looked at Wang Shulan: "President Wang, do you think what I said is correct?"
"That's right! That's right! Everyone, feel free to drink." Wang Shulan was also intoxicated by the wine, and the top button of her dress was unbuttoned, revealing a section of her crimson bra. "I've already asked Director Fang to say hello to the hotel. Now, if you can’t go back, just stay here tonight..."
"President Wang is wise!"
I don't know who shouted again.
Li Ji had no choice but to endure waves of nausea, picked up the wine glass and drank it like poison.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy, the world was spinning, and my feet felt like stepping on a ball of cotton; the fire in my belly was as if the river was turning upside down.
Li Ji tilted his head and lay down on the table.
After a long while, Li Jicai reluctantly raised his head.
Eyes blurred.
The noise in my ears was filled with voices.
The choking smell of smoke made him cough several times.
Li Ji leaned his body against the corner of the table, feeling a little more comfortable. Feeling disgusted in his chest, he quickly put his head under the table.
Under the dim light, several legs dangled in front of my eyes.
Suddenly, Li Ji's eyes widened and his whole body tensed up.
