Gradually, Li Yixiang drank a little too much. His drinking capacity was completely incomparable to that of Chen Shaoping. His drinking capacity was only a pound of liquor.
However, Li Yixiang is an extremely self-disciplined person. After drinking for about eight taels, his handsome face was already red, his body was hot, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this time, Li Yixiang realized that if he drank any more, he would get drunk, so he decisively stopped drinking. Even if a glass of liquor was already filled in front of him, he could control himself and stop drinking if he said he didn't want to drink.
Chen Shaoping couldn't be as casual as Li Yixiang. He would often say he didn't want to drink, but he would already have a wine glass in his hand.
As long as Chen Shaoping doesn't pour it out and there is still wine in the bottle, the drinking game will never stop!
Even though Chen Shaoping had a huge hangover in Jiangli City the night before, after drinking a pound of white wine, not only did he not feel any discomfort, but on the contrary, he felt warm and indescribably happy.
People in Cangyang often say, "You should drink Jie (pronounced Jie here as Gai) wine after a hangover." Perhaps there is some truth to this.
Li Yixiang actually said he would stop drinking. Even if Chen Shaoping wanted to drink again, he couldn't continue.
Despite this, it took more than three hours to finish the meal. We started eating around six o'clock, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"Shaoping, are you okay with driving?" Li Yixiang's face was flushed with alcohol, but his expression was still calm, but his movements were a little exaggerated.
"Secretary Li, I have no problem at all!" Chen Shaoping said immediately.
Li Yixiang handed over the key to his Audi A6L and said, "Go back to the county government courtyard!"
"You also drank a pound of liquor, let me drive!" Qiu Shuqin said to Chen Shaoping while supporting Li Yixiang.
"Magistrate Qiu, I'm afraid you have no experience of drunk driving, so let me do it!" Chen Shaoping shook his head and said.
"Drunk driving is illegal, Shaoping, be careful in the future!" Li Yixiang criticized.
"Secretary Li, I won't do it again!" Chen Shaoping replied quickly. He had already felt that Li Yixiang was drunk.
Chen Shaoping and Qiu Shuqin helped Li Yixiang get into the car. Qiu Shuqin sat in the back seat to take care of Li Yixiang. Chen Shaoping started the car and slowly drove out.
Shanmei Garden has become quiet, and the lively wine shop has ended. However, County Public Security Bureau Director Li Songbo, Traffic Police Captain Luo Wenqiang, and Finance Bureau Director Zhang Junming have not left. They are still waiting here for County Party Secretary Li Yixiang.
Under the cover of night, a black Audi car slowly drove out of the No. 1 courtyard.
Li Songbo and others recognized it at a glance as the personal car of County Party Secretary Li Yixiang, and walked to the side of the road with smiles on their faces.
Chen Shaoping slowly stopped the car, opened the window, and lowered his voice and said: "Bureau Li, Bureau Luo, Bureau Zhang, Secretary Li has had a few more drinks and needs to rest!"
Li Songbo and others immediately nodded with respect.
"Director Chen, drive slower!" Li Songbo whispered.
Chen Shaoping nodded and whispered, "Then we'll leave first!"
The black Audi car slowly drove out of Shanmei Garden. The three chief bureau chiefs then got into the car and followed the black Audi A6L back to Cangyang County.
"Are Li Songbo and the others eating here too?" Li Yixiang asked. At this time, Li Yixiang was only seventy percent drunk.
"Li Songbo, Luo Wenqiang and Zhang Junming are all having a party here tonight!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"It seems that this Shanmei Garden has really become the private canteen of Cangyang's leading cadres!" Li Yixiang said with a smile.
"The sauerkraut and crucian carp soup here is truly outstanding. I have never had such a refreshing fish soup!" Qiu Shuqin praised.
"Magistrate Qiu, if you like to drink, I will ask them to send you one every day!" Chen Shaoping said while driving.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuqin immediately shook her head: "That's no good. If you drink it every day, you'll get tired of it in a few days!"
"There are three chefs inside who can cook hundreds of dishes without repeating them. We guarantee that County Magistrate Qiu will not eat the same dishes once in three months!" Chen Shaoping continued.
"No matter how many and complicated the dishes are, there are only one or two that a person can really like!" Qiu Shuqin said with profound meaning.
"County Magistrate Qiu is right!" Chen Shaoping also heard what it meant. After complimenting him, he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Chen Shaoping drove Li Yixiang back to the private courtyard behind the county government, which was specially provided for county leaders.
Li Yixiang got out of the car at the entrance of the small courtyard and ordered: "Shaoping, I have to go through the trouble of sending Magistrate Qiu back! Just drive my car!"
"Secretary Li, please rest assured, I will deliver County Magistrate Qiu safely!" After Chen Shaoping saw Li Yixiang into the small courtyard, he and Qiu Shuqin walked towards Li Yixiang's Audi car.
Before getting in the car, Chen Shaoping looked at the black Audi car and sighed: "Audi A6, exclusive to the boss, is so beautiful, and the interior is also first-class, especially the travel recorder that comes with you, both inside and outside the car. The situation can be photographed clearly, and even the sound can be recorded clearly and completely..."
Qiu Shuqin was stunned for a moment, and then she understood that Chen Shaoping was reminding her: There is a driving recorder in the car, so be careful what you say!
Qiu Shuqin figured this out and couldn't help but cursed secretly in her heart: "Chen Shaoping, Chen Shaoping, in less than two years, you are almost a man!"
This is Qiu Shuqin praising Chen Shaoping in disguise!
"Unexpectedly, Director Chen knows a lot about cars!" Qiu Shuqin sighed and sat in the back seat.
The car drove slowly. Due to the trip recorder, the two of them remained silent in a tacit understanding, but their eyes would look at each other in the rearview mirror from time to time.
Chen Shaoping saw the flames dancing in Qiu Shuqin's eyes... and there was a commotion in his heart.
"County Magistrate Qiu, we're here!" Chen Shaoping stopped the car smoothly.
Qiu Shuqin looked at Chen Shaoping with resentment on her face, and then said coldly: "Thank you, Director Chen!"
After seeing off Qiu Shuqin, Chen Shaoping skillfully drove the car back to the county government courtyard, parked the car in Li Yixiang's exclusive parking space, and then left the county government on foot.
As soon as Chen Shaoping walked out of the county government, Qiu Shuqin called: "I haven't eaten enough, come out and have something to eat with me!"
Chen Shaoping knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately warned himself in his heart: "Chen Shaoping, remember! This is Qiu Shuqin, a woman who has an extraordinary relationship with Li Yixiang!"
"County Magistrate Qiu, I'm really sorry. I've gone home and I'm not feeling very well!" Chen Shaoping said very politely.
"Chen Shaoping!" Qiu Shuqin yelled angrily on the phone, "You ungrateful bastard!"
