Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, was not wrong. Yu Guidong, deputy director of the Political Department, was indeed drinking alone at Xifeng Restaurant.
"Yes, my brother is an expert in predicting things. I can guess everything. He is indeed a person who has a good job of understanding people's psychology and can predict their movements." Yu Guidong, deputy director of the Political Department, said There is a touch of ridicule.
"Deputy Director Yu, please don't ridicule me, okay? Some of my words were inappropriate, so don't worry about it. I am here to formally apologize to you."
"So, to make up for my inappropriate behavior, me?"
"You what?"
Dong Jinshan said: "How about this? You ask for two bottles of hardcover Xifeng Daqu Bar from the counter of Xifeng Restaurant?"
“Then add a stir-fried beef with coriander, a stir-fried pig’s ear, a braised catfish with wine and a plate of fried peanuts.”
"You happily drink wine and eat food. This is my apology wine. This account will be kept on my head and I will settle it when I come back."
"Deputy Director Yu, is that okay?"
There was no Prohibition at that time, and regulations in this area were far less strict than they are now.
Yu Guidong, the deputy director of the Political Department, has always been fond of drinking. He usually drinks alone. Of course he is happy to be entertained by Dong Jinshan this time.
"My brother is very generous, but he was disrespectful and accepted it graciously. I just accepted it for nothing and made my brother spend money for no reason. I feel a little sorry."
Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, said: "If that's the case, why do we brothers have to say this to each other?"
"It's too much to say that you should accept something for nothing. I'm just trying to apologize. It's just a trivial matter, a little money, so why should I worry about it."
"After drinking this wine, Deputy Director Yu will blow away my inappropriate remarks today and stop worrying about them."
Yu Guidong, deputy director of the Political Department, smiled broadly on the phone, "Brother, why do you talk like this? When have I ever cared about your words? Why should I care about such a trivial matter?"
"Okay, then you should eat and drink enough. If I go to pay the bill tomorrow and I hear that you are not drunk and full, I will ask you to apologize and give me a banquet in return, because you look down on me, haha!"
"You can't partake in my banquet, haha!" Yu Guidong laughed on the phone.
"Then you have a good time. Remember, you have to pay for the phone bill because it was you who called."
Yu Guidong, deputy director of the Political Department, said: "Oh, I forgot. We talked for a long time. I should have a few yuan, right? I deserve my bad luck. I forgot that it was me who made the call."
"Haha, just pay for this money."
Having said that, Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, put down the phone. He paid for the call to the other party's BB machine. As soon as he left the public phone booth, he saw Ma Xiaole coming towards him.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm afraid that the director will suffer. I care about the director. I was just going to come to this public phone booth to remind you."
"Remind me of what?"
"Director, you made such a long phone call. It took a lot of time and was expensive."
"If you continue to call me, I'm worried that you don't have enough money to pay the phone bill, and the aunt who sells newspapers and magazines and keeps the phone will be reluctant to let you go."
"Going into this booth to make a phone call is easy to come in, but hard to leave."
Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, said jokingly: "You are still afraid that the aunt on the phone will detain me as a guest. Don't worry, I won't get a free lunch."
"Someone paid this amount of money for me."
"Isn't this a free lunch?"
"No, this is a call from someone else. What does it have to do with me?"
"The director is calling a pager. Let others answer the call? It really saves money."
"I don't page him, do I know where he is?"
"But in fact, the director saved money. With the money saved, can the director treat us? We are very hungry."
"Are you here to blackmail the director? You don't know how to ask the leader, but you still have to pay for it?" Dong Jinshan, director of the inspection office, was in a good mood and joked.
Ma Xiaole, director of the Supervision Office, said: "I would like to invite the leader to make a good impression, but there is nothing I can do. People are poor and have short ambitions. My salary is low and my pocket is empty. How can I invite you? I have no choice."
"Nothing but what?"
"We have to wait until the salary increases and the pockets are bulging in the future, and then it is not too late to hire a leader."
"You, pull me down. My ability to come to the inspection room has not improved, but my ability to fight against the autumn wind has." Dong Jinshan, director of the inspection office, replied.
The two of them walked to the jeep as they talked.
Zhou Yunzhen saw the two of them laughing and joking and came to join in the fun.
"Are you two discussing who will treat us?"
"Yes." Director Dong Jinshan and clerk Ma Xiaole were startled, and then they answered in unison.
"Since you are humble to each other and are at a stalemate for a while, I will come up with an idea to ensure that your problem will be solved."
"What's the idea?" Dong Jinshan was confused.
Zhou Yunzhen looked confused: "There are three of us, and you two are willing to treat us. It's hard to decide who should treat us at the moment, and I can't arbitrate."
"Let's do this, none of you will suffer."
"That way?" Dong Jinshan and Ma Xiaole said in their hearts, isn't this nonsense? Who among us wants to compete for treats? On the contrary, we are planning who to treat.
Zhou Yunzhen, you are telling lies with your eyes open and pretending to be confused!
Zhou Yunzhen pretended not to understand all this, and continued following his own train of thought, "How about this, if you add two to one and make five, half and half, wouldn't it be a complete solution to the problem if you jointly fund the project?"
"Does this avoid the embarrassing situation where one person spends all his money but doesn't bring enough money? Does it also avoid the situation where the hotel owner looks down on him?"
Dong Jinshan and Ma Xiaole couldn't laugh or cry. Is this guy setting the game? He has a huge appetite and will eat both of us.
"I'll treat you today. Come on, let's find a restaurant nearby for dinner." Dong Jinshan said cheerfully.
"Okay, director, I'm treating you to a guest, but I'm not respectful." Ma Xiaole suddenly smiled.
The three of them plus the driver, a total of four people, arrived at a small restaurant called "Where are the guests coming from" not far from the park.
The name of this restaurant is a bit strange.
Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, found a quiet seat, and the four of them sat down one after another.
"Here are some better dishes, stir-fry them and serve them quickly. We have to hurry after eating." Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, said to the boss who came up to greet him.
"Four of you, I can't even speak of good food. If I say good food, you may not necessarily think it is good food." The boss spread his hands.
"Well, let me give you the menu, right? It's best for you to choose for yourself, okay?"
Dong Jinshan said to the boss: "Wouldn't you have told me that the restaurant has a menu? We can just follow the order."
The boss said: "The problem is that you didn't ask me for the menu, so I can't say it rashly."
"Okay, okay, stop chirping and go get the menu."
In an instant, the boss brought the menu, and Dong Jinshan checked a few dishes without consulting Zhou Yunzhen and Ma Xiaole, and said, "Hurry up."
"Okay." The boss turned around and went to work.
After a while, several hot dishes were served on the table one after another, including home-style casserole tofu, green peppers in oil, stir-fried pork, braised small yellow croaker, scrambled eggs with chopped green onion, and a plate of fried loach, which filled the table.
"There is still one thing missing." Zhou Yunzhen said with a smile.
"What?" Dong Jinshan wondered, what else could such a rich dish lack?
