Chapter 83: A Little Bonus

Zhao Jianhui didn't know where they were going at night, but he knew that the place was a holiday villa near the seaside - oh, strictly speaking, it should be near the river.

Although it was night, he could still feel that the villa had beautiful scenery. There was a bay in front and a hill in the back. In the yard of the villa, the rows of wooden houses built according to the mountain terrain had their own characteristics, and the path in the middle was also tortuous and rugged. It felt like returning to nature. The mountain behind was covered with dense forests, which looked even more lush under the dim starlight.

The place where Fang Guozhuang took Zhao Jianhui was a separate courtyard in the villa. Walking along the tortuous path, near the root of the mountain, there was a small courtyard separated by wooden stakes, with only a two-story wooden building in it.

In the yard and under the eaves of the building, the lighting was all that kind of red Yuan lanterns, which were really antique. Before entering the room, people had a hazy feeling. From the gate of the courtyard to the wooden building, Fang Guozhuang and Director Zhang Mingyang of the Provincial Reform Commission, the three of them walked while introducing the characteristics of this place to Zhao Jianhui. It is said that game from all over the world can be eaten in this place.

The path passes through a relatively open forest grassland. There are stone tables and stone benches under the trees for people to rest. It is indeed a good enjoyment to sit under the crooked pine tree or put a pot of fragrant tea on the stone table.

When Zhao Jianhui, Fang Guozhuang and others walked to the wooden building, two middle-aged men and women in their thirties were already standing in front of the wooden building. The man was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, straight black pants, and the leather shoes on his feet had no wrinkles, as if he had just passed on new shoes for the banquet tonight. He leaned sideways to maintain a half-person position with the woman, and it seemed that he was deliberately highlighting the position of the woman.

The woman looked a bit like a famous movie star in China, with long hair gathered at the back, wearing a thin white suit skirt, a white silk shirt underneath, no makeup on her face, just a thin lipstick. Wearing all white is not a good match, it is easy to contrast the flaws of the skin color, but her skin is very white, smooth and delicate, and the white clothes make her look more noble and elegant, bright and shining.

Her smooth skin is crystal white and delicate. She is tall, with a pair of jade-smooth and round slender legs exposed from the well-cut suit skirt, giving people a soft beauty of well-proportioned bones and flesh. She is indeed a rare and stunning beauty.

Just looking at the woman, Zhao Jianhui nodded thoughtfully. This person is definitely Dongfang Wenying, the general manager of Dongfang Jianzong, but I didn’t expect that the general manager of Dongfang Jianzong would be a woman, and I didn’t expect that this woman would be so young.

Zhao Jianhui was sure that she was Dongfang Wenying. The most important point was that Zhao Jianhui saw the shadow of Dongfang Wenjing in her. Especially when this woman smiled, she looked three times more like Dongfang Wenjing.

Seeing Zhao Jianhui coming over accompanied by Fang Guozhuang, the woman smiled and took a few steps forward. Fang Guozhuang laughed and said, "Director Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Dongfang Wenying, a famous private entrepreneur in our province and vice chairman of our CPPCC. Mr. Dongfang, this is Zhao Jianhui, the youngest director-level director in the committee, and the leader of the inspection team that came to Nanyue to inspect our construction projects this time. You didn't make it back when Director Zhao went to the construction site in person in the afternoon, so I called you over in the evening to meet with Director Zhao. In future inspections, you must cooperate with Director Zhao's work."

Originally, Zhao Jianhui was still wondering why Fang Guodong was so clumsy. He was here to review the business of Mr. Dongfang Jian. How could you call her to the dinner table directly? But now after listening to Fang Guozhuang's words, he couldn't help but admire this guy's talent. It was obvious that what he thought of was this, but when he said it out loud, it became that he called this woman over on purpose and followed his own arrangements.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Dongfang Wenying's soft and boneless little hand. He felt her little finger scratching his palm lightly, intentionally or unintentionally. If he wasn't sensitive, he would hardly notice it.

Looking at the bright smile on her face, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but be stunned. Was this woman doing it intentionally or unintentionally? What did she mean by doing this?

Following behind him was Dongfang Jianzong's vice president. When Dongfang Wenying introduced him as Huang Yifeng, Zhao Jianhui smiled secretly and thought that fortunately it was not Huang Feng, otherwise he would really become a bumblebee.

For a banquet like this, no matter how the dishes are served, wine is indispensable. Especially tonight, Zhao Jianhui is still the protagonist of the banquet. What happened to this executive vice president today? So everyone pointed the finger at Zhao Jianhui.

Wild game from all over the world may not be real, but there are dragon-tiger fights, civet cats, water fish whips and other delicacies on the table.

After a round of toasts, everyone started eating and drinking. They couldn't drink too much and leave the food behind. Judging from Fang Guozhuang and Zhang Mingyang's intentions, they were not willing to drink one glass after another. This may be the difference between southerners and northerners. Not everything depends on wine.

Although Zhao Jianhui can drink a lot, in fact, the sentence he hates the most is "If you have deep feelings, you drink it in one gulp; if you have shallow feelings, you just lick it." And what is "Drinking quality is like character. If you can't drink at the table, you can't work at work." And so on. Work is work, being a person is being a person, and drinking is drinking. These three things are completely unrelated. Why should we discuss them at the table? Can people who can drink definitely work? Can the work of a unit be done by people who accompany the leader to drink every day? That's really strange! !

But things in the officialdom today are often so strange. No matter how much work you do, as long as you don't have a good relationship with the leader, even if you work yourself to death, you will not be promoted or have other good things.

Zhao Jianhui remembered that he had seen such a story, saying that the army of the King of Chu went to the north to fight. Because the southerners went to the north and were not used to the cold climate, many people's hands were cracked and they couldn't hold the swords and guns at all. Someone offered a medicine called "No Turtle Hand Medicine". After applying it, the soldiers' hands would no longer crack, and the soldiers could hold swords and guns, and the State of Chu won the battle. According to the merits, the King of Chu rewarded the person who offered the "No Turtle Hand Medicine" with five carriages.

That year, the King of Chu happened to have hemorrhoids, and he had pain every day and couldn't fall asleep. A close attendant licked the King of Chu's hemorrhoids every day, which made the King of Chu feel very comfortable, and the hemorrhoids were not so painful. The King of Chu was happy and rewarded the man with 500 carriages.

Although the "No Turtle Hand Medicine" was good, it only made the soldiers feel comfortable, and the King of Chu did not feel the same. Licking hemorrhoids made the King of Chu feel comfortable, and he knew that the person who licked him was good to him. So the person who offered the medicine and made the country win the battle got five carriages, while the person who licked the hemorrhoids and made the King of Chu feel comfortable got 500 carriages.

Can you say whether this is fair or unfair? It's just looking at the problem from one person's perspective.

For the sake of their wealth and future, subordinates generally will not miss the opportunity to show themselves in front of their leaders. In such occasions, what they have to do to win the favor of their leaders is, of course, to toast to their leaders. Although Zhao Jianhui is not the direct leader of these people, he is now in power, and a casual word may affect the income of some people. Therefore, even if southerners don’t want to drink as much as northerners, toasting is still essential.

First, Director Zhang of the Provincial Reform Commission and Zhao Jianhui drank two, and then the deputy mayor was released. The two people were very polite in their words, making people feel embarrassed if they didn’t want to drink.

The next person to toast was Dongfang Wenying. This woman seemed to be unable to drink. At first, she only wet her lips slightly when everyone drank three cups together, but later when she drank with Zhao Jianhui, she changed to drinking one cup at a time. After two glasses of wine, two red clouds had flown on her fair face, and her smiling face was peach blossoms, which made her look even more charming and moving.

The banquet lasted for about two hours. The five people were already tipsy and full. Zhao Jianhui said that they couldn't drink any more and it was time to leave.

Dongfang Wenying chuckled and said, "The banquet can be dismissed, but it's too early to go home. The real nightlife in Nanyue City hasn't started yet. Director Zhao rarely comes here. As the host, how can Wenying dare not let Director Zhao enjoy himself? Director Zhao, let's go upstairs..."

"Go upstairs..." Zhao Jianhui looked at Dongfang Wenying, then turned to look at Fang Guozhuang and Zhang Mingyang. The two of them also politely invited Zhao Jianhui to go upstairs.

Hehe, it seems that it's not what I imagined. Seeing that the two people looked normal, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but laugh at himself for being a little petty.

The small hall upstairs is not very big, but it is very delicately decorated. Everyone sat down on the sofa, and a beautiful girl wearing a white short-sleeved black skirt, mesh white stockings and high-heeled sandals served tea.

As everyone chatted over tea, Dongfang Wenying asked with a smile: "Director Zhao, you are a distinguished guest, and I don't know what you like. We have many entertainment activities here, such as singing and dancing. If you don't like these, you can also play mahjong or small cards. Don't worry, we are just having fun, not gambling."

It seems that there is still a problem.

Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, let's not compete in singing and dancing, those things are often played in Beijing. I am very happy to play small cards with Mr. Dongfang. There is a saying that big gambling ruins the family and small gambling makes people happy. It's better to have a little bit of prize money."
