"County Magistrate Pang, this is not a good idea, right? After all, this is my first time attending a standing committee meeting."
Pang Ming still gave Xie Wan face and agreed without thinking: "That's fine, then we'll start at three in the afternoon. There are still two hours at noon."
In the early 1980s, the working and resting time in Sichuan Province generally included a two and a half hour break at noon.
It is summer now, and the original working time was 2:30, but it was postponed to 3:00. Xie Wan thought it was okay and agreed.
Everyone at the table started drinking again.
Xie Wan began to feel a little restless. She looked at her watch frequently, but didn't want to leave the table first.
But drinking and eating also have their benefits. From these people's conversations, she has almost figured out their general situation and personalities.

My current mentality is probably not to seek achievement, but to avoid mistakes. If everything goes well for you, for me, and for everyone, I will be satisfied if I can get through these two years in peace and stability and then retire.
Maybe he had drunk too much, so Deputy County Chief Liu Jiang started joking and toasted Xie Wan: "Xiao Xie, come on, we are a family from now on, don't pretend in front of us, let's have a drink!"
Liu Jiang is almost fifty years old. In his eyes, Xie Wan is just like a junior. He never considered that Xie Wan is the executive deputy county magistrate and his position is slightly higher than his.
Xie Wan declined again.
Everyone started to make a noise: "Xiao Xie, this is where you are wrong. You are soldiers, how can you not be able to drink?"
Liu Jiang's face was already red from drinking, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "It's okay not to drink, Xiao Xie, how about you sing a song for everyone to cheer them up?"
Xie Wan's face immediately fell.
His tone suddenly became cold: "Deputy County Chief Liu wants me to sing for you? I think you are drunk. Come on, Deputy County Chief Liu, I will take you to sober you up."
