Wu Shengli pointed at Ye Zhiqiu, but judging by the smile on his face, he was definitely not angry.
Ye Zhiqiu also knew that it was impossible for him to be angry. It was just a joke to get closer to him, so he just went along with it and became a shameless subordinate.
Wu Shengli took out a pack of unfiltered Zhonghua cigarettes and threw it to Ye Zhiqiu. He scolded him with a smile, "You got a bargain, you bastard. We're going to ask someone for a favor, so you better bring a pack of good cigarettes."
Ye Zhiqiu put the cigarettes into his bag and said with a grin, "Leader, one pack is a little too little. You need to pack a filter! I won't let you go to the battlefield at noon today. I'll just walk around and knock them all down!"
"Do you think cigarette tickets are so easy to get? I only get five Class A cigarette tickets a month. If it weren't for this towel issue, I wouldn't even open this pack of cigarettes with a mouthpiece! I figured since I'd opened it, I might as well try it first..."
A pack of Zhonghua cigarettes with filters costs four yuan, and one cigarette is twenty cents. Even a cadre like Wu Shengli, who earns hundreds of yuan a month, feels a little pain in the ass when he smokes them!
Then again, Zhonghua and Panda are originally sold as high-end cigarettes, and these two types of cigarettes are used to entertain foreign guests, so it is normal that they are expensive.
For example, the price of 55 cents for cigarettes without filters is a price that ordinary people can buy and smoke.
While discussing matters here, Wu Shengli would be responsible for getting towels for the reception, while Ye Zhiqiu and Wei Zhuangnan, the head of the materials department, would be responsible for getting everyone drunk.
As for Liu Wenjie, he can't drink much and can't contribute to the factory at all!
At this time, Zou Langtao knocked on the door and walked in. He respectfully said to Wu Shengli, "Leader, the car is ready, and it's almost time. It will take quite a while for us to get to the textile factory. Should we set off now?"
Wu Shengli nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go! With Xiaoye's firepower support this time, we must win this tough battle!"
Ye Zhiqiu found it quite interesting that these leaders who had changed jobs still treated each job as a battlefield, just like before.
Not to mention anything else, at least the momentum is there!
This time, only Wu Shengli, Ye Zhiqiu, and Wei Zhuangnan were at the table. Zou Langtao, as secretary, was responsible for helping the drunk people with the driver, so they had to wait outside.
Ye Zhiqiu followed Wu Shengli and called Wei Zhuangnan when they went out to the parking lot. Ye Zhiqiu followed Wei Zhuangnan obediently.
The jeep could only seat five people, so Wu Shengli sat in the passenger seat, while Ye Zhiqiu sat in the middle of the second row.
Zou Langtao needed to get out of the car first and open the door for Wu Shengli, so he needed to sit on the right side near the door.
The seat that should have been occupied by Wu Shengli, however, he did not like to squeeze with others, so naturally Wei Zhuangnan took the seat.
Wu Shengli warned: "Old Wei, although you can hold your liquor well, the main force today is Xiao Zhiqiu, so you'll have to figure it out when the time comes! Xiao Zhiqiu, go all out, and win this tough battle no matter what!"
I've pretty much negotiated everything else, except for the two towels per person. Not being able to win every battle isn't my style, so if I don't succeed this time, I'd rather get drunk!"
Wei Zhuangnan didn't know Ye Zhiqiu. He was not at the factory during the last reception, otherwise he would have been at the table and been the main host.
So he asked curiously, "Director Wu, how much can Comrade Ye Zhiqiu drink? Let me have a rough idea, otherwise I'm afraid I might use the wrong amount of firepower!"
Ye Zhiqiu had just turned eighteen and was considered fair-skinned. It was no exaggeration to say that he looked like a young pretty boy. It was hard to associate him with the ability to drink.
Full of deception!
Wu Shengli laughed and said, "Xiao Ye, tell Chief Wei how much you can drink!"
Wei Zhuangnan looked at Ye Zhiqiu curiously, which made him feel a little embarrassed and tried to show off, so he raised his index finger.
Wei Zhuangnan said disappointedly: "Only one pound? That's not very useful..."
Ye Zhiqiu replied weakly, "Chief Wei, I can keep drinking without falling down. Last time I drank five kilograms, and I was still able to go back to the Union Hospital from the factory, and then I went to the Pigeon Market for a walk..."
Not only was Wei Zhuangnan dumbfounded, but Zou Langtao next to him was also shocked.
Wu Shengli asked in surprise, "Xiao Zhiqiu, you didn't rest after returning to the hospital, but went to the pigeon market? I heard them say you were blushing so much, I thought you went back to the hospital to see your fellow villagers and then lay down to rest!"
Ye Zhiqiu explained, "Didn't I take a pack of cigarettes from you the other day? As soon as I started smoking them, I wanted to throw away the tobacco I grew back home in the countryside! So I went to the Pigeon Market, bought two Class B cigarette tickets from a scalper, and bought a pack of Daqianmen to take back to the countryside to smoke!"
Everyone laughed happily and said that the more smokers smoke, the better they become. Once they are used to smoking expensive cigarettes, they will find it difficult to smoke cheap ones.
Because expensive cigarettes do use tobacco and have a much better taste!
The textile factory was located in Shilibao. In fact, there were many textile factories in Beijing at that time, but the one that was only called the textile factory must be the First Textile Factory in Shilibao.
It takes twenty minutes to drive to Jing'an Village, so while we were discussing, the car had already arrived here.
After Zou Langtao got off the car, he negotiated for a while and the car was allowed to pass.
Following the instructions of the security personnel, we drove the car to the parking lot and parked it. We did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, we saw people from the textile factory coming out before getting out of the car.
They shook hands again. When Ye Zhiqiu shook hands with Qian Yuwen, the deputy director of the textile factory, he smiled and asked, "Comrade Xiao Ye, you look very young! Why did your Director Wu ask you to come here? There is no age limit at the table. Can you drink?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Leader, my boss always says that you can drink a lot and always asks me to learn from you! I'm thinking, I've never met you! If I haven't even met you, how can I learn from you?
So this time, as soon as I heard there was a drinking party, I volunteered to come along and toast the textile factory leaders! We must seriously learn from the leaders' fighting spirit. No matter how big the glass, we must overcome ourselves, keep working hard, and keep our fighting spirit unwavering!
Leaders must give me a chance. If I can't learn a thing or two from them, it will be a huge loss in my life, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life! "
Qian Yuwen laughed heartily and said to his men, "Look at the other comrades. Their fighting spirit is so high! And look at you? You should learn from Comrade Xiao Ye. Later, you should learn from Director Wu and the others!"
Wu Shengli laughed and said, "Director Qian, there's no need to start mobilizing now, right? Let me be clear, Xiao Ye is my favorite general. Take it easy and don't get him drunk! If you get him drunk, I won't let you go. Whoever gets him drunk, I'll fight him to the bitter end!"
