accompany them. Many things were easier to handle when only Tao Fang was present. 。The three of them took Guan Wenwei's chauffeured car straight to Jingzhou. They arrived in the city center around f...Fang Ya seemed to have come back to her senses and looked at Sima Yue: "Minister Sima, what's wrong" Sima Yue gave Fang Ya a look, meaning for her to help Ye Shengchang have a drink. 。It's obvious to everyone, even Governor Ye and the other party's executive deputy provincial governor Sha He, could tell what Sima Yue meant. 。If the governor of Shu Province, Yuan Luyao, came to toast Ye Fengnian, he would definitely drink it himself. After all, Yuan was the host, and they were both at the same level. 。But now it's the province’s deputy governor who's come over to offer a toast. The difference in their positions is obvious, and Ye Fengnian has already had quite a bit to drink. If Ye Fengnian and Shahe clink glasses right now, Fang Ya could step in and drink for him – it wouldn't be unheard of. 。Moreover, generally speaking, female subordinates will help to drink on behalf of their male superiors. They will proactively ask to toast with the leader, which can be seen as compensation for the leader not drinking themselves. Even leaders at a slightly lower level feel honored because of this "treatment". 。Fang Ya's temperament and figure are top-notch at this table. If she were to come out and pour drinks, even the常務副省長 (deputy governor) probably wouldn't object. 。 Sima Yue had mentioned this to Fang Ya before, and although Fang Ya said verbally that she wouldn't be responsible for stopping him from drinking, most women would say that, and Sima Yue didn't take it to heart. 。At this point, Fang Ya didn't take the bait at all, pretending not to understand Sima Yue's meaning. 。Sima Yue was a little annoyed. You're only the deputy minister of propaganda, and you're already being disobedient! If you became the minister, what would happen! Sima Yue glanced at Chen Hong, who immediately came over and said: "Governor Ye can't drink much, I'll drink on behalf of Governor Ye" Ye Fengnian nodded. "That's right, I'm already quite tipsy." 。Ye Fengnian clinked his cup with Sha He's, and Chen Hong immediately took the cup, finishing the wine in one gulp. 。Sha He took a sip and didn't finish it, saying, "Good, good, thank you." 。The party continued, and someone else came to toast Ye Shengchang. Chen Hong drank it cheerfully. 。Governor Ye gave a slight nod after reading, and he also held Chen Hong in slightly higher regard. 。In contrast, Governor Ye felt Fang Ya's performance was rather bland. However, he also knew that Fang Ya had connections in Beijing, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to temporarily take charge of the Jiangzhong Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department. 。 。At this time, Ding Shengjian, the provincial Party secretary of Shu Province, came over with his people to offer a toast. There were people from their propaganda department, as well as Xiao Zheng, He Xialiang, and Hao Qi. 。It also carried weight, everyone's voices lowered. Fang Ya saw that her cousin Liu Shisen wasn't there, and she wasn't surprised. According to Liu Shisen's standards, this gathering was really nothing special today. 。Ding Shengjian first toasted Ye Fengnian, and Chen Hong wanted to help him drink. After all, Ding Shengjian is ** , he could speak eloquently: "Governor Ye, I'm really sorry today. The leaders of the Beijing Propaganda Department have arrived, and I am under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Propaganda Department, so I can only accompany them over there." 。But my heart is set on this side. 。Governor Ye's visit to our Shu region with his delegation has truly brought honor and vibrancy to our land. 。I know Governor Ye must have already had quite a few drinks, but I still want to toast you with this one. I'll drink three cups, and Governor Ye, just one!

Regardless, Ding Shengjian was ** , and at a ratio of three to one, Ye Fengnian couldn’t politely refuse either. He picked up his wine cup and said: “Alright, I’ll take this one.” 。Ye Fengnian actually drank the cup of wine. Ding Shengjian's alcohol tolerance was also extraordinary. As expected, he poured three cups in a row and finished the wine. 。At this time, He Xinliang walked forward holding his cup and said, "Hello, Governor Ye. My name is He Xinliang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Panshan City in Ninggan Province. This time, I came to Sichuan with our comrade Xiao Zheng and Comrade Hao Qi, the Secretary of the Gungfeng District Party Committee. It's a great honor to meet Governor Ye by chance." 。Among the rivers, the province partnered with us in Ninggan. Not only did they provide us with enormous help in terms of funding and materials, but they also sent a great deal of cadres to support our work in Ninggan. 。Like our Comrade Xiao Zheng, he is a representative of the cadres who helped Ning in Jiangzhong! Today, let us all raise a toast to Governor Ye. 。We drank, Governor Ye, please have some. 。The pairing of Jiangzhong Province and Ninggan Province for mutual support is a major event that has resonated throughout the high levels of Huajing. Today, He Xinliang's words of thanks were well-received, demonstrating that not only did Jiangzhong assist Shuchong, but they have also consistently provided support to Ninggan over the past two years. A pleased look graced Ye Province Governor's face as he raised his glass and said: "Since you all have had a drink, I too must show some courtesy." 。"Oh, well, look at Xiao Zheng. He's having tea"

Xiao Zheng was indeed holding a teacup in his hand. "I apologize, Governor Ye, I can't drink alcohol. I'm substituting tea for wine, my heart is in it." 。"Ye Shengchang's face showed a hint of displeasure: "What's wrong What is not allowed" Xiao Zheng became embarrassed, and Sima Yue said, "Governor Ye, Comrade Xiao Zheng is in good health." 。"Well, I heard about that...," I told them about how Xiao Zheng wouldn't drink for poverty alleviation. The whole table, whether they were from Sichuan or Jiangxi, burst out laughing. They thought what Xiao Zheng did was a bit of a joke and not something to be taken seriously. 。。"That's..." Chen Hong hesitated, she glanced at Xiao Zheng. She had warned him before, to try and drink a little, but Xiao Zheng didn't listen, and now he was in this predicament. 。She also couldn't understand why Xiao Zheng wouldn't listen to her advice. Sima Yue said very forcefully: "Fight!" 。At this point, everyone fell silent and watched the spectacle unfold. 。Ye Fengnian originally didn't care whether Xiao Zheng would come to toast him or not, but now that Sima Yue had emphasized it like this, he found it hard to say anything. 。Chen Hong had no choice but to call Xiao Jingyu. Sima Yue said, "Put it on speakerphone." 。Chen Hong thought, if she couldn't get through, it didn't matter. She could just come up with a sentence later and round off the scene. 。After all, Xiao Jingyu just gave birth not long ago, it wouldn't be difficult to find an excuse. 。To my surprise, Xiao Jingyu actually answered the phone: "Chen Hong" His voice was very soft, as if he had no prejudice against Chen Hong either. 。Everyone present felt that, listening to the woman's voice on the phone, she must be an intelligent, emotional, and very beautiful woman. 。Chen Hong said: "Secretary Xiao, Minister Sima has something to tell you." 。"Xiao Jingyu didn't ask any further and said, "Okay" 。 Sima Yue spoke up, recounting the events of the day, and then said, "Comrades Xiao Jingyu, what do you say Should Xiao Zheng drink this glass of wine today Should he toast Provincial Governor Ye" This was a blatant power play. Everyone knew that Xiao Jingyu would definitely make Xiao Zheng drink. 。After all, Xiao Jingyu is just a deputy secretary of a city. She and Xiao Zheng were both subordinates of Ye Shengchang, and now it was Sima Yue, the head of this organization, who called her. This was a cup of poisoned wine, so she should drink it, right

But unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyu actually said: "Minister Sima, I never care about drinking. Xiao Zheng is outside, he has his own grasp" 。"As for me, I wanted to toast Governor Ye, but since we are so far apart, there's no way. I'll make sure to do it another time!" At this point Fang Ya suddenly said, "Xiao Jingyu, let me toast for you." 。Xiao Jingyu didn't expect Fang Ya to be there either, so he said: "Then that's the best>>> 。If Minister Sima has nothing else, I'll hang up first. 。Then the phone on the other end rang with a "di-da" sound, Xiao Jingyu really hung up the phone. 。Fang Ya raised her glass and said, "Provincial Governor Ye, I toast to you on behalf of Xiao Jingyu." 。Before that, Sima Yue asked Fang Ya to help him block the alcohol, but Fang Ya didn't follow suit. Now she is toasting to Xiao Jingyu instead. 。This made Ye Fengnian feel even more uncomfortable, but Ye Fengnian didn't show any displeasure on his face. He smiled slightly and said, "That's good too, Fang Ya helping drink is the same." 。Mr. Xiao Zheng, for being able to keep his promises, is also very good. 。Actually, Comrade Xiao Zheng, if you drink this cup of wine today, I wouldn't be optimistic about you. 。Do you know why If you drink, it means you're not serious about your commitment. Then the poverty alleviation in your county will probably be difficult. 。Now, you can stick it out to the end, I have high hopes for you! Come, those who can drink, drink, those who can't, drink tea!"Ye Fengnian drank the wine in his small cup in one gulp, Fang Ya, He Xinliang, and Hao Qi also drank the wine. Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea. 。Besides him, Shu's Ding Shengjian clapped his hands and said: "What Governor Ye just said is very good." 。"Just now, Governor Ye showed us the tolerance and understanding a leader has for their subordinates!" Ding Shengjian values Liu Shisen very much, since Xiao Zheng is Liu Shisen's friend, he will try his best to help him out of this. 。Everyone applauded as well. For today's occasion, let's try to keep the atmosphere pleasant and avoid disrupting it as much as possible. 。Ye Fengnian waved to everyone and said, “Thank you” 。Even Yuan Luyao, the governor of Shuchuan province, thought that Ye Fengnian handled the situation just now very well! He avoided embarrassment while also showing his magnanimity, which is not easy at all. 。Ding Shengjian thought it was best to leave now, so he said, "Let's have one more drink to everyone, and then we'll go." 。"Leaders, please eat more Sichuan dishes and drink more Sichuan wine. Then have a good sleep, because tomorrow you'll have to travel again!"

After finishing his drink, he left with Xiao Zheng and others. 。When Ye Fengnian looked over, his eyes turned cold for a moment. 。ing to celebrate the New Year. 。Ke Xiaojingyu and Xiao Zheng are still very busy. As the deputy secretary of the municipal committee and county magistrate, they have various meetings that cannot be fi...
