Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

During the time of the handover, the leaders of the two municipal bureaus came together for entertainment and relaxation. The first Shangjiang Municipal and Energy Bureau Leadership Bridge Competition held in Baoyin Building just ended, and the award ceremony followed.This friendship bridge game was sponsored by Dongneng Oil Products Sales Co., Ltd. The participants were divided into six groups. The first group was partnered by Fan Jiuming and Li Yueji, and the opponents were Feng Zhong and Zou Yun. They played seven rounds. The result of winning or losing is not used as the basis for awarding prizes. The 24 contestants in six groups will all receive the same final rewards, a certificate for each person, 2,000 yuan in cash, and a souvenir.

It was just in time for a deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress surnamed Li to be on tour in Shangjiang City, so Deputy Director Li was specially invited to be the award presenter. At this time, in the star-studded VIP room, there was a lot of excitement, greetings, greetings, handshakes, shoulder pats, greetings, smoking, exchanging information, whispering, whispering, laughing, the main figures in the two official circles of the Municipal Bureau , as well as celebrities from all walks of life in Shangjiang City who came to join in, all gathered here, creating an atmosphere of leisure and business.

It doesn't make much sense to spend the two thousand yuan by yourself. I said Secretary Zou, what do you mean?Fan Jiuming looked at Zou Yun who was drinking coffee and said. Zou Yun put down his cup and said, Secretary Fan, then I will give you my share too. Fan Jiuming laughed and said, although one plus one is equal to two, if I do that, wouldn't I be suspected of being preyed upon?Unkind and unrighteous talk? At this time, Lao Gu, the chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles who couldn't get in the way, took the opportunity to come forward and said, Secretary Fan, if you want to make the two thousand yuan meaningful and glorious, I have a good idea.

Fan Jiuming twisted his neck, hey, can this dog spit out ivory? It's possible to clone it, Secretary Fan.Chairman Gu walked around behind Fan Jiuming, pouted his buttocks, and showed his hospitality. Secretary Fan, I think you can donate these two thousand yuan to our Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and then we can make a decent event.Secretary Fan, you said, in this way, the significance of your two thousand yuan is far-reaching? Fan Jiuming smiled and said, if there is no such a sweet-talking woman like Chairman Gu in this poor unit, life will be really hard, right Secretary Zou?

Chairman Gu said without losing the opportunity, thank you Secretary Fan, thank you Secretary Fan for donating 2,000 yuan to our Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Fan Jiuming waved his hand and said, Don't pay, Lao Gu, you're following me again, aren't you?How about this, if you can persuade Secretary Zou to donate too, I will take two thousand yuan from my wallet immediately and advance it to you first. Zou Yun could see that Fan Jiuming was using himself as a stage play, so he had no choice but to say in a nonchalant tone, Secretary Fan, you are embarrassing me in front of Chairman Gu, I can give you two thousand yuan ?How about this, Chairman Gu, besides the two thousand dollars, we are planning an event where the two municipal bureaus will jointly hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition or something. In our Energy Bureau, there will be quite a few people writing and painting. Hanging up the exhibition bid, our Energy Bureau's Federation of Literary and Art Circles bleeds.I'll say hello to the chairman of the Bureau's Federation of Literary and Art Circles later. As for the details, you can discuss it at that time.Do you think this is good, Chairman Gu?

Fan Jiuming stood up, patted Chairman Gu's stomach and said, "Okay, Chairman Gu, buy one get one free, you're here today."Well, Secretary Zou praises you so much, so I will strongly support your work once. Later, I will mobilize other leaders and donate 2,000 yuan to your Federation of Literary and Art Circles, so that you can have a new year ahead of schedule!But Chairman Gu, I have something to say first, when the hard-earned money of the leaders enters your pocket, you can't spend it recklessly, otherwise, I will not be polite! Chairman Gu patted his chest and was so moved that he choked up. Secretary Fan, don't worry, I, Gu Yongtai, am not that greedy and heartless person.I have always believed that the money on the account of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is the hard-earned money of the city's law-abiding taxpayers. I have no reason to mess around, Secretary Fan!

Fan Jiuming shook his head with a smile, and said to Zou Yun, alas, did you see, Secretary Zou, thanks for not daring to throw away too much, it adds up to a matter of tens of thousands, and it moved our Chairman Gu so much, if you give him a hundred thousand If it's hundreds of thousands, it won't kill anyone! Zou Yun hecked a few times, and said with a smile, that's all, Secretary Fan, if you say it again, Chairman Gu will melt on the spot. Chairman Gu gave Zou Yun a grateful smile. At this time, the president of China Construction Bank brought a few people over and introduced them to Zou Yun one by one, including the president of the Communications Bank and the vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China. Kind words.

Before the reception kicked off, Deputy Director Li of the Provincial People's Congress finished playing the role of the special guest in a short time. The prizes for the contestants were packed in a white paper gift bag. Zou Yun took a peek at it. Inside the bag was a French-style crocodile shirt and an exquisite dark green hard box. I don’t know what it contained. . Zou Yun was curious, so he took out the dark green hard box and took out the dark green hard box. He saw the trademark on the box, and knew that the contents in the box were also of the crocodile brand, so he couldn't help but open the box. It was a men's handbag that smelled faintly of sheepskin.

Zou Yun took out the bag, and just about to open the zipper, Bi Qingming came to him somehow and grabbed the crocodile leather bag in his hand. Bi Qingming's presumptuous action immediately confused Zou Yun, and Fan Jiuming was also startled, and turned his head to take a look. Bi Qingming bowed his body and said in a low voice, Secretary Zou, little gift, little gift, it's not worth looking at here. Zou Yun turned his face sideways, glanced at Bi Qingming, and felt that there was a hint in his eyes, so he didn't say anything, just nodded.After Bi Qingming left, Zou Yun nimbly opened the box while putting the box into the bag, reached in and pinched the leather bag a few times, realizing that there was something in the bag.Zou Yun looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw nothing unusual in his eyes.From the feel, the goods in the bag are almost a board of RMB (10,000 yuan).As soon as Qian made a sound in his head, Zou Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

After that, Zou Yun couldn't relax all over his body.It wasn't until halfway through the reception that he quietly took out the crocodile leather bag when no one was paying attention, and saw that there was indeed a stack of RMB inside. The thickness told him that it was indeed a whole board!Zou Yun suddenly recalled that this must be a trick by director Bi Qingming, who took the opportunity to bribe himself, no wonder Bi Qingming lost his composure just now, it turned out that he was afraid of revealing the things in the purse. Hmm... This board is for everyone to participate in?Or some people have?Zou Yun thought, if some people have it, who would it be?The top leaders of the two parties and governments?Or... by the way, does Deputy Director Li of the Provincial People's Congress have a share?Zou Yun realized that the person who got this board today was not likely to be alone, so he felt that the matter was very difficult.Because he understands that it is not feasible to return the money to Bi Qingming here, and it is a trivial matter for Bi Qingming to stumble on the spot when there is a disturbance.It's not the best policy to deal with it afterwards. Others' eyes don't see it. If they don't see it, it will be troublesome to prove their innocence.The more Zou Yun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to look at Bi Qingming, who was on the other table, and give him a good meal.

At this time, the people at the table began to think about the next entertainment activities around Deputy Director Li's interest.Fan Jiuming intends to invite Deputy Director Li to play table tennis, Li Yueji intends to arrange a bowling game, and the director of the Municipal People's Congress is more interested in swimming in the development zone, but Feng Zhong and Zou Yun have never said anything or revealed anything about this matter. Out of the meaning of entertaining hosts. There was a lot of talk and opinions were not unified, so I had to seek the opinion of Deputy Director Li. If you want me to tell you, don't go anywhere. The trouble of moving cars is better to digest food on the spot and play a few rounds of mahjong.Deputy Director Li said, I remember that the mahjong tables in Baoyin are all imported and can shuffle the cards automatically. Director Li, I knew you wanted to play mahjong.Fan Jiuming said, then I will not accompany you grandly, Director Li, I will find some bosses to accompany you for a few laps later. Deputy Director Li said, yes, Secretary Fan. Li Yueji followed up and said, Director Li, I have something to do in the afternoon, next time you come, I will play with you again. Deputy Director Li said, yes, Mayor Li. Deputy Director Li is a frequent visitor to Shangjiang. Every time he comes, he has to squeeze time and find someone to play a few rounds of mahjong. Part of the funds that went to Jiang, because every time Fan Jiuming finds someone to light the cannon for Deputy Director Li, it is either the boss or the president, and 30,000 to 20,000 people are not considered money. I don't know if Secretary Zou has studied mahjong, let's play together?Deputy Director Li looked at Zou Yun. The question came a bit suddenly, and Zou Yun couldn't react for a while. Zou Yun is not very interested in mahjong. After coming to Shangjiang, he hasn't played mahjong yet, but he has watched one or two games. Zou Yun smiled and said, Director Li, I'm different from Secretary Fan. When I go to the table, my hands are wet. If I am taken to the province by you, Director Li, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. Zou Yun wanted to be humorous, but he didn't expect this humor to find a solution to the problem that was pressing in his heart. Zou Yun thought that when he was at the poker table, he would be a good point gunner, mainly for Deputy Director Li, and when it was appropriate, he would throw a few darts, so that the unknown renminbi in his hand would It just changed hands under everyone's noses. Although this is not a good way to digest this board of renminbi, there is no way to disperse this board into the pockets of Deputy Director Li and others right now. Feng Zhong, who had been watching his words and demeanor, felt that Zou Yun's behavior was abnormal. One was that he was not addicted to mahjong, and the other was that he had no friendship with Deputy Director Li.For a director of the provincial people's congress, who is still a deputy, if he has a meal with him, it is considered enough to give him face.Feng Zhong pursed his lips and stared at Zou Yun again. Being able to work and living is what you young cadres do, okay, okay, Secretary Zou!Deputy Director Li became happy. Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Feng Zhong said, "I heard that Director Li has recently become good at Maji skills. Today, Secretary Zou and I will use this occasion to ask Director Li for advice."In the past, Feng Zhong played mahjong with Deputy Director Li twice, and he was not very interested in Deputy Director Li's hard work on the poker table. Brother Feng, aren't you making fun of me?Deputy Director Li said. Feng Zhongdao, Director Li, you don't have stage fright, do you? Deputy Director Li clasped his fists and said, let's make concessions, Director Feng. Feng Zhong's intrusion made Fan Jiuming and Li Yueji a little puzzled. They both knew that Feng Zhong didn't have a good impression of Deputy Director Li, especially on the mahjong table.Fan and Li looked at me and I looked at you, with puzzled expressions on their faces, as if they were saying with their eyes, what kind of excitement is Director Feng trying to get together? According to this, the leaders of the Energy Bureau are all wealthy.Fan Jiuming glanced at Feng Zhong, Secretary Zou and Director Feng are on the battlefield today, so I will save two big bosses here. We are here for you entrepreneurs in Shangjiang City, to save some time to do business, I said Secretary Fan.Feng Zhong said it with gusto. In fact, Zou Yun did not expect that Feng Zhong would be involved in the mahjong table.But Zou Yun didn't think much about it, he just thought that it would be good if Feng Zhongjuan came in. On this tricky 10,000 yuan journey, an extra pair of eyes would give him more light, not to mention that these eyes were Director Feng's eyes! Director Feng, I say you have to be careful, don't lose your Energy Bureau to Director Li, Director Li has a big appetite.Fan Jiuming was beating Feng Zhong with a joke. Feng Zhong took a look at Fan Jiuming and said, Secretary Fan, maybe I can win the provincial capital to Shangjiang and give it to Secretary Fan as a gift. The people at the table laughed at this sentence, and Deputy Director Li deliberately created momentum and applauded. Li Yueji, who had been idle for a long time, picked up his wine glass, stood up and said, leaders, come on, let's work together to find a new Mayou for Director Li in Shangjiang, cheers! Several people came to the mahjong room smelling of alcohol and sat down around the electric mahjong table.This fresh face among the four was introduced by Fan Jiuming to everyone just now. His name is Du Rong. He is about to turn 50, and he is a small private entrepreneur. What rules?Deputy Director Li was the first to ask, and it could be seen that he was restraining his inner excitement. Du Rong took a look at Feng Zhong, and said politely, Director Feng, please tune the strings. Feng Zhong put the cigarettes he took out of his bag on the small coffee table beside him, raised his face and said, Director Li, let's stick to the old rules, 51. Deputy Director Li said, okay, string, just transfer to 51, Director Li. Okay, just 51.Du Rong said casually. Zou Yun understood that the 51 mentioned here refers to the amount of money. In the first hand, Deputy Director Li was the banker, Feng Zhonghe, Xiaopihe, Zou Yun and Du Rong lost fifty each, and Deputy Director Li was the banker, doubled, one hundred. Zou Yun took a deep breath, and instead of taking out the 10,000 yuan from the gift bag beside him, he took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his suit.He thought, at the beginning stage, it is necessary to take his own money for a walk first, and fight this sloppy eye with them.Normally, in Zou Yun's wallet, apart from the credit cards of several banks, the spare cash will not be less than 5,000 yuan. This is also an emergency habit he has developed for many years when he goes out. Feng Zhong's face was full of joy, like a child who got a lot of New Year's money.He held the money he won in front of him with both hands, and muttered, "If you don't win the first one, I'm stuck with this old saying today!" Winning first is paper, and winning last is banknotes.Deputy Director Li pouted and said. After playing two rounds of cards, Zou Yun felt that there were more than 2,000 yuan left in his wallet, so he put away the wallet on the table, bent down and took out the 10,000 yuan from the crocodile leather bag, and put it on the table nonchalantly. In the corner, he shook his hand and said, it seems that if you don't use the treasury, you really can't stand it. Feng Zhong's gaze slid across the 10,000 yuan bill with a swipe, and settled on Zou Yun's face.Feng Zhong said, Secretary Zou, is this going to use bricks?Don't scare your comrades. You guys in big companies are rich!Deputy Director Li said, with bright eyes, he turned emotionally at the 10,000 yuan. Du Rong's leather bag was next to him. When he took out money and put money in it, there was basically no expression on his face related to winning or losing. It felt like he was playing with counterfeit money. Take it to heart. Now Deputy Director Li is the big winner, Feng Zhong wins a little bit, and the money that Zou Yun and Du Rong export is about the same thickness.However, Zou Yun knew in his heart that this Du Rong was better at playing cards than himself. Even though he was sending out on purpose, he lost quietly, like that. There is a main direction of attack, presumably when he came, Fan Jiuming explained something. When it was Deputy Director Li's turn to sit in the manor, Zou Yun counted out a thousand dollars from a board and threw darts! Throwing darts is a common saying on the local poker table: that is, before the start of a certain round of cards, a temporary raise is made. The number of people is not limited, and four people can play darts at the same time. Ready. In a small poker game, throwing a handful of darts, thirty yuan and fifty yuan is enough to stimulate, and at most one hundred yuan to stop; but in a big casino, the weight of a handful of darts is heavy when weighed. , Thousands of piercings are not new. Sometimes, due to bad luck, if the darts are not on the road, and the piercings are not in the right place, it can turn a person who is living a well-off life into a pauper in the blink of an eye. Du Rong glanced at Zou Yun. Feng Zhong reacted more clearly to Zou Yun's move, frowning deeply.But he didn't say anything, just the corners of his mouth twitched. Hehe, Secretary Zou, it’s fine to just mean it, how embarrassing it is.Deputy Director Li smiled and said, there are real and fake faces on his face. Zou Yun patted a thousand dollars, and said, Director Li, are you afraid of being stabbed by me? Deputy Director Li straightened his chest and said, yes, he has courage and a gambling spirit!Secretary Zou, is it one thousand?OK, I'll tell you a thousand!After finishing talking, he put a thousand yuan on Zou Yun's one thousand yuan, looked at Feng Zhong and Du Rong and asked, two people, don't you want to follow the excitement? Du Rong glanced at Feng Zhong, there was no excitement on Feng Zhong's face. Du Rong said, I will try my luck.After speaking, he gently pressed the one thousand yuan onto the two thousand yuan. Feng Zhong lit a cigarette, and secretly glanced at Zou Yun, as if trying to figure out something. After playing the cards, without playing a few cards, Deputy Director Li took all the money on the table with a small fart, and was so happy from ear to ear. ... Zou Yun had a hard time delivering this board, his hands, eyes and heart were tired, and he couldn't count how many cups of tea he drank. Now in front of Zou Yun, there may only be one thousand yuan. Feng Zhong, who has not spoken for a long time, estimated the number with his eyes.It was also at this moment that Feng Zhongru woke up from a dream and realized Zou Yun's true intention of playing mahjong today, and his heart trembled a few times. Fly one last dart!Zou Yun patted his forehead a few times and pushed the one thousand yuan forward. Du Rong took out 5,000 yuan, put it on the table and said, I will try again. At this moment, Feng Zhong's thoughts were drawn to the poker table by his deeply buried gambling nature.Five thousand yuan was put on the table, which, in Feng Zhong's opinion, just had a slight taste of gambling.He rubbed his hands and said, haha, wait a minute, whoever misses his birthday will suffer a lot! Deputy Director Li didn't know whether it was because of impulsiveness or tiredness, his eyes were congested with blood, as red as two polished bloodstones. Touch yourself!Feng Zhongle said, I really celebrate my birthday today! Good card, good card!Deputy Director Li said softly, Jiang is still old and hot, Director Feng! I can't let my partner, Feng Zhong looked at Zou Yun and said with a smile, walk out of here naked later, right? Zou Yun smiled, heaved a sigh of relief, and blinked his sour eyes a few times. That night, Feng Zhong called Bi Qingming with a heavy heart and told him the whereabouts of the 10,000 yuan he gave Zou Yun. Director Feng, do you think the surname Zou did this to pretend to be confused with us, or... Feng Zhong said angrily, if I could understand him thoroughly, would I still take a big turn and go to the bridge match to talk nonsense?Just put one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand in the past, wouldn't it be over! This is the second time that Bi Qingming has run into a wall with Zou Yun.The first time Zou Yun's wife was hospitalized in Beijing, Bi Qingming fled to Beijing and sent 10,000 yuan.Afterwards, Zou Yun returned all the money to Bi Qingming. Bi Qingming searched for Zhe and said that it is understandable for Mr. Zou to be cautious once or twice when he was just on the road. Director Feng.Come down, I will look for another chance to attack him. Feng Zhong said in a low voice, you have to be considerate when doing things in the future, and stop doing such wasteful things as blind people lighting lamps.Also, in front of Jiang Xiaoyang, you have to leave some leeway in what you say and do. If you can keep her from knowing, it's best to bypass her, so as not to make everything a mess in the end. Bi Qingming fully agreed, yes it is Director Feng.
