Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

After mutual introduction, everyone learned that the leading county party secretary turned out to be high school classmates with Gao Liqiu. The visitors were not empty-handed. Their driver took out two boxes of wine and several boxes of tea from the car. After all, the county leaders were much more generous than the town leaders.

Gao Liqiu glanced outside subconsciously and said, "No one will come again, right?"

Zhao Zhiqiang and Secretary Zheng from the town said almost simultaneously: “It’s really gone this time!”

Uncle Zhao Zhiqiang was very happy. He originally wanted to use Gao Liqiu to fool the town leaders, but now three big leaders from the county came, which gave him another chance to get in touch with them. Next is the time for him to show off his power. He must find ways to leave a deep impression in the minds of these leaders.

Gao Hongda's father was very unhappy because his brother-in-law advised him not to go to the big table. The reason was that Gao would lose his sense of proportion when he drank. He could not be embarrassed in front of so many leaders when he spoke irresponsibly. Losing the face of our old farmers. To put it bluntly, I was afraid that Lao Gao would be embarrassed after he came to the table. What made Lao Gao even more unhappy was that his son, who had just grown up, was even arranged to have dinner with the leader at the table, and it was arranged by his younger brother himself. Could it be that he, the head of the family, no longer has the right to eat at the big table?

This meal was also a kind of torture for Gao Hongda. Both his two elders and the five serving leaders were in bragging mode throughout the whole process.

The secretary of the county party committee said that he was about to enter the leadership team of the municipal party committee. The secretary of the town reported his achievements to his leader. His uncle exaggerated his economic strength a hundred times. Even his always humble uncle repeated over and over again that he could go to Hebei. Be the mayor of any city.

Gao Hongda really couldn't get a word in, so he could only pour them drinks honestly.

However, the drinking capacity of this group of leaders was really astonishing. The seven of them finished a box of Maotai, and then opened a box of wine brought by the county party secretary. This made Gao Hongda's father very distressed. This box of Maotai cost several thousand dollars, and it was all eaten up by these losers in one meal!

Gao Hongda's aunt has seen the world and comforted her by saying: "Brother, don't worry about that little thing. This is also paving the way for Xiaoda's future. When he graduates from college, whether it's employment or business, he can get to know a few more people." The upper-level leaders are always good. Looking at the tea they sent, it is estimated that a pound costs more than a thousand yuan."

Gao Hongda's father said disdainfully: "These officials know how to eat and drink all day long! How can we ordinary people be willing to drink such expensive wine and tea? I just feel that Erguotou, which costs ten yuan, still costs 20 yuan a pound. The tea is very good!”

Gao Hongda's mother teased him and said, "You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!"

The meal lasted from noon to evening, and the food on the table was heated several times. Gao Hongda felt that his butt was almost going numb. These people are still boasting enthusiastically and have no intention of quitting.

During the dinner, old uncle Zhao Zhiqiang took Gao Hongda out to release water. After the two of them finished happily solving the problem in front of an old tree, Zhao Zhiqiang curled his lips and said to his nephew with a wry smile: "Son, do you think your uncle is in trouble?" Isn’t it difficult? If we, a powerless commoner, want to make a fortune, we have to have a good relationship with these leaders! We are also afraid that people will think that we are a gangster and ignore us. I am doing some legitimate business and go around begging girls to complain to my grandma. If you act like a wolf in front of ordinary people, then on the other hand, you have to pretend to be a grandson in front of even a big-ass official. Remember, kid, you must try your best to enter the system after graduation!"

Gao Hongda didn't know how to answer. There was nothing wrong with what his uncle said, but he was already a multi-millionaire, and he was still joining the ranks of billionaires. The rigid life within the system was not his pursuit.

The uncle still kept preaching: "When you go to college, you should understand that Shang Yang's reform proposed a new political approach and a new advantage. It has been imitated since ancient times. Therefore, if you want to make money, you must stand on a united front with the country. And these officials are the representatives of the country! If you offend them, you will offend the country!"

Not to mention, what this person who had just studied for a few days said was quite literate, Gao Hongda couldn't help but flatter him: "Second uncle, you are so awesome, you can't even learn things in college. I can tell you all!"

This made his uncle even more disgusted: "Do you think I have been fooling around in society these past few years? I am reading and studying every day, and I must not fall behind. You said, if you don't have some culture, you won't be accepted by this gang. Are human spirits coaxed to death? I still have to coax them out!"

Sighing, Zhao Zhiqiang continued to complain: "Other people think that we are too thick and long in society, and they think that building a sand pier is equivalent to hugging a golden pimple. In fact, the traffic police, road administration, urban management, industrial and commercial river department, which of these piers are there? They all have to be in place, otherwise, my years of hard work can be wasted for any reason! Do you think it is embarrassing for me to be so humble to these officials today?"

Gao Hongda quickly shook his head in denial.

Zhao Zhiqiang chuckled and continued to chatter: "If you are embarrassed, you will lose it. When we become bigger and stronger, we will have to find everything we lost one by one, and let more people beg us and rely on us for food and political achievements!" "

While the two men were chatting, uncle Gao Liqiu also ran out to release the water. He frowned and said to Zhao Zhiqiang: "Hurry in and knock these guys down. I can't hold on any longer!"

Zhao Zhiqiang rolled up his sleeves and turned back to continue drinking.

This time it was Gao Liqiu's turn to teach Gao Hongda. Compared with Zhao Zhiqiang's blind preaching, his uncle was obviously more democratic. He asked Gao Hongda: "Do you have any opinion about your uncle?"

Gao Hongda was puzzled: "What can I say? We have admired him since we were children!"

Gao Liqiu nodded and said: "This person is flexible and flexible, generous and not afraid of the stage. The key is that he has a really good brain and can make friends with anyone. He is definitely a person."

Gao Hongda nodded in agreement: "My uncle has his own strengths, and I can't learn from them!"

Gao Liqiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be imitating Handan. He has his strengths and you have your advantages. You two have different personalities and will take different paths. In my opinion, he will be at the low end in the future." There will be a market of its own at the commercial level, but you will be different. Your starting point and vision will be much higher!"

Gao Hongda asked proudly: "Uncle, can I understand that you are praising me?"

The uncle nodded and said: "Of course I am praising you. You are the pride of our Lao Gao family! You are a rising star! But you must learn to keep a low profile. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it!"

Gao Hongda also nodded vigorously to express his understanding.

Returning to the dinner table, Gao Hongda once again accepted the mental torture from several old guys. My uncle's language skills are indeed very good. He will not let everyone have any chance to be silent. Sometimes he will make jokes and sometimes he will be serious. It was originally a family banquet-style gathering, so everyone was free from official formalities and formalities and could enjoy themselves. But there is always one goal, to impress the other person. When there is really no topic to talk about, they will point the finger at Gao Hongda, lecture him in various ways, and teach him all kinds of human experiences without hesitation. It's not enough if you don't listen, it's not enough if you don't listen seriously, and it's even worse if you don't nod in approval after listening. no. Although he is less than twenty years old now, he has a forty-year-old soul living in his body. This feeling of having to be honest and obedient without being able to interrupt is really unpleasant!
