C106 A graceful figure (1/2)
”Then... ”I'll head over first …” Liu Yue nodded at me, pursed her lips and smiled, then walked out of the resting room.
I watched Liu Yue's graceful figure as she left, until she disappeared from my sight.
That night, the students of our middle school received a warm welcome from the Secretary Ma. The Secretary Ma was in high spirits, and with me accompanying him, they toasted the students, praising them on how young they were and how promising their future was. I introduced the names, units, and positions of the students next to a Secretary Ma.
Secretary Ma shook hands with them one by one and accurately said the name of their unit's boss. From time to time, he would laugh and talk about his interactions with these bosses.
My classmates all clinked cups and drank with Secretary Ma respectfully, saying some words of flattery towards him.
I suddenly realized that these students of mine who were usually gentle and elegant, with extraordinary temperament, were actually all quite skilled when complimenting their leaders. I had never heard of those extravagant and flattering words before.
Secretary Ma was obviously very satisfied to hear all these praises and respect, and his expression was very satisfied.
After Secretary Ma served the wine, Mei Ling said to me: ”Director Jiang, lead the way, I will also take a look.”
Secretary Ma smiled and nodded: ”Go.”
Thus, I brought Mei Ling to sit at a table and toast the students, and introduced them one by one.
When we were introducing Mei Ling, I told everyone, ”This is our newspaper's President May!”
”Yo?” President May, so young and beautiful, so young and promising, tsk tsk … ”The county level leaders …” The students all expressed their admiration.
”No, no, I'm flattered. I'm not the current President, the current President is the current Secretary Ma …” Mei Ling smiled humbly, her face flushed red.
The meaning behind her words was very clear. If he wasn't the real President, then he was undoubtedly the Deputy President.
”That's still very impressive, vice county leaders!” The students continued to praise him.
Mei Ling happily toasted and drank with everyone, patting me on the shoulder as she said: ”Our Director Jiang is the youngest Department cadres of the newspaper, and is also one of my most treasured middle echelons. To study together with you, you must all help me out … …”
”President May is too polite, everyone learn from each other.”
I still had a smile on my face as I raised my cup. ”Come, let's toast to President May.”
”Come, cheers!”
After I finished drinking, I returned to the table in Secretary Ma. However, Mei Ling did not follow me back, but stayed at one of the tables.
Seeing Mei Ling's brazen look, the Secretary Ma frowned and said to Liu Fei: ”Go, call her back. Drink some wine, then don't know your surname.”
”Yes sir!” Liu Fei quickly went over and whispered something into Mei Ling's ears. Then, Mei Ling restrained herself, stood up and said goodbye to everyone, before returning to our table.
Then, we began to respect each other, students began to toast each other, the atmosphere was very warm, very lively.
Mei Ling's face was flushed red as she clinked cups with me and drank wine while speaking: ”I was chatting at that table just now, and when I mentioned the matter of Secretary Ma giving them wine and them going to sing first, they actually said that they did not know about it, and said that they had never eaten here with you, and that this was their first time eating here with you, so you say it's not strange, but the last time you ate together, there was actually not a single one at the table I sat at.”
My heart skipped a beat as I turned my head to look at that table, then turned to look at Mei Ling, smiled and said, ”Haha … That's right, what a coincidence, the table does not have anyone else eating there last time. ”
After saying that, I looked at Liu Fei, and our eyes met.
I know, Liu Fei must be suspicious.
After eating their fill and dispersing, Mei Ling said to Liu Fei as she sent off her classmates: Go to the fourth floor and get a room. If Secretary Ma wants to sing, there's only one of us.
So we went back to the 4th floor, opened a private room, and began to sing and drink.
Everyone drank quite a bit today, especially Mei Ling, who drank even more.
In the chartered room, Mei Ling unrestrainedly danced with Secretary Ma, and a while later sang ”Little sister thinks of big sister's tears …”
As for me, Liu Fei and I will offer wine, flowers and applause by the side.
My head was spinning and I went out to the bathroom.
4. All the rooms in the building are karaoke rooms, filled with music and singing.
At the end of the bathroom hallway, I washed my face and cleared my head.
He had only taken a few steps when he was suddenly attracted by a song from a nearby chartered room. It was a female voice singing the song, ”A Dream of Me and Me Chasing.”
”After drifting for so long, I can only stay at every port for a short while. I can't stop to enjoy the happiness and sorrow of this life. I let the wind take me for a walk. I'm still lonely and wish that you could lean against my chest, yet I don't want you to be gentle with me. The crowd pretends to be cold …”
The song was melodious and sad.
I stopped and listened.
”I don't dare to shed tears. Let fate lead me north, south, east, and west. I can never part with the world's sorrow and joy, and who is waiting for me …”
I listened quietly. This was Liu Yue's song, this was Liu Yue singing. They must have finished eating and relaxed a little here.
This is the first time I've heard Liu Yue singing.
