When Zi Peng heard Chun Ming's words, he felt that it made a lot of sense. So he gestured for everyone to sit down. After everyone had sat down, Zi Peng said,
”Editor-in-Chief Wang, Department Head Xu, you heard what Secretary Deng said just now. It's noon now, let's have a quick lunch in our village. The conditions here are far worse than in the city, so I hope you guys don't mind. ”
When the Editor-in-Chief Wang heard the words of the Secretary Deng and Zi Peng, he looked at the few people who came with him and asked:
”The leaders of the Taoyuan Village are all very passionate. They want us to stay and eat here.
After hearing Editor-in-Chief Wang Ji's question, Department Head Xu and the others said in unison:
”This question should be decided by the chief editor. We'll all listen to you.”
When the Editor-in-Chief Wang heard the four of them, he could only agree. So he said,
”Alright then, I will be troubling Taoyuan Village at noon today. Originally, we had discipline, we could not eat at the grassroots level. ”How can it be so hard to refuse your kindness? We can only follow the host.”
Hearing Editor-in-Chief Wang's words, Zi Peng and Chun Ming felt very happy in their hearts. Thus, the group of eight of them came to Power plant hotel. The Erdao River Power Plant was a big business here, so the conditions of their restaurant were slightly better.
Actually, before Zi Peng and Editor-in-Chief Wang went down to visit the production team, Zi Peng had already greeted Chun Ming. When Zi Peng and the others went down to visit, Chun Ming contacted the Power plant hotel via phone: He booked a private room and prepared 12 good dishes.
By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the twelve dishes were ready. When the waiter saw them, he quickly brought the dishes to the table. The 12 dishes were: braised beef, sweet and sour carp, fried chicken, Peking Duck, fried prawns, fried chilli peppers on the belly, steamed legumes with large bones, stir-fried green peppers on the pork meat, powdered cucumber and sea jellyfish.
In addition, there were two bottles of Wuliangye and a bottle of beer. At the table, Zi Peng, Chun Ming and Liang Jinghua from the newspaper office, as well as the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee's propaganda committee Guo Guiying were all drinking beer, while the Editor-in-Chief Wang, Yao Feng Xin, Xu De Fu and Wang Chang all drank white spirits.
After Zi Peng filled everyone's glasses with wine, Secretary of Branch Deng Chunming raised his wine and stood up. He looked around with his eyes and politely said:
”I feel very honored to be together with Editor-in-Chief Wang's Editor-in-Chief Wang, Chief Yao, Editor Liang, Minister Xu of the District Committee's Propaganda Department, and the Rural Party Committee's Propaganda Commissioner, Ms. Guo. For so many big shots to come from our little mountain village, we have to thank our Secretary Wang first. We Secretary Wang have always been a Secretary of Branch of this village for the past few years. This year, he asked for a change of shoulders, which was why he became Deputy Secretary-General. This comrade is very talented, and his writing is also very good. He is modest and studious. He began writing news reports last year and published a number of articles in the generalization Radio, the Tonghua Daily and the Jilin Farmer's Newspaper. Especially the Tonghua Daily, who gave him great support. To thank the leaders, today, the village prepared a light wine and light food, without respect, and hoped that everyone would have a good time to eat. We also hope that we can contact each other in the future, get closer, and give us greater support. Come, let's all raise our glasses. Let me toast everyone. Cheers! ”
After Chun Ming finished speaking, he clinked his wine glass with everyone else's and drank his first cup of wine. Chenchen lit up a cigarette for everyone, and Zi Peng poured them a second glass of wine. At this time, Editor-in-Chief Wang stood up while smoking and raising his wine cup, he said happily:
”I am extremely grateful to the leaders of the Taoyuan Village for being so warm to us. To be honest, he didn't come here to eat. Mainly to visit our newspaper's correspondent, Comrade Zi Peng. Firstly, I don't know him, secondly, we aren't friends, and thirdly, we aren't Family and friends. Just because he had published a lot of articles in the newspaper in the past six months and was of a high quality. To that end, it has attracted our attention. It was only then that we decided to visit him, to give him some care and encouragement, which is what our newspaper is supposed to do. But today, through Zi Peng, we met the Secretary Deng and Village Chief Wang, which made us even happier. I hope Comrade Zi Peng will continue to write more manuscripts to support our work in the future. I would like to borrow the Taoyuan Village's wine to toast everyone. May we support each other, encourage each other, take advantage of each other's weaknesses, and let the flower of friendship bloom brighter and brighter in the future. ”Come, cheers!”
After Editor-in-Chief Wang finished speaking, he bumped into a wall with everyone and drank his second cup of wine. When Zi Peng was about to be drunk for the third time, he raised his glass and stood up. He swept everyone with his eyes and said with a smile:
”I was especially happy today. I didn't expect the Editor-in-Chief Wang and two directors of the newspaper, as well as the District Committee's Minister of Propaganda and the Rural Party Committee's Promotional Committee member, would come to this small ravine to see me. In fact, my main purpose in writing was to complete the tasks assigned to me in the village. It is also a required course for me to work as a secretary, and a good form of improving my cultural level and quality. I thank the leaders for visiting me on the coldest days, and your support and encouragement will give me an incentive to move forward. I will keep writing in the future and better publicize the good people at the township and village levels. I wish everyone a toast, wish you good health and good luck in your new year! ”Come, cheers!”
After saying that, Zi Peng clinked glasses with everyone and drank the third cup of wine. At noon today, the drinking went especially smoothly. Following that, the District Committee's Minister of Propaganda, Xu Defu, the Rural Party Committee's Committee of Propaganda Advocate, Guo Guiying, the photographic director, Yao Fengxin, the editor, Liang Jinghua, and the village chief of Taoyuan Village all made short statements. They drank from 11.30 p.m. until one p.m., during which time everyone performed a performance. In the end, everyone happily ended this unusual lunch...
