Chapter 337
Everyone burst into laughter, but in stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere around them, Wentao remained calm, as if the laughter had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Sun Peng suddenly pointed at Wen Tao and loudly questioned Ji Yang, "Yangzi, what's wrong with your college classmate? Why does he seem so ungrateful? Brother Menglong was just joking with him, but look at his bitter and resentful expression. Who is he showing this stern face to? Is he trying to please Brother Menglong?"
Hearing this, Ji Yang hurriedly smiled and explained to Sun Menglong: "Brother Menglong, please don't be angry. I'm really sorry. My classmate just graduated from school and has little social experience. He hasn't seen much of the world..."
While speaking, Ji Yang kept winking at Wen Tao, hoping that he would be smart and say a few nice words to ease the atmosphere.
But Wentao seemed to have completely failed to understand Ji Yang's meaning, and his face remained expressionless.
Seeing this, Sun Menglong couldn't help but frown slightly and glanced at Wentao with a sidelong glance, feeling a little unhappy. But when he saw Ji Yang's face full of smiles and the look of flattery and apology, he suppressed his anger.
Originally, Sun Menglong had thought that as a senior, he could show off a little, and if this young man was capable, he could give him a hand and arrange a decent position in the company. But he never expected this guy to be so ignorant and insolent that he simply looked down on him.
Thinking of this, Sun Menglong felt furious, but since they were at the table, he couldn't lose his temper on the spot. He could only wave his hand and said, pretending to be magnanimous: "Forget it, let's drink. Let's drink a few more glasses to have a good time today!" After that, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Ji Yang quickly bent down and reached under the table, carefully removing the two bottles of Shunlong Liquor, a local specialty liquor from Bengang City that he had carefully prepared. This was a relatively high-end product in the Shunlong liquor series, costing seventy or eighty yuan per bottle.
In this day and age, a bottle of wine costing 70 or 80 yuan is no small sum, almost equivalent to a bottle of wine costing 300 or 400 yuan in later generations. Its quality is indeed quite high. And these two bottles of fine wine were purchased by Ji Yang with great determination!
Ji Yang was smiling broadly, holding the bottle in both hands. Just as he was about to hand it to Sun Menglong, Sun Menglong frowned and waved his hands in disgust, saying, "I don't want to drink this crappy wine! I only drink the sauce-flavored ones!"
Hearing this, Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder: Such an expensive wine is actually not pleasing to him? What on earth is this sauce-flavored wine?
I know very little about alcoholic beverages. My father usually drinks bulk baijiu from a large barrel. Plus, I'm busy with work, so I rarely drink.
Besides, in a remote place like Qiaotou Town, there was no chance to attend any high-end banquets. So when it came to this so-called Maotai-flavor liquor, Ji Yang was completely confused and stumped!
Seeing that Ji Yang didn't understand, Xiao Yunfei quickly said, "Yangzi, our brother Menglong always drinks Maotai. I just saw some at the hotel front desk. Go get two bottles quickly. If it's not enough, get more!"
Ji Yang finally realized what was going on. Even if he was stupid, he knew what a maozi was...
Although Sun Menglong had just spoken harshly to him, he still had a glimmer of hope about Sun Menglong's transfer of his job, so he went to the front desk and asked for two bottles of Maotai.
A bottle costs more than 300 yuan, plus this meal, it would probably cost more than 1,000 yuan!
You know, his salary is only more than a thousand yuan. He originally wanted to spend half a month's salary to treat a guest, but he didn't expect to spend a month's salary in one go. It really distressed him!
But for people like Sun Menglong, Maozi is just their normal daily drink. After a few glasses of wine, their faces are flushed.
After drinking a little wine, Sun Menglong continued to brag about his abilities, while the others followed closely and flattered him.
"Wentao, hurry up and toast to Brother Menglong! What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yunfei called out to Wentao.
Wentao didn't care at all and just kept eating the delicious dishes on the table.
"Yangzi, your classmate is really hopeless! He is so ignorant that we don't even want to give him any support!" Sun Peng said sarcastically.
Sun Menglong's face was also filled with anger. He said, "You are such an ungrateful person. Don't you know how to toast? Someone who didn't know you would think you were the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee! You are just pretending to be so important!"
The more they talked, the more outrageous their words became. Wen Tao was getting a little angry at this point. He threw a glass of white wine on the table at them and said coldly, "You are all Yangzi's friends. Today, for Yangzi's sake, we will let you go. If it happens again, it won't be so easy!"
Wentao suddenly got angry, and everyone present was stunned.
Then I changed my mind and thought, we are all veterans in the Bengang City system. You are a newcomer, and you are pretending to be like us?
“I’m CNM…”
Sun Peng immediately cursed.
"What the hell are you so arrogant about? I'll make a phone call and have you report to the Municipal Party Committee Security Department tomorrow. If you want to be a leading cadre like this, I'll make you the gatekeeper!"
Due to the stimulation of alcohol, Sun Menglong immediately took out his mobile phone and called Yang Shuhua, director of the Cadre Department of the Organization Department.
"Old Yang, is there a new person transferred to the Municipal Party Committee named..."
"What? There's no such person!"
"I'm the director of the Cadre Department. All personnel transfers are handled by me. How could I not know about this person? Besides, no leading cadres have been transferred across regions during this period!" Director Yang said.
"Thank you, Lao Yang!..."
"Fuck! You're not even a civil servant, why are you pretending to be cool with me?"
