Official road bends

Mao Ke immediately looked at Li Yi, and said with a smile: "Comrade Li Yi's drinking capacity must be excellent, right?"

Li Yi was pushed to the forefront by You Tuen, and if he retreated again, he seemed a little afraid of the enemy and petty, so he said: "I really don't drink too much, please be merciful to Vice Governor Mao.【-】"

Mao Keli said: "Comrade Li Yi, don't be self-effacing. I had a drink with Secretary You once before. Although there was no winner that time, I still have a certain understanding of Secretary You's drinking capacity. He knows you well. You are willing to bow down, so you must be much stronger than him! It seems that I am doomed to lose in today's wine competition!"

Li Yi glanced at You Tuen lightly, thinking that this guy really can't drink badly, he actually hides his clumsiness and plays with me like this!He is deliberately trying to get me drunk and see me make a fool of myself, right?

The relationship between You Tuen and Li Yi is very special.

On the one hand, You Tuen has to rely on Li Yi. He came to Jiangzhou not long ago, and he has no foundation and team. After learning about Li Yi's background, he relies more on Li Yi, and wants to use Li Yi's hand to deal with Zhang Zhenggui, who is sitting on the mountain. carved.

On the other hand, You Tuen is a person with a strong desire for power and control. After finally getting through from the central ministries and commissions to take charge of his own affairs, he naturally wants to hold power and doesn't want to be led by the nose or squeezed by others.Therefore, he is a little jealous or even jealous of Li Yi's strength.

As the leader, it is normal for him to have such thoughts.Zhang Zhenggui is certainly a thorn in his side, but sometimes Li Yi does not take him as a leader seriously, which makes You Tuen very upset, just like what happened today, when Li Yi said the plan presented to him When the book is just a smokescreen, don't mention how awkward he is. If his temper is according to his temper, he would have lost his temper a long time ago. But he is a mature politician, and he knows that this is not the time for him to lose his temper, so he still bears it Hold on.

Now, there is an opportunity to embarrass Li Yi, and he will naturally not let it go.

Comrade Mao Keli's drinking capacity, You Tuen has experienced it before, it is simply a legendary amount!

Li Yi is young and does not have a big belly, which proves that he usually pays attention to maintenance. Even if such a person can drink, his drinking capacity must be limited.

You Tuen pushed Li Yi out calmly. If Li Yi loses, it will be the face of Jiangnan Province. There must be many people scolding him behind his back. I'm afraid I'll be fed up with all kinds of meat and vegetables by Mao Keli!Seeing him making a fool of himself and being slandered by others, hehe, it can be regarded as revenge!

Li Yi's heart is like a bright mirror, but sometimes there are certain things, just like this, if you catch up, you can't push it away!

Immediately, someone came to pour wine for Mao Keli and Li Yi. The pourer was actually a veteran, and both glasses were filled to the brim without any leakage.

Mao Keli picked up the cup and said: "Comrade Li Yi, let's have a drink first! I would like to thank you for these industrial and agricultural projects in Jiangzhou, which opened our eyes and learned a lot. Knowledge."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Governor Mao, it's boring to drink like this. How about we make a bet?"

Mao Keli snorted, put down his cup, and said, "Comrade Li Yi, what suggestion do you have? What kind of prizes should we get? Money or something?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "On such an occasion, talking about money is too vulgar, and it's too unsuitable!"

Mao Keli smiled and said, "So, what other good ideas do you have?"

Li Yi looked around the crowd with a smile, and said, "I don't know how Governor Mao's right to speak in Jiangbei Province is?"

Mao Keli raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Yi said: "I need to know whether your words will work or not, and to what extent, before I can make a bet."

Someone beside Mao Keli laughed loudly and said, "Comrade Li Yi, you are asking the right person! Our Governor Mao is a man of great promise in Jiangbei Province. Even the Provincial Party Committee has to criticize Mao What a shame for the governor!"

Mao Keli waved his hand and said with a calm smile: "It's hard to say such things. The provincial party committee is the provincial party committee. I'm just a deputy governor. Naturally, I have to carry out various tasks under the leadership of the provincial party committee."

But that expression, that aura, seemed to be an expression of giving up to me.

Li Yi took a cold look, and knew that this person was a man with a good name and a very conceited person, and said: "I have heard a saying a long time ago, that in Jiangbei Province, the first and second leaders are not considered chiefs, the real chiefs, It's Vice Governor Mao! It seems that this statement is true!"

After hearing this flattery, Mao Keli was very pleased, his face became radiant, as if he was ten years younger, and the pores all over his body stretched out, he laughed and said: "What kind of legend is this, it can't be told Believe it, you can't believe it!"

Li Yi thought to himself, you don't completely object, which proves that this statement is very credible!Mao Keli is a representative of the local forces in Jiangbei Province, similar to Wu Dongfang in Jiangnan Province, but this person's luck is worse than Wu Dongfang's. The second-in-command can also be regarded as a big official who seals the border and cracks the soil.However, Mao Keli was only a deputy governor, and had two chances to be promoted, but he was promoted by someone from the central government.

The current number one in Jiangbei Province, Luo Changhong, and the second in command, Xu Tianze, are both members of the central ministries and commissions. They want to suppress the local forces, but the people in Jiangbei are very strong and united. It is also difficult for the first and second leaders to suppress this local force.

Now in Jiangbei Province, the situation is complicated. Several big bosses disagree with each other and fight fiercely.

And this kind of struggle is not going smoothly. Ordinary people, even ordinary civil servants, can't see any signs of it. From the performance point of view, Jiangbei's officialdom is peaceful. Those who only know to come through TV news and official newspapers Those who understand current affairs and political affairs cannot see the undercurrents behind this.

Li Yi also heard people say that when Zhang Yifan was in Jiangbei, he often called Li Yi on the phone and told Li Yi a lot about the situation there.So he knew something about the situation on the other side of the river.

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "Since Governor Mao is a man who promises everything, then I will make a condition. If Governor Mao thinks he can bet, we will have a drink!"

Mao Keli sneered slightly, and said: "What kind of bet, this foreshadowing is scary enough!"

Li Yi paused on purpose, and then slowly said: "Whoever wins will host the wine expo, and the loser will automatically give up holding the wine expo!"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene immediately became cold.

Everyone looked at Li Yi with different expressions. Some were shocked, some were surprised, some were incredulous, and some seemed to be watching a monkey show.

Mao Keli did not speak for a while.

Li Yi's words, like an atomic bomb, exploded in the field.

Tear off all the hypocritical packaging, take away all the lies and lies, and get right to the point!

Jiangbei Province is organizing a wine expo, which is not a secret to the senior cadres of Jiangbei Province, but they think it is a secret, so when Li Yi revealed the secret in their hearts, they were shocked!

It was the first time for the officials in Jiangnan Province to hear that Jiangbei Province would also hold a wine expo. When they heard the news, their expressions were naturally surprised.

You Tuen knew all this, but he did not expect that Li Yi would be so bold that he dared to bet on the right to hold the wine fair with a drink!This is no joke!This matter is related to the economic structure of the entire Jiangnan Province. Why did Li Yi make such a big choice so calmly?

Therefore, the expression on his face is incredible!

There are also a few people with calm expressions, who seem to be indifferent to all this. These people are spectators in the bustling world, players in the bustling world, maybe they are indifferent, maybe they see through the world, maybe they have nothing to do with themselves. Appreciate this wonderful struggle with the expression of watching a monkey show!

You Tuen was the first to react, took Li Yi's hand, and said softly: "Comrade Li Yi, are you too reckless? Think about it again! It's a bit too childish to bet on the wine fair Right? You are the founder, I believe you are very clear about what the wine expo means to Jiangzhou and Jiangnan Province, this is a major event in the province, you can’t bet on it!”

Li Yi said lightly: "Secretary You, don't worry! I have my own measure!"

You Tuen said in a deep voice: "Comrade Li Yi, you don't have this power! You can't do this!"

Li Yi said: "How about you come to gamble on this wine?"

You Tuen's expression froze, and he said: "This is two different things. Gambling on alcohol is gambling on alcohol. How can you bet on the right to host such an important wine fair! No, absolutely not."

Li Yi said: "Either Secretary You comes to play. If you want me to play, you have to follow the rules I set! If you can't trust me, why did you recommend me to represent Jiangnan Province to gamble in this wine game just now? Since everyone recommended me, Naturally, you just trust me? Hehe, it’s not too much for me to make a little bet on myself, right?”

You Tuen was speechless for a moment, originally wanted to play tricks on Li Yi, but he was tricked by Li Yi, if Li Yi wins today, it’s fine, if he loses, You Tuen is also responsible for this !Because he was the one who strongly recommended Li Yi to gamble on behalf of Jiangnan Province!

Aren't you drinking and having fun?How did you take such a big bet?

Can't afford to play!

You Tuen slapped his back heavily, and was so impulsive that he wanted to step forward to replace Li Yi, and personally go into battle and bet this wine with Mao Keli!

At this time, Li Yiji said: "Governor Mao, is it difficult to make a decision? If it is really difficult to make a decision, just pretend that I didn't mention this bet! Since it is a bet, it is natural to do what you can Ah, you can’t bet on something you can’t afford to bet on, right? Ha ha!”

Mao Keli snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Li Yi, let me ask you, may you be the master of Jiangnan Province? If you can't be the master, what's the point of our bet? Do you think it's worth it?" ?”

Li Yi said indifferently: "Of course I can, big deal, I'll just resign and return to the farmland! As a person, I have always been able to afford to gamble, and I can also afford to lose! The Jiangzhou Wine Expo is fully in charge of me, as long as you dare to bet with me , I am willing to take the risk of being dismissed from office to play a big game with you!"! .
