Chapter 42: Drunken Chaos

  Gao Daoming finished talking in the countryside and didn't even have lunch, rushing to the Forestry Bureau to report on the fruit garden being cut off from water. The Lin Dong Fruit Garden is the largest in the county with good benefits. It's said that many livestock are thirsty and waiting for water supply. The leaders of the Forestry Bureau naturally wouldn't ignore this. Both parties quickly reached an agreement: first, the fruit garden would support the construction of roads in Shanhe Township; second, Lingdong and Shalin villages would symbolically allocate some barren mountains and slopes to the fruit garden as compensation; third, the fruit garden could use the water sources of Lingdong and Shalin villages free of charge without any reason for cutting off water.

  The fruit garden this roadblock tiger, after struggling and compromising, finally had a perfect ending, and the road repair was officially put on the agenda. Lu Zhengdong followed Wu Zhonghe to the county seat to coordinate the explosives, from the Civil Explosives Company of the Materials Bureau, the two people rushed to Yanghe's home in the county town, Wu Zhonghe wanted to pull someone out of the Transportation Bureau and get some road repair tools, at noon he had to invite Director Wu of the Transportation Bureau for lunch, Wu Zhonghe said while walking:

  "This family's gate is very particular, it has always been the case that drinking determines relationships. If you drink well, things will go smoothly; if you don't drink well, even with good relations, there will be a discount. You also know my capacity, just half a catty, completely his appetizer. Director Wu has nothing to do this afternoon, today you should perform well and get Director Wu drunk. Not only can we try to get something out of it, but also think of a way to bring up the road roller issue again. That thing is just a casual stroll around the circle, if we can let Director Wu loosen his grip on this matter, that's not a small amount of money either."

  Lu Zhengdong nodded, when asking for help, one must cater to the other's preferences. Drinking is a compulsory course in official circles. Only when the wine reaches the stomach can emotions be stirred up. When emotions are good, things that can be done can be accommodated. Don't say Director Wu likes this cup, even if he doesn't like it, he has to accompany him well.

  The current traffic bureau is not so powerful, especially in the county where the finances are difficult and there is no money to repair roads. However, compared to other bureaus, the traffic bureau is still relatively better off. It's also not easy to get things done by asking around.

  Lu Zhengdong also knew that the cost of a road roller was expensive, and the village's funds were still very tight, so they had to save wherever possible. Wu Zhonghe spoke again, saying he could only splurge this time, but Lu Zhengdong, although having a good capacity for liquor, heard Wu Zhonghe's tone and knew that Director Wu of the Transportation Bureau was also a heavy drinker, so he didn't dare to be arrogant, saying:

  "Director Wu is an old comrade who has been through the test of wine, I don't know if I can keep up with him, anyway, I'll die to accompany this gentleman."

  Wu Zhonghe nodded and the two of them arrived at the location. Before long, Director Wu had also arrived.

  Wu Director saw that only one person was keeping the appointment, Wu Zhonghe and Lu Zhengdong looked at each other, the two people already had a good understanding of each other, they knew what the other meant, to take down with two against one!

  Director Wu's build was just average, and his belly wasn't the typical general's belly, but when it came to drinking, he was really formidable. As soon as the dishes were served, he clinked glasses several times in a row, and a bottle of wine was gone in the blink of an eye.

  Wine is just a medium and lubricant, after a few cups of wine, the unfamiliar feeling between Lu Zhengdong and Director Wu, who met for the first time, quickly dissipated.

  Lu Zhengdong also toasted Director Wu alone with a "good things come in pairs" and said some flattering words, which seemed to please Director Wu.

  "Zhonghe, your deputy is quite straightforward when drinking, unlike some young people who are hesitant as soon as they sit down at the table. A person's character can be seen in their drinking manners, not bad, not bad."

  Wu Zhonghe smiled:

  "I won't be so presumptuous as to bring you to meet Big Brother again. Come on, I'll walk another one."

  Wu Zhonghe and Director Wu were originally familiar with each other, and Lu Zhengdong was also quite skilled at handling such things as adjusting the atmosphere at the wine table. The three of them quickly became harmonious and joyful, chatting about romantic affairs and enjoying themselves.

  Three bottles of wine went down without much effort, Wu Zhonghe didn't drink much, fearing that he couldn't hold his liquor and would get drunk, seeing Director Wu had already gotten quite a bit of feeling, the atmosphere was almost right, only then did he bring up the matter of repairing the road.

  Director Wu waved his hand casually:

  "Little brother, you just need to repair a tractor road, it's not a big deal. I'll send someone to guide you when the time comes. As for the tools for repairing roads, there aren't any new ones, but we do have some that were discarded from the maintenance section. If you're satisfied with them, come over tomorrow and we'll handle the formalities..."

  Wu Zhonghe nodded his head and smiled:

  "Thanks, big brother! You know our mountain village is a poor place, lacking everything. Those things, take them to the blacksmith in the countryside and hammer them into shape, they can still be used... This time repairing the road is also rushed, there's really no other way, if we don't repair it, I won't be able to stay in the village anymore. Big brother, you should support your little brother a bit more, give us some discount on that slow and clumsy iron bull of yours..."

  Director Wu also clicked his tongue and said after a moment of contemplation:

  "Little brother, don't look at how slow that guy is, he's actually a sly old tiger. He's already given your village a good deal, if it gets any cheaper, I won't be able to explain myself. After all, there are other places..."

  Director Wu saw Wu Zhonghe and Lu Zhengdong still looking poor, and hastily said:

  "Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you two. I'll just give them a call and that's it. This meal is really expensive, the prices are disrupting the market..."

  Lu Zhengdong smiled to himself, Director Wu was a leader who "tested with liquor", no matter how good the relationship was, he wouldn't break the rules, this must be within the scope of principle, if it really disrupted the market price, then Director Wu would definitely not recognize him even when drunk.

  That's the wine table culture. Director Wu said that, which gave enough face to Wu Zhonghe and also saved his own face, actually not violating any principle...

  Three people drank another half jin, Lu Zhengdong also felt his whole body hot, and his head started to spin, already a bit over the limit. Wu Zhonghe was already drunk, and Director Wu seemed to have reached his limit as well, very satisfied with this drink, only then did they stop...

  Lu Zhengdong sent Director Wu to a taxi, and then sent Wu Zhonghe to the reception house. Seeing that Wu Zhonghe was also drunk and wouldn't vomit, he found a taxi back to Zhucong Factory himself.

  After getting off the bus, Lu Zhengdong also stumbled upstairs and arrived at his own home. He took out the key and opened the door, but after a while, he still couldn't open it. However, a voice came from inside:

  "Who is it?"

  Lu Zhengdong was taken aback:

  "Winter lotus sister, are you at my home?"

  Lin Donghe smiled in it:

  "You opened the wrong door, your home is next door. You've been drinking."

  Lu Zhengdong finally looked up and saw that he was wrong, so he responded with a sound and walked towards his own home.

  Lu Zhengdong hadn't even opened the door when Lin Donghe walked out and saw him like that, so she quickly helped him inside.

  Lu Zhengdong got off the car and was blown by the wind, the wine power came up, his stomach started to churn, and he hurriedly rushed to the bathroom, leaned on the toilet and scratched his throat with his hand, vomited for a while, and felt much lighter.

  Lin Donghe was busy getting him water to rinse his mouth, twisting and holding a towel. Lu Zhengdong rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and was about to go to his own room. Seeing Lin Donghe still following, he said:

  "It's all over once you've vomited."

  "It's all like this and still pretending to be strong. I'll just help you get through it..."

  Lin Donghe pulled up one of his hands and supported him, Lu Zhengdong's body instinctively reacted again. Lu Zhengdong was a normal person who had experienced romance, but it had been several months since he had any physical contact with a woman. He hadn't thought about it before because he was busy with work, but now that he had drunk wine, at this age when his physiological needs were the strongest, and being held in the arms of such a beautiful young woman, his heart suddenly burned with desire.

  Lu Zhengdong felt that his nerves, numbed by the alcohol, had suddenly become extremely sensitive. His nostrils were filled with the enticing aroma of perfume, and Lin Donghe's soft hands, as well as her smooth skin pressed against his body, especially the pair of full and towering breasts that occasionally tightly pressed against his back, made his heart involuntarily throb with excitement.

  Lu Zhengdong only felt that his whole body was burning like a fire, Lu Zhengdong deep down felt that this idea was wrong, but his subconscious was filled with longing for Lin Donghe's plump body, struggling in his heart, and it seemed that he was about to reach his limit...
