Chapter 8: Reward for Merit, Punish for Fault!

  Merit deserves reward, fault deserves punishment, this is the most basic principle. Zhang Dasan as county magistrate, can not help but understand, his previous words to Yang Jie, directly pushed Yang Jie to the wall, as long as Yang Jie still wants to mix in the system, he has no choice but to accept.

  Zhou Dalong stood up for Yang Jie, which was expected. Earlier, Zhang Dasheng saw Yang Jie drink a bowl of wine and his face changed. He knew that Yang Jie's capacity for alcohol was definitely not as good as Jimmy's. The reason he forced Yang Jie to drink was just to make him accompany Jimmy in drinking until the end, when they would both fall down gloriously. This would make Jimmy feel guilty, and during the project negotiations, the county would be able to gain some initiative.

  His idea was good, but he used Yang Jie as a disposable pawn. No matter how well Yang Jie accompanied him, Zhang Da Xian would not suffer any losses. However, he overlooked Zhou Da Long's emphasis on Yang Jie. At this time, Zhou Da Long publicly asked him to explain himself, and he became somewhat flustered.

  Zhou Dalong's words were not bad. At this time, Yang Jie and Jimmy's way of drinking was simply not a regular reception toast.

  He downed a full glass of 56-degree liquor in one gulp, and if he could drink like that, even those cadres who had been tested by alcohol would be no match for him. As for Yang Jie, who was just a young man who had just graduated and started working, no one knew what his drinking capacity was.

  Looking at Yang Jie's momentum, it's not impossible to drink a few more bowls. Putting his life on the line for this sentence is absolutely not an empty promise. Zhang Dashan didn't know for a moment that if Yang Jie really accompanied Jimmy to drink and made this project a reality, how would he reward Yang Jie then?

  Lei Secretary sat next to Zhang Dasen, heard what Zhou Dalong said to Zhang Dasen, and couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart. Wasn't Zhang Dasen going to let Zhou Secretary and Yang Jie's military? Now Yang Jie responded calmly, and actually had a real drink with Jimi, under the gaze of everyone, not pretending at all.

  If Yang Jie can really accompany Let Jimi to drink happily, then the county will certainly give Yang Jie credit for it. Otherwise, who will be willing to work hard for the county's work in the future?

  "Secretary Zhou, as the saying goes 'reward for merit, punish for fault!' Yang Jie's merits and demerits are still debatable at this point. Is it not a bit too early to discuss rewards?" Zhang Dasheng saw that Lei Secretary and Chen Director were watching from the side, and Li Mingsheng and Fang Chaoming, leaders of the tungsten mine, were also staring at him, so he had no choice but to answer Zhou Dalong.

  "County Head Zhang, you're being a bit too petty now. I think Yang Jie has done nothing wrong so far! He's made Jimmy so happy, and because of him, we also know about Jimmy's fondness for good wine. Even if Yang Jie can't accompany Jimmy well today, when they return to the county, won't they be able to find someone who can keep him company and make him happy?"

  So Yang Jie's contribution, the county must be treated correctly, otherwise who will dare to take the lead for the county's work in the future? Who will still believe us leaders? No reward for merit, punishment for fault!" When Zhou Dalong heard Zhang Dasan say this, he burst out with an astonishing aura, his eyes staring at Zhang Dasan like a hawk, the secretary's majesty emerged, and he sternly asked Zhang Dasan a series of questions.

  "County head, secretary said it's not bad, Yang Jie's organizational relationship has been transferred to the county, but so far his formal entry procedures have not been handled. To say that he can completely not work so hard, but for the county's business attraction project, he unhesitatingly stood up."

  "Not only did he shorten the time for inspection, allowing us to directly enter into project cooperation negotiations, but he also established a very good personal relationship with Mr. Jimmy, which has positive significance for our future project negotiations. Therefore, giving Yang Jie a certain reward after the fact is necessary." Lei Shuping was the deputy secretary in charge of economy and industry, and as a member of the county committee, his words carried weight, so Zhang Dashan couldn't ignore them.

  Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Dasan, who didn't look too good, and proactively intervened: "Secretary, County Magistrate, regarding Yang Jie's specific rewards, shouldn't we discuss it back in the county? After all, this isn't the right setting, let's not make a joke of ourselves in front of outsiders."

  Chen Yuan's words seemed to be helping Zhang Daxian out of a difficult situation, but in fact they completely conformed to Zhou Dalong's opinion, setting the tone for this discussion. Upon hearing this, Zhou Dalong smiled slightly and ignored Zhang Daxian, whose face had turned iron-gray, shifting his gaze to Yang Jie, who was drinking with Jimmy.

  He downed three large bowls in a row, and even Jimmy, who was known for his incredible drinking capacity, was panting slightly. Looking at Yang Jie, who still seemed as calm as ever, Jimmy's eyes sparkled with excitement as he laughed and said: "Jie! I didn't know you were a master drinker from the land of wine! If I had known you could drink like this, I would have looked for you to drink with me as soon as I arrived in Xunhe County!"

  Yang Jie smiled and said, "It's not too late now! Jimmy, is this wine still good?"

  "Not bad! The wine from your father's winery is not inferior to some of the famous wines I've had, it's just that the packaging is a bit worse. If you could change the packaging, the grade would be greatly improved. When I have the chance, I'll definitely go visit your father's winery." Jimmy took a short rest before opening another bottle of Jiuhe grain liquor, saying as he poured wine into the sea bowl.

  "Alright! Then I formally invite you to visit my father's winery and hope that you can provide valuable advice for the development of the winery!" Yang Jie said, picking up the wine cup on the table, nodding at Jimmy before taking a sip.

  Jimmy heard Yang Jie say this, a happy smile spread across his face, "I accept your invitation!"

  "Leave the project to you and Jamison, after we get back to the county, I'll go with Jie to the winery to take a look, hoping to help Jie's father." Jimmy said to Yang Jie before turning his head to instruct Loren.

  Luoren smiled and nodded, saying: "Chairman, why not ask the group's designers to design a new packaging for Jie's father's winery, create a new white wine brand? If we can improve the brewing formula and make the taste better, it won't be difficult to export. You're interested, you can invest and buy shares."

  Jimmy listened to Loren's suggestion, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Loren's proposal is not bad, after visiting Jeff's father's winery, I will consider it."

  At this time, Jimmy didn't know that while he was chatting with Lauren, Yang Jie was chatting with Xiao Wu.

  Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said to Yang Jie, "Brother Jie, I have many wine brewing formulas here! And there are many of them, which not only enhance human biological energy but also have the effect of functional liquor. Drinking functional liquor is very beneficial for the body, do you want to try making some?"

  Yang Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, Xiao Wu was a smart light brain from the future, and the formula she gave out was absolutely not ordinary. According to Yang Jie's understanding, bio-energy referred to the energy needed to sustain human life, so wine that could enhance bio-energy must be beneficial to the human body.

  "No way, when the time comes and the wine is poured out, no matter how much I drink, it will all be absorbed by you, and I won't get any benefit at all!" Yang Jie's eyes rolled over, looking at Xiao Wu's confident expression, and he couldn't help but think of teasing her.

  As expected, as soon as Yang Jie finished speaking, Xiao Wu's smiling face suddenly froze, looking at Yang Jie with a serious expression, Xiao Wu said suspiciously: "Do you really think so? The more biological energy in the human body, the better it is for one's physical constitution. When the biological energy accumulates to a certain amount, it will bring about a qualitative leap in the human body."

  "Besides, in this day and age, there aren't many good functional wines. If your father's winery could produce functional wine, it would definitely make a fortune! You chose to take the path of politics, but without a solid economic foundation behind you, who knows what mistakes you might make in the future? I'm only thinking of what's best for you!"

  "No matter how good you put it, in the end, the biological energy I absorb is still being drained by you, and it doesn't bring me any benefits! Even if I earn a lot of money, I still can't buy back my health!" Yang Jie said with feigned dissatisfaction to Xiao Wu.

  "Ah! Brother Jie, you're my host and we share a common interest. If you do well, I'll do well too, of course I hope you do well! Just trust me! As long as the functional wine can be brewed, after making money, there will be an economic foundation to produce the simplest energy liquid. At that time, the system's required energy can be fully supplied by the energy liquid, no need to extract biological energy from your body anymore."

  "Really?"

  "Of course!"

  "Alright! I'll trust you this once!" After getting Xiao Wu's affirmative answer, Yang Jie was finally satisfied. Looking at Jimmy in front of him who had raised his wine cup again, Yang Jie fearlessly picked up his own cup and clinked it with Jimmy's before smiling and downing the baijiu in one gulp.
