After returning home, although he was a little disappointed at his mother-in-law's house, Cao Jianjun was still very excited about the second-class merit he had just received. He couldn't sit still and said to Zhou Hui: "I have nothing to do at home. I'll go to the institute."

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes at him: "Workaholic, remember to come back early!"

"Yes!" Cao Jianjun responded readily, went downstairs, walked around on the street, and called a few buddies with whom he was usually close to have a drink together to celebrate. After thinking about it, his colleagues couldn't be left behind. This was a scene.

Problem, I had to stand up and drive to the police station again.

At this time, it happened to be off-duty time, and there were not many people in the police station. There were only a few police officers and auxiliary police officers on duty in the office area. Cao Jianjun walked in with a smile: "Everyone is busy? Is it time to eat?"

Someone looked up: "Jianjun, why are you back again?"

Cao Jianjun smiled and said: "Let's go, don't go to the canteen, I'll treat everyone to a meal."

Everyone was laughing and joking with him: "What's up? I've made a great contribution. Can I treat you to a treat?"

"Jianjun, that's awesome! Second-class merit."

Some people also shouted: "Jianjun, what are you going to eat? A big meal? Where to eat?"

Cao Jianjun also smiled cheerfully and said: "Where you want to go, you have the final say."

Someone said: "Another day, another day, not now, I'm on duty."

At this time, everyone suddenly remembered the director's instructions, and it was also duty time. They suddenly woke up and refused: "Next time, next time, remember first, we are still on duty."

Cao Jianjun said: "Let's not go far and eat nearby, okay? It won't waste much time."

But no matter how he called, no one responded.

Cao Jianjun was disappointed and a little unhappy. He glanced at everyone and said, "What's wrong? Just have a meal to celebrate and not give me this little face? Do you think I, Cao Jianjun, don't deserve it or something?"

As soon as he said this, everyone didn't know how to answer the question, and they were a little embarrassed to get off the stage.

"Jianjun, don't you mean that? You are indeed on duty and you can't leave. Is this a rule or something set by the director? It's not like you don't know."

"Some other day, if we have time another day, we will invite you and make a special trip to congratulate you. Okay?"

Only then did Cao Jianjun feel a little happy: "Okay. As we agreed, we will have a good gathering some other time."

Everyone responded one after another. Cao Jianjun now regained his dignity, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. After working in the police station for so many years, even after receiving second-class meritorious service, no one came to entertain him. How could he not feel uncomfortable?

After being depressed for a while, Cao Jianjun thought of Li Mu, who also achieved second-class merit this time. I don’t know if he celebrated it or not. The police in the station were not invited. As the leader of the station, Li Mu, if he could invite Li Mu over, it would be considered as his own.

I gained momentum and gained a reputation in front of that group of friends.

However, having just experienced being rejected by everyone, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. What should I do if Li Mu also rejected me?

I thought about it, and thought about the bragging I just boasted in front of my friends. None of my colleagues in the institute were there, and there was no leader of the institute to pressure the situation. Where could I put my face? Wouldn’t it make my friends feel that I was not doing well in the institute?

Finally, Cao Jianjun made the call.

"Hey, Li Suo! I'm busy."

Li Mu said: "No, I am reading a book at home. Is there something wrong, Lao Cao?"

Cao Jianjun said: "Li Suo, it's like this. This time we achieved second-class merit at the same time, which is rare. I plan to invite a few friends to celebrate. Li Suo, why don't you come too?"

As if he was afraid of Li Mu's rejection, he then said: "Don't worry, Suo Li, there are no outsiders, they are just a few friends. It won't take long, let's just celebrate."

Li Mu pondered for a moment: "Okay, please, Lao Cao, please send me the address. I'll be here soon!"

Cao Jianjun said happily: "Okay, Li Suo, I will go and book a place to wait for you first!"

Li Mu hung up the phone, put down the book in his hand, and took a sip of tea. He planned to relax at home, and he had no interest in eating to celebrate.

However, Li Mu knew that if he didn't stop him this time, Cao Jianjun would get into serious trouble, such as driving drunk, getting into an accident, and escaping. Not only would the police not be able to do anything about it, but he would also have to go to jail.

Although I know that Cao Jianjun usually likes to take credit, he is a person who shines brightly when given a little sunshine, and will go to the house to build a house if he is not careful.

However, these shortcomings cannot negate his merits and contributions and end up in jail.

Therefore, this trip must be made. It is enough to teach him a lesson, but there is no need to take off the police uniform and serve jail time.

Here, Cao Jianjun drove out of the police station. He thought that since his colleagues in the station were not going to go and the reserved location could not be empty, he would invite a few more friends. He picked up his mobile phone and called while walking: "Old Liu, the business is not

Are there any younger siblings watching? Come quickly, Lao Li and Lao Cao are waiting, it’s just you."

…

After making several calls in a row, Cao Jianjun suddenly thought of his apprentice Yang Shu. Yang Shu also had a share of the credit for this meritorious service. In addition, since Li Mu was invited, it would not look good if no one in the institute came, so he had better call Yang Shu too.

Bar.

Thinking of this, he called Yang Shu again.

Yang Shu was practicing with dumbbells in one hand at home, reading a book in the other hand, and listening to music.

The phone rang and he answered the call: "Master, is something wrong? What? Where is it? Is this okay? The director told me not to make it public."

"Li Suo is going too, okay, I'll be there right away. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Shu went into the house to change clothes and left, then took a taxi and hurried over.

When Yang Shu rushed to the place, Li Mu had just arrived. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Li Suo, you are here too."

Li Mu said: "Old Cao has expressed his thoughts, come and have a look."

Then he warned Yang Shu: "You also know your master's character. It's not good to be drunk! As a disciple, you can persuade him a little and don't let him drink so much."

Yang Shu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Li Suo, I will advise my master not to let him drink so much."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Yeah! Come on, let's go in!"

With that said, the two of them walked in.

This is a large private room with a large table. It can fit a dozen people in a circle, and there are already seven or eight people here. Seeing Li Mu coming, Cao Jianjun's eyes lit up and he immediately came over.

"Li Suo, you are here..."

Li Mu was very considerate and said: "Old Cao, you have called me, can I not come?"

Cao Jianjun was very happy and quickly asked Li Mu to take the place of honor that had been prepared long ago.

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Old Cao, why are you being polite to me? We are having a private banquet today, regardless of your position. As the head of the family, Yang Shu and I can sit here."

Cao Jianjun said: "Li Suo, where can I go?"

The two shied away for a while, and finally, with Li Mu's firm attitude, Cao Jianjun happily took the throne.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the banquet officially began. Everyone was changing glasses, and it was very lively.

As a landlord, Cao Jianjun would not refuse anyone who came to drink. He soon became a little drunk and began to let himself go.

"You say, what do men want to do with their lives? Money? Power? What's the meaning? Isn't it just to make achievements and be respected by others?"

"I, Cao Jianjun..."

…

Yang Shu saw that Cao Jianjun was getting more and more outrageous and drinking one cup after another. He realized that he really couldn't let the master drink too much. He quickly came to Cao Jianjun's side and whispered: "Master, don't drink. Have you forgotten? The institute has repeatedly told you not to do so.

drink wine."

Cao Jianjun waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense. It was during working hours. It's already off work. You still want to control me. I can drink if I want. Who are you bothering?"

Yang Shu struggled: "But the director said at the meeting that the tasks in the institute are too heavy, so it's best not to drink after work."

Cao Jianjun snorted: "He said it was the best, not a ban! He didn't say that you are not allowed to drink it after get off work. Your master is very happy today. You must drink this wine."

Then he called to everyone: "Come, sit down. Everyone has their fill. Drink, you must be happy today."

"Li Suo, let me toast you again."

Li Mu said: "Old Cao, I know you are happy today, but don't drink too much. My sister-in-law is still waiting at home!"

Cao Jianjun said: "Okay, okay, Li Suo, I know. It's just that it's rare for so many friends to get together. If you're happy, just drink some more."

Li Mu smiled noncommittally, knowing that Cao Jianjun was already drunk and might not listen to what he said at this time, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense.

After another round of changing cups, Cao Jianjun suddenly hugged Yang Shu and said, "Everyone, let me introduce you all. This is my apprentice Yang Shu, a Ph.D. from Peking University. He is knowledgeable."

After showing off his apprenticeship, he started bragging again: "According to my experience, it is actually boring to be a scholar. It is better to go to the front line and be an ordinary policeman. We don't worry too much, we just work. What we do is beneficial to the people.

When people praise us for doing something good, what else in life can be better than this? You think so?"

Yang Shu nodded quickly.

"Master, you are right, we drank a lot today, please stop drinking."

As Yang Shu said this, he went to grab the wine glass from Cao Jianjun's hand. Cao Jianjun didn't know what he thought of, his expression changed, he glared at him and said: "

Take care of me? You take care of me too? Yang Shu, tell me the truth, do you look down on me? No one wants to come to my treat."

Yang Shu quickly said: "Master, you are my master, no one dares to look down on you. You have drunk too much, please stop drinking."

As he spoke, he went to grab his wine glass again.

Although Cao Jianjun was unwilling, he was already a little dizzy, and the wine glass was snatched away by Yang Shu. Unexpectedly, he grabbed another beer bottle, bit off the bottle cap with his teeth, and poured it into a glass with liquor.

Yang Shu advised him to take it again: "Master, don't drink it mixed with it, you will get drunk easily."

Everyone also tried to persuade him, but Cao Jianjun became more and more enthusiastic.

"No, I'm happy today and I have to drink all the fun."
