Chapter 403 A momentary change in mentality
Late at night, the welcome event of the Publicity Department ended. Staff cleaned up the venue again, and placed a dining table and a hearty food self-pickup area.
The third young master and others took the old cat to the second floor, picked a relatively quiet table and sat down, and then started a noisy social event. Because many people found that the third young master and the others were sitting here, they all came out to toast. But these people were all old fried dough sticks, some drank less wine, and some just took a sip of wine, so they didn't feel drunk until the end of the drink, and were all very sober.
Only the old cat was miserable. After a while, he had to drink at least eight taels of white wine and some red wine. So in the end, his condition was almost the same as if it was about to be broken, with his eyes blurred and his head buzzing.
Wu Di crossed his legs and looked at the old cat with a smile and said, "No one has to toast you, you have to drink it, you have to learn to refuse."
The old cat waved his hand and shook his head and responded: "I... I am different from you. If others respect me, I have to respect him."
After hearing this, the third young master smiled: "This is also a kind of philosophy of being a human being, it's quite good."
Wu Di glanced at the old cat and said nothing more.
"Brother, I've finished drinking, do you have any ideas?" The third young master approached the old cat and asked softly.
"What, do you have any arrangements tonight?" the old cat bared his teeth and asked eagerly.
"Arranging is not a big deal, I'm not talking about this."
"What is that?"
"I mean, do you feel something while sitting here?" the third young master asked in a tactful manner.
"I just feel tired." The old cat responded with his head holding his head and breathing heavily.
The third young master inserted his hand and pondered for a while and asked, "Are you guessing that Uncle Li is tired?"
When the old cat heard this, he was stunned.
"He went from the grassroots level to joining the police, becoming the captain, and then to the director, and finally sat in the position of chief congressman of Jiangnan District... Do you think about how many occasions he had to experience and how much more wine he had to drink than you?" the third young master asked with a smile on his face.
The old cat was stunned for a while and suddenly twisted his stiff neck and looked downstairs.
He saw that some middle-aged people had passed forty and fifty, but they were still tired and wandered in the middle of all kinds of people.
He saw some people who were drunk and unconscious, sitting in a corner, lowering their heads and dazed.
He also saw those who sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman, who went to the toilet to vomit after drinking.
Yes, these people all look like Lao Li, and it seems that everyone has his shadow.
The third young master stared at the old cat and continued in a hoarse voice: "All your privileges and willfulness in the Superintendent are made by Uncle Li in such an occasion... But have you ever thought about it? Who can help him? For your Superintendent, Uncle Li may be the god of heaven and the most striking figure sitting on the first chair, but in such an occasion, he may bend down to many people."
The old cat is silent.
"You can help Uncle Li." The third young master sighed.
"What can I help him? How do I help?" Lao Mao asked in confusion.
"If you do well in the police, have a position, have a say, and have a circle of play in your own way, then you may be able to help him at any time." The third young master responded easily.
The old cat is silent.
"Do you think I made a living in Songjiang by relying on family connections?" The third young master suddenly asked.
The old cat may have drunk too much, or maybe he didn't think much about it, so he nodded to the third son and asked, "Didn't you rely on your home?"
"Do you know who sponsored this field trip activity?" the third young master asked with a smile.
"Isn't it..." The old cat hesitated for a moment, and looked at everyone with a little surprised look.
"Yes, it's just a few of us sponsored it." The third young master nodded and pointed to the group of people downstairs and said, "At least half of the people who came here today were not for my father and elders, but for me and these friends around me."
The old cat was stunned.
"Let me tell you again, not only do I seldom ask my family to do things now, but my dad even has to solve some problems with me." The third young master interrupted his hand, his tone was plain, and his expression looked like he was bragging or nonsense.
When the old cat heard this, he seemed to understand the other party’s meaning.
"I just want to tell you that it is not easy for Uncle Li to get involved in the system." The third young master whispered, drinking a cold drink, "His position is neither high nor low, neither up nor down, which is a very uncomfortable time. Sometimes you have to compromise, and sometimes you have to choose your position... or even if you are not careful, you may even be crushed to pieces. Isn't that Wu Wensheng a living example?"
When the old cat heard this, he frowned and grabbed the wine bottle, lowered his head and poured himself another glass.
"It's useless to have more contact with outsiders and always hold your own small circle." The third young master patted the old cat's shoulder and said in a short sentence: "If you think more and work harder, you can help Uncle Li a little more."
"Well." Laomao was indeed moved by the third young master, because he rarely thought about how Lao Li was doing outside and how to manage his connections, and only enjoyed the convenience brought to him by Lao Li for free.
Today, after Laomao attended this party, he also had a personal experience. Indeed, there were at least a dozen people in this room who were about the same level as Lao Li, and their way of running around for life was also filled with infinite sadness.
"Okay, I've talked a little too much today, come and have a drink." The third young master greeted.
"Drink!" The old cat nodded and agreed.
I don’t know how long I had been drinking, but the old cat lay on the table and was completely broken. He was drooling and snoring.
Wu Di ate the fruit, turned his head and looked at the old cat and said, "Can you help him arrange it tonight?"
"No need, there are two days left, so don't worry." The third young master waved his hand and whispered: "Let's find two people and send him a private room later."
"Hey, to be honest, sometimes I'm anxious when I hear you." Wu Di curled his lips and replied a little anxiously: "You have laid so much preparation just now, why don't you talk about the topic in the end?! Tell him directly that medicine is very important to Lao Li. If he can carry this stall by himself, it will really help Lao Li."
"You don't understand, he is resistant to me." The third young master shook his head and replied, "You can't worry too much about anything. We want to take him into the circle and play together in the future... then we have to have a heart-to-heart talk first."
"Haha, you've almost become a god in one day." Wu Di replied with a smile, then waved his hand and shouted, "You go and call two service guys to come over and send them back to the old cat."
...
Early in the morning.
