Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

When Liu Ming held up the one-pound wine dispenser and pointed it directly at Li Yuankui, the air in the entire private room seemed to have been sucked out.

Everyone's movements froze at this moment.

Is this kid...crazy?

What is he doing?

He's trying to force the emperor to abdicate!

In front of city leaders, he forced the county party secretary to drink alcohol!

This isn't just being stubborn; it's playing with fire and getting burned!

Deputy Director Zhang of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, who was already quite drunk, was somewhat sobered up by this astonishing scene. He looked at Liu Ming with shock in his eyes.

The local officials from Qingyun County who had been drunk under Liu Ming's influence were ashen-faced. They sensed that an unprecedented political storm was about to erupt at their dinner table.

Li Yuankui's face was so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

He stared intently at Liu Ming, his eyes filled with a desire to devour him alive.

He was the county party secretary, the local tyrant of Qingyun County, and when had he ever been provoked like this in public?

But he just couldn't let it out!

Why?

Because Liu Ming put it so beautifully!

"Now that everyone has toasted me, it's my turn to toast you."

Is there anything wrong with what you said?

No!

It is only natural for juniors to respect their elders and for subordinates to respect their superiors.

"This toast is for you, bottoms up!"

Is there anything wrong with what you said?

No, not at all!

He drank first as a sign of respect. As the leader, how could you not drink?

If you don't drink, it means you're looking down on me as your subordinate, that you're not giving face to the city leaders, and that you, as the host, lack class.

This is a conspiracy.

A cunning scheme that puts Li Yuankui in a difficult position, leaving him with no way out!

"Gulp... gulp..."

Under everyone's gaze, Liu Ming tilted his head back and drank the full glass of high-proof liquor in one gulp, as if it were cold water.

One pound!

Let's finish it in one go!

After finishing his drink, he turned the decanter upside down, leaving not a single drop.

Then, he looked at Li Yuankui, still wearing that harmless smile: "Secretary Li, I'll drink it, you can do as you please."

Do as you please...

These three words sounded even more grating to Li Yuankui's ears than the most vicious curses.

If he only drinks a small cup, he, as the county party secretary, will have completely lost face today.

But if he were to drink a whole pound of it...

He glanced at the four empty Wuliangye bottles on the table.

This kid downed four jin (2 catties) of liquor by himself! And now he's acting like nothing happened! His alcohol tolerance is bottomless!

If I were to fight him head-on, I would definitely be the one who falls in the end!

Just as Li Yuankui was caught in a dilemma, his loyal henchman, Jia Zhengzhi, stepped forward.

"Xiao Liu! How dare you speak to the Party Secretary like that?" Jia Zhengzhi, his nose red and his face flushed, scolded him. "What kind of status does the Party Secretary have? Does he think he can drink with you like this? The Party Secretary's health is for the service of hundreds of thousands of people in the county! How can he let you act so recklessly?"

After saying that, he turned to Li Yuankui with a fawning expression and said, "Secretary, your health is the most important thing. I'll drink this glass of wine for you!"

Diao Deliang quickly followed suit; it was time to prove his loyalty!

"Yes, yes, yes! Secretary, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Drinking with such a hothead is beneath your dignity! We can handle it!"

The two men worked together, flattering the leader while trying to cover up the matter.

However, Liu Ming smiled.

He looked at Jia Zhengzhi and Diao Deliang and said slowly, "What are you two saying? I'm toasting the Party Secretary out of respect for him. If you take my place, then is this toast for the Party Secretary or for you?"

"Besides," Liu Ming's gaze swept over the two men's noticeably overweight figures and unsteady gait, "I just heard Old Fan say that drinking is actually a way to maintain health. He said that if Director Jia and Section Chief Diao drink every day for decades, they can be immune to all diseases and live to ninety-nine."

"I'm a young man in good health, so a little drink won't hurt me. But you two leaders are older, and you must have a lot of underlying health conditions, right? It would be best if you drank less, because if something serious happened to you and it affected your work, that would be a major loss for Qingyun County."

These words sounded like expressions of concern, but every single one was like a needle, piercing deeply into the hearts of Jia Zhengzhi and Diao Deliang!

What does it mean to "get old"?

What does it mean to have "many underlying medical conditions"?

Isn't this a roundabout way of calling them good-for-nothings, old, weak, sick, and disabled?

The most insidious thing is that Liu Ming even brought up Old Ghost Fan!

If they insist on drinking for others now, it would be tantamount to admitting that they are "old and in poor health" and can't even compete with a young person!

In officialdom, what is most important?

face!

Especially in front of city leaders, this kind of face is more important than anything else!

"Who...who said I'm old?" Jia Zhengzhi was so enraged that he slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Liu Ming, and roared, "Let me tell you, when I was drinking, you were still wearing open-crotch pants! It's just a pound, I'll drink it!"

"Exactly!" Diao Deliang retorted, not to be outdone. "I...I'll drink too! Who's afraid of who!"

To prove they were "okay" and to show their loyalty to Li Yuankui, the two men gritted their teeth and each poured themselves a pound of baijiu.

Then, amidst the sympathetic gazes of the crowd, he tragically poured it down.

result……

"vomit--!"

Jia Zhengzhi had only drunk half of his drink when he could no longer hold on. He turned around abruptly, and a mouthful of filth, like a fountain, sprayed directly onto a member of the city's inspection team behind him.

"Wow--!"

Diao Deliang fared even worse. He had just finished drinking and hadn't even had time to put down his cup when his eyes rolled back and he fell straight backward with a "plop" under the table, unconscious.

The entire private room was instantly turned into a mess.

The sounds of vomiting, screams, and clattering of tables and chairs created complete chaos.

The leaders of the city's inspection team all had ashen faces, covered their noses with handkerchiefs, and looked utterly disgusted.

Li Yuankui's face had turned completely black.

He felt that he had lost all face for the rest of his life today.

Amidst the chaos, the door to the private room was quietly pushed open a crack.

Xi Wanqing's cold and stunningly beautiful face appeared behind the crack in the door.

She had heard that an inspection team from the city had come, and as the deputy county head in charge of investment promotion, she wanted to come over, offer a toast, and get to know the leaders.

But as soon as she reached the door, she saw the chaotic scene inside, which resembled a farce and could be described as an "exposé of officialdom."

Then, she saw the figure standing in the center of the chaos, yet still calm and composed, as if detached from the situation.

—Liu Ming.

He looked at everything before him, his eyes showing no trace of pride, only a deep, unfathomable calm.

While everyone else was making a fool of themselves because of alcohol and power, he stood like a pine tree in the storm, terrifyingly clear-headed.

Xi Wanqing's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

This man...

What exactly is their background?

Was he really just an ordinary demobilized cadre?

……

The drinking party naturally ended unhappily.

When Liu Ming walked out of the hotel, she deliberately pretended to be unsteady on her feet and completely drunk. She even leaned against the wall and gagged twice.

He knew that countless eyes were watching him in the shadows.

He wanted everyone to think that he had reached his limit and that he was just a reckless man with a high alcohol tolerance.

However, after he turned into an alley without surveillance cameras...

His previously hazy eyes instantly became clear as lightning, without a trace of drunkenness.

He straightened his back and walked steadily; there was no trace of drunkenness in him.

He looked at the moon in the sky, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Li Yuankui...

The game has only just begun.
