Chapter 493: Show Your Abilities

untryside Construction" project in Tianhuang Town, worried that once they lend money to the town, there will be a big question mark over when it can be recovered. 。It's almost the beginning of the mo...Originally, Liu Yongshi's suggestion was to replace the rounds of drinking with a game of rock-paper-scissors. 。At least 19 leaders were willing to accompany the drinking, which is more than the total number of people in Jiangzhong (17). If each person toasted three times, that would be a lot of cups! The first three leaders finished their drinks, so wouldn't the other leaders also toast

Therefore, Zhang Wei thought it was feasible and reported it to the team leader Lu Zai Xing. 。Lu Zai Xing also felt that drinking like this was not a solution, but would he have a chance of winning against them in a game of rock-paper-scissors So, Lu Zai Xing asked Zhang Wei if playing rock-paper-scissors with them would lead to drinking even more. At this time, Liu Yong swore that he had a bit of confidence. 。Lu looked at Zhang Wei and Liu Yong again, and agreed. He then put forward this suggestion to Ning Gan's deputy secretary, Sun Ming. 。Sun Ming immediately agreed when he heard this. 。The culture of rock-paper-scissors is quite popular in Ninggan, mainly among the general public. However, even within formal institutions, if people drink too much, they might pull out their fists, shout "the rock-paper-scissors command," and engage in a showdown, pushing the atmosphere at the drinking party to a climax. 。Sun Ming, deputy secretary of Gannan province, said that since the Jiangzhong leadership is willing to "go with the flow," Gannan will definitely give a thumbs-up. 。It is obvious that Gan Ning's subordinates were more mature and experienced in the art of guessing fist with Ning Gan. 。Sun Ming said again, "Minister Lu, since we decided to use rock-paper-scissors to welcome the leaders from Jiangzhong, I have a suggestion. We need to set some game rules." 。I need to discuss this with Minister Lu. 。Lu Zhixing smiled and said, "Secretary Sun, you're too kind. Please go ahead." 。Sun Mingqian said, "Can we come up with a 'Three Nines Principle'" Everyone was a little puzzled. What did the 'Three Nines Principle' mean Their eyes turned to Sun Mingqian, wondering what profound meaning lay behind this 'Three Nines Principle'

Minister Lu asked calmly, "What is this 'Three Nines Principle' Please tell us about it, Secretary Sun." 。Sun Ming smiled before continuing, “The ‘Three Nines Principle’ I mentioned…” 。"Three" refers to "three-three is fixed," meaning that all members of the losing side must drink "three cups" at once. 。‘Nine’ refers to ‘nine is revered’. We guessed nine times with our fists. 。We'll refrain from making any more guesses, after all, with all of you leaders having traveled a long way to Ninggan, you must be tired. We hope everyone can enjoy the wine and get a good night's sleep. 。"Minister Lu, do you think this 'Three Nines Principle' of mine works"

Fang Ya said to Xiao Zheng beside him, "Drink three cups at a time, nine times in total, three nines is twenty-seven bowls! If one side loses completely, then everyone has to drink twenty-seven bowls of wine! Do you think we all have to drink twenty-seven cups"

Xiao Zheng said: "It's hard to say" >>> 。Fang Ya leaned slightly towards him and said, "I can't drink that much, I wouldn't let myself." 。So, you have to help me guess the hand game to beat them, or you have to buy me a drink. 。"Director Fang, this is my first time in Ninggan. I've seen people play this game of rock-paper-scissors in the countryside before, but I only have a basic understanding. I'm probably no match for these Ninggan masters." 。"Fang Ya smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “I have confidence in you.” 。Fang Ya's hands were soft and tender, patting on the shoulder made one feel numb. 。Others were all focused on the main table and didn't see Fang Ya gently pat Xiao Zheng's shoulder, but Ma Kai did. 。Ma Kai was so envious. He wished he were sitting beside Director Fang. 。But then he suddenly remembered that time at the launch event, when Xiao Zheng was recommended by Minister Fang. 。Could it be that Fang Chang and Xiao Zheng have a special relationship If that's really the case, then I definitely wouldn't be able to get involved. 。Ma Kai's eyes shifted and he caught sight of Wang Lan, deputy director of the Ninggan reception office. 。Wang Lan seemed to have noticed it too, and she glanced at Ma Kai with a sweet smile. 。Ma Kai's heart skipped a beat. 。This Wang Lan is really quite charming, she's beautiful, a good singer, and seems to have a lot of stories. It piques Ma Kai's curiosity greatly. 。Ma Kai just smiled back. 。。After all, we are not familiar with the rules of Ninggan's rock-paper-scissors game. 。Ke Sun Shu's 'Three Nines Principle' is summarized so well, I can't bear to change it. 。We should still stick to the principle of "adapting to local customs," and follow the "three nines principle." 。That is to say, as long as we guess nine times, each time the losing side drinks three cups, either party can choose who guesses rock-paper-scissors, right

Sun Ming said in front: “Either party can choose whoever they want, it can be one person or nine people” 。"Well then, let's begin," said Lu Zhi. 。Sun Ming said: "Let's begin" 。Lu Zhi walked over to Zhang Wei, the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, and said: "Director Zhang, you arrange for the personnel." 。“Over there, Ninggan Provincial Committee Deputy Secretary Sun Ming also told the Director of Reception Office Cao Guangdao: “Director Cao, you arrange personnel too.” 。We can't drink all the alcohol ourselves; we need to let the leaders from Jiangzhong enjoy it. 。The meaning here is very clear: it's better to win than not. 。Cao Guang said: "Yes" 。"Zhang Wei gave Liu Yong a solemn nod and said: 'Go find out who among us is best at rock-paper-scissors. Recommend someone to me.'" 。"Liu Yong swore to take the task, saying: "I'll go ask at the next table first>>> 。"Zhang Weiye thought that playing rock-paper-scissors was a bit undignified and should only be resorted to in dire straits. He shouldn't disturb the higher-ups, so he said: 'Alright, let's have the next table go first.'" 。Liu Yong swore he ran to the next table, confidently saying: “The leader said we need to send one player to participate in the rock-paper-scissors game.” 。Who here is the best Raise your hand to volunteer. 。"Don't miss this opportunity to shine in front of the leaders!" The statement sounded condescending, as if it were bestowing a favor rather than an opportunity, leaving everyone feeling uncomfortable. 。In fact, apart from Xiao Zheng who is a local from the county, everyone else at this table are officials at the department level from provincial institutions. At this level, everyone knows big leaders, right Their own units have directors equivalent to vice-ministers, and they also get to attend meetings chaired by deputy ministers or even ministers every year. 。So, is it really necessary to strive for this kind of "performance opportunity" It's fine to politely try, but with an attitude like Liu Yong's, who looks down on others, they truly don't care. 。So, for a moment the cadres at the table were all silent. 。Liu Yongshi's single sentence was like throwing a stone into water, but it didn't make a ripple. This made Liu Yongshi very embarrassed. 。He was getting a little anxious: "Come on, everyone, hurry up and introduce yourselves. The leader is waiting." 。At this time, Cao Guang, the director of the Reception Office in Ninggan Province, also walked to the next table. He didn't ask anyone else, but pointedly said: "Director Wang, you come first" Wang Lan stood up and nodded, saying: "Okay" 。Then I'll go first. 。Ninggan's side has just made up their minds. 。Liu Yongshi was even more anxious. He was very unhappy that the people at the next table were not cooperating, so he decided to go up himself. 。"I can do it, Liu Zhuanren," Ma Kai said. 。Now whenever Ma Kai sees Wang Lan, his heart beats inexplicably. When he sees Wang Lan take the stage, he can't help but volunteer himself. 。Actually, Ma Kai hadn't really studied rock-paper-scissors. At this moment, it was purely instinct driving him, wanting to be able to communicate and spar more with Wang Lan. 。To be as sharp as a blade, polished like jade, that would be even better. 。But this game of rock-paper-scissors, he was totally forced into it. 。In Liu Yong's view, someone finally signed up. He was relieved to have saved some face, a little happy, and said: "Okay" 。We'll have Ma Kai participate first. 。"Liu Yongshi actually ran to Minister Lu's side and reported, Minister Lu smiled and said: "I have already seen..." 。Let's get started. 。“The receptionist, Cao Guang, said, 'Please sit at the tables in the middle, so everyone can see clearly.' ” 。Ma Kai and Wang Lan, following the leader's arrangement, came to the middle between the two round tables. 。

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!one to rely on and no longer pretends to be strong. 。When she was feeling down in front of Xiao Zheng, she would shed tears and cry. 。Xiao Zheng naturally wouldn't laugh at Xiao Jingyu's softness. Ins...
