(Thanks to Oriental Invincible Han for his monthly vote!)
Half an hour later, the leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts who had been invited to the banquet arrived belatedly. There were five guests in total. After introduction, four of them were from the leadership team of the Academy, and one was the Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of the Admissions Office.
This lineup can be said to be very sincere. Even Minister Sun Zhaohui, who has always been picky, nodded with satisfaction and enthusiastically moved their longevity director to the master's seat.
In Kanazawa Tao's view, instead of having the temperament of a famous Chinese painter, Dean Shou looks a bit wretched. His messy hair is not the elegant type of current artists, but has strands stuck together, which is purely the result of slovenliness.
Dean Shou wasn't polite either, or he didn't know how to be polite at all. As soon as Minister Sun gave in, he sat down.
Minister Sun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately put away his strange expression, found an empty seat two seats away and sat down.
When it comes to his academic future, Sun Yawen also changed his usual calm demeanor and took the initiative to pour tea and say hello to the leaders of the academy. In addition, he has a classical appearance and a very literary temperament, which attracted the attention of the leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Jin Zetao didn't like to see Sun Yawen very much from the bottom of his heart, but he was disgusted by the fact that others coveted Sun Yawen.
Jin Zetao and Sun Yawen were sitting at the bottom of the table. As juniors, they did not speak and listened quietly to the conversation between Minister Sun and Dean Shou.
Dean Shou didn¡¯t mention Sun Yawen or ask about Minister Sun¡¯s work, but he talked about the scenery of Tongyuan Hotel: ¡°This place is nice, both elegant and vulgar, and both the architectural design and landscape planning are very ingenious. Very knowledgeable."
Minister Sun echoed: "Dean Shou has a unique vision and the location of the hotel is precise. The decoration is exquisite, the furnishings are exquisite, low-key but not out of style, gorgeous but not flashy. It is indeed the ultimate hotel."
Minister Sun was most disgusted with the parallelism style advocated by Minister Ge Suping, but unknowingly, he began to speak with the accent of Minister Su.
Dean Shou deeply agreed: "The last time I went to Beijing, I was lucky enough to enter the Jingcheng Tongyuan Hotel. The style is completely different from the Xizhou store, but they both interpret what Minister Sun said is gorgeous but not gorgeous. This It¡¯s an artistic hotel.¡±
Jin Zetao breathed a sigh of relief. Dean Shou seemed independent, but he still knew how to advance and retreat when speaking. Sun Yawen's matter should be able to help.
Minister Sun also gradually relaxed: "Tongyuan Hotel has many branches in Yuehai, and I have been there a few times. Their slogan is that every store has a scene. Some people even joked that every time they go, you don't have to go there. To see the scenery, you have to go to Tongyuan Hotel and see Tongyuan. Even if you didn¡¯t come to this place in vain.¡±
The two of them were singing praises for Tongyuan Hotel, but Kanazawa Tao felt that the atmosphere was strange. He didn't go to the hotel to socialize, and instead of talking about serious business, he praised the hotel happily.
The waiter served the food. Dean Shou shifted the focus of the conversation to the dishes again. I really couldn¡¯t tell. In addition to being an artist, Dean Shou is also a gourmet. He has countless famous dishes and various snacks from all over the sea at his fingertips.
Although Minister Sun has eaten all over the world, he is not very particular about food, let alone research. It is even more difficult for him to explain the details. He can only be patient and listen to Dean Shou's boastful talk.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dean Shou still kept talking. Minister Sun mentioned his daughter's words several times, but Dean Shou or several other people always moved him to other topics.
Jin Zetao winked at Sun Yawen. Sun Yawen quickly picked up the wine bottle to toast to Dean Shou and the others. Dean Shou quickly waved his hand and said: "Xiao Sun, you haven't enrolled in school yet, so you can't drink. We won't pay attention to this false etiquette." Come on, sit down, sit down."
Dean Shou declined Sun Yawen's toast. The implication was that it was okay to eat but not to talk about business matters. If someone invites you to dinner but you don't let them talk about business matters, that's nothing.
Seeing this, Kanazawa Tao could not understand that at first glance, Dean Shou was unkempt, sloppy, and talked nonsense. He seemed to be unsophisticated, but after careful consideration, it was clear that he was an old man in officialdom who was not familiar with the world.
Kanazawa stood up with a smile and said: "Dean Shou, I am a rough man. I have no knowledge of literature and art. I know nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this does not affect my admiration for all the sages of the Academy of Fine Arts. Dean Shou is delicious, and so am I." Eat, people who eat well often drink well. I wonder if I have the honor to offer a glass of wine to the president on his birthday."
The daughter of the Sun family toasted, and she was suspected of using it to make trouble. Kanze Tao took the initiative to propose a toast to Dean Shou, and he was sincere. He was nothing more than an arty officialdom. Dean Shou and the others often encountered such toasting scenes at dinner parties.
Dean Shou smiled slightly: "I don't dare to be a wise man. I just drank a few glasses of wine. I wonder how the young man drinks?"
Dean Shou didn¡¯t bother to ask Kanazawa Tao¡¯s name. After gossiping, let¡¯s spell it out again.After a few rounds of wine, the dinner party in the evening was enough.
Jin Zetao patted his chest and said: "Today you are guests, guests do as they please. As long as the guests enjoy themselves, they can drink in any way they want. I will not let you down."
A female deputy secretary sitting next to Dean Shou chuckled and said: "Young man, you are talking too much. There are five of us here, and even two fists can't beat four legs. We can't talk too much. Or You have to do what you can.¡±
Kanazawa didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words, and still yelled: "One or two are guests, three or five are also guests. When friends come, they have good wine. Dean Shou, let's start with you?"
Dean Shou is a naughty man, but has a high heart. He said: "Young man is very heroic. We are engaged in art creation and have no barriers. How can we write about these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?"
Dean Shou was secretly angry when he was so stimulated by Kanazawa Tao, who seemed to be ignorant and vulgar.
Sun¡¯s mother tugged at Sun Zhaohui¡¯s lapel worriedly, fearing that Jin Zetao would interfere in this way and ruin her daughter¡¯s good deeds.
Sun Zhaohui was angry. Dean Shou seemed to be sincere and sent the Academy's strongest team to the banquet, but his behavior just now clearly meant that he was just going through the motions. As for his daughter, he didn't even mention it.
Inviting Dean Shou and his entourage to the banquet was not because of Minister Sun's face, but because of the personal influence of Minister Ge Suping.
Although Minister Ge Suping suppressed Sun Zhaohui in her official career, she had one advantage: she cared deeply about the lives of cadres. She never left behind what she should have cared about for a mortal enemy like Sun Zhaohui.
While holding the big stick high, watching you come forward, knocking a few times, and giving you a few carrots from time to time, this is a woman who knows how to advance and retreat, knows choices, and leaves room for things. Sun Zhaohui hates her in his heart, but he can't help but admire her. wrist.
Although Sun Zhaohui has always disdained her cheap concern, when it comes to his daughter's future, he still accepted Minister Su's kindness with his eyes closed.
"Dean Shou and his party may have learned that Minister Sun and Minister Ge were not on good terms, so they dared to be so perfunctory. Sun Zhaohui had something to ask for, and it was really hard to get angry on the spot.
He glared at his grandson. She has long hair but short knowledge. What does a woman know? Kanazawa's move can break the deadlock.
Kanazawa waved his hand and said to the waiter: "Ten bottles of Hama Ebi-yaki first!"
??Hang Hai Lao Shao is a 55-proof high-altitude liquor. Ten bottles are not much for so many people to share and drink. Dean Shou has no objection.
Ten bottles of wine were lined up in a row. When the waiter opened them all at once, Dean Shou ate and said, "It won't be just the two of us, right?"
Kanazawa gritted his teeth and said, "Don't the toasts start from Dean Shou's house? If you can't drink it down, keep going. If you drink it down, it's your turn to drink. Isn't that how you toast?"
Dean Shou straightened his messy hair and smiled angrily: "Young man, you are really rude. We don't bully others. As long as you can drink me down, I will admit that you are a capable young man."
Kanze Tao was no longer anxious, and said with a smile: "Dean Shou, after all, I am one for five. I bully you alone. If you win, you will not be a hero. If you win, you will not be a hero."
Dean Shou was furious: "You are so damn big fart in Spring and Autumn Period, but you still can't win, so why don't you bully me?"
No matter how slippery Dean Shou is, he is still a man of culture. Faced with the contempt of an official like Tao Kanazawa, a man of culture will naturally have a temper.
"Dean Shou, you have lost your composure. You are a cultured person and I am a rough one. I don't even say swear words. How can you say swear words? This is inconsistent with your status." Kanazawa said tepidly, in his heart But I thought it would be easier to handle if I was angry.
Dean Shou¡¯s face turned red due to Kanze Tao¡¯s retort, but Kanze Tao ignored him and waved the waiter to serve the bowl.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Two bowls of sea, which Kanazawa specially confessed.
Haiwan can pour two kilograms of wine. Kanze Tao opened his bow from left to right, and when two bottles of white wine were poured down, the bowl was just full to the brim.
Jin Zetao steadily picked up the wine bowl and said, "Dean Shou, although you are not a very good person, you are a guest today and you must have the proper etiquette. I will do it first as a courtesy."
Jin Zetao is not angry with him now, but has to do something. Naturally, he cannot offend him to death.
?Bang Hai Lao Shao is sweet in the mouth, dry in the mouth, slightly bitter, and has a long staying power. Most people only dare to drink it in small sips and drink two kilograms of liquor in one go. Then they have to be addicted to alcohol and consume a lot of it to dare to drink it.
Dean Shou was about to say something sarcastic, but then his eyes widened and he was stunned. His mouth opened wide and he could not close it for a long time.
Kanazawa picked up the wine bowl and drank like a whale drinking from a cow. His throat was not visible.It squirmed, and the clear and white old soju slowly faded away.
Then the bottom of the big bowl gradually turned to the sky, and only the sound of gurgling water could be heard. Finally, Kanazawa clicked his tongue twice, and he slammed the bowl upside down on the table. He poured all the two kilograms of old soju into his stomach in one breath. .
You could hear a needle drop in the private room, and you could only hear the sound of someone taking a breath of cold air. Kanazawa ignored everyone's surprise and continued to pour the two opened bottles of old soju into another bowl.
According to the rules, it¡¯s Dean Shou¡¯s turn to drink next.
Dean Shou instinctively wanted to refuse, but he couldn't save his face for a while. It was not that he couldn't drink two kilograms of it if he had a fever, but if he drank it all in one go, it would really kill him.
