"County Magistrate Jiang, please do as you please."
Chen Fang responded.
Jiang Tuo then stood up and said to Director of the People's Congress Guo Ruiliang, who was toasting at the time, "Old Guo, keep Secretary Chen company for a bit."
At this point, Guo Ruiliang was already slightly inebriated.
His face was flushed, his head swayed to and fro, and his tongue seemed to be swelling up.
He slapped his chest and said, "It's fine, County Magistrate Jiang, you... you go on with your work, I'll keep Secretary Chen company."
Having said that, he sat down next to Chen Fang, right where Jiang Tuo had just been.
Ma Shizhen, who had been standing by, immediately came over to pour Guo Ruiliang some wine.
It wasn't clear whether Guo Ruiliang's hand was shaking on purpose.
Or Ma Shizhen was distracted elsewhere.
By accident.
The wine in the glass was over-poured.
And splashed all over Guo Ruiliang.
"Ay, what are you doing? Are those two eyeballs just for show?"
