Chapter 7 Section VII

The Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau or the provincial TV station has very close business ties with Beijing. Almost every day, people "go to Beijing". , unless it is to accompany the leader or has an important interview task.I am not free when I accompany the leader or have a major interview task. I want to get in touch with some of my personal relationships. Time and money are limited. This time, he went to Beijing with Wang Yudan, and things went smoothly. In addition, he will start a company in the future, and he may not know when he will use his connections in Beijing. Ouyang Tong wants to take this opportunity to meet his classmates and friends in Beijing.

It takes money to make connections in Beijing. Ouyang Tong's little money is not enough for activities in Beijing. This is also an important reason why he doesn't move around in Beijing much.This time he went to Beijing with Wang Yudan, and he planned to make good use of Wang Yudan's power, so after sending away the people from the General Administration of Sports, he discussed with Wang Yudan.He asked Wang Yudan, what is your next step?Wang Yudan said, I may stay for a few more days and do a few things, how about you?When I go back, I will ask someone to check in for you.Ouyang Tong said that some of his old classmates were in Beijing and wanted to meet them.Wang Yudan asked, do you need me to arrange it for you?The reason why Ouyang Tong said this was that he hoped that she would help him arrange it, but he couldn't say it directly, but turned a corner and said, in fact, there are a few people who are worth meeting.Wang Yudan, as a famous entrepreneur and a representative of the National People's Congress, has many connections in Beijing, and his identities are also very special.She didn't believe that Ouyang Tong had any special relationship, so she said, if you meet with your classmates, I won't participate.

Ouyang Tong said, I have a classmate who is the secretary of a certain office.How to meet him, you arrange it for me. After hearing this, Wang Yudan widened his eyes and said, you mean Wu Meng? Ouyang Tong said, yes, you know him? Wang Yudan shook his head.The reason why she knew Wu Meng was because she went to Beijing with Qiu Ping last time.At that time, Qiu Ping wanted to use Wu Meng's relationship to find the General Administration of Sports, but Wu Meng didn't have time.Wang Yudan only thought that Wu Meng was related to Qiu Ping, because Wu Meng had never met Qiu Ping, so she thought that it was just a relationship established by Qiu Ping at work, and in fact there was no deep friendship.Now after listening to Ouyang Tongyi, I know the source of this line.

Wu Meng's position is not the highest among Ouyang Tong's classmates, but his status is the most prominent.His work unit is the office of a certain central head.A leader of a certain level has a huge team of secretaries around him. In name, these teams are directly led by the Central Secretariat, but because they serve a certain leader, people are used to calling it a certain office, which is equivalent to the secretariat in the Kuomintang period. valet room.This special office is often divided into many departments, such as the security group, the secretarial group, and the living group.There are three secretaries in the real sense, one is the person in charge of the security team, one is the person in charge of the secretarial group, and the other is the life secretary of the chief. Together with the full-time driver, they constitute the most important staff around the chief. The four-member core member.

This kind of structure has been formed in ancient times. For example, in "Kangxi Weifu Private Visits", when Emperor Kangxi went on tour, there were always three people by his side, Ji Xiaolan, Fayin, and San Dezi.Here, Ji Xiaolan is Kangxi's civilian secretary, San Dezi is Kangxi's life secretary, and Fayin is Kangxi's security guard.In modern times, the troika has an additional driver, which is a full-time driver.Among the four people, secretaries and security guards are the highest at the administrative level, and those in charge of secretarial affairs are at least at the deputy department level, and may also be at the deputy ministerial level.The guards have changed a lot. For example, when the head of state visits abroad, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security or the general is often the guard next to him.The positions of life secretary and driver are much lower.However, the life secretary and the driver are closest to the chief's private life and have a deeper personal relationship with the chief, so they have a closer personal relationship with the chief.On the contrary, secretaries and security guards have a more working relationship with the chief.Wu Meng is the life secretary of the chief.

Wang Yudan really wants to fight for the next mayor of Yongzhou. With Wu Meng's relationship, as long as he is willing to say hello to Jiangnan Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Deliang, the matter will definitely be done.So, when he heard that Wu Meng was Ouyang Tong's old classmate, Wang Yudan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, you can make an appointment, and I will arrange other things, whether it is at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse or other places, it depends on his convenience. A person of Wu Meng's status naturally wants to keep a low profile and refuse to show off in a place like the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. He chose the location, a private restaurant outside the Fourth Ring Road, at noon the next day.

Ouyang Tong put down the phone, and Wang Yudan called the office, ordering them to immediately book the best private room in that private restaurant, order the best dishes, and tell her the menu when they are ready.Next, Wang Yudan asked Ouyang Tong, why don't you take advantage of such a good relationship?Ouyang Tong was a little puzzled, and said, how to use it?Wang Yudan said, for a vice-director, you ran around in Jiangnan Province like a chicken without a head, obviously doing useless work.If Wu Meng had come forward, the matter would have been resolved long ago.Ouyang Tong said, it's fine if it's for others, but as long as it's my own business, I can't say that.Wang Yudan said, saying that you have low EQ, do you need to speak up about this kind of thing?Ouyang Tong said, if you don't open your mouth, how will people know what I'm going to do?

Wang Yudan nodded Ouyang Tong's head and said, I really wish I could pry open your place and see what's growing inside.Think about it, Wu Meng is the chief secret of the head of the central government, how many people want to know him but have nowhere to get in?Not to mention that Ding Yingping wanted to have a personal relationship with him, even Zhao Deliang also wanted to have a personal relationship with him.You just need to find an opportunity to tell Ding Yingping that you and Wu Meng are classmates. I can guarantee that Ding Yingping will try his best to bring you to Beijing to meet Wu Meng.As long as they meet, you don't need to say anything, and you don't need Wu Meng to hint, Ding Yingping will settle your matter.Ouyang Tong still didn't believe it, and said, it's that simple?Wang Yudan said, do you think officialdom is complicated?I'm telling you, sometimes, things are as simple as that.

Ouyang Tong thought about it for a while, and felt that what Wang Yudan said made sense. After all, she belonged to the official series and was much more familiar with officialdom than herself.He said, how about I call Minister Ding now and ask him to come over tomorrow?Wang Yudan said, you, saying that you have low EQ, is still overestimating you, you have no EQ at all.This kind of thing was done too deliberately, and it screwed up instead.You can call Ding Yingping and ask him where he is. If he happens to be in Beijing, please mention him by the way.If not, don't mention it. Ouyang Tong immediately dialed Dong Shaoxian's cell phone.In order to tell Dong Shaoxian that he was in Beijing, he deliberately used the landline in the room.As soon as he opened his mouth, Dong Shaoxian recognized that it was Ouyang Tong, and said, you pig, the stink in Yongzhou is not enough, you still want to go to Beijing?Ouyang Tong said, are you also in Beijing, so you smell bad?Dong Shao first said, I am not so lucky, I am in Yongzhou.Come on, what's the matter?Ouyang Tong said, forget it in Yongzhou.I originally thought that if you were in Beijing, I would introduce a friend to you.Dong Shao first said, your rubbish, other than pigs or pigs, I don't want to be polluted.Ouyang Tong said, this is a special friend, like you, a big secret, but not an ordinary big secret.It's the secret of a certain office.

After saying this, Dong Shaoxian was silent for a while, he was obviously thinking about this message, and extracted all other information related to this message from the memory bank.Ouyang Tong could imagine how Dong Shaoxian's brain was connected at this moment.He didn't need to digest the information of the secretary of a certain office, but quickly searched his mind for the important personnel of a certain office he knew, and then identified a person who graduated from the Department of Journalism of Fudan University.Dong Shao first said, Wu Meng?He is your classmate?Ouyang Tong said, we are bunk beds.Dong Shao first said, have you made an appointment with him?when?Ouyang Tong said, tomorrow at noon.Dong Shao first said, don't turn off the phone, I will contact you later.Then hung up the phone.

Ouyang Tong hung up the phone, and Wang Yudan said, it seems that your EQ is not bad.Why is there a short circuit sometimes?Ouyang Tong didn't fully understand what she said, and said, why do you say that?Wang Yudan said, if my estimation is correct, Ding Yingping will fly to Beijing tonight.And, your business is done.Ouyang Tong didn't believe it, and said, really?So simple?Wang Yudan said, I thought you were an expert when I heard you calling Secretary Dong just now, but after hearing what you said, I thought you were an idiot.Are you really an idiot or a genius?Ouyang Tong still didn't understand.Wang Yudan explained to him that Ding Yingping must have thought about making friends with the chief, but he had no way to do so.She can be sure that Ding Yingping must have tried Wu Meng's idea, but it also failed. Dong Shaoxian is very clear about this matter.If Ouyang Tong told Ding Yingping about this relationship directly, the matter would be too direct, but he turned a corner and said that he wanted to introduce Wu Meng to let Dong Shao know first, which was tantamount to passing the news to Ding Yingping indirectly.At this time, Dong Shaoxian must have told Ding Yingping the news.And Ding Yingping happened to want to make friends with Wu Meng, so he would naturally drop everything in his hands and rush to Beijing to attend the meeting. Ouyang Tong suddenly realized that some things in the world can indeed be extremely simple. Sure enough, Dong Shaoxian's call came quickly.Dong Shao first told him that the boss is coming to Beijing tonight and we will have dinner together in the evening.Ouyang Tong said, I live in the Great Wall Hotel, do you want to arrange a room for you and the chief?Dong Shaoxian naturally knew that Ouyang Tong did not have financial power in his hands, and it was impossible for him to arrange the room. Someone must arrange it, so he asked, who are you with?Ouyang Tong did not tell lies in front of real people, and told him that Wang Yudan and I came to talk about Lin Fei being the image spokesperson for Jiangnan Tobacco.Dong Shaoxian immediately became vigilant and asked, how is the matter going?Want the boss to come forward?Ouyang Tong said, no need, the matter has been negotiated.Dong Shao said first, we will notify you when we arrive. Ouyang Tong felt that Dong Shao didn't want Wang Yudan to arrange it first, so he asked Wang Yudan, is there any festival between you?Wang Yudan said that there are no holidays, this is politics.Ouyang Tong still didn't understand, and said, what politics?Wang Yudan told him that the current political ecology of Jiangnan Province is mainly composed of two forces, one is foreign forces headed by Zhao Deliang, and the other is local forces headed by Governor Chen Yunda.Although Ding Yingping was a local official, Zhao Deliang promoted him to be the Minister of Propaganda, so he was naturally tainted by foreign forces.The reason why Wang Yudan became the chairman and general manager of Jiangnan Tobacco is the strength of Wang Caixin, chairman of the CPPCC, and Wang Caixin and Chen Yunda can be regarded as brothers in difficulty.In addition, Chen Yunda is the governor of the province and presides over government work, so the company is naturally under his control, and the person in charge of the company naturally has a local color. After hearing this, Ouyang Tong was shocked and asked her, did I mess things up? Wang Yudan said, you have learned the lesson twice.In the future, we must pay attention to, unless we are absolutely sure, otherwise, two things and two irrelevant people cannot be brought together.Many times, a thing that could have been done, but because you didn't think carefully about an extremely small detail, the thing went wrong.This is called losing the big because of the small. Ouyang Tong was in a hurry and said, what should I do then?Is there a way to remedy this? Wang Yudan said, if it was just what I analyzed superficially, there is definitely no way to remedy this matter.Not only is it impossible to remedy, but also because you are too close to his political opponent camp, you will never have a chance in the future.However, today's matter may just be because the Secretary of the Board is more sensitive. He only became a secretary after Ding Yingping became a minister. He didn't know Ding Yingping's connections when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, so he simply divided the camps.Ding Yingping and I have a good personal relationship. We were good friends when he was the mayor. After speaking, Wang Yudan picked up the phone and sent a text message to Ding Yingping.Soon, Ding Yingping's phone call came in. Wang Yudan was not polite, and cut straight to the point, saying, Minister Yingping, when will you arrive in Beijing?I pick you up at the airport.Ding Yingping said, okay, you should contact Shao first. Wang Yudan was right, the relationship between her and Ding Yingping was indeed very close.Ouyang Tong couldn't help thinking to himself, how close is the relationship between them?Will there be an affair in secret?Wang Yudan put down the phone and said to him, you call Dong Shao first now, and I will arrange the room.With that said, Wang Yudan got up and left.Ouyang Tong knew that Wang Yudan had gone to the next door to call to arrange a room, and thought to himself, why did he avoid him when he arranged the room?Could it be that she wants to change the room for herself and arrange it with Ding Yingping?Before going out, Wang Yudan told him that Ding Yingping and the others might arrive late, and they had nothing to do right now, so they could take a rest first. Ouyang Tong's guess was wrong, Wang Yudan didn't change rooms, and he didn't know how Wang Yudan arranged rooms for Ding Yingping and Dong Shaoxian.Due to air tickets, Ding Yingping arrived in Beijing after seven o'clock.Wang Yudan was very thoughtful. The dinner was arranged not far from the exit of the airport expressway. She drove the car herself and picked up Ding Yingping with Ouyang Tong. The relevant staff of the office had already arranged the dinner.At the dinner table, Wang Yudan asked Ding Yingping if he would arrange some activities for the evening.Ding Yingping said, let the young people go to activities, I, an old man, forget it.After dinner, Wang Yudan's people took Dong Shaoxian and Ouyang Tong to the event. Wang Yudan drove Ding Yingping back to the hotel himself.Ouyang Tong thought to himself, this is probably an arrangement, Wang Yudan wishes to be alone with Ding Yingping.Singing with Dong Shaoxian at night, Ouyang Tong took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, called Wang Yudan, found that her mobile phone was off, and called her room again, but no one answered at all.Ouyang Tong further confirmed that Wang Yudan must be with Ding Yingping, and there was a sour feeling in his heart. In case Wang Yudan's mobile phone was not turned off or in the room, he had already thought about what to say to her.He originally thought that Ding Yingping would definitely ask him about his relationship with Wu Meng.However, from meeting to parting, Director Ding never mentioned Wu Meng, and neither did Dong Shaoxian. This incident made him feel a little weird.Since Wang Yudan's phone was not connected, his doubts were always in his heart. Until the end of the event, the people from Jiangnan Tobacco sent the two of them back to the Great Wall Hotel. Dong Shaoxian was not in a hurry to go back to his room, but stayed in Ouyang Tong's room and talked about topics related to Wumeng. Dong Shao first said, you have such a classmate, why haven't I heard you talk about it long ago?Ouyang Tong said, I have a lot of classmates. When I was in college, there were seventy-two classmates in my class, known as seventy-two sages. Besides these, there were more than one hundred students in the previous and next class. There are more classmates in other departments, and some of them have a good relationship with me.Dong Shao first said, here we go again, don't talk to me about your seventy-two sages.My ears can hear the squeak.You just said, how is your relationship with Wu Meng?Ouyang Tong said that when he was in college, there was a huge age gap between the classmates in his class. The age difference between him and Wu Meng was smaller. Wu Meng was only six years older than him, and they shared bunk beds, so they had a good relationship.Ouyang Tong's family conditions are not good, but Wu Meng is a high-ranking family. Financially, Wu Meng has given him a lot of support.When he graduated, Wu Meng went to Beijing. He really wanted his father to come forward and assign Ouyang Tong to Beijing, but Ouyang Tong felt that it would be difficult for him to take care of his family when he went to Beijing, so he insisted on returning to his hometown. Dong Shao first knew that Ouyang Tong could play, but he didn't quite believe him, and said, since you have such a good relationship, why haven't you heard it from you for so many years?Ouyang Tong said that the main reason is that Wu Meng's work unit is quite special, unlike other people who can often go on business trips, Wu Meng almost stays there all the time.He himself didn't have much chance to go to Beijing. Occasionally he had the opportunity to go to Beijing, and Wu Meng didn't have time. After graduation, the two met only five or six times. The longest time together was Wu Meng's marriage, and Ouyang Tong invited him for seven days. Fake, help him make arrangements. At this point, Dong Shaoxian stopped asking.They actually took seven days off from Jiangnan Province to Beijing to organize the wedding for Wu Meng, which shows that the relationship between the two is really extraordinary.Dong Shao first said, you, you, do you know what is the most important resource in China?Seeing that Ouyang Tong didn't answer, he said again that it was a network resource.You have such good network resources, why don't you take advantage of them?If it were a different person who exchanged resources, a gold mine would have already been created, but you still let such a good resource fall asleep. Ouyang Tong said, you also know that I was born as a farmer.A farmer is blind, even if it is a gem, he will think it is a stone.You are an expert in treasure appraisal, but you refuse to help me improve my treasure appraisal ability. As long as I call you, I always scold people.Dong Shao first said, what's wrong with me scolding you?Others want to ask for scolding, but I still don't give it.Ouyang Tong said, okay, okay, in the future, you have to scold more. Nothing happened the next morning, Ding Yingping, Dong Shaoxian and Ouyang Tong were fighting landlords in Dong Shaoxian's room.Ding Yingping is a very good leader. He has only one problem. He likes to gamble, such as mahjong, picking cards, running fast, fighting landlords, and fighting golden flowers. He is omnipotent and omnipotent.But his poker skills are stinky, and his poker style is even more stinky. He smiles when he wins, and loses his temper when he loses.Dong Shaoxian naturally knows how to take care of the boss's emotions, and Ouyang Tong also knows this very well, always making mistakes at critical moments, which makes Ding Yingping smile.Wang Yudan sat behind Ding Yingping and gave him some advice from time to time. Ouyang Tong said, it's no wonder that Secretary Dong and I always lose. It turns out that Guanyin is sitting behind the chief.Dong Shaoxian also took the opportunity to say that Mr. Wang is sitting behind the boss, but the boss' luck is different.It seems that Mr. Wang will often sit behind the boss in the future. Ding Yingping had almost won, so he looked at his watch.Both Ouyang Tong and Ding Yingping knew that the time was almost up, it was time to end the poker game, tidy themselves up, and then go to the appointment.But just after Ding Yingping said it was over, Ouyang Tong's cell phone rang.Ouyang Tong took out his mobile phone, glanced at the number, and immediately said that it was Wu Meng.Several people suddenly fell silent.Ouyang Tong began to answer the phone.Wu Meng suddenly had an important reception task and couldn't make the appointment today, so he called to let him know.Ouyang Tong was disappointed for a while, and wanted to persuade Wu Meng to change his mind, even if he came for 20 minutes, he repeatedly expressed regret on the phone.It was Dong Shaoxian who was clever. He knew that people with Wu Meng's identity often couldn't help themselves. Any agreement could be changed at any time. He didn't force it, but quickly took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote a few words. Pass it to Ouyang Tong. Ouyang Tong glanced at the note that Dong Shaoxian handed over, and saw that there were words such as home address and souvenirs written on it.Ouyang Tong immediately understood, changed his tone, and said, forget it if you are busy, you can give me my sister-in-law's phone number, and I will go and see my sister-in-law and my nephew. My sister-in-law is a workaholic like you, so bad luck in eight lifetimes Yes, I will comfort her.Wu Meng said that he didn't have time to chat, so he asked Ouyang Tong to call his wife directly and gave him the phone number.He reported, Ouyang Tong repeated, and Dong Shaoxian immediately took notes.After hanging up the phone, Dong Shaoxian immediately handed him the number.Ouyang Tong dialed quickly. Wu Meng's wife, Liu Shuowen, works in an organization under the National Development and Reform Commission, and usually has few opportunities to socialize.At the beginning, when she married Wu Meng, Ouyang Tong took a week off to help her, which left a deep impression on her.Later, every New Year's Eve, Ouyang Tong would call them to pay New Year's greetings. After chatting with Wu Meng on the phone, Ouyang Tong would chat with Liu Shuowen.Later, with the popularization of mobile phones, Wu Meng's job became more important, and he spent little time at home. Gradually, Ouyang Tong no longer remembered his home phone number, and naturally he had less contact with Liu Shuowen. Hearing that Ouyang Tong was in Beijing, Liu Shuowen was very happy and decided to invite Ouyang Tong to dinner.Ouyang Tong said, okay, I will pay for your treat.Liu Shuowen said, when you come to Beijing, of course your sister-in-law invited you, how can you pay for it?Tell me, when do you have time?What to eat?Ouyang Tong said, of course, you don't need to worry about these things as a sister-in-law. You just tell me where to pick you up. Ouyang Tong's task was to take Liu Shuowen over. Naturally, it was inconvenient for Ding Yingping and Wang Yudan to appear at the beginning, so they went to the restaurant first.Ouyang Tong was not familiar with the road conditions in Beijing, so Wang Yudan specially arranged a driver for him.When they arrived at the restaurant, both Ding Yingping and Wang Yudan stood up to greet them.Liu Shuowen is only a cadre at the deputy division level, while Ding Yingping is at the deputy ministerial level, and Wang Yudan is at the departmental level, but in front of Liu Shuowen, the two are extremely respectful.Ouyang Tong led Liu Shuowen, introduced her one by one, and said, sister-in-law, let me introduce you, these are my chiefs.This is Minister Ding Yingping, Minister of Propaganda of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Wang Yudan, Chairman of the Jiangnan Tobacco Group, a representative of the National People's Congress, and a famous entrepreneur, and Comrade Dong Shaoxian, Minister Ding's chief secretary. Liu Shuowen is very good at talking, she told Ding Yingping, Ouyang Tong is my younger brother, Minister Ding is my younger brother's head, that is, my head.Thank you, chief, for nurturing my brother.When shaking hands with Wang Yudan, she said, we are both women, so I won't call you a job. You are older than me, so I will call you sister, okay?Wang Yudan said, having a sister like you is my blessing.Liu Shuowen said, sister, you are too polite, I saw you on TV, and I thought, wow, you are so beautiful and elegant.Sister, you really make me envious. Although Wu Meng was not present, but Liu Shuowen was present, everyone enjoyed the meal. After the meal, Wang Yudan's car was still used to send Liu Shuowen off. Everyone bid farewell to Liu Shuowen, and Ouyang Tong sat in the car with her.After the car started, the driver asked Ouyang Tong where he was going. Liu Shuowen was about to speak, but Ouyang Tong said, sister-in-law, where do you live?Let's go home first.Liu Shuowen didn't fully understand, and asked: Why?I'm going to work soon, I'm afraid I don't have enough time.Ouyang Tong said, I brought some souvenirs. It is inconvenient for these things to be kept in your unit, so it is better to have them delivered to your home. Liu Shuowen said, Ouyang, you really came here as soon as you came, what souvenirs do you bring? Ouyang Tong said, it's rare for me to come here once, how can I be empty-handed?I'm so sorry sister-in-law. Liu Shuowen didn't show too much politeness, and directly gave her home address.Although it is a local product, Ouyang Tong doesn't know what it is. It was prepared by Wang Yudan and Ding Yingping, and it has already been sealed in two cardboard boxes. Ouyang Tong and the driver each moved it.Ouyang Tong reckoned that these two boxes must be worth a lot, otherwise, Wang Yudan and Ding Yingping wouldn't be able to sell them.Ouyang Tong originally thought that if Wu Meng or Liu Shuowen would give him a call, they should at least be polite on the surface.In fact, Wu Meng did call him, but he just said that he was too busy to see him, and asked him if there was anything he needed to help in Beijing.At the same time, he did not forget to ask Ouyang Tong to tell Minister Ding and President Wang that Liu Shuowen praised them both very much, and repeatedly asked him to thank them for their hospitality.He even emphasized that she recognized Wang Yudan as a sister, and when she came to Beijing in the future, she must not forget her sister.When he received the call, Ouyang Tong had already returned to Yongzhou. Even if something happened, he would not speak up. He just said that he wanted to meet for a while, and there was nothing special about it. That night, Ding Yingping and Dong Shaoxian flew back to Yongzhou. Wang Yudan and Ouyang Tong had other things to do, so they stayed for a few more days.
