Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

Although the cards were not played very well, Zhu Huaijing still played cautiously.Pei Danian said: "Director Zhu is as serious about playing cards as he is about doing things. He cares about everything I trouble him to the end." Fang Mingyuan jokingly echoed, "Huai Jing is a good comrade, a good comrade." But Zhu Huaijing immediately understood what Pei Danian meant, it was to remind him to remember what he said to Chen Yan.But at this time, Zhu Huaijing turned around and found that Chen Yan had left the living room at some point.He looked at a few other poker players, all looking at him and urging him to play.He played his cards calmly as if he hadn't noticed anything.

After a while, a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes came out and asked Pei Danian, "Is it time to eat?" Pei Danian raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall, then subconsciously looked towards the stairs, and said, "Wait a while." The gentleman nodded and said okay, just stood aside and looked at the cards.Zhu Huaijing suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.At this time, Pei Danian drew the cards and introduced: "This is Mr. Hao Chi, the manager of the restaurant department of Tianyuan Hotel." After speaking, he introduced everyone here.Everyone was drawing cards, and it was inconvenient to shake hands, so Mr. Hao raised his hand to say hello one by one.

Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Mr. Hao, do you still recognize me? You should forget about things. Not long ago, I was having dinner with Secretary Zhang of Wuxian County at your place. I found that there was something wrong with your Moutai. You changed it. You guys are Mongolian. Get it and cover it." Hearing this, everyone present felt embarrassed, but Hao Chi didn't look embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and said, "Director Zhu, I really don't know Taishan. Don't worry, when you go to Tianyuan from now on, as long as you treat me Let me tell you that this kind of thing will not happen. To be honest, it is not that we intend to sell fake wine, but people who dine there want to show off, for fear that the wine will be low-grade and lose their status. How can there be so many in the world? The real Moutai? How many big hotels are there in China? There is only one Moutai distillery in China!"

Fang Mingyuan joked: "You are selling fake wine and selling theory instead." Pei Danian smoothed things over and said: "Anyway, we don't rely on a few of us to crack down on counterfeiting in China, as long as our friends don't drink counterfeit wine when they go. I can guarantee this. Manager Hao is a good friend. I said that today I have a distinguished guest, so I ask him to bring some Someone came to help, and he came without saying a word." Hao Chi said with a smile: "It just so happens that I'm off today too, so I brought a few chefs here." People from Tianyuan Hotel, Pei Danian was always on call, and Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but secretly admire this person's supernatural powers.I can't remember playing many rounds of cards, but I still don't see Mayor Pi and Chen Yan coming downstairs.I don't know how much time it is now.No one is embarrassed to raise their wrists to look at their watches, even the clock on the wall is inconvenient to look at.Zhu Huaijing felt his stomach gurgling.

"Who won?" Suddenly Chen Yan appeared at the poker table. Everyone was talking vaguely.In fact, just now when Chen Yan came down from the stairs, they all saw him, but they only pretended to be sullen.At this moment Chen Yan shouted, and everyone just saw her.Zhu Huaijing slipped a glance at Chen Yan pretending to be casual, and saw that her face was flushed, her hair was newly combed, the mousse was still wet, and the comb marks were neat.Seeing Chen Yan like this, he thought to himself that he would have to be hungry for a while before he could eat lunch.Mayor Pi will definitely take a break before going downstairs.

After a while, Mayor Pi came downstairs with a red face.Everyone hurriedly put down their cards and stood up. "Is Mayor Pi resting well?" Pei Danian asked. "Good! Have fun?" Mayor Pi came over and asked everyone to sit down.Zhu Huaijing glanced at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was already half past three in the afternoon. At this time, Hao Chi came over and invited everyone to the restaurant for dinner.Pei Danian hurriedly stood up, made a gesture of invitation to Mayor Pi, and said, "Mayor Pi, have a light meal." The dining room is covered with a scarlet carpet, and the floor-to-ceiling curtains are a bit romantic.The dining table and chairs are made of dark red carved mahogany, and a natural marble disc is inlaid in the middle of the dining table.Pei Danian first asked Mayor Pi to sit down, then motioned Chen Yan to sit on the right side of Mayor Pi, and then invited others to sit down.Everyone took their seats, and Pei Danian himself sat on Mayor Pi's left.Several cold dishes have already been placed on the table, including duck feet, beef in sauce, vegetarian ham, pickled mustard, capers and so on.Pei Danian asked Mayor Pi what kind of wine he drank, and Mayor Pi said that he drank wine, and everyone got what they needed.So everyone said to drink wine.Pei Danian said that drinking wine is good, and by the way, he also said a few disadvantages of drinking baijiu.Pei Danian got up by himself and took two bottles of Remy Martin.

Before the hot dishes were served, a bowl of radish rib soup was served first.The lady first scooped up a bowl for Mayor Pi, then scooped up a bowl for Chen Yan, and then scooped up one by one.Mayor Pi took a sip, and even said that the soup is good, why can't he taste this taste on weekdays?Pei Danian said that there are only radishes and vegetables in the village, and Mayor Pi is very happy if he doesn't dislike me.Zhu Huaijing also felt that this soup was really delicious, and he couldn't eat this taste in big hotels on weekdays. After a while, the first course came, which was a bowl of stewed beef with wolfberry.Pei Danian asked Mayor Pi to use it first.Mayor Pi said everyone, come on, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a small piece, put it in his mouth, and nodded slightly.Pei Danian asked Chen Yan to use it again.Chen Yan picked it up politely, and Pei Danian waved his chopsticks in a clockwise circle, saying that everyone should use it.Everyone started to pinch it, and they all said it tasted good.Seeing this situation, Zhu Huaijing knew that everyone knew Chen Yan's position in their hearts.People in the officialdom are very sensitive to their position on any occasion, so Zhu Huaijing's heart is inevitably a little complicated.He glanced at Fang Mingyuan, and saw that Mingyuan was also looking at him.The two nodded as if nothing happened, saying that the taste was really good.

When Mayor Pi saw Hao Chi coming out with the lady who served the dishes, he stood aside and nodded and smiled, and invited him to take a seat.Hao Chi said some polite words and sat down. "Why can't you eat this kind of taste in Tianyuan on weekdays?" Mayor Pi asked. Hao Chi replied: "There are reasons for the choice of ingredients and craftsmanship. The chef who came with me has worked in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for many years. Today's dishes are all made according to the state banquet techniques. Let's say this stewed beef with wolfberry, the main ingredient It is pork belly from beef ribs with young vegetables, cut into small cubes, and then served with large pieces of adult beef rump meat and beef bones, put in wolfberries and stewed slowly over low heat. Goji berries are said to be large wolfberries from Gansu, which is hard to get here for a while. We had to use local goji berries, but they are also the best ones. After stewing, the adult beef and beef bones are picked out and only the young vegetable beef is left. The beef cooked in this way is crispy, soft and smooth, and the soup is clear and mellow."

Mayor Pi tasted another piece, and even said it was good. Seeing that Mayor Pi was happy, Hao Chi said, "The state banquet dishes are the most particular about the ingredients. Let's say that this radish must be sweet and crisp after the fall of frost." At this time When a plate of lettuce was served, Hao Chi hurriedly said, "Try this dish, mayor, you will like it. Rapeseed is the most common home-cooked dish, but it is particular about according to the requirements of the state banquet. When choosing ingredients, no more, no less. Choose a three-inch-long one with green leaves and thick flesh. When using it, remove the vegetable side, leaving only the tender heart of the three leaves, and sharpen the root. The authentic method has to be inserted with carrot sticks. I found that we all like to eat carrots There are not many people, so it is not allowed to do this.”

Mayor Pi picked up some fried rapeseed, and seeing that it was really delicious, he said that Xiao Hao knew a lot.Pei Danian heard that Mayor Pi praised Hao Chi, and felt that he had a lot of face.Hao Chi was even more flattered.Mayor Jianpi was very interested, and every time a dish was served, Hao Chi would introduce the selection of ingredients and methods according to the requirements of the state banquet.The bird's nest must be from Thailand, the shad must be from Zhenjiang, and if it is caught around the Dragon Boat Festival, the shark's fin must be from Hainan, the prawns and herring must be from Shandong, and the mutton must be from Zhangjiakou.Hao Chi talked too much, so he seemed a bit ostentatious.Besides, everyone can't always listen to him talking about the sea here.Mayor Pi was obviously a little impatient, he nodded and said yes a few times.You can listen to him as admiration for you, or you can listen to it as good, so don't say more.After all, Hao Chi had seen a lot of the world, understood Mayor Pi's meaning, stood up, and said, "Mayor Pi and all the leaders take it easy, I'll go inside and say hello."

Mayor Pi said again, and then said to Pei Danian: "Xiao Pei, today's food tastes really good, but it's too extravagant. We need to serve more side dishes. Now that there are so many big fish and meat, it's rather boring to eat." Pei Danian hurriedly shook his head and said: "Where is it, there is no food today, so I have neglected Mayor Pi and the leaders. I know that Mayor Pi is very frugal on weekdays, so I thought that today is not a public fund to eat and drink, so I just messed around a little bit." It has to be distinctive. You see, the mayor still criticized it. No wonder the common people made up a rhetoric saying that state cadres are just weird and hide in boxes to eat side dishes.” Mayor Pi laughed, and everyone laughed too, saying that Pei Danian was really humorous.After dinner, Pei Danian will stay for everyone to play, and Mayor Pi said next time.Mayor Pi shook hands with everyone one by one, and asked Pei Danian to call the chef inside, who also shook hands.After being polite, Mayor Pi waved his hand again, saying that Xiao Chen should go, and took Chen Yan out first.He still took the same car with Chen Yan, and Pei Danian sent Zhu Huaijing and Fang Mingyuan to him in his own car.Pei Danian got into the car, but looked at Mayor Pi's car, waiting for it to start.Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Boss Bei, our car has to go in front." Pei Danian blushed, shook his head and laughed at himself, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this person." So, Pei Danian's car drove ahead, and the two cars Slowly drove out of Pei's yard. Pei Danian was always polite along the way, saying that he was embarrassed today, that his family's conditions were limited, and he made a fool of himself.Next time, ask someone to prepare it earlier, make it more decent, and ask the leaders to show their respect.But Pei Danian's modesty always sounds like showing off.Zhu Huaijing and Fang Mingyuan had no choice but to say where, thank you, thank you very much.Pei Danian suddenly remembered that Zhu Huaijing had asked him to sponsor Li Mingxi, so he said, "Director Zhu, tell your friend to come and see me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'm going to class in a few days." "What class?" Zhu Huaijing asked. Pei Danian looked back at Zhu Fang and the two, and said with a smile, "I'm studying for an MBA. To adapt to the situation, you can't do without studying!" Zhu Fang and the two couldn't help but looked at each other. Although the two were calm, the meaning was understood.Unexpectedly, Boss Pei, who often confuses the pronunciation of English letters with Chinese pinyin, is also going to study for a master's degree in business administration.Zhu Huaijing looked very appreciative and said, "Well, Boss Bei, you are so busy and successful, and you are going to study for a master's degree. If I were you, I would die without studying. I said you don't need to study Yes. Mr. Zeng Xianzi can be regarded as your colleague. He didn’t go to study for a master’s degree, but once he became rich, his social status came, and his degree naturally came. American universities have to award him an honorary degree!” "Director Zhu, you are making fun of me! How dare I compare myself with Mr. Zeng?" Pei Danian shook his head excitedly. Fang Mingyuan said: "Boss Bei, don't be modest. If you continue to develop like this, there will be a day." After a few jokes, Zhu Huaijing returned to the topic and said, "I asked Mr. Li to find you tomorrow." At this time, Fang Mingyuan's cell phone rang. "Oh, okay." Fang Mingyuan took out his phone and listened for a while, then said.Zhu Huaijing vaguely heard someone talking about Building No. 6 on the phone, but he deliberately looked out the window, pretending to be absent-minded.In fact, he knew in his heart that the call just now must have been from the driver of the car behind, saying that Mayor Pi was going to Building No. 6 of Jingyuan.Of course it would not be right for Mayor Pi to take Chen Yan with him, and Fang Mingyuan had to go with him.Mayor Pi used to do activities in Building No. 8, but now it is Building No. 6.There is a house there, which used to be the place where the mayor often went to rest, but now it naturally belongs to the mayor.Zhu Huaijing has not been to that house yet, but he just heard that it is very mysterious.It is said that the design of the house is very peculiar. For those who are not familiar with it, you will not be able to find that house after you go to that building.You will get lost when you go in and out, and you will go back to that room after wandering around for a long time. Sure enough, when the car was approaching Jingyuan, Fang Mingyuan said: "Huai Jing, Mayor Pi told me to explain something in the past, so you go back to rest? Boss Bei, please send Director Zhu?" After finishing speaking, he asked Pei Danian to stop the car.Mayor Pi's car also stopped behind.Fang Mingyuan walked over, opened the front door, and got in. Pei Danian was very emotional, and said: "Oh, being a leader is really too busy. To be honest, no matter how busy we are, we are still making money for ourselves. Mayor Pi and the others are busy for the sake of the people!" Zhu Huaijing said: "It's because you people are highly enlightened and understand leadership. Some people just don't understand. They always think that anyone who is an official is a domineering person, and his buttocks are not clean. This... how about it, I have a friend I came from another place and stayed at the Longxing Hotel, so I have to go and have a look. You can take me to Longxing." "Okay. Well, it's not easy for you and Director Fang. You can't rest on days off, either work or entertainment, and you are friends." Pei Danian admired it very much. After a while, the car arrived at Longxing.Before Zhu Huaijing got off the car, Pei Danian said, "Sorry, I prepared a suit for each leader and put it in Mayor Pi's car." "Why are you so polite? Thank you." Zhu Huaijing reached out to shake Pei Danian's hand and was about to get out of the car.But I remembered the news shooting today, and said: "You watched today, I didn't have a chance to talk to Xiao Chen about it. But I don't think they will cut your shots. So, in case that Alright, next time I will ask Chen Yan to take a special interview with you." Pei Danian was overjoyed and said: "Of course it's good. Director Zhu, it's not that I like to show off, this is the best advertisement. We businessmen only have business in our eyes. Reporting me from a news perspective is much more effective than advertising!" Director Zhu, don’t call me vulgar, I’m telling the truth, as long as you think highly of me, say a few words for me in front of Mayor Pi, and help me plan things like filming interviews, I will naturally repay you. " "Where did you go?" Zhu Huaijing pretended to be angry. Pei Danian hurriedly handed over his hands to make amends, and said, "I'm sorry for the offense. I knew I would be criticized by you. Don't talk about money between friends, okay?" Zhu Huaijing got out of the car and watched Pei Danian drive away before turning around and going to Yuqin's room.I looked at my watch, it was past six o'clock.Yuqin didn't know that he would come tonight and hadn't come home yet.Zhu Huaijing didn't want to eat dinner any more, he was a little tired, so he washed his face, went to bed and fell asleep.After a while, he fell asleep. When Yuqin opened the door and came in, Zhu Huaijing woke up, but pretended to be asleep.He felt Yuqin walk into the room and sat down beside the bed.He knew that Yuqin was looking at him, and he couldn't help itching.Yuqin reached out and stroked his hair, and he pretended to be awakened, blinked his eyes, laughed excitedly, and said, "Are you back?" Yuqin leaned over and kissed him, and said, "You still know to come? I'm afraid you won't be able to find the door if you don't come again." Zhu Huaijing patted Yuqin on the back and said, "I'm busy. I went out with Mayor Pi early this morning, and I just came back. I came here straight away. What time is it?" "It's almost eight o'clock." Zhu Huaijing hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and said he was going to check the news in the city.Turn on the TV, Jingdu news has just started.The headline news is Mayor Pi's inspection of the Trapeze Garment Company.Mayor Pi was all smiles, and accompanied by Pei Danian, he visited the factory buildings and workshops.Zhu Huaijing saw himself and Fang Mingyuan passing by on the screen.The announcer reported that today was a day off, and Mayor Pi went to the private enterprise Flying Garment Company for investigation and research.Flying Man Garment Company adheres to the famous brand strategy. The Flying Man brand suit series and shirt series developed and produced by them are deeply loved by customers and sold overseas.Mayor Pi made a detailed investigation of the company's production process, product sales, economic benefits, and employee quality, and fully affirmed the company's practice of absorbing a large number of laid-off workers.In the middle, Mayor Pi's opinions on the resettlement of laid-off workers were played, but when Pei Danian reported to Mayor Pi, there were only a few short images and no sound.Zhu Huaijing guessed that Pei Danian must also be watching the news at the moment, and he must be dissatisfied. Now that this news is over, Zhu Huaijing has no interest in watching it anymore.Yuqin smiled and said, "You look like a very handsome chief on TV. Comrade leaders are really hardworking, and they are busy running here and there on rest days." Zhu Huaijing smiled, but thought of Mayor Pi, Chen Yan and that The mysterious Building Six.He thought about the matter Yuqin had asked him to do to requisition the land, so he couldn't open his mouth. He mumbled for a while before saying, "Yuqin, the thing you asked me to do was not done well." Yuqin didn't realize it for a moment, frowned for a long time, and then said: "You mean the land acquisition? Didn't I hear you say that it's almost the same?" Zhu Huaijing didn't intend to follow Fang Mingyuan's account, so he put it in a more cryptic manner.He told Yuqin truthfully: "There is no way, Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway. Mayor Pi's son Pi Jie's Tianma Company wants to acquire this land and build a comprehensive entertainment center. You say five million, and he four One million is settled. I wanted to tell you earlier, because it’s hard to say on the phone.” Yuqin didn't speak for a long time, just staring at the TV in a daze.Zhu Huaijing enlightened and said: "Forget it, this Longxing is not your Yuqin's own, so worry less if you can." Yuqin sighed: "Yeah, so what? There's no way around it. Now as long as you have the power, it's so easy to make money." Zhu Huaijing didn't want to continue this topic, so he just said: "You can talk to Boss Lei first, and I will talk to him when I have a chance. I suggest you speak more reservedly, and don't mention Piglet's name. It will have a bad influence." Zhu Huaijing knew Yuqin will not tell Boss Lei what he said, because only telling the truth can be convincing, otherwise no one will believe what Mayor Pi originally agreed to, so why did he change his mind later.Mayor Pi is really too much like a leader, he says what should be said, and doesn't say a word about what should not be said.Mayor Pi agreed to the land acquisition in front of Zhu Huaijing, but now that the situation has changed, he seems to be fine.He didn't mention it anymore, and it was inconvenient for anyone to talk about it.This is the case in the officialdom. As long as the leader doesn't want to mention what happened, it can be regarded as not happening. Yuqin really smiled and said: "If I don't tell the truth, how can I tell Boss Lei? It will also make you lose face, people think you have no ability at all!" In fact, Zhu Huaijing didn't care what Yuqin said. .Nowadays, there are too many rumors about the leaders and their families, and they won't be able to do anything just because of such a piece of gossip.At this moment, Zhu Huaijing's cell phone rang. He was worried that it was Xiangmei calling, so he looked at Yuqin.As soon as I saw Yuqin's eyes, I knew that she was also worried about this.Looking at the phone number, it was Secretary-General Liu, "Ah, hello Secretary-General, what instructions do you have?" Secretary-General Liu said: "It's okay. Did you not rest today? Did you go out with Mayor Pi?" "Mayor Pi thought of going out for a while, so he called me." Zhu Huaijing guessed that Secretary-General Liu must have seen him on TV just now. Secretary-General Liu said, "Oh, is that right? Come over if you have time. I'm at home. I have something to trouble you." "I'm just about to come. All right, I'll come right away." Zhu Huaijing stuck out his tongue at Yuqin after answering the phone.Yuqin was a little disappointed and sighed.Zhu Huaijing just said to go and come.He kissed Yuqin, got up and went out.He stopped a taxi and went straight to the government compound.Along the way, he couldn't think of anything Secretary Liu would ask him to do.It's been a long time since I visited Secretary-General Liu specifically.According to his public relations management system, Mayor Tongpi was outside for a day today. Although it was work, it was also socializing. It was regarded as the completion of an activity with A1.This kind of activity is the most cost-effective.As for Secretary-General Liu of B1, it's time for him to contact him once.He seemed to hear something from Secretary-General Liu's tone on the phone just now. It seemed that Secretary-General Liu had some thoughts about Mayor Pi.The schedule of major events for leading comrades in the city is coordinated by Secretary-General Liu after unified research.And Mayor Pi walked alone without saying hello to him, his mood would inevitably become complicated.Thinking of this, Zhu Huaijing felt a little awkward being caught between Mayor Pi and Secretary-General Liu.After a while, the taxi arrived at the gate of the government compound.Zhu Huaijing hurried home, and didn't explain anything to Xiangmei, so he ran into the kitchen, fished two legged fish from the water tank, put them in a plastic bag, and said that there was something urgent to go out.Xiangmei could guess what he was going to do, so she didn't ask much. At the door of Secretary-General Liu, there happened to be three guests going out. Secretary-General Liu stood at the door and waved, saying that it was okay to go.Seeing Zhu Huaijing, you said that Huaijing came so soon?Please come in please come in.After entering the room, Zhu Huaijing said, "I have two legged fishes for you." Secretary-General Liu said politely, "Keep them for yourself." The two were being polite when Xiao Wu came out and called Zhu Chu Grow well.Secretary-General Liu waved at Xiao Wu and said: "Jiejie, take it in and pour it into the water tank." Zhu Huai once heard Secretary-General Liu call Xiao Wu that way.Zhu Huaijing never cared about Xiao Wu's name, probably there is a word Jie in the middle of her name. Zhu Huaijing sat down, only to find a pair of ancient couplets carved from bamboo on the tea table.Xiao Wu has poured tea and handed it to Zhu Huaijing.Secretary-General Liu looked a little smug, looked at Gulian with his head tilted, and asked, "Huaijing, what do you think of this? A friend saw that I like these antique calligraphy and paintings, and bought them from outside." Zhu Huaijing stood Get up, appreciate it carefully, and see the inscription on it: The spring breeze boldly combs the willows Ye Yu hides people to moisten the flowers The place where the inscription was signed was damaged and scattered, only three spots of water can be seen faintly, which is probably something from the Qing Dynasty. "Okay, really good. This character is very strong. I think this couplet is probably from the Qing Dynasty. The bamboo board is the most fragile after a long time. It is a miracle that the bamboo couplet can be so intact." Secretary-General Liu said: "I still don't know who made this couplet and characters. Just now when you entered the door, you met those three people. Two of them are experts from the Institute of Cultural Relics. They said they have a way to verify it. If it is really someone who wrote this couplet It’s terrible!” Zhu Huaijing nodded again and again, and said, “Yes. If it wasn’t for everyone’s handwriting, it wouldn’t be handed down.” But he thought in his heart, maybe this was the elegant work of some unknown country scholar back then. . The two talked about ancient couplets for a while, and Secretary-General Liu said: "Huai Jing, I have something to trouble you. Your Aunt Yu and I have no children, and Aunt Yu is not in good health. She was admitted to the hospital a few days ago. Jie Jie is a good child, Aunt Yu and I both like her." Secretary-General Liu patted Xiao Wu beside him as he spoke.Xiao Wu felt a little coquettish, and leaned towards Secretary-General Liu.Secretary-General Liu grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, squeezed it lightly, and said, "Aunt Yu and I want Jiejie to be our daughter. This way we can rely on each other when we get old. I'll entrust you to go back to Wuxian County. It is to discuss with the adults of Jiejie’s family and ask them to agree; the second is to help Jiejie change her household registration to an urban household registration, and then move to Jingdu; the third is to change her surname to Liu when she moves her household registration. It's Liu Jie, isn't it?" Secretary-General Liu patted Jiejie's face while speaking.Jiejie pursed her lips and said dad, then put her head on Secretary Liu's shoulder. After hearing this, Zhu Huaijing didn't think too much about it, and quickly said, "This is a great event. I'm so happy to congratulate you. Congratulations, Xiao Wu, yes, Xiao Liu, you are really lucky to have such a good father. Okay, I Go back to Wu County immediately." After the matter was settled, Secretary-General Liu casually asked about Mayor Pi's inspection of the Flying Man Garment Company today.Zhu Huaijing felt that Secretary-General Liu seemed to be asking casually, but he actually cared a lot.He also pretended to be confused and said casually, giving the impression that Mayor Pi happened to be going out by chance, so he called him. After sitting for a while, Zhu Huaijing left.He went out, thinking whether to go home or go to Yuqin's place, he hesitated for a moment, then went out the door.He didn't want to call a taxi, so he walked along the alley to Longxing Hotel alone.Along the way, he was always thinking about Secretary-General Liu accepting Xiao Wu as his daughter, but he couldn't imagine that Aunt Yu would agree.He understood Secretary Liu's pain of not having children, and wanted to believe that Secretary General Liu really needed such a daughter.But he felt strange that seeing the father and daughter being so affectionate just now, he actually felt some kind of sensory stimulation. Zhu Huaijing returned to Wu County, and within two days, everything was done.With Zhang Tianqi talking there, everything is easy to handle.Jiejie's parents are both honest farmers, and their family is so poor. Hearing that her daughter has been recognized as a daughter by a high-ranking official in the city, and even moved her household registration to the city, she almost knelt down and thanked God.The old man almost regarded Zhu Huaijing as a great benefactor, took his hand and called him a good man.When people in Xiaowu Village heard about it, they were envious to death. Secretary-General Liu was naturally happy that Zhu Huaijing handled things so neatly, so he kept him for dinner.Just the two of them, at the end of the wine glass, the atmosphere is even more different.The meals are still cooked by Jiejie, but her identity is different. Whether it is serving wine or serving dishes, it is the taste of the host.After this meal, Zhu Huaijing felt that his relationship with Secretary-General Liu became closer. After a few days, the foundation stone of the comprehensive entertainment center of Pegasus Company was laid.According to Pijie's own opinion, all the business projects under his company must be named with the word Tianma, and this entertainment center is called Tianma Entertainment City.Naturally, Lei Fuchen and Mei Yuqin from Longxing Hotel were invited to the groundbreaking ceremony, and Zhu Huaijing was also invited.Fang Mingyuan was invited, but failed to attend.He went to Beijing for a meeting with Mayor Pi.Even if he was at home, it might not be convenient for him to attend.He is Mayor Pi's secretary, and it is not appropriate to participate in the public activities of Piglet's company.Because the wife of the head is the second image of the head, and the secretary of the head is the third image of the head.This is what Mayor Pi said at the chief secretary meeting. At 9:18 a.m. that day, the groundbreaking ceremony began on time.The ceremony was short, but sufficient.Some political leaders and well-known companies in the city came to congratulate, and major news organizations went to interview.Naturally, Chen Yan's presence was indispensable.Zhu Huaijing then called Chen Yan aside and told about Pei Danian's request to keep more shots that day.He was joking about it, and the two of them giggled, causing the acquaintances around to look at them mysteriously.Zhu Huaijing immediately realized something was wrong.He knew it was all right to be told that he had anything to do with any woman in the world, except that he had nothing to do with this woman.He hurriedly suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Jokes are jokes, but Pei Danian is not bad, you can help him if you can. Anyway, he can afford the money. He wants you to do a special program for him, such as an interview with a character." Kind of. Shouldn't that be a problem?" Chen Yan said: "Of course it's no problem. I'm in charge of planning for him and organizing the production." "Then thank you. As a friend, you have done me a favor." Zhu Huaijing knew about this kind of thing, and Chen Yan was of course willing to do it, but he still expressed his gratitude.In fact, this is tantamount to fulfilling her business.Nowadays, if you want to show those positive news reports on TV, the relevant units have to spend money.And if your relationship is not settled, and the scandal in your place is covered on TV, if you want to recover the influence, you have to spend some money to let the TV station report how the leaders of your place have aroused great attention to that issue, and take measures. Strong corrective measures.Therefore, almost all prefectures, cities and counties now have special personnel stationed in Jingdu, who are responsible for liaising with news organizations and striving to provide more good news for the local area.And once there is bad news that may be reported, they will try their best to keep the news from coming out.Jingdu also sent people to Beijing.This is true of news reports, and columns such as character interviews have even more reason to charge money. The ceremony ended quickly, and the guests left one after another.Lei Fuchen always felt that his hotel was right next to him, as if he was half the owner, so he left right away.He asked Yuqin to wait with him for a while.After waiting for the guests to leave, Pijie called Lei Fuchen and said, "I want to drink tea at Longxing, welcome?" "Where is it? Please can't invite you yet!" Lei Fuchen hurriedly clasped his hands together. Piglet looked at Zhu Huaijing and said, "Director Zhu, are you okay now? Go drink tea too? Do me a favor." Of course Zhu Huaijing was happy to have Yuqin here, but he pretended to have something to do, first he looked embarrassed, and then he said boldly: "Forget it, forget it, since you're out, let's stay with you to the end!" Piglet asked the driver and another young man to wait outside, and his secretary-like lady followed Lei Fuchen and the others to Longxing Hotel.Lei Fuchen discussed with Yuqin softly while walking, and then led everyone into the reception room.Soon several young ladies came in to pour tea.Piglet looked at the ladies one by one, and said with a smile: "It is true that Miss Longxing is beautiful!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Lei Fuchen and smiled mysteriously. Lei Fuchen only pretended not to understand what Piglet meant, and replied: "We attach great importance to the quality training of our service personnel. They are not bad in terms of personal appearance, reception etiquette, service standards, etc. However, they must be compared with the first-class hotels in the country. , there is still a gap." Pijie was no longer interested in bringing up the topic of Miss, and said politely: "Bosses, from now on our company's casino will be neighbors with you, please take care of us more. Longxing is first-class in Jingdu The hotel, we develop projects here, just want to get your credit!" Lei Fuchen hurriedly said modestly: "Where is it! General Manager Pi is young and promising, and his career is prosperous. We need to ask you more for advice! I think that after the opening of your entertainment city, it will have a very positive impact on our hotel's business. The guests will choose to stay here even if they want a high-end leisure place. Director Zhu, don’t you think so?” Zhu Huaijing echoed: "Yes, that's right. The service industry is properly concentrated, or reasonably matched, so that the advantages of the cluster can be brought into play. For example, when the Yongxing Commercial Building was expanded that year, the Xintian Mall next door had objections, fearing that Yongxing would rob it. After losing their business, they even went to the city leaders to file a complaint, hoping that the city would stop the development of Yongxing. As a result, after the opening of Yongxing Building, the business of the two companies is booming." When Zhu Huaijing said this, several people immediately When discussing this topic, some economic theory is almost born. Yuqin laughed and said, "You guys are playing Shen Shen too. Things that are very clear at first, but if you Shen Shen, others will not understand." The topic was interrupted by Yuqin, Piglet smiled, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "Then I won't bother you, we will leave." Lei Fuchen left them to play, and left after lunch.Piglet said next time, next time he treats guests.Piglet stood up and shook hands with everyone.When shaking hands with Zhu Huaijing, Zhu Huaijing said: "Let's leave it alone, we will shake hands later. I don't have a car, so I have to ask you to take me back to the government." Zhu Huaijing got into Piglet's car, a luxury Mercedes.He thought to himself that Piglet came to Longxing Hotel casually and chatted with Lei Mei and the two, but he seemed very scheming and paternal.Zhu Huaijing was originally worried that he would not be able to talk to Lei Fuchen about the land acquisition, but after seeing this scene today, he felt confident.Lei Fuchen was afraid that he would not be able to flatter Piglet, so he would fart halfway?Pijie seemed to have seen Lei Fuchen's thoughts, so he simply went to Longxing Hotel for a cup of tea, which was considered to be his favor.Piglet's ability to handle things in such a sophisticated way, although not taught by his father's precepts and deeds, must have been subtly influenced by his ears and eyes. "Director Zhu, is there only one car in your office?" Piglet asked suddenly. Zhu Huaijing said: "Only one Santana, how many more can there be?" Piglet shook his head and said, "Integrity! My dad is really stingy! It's so important to you, how can a car do it? It's a national matter, and I, the common people, can't control it. How about it, you usually go out and always use it The bus is also inconvenient. I will lend you a car, it’s an Audi, it’s a bit old, don’t hold it against me. It’s agreed, it’s for your personal use.” Zhu Huaijing never thought that Piglet would be so generous to him, so he said: "Brother Pi, don't dare, I won't be rewarded for nothing! Besides, I can only drive a bicycle, not even a motorcycle." Piglet said: "It's easy to learn to drive." He called the young man in the front seat, "Xiao Liu, you are responsible for obtaining a driver's license for Director Zhu. Get the license first, and then you will be able to drive if you don't learn." ?” "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. But I'm addicted to using the car, and I won't be used to it when I don't have a car." Zhu Huaijing laughed. Piglet waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master Director! Until I have something to eat, my brother, I can borrow this car indefinitely. Of course, when you have your own car, that's another matter." "When will I have a car?" Zhu Huaijing shook his head and said. Piglet said: "The confidence of your leaders in the country is not as good as our ordinary people? I am optimistic about the future family car market in China, and I am still waiting to make money from this!" Piglet kept saying that he was an ordinary citizen, which sounded quite humorous.And when he talked about the prospect of family cars in China, he also had a Piglet style of humor.Zhu Huaijing did not believe that the Chinese people would get rich so quickly.Although the car has entered the families of a few people, those people are by no means ordinary people in the true sense.Just like Piglet, although he has no official position, he is by no means a commoner.
