Chapter 308 Where to Go (Part 2)
After visiting the exhibition hall, Bugao tried his best to invite everyone in the new management committee to have dinner together. Hou Weidong did not refuse and agreed readily.
Dinner was held in the Chinese restaurant of Shazhou Hotel. The dishes in the hotel were actually very average, but the environment was good. In a classical decoration-style hall, the senior management of the BKO company and the new management committee gathered a large table. This table was the most expensive one in the hotel. It could be used as twenty-five people. The two of them sat face to face. They had to raise their voices to hear them.
Bu Gao held up a glass of red wine and said, "It is better to meet me by chance than to invite you. It is my honor to invite all the leaders of the New Management Committee today."
Xiaoman sat next to Bugao like a lady. The weather was still cold. Although there was air conditioning in the house, it was still not hot. She was wearing a high-neck sweater and her shirt was very well-behaved, but her face was a little blue, obviously a little cold.
The young men in the New Management Committee were undoubtedly attracted by Xiaoman, and they quickly turned their attention from Buck to Xiaoman. The New Management Committee is the most open place in Yi Yang, and there are also good beauties such as Yang Liu in the unit, but the beauties in the New Management Committee are amateur players, and how can amateurs compete with professional beauties like Xiaoman?
Hou Weidong once had a more severe test of beauties of the same level, so he had much stronger ability to withstand it. His eyes did not focus on Xiaoman. After he gave his thank-you speech, he began to fight with the spirit of the women's volleyball team. The dishes that were usually not available on the table were actually cooked by the chef of the Shazhou hotel, which was so annoying that the hotel dishes were all cooked. He ate two in a row and was very excited.
Seeing that her husband looked ugly, Xiaojia secretly kicked her with her feet. However, Hou Weidong ignored him and even enthusiastically clamped one for deputy director Zhang Jin.
After dinner, Buck invited the new management committee members to sing Karaoke. This time, Xiaoman's professional skills shocked everyone again. After appreciating the beautiful singing of the orioles, the Nuoda private room became unstoppable. The reason was very simple, and the others were ashamed of themselves and did not dare to sing on stage.
Hou Weidong and Xiaojia were also the masters. When they saw the scene, they took the initiative to sing "Heart Rain", which was the beginning. Then, Yang Liu also sang a song.
Zhang Jin, Zhang Xiangyu, Shen Yonghua and others were beaten to death and were reluctant to sing. They sang wine aside. The smell of foreign wine that had been mixed with the drink became very light. They didn't know the price of the foreign wine, so they kept drinking. Xiaojia knew the price. When he saw a pile of foreign wine bottles piled up in the corner of the house, he took a break and whispered to Hou Weidong: "This wine is quite expensive. Drink less."
Hou Weidong knew it and did not speak out.
Bugao was sincerely treating guests, and he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the New Management Committee. What is this little money? He was happy to see Zhang Jin and others drinking, and even mobilized senior management of Bugao's company to fight with the New Management Committee. In this way, there were more bottles of foreign wine.
At the end of the show, Bubugao Company gave each of the new management committee two bottles of Maotai. Then everyone broke up drunk.
It was already eleven o'clock when I returned to my home in Xinyuelou.
"Husband. Today, I guess he spent at least tens of thousands of dollars on this day. It's been more than a year for ordinary family in Shazhou."
Hou Weidong said: "The current policy has a principle that it is normal not to eat or drink, so that your brothers can get some benefits appropriately and make more convenient commands."
Xiaojia looked at Hou Weidong with his head tilted and said, "Honey, you have changed a lot after graduating from school. You were very angry when you talked about these things before. I remember that you went to Yiyang Human Resources Bureau to report to the Yiyang Human Resources Bureau, and after you came back, you scolded * behavior."
"Has I been angry?" Hou Weidong almost broke his leg to report back then. Although he still remembered this, his mood had already been smooth.
Xiaojia threw out another big question, "Bukgao's ideal is to make money. Why do you work so hard? For example, if you don't go home during the Spring Festival, and follow the secretary to greet the New Year everywhere? Is it just to be an official, and what is your principle and ideal?"
"Principles and ideals? I haven't remembered these two words for a long time."
While smoking a cigarette, Hou Weidong thought about the question raised by Xiaojia and thought to himself: "In the past, I was in Qinglin, and I always thought about being transferred to Qinglin Town Government. When I was the deputy mayor of Qinglin Town, I often thought about being transferred back to Shazhou. Now that I have become the director of the new management committee, I have not been short of money. Why are I running around for the sake of?"
He laughed self-deprecatingly: "In middle school politics class, the first chapter is to establish a correct outlook on life and world view. Many corrupt officials always write a letter of repentance, and they always have to write that their outlook on life and world view are distorted. It seems that outlook on life and world view is indeed very important."
"Why can I not have a correct outlook on life and world? So why are I busy like this?"
Seeing that Hou Weidong really began to think about this big problem, Xiaojia smiled and said, "Honey, I just asked casually, don't think too much. In today's society, who is really going to talk about ideals and principles? Everyone is following the inertia."
Hou Weidong was still thinking about the philosophical issues. Xiaojia did not expect that her casual words would cause her husband to fall into deep thought. Generally speaking, people who are in deep thought do not like to chat with others, and chat is very important for women. She took the initiative to peel a very good-looking Guanggan for Hou Weidong and said, "Husband, don't lock your eyebrows, eat a Guanggan to relieve wine."
Seeing that Hou Weidong was habitually going to get tea, Xiaojia immediately stopped him and said, "I can't drink tea after drinking wine. I can't remember how many times I told you."
Hou Weidong had to take Guanggan and ate it while saying, "It would be great if Guanggan was produced in summer. It would be too cold in winter, which would affect appetite."
"Isn't there summer orange?"
“Summer oranges are not delicious.”
Hou Weidong was still thinking about things, but his thinking quickly turned from metaphysical to real problems. "Zhu Yan is gone, what should I do?" Ideals and principles can be ignored for the time being, but the actual problems in front of him must be considered. No matter who becomes the county party secretary, Yi Yang's political territory will change. He, a former celebrity of the county party secretary, may not be too easy.
Although Zhu Yan will be promoted, he is the deputy secretary of Maoyun's prefectural committee after all. He can only take action with Yi Yang's affairs, but he has no right to decide his destiny.
At least, before he was transferred to Maoyun, he had to support the situation independently. Thinking of these difficulties, his long-term and important outlook on life and worldview was naturally left behind. Ideals could not defeat reality, and principles always gave in the face of difficulties.
He said to Xiaojia: "I want to invite Minister Su and Sister Zhao to travel to Shanghai for two days, and then come back to work." Xiaojia was a little surprised and said: "We went to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, why did we invite the couple to Shanghai again?"
"Bukgao spends money to Yiyang's project. In fact, even if he doesn't spend this money, the New Management Committee will serve him seriously. Bukgao is the first to try his best. The New Management Committee tries to make money as much as possible so that it can attract other investors."
He analyzed: "But Bakao would not consider the problem like this. This is a project worth over 100 million yuan. He cannot simply rely on the conscious self-discipline of the New Management Committee. He would rather spend some money to win the support of the New Management Committee. This is the smartest way for businessmen."
"I invited Su Mingjun to Shanghai, the main purpose is to further narrow the relationship between the two parties. The relationship is like a blacksmith. The more you hit, the better. I can get to this position today mainly depends on Zhu Yan, but relying solely on one person is dangerous. The ancients knew that cunning rabbits had three holes, so I also need to find more relationships, which is a need for survival."
Xiaojia understood Hou Weidong's approach. She and Sister Zhao were card friends who had been fighting together for a long time. Although they called at night, they spoke very directly and said, "Sister Zhao, have you been free these two days? Our family went to Shanghai to play for two days. If you don't go to play, I will be back from graduation."
The two of them joked on the phone for a while, then hung up the phone. Xiaojia said, "I agreed to fly at 7 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Xiaojia used to be the deputy director of the Construction Committee and was very familiar with Sister Li, who was in charge of the plane. She immediately called Sister Li, who was also a night owl, was fighting on the mahjong table. When she heard Xiaojia's phone call, she happily covered the matter.
Early the next morning, the Mitsubishi bus from Yiyang Xin Management Committee arrived in Shazhou. The two families went to Lingxi for lunch and rushed to the airport.
The trip to Shanghai was rich and colorful. Xiaojia and Sister Zhao lingered in major shopping malls. When it comes to shopping, men could not compare to women. Hou Weidong and Su Mingjun felt that their feet were as heavy as lead, while the two women were not tired at all.
When he returned to Lingxi, there were two large bags of luggage, mostly of Sister Zhao and Su Tanger's clothes. Although Su Mingjun was tired, he was happy to see his wife and daughter. When he returned to Shazhou, he insisted on asking Hou Weidong to have dinner at the water, land and air next to the Crescent Tower. Hou Weidong refused and agreed.
After a few glasses of wine, the two of them naturally turned the topic into the officialdom, which was the excitement point of the people in the officialdom.
"Eiyang's county party secretary can grow up. Zhu Yan's official voice is very good. It's a matter of time before promotion. I heard that the province will adjust a group of regional teams recently. If my judgment is correct, Zhu Yan should be able to go up. However, there are not many opportunities in Shazhou. He may have to work elsewhere. The biggest adjustments to the regional team are Maoyun and Wangling areas. He most likely have to go to these two places."
Su Mingjun is the executive vice minister of the Organization Department of Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. He is well-informed and familiar with organizational work. Although he does not know where Zhu Yan is, he guessed that one is inseparable from ten.
Hou Weidong humbly asked for advice, "I used to be Secretary Zhu's secretary. After Secretary Zhu left, I'm afraid his life would be difficult."
Su Mingjun said: "Ma Youcai and Zhu Yan didn't have a pot of pee before. If Zhu Yan really wanted to be transferred, your situation would be a bit embarrassing, but it was no big deal. If there was a problem, I would try to transfer to Shazhou, but I would have to give some discounts to my position."
As the executive vice minister of the Organization Department, he always speaks with no leakage, and it is rare to say that to this level.
