Chapter 4 Articles on eating and drinking with public funds

There is no doubt that Zhou Qian had to have some intention to suggest that Chen Ping be thrown into the Environmental Protection Bureau. Although he was stunned by Concubine Xiao Shu's sudden compromise, he was a little suspicious, but his understanding of the situation on the Environmental Protection Bureau was not only not relaxed, but instead paid more attention to it.

So, when Luo Yaming, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau's office, called six deputy directors and discipline inspection team leaders, he followed the mayor group and waited to beat Chen Ping down. Yang Shijun, the first deputy director who straightened him, couldn't sit still. [The latest updates are all in the search.]

However, the distance between him, the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and mayor Zhou Qian, was a bit far away, so he could only call immediately and report the situation to Shi Baolian, director of the government office. As the main housekeeper of Mayor Zhou Qian, Shi Baolian hurried to Zhou Qian's office after getting the news and personally reported the news to his leader Zhou Qian.

"Mayor Zhou, that's how it is. Today, Chen Ping not only checked the work report and financial statements of the Environmental Protection Bureau for the previous quarter as usual, but also asked the office to organize the special governance report on the waters of the Taihu Lake Basin last year, but just asked Luo Yaming, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau's office, to notify all other Environmental Protection Bureau cadres that he was going to treat to dinner."

After Shi Baolian finished speaking, he consciously shut up and stood there. Mayor Zhou Qian sat on his office chair. After listening to Shi Baolian's report, he did not rush to comment on Chen Ping's approach, but asked Shi Baolian first: "Who is this Yang Shijun?"

Shi Baolian replied: "Mayor Zhou, this Yang Shijun is the first deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. After the former director was transferred, he should have served as the Environmental Protection Bureau."

Listening to Shi Baolian's answer, Zhou Qian nodded silently. As an old mayor, he knew very well that in the officialdom, the hatred between political enemies is sometimes much more powerful than killing his father and taking his wife. Although even without Chen Ping and Yang Shijun, he might not be able to take the throne of director, how many people would think so? Therefore, if he wants to vent his anger from the second-in-command to Chen Ping, even if he is not his own team, he will never help Chen Ping to deliberately oppose himself. Not to mention, helping him to defeat Chen Ping, he still has the opportunity to become director. Such a simple multiple-choice question, he should not have done any mistake.

This is Zhou Qian. He is a very cautious person. Therefore, he has always believed in the careful sailing of a thousand-year-old ship. Although he knows that Yang Shijun is a piece he has installed in the Environmental Protection Bureau, he still needs to conduct a comprehensive analysis of him.

After analyzing Yang Shijun's position and ideas, Zhou Qian reassuredly turned the topic back to Chen Ping. He asked Shi Baolian: "Director Shi, why do you think Chen Ping wanted to invite the cadres of the Environmental Protection Bureau to dinner?"

Shi Bao has been Zhou Qian's housekeeper for five years, so he understands Zhou Qian's habits very well and likes to listen to his subordinates' opinions first and then make a final decision. This is not only because of his cautious personality, but also because he believes that only in this way can he demonstrate his leadership authority.

Shi Baolian said: "Mayor Zhou, I don't actually understand Director Chen's approach, because as far as I know, when leaders take office, their subordinates should treat their leaders to dinner. At least in our Luzhuang and even the entire Dongwu City, I have never heard of Director Chen's approach."

"What does Director Shi think Chen Ping's purpose of doing this?" Zhou Qian asked again.

Shi Baolian said half-confidence but uncertainly: "Mayor Zhou, I think the reason why Director Chen Ping did this is to understand how much pressure he is facing. He hopes to use this dinner to get closer to other cadres of the Environmental Protection Bureau as soon as possible so that his future work can be carried out better, right?"

"I want to win people's hearts when I want to have a dinner together. I really don't know if it's to praise him for being creative, or if he's naive and naive." Zhou Qian commented on Chen Ping contemptuously.

"Mayor Zhou is right. Chen Ping is indeed too young. He doesn't know how to be a leader at all." Shi Baolian echoed Zhou Qian, "Inviting guests to dinner is indeed a means to bring closer relationships, but it is easier for subordinates to feel that the leader is too young. Once his subordinates feel this way, the work will be more difficult to carry out."

After saying that, Shi Baolian naturally turned the topic back to Zhou Qian: "It seems that Mayor Zhou, your previous proposal is really far-sighted. Chen Ping is too young and his experience and vision still need to be tempered to be able to bear great responsibility. Fortunately, Chen Ping is only the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau now. If he is allowed to hold an important leadership position, how much work will be delayed and how much damage it will cause to the people!"

Zhou Qian was very comfortable when Shi Baolian flattered. He smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "Director Shi thinks that this time they should be considered a private dinner or a unit dinner?"

Although the people invited are the same people, there is a fundamental difference between private dinners and unit dinners. That is, Chen Ping pays for private dinners himself, while the unit dinners are paid for by the Environmental Protection Bureau.

Faced with this question, Shi Baolian thought seriously, and then answered Zhou Qian: "Mayor Zhou, after receiving Yang Shijun's report, I also asked Luo Yaming, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau's office. His answer was that Chen Ping just asked him to notify other cadres and did not raise the question of the final payment. However, Luo Yaming is the old director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. In order not to make Chen Ping embarrassed, he made preparations. He had just received 50,000 yuan from the Finance Department in the name of the office as a preparatory payment for the dinner."

Shi Baolian's answer made Zhou Qian's eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked Shi Baolian: "When is their dinner time?"

"It's tonight." Shi Baolian replied.

"Very good, please keep an eye on Director Shi's matter. Tonight I must know what kind of dinner they have this dinner, do you understand?" Zhou Qian said.

Shi Baolian nodded and agreed. Of course he understood what Zhou Qian meant, and he just wanted to make a fuss about this dinner. Although it is common for eating and drinking in government units to eat and drink with public funds, if it is really taken to the table, it would be a mistake to make it look extravagant.

This error is undoubtedly just a small mistake, but it is also because of the small mistake that makes people more likely to be careless.

Zhou Qian did admit that Chen Ping had a high political IQ, but his age was his inevitable weakness, so he was destined to be unable to think about everything.

Zhou Qian believed that Chen Ping might have been planning to use his money to invite other cadres of the entire Environmental Protection Bureau to dinner, but because of his youth, he neglected to point out who would pay the bill to the office director Luo Yaming, who would pay the bill. Luo Yaming was not good at asking Chen Ping directly. In this way, as Chen Ping's housekeeper, Luo Yaming must be prepared for both ways, because no matter how long Chen Ping can sit in this position, Luo Yaming, as the office director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, could never make Chen Ping feel disgusting, so he would not be able to let Chen Ping lose money after dinner and pay the bill.

Then, in order to sell well in front of Chen Ping, Luo Yaming would definitely take public funds to attend the dinner. Finally, he volunteered to pay the bill and then the office would reimburse it.

For all government officials, eating and drinking with public funds is normal. Even though the people hate it deeply, at least within the system, no one will raise any objections to it, so Chen Ping will never be unable to get along with the money and will definitely agree.

Well, even though Chen Ping doesn’t care much about money, as the new leader, especially the leader who is forced to take office under tremendous pressure, he must master the Environmental Protection Bureau as soon as possible. As the chief of the office, as the main steward of the entire unit, he is obviously a key position in the Environmental Protection Bureau.

In order to win over Luo Yaming, it was normal for Chen Ping to eat and drink on public funds, so Zhou Qian thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason why Chen Ping didn't do this.

Of course, this small mistake would not have deprived Chen Ping of the official uniform, but at least the warning of "the extravagance and waste of public funds on the first day of employment made the government shame" was enough to disrupt Xiao Shufei's arrangement. As long as the other party was distracted, he would have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
