Chapter 44: Visiting the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee
Zhang Wenhua didn't say much, but just patted Gao Jianbin on the shoulder and said, "Jianbin, I'll have dinner with me tonight. I want to have a good chat with you. I'll ask Luo Haichen to call you later. You can go with your girlfriend first, otherwise someone will scold me!" Gao Jianbin immediately agreed as soon as he heard this. This is a great thing. He could see that Zhang Wenhua is not the kind of person who is greedy for me and makes a rash progress. He must have his own difficulties in doing so. Gao Jianbin sneaked out of the gate and called Li Li, telling her that he would have dinner with Zhang Wenhua tonight and needed to go back later.
Go. Li Li pouted and said, "I finally came here once and didn't even accompany me to eat. I knew how to make up for my fragile heart. How do you think I should compensate me for my fragile heart?" Gao Jianbin laughed and said, "I won't accompany you to eat, I'll let you eat enough when I go back!" Li Li's face turned red and she whispered, "I'm so shameless. I'll ignore you. When I come back, safety is the first priority. I'll drink less." Gao Jianbin's heart was warm and replied with a smile: "I know, my wife!" These two words made Li Li feel very sweet in her heart, and she threw away all her reluctance.
What Gao Jianbin didn't expect was that he actually attended Zhang Wenhua's family dinner tonight. This level was not ordinary, and it made Gao Jianbin happier than the five-star hotel. This was the first time Gao Jianbin came to the municipal party committee compound. Looking at the armed police soldiers standing guard at the door, his expression was solemn and solemn. There were armed police squads patrolling back and forth in the compound. Gao Jianbin thought that he would come in that day. Luo Haichen saw that Gao Jianbin was a little excited and couldn't help but smile. He also had the same expression when he first came, and he was nervous and sweating all over his body.
The cadres are basically a two-story small building with a courtyard. When the two of them entered the door, Zhang Wenhua was sitting in the living room of their home reading documents. In such a position, there was no real rest time. If you don’t stay at home, you would be considered resting. Gao Jianbin did not dare to buy any expensive gifts, but just carefully selected a basket of fruits as a first-time meeting gift. Gao Jianbin looked at the thick stack of documents. Although he was eager for this position, he couldn’t help but feel a little dizzy. Zhang Wenhua was quite easy-going when he was at home, and pointed to the sofa and continued to read the documents.
Looking at the residence of the municipal party secretary, Gao Jianbin felt that it was a little different from his imagination, and it didn't look special. The furniture and supplies at home were also very ordinary. Gao Jianbin thought that his small home was in addition to the size of the municipal party secretary's home. He didn't know that Zhang Wenhua was a very simple person and hated luxury the most. If it weren't for the authority of the municipal party secretary himself and the armed police soldiers standing guard at the door, his home would be no different from ordinary families.
A middle-aged woman who looked very elegant smiled and brought tea and fruits. She was very satisfied with the fruits that Gao Jianbin bought instead of expensive gifts, and her attitude was very amiable. Luo Haichen quickly stood up and took them with his hands. Gao Jianbin stood up and took them hot tea but could only say thank you. He didn't know who the woman was. Luo Haichen introduced: "This is Secretary Zhang's lover, Sister Liu." Gao Jianbin hurriedly said hello, Zhang Wenhua's lover Liu Yanmei was a bad thing.
The hospitality woman greeted Gao Jianbin and Luo Haichen and sat down with a smile and said, "You don't need to introduce me. I know that this must be Gao Jianbin, the top leader of Shiqiao Town. I really didn't expect to be so young. Wenhua often mentions you, I'm so happy to be able to come to our house for dinner today. Usually, we are two of us at home, so it's rare to be lively. Don't treat yourself as a guest. I go to the kitchen to cook and do whatever you eat and drink!"
It can be seen that Zhang Wenhua's lover was definitely a beauty when he was young, and his every frown and smile still had the charm of the girlhood. Seeing that Zhang Wenhua was so self-disciplined and didn't even look for a nanny, Gao Jianbin really admired him very much. After reading the documents, Zhang Wenhua raised his head and smiled and said, "Jianbin, is it a little uncomfortable to come to me?" Gao Jianbin also smiled and replied, "Is it a little uncensored? It's the first time I went to the city secretary's house to have dinner, so I couldn't help feeling nervous." Zhang Wenhua laughed and threw a cigarette to him and Luo Haichen.
This time I was given a special cigarette that only central leaders could enjoy. Gao Jianbin had seen it at Wu Haiqing's home. Zhang Wenhua said with emotion: "The higher the position, the lonelier the person, and there are very few people who can open their hearts to talk, which is also the price that leaders have to pay. The people who come to me are basically here with purpose, so I don't like to entertain guests at home. The home should be the last pure land without scheming or fighting, so we will speak openly tonight, without the need to restrain ourselves or worry too much."
Zhang Wenhua said he was chatting with her arms, but Gao Jianbin was still nervous and even his back was wet. Zhang Wenhua determined his future and ideals. If that sentence was a taboo, he would not know the consequences. Liu Yanmei was very fast and within a short while, she called three people to go to the restaurant for dinner. The food was ordinary home-cooked dishes, and there was no sea cucumber or abalone, and she would not eat that thing at home. For a dignified municipal party secretary, those were not rare things at all. Instead, they were not as good as the food at home. Zhang Wenhua took out a bottle of wine from the small wine cabinet, and several thousand
This is the custom of the New Year. No wine is insincere. Zhang Wenhua seemed to remember something when he looked at this bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "This bottle of wine was given to me by my father on the first day I entered politics. In the blink of an eye, it has been twenty years, and I am a little successful! I am very happy that Jianbin came here today, so we will drink this Maotai aged wine for more than thirty years!" Let's not mention Luo Haichen's envy. Gao Jianbin is really blessed. He may still be the first person to receive such hospitality from Zhang Wenhua. He is also considered Zhang Wenhua's caring person, and he has never received such treatment, let alone others.
Gao Jianbin was driving here today. When he saw the big wine glass, he couldn't help but hesitate. Luo Haichen saw that Gao Jianbin's thoughts were coming, and he leaned into Gao Jianbin's ear and laughed in a low voice: "Don't be afraid of driving while drunk. Let the driver Master Wang drive your car and take you back later. After all, the country has very strict control over the current drunk driving. Besides, I can't drink much tonight, so you can rest assured." Gao Jianbin immediately felt calm. He had not driven a car before, but today he was at Zhang Wenhua's house, worried that Zhang Wenhua would have a bad impression.
Wenhua was about to raise his glass when the phone suddenly rang. It must be a big deal to look for him at night, so he told Liu Yanmei to ask Gao Jianbin to eat something first. He poured the study to answer the phone. The crucian carp soup made by Liu Yanmei was very delicious, and the milky white crucian carp soup looked envious. Gao Jianbin drank it endlessly. Liu Yanmei seemed very happy to accept an apprentice, so she explained the tricks of making crucian carp soup to Gao Jianbin in detail. When Zhang Wenhua came back, he saw the atmosphere was very harmonious, and he felt sorry for his daughter why he had not met a young man like Gao Jianbin.
He raised his glass and said, "The first glass of wine is welcome to my house. Let's have a glass of six, come!" The wine is indeed very mellow and sweet, and it is the best among the wine. Liu Yanmei poured a glass of red wine to accompany them, and took a sip with a smile. Zhang Wenhua picked up a piece of vinegar and lotus root slices with chopsticks and smiled and said, "Your Sister Liu is from the south. This dish is pretty good. You can try it too." Liu Yanmei said, "I praise my wife for cooking deliciously, so that Jianbin could make a joke!" Zhang Wenhua said, "Facts are facts. Tie a man's heart and tie a man's stomach first. This is not a very classic word!"
Liu Yanmei has just realized that her husband is not very happy. She actually joked in front of two subordinates, which proves that she has encountered a big happy event. There are very few people who can be invited by her husband to have dinner. There are no young cadres except Luo Haichen. However, Luo Haichen is also in the position of secretary, so Gao Jianbin is directly related to this big happy event tonight. Zhang Wenhua did not talk about work at the dinner table at all, but just talked about family matters while drinking. When Liu Yanmei learned that Gao Jianbin's girlfriend was Li Li, she couldn't help but be happy for Gao Jianbin. Li Li's talent was one in a million.
Gao Jianbin felt that Zhang Wenhua would not be as simple as asking him to eat tonight. Sure enough, after dinner, Zhang Wenhua said, "Let's go to the study to chat, Xiao Luo go to make tea." After sitting on the sofa in the study, Gao Jianbin took the initiative to take out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Wenhua. Zhang Wenhua looked at the handed over by Ruan Zhonghua and said, "Jianbin's smoking level is not low!" Gao Jianbin quickly took out a lighter and lit it for Zhang Wenhua, and then said, "Secretary Zhang, you know that when I was in Haizhou, I majored in the Department of Finance. Basically, every student in the Department of Finance would play stocks, but the amount of stock trading was relatively large. I met the help of a stock trading expert, so I also made some money in four years. My financial situation is definitely much looser than that of ordinary people, and my relative material conditions are a little higher."
Zhang Wenhua smoked and said, "Don't think too much. You spend the money you earn. Even if you buy the 95 Supreme, it doesn't matter. I just thought about the current phenomenon. No matter how big or small our current cadres are, anybody with some power, will not be very low-level. The key is that they don't spend money on their own. If you take a closer look, most of the department-level cadres smoke more than 20 yuan in daily life, and at least half of the time they spend smoking Chinese, Su Yan, department-level cadres and department-level cadres are even more outrageous. They usually smoke Chinese, Huanghelou, and a month-on-day.
