Although the store door is not big, it is not small when entering. The whole store was built using two old-fashioned houses to open up as a frame. Except for the first-floor restaurant with five tabletops, you can see the private rooms on the original room. Zhou Liwen and his friends are on the third floor, walking up the wooden staircase that has been clattering for a while. The third floor was once the place where the master bedroom was used to be. The door at the end was their private rooms.

The decoration of the room is very unique. Except for the Eight Immortals table in the middle, the rest are basically arranged in the style of the house before the liberation. There are sofas, bonsais, bookcases, etc. on the side... There is an old-fashioned audio machine in the corner, and some yellowed old photos are hung on the wall. There is also a screen that can be moved between the sofa and the Eight Immortals table. There is an elegant picture of a lady on it. Everything is antique. When you walk into this place, it seems like you have traveled through time and space to come decades ago.

When Zhou Liwen entered the door, there was already someone waiting in the room. The other party was a middle-aged man in his forties. It was probably the person in charge of the business administration department of their district that Guo Tao mentioned.

"Secretary Lin, let me introduce you to this person. This person is Manager Zhou Liwen, Manager Zhou, and this person is Chief Lin Zijianlin of our district's Business Administration Department."

"Hello, Manager Zhou, I have been recognizing my reputation for a long time." Lin Zijian showed great enthusiasm and took the initiative to step forward with a smile and stretched out his hand: "I am very happy that Manager Zhou can come today, brother. Come on, let's sit first. Manager Zhou, are you smoking? Try this, the cigar brought by my friend from Xiangjiang."

Lin Zijian warmly greeted Zhou Liwen to sit on the sofa together. After Zhou Liwen and Guo Tao sat down, he took out a wooden box from the side with a smile.

"Romeo No. 1?" Zhou Liwen recognized the label on the wooden box at a glance.

"What a good vision! Manager Zhou!" Lin Zijian praised with a thumbs up, took two tubes from it and handed them to Zhou Liwen and Guo Tao.

After taking off the aluminum tube and taking out the cigar, Zhou Liwen put it under his nose and sniffed it slightly. He said thank you, skillfully took the tools placed beside him and cut the cigar, then baked it with a special lighter and lit it. A unique fragrance of the cigar suddenly filled his mouth, which made Zhou Liwen praise him.

"Manager Zhou is really worthy of being a big company. I didn't expect that he is so familiar with cigars. He is not as good as us grassroots cadres, who have a small vision and don't know any good things. Sometimes he can't enjoy such good things even if he gets them. It's basically a waste. If Manager Zhou likes them, will he take this box of cigars back and smoke them slowly?"

Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand and said, "To be honest, Chief Lin, I just learned from the leaders above. Don't look like that. In fact, it's similar to you. But then again, this cigar tastes really good. If it's not a favorite, then thank you."

Seeing that Zhou Liwen did not refuse his kindness, Lin Zijian's smile even more. In fact, in terms of value, although this box of cigars is not cheap, it is not a very expensive thing in their eyes. The reason why Zhou Liwen did not refuse Lin Zijian's acceptance of this box of cigars was mainly to express an attitude. The same intention of Lin Zijian's words just now was that he was deliberately using this method to express his apology for what happened yesterday, and at the same time testing Zhou Liwen's reaction.

It seems that everything went very smoothly, and Lin Zijian, as a peacemaker, was relieved. Speaking of which, if it weren't for him and the bald man, he wouldn't have worked so hard to be the middleman. Just last night, he received a call from the bald man. When he learned that the bald man had actually come to the door to slap in the face without even investigating, and was driven out by the other party, he couldn't bear it.

f scolded the bald man on the phone. Because for people like them, the vision is very necessary. Who can offend and who must not offend, this is related to your future. You must know that if someone accidentally offends someone who should not offend, your career will be complete in the future.

No matter how much he scolded, he still had to help with his old friends and classmates. Lin Zijian found Guo Tao, who had a good relationship with him these days, and asked him to help him come out to talk to Zhou Liwen. Fortunately, Guo Tao lived up to his expectations, Zhou Liwen agreed to the banquet, so Lin Zijian specially arranged the location in this hotel.

Zhou Liwen took the cigars with ease, and the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious. From the beginning of chatting with cigars, Lin Zijian seemed to be very excited. As the few people chatted, they gradually talked about their usual work and lamented that their industrial and commercial personnel usually seemed to be majestic, but in fact, this job was not easy to do and was the easiest to offend people.

"Secretary Lin is saying this. Sometimes, you still have to do the work that your superiors have to offend people even though you know that you want to offend others. It's thankless!" Guo Tao said tactfully in front of him with his eyes raised.

"Boss Guo said this well, it is indeed like this." Lin Zijian nodded and sighed, causing great grievances to Zhou Liwen, and specifically said something about banning unlicensed vendors some time ago. This matter was just a small matter, but such a small matter not only did not get the support of the people around him, but was complained about it after banning one of the unlicensed vendors, and the more heartbreaking one was still behind. Because a vendor was kinship with a leader of the Public Security Bureau, the other party later found someone, and the Public Security Bureau came forward to find the branch director directly. A business staff who called him to run errands not only did not count the matter being found, but also had to come to the door to apologize.

"You guys say, what a mess!"

Zhou Liwen asked curiously: "Since this person has a relationship with the leader of the Public Security Bureau, it is not difficult to go through formal procedures, right? Why is it still operating without a license?"

Lin Zijian explained with a smile: "Actually, he deliberately did not go through the procedures, Zhou Jing\

u7406 You don’t know that you have to pay taxes and management fees after applying for a certificate. If he doesn’t have a certificate, he doesn’t need it at all. Besides, there is someone in the Public Security Bureau who can get it back after searching for things, but it has no effect on him at all. But he is fine, and our people are in trouble, so sometimes people can get their teeth when they are unlucky when they drink cold water!”

After hearing this, Zhou Liwen laughed silently and nodded to show her understanding.

Speaking of this, Lin Zijian saw that Huohou was almost the same, so he took the initiative to mention yesterday's incident. He first scolded the bald man, saying that he was ignorant of Mount Tai and that he was slapped flies on the tiger's head and was simply seeking death. However, as an old classmate and old friend, he was a colleague in the same system, and he could not stand by death, so he asked Boss Guo and Zhou Liwen to have a meal together, hoping to get Zhou Liwen's forgiveness.

"Lao Gao is actually not bad-minded and very righteous. But he was wrong about the word "righteousness". To be honest, Manager Zhou, I know that Gao Ming is a distant cousin of Lao Gao. His relatives came forward to ask him for help. He couldn't hide his face, and he agreed in a daze without investigating it. Afterwards, Lao Gao regretted it very much. After returning yesterday, he turned against Gao Ming on the spot, which was a complete clear line..."

"There is still this?" Zhou Liwen was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Of course! If you don't believe it, I'll take you to the community where Lao Gao lives. I heard that Lao Gao was so angry that he not only drove Gao Ming out of his house, but also threw all the gifts he gave up from the building. This incident made the whole community know about it."

"This old man...haha, it's just a pity..."

"That's it! Didn't the Chairman say that people are not afraid of making mistakes. The key is to know the mistakes and correct them. You are a good comrade! In fact, Lao Gao always wants to say sorry to you personally, but he is afraid that you will not accept it if you are angry..."

"Haha, nothing, this matter has a wrongdoing and a debtor. The key is a clever problem. Your friend Lao Gao can be considered a victim, so it's not a mistake for those who don't know it." Zhou Liwen waved his hand generously.

"Thank you, thank you very much. If Manager Zhou doesn't mind, I'll ask Lao Gao to apologize to you in person?" After saying that, before Zhou Liwen answered, Lin Zijian quickly got up and opened the door and greeted outside: "Lao Gao! Lao Gao! Come on!"
