Chapter 12: I Know Your Secrets

After temporarily dispelling the idea of opening a private hospital, it was not because of how noble Huang Dong was, but because he felt that it was difficult to do such a good job with his own strength.

In fact, in Huang Dong's heart, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Pudi Hospital, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so profitable, no one can say anything wrong, and he is looking forward to living that kind of life of spending a lot of money, which is an explanation to Sun Bing and his family.

Dispelling the idea of opening a hospital, Huang Dong put all his energy into the work of the medical department, carefully studied the advertisements of those private hospitals in Pudi every day, analyzed their advertising content, and obtained the internal customer information of the hospital from some well-connected hospital employees. He firmly believes that through a period of accumulation, he will be able to open a hospital of his own, and use his connections and experience to run the hospital well.

One Friday afternoon, Cai Dongming came to Huang Dong's office and said that Du Feng was going to gather the directors of their industries for dinner in the evening, and asked him to inform Huang Dong. After finishing business, the two sat down and chatted.

"Brother Cai, how has the recent advertising expansion?" Huang Dong and Cai Dongming are usually busy with each other, and they are rarely able to sit together and chat.

"But it's busy, now the pharmaceutical and health products market is good, and many products are advertised at this time. Cai Dongming didn't lie to Huang Dong, and told him in detail about the recent situation in the pharmaceutical industry.

After another conversation, Cai Dongming answered the phone and went back to the office to receive customers, Huang Dong picked up the newspaper casually, and carefully studied the recent advertisements in the pharmaceutical industry. He found that there are indeed a lot of advertisements in the pharmaceutical industry, more than three times more than the medical industry in terms of quantity, and the content of drugs is also varied, some advertisements are a full page or even a cross page every day, and some are only the size of a tofu block.

"For the time being, the hospital can't be opened, so try to make some medicines, it should be fine. Huang Dong suddenly had such an idea.

The dinner in the evening was initiated by Du Feng, director of the advertising center, so all the middle-level cadres of the center were present, Zhang Yuemei, director of the real estate industry, and Cai Dongming, director of the pharmaceutical industry, are the two veterans of the advertising center, and they are also the heads of the two largest industries in the advertising center, so they are sitting around Du Feng, followed by He Wanli, the director of the commercial industry, Liang Xin, the director of the automobile industry, Mu Xiaoyuan in the financial education industry, and Sun Li, the director of the communication industry, next to Huang Dong.

Except for Huang Dong, these brothers, who have been together for many years, are already very familiar with each other, and the leader Du Feng is in their hearts, and he basically exists as an extremely easy-going big brother, so there is no restraint at the dinner table, making jokes with each other, and "surrounding" Du Feng from time to time. Although it is not the first time for Huang Dong to participate in such a dinner, he has always adhered to the principle of eating more vegetables and talking less, stupidly looking at the mess on the table, but the scene of joy, whoever asks something, he will answer anything, and the rest of the time, he is listening to others.

Sun Li, who sits next to Huang Dong, is a flower in the advertising center, because she was born in an official family, and her good living environment has cultivated an extraordinary temperament, but she does not have any princess disease at all, and she has always had a smiling face in the face of her colleagues, and from time to time she makes some irrelevant jokes, Huang Dong has a good impression of her.

"Boss Du, it's so expensive today, is it just trying to stammer with us, or what's the matter, if you have something to say, I'll drink too much for a while, and I won't have a chance!" Sun Li and Du Feng talked casually, as soon as she spoke, everyone else quieted down, and they all looked at Du Feng.

"It's all visible, it's really something. Du Feng took out a cigarette and slowly picked up the lighter and lit it. Then, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and there was silence for about half a minute.

"Oh, boss, don't take such an appetizing, don't say we're leaving. Zhang Yuemei's voice was fast, and she said that she was going to leave, but her footsteps did not move.

"This matter, although it is not difficult, but we need to work together to achieve the best results, I don't know if you have confidence?" Du Feng did not answer the question directly, and said with a wicked smile, deliberately hanging everyone's appetite.

"Can you still do it, I won't be called Brother Du in the future, I'll be called Sister Du, it's really ink!" Zhang Yuemei said unrelentingly when she saw Du Feng selling Guanzi.

"Sister Du!" He Wanli, Liang Xin, and Cai Dongming mended the knife together.

"Ah, I found that you are getting bigger and smaller, and you are turning against you?" Du Feng, who was besieged, disagreed, and took the posture of a leader.

"I think it's too, it's too big and too small, how can you call Sister Du, right, Aunt Du?" Sun Li continued to mend the knife with a serious face.

"Yes, Aunt Du is good!" everyone laughed and leaned back together, following Ying Hedao.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough" Du Feng was startled by the neat cries of this group of brothers, choked on a puff of cigarette in his throat, and coughed violently a few times.

"Look at you, you don't understand, you make the old man angry. Cai Dongming handed over a bottle of mineral water cleanly, but still did not forget to continue to tease.

"Gotta gotcha, I'm afraid of you, a group of people, this is also called brothers. Du Feng raised his head and poured a few sips of water, waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing, today is your brother Mu Xiaoyuan's birthday, and you don't remember, Xiaoyuan's wife and children have gone out to travel, so I don't want everyone to be lively, we are not people who snub our brothers." ”

Du Feng's words made the hearts of several industry directors warm, in fact, everyone usually laughs and laughs, and they don't seem to have much respect for this leader, and Du Feng is not a good person with them after work, but in fact, everyone has great trust and respect for this big brother in their hearts. Especially Du Feng is indeed enough to take care of these brothers and sisters under him, who is in trouble, he is not stingy to help, today's scene makes everyone quite moved. Huang Dong's heart is even more emotional, this collective that works together at work, and is not big or small after work, is full of human feelings, and Huang Dong feels extremely warm when he is in it.

"Hey, I said it earlier, Xiaoyuan, you too, we ignored it, you don't confess to yourself as a younger brother, if it weren't for the thoughts of the leader, wouldn't we have done something to snub our brother, we should be punished, we should be punished, and we will do it ourselves. As the big brother, Cai Dongming turned the spearhead of jokes to Mu Xiaoyuan.

"Big brothers and sisters, by the way, and Brother Huang, it's mine, I'll punish myself. Mu Xiaoyuan is also a typical Northeast man, he speaks crisply, acts quickly, and drinks a full glass of liquor. Before Huang Dong came to the advertising department, Mu Xiaoyuan was the youngest in the team.

As soon as he heard Mu Xiaoyuan mention himself, Huang Dong quickly stood up and raised his glass and said, "Brother Mu, happy birthday, I'll accompany one." After saying that, he also had a full drink.

"Happy birthday, I'm with you. Cai Dongming and He Wanli also toasted together.

"Farewell, let's do it together. Happy birthday to Xiaoyuan. Du Feng got up and proposed.

The passion of everyone at the table was instantly ignited, and they got up and raised their glasses together, whether it was the liquor in the boy's cup or the beer in the girl's cup.

In this place in the Northeast, you don't need a reason to drink alcohol at all, you can drink two glasses of everything, not to mention, today's reason is sufficient, and the wine must not be drunk.

Mu Xiaoyuan saw everyone toasting together, and drank the liquor he had just poured up.

"Leader, too, if you know, don't you say it earlier, we will also prepare some gifts. Liang Xin, the director of the automobile industry, although she is mediocre in appearance, is also a woman with a lot of charm, after drinking a few glasses of red wine, her face is ruddy, and she complains about Du Feng with disgust.

"Brothers and sisters, what other gifts do you have to prepare, being able to be with you is the biggest gift in my life. Mu Xiaoyuan hurriedly took over the conversation.

"That is, a big man has a birthday, what other gifts do you need, a meal, you have it. Du Feng looked at Mu Xiaoyuan, "Otherwise, I'll have a skewer later, doesn't it mean that there is no problem that can't be solved with a skewer?"

"If there is, then two, hahaha. Everyone followed along.

"Today, on the occasion of Xiaoyuan's birthday, it's really good for everyone to get together, I also know that you are usually busy, in addition to the tasks of the newspaper, you all have your own things. Du Feng put down his wine glass and said to the brothers with a straight face, "However, I don't care about what you do, the premise is that you can't delay the work of the newspaper, everyone must complete the task on time and in quantity, I want to know that you delay your work because of your own affairs, then we have to talk about it at that time." "Du Feng is serious, quite with the majesty of the center's leader.

"The leaders rest assured that we are all centered on Mr. Du and based on the completion of the newspaper's revenue task. No one will drag their feet," Cai Dongming said first.

Subsequently, several industry directors spoke separately, and the scene was very similar to the scene of the advertising center business meeting held every Friday.

In the end, Du Feng couldn't hold back a smile, "Why do I think we are like having a meeting in a conference room, okay, don't show your determination, it's still the same sentence, everyone has a side hustle to improve their lives, I don't object, as long as it doesn't affect the work and doesn't take up work time." ”

"Okay, then let's toast our lovely and great brother together!" Mu Xiaoyuan is indeed a massive, a few glasses of white wine, not drunk at all.

At first, Huang Dong thought that Du Feng's words were referring to someone, and even he wondered if it was Sun Bing's opening of an advertising company, which made Du Feng think that he was engaged in a side business, but what about his own words? But later, judging from the performance of directors in various industries, it seems that everyone has their own side business outside.

"Huang Dong, what do you want?" Du Feng called his name for the second time, and Huang Dong, who was slightly drunk, came to his senses.

"I'm sorry, leader, it's a bit much. Huang Dong hurriedly apologized.

"Don't talk about it, this little wine, what's more, do you want your daughter-in-law?" Mu Xiaoyuan interjected and quipped.

"Haha, Huang Dong, I have to toast you alone with a glass of wine. Du Feng picked up his wine glass, looked at Huang Dong and continued, "You have come to our advertising center for the shortest time, but it's not because of the short time, we treat you as an outsider, or the old saying, our center is a whole, all of them are my brothers and sisters Du Feng, I salute you This glass of wine is a support wine for you, if any of them bully you in the future, or don't help if you have something, you can come to me directly and see how I clean them up." With that, toast the wine.

Huang Dong hurriedly drank a glass of wine with Du Feng, and then said, "Leader, you flattered me, these brothers and sisters take good care of me, I just need to study more." Today, I would like to express my gratitude to all my brothers and sisters. After that, you will see how I perform. ”

"You need to learn a lot, you just need to drink a lot. Cai Dongming joked, and also stood up and drank a glass of wine with Huang Dong.

"Brother Huang, I also toast you, we usually don't have much contact, if there is anything in the future, you can just ask, I will definitely not shirk if I can help, you can just take a sip of liquor, and my beer will be dry." Zhang Yuemei, the director of the premises, spoke quickly, and also took a beer to Huang Dong.

Huang Dong hurriedly got up, "Sister Zhang, thank you, if your brother needs your help in the future, you must be welcome, and my brother has nothing to help my sister, but if you have something, you can also greet your brother, and you must be on call." After speaking, he took the lead in drying most of the glass of liquor.

At this time, Huang Dong had already drunk about 8 taels of liquor, and he did feel a little too much, but he was not drunk yet, which was already an extraordinary performance for him.

"Don't say it, Huang Dong, haven't you bought a house yet, your sister Zhang has the house in her hand, and when the time comes, I will help you choose a set. Du Feng looked at the brothers under him and was quite pleased.

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Zhang. Huang Dong nodded to Zhang Yuemei again in thanks.

"No, you are my younger brother, and your own family's affairs must be arched. Zhang Yuemei, who is from the Northeast Ice City, did not drag her words at all.

"I see that Huang Dong has almost drunk, let's not drink too much, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you. Sun Li picked up the teacup and said to Huang Dong next to him.

Huang Dong glanced at Sun Li gratefully, "Haha, my amount of alcohol is indeed a bit frustrated." But Sister Sun respects me, I have to drink anyway, change the beer. Okay no, leader. Due to the infection of the Northeast brothers at the scene, Huang Dong had a feeling of pride.

"Feel free to drink it, don't drink it. Du Feng replied.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Sun. Huang Dong took the beer He Wanli poured for him, and at this time, Sun Li also changed a glass of beer, and the two of them dried up separately after clinking glasses.

"Big brothers and sisters, today seems to be my birthday, you all respect Lao Huang is a few meanings, and you have the ability to come to me. Mu Xiaoyuan pretended to be aggrieved and complained to everyone.

In fact, he saw that Huang Dong's wine was almost there, so he deliberately diverted his attention, and all the elites here had been rolling in society for several years, so how could he not understand the reason. also got off the donkey down the slope, but he didn't point the spearhead at Mu Xiaoyuan, but fought separately.

Huang Dong was a little dizzy, but he felt extremely warm in his heart, until today, he really felt the importance of this collective to him, Du Feng's frankness, Cai Dongming's unconcealed selfishness, Sun Li's carefulness and thoughtfulness, Zhang Yuemei's arrogance and heartiness, and Mu Xiaoyuan's brotherhood, all moved Huang Dong very much, that is, from this day on, he let go of all his worries and truly integrated into this collective.

"Brothers" Cai Dongming cleared his throat and guided everyone's eyes to him, he saw that everyone was quiet, stood up with a wine glass, glanced at everyone present, and said slowly, " I and Yuemei came to the newspaper for a long time, and I saw the newspaper gradually become stronger, especially since last year, the speed of the development of the newspaper is obvious to all, and our leadership, with us step by step stronger, the customer's attitude towards us, from love to ignorance, to the current brother and brother, are directly related to the leadership to give us behind the back, I am not flattering the leader in person, I think we have such a good leader, good brother, is our blessing, I propose, we toast the big brother together. ”

After listening to him quietly, the directors of various industries present did not look like a joke just now, they got up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and said almost in unison, "Respect the leader, respect the eldest brother." ”

Du Feng was also a little excited at this time, and he also got up with his cup and toasted with everyone. After putting down the wine glass, the table was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Du Feng to say something.

"The atmosphere is a bit serious, but I deserve everyone's praise, you can have today's results, mainly because of your own efforts, as for what I can help you, that's within my responsibility. Du Fengyou lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and continued, "From your various industries, this year's development is leapfrogging, I am very happy to see all this, as your leader, I am proud of you, thank you for everything you have done for the development of the newspaper, but then again, in addition to contributing to the newspaper, as your big brother, I am also very willing to see that you also have your own career, and make your career bigger and stronger." The happiest thing for me is that you have grown the newspaper at the same time, but also strengthened yourself, everyone has become a leader in various industries, the newspaper has given you a platform, you can use this platform to make yourself stronger, have more income, this is the happiest thing for me as a big brother. ”

Du Feng relaxed himself on the back of the chair, flicked off the cigarette ash with his index finger, smiled and said, "Now every industry is more chaotic, local commercial enterprises and foreign business giants are staking ground, Changchun's business development next year will definitely be better than this year, Wanli, I heard that you have got a better position in several shopping malls, and want to cooperate with a chain clothing brand, I am very optimistic about this, you are also very smart, I hope your business will become bigger and bigger." ”

He Wanli, who has always been not good at words, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Du Feng say this, it turned out that Du Feng knew what he was doing in private so thoroughly, he didn't know how to tell Du Feng yet, and he was afraid that the leader would blame him for this. Well, Du Feng took the initiative to mention it and expressed his support, which made He Wanli very moved.

"Leader, don't worry, I will never delay my work, those are side jobs, I also hand them over to my family to operate, all my energy is in the newspaper. He Wanli interjected in the air and quickly expressed his determination.

"Haha, you boys, I don't know what you're doing in private, don't forget, almost all of your customers, I'm familiar with them. Du Feng waved his hand at He Wanli, indicating that he should not be so restrained.

"Oh, Lao He, I didn't expect you to go so fast. Cai Dongming really didn't expect that He Wanli, who is usually taciturn, actually started his own career, and he started to play so big.

"However, leader, I think all industries are quite chaotic now, so we can't see the direction clearly, so we can only squint our heads and work. Mu Xiaoyuan was originally a salesman in the pharmaceutical industry, and he was transferred to be the director of the financial education industry before the newspaper company opened the financial education industry.

"It's really chaotic, the development of various industries has not been so fast before, Beihua's economy, there will be great development in the next few years, which is also inseparable from the country's policy, now it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming, but in the end who can stick to the end, it is not necessarily. However, only chaos has a chance. If all industries are stable, the possibility of small capital involvement will become smaller and smaller. Moreover, it is impossible for all media to be at their peak all the time, and sooner or later there will be a time when it will decline, and when the time comes, the resources in your hands will be greatly reduced. So, brothers, you have the right time, you have to make good use of the resources and contacts in your hands now, take the lead in development, and become industry tycoons. Du Feng's words caused a burst of laughter among the brothers.

These words, Huang Dong was very touched, he knew that Du Feng's father and brother generation, there are not low level government officials, so he will have an accurate judgment on the development of Beihua's economy, according to him, no matter what industry, this is the best time to intervene, miss this opportunity, may need greater capital and energy to achieve the current effect.

This strengthened Huang Dong's confidence in starting a business, although Sun Bing and Cong Shanshan's advertising company is on the right track, and the monthly income is okay, but it is not his own business after all, and as Du Feng said, the media can't always be in the spring, he can't tie his fate to others, he needs to have a career, like other industry directors, have a career of his own, and support himself to a higher pursuit.

At 12 o'clock, although everyone was still a little unsatisfied, under Du Feng's repeated insistence, they gave up the idea of going to the song hall and went home separately.
