Chapter 245: Dinner
Chapter 245: Dinner
The official level crushes people to death, which can be said to be a clear rule of national officialdom since ancient times. Mobile
The existing cadre system has led to the long-standing existence of the phenomenon of "official position," in which everyone only listens and obeys. In officialdom, the administrative level determines the allocation of resources and power, and almost all officials regard the promotion of rank and position as the goal of professional struggle, and everyone follows the rules and abides by the customs of officialdom, and does not dare to go beyond the slightest step.
Ordinary people have long been surprised by this phenomenon, but what they see is only superficial things, that is, the phenomenon of people with great power and people with little power prevailing in the same level of government, between principal posts and deputy posts, between bureau level and department level, or between different levels of government that have a direct subordinate relationship, such as between county and city levels and between city and provincial levels.
Only those officials who are really mixed with officialdom and have reached a certain height can see something deeper. They all know very well in their hearts that many times, not people with high official positions and great power will necessarily be able to suppress the officials below, and there will be more complex relationships involved, like in the Fengcheng officialdom now, although Chen Datong is only the deputy mayor at the bottom of the ranking, but the powerful and domineering mayor Zheng Jiaxiong does not dare to dictate to Chen Datong like other local officials, because he has always been afraid of the relationship behind Chen Datong. This can also be said to be another unspoken rule of "crushing people to death at the level of officials" in the officialdom of the country.
Therefore, Chen Datong's status in the current Fengcheng officialdom is a little detached, and he does not need to act in the eyes of others everywhere and everywhere, and many times he can also speak up and adhere to his own principles, and he does not disdain to use the little power in his hand to seek personal interests for himself, and there is no benefit transfer with the local businessman boss, he sits up straight, acts rightly, and is not worried about being caught.
The two bosses surnamed Zheng mentioned by He Yuan in his office this afternoon had twice warmly invited him to attend the dinner, and Chen Datong casually made excuses to shirk it, although he knew that these two men had a close relationship with Zheng Jiaxiong, but he really didn't need to get close to them, let alone open the back door for them.
Since coming to Fengcheng to take office, in addition to the normal banquet reception of the municipal government, Chen Datong has really not participated in a private banquet, and today it is because He Yuan and Qin Xiaohua came to visit him that he readily agreed to meet and eat with everyone.
After getting off work, Chen Datong asked the driver to take him home, and then asked his wife Deng Xiaoqin to drive his own Honda Accord to He Yuan and them.
Wu Jiming prepared the largest and most luxurious private room for everyone today, in addition to a dining room, there is also a tea room. Wu Jiming originally wanted to go downstairs to greet Mayor Chen, He Yuan said that Chen Datong has always disliked Zhang Yang, and he had already told him the address and private room, and everyone was waiting while drinking tea in the private room.
When Chen Datong and Deng Xiaoqin walked into the door of the private room under the leadership of the waiter, Qin Xiaohua and Zhou Yuanma walked forward, holding Deng Xiaoqin's hand from left to right, "Sister Qin, I can see you, our three sisters haven't seen each other for three years, right?"
"Xiaohua, it's okay to say, you didn't come to Fengcheng to see me next time. Deng Xiaoqin said angrily.
"I had affairs on my side, and I was short of time, so I only had time to go to the Datong office to meet him in a hurry. This time, I will make up for it and pull Zhou Yuan over to see you. Qin Xiaohua said with a smile, and pulled Deng Xiaoqin to the big coffee table and sat down.
He Yuan had already pulled Chen Datong over, introduced Cao Xu, Li Wan, and Ding Rong one by one, and patted Wu Jiming on the shoulder and said: "Datong, this is today's landlord Mr. Wu." Mr. Wu is a famous porcelain sand boss in Fengcheng, and he opened this KTV. Together with Xiaohua and Mr. Lin, I am cooperating with Mr. Wu's company to undertake the Luyang River remediation project in Yangzhou. This time, Mr. Wu was also warmly invited to come to Fengcheng to see the investment environment. ”
Wu Jiming hurriedly shook hands with Chen Datong and said, "Hello Mayor Chen, you call me Xiao Wuxing." I haven't had a chance to visit you, but today I finally met with Mayor Chen. ”
Chen Datong smiled and said, "Mr. Wu is polite. Hey, it's such a strong tea fragrance, it should be the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, right?"
Qin Xiaohua beckoned to him and said with a smile: "Datong is still good at tea ceremony, come here, I brewed it myself, the special red robe that Mr. Wu treasured." ”
Chen Datong was also not polite, walked over and took a sip of the teacup, "Yes, it's a big red robe, the tea is unique, sweet and delicious." Xiaohua's tea-making skills seem to have reached a higher level. ”
The coffee table was already a super large coffee table, but there were still not so many people sitting around, He Yuan beckoned: "Let's go to the dining room first, let's let the ladies taste tea first." ”
Wu Jiming also hurriedly ordered the waiter to share the food and drink.
Chen Datong inquired in detail about He Yuan's situation in Yangzhou, and said that he would find a time to visit Secretary Jiang, and learned that He Yuan and Lin Qiang jointly established a trendy brand real estate company, and also took the lead in launching a hardcover house in Yangzhou, Chen Datong smiled and said to Lin Qiang: "I heard Xiaohua say that Mr. Lin, your company has opened an overall home improvement hall in Fengcheng, and the response is very good." As far as I know, Fengcheng has no real estate dedicated hardcover houses now, when will Mr. Lin return to his hometown to promote it?"
"Mayor Chen, the home improvement hall was invested by our company and Mr. Wu, and this time I came to Fengcheng to learn more about the property market here. Lin Qiang said, seeing that Qin Xiaohua and the others also came into the dining room, he pointed to Li Wan and said, "This is the general manager of our new trendy brand real estate company." ”
Li Wan owed a debt and nodded at Chen Datong with a smile.
"It's not easy for Mr. Li to be in charge of a real estate company at such a young age. Chen Datong said: "The real estate development in Fengcheng has been very fast in the past two years, especially the real estate development on both sides of the Beijiang River is very hot, do you and Xiaogang have any plans to come to Fengcheng to develop?"
"Xiao Gang just talked to me on the phone in the afternoon, saying that his villa in Baiteng Lake has been completed and put on sale, and it is difficult to get a good land in Zhuhai. ”
"The city is planning a university town opposite the White Temple Wharf, although the final plan has not yet been decided, but the city has held meetings and discussed it many times, and the focus of urban construction in Fengcheng City will definitely shift to that side in the future. Xiaohua, you said this time, you have a river sand field on the other side of the Baimiao Wharf, right?" Chen Datong said.
Wu Jiming suddenly realized, no wonder the two men surnamed Zheng remembered their land so much.
"Yes, we also built the river sand field with Mr. Wu, and we have been providing river sand to the construction site of your urban and rural construction department. Qin Xiaohua thought for a while and said: "Mr. Wu has more than 300 acres of land at Baimiao Wharf, and he has paid the rent for 30 years at a time a few years ago, and later completed the procedures for changing the land use, and only needs to pay the corresponding land money according to the regulations to be used for real estate development." ”
"Yes, Mr. Wu has a good business vision, and a few years ago he was optimistic about the development of Baimiao Wharf. Chen Datong said.
Wu Jiming smiled a little embarrassedly, and quickly looked at He Yuan and Qin Xiaohua, unable to decide whether to tell Chen Datong about his current situation, seeing Lin Qiang glaring at him, he shook his head, and remained silent.
He Yuan picked up his wine glass and said, "We haven't been sitting and eating together for a long time, come, Datong, Xiaoqin, how about having a drink today." ”
Lin Qiang also picked up the wine glass with everyone, fortunately he saw that Chen Datong and He Yuan just took a sip very casually, and no one present took a sip of the wine, but he was relieved, so he also took a sip and put the wine glass down.
"Datong, Xiaohua told me just now that she and Zhou Yuan, Mr. Ding, and Mr. Wu are planning to change the KTV on the third floor of this place into the first high-end fitness club in Fengcheng, and there will be slimming yoga, beauty spa and dry and wet saunas, and then our three sisters can get together often. Deng Xiaoqin said excitedly.
Chen Datong shook his head with a smile and said, "When you women hear what slimming yoga and beauty spa, they are excited and excited. ”
Deng Xiaoqin glared at him and said, "You should exercise more, you look at you and Yuan, the little belly has grown, and if you don't exercise, you will soon become a general's belly." ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and the atmosphere of the dinner was more casual and harmonious. In the meantime, Wu Jiming took the opportunity to go out and called the owner of the most famous tea shop in Fengcheng City, asking him to send someone to quickly send two cans of the top Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao.
The dinner ended at nine o'clock in the evening, and Lin Qiang found that several big men didn't even finish a bottle of Moutai, and Qin Xiaohua and her ladies only drank half a bottle of red wine.
When Chen Datong and Deng Xiaoqin were about to say goodbye and go downstairs, Wu Jiming took two cans of tea and said: "Mayor Chen, a friend brought a few cans of tea a few days ago, Mayor Chen is a tea ceremonyman, these two cans of Dahong Pao will be taken back for you to taste." ”
Chen Datong frowned: "Mr. Wu, ----- you are?"
He Yuan took the tea in one hand and said with a smile: "Datong, you don't have to be polite to Mr. Wu, he often has friends here to send tea." Let's go, I'll take you downstairs. ”
