Of course, Xing Bencai is not qualified to suggest that the minister go to any unit to inspect, Liu Yanping's words can be regarded as saying to the air. Feng Xiaochen, the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info followed Xing Bencai to the jeep, opened the door of the co-pilot, and sat in. Xing Bencai sat in the cab, started the car, and drove away from the compound of the Metallurgical Bureau under the wave of Liu Yanping.

"Director Liu, who is this, here early in the morning?"

A passing worker pointed to the jeep that had gone all the way and asked Liu Yanping.

"It's Xiao Feng, Feng Xiaochen. Do you know, Minister Meng of the Ministry of Coal personally sent someone to pick him up, and I heard that there is important work to be arranged for him to do. Let me tell you, this matter should not be spread casually, lest it have a bad impact. Liu Yanping said to the man seriously.

The man nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, Director Liu, I know." By the way, you just said that Minister Meng sent someone to pick him up, what is the origin of this Xiao Feng, and why does even Minister Meng know him?"

Liu Yanping looked reserved, only looked at the direction of the jeep, and smiled without saying a word. That means, it seems that she is the only one in the world who knows the mystery, and she is a rather disciplined person, and she will not talk nonsense.

In the jeep, Feng Xiaochen swallowed a steamed bun into his stomach in two bites, and then took another steamed bun and handed it to Xing Bencai, saying, "Master Xing, you must not have eaten breakfast either, right? ”

"Thanks, I don't need to. Xing Bencai said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Master Xing, don't be polite to me. You came to pick me up early in the morning, and I didn't even care about a meal, I really can't say it. Come on, come on, two steamed buns are nothing. ”

Xing Bencai smiled and said, "I really don't need to, besides, I can't spare my hands to eat now, or you can put it first." ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's not easy, I'll tear the steamed bun into small pieces and stuff it in your mouth." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xing Ben to agree, so he tore off a piece of steamed bread and handed it over. Xing Bencai half-pushed and half-took it with his mouth, chewing it with a sigh. As Feng Xiaochen said, Xing Ben received an arrangement from the leader of the unit early in the morning to ask him to come to the Metallurgical Bureau to pick up a person named Feng Xiaochen, and said that Minister Meng was in a hurry to see him, so he drove out without even taking care of eating. It is still a long way from the city to the Metallurgical Bureau, and he has long been hungry after this toss. If it weren't for Minister Meng's factors, he really wanted to follow Feng Xiaochen to the cafeteria for breakfast just now.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, and after a while, they ate the four steamed buns separately, and Xing Bencai's opinion of Feng Xiaochen suddenly rose from passerby A to iron buddy. As a driver, he is actually more sensitive to the cold and warm of the world. Among the people who Xing Bencai has picked up, those who are leaders are generally more polite and respect the driver's feelings, while some of the little people around the leaders are cow baking, for fear that people will not know that he has won the attention of the leader. Feng Xiaochen is so young and can be received by the minister, which is very satisfying to the definition of "villain". But not only can he remember to help Xing Bencai bring two steamed buns, but also break them one by one and feed them to him, this is not a villain, but a gentleman.

The jeep drove from the northwest suburbs to the urban area of the capital, and after entering the city, it did not go to Heping Street, where the coal department is located, but drove all the way to the vicinity of Qianmen Street, and turned into a small courtyard. I don't know if the courtyard is a rich man's house before liberation, and it is quite spacious. The gate of the yard was apparently later remodeled to allow for the entry of cars.

Xing Bencai parked the car in the front yard, turned off the fire, and walked towards the backyard with Feng Xiaochen and walked into a matching room. There was a table of eight immortals in the middle of the room, and several people were eating breakfast around the table. Feng Xiaochen looked at it and recognized one of them, it was the old man Meng Fanze who hid his head and shrunk his tail yesterday and refused to reveal that he was the deputy minister.

"Minister Meng, Director of the Cold Factory, Comrade Xiao Feng has received it. Xing Bencai reported to Meng Fanze and a sturdy man next to him. The man looked to be in his early 50s, with a swarthy face, a flat shaved head, and a lean and neat appearance.

Meng Fanze turned his head to look, and greeted with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Feng is here, come and sit down, haven't you had breakfast?" Xiao Xing, you can also sit down and eat, don't be restrained. ”

Xing Bencai hurriedly excused himself and said, "Minister Meng, no need, I have already eaten on the road,...... It was the steamed buns that Xiao Feng bought for me in the canteen of their unit. ”

"Then sit down and eat some more, and drink some millet porridge. Meng Fanze waved his hand and ordered.

Xing Bencai sat down. Feng Xiaochen stepped forward, pretending to be timid, and said to Meng Fanze: "Minister Meng, I'm sorry, I didn't know ...... yesterday."

"What is there to say sorry for?" Meng Fanze glared, "You said it very well, I just told Lao Chang and Lao Leng about you." By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Leng Shanguo, the director of Linbei Heavy Machinery Factory, and this is Chang Genlin, the chief engineer of the Coal Research Institute. You said those things yesterday, but you offended them enough, you can tell me yourself, how to apologize is the most sincere. ”

The strong man Leng Shanguo and another tall and thin man with highly myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose set their eyes on Feng Xiaochen together. Feng Xiaochen turned to them, bowed deeply, and said, "Director Leng, Chief Engineer Chang, I'm sorry, I talked nonsense in front of Minister Meng yesterday, you are all seniors, please forgive me Meng Lang." ”

Chang Genlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not nonsense. I have heard all your valuable opinions from Minister Meng. I share Minister Meng's views and find your views very insightful and worthy of our reference. ”

The strong man Leng Zhiguo had a cold face, looked Feng Xiaochen up and down for a long time, and then said: "Good boy, you are a little bold and dare to talk nonsense in front of Minister Meng." What kind of opinion do you have, Minister Meng and Chang Gong are adults who don't care about villains, and don't care about you in general, don't think you really have much ability. But well, if you have the guts, go to me, and give you a deputy director of the production department, how about it?"

Xing Bencai, who had already sat down and started drinking porridge, raised his head suddenly, looked at Leng Shanguo, and then at Feng Xiaochen, and was a little stupid for a while. The place where they are staying now is the Beijing procurement station of Linbei Heavy Machinery Factory, which is actually equivalent to the Beijing Office, but it is not suitable to make such a title public. Xing Bencai is not Meng Fanze's driver, but the driver of the procurement station, that is, the employee of Linbei Heavy Machinery. He knows how majestic a deputy director is in the factory, and how many years of seniority he needs to be promoted. This Feng Xiaochen and Leng Shanguo had just met, and Leng Shanguo promised to give him the title of deputy director, what kind of rhythm is this.

Feng Xiaochen knew that Leng Shanguo was just giving Meng Fanze face. Meng Fanze praised Feng Xiaochen like a flower, dragged Chang Genlin out of the hospital last night, and ran to the procurement station of Linbei Heavy Machinery to discuss the new plan with Leng Shanguo, and called the driver to pick up Feng Xiaochen early this morning, which shows what status Feng Xiaochen has in Meng Fanze's heart. Leng Shanguo is the leader of a large enterprise, and it is inconvenient to behave too assertively in front of Meng Fanze, he reprimanded Feng Xiaochen with a black face, but in fact, he praised Meng Fanze and did not appear straightforward.

As for the final promise to give Feng Xiaochen the title of deputy director, it was quite tentative. If Meng Fanze felt that it was inappropriate, he would naturally object in some way. On the contrary, if Meng Fanze also thinks it is appropriate, then what does Leng Shanguo have to say. In Xing Bencai's eyes, the position of deputy director is unattainable, and in Leng Shanguo's eyes, isn't he just an ordinary middle-level cadre? If this kid is just an embroidered pillow and useless, he will just be hung up in the future, and such a big factory still lacks the kind of treatment given to him?

Meng Fanze has also been dealing with the grassroots all year round, how can he not understand the meaning of Leng Zhiguo's move. Meng Fanze disapproved of the promotion of Feng Xiaochen to deputy director, but he still wanted to see how Feng Xiaochen would react to such an arrangement. So, he smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Feng Xiaochen, and waited for him to speak.

Feng Xiaochen is a human being in two lives, and he is not a rookie. The officialdom environment in later generations is far more complicated than in the early 80s. People in the 80s were more or less simple-minded, and they were full of flaws even when they set up a game. He is quite conceited about his knowledge and experience, and believes that his future development is far from being limited by the deputy director of the production department of an enterprise, so the conditions opened by Leng Shanguo cannot make him feel impressed at all.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaochen showed a bitter face and said: "Director Leng, if you want to criticize me, just say it, I am really shameless to ridicule me like this." I am just a young man who returned to the city, and my junior high school graduation certificate was also mixed, and I was lucky enough to get to the Metallurgical Bureau, that is, to work in the administrative office. You called me the deputy director, isn't that a slap in the face?"

"Poof!" Chang Genlin couldn't help but laugh first, he pointed at each other with his hands, and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Comrade Xiao Feng, your face has changed too quickly, haven't you? I heard Minister Meng say that yesterday you were so arrogant in front of him, you belittled a bunch of old men to uselessness, and what kind of leadership project did you say. Why did you pretend to be loyal in front of Director Leng?"

"It seems to be loyal, but it's really treacherous and cunning!" Meng Fanze concluded, "This kind of character must not be reused, Director Leng, don't be deceived by him." ”

"Look, the fox's tail has been grabbed by Minister Meng, right? No matter how cunning the fox is, can it escape the eyes of Minister Meng, the old hunter?" He knew that Meng Fanze's words were also going to be said in reverse, and it seemed that Minister Meng did not attach great importance to this young man. Knowing this, Leng Shanguo put away his ridiculous expression and asked seriously:

"Xiao Feng, you said that you only have the culture of graduating from junior high school, how can you understand foreign materials? Also, Minister Meng said that you are also very knowledgeable about industrial technology, could it be that the elders in your family are also industrial?"
