Chapter 439: The Dust Settles
Chapter 439 The dust has settled
1.
This time, Spring did not go with the convoy to see off Japanese friends, but stayed at the "Haitian Hotel".
There are three reasons for this: First, according to the usual practice, only the top leaders of the "four leading groups" of the party and government, the people's congress, and the CPPCC of Hushan Town are qualified to be sent to Hushan Town, and other cadres of Hushan Town and other personnel involved in today's reception work are not among them; second, Zhang Wenkai, director of the "party and government office" of Hushan Town, and Xu Wenkai, deputy mayor in charge of education, want to stay at the "Haitian Hotel" to sign and settle the bill; if Xu Wenkai, deputy mayor of Hushan Town, does not leave, Qian Jin, director of the Education Commission, cannot leave, and Qian Jin, director of the Education Commission, does not dare to leave in the spring. Because Xu Wenkai is the direct leader of Qian Jin, and Qian Jin is the direct leader of Spring. After this event, they resumed the one-line contact between them, and rarely had anything to do with other leaders of the Hushan Town Government, and the only one who could decide the fate of a little person like Spring was his immediate boss, so Spring had to wait patiently for Qian Jin's instructions. Third, Xu Wenkai, the deputy mayor of the town, had just made a special confession to the spring and asked him to stay and work with the two clerks of the "Party and Government Office" to clean up the mess of the banquet.
Standing at the entrance of the "Haitian Hotel" and watching the convoy of Japanese people speeding along the smooth and wide asphalt road in the direction of the national highway, spring breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. After more than half a year, the matter of the Yokohama University Love Charity Foundation in Japan was finally settled in a busy day, and all that remained was to wait for the aid funds transferred by the Youth League Committee of Dongzhou City to the Yokohama University Love Charity Foundation on a quarterly basis, so that many students in Toyama Town would benefit.

Standing at the door of the hotel in a daze, Spring was awakened by the greeting of Qian Jin, the director of the Education Commission, and hurriedly turned back into the hotel.
In the "Rose Hall" of the hotel, Director Zhang of the "Party and Government Office", who was drunk, was pinching his waist with his hands and commanding the two staff members of the "Party and Government Office" to clean up the mess of the banquet.
According to Director Zhang's instructions, the staff hurriedly walked between the dining tables and cleaned up the items on the table. As soon as I entered the door in the spring, I heard Director Zhang shouting there: "Open the undrunk liquor and bring it, don't drink the liquor, don't open the beer, don't open the cigarettes, bring the unopened cigarettes, and don't bring all the leftovers..."
When the spring heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, so many good things left over from the banquet were just thrown away? Not to mention anything else, some of the braised duck and braised elbows on the table had only eaten a little, and some of them seemed to have not moved a single chopstick; and the braised prawns and steamed crabs, almost half of which had not been eaten on each table; did they all have to be thrown away? What is this not typical extravagance and waste?
"Director Zhang, do you have to throw all of this away?" Spring swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty. To tell the truth, at the banquet just now, Spring has been busy pouring wine and tea for the other people at the table, and in order not to drink and miss the right thing, Spring is not drinking well and not eating enough. In the spring, I was thinking about coming back and eating a little more pads, pads and stomachs, but who would have thought that Director Zhang would come and throw them all away?
"Yes, why don't you throw it away and keep it?" Director Zhang said without replying, "If you have a dog at home, you can take a little home to feed the dog, and the rest of the restaurant will be disposed of as swill..."
Director Zhang's words made Spring speechless, such a good meal to feed the dogs? Even if you pack it up and take it back to the school to open foreign meat for the students! Spring is a person who is used to living a poor life, and he hates this kind of luxury and waste, but because Director Zhang is the face of the leader of the town government, Spring can only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
At this moment, the waiter of the restaurant walked in with a meal list: "Excuse me, which gentleman is paying the bill? The total amount of food and drinks is 9,370 yuan..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, Spring's head "buzzed", as if someone had been beaten on the head. In the spring, I did not expect that the Japanese delegation of 20 people would spend nearly 10,000 yuan on a reception, and the Japanese only gave 10,000 yuan a year to the students in Hushan Town, and this time it cost more than half of the aid. Alas, how good it would be if the money wasted from eating and drinking was to be used for education in Toyama or for those poor students! Thinking of this, Spring sighed.

"Hmm, I'll come, let's sign the order!" Director Zhang, who was waving his arms and directing the clerks to clean up the wine field, turned around and reached out to take the meal list from the waiter's hand.
"I'm sorry, sir, you need to find our lobby manager to sign the order, we can't be the waiter!" the waitress lowered her head and explained to Director Zhang very carefully.
"Okay, you call your lobby manager over, and say that we are from the Hushan Town Government..." Director Zhang pinched his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand angrily, and the smell of stinky wine hit the waiter's face.
The waitress was speechless and withdrew with a red face. It was this girl who was serving in the "Rose Hall" just now, and these people who were dining were Japanese and police cars, and although the waiters were young, she could also see that these people were not easy to mess with.
After a few minutes, the lobby manager of the restaurant came at a trot. The lobby manager wore a professional skirt and a beautiful bun behind her head, and she looked like a shrewd and capable woman, and she knew that these powerful "soil emperors" were not something to be provoked casually. Just now, she had called the owner of the "Haitian Hotel", and after asking about the situation, the boss instructed not only to ask the leader of the Hushan Town Government to sign the bill, but also to give him two "Taishan" cigarettes. The boss said so, and of course the lobby manager didn't dare to slack off.
Director Zhang signed the lunch list very smoothly, reached out to take the two "Taishan" cigarettes handed over by the waiter, and smiled, Director Zhang didn't expect the owner of the "Haitian Hotel" to be so sensible. Director Zhang feels that through this signing, he will have the opportunity to enjoy the "special service" of "Haitian Hotel" soon.

After packing up the remaining cigarettes and alcohol from the luncheon, in the congratulatory voice of the lobby manager and waiter of the "Haitian Hotel", in the spring, along with Director Zhang, Deputy Mayor Xu and Director of the Education Commission Qian Jin, they got into the elongated white "Jinbei" van of the "Party and Government Office", and the car drove towards Hushan Town in the bumps along the way.
Along the way, the satisfied Director Zhang of the "Party and Government Office" and the deputy mayor Xu who was full of wine and food talked and laughed, but they remained silent in the spring. In the spring, I have been thinking about whether this trip to Toyama Town, the fanfare and extravagant reception of government officials at all levels, is it worth it?
