Chapter 283: The National People's Congress
The next day, the fifth day of the first lunar month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At 9 o'clock, Mu Dong rushed to the sub-district office.
The level of the sub-district office is similar to that of a large township, and there are only three deputies to the municipal people's congress in the whole street.
There were about twenty or thirty deputies to the Municipal People's Congress in the entire development zone, and everyone filled out the forms in turn and received a certificate of attendance for tomorrow's National People's Congress, a briefcase similar to a computer bag, and a glass teacup.
What amused Mu Dong was that the teacup was marked by the logo of an insurance company.
Immediately, the preparatory meeting was held, which was presided over by Secretary Liu of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone.
Secretary Liu expounded on the positive significance of the NPC to be held tomorrow, explained the heavy responsibilities shouldered by the deputies, and finally announced the discipline of the meeting.
Yes, the Municipal People's Congress has strict meeting discipline.
For example, closed management, not free to go out, not to ask for leave at will, not to accept media interviews at will;
Another example is to dress solemnly and generously, to be active in group discussions, to be objective and rational in approving reports, and to highlight the intentions of the organizers in elections and voting.
Listening to it, Mu Dong felt a little helpless in his heart, and the fanaticism in his heart was much less.
Finally, the discipline of the meeting was emphatically announced, and it was strictly forbidden to bribe votes and canvass for votes, and it was strictly forbidden to accept money or property from other deputies.
The preparatory meeting was over, and Mu Dongchang let out a long breath and walked out of the conference room.
Ma Lianguang, the owner of the Halal Meat Factory, a representative of the ethnic minority who was sitting on his right side during the meeting, hurriedly chased him out.
"Boss Mu, Brother Mu, wait for me, I will discuss with you. ”
Mu Dong stopped and asked, "Boss Ma, do you have any advice?"
Ma Lianguang looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk, Boss Mu, my brother invites you to lunch, halal food, and enjoy the light?"
Ma Lianguang is in his 40s, tall and burly. He is an old representative of the past, knows some of Mu Dong's deeds, and is also happy to make friends with young talents like Mu Dong.
Mu Dong smiled: "I'll still call you Brother Ma, Brother Ma, you are old and qualified, or let me invite?"
Ma Lianguang laughed heartily: "Brother Mu, yes, refreshing! But I still invite you to dinner, you may have heard just now, I am a representative of an ethnic minority, a Hui people." I can't go to an ordinary restaurant, I'll take you to a halal restaurant and eat a whole sheep feast, how about it?"
Mu Dong was not hypocritical, and agreed to come down. As a new deputy, he also needs the guidance of the old deputies.
The two got into the car separately, and Mu Dong found out that Ma Lianguang's car was a Range Rover.
Range Rover led the way, and the A6 followed, and the two cars turned around to a small village and entered a halal restaurant. Ma Lianguang introduced that this is his hometown, a village inhabited by Hui people.
Soon, a roasted golden lamb was served, and the waiter simply divided it with a knife, and everyone began to feast.
There is no alcohol, and the most well-behaved halal restaurants are forbidden to drink alcohol.
Mu Dong quickly ate half full and began to drink tea. Fang Jiandong ate with a mouth full of oil, and couldn't help but admire.
Seeing this, Ma Lianguang said, "Brother Mu, the two of us are the representatives of the businessmen of the group, I want to discuss with you, what kind of gift is appropriate?"
What kind of gift? Mu Dong looked confused.
Ma Lianguang said: "Brother Mu, you are a new representative, you may not know, ordinary businessman representatives, to prepare some small gifts for other representatives in the same group. ”
Mu Dong was shocked: "Brother Ma, don't scare me, the discipline of the meeting was announced just now, and the most important thing is to prohibit bribery and accept property." ”
Ma Lianguang said with a smile: "Brother Mu, we don't run for election, what kind of bribery is it, you think too much." Also, there is no need to prepare any expensive finances, just a few hundred dollars, only for the representatives of the same group, that is, to be familiar, which is also an old rule under the table. ”
Mu Dong asked suspiciously: "Then for example, our group, Secretary Liu, who spoke today, will he ask for something if we give something?"
Ma Lianguang said: "Of course we will, we are not bribing him, just a small gift." ”
Mu Dong was silent for a long time, and then he asked, "Brother Ma, has it always been like this before?"
"yes, it's been like this for the past few years. ”
"And what are you going to send this year?"
"I'm going to send a pick-up card per person, 20 catties of beef, why don't I discuss it with you, what the two of us give, don't be too much different. Otherwise, we both don't look good. ”
Mu Dong thought for a moment and said: "Brother Ma, this is a trivial matter, and I don't have much money, but I am a new representative and have no experience, I need to think about it, what is the right thing to send, and I will call you when I think about it, okay?"
Ma Lianguang said with a smile: "No problem, but Brother Mu, this matter has to be decided this afternoon, you have to do it as soon as possible." ”
Mu Dong agreed, he had no desire to eat meat again, and when Fang Jiandong was full, he said goodbye and left.
In the car, Mu Dong called Zhang Jishun and asked about the authenticity of the incident.
Although Zhang Jishun was elected as a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress for the first time, he had always been a deputy to the County People's Congress before and knew this matter very well.
He said: "Brother Mu, it's like this now, you don't have to send anything valuable, one or two hundred is fine, three or five hundred is fine, but don't go thousands, I plan to send two boxes of black garlic and two packs of barley tea per person, my group, there are 33 people, count it, it's only one or two thousand." ”
Mu Dong's heart was completely cold, he finally understood that in the next few years, why did the big boss start to fight corruption so strictly, and began to strictly control eating, drinking and giving gifts, it turned out that the problem was really serious.
What now? to send or not to send?
Mu Dong was embarrassed.
Mu Dong wanted to ask Liu Jingyun, but later gave up the idea. It's too small to really be worth opening your mouth.
Mu Dong finally decided: Send it with Ma Lianguang.
He called Ma Lianguang.
"Brother Ma, I thought about it for a while, let's send it with you. You also have mutton in the meat factory, right? You send 20 catties of beef, I will simply send 20 catties of mutton. In this way, it is also convenient for everyone to pick up the goods. Well, you also helped me send the pick-up card to everyone, I don't know everyone well. When you say hello, the beef is counted as your gift, and the mutton is counted as my delivery. You calculate how much money, and I'll call you later. ”
Ma Lianguang quickly called back, the wholesale price of mutton is 19 yuan a catty, there are a total of 26 representatives in the group, he and Mu Dong don't have to send each other, and there are 24 people, a total of 9,120 yuan, and he only collects the whole number of 9,000 yuan.
Mu Dong smiled and thanked him and hung up the phone.
When he got home, Mu Dong turned on the computer, logged in to the online banking of the Bank of China, and transferred 9,000 yuan to Ma Lianguang.
At this time, Boss Mu remembered that the pending order transaction set up a few days ago should have been completed long ago. Alas, this year, every day I wake up drunk and drunk, and I even forget about the gold transaction.
He logged in to the paper gold account, and that's right, the pending order has been reached, and the funds in the account have turned 386 million into 398 million, earning 12 million.
Well, the money for bonuses to employees and the money for buying Daben by myself a few years ago can be regarded as earned.
After turning off the computer, Mu Dong went to ask Xiao Xiao if he had checked his gold account.
Xiao Xiao exclaimed, and quickly opened her laptop to check, and she forgot about her feelings.
It seems that the warm atmosphere of the New Year will make people relax and forget some things.
After a while, Xiao Xiao put down the computer and said to Mu Dong happily: "Husband, the pending order transaction was successful, I earned 160,000 yuan, and now I have 5.31 million yuan." ”
……
In the evening, Wang Xinlan called, saying that she was ready to return to the United States, and said that she would like to thank Mu Dong for giving her a holiday and letting her enjoy the taste of the New Year that she had not experienced for a long time.
At dinner, Mu Dong and his family discussed the matter of returning to Quancheng.
Because the Municipal People's Congress was going to hold a closed meeting for three days, Mu Dong wanted his family to return to Quancheng first, and he went back directly after the meeting.
However, Mu Ma and Xiao Xiao insisted on staying in their hometown, and when the meeting was over and they returned together, Mu Dad's didn't care, and in the end, Mu Dong could only fulfill the thoughts of his mother and daughter-in-law.
Xiao Xiao said that at noon, his sister Mu Xiaoxia, Mu Daodao, Lin Xiaoyuan and Xie Donglin came to Mu Dong to say goodbye, and learned that Mu Dong had gone out for a meeting and they had returned to Quancheng.
Tomorrow is the sixth day of the new year, which is the day when the company starts work, and the company meeting on the sixth day of the new year was originally booked, but now it can only wait after the people's congress.
Mu Dong took out his mobile phone and called Faye Wong and Liu Fangfei, saying that the company's meeting was postponed to the tenth day of the first month, but fortunately, this time it was only a meeting of the management headquarters, and it was more convenient to postpone it.
At six o'clock the next morning, Mu Dong rushed to the residence of the delegation of the development zone of the National People's Congress, and at a hotel run by an insurance company, Mu Dong also understood why there was an insurance company's logo on the cups issued.
After checking in, Mu Dong went directly to his room, a double standard room, the conditions were okay, and Ma Lianguang was in the same room.
As for Fang Jiandong, Mu could only let him drive home, and the conference team did not arrange accommodation for the driver.
Everyone put down their simple luggage, went to the restaurant for breakfast, and then got on the bus arranged by the conference affairs team, and drove by the police car to the main venue - the Municipal People's Hall, two kilometers away.
In the morning, delegations met in groups to review some of the draft meetings.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in the majestic national anthem, the conference officially began.
Mu Dong was very fresh at first, and soon he found that it was a bit boring, and it felt like going to college and taking big classes.
A leader who gives a presentation is like a professor who gives a lecture. The meeting materials in your hand are like handouts. The same is true of listening to a report and listening to a lecture, drowsy.
Of course, I don't dare to sleep, because there is still a difference between the venue and the classroom, and the biggest difference is that from time to time there are cameras sweeping over the venue, not only can you not sleep, but it is a luxury to play with your mobile phone.
Why did he still think of going to a big class, it was too unserious, Mu Dong despised himself a little, he quickly put away his mind and looked at the information in his hand intently.
