Saying that, it is even more difficult to really implement it, and the first person to refuse is He Baoguo. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
The Chen family booked three tables at the District Guest House, only planning to invite some close relatives and friends to get together casually and be happy, but things often do not develop as expected, especially the current status of the Chen family. There is no shortage of smart people in China, ordinary people do wine, they are not invited, and they are worried about giving gifts, on the contrary, many people who know that the fourth child of the Chen family has been admitted to the capital university and wants to hold a wine at the State Guest House, they have come uninvited.
He Baoguo is a person who must be invited, and with such a relationship between the two families, He Baoguo will definitely come, and Liang Minkuan, secretary of the municipal party committee, was not notified before, but the two of them came together.
"Lao Chen, you are too uninteresting, I am uninvited, just come to ask for a glass of water and wine, don't you welcome", in the lobby rest area of the hotel, Chen Qigang took the protagonist Chen Mei to receive two guests, and Liang Minkuan took the initiative to take the initiative when he took the lead.
"Secretary Liang, it's too much to say this, of course you are welcome. I didn't think about how many people I had to invite before, mainly some relatives and friends, plus you are busy with work, and the city is far away from here, so it is not good to delay you," Chen Qigang explained.
"You, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to rest, today I will rest, besides, Mayor He is not busy? He is busier than me!", Liang Minkuan said with a smile.
Liang Minkuan is in charge of party affairs, He Baoguo is in charge of the economy, at present, the economic construction of Liushuipan is making great strides, there are many ongoing projects, and there are more projects to be prepared in advance, He Baoguo, the mayor, is indeed busier than Secretary Liang, but the Chen family invited He Baoguo, mainly not because he is the mayor, but because he is a family relationship with the Chen family.
"Secretary Minkuan, you can't use me as a shield," He Baoguo complained with a smile.
"I'm seeking truth from facts, Lao Chen, if there is anything in the future, say it, ah", Liang Minkuan's last few words were very cordial, and he felt like a very cordial friend.
The reason why Liang Minkuan wants to do everything possible to pull in the relationship with the Chen family is Chen Kangjie, from the beginning of the year Chen Kangjie accompanied the old man on his trip to the south, it can be seen that Chen Kangjie is very valued by the high-level, because of this, he knows very well that the future road of the Chen family will be very far. If there are good resources in front of you and you don't get closer, then you are really willing to seek the near and far, and you have no eyes.
"Eh, okay, thank you Secretary Liang", Chen Qigang said emotionally. 4∴⑧065
"Xiaoxiang, come, this is a gift from Uncle He, I wish you every step in your studies", He Baoguo finally brought the topic to the main point.
Chen Mei looked at Chen Qigang and didn't know whether to take the small brocade box handed over by He Baoguo.
"Baoguo, what is this for? Didn't you say it in advance, you don't accept any gifts, why are you still playing with this hand?", Chen Qigang pushed He Baoguo's hand back.
"I'm not giving it to you, am I still bribing you? You can't accept other people's gifts, you can't accept mine, Xiaoxiang, take it, don't care about your father's", He Baoguo stood up, didn't care about Chen Qigang at all, and directly stuffed the small brocade box into Chen Mei's hand.
"What are you...... Eh, Uncle He will send you, just take it", Chen Qigang was very helpless.
Chen Mei opened the brocade box and saw that inside was a piece of yùpei, which was very thin, with a "Wen" character engraved on the front and a "Xiu" character on the back, indicating that the writing was excellent. Given to the juniors of high school, it is natural to have the taste of some books, of course, only those who have a heart will be so not cheesy, and this kind of atmosphere has developed to the future, and everyone will simply send money.
"Lao He, this is too precious, isn't it?", seeing that it was such a gift, Chen Qigang felt that it was a little too heavy.
"You can rest assured, compared to the gift given to us by Xiaojie, it is not worth mentioning, the tea is 20,000 catties, what is this, not to mention, this is my salary bought, clean", He Baoguo said indifferently.
"Of course I know it's clean, but I just said that I won't accept gifts, so you will give me such a show", Chen Qigang shook his head and said.
He Wanrong is in Hong Kong and earns tens of millions of dollars a year, and both families know it, so He Baoguo will not accept that unclean money. Now that it's all collected, what else can I do, I can't go back.
After He Baoguo's gift was received, it was now Liang Minkuan's turn, and he also took out a small brocade box from his body, "Xiaoxiang, come, this is given to you by Uncle He, I wish you a smooth and smooth life at Capital University, and make progress every day."
"Secretary Liang, no, no, no, you are very welcome to have a glass of water and wine, if you also give gifts, it will be too much", Chen Qigang hurriedly stopped Liang Minkuan.
"Lao Chen, I'm the same as Baoguo, I didn't give it to you, besides, Baoguo accepted it, if I don't accept me, where will I put my face?", Liang Minkuan learned from He Baoguo, and pulled away Chen Qigang's hand.
"It's hard for me to do this!", Chen Qigang was really embarrassed.
"What's so difficult about this, Xiaoxiang can be admitted to Capital University, that is to win glory for our city, it stands to reason that we should be rewarded, not to mention that she called me "Uncle Liang" just now, shouldn't the elders have some encouragement and expression?", Liang Minkuan first said the truth, and then talked about sī love.
didn't get Chen Qigang's nod, Chen Mei didn't dare to accept Secretary Liang's gift, and Liang Minkuan praised her for being admitted to Capital University, but he himself knew that it must be the result of his younger brother's help, so the scene was a little embarrassing.
"Wow, there are gifts to receive, Dad, there are a lot of guests over there", Chen Kangjie finally came out from the side.
Just now, Chen Kangjie received a few friends he knew, Ouyang Zhenhua, Luo Zirong, Liu Kai, Lu Xiang, etc., and later some officials came, such as Gao Junping, director of the District Public Security Bureau, Luo Zirong, Qiu Yi, etc., so Chen Kangjie came to sue Chen Qigang.
"Xiaojie, come on, come on, you send it, should Uncle Liang's gift be accepted", Liang Minkuan beckoned Chen Kangjie over.
"Well, I'll take a look at the gift first", Chen Kangjie smiled and took the brocade box.
When I opened it, there was a bookmark inside, but unlike ordinary bookmarks, this was a gold sè, and the workmanship was very jīng, one end was square, the other end was oval, and the middle could be popped open to clamp the pages, which were printed with chūn orchid and "Qin Yuan chūn". Snow".
"Uncle Liang, you don't want to sue me that this is made of gold, right? If so, then you must not accept it", Chen Kangjie asked Liang Minkuan with a smile while handing me a very good bookmark.
"I don't have that much money, it's solid tin foil, and the surface is coated with a layer of gold powder to prevent it from becoming sei."
"In this case, it's just an ordinary bookmark, I think it's no problem", Chen Kangjie didn't want to refute Liang Minkuan's face, so he said lightly.
"Old Chen, look, you don't understand as much as your son", Liang Minkuan laughed and joked with Chen Qigang's father and son.
"Then you can accept it", his son said so, what else could Chen Qigang say, he could only let Chen Mei accept another gift.
"Thank you, Uncle Liang", after Chen Mei took the gift, she politely thanked her, when Chen Kangjie played with this bookmark just now, Chen Mei liked it very much, she actually liked it very much.
"By the way, Uncle Liang, I went out this time and brought some Wuyi mountain tea back, I'll wrap some for you later, go back and taste it", Chen Kangjie This is a gift exchange, and the value and price of the gifts sent out are higher.
Liang Minkuan didn't expect Chen Kangjie to change hands and play such a hand, "You kid, so good, then I can be considered lucky, I can listen to your godfather say that the tea you sent is 20,000 catties."
"Tea is tea, used to drink, as for how much a catty, it doesn't matter, for people who love tea, it is comparable to a thousand gold, for people who don't understand tea, that is a few leaves", tea is originally a very elegant gift, so Chen Kangjie's words should dilute the worldliness of price.
"It makes sense, it seems that I came to the right place this time and took advantage of it", Liang Minkuan shook his head and said with a wry smile......
After Chen Qigang chatted with He Baoguo and Liang Minkuan for a few words, he had to get up and greet the other guests.
As a result, the biggest headache that Chen Qigang faced was that everyone came with gifts, no one was empty-handed, even Ouyang Zhenhua and they were like this, and what was barely acceptable was that no one sent money, all of them were small gifts related to learning, pens, jīng books, etc., and someone actually gave paperweights, Chen Mei didn't learn calligraphy at all, I really don't know what to do with this thing, I guess I thought Chen Qigang's calligraphy was good, and their sons would also like calligraphy, especially the outstanding students who can be admitted to Capital University。
Everyone has a bunch of reasons to give gifts, some Chen Qigang can refuse, and some are very difficult to refuse, such as the most expensive gift given by Ouyang Zhenhua, a Vacheron Constantin JĪNG NV watch, the price is more than 400,000, it stands to reason that such a gift is absolutely unacceptable, but Chen Kangjie's refusal does not work.
Chen Kangjie is the boss and can order Ouyang Zhenhua to do all the things at work, but people just want to give gifts, and the boss is all for nothing, so the original rule of never accepting gifts is actually useless, and even the gifts of Qiu Yi, Luo Zirong and others have been accepted.
Of course, those who can be gifted show that they have a very good relationship, and they have begun to become hardcore in the future or now, such as Luo Zirong, Qiu Yi, Gao Junping, etc., who have been very close to He Baoguo and Chen Qigang. As for the many admirers, drinks can be provided, gifts are free, the original order was three tables, but the result was nòng to ten tables, most of them are cadres at all levels in the district, and Chen Qigang has a working relationship, so they can only be greeted.
Like Liang Minkuan, whoever receives a gift will give a certain amount of return gift, and the price will often be higher, anyway, Chen Kangjie's family has a lot of gifts, as for Ouyang Zhenhua, it is not necessary, Chen Kangjie has already returned the gift.
