Chapter 041 On the way to give a gift
When the waitress heard that she wanted to buy Cordyceps, she was overjoyed: "What kind of Cordyceps do you want to buy, is the price more affordable or higher?"
Lu Yuan said: "You recommend it to us." ”
The waitress said, "No problem." We have some high-end ones here, I recommend this one, the price of 100 grams is 50,000. If it's mid-range, I recommend this one, the price of 50 grams is twenty-eight thousand. There are also some low-end ones, but if you want to give them to important friends, I don't recommend this one. ”
Lu Yuan asked: "Just now, a customer seems to have bought Cordyceps sinensis, which one did he buy?"
The waitress looked at the payment counter over there and said, "Oh, he bought 50 grams and twenty-eight thousand, which is already very good." You see, here he comes. Or you can ask him. ”
Liang Jian hurriedly said: "No need, thank you, let's think about it again." took Lu Yuan's hand and walked away. ”
The two saw Shi Ning hand over the bill to the waiter in the distance, and led the 50-gram gift box of Tongrentang Cordyceps sinensis away, and lifted it from time to time as they walked, as if they were afraid that the gift box would leak out, and leak the valuable cordyceps sinensis from the bottom.
Lu Yuan said, "How much are you going to buy?"
Liang Jian said: "He buys Cordyceps, and I still buy it, that's not an idiot, I'd rather send money directly." ”
Lu Yuan said: "That's what I mean. Then just send the money, how much you plan to send, and we will pick it up immediately. ”
Liang Jian said: "Send it today? or another day." ”
Lu Yuan grabbed his arm and said, "Since I was a child, my teacher told us that today's work is done today, and successful people are like this." Some opportunities are lost forever if they are not seized. ”
The reason why Liang Jian said that he would not buy Cordyceps sinensis was that he wanted to postpone the gift-giving, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to supervise it so well, so that he had no room for delay.
The two used their credit cards to withdraw 20,000 yuan in cash from the ATM.
Liang Jian has been in the township for so many years, but he has never sent money like this.
Holding a stack of money in his hand, he asked Lu Yuan, "What should I do?"
Lu Yuan: "What should I do?"
Liang Jian: "Is it just like that?"
Lu Yuan: "That's definitely not going to work, at least you have to pack something." ”
Liang Jian: "What do you pack?" Buy a red bag?"
Lu Yuan: "Okay, buy a wedding bag." ”
The two bought a red sealed bag in a small grocery store and stuffed 20,000 yuan into it. 20,000 were stuffed inside, and it was bulging. Lu Yuan put the bag in his hand and turned it upside down: "It's weighty." ”
Liang Jian said again: "Just send a red bag like this, what if he refuses to ask for it?"
Lu Yuan: "That's the same." Under normal circumstances, if you blatantly give money, the leader will not ask for it. Gotta buy something else and put the money in it. Leaders generally open one eye and close one eye, and wait for people to leave before they look. Why don't you buy a fruit basket, the Venerable Master's house, you can't have "banana hands". A fruit basket is not a valuable thing, and it is impossible for him not to accept it. After putting down the fruit basket and leaving, he will look at the money inside, and this is the end of the matter. ”
Liang Jian: "Okay, then let's go buy fruit." ”
The fruit basket was bought. Liang Jian was still squeaking: "Do you have to buy something else?"
Lu Yuan could see that Liang Jian was actually delaying time. Lu Yuan said impatiently: "I don't need anything else, I want you to give me the gift." ”
Liang Jian had no choice, and finally came up with a killer idea: "I don't know where Zhong Tao's family lives!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "You have been working in Shimian Town for so many years, and you don't know where the secretary's family lives, you are a failure enough!"
Liang Jian followed Lu Yuan's words. I don't know where Zhong Tao's family lives, so I definitely can't go. Liang Jian was happy in his heart.
Lu Yuan said: "I knew that you were confused, fortunately, I had already obtained the address of Zhong Tao's house for you in advance." ”
Liang Jian was surprised: "How did you get it?" ”
Lu Yuan said: "I asked Wang Qiaoling to help." Didn't she know Jiang Yan, head of the Cadres Section of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee? The Cadre Section is in charge of the personal information of the cadres of the whole district, and it is not easy to get Zhong Tao's home address! But in order to get this address, I promised to owe Wang Qiaoling and Jiang Yan a meal and to pay it back. ”
"Jiang Yan, is that the senior brother of Jiangzhong University you are talking about?" Liang Jian asked.
Lu Yuan: "That's right. ”
"Oh. Liang Jian thought of Yu Yue in the secretary department of the district party committee, she was his junior sister.
The title of senior brother and junior sister originally had an ambiguous component. Liang Jian didn't know what the relationship between Jiang Yan and his wife Lu Yuan was.
Lu Yuan interrupted his train of thought: "Hurry up, it's too late, and the leaders of the people also have to rest." ”
Looking at the address obtained from the Organization Department of the District Party Committee, according to the map, the two came to the Shuihuafu Community. Shuihua Mansion is a high-end residential area in Jingzhou City, where people live either high-ranking officials or businessmen, except for those who have money, they have the right and have the right to money. The property management of the community was strict, and the two said the address and the name of the owner's house, and the security guard let them go, and told them not to park the car casually.
The car drove into the community and finally came to the bottom of a building. By the way, this is it.
Lu Yuan: "You go up, I'll stay in the car, and there will be security guards to urge the car to drive away, I can explain in the car." ”
Liang Jian: "Then I'll go up and come down immediately." ”
Liang Jian got out of the car empty-handed.
Lu Yuan hurriedly shouted to him: "Liang Jian, things, you don't bring things, what are you going to do!"
Liang Jian smiled bitterly: "I forgot." ”
Lu Yuan: "You can forget everything, you can't forget things." If you don't give something as a gift, really. ”
Lu Yuan looked at Liang Jian from the car and walked towards the security door of the corridor. I thought, how can this Liang Jian not be born as a gift-giver! Mixed in officialdom, to put it bluntly, he can't give gifts, he just can't be an official. Lu Yuan really doubted whether Liang Jian could mix in the officialdom.
In fact, Liang Jian is not unkind of giving gifts. When he followed Huang Shaohua, the secretary of the party committee of the former town, he celebrated the New Year's holidays and gave gifts to superior leaders and superior departments from time to time. Tea is sent when the tea is on the market, bamboo shoots are sent when the bamboo shoots are listed, cigarettes and wine are sent during the New Year's Festival, local products are sent when the leaders come up to check, and the card of the Jingzhou Building is usually sent when there is something to ask the superior for help and it is not a festival. The key is to see, to whom and for what.
Etiquette is a common practice in officialdom, and everyone is used to it. But there are also two major difficulties in giving gifts, one is that some gifts can not be given in clear regulations, such as giving gifts when selecting and appointing cadres, giving them well can help you soar, and if you don't give them well, they can send you into the abyss. The second is to give it to someone who is obviously not interested in you. It's so weird in officialdom, sometimes you know that the other party is not good to you, but you have to be cheeky to give gifts to the other party. The key is in the word "profit", although the other party is not interested in you, and you are not interested in the other party, but the other party is powerful and good for your interests, you have to give gifts. This kind of gift is not easy to give, and people accept it when it is given well, and they have changed their previous attitude towards you, and if they don't give it well, it is equivalent to giving a handle in the hands of others.
The reason why Liang Jian is very unhappy with this gift is that he feels that giving a gift to Zhong Tao meets all the above two difficulties. He vaguely felt that this gift was a bit fierce and unlucky.
I pressed the number of Zhong Tao's house on the security door, and a bell rang inside.
Zhong Tao and his wife are at home, and their daughter is doing homework in her room. said he was doing homework, but he was actually chatting with a male classmate on QQ.
Zhong Tao's wife Ma Laidi said impatiently: "Why are the people who come to our house knocking on the door one after another in the past two days, just now the young man from your unit, Shi Ning, has been here, and he has only been walking for two minutes, why are there people knocking on the door again." ”
Zhong Tao lay on the sofa and said: "There is no way in the past few days, we are engaged in middle-level competition for posts, and the people who come hope that your husband will promote him, so you can bear with it in the past two days!"
Ma Laidi: "Okay, just bear with it." ”
Ma Lai Di said this, and it was too late to be happy. As long as someone enters the house, they either give gifts or money. She suddenly felt that her husband, who became the secretary of the town party committee, was more respected than before, and the family's expenses were more relaxed than before. This is for the future of my daughter. She knows that her baby daughter is very playful, her grades are not good, and she may not be able to achieve something big in the future, so it is up to their parents to think more about her future. In the past few years, she has been the party secretary and bought her a house, at least there will be no place to live in the future. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
Ma Laidi saw a young man from the video of the security door call system, and he didn't know him, so he said to Zhong Tao: "A young man, I don't know." ”
"You ask him who he is. Zhong Tao said.
Ma Laidi: "Who are you?"
Liang Jian said: "My name is Liang Jian, and I belong to the town government. ”
Ma Laidi said to Zhong Tao: "It's called Liang Jian." Little young. ”
"Liang Jian?" Zhong Tao frowned, thinking, why did he come.
"Or say you're not there. Ma Lai Di said.
"Wait. Zhong Tao's frowning brows widened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let him come up." ”
The security door opens and closes.
The sensor lights in the hallway lit up all of a sudden.
Liang Jian noticed a small object on the side of the stairs, and someone threw it there. This is a small booklet. Liang Jian picked it up and looked at the handwriting on the cover: Pocket Handbook of Eugenics.
It turned out to be a family planning brochure, about the size of a 100-yuan bill.
Liang Jian thought, he and Lu Yuan don't have children yet, so it's okay to pick them up and rummage through them casually. So he carried the booklet in his arms.
Zhong Tao's family lives on the fifth floor, which is a double-story house, which is equivalent to a two-story house, and the area has reached 200 square meters. As Liang Jian walked upstairs, he took out a brochure from time to time to take a look, but in fact, he didn't see anything. It's nothing more than stalling for time.
The phone rang suddenly. Lu Yuan called to urge him.
Liang Jian picked it up and said, "It's coming soon." ”
Lu Yuan's voice in the mobile phone: "You should have arrived a long time ago, you can climb the fifth floor in a longer time than climbing a mountain." ”
Liang Jian said, "Don't worry, it's coming soon, I'll hang up first." ”
