Song Yu was very efficient, and after Chen Lu contacted him, Song Yu appeared in Chen Qingdong's office that afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What Chen Qingdong didn't expect was that Tang Xudong also appeared here with Chen Qingdong.

After Chen Qingdong shook hands with Song Yu and Tang Xudong, he sat down as the host and guest.

Chen Qingdong heard that Tang Xudong has left the agency since the last accident, and he doesn't know where he went, but when he saw Tang Xudong here today, his complexion was not bad, he was very energetic in a suit and leather shoes, and it seemed that Tang Xudong should be okay.

After Chen Qingdong handed them cigarettes, he said with a smile: "Two brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, I see that your complexion is much better than before." ”

Tang Xudong smiled bitterly: "No, age is not forgiving, in recent times, I obviously feel that my spirit is not as good as before, and it is really not good to disobey old age." ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Director Tang is joking, Director Tang is now in his prime, and it is the time when he has the best energy, how can he say that he is old now?"

Tang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Secretary Chen, the words 'Director Tang' can't be mentioned anymore in the future, and now I am not a person in the system." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said: "I heard that Director Tang is doing business now? Hehe, this is also very good! Now that society is developing so fast, doing business is much easier and more chic than being an official." ”

Tang Xudong said: "Secretary Chen, what you said is not bad, no official is light! In the past, when I was in the agency, I was always afraid to come out, and I felt that the outside society was always not safe in the system. But now, I have come out of the system, but I also feel that the outside world is not so terrifying, compared with before, it is much easier, there are not so many tight spells on my body, I can do whatever I want, and no one cares anymore. ”

Song Yu joked: "Old Tang, you said in front of Secretary Chen that doing business is better than being an official, but it's not suitable!"

Tang Xudong immediately smiled: "I'm just talking about myself, for people like me whose career has entered the twilight period and has no hope of high promotion, I think it's not bad to jump out of the system early and toss and toss in business." But for a new officialdom star like Secretary Chen, who is already in a high position at a young age and whose future prospects are even more unpredictable, it is naturally better in the system. In any case, our country is still an 'official-based' country, and no matter how much money you can make in business, you can't have a social status within the system. ”

Chen Qingdong flicked off the cigarette ash and said with a smile: "Call me to say, whether you are an official or in business, as long as you can do the best, you are all awesome characters." In the past, merchants were inferior people and really had little social status. However, in today's economic development-centric environment, the status of businessmen has skyrocketed. Sometimes, in order to attract a large investor, the main leaders of the local party committee and government almost all go out collectively, which is the same as greeting the higher-level leaders. Moreover, those successful businessmen, such as Liu Yonghao of the Sichuan Hope Group, now hold the position of vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and this kind of social status can be said to be prominent for a while! In comparison, if you are mixed in the system, you will be a boss's stool for the rest of your life, and even when you retire, there are many people at the grassroots level who cannot even get a deputy section level. These people actually don't have any social status, so what's the difference between them and ordinary people?"

Tang Xudong said with a smile: "Secretary Chen is right, indeed, no matter what field you are in, you must be the best." It's just that Lao Song and I are still at the bottom of the business road, and we don't know if we want to mix it up!"

Chen Qingdong said: "Brother Tang, don't be presumptuous! Shopping malls are different from officialdom, officialdom pays attention to seniority, but shopping malls don't pay attention to this, if you can have good opportunities and good projects, it is not impossible to soar to the sky! Look at Bill Gates, the richest man in the world today, who is already rich in the world at a young age, has become the idol of the young people of the times. If he were mixed with officialdom, would he be able to succeed like this with his qualifications? In fact, foreign development experience has shown that businessmen are the most powerful force for promoting social progress. Brother Tang, now that you are in the business world, you are definitely promising!"

"Haha, after listening to Secretary Chen's words, I am a little fluttering, and I will have a sense of pride in the profession of businessman!" Tang Xudong said with a smile.

"It's right to have pride. Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

At the beginning, when Tang Xudong and Song Yu contacted Chen Qingdong and wanted to acquire Shuangshan Wood Carving Factory, although Chen Qingdong was hot with them on the surface, but in his heart, Chen Qingdong never had the idea of cooperating with them, but kept treating them as monkeys.

Although Tang Xudong and the others had an accident later, it had nothing to do with Chen Qingdong, but Chen Qingdong also felt a little sorry for them in his heart.

Now that he sees Tang Xudong's appearance, although he seems to be in good spirits, he knows that Tang Xudong must have been greatly stimulated by this matter, so Chen Qingdong said these comforting words, making Tang Xudong happy, he didn't lose anything anyway, just make up for the guilt he felt for them at the beginning!

In fact, Chen Qingdong has always had a good impression of Tang Xudong and Song Yu, and in the process of contacting them, Tang Xudong and Song Yu have never done anything to make them unhappy.

The quality of Lu Junqin and others is far from Tang Xudong and Song Yu.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qingdong asked, "Where is Brother Tang developing now?"

Tang Xudong said: "I'm ashamed to say, I went to Longwan to register a company after I resigned, and I wanted to do trade, but after I entered the industry, I realized that this business is really not good! The competition is too fierce, and I don't know how difficult it is to make a single business! Moreover, those peers are fighting a price war, and they would rather everyone not make money, and they don't let their opponents make money, alas, I really can't say!"

Song Yu said: "Old Tang, shopping malls are like battlefields, you have only been in the industry for a long time, you have not completely figured out the way, it is normal to encounter some difficulties, don't be discouraged!"

Tang Xudong laughed at himself: "Yes, we can't be discouraged! This is what is the case, the Red Army's Long March, so many difficulties have been overcome, if I encounter such difficulties and become discouraged, then can I still be regarded as a party member? Haha, I only resigned, but I have not quit the party." ”

After saying this, Tang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, Lao Song, let's come over today, mainly to congratulate Secretary Chen, although it's a little late, but I still hope Secretary Chen doesn't mind." Let's not talk about our all the time. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Yu and Tang Xudong sang and said in harmony, "Secretary Chen, you have been coming to Chenqiao Town for a while, and the two of us have always wanted to come to celebrate with you, but thinking that Secretary Chen, you have just changed to a new unit, and you must be very busy, so we didn't dare to bother you, so I came here now, and I hope that Secretary Chen will not be strange." ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Brother Tang, Mr. Song, it's too much for you to say that! We have all drunk so many times together, and we have long been old friends, I am very happy if you can come over, what do you need to say sooner or later?"

Tang Xudong said with a smile: "I knew from the beginning that Secretary Chen was a cheerful person! Secretary Chen, do you have time at noon, otherwise we will invite you to dinner at noon, which can be regarded as our late congratulations." ”

"Hey, Brother Tang, you are wrong when you say that, since you have all come to Chenqiao, how can there be any reason for you to have a treat? At noon today, at our restaurant in Chenqiao, I will be the east, and invite the two old brothers to dinner. I believe that the two old brothers will not dislike the simple restaurant in our Chenqiao Town. ”

After speaking, Chen Qingdong looked at Tang Xudong and said with a smile: "Besides, Mr. Song wants to fund 100,000 yuan in our town for us to buy a shuttle bus, and I originally wanted to invite Mr. Song to dinner alone to show my gratitude." However, since it happened to be a coincidence, then I will borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and invite them together, Mr. Song will not mind!"

Song Yu said repeatedly: "Secretary Chen is polite! I am polite! I subsidized this 100,000 yuan, it is just a small matter, how can I still let Secretary Chen treat him specially?"

I don't know how to use other ways to thank Mr. Song for his generosity, so I have to use the old-fashioned method to set up a banquet, and I hope Mr. Song doesn't mind!"

"Haha, the more Secretary Chen talks, the more polite he becomes! Secretary Chen invites me to dinner, I can only feel that it is a great honor, how can I mind!" Song Yu laughed.

Tang Xudong suddenly said at this time: "Secretary Chen, I came here today, the first choice is to congratulate you, in addition, I have another purpose." ”

"Oh? Chen Qingdong said.

Tang Xudong smiled and said: "That's the case, when I was chatting with Lao Song yesterday, I heard Lao Song say that he would give Chen Qiao a subsidy of 100,000 yuan to buy a shuttle bus, and I thought that this is a very good thing! I have also worked in the township, and even the grassroots comrades work hard, and transportation is one of the more prominent problems. Nowadays, there are so many townships and towns in our county, and none of the townships have purchased shuttle buses, and Secretary Chen, as soon as you came to work, you bought shuttle buses for the benefit of comrades, which made me very moved! Therefore, I also want to do my best to fund 100,000 yuan like Lao Song. ”

Chen Qingdong didn't expect that Tang Xudong would also donate money today, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Song Yu donated money, Chen Qingdong can still understand, after all, Song Yu has always been a businessman, so Song Yu must have been familiar with the road by opening up a way to get closer to government officials, and his face can naturally be pulled down.

And Tang Xudong is different, although he is only at the highest level in Liulin County, he is also a veteran leader, and he became famous very early, in terms of qualifications, he doesn't know where to go higher than Chen Qingdong!

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh that Tang Xudong was so willing to give up his son in order to get closer to him, it was really embarrassing for him!
