The appointment meeting did not end until nearly 12 o'clock.

Out of politeness and practice, Zhou Nan and other newly promoted middle-level cadres went to express their gratitude to the leaders.

When Zhou Nan rushed to Meng Chunting's office, Meng Chunting was about to go out and take the car home for dinner, and when she saw Zhou Nan, she smiled, "Come, Xiao Zhou, sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you for the care and love of the leader, I will work hard in the future, and I will live up to the leader's expectations of me......" Zhou Nan programmatically expressed his gratitude that was actually quite hypocritical, and said a cliché that actually did not have much nutrition. But it's not okay not to say this kind of thing, otherwise the leader will think that you are not humble and respectful enough.

Meng Chunting got up and walked over with a smile, "Okay, Xiao Zhou, the company's party committee has high hopes for you, and I hope you won't let me down." Everything is false, and it is true to do it in a real and down-to-earth manner! Come on, the company is willing to provide you young talents with a bigger and broader stage and platform, and give you the opportunity to show your talents......"

"Thank you for the encouragement of the leader, I will work hard, please rest assured." Zhou Nan smiled respectfully, and while accompanying Meng Chunting outside, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Meng, my dad and they want to invite you and Secretary Xu to have a meal at night, let me ask you first to see if you have time at night?" ”

Meng Chunting smiled understandingly, but she didn't refuse, "Secretary General Xue and Director Zhou are so polite...... I have time, but I have to supervise Chen Xi's study at night......"

Of course, Meng Chunting would not refuse Xue Yuanyang and Zhou Ningyu's invitation.

She has already reused and promoted Zhou Nan and sold the two of them a great favor, so at this time, she naturally wants to take the opportunity to "invite credit" and get closer to the two. Of course, in terms of face, it is still necessary to be reserved.

Meng Chunting is not only a very strong woman, but also a very ambitious woman in politics. At the beginning, in order to cross the threshold of the deputy county, in the case of failure to compete for the position of director of the construction committee, she secretly delegated Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, although it was only a subordinate enterprise of the municipal construction committee, but it also solved the county level.

Theoretically, she and Hu Zongsheng, director of the Construction Committee, are at the same level, both at the level of the county department, but the former is the leader of the competent department. The management of state-owned enterprises at the county level seems a bit "weird", but the domestic administrative system is so complex, as the administrative department in the field of Haidu construction and municipal public utilities, gas, water, sewage treatment and heating companies, and bus companies are all subordinate enterprises, and they are all county-level enterprises (that is, state-owned medium-sized two).

However, although the county-level establishment has been solved, Meng Chunting's ambition is not only that. She is only in her early 40s, and there is still room for development in politics...... Therefore, after she came to the company, she began to gradually promote the reform of the enterprise system, and constantly looked for new projects to carry out foreign investment, the purpose of which was nothing more than to make political achievements and strive for the next step to continue to move forward.

Therefore, for Xue Yuanyang and Zhou Ningyu, the two confidants around Liu Xiangdong, the secretary of the municipal party committee, she will definitely not offend, not only will she not offend, but she will also use Zhou Nan as a "link" to strengthen the connection with the two as much as possible.

If Zhou Ningyu's weight in her mind was not enough before, then when she knew that the relationship between the Zhou family and the Xue family was so close, promoting Zhou Nan became her only choice. In a sense, this is the key factor for Zhou Nan to be fearless of people's words and risk offending the leadership of the Construction Committee, and reusing Zhou Nan's surname exceptionally.

That's how the world is. Especially in the field of power, there is no favor at all, there is only interest and exchange of interests.

For Meng Chunting, she can have the final say in the promotion and use of Zhou Nan alone, and she doesn't need to pay too much cost, so that the Zhou family and the Xue family owe her a lot of favors; And when it comes to the critical moment, the reward she gets will definitely be worth it.

It can't be said that Meng Chunting is too utilitarian, on the contrary, she is actually a leader who attaches importance to talents. If it weren't for Kang Zhanguo's killing, if there were no unexpected factors, and if it didn't involve some of her political interests, she would have promoted Zhou Nan to be the deputy director of the Development Office.

But then so many things happened, involving all aspects of relationships and conflicts of interest, she naturally had to weigh the pros and cons before making a trade-off.

In this way, Zhou Nan knew that as a reborn person with rich experience in the past and present lives, how could he still not understand this bit of human sophistication, so he took the initiative to smile and said, "Mr. Meng, I'll go over to help Chen Xi tutor in the evening...... Don't worry, I'll definitely take a good look at her. In fact, Chen Xi is very smart, she is mainly too sloppy and playful, if she can take her mind back, her grades will definitely improve quickly. ”

When it came to her daughter Chen Xi, Meng Chunting's mood suddenly became a little low and depressed, and she sighed softly and said, "It's okay, then I'll trouble you, Zhou Nan." You have a strong foundation and are a famous college student, you help Chen Xi tutor for a while, if you can help her get admitted to a similar university, I will be content......"

"Okay, I know, you tell Secretary-General Xue and Director Zhou that I will definitely go to the appointment on time."

While speaking, Meng Chunting went downstairs, and Zhou Nan immediately turned around and strode towards Xu Jianguo's office. If what he expected was right, Xu Jianguo must have stayed in the office and waited for his visit to thank him.

Come to think of it, people have helped so much this time, but they can't be wasted.

Of course, Zhou Nan's thanks or gratitude do not matter, the important thing is that Zhou Nan should replace and convey some kind of friendly message from Xue Yuanyang and Zhou Ningyu, which is what Xu Jianguo really values and needs.

Xu Jianguo sat in the office a little upset, he had never been so breathless as today, and he was a little impatient. He looked up at his watch and saw that it was already 12 o'clock, and he couldn't help frowning.

Knock knock!

There was a slight and crisp knock on the door, Xu Jianguo immediately turned pale, sat upright, and said in a reserved and deep voice, "Come in!" ”

"Secretary Xu......" Zhou Nan walked in with a smile, stood more than a meter away from Xu Jianguo's desk, and repeated what Fang had just said in Meng Chunting's office, and then sent Xu Jianguo an invitation to the evening banquet on behalf of Xue Yuanyang and Zhou Ningyu.

"Secretary Xu, my dad wants to invite you and Mr. Meng to have a meal in the evening, and it doesn't mean anything, I just want to thank the two leaders in person......"

"Oh? Secretary-General Xue and Director Zhou are so polite! Okay, I'll go over after work in the afternoon - Red Sun...... Good, good! ”

Xu Jianguo would not refuse, he smiled kindly, walked out of the office side by side with Zhou Nan, briefly instructed Zhou Nan to encourage him, and hurriedly went downstairs to go home.

He hurriedly went home to tell his wife, and then asked his wife to hurry up to "sell well" in front of Zhou Nan's mother Yue Ping, and do this great favor.

For the sake of Zhou Nan, he did not hesitate to tear his face with Zhao Chunlin and Sun Bo, this favor is not small.

Watching Xu Jianguo go downstairs, Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards his office, didn't take two steps, but heard the greeting of Dai Long, the director of the office, behind him, "Manager Zhou!" ”

This "Manager Zhou" made Zhou Nan feel a little emotional.

Less than an hour ago, these people in the company were still shouting "Xiao Zhou" one by one, and few people used him as a pickle; But in the blink of an eye, "Xiao Zhou" has become "Manager Zhou", this kind of life situation is really emotional!

The so-called butt determines the head, and the position determines the dignity, which is not false at all!

A smile appeared on Zhou Nan's face, and he immediately turned around and walked over, "Director Dai, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Dai Long laughed, pretending to be cordial and reached out to shake hands with Zhou Nan, "Manager Zhou, congratulations...... That's the case, let's have a meal together at noon, and our office collectively congratulates Manager Zhou! ”

Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "Director Dai, you are so polite...... I ......"

Dai Long smiled and pulled Zhou Nan's arm, "Let's go, I, Director Zhang, and a few comrades in our office, there are no outsiders." Let's go, don't you give me this little face? ”

Dai Long's words have all been said for this part, and if Zhou Nan refuses again, it will be a bit hypocritical.

Moreover, at this time, Zhang Hongxia, Sun Yan, Sun Xiaolan and other office personnel all came out of the office, surrounded him, and enthusiastically persuaded him.

The so-called hospitality is difficult to refuse, although this hospitality has a certain taste of secular utilitarianism, but it is also a kind of hospitality after all. Zhou Nan had to agree with a smile, but he muttered for a while, "Director Dai, you tell me a place, I will shout Lao Kang in a while, let's go over together!" ”

Dai Long originally didn't mean to invite Kang Zhanguo, but since Zhou Nan said so, he couldn't say anything more, so he smiled, "Okay, Manager Kang is also happy today, let's be together!" ”

"Manager Zhou, it's on the opposite side of Koufuju, room 210, I've booked it. Then let's go over first, you will call Manager Kang later, hurry up! Dai Long said hello to Zhou Nan again, and then took a group of subordinates from the office to go first.

The reason why Zhou Nan wanted to call Kang Zhan Guo was, of course, because the two were in the same company, one was in the main position and the other was a deputy position, which could be regarded as a team. No matter what outsiders think, no matter what Kang Zhan Guo thinks, Zhou Nan has already entered the role in advance.

……

……

Dai Long doesn't often entertain guests, although this kind of company has new middle-level people promoted, he comes forward as the director of the office to have a banquet, and it is common to have a good relationship; But this time, Li Long and Zhao Zhizhong, who were promoted at the same time, Dai Long did not have a banquet, which shows that those two are not enough in Dai Long's mind.

Originally, Zhou Nan was not enough in Dai Long's heart. But Zhou Nan was able to "defeat" Kang Zhanguo, and was suddenly promoted by the company to be the leader of its subsidiary, which is enough to show that his energy is big enough. Regardless of whether Dai Long was surprised or surprised, and whether he accepted or not, it is a fact that Zhou Nan has become the youngest and most promising second-level unit leader of the company.

The facts are in front of you, power represents everything, and Zhou Nan's position in Dai Long's mind has risen sharply, rising to an unprecedented height. It can even be said that none of the middle-level cadres in the company are valued by him so much, and he can't help but have a little flattery.
