Chapter 1911: Anna's Origin?
Fortunately, although Anna didn't know much about China's national conditions, she also knew that this kind of thing could not be asked loudly, so she just asked in a low voice in Mo Liyan's ear.
"This ...... In our country, some things are different from your habits, in our country, usually, if your superior leader asks you for something unimportant, it is a manifestation of the superior leader's closeness to you, which means that you have a good relationship with the leader," Mo Liyan explained to Anna, "You also know, because of the current political system in our country, the promotion of an official is not mainly determined by his achievements, but by your supervisor and the backer behind you. ”
"I see!" Anna nodded with a relieved expression, "I know, I have studied the political history of the former Soviet Union, and at that time, the promotion of officials was similar to what you said. ”
Anna and Mo Liyan's words were said in English, Lao Tang obviously didn't understand English, so he listened at a loss, not knowing what these two aunts and grandmothers said, but Zhang Lan was sweating when she listened: This little girl really dares to say anything, and dares to use the former Soviet Union as a metaphor for our country......
If this had been left a few years ago, maybe it would have made a political mistake, although for the current Zhang family, no one would dare to put such a certain hat on the head of the future young grandmother of the Zhang family.
"Okay, let's not talk about this," lest the two little girls talk more and more excessively, Zhang Lan had to interrupt the words of the two little girls, "When Lao Tang brings something delicious, please eat it when the time comes." ”
"Is it delicious Chinese game?" Anna clapped her hands excitedly, "Okay, I'll tell the family when I go back, let them go hunt a bear, and we'll eat bear meat and bear paws together!" ”
Is bear meat good? Zhang Lan felt very ashamed, over the years, although the bear paws have not been eaten, but the bear meat has never been eaten, listening to the meaning of this girl, it seems that the bear meat is very delicious.
As for the fact that bears are key protected animals of the state, and bear paws cannot be eaten indiscriminately, Zhang Lan directly ignored it: China's laws can control Chinese and Chinese bears, but can they still manage Russian bears and Russians?
Zhang Lan knows that in Russia, there is a limit to the hunting of bears, in view of the huge number of bears in Russia, every year the Russian government will give a certain number of hunting quotas, most of these hunted bears have become a delicacy on the plate of Russians, and a small amount will be exported abroad.
What's more, not to mention that in Russia, as long as there are legal procedures and quotas, bear hunting is legal, even in our country, there are still fewer people who eat bear paws? And I don't look at the people who eat bear's paws.
And listening to the meaning of Anna's words, it seems that their family also has a considerable status in Russia? Zhang Lan couldn't help but be a little curious about the origin of this girl: What is the origin of this girl?
"Bear meat and bear paws?!" Lao Tang's eyes widened all of a sudden! What does this girl say? Eat bear meat and bear paws another day?!
The bear is a national first-class key protected animal in our country, and this foreign girl said that she would go and hit the head? You're a bear, a pheasant, huh? Oh no, in China, even pheasants are national second-class protected animals, and hunting is illegal.
Bear's paw this thing, the old soup once when he was young, the taste is really not to say, it is worthy of one of the top delicacies handed down from ancient times, if there is a master who can make bear's paws to cook, the taste of this thing can make you want to swallow it with your tongue!
It's just a pity that over the years, Lao Tang has also eaten once, since the number of bears is getting smaller and smaller, and it is not listed as a national first-class protected animal, Lao Tang has never tasted that kind of delicacy, and now listen to the meaning of the roommate "Crown Princess", it seems that their family can get bears?
Realizing this, Lao Tang was immediately excited, but he was also a little panicked and apprehensive: being able to eat such a delicacy as bear's paw made Lao Tang's saliva suddenly drool, but is it appropriate for him to do this?
Zhang Lan has also eaten a lot of bear paws over the years, speaking from the heart, the bear paws made by the top chef are indeed the top delicacies, but there are more to eat, and there is no shock at the beginning, looking at the posture of the old soup, it is obviously that it has been spoiled by the bear's paw, this is not a bad thing, Zhang Lan feels that this is also an opportunity, and it is also a means to show favor to the subordinates! ,
With this plan, Zhang Lan glanced at the old soup and said with a smile, "That old soup, you are stained with Anna's light, so let's do it, when Anna brings the bear's paw, I will let you know when the time comes." ”
Old soup was overjoyed! His heart was filled with great happiness: of course, what he was excited about was not such a bear paw, although a bear paw could satisfy his appetite, but this was not what Lao Tang really valued, what really made Lao Tang value was that through Zhang Lan's action, he saw Zhang Lan's attitude towards him: As long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly.
This is what Lao Tang really cares about, he is remembered by the leader, and he is still worried about his own good future in the future? Don't think about it, as long as you work hard, a bright future is in front of you, now you are already a deputy department level, before thinking about whether you can get a deputy minister-level treatment before retirement, but now it seems that there is still a lot of hope to go one step further, if you can get a ministerial-level treatment to retire, then your own family will be the existence of the middle and high-level of the red family in the capital in the future, as long as there are no major accidents, the prosperity of your family is just around the corner!
As soon as he thought of this, Lao Tang's heart was suddenly filled with happiness for the future family, looking at Zhang Lan, tears couldn't help but come down, "Little master, you...... I...... Don't worry, as long as you give an order in the future, what will you do to me, I will not say anything about the old soup! ”
"Doing your job well is the best thank you to me, as for the other things, you don't have to worry, everyone knows that I will not treat those who are loyal to our family badly." Zhang Lan said to Lao Tang with a smile, and the implication in his words was quite obvious.
For Zhang Lan's words, Lao Tang is convinced, at the beginning, Li Yumei was just a small county party secretary, and Wang Qiang was just a battalion-level cadre of a county-level military station, but now, with the support of the Zhang family and Alice Group, Li Yumei, who is just a small county party secretary, has now become one of the nine most important leaders of the republic, often appearing on news broadcasts, and can be called an outstanding representative of Chinese women; As for Wang Qiang, who followed the Alice Group and the Zhang family, in less than ten years, he was quickly promoted from a small lieutenant colonel battalion commander to a lieutenant general, and the speed of promotion can be called a rocket cadre.
It's just that when he thought of this, Lao Tang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Wang Qiang: If Wang Qiang had been following behind the Alice Group and the Zhang family, maybe he would have been promoted to general by now, which is the highest military rank that a soldier can achieve in peacetime, but now? After betraying the Zhang family, although the Zhang family didn't treat him well, he didn't get reused after he switched there, a cold Qingshui yamen, let this guy sit directly on the cold bench - think about it at this time, Wang Qiang also regrets it in his heart, but what's the use of regret, the only thing in this world that has no medicine is regret medicine.
Thinking of the promise that Zhang Lan had just made to herself, it meant that the Zhang family and Alice Group had jointly made a commitment to herself, which was the guarantee for the future prosperity of her family, Lao Tang's eyes were red, and he couldn't help choking.
Of course, for the fact that Wang Qiang and the Zhang family are getting farther and farther away now, Lao Tang feels that he should be deeply warned, like this anti-bone boy, from which it can also be concluded that when you are a traitor, there will not end well under normal circumstances, even if others promise you more benefits at that time, if you don't find a chance to quietly abolish you afterwards, it will be worthy of you...... Who would dare to believe in the character and credibility of a traitor.
After that, he glanced at Anna again, smiled at Anna and said, "Miss Anna, it seems that I will trouble you to fight one more bear, there will be a lot of people at that time, and I am worried that there will be less and not enough food." ”
“OK!” Realizing Zhang Lan's background, Anna immediately realized that the young man in front of her was very likely to be of great help to the development of her family. nodded immediately, "No problem, leave this matter to me, I will definitely satisfy everyone." ”
Russia can legally hunt bears, Zhang Lan knows, but the general season for bear hunting is in winter, and at this time of year, you can actually go bear hunting, thinking that the Anna family may not be ordinary, Zhang Lan's heart couldn't help but move, "Anna, is it inconvenient to bring me a bear skin?" ”
"Yes, but what do you want the bearskin for?" Anna nodded, feeling a little strange again. ,
"My grandfather is old, and I want to find a bearskin to make a bearskin mattress for his old man." Zhang Lan said, "When the old man was a soldier, he was shot in his leg, and at that time he fell ill, and his leg hurt in winter. ”
"That's a good idea," Anna nodded, her face a little excited, "what a coincidence, my grandfather once fought with the Japanese in the Far East, and was also hit in the leg by a Japanese bullet, and the injured leg hurt badly in winter, and he also slept on a bearskin mattress, which worked very well." ”
Hey? So Anna's grandfather turned out to be a Soviet Red Army? If it was with the Japanese, it should have been in the forties of the last century, thinking that his grandfather had served on the Sino-Soviet border in the fifties, I don't know if Anna's grandfather was still there when his grandfather served in the Northeast, you must know that the Sino-Soviet relations at that time were at the closest time between the two sides, Zhang Lan's interest came, and he couldn't help but ask Anna, "Miss Anna, may I ask which army did your grandfather serve in?" ”
Anna frowned and thought about it, as if she didn't think about it, and looked at Zhang Lan with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, my grandfather said it before, but it's a pity that I forgot, I'm not very interested in these things...... If you want to know, I'll give you a call and ask. ”
"It's okay," Zhang Lan waved her hand to show that it didn't matter, despite some disappointment, "It's just a little curious, if you don't remember it, forget it." ”
Anna pursed her lips and didn't speak, but she made up her mind in her heart, and after she turned around, she would definitely call back and ask if her grandfather had served in the Far East and when had he been serving, although Zhang Lan said that he didn't care, but listening to the meaning of his words, he seemed to be quite interested in this matter.
The family's business has been more and more impacted over the years, and now the family urgently needs to find a partner, and China, a neighbor of Russia, has developed rapidly over the years, which has also made many Russian businessmen coveted, but limited to many uncertain factors, the economic exchanges between the two sides are mainly based on military products, minerals, timber, raw materials, light industrial products and food trade, and the trade volume does not conform to the identity of the two countries. There is a huge gap between the huge economic aggregates between the two countries, and Victoria's boyfriend seems to be obviously a very powerful presence in this country, and if you can cooperate with them, you may be able to resolve the family's current difficulties.
If it weren't for the first time of meeting, it would be rude to ask Zhang Lan directly what he was doing at home, Anna would have almost opened up to Zhang Lan directly, but Anna felt that it was not a problem, and she was embarrassed to ask now, and it would be the same to ask Victoria when she went back, as his girlfriend, Victoria would definitely know what he was doing at home.
Full of wine and food, chatting is almost over, it's okay in the afternoon, Zhang Lan plans to accompany Mo Liyan out for a walk, and looks at Anna and Mo Liyan with a smile, "Two ladies, have you eaten well?" ”
"I've already eaten well," Mo Liyan patted his stomach exaggeratedly, "What are your arrangements for the afternoon?" ”
"Madame's arrangement is my arrangement." Zhang Lan said very dog-legged and flattering.
Mo Liyan was very interested in Zhang Lan's title, and snorted, "I want to go out with Anna in the afternoon, you can be a driver and a porter for us." ”
Zhang Lan's face suddenly fell, "It's no problem to be a driver, but it's free to be a porter, right?" ”
It's okay to be a driver, but you can be a porter for two women who are ready to go on a shopping spree? This job is obviously not something that a man can do, even if Zhang Lan can play Ironman Pentathlon, this job is not something that Zhang Lan can successfully do...... It is said that to date, no male compatriot has appeared on Earth who can successfully do this job.
Looking at Zhang Lan's sad face, Lao Tang lowered his head, wanting to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, the dignified young master of the Zhang family was called by someone as a porter and driver? Who would dare to believe it, I'm afraid no one on this planet can afford to hire such an expensive driver and porter, right?
The four of them walked out while chatting, and as soon as they walked out of the door of the box, Zhang Lan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: there was a person standing outside the box, looking at this person's relieved and relaxed expression when he saw him, as if he was waiting for himself?
Wait for yourself? Zhang Lan wondered a little in her heart: Who is this guy? ,
"Mr. Yang, why are you here? Aren't you all in the office at this time? Lao Tang asked the man strangely, looking at the tone of conversation between Lao Tang and the man, it seemed that the two of them were quite familiar.
The doubts on Zhang Lan's face were seen by Lao Tang, and seeing that Zhang Lan didn't know the boss of Quanjude, Lao Tang's heart jumped slightly: What's the matter with this Lao Yang? Why did you just block this little young master at the door? Although this little young master has an easy-going personality and is a very good talker, it doesn't mean that he has no temper, you are not familiar with this young master, and you directly blocked his door, isn't it making you feel uncomfortable!
Thinking that this Mr. Yang was not bad to himself, Lao Tang couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, and took the initiative to open his mouth, which can be regarded as showing Zhang Lan that I know this guy.
It was similar to what Lao Tang expected, seeing that Lao Tang knew this person, Zhang Lan stood there.
"Tang Bureau, didn't you hear the waiter say that you are here, hurry up and take a look," the person known as Mr. Yang glanced at Zhang Lan and said to Lao Tang with a smile, "The leader is here, and I, a small businessman, have to come over and toast a glass of wine anyway?" It's just that I forgive Lao Yang for being clumsy, I don't know who this son is? ”
With the degree of familiarity between him and Lao Tang, if he was coming for Lao Tang, he would have knocked on the door and come in directly, not to mention that when Lao Tang booked the box before, how could the waiter not tell him about it? You must know that there are rules for the emergency use of the box in Quanju Delhi, and when using the emergency box, you must say to the boss, and at this moment, looking at the posture of this Mr. Yang, it is clear that he is worried that he will disturb the guests who are eating inside, and he has been waiting here for a while.
The third-in-command of the dignified Beijing Public Security Bureau personally helped people set up an emergency box, and personally came over to wait until the people in the box finished eating before hurrying to go.
To be honest, this Mr. Yang may not have any attachment thoughts, I'm afraid that he is more afraid that he will offend people, who knows what kind of temperament this young master is, in case he doesn't express his intentions and is considered to be inconsiderate, he will really be too late to cry when the time comes. So at this moment, the reason why Mr. Yang came over was basically to show goodwill, and said to Zhang Lan: Look, I know that your old man is here, and he didn't dare to disturb your meal before, and he has been waiting outside the box, this gift is thoughtful enough, right? So this, you see, is it......
But without Zhang Lan's acquiescence, where did Lao Tang dare to introduce Zhang Lan to him? Others may think that Mr. Yang may be a great person, but Lao Tang understands in his heart that in the eyes of this eldest young master, the Mr. Yang in front of him is really nothing.
So what should I do?
