A truly wise man will definitely understand the importance of "persistence", without the first person to eat crabs, how can there be a crab feast all over the ground now? The prophets may have lived a very simple material life, but the spiritual wealth they created was incomparable to that of any priceless treasure.

The seemingly uneventful day has passed, the night has passed, the day has fallen, and when the sun rises, it is a new beginning.

The next morning, Chen Dalong attended a meeting, and when he came out of the venue to take a breath, he happened to bump into Hu Changjun, who came from Pushui County to attend the meeting.

Hu Changjun, as Chen Dalong's old subordinate, saw the old leader and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Vice Mayor Chen, why did you come out too?" Didn't you go back and have your speech? ”

"It's boring, it's all virtual, everyone is acting, and it's annoying to watch." Chen Dalong shook his head boredly and said.

Hu Changjun said with a smile: "You are a leader, you can't say that, but life is like a play, officialdom is a big stage, you are ugly at the end of your life, and you have to make a show in the officialdom." ”

"Yo ho, Minister Hu seems to have been a little deep lately!" Chen Dalong pretended to look at Hu Changjun in surprise.

Hu Changjun said proudly: "Of course, although I am not at a high level, I still know how to learn." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Learning is the foundation of progress, and no matter what the career is, learning is necessary. Chen Dalong said casually.

"I'll invite you to dinner at noon, we haven't eaten alone for a long time." Hu Changjun warmly extended an invitation.

"Cheng, I'll give you this face, but I'll please." Chen Dalong doesn't care about the trivial matter of a meal, anyway, he always has to eat at noon, who to eat with or not? It is more casual to eat with his old subordinate Hu Changjun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, Hu Changjun continued: "Vice Mayor Chen, I heard that you and Yu Dandan are very close, otherwise, you can call Yu Dandan and find a beautiful woman to accompany you to have a few more drinks." ”

How smart is Chen Dalong's brain? He immediately realized that the purpose of Hu Changjun's meal at noon today was not simple, squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Changjun and said, "Minister Hu, I just said that we haven't eaten alone for a long time, so we want to bring Yu Dandan to you?" Are you inviting me or her? ”

In the past, when Hu Changjun came to the city, Chen Dalong took him to Yu Dandan's hotel for dinner, so Hu Changjun and Yu Dandan were also acquaintances.

"Please, please, aren't these all friends!" Hu Changjun said with a smile on his face.

"I have a lot of friends, why don't I call Jia Dada and Wang Dapeng?" Chen Dalong deliberately said the opposite.

Hu Changjun hurriedly said: "Don't mind, I have something I want to discuss with Yu Dandan, it's not good if there are too many people." ”

"Don't call me if you have something to discuss with her, it's not that you don't know her, you can find her yourself!" Chen Dalong didn't slant at him, obviously quite dissatisfied with Hu Changjun's remarks.

Hu Changjun smiled and said, "Isn't this because the relationship between the two of you is very good?" ”

"Well, if the relationship is good, it should be used by you Hu Changjun?" Chen Dalong pursed his lips and said unhappily, "You are so bold that you dare to hit me?" ”

"No, no, old leader, listen to my explanation."

Hu Changjun saw that a good thing was about to be self-defeating, so he was so anxious that he grabbed the old leader who was about to leave, and chattered endlessly to explain the reason

Of course, Hu Changjun will not invite Yu Dandan to dinner for no reason, Yu Dandan is now about to bid for the second phase of the Huda Plaza project, Hu Changjun wants to let a boss he contact contract this project, so he wants to talk to Yu Dandan in advance.

Although he knew Yu Dandan, he couldn't ask himself to the point where it was not related to Chen Dalong and her, as long as Chen Dalong opened his mouth to help speak, this matter would definitely be secure.

Hu Changjun smiled bitterly and explained to Chen Dalong: "Old leader, you are now a department-level cadre, there is no hope for me to be promoted, I just want to make some money, don't you just want you to do a small favor, you will make me like this?" ”

After listening to the explanation, Chen Dalong still didn't get rid of his hatred, and turned his face to Hu Changjun and added: "Profiteer!" You're a copper-smelling profiteer now, but be careful not to get yourself in! ”

"Yes, yes, I'm a profiteer, as long as you help me with this, you can scold as much as you want."

"How do you say hello to me?" Chen Dalong stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Changjun with an angry face, but Hu Changjun smiled and disagreed.

Scolding is scolding, but the phone still has to be called.

This is what impresses his subordinates in Chen Dalong's character, no matter how harsh he says it verbally, when his subordinates ask him to help with things, as long as he can, he will never say anything.

Chen Dalong dialed Yu Dandan's phone number in front of Hu Changjun, and Yu Dandan heard Chen Dalong say that Hu Changjun wanted to invite her to dinner, and immediately guessed what Hu Changjun's purpose was, but she still accepted the invitation with a smile, because it was Chen Dalong who made the invitation, and of course she would not refuse.

After the noon meeting, several people met at the agreed hotel, Hu Changjun attached great importance to this meeting, Chen Dalong was not soft on him, and directly ordered two bottles of 50-year-old Yichun wine, a bottle of more than 1,800, Yu Dandan was a little puzzled:

"Why don't you drink Moutai?"

Chen Dalong said: "This wine is the most expensive!" ”

One sentence almost choked Yu Dandan to death: "It's good if it's expensive?" ”

Hu Changjun saw that Yu Dandan was a little picky when he spoke, so he hurriedly said: "Moutai is good!" Moutai is good! I haven't drunk it again, I'll have to try it when I get the chance! ”

Yu Dandan disdainful: "There are still expensive ones, Louis XIII is more than three thousand, why don't you order it?" ”

"I'm not used to drinking foreign wine, I support domestic products!" Hu Changjun replied in a hurry.

Chen Dalong listened from the side and couldn't help laughing.

Hu Changjun saw the leader laughing, his heart was relaxed for a while, and he took the opportunity to gag: "Manager Yu, have you seen it, my old leader has always sharpened my knife to me, I can't let my blood out, and I refuse to help when I encounter something, otherwise, I will definitely be a department-level cadre now." ”

Yu Dandan said with a smile: "Vice Mayor Chen gave you a chance to worship him, others don't want it, I think you should be happy." ”

Chen Dalong said: "That's it! ”

Hu Changjun saw that the two of them were now aiming their guns at him in unison, and pretended to be helpless: "Yes, you two have always been comrades-in-arms in the trenches, I admit defeat, I admit defeat!" But what I wanted to say was, "You two are just wearing a pair of pants." "This kind of thing can't be said anyway, if Yu Dandan hears it, I'm afraid that this project will be yellow.

Chen Dalong took a sip of the wine glass, smashed his mouth and said: "This wine is really bad, it is much more difficult to drink than Moutai, and it is not cost-effective at all." ”

Yu Dandan said angrily: "I have long advised you to drink Moutai." ”

Chen Dalong said: "If it's not delicious, you have to drink it, Minister Hu has a heart." ”

Yu Dandan knew that he was deliberately, and of course he wouldn't bother with him. After a few glasses of wine, Hu Changjun was anxious to get to the point.

In fact, even if Hu Changjun didn't say it, Yu Dandan could guess what his purpose was for inviting him to dinner, and said with a smile:

"Of course, I can trust the strength of the company recommended by Minister Hu last time, but I am not the only shareholder of the Huda Plaza project, so everyone agreed to open the bidding, in fact, with the strength of Minister Hu's friends, they will definitely stand out in the bidding."

Hu Changjun said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will let my friend prepare the plan in a down-to-earth manner and wait for the bidding to begin." Having said that, his expression could not hide the loss in his heart, he thought that he could win the project through personal connections, and there was no need to go through the formalities at all.

Yu Dandan's rhetoric was obviously a tactful rejection of him, obedient and obedient, what kind of strength can be trusted, of course Hu Changjun would not believe it, he thought that Yu Dandan was not very interested in the company he recommended.

Hu Changjun was not wrong, Yu Dandan's statement of public bidding was just an excuse.

After lunch, she and Chen Dalong came to the open-air garden to drink tea, and directly told Chen Dalong her thoughts: "Vice Mayor Chen, I don't plan to hand over the project of Huda Square to the company recommended by Minister Hu to do!" ”

Chen Dalong said with a smile: "I don't ask about your business, but the company recommended by Minister Hu is also very powerful, and many projects are involved." ”

Yu Dandan smiled: "When I recommended it last time, I checked the company's information, and I have not taken over similar projects in Huda Plaza in the past, and the company's stalls are now too big, probably because I am eager to become bigger and stronger, and what I need is a more attentive and modern construction team." ”

Chen Dalong asked, "Have you already chosen?" ”

Yu Dandan replied: "Almost." ”

Chen Dalong said: "Since this is the case, I will tell Hu Changjun that this heart is dead." ”

Yu Dandan said apologetically: "You don't blame me, do you?" ”

"What do you blame?" Chen Dalong asked.

"I couldn't help your friend."

Chen Dalong laughed: "Business is business, friends are friends, I can distinguish these things very clearly." After he finished saying this, he suddenly paused and looked at Yu Dandan's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "You care about my thoughts very much?" ”

Yu Dandan's face flushed, and she actually nodded.

Chen Dalong said: "Me too. ”

"It's different!" Yu Dandan lowered her long black eyelashes and used tea to hide her flustered expression at this time.

Chen Dalong raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the afternoon sun, the afternoon sun was very warm and bright, bathed in such sunshine, it would make people feel a kind of slack from the bottom of their hearts, and make him want to find a place to sleep.

Chen Dalong yawned and said, "I've been getting lazier and lazier lately. ”

Yu Dandan smiled: "I can see it!" ”

"I don't even know why? Recently, I can't lift my spirits when I do some things, and I have probably been mixed in the officialdom for a long time, and I feel that everything around me is not attractive to me. ”

Yu Dandan said with a smile: "People always have a period of low mood, you belong to people who can't be idle, so you will have such a feeling, people like you need to keep tossing, only in this way can you maintain enough excitement." ”
