Chapter 222: Embarrassment

According to the plan, Shang Zhichao will inspect the work of the Binnan Fertilizer Plant under the Economic and Trade Commission today. The secretary connected Hongxing to the fertilizer factory two calls, he looked at his watch, it was already 8:45, it was time to leave, knocked on the door and entered the room. Shang Zhichao was holding a cigarette in one hand and looking out the window with the other behind his back. In the courtyard just outside the window, Zhang Younian was opening the door of the Blue Bird car and asked Lin Yuanfang to get in the car.

Xiang Hongxing came to Shang Zhichao's side and said softly, "Boss, it's time to go." ”

"Hmmm! Let's go, too! Shang Zhichao responded, turned around and flicked his hand, and most of the cigarette butts in his hand drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately in the spittoon next to the senior desk.

Xiang Hongxing walked to the table and put Shang Zhichao's teacup into his briefcase, sandwiched it under the flank, and then opened the drawer next to him and took out Shang Zhichao's sunglasses, and then followed Shang Zhichao out of the door.

When he came to the gate, he handed the sunglasses to Shang Zhichao to Hongxing, so that the eyes of the business boss could block the strong sunlight of Xia Yue. A second before Shang Zhichao got into the car, Xiang Hongxing took the sunglasses again and carefully placed them in the glasses case - the windows were all imported sunshade films, so naturally there was no need to wear sunglasses.

The foreign-made car is comfortable to sit on, and the driver Yan Xiaolei's skills are very good. Once he showed off his skills to Xiang Hongxing, put a glass full of water in front of the car, and drove around the compound of the Economic and Trade Commission.

The car rushed into the gate of the fertilizer factory, and the courtyard was already full of people, a large black area, as if it had received some code, and the crowd of people who greeted it resounded with deafening applause.

Before the car stopped, one of Xiang Hongxing's feet quickly landed, but he didn't expect Cui Shanhe, the director of the fertilizer factory, to have his hand faster than Xiang Hongxing, he took the first step to open Shang Zhichao's car door, and his hand was also stretched out.

Shang Zhichao's big hand touched him lightly, and then let go. Xiang Hongxing hurriedly handed the sunglasses to Shang Zhichao and put them on, and Xiang Hongxing knew that there were still more than a dozen steps from the gate to the office building of the fertilizer factory.

A large group of people surrounded Shang Zhichao into the conference room. After sitting down, Cui Shanhe began to report to work, and Shang Zhichao listened to the report quietly, recording something in his notebook from time to time.

Peeked at Hongxing and found that Shang Zhichao was actually practicing signing. Xiang Hongxing quickly retracted his gaze, the less he knew about the leader's affairs, the better, even if he knew, he had to pretend to be stupid, and knowing was not knowing was the truth.

Cui Shanhe was quite interesting, he only reported for half an hour, and on occasions such as Shang Zhichao's impromptu speech, Xiang Hongxing generally did not prepare a long speech for Shang Zhichao, and only a few brief outlines were written on the speech, and the main points were different each time.

Shang Zhichao was already a talented speaker, and combined with some of the new ideas he provided to Red Star that were in line with modern trends, his speeches could always be applauded by the audience. Don't underestimate the applause of the leader's speech, Xiang Hongxing has participated in a lot of meetings, and you can already tell which ones are perfunctory and those are sincere, Xiang Hongxing can hear it, not to mention Shang Zhichao himself. Therefore, Shang Zhi went beyond the hairpin to Hongxing, unless it was a particularly important speech, it was generally drafted by Xiang Hongxing himself, and he just looked at it briefly in the car.

After Shang Zhichao said a few words, he talked about Wang Qinglin, the richest man in Taihu, and gave an in-depth explanation of Wang Qinglin's history. Finally, he asked the fertilizer plant to work hard to learn from the advanced experience of domestic and foreign enterprises, pay close attention to production and operation, seize the current favorable opportunity, and accelerate its own development.

Xiang Hongxing found that everyone at the scene stared at Director Shang's face with very admiring eyes, and Shang Zhichao was frozen in excitement, and his big hand froze in mid-air. Xiang Hongxing hurriedly took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded warmly, finally covering up the past before making a fool of himself.

At the end of the inspection activities, it was almost noon, and Cui Shanhe wanted to stay with the director for lunch.

Shang Zhichao said haha: "I still have to accompany the important guests who come above at noon, so I don't have to eat." ”

Cui Shanhe must stay. Shang Zhichao is going to go. A stalemate is on the horizon. Xiang Hongxing suddenly saw the beauty of the fertilizer factory, Xu Lihua, secretary of the Youth League Committee, and immediately glanced at her.

Xu Lihua walked quickly in front of Shang Zhichao, took his hand and said, "Director Shang, you are too unkind, aren't you just having a meal?" You yourself say that you attach great importance to the grassroots work of the enterprise. ”

As soon as Shang Zhichao raised his head, he immediately said to Hongxing, "Director." The guests from above are resting in the hotel after a long journey on the saddle horse. Xu Yan, director of the enterprise office, has also been accompanying him in the hotel, there will be no major problems, and we will give the local leaders a grand reception in the evening. ”

Shang Zhichao immediately followed Xiang Hongxing's words and said, "That's good." Since Director Cui is so enthusiastic, he will slaughter him at noon. Reprinted from self-reading, "Director Cui immediately smiled and thanked the Economic and Trade Commission for its support.

Cui Shanhe is also a smart person, and arranged Xu Lihua to sit next to Shang Zhichao during dinner. Their table was full of the leaders of the fertilizer plant, the middle-level leaders of the fertilizer plant, and they could only sit outside.

Shang Zhichao is massive, the last time Director Zhang of the Enterprise Division of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission came to inspect the work, Shang Zhichao touched more than a dozen cups with him in a row, and after pouring down Director Zhang, Shang Zhichao himself had nothing to do.

Today, the leaders of the fertilizer plant toasted. Shang Zhichao just raised his wine glass to his lips and took a sip. Moisten your lips. And Xu Lihua's toast, Shang Zhichao is all dry. Drink it all.

After drinking, Xu Lihua became more and more charming and charming, and Xiang Hongxing felt moved when she looked at it, but Shang Zhichao seemed to be nothing, except for Xu Lihua's smile when she toasted, he basically didn't look at her.

Xiang Hongxing frequently launched a drinking war with Director Cui and them, and everyone drank very happily, Cui Shanhe drank a little high, burped and said: "Secretary Xiang is a lot, I'm afraid I drank more than a catty, right?" ”

Xiang Hongxing said modestly: "What's the matter, I've drunk too much, and my hands are starting to tremble." He took the opportunity to spill some of the wine, Cui Shanhe didn't see it, and had another drink with Xiang Hongxing.

After eating lunch for about two hours, Xiang Hongxing saw that everyone was almost drunk, and deliberately raised his wrist to look at his watch, Shang Zhichao said: "I have something to do in the afternoon, let's drink here today, and I will kill you another day." ”

The guests and hosts parted happily.

Shang Zhichao leaned on the leather seat in the back of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, and asked Yan Xiaolei to close the window to Hongxing, and there was silence in the car, just suitable for rest.

Xiang Hongxing was admiring the street scene outside the window through the glass, and suddenly Shang Zhichao spoke: "Red Star is good." ”

Xiang Hongxing hurriedly looked sideways at Shang Zhichao and said, "Thank you boss for the compliment, I haven't done enough, and I will definitely make persistent efforts." ”

The driver, Yan Xiaolei, glanced at Xiang Hongxing with some envy, and he could hear that Shang Zhichao's title for Xiang Hongxing had changed in essence. Originally, Shang Zhichao was always called Xiao Sun, but now he has become a red star, which shows that Shang Zhichao appreciates and trusts Xiang Hongxing even more, and has taken Xiang Hongxing as his own.

At noon, Shang Zhichao proposed to go to Fangzhuang Town to inspect the work. Xiang Hongxing called Cui Shanhe and said, "Director Shang is going to the town in the afternoon to investigate, do you have any people who are better at writing, go down with Director Shang to sort out the text?" ”

Xiang Hongxing's words were not leaky, but the meaning was very clear, Cui Shanhe said with understanding: "Xu Lihua of our factory Youth League Committee has excellent writing skills, I think she can complete this task." Xiang Hongxing hung up the phone silently.

It is certainly not enough to be a secretary who can observe words and colors, but must go into the hearts of the leaders and convey the true intentions of the leaders to the subordinates without revealing them. Not only to let the subordinates understand what is going on, but also to make them unable to grasp the handle, this requires a deep foundation in life, and many secretaries are not good at it.

In the afternoon, Xiang Hongxing accompanied Shang Zhichao to the compound of the Economic and Trade Commission, and saw Xu Lihua, who was dressed in white and elegant, waiting at the gate of the compound.

Xiang Hongxing got out of the car and walked to Xu Lihua's side, and said, "Get in the car, Director Shang has important instructions, you have to pay attention to comprehend." Xu Lihua sat next to Shang Zhichao. Xiang Hongxing sniffed a refreshing fragrance from behind, and a long-lost emotion couldn't help but come to his heart.

Xiang Hongxing is also a big man, since his girlfriend abandoned him, he has been abstinent until now, he usually doesn't feel anything, Xu Lihua's arrival aroused his thoughts.

After the car left the city, Xiang Hongxing leaned against the window and closed his eyes and took a nap.

Shang Zhichao chatted with Xu Lihua in the back, Xu Lihua was also simple enough, Shang Zhichao asked her to answer ten, and she came and went, and Xiang Hongxing had a deeper understanding of Xu Lihua's family situation.

The research activities were in full swing, and after eating at noon, Shang Zhichao said that the county was in a bit of a hurry to go back and deal with it, and the deputy mayor of Fangzhuang Town, who accompanied him, hurriedly said: "Since there is something in the city, I won't keep you more, and next time I come back, I must stay in our Fangzhuang Town for two days." ”

The car took Xiang Hongxing and Xu Lihua to shake off the comrades in the town, and walked along the road leading to the county for a while, Shang Zhichao indicated a direction, and the car drove along the fork in the road to the Yuntai Resort Hotel.

Boss Yue of the villa is also an old acquaintance, standing at the gate to greet them, Shang Zhichao slid over Boss Yue's handshake and said, "I'm too tired these days, come to you to rest." ”

Boss Yue's face stiffened for a moment, and he immediately smiled like a flower, and said, "You are a big boss who can't even be invited, fishing?" Shang Zhichao waved his hand and said, "It's not interesting to fish for the old man, I'll go back to 808 to rest first, Red Star, you call them." Xiang Hongxing sent Shang Zhichao back to the room to rest, and then made a few phone calls.

Only half an hour later, Li Guangtian, director of the carbon factory, Xiao Fucai, manager of Wujiaohua Company, and Qiao Mengshun, director of Bishan State Farm, came over in a car and asked Hongxing to sit down in the living room, and the waiter had already prepared mahjong in the chess and card room. Shang Zhichao came out of the bathroom in pajamas, everyone stood up and said hello, Shang Zhichao pulled his hair and said: "There is no way in the county, everyone is not polite when you get here, it is still the old rule, go to war." "Xiang Hongxing knows that the old rules here are very knowledgeable, and he will pay at least a thousand yuan for a shot.

Xiang Hongxing temporarily served as a waiter, serving tea and water to everyone and doing logistics work. He could have asked the waiter to do these things, but Xiang Hongxing was afraid that someone would recognize Shang Zhichao, so he did it himself.

Shang Zhichao rushed to the red star and winked, winked at the red star, and went out with the door. Xu Lihua was making a mask in the beauty salon, and asked Hongxing how long it would take for the technician, and the technician replied that it would take at least more than an hour, so Xiang Hongxing said: "Xu Lihua, after you finish the mask, you will go to room 810 to rest, and the key is at the main desk." ”

After speaking, Xiang Hongxing returned to the mahjong room. Shang Zhichao glanced at him inadvertently, pursed his mouth at Hongxing, and said to Li Guangtian with a smile: "Director Li, your cards are getting more and more stinky the more you play." ”

Li Guangtian said with a smile: "Today my fire is very moldy, or the boss's fire is good." Xiang Hongxing frowned slightly, Shang Zhichao's playing skills are very high, and he doesn't like others to say that he is good.

Everyone is an old acquaintance, Xiang Hongxing sat for a meeting, and then went to the living room to turn on the TV, Yuntai Mountain Resort Hotel has a special satellite TV, you can watch the Phoenix Satellite TV information station, and the domestic programs are basically nothing to see.

Xiao Fucai once said to Xiang Hongxing that among Shang Zhichao's previous secretaries, Xiang Hongxing was the first one to accompany him to play cards, and the implication was that Shang Zhichao attached great importance to Xiang Hongxing.

The words came out of Xiao Fucai's mouth, and Xiang Hongxing thought it was the truth. Xiao Fucai drank high once, and spit out the truth after drinking, saying that Shang Zhichao and he were brothers, and it was the third day after Xiang Hongxing played cards with Shang Zhichao for the first time.

Xiang Hongxing found that he had fallen, but he understood better that only by following Shang Zhichao with all his heart would he have a future. In the organs of the Economic and Trade Commission, Xiang Hongxing's personality is very low-key, as long as it is not a matter of principle surname, try to help those who can help, and popularity is really important.

The time was exactly about the same, Xiang Hongxing walked into the mahjong room, and Shang Zhichao happened to have a grand slam. With a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and Xiao Fucai said while taking out the money: "The boss is so skilled that we have nothing to say, we are really ashamed of ourselves." Shang Zhichao laughed more and more, Boss Yue was already waiting in the VIP room, and stammered: "Today I prepared a few bottles of thirty-year-old Wuliangye for Director Shang, ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Guangtian, and he said: "Then we don't drink this kind of good wine?" Xiang Hongxing almost sighed, Boss Yue couldn't speak, and Li Guangtian was even more rude. Isn't this the director of the merchant who roasted on the fire?

Shang Zhichao was generous after all, and said with a smile: "Then let's taste what the thirty-year-old Wuliangye tastes like." "Boss Yue ran out to say hello in a funny way, the characters in the room are all important people in the county, how can there be a position for Boss Yue?

Xiang Hongxing took the time to go out and call Xu Lihua over for dinner, she recognized the number one person in the room at a glance, a little stunned, Xiang Hongxing comforted her and said: "There is no leader here today, only friends, come, sit." It was natural to lead her to Shang Zhichao's side. Shang Zhichao didn't look at her, and kept talking to Qian Zhong.

At the wine table, Shang Zhichao was very happy and drank a lot of wine. Xu Lihua drank very lightly, and was poured a few glasses of wine by several wine fairy-level characters, fell on the table and began to talk nonsense, and asked the waitress to help Xu Lihua back to the room to Hongxing.

After Xu Lihua left. Shang Zhichao's interest was even higher, according to Xiang Hongxing's judgment, he drank at least two catties, and everyone drank a lot and dispersed. Xiang Hongxing peeked at his watch, and it was already 12 midnight.

Xiang Hongxing returned to his room and took a hot bath. The wine was gone, and he leaned back on the bed and watched TV in good spirits. The horror movie "Jaws" is playing on TV, and tonight Shang Zhichao, the great white shark, is going to eat Xu Lihua, a mermaid. Xiang Hongxing shook his head and didn't think much about it.

Although the soundproofing of the room was very good, Xiang Hongxing still faintly heard the sound of fighting and crying from the next room, which was Xu Lihua's room.

Curiosity can kill ghosts, Xiang Hongxing lay on the bed without moving, his eyes were fixed on the TV, but his heart was churning, how could it be like this. After a while, I heard the door slamming down, and then there was silence.

Xiang Hongxing didn't understand what was going on. But it has been guessed that Shang Zhichao did not succeed tonight. The sound of the fight just now is estimated to be that Xu Lihua is resolutely resisting.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiang Hongxing had already gotten up. In the room, the pager suddenly rang, it was Zhang Younian, director of the Office of the Economic and Trade Commission, who called the pager, and returned to Hongxing, Zhang Younian said eagerly: "Xiao Xiang, just now the political axe office called to inform the director of the business to go to the county political axe immediately." ”

Xiang Hongxing asked, "Did you say anything?" Zhang Younian said: "It was a call from Wang Zhaojie, the secretary of the county magistrate, who didn't say what was the matter, only that he asked the director of commerce to hurry up." ”

Xiang Hongxing immediately realized that the matter was indeed very urgent, put down his mobile phone, and dialed the internal phone in Shang Zhichao's room, but no one answered the phone for a long time.

Xiang Hongxing hurriedly ran to knock on the door, maybe he heard Xiang Hongxing's voice, Shang Zhichao finally opened the door, and Xiang Hongxing told Shang Zhichao about the matter.

Shang Zhichao's face was embarrassed, and he was silent for a long time before he ordered: "You stay, I'll go see the county magistrate." Xiang Hongxing wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he was too embarrassed to see him, and he went to see the county magistrate Liu Hongwei, so he complained: "You drank too much yesterday, and you don't call me if you rub it, my sister is a photo studio, I will do a little makeup to help you retouch it?" ”

Shang Zhichao was still hesitating, and said to Hongxing: "You sit on the sofa first, I'll go to the waiter to order something, and I'll come back immediately." Ten minutes later, Shang Zhichao saw that his face in the mirror had basically returned to normal, and praised: "The red star is good, the red star is good......

After sending Shang Zhichao away to Hongxing, he called the two waiters on duty over, and sealed the password in the clouds. The people who can serve here are not stupid, they all said that they were too tired last night, and secretly went to sleep in the duty room, begging Xiang Hongxing not to tell Boss Yue. Xiang Hongxing walked to the door of Xu Lihua's room with satisfaction, knocked on the door for a while, but there was no movement inside. Xiang Hongxing wanted to let the waiter open the door and go in, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and turned to leave. There are some things that it is better to be confused or confused.
