Chapter 316: Ancestor Worship (2)
Knowing that Uncle Tang was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Wang Qiao was still very happy.
Although he got in touch with the Guangnan royal family, even Zhu Bajie knew that his relatives would not be close if they did not leave, and he had not been in contact with the Guangnan royal family for a long time. Therefore, Wang Qiao wants to take advantage of the fact that Tang Bogong is alive to have more contacts with the Wang family in Guangnan and increase his feelings, which is the long-term strategy.
After sitting in the small private room for a while, Lei Cheng came to the small hall and began to drink.
As the former chairman of the Chinese Department of Shannan University, Lei Cheng has been relatively smooth since he was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and he is very vigorous. After sitting down and drinking a few glasses, he said casually: "Our office director has gone to the county below to serve as the deputy secretary, and he didn't get a good score this time, but he just added a main position after the deputy secretary, and he is still a deputy position." β
Wang Qiao said with a smile: "When the senior brother is sent out, it is a waiting." β
Lei Chengdao: "I'm still early, I have to serve in the agency for a few years, and I have to find a suitable opportunity to go out again." β
Wang Qiao picked up the wine glass and said, "I wish my senior brother all his wishes come true as soon as possible." β
Lei Chengdao: "Wang Qiao has been transferred to three positions in more than a year after he came out, all of them are leaders, and this is not something we can compare with in the agency to improve their ability." β
"But after all, there are more opportunities in the provincial authorities." Wang Qiao didn't say much about this topic, and said with a smile: "Touch another cup, senior brother." β
For Lao Qiu and Fat Dun, who are reporters, it is normal for the leaders of the Propaganda Department Office of the Provincial Party Committee to serve as deputy secretaries in the following counties, and they cannot arouse too much reaction.
For Wang Qiao, who is at the grassroots level, the director of the office has just served as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in his early thirties. This is a high position that the vast majority of grassroots cadres will never be able to attain. In Shannan's cadre appointment and dismissal system, they serve the upper echelons. The chances of being promoted are the most, if it is purely a township. To serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in his early thirties is definitely excellent, such as Hou Weidong.
Wang Qiao was not able to stay in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, but became a candidate of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, which was actually a huge loss for him. It is possible to succeed in working hard in Changdong, but the opportunity to get is far worse than staying in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. This is a reality that individuals cannot change under the current system in Shannan.
On the other hand, in a place, most of the local cadres are locals, except for a few key leaders. The principal leaders have to leave for a few years, while the local cadres have to survive here for a long time, and this has formed a delicate balance. Without a high-quality local cadre, no matter how powerful the foreign leaders are, they will not be able to change the face of a region.
After drinking and sending off the guests, Wang Qiao and Li Lingqiu stood at the door of the Provincial Traffic Hotel. Wang Qiao said: "Commissioner Li, I will stay here for a day tomorrow, and you will go back with Lao Zhao first." "Because there are not many vehicles in Chengguan Town. When Wang Qiao came to the province, he asked a car to return to Chengguan Town, Changdong in advance, and the two only kept one car.
Li Lingqiu said: "If Lao Zhao and I leave, you won't have a car." I took the bus back to Changdong. Leave the car to you. β
Wang Qiao smiled: "What are you polite to me, I am at home in Shannan, and I am familiar with people." I don't need a car, and I'll find a way to go back by myself. β
"No, I can't. I can't take the car away. How many days does Secretary Wang stay in Yangzhou? β
"I've got an errand tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll wait for you. It's hard for me to get Shannan once and go shopping. Feel the trend of Yangzhou, so as not to stay in Changdong for a long time and really become a hillbilly. β
If she didn't come to the provincial capital before, Li Lingqiu was more curious about Wang Qiao, but now that she followed Wang Qiao to do something, her opinion of Wang Qiao has changed. When working with Lao Ding, she and Lao Ding looked very humble in front of the provincial news media, and they had to keep toasting, saying nice flattery, and giving red envelopes. When working with Wang Qiao, she rarely won the respect of young reporters from the provincial newspaper, not only did she not have to take the initiative to toast, but she was also called Sister Li. If this title is normal in Changdong, it is relatively rare to come from the mouth of a reporter from the provincial newspaper. She clearly knew that the respect she had received was actually brought by Wang Qiao.
"You're welcome, I've been wanting to pick out a few clothes for a long time."
"Okay then." Wang Qiao accepted Li Lingqiu's kindness.
Li Lingqiu opened a room at the Provincial Transportation Hotel and agreed to return to Changdong at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Wang Qiao returned to Huarong Community and lived in his sister's house.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, Wang Qiao got up early and went out to exercise as usual. This time he came to the province to run errands, he didn't bring sneakers, he couldn't run, so he walked briskly along the street. He didn't have a goal, he just walked casually, thinking about his thoughts as he walked briskly.
After walking for more than half an hour, I saw a big signboard on the street - the old taste of local cuisine. This is a signboard removed from the old store outside Shannan University, needless to say, it must be a new restaurant opened by Du Min and a few people. Sure enough, he saw a few familiar faces in the small faΓ§ade next to the local restaurant.
"Hey, it's Wang Qiao."
"Brother Man."
"Brother Man."
The two middle-aged women who were busy in the breakfast hall stopped what they were doing and greeted Wang Qiao. After Wang Qiao left school, several female workers of Changdong Silk Spinning Factory took advantage of the expansion of the campus of Shannan University to discuss breaking away from Wangqiao and starting their own businesses. Du Min didn't go against the will, so he agreed to the proposal of several female workers. Du Min and the female workers reopened this old taste local restaurant not far from Shannan University, and after the opening of the restaurant, business was very good.
Wang Qiao saw the employees who had been running the store together for several years, and despite the twists and turns in the middle, he still felt quite cordial, he walked to the front of the store and said, "Are you opening here?" Why do you still sell breakfast? How's the business? Is Du Min here? β
He asked four questions in a row, and a female worker surnamed Zhang laughed and said, "Brother Man, come in and sit down, and I'll answer you one by one." Why are you here, I heard that you went back to Changdong to work. β
Wang Qiao entered the store and sat down.
Soon, Du Min appeared in front of him, looked at Wang Qiao and said with a smile: "My ears have been itching last night, so I guessed that something must have happened today, but I didn't expect to see Brother Man early in the morning." β
Du Min is much richer than in previous years. His face was pale and he wore a Tang costume. There are also delicate little earrings on the ears.
Wang Qiao said: "I have to exercise every morning, you know. Last night I stayed at my sister's house in Huarong Community. Scattered in the morning, I came to you. β
Du Min said: "You haven't had breakfast, you want to eat something, the breakfast here is all Changdong characteristics, there are bean curd rice, pig cake, still covering noodles, bowls of mixed noodles, all the special breakfast that Changdong has, there are here." I found that there are a lot of Changdong people in Yangzhou, and many people want to eat here. β
Wang Qiao walked sweating, and didn't want to eat too dry food, so he asked for a bowl of miscellaneous food, and said, "You guys moved here, how is the business?" β
Du Min said: "At first, the business was not very good, and it took a while to slowly get up. β
Wang Qiao looked at the breakfast full of Changdong characteristics, and remembered that he had heard Uncle Tang mention many times that he missed the delicacy of the sharp-headed fish, and asked, "Do you have any sharp-headed fish here?" β
Du Min shook his head and said, "No." Sharphead fish are few and expensive, and we generally don't sell them. β
Wang Qiao asked for a piece of paper and wrote down the landline phone number of a dry goods store in the Taiping Farmers' Market in Xicheng District. Said: "I have a treat in the near future, I need a pointed fish, this dry goods store is in Xicheng." He often has a sharphead fish in his house, you can help me contact him. Just say I want it. If you have, buy it back. There is no problem with raising it for more than ten days. β
"When do you need it, call in advance, I will search all over the province, and I can always find it." Du Min has always been grateful to Wang Qiao, not only including Wang Qiao taking himself away from the catering industry, but also his generosity when they broke up later.
Wang Qiao said: "I can't be sure now, I'll call in advance then." β
"Brother Man, try our bowl of mixed noodles, it is definitely as authentic as the bowl of mixed noodles in the back street of the normal school." The female worker surnamed Zhang brought a steaming bowl of mixed noodles, and the pale yellow bowl of beans covered the noodles, obviously more varieties than the usual bowl of mixed noodles.
While eating a bowl of mixed noodles, a familiar female worker came to say hello from time to time.
"Wang Qiao, why do you eat noodles here?"
When Wang Qiao appeared at the breakfast shop, Zhang Xiaoya, who was sitting in the middle room, noticed him. She originally wanted to clean up, but when she saw that Wang Qiao and the staff of the breakfast shop were very familiar, she was a little curious, so she didn't say hello, but just hid aside to observe. She finished eating the noodles and was about to pay at the front desk, so she greeted Wang Qiao.
There were a lot of people eating breakfast, Zhang Xiaoya sat in the middle seat again, Wang Qiao really didn't see her, and said, "You are also eating here?" It's too early to get out of school. β
Zhang Xiaoya said: "My dad called me and asked me to go home, saying that it was to discuss things. I thought I'd have to go back anyway, so I'll come over for breakfast first. I often eat breakfast here and the taste here is authentic from home. β
Wang Qiao said: "I am going to your house with my sister this morning. β
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Is Grandpa Wang coming back?" β
Wang Qiao said: "It's just to discuss this matter." β
When the female worker who collected the money saw that Wang Qiao and Zhang Xiaoya knew each other, she resolutely refused to accept the money. Zhang Xiaoya said: "If you don't collect money, I will be embarrassed to come to dinner in the future." I love the breakfast here, and you have to charge money to come and eat it often. Du Min smiled: "This is the reason, Brother Man is here today, I will definitely invite him and his friends, just this time, okay." β
This reason is acceptable, Zhang Xiaoya put the money back, and asked Wang Qiao: "When will you come home?" Wang Qiao said: "Wang Xiao lives in Huarong Community, I had breakfast and came with her, about ten o'clock." β
"Then I'll go first." Zhang Xiaoya walked to the door and stopped, turned around and said, "The pork ribs here are very delicious, my dad likes it, can you bring one back." β
Du Min smiled: "No problem, I'll arrange it later." β
When Zhang Xiaoya left the shop, she secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, Xiao Zhao didn't come with me today, if she knew that I had this relationship with Wang Qiao, she would definitely be angry." This infatuated stupid woman has not yet come out of the shadows. β
Du Min said: "This girl is from Changdong? β
Wang Qiao said: "She was in Changdong when she was a child, and now she is studying at Shannan University, and she is in the same department as me. β
"The pork ribs she wants, I'll arrange it later, when will you come and get it." Du Min couldn't help but say curiously: "Brother Man is going to their house, is it a relative?" β
Wang Qiao said: "It's a world friend." His father's name is Zhang Dashan, do you have any impression? β
Du Min shook his head and said, "I used to work in the factory, and I only knew the people in the factory. β
A female worker next to her said: "Zhang Dashan, I know, it seems that he is an official in the county." β
Du Min stood at the door of the store, looked at Zhang Xiaoya's slender back, and said, "This girl is simple and generous, and she is knowledgeable at first glance." β
