Chapter 456 Jinghua State Banquet
. Zhang Wenqi smiled reservedly and said: "The old leader's condition is getting better day by day, during this time, everyone has been worried about helping for this matter, I have long wanted to invite everyone to a meal and chat to express gratitude, not because of work." At work, there is only this statement at present, and it is still unknown whether it can be implemented in the end! β
"The old leader's illness is very worthy of celebration, this meal is to be eaten, but there is no need to thank you, who let us be classmates!" He Xiangdong waved his hand, and said in his heart that Zhang Wenqi was lucky this time, and he was transferred to the provincial government office.
People in the system have always been cautious and cautious in doing things, and if they are not sure, who dares to invite guests in advance, and if it fails at that time, won't it become a slap in the face? Although Zhang Wenqi said that the work has not yet been finalized, everyone understands in their hearts that since Zhang Wenqi proposed to invite guests to dinner, this matter is basically settled, and it is only necessary for Zhang Wenqi to take office after graduation.
"Let's decide where to eat!" Zhang Wenqi was very generous, took the initiative to mention a location, and said: "Why don't you decide on the Jixiang Hotel mentioned last time, or the Wangfu Hotel?" β
"It seems that Brother Zhang is ready to bleed, so let's slaughter Brother Zhang?" He Xiangdong made a joke and said with a smile: "Don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" β
Shi Wei thought for a moment and said, "I think these two places are a bit mysterious!" Tomorrow dinner, today to book, I'm afraid it's difficult to book a place, I have a better choice! β
Everyone looked at Shi Wei and wanted to know what Shi Wei's better choice was, and the better hotels in the capital than these two hotels were Jingxi Hotel and Diaoyutai. But it's even harder to get a seat there!
"The former Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace, two days ago changed a place to reopen, the new name is Jinghua State Banquet, the grade is not lower than the Jixiang Hotel and the Wangfu Hotel, but because of the two-year closure, there are discounts for the recent opening, and the seats are easier to book. Let's get together as brothers. It's the most cost-effective and cost-effective place to go. Shi Wei said.
When He Xiangdong heard it, he said: "I don't know this news, it seems that Brother Shi Wei has a wide network in the capital!" β
Shi Wei smiled, a little complacent, but said: "Where do I have any connections in the capital, but our city's Beijing Office still has some activity ability." A few days ago, the Jinghua State Banquet reopened, and our Beijing Office went to express our congratulations. The other party also sent a card, saying that it can not only book a seat in advance, but also be able to get a 20% discount on the basis of the discount! β
Zhang Wenqi slapped the board and said: "It's hard to get blood once, let's set the Jinghua State Banquet, I have only heard of its name, but I haven't seen it!" But it's a matter of booking a seat. I'm going to leave it to Brother Shi Wei. β
Shi Wei said: "I have a very good relationship with the director of the city's Beijing Office. Borrow this card and use it, it should still be no problem! β
Zhang Wenqi said again: "If you feel good after eating tomorrow, I will have a leader who will come to the capital for business in a few days, and I am afraid that I will have to borrow Brother Shi Wei's card again!" β
"I can't guarantee whether I can lend it out at that time, but when it comes to booking a seat, as long as Brother Zhang greets him, I will definitely do it for you!" Shi Wei didn't have a packed ticket, but it was equivalent to a packed ticket. As long as you can book it in place, it's a trivial matter whether the discount is not discounted.
When everyone saw that Zhang Wenqi was going to make such a big money, they understood a little, I was afraid that the leader Zhang Wenqi was going to receive had a great deal to do with his work promotion this time, maybe it was a certain provincial leader in Xijiang Province. Tomorrow, Zhang Wenqi invites everyone to dinner, and by the way, he may also go to inspect the environment of the Jinghua State Banquet. This shows that Zhang Wenqi attaches great importance to the reception of leaders this time.
After the matter was settled, Shi Wei took out the phone and happily dialed the director of the Xunzhou Municipal Office in Beijing, and it didn't take long. The other party called back and said that the seat had been booked.
Zhang Wenqi said: "There is Brother Lao Shiwei!" β
Shi Wei put on a phone call, besides, it was Brother Zhang who paid the money, and we went to eat and drink for nothing! β
Shi Wei is now very willing to help Zhang Wenqi with this little favor, and seriously speaking, in the dormitory before, Shi Wei valued his roommates to the extent that Zeng Yi was still above Zhang Wenqi.
Don't look at Zeng Yi as just a deputy chief clerk, being able to study at the Central Party School shows that the county still attaches great importance to him, if he is excluded, the Party School of the County Party Committee will easily put Zeng Yi in, why is he assigned to the Central Party School? The deputy chief clerk is gilded, and the most he can do when he goes back is to get a deputy department, okay, he can mention the main department, Shi Wei can't look down on this level, but he can't stand Zeng Yi's youth, there is still a long way to go in the future, and no one can say how far it can develop, so Shi Wei is polite to Zeng Yi.
And Zhang Wenqi is different, at the age of forty, he can't stand any stumbling at all, plus his backer fell ill and was squeezed out by political opponents, Zhang Wenqi's future is almost no bright at all. No matter where he is, he has always relied on strength to speak, Zhang Wenqi is difficult to protect, how can he make others value him.
But no one expected that things would take such a big turn, Zhang Wenqi was excluded in the county, but he was unexpectedly transferred to the provincial government. There is no need to talk about the importance of the provincial government, the important thing is to be able to move around often under the noses of the leaders, and the future is really difficult to talk about at this time. Go to the provincial government to casually turn around, plating gold, and go down to the secretary of the county party committee, which is nine out of ten; If the leaders appreciate it, there is no problem in transitioning to the provincial government for two years, and it is no problem to become a deputy secretary-general, and then it is also promising to get a real important position in the prefecture and city; The worst is that he can also serve as a first- or second-in-command in provincial-level departments and bureaus.
Zhang Wenqi, who used to run at the back, suddenly accelerated, but instead ran in front of everyone, which has to make people feel that the world is impermanent.
If such a thing is put on the competitors of the same unit, many people will inevitably be jealous, but on his classmates, Shi Wei feels fortunate that he did not come to the party school in vain and met a powerful classmate.
This reminded Zeng Yi of Wang Biao, Wang Biao's jealousy is too strong, a typical nest, not compared with others. On the contrary, he had to distinguish the winners and losers with his classmates in everything, and because he mixed well, Wang Biao stumbled everywhere. I don't know what he thinks, but in fact, if his classmates do a good job, it's not a help to himself.
After the meal was decided, He Xiangdong and Shi Wei surrounded Zhang Wenqi and inquired about the inside story of this work change.
It turned out that Wang Tietao's condition had improved greatly. was able to speak freely, so he called his backer, that is, the executive vice governor of Xijiang Province, and he did not mention the slightest concern for Zhang Wenqi on the phone, because the governor had no energy to pay attention to a small person, Wang Tietao just truthfully told about his current situation during this time.
This trick is very clever, talking about his own situation and other people's steering, and putting Zhang Wenqi's image of love and righteousness. It came out on top.
The big butler under the executive vice governor has been following him for several years, and if he doesn't let go of it and find a real job, it is really difficult to say that it is reasonable. He especially appreciates Zhang Wenqi's unwavering commitment to the old leader, Zhang Wenqi is now unlucky, at this time, he pulls a little bit, Zhang Wenqi will definitely be loyal to himself. There is absolutely no problem with loyalty. So the executive vice governor intended to put Zhang Wenqi by his side to observe.
Figuring out the inside story of the matter, He Xiangdong and Shi Wei couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, in the officialdom, they have always been with the red top and the white, and the people who see the wind and steer will not suffer a big loss, but they didn't expect that an honest person like Zhang Wenqi also had a lot of luck, and this kind of thing is no less than a big pie falling from the world.
After the afternoon class of the next day, everyone was ready to go.
Get out of school. I saw He Xiangdong's secretary running over from the opposite side and said, "County magistrate, according to your instructions, I brought the best two cars of the Beijing Office over!" β
He Xiangdong bowed slightly, then turned to everyone and smiled: "The seat of the hotel was booked by Brother Shi Wei, and I will help you solve the problem of transportation!" I don't have a car when I go out. Still not very convenient to drop! The meaning of this is to go to a place like the Jinghua State Banquet to eat, without a good car and a strong faΓ§ade, I am afraid that it will not work, and this is also something that was decided last night.
Zeng Yi carried the bag in his hand. Laughing: "I can't be empty-handed, these two bottles of wine." Let's wipe everyone out tonight! β
Shi Wei took a look and found that it was two bottles of Moutai with a high number, although it was not the kind of special treasure, but it was also very valuable, so he said: "I can't see it, the old man's family background is quite thick!" β
Zeng Yi didn't want to be picked out, so he explained with a smile: "These two bottles of wine cost me two months' salary, but it's worth it to follow Brother Zhang to see the most famous Jinghua state banquet in the capital!" These two bottles of wine were carefully selected by Zeng Yi, neither high-profile nor low-grade, since everyone has contribution, Zeng Yi naturally can't sit idly by.
Shi Wei didn't hear the flaw, so he patted Zeng Yi's shoulder and said, "The old man is a real person, but this abacus is not bad, hehe!" I can guarantee that you will definitely make the trip today! β
As he spoke, the driver drove the car over, all of them were the same style of Daben, it seems that the strength of the Beijing Office in Qingshan County is very strong.
Two cars, four people, who sits in the front car, who sits in the back car is a problem, Zeng Yi took the initiative to say: "One for the eldest brother and the second brother, one for the third brother and the fourth brother, I will take this car!" β
When Shi Wei heard this, he said: "This arrangement is very good, let's go, our third brother and fourth brother are close and close!" With that, Shi Wei and Zeng Yi got into one of them.
He Xiangdong immediately arranged for his secretary to follow Zeng Yi's car, and then invited Zhang Wenqi to get into another car, and then everyone set off and went to the Jinghua State Banquet.
The new address of the Jinghua State Banquet is not far from the hot springs that Zeng Yi had soaked in before. Although the name has been changed, the style is still the same as before, it is still a garden-style hotel, on a land of hundreds of acres, there are more than a dozen buildings, which are used to entertain guests of different levels.
Even the layout is the same as the previous Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace, after the car enters the gate of the Imperial Banquet Palace, it goes around the garden several times before it reaches the front of a magnificent building.
After stepping into the hall, Zhang Wenqi and He Xiangdong, who came here for the first time, were taken aback, because of their professions, they usually see this kind of high-end hotel, but with the two of them are well-informed, it is also the first time to see the luxury of the top hotel in Beijing, and the restaurants they have eaten in before, including the hotel used by the provincial party committee to receive, I am afraid that all of them will not be able to catch up here.
In addition to the splendid luxury, you can see antique decorations everywhere, and the beautiful waiters who have been carefully selected. It's all amazing, and I have to sigh at the strength of the Jinghua State Banquet, in the end, it's the capital.
After the waiter asked a few people, he led everyone into the pre-booked private room, and the decoration in the private room was more upscale than the outside.
Shi Wei, as a person who had come once, waited for the waiter to leave. He introduced to everyone: "Brother Zhang, this place is good, there is absolutely no problem with entertaining leaders." To put it mildly, when I first came here, it was like a bun entering the city, and Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, which greatly opened her eyes! β
As he spoke, Shi Wei patted his chair casually. said: "It's just any chair here, it's not ordinary, it all has a history!" β
He Xiangdong didn't notice the chairs, but he noticed a few paintings hanging on the walls of the private room, which were all works by famous artists back then, each of which was worth hundreds of thousands, and the private room booked today. It's not the best private room in the Jinghua State Banquet. I really don't know how luxurious the best private rooms here will be.
Shi Wei continued to say there, "The chefs here are all special chefs who have done state banquets, and all the food and materials are directly purchased from the special vegetable base, so to speak, this is a veritable state banquet, what the central chief eats." All-you-can-eat tea here is a tea that is used to entertain guests for free, and it is also a rare treasure! β
Zhang Wenqi was shocked in his heart, but he could still maintain a faint smile on his face, and occasionally glanced to the side, he found that Zeng Yi was much calmer than himself, just holding the delicate porcelain teacup in his hand. With a calm face, he sipped a slow drink, not feeling any difference here, just as if it was an ordinary place to eat.
Zhang Wenqi has always been unable to see through Zeng Yi, including Zeng Yi's reaction in front of him, which also makes him unable to see through. It's too calming!
In fact, Zeng Yi also had an idea in his heart, and he finally understood a problem today. It is the local officials who run the money to come in the ministry why they choose to feast here for the leaders of the ministries and commissions, and the leaders of the ministries and commissions are also very willing to come here to eat. The strength of the boss behind the Jinghua State Banquet is only one aspect, and the main thing is the hard power here. What the chief eats and what kind of standard he eats, he can eat it here, and everyone is naturally willing to come here.
The Jinghua State Banquet was served quickly, and within a few minutes of everyone ordering, the waiter walked in with a cart to deliver the food, took down the delicious dishes from the top, placed them on the table, and introduced the name and characteristics of each dish.
This kind of serving speed also reflects the strength of the Jinghua State Banquet from the side, no matter how many guests there are, it can definitely ensure the speed of serving, and will not make the guests wait for an extra second.
"Come!" He Xiangdong first lifted the cup and said briskly: "Today's first glass of wine, I wish the old leader a speedy recovery, and I wish Brother Zhang a bright future!" Everyone's full of this cup! β
"Brother Zhang, in the future, you can't forget the brothers in our 312 dormitory!" Shi Wei smiled and toasted again.
When it came to Zeng Yi, Zeng Yi lifted the cup, just a simple sentence, "I have to thank Brother Zhang, today opened my eyes." β
Zhang Wenqi smiled and touched a glass with Zeng Yi, he still remembered that on the first day of reporting to the party school, he proposed to have a roommate party, but no one responded at that time, he was coldly hung there, or Zeng Yi helped him round the scene, saying that it was the first time he went to the capital, and he wanted to eat a bowl of fried noodles, so he wanted to ask himself to be a guide.
As for whether Zeng Yi really came to the capital for the first time, Zhang Wenqi felt that it was definitely not, so he remembered this favor, his little brother was a kind person, it was cold, and he was stunned to accompany him around the capital for most of the day.
The two bottles of wine brought by Zeng Yi were quickly eliminated, and Zhang Wenqi saw that everyone was happy to drink, so he ordered two more bottles.
After drinking another bottle, Shi Wei's phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and then he told everyone about it, and then got up and swayed out of the private room, which may be a very important phone, which is not very convenient for everyone to listen to.
The remaining three of them chatted, waiting for Shi Wei to come back and continue drinking, waiting left and right, after a full twenty minutes, and Shi Wei still didn't come back, Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Third brother can't find a private room, right?" Why don't I go out and have a look! β
Zhang Wenqi was also a little uneasy, and said, "Okay, then you will be tired and go out to take a look!" β
Zeng Yi stood up and walked towards the door of the private room, and as soon as he opened the door of the private room, he heard a loud noise outside, mixed with Shi Wei's voice, Zeng Yi said that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked outside.
Zhang Wenqi and He Xiangdong naturally heard it, so they stood up and walked out together.
The location is not far from the private room, just more than fifty meters in front, a group of people surrounded Shi Wei and shouted loudly, but Shi Wei was a little low and kept apologizing, but it seemed to be useless, the other party kept pushing and shoving, and he almost beat people directly.
Zeng Yi naturally couldn't let Shi Wei suffer, so he stepped forward quickly, directly pushed these people aside, and then stood in front of Shi Wei and said, "Third brother, are you okay?" β
Shi Wei finally saw one of his own people, and he was a little excited, as if he saw a savior, and said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay!" β
As he spoke, there was a thin and tall man on the other side, with a fierce face, and he had to reach out and pull Shi Wei's collar.
Zeng Yi raised his hand, pushed away the other party's hand, and said, "Friend, if you have something to say, don't do it at every turn!" β
The man stretched it out, and he was very unhappy at the time, so he raised his hand and pointed at Zeng Yi, "Who the hell is friends with you!" Which green onion are you, flash it to the side! β
Zeng Yi frowned at the time, in a high-end hotel like the Jinghua State Banquet, everyone who came in and out was a bit of a decent person, but he didn't expect that there would be such a person with no quality at all.
