Chapter 236 Old subordinates

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye, although people are not in Nanjiang, Zeng Yi still received a lot of greeting calls, he is now the deputy director of the Baiyang High-tech Park Management Committee, and there are many people who take the opportunity to say hello to him.

In the evening, Zeng Yi received a strange phone call, because the man said "Doctor Zeng", a title that no one had called for a long time.

"I'm Zeng Yi, may I ask who you are." Zeng Yi felt that the other party's accent was relatively unfamiliar, so he took the initiative to ask.

There was a hearty laugh on the phone: "It's me, Lao Meng, Meng Qunsheng!" ”

Zeng Yi was very surprised, this is a surprise, since Meng Qunsheng was picked up by the military doctor last year, the two have not been in touch, he said: "It turned out to be Brother Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Meng Qunsheng smiled on the phone: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" I'm really sorry that I should have called you a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. You're in the capital now, aren't you? ”

Zeng Yi said: "Yes, I am currently in the capital!" He said in his heart how Meng Qunsheng knew.

"I went back to Nanjiang a few days ago, and the person I wanted to see the most was you, but when I inquired, I learned that you went to the capital, and we happened to be two forks." Meng Qunsheng smiled, "Now that I'm back in the capital, if you don't have any arrangements, let's have dinner together in the evening, my father also wants to see you." ”

Zeng Yi thought about it, there was really no arrangement in the evening, Fang Nanguo accompanied his family in the courtyard, Tang Haoran wanted to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival party organized by the Provincial Beijing Office, Zeng Yi was a cadre in Baiyang City, and it was not suitable to live in the Provincial Beijing Office, and it was inconvenient for him to attend the evening party, so he said: "Okay, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I also miss Brother Meng and Uncle Meng very much." ”

"Do you live in the Baiyang Beijing Office? I'll have someone pick you up! Meng Qunsheng spoke now, with a heavy official tone.

Zeng Yi said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have a car here, and Brother Meng said that the place will do." ”

"Then I won't be polite to you, let's talk about it in detail when we meet." Meng Qunsheng laughed a few words, and then explained the place to eat at night, in the Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace, listening to the name, he knew that it was not a place.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Yi saw that the time was not early, so he packed up his things, went to talk to Tang Haoran, and then went downstairs and went out of the Beijing Office.

The driver of the provincial office in Beijing is very familiar with the capital, and when he heard Zeng Yi report the name of the place, he said: "Director Zeng is really hard, and he has to be busy with work during the holidays, which really makes us all admire." ”

Zeng Yi smiled: "It's not work, it's an invitation from an old friend." ”

The driver said: "This friend of Director Zeng must be a senior official in the capital ministry." ”

Zeng Yi was a little puzzled, what Meng Qunsheng is doing now, he really doesn't know, but he doesn't know why the driver said this, "How do you say this?" ”

"Jinghua Imperial Banquet Palace is not an ordinary place, people from other places who come to the capital ministries and commissions to run money and run projects, they generally choose to treat here, where the grade is very high, not everyone can enter casually, as soon as you enter, the people you see inside are not the Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, or the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development." The driver sent the leaders of the province to go a few times, and he had some understanding of the situation inside, and seeing that Zeng Yi was interested, he immediately said that he was a smallpox pendant, a restaurant, and he was about to blow it into the Sangong court.

Zeng Yi smiled and asked, "What about the food in the Imperial Banquet Palace?" ”

"Delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and animals, as long as you want to eat, there are all in it, as for the taste......" The driver laughed embarrassedly, "I am a driver, how can I go in to eat, and I will smell it at the door." ”

Zeng Yi knew that this driver was just hearsay, and he hadn't even entered the hotel, so how could he know what was going on inside, "You have a good mouth tonight, but you can't drink, and you have to send me back after eating." ”

When the driver heard this, he didn't react at first, and when he came back to his senses, he nodded violently and said, "Director Zeng, don't worry, I promise that I won't get a drop of alcohol, go safely, and return safely!" After speaking, as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car lifted a lot and went straight to the Imperial Banquet Palace.

Today, Zeng Yi is going to a banquet, not to talk about work, there is nothing to avoid, and he asked the driver to come out to pick him up during the holidays.

The entrance of the Imperial Banquet Palace looked more like the entrance to a garden area, and the doorman saluted, and without stopping it, he let Zeng Yi's car in.

The inside is very large, shaded by green trees, the car follows the prompts of the roadside signs, and only after turning around, it comes to a building full of fashion sense, under the lighting effect, the building looks resplendent and full of luxury.

At this time, a doorman immediately stepped forward to salute, pulled the car door, and the foreman of the hotel stood at the door of the car almost at the same time, and said with a smile: "Hello guests, do you have an appointment?" ”

Zeng Yi got out of the car and said, "My surname is Zeng, and I made an appointment with Mr. Meng!" ”

The foreman remembered it so well, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "It turns out that Director Zeng, hello, the room booked by Director Meng is here, please follow me." ”

The driver grabbed Zeng Yi's bag at this time and picked it up, and said, "Director Zeng, I'll come, I'll come!" "He has sent the leader here a few times, although he has never been in, but he also knows how powerful the reception here is. As long as you are a frequent visitor here, the doorman at the entrance just now will know which leader is coming as soon as you look at the car and license plate, and when you get off here, the hotel will know who to send out to greet you, and the name and position will never be wrong.

The two followed the foreman into the hall, and were about to go back, when they heard a surprised female voice next to them: "Director Zeng!" ”

Zeng Yi listened to the voice very familiar, turned his head to look, and now it turned out to be Yan Rong, sitting next to her was Yan Zhidao, the former deputy mayor of Longshan City, Zeng Yi immediately strode forward and said, "Mayor Yan, hello!" ”

Yan Zhidao was also very surprised when he saw Zeng Yi, and he remembered what Yan Rong said to himself at the airport before, could it be that the person who was picked up by Jun A was really Zeng Yi? If it is true, then this young man's background is too deep, he stood up, held Zeng Yi's outstretched hand, smiled, and said: "It's Zeng, I didn't expect to meet you here, it seems that we are very fateful!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled and said: "I am Mayor Yan's old subordinate, and of course I have a fate with Mayor Yan." ”

"You are my old subordinate of Lao Yan, and my Jia Yan is your old subordinate again, haha! Yan was taken care of by you before, but I, the old Yan, didn't take much care of you! Yan Zhidao joked, Zeng Yi is not a cadre in Longshan now, and there is no need to be taboo when he says this.

Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "Yan didn't help me a little in the past." When did Mayor Yan arrive in the capital this time? ”

"It's been a few days!" Yan Zhidao pointed to the sand, "Come, sit down and talk!" ”

Zeng Yi asked Yan Zhidao to sit down first, and then said to the foreman just now: "You go and get busy first, I'll sit here for a while, and if Director Meng arrives, notify me!" ”

"Okay!" The foreman smiled and bowed, then retreated to the door.

As soon as Yan Zhidao heard the words "Director Meng", he asked: "I went to the capital this time, is it a matter of work?" "He, the executive deputy mayor, went to the capital to do business, begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and he went all the way, and he may not be able to make an appointment with the real power director of the ministry.

Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "It's an old friend from Rongcheng who asked me to have a meal together." ”

Yan Zhidao didn't ask anymore, who came to the Imperial Banquet Palace to eat, and who didn't come to "run the money in", Zeng Yi obviously didn't tell the truth. However, this is also understandable, although they are all cadres from Nanjiang Province, but when they come here, they are competitors, and the money is granted to you for the project, then he will not be there, Zeng Yi is now a cadre in Baiyang City, so it is naturally impossible to tell the truth to himself.

This is pure officialdom logic, but he didn't expect Zeng Yi to really come to the banquet, he can't say it clearly, because Zeng Yi doesn't know what Meng Qunsheng is doing now, and he still heard the sentence "Director Meng" from the waiter.

Yan Rong said at this time: "Director Zeng, I have often seen reports about Baiyang High-tech Park in the provincial newspaper recently, and it is more interesting to follow you." Ever since you left Nanyun, Nanyun hasn't been in the provincial newspaper again! ”

Yan Zhidao frowned, and immediately corrected: "Zeng is now the director of Baiyang High-tech Park, what Director Zeng!" "The leaders in the officialdom are especially taboo about this, shouting the official title of the past, isn't this cursing the officials of other people's houses to do more and more! Yan Zhidao has never dealt with Zeng Yi and doesn't know Zeng Yi's temper, but he doesn't want his daughter to offend people because of this detail, he still remembers the situation when Feng Yuqin personally came down to support Zeng Yi!

Zeng Yi smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, I feel very kind to hear Yan call me like this." ”

Yan Rong smiled playfully, "I'm not joking, Director Zeng, if your high-tech park is vacant, you have to be the first to think of me!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, "We are old partners, if you are willing to come, of course I will welcome you with both hands, but I am afraid that you will regret it when you come, the high-tech park is not as comfortable as Nanyun!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Yan Rong stretched out his hand towards Zeng Yi, "You are now a big leader, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

Zeng Yi shook his head helplessly, swore a high-five with Yan Rong, and said: "Aren't you in the opposite direction, Mayor Yan's official is much older than me, and the big leader in front of him doesn't want to curry favor, but he comes to make fun of me." ”

Yan Zhidao said with a smile: "This is called a girl's extroversion, she can't look down on her own power in her eyes." ”

In the western suburbs of Yuquan Mountain, some important people of the Zhai family are all gathered together at this moment to accompany Zhai Lao to eat, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how big the event is, it is not as important as the reunion of the family, that is, the leader who holds great power, and it is no exception.

In the Chang Mansion not far from Zhai's house, this is almost the case, but compared to the Zhai family, it feels a little sparse. Chang Hongying has no brothers and sisters, only one son, Chang Shengyi, who is now the vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and when he arrives at Chang Junlong, the Chang family is already three generations of single heirlooms. Chang Junlong, the only seedling, is the baby bump of the three generations of the Chang family, and it is a collection of thousands of pets.

But at this moment, Chang Hongying, the old man of the Chang family, looks at his grandson is not very pleasing to the eye, Chang Junlong is twenty-eight years old this year, but he has not yet had a trace of certainty, and he is out all day long to attract bees and butterflies, which makes Chang Hongying very angry, according to his plan, he should let Chang Junlong get married quickly, especially since this year, Chang Hongying feels that his body is not as good as before, and this mind is even heavier.

After eating, the family sat in the living room drinking tea, and Chang Hongying talked about this topic again, "Junlong, once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, there is not much time before the end of the year, how did you do what you promised!" ”

Chang Junlong began to have a headache, he really didn't expect the old man to play real this time, in order to force himself to get married, all means were used, there are several projects this year, Chang Junlong wants to do it very much, but to succeed, he must rely on the face of the old man and his father, who knows that both of them are in one sentence: when to get married, when to take care of you.

"Do it, when have I ever let my grandfather down!" Chang Junlong said perfunctorily.

Chang Hongying was even more unhappy, and said: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, a manly man, why don't you have a wife, you will keep me away from that girl from the Long family in the future!" ”

Chang Shengyi said: "Father, dissipate your anger, Junlong will understand!" ”

Chang Junlong muttered in a low voice: "Can you blame me for this!" If you hadn't fallen out with the old man of the Zhai family, I would have taken care of the girl surnamed Long a long time ago! ”

Although the voice of the prison sao was low, the room was very quiet at this time, and everyone could still hear it clearly!

"Bastard!"

Chang Shengyi was furious, the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground, stood up and shouted: "You rebellious obstacle, you dare to talk to grandpa like this, apologize quickly!" ”

Chang Junlong's face was also pale, knowing that he was in trouble, this matter is where Old Man Chang's backlash is, it is an eternal scar, for so many years, except for Zhai Lao on the other side, who dares to mention this, this is not to expose Old Man Chang's shortcomings!

"Grandpa, I didn't mean to......" Chang Junlong didn't know what to say, it was really a disaster from his mouth, he said: "I was duplicitous just now, in fact, I didn't mean that." ”

Chang Hongying sat there, without saying a word, the room was frighteningly quiet, and no one dared to breathe.

After a long time, Chang Hongying sighed and said, "I'm tired, you've seen me too, so let's go back!" After speaking, Chang Hongying stood up slowly, and Liao Xin, a staff officer of the guard, immediately stepped forward and helped him into the bedroom inside.

Chang Shengyi was very angry and reprimanded Chang Junlong fiercely, until his wife opened his mouth to intercede, and then he gave up.

Chang Junlong was trained so that his face was a little unbearable, and when he saw that his father was silent, he left Chang Mansion sullenly and drove down the mountain, he couldn't afford to provoke him, and he could afford to hide.

The car drove to the Imperial Banquet Palace, and as soon as he got out of the car, Chang Junlong saw Zeng Yi who was sitting on the sand in the hall. He was not in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Zeng Yi, the anger in his heart suddenly rose, and he couldn't suppress it anymore. Last time in the hotel of the old palace, this son made himself lose face, and now the ugly thing has spread all over the entire circle of sons in the capital, and whoever sees him makes fun of it, making himself very faceless.

The duty manager of the Imperial Banquet Palace, a graceful beauty, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Chang Shao, you haven't been here for a long time, if you want to eat something today, I'll let someone prepare it immediately." ”

Chang Junlong looked at Zeng Yi inside hatefully, and said, "Go to Building 7!" ”

After speaking, Chang Junlong turned around and got into the car, and the big beauty then sat in, and the car left the door of the hall, turned in front, and entered the depths of the garden.

Zeng Yi sat in the hall, chatted with Yan Zhidao for a long time, and asked Yan Rong about the recent situation in Nanyun County. Zeng Yi asked Yan Zhidao about the purpose of coming to the capital this time, but Yan Zhidao gave a word and did not elaborate, Yan Rong next to him wanted to say, but was stopped by his father's eyes.

While chatting, a foreman came over and said, "Section Chief Sun has arrived!" ”

Yan Zhidao immediately stood up and said, "Zeng, I want to go to receive the leaders of the ministries and commissions, so I will miss the company, and when the matter is done, we will contact again and have a good get-together." After speaking, Yan Zhidao hurried to the door.

Yan Rong dragged behind, and said: "We came to the capital this time, it was a matter of running the airport, if Director Zeng knows any acquaintances, you must help introduce them, we are all dying of sorrow now, there is no one in the court!" Yan Rong made a bitter face, stuck out his tongue at Zeng Yi, and hurriedly followed.

Zeng Yi shook his head and smiled, Mayor Yan was too cautious, was he still afraid that he would rob his project? You must know that Baiyang is close to Rongcheng and is just in the radiation circle of Rongcheng International Airport, so it is impossible to build another airport, which is a repeated investment construction.

Yan Zhidao couldn't help but guard against Zeng Yi, if the leaders of Baiyang City were determined to achieve this political achievement, repeated investment would not be a problem at all. Why Zeng Yi is here today, who can tell whether it was intentional or unintentional coincidence? Invited by an old friend, Yan Zhidao didn't believe it anyway.

Zeng Yi was thinking about whether to continue to wait for Meng Qunsheng here, or to sit in the private room first, Yan Zhidao had already led a middle-aged man with white and gold-rimmed glasses to walk in.

"Section Chief Sun, your willingness to come to the appointment has made us local cadres feel a great encouragement! Tonight, on behalf of the local comrades, I must salute the leaders of the capital with a few glasses of wine! Yan Zhidao laughed heartily.

Section Chief Sun was not very happy, and said: "The wine is free, the liver has been uncomfortable recently, and the doctor said that it was all drunk by your comrades in these places." I'm short on time, so hurry up and talk about things! ”

Zeng Yi had long known that when local cadres arrived in the capital, they would encounter the treatment of "difficult things to do and difficult to hear", but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Yan Zhidao is also the mayor of a city, a department-level cadre, but when he arrived in the capital, he had to be so kind to a section chief, and even whispered, and the other party still didn't appreciate it.

At this time, a foreman stepped forward and said, "Hello VIP, you have booked a private room No. 23, please come with me!" ”

As soon as Section Chief Sun heard this, his steps stopped, he stretched out his hand to hold his glasses, and said, "Mayor Yan, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially took the time to come over to listen to your report, the time is too tight!" It's a big holiday, I think we should talk about it here, it's convenient for you, and I might as well rush back to reunite with my family as soon as possible! ”

Yan Zhidao's face was immediately embarrassed, but it was only fleeting, and he knew in his heart that Section Chief Sun was thinking that the grade of the private room was too low!
