At about half past five in the afternoon, He Shangzhi called Chen Mingyu again.

"Chen Ju, are you done with it over there?" He Shangzhi's voice was no longer as calm as before, but obviously a little anxious.

Presumably, it was Meng Yunpeng who lost his temper with He Shangzhi!

Chen Mingyu laughed secretly and said, "Director He, I just finished my busy work and was about to call you, so you called." Is Minister Meng still in the unit? I'll go to him. ”

He Shangzhi said: "You don't have to come over, you can go directly to Taibai Building." ”

Chen Mingyu said secretly, you He Shangzhi, I obviously told you in the afternoon that I was reporting to a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Culture, and you didn't ask me if I had any entertainment at night, just let me go to Taibai Building, it seems that you are not enough to dry!

However, Chen Mingyu is not good at hanging He Shangzhi anymore, after all, there is a Meng Yunpeng behind him, Meng Yunpeng is not only the head of the Propaganda Department, but also the deputy head of the cultural system reform team, and he will inevitably have to deal with him in the future, so he still has to give him face.

Chen Mingyu said: "Okay, then I'll go to Taibai Building to wait for Minister Meng now." ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyu called Lu Dongsheng again and asked, "Dongsheng, do you have time at night?" ”

Since Chen Mingyu helped Lu Dongsheng become the executive deputy director, Lu Dongsheng did not show any anti-bone face, but was very grateful to Chen Mingyu, and he looked at Chen Mingyu as the first to look at him, which made Chen Mingyu quite satisfied.

In fact, Lu Dongsheng's performance is also a very smart approach, after Chen Mingyu won the * and led the film company to achieve great results in two months, especially Chen Mingyu easily "got it" including Zhou Zhenshan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Xiangping, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and other Standing Committee members, so that after his "crazy plan" to build a cultural theater was implemented, Lu Dongsheng really felt that Chen Mingyu's energy was very huge!

So Lu Dongsheng knows very well that since Chen Mingyu can win * and help him become the executive deputy director, if he can't recognize his position, then Chen Mingyu is also fully capable of taking him down and supporting another executive deputy director. What's more, although he has been discredited because he has been dealt with, he is still the deputy director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, it is not impossible to make a comeback!

Therefore, Lu Dongsheng now has a strong sense of crisis, he knows that if he wants to sit firmly in his current position, he must hug Chen Mingyu's thighs tightly, and he must not do anything to challenge Chen Mingyu's authority!

In fact, Lu Dongsheng has a family dinner tonight, before Chen Mingyu called him, he just called his wife and said that he would pick her up immediately, but after getting Chen Mingyu's summons, Lu Dongsheng immediately said: "There is time!" There is time! What does Chen Ju command? ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Secretary Meng Yunpeng wants to have a meal with us in the evening, in Taibai Building, you can go over now, and I will also go." ”

Lu Dongsheng said repeatedly: "Okay! Good! Good! I'll go over now! Hey, by the way, Chen Ju, how many people are there on Minister Meng's side? How many rooms should I book? ”

Chen Mingyu said: "I don't know how many people there are, but I don't think there should be many people, so you can book a room for eight people." ”

Lu Dongsheng said: "Okay, Chen Ju, I understand. ”

"What's the matter, you want to get out?" Tang Xinyue asked with some disappointment when she saw Chen Mingyu changing clothes.

"Well, yes, there's a party, I have to go out." Chen Mingyu said.

"I don't think you went to work in the afternoon, so I thought you could be free tonight. A new Cantonese restaurant has opened on Huaihai Road, and it is said that there are a few dishes that are very good, and I want you to invite me to dinner! ”

Chen Mingyu walked over and hugged Tang Xinyue, kissed her ear, and said softly: "I'm sorry wife, it was Meng Yunpeng, the Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, who asked me to eat tonight, I really can't push it off!" Tomorrow night, I will definitely put everything off and invite you to eat at that Cantonese restaurant, how about it? ”

Tang Xinyue snorted: "Don't talk so much, today the Minister of Propaganda asked you to eat, you can't push it off, in case there is another organization minister or United Front Work Minister tomorrow who asks you to eat, can you push it off?" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that the official body is not free!" But I'll do my best to spare time tomorrow night, so can you go to dinner?" Otherwise, let's just buy vegetables tomorrow night and bring them back, have a candlelit dinner at home, and then have a good time......

"Play" is the secret word between Chen Mingyu and Tang Xinyue, which actually means going to bed, but Tang Xinyue is more traditional and shy in this regard, and he is embarrassed to express it directly, so he uses this secret language.

Tang Xinyue's face turned red and said, "Okay, you can go quickly." ”

When Chen Mingyu came to Taibai Building, Lu Dongsheng was already waiting at the door.

"Ju Chen, I've already booked the room." Lu Dongsheng greeted him and said.

"Hehe, Dongsheng, thank you for your hard work." Chen Mingyu smiled.

"It's not hard! It's not hard! Chen Ju, you are too polite! Lu Dongsheng said with a smile on his face.

Lu Dongsheng is a full ten years older than Chen Mingyu, but he doesn't know why, every time he stands in front of Chen Mingyu, he feels that Chen Mingyu seems to be his "elder", this feeling is not entirely because Chen Mingyu is the director, but also because of the special coercion that Chen Mingyu has!

In fact, Lu Dongsheng was very curious about this, because he felt that the coercion brought to him by Chen Mingyu was even greater than the coercion brought to him by some municipal leaders, which was really a strange thing!

"Minister Meng, they should be almost there, let's just wait at the door for a while." Chen Mingyu said.

"Okay." Lu Dongsheng took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Mingyu, and then took out a lighter to light the fire for him.

"Hey, by the way, Ju Chen, there's something I want to tell you about." Lu Dongsheng said.

"What's the matter?"

"When the last director of our bureau was here, he promised one thing to the staff of our bureau, saying that he would build a new family home and improve the accommodation conditions of our bureau employees. However, he withdrew before he could fulfill the matter, and the matter was over. However, since the news came out that our bureau was going to build a cultural theater, many employees were ready to move again, thinking that since we were going to spend tens of millions to build a cultural theater, would we consider building a family home? ”

In the process of saying this, Lu Dongsheng has been carefully observing Chen Mingyu's face, for fear that what he said would make Chen Mingyu unhappy.

In fact, Lu Dongsheng felt that Chen Mingyu should not support this matter, after all, this was what the previous Director Zhou promised, Director Zhou did not fulfill his promise, and Chen Mingyu had no responsibility to take over this matter.

But when Director Zhou promised this matter, he was also one of the active advocates, and now many old workers have found him, hoping that he can tell Chen Mingyu about this matter, and some of them persuaded him that the construction of family homes for employees is not only a political achievement, but also a good means to win people's hearts, anyway, this money is not for Chen Mingyu to come out, but from the public, maybe Chen Mingyu is willing to fall into this good?

Lu Dongsheng thought that there was some truth in what he said, so he saw that Chen Mingyu was in a good mood now, so he took the opportunity to bring up this matter.

Chen Mingyu smiled slightly and asked, "Dongsheng, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Lu Dongsheng couldn't see Chen Mingyu's attitude towards this matter, so he said ambiguously: "I think there are advantages and disadvantages to this matter, the current family home of our bureau was built in the sixties and seventies, and it is indeed a little old, and the new workers have not been allocated a room in recent years." Among them, you, Director Chen, were not assigned a room. Therefore, I think that if you build a new family home, you must first solve your housing problem, and you can also improve the housing for some qualified old workers, and assign a house to those who have not been allocated a house, which is also a happy thing. The disadvantage is that our bureau has no money, and is planning to build a cultural theater, which will cost a lot of money, if we ask the city for money to build a family home, I am afraid that it will be very difficult! ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Dongsheng, you are right, if the conditions are ripe, then I am definitely willing to build a new family home for the employees of our bureau, it doesn't matter if I can't get it myself, anyway, I have a house in the city, but who doesn't want to do it if I can benefit the employees?" However, as you said, we are planning to build a cultural theater, which will cost a lot of money, and the city can't get this money, isn't this being led by the National Development and Reform Bureau to fight for project funds from the province and the central government. If we ask the city for money to build a family home, it will be impossible. So, Dongsheng, if anyone mentions this matter to you, you tell him that the unit really wants to build a family home, but it really can't come up with the money. Let's talk about it after our Cultural Grand Theater is completed and has produced benefits. Your qualifications in our bureau are relatively old, and some words are more suitable for you, so this matter will be hard for you. ”

Lu Dongsheng seemed to be completely seen through by Chen Mingyu, he couldn't help but blush, and immediately said: "Okay, Chen Ju, I will definitely explain it to them, you can rest assured." ”

Meng Yunpeng was quite "sincere" this time, and he didn't let Chen Mingyu and them wait long, so they arrived.

Meng Yunpeng came over, in addition to his secretary He Shangzhi, there was also a middle-aged man with a big belly, a height of up to 1.7 meters, but a weight estimated to be more than 100 kilograms.

"Minister Meng." Chen Mingyu greeted him and shouted, and did not mention this afternoon's incident.

"Director Chen......" Meng Yunpeng didn't shake his beef face again this time, but greeted Chen Mingyu with a smile.

"Minister Meng, this is Deputy Director Lu Dongsheng of the unit, who has just been put on the executive list." Chen Mingyu said that because the previous executive deputy director* was relatively close to Meng Yunpeng, Chen Mingyu deliberately brought up this stubble.

"Minister Meng, hello!" Lu Dongsheng hurriedly said respectfully.

Meng Yunpeng looked like an ancient well, and he didn't think much about the meaning of Chen Mingyu's words, shook Lu Dongsheng's hand lightly, and then gestured to the fat man next to him and said: "Director Chen, let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Sihai, the boss of our Sihai Real Estate Company, come over for a meal." ”

As soon as Meng Yunpeng's words fell, Zhao Sihai stretched out his chubby right hand and said with a smile on his face: "Director Chen, hello!" Hello! Contemptible Zhao Sihai, others call me Zhao Laosi on weekdays, hehe......"

Chen Mingyu also smiled and shook hands with Zhao Sihai, and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am fortunate to meet you." Then he said to Meng Yunpeng: "Minister Meng, the room has been opened, let's go in?" ”

Meng Yunpeng said with a smile: "Okay, let's go in, so as to save the pestle and delay people doing business here." ”

Chen Mingyu stretched out his hand to Meng Yunpeng and made a "please" gesture, and at the same time looked at He Shangzhi and said, "Director He, please come in." ”

He Shangzhi smiled at Chen Mingyu with a little embarrassment and said, "Director Chen, please." ”

A few people entered the private room, and after the guests of honor sat down, Chen Mingyu put the menu in front of Meng Yunpeng and said, "Minister Meng, I heard that you are a gourmet, and we happened to enjoy the taste with you today." ”

Meng Yunpeng said with a smile: "I'm not a gourmet, today's dish, I think it's up to Mr. Zhao to order, if you want to say which dishes here are delicious, no one is familiar with him." ”

Chen Mingyu looked at Zhao Sihai with some surprise, Zhao Sihai smiled and said: "I can't hide it, I am one of the shareholders of this hotel, and today I take this opportunity to invite Minister Meng and Director Chen and other leaders to have a meal." In the afternoon, I have already arranged it, the ingredients have been prepared, today not to talk about whether the food is good or not, at least to eat distinctively! ”

The corners of Chen Mingyu's mouth floated with a playful smile, when Meng Yunpeng called today and said that he was going to come to Taibai Road for dinner, he was still a little puzzled, because he had long heard that Meng Yunpeng was very fond of pomp and circumstance, and he usually went to the famous restaurants in the city for dinner, but Taibai Lou was just a medium-sized restaurant, how did he get into Meng Yunpeng's eyes?

Now, he found out that he had a good relationship with the owner of this hotel!

If nothing else, Meng Yunpeng chose to eat here today, and also called Zhao Sihai over, it shouldn't be untargeted!

Chen Mingyu joked: "Mr. Zhao, you can't do this!" Today, our Cultural Affairs Bureau is going to invite Minister Meng to dinner, you can't rob it! ”

Zhao Sihai laughed and said: "Minister Meng is the leader of all of us, and whoever invites it is the same!" ”

Chen Mingyu said with a smile: "That's it, Mr. Zhao, since you are familiar with the dishes here, then you will order the dishes, but the account will be settled by us." It is not easy for us to meet Minister Meng once, please be considerate and give us this opportunity! ”
