Saying that, Peng Ziyu was actually moved, and big tears rolled down from his eyes.

For this kind of opportunistic behavior, Liu Yan originally hated it very much, when Peng Ziyu said that just now, Liu Yan couldn't wait to slap his two ear scrapers, but this guy's teardrops were first-class, and Liu Yan's heart was softened at once.

Liu Yan compromised: "In this way, you can make a note of the specific situation of the guests tonight, so as not to show your timidity in front of Secretary Zhou when you have time." ”

Peng Ziyu deserved to be a secretary, and immediately took out a pen and a notepad from his pocket.

"In addition to the six people from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, there are two from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, two from the Central Propaganda Department, two from the National Development and Reform Commission, and one each from the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Justice."

In order to facilitate the arrangement of the dinner seats, Liu Yan briefly introduced the positions of these guests to Peng Ziyu. Peng Ziyu looked at Liu Yan in surprise while recording, and his eyes were about to fall to the ground.

Closing the notepad, Peng Ziyu could no longer control his excitement, and said to Liu Yan again and again: "Chief, you are really amazing!" What a capability! These characters you invited, I am afraid that even Secretary Zhou did not expect it. You're really amazing! It's so capable! From now on, I will be a little brother by your side, leading the horse and falling for you, waving the flag and shouting, you point to the east, I will never go west. ”

After Peng Ziyu confessed, he immediately left Liu Yan's room, and Liu Yan understood in his heart that he was looking for Zhou Heping to express his merits.

During lunch, Zhou Heping took special care of Peng Ziyu, and pointed to a dish he liked to eat and asked Peng Ziyu one by one: "Old Peng, you eat more of this, this dish is very good." ”

may be afraid that Liu Yan will be too snubbed, Zhou Heping will occasionally ask Liu Yan to take a look: "Liu Yan, you also eat more." ”

During the meal, Zhou Heping also mentioned a new problem.

"Lao Peng, Liu Yan, you should think about it, do you want to give some gifts to the guests."

Liu Yan understood Zhou Heping's character, and when he asked this, he didn't ask anyone's opinion, but he didn't think about what kind of gift was appropriate.

Peng Ziyu said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'm embarrassed to let the leaders go back empty-handed!" ”

Zhou Heping then asked, "Then what kind of gift do you think is more appropriate?" ”

In this regard, Liu Yan really has little experience, and when he used to be a secretary with Zhou Heping, he would also receive some gifts from time to time, most of these gifts are shirts, ties, cigarettes, alcohol, shopping cards, etc., the price is high and low, and the face value is more or less. Liu Yan felt that this was the capital, and the etiquette might be different from the place, and if he gave such a gift, would it look a little cheesy.

Gift-giving seems quite simple, but in fact, there is a university question hidden in it. To give gifts to people, one is to send the right way, the second is to send the right mind, and the third is to be symmetrical with the identity of the recipient. Tonight, all of them are people with status, if the gift is light, it is not disgusting enough, and it is heavy, and I am afraid that the leaders will have an opinion, and I think that the people below are often so nonsense.

If it is a gift for a single person, you can study his preferences in advance, if you like elegance, you can send literati calligraphy and painting, if you like smoking and drinking, you will give famous cigarettes and wine, and at the same time give the same gift to more than a dozen people, it is a bit difficult to reconcile.

Judging from Peng Ziyu's expression, he doesn't seem to have any good solutions.

Zhou Heping said: "That's it, after eating, the two of you think about it carefully, try to choose some gifts that suit the leader's heart, there is nothing else to do this afternoon, you can implement this matter." ”

After lunch, Peng Ziyu came to Liu Yan's room.

"Leader, what kind of gift do you think is appropriate?"

Liu Yan said: "I really can't say this well. What do you think? ”

Peng Ziyu said a few things, Liu Yan felt that it was not suitable, one is that the gift is too big and inconvenient to carry, and the other is that the value of the gift is a little too high, in terms of gift giving, although there is no clear provision above, it is a violation of the law to say how much it is, but there is a bottom line for economic crimes, once the value of the gift exceeds 5,000 yuan, it is considered a bribe.

Later, Peng Ziyu came up with another idea.

"Chief, you call and ask your best friend, and see what he has to say, people often accept gifts from others, and they should be familiar with this aspect."

Liu Yan felt that Peng Ziyu's idea was reliable, so he made a call to Lan Zhixi.

"Zhixi, Secretary Zhou asked me to ask you if I need to give some gifts to the leaders attending the dinner or something."

Lan Zhixi did not refuse: "It's okay." So what kind of gifts are you going to give? ”

Liu Yan said: "Isn't this just about to ask you?" A turtle like me really doesn't know what kind of gift to give. ”

Lan Zhixi smiled: "Your positioning is still very accurate, you are a turtle, an out-and-out turtle." Turtle, you're so good, isn't it almost New Year's Day? It just so happens that the post office has issued a set of gold commemorative stamps, and sending this thing not only does not show that you are very earthy, but also very commemorative. ”

Yes! This stuff is really good!

Liu Yan feels that this set of gold commemorative stamps, in addition to the two characteristics mentioned by Lan Zhixi, also has a very practical feature, that is, it has the function of value-added and value preservation.

Things are good, but where do you get so many sets? Although this thing is on sale publicly, it is a limited sale, and there is no certain way, let alone getting more than a dozen sets at once, I'm afraid I can't even get one set.

Liu Yan told Lan Zhixi about the difficulties he faced.

Lan Zhixi let out a long sigh and said, "Alas! It's really a mistake to make friends! Why did you say I got to know you, a turtle? It's really a heart. In this way, I'll help you get in touch right away, and when the contact is done, I'll send you the contact number, and you can just go and get something. Oh, and don't forget to pay! ”

Liu Yan said: "This time, the turtle didn't pay, and I also came to a tall one today, swiping the card." ”

Lan Zhixi said: "Do you think you won't be a turtle by swiping your card?" The most popular thing now is to brush your face, you turtle. ”

With Peng Ziyu by his side, Liu Yan didn't want to quarrel with Lan Zhixi anymore, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words.

When Liu Yan was on the phone with Lan Zhixi, Peng Ziyu had been lying next to him and listening with great interest, and as soon as Liu Yan hung up the phone, Peng Ziyu asked with evil spirits: "It's a woman talking to you, right?" Listening to the voice, it's quite young, and the relationship with you shouldn't be ordinary, right? ”

Liu Yan simply coped: "It's nothing special, it's just an ordinary friend." ”

Peng Ziyu inhaled into his mouth and asked with an indecent face: "Isn't it!" I listen to the tone of your voice, it should be an old lover, right? ”

Liu Yan glared at Peng Ziyu: "Don't talk nonsense, people are people with status." ”

Peng Ziyu asked again: "What identity?" ”

Liu Yan was really impatient and said, "Saying it can scare you to death." ”

It was originally a joke, but unexpectedly, it led to many emotions from Peng Ziyu: "Chief, you are so amazing, even the women you know are so powerful, and you are so willing to help you, you are so amazing!" ”

Depend on!

Liu Yan was speechless.

Lan Zhixi is really Lu Ziye, and after a while, he sent the contact number.

Liu Yan, Peng Ziyu and Li Lihong went to the post office to handle this matter together, and the price was really right, 4,908 per set.

When paying the bill, Liu Yan suddenly felt that this set of gold commemorative stamps seemed to be specially prepared for the giver.

At night.

Liu Yan and Zhou Heping waited for the arrival of guests in a luxurious hotel.

The first to arrive was Lan Zhixi, who came with her boyfriend.

Lan Zhixi's boyfriend is called Gao David, and he looks average, saying that he is only six years older than Lan Zhixi, because Xie Ding is more powerful, and he looks more than ten years older than Lan Zhixi. In addition, there are a little swollen eye bubbles, just these two things, which ruins the entire image of the person. Coupled with the fact that it is not very tall, this is another minus. Liu Yan visually measured it, Gao David's height should be a little more than one meter seven, Lan Zhixi was wearing high heels, and he was taller than Gao David.

However, David Gao doesn't look annoying at all, his biggest characteristic is that he smiles very kindly, whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, in front of him, there will be a very peaceful feeling.

Liu Yan's first impression of David Gao was not bad.

David Gao works in a very important department, and the job position is also very special.

At tonight's banquet, David Gao plays a very key role, he is the medium for Zhou Heping to contact the guests, and the next guests will be introduced to Zhou Heping by David Gao.

Later, Liu Yan learned that in fact, David Gao is not just the role of a middleman, in fact, he is the center of today's dinner.

The second wave came to those people from the Central Organization Department, this time point was specially arranged by David Gao, before all the VIPs arrived, David Gao wanted to leave a gap of about half an hour for Zhou Heping, so that he had a chance to communicate with Xiang Huaqiang alone.

Seeing Xiang Huaqiang walking out of the hotel lobby, David Gao hurriedly greeted him, and after shaking hands and greeting him, he pointed to Zhou Heping who was standing next to him and said, "Uncle Xiang, let me introduce you to you, this is Zhou Heping, Secretary of the Zhongzhou Municipal Party Committee of Pingyuan Province." ”

Then he pointed to Xiang Huaqiang and introduced to Zhou Heping: "Uncle Zhou, this is Minister Xiang Huaqiang of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. ”

There seems to be no trace of deliberateness, but from the fact that David Gao called the two people the same, the relationship between Zhou Heping and Xiang Huaqiang and David Gao was pulled to the same height at once.

With David Gao's very special introduction, the relationship between Zhou Heping and Xiang Huaqiang suddenly became much closer, the two shook hands, greeted each other, and then like old people, they entered a specially arranged room in the hotel hand in hand.
