Chapter 208: Secretary to the Mayor
"Mr. Ren, this warbler Yanyan is really lively!" When he arrived in the city, Zhou Tong, who came to pick up people, saw a group of girls and couldn't help laughing.
Ren Bufan rolled his eyes and automatically filtered: "There is one more table over there in the hotel." ”
"No problem!"
Send someone to the sports center to bring Luo Jing over, and everyone finished lunch together.
When he was about to rush over to prepare, Su Tian came over and said softly: "Bufan, it's still very early, a few of us want to go shopping in the commercial street." ”
"I'll let the driver drop you off. ”
"No," Su Tian hurriedly said, "The bus here is very convenient, and Luo Jing has a transportation card." ”
With so many people, there is no need to worry about safety. I just felt that the girls were shopping together, and I didn't expect to see Su Tian before the party started, so I was quite depressed.
Of course, just thinking about himself is too selfish, he can't let Su Tian wait for a long time in the venue.
"I have some change, why don't you take it first?" Ren Bufan fumbled in his pocket and took out dozens of yuan.
"No need," Su Tian hurriedly refused, "We just go shopping casually and don't buy anything." ”
"Or do you want to bring it? Maybe you can use it? Do you want to bring more?"
"You really don't need to, you can put the money away!" Su Tian said softly.
"So? ...... Then you bring my mobile phone!" Ren Bufan thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Su Tian, "In case something happens, you can call Zhou Tong at any time and find me through her." Or it's easier for me to look for you!"
Su Tian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! I'll take the phone, and I don't want the money." We're just strolling around the mall, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Hmm!"
The commercial street is not far from the sports center, they don't even have to take a car, nine girls waved goodbye to Ren Bufan, talked and laughed and walked along the street.
Seeing them leave, Ren Bufan followed Zhou Tong into the venue, which was in full swing and quite busy.
Everything is going in order, and the performers are in place.
The program list has already been arranged, starting with the Wuzhou Choir, followed by the student cosplay game characters of the Dance Department of the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, dancing the choreographed dance in advance, followed by the solo, duet and choral performances also from the vocal music department of the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, and then the sketches and cross talk of the students of the Conservatory of Music.
In fact, most of today's program is performed by students of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music. First, the cost is relatively low, and secondly, it is mainly a little famous. Wuzhou Conservatory of Music is a well-known university in China, and it is also full of talents. They need a stage to show themselves, and the company needs performers, and they hit it off.
Of course, in addition to the students of the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, the company is also trying to invite some well-known local performing artists.
The Wuzhou Choir is well-known and the easiest to invite.
In addition, there is also a well-known local magician Yang Jie who accepts the invitation.
Yang Jie is an old artist, in his 60s this year, and his work is still first-class.
Everyone called him a magician, but he himself preferred to be called a "trickster".
When the stage was still set, the students of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music had already come to rehearse, and they took the performance very seriously.
The Wuzhou Choir arrived around 2 p.m. and joined the rehearsal procession.
At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tong came over and whispered to Ren Bufan: "Mr. Ren, someone from the city government is here!"
"Where?"
"You come with me!" Zhou Tong led him to the vicinity of the stage where he was rehearsing.
On the side of the stage, there was a young man in casual clothes, talking and laughing.
Ren Bufan turned around and asked Zhou Tong with his eyes, are you sure it's someone from the city government?
Zhou Tong nodded affirmatively, and then took the initiative to step forward and greet with a smile: "Hello, I am Zhou Tong, general manager of Ren Network Technology Co., Ltd."
"Hello, hello, Manager Zhou, this is Secretary Ding of the mayor's office. Someone on the other side pointed to the young man with the face of the Chinese character next to him and said.
"Hello!" Zhou Tong hurriedly shook hands with him, and then pointed to Ren Bufan, "Secretary Ding, fortunately! ”
"I know, Mr. Ren!" Secretary Ding laughed, "It's quite famous." ”
"Hello!" Ren Bufan went over to shake hands with him.
"It's always good to be a little ren!"
The two sides introduced themselves, and Ren Bufan and several other city government staff who followed Secretary Ding also shook hands one by one.
"Secretary Ding, I heard that the leaders of the city government came to watch the party today, but I didn't expect it to be you!" Ren Bufan said.
"No, no!" Secretary Ding hurriedly waved his hand, "I just came over to find out in advance, and the mayor will bring his wife to the party in the evening." ”
"The mayor came here in person?" Ren Bufan was startled, "Really?"
"Aren't I fighting a sentinel battle for the mayor?haha~" Secretary Ding said with a smile, "But the mayor said that this time he just came with his wife, and he didn't want to be disturbed, so let me communicate with you to see if I can arrange a quieter location." ”
"No problem!" Zhou Tong replied immediately, "We have already arranged it." Secretary Ding, I wonder if the mayor has time to have a light meal with our President Ren before the party?"
"I'm sorry for this!" Secretary Ding said, "The mayor refused any additional trips today, including meeting with Mr. Ren, and just wanted to accompany his wife quietly." I'll make an appointment next time I'm free!"
"Is that so?" Looking back and seeing Ren Bufan's expression with some regret, Zhou Tong continued to ask, "Does Secretary Ding or everyone present have time to appreciate his face?"
After all, Mr. Ren is quite famous on the Internet now. Secretary Ding smiled, "It's also an honor to be able to eat with Mr. Xiao Ren! It's just that it's really inconvenient today, next time, next time!"
"Okay, then we'll make an appointment next time. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Secretary Ding can't break his word!"
Secretary Ding was slightly stunned, he was actually polite, he didn't expect Zhou Tong to say this. At this point, he couldn't change his words, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, then next time I will make an appointment with the world! Today, you don't care about anything else, just do a good job of the party, and don't go any wrong! The evening is the mayor's private trip, and it has nothing to do with official business, and I don't want to have anything to do with it! So it's best not to disturb him and his wife. ”
"Is it convenient to ask?" Ren Bufan looked at Secretary Ding, "Why did the mayor suddenly decide to bring his wife here to watch the performance?"
"This is the mayor's private itinerary, and I am not convenient to disclose. Secretary Ding shook his head.
"Yes, private trips really shouldn't be asked. Zhou Tong smiled, "By the way, Secretary Ding, I heard that the mayor has implemented a lot of policies to benefit the people in the past few years in office, which is very admirable! Personally, I admire the mayor very much, he is an excellent officer who dares to think and do, and only does practical things and does not talk nonsense. The huge city of Wuzhou is thriving under his rule, and it is truly amazing! It seems that nothing can be difficult for the mayor!"
Listening to her heartfelt praise, Secretary Ding felt honored, and a smile appeared on his face: "The mayor is indeed concentrating on municipal administration, so there are very few private trips like today. Otherwise, why should I order anyone to disturb me? However, municipal work is really tiring, and it is hard for you to imagine that the mayor was full of vigor when he first took office, and that he had half a hundred years of hard work! Sometimes I feel sorry for the mayor, and I have to worry about this and that every day, and I have no time to take care of my own body. ”
Ren Bufan wanted to speak, but saw Zhou Tong waving his hand slightly, as if he wanted to stop talking first, she continued: "I didn't expect that such a capable person as the mayor would also worry about the municipal government?"
"Isn't it?" Speaking of this, Secretary Ding sighed, "In recent years, the mayor has increased the intensity of urban development and construction, launched a road leveling plan, and various new policies to benefit the people, and the city government's money has flowed out. Now that the tax revenue has not returned, the allocation from above has not arrived, and several major roads have been forced to temporarily stagnation, which has a great impact on the citizens, can you not worry?"
"I see!" Zhou Tong thought for a moment, "Since it is a policy to benefit the people, why don't you consider private donations?"
"This is municipal work, and the city government asks for donations from the people, and the society has a bad perception!" said Secretary Ding, "The mayor does not want to increase the burden on the citizens. ”
"Oh~ If the businessmen in the urban area can take the initiative to raise donations, it should be much better, right?" Zhou Tong said.
"How can it be so easy? Even if it is called in the name of the city government, the response is not necessarily enough. Secretary Ding replied, "What's more, the mayor doesn't want to do this, and it is difficult for businessmen to take the initiative to jump out and launch fundraising!"
"That's not necessarily!" Zhou Tong smiled when he heard this, "Secretary Ding, do you know the leader effect?"
"Of course!"
"As long as there is a leader, the sheep will take the initiative to follow. Zhou Tong said, "In fact, there are many rich businessmen in Wuzhou City, but there is no leader." Whenever a leader appears and wants everyone to donate money to build a road for the city government, it's actually very simple! We, Mr. Ren, have always supported the municipal government, and we don't mind being a leader!"
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Ren is now the focus of multimedia, and the popularity is extraordinary. Zhou Tong said, "There are also countless media present at today's party, and we have decided to take the initiative to donate 10 million yuan to pave the city's roads at the end of the party! With Mr. Ren's current popularity, once it spreads, it will definitely cause the society to follow suit." At that time, it will be able to alleviate the problem of municipal funds and make the road level policy successfully completed!"
Secretary Ding showed a surprised expression: "With the current fame of Mr. Ren, he can indeed successfully make a leading effect, if it can really trigger business people to raise funds to contribute to the municipal government, it is a great achievement! It's just that 10 million is not a small amount, and some people can't earn it in a few lifetimes, so Mr. Ren is willing to take it out?"
"Our Mr. Ren is a good hand at making money," Zhou Tong replied with a smile, "The problem of money is not a problem for him!"
"If this thing can really be done, it will undoubtedly be the biggest birthday gift for the mayor's wife!" Secretary Ding sighed.
