Chapter 52 Official Expenses
On Friday morning, Xiao Jian got up late, and when he went to the guest house for breakfast, he ran into Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan had finished eating, and he seemed to be in a good mood, he saw Xiao Jian coming, and said, "I came back a little late last night, went to the enterprise?" β
Xiao Jian smiled bitterly.
Zheng Xuan asked: "Then do you know about the training of the Ministry of Economic and Trade Department?" β
Xiao Jian let out an "um", indicating that he already knew.
"Hey, brother, we're in luck! I heard that the economic and trade system has never been trained in a centralized manner before, and the Ministry of Economic and Trade is really blue-eyed for our new recruits! I've never been to Yanjing, and I've heard that the training base of the Ministry of Economic and Trade is a bit good......" Zheng Xuan said as he gestured with his fingers, spitting excitedly.
Xiao Jian was not surprised, and silently lowered his head to eat.
After Zheng Xuan said to himself, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Xiao Jian, let's go together when the time comes." β
Xiao Jian said: "Okay, how are you going to go?" β
Zheng Xuan smiled and continued: "Because of the training in Yanjing, if you take the train, there is no direct train from Jiangzhou to Yanjing, and you have to transfer trains in the middle, which is too long, and people will be very tired." There is an airport in Jiangzhou City, I asked a friend, and there is a direct flight from Jiangzhou City to Yanjing. β
Xiao Jian understood Zheng Xuan's intentions and asked, "Then are you going to take a plane?" β
Zheng Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother is smart! It's fast and convenient to fly, so that we don't have to rush to Jinshan City to take a plane."
Xiao Jian asked, "Can we fly?" Don't you have to be a leader to fly? β
Zheng Xuan said: "This is a special situation for us, the training requires reporting before August 31, and we will go over on the evening of August 30 at the latest." You can't catch the time when you take the train."
When Xiao Jian heard this, he said, "Okay, then we are going to take the plane that day?" β
"Originally, I was going to buy a ticket, but, alas, ......," Zheng Xuan said as he suddenly sighed.
Seeing that Zheng Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Jian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" β
Zheng Xuan frowned, and then said, "Something is wrong with my family, I have to rush back in the afternoon." β
Judging from Zheng Xuan's consistent personality and performance, Xiao Jian estimated that Zheng Xuan was making up an excuse to go home, and he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he followed his words and said, "Then you go back." β
Zheng Xuan laughed twice: "The main reason is that there is no airport in Nanping City, and there is no ticket sales point around my house, so I can't buy tickets." You should be in Jiangzhou on the weekend, can you trouble your brother to take the time to buy a ticket on the weekend. β
After a big circle, it turned out to be this thing. Although Xiao Jian was a little resistant in his heart, he thought that he was going too, so he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, do you want to buy a ticket for August 30?" β
"Yes, thank you, brother," Zheng Xuan thanked him verbally, but he was secretly proud in his heart, and after saying a few good words, he threw the job of buying a ticket to Xiao Jian.
After eating, Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan rushed to the unit together. After Xiao Jian arrived at the office, he couldn't wait to turn on the office automation system. "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing", he wanted to confirm the notice in person.
Sure enough, Xiao Jian saw a document marked as an emergency, which was a notice forwarded by the provincial department to the initial training of civil servants of the Ministry of Economic and Trade of the People's Republic of China.
The training notice clearly reads: "...... In order to improve the ability and quality of civil servants in the economic and trade system,......, the Ministry of Economic and Trade has decided to conduct unified training and ,...... for newly recruited civil servants this year.
The training notice says that the training location is at the Guomao Hotel, Changping District, Yanjing City. The training will be held from September 1 to September 30. The training includes outward bound training, military training, political theory learning, professional knowledge learning, and visits to revolutionary education bases.
Xiao Jian was looking at the training notice, and suddenly the office phone rang, Xiao Jian picked up the phone, it was Tang Wei calling, Tang Wei told him to go to Director Cao's office on the 9th floor immediately.
Xiao Jian thought to himself, what is the matter with Director Cao looking for himself? I guess it's related to this training.
Xiao Jian hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and hurriedly walked to the 9th floor.
When he arrived at the door of Director Cao's office, Xiao Jian knocked on the door, and after hearing Director Cao say the word "please come in", Xiao Jian walked in.
When I walked in, there were other people in the office, Deputy Director Zhang Xiaojun was sitting on a sofa, smoking a cigarette with Erlang's legs crossed, and Zheng Xuan was sitting upright on a chair.
Cao Wenli saw Xiao Jian coming in, so he said, "Xiao Xiao, sit down."
Xiao Jian looked at the position, consciously pulled a chair over, and sat aside.
Director Cao said, "I called you over in the morning to say something," he took a document in his hand and shook it at a few people: "You have all seen the notice document for the initial training of new civil servants, right?" β
Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan nodded.
Director Cao continued: "The Ministry of Economic and Trade has arranged the training of new civil servants in Yanjing, and you have not been here for a long time, but the training time is as long as a month. It is estimated that Section Chief Tian and Section Chief Liu are busy. β
Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan glanced at each other and laughed twice.
At this time, Director Zhang put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray and asked, "How are you going to go to Yanjing this time?" β
Xiao Jian saw that Zheng Xuan didn't squeak, so he replied honestly: "We are going to take a plane from Jiangzhou." β
After hearing this, Director Cao immediately said loudly: "Plane? The air ticket from Jiangzhou to Yanjing is too expensive, what about taking the train? β
Xiao Jian didn't expect Director Cao to react so strongly, it seemed that he was very sensitive to expenses, and he remembered that in his previous life, Director Cao was a calculating "iron rooster".
Xiao Jian quickly thought for a moment and said cautiously: "The train time is too long, if we take the train, we will not be able to catch up with the reporting time, which will affect the training." β
Director Cao thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't you take a plane from Jinshan City?" β
Xiao Jian didn't think about this problem, and was speechless for a while.
Zheng Xuan answered: "The air ticket from Jinshan to Yanjing is not cheap, and if we count our bus ticket from Jiangzhou to Jinshan, we will also incur the cost of accommodation in Jinshan." β
Director Zhang added next to him: "Director Cao, I have learned about this price, if all the costs are added up, the price of taking a plane from Jinshan should be about the same as that from Jiangzhou." β
Xiao Jian glanced at Zheng Xuan, this kid was very cunning, he didn't say anything at first, he let himself offend the leader, and he came out at the last moment, but he still had to thank Director Zhang for helping to solve the siege.
Cao Wenli's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he said again: "Zhang Ju, I'm not worried about money. I just think, is it appropriate for them to fly? Like our county-level units, only section chiefs and above can take planes. β
Zhang Xiaojun smiled: "Director Cao, you are the number one, you should be cautious, and you should reasonably control the expenses of official business." However, I think that since it is a training organized by the Ministry of Economy and Trade, there should be no problem, and the red-headed document does not write the pick-up time of the capital airport? Since he wrote that, he tacitly agreed to take the airplane. If Cao Ju is not at ease, you can ask about finance again. β
Director Cao listened to Director Zhang's words, and then his attitude eased, and then looked at Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan, and said with a smile: "You two go this time, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money, and the provincial department will not allocate this fee to us, I called the finance department of the provincial department yesterday and asked them to help solve this cost, they don't do it, let us figure out our own way." I calculated that a round-trip ticket for one person would cost more than 2,000, and the accommodation was estimated to be several thousand, at least 10,000. β
Xiao Jian felt that Director Cao's tone was still a little unhappy, so he had to laugh twice to cover up the past.
Director Zhang said: "Cao Bureau, it is also a rare opportunity for them to go this time. I have the impression that the Ministry of Economic and Trade has not organized such a nationwide training for many years. β
Director Zhang looked at Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan again and said, "Director Cao has already agreed." You two young people should seriously cherish this opportunity and study hard in Yanjing, so as to live up to Director Cao's good intentions. Otherwise, Director Cao's money would have been spent in vain. β
After Director Zhang mentioned it, Xiao Jian suddenly came to his senses, although Director Cao was displeased, but at least agreed to let the two go, but he didn't even say a word of thanks, which was really naΓ―ve. So Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "Thank you Director Cao for your love, thank you Director Zhang for your support, we must cherish the opportunity, study hard, and actively repay the trust of the leaders." β
When Director Cao heard this, he was in a much happier mood, and Xiao Jian still understood the sophistication of human feelings. Director Zhang also nodded, he has always been more optimistic about Xiao Jian, he can understand a little, and he can be taught.
"This training is a bit long, do you have enough money?" Director Zhang asked with concern.
Xiao Jian rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't have any money now, I didn't have much money with me when I came to Jiangzhou, and I haven't received a salary yet." β
Director Cao interjected: "I received a notice from the provincial department that the wages of your new recruits will not be paid until next month. Well, wait a minute, I'll make a call. β
After Director Cao finished speaking, he made a phone call.
Hanging up the phone, Director Cao said: "I called Section Chief Fan just now, and you will go to the Finance Department to borrow some money later." β
Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan hurriedly thanked Director Cao.
