Chapter 39: The Envelope

The waiter put the dishes on the table, and the electric turntable in the middle of the table rotated. Xiao Jian noticed that there was a glass wine dispenser with a capacity of about two halves and a small wine glass of about two cents in front of everyone.

At this time, Mr. Song spoke: "Everyone, now Chairman He wants to say a few words, please be quiet." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and the restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Chairman He raised his glass: "Today, we are very fortunate to invite Director Zhang of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau and his party to come to our Yongsheng Company for inspection and guidance, which is a rare opportunity." Come on, come on, old rules, let's all raise our glasses and express our gratitude to Director Zhang and his party! ”

Director Zhang hurriedly clinked glasses with Chairman He and said, "Chairman He, you are polite!" ”

The crowd had a drink.

Mr. Song immediately poured wine into Chairman He's empty wine glass. Chairman He picked up Zhang Ju's wine dispenser and helped him pour wine, and Director Zhang hurriedly held the wine glass.

Chairman He said again: "I heard Mr. Song say just now that several problems in our company were found during the inspection. Although Zhang Ju has repeatedly said that the problem is not big, I want to say that no matter how big or small the problem is, it is a problem, and the goal of our Yongsheng Group is to be a Fortune 500 company. ”

The crowd drank again.

Chairman Zhang poured wine and said, "After listening to Chairman He's words, I was very emotional. I believe that under the leadership of Chairman He and Mr. Song, Yongsheng Group will get better and bigger! ”

Chairman He smiled and said, "Zhang Ju, accept your auspicious words!" With your words, everyone will toast you again! ”

After drinking three cups, Chairman He looked at Xiao Jian and the others before they moved their chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, you are all your own brothers, just order it." I have known Director Zhang for many years. Isn't it, Xiaojun? ”

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, Director Qin should be clearer", he looked at Qin Jie, and Qin Jie nodded lightly beside him.

Zhang Ju then recalled: "Section Chief Tian, Xiao Xiao, you probably don't know. More than 10 years ago, when I was the section chief, Chairman He was the vice president. At that time, Chairman He personally contacted our unit to work. ”

"Now you have been a leader for many years, Zhang Ju, I toast you", Chairman He said with a smile.

"Where, where, compared to you, I'm still a little brother." Cheers to two.

Xiao Jian didn't expect that Director Zhang and Chairman He had known each other for a long time, and they seemed to have a good relationship. The evaluation of service users is also crucial to the growth of a civil servant, and how to grasp the relationship with the company is a difficult issue.

Driven by He Ju and Zhang Ju, the atmosphere became warm, and everyone began to toast each other.

The Yongsheng Company had a large number of people drinking tonight, and Xiao Jian had already drunk more than 20 glasses of wine before he had time to take the initiative to toast.

Xiao Jian hurriedly ate some food, asked Director Zhao for his mobile phone number, added contact information, and the two of them became active. Xiao Jian asked Director Zhao for the names of the company leaders and department managers present, starting with Chairman He, and saluted one by one.

After saluting for a while, Xiao Jian felt a little uncomfortable in his abdomen, and hurriedly asked Director Zhao where the bathroom was, and Director Zhao said that there was one in the room.

Xiao Jian hurriedly walked into the bathroom, and at this time, Director Zhao also pushed open the door and followed. After Director Zhao came in, he quickly turned around and locked the door.

Xiao Jian was standing in front of the urinal and was about to make it convenient, when he saw Director Zhao's move, he asked suspiciously, "Director Zhao, who are you?" ”

Director Zhao hurriedly walked over and quickly stuffed something into Xiao Jian's trouser pocket: "Brother has worked hard, this is a little hard work, please accept it!" ”

Xiao Jian hurriedly took it out and saw that it was a brown paper envelope, bulging, and it felt that it should be no less than a thousand yuan. In his previous life, Xiao Jian heard that the personnel of some units and enterprise-related departments had gray income, but now that he looks at it, it is really not a lie. No wonder Tian Zhiqian never took himself to the company before, it turned out to be this reason.

Xiao Jian looked at the red envelope in his hand, and for a moment, he had mixed feelings.

This is the first time Xiao Jian has received a red envelope, what should I do? A voice in Xiao Jian's head said: "Xiao Jian, this is the unspoken rule of officialdom, you accept this kind of red envelope, I accept it, everyone is receiving, everyone is happy." God knows, you know, I know, if everyone attacks and defends the alliance, this little money is nothing at all. Conversely, if you don't accept it, you will be considered deliberately pretending to be honest and falsely high. And next time, you will be ostracized by others and will not be able to integrate into the circle, so you don't want to continue to mix in officialdom. ”

Xiao Jian's hand holding the money involuntarily wanted to send it into his trouser pocket.

Suddenly, another voice in my heart shouted, "I can't ask for it!" ”

"Xiao Jian, have you forgotten your original intention! Didn't you swear to make a career? This is just the beginning, are you going to fall for yourself? So what's the difference between you and the previous you! ”

Taught by this righteous voice, Xiao Jian's mind instantly cleared up.

After being reborn, Xiao Jian vowed to start over and make a career. As a civil servant, he knows that the power in his hands is given by the people, and now if he uses this power to accept bribes, this kind of money, he Xiao Jian can't ask for it! Although the amount of this red envelope is not large, and it is given in the name of "hard work", the essence is rent-seeking for power.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Although Xiao Jian also needs money, the premise is that the money is earned by himself through labor, and he wants to come cleanly, he doesn't want to make a fortune in this way, and he resolutely doesn't want this kind of bad money!

Xiao Jian felt more and more that this red envelope was hot, and he felt as disgusting as eating a fly, and he hurriedly said: "Director Zhao, I can't ask for this."

Director Zhao saw Xiao Jian's actions, he knew that Xiao Jian was a civil servant who had just gone to work, and it was estimated that it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, so he generally had to pretend to shirk it. Director Zhao hurriedly blocked Xiao Jian's hand with both hands, and persuaded him earnestly: "Young man, it's okay, keep it away."

"I really can't ask for this", Xiao Jian still pushed the red envelope to Director Zhao's hand.

Director Zhao saw that Xiao Jian was still pushing, and thought that he really didn't dare to accept it, so he dispelled his concerns and said, "Brother, don't worry, Section Chief Tian has accepted them." I'm going to be angry if you don't accept me anymore."

The two were pushing each other, and suddenly there was the sound of the bathroom door lock turning, and Director Zhao hurriedly stuffed the envelope back into Xiao Jian's trouser pocket: "It's not good if someone comes to see it in a while." Put away the things, I'll go out first, give my brother a face! After speaking, Director Zhao hurriedly opened the door and went out.

At this time, a department manager staggered in, and Xiao Jian hurriedly smoothed out his trouser pockets bulging due to the red envelope, sorted out his clothes, and tried to make himself look less flustered.
