On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yi Zhongnan took the high-speed rail to visit Tongji, Zheng Wentong greeted Yi Zhongnan and his party at Tongji North Station, and Yi Zhongnan's daughter Yi Xin also accompanied her father to Tongji for inspection.

Zheng Wentong shook hands with Yi Zhongnan first, "Uncle Yi, this long journey, you have worked hard. ”

Yi Zhongnan looked at the wide square outside Tongji North Station, "Your high-speed rail station is built in a good place, if you build a high-speed railway along the river in the future, there is no need to repeat the construction." ”

Yi Xin noticed that the barrier-free passage of the station square is spread throughout the square, connecting the bus and taxi pits and the commercial street.

She took a closer look, "Zheng Dong, I didn't expect that your ramp plan has been implemented very thoroughly, and wheelchairs can be passed without barriers from leaving the station to leaving the station." ”

Zheng Wentong briefly introduced the situation, "This square is the first batch of pilot projects of the slope plan, and my brother is responsible for the specific construction. ”

Yi Zhongnan nodded, didn't make an evaluation, and got in the car first. In order to entertain Yi Zhongnan and his entourage, Zheng Wentong borrowed two Toyota Alpha from Tian Mingjun of Wanxin Real Estate. Zheng Wentong and Yi Zhongnan, Yi Xin sat in the first car.

Zheng Wentong said to Yi Zhongnan: "Uncle Yi, we have prepared a reception banquet at Yutan Hotel, we will go to have a meal at noon, and I will take you around in the afternoon." ”

Yi Zhongnan looked at the time, "It's still early before the meal, we can visit the Fat Donglai Life Square first, I heard that many residents from surrounding counties and cities have specially driven over to shop, is there such a thing?" ”

Zheng Wentong, of course, was the main guest and instructed the driver to drive to Fat Donglai Life Square. The driver was a little embarrassed, "Zheng Dong, at this point, Fat Donglai Life Plaza may not be easy to park, unless it is parked on the side of the road, but the traffic police may post a ticket on the side of the road." ”

Zheng Wentong is more clear about Fat Donglai's situation, "It's okay, during the Spring Festival, Fat Donglai has a temporary parking space on the side of the road, and the traffic police will not post a ticket." ”

After a while, Zheng Wentong came to the Fat Donglai Life Square, the huge square is bustling with people, and there is an electronic screen at the entrance of the square, which displays the number of today's passengers in real time.

Yi Zhongnan made a rough estimate, "The flow of people you have on this day is estimated to be seventy or eighty thousand, and it is indeed very popular." ”

Zheng Wentong also felt that it was a good idea to introduce Fat Donglai, which revitalized the economy of Yushan Town. "On the first and second days of the new year, the passenger flow exceeded 100,000 people, and the turnover of the square exceeded 100 million yuan in two days.

Yi Xin saw that there were a lot of young people in Fat Donglai Square, "These young people, shouldn't they come to Fat Donglai to come to the date place?" ”

Zheng Wentong observed, "Most of them should come to the cinema to watch movies, this year's Spring Festival stalls are quite lively, "The Wandering Earth", "Red Sea Operation", "Monster Hunt 2", and the annual "Bear Infested". ”

The total box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 500 million, and the film scheduling ratio is 24.2%, also ranking first. The box office of "Operation Red Sea" has also exceeded 300 million, and it is difficult to surpass "Monster Hunt 2" by starting high and going low, and the single-day box office of the fourth day of the new year has fallen by about 50 million, and Maoyan and Taopiao Ticket predict that the total box office of "Monster Hunt 2" will be about 1.5 billion, which is difficult to exceed "Monster Hunt 1".

Under the protection of the security assistant, Zheng Wentong and Yi Zhongnan entered the Fat Donglai Life Plaza, and there were many people in each store in the square.

Yi Zhongnan focused on visiting Fat Donglai Supermarket, where 18 manual checkout counters and 6 self-service checkout counters were all full.

Yi Zhongnan sighed, "I have always heard of the reputation of Fat Donglai, and the things in the supermarket are not cheap, but they do serve customers to the extreme, and they should be regarded as Haidilao in the supermarket." ”

Zheng Wentong said: "Fat Donglai is more difficult to copy, Haidilao now has more than 400 stores across the country. Tongji Fat Donglai is the only store outside the province of Fat Donglai, and we have communicated with them for a long time in order to do the work of Tongdong Lai. ”

Yi Xin was quite interested in Fat Donglai, and asked Zheng Wentong curiously, "Zheng Dong, have you ever considered introducing Fat Donglai to Jiangchu City?" Tongji City has a total population of 800,000, Fat Donglai has a turnover of more than 1 billion a year, and Jiangchu City has a population of tens of millions, and there is a turnover of at least 5 billion a year, right? ”

Yi Zhongnan was amused by his daughter, "That's not how the account is calculated, orange is born Huainan is orange, the competition between large supermarkets is very fierce, and Fat Dong may not adapt to the water and soil when he comes to the provincial capital." ”

Jiangchu City has Huabai Supermarket under Huabai Group, as well as Chushang Supermarket under Chushang Group, these two large supermarket chains have spread throughout Jiangchu City. If Fat Donglai wants to enter Jiangchu City, only the developing Xingu East or the far suburb Chunjiang District has a suitable location.

However, the vegetable fresh supply base around Jiangchu City has been monopolized by these large supermarkets in Jiangchu City, if the fat east of Jiangchu from the Central Plains Province is supplied, the freshness of the ingredients cannot be guaranteed, and the second is no cost advantage.

The slope system has many large-scale investment projects in Jiangchu City, and Yi Zhongnan's enthusiasm for Jiangchu City to introduce Fat Donglai is not so high. This kind of large-scale supermarket is very replaceable, if in order to introduce Fat Donglai, and Jiang Chu's local faction has a bad relationship, it will be more than worth the loss for Yi Zhongnan.

After visiting Fat Donglai Life Square, Yi Zhongnan and his entourage went directly to Yutan Hotel. Entering the hotel, Zheng Wentong saw Wang Zhongbing, the general manager of the hotel.

"The chef you asked today to cook this vegetable is not authentic, if the taste is average, it is better to cook Chu cuisine, don't draw a tiger into an anti-dog." Zheng Wentong confessed.

Wang Zhongbing knew that Zheng Wentong was entertaining distinguished guests today, so he immediately made a package ticket, "Zheng Dong, you can rest assured that I will do things." The master of our cooking today, we invited back from Puhai, who had been the chef in the Dongjiao Hotel and entertained foreign leaders, which must have made the leaders eat comfortably. ”

Zheng Wentong was relieved and entered the Lanzi private room. Zheng Wentong's cousin Zheng Wenbai, uncle Zhou Zhiguo, and Yao Yuan all participated in this reception banquet.

Zheng Wenbai came to the Yutan Hotel very early, and after Zheng Wentong informed Yi Zhongnan to set off from Yushan Town, he instructed the back kitchen of the hotel to start preparing food. Zhou Zhiguo was on duty for half a day in the morning, and after dealing with the affairs of the unit, he came to meet Zheng Wentong and them.

Yao Yuan as Chunjiang. District. High-ranking officials, there is no suitable reason to see Yi Zhongnan in advance. When Zheng Wenbai went to the Yutan Hotel to prepare for the reception, he, as Wenbai's father-in-law, happened to come over to help.

Zheng Wentong wanted to give Zheng Wenbai a chance to perform, so he took the initiative to speak, "Wenbai, what dishes did you prepare today?" Uncle Yi has a partial taste, remember to ask the chefs not to put too many chili peppers. ”

Yi Zhongnan was also the first time to get close to Zheng Wenbai, and he had already seen Zheng Wenbai's personal file information.

His first impression of Zheng Wenbai was good, he didn't talk much, which is the most basic job requirement as a secretary.

Zheng Wenbai introduced: "We mainly prepared local dishes today, and then we also prepared some of our Zhongchu specialties. ”

Yi Zhongnan said to Yi Xin: "You will be transferred to work in Jiangchu this year, we Chinese pay attention to the people's food, and eating is the most important." You have to have a good taste of Zhongchu cuisine today, and you have to adapt to it as soon as possible. ”

Yi Xin responded, "Dad, when I was studying abroad at MIT, my classmates were all from all over the world, and I ate hot pot with my classmates, and I learned to eat spicy food a long time ago." ”

It is impossible for Yi Zhongnan to talk about work at the dinner table, even if he wants to learn about the situation in Jiangchu City through Yao Yuan, he will only do so in a private place.

Zheng Wenbai and Yi Zhongnan confirmed the menu again, and Yi Zhongnan was satisfied with Zheng Wenbai's arrangement.

Zheng Wenbai came over and asked Zheng Wentong, "The dish has been decided, but the wine has not yet been decided." Second brother, you have saved some Moutai in the hotel, are we drinking Moutai today, or are we drinking other wine? ”

Zheng Wentong said: "Although I have a private treat today, but eating and drinking in Yutan Hotel for the New Year is not good, you first take two boxes of vintage Wuliangye, and then prepare hot coconut milk for Yi Xin." Why didn't you call Wen Na over today, the two women also have a common topic. ”

Zheng Wenbai has his own considerations, "When Yi Xin goes to work in Jiangchu, it will be too late for Wen Na to get in touch again, didn't you say that Sister Hongyu has a good relationship with Yi Xin in Sanya?" ”

Wang Zhongbing sent Wuliangye to the box, and Zheng Wenbai poured wine for everyone. Yi Zhongnan said: "Today is Wentong's treat, let's get together." During the Chinese New Year, everyone should have drunk less, today each person drinks two or two meanings, in the afternoon I have to go to Wentong's house as a guest, this drunk door is not polite. ”

Since Yi Zhongnan said so, of course Yao Yuan and the others have no opinion. After everyone finished saluting Yi Zhongnan's wine, Yi Zhongnan began to return the salute.

He first found Zhou Zhiguo, "I have long heard Wentong mention you, Yushan Town is developing very well, Comrade Zhiguo, do you have any plans to work in the provincial capital?" ”

Zhou Zhiguo's body paused suddenly, he didn't expect Yi Zhongnan to ask him about his work at the banquet.

Zhou Zhiguo thought about it for a moment, "Thank you. Book. Remember the kindness of the city. Book. Remembering that I have the grace of knowing me, I still want to give us another two or three years to work for Yushan Town to consolidate the economic foundation of Yushan Town. ”

Yao Yuan's heart tightened, if Yi Zhongnan valued Zhou Zhiguo and let Zhou Zhiguo serve in the provincial capital, then there was a chance that he would enter the municipal party committee office, and it would be impossible for Zheng Wenbai to continue to serve as Yi Zhongnan's secretary. Yao Yuan didn't know if Yi Zhongnan mentioned it casually, or if he was not very satisfied with Zheng Wenbai's investigation?

Zheng Wenbai looked as usual, and introduced today's dishes and methods to Yi Xin. Yi Xin smiled, "You and Wen Tong not only look alike, but also have similar habits when eating, and you have to talk about being ugly and ugly in a dish." ”

Zheng Wentong teased Zheng Wenbai, "Yi Xin means that she doesn't need to explain the content of the dish to her today, she only cares about whether the dish is delicious or not." ”

Yi Zhongnan is also observing Zheng Wenbai's performance, if Zheng Wenbai's performance just now is a little out of shape, then he will have to consider finding a new secretary candidate. Although he wants to strengthen his relationship with the slope department through Zheng Wenbai, the premise is that Zheng Wenbai can be qualified for the key position of secretary. For a senior leader like Yi Zhongnan, the secretary and the driver are very important, and they must choose their own people.

This meal, Yi Zhongnan ate the guests and hosts. After everyone finished eating, Zheng Wentong invited Yi Zhongnan to his house for tea. Yi Zhongnan knew that Zheng Wentong was providing a place to chat, and let him chat privately with Yao Yuan and Zheng Wenbai. This is also Yi Zhongnan's final inspection of Zheng Wenbai, if this pass is passed, Zheng Wenbai's transfer to Yi Zhongnan's side will be decided.

When Zheng Wentong returned home, he found that his parents were at home, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family had gone out. Mother Zhou Yuling explained, "I'm afraid that your sister-in-law will say the wrong thing and let your eldest brother's family of three go back to his father-in-law's house and come back tomorrow." ”

Zheng Xingjian made a pot of tea for Yi Zhongnan, and Yi Xin briefly visited the residence of Zheng Wentong's hometown, she didn't expect that this four-story self-built house was actually equipped with an elevator and a home theater.

Yi Xin said to Zheng Wentong: "If this house is in Puhai, it will be worth at least tens of millions." ”

Zheng Wentong said: "The property is in different locations, of course, the value is different, the reason why this elevator was installed at the beginning, is because the grandmother is old, it is convenient for the elderly to go up and down the stairs." ”

Zheng Wentong prepared a tea room on the third floor for Yi Zhongnan, this tea room has better sound insulation, he is usually at home, and he also likes to talk about business with people in the tea room, and ordinary people will not break in.

Yi Zhongnan talked to Yao Yuan about things first, Yao Yuan left the tearoom with a happy face, and he called Zheng Wenbai, "Wenbai, Yi. Book. Remember to let you come over for a moment. ”

After Zheng Wenbai entered, he stayed longer than Yao Yuan, and his uncle Zheng Xingmin also rushed over when he heard the news, he paced back and forth on the first floor, sitting on the sofa for a while, and standing up again for a while.

Zheng Xingjian coughed, "Xingmin, you calm down, your posture, if you let Yi. Book. If you can't sit still, or you can go home first, and I'll call you if there's anything you do. ”

After Zheng Wenbai came out, his expression was more serious, and everyone couldn't see the result of Yi Zhongnan's conversation with him. Zheng Wenbai walked in front of Zhou Zhiguo, "Uncle, Yi. Book. Remember to let you go. In order to show closeness, Zheng Wenbai also followed Zheng Wentong to call Uncle Zhou Zhiguo.

Zhou Zhiguo was surprised, he had clearly rejected Yi Zhongnan's olive branch at the dinner table just now, and it stands to reason that Yi Zhongnan had nothing to talk to him about.

Zheng Wentong guessed in his heart, and didn't pick it out, "Uncle, in fact, Uncle Yi is just going to talk to you about some family life, so you don't have to think too much." ”

Zhou Zhiguo was a little stunned at this time, he and Yi Zhongnan also met for the first time, and the two had never dealt with each other before, so there was something to talk about.

Yi Xin also guessed a little and said to Zhou Zhiguo: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I am very familiar with Hongyu. It's definitely a good thing that my dad talked to you. ”

Hearing Yi Xin say this, Zhou Zhiguo was even more at a loss. Old Man Zheng is the highest-level cadre who went out of Tongji, and there is naturally more movement between the leaders of Tongji City and Old Man Zheng, but if Yi Zhongnan is transferred to Jiangchu City to take up a post, his influence can also radiate to Tongji City. Zhou Zhiguo didn't understand where Yi Xin said that good things came from......
