"Director Cao, sit down and drink a glass of water first. It will take a long time. Let's talk slowly." Luo Ningyou stood up and asked Cao Shujie to sit down.
Cao Shujie hasn't sat down since he came in.
Liu Furong had already filled him with water from the tea cup, and pointed at the red tea and said, "The tea I brought here myself is the best here."
Cao Shujie picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He felt a unique fragrance in his mouth.
“Delicious.”
"Secretary Liu, if you get promoted, who will take over here in Qingshi Town? Secretary Luo?" Cao Shujie has already looked at Luo Ningyou.
In addition to being the mayor of Qingshi Town, Luo Ningyou is also the deputy secretary of the Qingshi Town Party Committee. It is not an exaggeration to call him Secretary Luo.
However, what Cao Shujie wants is for Luo Ningyou to become a full-time employee. In this way, he can use this platform to be promoted to deputy director in the next step.
When Luo Ningyou heard what Cao Shujie said, his face became even more joyful.
No need to say it again, it is already clear.
"Secretary Liu, Secretary Luo, congratulations to both of you!" Cao Shujie picked up the teacup: "I'll toast you two with tea instead of wine."
Don't mention anything else, etiquette should be arranged first.
Liu Furong and Luo Ningyou raised their glasses together and drank the tea without fear of burning it.
"Director Cao, let's see what you want to eat and order some dishes first." Luo Ningyou handed the menu to Cao Shujie.
This is a black leather book, which is similar to a crystal photo album. Each page has several photos of different dishes, accompanied by text.
The menu is quite exquisite and feels heavy in your hand.
Cao Shujie was not polite to them either. He ordered the dishes he liked and left the rest to the two of them.
Liu Furong didn't order anything, so Luo Ningyou made up for it with a few dishes, and then opened the wine he brought.
Cao Shujie saw that it was a pottery jar.
Luo Ningyou also said: "It was a jar of grain wine given by a friend in the past. I have never been willing to drink it. I have kept it for more than ten years. We drank it today."
"More than ten years, this is too precious." Cao Shujie said.
But Luo Ningyou felt that it was just the right time to drink it today, and he thought it was worth it.
As the wine seal was opened, a scent of wine spread out, and the wine turned slightly pale yellow. Coupled with the dusty feeling of time settling on the pottery jar, he knew that although this was not a wine worthy of its name, it was
It must be something good.
Luo Ningyou personally poured wine for Liu Furong and Cao Shujie. He said: "I am very grateful to Secretary Liu for taking care of me over the years, and I am also very grateful to Director Cao for supporting my work over the years. This wine is just right for the two of them."
"
Except for a plate of fried pickles with chili peppers, none of the main dishes that had been ordered were served. Luo Ningyou had already picked up the wine glass: "Let's try this wine first."
The three of them ate pickles and drank half a glass of wine.
After the main dishes they ordered came, the drinking speed slowed down.
Liu Furong talked about his preparations to take over the position of senior party official in Chengguan Town, Pingyuan County.
Speaking of this, Liu Furong mentioned Xia Zhenjiang, the former senior party official in Qingshi Town: "Comrade Zhenjiang is now in charge of the propaganda work in Pingyuan County."
"Minister of the County Propaganda Department?" Cao Shujie asked.
In Xia Zhenjiang's position, he is highly qualified. If he takes a deputy position, there is a high probability that he will not be able to do so.
Liu Furong nodded: "County Propaganda Department, concurrently member of the County Standing Committee."
That makes sense.
There are only seven or eight people in the county who can sit at the same table for a meeting and decide on Pingyuan County's policies for the next year. According to Liu Furong's wishes, Xia Zhenjiang also entered this circle of power.
But if you think about it carefully, this time is quite fast.
Xia Zhenjiang left Qingshi Town in 2012, and Qingshi Town was later taken over by Liu Furong.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and this time even Liu Furong is leaving.
But Cao Shujie is confident that he has managed the operation of Qingshi Town as a whole. No matter how they change things, his basic base here is considered stable.
At the same time, Cao Shujie also wanted to understand another thing: "So Secretary Liu was transferred to Chengguan Town as a senior party official because of Minister Xia's help?"
"Yes." Liu Furong nodded.
At this time, he did not deny it.
He said: "If it weren't for Minister Xia's help, I really wouldn't want to go. It would be better to stay in Qingshi Town. Director Cao, your place is developing in full swing. Sooner or later, I will be able to be assigned as a deputy director."
What Liu Furong said is absolutely correct.
As long as the current situation of Qingshi Town continues to develop, sooner or later it will become an important economic development town under Pingyuan County. He even thinks that it will be easy to surpass the current Chengguan Town. And for such an important economic development town, it is certain that the leader will have a higher level.
things.
Things have already happened, Liu Furong doesn't want to change it now, and Cao Shujie doesn't mention it again.
Besides, putting aside the variability of the future, Liu Furong has crossed the threshold in one step, which is a good thing in itself at his age.
When drinking, the main thing is to congratulate him.
Even Luo Ningyou drank two more drinks.
He also made a special toast to Cao Shujie, expressing his hope that he would continue to receive support from Xuemeng Food Factory in the future.
"Don't worry, Xuemeng Food Factory will only develop faster and faster in the next step." Cao Shujie is very confident about this.
Liu Furong also asked casually, does Xuemeng Food Factory plan to develop elsewhere in the future?
"For example, go to Chengguan Town?" he said.
Chengguan Town is the center of Pingyuan County. It used to be the only important economic development town in the county, and now there is also Qingshi Town.
Cao Shujie also understands his thoughts, but Xuemeng Food Factory has not even completed the construction of this area, and it is undoubtedly unwise to invest in other places.
Cao Shujie didn't mention it. Liu Furong already understood and didn't mention it anymore.
After staying in Qingshi Town for so many years, he is quite familiar with the situation of Xuemeng Food Factory. He just told Cao Shujie that he hoped there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"Secretary Liu, we definitely have opportunities to cooperate." Cao Shujie said.
After waiting for the dishes to be served one after another, the drinking atmosphere became better and better.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was already past 2 pm when we parted.
Cao Shujie did not return to the company, but went directly to the entrance of the town center primary school to wait for Mengmeng to finish school.
In the middle, I got out of the car to get some fresh air, hoping to take away the smell from my body.
But when Mengmeng got in the car, she suddenly smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her father's body, and she directly covered her nose and shouted that it smelled bad.
"Dad, have you been drinking again?" Mengmeng asked.
Cao Shujie had no way of denying it and admitted it openly.
Mengmeng looked like she knew her father's secret. She pointed at Cao Shujie and said quietly: "Dad, wait, I will tell my mother when I get back."
"Besides complaining, what else can you do?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter
Mengmeng groaned and said, "I'm not complaining. Dad, you clearly know that drinking is wrong, but you still don't let me tell you."
Song Baoming drove seriously and pretended not to hear what happened in the back seat.
Simply speaking from this point of view, his boss still dotes on the little baby.
Song Baoming drove to Caojiazhuang and finally parked the car in front of his boss Cao Shujie's house. He took the bus.
As soon as Mengmeng entered the house, she said she wanted to find her mother to report the situation.
"Mom, let me tell you, dad drank alcohol again and it smells bad." Mengmeng said.
Cao Shujie was walking behind, and when he heard his daughter say this, he wondered if he had beaten her too little, so that she was not afraid of him.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't take what her daughter said to heart at all and asked her husband if something was wrong.
"Liu Furong is leaving. He will go to Chengguan Town and Luo Ningyou will take over." Cao Shujie said to his wife.
This news was not surprising. Cheng Xiaolin asked him who would take over from Luo Ningyou?
Cao Shujie didn't ask at all, and neither Liu Furong nor Luo Ningyou said anything during lunch. He guessed that this position was definitely not promoted on the spot, but was most likely sent from other places.
After he told his wife his guess, Cheng Xiaolin suddenly asked: "Shujie, according to what you said, this newcomer's attitude is unclear?"
"Yeah, but forget about him, just don't look for trouble. If he really doesn't know what's good, I'll let him know whose territory this is." Cao Shujie said.
When Cheng Xiaolin heard what her husband said, she raised her hand and slapped him: "Can you be calmer?"
"Honey, you don't understand. I'm polite first and then defensive. I have a clear attitude." Cao Shujie said, "I'm just a businessman, making some money to support my family."
"I don't bother to get involved in the struggle between them, but if they can't understand, I certainly can't give in."
Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to hear these things.
She felt that the people who came over were sane and would not cause any trouble to their family.
"Shujie, look at Ruirui, I'm going to cook." Cheng Xiaolin went to the kitchen.
Her mother-in-law has been busy setting up a stall recently, and she is too embarrassed to close the stall early when she is busy. As a result, the cooking will not be so timely, so Xiaolin takes over this task.
…
During dinner in the evening, Wang Yuelan talked about what she had gained today, and she felt it was pretty good.
As more and more people come to Caojiazhuang to travel, when it’s meal time, some people go to restaurants, and some eat what they brought, but more people buy some milk, bread and other quick snacks in Caojiazhuang.
consumer goods.
Wang Yuelan set up a stall next to her son's house, which is the closest place to Mengmeng Orchard, and this place is not far from the children's theme park. When she first started setting up a stall, Wang Yuelan's place became a place selling fast-moving consumer goods.
the center point of.
Not to mention the hot eight-treasure porridge she cooked by herself, and the prices of the things Wang Yuelan sold were really cheap. She insisted on taking the path of small profits but quick turnover, which suddenly made her business boom.
These seemingly inconspicuous things are really profitable.
After going back and forth, she shocked herself when she was settling the accounts.
It's not that she makes less, it's that she makes too much, far more than she thought.
"I really didn't expect this thing to be so profitable." Wang Yuelan looked as if she was making a fuss.
It is certainly incomparable to the projects run by her son, but to her, setting up a stall to sell bread, milk, and eight-treasure porridge can actually make more money than the couple used to sell kiwi fruit. This is something beyond their knowledge.
Not to mention Wang Yuelan, Cao Jianguo was so exhausted just from carrying things back and forth, handing things over, and finding money.
He still seems to feel the sound of prompts such as 'XX yuan has been received in WeChat account' and 'XX yuan has been received in Alipay' in his ears.
It’s absolutely amazing!
Cao Shujie listened to his parents talking non-stop and was happy for them.
However, he still reminded: "Mom, Dad, just do it appropriately. Don't take it as your main job. If you're really tired, it's not worth it."
"I know, you don't need to remind me." Wang Yuelan said.
She is now addicted. This is her own business. At least she doesn't have to ask for money from her son. She can also give money to her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
Even Cao Jianguo had this idea.
Cao Shujie felt a little helpless at this moment.
…
At night, Cao Shujie put his son Cao Yirui to sleep, and Mengmeng also fell asleep in another room.
"Daughter-in-law, let's talk tonight?" Cao Shujie's face showed a bit of a secret code that both old couples knew.
Cheng Xiaolin looked lazy: "I'm exhausted today and I really don't want to move."
"Daughter-in-law, it's okay if you don't want to move, I will." Cao Shujie said confidently.
Cheng Xiaolin really wanted to slap him in the face.
But she also knew this was normal.
"Come on," she said.
…
Lei Jun arrived faster than Cao Shujie expected.
On the fourth day after they returned from Xinjiang Wuqi, Lei Jun called.
This made Cao Shujie feel that Lei Jun acted quite quickly.
The day after receiving this call, Lei Jun drove to Caojiazhuang.
This time his wife and daughter didn't come.
When he saw Lei Jun again, Cao Shujie could see the fatigue on his face.
You don't need to think about it to know that his trip to Samsung during this period will not be smooth.
In fact, this is also true. Even the things Cao Shujie did were not always smooth sailing.
"Mr. Cao, how are you? Are you ready for the good wine you mentioned?" Lei Jun asked as soon as he came over.
Cao Shujie pointed to the mountain: "The freshly brewed fruit wine and deer antler soaked wine, which one do you want to drink?"
"Try them all." Lei Jun rubbed his forehead and said, "And your full wax tablet, how many more do you have? Give me some, I'll replenish my energy."
He hasn't slept well in a while.
Many people only see the scenery in front of others, but they have never seen the silent efforts they put in behind the scenes, and sometimes they even don't even have the courage to show their face.
Cao Shujie laughed: "If others want it, it may not be available, but if you, Mr. Lei, want it, then we must arrange it."
Cao Shujie now has a lot of semi-wax and full-wax velvet antler flakes, which he has saved over the past three years. In addition, there are now more than 50 sika deer in his deer park on the mountain, so there is no shortage of velvet antler.
When following Cao Shujie into the house, Lei Jun handed Cao Shujie a box.
Looking at the outer packaging, it is for mobile phones.
"A box of mobile phones?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Lei Jun nodded: "Ah, do you want it? If not, I will give it to someone else."
Cao Shujie definitely wants it, what else do you want if it doesn’t cost money!
"Is this your new mobile phone this year? Then I have to use the company to reward my employees." Cao Shujie said.
When he talked about this, Lei Jun became resentful: "Mr. Cao, last year you used Honor mobile phones to give out prizes. Should you switch to Xiaomi phones this year? Otherwise, given the relationship between us, you wouldn't be able to handle this matter." ()
