Zhang Junping looked at Director Zhang and listened to him quietly.

Director Zhang is almost fifty, not young anymore, but he is still wasting his time in the position of deputy director.

Seeing that Xu Shaomin and Zhang Junping, who were also from the eighth company, got up one by one, and the youngest Zhang Junping was on an equal footing with him.

Xu Shaomin even became a deputy department-level cadre.

This made Director Zhang feel a little depressed and a little more sad.

The Materials Bureau is still too small and has no room for growth.

Ten years ago, he was the youngest deputy director of the Materials Bureau. Now he is the first deputy director of the Materials Bureau, and he is still the deputy director.

If nothing else happens, he will still be the first deputy director for the next two years.

Without Zhang Junping and Xu Shaomin, Director Zhang still felt very good about himself.

One person is below and a thousand are above.

You don't have to bear the responsibility of being the top leader, and you have to give some face to the top leader when speaking in the bureau.

However, Director Zhang felt uncomfortable for the first time, and felt uncomfortable being pressed down for the first time.

But when he was asked to leave the Materials Bureau and go to a new unit to develop his career, he was a little worried about the gains and losses.

He had been idle in the Materials Bureau for too long, and time had worn away his vigor, and he no longer had the courage to move forward that he had at the beginning.

Therefore, Director Zhang can only look at Zhang Junping and Xu Shaomin with envy now.

However, this does not prevent him from making friends and deepening their relationship, and maybe they can be used at some point.

Even if he can't use it himself, his children may still be able to use it in the future.

"Xiao Zhang! I'm old and don't have the energy of you young people. I can only stay in the Materials Bureau to take care of myself.

However, if there is anything in the future that the Materials Bureau can help with, please don’t be polite to me!

If nothing else, we are all from the Eighth Company." Director Zhang said with a gentle smile.

"Ju Zhang is right! We are all from the Eighth Company.

I will always be your soldier, if you have any orders from now on, just tell me."

"hehe!

Okay! Your words are enough!" Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

I am very satisfied with Zhang Junping’s answer.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhang Junping quickly got up and opened the door.

Outside the door is Gao, Section Chief of the Finance Department.

"Section Chief Gao, have you finished asking for leave?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Please finish!

Director Zhang, have you and your sister-in-law been here early?"

"Yes! Your sister-in-law heard that there were so many people eating today, and she was worried that Xiaoye would be too busy alone, so she came over in advance to help Xiaoye." Director Zhang said with a smile.

Director Zhang is very cunning. He obviously requested to come here early, but he blamed it on his wife, and the reason was very upright.

Come and help cook.

"Here is Section Chief Gao? Look, come on! Why are you bringing wine?" Ye Lihua heard the sound and came out of the kitchen to greet Section Chief Gao.

Xu Shaomin was not at home, so the hostess had to come out to say hello.

"I usually don't drink at home. My friend gave me two bottles of wine, so I just took it over and drank it." Section Chief Gao smiled and put the wine on the ground.

"Director Zhang, Chief Gao, you are going to drink tea first, and I will cook for you.

Pingzi, please greet Director Zhang and Section Chief Gao." After Ye Lihua said hello, she returned to the kitchen and continued working.

Zhang Junping made another cup of tea for Section Chief Gao and said with a smile: "Chief Gao, drink tea!

This is the monitor's treasured tea. Usually when I come here, he is reluctant to take it out and would only taste it quietly by himself.

I just tasted it and it just felt like that! It’s not as delicious as my jasmine tea!”

"This is Dahongpao! Judging from the color and the aroma, it's no wonder that Lao Xu is reluctant to let you drink it.

If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give you a drink.

Drinking such tea for you is a waste.

well!

Another thing, you didn’t brew Dahongpao like this!” Section Chief Gao looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said with some distress.

"Chief Gao, isn't it just tea? How can it be so particular!

Isn’t the purpose of us drinking tea to quench our thirst?” Zhang Junping said with a smile.

In fact, how could Zhang Junping not understand tea? When it comes to tea culture, there are probably not many people in the world who understand tea better than him.

Tea culture is also a type of traditional culture, and Zhang Junping now has an intermediate knowledge reserve of traditional culture.

All kinds of tea culture and allusions about tea are at your fingertips.

He is just hiding his clumsiness.

People can't be too smart. If you know everything and know everything, others won't like to play with you.

People who are too smart often have no friends.

"If you say that, I really can't refute you!" Section Chief Gao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the teacup, smelled it with enjoyment, and then took a sip.

"Xiao Gao, you educated people are troublesome! I agree with Xiao Zhang, no matter how good the tea is, it can quench your thirst.

Also, everyone has their own habits when it comes to drinking tea. You think it’s enjoyable to sip it like this, but I think it’s enjoyable to drink it in big sips like this.” Director Zhang said, picking up the teacup and taking a big sip.

Section Chief Gao was not in a position to refute the leader's words, so he just shook his head helplessly.

Just then, someone came outside the door again.

Zhang Junping went to open the door, and it was the HR section chief and the office director who came.

After Ye Lihua came out to greet everyone again, she told Zhang Junping to greet the guests and went back to cook.

Zhang Junping accompanied several former leaders to drink tea and chat in the living room.

Zhang Junping can be regarded as half the master, and everyone knows that Xu Shaomin's promotion this time is inseparable from Zhang Junping's care.

Everyone knows that Zhang Junping introduced those two companies, but after he came back, he handed over the reception work to Xu Shaomin, which is equivalent to giving half of the credit to Xu Shaomin.

Xu Shaomin was able to get into the eyes of city leaders this time because of the investment from two foreign companies.

Everyone couldn't help but envy Xu Shaomin for bringing out a good soldier.

However, no one would envy this. No one in the Materials Bureau knew about the relationship between Zhang Junping and Xu Shaomin.

Back then, Xu Shaomin was very kind to Zhang Junping. He arranged work for a trustworthy relationship, let Zhang Junping live in his house, and introduced him to his wife.

It's not nice to say it, but it's nothing more than this to my own brother.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Zhang, if you leave, what will happen to the deal with the Double-Headed Eagle next year?

We have no contact with the Double-Headed Eagle!" Section Chief Gao of the Planning and Supply Department mentioned one thing.

The Materials Bureau has two senior section chiefs, one is the chief of the Finance Section and the other is the Chief of the Planning and Supply Section.

Although the Purchasing Department and the Planning and Supply Department have not been merged yet, their superiors have approved it and they will be merged together after this year.

Chief Gao of the planning and supply department did not want to give up the fat of the double-headed eagle.

"Section Chief Gao, although the transaction with the Double-Headed Eagle can still be carried out, the previous profits cannot be replicated.

But there was something going on at the Double-Headed Eagle and there was an urgent shortage of supplies, so there was such a huge profit.

Although the Double-Headed Eagle is still short of supplies this year, they are not stupid and can buy them from our country or other countries through normal channels.

Why spend more money to exchange from us?

Don't count on it this year. Even if you get supplies in exchange, the price will not be cheaper than what we purchase from normal channels, and may even be much more expensive." Zhang Junping directly broke the dream of the high-tech section chief of the planning and supply section.

"Alas!" Section Chief Gao sighed, "I was still thinking that I could ask Xiao Zhang to help replace a batch of supplies this year." Section Chief Gao of the Planning and Supply Section sighed and said with a smile.

"Chief Gao, I'm so sorry!

Over at the Double-Headed Eagle, it would be okay if one person goes to trade some supplies on a small scale.

However, a large-scale exchange like ours is really not worth the gain." Zhang Junping shrugged and said apologetically.

Although the relationship with the Double-Headed Eagle is not good, the trade between the two parties has not been cut off.

Even the bilateral trade agreement just signed last year stipulated that transactions between the two parties would be settled in Swiss francs.

Therefore, why should we smuggle materials that can be obtained through normal international trade?

Strictly speaking, the exchange of materials between the two parties is an act of smuggling.

It's just that the Double-Headed Eagle is in urgent need of food and liquor.
