He arrived at my room in the afternoon, and I had just woken up. He told me that the Beijing Office had already connected us, and they would pick us up at the airport tomorrow afternoon and let us go there together. He also told me that the Japanese side had also

The Liaison Office in Beijing has made the connection, and we will meet at the hotel where we are staying the day after tomorrow and hold the first formal negotiation.

This must have been arranged by the Beijing Office after Governor Huang ordered it. I thought to myself. It seems that Governor Huang is indeed very supportive of our work in Shangjiang City.

Secretary-General Li and I had dinner in the hotel in the evening. Secretary-General Li ordered four or five dishes, and he ordered them according to the pictures on the menu. When the dishes arrived, I found that the dishes were very beautiful, and after taking a few bites, I felt

The taste is very good, but there is one dish that I don’t know what ingredients it is made of.

Inside are filaments cut from two different materials and wrapped in sesame seeds. It is a fried food, but the color is very white.

"What is this made of?" I asked Secretary-General Li.

He shook his head, "I don't know, I think it looks good, and the price is not cheap, it costs eighty-eight yuan a serving."

I took two more bites. There was a hint of sweetness in the mouth of this dish. It definitely shouldn't be meat. The other kind of filaments should be beef. However, this kind of filaments are just for decoration. The thin filaments with a slight sweet taste accounted for

Four fifths of this dish. But I still can't figure out what this thing is made of.

I was immediately curious and hurriedly called the waiter to ask. After the waiter told us, I was immediately surprised. I took another bite and chewed it carefully... Sure enough, it was it, made of lotus root cut into thin strips.

I immediately sighed, "It's hard for this hotel to make money. Such simple ingredients are used to make such delicious dishes, and they are sold at such an expensive price. The problem is that the people who eat them feel that the price is what it should be. This shows that

What? This shows that creativity is value. The same is true for our reform in Shangjiang City. We have restructured the companies that were losing money every year and adjusted the industrial structure, so that the companies that were losing money can get out of trouble and turn losses into profits.

The idea is the same."

He said: "Mayor Feng is really from a high position. He can say such profound truths about such a simple matter."

I immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "Secretary Li, are you praising me or mocking me?"

He hurriedly said: "Of course it's a compliment."

I think his praise of me is a bit disgusting. In fact, flattery is also a science, but many people have not studied it seriously.

Flattery should be sincere praise from the heart, a natural act of kindness, and does not require you to rack your brains or deliberate. It is often just words that come out of your mouth and come to you at random.

Treat every compliment as a learning process and use the advantages of others as an example for you to follow, and others will be happy to help you. At the same time, learn to express your kindness more naturally in practice.

Don't agree with others' opinions immediately. Give yourself some time to show your caution and meticulousness, and then give others the opportunity to further express their opinions. Such approval will appear more valuable.

In any situation, you must use appropriate methods to flatter anyone. You can regard flattery as an investment in the future. Even if it is other department leaders or people you hate, you should also be familiar with it.

Appreciate his strengths and it will pay off.

Flattery is not only saying good things, but also speaking nice words. The tone of greeting, discussion, concern and respect is also flattery.

If you don't believe the other person and think the other person is not worthy of praise, you don't need to praise him. False praise will put you in a predicament that you can't get out of, and the other person will feel that you are mocking rather than flattering.

Nowadays, people in the officialdom regard flattery as a kind of deliberateness, and the people being flattered have long been numb to such deliberateness. Therefore, even if flattery is given, the effect will be ineffective. At most, it will make the person being flattered laugh.

At this moment, I laughed at his flattery, and at the same time I felt the distance between myself and him. This made me stop saying more intimate words to him.

So we finished our meal quickly, and then said to him: "You have a good rest, you will have a lot of things to do in the next few days. We will go to the Japanese place tomorrow morning. Although the connection with the Beijing Office has been completed

This matter, but the matter belongs to us in Shangjiang City, we still need to implement it, what if there is anything missing?"

He asked me: "Then do I need to contact the other party first?"

I nodded, "Just give them a call, but don't let the comrades in the Beijing Office know about this. Otherwise, it will offend people. They will feel that we are not trustworthy about their work. This is not a matter of trust."

The question is, because we are the real Party A, what if the people from the Beijing Office just made a simple contact? Also, tomorrow we have to discuss with the people from the Beijing Office the seats for the meeting the day after tomorrow.

, To be honest, I don’t quite understand some international etiquette. Don’t make any jokes.”

After returning to the room, I immediately called Zhuang Qing. She said that she would be on the set tonight. Then she said to me apologetically: "I'll stay with you in a few days. I really don't have time today."

I felt a little disappointed, "Aren't you going home at night?"

She said: "I'm here in Huairou. I won't go back tonight. I will continue filming during the day tomorrow."

I muttered: "Then you have to be with me one more time before I leave."

She smiled and said: "Feng Xiao, are you really not tired of me at all?"

I said, "How could it be? Every time I'm with you, I'm very passionate."

She then said to me softly: "Feng Xiao, I like to hear you say things like this. Hey... that's it. I'm going out soon."

A busy signal came from the phone, and I suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Fortunately, I brought a book with me, so I read in the room.

An hour later, Secretary-General Li came and told me: "I have contacted people from the Japanese company. They mean that they do have some details that they need to discuss with us tomorrow morning. The time has been arranged.

Yes, I’ll be at their company at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

I nodded, "You call the Liaison Office in Beijing immediately and tell me that I want to use the car tomorrow morning... Forget it, I'll call the director of the Liaison Office in Beijing myself."

Just now, I suddenly realized a problem. The Beijing Office knew about my arrival in Beijing, but the director of the Beijing Office did not call me. I am at the same level as him, but he still hung up on me after all.

The title of Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government. I didn’t do this well myself. I should have called the other party as soon as I got here.

After Secretary-General Li left, I immediately called the director of the Beijing Office, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to report to you after I arrived in Beijing. I mainly visited several leaders and old friends. Now I have to report to you."

Isn’t it too late?”

I said this to him half-jokingly. Now this is all I can do. This is the only way to make up for my mistakes.

He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I should be the one to apologize to you. Recently, several provincial leaders have been in Beijing, which has kept me very busy. I originally wanted to call you, but I thought of Huang Province.

We have to meet after we grow up, so we haven't contacted you. Mayor Feng, please don't have any ideas."

I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, but judging from the tone of his words, it seemed that he didn't particularly care about my mistake. But for an old official like him, happiness and anger

I've long since developed the ability to keep my eyes open, so I just listen to what he says. But such things are trivial after all, and even if he has some thoughts in his heart, it won't cause him to be so alienated from me.

, at most, he just slandered me a few words in his heart.

I immediately said: "I have something to trouble you about. I want to use your car tomorrow morning. Is it convenient for you?"

He pondered for a moment and then said: "The cars in the Beijing Office are really tight recently. Tomorrow...tomorrow morning should not be a big problem. A leader will return to Jiangnan tonight. But Mayor Feng, there is only one

Passat. Look..."

I immediately felt that the quality of this car was a bit low, but it was still better than nothing. I said, "The Passat is fine too. I'll just use it all morning. There's no need for a driver. I can drive it myself, okay?"

He laughed, "I understand, Mayor Feng has a private event. Okay, I'll ask the driver to deliver it to you right away."

Then he asked me for my room number. I was thinking that maybe he was deliberately telling me that I was nervous about using the car, so that it would appear that he had sold me a big favor. Of course, maybe I was just being a villain.

In the belly of a gentleman.

Not long after I made this call, I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was Secretary-General Luo coming again, and I was thinking: What happened to this person? He didn’t call me in advance the last time he came to my room.

, why are you here again? Are you here to spy on me?

Feeling very unhappy, I immediately opened the door. After opening the door, I turned around and left the doorway, saying, "If you have anything to do, just call me. Why do you have to come here again and again? I'm reading a book, what are you doing?"
Chapter completed!
