7, give gifts and eat please

After hanging up Wu Mei's call, Li Wei sat in the executive chair and remembered what Bureau Bai had warned him: At the beginning of taking office, he should first visit ** Director Yu.

Li Wei first called an acquaintance in the ** Office and asked Director Yu who happened to be at home today. He also remembered that although this kind of visit was of an official nature, he could not go empty-handed? China is a country of etiquette, and gifts in people's interactions are

It's very important. It won't work if it's cheap, it won't work if it's expensive, and it won't work if the gift is inappropriate. Li Wei is a layman in this regard, so he can only ask Director Bai for advice. He has been the director for many years, so he must have experience in this area.

Li Wei called Director Bai and expressed his intention to visit Director Yu at his home. Director Bai smiled and said, "You are asking the right person. Director Yu has a very weird personality and is very honest.

He doesn’t charge money, doesn’t buy cards, and doesn’t accept cigarettes or alcohol, but he loves calligraphy very much, especially the calligraphy of collecting fish in the water. He thinks this is an exchange between literati and elegant people, and it does not count as bribery. Director Yu and I used to work together

I've been through this before and know his character very well."

Li Wei, a fish in the water, naturally knows that. He is the most famous figure in the calligraphy and painting circles of South China. He is especially good at regular script and meticulous flowers. He is the only outstanding person in South China who has joined the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association. Therefore, most people with some status in South China have hangings in their homes.

He is proud of his calligraphy and painting.

Li Wei thanked Bai Ju, called Feng Xue, and said, "I plan to visit Director Yu at his home later. Please prepare a gift."

Feng Xue asked: "How much does it cost to prepare?"

Li Wei said: "I have inquired, and Director Yu only accepts calligraphy and painting. So, you immediately go to Shui Yu's house and ask for a three-foot calligraphy, which is estimated to cost about two thousand."

Feng Xue's ability to do things was still very strong. Half an hour later, he came back with a letter and said: "The fish in the water has written many words for our Education Bureau before and gave him a preferential price of one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan."

.”

Li Wei unfolded it and took a look. It was a copy of Du Mu's "Red Cliff" written in block letters. It was considered a fine product. One thousand eight hundred yuan was indeed a good deal.

Li Wei wrapped the words in newspaper and said to Feng Xue: "Get ready and come with me."

Feng Xue responded and went out.

In five minutes, Feng Xue called and said that the car was ready and asked if we should leave now? Li Wei said, go now.

He went downstairs, and the clean Audi was parked under the building. Feng Xue was waiting beside the car.

The two of them took a car to Director Yu's house, and Director Yu was very enthusiastic.

Of course Director Yu has heard about this young man with a very prosperous official career, and knows that he is the most popular person in front of County Magistrate Liu. Director Yu is already fifty-nine years old this year and will retire next year. From now on, the world will be dominated by these young people.

After retirement, if something happens, I will inevitably trouble others, so I will naturally start paving the way from now on.

Li Wei was naturally very humble and sincerely invited Director Yu Duoduo to go to the Education Bureau to supervise and guide the work.

Director Yu patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said, "I believe that as a young man, you have the energy and ability to do a good job in education in South China."

Finally, Li Wei took the calligraphy from Feng Xue, held it to Director Yu with both hands and said, "I heard that Director Yu is good at calligraphy. I happen to have a calligraphy of Mr. Fish in the Water in my hand. Please take a look at it."

Director Yu took the calligraphy, unfolded it, his eyes lit up and said, "Good calligraphy, good calligraphy."

Li Wei said: "Since Director Yu likes it, I will give it to you. I can't appreciate it, so it will be a waste if I leave this calligraphy anywhere."

Director Yu said: "Why is this so embarrassing? How much did you pay for this calligraphy? I will give you the money."

Li Wei smiled and said: "It was also a gift from a friend. It didn't cost a penny. It's a blessing to meet a literate person like you for this calligraphy."

Director Yu said: "Then I'm not welcome."

Li Wei stood up to say goodbye. Director Yu sent them downstairs, patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said, "Young man, do a good job. We, the old guys, support you."

Li Wei and Feng Xue got into the car. After the car drove out of the community, Feng Xue said with a smile: "Director Yu is really interesting."

Li Wei sighed: "This is not interesting, this is a state. It's amazing."

Feng Xue nodded and said, "Yes, no one can find anything wrong with this way of accepting gifts."

Li Wei said: "Well, I am disgusted with giving gifts with public funds, but it is impossible not to give them. It is really helpless."

Feng Xue said: "Who can say otherwise? When Director Fu took office two years ago, it was a little late to visit Director Yu's house. As a result, the ** set up an inquiry case for each of the Education Bureau and the ten subordinate high schools, which was a hassle.

It took three months and finally cost hundreds of thousands to settle the matter."

Li Wei nodded. It seemed that Bai Ju's advice to him yesterday was too timely. This guy was really knowledgeable about the officialdom. I would need to ask him for advice more in the future.

Back at the Education Bureau, I had just sat down to sign a few documents when someone knocked on the door. Li Wei shouted, "Please come in." The door opened, and a solid middle-aged man walked in. He bowed and presented Li Wei with a toast.

He smoked a cigarette, and then introduced himself that his name was Song Zhimin, he was the principal of South China No. 2 Middle School, he would be off work soon, and he wanted to invite Director Li out for a meal and get acquainted with him.

Li Wei said politely: "I drank a lot of wine at noon and my stomach feels very uncomfortable. I will definitely give you a good meal from now on."

Principal Song wanted to say something more, but when he saw an impatient look on Li Wei's face, he hurriedly left.

Not long after Principal Song left, Chief Jiang, a lean member of the Human Resources Department, opened the door and came in. After some polite remarks, he said: "Bureau Li, the principals of several middle schools in the city have been sitting at my place and haven't left. I want to treat you to dinner. Can you please

look?"

Li Wei said helplessly: "Among them is Principal Song Zhimin? These people really just want to do their jobs well, why are they doing all this nonsense?"

Chief Jiang also said helplessly: "Who says it's not the case? I've already said this, but they just won't leave."

Li Wei smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to give you face. Ever since the news came out that I was transferred to the Education Bureau, I've been eating in restaurants and my stomach is full. Please explain to them that I will host a banquet tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

Entertain them and let's have a good exchange."

Chief Jiang said: "Then it's settled. You can fix it up tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll organize it. Let's get together with the principals in the city first."

Li Wei said: "Okay, let's do it like this."

After seeing Section Chief Jiang off, Li Wei hurried downstairs and walked home. He was afraid that he would not leave and would be blocked in the office again.

He just called home and heard that his mother was making his favorite Sloppy Noodles in the afternoon. He was so greedy that his mouth watered.

When Li Wei returned home, he ate two large bowls in a row amidst his mother's nagging, and his stomach felt much better.

He lay lazily on the sofa and talked to his mother for a while. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eight o'clock, so he got up and walked to Qiangui Songcheng.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Songcheng, he saw Wu Mei, dressed extremely sexy, waving to him.

She wears a white sleeveless top and a red miniskirt. Her slender legs are smooth and round, very attractive.

"Oh my God, Mr. Director, you are finally here. I was afraid you would let me go." Wu Mei took his arm and walked inside.

"Since I promised you, I will definitely come." Li Wei was not used to being held by her arm, and his body was a little stiff.

Wu Mei ordered a deluxe package with a bathroom. There was a small dance floor in the middle of the private room where you could dance. The coffee table was filled with beer and fruit plates.

Li Wei glanced at the private room and asked, "Didn't you say there were four people? Why are you the only one?"
