After the report, everyone in the working group went about their own business. The investigation of Jintang was only part of their work. They would continue to investigate other places in the next step, so some homework must be done first.
When he was about to get off work, Qin Hai, who was sorting out information, received a call from Yang Xinyu from the office.
"Xiao Qin? Do you have any plans after get off work?" Yang Xinyu asked in a gentle tone on the phone.
"...No." Qin Hai was a little stunned for a moment and couldn't figure out what Yang Xinyu meant.
"If you don't have any arrangements, come to my office after get off work and I'll treat you to dinner," Yang Xinyu said.
"What's the matter?" Qin Hai asked strangely. Yang Xinyu was sent to work in Pujiang from the capital. His family is all in the capital, so he is equivalent to a bachelor in Pujiang. He usually eats in the canteen with everyone. He
This was at least the first time Qin Hai had encountered such a thing as specially inviting his subordinates to dinner.
"It's nothing, I just want to find someone to chat with." Yang Xinyu said and hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Qin Hai became a little uneasy. The leader invited you to dinner for no reason, which seemed to have the same meaning as inviting people to tea from relevant departments. It can be said that there is no good banquet. Qin Hai didn't need to think too much, he could guess that Yang Xinyu invited you
Eating by oneself is related to what he reported to Yang Xinyu before. Even if others cannot see Qin Hai's consideration in this matter, Yang Xinyu must be very aware of it.
Since Yang Xinyu chose to talk to him through eating, Qin Hai naturally couldn't let others know. He stayed in the office until after get off work. After everyone else had left, he packed up his things and came to Yang Xinyu's office.
.
"Director Yang, I'm here." Qin Hai stood at the door and said.
"Oh, wait a moment, I'll finish writing this line." Yang Xinyu hurriedly wrote something on a document in front of him without raising his head. Then he capped the pen, put the document away, stood up and asked with a smile.
: "How's it going? It doesn't affect your date with your partner, right?"
"Haha, I still don't know which kindergarten my partner attends in the small class... Director Yang is good at picking people. If you invite Xiao Lu to accompany you to dinner, they probably won't have time." Qin Hai also replied with a smile.
"What? Xiaolu and Xiaoxia are really in love?" Yang Xinyu inquired rather gossipy.
Qin Haidao: "It can only be said that a little spark has just been sparked. It is really surprising that a fashionable person like Xiaolu can agree with a nerd like Lao Xia."
Yang Xinyu shook his head and said: "You don't understand this. It's precisely because Xiaolu is a fashionable woman that she likes relatively stable and reliable young men. This is called complementary personalities. Xiao Qin, you are still young now. When you start looking for a partner, you will
knew."
"Director Yang is indeed a lover... Well, he is indeed rich in experience. I will have to learn more from Director Yang in the future." Qin Hai decisively swallowed the two words after "love". The leader is joking with you, that's why
To show that you are approachable, you must not treat your boss as a buddy who can talk about anything. If you joke with your boss too much, the consequences will be serious.
The two people talked about a very light topic and walked out of the small building of the Nationalization Office together. When they came to the street, Yang Xinyu asked Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, I'm not familiar with Pujiang. Do you know where there is a good restaurant?"
?Hmm...the grade is a little higher."
"Have you invited any other guests?" Qin Hai asked.
"No, just the two of us." Yang Xinyu said.
"The two of us... can we just find a place to have something to eat?" Qin Haidao said. In his mind, Yang Xinyu's invitation to dinner was just a formality, and the real purpose was to talk to him about work. Since it was just a formality,
Why bother looking for a high-end venue?
Yang Xinyu shook his head: "Today is a different day, so I have to find a more upscale place."
"Okay...but I'm not familiar with Pujiang. When I went to colleges and research institutes with Xiaolu some time ago, Xiaolu told me about a restaurant on Huaihai Road. It's said to be of high quality. How about we go there?
Where to go?" Qin Hai said.
Yang Xinyu said: "It's up to you. You lead the way and I'll just pay."
Qin Hai looked around and happened to see a taxi driving in front, so he stepped forward and waved and stopped the car. He opened the door of the back seat and said to Yang Xinyu: "Director Yang, please get in the car.
"
Yang Xinyu smiled slightly and got in the car. Qin Hai closed the door, sat in the passenger seat, and told the driver the name of the restaurant. The driver actually knew the place, nodded, and drove on.
Yang Xinyu looked at Qin Hai's skillful behavior in negotiating with the driver and asked, "What, Xiao Qin, do you often take taxis in Pujiang?"
Qin Hai turned around and said with a wry smile: "How dare you? Xiaolu and I go to those colleges and universities. No matter how difficult the road is, we always take buses. Sometimes we wish we could buy a bicycle and ride there. Let's localize
The office has a great reputation, but it is really stingy in terms of financial management. I heard that except for receiving foreign guests, you are not allowed to take taxis for anything else."
"There's nothing wrong with being stingy." Yang Xinyu said, "The country's finances are very difficult, and the funds for our localization office are also limited. How can we not be stingy?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "This is the result of your insistence on principles, Director Yang. You should know that many departments ask their subordinate companies to help reimburse taxi fares. We have so many cooperative units under the Localization Office, you can just find a few
If we share it among each unit, it will be enough for everyone to live a more relaxed life."
Yang Xinyu replied calmly: "You are right... I really need to change my old concept."
When the car arrived at the door of the restaurant, Qin Hai took out the money and paid the fare. The driver habitually took out the invoice book and prepared to write an invoice to Qin Hai. Qin Hai waved his hand and said: "No need, I am paying privately, you
Once the invoice is issued, I don’t have anywhere to reimburse it.”
"Oh, you two, please go away." The driver put away the invoice book and greeted politely.
The two got out of the car and faced the high-end restaurant that Lu Xiaolin had introduced. The restaurant seemed to be quite old and should have been built in the imperialist era. It was completely in Western style. Through the large glass windows, you could see
The decoration inside was splendid, and the costumes of the waiters were very different from those country-style restaurants on the street, which made Qin Hai mistakenly think that he was back in Madrid.
"Director Yang, how is it here?" Qin Hai asked with a smile. Yang Xinyu said that he wanted to find a higher-end place, but this place seemed too high-end, and he didn't know if Yang Xinyu could accept it.
Yang Xinyu looked at the furnishings in the restaurant, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, but he still said with a smile: "Since I'm here, let's go here... Good guy, one meal here will probably cost me half a month's salary, right?"
"
"Otherwise, let's find another restaurant." Qin Hai suggested. He knew that Yang Xinyu was always frugal and very principled. Since he said he was treating Qin Hai to a meal privately, he would definitely not use public funds. He would eat it in one meal.
Half a month's salary is too luxurious for a salaried person.
"No, just here." Yang Xinyu said, walking forward and pushing open the door of the restaurant. The waiter quickly came forward to greet them, asked the number of people, and led them to a seat for two by the window.
"I have only been to a restaurant of this level a few times when entertaining foreign guests. Ordering and other matters are all handled by Xiaolu, and I don't understand. How about, Xiao Qin, please order." Yang Xinyu said
The waiter pushed the menu in front of Qin Hai and said to him.
The high-end restaurants of that era were very ordinary from the perspective of a later time traveler. Qin Hai opened the menu and ordered a few mid-range dishes. He estimated that the price was about sixty or seventy yuan, and thought it should be
It was more appropriate. He hesitated in his mind whether he should rush to pay the bill when it came time to check out. After all, he was a man with a net worth of over a million. It was a bit unbearable for Yang Xinyu to spend so much money to treat him to dinner.
.
"A bottle of red wine." When the waiter finished recording the name of the dish and turned to leave, Yang Xinyu suddenly added.
Qin Hai was really shocked this time. He nodded to the waiter and motioned the waiter to write down the red wine. Then he turned back, looked at Yang Xinyu and asked: "Director Yang, what is going on? Is it true today?"
Is it some special day?"
"It's not very special," Yang Xinyu said with a smile, "I just suddenly remembered that today is my birthday. In previous years, at this time, my wife would cook me a bowl of longevity noodles. This year I am busy with work and can't go back.
I went to Beijing for my birthday, so I decided to go out and celebrate by myself."
"So that's it..." Qin Hai was a little surprised, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have called all my colleagues in the office to celebrate you together."
Yang Xinyu said: "No, I always don't like to alarm everyone for my own affairs. By the way, our party has regulations that require leading cadres to do no birthday celebrations, no gifts, less toasts, and less claps. I invite you to accompany me today.
, our relationship is not considered to be a relationship between a leader and a subordinate, but just ordinary friends. Drinking and chatting among friends does not violate discipline."
"This rule seems to be old, right?" Qin Hai said with a smile, "How many people still do this now?"
Qin Hai has never encountered birthday celebrations or gift-giving. But when it comes to toasting and clapping, has Qin Hai not seen enough? Just on this trip to Jintang, he didn't know how many toasts he received.
When it comes to drinking, you must know that his identity is only a secretary of the working group, and he has no visible real power. If someone of Yang Xinyu's level went there, the toasters would probably be able to line up for a mile.
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Yang Xinyu smiled lightly and said, "Yes, they are all outdated regulations. However, some things must be passed down by someone. We are old, Xiao Qin, these traditions are yours
Don’t lose it.”
Having said this, he looked at Qin Hai with clear eyes, his eyes filled with a thousand words.
