The two chatted about other things, and before they realized it was time for dinner, Wang Yong came to the guest house and wanted to take Gao Fan to dinner.
Chen Xingquan knew that his status was low, so he wisely got up and left, and made an appointment with Gao Fan to pick him up early the next morning to take him to Yanzhou.
Neither Wang Yong nor Gao Fan had any intention of trying to persuade Chen Xingquan to stay for dinner. After all, it was Deng Youliang who was treating the guests, and they had no right to make decisions for Deng Youliang.
If Chen Xingquan was not a farmer, but a county cadre or something, it would be okay to invite him to the banquet because of his relationship with Gao Fan. But as a farmer, forget it...
The place where Deng Youliang entertained Gao Fan was in the small canteen in the factory, which was a place specially used to entertain guests. The Canghai Fertilizer Factory also had a similar small canteen, and Gao Fan was very familiar with this kind of place.
"Uncle Deng, I'm so sorry that I asked you to make special arrangements."
Seeing Deng Youliang with a big belly and a big smile, Gao Fan bowed down respectfully and saluted, and then presented the salted duck, bacon and other gifts that Gao Yiping asked him to bring.
Deng Youliang was not pretentious at all. He patted Gao Fan on the shoulder and asked him to sit down. Then he took the salted duck and other things in his hand and admired them. He said something like, "Your father is too polite."
Polite words such as "the salted duck is famous all over the world".
The food and wine were served quickly, with two meat and two vegetables. According to the standards of corporate hospitality in this era, it was very simple. Deng Youliang specifically explained that this was not a treat, but that he, as an uncle, was receiving his nephew from afar.
, it is a commonplace meal.
Gao Fan naturally wanted to express his sincerity and fear, saying how virtuous and capable he was to allow Uncle Deng to accompany him to dinner in person.
"Your father and I have a very good relationship."
Deng Youliang took a sip of the wine, waved his chopsticks to signal Gao Fan to eat the food himself, and then said:
"Once there was an experience exchange meeting held in Lutian. Your father and I lived in the next room. Your father is a good drinker. There are several factory directors from our brother units from the north who want to compete with our factory directors from the south. You
Dad and I took over the challenge."
"Uh..." Gao Fan didn't know how to answer the question. In his impression, Gao Yiping's drinking capacity seemed to be average, and it was unlikely that he would have a drinking contest with a northerner. Maybe Lao Deng was too drunk at the time and put the others to the test.
The incident was recorded on Gao Yiping's head.
"There was another time, in your Maolin. What did you do that time?" Deng Youliang frowned and thought for a second, then gave up and continued: "Your father and I also drank once, and that time we
Both of them are drunk. Your Maolin's soju is really overbearing. It's not spicy in the mouth and is a little sweet. After a few glasses, it's over."
"Ha, my dad told me about this. When I came here this time, he originally wanted me to bring you some Maolin's soju, but he was afraid that I would spill it on the way. My dad said, when is it convenient?
The car will come over and I will bring you a jar." Gao Fan said.
The only thing Gao Yiping could recall about his dealings with Deng Youliang was that time they got drunk together. According to Gao Yiping, Deng Youliang was not a good drinker and talked nonsense when he was drunk, even kneeling on the washboard at home.
Said.
However, it was precisely because of this incident that Gao Yiping thought that Deng Youliang was someone he could date. It is said that henpecked people are kinder. For example, uh, it's better not to talk about it...
The matter of finding a hitchhiker to give Deng Youliang a jar of soju was actually made up by Gao Fan himself. He didn’t have to be afraid of getting involved, because he believed that there wouldn’t be any hitchhikers from Cangtang to Renqiao within ten years.
Promises are absolutely empty promises.
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Deng Youliang obviously also knew that what Gao Fan said was more false than true. He laughed and accepted the good intention conveyed by Gao Fan. He also said that when Gao Fan returned, he would prepare some local aquatic products from Renqiao for Gao Fan to bring.
After returning, Gao Fan naturally wanted to express his gratitude.
After making some idle gossip, Deng Youliang changed the topic and said: "Xiao Gao, I heard that your factory has come up with a new plan for ammonium-based urine conversion, which is better than the plan of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. Now it has been reported to the Ministry of Chemical Industry.
Is there such a thing?"
Gao Fan nodded: "I've heard about this."
"Also, your factory has developed a standardized management system that even our Shuinan Provincial Chemical Industry Department has sent people to study. I heard that the next step is to promote it throughout our province. Your father is also responsible for this matter.
Right?"
"Yes, during this period, my father has been busy with this matter. Otherwise, he can take time to come to Shuinan to play."
"Amazing, amazing!"
Deng Youliang raised his thumbs up and praised:
"I have long seen that your father, Director Gao, is a capable person. He was a college student before the movement, with a background in majors. Unlike me, who was born as a worker, is a rough guy and doesn't understand anything.
"Now the country advocates making the cadre team more knowledgeable and younger, and I am talking about people like your father. By the way, I heard that your provincial chemical industry department plans to transfer him to the department and give him the position of director, is that right?
"
When he said this, his eyes seemed to glance across Gao Fan's face inadvertently, observing Gao Fan's reaction.
Gao Fan thought about it, and he understood why Deng Youliang wanted to invite him to dinner. It turned out that there was this reason.
Gao Fan was just the son of the director of a brother enterprise from another province. When he came to Renqiao, Deng Youliang arranged food and lodging for him, which was already very benevolent. There was no need to condescend to treat him to a meal.
Deng Youliang did this obviously because he heard about Gao Yiping's recent deeds, and possibly even saw the report from Maolin Daily through some channel, and figured out that Gao Yiping might be promoted, so he gave Gao Fan
Such a big face.
The new ammonium-to-urinary program, coupled with a management system that the Shuinan Provincial Chemical Industry Department sent people to study, is a great achievement. Taking advantage of the current trend of young and knowledgeable cadres, Gao Yiping said
It is indeed not an exaggeration to think that it is possible to become a director of a provincial department.
The director of a provincial department, even one from a neighboring province, was completely worthy of Deng Youliang's efforts to establish a relationship. It was not difficult to treat Gao Fan to a meal. What was wrong with forming a good relationship?
"I really haven't heard my father say anything about this matter." Gao Fan said in a low-key manner, "I was busy with the college entrance examination some time ago, and I didn't pay attention to other things. Besides, my father never paid attention to work matters.
You told me, so I really don’t know about this matter.”
"That's right, you are just a child, why do you care about these things?"
Deng Youliang laughed, brushed off the matter of spying on information, pretended to be concerned, and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Gao, how did you do in the college entrance examination? Your father is a college student, so you will definitely do well. There will be no problem in getting an undergraduate degree, right?"
