Volume 3 High Officials_1628 Moisturizing Things 3
The government canteen in Yiyang City is much larger than the canteen in Wuling City, mainly because the number of government staff here is much larger. After all, the population of Yiyang City is much larger than that of Wuling City.
There are many people eating in the canteen, and government workers are subsidized for lunch. Generally speaking, you only need to spend one or two yuan on a meal, and the rest is subsidized by the city's finances.
For many people, a good lunch with fruits, and they only need to pay one or two yuan, is naturally a very cost-effective deal. Therefore, most people will choose to have lunch in the canteen.
"Look, is that our new mayor?"
"Oh my God, the mayor actually came to the cafeteria to eat. He's not here to inspect the work, is he?"
"Inspection is a shitty job. I'm off work now. I must be here for dinner at this time."
"The mayor also needs to eat, okay? Doesn't Mayor Chen eat in the cafeteria in Beijing?"
"That's because he is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Look at which of the Standing Committee members comes here to eat. They either go to the Tianlong Hotel to eat, or go home to eat. Who comes to the agency canteen?"
"It seems like the food in our canteen will be much improved in the future."
"Well, it's very possible, but it's definitely too late today. The mayor is going to launch a surprise attack.
Seeing Hu Fei walking into the canteen, many people who were eating started talking.
The layout of the agency canteen is basically the same, and Ding Cong also introduced a few words about the situation of the agency canteen to Hu Fei, so Hu Fei went straight to the second floor.
However, what surprised Hu Fei was that the restaurant on the second floor was very simple, and there were no dedicated waiters to serve it.
Of course, this can only mean that the leaders of the municipal party committee rarely come here to eat, and may even have never come here at all, which is why the canteen is so careless.
As soon as Hu Fei reached the second floor, the manager of the cafeteria hurried over.
"Hello, mayor, I am Zhao Liang, the manager of the canteen, why are you here?"
"Hello, Comrade Zhao Liang, I'm here to eat."
Hu Fei chuckled and shook hands with Zhao Liang, "Don't be nervous, I just don't have anywhere to eat. Come over for lunch. By the way, what do you have to eat here?"
"Mayor, we can make whatever you want to eat, right away!"
Zhao Liang nodded hurriedly, "If the canteen can't make it, I'll send someone to buy it right away."
"It doesn't have to be so complicated. It's just a meal. Is there any need to go through such trouble?"
Hu Fei shook his head, "Let's do this. You ask the chef to make a few special dishes for me to try. I may have to eat here often in the future, so don't make such a fuss."
"Okay, mayor, I'll ask the chef to do it right away."
Zhao Liang nodded excitedly.
"By the way, Mayor Chen Quan of the city government often comes to the cafeteria to eat, right? Which room is he in?"
Hu Fei nodded and glanced at several rooms.
"In room 203, I'm going to report to Mayor Chen."
Zhao Liang was stunned. Did Hu Fei have a good relationship with Chen Quan? Otherwise, how would he know that Chen Quan was eating here?
"No, please take me to find him. The food will be delivered to Mayor Chen's room later. The two tables will be together."
Hu Fei shook his hand.
In fact, there was such a big commotion upstairs, so Chen Quan couldn't help but come out to see the commotion. Moreover, he knew without thinking that it was Hu Fei who came to the cafeteria to eat.
Other leaders of the municipal party committee usually either go home to eat or eat at the Tianlong Hotel, which is the reception unit of the municipal party committee. They spend a lot of money on reception every year, so it is not free of charge.
An ordinary deputy mayor would definitely not make such a big move, and his deputy mayor is the most obvious example.
The most urgent thing for Hu Fei now is not to take over the job immediately, but to establish himself in Yiyang's officialdom as quickly as possible. Although the provincial party committee trusts him, he still needs to be able to establish himself in Yiyang.
What the Provincial Party Committee needs is a mayor who can change the current situation in Yiyang, not a mouthpiece for the Provincial Party Committee. Otherwise, there will be many people vying for this seat.
On the surface, it is just a small thing for Hu Fei to come to the government canteen to eat, but in comparison, this matter is not trivial. Other members of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee were eating and drinking at the Tianlong Hotel, but Hu Fei was dining in the government canteen.
In comparison, Hu Fei's difference is even more highlighted.
First of all, he should establish a clear personal image in the municipal party committee compound, being honest, kind, not condescending, etc. Once Hu Fei establishes such an image in the hearts of civil servants, his image will soon be spread through the mouths of civil servants.
Sure enough, Hu Fei is much more powerful than him, he moisturizes things silently!
Chen Quan sighed secretly in his heart.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Liang's voice rang out, "Mayor Chen, hello, the mayor has come to the cafeteria for dinner."
Chen Quan quickly walked over and opened the door. He saw Zhao Liang standing at the door and Hu Fei standing behind Zhao Liang. He immediately nodded to Hu Fei and said, "Mayor, are you coming to the cafeteria to eat too?"
"Yeah, I'm eating alone anyway, so I'm too lazy to run away. It's close here."
Hu Fei nodded and walked in, "Manager Zhao, go ahead and do your work. My food will be delivered here in a while."
"The two leaders will chat slowly, and I will go to the kitchen to urge you."
Zhao Liang nodded and quickly walked out, closing the door behind him.
"Mayor, why did you come to the cafeteria to eat? Aren't the Standing Committee members all eating at the Tianlong Hotel?"
Chen Quan took out a cigarette and handed it to Hu Fei, sighing, "Now I feel more and more that being an official is good. Now the city's finances are so holed up. The leaders' reception expenses are not small. It's really great."
So many official receptions?”
Hu Fei sighed secretly in his heart. It could be seen that Chen Quan had a lot of dissatisfaction with Yiyang's officialdom, but this was also a reasonable thing. The illegal fund-raising case also involved him, so he couldn't just sit back and watch.
Of course, I hope that the city can save every penny and fill this hole as soon as possible, and Chen Quan can breathe a sigh of relief.
But in the eyes of those municipal party committee leaders, what else can they do if such a big hole can no longer be filled? They can live their lives as they please. Besides, what can be done with such a small amount of reception funds saved?
"Old Chen, you still think you are a patriotic and angry young man even at your age."
Hu Fei chuckled and shook his head, "This is not a phenomenon unique to Yiyang City. It is like this in the whole province and even the whole country. Which place is not like this?"
"Okay, let's eat. Accompany me to take a look at Nantian Group in the afternoon. I want to meet Nan Batian, who is famous in Yiyang!"
Hu Fei flicked the cigarette ashes, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
