After lunch, Hu Fei did not leave immediately. The two brothers played with Du Hanxiang for two hours. It was not until she got a call that she came to listen to the play that the two brothers got up and left the courtyard.
Chen Haoyang had an event in the afternoon. After lunch and a short rest, he was picked up by a car from the Jiangsu Provincial Office in Beijing.
When Hu Fei returned to the villa, he found that there were guests at home. It turned out that it was someone from the Yiyang City Liaison Office in Beijing who came to his home to pay New Year's greetings.
"Mayor, happy New Year, I wish you smooth sailing in your career and advancement."
A middle-aged man saw Hu Fei coming in and greeted him with a smile on his face, "I am Chen Youming, director of our Yiyang City Beijing Office."
"Director Chen, happy New Year."
Hu Fei smiled and shook hands with Chen Youming, "Comrades in the Beijing Office, how are you? I just got elected and haven't had time to go to the Beijing Office to take a look."
"Report to the mayor that everything in the Beijing Office is working normally."
When talking about work, the smile on Chen Youming's face suddenly faded, he quickly straightened his chest, and briefly reported on his work, then a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Mayor, comrades are all looking forward to your coming.
The Liaison Office in Beijing is conducting inspection and guidance work.”
"Okay, I'm going to entertain friends at the Beijing Office in two days. Please prepare."
Hu Fei smiled and nodded.
After seeing off Chen Youming, Hu Fei rested at home for a while and then went out with his family. Since he was thanking Lin Taiying for sending the tickets, he naturally had to take Hu Laifu, his wife and the children with him.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Hu Laifu have not been to the Jingcheng Hotel for dinner yet, so they are allowed to try something new today. Although the family is not short of money now, the two old people have always been very frugal.
Every time Hu Fei talked about going out to eat, they said it was a waste. With the money to buy the ingredients, he could cook many meals at home.
This time it was Hu Fei's treat, so the two old men had nothing to say.
When the family rushed to the Capital Hotel, Lin Taiying had already arrived. This guy was a smart man. He also brought his wife and children, as well as a beautiful young girl.
The young girl calls Lin Taiying's wife sister, so naturally she is his sister-in-law and Qian Xiaomei's friend.
The atmosphere at lunch was very good, everyone was talking and laughing. Lin Taiying's family was very polite to Hu Laifu and his wife, especially Lin Taiying's wife, who mentioned that she was less than fifty years old, and that she was in the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast.
Seeing her younger made Yu Chunlan feel extremely satisfied.
Of course, she also knew very well in her heart that the reason why others treated her this way was just because she was Hu Fei's adoptive mother.
But, so what, this is because the two of them have a good life. If they pick up a son and raise it, they can raise a big man.
After lunch, Lin Taiying's wife knew that Yu Chunlan and his wife liked to listen to Peking opera, so she immediately proposed to go and listen to the opera. Qian Xiaomei wanted to take the children back to have an early rest. Soon only Hu Fei and Lin Taiying were left at the table.
Finally getting down to business, Lin Taiying was a little nervous. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, and it seemed that he was back to the time when the organization came to talk to him many years ago.
Although he knew that Hu Fei asked him to go out for dinner, which had already explained the problem to a certain extent, but after all, this was related to his future career development, how could he not be nervous?
"Director Lin, I heard from my wife that you are not very happy working in the ministry?"
Hu Fei picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The waiter had already removed the food and wine and served them hot tea.
"That's right. Now that I'm older, my thinking is a little behind the times."
Lin Taiying sighed, "Can I be happy when my colleagues who join the company get promoted?"
"Director Lin, you are too modest. You are in your prime now. However, it may be better to change the place. Then what else do you think our country's news media is not doing well? I want to hear the truth.
"
Hu Fei chuckled, then took a sip from his tea cup. People who engage in news and publicity are naturally more prudent, the better, especially when it comes to public opinion guidance, ideology and other aspects of work.
The reason why Lin Taiying said this was that Hu Fei naturally understood his intention. He didn't have a very in-depth conversation with him on New Year's Eve. Naturally, he had a good and in-depth conversation today, at least to get to know this person through Lin Taiying's conversation.
What is the working idea?
You can't cultivate a person who is dissatisfied with the party and the government, right?
Lin Taiying's heart skipped a beat when he heard Hu Fei's question. Although Hu Fei was very young, even more than ten years younger than him, he did not dare to look down upon this young man at all.
Which of the children of the aristocratic families in the Forty-Nine Cities is as good as Hu Fei?
Moreover, Lin Taiying knew that Hu Fei really wanted to know his work ideas and his views on some events in society. Although these issues may seem lofty, in fact, they do run through life.
What's more, the Chen family is a big force in the political arena. If they want to hire people, they naturally want to hire people with correct ideas, mature and steady people, not angry young people who talk too much.
Thinking about this, Lin Taiying took a deep breath and did not answer immediately, but gathered her thoughts.
This conversation took more than an hour.
Focusing on current sensitive matters, Hu Fei comprehensively investigated Lin Taiying, from working ideas, working methods, ideological understanding, etc., it can be said that it was equivalent to him becoming an organization minister.
Through this long conversation, Hu Fei gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of Lin Taiying. Lin Taiying had no problem with his thinking, but he was relatively conservative in his working methods, which was exactly what Hu Fei wanted to see.
After all, if Lin Taiying is qualified, he will leave the Communist Party to work for one of its newspapers. If his style is too bold, too abrupt, and his ideas are unconstrained, it will not be good.
"Director Lin, if, I mean if you were asked to serve as deputy editor-in-chief or editor-in-chief of a state-owned newspaper, how would you carry out your work?"
In fact, by the end of the conversation, Hu Fei had basically recognized Lin Taiying. The reason why he raised this question was because he was paving the way for the next step.
Lin Taiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Fei's question meant that he had basically passed the test. He was now the director at the department level. It was impossible to be promoted to the deputy ministerial level rashly. The old Chen family had not tested him yet.
Ability, methods and methods of edge processing, etc., the most likely outcome is level adjustment.
If you are promoted at the department level, you should be the editor-in-chief if you go to a deputy ministerial-level newspaper; if you go to a ministerial-level newspaper, you should be the deputy editor-in-chief.
The conclusion is basically ready to come out.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
"Mayor Hu, I will obey the orders of my superiors and publish as many positive articles as possible..."
After thinking carefully, Lin Taiying began to talk.
Hu Fei picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a faint smile on his face. This Lin Taiying was indeed a very suitable talent.
This will definitely be a great help for his next plan.
