"Mr. Xue, you are such a kind person." Yao Qingqing smiled, her eyes shining with a charming luster.
After the two got into the car, Yao Qingqing sat in the passenger seat and kept talking to Xue Chen. Occasionally she giggled, and her plump breasts trembled, making waves.
"Mr. Xue, what do you think about the company's layoffs?" After a while, Yao Qingqing's eyes flashed and she asked delicately.
"Employees of the company are all out to work, and they don't want to lose their jobs and have no income. In my opinion, it is natural not to lay off employees if they can." Xue Chen said.
“Mr.
Xue Chen glanced at Yao Qingqing and said in a casual tone: "However, if you secretly browse shopping websites and choose clothes and shoes during working hours, such employees will definitely not be welcomed by the company, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Yao Qingqing's expression changed slightly, she felt a little unnatural, and she vaguely agreed: "Well, yes."
Soon after this conversation, Yao Qingqing said that she was almost at her home and asked Xue Chen to stop the car.
After Yao Qingqing got out of the car, Xue Chen drove a distance and clearly saw through the rearview mirror that Yao Qingqing stopped a taxi and got into it.
"Ha..." Seeing this scene, Xue Chen shook his head, speechless.
…
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony approaches, Yunteng Auction Company becomes increasingly busy, and everyone is making serious preparations for it.
When the day came for the ribbon-cutting, colorful flags fluttered in front of Hongtong Building, two hot air balloons rose up, and a rostrum stood in the small square in front of the building. There was a red carpet in front and a tall background board behind it, with dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky.
With the words "Yunteng Auction Company Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" written in large characters, there is also a rainbow gate in the shape of a golden dragon standing in front of it.
Guests from the political, business and antique circles who attended the meeting drove there one after another and were all arranged in a large reception room on the first floor of the temporarily rented building. The celebratory flower baskets they brought were placed in front of the building.
Xue Chen, dressed in a silver-gray suit, walked among the guests, greeting some old friends one by one, standing together and talking and laughing. Those people also clasped their fists to congratulate Yunteng Auction Company on the ribbon-cutting and opening, and congratulated Xue Chen on his promotion to the position of vice president.
"Old Xue, I thought you were teasing me, but it turned out that you really became the vice president. I really admire you more and more. I really have you." Fatty Wang patted Xue Chen's arm, delighted.
said.
Qi Hu also came over and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, I have long seen that you are a dragon and a insect. Sooner or later you will take off. Sure enough, at a young age, you have served as the vice president of a subsidiary company of the Ning Group.
The future is limitless.”
"Compared with Brother Qi, I'm still far behind. I probably need to learn more about business from you. If I can build the splendid city into the largest entertainment city in Haicheng City, I think Brother Qi must have his own secrets, but I can't
It’s a secret.” Xue Chen replied with a smile.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Qi Hu laughed happily.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, an Audi A6 with a municipal party committee license plate drove up to Hongtong Building. Looking at the license plate, you could tell that it was Zhao Wangting, the deputy mayor in charge of cultural construction in Haicheng City!
Before getting out of the car, the mayor's secretary sitting in the passenger seat said to the driver: "Xiao Yang, you have to leave immediately after cutting the ribbon, because the mayor will have a very important meeting later, so don't go too far.
"
Yang Guang nodded happily and agreed: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I won't delay things."
After the car parked, Vice Mayor Zhao and his secretary got out of the car and walked towards the gate of Hongtong Building. Yang Guang stayed in the car and saw a large group of people coming out of Hongtong Building to greet Vice Mayor Zhao.
, and withdrew his gaze.
He was about to close his eyes and squint for a while when someone suddenly knocked on the car window. When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange man in a suit.
When he lowered the car window a little, the man in the suit nodded, said thank you for your hard work, and then stuffed an envelope in, and Yang Guang took it tacitly.
After the strange man left, Yang Guang opened the envelope and saw that there was exactly fifteen hundred yuan in the envelope. He nodded with satisfaction and muttered: "As expected of a subsidiary of the Ning Group, it is indeed very generous.
.”
He most likes to follow Vice Mayor Zhao to inspect work and participate in some ceremonies, because almost every time he can receive a red envelope from the organizer, sometimes three to five hundred, sometimes more than a thousand, which is a lot of money.
The leader also knew about this kind of thing, but it was just a small incident and not considered bribery at all, so he turned a blind eye and ignored it.
Yang Guang put the envelope into the inner pocket of his clothes, thinking happily that the money would be enough to go to a restaurant with his girlfriend Xiaoli for a good meal in the evening, and then go to a hotel to book a room...
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt the need to urinate, so he got out of the car, locked the door, and walked towards Hongtong Building while humming a tune, planning to use this free time to drain the water in his stomach.
When notified of Vice Mayor Zhao's arrival, Ning Jiede, Xue Chen and Xia Yike quickly walked out of the reception hall and came to the door of Hongtong Building to greet him.
"Mayor Zhao, welcome, welcome, thank you for your hard work." Ning Jiede stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Wangting.
"It's not hard work. Mr. Ning's opening of the auction company can be regarded as a contribution to the financial and cultural construction of Haicheng City. You should come and support it." Zhao Wangting said with a warm smile on his face.
"These two are the vice presidents of our auction company, Xue Chen and Xia Yike." Ning Jide turned sideways and let the two people behind him go.
Xue Chen and both of them also stepped forward to shake hands with Vice Mayor Zhao Wangting. Vice Mayor Zhao also gave a few words of encouragement: "You two young talents are very good. Our Haicheng City needs more such talents."
Naturally, the deputy mayor could not be entertained like others, but was welcomed into a separate small living room. Ning Jiede also told Xue Chen that he would entertain the mayor, and asked them to entertain other guests.
After receiving Vice Mayor Zhao, Xia Yike gave Xue Chen a cold look and walked towards the reception hall, while Xue Chen walked towards the bathroom.
When he reached the bathroom door, someone suddenly stopped him from behind.
"Xue Chen?"
Xue Chen turned around and saw Yang Guangzheng looking at him with surprise.
"Yang Guang, you're here."
Xue Chen was slightly stunned when he met Yang Guang, but soon realized that Yang Guang was the driver of Deputy Mayor Zhao, so it was not surprising that he appeared here.
Yang Guang saw Xue Chen wearing a silver-gray designer suit and his leather shoes were polished. He was surprised and said, "Are you here to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Yunteng Auction?"
Thinking that Xue Chen was an appraiser at Daxing Pawn Shop and opened an antique shop with Wang Dong, it was normal for him to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of an auction company.
"Uh." Xue Chen was startled when he heard Yang Guang ask this, realizing that he still didn't know his situation.
"You are dressed up very energetically. For those who don't know, I thought you were on a blind date today." Yang Guang joked: "Wang Dong called me a while ago and asked me to go to Cicada Temple to play. I really don't have time. You guys
How are you two doing?"
"It was a good time. The scenery is pretty good. You can also stretch your muscles by climbing the mountain, otherwise you will be rusty." Xue Chen and Yang Guang entered the bathroom together, stood in front of the urinal, and said while taking off their belts.
Yang Guang also untied his belt and said with an envious tone: "I really envy you and Fatty Wang. You can go out for a walk anytime. I can't. It depends on the leader's schedule. No, the leader will come."
If you attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, I have to come along."
"Each has its own benefits," Xue Chen said casually.
Yang Guang glanced at no one around, smiled, and whispered: "You are right. Although it is annoying for me to follow the leader here and there, it is also beneficial. Just now, someone from Yunteng Auction gave me
A red envelope for me."
"oh."
Xue Chen responded. He naturally knew about this. Anyone from the government department who was invited would receive a red envelope. This was not an unwritten rule.
"How much do you think the red envelope is?" Before Xue Chen could guess, Yang Guang said it himself, "Fifteen hundred yuan."
"One thousand and five?" Xue Chen had just put on his belt and turned to Yang Guang and asked.
Seeing the slight change in the expression on Xue Chen's face, Yang Guang thought that Xue Chen was surprised that the red envelope was huge, and felt satisfied in his heart. He said with a carefree expression: "One thousand and five dollars to make ends meet, it's not much, but it's nothing compared to
The income you and Fatty Wang make from opening an antique store can only be considered a small expense, but it is all in vain and you don’t feel bad about spending it."
The corner of Yang Guang's mouth curled up: "Sometimes I can participate in inspection activities up to three or four times a month and get more red envelopes than my monthly salary. That's so refreshing. Unfortunately, most of the time, there are only one or two opportunities every month."
…”
After meeting Xue Chen by chance at the 4S point, Xue Chen gradually realized that his old classmate was completely different from when he was in college. He had made great achievements in Haicheng City, which made Xue Chen who had always felt superior.
He felt a little disappointed.
He is a person who cares about face and does not want others to look down upon him. Once he has the opportunity, he does not mind talking about the benefits of his work to add some glory to his face.
Yang Guang didn't know that he was completely wrong. Xue Chen suddenly cared about the red envelope, not because he gave too much, but because he gave too little!
Xue Chen saw the financial expenditure list handed over by the Finance Department two days ago, and clearly remembered that it said that the red envelope that the mayor and driver should give was two thousand yuan. But Yang Guang only got one thousand five hundred yuan, less
Where did the five hundred yuan go? No need to think about it, someone must have withheld it and secretly put it into his pocket!
Five hundred yuan is not much, but there are more than twenty people from government departments who came to cut the ribbon today. According to the report, the smallest red envelope is only one thousand yuan. As long as three to five hundred are left in each red envelope, the amount will be
That's quite impressive.
Moreover, the risk of doing this is very small and it is difficult to be discovered, because once the red envelope is sent out, no one will ask the government department personnel who received the red envelope the specific amount received, and the people who received the red envelope will not spread the news themselves.
If he and Yang Guang were not friends, but happened to meet each other, and Yang Guang specifically mentioned this matter, he might never know that the red envelope had been secretly withheld! (To be continued)
