Yes, that's it. I made up my mind immediately, and then I immediately picked up my phone and called Zhuang Qing.
I thought I would need to explain it to Zhuang Qing in detail before she would agree. Unexpectedly, she agreed immediately after I briefly explained the matter.
She said: "The Jiangnan Office in Beijing has called me several times before, but I don't want to go. Feng Xiao, to be honest, I don't like to be with our officials from Jiangnan Province. But you are different, since you invite me to go
, I will definitely promise you. I said, as long as it is your matter, I will help you without hesitation."
I was deeply moved by her words, and I said: "Zhuang Qing, thank you. But the boss just wants to meet with you to talk about his plans to invest in film and television. I think you can cooperate if possible. After all,
This boss has a background. What do you think?"
She said: "Yeah. I think it doesn't matter if we meet him once."
Only then did I realize that what I just said seemed to have diluted her feelings for me, so I hurriedly said: "Zhuang Qing, what I came to Beijing to do this time is too important. If I can't do it, I will
I was laughed at, and it will also affect my future career development. Because the matter I want to handle has been submitted to the provincial government executive meeting for study and approval, and I reported it myself. Zhuang Qing, this matter is
Please help me more."
She immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, why are you so polite to me? Haven't I already promised you? Although I don't particularly want to go to the Beijing Office, but since it has been arranged there, I will
Nothing more to say."
I hurriedly said: "It means having a meal there. I asked them to help me contact them about this matter. The person I contacted was the office director there, a lesbian. By the way, Zhuang Qing, I thought about it, how about
You can call your sisters. Is that okay? Haha! I think it's safer for you. After all, I don't know the boss very well. And it's my treat tomorrow. If I drink too much, I can't control it.
It’s good to have someone to take care of you if the situation gets worse.”
She immediately laughed, "Why do I feel like I'm going to the Hongmen Banquet?"
I also laughed, "It's better to be careful. I'm not very familiar with Beijing, and the boss is the son of a ministerial official. To be honest, I don't feel at ease with a young man like that."
She smiled and said, "Okay. Let me tell them. They have a pretty good impression of you. They will definitely sell your face."
I said: "Okay then, I'll wait for you at the Jiangnan Liaison Office in Beijing tomorrow night."
The arrangements for tomorrow night's banquet went so smoothly that even I couldn't believe it myself.
However, I later found out that although Wu Shuang helped me wholeheartedly with my affairs, she was simply a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. The reason why she asked me to call Zhuang Qing was her premeditated plan. And I
What I didn't even expect was that the great changes that would happen later were also brewing from that moment on.
In fact, Wu Shuang didn't know at that time that this incident would trigger a series of events in the future, and neither did Zhuang Qing. And I didn't even know.
Therefore, I always lamented this later: It seems that many things are really controlled by God's will...
The next afternoon I went to the Jiangnan Liaison Office in Beijing very early. Of course, I had contacted Wu Shuang by phone in advance before going.
My idea is simple: since today is my treat, I must book the dinner standards in advance and communicate with Wu Shuang again.
Lin Yu called me at noon today. She told me that she had met Udon Mei. She told me: "Feng Xiao, this girl is very good, she looks very elegant, and she is beautiful."
From my conversation with her, I also felt that she is a very smart girl.”
I said: "She is indeed very smart and sensible."
She smiled and said: "Let me tell you, no wonder you are so reluctant to let go. Feng Xiao, you weren't going to marry her as your wife in the first place, were you?"
I hurriedly said: "Sister, how is this possible? I have given up on Hong Ya, so other women will not even consider it."
Her sigh was immediately heard on the phone, "Hong Ya...yes. Hey! No more."
I also felt that I should not talk about this topic, so I immediately said: "Sister, Udonmei and I are brother and sister. I met her when I was working in school. I also helped her and her family.
Something. That’s it.”
She smiled and said: "She said so herself. It's good."
I don’t need to ask anymore, because I can already feel from her words that Udonmei has agreed to this matter. At this moment, what I am most concerned about is what happens tonight. So I immediately said to Lin Yu: "Sister
, Wu Shuang has made arrangements, and I will invite Mr. Dou at the Beijing Office tonight. He is Minister Dou’s son."
She said: "You should make good arrangements for tonight. I think you have told Wu Shuang everything about the situation, right?"
I replied: "Yes."
She said: "Tell her before dinner tonight. I have already communicated her matter with the people from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee where your hometown is located, and they have basically agreed with me. Now I still need to go and give her a message."
Let’s talk to the provincial government office, and then all the procedures for her transfer will be completed as soon as possible.”
I was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sister. But I think it's better not to do it so quickly. Things on my side haven't been finalized yet. This Wu Shuang, she is completely making an exchange with me. Since it is an exchange, it must be equal."
.dont you agree?"
She said: "Your matter is only one aspect. I have asked her about it. I think it will not be a big problem if you operate it in her way. After all, this matter is big in your eyes, but it is not big in other people's eyes."
It’s not a big deal at all. Wu Shuang’s matter also involves the leadership, so it would be beneficial to resolve it as soon as possible.”
After hearing what she said, I didn't say anything more.
After arriving at the Liaison Office in Beijing, I first went to Wu Shuang's office. It suddenly occurred to me that I had told Xia Lan that I would move here, and she was likely to come for dinner tonight, so I first invited
Wu Shuang helped me get a room here. Of course, I still had a good reason. I said: "I'm worried about getting drunk tonight, so I might as well stay here. Just for one night."
She smiled and said: "No problem, it's a very simple matter. I will arrange it for you right away."
So she called a clerk and asked him to go and book a room for me right away.
I then told her what Lin Yu told me. She was very happy, "Director Feng, I won't say anything anymore. Don't worry, I will arrange everything tonight."
I said: "In addition to Zhuang Qing, there may be several celebrities from the entertainment industry coming tonight. They are all Zhuang Qing's friends. I didn't tell you this in advance because Zhuang Qing didn't tell me about it before.
thing."
She smiled and said: "Okay, that would be better. This way the atmosphere will be even better. Director Feng, who are the other celebrities coming?"
I said: "Xia Lan, Xu Ruhui, and Qu Jin. Zhuang Qing and the three of them are good sisters."
She said happily: "That's great. Director Feng, you are so awesome. You have invited so many big stars to come forward. I really admire you."
I laughed "haha", "Zhuang Qing asked me to do this. I don't have such ability. But after arriving in Beijing this time, I had dinner with them twice, so I already know them. They are all very nice."
, he doesn’t have the airs of a big star at all.”
She smiled and said, "That's just in front of you. I have to give Zhuang Qing some face, right?"
I smiled and said, "That's true. Director Wu, I would like to ask, have all the dishes been arranged for tonight?"
She smiled and asked me: "Director Feng, do you think the conditions here are a bit crude?"
I hurriedly said: "That's not true. I already discovered the last time I ate at your place that the conditions here are actually no worse than those of a five-star hotel."
She smiled and said, "Of course. Our place is originally decorated according to a five-star hotel. The second floor of our restaurant is the buffet area, and the third floor is all private rooms. You must report the name of the private room under the guidance of the waiter.
Only the name of the person who booked the room can enter, and each private room is staffed by fixed service personnel. In addition, we also have a private room on the fourth floor. This is the only private room on our entire floor. It is a dining room for high-level leaders.
It’s open to the public at will. If our director hadn’t been away recently, I wouldn’t be able to arrange this room today.”
I asked: "Is your leader not here?"
She nodded and said, "He went back to Jiangnan. He left this afternoon. The provincial government office informed him to go back for a meeting."
I smiled and said, "Maybe it has something to do with your transfer this time."
She shook her head and smiled: "I definitely didn't go back specifically for this matter. I'm not at the level where I can let him go back specifically for this matter."
I smiled and said, "I'm talking about something related, okay?"
She smiled and said: "Maybe. Director Feng, let me continue to tell you about our situation here. It's still early anyway. Haha! The main reason is that I don't want to talk about my affairs here. After all, the matter has not been finalized yet.
.Unless I see my transfer order."
I hurriedly said: "It's just a matter of time. Don't worry."
She nodded, "Director Feng, maybe you don't know much about the Liaison Office in Beijing. In fact, each province's Liaison Office in Beijing has its own high-end restaurant, and the dining conditions are quite good. For example, the Liaison Office in Beijing in Fujian
, their dishes are most famous for the authentic Buddha Jumping over the Wall, Cordyceps Grouper Fish, etc. Moreover, the best-selling liquor in the restaurants of major Beijing offices is Moutai. This is because the guests who come here recognize Moutai, and among them, Moutai has been at least 15 years old.
It costs 10,000 yuan a bottle, and ordinary Feitian Moutai costs nearly 2,000 yuan a bottle. There is also Lafite red wine, which costs about 5,000 yuan a bottle for the fourth level. In addition to our own banquets and receptions, the restaurants we run in Beijing
, we even receive banquets from state-owned enterprises and government units, because the conditions here are no less than those of a five-star hotel, but they are more low-key."
I knew she was quoting me, so I said, "It's okay. Let's prepare the food according to your highest standards tonight."
She smiled and shook her head and said: "The highest standard is not necessary, but I think it needs to be unique. Then the wine pairing should be better. In fact, the most expensive part of the banquet is the wine, don't you think so?"
I nodded, but suddenly thought of a question, "Is the Moutai you have here genuine?"
She smiled and said: "Of course. Our wine comes from Moutai Distillery. Most of the real wine from Moutai Distillery is sold to Beijing. Except for the reception wine purchased by major ministries and the army, the rest all comes to us.
The major offices in Beijing are here. You can rest assured. By the way, Director Feng, I’ll show you today’s menu. If you feel dissatisfied, we’ll change it right away.”
Then she took out a list from the drawer of her desk and handed it to me. I looked at it and found that it was the name of the dish written in pen. This must be her handwriting, because I found myself
There is something graceful about the font in front of me.
I looked at the menu in my hand and said with a "haha" smile: "Director Wu's pen calligraphy is pretty good. It's very beautiful."
She smiled and said: "I have practiced calligraphy for a while before. Director Feng, please take a look at the menu to see if it suits you."
I said, "Just make arrangements."
But I’m still taking a closer look at the dishes listed above:
Cold dishes include: braised pork belly, couple's lung slices, saliva chicken, salted duck, hot and sour fern root vermicelli, jelly;
Hot dishes include: lobster sashimi, steamed Dongxing spot, spicy abalone, deep-sea fish head with chopped pepper, fish maw with pickled pepper, boiled fish, braised beef whip, steamed mutton with rice flour, three-steamed morels, harvest, pea tips, boiled cabbage
Soup, braised Buddha jumping over the wall position, shark fin cooking with rice position, Shaozi Liao ginseng position, glutinous rice cake position, old duck soup position, fruit plate position.
At the back are the drinks indicated: one piece of 15-year-old Moutai (six bottles), one bottle of Lafite red wine, and one pack of top-quality South Beauty cigarettes.
I thought to myself: These dishes look pretty good. They include high-quality seafood and the characteristics of Jiangnan. However, this meal may cost nearly 100,000 yuan. That’s all. It’s done.
If it can't be done, it seems I have to pay for it myself. How can I have the nerve to sign for reimbursement when such a huge expense is not done?
I said: "That's right. Director Wu, you took the trouble. Thank you."
She smiled and said, "As for the wine, it is prepared here. You may not be able to drink so much."
I nodded, "Director Wu, those female celebrities like to drink red wine on weekdays, so I think we should prepare more red wine. As for white wine, if Mr. Dou likes to drink white wine, I can just drink it with him."
She nodded and said, "Okay. I'll also prepare a piece of red wine."
Then she took me to their most luxurious private room on the fifth floor. (To be continued)
