When I saw him looking at me and smiling weirdly, I immediately understood. You know, our current office building was built by his hands. In other words, he has a lot of knowledge about the construction-related situation.
It should be very familiar.
In fact, I also know some things in this area. When my company was engaged in the old city reconstruction project, the main thing I did when I was in the obstetrics and gynecology hospital was construction. But before, when I was in the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, I was doing
Those projects were executed in accordance with the bidding and bidding laws, without any behind-the-scenes operations, not to mention that the situation at that time was very special.
Not to mention the company's affairs, which are private investments, so there is no need to engage in any secret operations.
At this moment, when I looked at the strange smile of the old director, I suddenly seemed to understand: perhaps the construction of this building was not completely carried out according to the proper procedures.
However, then I found that the old director did not continue to talk to you, and he started to smoke after laughing strangely.
I seemed to understand, "Old Director, the construction of many units now cannot completely follow formal procedures. I know this. Because there are a lot of interests in it."
He sighed and said: "Yes. But I insist on one thing, that is, I will never make personal profits from it. Otherwise, I will definitely stay in prison now."
I looked at him in astonishment, "No way? This kind of thing is very common now, and usually nothing happens. Oh, old director, I have no intention of doubting you, I said
It’s just a phenomenon.”
He sighed and said: "It's complicated here. You don't know it now, but you will know it when the project is approved. I don't know how many people will come to you at that time. Leaders and friends will come to your door, and among them
The person will either have a very close relationship with you, or be a leader who is directly in charge of you, or a department head who has a very close interest relationship with our unit. In short, none of those people can be offended, but they must be considered.
Some relationships. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do my future work.”
I know this very well. When we were preparing to renovate the activity center, so many people came to say hello to me, and even Ruan Jie joined in. If I hadn't canceled the project later, I wouldn't have said it now.
Do you know what the situation is like?
I said: "Old Director, I know everything you said. This is what is going on today. Someone once said: The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider today, which is why the people are complaining, hating the rich and hating officials.
It’s getting more and more powerful. But I don’t completely agree with this sentence. I think what the people really hate is injustice. For example, this engineering matter is the most illustrative of the problem. But we have no way, it’s not what we want.
We have to do that, but we have no way not to do that. You are right, maybe the only thing we can do is not to be greedy for this. Unfair old director, I don’t want to discuss this issue with you today,
I still want to talk to you about the thing I mentioned at the beginning. I think it’s not convenient to talk about some things in the office. Why don’t we find a quiet place and talk slowly while drinking. You see
May I?"
At this moment, I really feel that such things are not suitable to be discussed in the office, because such a place will cause people to have scruples. After all, what we are going to talk about is a secret, and it still involves officialdom secrets. So, I
I think the best way is to talk about it in a relaxed and pleasant chat.
Small talk is a casual chat between friends. Such conversation is not only relaxed but also does not make people feel responsible. Of course, this requires two people to trust each other.
The old director readily agreed.
Immediately, we went to Nanyuan Restaurant. I didn't let Xiao Sui drive because I thought it would be inconvenient for him to be here today, so I asked him to give me the car keys.
I called Zhong Feng in advance and asked her to arrange a quiet seat for me. I said I wanted to talk to a friend about something private.
She is a smart woman and understood what I meant immediately, "I will arrange a separate place for you in the attic of the restaurant. It is relatively small, with a small temporary table, two soft chairs, a few dishes, and a
A bottle of wine and a pot of tea. Is that okay?"
I was very happy, "That's great. But it must be Moutai, authentic. Let me tell you, the person drinking with me today is the Jiu Xian."
She smiled and said, "Really? Then I will have to give him a test then."
I smiled and said, "Okay. But you can't delay us for too long. We have something to talk about."
This is my further hint to her: I don’t have time to talk to her about other things today, I went to her only when I had something to do.
She kept laughing, "I got it."
After hanging up the phone, the old director smiled and asked me: "You have a good relationship with the boss there. But the Moutai she sells is indeed authentic."
I said: "Old director, remember I told you that she was my former patient, right?"
The old director smiled and said: "I remember. I didn't mean anything else? I was talking about wine."
Maybe there was something wrong with me, but at this moment I suddenly felt a little unnatural.
At this time, the old director sighed and said: "Xiao Feng, I still think you and Xiao Chen are the most suitable. Not long ago, she was telling me that the place you found for her was very good and she liked it very much.
.This means that she has begun to have a crush on you. The key to the problem is that you do not take the initiative to pursue it. Of course, I understand what you are thinking. Your idea is that the age gap between you and her is too big, and also
Have you ever been married twice? In fact, you may not know that really smart girls don’t care about these factors. To be honest, she is the one I am most worried about now. Her parents left her early, and I
I really don’t want her future to be too difficult. But she is still too unrealistic and likes to fantasize too much, so I think what she needs to find most is a man who is much older than her and has a certain career and financial foundation. Only such a man can
Know how to love and cherish her."
I was a little annoyed because he had said this to me more than once. But I felt inferior in front of Chenchen and it was impossible for me to take the initiative to pursue her. Moreover, I also stubbornly believed that it was impossible for me and her to be together.
.
Of course, I knew that the old director was doing it for my own good. So, even though I was upset with his colleagues, I still felt grateful to him. I said, "Old director, please stop talking. I told you, in fact, I had already
I have met Xiaochen. This time I helped her partly because she is a friend, and partly because of you. Also, I have a lot of things going on at home recently, and my child has returned from abroad. I have nothing else to do.
My thoughts. Old director, I understand what you mean, but I think you have to respect Xiaochen’s own thoughts. She is a young girl, and her thoughts are different from yours and mine. Don’t you agree?"
He didn't answer me, but he let out a long sigh.
The place Zhong Feng arranged for us is really nice, it feels like home. But it also has the unique atmosphere of a restaurant.
Not long after we sat down, the wine and food were served, as well as a pot of Longjing.
"Director Li, please try this wine. If you can correctly judge that it has been stored in the cellar for several years, I will send you a bottle of the same wine later." As expected, Zhong Feng became the senior director of the school.
The old director smiled and said, "You must keep your word."
Zhong Feng said with a smile: "Although I am a weak woman, I always keep my word."
Immediately, the old director poured half a cup of Maotai into the wine glass in front of him. I saw that the color of the wine in the glass was light yellow, and I immediately smelled a strong fragrance wafting in the air.
The aroma of this Maotai liquor is indeed very special. It is said that Maotai became known to the world when it was served at a World Expo in the 19th century. At that time, Chinese people wearing long robes and long hair were regarded as the "sick men of East Asia".
No one showed any interest in the Moutai wine in clay pots brought by the Chinese participating in the exhibition. When the exhibition was about to end, a Chinese representative came up with a plan and pretended to accidentally drop a bottle of Moutai wine. The aroma of the wine suddenly overflowed, and the judges
I was attracted at once, and after repeated tastings, they unanimously determined that "Moutai" was the best liquor in the world, so they issued a gold medal to Moutai. From then on, Moutai became famous and soon became synonymous with famous liquor.
The old director was brought to his nose and waved a few times, as if he was smelling the smell emanating from the wine glass, and then he drank a little bit, and then smacked his lips a few times.
"This is Maotai for eight and a half years." The old director then said with a slight smile.
I thought he was joking, because I thought it was incredible. He could tell the age of the wine in just two clicks, which was only eight years. He actually tasted that half.
I think this is almost like a legendary story.
Zhong Feng also looked at him with his mouth wide open, "Director Li, you are so amazing, aren't you? This wine has really been stored in the cellar for eight and a half years. This wine was produced three and a half years ago, and Moutai was produced
It must be stored for five years, so isn’t this exactly eight and a half years?”
I was immediately surprised, "Old director, how did you know?"
The old director smiled proudly, "It all depends on feeling. I have been drinking Moutai for so many years and it has been stored in cellars for many years. I can tell the taste of each one by smelling it. It depends on experience and feeling."
I immediately had a feeling of astonishment. Zhong Feng still found it incredible, "Director Li, you are so amazing. Come on, I'll get you another bottle. Today's table of food and wine is my treat."
The old director laughed and thanked me. At this moment, I suddenly felt that Zhong Feng was deliberately looking for reasons not to let us pay the bill. Maybe the fact that the wine had been stored in the cellar for eight and a half years wasn't just that?
But now I don’t want to care about this matter. This matter is just a small episode today, and there is nothing wrong with Zhong Feng inviting us to dinner. The relationship between me and her now is very common.
