Next was the welcome dinner. In addition to the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, Provincial Government, People's Congress, and CPPCC, the attendees were also the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Government Office.
Very few of the prefecture-level cities under our jurisdiction in Jiangnan Province have general offices. Most other prefecture-level cities have offices. The Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and the provincial government have general offices. This is mainly due to the historical status of Shangjiang City.
It’s decided, after all, the title of heavy industry base here can be regarded as one of the best in the country.
Of course, the general office and the office are both at the senior level, they just have different names.
The dinner was held in the best hotel in the city. The municipal party committee office reserved the largest private room in the hotel. There were five large round tables in it. There were more than forty people attending the dinner. I didn’t expect that the main local officials
There will be so many.
Secretary Chen is sitting in the first place. On either side of him are Mayor Wen and the Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. I am under Mayor Wen. This seating arrangement is entirely based on position. Now the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has given me
One appointment: Member of the Standing Committee of the Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee, ranked behind Mayor Wen who also serves as deputy secretary.
After everyone was seated, Mayor Chen raised his glass and said: "Today is a happy day for us in Shangjiang City. Our new team is finally ready. So this glass of wine is not only a celebration, but also a tribute to Mayor Feng."
Welcome. Come, comrades, let’s drink together for a better tomorrow in Shangjiang City!”
This time he didn't say the word "whole" as boldly as he did at our private party last time.
This is how the banquet began, and the next step was to toast each other politely. Everyone first toasted to their superiors according to their own level and position, and then accepted the toasts from their subordinates.
Mayor Chen looked really happy today. He drank every glass of wine in one gulp. This speeded up everyone's drinking, and no one drank at will.
I'm very drunk.
Not long after the dinner started, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Office brought a young man to me and said, "Mayor Feng, this is Xiao Xu. He is the secretary assigned to you by our Government Office. You can try it out first. If
If you think he is not qualified, just let me know at any time."
Xiao Xu is a handsome young man, about 1.7 meters tall, with a gentle manner. I was already very satisfied with him the first time I met him. To be honest, I don't really like the kind of submissive person who works as my secretary.
.
But I still felt excited: I also have a secretary?
Since it was an occasion like this, I couldn't say much, so I just nodded to my secretary and the Secretary-General of the Government Office.
After the dinner, I was completely drunk. After everyone dispersed, secretary Xiao Xu helped me to the car and introduced the driver assigned to me by the government office.
I was really too drunk, "Send me to rest, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow. Pick me up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
This is the last thing I remember saying before I was completely drunk.
When I woke up the next morning, I found a glass of water next to my bed. After drinking it, I discovered that there was honey in it. Honey has the effect of anti-hangover, so I quickly felt much better.
Only then did I notice that the place I was staying in didn't look like a hotel.
This is a three-bedroom house with a large living room and luxurious decoration. It is fully equipped with electrical appliances and various appliances, and it looks like it was completed not long ago.
After washing up, I took out the phone and prepared to call my mother, wanting to assure her that she was safe, but I found a text message on my phone: Mayor Feng, my secretary Xiao Xu, this is my number. When you wake up,
Please call me and I will take you to have breakfast.
This guy is really spiritual, I thought happily. Then after calling my mother, I called him, "There is a canteen in the city hall, right?"
He replied: "Yes. Are you awake? Xiao Cui and I will come to pick you up right away."
I immediately hung up the phone. This is a habit. As a leader, you don’t need to talk too much about small things. Hanging up the phone shows approval. Of course, sometimes it also means anger, depending on the situation.
I took this time to look at my house and found that in addition to my bedroom, there was a study room and a guest room. There was a laptop in the study room and bookshelves. The bookshelves contained the works of Marx, Lenin, Mao Zedong and various philosophical books.
, as well as other collections of modern domestic leaders, as well as poems, songs, ancient books, etc. There are also novels, but they are all Chinese and foreign masterpieces.
I have to admit that the people in the general office are very attentive because they consider the leaders’ needs to strengthen their learning.
Among the four great classics, I like to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I can say that I never tire of reading it, because it contains all of China's military thought, and the description of the application of various strategies can be said to have reached a very high level. "Water Margin"
It's just for entertainment, and it makes people feel depressed after watching it. However, I can see the shadow of contemporary officials in Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others. I think "Journey to the West" is something for children to watch. You fight monsters along the way, and then
Everyone gets a happy ending. Some people say that it is actually written about officialdom. For example, the fairies without backstage were killed by Sun Wukong in the end, and those with backstage were protected. Thinking about it, it seems to be true. I read "Dream of Red Mansions"
I can’t go on, it’s too affectionate and delicate. I think it should be a book for women. Of course, some people say it is a partial microcosm of feudal society. I don’t think I have that level of history, so I don’t like it.
But I think the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" is very powerful. At least it has fed many people in contemporary society. Many so-called red scholars have relied on this book to feed themselves and their families. These people are better than those who rely on a song to feed themselves.
People who live their whole life are more powerful.
Xiao Xu came after about ten minutes.
I thanked him, "I drank too much last night. Thank you for helping me back."
He looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mayor Feng, don't be so polite. Several leaders were drunk last night. You are still doing well. Mayor Yin even received an infusion."
The Mayor Yin he was talking about was the deputy mayor in charge of culture and health in the city, and the only female member of the team. I was very surprised, "Does she also like to drink on weekdays?"
He shook his head and said: "She is a female leader. She doesn't drink much on weekdays. The main reason is the atmosphere last night... Haha! Mayor Wen doesn't drink much on weekdays, but he was drunk last night too.
.Mayor Feng, the main reason is that everyone is happy that you are here."
I laughed and said, "Xiao Xu, aren't you flattering me randomly? Don't flatter me randomly in the future. I don't like it."
His face turned red, "Mayor Feng, am I not trying to flatter you? Everyone is saying that you are the youngest and most knowledgeable leader in our Shangjiang City in so many years. I heard that you
I used to be the director of a hospital, and before I came here I was the director of the Provincial Admissions Office. Mayor Yin is in charge of culture and health. She must be so happy to have a leader like you and drink so much."
I seemed to understand: I am the future executive deputy mayor. What Xiao Xu meant was that Mayor Yin regarded me as a comrade, so he thought that I would strongly support her work in the future, so he drank it happily.
I drank so much wine. I felt funny in my heart: People down here always think so easily. From now on, Mayor Yin and I will each have our own work. Even if I want to support her, I have a certain degree of restraint. Besides, Yin City
The president wouldn't drink so much because of this. After all, she doesn't know me well, and how can things in officialdom be so simple?
But I know in my heart that the fundamental reason why everyone drank like that last night was the atmosphere created by Secretary Chen. You know, in a place, the municipal party committee secretary has absolute authority, and he also holds absolute power.
I asked Xiao Xu. It turns out that the place where I live is the family home of the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. This house was lent to the former executive deputy mayor by the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. After the former executive deputy mayor left, they conducted a simple transaction again.
During the renovation, some furniture and electrical appliances were also replaced.
After the National People's Congress election, I will be the next executive deputy mayor, and I will definitely be in charge of financial work, so it is normal for the bank to share the worries of the provincial government.
When I went downstairs, I discovered that the apartment I lived in was on the second floor and had been specially transformed into a separate corridor. In other words, this corridor was only used for entry and exit of my residence. This was considered from a privacy perspective.
.
My special car was already waiting below, and now I realized it was a black Audi. I drank too much last night, so I didn’t even pay attention to it, and until now, I didn’t even have the slightest impression of the driver’s appearance.
But now I can see clearly that he is also a young man, about twenty-three or four years old. Xiao Xu called me this morning and said that his surname seems to be Cui.
After I went downstairs, Xiao Cui immediately got out of the car and greeted me, "Mayor Feng, I am your driver Cui Bingkui."
I smiled at him and said, "Xiao Cui, thank you for sending me back with Xiao Xu last night. Xiao Cui, have you ever been a soldier?"
He immediately looked at me in surprise, "How do you know?"
I smiled and said, "The way you stand, you must have been in the military."
Xiao Xu introduced: "He used to be the driver of the deputy commander of our provincial garrison area, and he changed his job last year."
I thought to myself: So that’s it. It seems that the drivers assigned to me by the municipal government office are all good. Then I asked Xiao Xu: “What about you? Which school did you graduate from?”
He answered me respectfully: "I graduated from the Chinese Department of Jiangnan Normal University and was a civil servant admitted last year."
I smiled at him and said, "Great, someone will write a speech for me in the future."
Then we went to the canteen of the city hall. The canteen is on the underground floor of the city hall. Most of the space on this floor is used as a garage, and the rest is decorated as a canteen.
Xiao Xu said to me: "Breakfast in the cafeteria is one yuan, and lunch and dinner are three yuan. I will get you a meal card today. Just add money to the meal card every month."
I laughed and said, "Isn't this too cheap?"
He smiled and said: "That means charging a little for the cost of water and electricity. The workers here are paid by the municipal government office. They are temporary workers in the government. Most of the rice and vegetables are sent from the counties below, so they don't cost much."
It’s money. In addition, the general office will subsidize part of it.”
I don’t think it’s strange, because I was in a similar situation when I was recruiting students in the province. (To be continued)
