She nodded and sighed at the same time, "Understood. Okay, let's change the time, next Monday or next Tuesday. I know that there must be a lot of leaders who have invited you to dinner recently, and there will definitely be many leaders lining up to invite you next."
Anyway, I’ll tell you first, if you don’t have anything special to do, you must give me your time first.”
Now I can no longer refuse, because this is also what they want. Think about it, I have just arrived here, and as a colleague, it is very normal and inevitable for them to invite me to dinner. But I thought again, this
It should be good for me. I can get to know more people in the lower departments through this opportunity to eat, and I can also learn more about the situation.
In the evening, I went to the hotel where Director Yang of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department was hosting on time. When I arrived, I found that the two deputy directors of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department were also there, and Secretary Chen called the two deputy secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee.
Secretary Chen, of course, sat in the first place. Since I was the guest of honor today, I was assigned the seat next to Secretary Chen, followed by Minister Yang.
After everyone was seated, Minister Yang asked Secretary Chen: "We haven't ordered the wine yet. Secretary Chen, what do you think we should drink?"
Secretary Chen said with a smile: "We, Mayor Feng, are your main guests today. You have to ask him."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, please tell me. I will drink whatever you want me to drink."
Sometimes what is said at the wine table is also very important. In this case, what is said is likely to be taken more seriously by the leader, especially what is said after drinking too much. As a subordinate, you must express your attitude at any time. For leaders,
He said that what he values is the attitude of his subordinates.
I couldn't help but think of the words of the Secretary Zhang of the Medical University again: You actually want to challenge my authority?
Now I understand that the authority of a leader cannot be challenged. The authority of a leader is like a tiger's butt, which is absolutely untouchable.
But Secretary Chen said: "No, you have the final say on what to drink today, so let me delegate the power to you."
I thought to myself, since he had said what he said to such an extent, and seemed to have a deeper meaning, it would be bad if I tried to shirk or flatter him again, so I said: "Okay, since
Secretary Chen has given me the power, so I’m welcome. Secretary Liu, can we have our own winery in Shangjiang City, please?”
Secretary Liu is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, in charge of ideology. I know where he is from, so I asked him directly.
He smiled and nodded: "Yes. Our local Shangjiang liquor was very famous many years ago. But this distillery is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Alas! There are too many brands of liquor across the country now, like
No matter how good the wine in a place like ours is, it can't compete with other people's. Wine is all sold through advertising, which requires a lot of money."
I said: "Then let's drink Shangjiang Baijiu. Secretary Chen, I have an idea. Since Secretary Liu said that our Shangjiang Baijiu is of good quality, we can completely package it and make it a special wine for local official receptions."
Well. In fact, the leaders from above prefer food with local characteristics, and the same goes for wine. For leaders, what good wine and food have you not tried? What people like is specialness! And maybe this can save this country.
Where’s the winery?”
Secretary Chen immediately said: "This is a good idea! Look, I told you a long time ago that Mayor Feng has a flexible mind. Now you know it, right?"
I hurriedly said: "I just said it casually. It's hard to say whether it will work or not."
Secretary Chen said: "I think you can give this idea a try. Although the winery matter is not big, I think it may have a demonstrative effect on the reform of our city. Mayor Feng, please do some research this time.
If this matter is feasible, we should come up with a plan as soon as possible. If the winery can turn losses into profits as soon as possible through reform, it will have a great impact on a series of subsequent measures in our city. It is hard to say. "
I didn't expect that such a small episode would lead to such a big article, but after thinking about it, I think what he just said makes sense. Now we in Shangjiang City really need a demonstration project to promote reform. This is just like many years ago.
Former Shenzhen and Zhuhai have the same role in promoting national reform, and sometimes the role of demonstration fields is very huge.
At this time, a deputy director of the Organization Department said, "I have already made a call. I happen to have a few bottles of Shangjiang Baijiu that I saved in the past few years at home. I have never been willing to drink it. I would like to invite all the leaders to taste it today." Chen
Secretary, my home is right next to here, I’ll get it soon.”
It was really fast. In less than ten minutes, someone brought the wine and put it on our wine table, and at this time, all the dishes on the table were served.
The wine bottle is ugly. It is the type of glass bottle commonly used to store liquor in the past few years. However, through the glass bottle, you can see that the wine inside is light yellow in color. You can tell at a glance that this wine should be relatively mellow.
At Secretary Chen's request, the waiter brought a wine glass. Secretary Chen said: "This wine looks very good, but the packaging is too bad."
The waiter poured the wine into the wine glass. The yellow-orange color of the white wine looked really beautiful. I immediately had the urge to taste it, and I could already smell the tangy aroma of the wine.
"Well, it does look good. You must have been storing this wine for several years, right?" Secretary Chen asked the deputy minister.
The deputy minister respectfully replied: "Yes. It is very difficult to find such good wine that has been stored in cellars for several years. But this wine is really good. It is made from pure grain and the craftsmanship is okay. Just this wine,
No one is willing to sell a bottle on the market for a thousand yuan. You can fight for the money after spending it, but what about this wine? If you drink one bottle, you will lose one."
Minister Yang smiled and said: "That's just right. It's not a pity if you take it out and drink it today. First of all, you can also provide a basis for whether the winery will reform in the future. If this wine is really delicious, it can produce such a good wine.
Wouldn't it be a pity that the winery closed down? Secondly, if the winery comes back to life after reform, there will be more such wines, and your wine will not be so valuable. By then, people will no longer have the feeling that things are rare.
"
Everyone laughed and said it made sense.
Next, Secretary Chen said to Minister Yang: "You are the host today, so you say it."
Minister Yang smiled and said: "Secretary Chen, our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department is working under your leadership. I'll treat you, and you'll do the talking."
Secretary Chen smiled and said: "That's not possible. You have to do your job yourself. The three leaders of our municipal party committee are here to help you with your guests today."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, why do you still treat me as a guest? Let's drink together as a friend tonight. Don't be so polite."
Secretary Chen laughed "haha", "After all, you have just arrived. Okay, don't say more. Minister Yang, let's start in just a few words. It's hard to keep this wine in front of you without letting anyone drink it."
Everyone laughed, and the two deputy secretaries said, "Let's get started, don't make it so complicated." Then Minister Yang raised his glass and said, "Okay, let me say a few words. Today it is our municipal party committee's Organization Department's presentation to Mayor Feng.
We held a welcome dinner, and specially invited Secretary Chen and the two deputy secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee to have dinner together. We have only one purpose. We welcome our Mayor Feng to work in Shangjiang City. We hope that all leaders can provide more support in the future.
, guide the work of our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. Come, let’s toast.”
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Secretary Chen immediately said: "This is indeed good, the entrance is long and mellow. Okay! Mayor Feng, your suggestion today is good, otherwise we wouldn't have such a good taste. Haha.
!”
The deputy minister smiled and said: "Secretary Chen, is it not easy for you to drink this wine? I will go find you a box."
Secretary Chen said with a smile: "That's not necessary. Mayor Feng will go to this factory to investigate next, and then carry out reforms in this winery as soon as possible. From now on, this wine will be used as our special reception wine. I will think about it then.
Isn’t it easy to drink this wine?”
His words are actually a kind of work arrangement. Just at this wine table, a major measure related to the reform of Shangjiang City was introduced. I believe that for many people, this may be just an ordinary night.
, but for Shangjiang City, this night will definitely leave a deep memory for several people present.
Everything that happened later completely proved this point. So I often sigh: greatness is actually very simple, and maybe it begins to sprout quietly inadvertently. (To be continued)
