A few days later, I received a call from Governor Huang’s secretary, “Governor Huang invites you to have a meal at his house today. I want you to go alone.”
I don’t know what Governor Huang’s purpose was for asking his secretary to call, but I vaguely felt that it was not entirely a private matter. Because he called me through his own secretary, which means that this matter
The matter was at least more or less official. Of course, there must also be private matters. Otherwise, why would you invite me to his home?
Of course I had to go as ordered. But I couldn't go empty-handed. After all, I was going to his home, not his office. This didn't mean that he needed me to give him something. This was the minimum etiquette.
I thought about it and then called the Secretary-General of the General Office, "I'm going to report to Governor Huang in the province tonight. I have to bring something with me. Take a look at the fresh soil in our Shangjiang City this season."
Are there any good specialties?”
I did this on purpose, because I wanted to spread my request to Governor Huang through the person in front of me. Sometimes it is good to be a little more high-profile, especially in my current situation, I do this
At least it can make some people afraid to act rashly against me.
I really don’t want to cause trouble for myself. In the final analysis, this is a way to avoid trouble. It is good for a person to have a background, but the most important thing is to be good at using your own advantages. Especially at this time.
, it is better to remind some people in this way.
Since many people know about my background, it doesn't matter if I take advantage of it at this time. Of course, I will not use a high-minded way of talking. That way is too weak and stupid.
The secretary-general in front of me was stunned for a moment and then answered me: "Social products? Mayor Feng, where can I find any fresh local products in this season?"
I looked at him and smiled, "You are the chief of staff of the city government. You should be able to solve such a matter, right? What's more, you are a local."
He frowned and thought for a moment, "Yes! We have cured wild boar meat here. Mayor Feng, is this okay for you?"
I looked at him, "Is there any packaging?"
He nodded, "The packaging is simple."
I said, "Go ahead and get ready. Put the things in Xiao Cui's car within an hour. I'll pay for it myself."
He hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, our general office is responsible for such things, and you don't need to pay."
I waved to him and said, "Don't say anything more about what I said. This is my private matter, and it is not appropriate for the office to pay for it."
But he still said: "But other leaders deal with it this way..."
I said calmly: "I don't care what other leaders do. I am me. Let's do it as soon as possible. By the way, you can get some vegetables without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Pack them too."
Then he left in a hurry.
In fact, this person is considered a relatively smart type of person. He should understand: the simpler and less valuable the things I give to the leader, the more it means that the relationship between me and him is extraordinary.
The information I need to convey is enough, not to mention that I need such a thing in the first place.
I got off work an hour early that day and postponed one of the meetings to the next morning. In fact, as municipal leaders, our time is relatively free.
As before, I asked Xiao Cui to take me home, and then I drove myself to Governor Huang. I asked Xiao Cui to eat at my house because I wanted to rush back to Shangjiang today. The Standing Committee was absent last time
Things still make me feel uneasy. What if tomorrow there is another important meeting out of the blue like last time?
I parked the car in front of Governor Huang's villa and knocked on the door. The door opened, and what appeared in front of me was Udon Mei's beautiful face. But I found that she seemed to have become a little fatter.
"Is Governor Huang back?" I asked, my voice a little loud.
She glanced at me, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, but soon the trace of resentment disappeared, and she answered me: "I'm back. In the study room upstairs."
I nodded, "I'll go get something from the car."
She said hurriedly: "Let me get it for you."
I said, "No need. It's very light."
Then I turned around and went to the trunk of the car, opened the trunk, took out things from it, and then went into the villa. At this time, Governor Huang was coming down from upstairs. He looked at the things in my hand and smiled immediately.
, "What are you doing?"
My right hand was carrying wild boar meat and cured meat, packed in a beautiful carton, and my left hand was a beautiful vegetable basket with some fresh vegetables in it. I smiled and replied: "These are all the things we went to the river for."
Pure natural green food. It came in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to prepare other things.”
He came to me, looked at the things in the vegetable basket, and immediately laughed "haha", "Good thing, these vegetables still have insect eyes. This means that these vegetables have not been sprayed with pesticides. That's great. Things like this are now
It’s hard to eat. Hey! Sometimes I just don’t understand. Do you think today’s society has progressed or regressed? It’s difficult to even take a bite of fresh and environmentally friendly vegetables.”
I smiled and said, "Yes. People nowadays are too irritable. Even the farmers who grow vegetables are irritable. If we want to increase the yield, we can only apply chemical fertilizers and spray pesticides."
He laughed, and then said to Udon Mei: "Go and wash these vegetables quickly, and we will eat them tonight."
At this moment, I suddenly felt that Governor Huang was like an elder, because his words lacked the tone of a lot of officials. Even in the few chats we just had, his words were completely like those of a parent, both in content and demeanor.
More like a kind elder among relatives and friends.
Immediately, he took me to his study. When I entered, I found that he had already made a pot of tea and two teacups were placed there. The fragrance of tea was wafting in the study, which made it still feel cool.
The season is getting a little warmer.
He poured me a cup of tea, then looked at me with a smile, "Try it, how do you like this tea?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Governor Huang, I don't have much research on tea. But I smelled its fragrance as soon as I came in. This must be good tea." Then I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said:
"It seems to be Longjing."
He immediately laughed, "You said you don't understand tea, but this is Longjing. But this is not an ordinary Longjing, it is tea leaves picked from the mother tree of Longjing."
I hurriedly said: "How precious is this tea? Thank you, I really have a good taste today. In fact, I can't taste the taste of other teas, but this Longjing tea is different. It has a certain taste after drinking it.
The special aftertaste is a hint of sweetness.”
He smiled and nodded: "Yes. This tea was given to me by an old classmate of mine. In fact, no matter how good the tea is, it is only for drinking. Drinking it can reflect its value. If it is placed there
, then its true value will not be reflected.”
I smiled and said, "You are right. It is just like the clothes in the wardrobe. If it is not worn by a beautiful woman, its value will not be reflected at all."
He laughed and said, "Your metaphor is very interesting. In fact, it is just like a cadre. No matter how powerful he is, if he is not put in the right position, his value will not be reflected. That's right.
A waste."
My heart suddenly moved: Could it be that he called me here today because of my affairs? Thinking of this, I suddenly felt excited. In fact, what I hope most now is to be transferred away from Shangjiang. I don’t want to be there anymore.
A place like that was involved in some fights. (To be continued)
