After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head and said to her: "Director Su, you know that I don't like this kind of thing. I accept your wishes. Thank you."
Her face turned redder, and she stood there awkwardly, a little at a loss.
I felt a little guilty, after all, I don’t want to see a lesbian like this. But I really don’t like others coming to wish me New Year greetings, especially my subordinates. So I turned around and left immediately because I was worried that I couldn’t bear it.
And change your mind.
The banquet was held very grandly in the evening. My abbot, Secretary Rong, delivered a speech, and the representative of foreign companies, Kazuo Tanaka, also spoke. His Chinese is the best, his words are correct, his speech is full of humor, and he also shows a special kind of personality.
sincere.
But we didn't drink much in the evening. An event like this is actually just to express the government's attention and concern for enterprises.
When I went to toast in the middle of the way, I asked Tanaka by the way, "It seems that you in Japan are also celebrating the Spring Festival. Why haven't you gone back?"
He told me that the current sales of family cars are very good, but there are still some problems that need to be solved in the production process. In addition, the development of new brands is also being stepped up, so he will not return to China this year.
He also told me that Japan does not attach as much importance to the Spring Festival as China does. What they attach most importance to is the Bon Festival, which is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, which is also known as the Ghost Festival in China, because the Bon Festival is the festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month.
The name of Buddhism, and Japanese people believe in Buddhism very much.
The Japanese usually have some folk activities during the Bon Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, such as the Yulan Bon Festival, the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the Ten Thousand Lantern Festival. Of course, the Japanese also celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Japanese do not eat mooncakes.
Moon dumplings are rice cakes made from glutinous rice.
"I will return to Japan for Bon Festival this year. I hope Mayor Feng will have time to go to Japan with me to visit our headquarters." He smiled and invited me.
I smiled and said to him: "Mr. Tanaka, you know that my time does not belong to me. First of all, thank you for your kind invitation. Well, please send an invitation letter to our municipal government when the time comes.
I’ll consider who to send after research. Is that okay?”
He immediately laughed, "Mayor Feng, I'm most afraid of hearing you say the words 'research, study'."
I couldn't help but laugh, but I immediately said to him seriously: "Mr. Tanaka, what you said is not completely right. At least our Jiangnan Province and our Shangjiang City are different, right? After research, we
I have given you satisfactory answers to all your questions. Don’t you think so?”
He nodded and said to me sincerely: "Yes, Mayor Feng, thank you."
I waved my hand to him and said, "No, you shouldn't thank me. You should thank our leaders in Jiangnan Province and our Secretary Rong. Of course, we should also thank you, the Japanese side. We are win-win cooperation, and both of us have a common purpose."
, that is for economic development. Therefore, the most important thing is that we understand each other and tolerate each other."
He smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, if you were in Japan, you would definitely be a very good foreign minister."
I smiled at him and said, "Mr. Tanaka, are you criticizing me? Are you criticizing me for using official language to talk to you? I am not, every word I say is sincere."
He said solemnly: "Where, I am praising you."
Immediately, we laughed at each other.
To be honest, talking to this Japanese makes me feel very tired, because I have to pay attention to the wording of every word I say. This is actually an important part of my caution, because I know very well that once there is a problem with foreign affairs discipline, other
The consequences may be more serious than others.
A dinner like this doesn't require a lot of drinking. Everyone just arrives politely. The main thing is conversation and atmosphere.
After the dinner, I returned to my apartment, took a shower and started reading.
Just when I was lying on the bed, I received a call from Li Wenwu. He asked me: "Mayor Feng, your dinner is over, right?"
He must know about the end of our dinner, after all, he is our legal person. I replied: "It's over. Is there anything you can do?"
He asked me respectfully: "Mayor Feng, do you have time now? I would like to report to you on my work."
I smiled and said, "What day is it today? You're still here to report to me? You want to come and pay me New Year's greetings, right? Together with Su Wen?"
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you are really good at predicting things. We know you don't like others to come to greet you, but we are different, right? Su Wen and I were both promoted under your care.
And you have given us so much care. It is not easy for us to disturb you on weekdays, but now is the Spring Festival, we want to come and see you, and we hope you can agree to our permission."
What he said was very reasonable, and I thought to myself that it would be too unreasonable for me to refuse again. I said, "Then come, but you are not allowed to bring expensive gifts."
He immediately said happily: "Thank you, Mayor Feng."
I hurriedly changed my clothes. They arrived soon. Li Wenwu was more generous, but Su Wen seemed a little reserved.
Fortunately, they all listened to my greetings, and all they brought me were some souvenirs. I accepted them without politeness.
I warmly asked them to sit down, and then prepared to make tea for them. At this time, Su Wen said to me: "Mayor Feng, let me do it."
I smiled at her, then went to sit opposite Li Wenwu. At this moment, I suddenly heard Su Wen asking me: "Mayor Feng, where is your tea? Where do you put it?"
Li Wenwu and I laughed immediately. I said, "It's right at the water fountain."
Li Wenwu said to me in a low voice: "She is a little nervous."
I smiled. In fact, I also knew that Su Wen must be a little nervous, after all, I rejected her during the day.
Su Wen made tea for us, and then went to sit down next to Li Wenwu. I smiled and asked them: "How did you spend this Spring Festival? How are the people at home?"
Li Wenwu replied: "Why don't we just live like that? But I haven't had much rest this year. There are too many things in the factory. The Japanese are really too serious about doing things, and they are all workaholics. I can't help it.
So I had no choice but to follow suit.”
I smiled and said: "Wen Wu, now it seems that we were absolutely right in choosing you. Secretary Chen is still very accurate in judging people. I admire him for this."
He looked at me and said, "Mayor Feng, I didn't expect you to evaluate him like this."
I said: "Actually, Secretary Chen is a very capable leader. I met him when I was the Provincial Admissions Director. At that time, he was still the mayor of Gaolou City. In fact, you may not know,
He was very suppressed when he was in the high-rise real estate market, so he became a little arrogant after we came to Shanghai.
We all have times when our egos are inflated, to varying degrees. I have also had times where I didn’t even know who I was when my ego was inflated. So, it’s not a big problem for Secretary Chen to be in that situation. But his
His personality is indeed too strong and he cannot listen to other people's opinions.
In fact, I have always respected him, and I sincerely put forward my ideas to him every time. Unfortunately, he is prejudiced against me and cannot listen to what I say. Of course, I also have some problems myself, so
There are times when I am not calm. But no matter what, his ability and level are very strong. His contribution to our Shangjiang City being what it is today is indelible.
I have said this before, and I still say it now, and I will still say it in the future. Alas! What a pity for him. For such a capable person, if he can learn a lesson, he will definitely benefit the other party if he takes charge.
For the common people. Hey!"
I spoke completely from my feelings, and what I said was true. Of course, I also estimated that the Li Wenwu in front of me might still have some contact with him. After all, he was promoted by Secretary Chen. As the saying goes, it is better to make friends than to make friends.
Finally, it would be a good thing if we could take this opportunity to alleviate the conflict between Secretary Chen and I. Even if Li Wenwu has no contact with him recently, if Li Wenwu is a smart person, he should understand my intentions.
These words of mine should be conveyed to Secretary Chen in some way or to someone else.
At this time, Su Wen said from the side: "I think he has a moral problem."
Li Wenwu said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense."
I felt embarrassed inside, but I wasn’t angry with Su Wen. She was right. In a situation like Secretary Chen’s, there would be no problem if we relied on our moral character. But things like that start from the perspective of our men.
From this perspective, it is normal. Also, Su Wen does not understand my situation. If she knew about my past things, she would definitely immediately feel that there is something wrong with my moral character and that there is a big problem.
.
I hurriedly changed the subject, "Xiao Su, you did a good job after you arrived at the Cultural Bureau, and Secretary Rong praised you. You should know that Secretary Rong will not praise someone easily. Therefore, you should work harder in the future.
Just do your job well.”
She whispered: "Yeah."
Li Wenwu said: "Mayor Feng, thank you for your concern for her. Without you, she would not have developed as well as she does now. Mayor Feng, you are really a good leader. We all respect you from the bottom of our hearts."
