I really didn't expect that Mr. Song would be so generous in handling things. I was angry, but he was unambiguous in starting things, which was equivalent to solving all the major family issues together.
Lin Yuan and Song Xiaomeng didn't say anything, but Song Xiaojia still looked like a living treasure and said loudly: "What's there to say? Isn't this the matter between Lian Fei and me? I'm very busy these days.
Just like a grandson, Zhang Lianfei hasn’t even pursued me seriously yet, so I’m going to get married like this?”
When Song Fangcheng saw Mr. Song's unhappy face, he quickly shouted: "What are you talking about? When did it become your turn to intervene in the matters decided by the adults?"
When Song Xiaomeng saw that something was wrong, she quickly took a mouthful of vegetables and blocked Song Xiaojia's mouth: "Let's eat, just thank Lian Fei. If you know the truth, who wouldn't hide away when he sees you? Lian Fei doesn't mind it either.
, otherwise, you will have to stay at home."
Song Xiaojia was interrupted for a moment and noticed her grandfather's face. How could she dare to talk anymore? She quickly lowered her head to eat, not daring to speak anymore.
After eating, Mr. Song left Song Fangcheng and Lin Yuan behind and asked everyone else to go out.
When Lin Yuan was at the banquet, he was scolded by Mr. Song and had no chance to speak. Now he finally seized the opportunity and quickly congratulated Song Fangcheng: "Uncle Song, congratulations on your promotion."
"Haha, Xiaolin, it's not a big deal. It's all about work. It's the same everywhere. Now it's not like when I was young and full of energy. I always try to be positive in everything. You are still young, so don't learn from me.
." Song Fangcheng said slightly modestly.
Mr. Song didn't allow Lin Yuan to speak and interrupted: "Fang Cheng, your promotion this time is beyond my expectation. According to my calculations, it should take another two or three years for you to come up. Who knew you would be promoted so soon?"
was caught up.”
Song Fangcheng nodded and said: "Dad, this matter also feels very sudden to me. I have the same idea as you. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Do you know?"
As he spoke, Song Fangcheng glanced at Lin Yuan intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Yuan knew that there were some things that were not convenient for too many people to know. Even if it was his biological son, there was no need to know what he shouldn't know. Lin Yuan was very sensible, so he stood up and resigned.
Mr. Song waved his hand and said, "Boy, sit down. I'll keep you here. I'm not afraid of you knowing."
What happened tonight made Song Fangcheng feel that his sense of the world of officialdom was wrong? What he and Mr. Song talked about were relatively sensitive topics.
The less people know about such a conversation, the better. This does not mean that Lin Yuan is not trusted, but in Song Fangcheng's eyes, Lin Yuan is just a child. It is not necessarily a good thing for children to hear sensitive words.
But Mr. Song actually asked Lin Yuan to stay. I really don’t know what Mr. Song’s plan was.
Mr. Song said: "Fang Cheng, I inquired about the background of your promotion. It is the result of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Commerce who will be retiring within the year. Well, the water here is too deep. I asked you to come back. In fact, there are some
I have to tell you the matter face to face."
Song Fangcheng was stunned. He also had many friends in Yanjing. Of course he would inquire about his promotion. According to his friends, this was the result of a comprehensive evaluation conducted by the Personnel Department, and Minister Liu resigned internally.
factors, but the key factor is to take into account the comprehensive qualities of the candidates before making the final decision.
In fact, when it comes to the transfer of officials at this level, it is no longer just a question of whether the performance is good or bad. Various complex factors will be mixed in.
Generally speaking, as soon as the news spreads about any position on the top, qualified people will start to work, fighting openly and secretly to win it.
The news that Minister Liu of the Ministry of Commerce is retiring has long been spread to the lower levels. Although there is no need to worry about the people below this position, if there is a promotion within the Ministry of Commerce, new positions will inevitably be vacated. These vacated positions are from below
People have to fight for it.
Compared with other competitors with the same conditions, Song Fangcheng felt that his qualifications were not enough, so he did not pay much attention. Unexpectedly, the final candidate determined by the Ministry of Commerce was Song Fangcheng, who had not done much business.
When the results came out, his jaw dropped. Song Fangcheng didn't work for his job, so he didn't owe any favors. But when the news of the promotion came, Song Fangcheng had to ask his friends in the capital to find out who the key person was.
Helped.
After checking again and again, Song Fangcheng himself didn't believe it, and it was still the official saying that he was the best candidate according to the comprehensive evaluation.
This matter came to Mr. Song's ears, and of course he was concerned. Through looking for connections, he found out that the personnel adjustment of the Ministry of Commerce had far-reaching considerations.
Everyone knows that China's business has entered an unprecedented era of development. Therefore, more and more business negotiations are involved, and the international situation we face is becoming more and more complex.
The key position of the Ministry of Commerce is very hot and hot. Song Fangcheng's economic performance in Jiangzhou Province was rated as the best, so Song Fangcheng was mentioned to this position.
It should be said that there are many people eyeing this position, but because the selection of personnel by the Ministry of Commerce is based on future business expansion, after a comprehensive evaluation, the Organization Department withstood the pressure and promoted Song Fangcheng.
Although the minister of the Ministry of Commerce is also a minister in terms of rank, on the surface he does not even have the status of being the number one provincial committee member of a province. However, the previous minister of commerce was a member of the Politburo, and in terms of rank he was a deputy.
At the national level, when Song Fangcheng arrives at the Ministry of Commerce, he should also join the Politburo. Otherwise, if a provincial party committee member arrives at the Ministry of Commerce on the 1st, it does not appear to be a promotion on the surface, but may even mean a demotion.
Lin Yuan secretly smiled bitterly. He couldn't say anything about such a thing. He didn't know what Mr. Song meant by leaving him behind.
Making suggestions? If these people who have been struggling in the officialdom for decades would stretch out their legs and trip you up, you might not be able to get up for the rest of your life.
Listen and learn experience? Mr. Song knows that Lin Yuan has no interest in this area.
Song Fangcheng pondered: "Dad, you said the water here is very deep, what do you mean?"
"Well, in the officialdom, there are only two words: stepping on and climbing. In the future, officials of the Ministry of Commerce will have an increasingly important position in national institutions, and can even compete with large departments like the Ministry of Public Security. Therefore, internal matters will not
Missed. Do you still remember the Lu Jiayi I told you?"
Song Fangcheng looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Is that the person who was caught by Lin Yuan's cooperation? You mentioned to me that he is from the Lu family. If there are no accidents, with Lu Jiayi's performance, he should enter the Ministry of Commerce
Yes, the future is limitless."
"When I said the water here is very deep, I was referring to this. Fang Cheng, as I said before, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Especially for departments like the Ministry of Commerce, the risks are very high. Once someone
It’s really hard to say that I’m plotting against you.”
Song Fangcheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, do you mean to prepare for a rainy day and prepare the relationship first?"
"Well, that's what I mean. But, haha, you and I don't have as much face as I do now."
"What?" Song Fangcheng was completely shocked by a series of things tonight. He has been in politics for so many years, what kind of storms has he not seen? Is there anything else that cannot be settled in Mr. Song's relationship? Now, Mr. Song actually says that the most important thing is to save face.
It’s Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan was also confused. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. What could he have to do with a plain-headed commoner?
Mr. Song said calmly: "Fang Cheng, prepare for the engagement ceremony between Xiaomeng and Lin Yuan. Boy, I have decided on the location, it will be at the Bronze Hotel."
Lin Yuan was suddenly shocked. Could it be that Mr. Song was interested in Jing Mingming's relationship? Jing Mingming may not have a great influence on other departments, but for the Ministry of Commerce, his influence is definitely super strong.
Song Fangcheng also thought of this in an instant and said: "Dad, are you related to Mr. Jing Mingming? I have met this man several times, but he is low-key on the surface, but in fact he is a bit arrogant. He is not very popular with officials and businessmen.
If you are of high quality, you won’t talk much at all. The Bronze Hotel is not something you can book just because you have money.”
"Haha, you can't do it, I can't do it, but this kid can do it. They gave Jing Mingming a chance to cure his paralysis, and Jing Mingming simply worshiped Lin Yuan. The marriage of Old Man Yun's grandson Ji Kaiyang and Meng Xinhan of the Meng family
, Xiaolin asked Jing Mingming, and he immediately helped with the matter. Tell me, does this kid have a lot of face? "
Song Fangcheng glanced at Lin Yuan again, but this time, he looked with a little shock.
Being able to talk to Jing Mingming is a big deal, and he can actually ask Jing Mingming to help him with things. In Yanjing, there are almost only a handful of people who can ask Jing Mingming to help him with things.
Lin Yuan said embarrassedly: "Grandpa, please don't laugh at me. I know I was a little arrogant when I refused Jiang Bureau a few days ago. I regretted it afterwards. I admit my mistakes, isn't it okay?"
Song Lao waved his hands and said: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't do it. I know that you are born with a thin skin, and you can't shame it if you ask Jing Mingming. You and Xiaomeng are engaged, so it shouldn't be a problem to hold a banquet there.
Bar?"
"No problem, but I think I still need to talk to Mr. Jing first."
"Well, it should be. Fang Cheng can also be regarded as your future... the word "future" should be removed, that is, father-in-law. It is only natural for father-in-law to attend his daughter's engagement ceremony. In addition, your friends should also come to support you, right?"
Song Fangcheng fully understood that everything arranged by his father had really been taken into consideration. Firstly, Lin Yuan and Song Xiaomeng's wedding should indeed have an engagement ceremony. Secondly, at the engagement ceremony
To build momentum, to put it bluntly, one is to make the newcomers look good, and the other is to show the power of the family.
Sophisticated and calculating, Song Fangcheng can only describe his father in this way. It seems that working hard for several decades is not in vain. Only a veteran in officialdom like Mr. Song can comprehensively consider the interests of everyone and then pass
One outstanding thing connects them together.
Everything is so natural. Everything arranged by Mr. Song is equivalent to silently showing off the muscles of the Song family. This has an extremely positive impact on Song Fangcheng's future development.
