Hu Jinhai's eyes were full of admiration, he raised his thumb and said: "Master Lin, you are really amazing. Tell the truth. Mr. Jing said that you cured his waist and legs. I believe Mr. Jing will not tell lies, but I
I just don’t understand how you managed it. Now look at Master Lin’s real skill in small things. I’m convinced. I’m completely convinced.”
Jing Mingming smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, Chinese civilization has a long history and is unfathomable. Everything handed down is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients for hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years. Of course, these crystallizations of wisdom
It takes hard work for future generations to understand and master it. How many people in various fields are there who can truly understand true kung fu like Master Lin?"
Hu Jinhai sighed: "Yes, the good things left by our ancestors are the envy of any nation in the world. Both materially and spiritually, they are of a massive level. Unfortunately, our descendants are in
For a period of time, I regarded the essence of this culture as a spiritual dross that was out of date with the times. Not to mention others, wasn’t it just me who had doubts about Chinese medicine?”
Jing Mingming also sighed: "To be honest, even though we people have achieved great success in business, the real backbone of China is Master Lin who inherits the essence of Chinese civilization. It is a pity that such masters now
There are too few people of this level."
Lin Yuan was about to be humble when Jing Mingming suddenly remembered something and asked: "Master Lin, didn't you say you have something to do with me? Tell me, what is it?"
"Mr. Jing, Song Xiaomeng and I are planning to hold an engagement ceremony. I wonder if we can hold it here at the Bronze Hotel."
"Haha, congratulations, Master Lin. If you don't hold such a big event like an engagement ceremony in my Bronze Hotel, you're obviously looking down on me. By the way, how many people are coming to attend? I'll make some plans. You just need to tell me the number of people.
, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Before Lin Yuan could speak, Hu Jinhai said: "Mr. Jing, you are not being kind. My Hu's Haitai may not be worse than your big hotel, but Master Lin has booked your place, so I will
It's not easy to argue. In this way, can we supply the seafood? Mr. Jing, don't argue, I know you are not short of these things, but can I please express my respect?"
Jing Mingming laughed: "Okay, okay, I can save a lot of money this way. Master Lin, you must have people from your hometown, right? When you arrive in Yanjing, we will be responsible for the reception, and you can take care of what you have to deal with."
Is things good?"
It's really a professional service, everything is very thoughtful. However, Lin Yuan really can't estimate how many people will come, and until now, he still doesn't know how to invite.
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that there was one more thing to explain: "Mr. Jing, it's like this. My wedding is a little hasty this time. It's because of my future father-in-law. To be precise, Secretary Song, you should know. Secretary Song
He is about to be promoted to Yanjing, but he still has to arrange his work below, so he is in such a hurry. There must be a lot of officials coming, and I know your rules, so..."
Jing Mingming smiled and said: "It's okay. I've always been reluctant to deal with officials. However, I also have many official friends. Master Lin, the fact that you can work here shows that you think highly of me. Everyone has friends."
, all kinds of friends, I may not like your friends, but I will definitely sincerely entertain friends like you, Master Lin."
Lin Yuan was a little moved. Jing Mingming's words were so straightforward. This man was really open-minded. No matter what he said, he said it openly and never hid it.
It can be said that such magnanimity is rare not to mention among businessmen, even at the Chinese level as a whole.
"Mr. Jing, since you said that, you really treat me as a friend. I just have something to ask you. I have a lot of friends, and they are all over the country. I don't know that there is such a thing as an engagement.
Who should be invited?”
Jing Mingming thought for a while and said: "Master Lin, this matter is not that simple. After the engagement, there will be a wedding. I would like to ask, what form will your wedding take and where will it be held?"
Lin Yuan really didn't think that far. He thought for a while and said: "If you get engaged or married here in Yanjing, you must do things in your hometown. Otherwise, your relatives and friends in your hometown will not be able to explain it to you."
Jing Mingming nodded and said: "Since you have considered it this way, it will be much easier to handle. When you get married, you should take care of your relatives and friends in your hometown. If it is inconvenient for you to travel to Yanjing, make a phone call to explain the reasons and express your gratitude.
It’s fine to have a banquet when you’re getting married. But when you’re getting engaged, you should also pay attention to this and consider the location first.”
"Mr. Jing, do you mean that if you invite friends around Yanjing, all friends from other areas will be invited at the wedding?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Although I am very disgusted with big banquets, it is undeniable that inviting relatives and friends at important moments in life is the best time to communicate and exchange ideas. Master Lin, with all due respect, is your future father-in-law, right?
Do you also want to invite some friends to your daughter’s engagement party?”
Lin Yuan felt his face heat up. He said, "Yes, that's why I feel a little abrupt. I know Mr. Jing's personality, so I will discuss it with you."
"Haha, Master Lin, you don't have to take it seriously. Sometimes private matters are public matters. The so-called distinction between public and private matters is theoretically possible, but in practice, if you really distinguish between public and private matters, you probably won't have many true friends.
Therefore, this time, we must not only consider your friends, but also pay attention to your friends from the Song family, so that the context of the engagement arrangement will be revealed."
"Mr. Jing, I really don't understand something. Could you please explain it a little more clearly?"
In fact, it's not that Lin Yuan doesn't understand, it's just that he is obsessed with the authorities and is about to get engaged to Song Xiaomeng. He is naturally very excited. To be honest, he doesn't have the heart to think so much. He might as well ask Jing Mingming to get an idea.
"When you get married and have a banquet in your hometown, the main thing you take care of are your relatives and friends, and these people are the main ones. But in Yanjing, all considerations are comprehensive, and the interests of all the close relatives involved must be the main starting point. So.
, when you serve wine in Yanjing, you have to pay attention to your interests, but when you serve wine in your hometown, you focus on feelings. Master Lin, please forgive me for speaking so bluntly."
I have to say that Jing Mingming's analysis is just as he said, too straightforward. Lin Yuan thought about it carefully and found that Jing Mingming's view is indeed a wise one. Private matters are public matters. What is right and wrong is public for private reasons and private for public reasons.
, can it be explained clearly in one or two sentences?
And when the time comes for his hometown, Lin Yuan really doesn’t want to invite too many people, mainly some relatives and close friends, and others will be exempted.
Jing Mingming's words are actually a profound summary of China's handling of public and private matters. He would not say such words unless in front of true friends.
"Mr. Jing, I understand. I agree with your advice. I will also follow this principle to determine my invitation list."
Lin Yuan thought that the people he invited would definitely meet Jing Mingming, so he did not shy away from Jing Mingming and listed out the list of people he thought of one by one.
The friends involved in Yanjing, such as Jiang Xin and Liu Jinlin, all have relationships established through handling specific cases. They are like comrades who have shouldered guns together and are invited to do anything.
In addition, Lin Yuan wanted to invite a boss-level figure like Ji Wanglou, but he was afraid that his status was not enough. If not, he was really helpful, and Lin Yuan felt very embarrassed.
Jing Mingming gave him an idea. He could explain it to the other party by referring to the work report. While explaining his engagement, he expressed his gratitude to the other party for his long-term help. Finally, he pointed out the most important sentence, that is, I hope you
Take time out of your busy schedule to take a look. If you are too busy, be sure to bring your wife to visit you when you have time.
After hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the ancients said that all knowledge in the world is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings comes from articles. When it comes to dealing with sophistication of people, the Chinese are indeed world-class. Some things may seem like red tape, but for interpersonal relationships
Maintenance does have considerable benefits.
Jing Mingming told Lin Yuan some details, and Hu Jinhai also made a lot of suggestions. After listening to the suggestions of the two experts, Lin Yuan finally felt confident.
When they arrived at Song's house, Lin Yuan reported everything Jing Mingming told him to Mr. Song and Song Fangcheng.
Mr. Song smiled and said: "This Jing Mingming is really insightful. He has thought so well about the kid's engagement."
Song Fangcheng nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Jing, if he enters politics, his future is limitless. It's a pity that everyone has his own ambitions. There is a bright star in the business world, but there is a lack of a wise official in the political world."
Mr. Song snorted, glanced sideways at Lin Yuan and said, "Don't we all have our own ambitions? If we didn't have our own ambitions, how could I be so opportunistic with Jing Mingming?"
Lin Yuan knew that Mr. Song was still bitter about rejecting the invitation from the security department because of him. He understood the old man's thoughts. It was simply unthinkable to refuse such a good opportunity.
Song Fangcheng also learned about Lin Yuan's rejection from Mr. Song. He felt pity in his heart, but he still supported Lin Yuan. Seeing Lin Yuan's embarrassment, he said, "Dad, didn't Director Jiang say that? The door will always be open to Xiao Lin.
As long as he is willing, he can join the staff at any time, and there is no need to get so angry about this matter."
Mr. Song waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I have seen it clearly. I am an old man and I can probably subdue you now. I can't control these little bastards like my grandchildren for a few more days."
"Dad, don't say that. We all respect you from the bottom of our hearts. Look, who else am I going to invite?" Song Fangcheng quickly changed the subject.
"There cannot be fewer leaders in the Ministry of Commerce. They are all your superiors and colleagues. You can call your colleagues and friends below and ask them when you hand over the work when you get back. There shouldn't be any problem."
Lin Yuan waited for Mr. Song and Song Fangcheng to talk before interjecting: "Grandpa, Uncle Song, how many people can we be sure about? Mr. Jing wants to count the number of people so that he can make a reception plan."
