When the waitress heard that she wanted to buy Cordyceps sinensis, she beamed with joy: "Which Cordyceps sinensis do you want to buy? Is it more affordable or more expensive?"
Lu Yuan said: "Please recommend to us.ｗｗｗ.pinw.CoｏM"
The waitress said: "No problem. We have more high-end ones here. I recommend this one. The price is 50,000 yuan for 100 grams. If it is mid-range, I recommend this one. The price is 28,000 yuan for 50 grams. There are also lower-end ones.
But if you two want to give it to an important friend, I don’t recommend this one.”
Lu Yuan asked: "Just now a customer seemed to also buy Cordyceps sinensis. Which one did he buy?"
The waitress looked at the payment counter over there and said, "Oh, he bought 50 grams for 28,000, which is already pretty good. Look, he's here. Or you can ask him."
Liang Jian quickly said: "No, thank you, we will think about it again. He took Lu Yuan's hand and walked away."
The two of them saw Shi Ning handing the receipt to the waiter in the distance and walking away with a 50-gram gift box of Tongrentang Cordyceps sinensis. They kept picking it up and looking at it as they walked, as if they were afraid that the gift box would leak and lose the precious Cordyceps sinensis.
The worms leaked out from underneath.
Lu Yuan said: "How many do you plan to buy?"
Liang Jiandao: "He buys Cordyceps sinensis, and I also buy it. He is not an idiot. I would rather give the money directly."
Lu Yuan said: "That's what I mean too. Then just send the money directly. We will pick it up right away as much as you plan to send."
Liang Jiandao: "Send it today? Let's wait for another day."
Lu Yuan grabbed his arm and said: "Teachers have told us since we were young that successful people are like this. If you don't seize some opportunities, you will lose them forever."
The reason why Liang Jian said he would not buy Cordyceps sinensis was that he wanted to postpone the gift-giving until later. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan's supervision was so thorough that he had no room for delay.
The two used their credit cards to withdraw 20,000 yuan in cash from an ATM.
Liang Jian has been living in the countryside for several years, but he has never given money like this.
Holding a stack of money in her hand, she asked Lu Yuan: "What should I do?"
Lu Yuan: "What should I do?"
Liang Jian: "Is this how you give it away?"
Lu Yuan: "That's definitely not possible. At least you need to pack something."
Liang Jian: "What to pack? Buy a red bag?"
Lu Yuan: "Okay, let's buy a wedding bag."
The two of them bought a red envelope from a small grocery store and stuffed 20,000 yuan into it. After 20,000 yuan was stuffed inside, it became bulging. Lu Yuan put the bag in her hand and shook it.
Dian: "It's substantial."
Liang Jian added: "Just give me a red bag? What if he doesn't want it?"
Lu Yuan: "That's true. Under normal circumstances, if you give money blatantly, the boss won't accept it. You have to buy something else and put the money in it. The boss will usually open one eye and close the other.
Eyes, I won’t look at them until the person leaves. Why don’t you buy a fruit basket? You can’t be “banana-handed” when visiting someone’s house. A fruit basket is not a valuable thing, so it’s impossible for him not to accept it. Put down the fruit basket and leave.
Only then will he look at the money inside, and that will be the end of it.”
Liang Jian: "Okay, then let's go buy fruit."
The fruit basket was bought. Liang Jian was still mumbling: "Do I need to buy something else?"
Lu Yuan finally saw that Liang Jian was actually stalling for time. Lu Yuan said impatiently: "I don't need anything else. What I want is for you to give me the gift."
Liang Jian had no choice but to finally come up with a trump card: "I don't know where Zhong Tao's family lives!"
Lu Yuan shook her head: "You have worked in Shimian Town for so many years, and you don't know where the secretary lives. You must have failed!"
Liang Jian followed Lu Yuan's suggestion to go. I don't know where Zhong Tao's family lives, so he must not be able to go. Liang Jian felt happy in his heart.
Lu Yuan said, "I know you are a confused person. Fortunately, I have obtained the address of Zhong Tao's home for you in advance."
Liang Jian was surprised: "How did you get it?"
Lu Yuan said: "I asked Wang Qiaoling to help. Doesn't she know Jiang Yan, the cadre section chief of the district committee's organization department? The cadre section is in charge of the personal information of the cadres in the district. It is not easy to get Zhong Tao's home address! But in order to get this address,
I promised to owe Wang Qiaoling and Jiang Yan a meal and I will pay them back."
"Jiang Yan, is this the senior fellow from Jiangzhong University you mentioned?" Liang Jian asked.
Lu Yuan: "That's right."
"Oh." Liang Jian thought of Yu Yue from the secretarial department of the district committee office. She was his junior sister.
The terms "senior brother" and "junior sister" are inherently ambiguous. Liang Jian didn't know what the extent of the relationship between Jiang Yan and his wife Lu Yuan was.
Lu Yuan interrupted his train of thought: "Hurry up, it's too late, the leader also needs to rest."
Looking at the address obtained from the Organization Department of the District Committee, following the map, the two of them arrived at Shuihuafu Community. Shuihuafu is a high-end residential area in Jingzhou City. People living there are either high-ranking officials or businessmen. Except for the rich, they are...
Those who have power also have power and money. The property management of the community is strict. After the two told them the address and the name of the owner, the security guard let them go and told them not to park their cars casually.
The car drove into the community and finally came to a building. By the way, this is the building.
Lu Yuan: "You go up, I will stay in the car, and the security will come to urge the car to drive away. I can explain it in the car."
Liang Jian: "Then I'll go up and come down soon."
Liang Jian got out of the car empty-handed.
Lu Yuan quickly stopped him: "Liang Jian, stuff, if you don't bring anything, why are you going there!"
Liang Jian smiled bitterly: "I forgot."
Lu Yuan: "You can forget everything, but you can't forget things. Why don't you give me a gift? Really."
Lu Yuan looked at Liang Jian from the car and walked towards the security door of the corridor. She thought to herself, why is this Liang Jian not born to give gifts? In the officialdom, to put it bluntly, if you can't give gifts, you can't be an official. Lu Yuan is really a bit
I doubt whether Liang Jian can survive in the officialdom.
In fact, Liang Jian is not bad at giving gifts. When he followed Huang Shaohua, the former secretary of the town party committee, he would give gifts to superior leaders and departments from time to time during holidays. He gave tea when tea was in season, bamboo shoots when bamboo shoots were in season, and festivals.
Sending cigarettes, alcohol, souvenirs when the leader came down for an inspection, and giving cards to Jingzhou Building when he asked his superiors for help and it was not a special occasion. Liang Jian participated in many gift-givings, and he didn't feel unnatural at all. The key point is that
It depends on who you are giving it to and why you are giving it.
Reciprocity is a common practice in the officialdom, and everyone is used to it. However, there are two major difficulties in giving gifts. First, some gifts are expressly prohibited from being given, such as giving gifts during the selection and appointment of cadres. Giving them well can help you to become a successful person.
If you are reported for giving gifts for the purpose of promotion, you will probably be punished by the organization and your life will be ruined. The second is to give it to someone who is obviously not interested in you. In official circles
It's so weird. Sometimes you know that the other person doesn't treat you well, but you still shamelessly give him gifts. The key lies in the word "profit". Even though the other person doesn't like you, and you don't like him either, but he has
If you have power and are good for your interests, you have to give gifts. This kind of gift is not easy to give. If you give it well, people will accept it and change their previous attitude towards you. If you don't give it well, it will be like giving someone a clue.
In other people's hands.
The reason why Liang Jian was very unhappy with this gift-giving was that he felt that giving a gift to Zhong Tao met the two major difficulties mentioned above. He had a vague feeling that this gift-giving was a bit more dangerous than good.
After pressing Zhong Tao's home number on the security door, a bell rang inside.
Zhong Tao and his wife are at home, and their daughter is doing homework in her room. She says she is doing homework, but she is actually chatting with a male classmate on QQ.
Zhong Tao's wife, Ma Laidi, said impatiently: "Why are people knocking on our door one after another in the past two days? The young man from your unit, Shi Ning, came just now. He only left for two minutes. Why is there another knock on the door?"
Zhong Tao lay on the sofa and said: "There is nothing we can do these days. We are competing for middle-level positions. Everyone who comes here hopes that your husband will promote him. Just bear with it for these two days!"
Ma Laidi: "Okay, just bear with it for a while."
Ma Laidi said this, but it was too late to feel happy. As long as someone came into the house, they would either give gifts or money. She suddenly felt that her husband, who had become the secretary of the town party committee, was more respected than before, and the household expenses were also better than before.
More relaxed, she is planning to buy another property in another high-end community this year. This is to prepare for her daughter's future. She knows that her precious daughter is very playful, but if her grades are not good, she may become something great in the future.
, it’s better for her parents to think more about her future. While her father has been the party secretary in the past few years, buy her a house, at least she won’t have no place to live in the future. What a pity for the parents in the world.
Ma Laidi saw a young man in the video of the security door call system, but she didn't recognize him, so she said to Zhong Tao: "A young man, I don't recognize him."
"Ask him who he is," Zhong Tao said.
Malaidi: "Who are you?"
Liang Jian said: "My name is Liang Jian, and I work for the town government."
Ma Laidi said to Zhong Tao: "My name is Liang Jian, young man."
"Liang Jian?" Zhong Tao frowned, wondering why he was here.
"Or just say you're not here," Malaidi said.
"Wait a minute." Zhong Tao's frown relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Let him come up."
The security door opens and closes.
The sensor light in the corridor suddenly came on.
Liang Jian noticed a small object on the edge of the stairs. He didn't know who had thrown it there. It was a small booklet. Liang Jian picked it up and looked at the writing on the cover: Pocket Manual of Eugenics and Education.
It turned out to be a family planning brochure about the size of a hundred-dollar bill.
Liang Jian thought that he and Lu Yuan didn't have children yet, so there was nothing wrong with picking it up and flipping through it. So he put the booklet in his arms.
Zhong Tao's family lives on the fifth floor. It is a split-level house, which is equivalent to occupying two floors of the house. The area has reached 200 square meters. When Liang Jian walked upstairs, he took out the brochures from time to time and looked at them. In fact, he didn't read anything.
.It’s nothing more than delaying time.
The phone rang suddenly. Lu Yuan called to urge him.
Liang Jian picked up and said, "It's coming soon."
Lu Yuan's voice on the phone: "You should have arrived a long time ago. It takes you longer to climb the fifth floor than to climb a mountain."
Liang Jian said, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. I'll hang up first."
