Xu Chunliang turned around and saw Huang Yong walking over with several people, including one of his acquaintances, Zhang Yiben, who used to work as a propaganda officer in Hushan Town. Now Zhang Yiben has been transferred to the deputy director of Guquan Town.
Mayor, he has been promoted very quickly during this period. The reason is that he relies on his relationship with his old classmate Qiao Rulong.
Xu Chunliang asked Song Xinyu and others to go ahead and stopped to greet Huang Yong and others.
Huang Yong held Xu Chunliang's hand enthusiastically: "Mayor Xu, you didn't even say hello in advance when you came, so that I could be prepared to welcome you."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'm having dinner with a few friends." The reason why he didn't introduce the identities of those people is that today is a working day, so he still has to be cautious about eating out.
Zhang Yiben also came over and shook hands with Xu Chunliang. He knew Geng Qingsong. He looked at the group of people leaving and said, "You also have something to do with the funeral home."
Xu Chunliang said: "I now work in the civil affairs department."
Zhang Yiben said: "Civil Affairs Bureau? What a great place. Have you worked in a funeral parlor?"
Xu Chunliang already knew something about this guy's background. When he saw him this time, he clearly noticed that this guy was speaking with more confidence than before. After all, he was already the deputy mayor.
Zhang Yiben's deputy mayor is nothing to Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang doesn't take this guy seriously at all. He knows that he was Qiao Rulong's spy next to Mei Ruxue in the past. Mei Ruxue usually has someone there.
If there is any disturbance, this guy will report it to Qiao Rulong as soon as possible, which means that this guy has often made small reports on himself in the past.
Xu Chunliang said: "I am now in charge of the Social Relief Department and concurrently the director of the Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Zhang Benben originally thought that Xu Chunliang could only be a junior clerk in the Civil Affairs Bureau. He never expected that he would be promoted so quickly. He went through a lot of effort to get into the associate department, but he did not expect that he was already a full-time clerk.
, and it is a unit with real power.
Zhang Benben was instantly discouraged, his stiff waist relaxed, and the smile on his face was obviously awkward: "Congratulations, Director Xu."
Xu Chunliang said: "There is nothing to congratulate. It's not work anywhere. Even if I am in the Civil Affairs Bureau and you are at the grassroots level, there is no difference. We are all serving the people."
This sentence sounds modest and low-key, but it actually tells Zhang Yiben that you are just a grassroots cadre, and I am not on the same level as you at all.
Huang Yong said: "Mayor Xu, no, Director Xu, I will go over and toast to all the leaders later."
Xu Chunliang said: "We just have working meals and don't drink."
Xu Chunliang went back to sit down and told Song Xinyu that the people he just met were colleagues he met when working in Hushan Town. Song Xinyu nodded and continued to look at the menu. He was thinking about ordering. The cold dishes had been served, and all eight cold dishes were
Local specialty, there are two kinds of plain river shrimp, one is drunken shrimp and the other is saltwater river shrimp.
Song Xinyu looked at Geng Qingsong and said to himself that you just handed me the menu for me to order. It turns out that you have arranged everything.
Geng Qingsong looked confused. He hadn't even ordered yet, so he quickly stopped the waiter and asked him if the wrong dish was served.
The waiter said yes, it was all arranged by Director Xu.
The only person at the table named Xu was Xu Chunliang. Song Xinyu said to Xu Chunliang: "Xiao Xu, you are too polite."
Geng Qingsong said: "That's right, Director Xu, we agreed that I would be the host today."
At this time, the store owner personally delivered a box of Mengliu, grinning and saying that if he had any requests, just ask.
Xu Chunliang knew that it was Huang Yong who arranged it, so he nodded and said, "Tell Director Huang that I will come over later."
Song Xinyu said: "Let's not drink wine."
Xu Chunliang said: "You're all here, let's have a drink. If you don't drink, we won't dare to drink. How can we communicate freely if we don't drink? If we don't communicate well, we won't be able to do our job well. How can we develop the local economy?"
?If we don’t do our job well, we will not be able to live up to the expectations of the party and the people.”
Geng Qingsong and a few others looked at Xu Chunliang longingly, shouting in their hearts: Damn it, how could they blatantly say this to the leader? They would never dare to do it.
Song Xinyu actually laughed: "Xiao Xu, you can drink if you want and don't look for excuses from work, but what you said makes some sense."
Geng Qingsong asked cautiously: "Would you like some drink?"
Song Xinyu said: "Eating together is for better work, not to delay work. Everything must be done in moderation."
Several subordinates nodded repeatedly, looking very serious, and they were secretly amused. You, Song Xinyu, want to drink it yourself.
Xu Chunliang opened the wine, and Song Xinyu said that one bottle was enough. After all, he had just said that wine should be in moderation. After all, Xu Chunliang's skill in persuading people to drink was top-notch, and his incitement was top-notch. The most important thing was that he
Lead by example and be unambiguous about your drinking capacity.
Before I knew it, the three bottles of wine were all empty. Everyone except the driver weighed half a kilo.
Song Xinyu said: "It's almost done. If you drink any more, you will delay your work."
Xu Chunliang said: "Resting now is for better work."
At this time, the waiter brought a dish of wild turtle, with the fish head still facing Song Xinyu.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Fish head and fish tail wine."
Song Xinyu looked at the proud thing on the plate and couldn't help but laugh: "Is there also fish head and fish tail wine?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Yes, three on the head and four on the tail, five on the belly and six on the back."
Song Xinyu said: "Your rules are a bit far-fetched. I am the first three, and little Geng is the fourth. Who should drink from this soft-shelled turtle?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "That's not easy. It must be six cups to the sky and five to the earth. You two drink with the heaven and the earth. What a blessing."
Song Xinyu laughed loudly. He had already drank anyway, so he just returned home happily today and drank three glasses happily. Geng Qingsong also drank four glasses. Xu Chunliang used chopsticks to put the old turtle's head on Song Xinyu's plate.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Song Xinyu said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, Xiao Xu, you have worked hard, I will help you make up for it."
Xu Chunliang put another piece of skirt on the turtle's head and said to Song Xinyu: "Song Bureau, you have to eat it. This is called sticking into the skirt."
Everyone laughed together, and Song Xinyu laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "You kid, this can also be thought of as, okay, okay, with your luck, I must go deep into the masses."
While Song Xinyu was savoring his taste among the crowd, Zhang Yiben and Huang Yong came in with drinks.
Xu Chunliang introduced them to those present. When introducing himself, he did not introduce Song Xinyu's specific identity. He just introduced generally that this is our leader.
Zhang Yiben had already made inquiries and came to Song Xinyu to propose a toast.
Xu Chunliang said: "I think this way, let's not drink one by one. You two each have a pot, I will accompany you with a pot, and the other leaders each have two small cups, how about it?"
Everyone agreed, and Xu Chunliang drank a pot of wine in one gulp. Zhang Yiben and Huang Yong also drank. They knew that it was not suitable to stay for a long time, so they said goodbye and left.
Xu Chunliang sent them out. Zhang Yiben had drunk too much and his steps were a little sloppy. He stumbled when he went out. If Xu Chunliang hadn't grabbed him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Xu Chunliang reminded Zhang Yiben to be careful where he steps. Zhang Yiyi passed by first, while Huang Yong chose to take a few steps slower.
Xu Chunliang said: "Director Huang, you are too polite."
Huang Yong smiled and said: "As a courtesy to the landlord, Director Xu, please take care of us more in the future."
Xu Chunliang said: "If it involves civil affairs, please contact me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Huang Yong said: "When will your new crematorium be officially opened?"
Xu Chunliang said: "At the end of the year."
Huang Yong said: "By the way, I heard that your new crematorium is a bit evil. Since the construction started, people have either died or gotten cancer."
Xu Chunliang said: "Where are the people not dying? Where are the people not getting sick? Don't listen to the nonsense outside."
Huang Yong said: "Anyway, I heard a lot of evil news. Do you want to find a gentleman to check it out? I know an expert who is quite powerful."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "What kind of master?"
Huang Yongshen said mysteriously: "The descendant of Yuan Tianshi Yuan Tiangang."
Xu Chunliang said: "Aren't you a charlatan?"
Huang Yong said: "Impossible, he is the master of Longhu Academy. You should have heard of him. He also founded Hande Academy. This man is definitely an expert outside the world."
Xu Chunliang said: "Yuan Hongping?"
Huang Yong nodded and said, "Yes, it's Master Yuan."
Xu Chunliang felt a little strange about how he met Yuan Hongping. Logically speaking, people like Huang Yong should not have much interest in Chinese studies.
Huang Yong said: "You know him too?"
Xu Chunliang smiled, didn't say much, patted Huang Yong on the shoulder and asked him to go greet his friends quickly.
Song Xinyu was quite satisfied with the meal. He didn't go back to work and asked the driver to take him home directly.
Xu Chunliang originally wanted to go home, but midway he received a call from Director Wang Tongan asking him to come home.
Xu Chunliang guessed that it was to help his parents renovate their old house. Xu Chunliang didn't let the driver take him there. He got out of the car and took a taxi to the community where Wang Tongan's parents lived.
During the festival, Ding Si asked the workers to work overtime to renovate the house. Before his parents moved back, Wang Tongan came over to take a look. He was quite satisfied with the result. Wang Tongan asked Xu Chunliang to come over, firstly to let him
Also look at the effect of the renovation, and second, settle the costs.
Xu Chunliang was prepared and showed Wang Tongan the formal renovation contract and project cost prepared by Ding Si. Wang Tongan took a look and realized that the money was really not much. He would ask his father to sign it later and then transfer the money.
Xu Chunliang was not polite to him either. Wang Tongan must have settled this amount, and he would not easily give it to others with such a big handle.
Wang Tong'an said: "I have learned about Dingli Construction, a very powerful construction and installation company."
Xu Chunliang said: "I am very familiar with their boss and have cooperated many times in the past."
Wang Tongan nodded and said, "I heard that you went to the new funeral home today?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Old Song asked me to follow him and get familiar with the work of the Civil Affairs Bureau." In front of Wang Tongan, he couldn't address Song Xinyu's official position. Although there were several chief and deputy directors of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the top leader could only be
Wang Tongan.
Wang Tongan said: "Young man is working very hard. How is the progress of the project over there?"
