Chen Jing did not expect that this visit to Beijing would be so different from the previous visits.
He had just stepped into the capital and had just returned home to put down his luggage when the calls came one after another.
Some of the peers in the Northwest Department and the Fang family who were familiar with each other before, as well as the friends Chen Jing had made in the capital, basically all invited Chen Jing to meet up.
This was something that had never happened before. Chen Jing thought about it carefully and understood in his heart that many people were probably paying attention to his promotion of deputy director this time.
Moreover, his identity is unusual after all. The Fang family has great influence in the capital. As the third generation son-in-law of the Fang family, he can perform well and naturally receive more attention than ordinary people.
Most of these phone calls and invitations cannot be avoided, but if he agrees to them, Chen Jing will not have to spend this year.
After thinking about it, he changed his explanation and simply lowered his position and said that he must visit her before and after the Spring Festival.
Meeting in person is different from visiting someone's home.
Come to visit, prepare some gifts, send them over and chat for a few words, for half an hour at most, and that's pretty much it.
But if it is really a gathering or a dinner party, it will take half a day. There are seven days off during the Spring Festival, so how can we have so much time?
But I can push some, but I can't turn them all down. I can't turn down the invitation from Fang Wanqi's eldest brother, Fang Changzheng's son Fang Lianjun.
Because the age gap between the three brothers in the previous generation of the Fang family is quite large.
Fang Changzheng is now in his early seventies, and is a full eighteen years older than his second brother, Fang Lujian.
Therefore, Fang Changzheng's sons are much older than the other three generations of the Fang family.
Fang Lianjun is already fifty years old this year, and the age gap between him and Chen Jing is nearly twenty years, almost a generation apart.
Fang Lianjun is now the director of the Market Construction Department of the Ministry of Commerce and the top leader at the department and bureau level.
Chen Jing now works in the business line, and Fang Lianjun is the eldest brother, how could he refuse?
After Chen Jing arrived in the capital and picked up Chu Jiang's parents the next day, everything was settled, and he and Fang Wanqi went to Fang Lianjun's invitation on time.
It can be seen that Fang Lianjun is serious about entertaining guests this time, and the venue for the treat is the Tan Family Restaurant in Beijing.
Private kitchen cuisine is now very famous in Beijing, and the Tan family's private kitchen cuisine is one of the best.
Even though it is just a small restaurant, the dignitaries from the capital gather here.
Normally, if you want to have a table of meals, you have to make a reservation in advance. The meals on the table are all the best of the best, with extremely exquisite workmanship and materials.
Jin Lu learned some experience in private kitchen cooking at Nanyue Restaurant in Guangdong Province.
Fang Lianjun, as a high-ranking official who has been in the capital's upper class for most of his life, does not look as powerful as a local official. He is very elegant by nature and very humble and polite in his speech. He shook hands with Chen Jing, shook his head and said:
"Xiao Jing, I have always been optimistic about you and know that you are a talented person. Now it is true. You have made a big name in Lingnan and attracted a lot of attention in the capital. Even your third uncle praised you for your ability and motivation.
, let us all learn from you!"
Chen Jing smiled and said: "Brother, please stop treating me badly. You are now a serious leader in front of me. I am here today to visit the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce."
Fang Lianjun's wife is Han Qian, who is from southern Sichuan Province and is much younger than him.
Han Qian is also here today. She comes from a relatively ordinary background, and her marriage with Fang Lianjun was not favored by others in the past.
But among Fang Wanqi's sisters-in-law, Han Qian is the most kind-hearted and popular.
Moreover, she is also very good at controlling her husband. She and Fang Lianjun have been married for more than ten years, and their relationship has always been good, and they have become a standard model couple among the children of the Fang family.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.
Han Qian was petty and had a lively chat with Fang Wanqi.
Fang Lianjun is also very talkative, and he and Chen Jing always have something to talk about, and the two of them have a very pleasant conversation.
There is quite a reason why Fang Lianjun entertained us so warmly today.
The first reason should be that Fang Wanqi expressed his gratitude.
Han Qian used to run a service company, and its main business was conference organization and planning, and conference logistics arrangements.
The main service targets are meetings of ministries and commissions in the capital. Some ministries and commissions hold meetings outside the capital. Generally, the logistics and conference work are outsourced and arranged by specialized companies. Han Qian's company is mainly engaged in this aspect of business.
Government unit budgets are generally very loose, so the profits from this work are relatively high and stable.
In recent years, Han Qian and Fang Lianjun have lived a relatively prosperous life, which has a lot to do with this.
However, everything has pros and cons.
The biggest disadvantage of Han Qian doing this is that she gossips a lot.
It is said that Han Qian is doing business relying on the influence and connections of the Fang family, and some businesses may not meet relevant policy standards.
Moreover, when dealing with officials in the officialdom, nothing can be completely innocent. Sometimes, after a meeting is completed, part of the profit will be given to others.
Working under the nose of the central government, some officials were investigated for unclear sources of property, and this responsible company is still involved.
Especially now during the peak period of arrests, bribery is also a very serious crime.
Just because of Han Qian's company, Fang Lianjun has had difficulty making progress in recent years.
Every time before and after the organization inspected him, some problems of one kind or another would arise, and he often missed out on promotion.
In the blink of an eye, he is already fifty years old and has been in the Ministry of Commerce for more than ten years.
Now it is very difficult for Fang Lianjun.
On the one hand, my wife's company has good performance and good profits, and the family has this income and is living a decent life. Fang Lianjun is at ease at work and does not need to focus on making money like other people.
However, Fang Lianjun now also wants to go further. He doesn't want to hear so much gossip from others, let alone anyone making trouble about this matter.
Not to mention outsiders, even within the Northwest Clan and the Fang family, there is often a lot of gossip.
After all, Han Qian's company has more or less used some of the influence of the Northwest Clan and the Fang Family.
And Fang Lianjun has made a lot of money in recent years, and others are jealous of him, so it is inevitable for everyone to make irresponsible remarks.
Since Han Qian and Fang Wanqi met last year, Fang Wanqi introduced her to the media outsourcing business.
Fang Wanqi gave Han Qian millions of dollars in business at once.
This was a good profit. After working for a year, Han Qian and her husband discussed it and decided to gradually fade out of the previous business and start to enter new fields.
In one year, Han Qian successfully completed the business transformation, during which Fang Wanqi helped her a lot.
Both husband and wife were very grateful to Fang Wanqi.
Now Fang Lianjun is working, hoping to go to work for a term in a local area and strive to catch up with the last batch of deputy department promotions at his age. This time he is much more confident than before.
Chen Jing's strength is that he has rich experience in grassroots work and is a serious bottom-up cadre.
Critics of Chen Jing generally believe that he is very comprehensive, very practical, and at the same time capable and experienced. He is a rare good prospect among young cadres.
By inviting Chen Jing to a get-together, Fang Lianjun naturally wanted to get closer to Chen Jing.
What officialdom needs is a circle, and there are also camps within the Fang family.
As the backbone of the Fang family, Fang Lianjun is in an awkward position.
He felt a lot of pressure from rising stars such as Tang Zhi and Gu Linfeng, and his relationship with them was naturally more subtle.
But now the third generation of the Northwest Department seems to be dominated by Tang Zhi and Gu Linfeng.
Compared with them, Fang Lianjun is weaker and more isolated.
Tang Zhi had a problem last year, and Chen Jing rose to prominence again. How could Fang Lianjun not take the lead in establishing a good relationship with Chen Jing?
Fang Luping said it well. A cadre like Chen Jing will definitely be promoted in a few years. He has the ability, conditions, and is excellent in all aspects. If the organization does not promote him, who will be promoted?
In a few years, Chen Jing will only be in his thirties.
He is very likely to catch up from behind, or at least catch up with Tang Zhi and Gu Linfeng.
After that, who can say for sure which direction the future situation will take?
Chen Jing didn't know that Fang Lianjun had such complicated thoughts.
He is now very eager to get to know the leaders in the business line.
In the political arena of Lingnan Province, Chen Jing has too few resources, especially in the provincial capital.
The provincial capital is not close to its neighbors.
He was the leader in the neighboring corner, which was below. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. Where Chen Jing should be in control, he could use force unambiguously, even if he violated some rules.
But how could his methods work in a provincial capital?
Sometimes, if something serious happened, he would be watched closely, and he would have no room to make a detour.
After getting acquainted with Fang Lianjun, if I can get a few projects from the Ministry of Commerce, there is hope for the economic cooperation office to open up next year.
During the conversation, Chen Jing introduced to Fang Lianjun some of the situations of the Lingnan Provincial Department of Commerce and his own economic cooperation, talked about some achievements, and more about some difficulties.
Fang Lianjun said: "Xiaojing, this economic cooperation unit is unique to Lingnan. There is no experience to follow. Therefore, I think you must first find the correct positioning. Economic cooperation is not inconsistent with our market construction. Economic cooperation must be carried out
, first of all, it is inseparable from the market.
If we want to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, market construction is essential. With a good market, cooperation often has a grassroots level.
I think you could use a wider perspective.
At present, the central government pays more attention to the large economic circle of Lingnan, Hong Kong and Macao. We are now studying the market construction issues between Lingnan and the two special administrative regions. Now that you have the Economic Cooperation Office, you can do this work!"
Chen Jing's heart moved, thinking that the cadres working in ministries and commissions were different. They had a wide range of information, were very informed, and had a keen sense of smell.
But where the Office for Economic Co-operation and Development currently stands...
When Fang Lianjun saw that Chen Jing seemed hesitant, he thought Chen Jing thought he was talking politely, so he immediately patted his chest and said:
"Xiao Jing, don't worry. I will report this matter to the department leaders after the year and win over this work for you. Brothers who fight tigers, we brothers will build this market together. I am more confident!" (Unfinished!)
