Mai Xiaodong drove all the way to the Provincial Party Committee, parked the car and said, "Secretary Shang wants to see you."

Ling You had already guessed it on the way, so he nodded and said, "I was planning to thank Secretary Shang in person, but I was afraid that the leader would not have time."

Mai Xiaodong opened the car door: "Let's go."

The two came to Shang Yuanzhi's door. Mai Xiaodong knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in, followed closely by Ling You.

Shang Yuanzhi looked up and said with a smile: "Xiao Ling is here, sit down."

After Mai Xiaodong took Ling You to sit down on the sofa, he went to pour him a glass of water, and finally said to Shang Yuanzhi: "Boss, I'm going back to the office first. If you need anything, call me."

Shang Yuanzhi was writing the materials in his hand and nodded: "Okay, go ahead and do your work first."

After Mai Xiaodong walked out and carefully closed the office door, Shang Yuanzhi lowered his head and said, "Xiao Ling, please wait a moment while I finish writing this material."

Ling You sat on the sofa and said softly: "You go first."

About five or six minutes later, Shang Yuanzhi put down the pen in his hand and sat up from the office chair. Ling You also stood up when he saw this.

Shang Yuanzhi held the thermos cup and walked to the sofa while pressing his hands: "Sit down, sit down."

But Lingyou still waited for Shang Yuanzhi to sit down before following him.

"What position did the Department of Health give you?"

Ling You replied: "Office of the Inspection and Steering Group of the Love Health Office."

Shang Yuanzhi nodded: "Oh, the national patriotic health campaign has begun again. This work is very important and very tempering. You have just joined the system. Are you confident that you can do it well?"

Ling You smiled and said: "They say everything is difficult at the beginning, but even tall buildings can be built from the ground. I will try my best to do it."

Shang Yuanzhi nodded and said: "Well, if you have such a belief, you will never do a bad job. I am optimistic about you."

Ling You said gratefully: "It's all thanks to your trust in me, leader."

Shang Yuanzhi waved his hand: "You must also think that I promoted you because you saved my unfulfilled son? You are wrong. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a talented person.

I saw a kind of tenacity that I can't see in most people, a spirit of hatred and hatred.

.And Jiangning Province is now full of good and bad, and has gone through a major purge some time ago. It is the time to bring in fresh blood and recruit talents in an eclectic way. Therefore, I urgently need talents like you who can spring up like mushrooms in the near future.

Generally, every land in Jiangning Province is opened."

After hearing this, Ling You couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He thought that his position was too small. He always felt that Shang Yuanzhi arranged his work just to repay his personal relationship. But now when he heard what he said, he realized that he was still a cultivator.

Not enough. Thinking about the problem is too simplistic and superficial.

"As for your relationship with Mr. Qin, to be honest, before I fully understood you, I hoped that you could act as a medium through you, but I was definitely not doing it for my personal promotion and progress. I was just a grassroots secretary.

Because of my background, many times when it comes to good policies and projects in Beijing, I can't compete with the chief officials in other provinces who have connections and backgrounds, so I had some selfish motives before. Today, it's just the two of us, and I'm going to make a self-examination."

Upon hearing this, Ling You hurriedly said: "Secretary Shang, you are serious. What kind of leader you are, I can see it from this big operation in Jiangning Province. I also grew up in Jiangning.

On the land, my heart is the same as yours. We all hope that the people of our province can become stable and prosperous through our efforts, and that their children can learn, they can have careers in middle school, and they can rely on themselves in old age. This is also my decision this time.

I understand your original intention and ideal of entering the system."

Shang Yuanzhi looked at Ling You with satisfaction, and after a moment he smiled and said, "At first, I thought you would reject me like you did the first time."

Ling You scratched his head in embarrassment: "Last time, I was arrogant. Your prime minister's belly can support the boat."

Shang Yuanzhi waved his hand: "Young man, it is a good thing to have arrogance and a bottom line. At least it will not be easily corrupted. I hope you can always stick to your pride and bottom line amidst interests and temptations."

After hearing this, Ling You straightened his body and said seriously: "Yes, I will keep it in mind."

The two chatted for a while more, and Shang Yuanzhi had a meeting to hold, so Ling You said hello to Mai Xiaodong again, agreed that he would be a host in the evening, and left the provincial party committee.

After waiting on the roadside for a long time, a taxi came. After getting in, Ling You suddenly realized that in a big city like Yuyang, transportation is really a problem compared to the small Yungang Village, so he thought about it for a while.

, Ling You said to the driver: "Master, take me to a more reliable second-hand car market."

The driver said "Okay!" and started the vehicle and headed to the largest second-hand car trading center in Yuyang City.

After shopping for more than an hour, Lingyou's idea was to buy an ordinary and cheap mobility vehicle, so in the end, under the introduction of a second-hand car shopping guide, he spent more than 30,000 yuan and bought an ordinary black Volkswagen.

After cooperating with the transfer and other procedures, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Ling You went to wash the car again. When applying for the car wash card, he looked at the time and estimated that Xue Yayan, Du Heng, and Mai Xiaodong were about to get off work.

I was just thinking about where would be a better place to treat guests.

This is the first time that Lingyou has invited Mai Xiaodong and Du Heng to dinner. The choice of a small place naturally shows that he is not sincere.

Just as he was putting the newly issued car wash card into his coat pocket, he touched another card and took it out to see that it was the card that manager Zhang Zhongchen gave him when Qin Zhi took him to the Vimank International Hotel last time.

The black card of Wemank Hotel made him feel like he really wanted to sleep, so he got a pillow.

Among the several high-end hotels in Yuyang City, the top one is naturally the government-reception-level Yuyang Hotel that Mai Xiaodong invited him to last time. And the only one that can match the same level as Yuyang Hotel is Weimank. However, once he arrived,

Yuyang Hotel has an unwritten rule, which is to arrange private rooms of different grades depending on the level. I just haven't officially taken up the post yet.

I am a junior associate section in the Department of Health, and the private rooms arranged are definitely the most ordinary ones. Even if there are a lot of people dining, it is hard to say whether I can get in line. Although I met Yuyang Hotel through Mai Xiaodong's recommendation last time.

The manager of the hotel, Zhang Damin, invited Mai Xiaodong and others by himself, so it would be better to use Mai Xiaodong’s connections to book private rooms.

Secondly, there is a mixed crowd at Yuyang Restaurant, and Mai Xiaodong and Du Heng have special identities. They may not meet any high-level acquaintances there like last time. If the time comes that they will not be able to drink freely or have fun, it will be even worse.

The gain outweighs the loss.
