Powerful Career - Chapter 224: Human Relations

This weekend, Lu Yan had a very difficult time. For the whole two days, he was busy giving favors and gifts from various parties.

Gao Jia and Wei Bangkun were a little better. After all, they were already very familiar with them. Lu Yan just made a phone call and got the things done without much effort.

When I met Wei Bangkun, I was at his home. Although the inspection office was busy, it was still a little better at the end of the year. When I received Lu Yan’s call, Wei Bangkun was resting at home. When I heard that Lu Yan was going to visit him, Wei Bangkun

He seemed very enthusiastic and directly invited Lu Yan to his home.

Although Lu Yan only worked under Wei Bangkun for a year, and Wei Bangkun was the director of the inspection office at the time, Lu Yan was just a small general cadre. However, Wei Bangkun had a very good influence on Lu Yan

.To this day, I still feel that this young man is sensible and capable, and he is a promising talent.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Wei Bangkun's house. Lu Yan didn't stay long after entering the house. After greetings, he briefly reported on his work situation, and then asked Wei Bangkun's current situation with concern, then went straight to the topic and sent him a message.

Got the gift certificate Lin Zhijie prepared for him.

When he met Gao Jia, he was in his office. After coming out of Wei Bangkun's home, Lu Yan made a phone call. It happened that all the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee were working overtime for a meeting, and Gao Jia was also on standby in his office. This saved a lot of money.

The trouble is just right, I can visit them all in one trip.

Lu Yan called at this juncture, and Gao Jia could certainly guess what he was here for. In fact, Gao Jia didn't want Lu Yan to spend money, but there was no explanation in the phone call, so Gao Jia couldn't say it directly.

You don't want to come and give me gifts, you just have to wait and see what happens.

In fact, Gao Jia is also having a lot of headaches about giving gifts during this period. The Chinese traditional Spring Festival is coming soon. This kind of festival is also the time when giving gifts in officialdom becomes popular. Even though Gao Jia is just the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee General Office,

Sometimes, his office is better than the secretary-general's office

There are many people in the room. Some people drop by Secretary Xu Richeng's office when they come to visit him, and some people come here to visit him on a special trip. No matter what kind of people they are, they often come to his office, and I can't say how many.

Just say something insignificant and leave something behind when you leave.

The things left behind may be gifts or shopping cards. Of course, some people give cash directly. However, not many people give gifts and cash in recent years. Most people still give one.

A shopping card. The biggest advantage of a shopping card is that it doesn’t have a real name, it can be yours or mine. Moreover, this thing has a small target and is easy to carry. If you don’t want to use it, you can sell it for cash. So this

Small cards have become the most widely circulated gift-giving choice in official circles over the years.

Gao Jia's rank is deputy department level. According to the market situation in Xizhou Province, a gift for an official of his level starts at 2,000 yuan.

Gao Jia often accepts gifts out of helplessness, but he has his own principles for receiving gifts. He knows what can and cannot be accepted. Gao Jia always accepts gifts and cash.

No. The goal of giving gifts is too big. Someone might have spotted you when you walked in, and you might even be in the office.

It’s inconvenient to store these things in the room, and the target is too big when you take them home. You can’t accept cash if you give it away. If money is hot to your hands, you will destroy yourself if you are not careful.

For those who give shopping cards, Gao Jia also weighs their motives for giving gifts and only accepts them when he feels they are safe.

Even so, it's not even the Chinese New Year yet, and there are more than a hundred shopping cards in Gao Jia's drawer. The lowest face value of these shopping cards is one thousand yuan, and the highest face value is five thousand yuan. In total,

It's worth more than 200,000 yuan.

This does not include some of the cards that Gaojia has already given away. In officialdom, people come and go with gifts. If you are in this position, someone will give you gifts, but you also have to give them to some people you think are important. That's the only way

, so that the relationship between each other can be more harmonious.

However, Gao Jia knew that the meaning of Lu Yan's visit this time was different from that of other people. The other people came to visit not because of any real reason, but more just to cultivate feelings. The reason why he wanted to give him a gift was because he was from the province.

Now that I have developed a relationship with the secretary of the committee secretary, I may not be able to use this relationship one day.

The meaning of Lu Yan's visit was different. To a certain extent, the relationship between Gao Jia and Lu Yan was that of teachers, friends and brothers. When Lu Yan came to visit him, Gao Jia believed that this was a sincere thank you to him.

When Lu Yan came to Gao Jia's office, Gao Jia happened to have just come out of Xu Richeng's office. When he saw Lu Yan, he quickly shook hands warmly and invited Lu Yan to come in and sit down.

It was still the old practice. After a few pleasantries and some work-related matters, Lu Yan went straight to the point, took out the gift certificate and handed it over: "It's the Chinese New Year, brother, I would like to express my gratitude to the Secretary-General for his continued support.

Points and care.”

"What are you doing?" Gao Jia glanced at the gift certificate in Lu Yan's hand and said with a smile, "How much is your monthly salary to give me such a high-end suit?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "I don't care about high or low, just a little care."

Gao Jia smiled and did not refuse any more, saying that I will accept brother's kindness. It is not rude to return, and brother also has something to give you, so you can help me deal with it.

After saying that, he opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it to Lu Yan. Take this thing with you, maybe it will come in handy at this time.

"What is it?" Lu Yan was a little hesitant and did not take it immediately.

"It's nothing. The card someone sent me is too much and I can't spend it all. You're here just in time. Take it to my house to buy some New Year's goods." Gao Jia didn't hide anything and directly said that the card was sent by someone else.

Lu Yan said forget it, let the secretary-general keep these things for his use. He was here to thank the secretary-general, so how could he take the things belonging to the secretary-general.

But in the end, Lu Yan still couldn't defeat Gao Jia and had no choice but to put the envelope away.

The two of them talked for a while in the office again, and heard some noises in the Standing Committee meeting room at the other end of the corridor. Lu Yan knew that the Standing Committee was about to disperse, so he did not talk to Gao Jia any more and stood up to wait there.

Bring Xu Richeng over.

Xu Richeng walked over with a notebook under his arm, followed by Secretary-General Yu Yongdong, holding Xu Richeng's cup in his hand.

Gao Jia was waiting in the office and hurried out of the office when he heard the sound of footsteps. He opened his office just in time before Xu Richeng arrived, allowing Xu Richeng to enter the office directly without stopping at all.

Lu Yan planned to go to Xu Richeng's house in the evening, so it was best not to let Xu Richeng see him at this time.

Gao Jia and Yu Yongdong followed Xu Richeng into his office. After a while, Gao Jia came out first. Seeing Lu Yan standing there, he asked with a smile: "Boss, are you ready to go in soon?"

Lu Yan stuck out his tongue, made a scared look and said, "I won't go to his place for now. I'll sit down with Secretary-General Yu when he returns to his place later."

Lu Yan was relatively clear about Gao Jia's personality, so he did not hide it and directly told him that he was going to visit Yu Yongdong.

"Okay, Secretary-General Yu always talks about you. If you go to see him, he will be very happy." While speaking, Gao Jia heard the sound of Xu Richeng's door, came out and took a look, turned around and told Lu Yan that Yu Yongdong had already left.

Xu Richeng came out of his office.

Lu Yan was not in a hurry to leave, and chatted with Gao Jia for a few more words. He guessed that Yu Yongdong had gone far, and then came out of Gao Jia's office.

This is how officialdom is, there are many taboo things. And everyone is very particular about how much they should speak in front of them and how much they should handle things. For example, Lu Yan treats Yu Yongdong and Gao Jia

, in front of Gao Jia, he could just say that he was going to visit Secretary-General Yu, but in front of Yu Yongdong, he had to avoid letting him know that he came from Gao Jia.

Just after the Standing Committee meeting, all the Standing Committee members happened to be there, and the practice of the provincial party committee is that each Standing Committee member basically occupies an office floor. So Lu Yan quickly moved the three Standing Committee members, Ma Xiaoming, Wang Haibo, and Yu Yongdong.

All visits are over.

The specific process will not be detailed one by one, but these three people have one thing in common, that is, they are a little surprised that Lu Yan can visit them, but after the surprise, they are even more happy.

At this time, the deep meaning of Lin Zhijie's words came out. What they don't care about is what gifts you give them. They already have everything they need. The key is that they care about your mood.

Lu Yan's initial worries have not come to pass. Without exception, these people all accepted Lu Yan's gifts and asked him to take them to his parents, especially to Lin Zhijie to say hello. They also encouraged Lu Yan's work and expressed their opinions.

If you have anything to coordinate and resolve, you can come to them directly.

When Lu Yan was about to leave, the three of them did not let Lu Yan go back empty-handed. Yu Yongdong took a piece of tea and stuffed it into him. Wang Haibo conveniently took a handbag with it.

Four cartons of cigarettes. Ma Xiaoming’s gift in return was the latest Samsung mobile phone.

People have accepted the things you gave them, and now when they return the gifts to you, you can no longer refuse them. And for them, too many things are a burden. Once the gifts are too many this time, just leave them alone, and you can
