Chapter 120 [Cannot Shooting Incident]

Xu Zida and Gu Jiatong are family friends, so of course he has to give him a face to the public. He specially told Liu Dazhu to arrange a special copy for Xu Zida on Saturday night.

Xu Zida didn't eat it himself. He was in order to entertain the leader. That night, Zhang Yang asked Liu Dazhu to add a few dishes to him, which made Xu Zida feel very proud. After the banquet here, Xu Zida met Zhang Yang who was sending guests away at the door. He happily exchanged greetings with Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang invited him back to have some free drinks. Xu Zida was fine anyway, so he turned around and sat in a private room with Zhang Yang.

Because the store is still very busy, Zhang Yang asked Yu Xiaodong to act as a waiter temporarily, got a few side dishes from the kitchen, opened a bottle of Wuliangye and Xu Zida and started drinking.

Xu Zida didn't drink openly just now. He is usually a person who likes wine. When he met Zhang Yang, a drinker, he was quite in love. Soon a pound of wine had already bottomed out, and Zhang Yang asked Yu Xiaodong to open another bottle.

Xu Zida opened his mouth with a little drunkenness. His topic first mentioned Gu Jiatong. He smiled bitterly and said, "Jiatong hasn't come to Beijing recently, I'm just about to find her."

Zhang Yang was naturally concerned about Gu Jiatong's affairs and whispered: "She's busy business recently and can't get rid of her."

Xu Zida said: "I really don't understand her. I cooperated well with Xuehai, but why did she suddenly withdraw and leave Xuehai there? Recently, Xuehai always complained to me." Xu Zida and Wang Xuehai are old classmates. Gu Jiatong gave up on cooperation midway. Wang Xuehai was full of depression, so he naturally regarded Xu Zida as the object of congratulations and wanted to persuade Gu Jiatong to change his mind through Wang Xuehai.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "We can't control business matters. There is an old saying in China that if you can't make a business, benevolence and righteousness are there. Even if you can't make a business, don't hurt your kindness. I hope you will be friends in the future."

Xu Zida smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, when Jiatong comes to Beijing, I'll be here to join us and ask them to sit together. If you have something you can't figure out in your mind, just talk to me in person. Even if this cooperation is not done, there will always be a chance in the future."

Zhang Yang always reserved Wang Xuehai's character. He believed that Gu Jiatong and such people would be better off staying away from him. He did not want to continue discussing this topic with Xu Zida, but turned to the phenomenon of running officials and giving gifts in the capital at the end of the year.

Xu Zida was not surprised by this. He put down his wine glass and said, "It's like this every year. The end of the year, officials from all over the country will come to Beijing to pay tribute and clear the relationship between all aspects. Your Beijing office is at its busiest time. In fact, most of the officialdoms in the country are like this, the local governments, and the central government is like this. Giving gifts and running relationships may not be able to achieve their goals, but this is a social means after all." Speaking of this, Xu Zida smiled and looked at Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, you don't plan to stay in the Beijing office for the rest of your life, right? You have such a good relationship with Secretary Gu's family. It should be easy to put a practical position in the local area if you want to move."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I have been in the Beijing Office for a long time, but I am nostalgic about this kind of life. If I really want me to leave, I will still be a little reluctant."

Xu Zida shook his head and said, "Dingtian, the director of the county-level office in Beijing, is a section-level cadre. If you want to move up, you must jump out as soon as possible. From section-level to deputy, it seems that it has only been half a level, but you have to know how many people have fallen on this threshold for the rest of their lives, and how many people have been crossing this threshold like a golden scale turning into a dragon soaring into the sky."

Zhang Yang was fascinated by his hearing, thinking that he was already a deputy director. Unfortunately, the deputy director hired by Guoan was unstoppable. According to his current administrative position, he was just a deputy department. His promotion speed within the Chunyang system was already a miracle. But if he placed his deputy department level in Beijing, he would not even be considered an ant. Zhang Daguan said in a realistic manner: "I am the deputy department!"

"No way?" Xu Zida's expression was very surprised. His expression made Zhang Yang feel ashamed and felt incompetent.

Xu Zida said in confusion: "Don't you know how to use it if you have such a relationship?" He remembered that Zhang Yang was Luo Huining's godson. Such an identity and so many relationships were just a small deputy. Is this guy not seeking motivation, or is he lacking the ability to hang out in the officialdom? Zhang Yang really made him feel a little confused.

Gu Yunzhi's itinerary to Beijing was very secretive. He brought his secretary Zheng Wei with him. Gu Jiatong arrived in Beijing with him due to business reasons. Gu Yunzhi did not ask Zheng Wei to notify the Pinghai Provincial Office in Beijing. Before boarding the plane, he asked Gu Jiatong to call Zhang Yang and ask Zhang Yang to go to the airport to pick them up, and this matter should not alarm anyone. Gu Jiatong did not understand why her father made such a decision, but she couldn't ask. As the top leader of Pinghai, it was the most normal thing for her father to ask any Beijing Office in Pinghai Province to come forward for reception.

Zhang Yang was quite flattered. Chunyang's office in Beijing did not have a car. This guy got a military-licensed Audi through Du Tianye's relationship and picked up the provincial party secretary. He could not be too shabby, let alone the provincial party secretary was his future father-in-law.

Because it was raining, the plane landed on the apron for an hour and a half before landing on the apron. Zhang Yang was not familiar with the airport and could only wait at the gate. If it were changed to the Provincial Office in Beijing, the people could drive the car directly.

In fact, even if the Provincial Office in Beijing comes to receive the reception, it will wait outside honestly, because everyone around Gu Yunzhi knows his temper. He is low-key and does not like pomp. If his subordinates do that, he will think that he is deliberately flattering himself, and he will be unhappy. Serving a leader is also a profound knowledge. One leader has the temper of another leader, and flattering must be just right. The principle of being too much or too little applies at all times.

When Zhang Yang saw Gu Yunzhi and his party, he greeted him with a smile on his face and said respectfully: "Hello Secretary Gu!"

Gu Yunzhi smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and Zhang Yang reached out to pick up the luggage in Zheng Wei's hand. Zheng Wei was not polite to him. A small deputy department secretary was obviously nothing in his eyes.

Zhang Yang's eyes met Gu Jiatong. The two of them did not speak, but saw the unforgettable attachment and concern from the depths of each other's eyes.

When he came to the Audi car borrowed by Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang put his luggage in the trunk. Gu Jiatong put his travel bag in and took the opportunity to whisper: "My dad doesn't like pomp!"

Zhang Yang understood and started the car and drove towards Chunyang's Beijing Office.

Zhang Yang said while driving: "Secretary Gu, I have arranged the place to live. I borrowed this car. If you don't mind my driving skills being a little rough, I will be a full-time driver for you these two days."

Gu Yunzhi smiled: "Maybe Jiatong didn't convey what I meant clearly. Xiao Zhang, I'm going to your restaurant for a meal. In the afternoon, I'll go to the Pinghai Beijing Office to avoid you from being uncomfortable and I'm not at ease!"

Zhang Yang laughed.

Secretary Zheng Wei was thinking that Secretary Gu was just conducting a sudden attack this time, and there was no news about coming to Beijing. Looking back, the officials in the Provincial Office in Beijing would be in trouble. He knew the boss's temper. He would definitely do what he wanted to do.

Gu Yunzhi did have plans to launch a sudden attack. Gu Jiatong had told him about the corruption of the Beijing Office. This time he came to Beijing to see with his own eyes what the Beijing Office is doing?

Zhang Yang had asked Yu Xiaodong to arrange the meals in the farmyard in advance, but said that he would receive the VIP at noon, and did not say that the VIP was Gu Yunzhi, the secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee. So when Yu Xiaodong saw Gu Yunzhi get off the car, he was completely confused. She had never received such a large cadre since she came to Chunyang Beijing Office. Until Gu Yunzhi smiled and said hello to her, she realized and stammered: "Hello Gu...Secretary..."

Gu Yunzhi glanced at Zhang Yang and nodded with satisfaction, which proved that Zhang Yang was indeed very obedient and did not spread the news of his coming to Beijing.

Gu Jiatong first invited her father into the private room.

Zhang Yang and Yu Xiaodong came to the kitchen. The dishes were already quite rich. Zhang Yang calculated that there were four people including himself. He waved to Liu Dazhu. Liu Dazhu thought he wanted to tell him to cook with all his heart, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang, I will definitely take out the best level."

Zhang Yang said: "Four dishes and one soup! Think about the farm dishes you are best at, you must have prepared them for me. They must be simple and delicious. If you can't cook them well for me, I will put them in a roll and return to Chunyang in the afternoon."

Liu Dazhu was stunned. It seemed that Director Xiao Zhang had encountered another arduous political task this time. He had to complete it. He touched his bare head and thought for a while and said, "Finish! Look at it!"

The dishes were served, a wild vegetable cake, a stir-fried chili lump, a farm stew, a braised lamb, and a pot of milky white mutton soup.

Gu Jiatong looked at these simple four dishes and thought to herself, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, I asked you to be simple, but it didn't make you so shabby. She whispered: "That's all?"

Zhang Yang nodded and replied with a serious look on his face: "Our standard for entertaining leaders is four dishes and one soup."

Gu Jiatong muttered in a low voice: "Formalism."

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "This is the best, simple, eat, eat!" He didn't drink, so he picked up a wild vegetable cake and ate it. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips and said, "It's very fragrant! I haven't eaten such an authentic farm dish in many years!" After he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Gu Jiatong could tell from his father's expression that Zhang Yang had flattered him this time, and his father was very happy.

Liu Dazhu specially made mixed grain steamed buns and added wild vegetables. These foods were very similar to Secretary Gu's taste. He ate four steamed buns in a row and drank two big bowls of wild vegetables. Although he rarely spoke during the meal, he could tell from his relish expression that he was very satisfied with the food.

Because he didn't drink, lunch ended within an hour. Gu Yunzhi admired the business model of the farmyard and went outside to see the signboard written by Mr. Tianchi.

Zhang Yang took the opportunity to take a photo with Secretary Gu, and asked Secretary Gu to help with the inscription.

Gu Yunzhi was in a good mood today and happily agreed to Zhang Yang's request. After taking a photo with Zhang Yang, he mentioned four big characters - Lunar Newborn. However, Gu Yunzhi's calligraphy is really not satisfactory. Zhang Yang called out two good words in a false way. Given Gu Yunzhi's political cultivation, he still cannot completely put aside the word vanity.

After lunch, Gu Yunzhi went directly to Pinghai Beijing Office. Gu Jiatong went to discuss business. Zhang Yang temporarily acted as a driver and drove Gu Yunzhi to Pinghai Beijing Office.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the Pinghai Beijing Office. The office location of the Beijing Office was Qingjiang Hotel. Gu Yunzhi walked into the hotel lobby. He had been here more than once before, so many staff members had recognized him.

Someone panickedly went to inform the director of Pinghai's Beijing Office, Guo Ruiyang, that Guo Ruiyang was drinking with several Pinghai cadres. At this time, the few people had already drunk too much. When they heard that Gu Yunzhi suddenly appeared, they were all scared to death. Fortunately, Guo Ruiyang couldn't hide, and the two deputy directors went out to do business and the other drank with him. They could only bite the bullet and see Gu Yunzhi.

Gu Yunzhi was sitting in the lobby drinking tea. Secretary Zheng Wei quietly gave Guo Ruiyang a wink. Guo Ruiyang suddenly realized that the arrival was not good and woke up a little bit of alcohol. However, before he could walk to Gu Yunzhi, a strong and pungent smell of alcohol had already passed.

Gu Yunzhi frowned, his face suddenly sank, and he whispered: "When is the time to go to work?"

Guo Ruiyang's tongue was a little bit muffled and said stutteringly: "Gu...Secretary Gu... is here, why didn't we notify us to pick you up..." He saw Zhang Yang standing beside him and immediately understood. He co-notified Chunyang's Beijing Office. Zhang Yang is really hateful. Why am I your superior leader? The provincial party secretary has come here for such a big thing, so you should also reveal some news to me. Isn't you cheating me? After all, he has been working in the Beijing Office for many years, and has been used to the wind and waves, and has been mentally prepared for various emergencies. He sorted out his thoughts and said: "Secretary Gu...I'm in hospitality." The main job of the Beijing Office is to entertain, and it is impossible to blame for the reception if you have to drink two more glasses.

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Who are you entertaining? What important leader asked you to entertain until now?" He looked at the wall clock in the lobby and said, "It's past three o'clock, and you should have already started working in the provincial party committee." In fact, his words were indeed a bit harsh. The Beijing Office is a special unit, and drinking is their job.

Guo Ruiyang's inner activities are extremely complicated at this moment. In his opinion, Gu Yunzhi would not do this for no reason. It must be because his actions in some aspects made him dissatisfied. He suddenly thought about Liang Tianzheng. Could it be that it was because Liang Tianzheng was too close to him when he came to Beijing last time. This incident spread to Secretary Gu through Gu Jiatong? The more Guo Ruiyang thought about this, the greater the possibility. Although he was in Beijing, he had heard a little about the conflict between Gu Jiatong and Liang Chenglong, and also heard some news that Gu Yunzhi was dissatisfied with Liang Tianzheng because of the plot of Dongjiang Textile Department Store. The reason why he was able to serve as the director of Pinghai's Beijing Office was that Secretary Gu valued him. Although Liang Tianzheng was a member of the provincial standing committee, after all, he was the secretary of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee, and his reception of him was obviously inappropriate. The more Guo Ruiyang thought about it, the more he regretted it. He was negligent, and he still made the boss unhappy.

Gu Yunzhi did not intend to let him go, and seemed to be careless: "Who are you receiving?"

Guo Ruiyang was speechless for a moment.

Gu Yun knew: "Are there any comrades I know? Call me out and know me!"

Guo Ruiyang could only answer honestly: "Director Liu of the Department of Finance and Director An of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission!"

Gu Yunzhi laughed: "The Beijing Office is so busy!" After saying that, he stood up and said: "I want to go to the State Council to report some situations. You can arrange a car to take me away!"

When Guo Ruiyang saw that Gu Yunzhi finally stopped pursuing him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his head was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly arranged for someone to prepare, and asked Gu Yunzhi to go upstairs to rest.

Seeing that there was nothing he had done here, Zhang Yang also said goodbye to Gu Yunzhi. As soon as he got out, Guo Ruiyang chased after him. He patted Zhang Yang's car window. Zhang Yang fell down the glass and smiled helplessly: "Director Guo, don't blame me. Secretary Gu suddenly came to me. You know, my small temple can't tolerate this great Bodhisattva at all. I am a victim like you."

Guo Ruiyang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, next time we can call us when we go to the bathroom, I'll beg you as brother!" He realized that Director Xiao Zhang was the celebrity in front of Gu Yunzhi. Today, as long as he wants to remind himself, there must be a way. We can't blame him, but we just blame him for not having a good relationship with him.

Zhang Yang swears: "Director Guo, don't worry, I will notify you if there is such a thing next time!"

Looking at the Audi car going away, Guo Ruiyang gritted his teeth and cursed: "The villain is successful!"

Zhang Yang's mood has improved a lot because of Gu Jiatong's arrival. They have not had a good talk since the incident in Dongjiang. Zhang Yang doesn't know if Wei Zhicheng has continued to cause trouble and whether it has caused trouble to Gu Jiatong.

Gu Jiatong was obviously much more cautious than in the past. After handling the business in the afternoon, she returned to Chunyang Beijing Office and took a look at the recent accounts. Yu Xiaodong is very good at doing things and has managed the hotel in an orderly manner during the time she left Beijing. Gu Jiatong's original intention of opening a farmyard was to spend more time with Zhang Yang. Now the hotel's profits exceed expectations, which is indeed an unexpected surprise.

Zhang Yang also knew the importance of avoiding suspicion. Although this is Beijing, if someone catches a handle, it will still be transmitted to Pinghai. When he returned to Chunyang Beijing Office, Gu Jiatong had already reviewed the accounts and was about to leave with her green beetle.

Zhang Yang leaned over, Gu Jiatong looked around, and then whispered: "I have something to do. Let's talk about it when I get home tonight. I'll cook for you!" After that, she hurriedly left.

Zhang Yang shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that the shadow brought to Gu Jiatong by the last incident still had not dissipated. He was really afraid of the ropes by being bitten by a snake for ten years. Gu Jiatong now talked to him and didn't even dare to look at him directly. Zhang Daren returned to his office with the confirmed accounts and wanted to report to Zhang Yang about the recent income of the Beijing Office. Zhang Yang felt a big head when he saw the numbers and smiled: "I said to Sister Yu, just take care of these small matters, don't show them to me, I can't understand them even if I show them to me."

Yu Xiaodong sat down opposite Zhang Yang, looking at Zhang Yang with beautiful eyes.

Zhang Yang was a little scared from the bottom of her heart by seeing him. She shouldn't have any thoughts about him? Zhang Daren is well aware of the principle that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. Although Yu Xiaodong is a sexy beauty, he can always control his position and stay away from her.

Yu Xiaodong's proud peaks almost landed on the table.

Zhang Yang said: "Sister Yu, if you have something to say, don't look at me like that, I'm shy!"

Yu Xiaodong sneered! He laughed: "You will also know how shy you are! That's what... I just want to tell you that now the end of the year, will our Beijing Office also receive some welfare benefits?"

Zhang Yang thought she had something big. If she had been granted by her superiors in the past, such things would have to be a little bit of brain-sought, but now with a farmyard, this kind of thing is relatively easy. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, it's the end of the year, and we'll give some of the year-end bonuses, so we'll pay some. You can do the specific amount, but you should try to keep this as confidential as possible. If it's spread, it won't have a good impact."

Yu Xiaodong had already considered this matter and said softly: "I have considered it. You are our leader. The tertiary industry is in full swing. You make great contributions. If you get two thousand, everyone else will be one thousand."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Don't let me go, I won't be special. Besides, I don't need to spend money at all. Let's do this. Everyone is two thousand. Our Beijing Office has not many staff members anyway. The petition office is also considered a copy. Remember to keep it confidential. If it is spread, good things will turn into bad things."

Yu Xiaodong went out happily. You should know that in this era, it is already a great thing to be able to pay one or two hundred yuan in the year. Director Xiao Zhang is indeed very happy, and his export is only 2,000 yuan.

Just as Yu Xiaodong left, the phone at Zhang Yang’s desk rang. He picked up the phone, but Xing Chaohui, who had disappeared for a while.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Dr. Xing! Do you have to take care of my business again?"

Xing Chaohui seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed and said, "I will never go to your black store unless I invite me to spend money."

"You said you are also a senior leader, how can you speak and do things so stingy!"

"The country's money is also money, so you can't be so dark!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I remembered that you said this. It's the end of the year. I am also an employee of yours, the deputy director-level staff member, so I'm going to be very impressed at the end of the year."

"No problem, you're bound to be the year-end bonus of 200 yuan!"

"So generous!" Zhang Yang's words were sarcastic.

Xing Chaohui whispered: "I want to meet you tonight and I will tell you if I have something to do!"

Zhang Yang frowned and looked up at the time. It was already half past five. He made an appointment with Gu Jiatong in the evening, so he naturally couldn't find time. He refused without hesitation: "Let's go another day! I have something tonight!"
To be continued...
