Chapter Fourteen: Paying Attention to Everywhere is Knowledge
As he was walking downstairs, Liu Qifeng remembered something again, so he pretended to be chatting and asked: "Xiao Li, how's your drinking capacity?"
"It's okay. Ordinary guests should be able to stay with me." Li Xiaoning said modestly. He was really being modest, because his drinking capacity could not be described by just "It's okay"? Speaking of which, Li Xiaoning usually
He is not greedy for drinking, but when it comes to the wine table, he has never been drunk in his life. Yang Changqing, a person who refuses to accept anyone, is also convinced of two things about Li Xiaoning, one is gambling skills, and the other is drinking capacity.
.According to Yang Changqing, "The boss must have practiced the Six Meridians Divine Sword. No matter how much wine goes into his stomach, it will turn into water. Anyone who wants to fight with him for wine is simply asking for embarrassment."
"Oh. That's pretty good." Liu Qifeng said as he walked out. The reason why he asked this was because he would definitely have to drink at the dinner, and he wanted to have a general understanding of Li Xiaoning's drinking capacity.
It was because Mao Qiushi had just told him today that Li Xiaoning could not drink, and he wanted to see if Mao Qiushi was telling the truth.
Li Xiaoning was one step behind Liu Qifeng and followed closely. While walking downstairs of the Municipal Party Committee, she called the driver Tang Hui again.
When the two of them walked downstairs, the Audi A6 with the license plate No. 1 of the Municipal Party Committee was already waiting at the door. Li Xiaoning hurriedly took two steps forward, opened the rear door on the right side of the car for Liu Qifeng, and then put his hand on the door frame.
, in case Liu Qifeng hit his head. After Liu Qifeng got in the car, he closed the door, walked quickly to the front, and sat in the passenger seat.
The driver, Tang Hui, was in his thirties. He was tall and thin, with long arms and legs, and big hands and feet. He seemed to be a man of few words. After meeting Liu Qifeng, he didn't say anything to please him. He just said calmly, "
Hello, Secretary Liu." He said nothing again.
After Li Xiaoning sat down, he smiled at Tang Hui first, and then said: "Hello, Master Tang, my name is Li Xiaoning." He did not dare to follow Liu Qifeng and call him Xiao Tang, who was at least ten years older than him.
"Hello." Tang Hui replied politely, still not saying a word more.
"Go to the development zone!" Li Xiaoning said nothing more.
Because it took more than an hour to drive to the development zone, Liu Qifeng slowly leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes shortly after getting in the car, hoping to take the opportunity to sleep.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoning quickly closed the car window, and then whispered to Tang Hui to turn on the heater a little. It was the end of autumn, and it was very comfortable to drive with the window open when you were awake, but you would easily catch a cold when you fell asleep.
Not long after, both Li Xiaoning and Tang Hui felt hot and dry, but looking at Liu Qifeng who was sleeping soundly, they couldn't bear it. No matter how hot it was, they couldn't let the secretary catch a cold.
In fact, Liu Qifeng didn't fall asleep at first. He knew very well what Li Xiaoning did and didn't say it, but he was actually very satisfied with Li Xiaoning in his heart. This was not because Li Xiaoning cared about him, but because of his seriousness and sincerity.
Be careful, if you have these two qualities in the officialdom, you are a talent that can be made and can be cultivated.
In order to relieve the heat, Li Xiaoning looked out the window at the scenery. The autumn in Binhai City is particularly beautiful. The blue sky kisses the clear sea, and the fresh smell of the sea floats over the city. For Binhai, the sea is
A familiar and cordial friend, she embraces this ancient and young city with her broad arms.
Li Xiaoning had never seen the sea before coming to Binhai, but now he likes the feeling of looking at the sea. Every time he looks at the sea, he will have a different mood. Standing on the vast coast, he has had joy and joy.
Sadness, when the sea breeze caresses my face, all the excitement and anxiety gradually calm down with the waves, and my heart becomes quiet.
The sea in Binhai in autumn is different from other seasons. It is deep, clear, and a little lovely. There are no turbulent waves when typhoons come in summer, nor the biting sea breeze in winter. Instead, it is peaceful and soothing.
But how can Li Xiaoning's mood be peaceful and soothing at this moment?
The vibration of the phone pulled Li Xiaoning out of his thoughts. It was a text message - "Should I treat you to dinner tonight?" It turned out to be Cheng Xiaoxi.
Although they work in the same compound, the two of them don't have many opportunities to meet each other. Li Xiaoning still feels very cordial to this alumnus. However, the timing today is obviously not coincidental, so he replied: "I have something to do tonight, let's wait for another day!"
"
After sending the text message, Li Xiaoning thought for a while, fearing that Cheng Xiaoxi would feel uncomfortable, so he sent another text message - "How about I treat you to a midnight snack when I come back tonight?"
Soon Cheng Xiaoxi's text message came back - "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
When the car was approaching the development zone, Li Xiaoning gently woke up Liu Qifeng. He couldn't let the municipal party secretary look like he had just woken up when he got off the car.
The dinner was held at the Kempinski Hotel, the only five-star hotel in the development zone. The door of the building was filled with various green plants and hung with red welcome signs. At this moment, there were already people standing in front of the door waiting to greet them.
There are many officials from the development zones among the municipal party committee secretaries, but most of them are CEOs of major companies. This has always been the case in China. The relationship between government and business has always been inseparable. As long as you are doing business, no matter you
Whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, if you want to make money, you must have your own political friendships. Without friends in the officialdom, business will never last long.
After the car stopped, Li Xiaoning got out of the car first. Without saying hello to those people, he walked directly to the back, opened the door for Liu Qifeng, put his hand on the door frame, closed the door after Liu Qifeng came out, and followed Liu Qifeng in a low-key manner.
behind.
He knew very well that today's protagonist was Liu Qifeng. He was just a follower, and it was not his turn to say hello. What's more, he didn't know these people. Although he once held several large address books, he handed over the municipal party committee and government
He memorized the names of the main leaders of various districts and counties by rote, but he still couldn't match those names with specific people.
In fact, what Li Xiaoning didn't know was that the leaders of the four teams in the development zone were here today. This high-standard welcome ceremony made Liu Qifeng frown. The country has been calling for diligence and frugality, and has repeatedly banned extravagance and waste in welcoming guests.
, isn’t this a crime committed against the wind?
Liu Qifeng felt that it was necessary to strike, so he hurried over to the leader. The middle-aged official who was about to shake hands with him said in a deep voice: "Comrade Yuqiang, tell me, it's you, the district party committee secretary, who can't speak.
Or is it that I, the municipal party committee secretary, have no effect?" Only then did Li Xiaoning realize that this person was Zhang Yuqiang, the district party committee secretary of the development zone.
In fact, Zhang Yuqiang is also very clear about the spirit of the central government's instructions. However, this is Liu Qifeng's first time to participate in activities in lower districts and counties since he took office. There is no precedent to learn from as to what kind of welcome specifications should be used. There is almost no precedent.
All leaders will say hello in advance when they go down, and they are not allowed to greet you. But if they really don't greet you, they will feel that they are not respected and will secretly give you a note. So Zhang Yuqiang weighed it again and again, and decided that instead of letting Liu Qifeng
Leaving a bad impression is worse than being criticized on the spot.
Now he was indeed being criticized, but Zhang Yuqiang could also tell that Liu Qifeng's anger was very gentle, and it sounded like he was joking.
Zhang Yuqiang naturally knew what Liu Qifeng meant, so he quickly lowered his head, bowed his body and said, "It's my fault. I'll report it to the chief."
Liu Qifeng said: "Comrade Yuqiang, what are you going to do? What age are you in? Are you still bowing your head and confessing your guilt? Get up quickly, don't let others see the joke."
The joke in Liu Qifeng's words was even more serious. Zhang Yuqiang could naturally hear it. He straightened up quickly and said with a smile: "What the chief criticized is that I will definitely improve in the future. The dinner is ready, please come in, chief!"
Liu Qifeng walked inside and said, "I have already read the planning report on your high-tech industrial park, and the idea is very good. What I am concerned about is, how is the current progress?"
Zhang Yuqiang puffed up his chest and said: "Our goal is to build a first-class high-tech park in China. We are currently negotiating two major projects. Two major domestic IT companies will build branches here. After the two projects are put into production,
, the annual output value will reach more than 5 billion, and in three years the annual output value will be close to 10 billion. After the entire park is completed, it can stimulate a GDP of nearly 100 billion."
Li Xiaoning remained silent and followed the leaders closely behind Liu Qifeng. Talk less, watch more and do more. This is what Li Xiaoning believes that his current status should abide by. Liu Qifeng talked about business directly as soon as he came up. He didn't care at all.
I don’t think it’s strange that people in any position say what they say. If Liu Qifeng told the leaders of the Development Zone that his family was short-lived as soon as he came in, it would make people feel nondescript, and the authority of the leader would also be completely gone. Not to mention the high-tech industrial park
This project is indeed worthy of attention. It is a project that can drive hundreds of billions of GDP. It is a huge achievement project for any leader. Who doesn’t need it?
He became interested in the mutual titles between Liu Qifeng and Zhang Yuqiang. Liu Qifeng called Zhang Yuqiang "Comrade Yuqiang", which was understandable. As a superior, calling him this way would not only lose his identity, but also make him look amiable;
It is worth pondering that Zhang Yuqiang did not address Liu Qifeng's official position, but "chief". Based on his feeling, Li Xiaoning remembered that this title generally appeared in the army, and the corresponding title was often "little devil".
Thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaoning felt that in this situation, if Zhang Yuqiang called Liu Qifeng "Secretary Liu", it would indeed seem too business-like. Can we infer from this unfamiliar title that Zhang Yuqiang was addressing Liu Qifeng?
What is this kind of gesture of kindness from the municipal party committee secretary who has just moved into Binhai? It seems that this title for leaders is indeed a great knowledge.
