The man tossed his hair back, put his hands in his pockets, and climbed up slowly. Ren Zhiqian hurriedly greeted him, and said with an attentive smile: "Brother Ji, please come in quickly!"
The man ruffled his hair coolly, without looking at Wu Jiangkai and the others, and said with a Beijing accent: "You just came from the Ministry of Agriculture's Family Home, do you know Minister Zhao? Oops! That enthusiastic one! You insist on letting me stay for dinner. , he had already asked his secretary to book a meal at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, but I thought about your business, so I rushed over here."
Wu Jiangkai almost spat out the tea he drank after hearing the man's unbridled bragging. Seeing this, Shen Tong hurriedly handed over the napkin to avoid embarrassment.
Ren Zhiqian seemed to be used to it, and echoed: "Brother Ji is a busy man, everyone knows this, otherwise it would be more difficult to meet you than to meet the Prime Minister. I really thank Brother Ji for taking the time to support me today, and I will open up and drink tonight." It’s rounded.”
Then he introduced Wu Jiangkai: "Secretary Wu, this is He Ji, a famous painter in Beijing. He is called Brother Ji in the circle." After such an introduction, Wu Jiangkai didn't know how to call him. A county party committee secretary would never As for calling him Brother Ji, he just nodded slightly to show friendship.
After Ren Zhiqian introduced Wu Jiangkai to He Ji, he didn't even raise his eyelids. In his eyes, the secretary of the county party committee was worse than the gatekeeper of the national ministries. He smiled coldly as a greeting.
He Ji is only in his 30s at most. His most outstanding feature is that he is thin. From his face to his body, there is almost no trace of fat. He is so thin that he is almost frail. Especially his cheeks are deeply sunken. Paired with long hair, it looks like a mop leaning against the door.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Shen Tong took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to He Ji. He Ji picked it up, looked at it, threw it away, took out a box of Zhongnanhai from his pocket and said, "We people in the capital only smoke Zhongnanhai! It doesn't taste good. Chong, it’s so honorable.”
Wu Jiangkai had already made a preliminary judgment on this person's appearance, but now his words made him even more disgusted. How can you be so contemptuous of a dignified county party committee secretary? What on earth does Ren Zhiqian want? The displeasure has already appeared on his face.
Ren Zhiqian said quickly: "Brother Ji, what are you drinking tonight?"
"Are you done? Then xo, I can't get used to drinking anything else." He Ji crossed his legs and said easily while smoking a cigarette.
After a while, the wine was brought. Shen Tong used to hear other people talking about xo and Remy Martin. Today was the first time he saw it, but that was it. But after hearing the price, he was surprised and speechless.
After the wine was filled, Ren Zhiqian introduced: "Secretary Wu, Shen Tong, and Brother Ji's paintings are among the best in the capital. Now those who invite him to paint will wait in line until the year after next. Brother Ji also said, If the bid is less than 6 figures, then there is no need to negotiate." As Ren Zhiqian spoke, He Ji raised his neck and tasted the wine proudly.
Ren Zhiqian continued: "Brother Ji has nothing to say about painting. The most admirable thing is that he is a serious relative of the emperor. When it comes to this, let Brother Ji talk about it."
Hearing that he was asked to talk about his family background, He Ji immediately got excited, put down his crossed legs, put out the cigarette butt in his hand, his eyes were shining, he sat upright and prepared to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, he turned to Ren Zhiqian and asked: "Is this What is it called?"
"Secretary Wu!"
"Oh, Angkor." He Ji did not call Secretary Wu, but used a trick in the world. He said: "Speaking of my family background, there are many things to say. My ancestor is Zhenghuang Banner Heshe. Li Shi, my ancestors are the famous Right Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, Lie Zhining, the prince of Jinyuan County, the more famous Sony of the Shunzhi Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, Suo'etu of the Kangxi Dynasty, Chang Fei of the Daoguang Dynasty, and the Tongzhi Dynasty. The Imperial Concubine Yu is a well-known figure. If I were in the Qing Dynasty, I would be an out-and-out descendant of the Zhenghuang Banner, a relative of the emperor and the country...!"
Ren Zhiqian added: "The Chinese characters for 'Hesheli' are mostly named 'He', 'He', 'He', etc."
"Yes, yes, that's the origin of my surname." He Ji said proudly, with the glory on his face extremely bright, as if he had returned to the Qing Dynasty, holding a birdcage and swaggering around Houhai Lake.
Wu Jiangkai and Shen Tong looked at each other and tried to laugh but couldn't, so they had to cover their mouths with their hands and listen to the smooth-tongued "Kanye" continue to "brag".
He Ji tossed his hair, took a sip of wine and said: "I won't mention the past, it's all in the old calendar. There is a courtyard in Di'anmen that was left by our ancestors, but now it's all nationalized If it were mine, I would be rich by now. According to the current housing prices in Beijing, as soon as the courtyard is demolished, I will suddenly become a multi-millionaire. At that time, why should I still be painting every day? I am popular all day long. Drink spicy food, pick up beautiful women and drive sports cars, and open up the flowers. I can’t spend them all in my life, what a taste! Tsk tsk!”
Pulling back from his imagination to reality, He Ji still showed his superiority. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin arms like a rolling pin and said: "Brother Angkor, let me tell you, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present. , I’m not bragging, you go out to inquire, no matter which street you walk on, as long as you tell me my name, you will definitely buy it! Although I am not a relative of the emperor now, you know the circle in which I move. I'll scare you to death if I tell you. My activity circle is a group of children of high-ranking officials. Everyone is open to play every day. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. They have a lot of famous cars and sports cars, and they live a very chic life."
"You can just call me a buddy. I won't mention his specific name. I can only tell you that his grandfather was once a member of the Politburo. His father is still an official to the top. His whole family basically plays politics and wants to If you don't have a state-owned enterprise or a ministry, you can make a living wherever you go. My buddy is never short of money. Do you know how they make money?" He Ji looked at Wu Jiangkai mysteriously, especially when he saw their blank faces, he felt very sad. Feeling proud.
"If people don't rely on their parents or relatives, they just make money by getting approval documents. Hey! What do you call your province?"
"Dongjiang Province." Ren Zhiqian said.
"Yes! Just your Dongjiang Province. If your province wants to build a highway, you must first submit an application to the National Development and Reform Commission, right? Hey! At this moment, if the National Development and Reform Commission approves it, the approval document will be in the hands of my buddy. Let that Isn’t it my buddy who has the final say when it comes to the company?”
Wu Jiangkai didn't know much about the life circle of the children of high-ranking officials, but what He Ji said today, no matter whether it was based on rumors or not, it at least showed that these children are using the power in the hands of their parents to constantly reach out to the political and business circles, becoming a A tool for making money.
