In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Yan received instructions from Zhang Siwen, saying that the bidding company he had contacted in Qinan City was coming and asked him to receive it. (.Pure text)
After receiving the instruction, Yu Yan quickly contacted Baosheng Hotel. As expected, the private rooms at night were very tight and there were no empty rooms.
"He's Secretary Zhang's guest, coming from the province." Yu Yan had no choice but to move out the big Bodhisattva behind him, and then he moved to another room.
But the lobby manager over there didn't really buy it. Before he put down the phone, he muttered, "Secretary Yu, you have to order food in advance in the future."
Yu Yan had no choice but to think, who could make the plan fail to keep up with the changes? He felt inexplicably resistant to the company that was coming to accompany the bidder.
In today's era of banquets, according to the general rules for entertaining guests, even if you invite ordinary clerks in the agency to have a meal, you should follow the advance reservation procedure to make sure that the guest is available, then reserve the hotel, and then notify the guests one by one.
At what time on a certain day, I was waiting for you in a certain hall of a certain hotel.
Therefore, if you do not greet the hotel before treating guests, the person in charge of the hotel will be very embarrassed. There is no other way, because for your arrangement, someone has to sacrifice.
After everything was arranged, Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the secretary's office and briefly reported the activities arranged for the evening.
Zhang Siwen, who was reading the document, lowered his head and listened to Yu Yan's narration. He did not comment or disagree, but just nodded his head expressionlessly to show that he understood. After a while, he saw Yu Yan still standing in front of him.
It seemed that he was stunned now, shook his head and said with a smile, "Pang Zhiguo is my best friend in the provincial capital. We are closer than brothers. In the future, when he comes to Antai, if I am not available or absent, you will be fully responsible for receiving him."
Arrange it as if I was here." After that, he continued to read his documents.
Yu Yan felt that Zhang Siwen was not joking, and there was no hypocrisy in the scene, so he replied seriously, "Don't worry, I will receive you even more hospitably than when you were here."
At the same time, Yu Yan was even more curious about the upcoming friend from Qin Nan. Zhang Siwen was not like some officials who liked to make friends indiscriminately, and even made friends with some people from various religions. He was very cautious in making friends, so his circle of friends
Seems relatively narrow.
"In this world, the relationships between people can be roughly divided into several categories: relatives who are related by blood, classmates who have crossed paths at some time or point in life, colleagues, fellow travelers, and business partners with interests.
, competitors, allies, only friends with pure feelings and no interests.
Relatives are arranged by God, or even destined in the past life, and you have no right to choose; classmates and colleagues are just passers-by, and you can stay or go at will; interested parties are equivalent to doing business, either intrigues or mutual benefits and win-win, the transaction is over
Goodbye...Friends are not so easy to get, nor can they be defined casually.
Many people like to talk about friends. When they meet someone and say a few words to someone, they feel like they are in love with each other. They immediately put their arms around each other and call each other friends. In fact, within a few minutes, because of
If we can't talk about something together, or due to some inconsistency in interests, we will immediately fall out, make bad remarks to each other, and then stop communicating with each other.
Therefore, true friends are not dominated by interests or disturbed by worldly affairs. They can withstand the wind and rain and the stormy waves; true friendship is like water and wine, like an umbrella in the rain and an umbrella in the snow.
There is no need to express too much about the charcoal, and there is no need to label it deliberately. To put it simply, friends are known by heart and know by spirit. They are the complement of yin and yang, hardness and softness, and they are the perfect combination of red flowers and green leaves... It is for this reason that Mr. Lu Xun has
Sigh - You have found a close friend in life, and everyone in the world should cherish him."
——This text is excerpted from an article written by Zhang Siwen, titled "Friends". Among the essays he wrote, it is considered a relatively proud one.
After Yu Yan followed him, he immediately copied this article and put it under the desk in his office, intending to study and ponder over it when he had free time. He hoped that through this type of article, he could become familiar with Zhang Siwen as a person and his friends.
circle.
After following him for a while, Yu Yan gradually discovered that it is indeed very difficult and very few to become a secretary's friend. Usually, secretaries are known for being humble and easy-going, but often it is this kind of humble leader who looks very humble on the inside.
It is so deep that it is definitely not accessible to ordinary people, even close relatives.
Around him, many people, for various motives, tried every means to get close to him, hoping to have a close relationship with him, connect with him, and become confidants, but very few people could actually do this. In the officialdom of Antai, he was very interested in him.
**, the directors and chairmen of the CPPCC are also very respectful, and get along politely and friendly with the Standing Committee members and colleagues in the government team. Even for the directors, directors, and division chiefs in charge of the departments, they are strict to strict, serious to serious, and treat each other with dignity.
There is also a lot of harmony between them, and there is rarely any bossiness or arrogance.
All these performances can only show that he is a well-educated official who understands people and the world. His many years of experience and lessons in working in provincial and municipal agencies do not allow him to make small mistakes because of some trivial matters. Cautious and low-key results
, because everyone thinks highly of him, and his reputation in the agency has always been very good.
However, it is difficult to find out which officials he has a particularly close relationship with, who can be called friends and confidants. What’s more, if they are officials in the same place, they will inevitably live in different hills and circles, and there is no way to escape from the direct relationship.
Or indirect interest relationship, naturally it is not in the category of Zhang Siwen's ideal friends.
As far as Yu Yan's daily observation knows, Zhang Siwen generally rarely involves relationships with classmates, old friends, and hometown friendships. Whether it is classmates in middle school, college, or old colleagues in the teachers' college, even if he is a fellow villager from his hometown, he has something to do with him.
Please try your best to do as you are told. If you want to talk, it will be long and short. If you don’t talk, it will be short. At most, you can spend some time with me to entertain you. You should never sit down and slowly reminisce about old memories.
Comparatively speaking, the only two people who have a relatively close relationship are Wang Quanqi and Liu Xiangdong. Of course, now the mysterious figure Pang Zhiguo is added.
Yu Yan is a person who understands the rules. Without Zhang Siwen's permission or instruction, under normal circumstances, he never takes the initiative to get involved in the leadership circle, nor does he inquire about the relationship between anyone and the secretary. This is due to his own quality, which shows that
He is an excellent secretary, but also wants to avoid causing trouble to himself.
Chen Qin, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, used to have a secretary who had a habit of being a meddlesome person. He liked to chase and get into the leader's circle of friends no matter what. As a result, he got involved in a scandal that he shouldn't know about, and was suddenly rushed to the suburbs to work as a community civil affairs officer.
Assistant. Therefore, many times the more things you know, especially things you shouldn't know, trouble will follow you like a devil or a ghost.
So, what about Yu Yan himself? Can he be regarded as a friend of Zhang Siwen? Yu Yan can still be sure about this. In terms of his usual self-feeling, he feels that he should be regarded as a close relative of Zhang Siwen, even though
Not a hard-core friend, but at least a confidant and confidant. He even felt that sometimes he and Zhang Siwen were like father and son, without so much estrangement due to work affiliation.
Normally, the two of them spend much more time together than anyone else, even Zhang Siwen's family. They also say more to each other than to anyone else, including many things that should not be said to others.
private words.
There are many things between them that are unguarded, and the tacit understanding they form cannot be achieved by others. The most intuitive manifestation is that whenever Zhang Siwen is happy or unhappy, he needs to share it with Yuyan, vent it, or shut him up.
Menlai told him something very important, and the catchphrase he often used was, "You kid, you can't go wrong by following me." Every time he heard this, Yue Yan would be extremely excited without exception.
Although he was very clear about his position, Yu Yan still couldn't figure out what Pang Zhiguo was about. Who was he as a secretary?
Feeling puzzled, Yu Yan left the office early, came to the hotel in advance, decided on the menu, tobacco and alcohol, and even signed his name on the list in advance, then sat in the box and ordered a cup of tea before eating.
After more than an hour, I just took the opportunity to take a rest.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the handsome hotel front desk manager came in. They were all acquaintances, so the manager didn’t say much. He sat down and asked, “Secretary Yuda, is the hotel’s new manager?
I bought a batch of good Longjing, it’s a special product that the owner of the production area supplies exclusively to Zhongnanhai, do you want to get some for you?”
Yu Yan smiled and said, "No, your special special product must be very expensive. How can I, a young civil servant, afford it?"
The manager also laughed and said, "Why don't you drink this? A pound of tea is only 2,500 yuan, which is not even half a table of meals. A few days ago, Mayor Wu's secretary was entertaining guests here, wasn't it?
I took two kilograms and left."
Yu Yan did not answer the question, but pointed to the tea in the cup and joked to himself, "I only dare to taste tea that costs ten yuan a cup."
When the manager saw that his words were unreasonable, he said nothing more and withdrew in a dignified manner.
In fact, Yu Yan knew the purpose of the female front desk manager's visit just now. This Baosheng Hotel is nominally in charge of the government, but in fact it has already been contracted and operated, and many projects such as catering, guest rooms, saunas, karaoke bars and other departments are divided into
The contracts were given to the managers of various departments. The front desk manager who came just now contracted the business center. She contracted the cigarettes, wine, tea, and gifts.
Most of the people who can serve as department managers or above in the Antai Hotel are related to important officials in the city, and some even rely on a powerful leader at a higher level. The purpose of the contract is not to improve the service level, but to make people more comfortable.
These connected people can legitimately reap more benefits.
