When he saw Cao Long again, Fei Chai almost didn't recognize him at first glance. This was not because Cao Long had changed his shape in less than a year, but because of his temperament, tone of voice, and even his smile.
His voice is completely different from before. In the past, he still had the temperament of a teacher, but now he is an official.
When Cao Long came, Fei Chai was chatting in the study, naturally with Qin Lan. Qin Lan was complaining that he didn't go to see her when he came back to Nanquan. Fei Chai just apologized but didn't find a reason. Qin Lan said again: "It's really a treacherous world. I heard
When you came back, you suggested to Zhang Peng and a few leaders that we should get together with you, but they always used the excuse of 'busy for a few days, but not for a few days', which I think is just for people to leave."
Fei Chai actually had this thought in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise he would appear to be not broad-minded enough, so he changed the subject with a smile and talked about something interesting. At this moment, Xiaomi knocked on the door and reported, "Uncle Cao is here." Fei Chai said
As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Cao Long put down his tea cup quickly, stood up from the sofa, smiled and shook hands with him tightly. After a while, he let go and said, "Oh, I see you again."
Fei Chai thought to himself: Is it difficult to see me? But his expression remained unchanged and he asked him to sit down again. Lao You asked his wife to get the fruit again, and Cao Long was polite as usual.
The two sides sat down again, and Fei Chai asked directly: "What? There are so many things to do in post-disaster reconstruction, how come you have time to see me, an idle person?"
"Hey, my old leader." Cao Long said as if he had bumped into Tian Qu: "Actually, I've wanted to see you for a long time. If nothing else, just because of our personal relationship, we have to have a drink together, right?"
It’s just that someone has already warned you not to disturb you.”
Fei Chai said with a smile: "I am just an idle person now, so why bother me?"
Cao Long said: "This..." He said very carefully. "That's it. Mayor Cai and Mayor Fan know you very well and know that you don't like the officialdom, so they told you to let you go first."
After I come back, I will be quiet for a few days without disturbing you, and then get all my old friends together to have a good time. It’s just that it’s really hard to arrange this time, after all, everyone has a lot of things to do.”
As soon as he said this, Fei Chai felt a lot better for some reason. People are most afraid of being forgotten. Once you find that others have not forgotten you, your mood will immediately improve. What's more, Fei Chai originally
It wasn't very scheming. But he still deliberately said: "Haha, thank you all so much. In fact, if everyone is busy, it doesn't matter. No matter what, work is the most important thing."
"Of course." Cao Long said, "But old friends and brothers can't be slow. In fact, I've wanted to get together with you for a long time. Last time, Meimei also talked about me, saying that she usually likes to be with a group of people.
Are you just bragging? Why don't you make any move now that my brother is back? Did you hear that, she is closer to you than to me now."
Lao You smiled and interjected: "That is, after all, our family's godfather. Speaking of which, this child is really good. It's just..."
Fei Chai smiled and didn't continue talking about this topic. Cao Long is an out-and-out officialdom animal. Don't take anything he says to try to establish friendship seriously. You have to rely on yourself to see how 'good' he and Zhao Mei are.
The feeling, and everyone, no matter how you say it, is a family.
"Originally, the two mayors meant to bring everyone together. The more people there are, the more lively it will be." Cao Long continued to talk about their plan. "But your popularity is so good. When it comes to choosing a day, it must be
We couldn't get together, so we went around the old way and followed the system first. The climax was Mayor Cai and Mayor Fan plus a group of our old friends. Your old unit, the Bureau of Land Supervision, was the finale."
Upon hearing this, Fei Chai hurriedly asked: "What? It can't be finished in one day?"
Cao Long said with a smile: "Looking at what you said, you are now a newcomer, and then you are getting promoted and going to training. How can you just forget about these things together? But you don't need to worry about the whole thing.
Everyone is cooking, just come and see me when the time comes."
Lao You added: "Tip, it's normal for people to come and drop off. Don't think it's a burden. It's all our concern." Looking at him like that, he wished he could pay for the firewood himself.
Mrs. You saw it and said, "Look at you, you are more anxious than anyone else."
Cao Long turned around and said with a smile: "Haha, actually I am here to invite two old people this time. Oops, this still doesn't make sense, so I asked Lao Fei to bring all his family members. Let's have a good time and have fun."
." After saying that, he turned around, took a look, and asked again: "Oh, why didn't you see Yang Yang?"
Fei Chai said: "The company of one of her classmates is not doing well, and her mother is sick again. She is helping out in the old district."
Cao Long said with a smile: "Oh, you are young and promising. You just started a company right out of school. What a talented person."
Fei Chai said: "What kind of talent? The company left by my father was killed in the earthquake. He was mainly engaged in hotel consumables. He was young, inexperienced and didn't agree with the company's elders. Come on, praise me."
Cao Long said: "If his goods are of good quality, you can send a salesperson to the joint school to talk about it. Enrollment will increase in the new semester, and several companies have already approached me. If his goods are of good quality,
We have a good relationship with each other because they are high quality and low price, so I can give them priority, which can be regarded as supporting the entrepreneurial orphans of the earthquake."
Fei Chai couldn't help but feel happy when he saw him taking the initiative to say this, and said: "Then I will pull the strings. The specific matter depends on how they negotiate. Of course, the most important thing is quality. Haha."
Cao Long said with a smile: "Anyway, these things have to be purchased. Of course, we are trying to take care of our own people. Don't you know? During this post-disaster reconstruction, merchants from all over the country have flocked in, treating our place as a big treasury."
Well, of course we have to think of ways to take care of our own people."
Lao You nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise all the money would have been made by outsiders."
Old Mrs. You said: "You can't say that. When we were hit by a disaster, people still donated money to rescue us."
Seeing that the two old men were about to fight again, Fei Chai said with a smile: "Business is all about fair competition. If his things are good and cheap, then we won't let go of the cheap ones."
Cao Long also quickly said: "That's right, what I just said is that under the same conditions, we take care of our own people. Oh, by the way, the Bureau of Finance, this sub-system congratulates you on your promotion and practice. Our education system takes the lead."
.”
Fei Chai was stunned: "Tonight?"
Cao Long said: "Yes, we still feel that we are at a disadvantage. Mayor Cai suddenly made such a decision. We were all caught off guard and not well prepared."
Fei Chai thought that he would definitely have to go tonight, so he said: "Why are you not well prepared? I still have a lot of affection for the cultural, educational and health system in our district. As long as I can see people, I feel comfortable."
Cao Long said: "Then I'm relieved if you say that. I think so, you guys should make preparations first. I have to go back and make arrangements. Don't drive tonight. I will make all the arrangements for coming and going."
"
Fei Chai thanked him and then sent Cao Long out. When he came back, Lao You said happily: "I just said, you are going to be trained and promoted soon, and they don't dare to let you go!"
But Fei Chai said without changing his face: "I thought I could avoid this kind of social interaction. I'm going to drink again tonight, so I'll go back to my room to rest for a while." After that, he went upstairs and fell down when he returned to the bedroom.
In bed, that feeling in my heart is neither joy nor joy.
It wasn’t sadness. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t laugh. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t shed tears. So I rolled over on the bed with my pillow in my arms. It was a vent, but I still didn’t finish it. Finally, he said to himself:
"It would be great if there was a woman now!"
In this way, people were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep if they wanted to, but they didn't want to go downstairs, so they spent time in the bedroom. At about 4:30 in the afternoon, the district government sent a car, and the driver was Fei Chai.
The acquaintance has now become a regular official, he has become a lot fatter, and he is even more humble towards Fei Chai.
"Didn't you mean to have dinner, so early?" Fei Chai said even though he was ready to go out.
The driver smiled and said: "Everyone can't wait to see you. To be honest, we have been waiting for two weeks."
Fei Chai smiled and said, "I'm not a big star, so I can't wait any longer?"
The driver said: "To Nanquan, you are more famous than ten celebrities."
Fei Chai smiled, and then said to Lao You and his wife: "Dad, Mom, let's go. Where is Xiaomi?"
Lao You hesitated to speak, but Mrs. Lao You said: "We will not get involved in such occasions. This is what you should go to."
Fei Chai said: "What are you meddling with? You are my family, and family members should be together."
Old Mrs. You said: "My family is not together 24 hours a day, and what you are doing is actually official business, so our family members will not get involved."
The driver interrupted and said, "Actually, it's not official business anymore. It's just a gathering of some old colleagues who used to do official business."
At this time, Lao You said a little insincerely: "Haha, actually, I am old and don't want to move. You go, you go."
When Fei Chai saw Xiaomi coming down from upstairs, he said, "Xiaomi, tell your grandparents and let's go play together."
Xiaomi said: "I'm not going. It's not fun. It's just a bunch of people drinking together. It's not interesting at all." After saying that, she leaned against her grandma, and the old lady hugged her.
Fei Chai smiled at the driver and said, "Okay, let's go."
Although Yunshan District, as the new urban area of Nanquan City, is the focus of attention and the construction speed is very fast, Fei Chai still did not expect that such a luxurious restaurant has been built in such a short period of time. The first two
I heard from the local news that there are still residents who have not been able to move out of their prefabricated houses.
.However, he is neither in his position nor pursuing political affairs, and this occasion is not suitable for him to talk about these things. Now he can just continue the excitement and indulge in luxury. Anyway, after one year of training, it is still unknown where he will be assigned.
After passing this village, there may not be this shop in the future.
