Chen Taizhong and the other three were drinking and chatting in the private room. Suddenly the door was pushed open and Liu Shuancui walked in with a smile. Director Liu, even though he was drinking with Director Chen, he didn't even say a word to me. "Huh? The director is here too, ha."
, it’s really disturbing.”
"Hello, Director Shuankui," Na Pali nodded calmly. He was a thoughtful person. Although he had only been here for a short time, he could memorize so many phone numbers. It was normal to recognize the director of the Labor Department.
But that's it.
He answered like this, but his body did not move. It was not until he saw the other person walking towards him that he stood up unhurriedly and shook hands with the other person, with an obvious perfunctory smile on his face, "
Haha, I'm just a division chief, not a director."
Liu Shuancui is also knowledgeable when he is called this. Generally speaking, the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary always has to be the deputy director of the office of the provincial party committee general office, which is at the level of the nose department. At the moment, Na Pali is just a general director.
long.
Therefore, his half-joking and half-serious address is just an advance reservation for this position. Not only does it mean a little bit of flattery, but it also avoids getting worried about meeting villains. The level of the director is hard to say.
The rank of the director is very important. Who knows if the director will care if others point out his identity as director?
But with the caution of the director, how could he be called this? Of course he had to make corrections, and he got up at the right time, fully interpreting the reserve and caution of the provincial party secretary and secretary, and using a well-behaved response,
His attitude of keeping a distance was clearly demonstrated.
Standing up, sitting down, there is only so much knowledge. If he stands up early, it seems unstable. You must know that he represents the image of Meng Yi. If he stands up late or does not stand, it will inevitably appear arrogant.
After all, the other party is the head of the provincial department, and in terms of officialdom, he is only a division-level cadre.
Liu Shuangkui also secretly praised the other party's reaction in his heart, and nodded with a smile, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Director, I've always wanted to ask Secretary Meng to come to the Labor Department to guide the work, but Secretary Meng is too busy. Do you have any?"
Any good suggestions?”
As he was talking here, the waiter on the side came over to prepare the dishes and put the napkins for him, looking like he was forcefully stuffing them. This is no wonder for the waiter. This is the designated reception place of the Labor Department. Who doesn't know the boss of the Labor Department?
"After a while of busy work, it will be easy to say." Na Pali replied calmly. This answer was the same as no. Who knows how long "this period" will be? How can "it's easy to say" mean it's easy to say?
Even though Liu Shuankui had been through a lot of ups and downs, he was a little depressed by the director's nonsensical answer, but fortunately, he had other preparations. "Director Chen, I heard that the Phoenix Office in Europe will be inaugurated soon.
?”
"Yes." Chen Taizhong nodded, thinking that this guy has good information. However, if you want to participate, you still need some qualifications. "We have invited some provincial leaders and central leaders. It is just a simple ceremony."
When Na Pali heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Shuancui and said to himself that this was an internal matter within Tiannan. Boss Meng couldn't even come forward, so why are you messing around?
"I wonder if you are still short of people?" Liu Shuancui asked with a smile, "I have a nephew who has learned four foreign languages, English, French, Japanese and German. Now he has graduated and can't find a job in Beijing.
, and he also said he wanted to go back to Bikong. I think it would be a pity for him to come back after what he has learned in the past few years."
In fact, when Director Liu came in, he didn't tell the truth. He only said that he didn't know Na Pali was there, which was a lie. After booking a room for Chen Taizhong today, he told Songhai's security manager to ask him
Pay attention to this group of people.
Therefore, Deputy Director Liu Sai was waiting outside in the rain, which had already caught the attention of some people, and then the provincial party committee-branded car arrived, and two young people got out of the car.
As soon as Liu Shuankui heard the descriptions of these two people, he was sure that one of them must be Chen Taizhong, and according to his judgment, the other was probably Na Pali. Otherwise, he would not have appeared in the private room by such a coincidence.
You know, it was half past seven when Chen Taizhong and Na Pali arrived. At this time, it was basically the end of the meal. Director Liu was so full that he was still wandering around Songhai after eight o'clock?
There is no shortage of caring people in these fields. Liu Shuankui knew that he might run into some trouble. Fortunately, he happened to know that Chen Taizhong's European Office was short of people, so he remembered that he had a distant nephew who was studying at Beijing Foreign Studies University and would be a graduate student next year.
I am looking for a job after graduation.
Originally, his cousin at home had said hello to him and asked him to help get the person to Bikong University or a foreign office. But now that he was in such a difficult situation, he suddenly remembered, why don't I introduce the person to Chen Taizhong?
Betting on his nephew was the most sincere gesture of goodwill. As for his future options, Liu Shuancui was not afraid of leaving his brother unexplained. After working in Europe for two years, Yuan Lin felt that it was boring. If he wanted to return to Bikong, he would be fooled.
Even if he doesn't care about art, he can take care of it. What's more likely is that once his nephew goes out, he doesn't want to come back.
This gesture of kindness was a bit presumptuous. Director Liu was also betting that Chen Taizhong was a young man who wanted to do something. He introduced talents to him, thereby resolving some lingering old grudges.
Don't tell me, he really made the bet right. Chen Taizhong was very interested when he heard it, but what he thought was that the other Liu Yuanlin must be considered a talent. Although Ma Xiaoya said that the talents in Beijing are unreliable.
, but this person’s cousin is the director of the department in Bikong, so he is not afraid of this little guy messing around.
With your cousin holding me down, if you dare to mess around, I will have a thousand ways to deal with you. Even if you can escape, your uncle cannot.
However, Chen Li didn't think much about it, but he refused to say it. He said in a long tone... Well, Director Shuan Kui, the city has strict requirements for candidates for the European Office, and political reliability is
Putting it first, there is no need to emphasize this. The key is to be talented and meritocratic. Let me tell you this, out of more than a thousand candidates for Phoenix, I have selected a deputy director.
It’s true that he just picked one, but there are more than a thousand candidates, which is nonsense. But when he said this, he also meant to be reserved. The European Office is short of people. There is really a shortage of people, but people’s faults are all caused by habit.
Yes, he would rather not have this Liu Yuanlin than reveal his embarrassment. "If I tell you the truth, you don't cherish it."
"That's for sure." Liu Shuokui nodded with a smile. As a veteran cadre, he is well aware of the nature of an organization like the European Office, which is free and well-paid. If he does well, he can slip into the system. If he doesn't work well, he can still work abroad.
Looking for some opportunities is really suitable for my nephew. "I said this to help him register first.
Na Pali wanted to laugh a little when he saw it. He knew that Director Liu had a small deal with Director Liu a while ago, but in the officialdom, such small tricks are common. If you talk about it in detail, Liu Han's actions were more serious.
If you could have dragged Taizhong and me into this earlier, would they have treated you like this?
To put it bluntly, he is still not strong enough! The director thought so. However, since the Labor Department still hid a time bomb like Mao Jiying, he naturally could not be too polite to Liu Shuokui, but carefully kept his distance.
However, Director Liu actually thought of sending his nephew there. This could be regarded as a means of making good friends. The director had to be convinced of his level of finding an entry point, but he also knew that Taizhong's European Office was serious.
Lack of people.
Seeing Chen Taizhong showing off like this, the director couldn't help it any longer. He smiled and added, "The political reliability of the person recommended by Director Liu shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This sounds like he is favoring Liu Shuokui, but in fact it is a very obscure warning to fulfill the joint and several responsibilities of the Liu family. Liu Shuokui naturally knows what it means and thinks to himself, my nephew, if you are not sure, do you dare to recommend it to you?
?
Director Liu actually thinks that this warning is a good thing. If my nephew does something wrong, you will hold me accountable. But if he does a good job, the director and I can be as good as half of our own people.
?
In short, the dinner ended like this, and Chen Taizhong finally fulfilled his promise. When he sent Na Pali to the door of the hotel, the rain got a little heavier, and Liu Shuankui couldn't help but sigh when he saw the director going to open the door by himself.
He said, "Director, you have drunk a lot, let my driver take you there?"
"It's okay." Na Pali smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, Director Liu had already planned it. He knew that the director drove Chen Taizhong here by himself, so he couldn't insist on emphasizing, "That department. Listen to my advice. You
I am still young and dare not take my own safety seriously. It is still raining in the sky.
This sentence irritated Na Pali. Although he was very scheming, he was most annoyed by others taking advantage of his youth and instability. He touched the car door and locked the car with his hand. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I won't go back."
, it’s okay to share a bed with Taizhong, right?”
"Oh? Of course that's good." Liu Shuankui was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile, but he was quite upset because this time the flattery was on the horse's leg.
However, although he was upset, he could not express it, but with this knot in his heart, he could not be too entangled anymore. After chatting for a while, he left in a hurry.
Chen Taizhong and the other three walked into the room he had reserved for the guest house and sat on the closed balcony. They chatted casually while looking out the window at the rainy night in the city. However, after a few words, Liu Sai made an excuse and left.
Na Pali sighed deeply, "Thanks to you for coming, Taizhong. I haven't had this relaxing and leisure feeling for a long time. When I was very young, I liked to listen to the rain falling on the trees while walking leisurely.
The two women beside him wanted to hint something, but they were women from good families after all, and they seemed unable to open their mouths.
Watching the division chief take a taxi and leave, Liu Sai sighed deeply, "Taizhong, that division chief" is actually quite difficult. I always felt that he was very lonely. I heard that his family didn't come over either?
So you designed it like this? Chen Taizhong glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and chuckled, "Okay, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest, Liu Ting, I have completed the task."
Watching him walk towards the hotel with his back shrugged, Deputy Director Liu suddenly realized that the distance between this young man and himself was actually very, very far away.
Two days later, Chen Taizhong flew to Beijing again, and Yuan Sun's visa was also approved. Just when the two were discussing when to fly to Paris, Liu Yuanlin found the Phoenix Office in Beijing.
Classmate Xiao Liu is twenty-four this year. He is tall, thin and fair, with very nimble eyes, quick thinking and clear articulation. You can tell at a glance that he is a smart person.
It was Yuan Ban who tested his English and French. Director Yuan wanted to find out sadly that this person's French and English were better than his own, both in terms of grammar and vocabulary. For a moment, he felt a little emotional, "Oh,
Today’s students are incredible.”
"Lao Yuan, you have just been away from school for too long." Chen Taizhong replied with a smile. He tested the other party's German, but he didn't think it was anything special. "How is this person? Do you think he can be used?"
"Then it's up to you, Director Chen, to make the decision." Yuan Sun smiled. He had also heard Director Chen say that this person's cousin was the director of the Bikong Province, and he still recognized this person in his heart, but this matter of making the decision,
He won't go. Although Director Yuan also heard that Director Chen is in the Science and Technology Committee and is famous for delegating power.
"Old Yuan, it's boring for you to say that." Chen Taizhong's face sank slightly and he rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied, "In the future, the European Office will ask you to make decisions more often. You haven't understood clearly what kind of person I am.
?”
"Haha, I'm scared of being punished." Yuan Se laughed, thinking that it would be fun to work with such a boss. "If you ask me, I think the young man can try it out for a few months. Anyway, he won't be until next year."
Graduated, right?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, "I guess it's too late for him to apply for a visa. Time waits for no one. Let's fly to Paris first?"
Two days later, the two flew directly to Paris. After arriving, Chen Taizhong took Yuan Se to the place he rented to take a look, "This house still needs some decorations, but you can just buy the most basic ones. Well, like
Don’t worry about decorations or anything else, there will be many people coming to give you gifts later, so we can’t waste it, can we?”
Director Yuan had known for a long time that Director Chen had rented a house worth 199,000 euros for his office. It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he had a concrete impression of the house. But what made him scratch his head was, "These things, I
Where can I buy it? This is my first time in Paris
"Well, I'll introduce you to two friends. Just ask them." Chen Taizhong contacted them and found out that Abel was in Paris. He decided to hold a banquet for tomorrow night without any hesitation.
Originally, he didn't want to contact Bella and Grace. After all, there was Yuan Ban beside him, but then he thought about it. If Lao Na properly accepts a woman's companionship, Liu Shao can feel at ease, so Lao Yuan can now be regarded as Chen.
I'm in a relationship, so if I show some hobbies appropriately, it can also improve everyone's relationship, right?
There are some things that are strictly guarded against and cannot produce the best results. This is his own understanding.
In the following time, two yellow men were shopping for daily necessities on the streets. They were accompanied not only by the people sent by Abel, but also by two tall beauties with first-class looks.
As early as when Yuan Se was in Phoenix, he knew that Chen Taizhong's private life was quite dissolute. However, he could only envy Chen Taizhong's ability to be dissolute. Therefore, apart from being slightly surprised when he first saw the two beauties, he naturally fell in love with Chen Taizhong.
Accept the fact that Director Chen has many acquaintances abroad.
Grace and Bella, on the other hand, initially remembered not to be too affectionate with Taizhong in front of other officials, but when they saw that their men did not avoid that person, they gradually relaxed.
The crazy shopping didn't come to an end until late in the evening. I finally bought a few daily necessities. By this time, Bella and Grace had already gone to rehearse. Chen Taizhong easily left without saying a word. "Director Yuan, this thing is for you."
Look, the later generation will never come back."
Looking at the clutter that filled the hall, Yuan Sun curled his lips angrily and said to himself, "I also want to see the nightlife in Paris."
Things were much better the next day. Abel sent housekeeping staff early in the morning and worked all day to finally clean up and decorate each room.
That is to say, in this old-fashioned building, since this room is also a building that is prohibited from tampering with the indoor and outdoor layout stipulated by the Paris city government, even if the Phoenix people want to tamper with the civil engineering, there will be a lot of trouble, so they simply make do with it.
That night, the Phoenix Municipal Office in Europe treated us to a guest for the first time, but it was a late night snack. Bella and Grace got off work too late and too early.
When the two beautiful models came, they also brought two friends, who were also models of course. Chen Taizhong vaguely recognized that one of them seemed to have had a brief but in-depth contact with Wei Minghe.
It was his order to bring these two people here, because Abel probably wouldn't come alone. It would be more interesting to have two beauties here, wouldn't it? It's a very private banquet anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's a little debauched, right?
Of course, if Yuan Ban is willing to hook up with one of them, he won't mind very much. Then the eldest brother will stop laughing at the second brother. However, if Director Yuan gets into trouble, he will have to remind this person of something.
However, Yuan Shu once again proved to Chen Taizhong that he was not only cautious, but also pragmatic. He coaxed the four beauties to laugh wildly with his mouth, but it did not involve any erotic or ambiguous gestures.
At nine o'clock, Abel finally came. As expected, he did not come alone. He was also accompanied by Koziza, the deputy minister of the French Ministry of Culture and Communications.
Kochisa was accompanied by Henry Gounod, whom Chen Taizhong had met once at the Cathergues' house. This man was the deputy minister's senior think tank and had a considerable influence on him.
Chen Taizhong didn't expect that Abel could actually invite the deputy minister over in the middle of the night. He felt a bit honored for a moment, "Haha, Mr. Kochisa, I feel very honored to have you here."
"You're welcome, I'm an old friend of the Chinese people." Mr. Vice Minister laughed, walked up to him, gave him a hug without warning, and patted his back warmly.
Unfortunately, Kozisa is a bit short, not even 1.7 meters tall, so this action is a bit funny.
What's even more surprising is that the Vice Minister not only hugged him and Yuan Shu, but also hugged the four beautiful models one by one. This enthusiasm was simply "tsk, there's no way to describe it."
It took Director Yuan a long time to realize that the little man who came here was the deputy minister of a certain department in France. For a moment, he looked at Chen Taizhong with awe in his eyes: Boss, I have thought of you very much.
You are powerful, but I really didn't expect you to be so powerful.
What kind of ability is it to be able to invite a deputy minister to attend a casual banquet in the middle of the night? Moreover, it sounds like the minister and Director Chen have admired each other for a long time, but they have never met each other.
Mr. Koziza was very eloquent. After sitting down, he first recalled the warm reception he received in China, and then lamented how unbreakable the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French people was. Finally, he complained with a little anger, "Chen
, you came to Paris and you didn’t even tell me. If it hadn’t been for Abel, I would have been kept in the dark.”
"I was thinking that Mr. Minister, you would be very busy. Last time I wanted to visit you, but you went to the United States." Chen Taizhong spread his hands with regret, then pointed at Abel with a smile, "Mr. Abel can do this for you."
I bear witness."
"Then you can also contact Henry, can't you?" Kochisa raised his chin at Henry Gounod, "You two had a great chat at the Kenny family's daughter's banquet in Beijing, right?"
Mr. Deputy Minister's French is the kind of aristocratic French spoken in the uppermost circles. Although the pronunciation is not particularly standard, Yuan Sun still understands it so well that he almost falls to the ground. What, there is also the daughter of the Kenny family.
?
"I thought you had promised to come when we unveil the plaque." Chen Taizhong really couldn't resist the enthusiasm and said to himself, you know I can get on the line with No. 1, so there's no need to do this, right? He couldn't help but smile slightly,
"The key is, "This place hasn't been completely tidied up yet, it's too shabby."
"A true friend won't care about this." Mr. Kochisa expressed his attitude solemnly, and then smiled again, "Okay, Chen, please introduce the others to me."
After Chen Taizhong introduced his deputies, the deputy minister's eyes turned to the four models again. He hesitated and then coughed lightly, "This is Bella, Grace, um, she is a friend I have known since I was in the UK. This
The two are Emma "Oh, Isabel, they are both very famous models in the fashion industry."
"Indeed, they are all very beautiful." Mr. Kozisa walked to the bar with a smile, picked up a glass of beer without anyone noticing, turned around and motioned to everyone, "Okay, everyone, let's relax."
The deputy minister's words were indeed true. After a few glasses of wine, he relaxed completely. After glancing at Bella and Grace for a few times, he turned his attention to Isabel, the two British beauties.
Chen Qiang explained that of course he shouldn't be too affectionate.
Isabel also enjoyed Deputy Minister An's enthusiasm very much. At the end of the drink, the two actually held hands. Chen Taizhong watched from a distance and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth: Hey, Corvo, what you drank was Weiming River's foot-washing water.
