One hundred and fifty-eight chapters do not give face
To be honest, although Qin Liancheng was extremely dissatisfied with Li Jifeng, he did not have a good impression of Chen Taizhong, who was obviously prickly, because he believed that no matter what Director Li arranged, you, a young man who was seconded, should not be so arrogant.
Qualifications are earned through hard work. In China, whether it is officialdom, the workplace, shopping malls or academia, it is necessary to learn to respect the elderly and authority. This Chen Taizhong is a bit too presumptuous.
However, Qin Liancheng was about to go out to meet his family. At this time, he naturally couldn't cause any more trouble. When Chen Taizhong entered his office, he took a briefcase directly from the table and handed it over, very simply and concisely.
He gave the order, "Get ready and set off immediately."
You...are you asking me to carry your bag? Chen Taizhong was not very happy at first, and now he became even more unhappy. But thinking about the other party's identity, he gritted his teeth and said, Damn, bro, I'll bear with you for now!
"There is a mobile phone inside, put it on. If your pool doesn't work, don't use it," Qin Liancheng ordered without raising his head, and picked up the phone, "Zhang Lingling? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"
This is the briefcase issued to Chen Taizhong. It is made of genuine leather and is expensive. However, the Investment Promotion Office welcomes and delivers them all day long. The most indispensable thing is this kind of gadget, so it can't be said that they are paying special attention to him.
Today, the size and level of the guests accompanying them are much smaller and much different. This is also the usual practice. The mayor, secretary of the municipal party committee, secretary-general, etc. are all busy people. Naturally, it is impossible for a businessman to accompany him all the time.
, it’s normal to give you face. But the government also needs to give you face.
No matter how rich you are, and you have a household registration to earn foreign rice, a businessman is a businessman - if you are Huang Lao, you are still the same.
Therefore, the biggest guest today is Qin Liancheng, but in any case, he is also the deputy director. It does not mean that he is not showing favor to him.
As soon as Tianjia saw Chen Taizhong, he took the initiative to come over and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him. Unexpectedly, Chen Taizhong's face turned pale and he clasped his fists at him and said, "Is this the old gentleman? Haha, I have admired him for a long time."
He had already made up his mind to completely discredit Phoenix City. Even if he had nothing to do, he still wanted to cause some trouble. When he saw the other party reaching out, he clasped his fists and bowed as if he didn't realize it.
Yes, he made up his mind not to give the other party this face.
Tianjia's extended hand just stopped in the air. It was the hand of a seventy-year-old man. On the craggy palms, blue blood vessels were tangled.
The expressions of Qin Liancheng, Zhang Lingling and others suddenly changed, especially Director Qin, who originally smiled as warmly as the spring breeze in March, but at this moment, the smile froze on his face.
Xilan and Ruiyuan's expressions also changed. In addition to the three grandsons and three attendants, the faces of all the people who came to the house this time were not very good-looking.
Tianjia's reaction was very strange.
He was stunned for a moment, then stared with his dim eyes, and slowly retracted his hand. The next moment, he arched his hands and returned the gift, and his eyes slowly became indescribably strange, "
Oh, Director Chen also likes this kind of... backward etiquette?"
"It's just a personal hobby. I don't think it's backward." Chen Taizhong still didn't criticize him. However, since he was asked seriously and he was quite old, he had to explain his behavior slightly, "Shake hands."
, it’s Western etiquette, I don’t like it very much.”
This is an excuse, but it is also a fact. As mentioned earlier, Chen Taizhong really looks down on Westerners in his heart. Therefore, although this is an excuse, he said it frankly and naturally.
"Ha, Director Chen is such a sweet-tempered person, I admire him." Tianjia cupped his hand again, but a solemn look appeared on his face, "I have always thought so. Chinese culture is indeed the most profound in mainland China.
Even though I am in a different place, I dare not or forget the foundation of my life."
When he said the last few words, a hint of arrogance quietly crept onto his eyebrows.
Chen Taizhong was stunned when he heard this, "Are you talking sarcastically?"
After Tianjia finished speaking, he did not look at his expression. Instead, he turned to look at his son and grandson, "Xilan, Yuan'er, do you see? I have told you before that you can learn from foreigners.
You have to learn, but it’s better not to forget the fundamentals of etiquette!”
By the end of the sentence, a bright smile appeared on his face, and the uncontrollable happiness showed that this was a true portrayal of his mood.
Xi Lan and Rui Yuan nodded politely, but murmured in their hearts, how could this guy named Chen know that the old man likes this? What a pity, tonight, we have to do it again
!
Qin Liancheng and Zhang Lingling, the chief of the business section, were shocked. This, this, this... is this okay?
This little guy is really a lucky general. Director Qin felt a little emotional in his heart. However, this was obviously the result of Xiao Chen's mistake. If he was wrong this time, he might be wrong next time.
He couldn't help but step forward and change the subject.
"Old sir, it's getting late now. Let's get in the car and drive around Phoenix City. What do you think?"
Going around the city, firstly, you can see the changes in Phoenix City over the years, secondly, you can show off the city’s good infrastructure facilities, and thirdly, if you really want to invest, you can first visit Phoenix City
I have a general understanding of each neighborhood, so let’s just call it a walk in the park.
—
What the Investment Promotion Office prepared for Tianjia were two Mercedes-Benz 500s, which were temporarily borrowed from the city. One of them was Lu Guangjie’s car from the Haiming Group.
Originally, Qin Liancheng accompanied Tianjia into the car. The two of them sat in the back, and the old man's assistant sat in the passenger seat. But after thinking about it for a while, he kicked his assistant out of the car and called Chen Taizhong up, "Haha,
It’s better to have two locals explaining it than one.”
Tianjia's assistant was not surprised and got out of the car honestly, but Director Qin was beating a small drum in his heart.
To be honest, Qin Liancheng could vaguely guess why Li Jifeng would neglect Chen Taizhong, and speaking from the bottom of his heart, even he himself felt a little bit of this kind of neglect. But everything at the moment showed that Zhang Yaodong did a great job on this point.
He is so correct and so discerning. This old gentleman does not have a general appreciation for Xiao Chen.
But the more this happened, the more nervous he became. From the few contacts he had with Chen Taizhong, he could conclude that this young man was definitely soft on the outside and tough on the inside, or... tough on the outside and tough on the inside.
If a young man with such a strong personality and impulsiveness is placed next to Tianjia, if he says a few inappropriate words at any time, it will be very bad.
But now, it seems it's too late to stop it...
Fortunately, Chen Taizhong had kept his lips tightly shut since he meditated and got into the car, looking like a clay Buddha. He never took the initiative to speak. He only answered a few words lightly when Tianjia asked him. At this time, his
His behavior was the same as before, he was completely different.
Looking like this, he looks a bit like a young talent in the officialdom, calm and solid.
In fact, Chen Taizhong did this just because he felt that with Qin Liancheng taking care of him, it would be a little difficult for him to smear Phoenix City, but if he wanted to smear it nakedly, it seemed... it seemed a bit cover-up.
Moreover, I have to admit that Tianjia's respect for Chinese etiquette gave him some good feelings. In this case, he naturally had to fulfill his obligation to accompany guests and use his ears as much as possible and his mouth as little as possible.
The group of people walked and stopped, and when they reached an open space, they would get out of the car to give advice and discuss. As they walked around like this, time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was evening.
At noon, everyone had dinner at Mingyue on the Sea. In the evening, Qin Liancheng wanted to invite us again, but Xi Lan refused with a smile, "Haha, we are half Phoenix people. We have made arrangements for the evening by ourselves. Today has already been completed
I’ve disturbed your whole day…”
This is true, but how could Director Qin just leave like that? He thought about it carefully, "Well, let's do this. Ask Xiao Chen to accompany you around tonight. He has been the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and can protect you.
Safety……"
At this point, he felt something was wrong, and turned to look at the business section chief, "Well, Zhang Lingling, do you have anything to do tonight? How about we go together?"
Zhang Lingling is about 20 years old, has a handsome appearance, is very tall, and has a slightly overweight figure, but she can be regarded as an extremely eye-catching mature woman.
The Business Department of the Investment Promotion Office is equivalent to the core department. There are many gods and goddesses in the department, and most of them are in charge of performance without having to go to work. They can do business by virtue of their connections. She can be this section chief, and her background is obvious.
.
What's rare is that this person can be considered a beauty. She works actively on weekdays and is free at critical moments. Of course, her performance is quite good.
Of course, Director Qin had his reasons for saying this. Normally, a woman of this age would have a lot of things to do at home. However, Zhang Lingling just divorced her useless husband last year, and now she is worried about being lonely all night long and wishes she had something to do.
Come and do it.
"It's nothing, director, you guys go back first," as expected, Section Chief Zhang replied.
