official journey ups and downs

Coming to Longzhong City again, Shen Tong felt more and more unfamiliar with the city where he had lived for five years.With the rapid economic development of Longzhong City, the promotion of urbanization is making great strides forward. From Kaiyuan District to Fushan District, from the development zone to the industrial park, there are many tower cranes and machinery roaring. There is a lively scene everywhere.

In the past, when Shen Tong came to the bus station, he would take the shuttle bus to the bus station, and then take the bus to the place he wanted to reach. But this time, Wujiang Kate deliberately sent him a special car to go to the provincial capital to negotiate further with Tiancheng Company .Shen Tong sat in the large Passat, looked through the window at the busy crowd shuttling between the buildings, and was suddenly satisfied with his "privilege".

Because I had greeted Guo Weijian in advance, we made an appointment to meet at "Weiyang Pavilion".Weiyang Pavilion is located on Xuefu Street, Longzhong City, and Shen Tong is very familiar with it.According to historical records, Weiyang Pavilion was originally named Sanqing Terrace, which was used for religious sacrifices in ancient times and held a very high status in the eyes of Dongjiang people.It was built in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi visited here when she fled to the west, which suddenly increased its popularity.After liberation, successive leaders of Longzhong rebuilt and expanded this place and built it into the largest park in Dongjiang Province.And this Weiyang Pavilion was contracted by some discerning businessmen and opened a teahouse. Those who can come here to consume are celebrities from Dongjiang Province.It is different from the "Bie You Dong Tian" club, which is open to the whole society, but a cup of ordinary tea costs more than 200 yuan, which is so expensive that some people who can't afford it will naturally avoid it.

After arriving at Weiyang Pavilion, Guo Weijian was already waiting by the window.After Shen Tong got off the car, he took out 200 yuan and handed it to the driver, saying: "Master Liu, thank you for your hard work. You have followed me for such a long distance. I will talk to the people from Tiancheng Company later. I don’t take good care of you, you take the money to eat something first, and I’ll call you when I’m done.”

The driver, Master Liu, is in his 40s and has been driving all his life. He is considered an old man in the county party committee compound.I used to drive a car for the leader, but as I got older, my response was a little slow, so I made a request automatically and wanted to do logistics work.The leader at the time felt that he was good, so he stayed in the small team of the county party committee and became a team leader. His usual job was to manage and maintain the vehicles, and he would go out to run sports cars when there was not enough manpower.Last night, Zhang Liwei, the director of the county party committee office, specifically asked him to go to the provincial capital with Shen Tong this morning. He was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he still bit the bullet and got out of the car.

Along the way, through a simple conversation with Shen Tong, he had a good impression of this young man, and he dispelled the unhappiness in his heart.Now that Shen Tong gave him the money in a sensible way, it made him feel a little embarrassed.So he hurriedly pushed the money back and refused to ask for anything.

After pushing back and forth several times, Master Liu still accepted the money. He was used to such small favors.If you don't pack cigarettes for him when you get out of the car, you will feel that you are unreasonable, but Shen Tong is generous, and the price is 200 yuan. For Master Liu whose salary is only more than 500 yuan, this is a lot of money.

After accepting it readily, Master Liu grinned to the base of his ears, and said politely: "Shen Tong, go get busy with your business and leave me alone. I'll come here after breakfast and wait for you."

For the position of driver, if you are not the driver of the main leader, most people will not take you seriously.When you are in use, you will come when you are called, and when you are not in use, you will go away. There is no status or dignity at all. Therefore, if you take the initiative to establish a good relationship with them, they will accept them enthusiastically.

Shen Tong firmly believes that building a good relationship with this kind of people will not do him too much harm. On the contrary, at critical moments, they will be very enthusiastic to help you, so that everyone will not push the wall down. The money is worth the money.

Shen Tong waved at Guo Weijian and walked in.The interior of Weiyang Pavilion also follows the ancient architectural style, maintaining the original Ming and Qing decorations, and also incorporates some modern elements, giving people a solemn and solemn look.

After sitting down, Guo Weijian said with a smile: "Are you here to be a lobbyist in Dongquan County? I have agreed in advance that I only have friendship with you. If we talk about work or let me make concessions , it’s better not to open your mouth.”

Guo Weijian agreed to have an interview with Shen Tong because of Xu Xia's face.After coming back last time, Xu Xia scolded Guo Weijian a lot, but his boss is Zheng Weijun, and he must obey the boss's orders.If we talk about the relationship with Shen Tong, it has not reached the level of friends.

Shen Tong smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "Mr. Guo, if you want to be friends with you, maybe I'm not qualified enough. I'm just a small grassroots cadre who can make you a high-level friend. I can't wait for it. Since you said we only have friendship between friends, let's talk about friendship today, not about work, okay?"

Guo Weijian was very surprised by Shen Tong's progress. The last few times we met, he was submissive and unwilling to speak, but this time he spoke in a straightforward manner as soon as he came up, and said with great interest: "Okay, Shen Tong, I haven't seen you in a few days I’ve grown a lot, and my tone and style of speaking have completely changed.”

For Guo Weijian's praise, Shen Tong was very grateful. It seems that under Zhao Yitang's cultivation and his own hard practice, he has made some progress.He continued: "Mr. Guo, you are a powerful figure in the business circles of Dongjiang Province. It's hard to make progress."

A few words blew up Guo Weijian's hype, and Guo Weijian also felt a little smug. After crossing his hands and waving his hands, he lowered his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you are flattering me. Can we stop talking? I'm so tired. You said just now, Today I only talk about friendship, I don’t know where to start?”

Entering the topic of today's conversation, Shen Tong adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Mr. Guo, do you still remember the two conditions you put forward when you met me in Shihe Town?"

Guo Weijian is such a smart person, he immediately realized what Shen Tong was going to say, his face sank slightly, his fingers twirled and rubbed on the edge of the teacup, he tilted his neck and said, "What? You want to go back on your word? You have to make an exchange on this condition ?”

Shen Tong quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I, Shen Tong, am a daring person. Since I have promised you, I will never break my promise. You can rest assured."

Hearing this, Guo Weijian heaved a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then what do you want to say, just say it."
