Chapter 66: Giving gifts ([-])

It was already ten days after Lu Yan was discharged from the hospital. The ten days in the hospital were the happiest ten days since Lu Yan was admitted as a civil servant. Of course, they were also the most pleasant ten days.Not to mention that I no longer need to work hard every day, it is very, very useful to have Lin Xiaoyun by my side.

Lu Yan was also thinking that the famous saying of the old ancestor, "Blessings in misfortune" is not unreasonable. He helped the demolition households once. Although he was beaten up by Chen Xiaofei and the others, the injuries were not serious, but he also benefited a lot. many.First, the demolition agreement was resolved smoothly.Second, there is a rare opportunity for "therapeutic leave".The third and most important point is that through this hospitalization, the relationship between him and Lin Xiaoyun has made substantial progress.Hehe, holding hands, kissing, those are all things that he used to be ungrateful but not daring. He didn't expect to get them all at once in the past few days.Moreover, once a woman is an animal for the first time, she will not be very resistant in the future.In the past few days in the hospital, he has not missed Lin Xiaoyun's small mouth. As for holding hands, that is already commonplace.

After Lu Yan was discharged from the hospital, it was only half a month before the Chinese New Year. All the objectives and tasks have been assessed, and the supervision tasks have been reduced a lot. However, another "important task" has been put on the list agenda.

As the new year is approaching, "gift giving" is naturally a very important thing.In today's society, "gift giving" is also a science. Who to give, what standard to give, when to give, and how to give is very particular.When giving gifts during Chinese New Year, it’s not good to give them too early, it’s hard to find a gimmick for giving gifts, and it’s not good to give them too late, it seems that the intention is not very sincere. Now this time is neither too early nor too late, it’s the best time to give gifts.

The official's wife Xia Qiu naturally knows this well. This year is Lu Yan's first year at work. As soon as he came out of the hospital, Xia Qiu urged Lu Yan to visit the leaders of the Youth League Committee and the inspection office.

Hearing about gift giving gave Lu Yan a headache. As far as this "learning" is concerned, he is still a primary school student. First, he doesn't know how to give it, and second, he doesn't know what to give it.Xia Qiu taught him many ways to give gifts, but he didn't think he could do that.

The world is like this, some people are worried about giving gifts, while others are still troubled about receiving gifts.

Wei Bangkun was the type of person who struggled with receiving gifts.

Although he has been in the officialdom for decades and has been a department-level cadre for four or five years, it is the first time in Wei Bangkun's official career that so many people are begging to treat him to a meal or give him a gift.Even the addition of previous decades is not as much as this year.This year is the first year he has been adjusted to the position of director of the inspection room. Due to the special job position, there are a lot of gifts and money.He set a principle for himself, never accept money from others.He didn't accept cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc. at first, but later he realized that if he didn't even accept such a small gift, it would be difficult to get along in the officialdom, so he had to change his attitude, rejecting cash and accepting items or shopping cards.In less than a year as the director of the inspection office, he received nearly a hundred shopping cards alone, adding up to a hundred thousand.

Wei Bangkun knew in his heart that all this was because of the chair under his buttocks and the power in his hands.It doesn't count when you first start your official career. Naturally, no one knows who you are at that time.A few years ago, although he entered the level of the main hall, the research office of the provincial party committee is a clean and cold yamen. At best, people will say that you are the leader's think tank and praise you. You are not of much use to others. It won't give you any benefits either.Since becoming the director of the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office this year, Wei Bangkun has clearly felt that others have a different attitude towards him.Although the level is still the same as before, the power in his hands is much greater. He is holding the Shangfang sword bestowed by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in his hand.

As a result, Wei Bangkun's status has increased a lot. On weekdays, even the mayors and directors are polite when they see him. When it comes to Chinese New Year, such and such human etiquette is indispensable.

Some people gave gifts directly at home, and some gave gifts at the wine table. At such times, Wei Bangkun was always polite and accepted them half-heartedly.This is the case in the officialdom. Most of the time, people don't necessarily ask you to do things right or wrong, but just ordinary emotional investment. If you don't accept what people do, you will appear to be far away from others.Just like Zhao Feng, Wei Bangkun could not refuse the gift he gave this year, but also received it comfortably.

Zhao Feng is the director of the Highway Bureau under the Provincial Department of Communications, and the Highway Bureau is really a fat and oily unit.In this year, the departments that make money for the government are always tight-knit departments, while the departments that spend money for the government are always the departments that spend a lot of money.However, since Secretary Xu Richeng took office, such departments are also the key inspection departments of the inspection room.In Secretary Richeng's concept, it doesn't matter if you spend money generously, the key is that you have to do things well for me.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Bangkun and Zhao Feng had a lot of dealings on weekdays. On this day Zhao Feng called again to meet for dinner, and it happened that Wei Bangkun was fine after get off work, so he readily agreed.

When Wei Bangkun rushed to the dining place, Zhao Feng had already arrived. Besides Zhao Feng, there were two other people in the room. One was the office director of the Highway Bureau, surnamed Yang, and the other was Wei Bangkun's college classmate, a member of the provincial traffic inspection station. Stationmaster Wang Huabing.

This point also reflects Zhao Feng's brilliance, asking Wang Huabing to accompany him, on the one hand, it can shorten the distance with Wei Bangkun, and there will be a few conversations during the meeting.More importantly, Wei Bangkun can have a sense of pride and superiority in front of his former classmates.What's the best thing about a man?One lustful, two good face.The relationship between Zhao Feng and Wei Bangkun hasn't reached that level yet, so he didn't choose one, but he definitely won't let go of the second.

When Wei Bangkun came in, both Wang Huabing and Director Yang got up to greet him. Zhao Feng also got up from the inside and shook hands with Wei Bangkun. He put his arms around his shoulders and led him to the main seat, which made Wei Bangkun feel that the relationship between the two of them was very close. iron.

After the host and guest were seated, Zhao Feng gave a slight wink. Director Yang took a gift box from the sofa next to him, and carefully handed it to Zhao Feng.After Zhao Feng took the box, he put it in front of Wei Bangkun calmly.

Seeing that Zhao Feng remained calm, Wei Bangkun also asked calmly, what is this?

Zhao Feng smiled, and said that this was a car model given by the organizer when he participated in a press conference, and he had no place in his office to know that Director Wei could collect this, so he borrowed flowers to present Buddha.

Wei Bangkun said with a smile that Chief Zhao was interested, and then turned to Wang Huabing and chatted with him about things in college.But even though he was talking to Wang Huabing, Wei Bangkun was still thinking about the gift box.He knew that what was in it was definitely not a car model, if it was something that Wang Huabing couldn't get out of it, and he had never had a hobby of collecting car models.

However, Wei Bangkun didn't say anything about it. Apart from himself, all the people sitting there were from Zhao Feng's side. He believed that these people must know what was inside. It's too cheap, so it doesn't matter if you accept it, and since the other party said it was just a car model, Wei Bangkun was happy to pretend to be confused.

A meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guest, and everyone wore thick masks to perform on the dinner table, and the only theme of the performance was to make the atmosphere harmonious.After a long time, the person wearing the mask has forgotten that the other party is performing, and he has forgotten his own performance, and everyone including Wei Bangkun has entered the play.
