Power and Official Career - Chapter [-]: Sophistication of the World

This weekend, Lu Yan's life was not easy. For two whole days, he was running around in the process of giving favors and gifts from all parties.

Gao Jia and Wei Bangkun were a little bit better, after all, they were already very familiar with themselves, and Lu Yan finished the things that needed to be done without much effort after making a phone call.

When I saw Wei Bangkun, I was at his home. Although the inspection room was busy, it was a little better at the end of the year.When he received Lu Yan's call, Wei Bangkun was resting at home. When he heard that Lu Yan was going to visit him, Wei Bangkun was very enthusiastic and directly called Lu Yan to his home.

Although Lu Yan only worked under Wei Bangkun for one year, and Wei Bangkun was the director of the inspection office at that time, Lu Yan was just a small general cadre.But Wei Bangkun's influence on Lu Yan was very good.Up to now, I still feel that this young man is sensible and capable, and he is a talent to be made.

It was after ten o'clock in the morning on Saturday when we arrived at Wei Bangkun's house, and Lu Yan didn't stay long after he entered.After exchanging pleasantries, he briefly reported his work situation, then asked about Wei Bangkun's recent situation with concern, and then went straight to the topic, and presented him with a gift certificate prepared by Lin Zhijie.

When I met Gao Jia, I was in his office.Coming out of Wei Bangkun's house, Lu Yan made a phone call. It happened that all members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee were working overtime for a meeting, and Gao Jia was also on standby in his office.This also saves a lot of trouble, and it happens to be able to visit them all in one trip.

When Lu Yan called at this juncture, Gao Jia could of course guess what he was going to do.In fact, Gao Jia didn't want Lu Yan to spend money in her heart, but she didn't explain it on the phone, so Gao Jia couldn't directly say that you don't come to give me gifts, so she had to wait and see what happened.

In fact, Gao Jia is also extremely troubled by giving gifts during this time, and it will soon be the traditional Spring Festival of Chinese people. This kind of festival is also the time when giving gifts in official circles is common.Don't look at Gao Jia as the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee Office, but sometimes, his office has more people than the secretary-general's office.Some people stopped by Secretary Xu Richeng's office when they came to visit him, and some people made a special trip to visit him.No matter what kind of person they are, they often come to his office, say a few insignificant words, and then leave something when they leave.

These things left behind may be gifts or shopping cards.Of course, some people send cash directly.However, there are not many people who give gifts and cash these years, and most people still send a shopping card.The biggest advantage of the shopping card is that it is not real-named, and it can be yours or mine.Moreover, this thing has a small target and is easy to carry. If you don't want to use it, you can sell it for cash.Therefore, this small card is the most widely circulated gift in official circles over the years.

Gao Jia's rank is at the deputy departmental level. In the market of Xizhou Province, the starting price for gifts for officials of his level is [-].

Gao Jia accepts gifts more often out of a sense of helplessness, but he has his own principles for accepting gifts, he knows what he can accept and what he can't accept.Gao Jia does not accept gifts or cash.The goal of giving gifts is too big, maybe someone will be watching when you enter the door, and it is not convenient to store these things in the office, and the goal is too big when you take them home.Those who give cash can't accept it. Money is a hot thing to handle, and if you are not careful, you will ruin yourself.For those who gave shopping cards, Gao Jia also weighed the motives of these people's gifts, and only accepted them when he felt safe.

That's right, before the Chinese New Year, there are more than 100 shopping cards in Gao Jia's drawer.The minimum face value of these shopping cards is 1000 yuan, the highest face value is 5000 yuan, and the total value is more than 20 yuan.

This does not include some of the cards that Gao Jia has sent out.This is how people come and go in officialdom.In this position, someone will give you gifts, but you also need to give gifts to some people who you think are important. Only in this way can the relationship between each other be more harmonious.

But Gao Jia knew that the meaning of Lu Yan's visit this time was different from others.Other people's visits are not really for anything, more just to cultivate feelings.The reason for giving him a gift is because he is the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary, and now that he has cultivated a relationship, he might use this relationship someday.

The meaning of Lu Yan's visit is different. To some extent, the relationship between Gao Jia and Lu Yan is that of a teacher, a friend, and an elder brother. Lu Yan came to visit him, and Gao Jia believed that this was a sincere thank you to him.

When Lu Yan came to Gao Jia's office, it happened that Gao Jia had just come out of Xu Richeng's office. When he saw Lu Yan, he shook hands enthusiastically and called Lu Yan to go in and sit down.

It was still the old practice. After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, and talking about some work matters, Lu Yan got straight to the point, took out the gift certificate and handed it over: "It's the Chinese New Year, brother's kindness, thank you Secretary-General for your kindness all the time. point and care."

"What are you doing?" Gao Jia glanced at the gift certificate in Lu Yan's hand, and said with a smile, "How much is your monthly salary? Give me such a high-end suit."

Lu Yan said with a smile, he doesn't care about high and low, just a little bit of heart.

Gao Jia smiled, and didn't refuse anymore, saying that I will accept brother's kindness, and it is not rude to come and go, and my brother also has something to give you, so I ask you to help me deal with it.

As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it to Lu Yan. You take this thing away, maybe it will be useful at this time.

"What?" Lu Yan was a little hesitant and didn't take it immediately.

"It's nothing. The card someone sent me is so much that I can't spend it all. It just so happens that you're here, take it to buy some New Year's goods at home." Gao Jia didn't hide anything, and directly said that the card was sent by someone else.

Lu Yan said forget it, the Secretary-General should keep these things for use. I came to thank the Secretary-General, so how can I take the Secretary-General's things.

But in the end Lu Yan still didn't hold back Gao Jia, so he had no choice but to put the envelope away.

The two of them had another conversation in the office, and there seemed to be a noise in the meeting room of the Standing Committee at the other end of the corridor. Lu Yan knew that the Standing Committee was about to disband, so he didn't talk to Gao Jia any more, and stood up and waited there. Follow Xu Richeng over.

Xu Richeng walked over with a notebook under his arm, followed by Secretary-General Yu Yongdong, holding Xu Richeng's cup in his hand.

Gao Jia was waiting in the office, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she hurried out of the office and opened his office just before Xu Richeng arrived, allowing Xu Richeng to enter the office without stopping.

Lu Yan planned to go to Xu Richeng's house at night, so it's best not to let Xu Richeng see it at this time.

Gao Jia and Yu Yongdong followed Xu Richeng into his office, after a while, Gao Jia came out first.Seeing Lu Yan standing there, he asked with a smile, "Boss, are you going to go in later?"

Lu Yan stuck out his tongue, and said with a scared look: "I won't go to his place for now, I'll wait for Secretary-General Yu, and go sit with him when I get back."

Lu Yan was quite clear about Gao Jia's character, so he didn't hide it, and he directly said that he was going to visit Yu Yongdong.

"Okay, Secretary-General Yu always talks about you, he must be very happy if you go to see him." While speaking, Gao Jia heard Xu Richeng's door knocking, came out to take a look, turned around and told Lu Yan that Yu Yongdong had already left. Xu Richeng came out of his office.

Lu Yan didn't leave in a hurry, and chatted with Gao Jia for a while, guessing that Yu Yongdong had gone far, and then came out of Gao Jia's office.

This is the case in officialdom, there are many taboo things.Moreover, everyone is very particular about how much they should say in front of them and how much they should do.For example, to Yu Yongdong and Gao Jia, Lu Yan can directly say in front of Gao Jia that he is going to visit Secretary-General Yu, but in front of Yu Yongdong, he should avoid letting him know that he came out from Gao Jia. of.

Just after the standing committee meeting, all the standing committee members happened to be there, and the practice of the provincial committee is basically that each standing committee member occupies a floor of office.So Lu Yan quickly visited Ma Xiaoming, Wang Haibo, and Yu Yongdong, three members of the Standing Committee.

The specific process will not be detailed one by one, but the three people have one thing in common, that is, they were a little surprised that Lu Yan was able to visit them, but after the accident, they were more happy.

At this time, the deep meaning of Lin Zhijie's words came out. What they don't care about is what gift you gave them. They already have everything. The key is that they care about your mood.

Lu Yan's worries at the beginning did not happen now. Without exception, these people all accepted Lu Yan's gifts and asked him to take them to his parents, especially Lin Zhijie to say hello.They also gave great encouragement to Lu Yan's work, saying that if there is anything to be coordinated and resolved, they can come to them directly.

And when Lu Yan was about to leave, none of the three of them let Lu Yan return empty-handed.Yu Yongdong took a piece of tea and forced it to him.Wang Haibo passed a handbag by the way, which contained four packs of cigarettes.Ma Xiaoming gave him the latest Samsung mobile phone as a gift in return.

People accepted what you gave, and now when they return the gift to you, you can no longer refuse it.And for them, having too many things is a burden. Once there are too many gifts this time, let’s put them aside.I just took this opportunity to ask Lu Yan to help with it.
