The acquaintance Zhang Guan saw was Chen Dong who spit out a lot of bitterness from Zhang Guan a week ago and then took away 700,000 US dollars. Calculating the time, the US$700,000 should have arrived in the Snow Association's account long ago.
Zhang Guan suddenly had a bad guess in his mind. This is the most luxurious resort hotel in Meribel. Zhang Guan also knows how high the consumption level here is. Even the middle class in Europe may not be willing to spend money here. With Chen Dong's salary, it is even less possible. Spent it here. What's more, the waiter just said that what they ordered were the most expensive dishes, including Europe's top caviar that costs 300 US dollars for 1 ounce.
An ounce of caviar costs US$300, which can be said to be sold by Lunke. It’s not that most people can’t afford it. They can tighten their belts and enjoy a bite, but they will never gorge themselves on it. That is to say, only rich people like Schumacher dare to eat it with big spoons.
"Perhaps Chen Dong is a second-generation rich man?" Zhang Guan said with a hint of luck.
Chen Dong is the second generation of rich people, which is obviously what Zhang Guan wants to see most. There are many public officials who come from wealthy families, especially those who are idle, and there are many young men and girls from wealthy families. The rich generation does not want their children and grandchildren to work as hard as they do, but they hope that they can spend their lives in peace, leisurely, and without worries about food and clothing. Units such as the Cultural Bureau, Sports Bureau, and Science and Technology Bureau are obviously a safe place. A great place to retire safely.
But considering Chen Dong's age, the possibility of a rich second generation is not high. The second generation of rich people who are messing around are often relatively young. People like Chen Dong who are in their 40s must be 60 or 70 years old if their parents are rich. At this age, Chen Dong is 80% already involved in taking over the family business. Among the ranks of athletes, even within the system, it is impossible to be a cornered place like the Snow Association.
"Or maybe someone else invited Chen Dong here?" Zhang Guan couldn't rule out this possibility.
But Zhang Guan then thought about it again. Some companies will invite some people with encyclopedias to have fun and enjoy themselves in the name of meetings or studies. However, Qingshui Yamen like the Snow Association obviously does not have many opportunities to accept bribes, even if they are It's the level of three melons, two dates and half a pound of radish. It's absolutely impossible to travel all the way to a ski resort like Meribel in France and enjoy caviar that costs 300 US dollars per ounce. With Chen Dong's level and position, it still cannot reach that level of importance.
So there is only one explanation, and it is the one Zhang Guan least wants to see. But Zhang Guan still walked to the door and listened. He wanted to confirm whether his guess was true.
There were waves of voices urging people to drink, and there were cheers and hearty laughter.
"Come on, let's toast Secretary-General Chen together. If Secretary-General Chen hadn't been able to find the funds, we wouldn't be able to come to this place and eat so many good things!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Chen is still awesome, and the place he found is good. Look at the environment and the air. It's much better than where we are! The sky is so blue and the snow is so white. You can't find it even on Changbai Mountain. We’re in such a great place!”
"I heard that many big foreign stars come here for vacation. This time I will also enjoy the treatment of foreign stars. But Xiao Chen, I heard that the expenses here are not small!"
"Don't worry, everyone, since we are here, we have to eat well, drink and have fun, okay! This time we come out for an inspection, and we have 700,000 US dollars in inspection funds, and these funds are not allocated to the higher-ups, but are provided by our Snow Association itself Funds!" Chen Dong paused for a moment, and then said: "And everyone, please don't call me Secretary-General Chen. I am still a deputy. If others hear it, it will have a bad impact!"
"What kind of deputy secretary-general? Secretary-General Chu will be old next year. It's time to take a back seat. There will definitely be a deputy secretary-general promoted to him by then. I think it must be Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's ability is still... His character is obvious to all, and he is the most suitable to succeed Secretary-General Chu. At the very least, I will definitely support Xiao Chen, what do you think?"
"Of course, if you choose someone else, I, Lao Xiao, will be the first to refuse!"
"Yes, although the other deputy secretaries-general are also very capable, the selection of cadres must be based on the best of the best. Young and promising ones like Secretary-General Chen should be promoted. Secretary Chen Don’t worry, I will definitely vote for you when the time comes!”
"Then thank you all." Chen Dong's voice sounded again.
Outside the door, Zhang Guan's face was unprecedentedly gloomy. When he heard the $700,000, Zhang Guan even had the urge to rush out and cause trouble. Fortunately, he suppressed his anger, and behind him The conversation made Zhang Guan fully understand the ins and outs of the matter.
Chen Dong took 700,000 US dollars from Zhang Guan under the guise of raising training funds. However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Dong used the money to invite others to travel to Europe under the guise of an inspection. The purpose was to make people travel to Europe. He has a head start in next year's secretary-general election!
This result was something Zhang Guan never expected. When he donated money to various associations, he also considered that it was impossible to spend every penny on athletes. In the process, there would be unavoidable problems. There has always been a lack of effective measures in China. It is inevitable to get a few ounces of fat on your hands during the audit, and this rule cannot be changed by Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan even feels that most of it can be used on athletes to help them improve their training conditions and food conditions. Even if someone takes advantage of it, as long as it is better than before, Zhang Guan will be satisfied. .
Eat, drink, and get some. This is unavoidable. Sometimes even if 10 million is thrown out, the bulk will be "eat, drink, and get," and only a small portion will really fall on the athletes. But what Chen Dong did has exceeded the bottom line that Zhang Guan can accept. 700,000 US dollars, not only did not a penny fall on the athletes, but it became a bargaining chip for Chen Dong to gain promotion for himself!
Zhang Guan remembered that a week ago, Chen Dong cried in front of him and told about the difficulties of the ski team. Zhang Guan knew that what Chen Dong said was true and that the ski team was indeed in difficulty. So Zhang Guan gave Chen Dong 700,000 US dollars so that the ski team could continue training during the summer.
But at this time, Zhang Guan felt that the sincerity shown by Chen Dong at that time was more like a mockery of himself. Chen Dong took advantage of his kindness and sentiment. If he hadn't happened to agree to Schumacher's invitation, if he hadn't happened to go to the bathroom, if he hadn't happened to meet Chen Dong, Zhang Guan might have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life. He would even feel complacent that he had contributed to the domestic skiing movement. Made a contribution!
"Skiing is difficult? But with people like this, it's no wonder that skiing isn't difficult! Chen Dong and his ilk should be damned!"
Zhang Guan was completely angry. The next moment, he kicked open the door and rushed in.

PS: Zhang Guan was angry, and he was also angry when he passed the test. He glanced at the monthly ticket list, and it was too bleak! To be honest, I have never been in such a low position before. For a person who is working hard to become stronger, readers, can you please stop pouring cold water on him! Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, monthly ticket please! Now it's twelve o'clock in the evening again, and the temperature outside has dropped below zero. I am currently writing the fourth chapter wrapped in a quilt. Please give me a monthly ticket to give me the motivation to fight in the cold at night under the chandelier!
