Zhang Lin regretted coming to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Chengyi Group in his heart. He shouldn't have agreed to participate in this ceremony with Mo Ke. The real core of this scene today is Mork. He is here like an abdicated old king witnessing the coronation of the new king. The more polite others treat him, the more obscure the feeling in his heart. He does not need these false politeness , He wants to be the real core.
But Zhang Lin also knew that the days that belonged to him were gone forever, and now they are falling into the air, changing the world.
Mork did not feel the loss of Zhang Lin. He showed great respect for Zhang Lin. He shook hands with Zhang Lin enthusiastically, called Zhang Lin the old secretary, and said that after the old secretary left Haichuan, he did not come back to see. , It shouldn't be.
The title of old secretary made Zhang Lin's heart gloomy again, and his heart said that I am not much older than you, so why am I getting old? He blamed Mok in an intimate tone for not coming back to look at him, and he was also very uncomfortable. This tone of Mok has a subconscious premise, which seems to be that Mok’s identity is higher than him. It's a bit like parents blaming their children and saying you look at your child... Zhang Linxin said that although I have no real power, I am always a cadre higher than you. What qualifications do you have to say to me
Although he felt sorry for himself in his heart, Zhang Lin had a smile on his face and calmly said: "What Secretary Mo said, haven't I come back to Haichuan to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Chengyi Group?"
Mo Ke smiled and said: "That's the face you gave to Chengyi Group Shu Dong, not the face of Haichuan City. The comrades of Haichuan City are looking forward to the old secretary coming back to guide our work."
Zhang Lin knew in his heart that Mok’s remarks were nothing but nonsense. To say so was only a kind of respect for the former leader. You must not take it seriously. If you really want to come back to guide your work, then You won’t get anything other than being seen as a joke.
Originally, this kind of scene was just casual entertainment, but Zhang Lin had a thorn in Haichuan's heart, so he sneered and said: "I'm afraid some comrades in Haichuan City don't welcome me Zhang Lin's return, right?"
Everyone at the scene knew that some of the comrades Zhang Lin said were referring to Jin Da, the mayor of Haichuan City. Zhang Lin was arranged to go to the CPPCC by the provincial party committee because of an open fight with Jin Da. Jinda didn't get any benefits either, and a good city party committee secretary handed over to Mok. It is said that these two people are now the king but not the king, and they will not even say hello to each other when they meet in public.
Mork also knew what the lump in Zhang Lin's heart was, but he didn't want to follow Zhang Lin's topic in depth. Zhang Lin's words made him a little look down on him. The officialdom has always been a winner and loser. If you lose, you will give up. , You can't beat others because you have no abilities. Why do you post these useless complaints behind your back? It will only make people look down on you even more. He smiled and said, "How could it be, old secretary, you have contributed a lot to Haichuan today, and no one will not welcome you."
Shu Tao on the side also felt that Zhang Lin's words today were a bit sour. He said that what is the use of you complaining to these people? If you have the ability, you can deal with Jinda? He didn't want to let Zhang Lin continue to complain, so he smiled and said: "The time is almost up, let's go to the rostrum and sit down."
The group went to the rostrum and sat down. Because of the arrival of Zhang Lin and Mo Ke, all the leaders of the Haiping District teams were present, and the rostrum was full. Shu Tao first gave a speech to welcome the leaders and thank the leaders. For the strong support of Chengyi Group, Zhang Lin, vice chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was invited to give a speech.
With so many leaders present, it takes a bit of brainstorming to ask who to speak first and who to speak later. If the arrangement is not good, you will offend others. Let Zhang Lin speak first, to respect Zhang Lin's vice-provincial status. Zhang Lin said first, he needs to let Mok be the finale, and finally, to balance the two.
In his speech, Zhang Lin first praised Chengyi Group’s contribution to Haichuan’s economy over the years, and also expressed appreciation for Shu Tao’s support for the work of the Provincial CPPCC, and then his expectations for Chengyi Group’s Haiping District project... These are all clichés. According to Zhang Lin's propaganda, what he said was weak, and the listeners were also listless.
After Zhang Lin finished speaking, the secretary of the Haiping District Party Committee spoke. He first thanked the leaders of Zhang Lin and Mo Ke for being able to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony in their busy schedule. This represented the provincial CPPCC and the Haichuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Strong support for the work in Haiping District. Then he thanked the Chengyi Group for being able to invest in Haiping District. He believed that such a powerful group company of Chengyi Group would come to Haiping and it would definitely inject new vitality into the economy of Haiping District. Finally, he stated that he would coordinate the various departments of Haiping District and escort Chengyi Group's projects in Haiping District.
Mok finally spoke. He praised the outstanding contribution that Chengyi Group has made to Haichuan's economy over the years. He hoped that Chengyi Group's development in Haiping District would bring greater economic development to Haiping District.
At the end of the speech, each of the leaders sitting on the rostrum, Zhang Linmoke, took a shovel and dug a shovel and poured it on the foundation stone. The ceremony ended smoothly.
After the ceremony, Shu Tao and the leaders of the Haiping District invited Zhang Lin and Mo Ke to stay in Haiping District for lunch. Zhang Lin was originally going to stay, but this morning he saw the following officials treat him and the past. The difference made him feel very uncomfortable. These officials looked at him a little bit strangely, making him feel that he was staying again to eat this meal. So I felt more and more boring, and insisted that there will be activities in the afternoon, and I must hurry back to Qizhou.
Shu Tao might have also noticed that Zhang Lin's mood was not very good, so he didn't force him to stay. After Zhang Lin left, the highest-level official remaining was Mok, but Mok didn't want others to think that he and Shu Tao were close to each other. If he wanted to avoid suspicion, he said he had to rush back to Haichuan. , Declined the retention of the leaders of Haiping District, and took the car back to Haichuan.
In the end, only Shu Tao was left to accompany the leaders of the Haiping District for a meal. The groundbreaking ceremony was a bit anticlimactic, and Shu Tao was unavoidably boring in his heart. Mok didn’t want to get too close to him in public, he could understand it, and Zhang Lin was a little pretentious, and even refused to eat a single meal. This would inevitably make the leaders of the Haiping District despise Shu Tao.
But as long as Mok appeared at the ceremony, it was enough. Today Mok moderately showed his support for the Chengyi Group, which has left enough influence on the leaders of Haiping District. In addition, he and Mok’s wife some time ago The exchanges are very close. The leaders of Haiping District are not fools. They certainly don’t think that the exchange is only between him and Mrs. Mok. The relationship between him and Mok can already give these officials in Haiping District enough. Imagine the space, I believe that the operation of his project will definitely not be disturbed, at least the official will not interfere.
This is the basic routine for the operation of commercial projects on this land. Although many officials and successful businessmen have emphasized respect for business ethics in public, it is a foolish trick they are playing. If you really follow normal business Ethics to operate, then your business survival may be a problem, because normal business ethics in this land have not been established.
In this land, businessmen and officials have an interdependent relationship. Businessmen are the targets of officials’ power and rent-seeking. Officials obtain improper benefits from businessmen. Businessmen need to blend officials and use officials. Our right to win in the competition with other businessmen.
The interests of businessmen and officials are actually inseparable, so sometimes businessmen also need to learn to play politics and look at style just like officials. Because the rise and fall of a company is often tied to one person, once there is something wrong with the official you rely on, it will most likely be a disaster for your company.
In Qizhou, Secretary Lu Ji’s office, Lu Ji looked at Deng Zifeng who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, “Old Deng, this has been busy all the time, and there is no time to communicate with you, how about it? Are you still used to Donghae?"
Deng Zifeng glanced at Lu Ji. He didn't understand why Lu Ji called him specifically. Lu Ji wouldn't be specifically looking for him to communicate. There must be something to talk to him. He smiled and said: "When I first came, I was a little uncomfortable. The climate here is much drier than Lingnan Province, which made me a little angry. But now I have gradually adapted."
Lu Ji smiled and said, "I felt the same about this. The biggest difference between the north and the south is the dry climate, but they don’t have the habit of boiling soup in the south, and they have no idea of getting angry. I just came here. When I was here, I told the people here that I wanted to eat some vegetables. They mixed me with a cucumber and treated it as a vegetable."
Deng Zifeng smiled. He knew that while southerners cannot do without soup, they also cannot do without green leafy vegetables. This kind of green leafy vegetables does not need to be too good. The most common vegetables like water spinach, sweet potato leaves, and mustard greens will do. , But it is indispensable on the table of southerners, southerners do not eat green leafy vegetables a day, they will feel uncomfortable.
Deng Zifeng said: "Yes, the people here are used to being big fish and meat, and I really don't know what vegetables are. But this is just a little trouble in life, and I will gradually get used to it."
Lu Ji nodded and said, "Yes, the troubles in life will gradually adapt. There are no problems with work, right?"
Deng Zifeng smiled and said, "Secretary Lu, what on earth do you want to talk to me? I am a relatively straightforward person, and I like to be straightforward. Please don't go around with me, okay?"
