Tang Chang took Tian Hai to knock on the door of Mr. Xu's room. Mr. Xu opened the door for them. The room smelled of cigar and tobacco. Tian Hai saw Mr. Xu holding a lit cigar in his hand.
Mr. Xu smiled and let the two of them into the room to sit down, then opened the cigar box and said, "Can you two smoke cigars?"
Tang Chang and Tian Hai both shook their heads and said not to suck.
Mr. Xu said: "This box of cigars is produced in Havana, Cuba. A friend helped me get it from the Cuban Embassy. The taste is very authentic. I especially like to smoke him in the morning after a hangover. The headache will soon heal. , President Tang, don't you really try one?"
Tang Chang smiled and said, "I don't dare, I'm afraid it will hurt even more if I pull my head."
Mr. Xu closed the cigar box and said with a smile: "Then you two don't mind if I smoke?"
Tian Hai and Tang Chang both said they didn't mind.
Mr. Xu smiled and pointed to Zhi Tian Hai and said, "Mr Tang, is this your relative?"
Tang Chang said: "Yes, this is my cousin Tian Hai, the deputy director of the Haichuan Agricultural Bureau."
Mr. Xu smiled and shook hands with Tian Hai, and said, "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
Tian Hai also greeted Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, you are a good relative, the deputy director of the Haichuan Agricultural Bureau. The level is not low, right?"
Tian Hai smiled and said: "What's good, Mr. Xu doesn't know anything. Our Bureau of Agriculture is a Qingshui Yamen, and I'm a deputy. It's really hard to say what's good."
Mr. Xu said, "Don’t be dissatisfied with Deputy Director Tian. You see how good you are. You don’t have to work and you have a salary, you have a car when you go out, and you eat in a hotel. It’s already very good. It’s like businessmen like us. Stop, running around every day, just for a bite of food."
Tian Hai said: "Rice is not the same as rice. If I can earn this way like Mr. Xu, I will be satisfied."
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "The suffering of one family is not in it, and I don't know its taste."
Tang Chang said to Mr. Xu: "Yes, all have their own difficulties. My cousin has long been a deputy director, but after so many years of frustration, he is only a deputy director who respectfully accompany the last seat. He is talking to me today. I feel sorry for this. Mr. Xu, can you give him a hand?"
Mr. Xu's face suddenly sank, he glanced at Tang Chang dissatisfiedly, and said, "Mr. Tang, didn't I tell you not to tell people that I know so and so?"
Tang Chang was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't say it?"
Mr. Xu said: "You didn't say that I'm just a businessman, and I'm not an official broker. You didn't say that you would let me take your cousin? Why should I?"
Tang Chang was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly. He argued: "No, Mr. Xu, my cousin asked me what I did when I came to Haichuan this time. I told him that you were the guest invited by Deputy Secretary Qin, and he had some thoughts. I asked you to recommend him to Deputy Secretary Qin. I really didn't mention the relationship between you and XX."
Mr. Xu took advantage of the question, just to deliberately tell the relationship between him and XX. Hearing what Tang Chang said, his face showed embarrassment, and he smiled and said: "That's because I misunderstood you. I'm sorry, Tang General. You know, so-and-so is very taboo for me to swear by his name, and I'm a little sensitive about it."
Tang Chang smiled and said, "It's okay, I can understand it."
Mr. Xu looked at Tian Hai again and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Deputy Director Tian, you shouldn't let you see me getting angry."
Tian Hai smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Mr. Xu went on to say: "Now I have said this matter again. I really shouldn't. I have to ask Deputy Director Tian to keep it secret to me."
Tian Hai said: "Okay, don't worry, Mr. Xu, I won't talk about this to outsiders."
Mr. Xu said: "I believe you are a tight-spoken person."
Tang Chang said, "Then what I just said, please give me a hand, what do you think of Mr. Xu?"
Mr. Xu showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "This is not good. So and so often says that we, those around him, don't participate in politics. It will have a bad influence on him."
Tang Chang accompanied with a smile and said: "This matter does not need to alarm the old man so and so, as long as Mr. Xu greets Deputy Secretary Qin privately, and asks Deputy Secretary Qin to bother with my brother's promotion and use. Is it done?"
Mr. Xu looked at Tian Hai. He could see from Tian Hai’s eyes that Tian Hai hoped that he could agree to it. Judging from the current situation, he is also confident that as long as he makes this request to Qin Tun, Qin Tun will do his best to achieve this. Thing. However, he didn't want to just agree to Tang Chang so easily, it would affect his ability to ask prices too easily.
Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "Where can things be so simple? Do you listen to me because of Deputy Secretary Qin?"
Tang Chang smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, this is not true of you. I clearly remember what Deputy Secretary Qin said to you. He said that when he was a deputy secretary, he was the same as you. That said, it doesn't take much for you to talk to him, right?"
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "That's just what Deputy Secretary Qin said impulsively after drinking. It's hard to take it seriously. If I really take this seriously, I promised you, and he refuses me when I turn back, I won't be able to talk. Up."
Tang Chang glanced at Mr. Xu, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and asked me what kind of relationship is between you and Qin Tun, am I not clear? Even at XX Qin Tun, I dare not refuse you. He wanted to question Mr. Xu very much, but if he really wanted to question, he would tell the story of Mr. Xu using XX to seek an official in Qintun. This is not appropriate. Originally, he said he wanted to keep a secret for Mr. Xu to know XX.
It seems that Tian Hai is very embarrassed to see Mr. Xu. It is the first time that he does such a thing as a running official. He has a guilty conscience. It is not Tang Chang who encouraged him. He might not come at all. Now that he sees this situation, he feels Retired.
Tian Hai glanced at Tang Chang and said, "Cousin, let's not embarrass Mr. Xu. In fact, I can be the deputy director. It is more than enough."
Tang Chang felt more awkward. It was he who incited Tian Hai to come to Mr. Xu, thinking that Mr. Xu would see him help his cousin because of the face that he had brought him to Qin Tun. He did not expect that Mr. Xu would not take him at all. Back to the matter, Tang Chang couldn't get off the stage.
Tang Chang looked at Mr. Xu and said, "Mr. Xu, I made a special trip to accompany you to Haichuan. You don't help with my cousin. It's a bit unreasonable, right?"
Mr. Xu saw that Tian Hai had already retreated. This was not okay. Originally, he wanted to stretch the other party to raise the asking price, but he didn't want to stretch the other party away. Seeing that Tang Chang said this, he just borrowed the donkey from Po Xia, so he said with a smile : "Mr Tang, I don't want to help, you can help with this favor, but..."
Mr. Xu hesitated and did not say the following. Although Tian Hai is honest, he is a man who has experienced so many years in officialdom. He still understands a little bit of humanity and sophistication, so he smiled and said: "If Mr. Xu needs any money, it will be great. It can be said clearly."
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "I think you also understand that in this society, everything needs to be exchanged for benefits. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Qin Tun said that to me because he used certain benefits from me. It was there in exchange for the benefits he wanted, and now I am going to ask him to help me do things, I am afraid I will have to pay a certain price. People are so realistic."
Tang Chang smiled and said, "This is what it should be. Besides, we don't want Mr. Xu to run errands in vain."
Tian Hai was already convinced of Mr. Xu at this moment. Seeing Mr. Xu let go, he hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Xu, you can rest assured, I will bear the expenses."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "It’s good if you two understand me. This is not what I want, but it’s what Deputy Secretary Qin wants. Actually, it’s not that I want to earn something from this. To be honest, I don’t like this little money. , But I can’t post money up, am I?"
Tian Hai smiled and said: "Of course not, this should be done by me, I don't know how much is needed?"
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "I don't know what Deputy Secretary Tian wants Deputy Secretary Qin to do for you? I don't know if Deputy Secretary Qin can meet your satisfaction."
Tian Hai said: "I, the deputy director, have been working for many years, and I really want to get a regular job, or transfer me to a better bureau, let me take care of something. Our Agriculture Bureau is really too clean."
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "I guess Deputy Secretary Qin can do this request. Let's see, for the sake of Mr. Tang's face, you can spend one hundred thousand for the expenses, and I will help you achieve this wish."
One hundred thousand yuan is not a big number for Tian Hai, and it would be a good deal if he could really get him to become a regular employee.
Tian Hai said, "Okay, I'll bring you the money when I look back."
Mr. Xu smiled, and the fool gave another income. It seemed that this trip to Haichuan was really not in vain.
In the evening, Qin Tun came to Mr. Xu's room again and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I will take you to a good place to play in the evening.
Mr. Xu asked, where is it? "
Qin Tun smiled and said: "A leisure villa, very fun, there are a lot of things that men like to play with."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Then I have to meet with Deputy Secretary Qin."
Qin Tun said: "Where is Mr. Tang?"
Mr. Xu said: "Mr Tang's cousin came here in the morning. We had a few drinks together. It is estimated that he is resting in the room now."
Qin Tun said: "Call him over so we can start."
Mr. Xu said: "Don't worry, I have something to tell Deputy Secretary Qin. Mr. Tang's cousin, Deputy Secretary Qin, do you know him?"
Qin Tun said: "I haven't seen him very much, but I heard Mr. Tang once mentioned that he has a cousin who is the deputy director of the Bureau of Agriculture."
Mr. Xu said: "Yes, that's this person. He said that he wanted to make progress this morning. Mr. Tang asked me to ask Deputy Secretary Qin to see if Deputy Secretary Qin could help him."
