Tonight we have booked the Guixiangyuan in the Triumph Restaurant, which is the most luxuriously decorated private room in the entire restaurant. There is a giant dining table inside that can accommodate 30 people.
There is a crystal sculpture placed in the center of the dining table. It is said that Bai Jinglei imported a huge piece of crystal from France and carved it by a famous domestic art master.
Everyone sat down in order, and the dishes were prepared in advance. Bai Jinglei soon arranged for people to serve the dishes.
She didn't even dare to speak on this occasion and just acted according to the look in the eyes of Wu Chulin, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
"Old leader, you came from our Langning City. We young boys all followed you back then. If it hadn't been for your open eyes, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today! We will never forget your kindness. .”
Wu Chulin poured the wine himself, so there was no need to hide it on such occasions. The Maotai wine was placed openly on the table.
The other leaders all sat upright and smiled. No one dared to touch Tan Qunfeng until he moved his chopsticks.
Tan Zijin knew that his grandfather was not feeling well, and when he was about to remind him to drink less, he was stopped by Tan Yang's eyes.
Tan Qunfeng looked at the liquor in the cup and slowly raised it:
"Xiao Wu, I have actually given up drinking for many years. My blood pressure is high, and my liver has not been working well in the past few years. But I still have to drink this glass of wine today. You are all the backbone of Langning City, and it will be almost a while before I leave. It has been ten years, and I am very pleased to see this from the airport today. You have indeed made outstanding achievements for the people of Langning City."
Wu Chulin was extremely excited when he received the praise from his leader, and quickly asked everyone to raise a toast together:
"The old leader is far away in Beijing, but he still cares about the development of our Langning city. As his subordinates, we feel a great honor. Come, let's raise a drink and wish the old leader good health and greater glory."
"good!"
After a glass of wine, Tan Qunfeng and Wu Chulin learned about the development of Langning City. Wu Chulin also reported the good news but not the bad news, exaggerating the good sides and keeping the bad sides under wraps.
Finally, Tan Qunfeng brought the topic to Wantong County Secretary Xu Xiaoman.
"What's Xiaoman's position now? Why didn't she come?"
When he was working at the Langning Municipal Committee ten years ago, this little girl worked very hard and left a very deep impression on him.
Wu Chulin, Mayor Sun Changhe and others looked at each other in confusion.
Xu Xiaoman's level is not eligible to be invited tonight.
But of course they couldn't say that. Sun Changhe smiled and said: "Old leader, Xiaoman is going to have an operation recently and won't be able to come at the moment."
"Surgery? What surgery?"
Sun Changhe didn't know much about the details of the operation, so he glanced at Tan Zijin.
Tan Zijin held Tan Qunfeng's arm and said, "Grandpa, Secretary Xu has interstitial nephritis, but a kidney source has been found, and a kidney transplant is being prepared."
When he heard that Xu Xiaoman was going to have a kidney transplant, Tan Qunfeng showed worry on his face: "Is it so serious? Did the hospital say hello? You must ask a senior doctor to do the surgery. Xiaoman is a bit of a jerk, but she is a good friend of the people." Officer, the operation must go smoothly."
Tan Qunfeng's words were filled with deep concern.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, everything has been arranged."
"That's good!"
Wu Chulin, Sun Changhe and others felt a little uncomfortable when they heard him praise a cadre at the division level.
Because Wu Chulin is currently considering demoting Xu Xiaoman. She has failed to achieve results in Wantong County for so many years. She has also driven away a number of private enterprises, causing many problems.
Soon this topic was covered up by the atmosphere created by the leaders.
In the box, cups were exchanged, and the chief officers of the four teams in Langning City came forward to toast Tan Qunfeng one by one. Tan Qunfeng drank with them with tea instead of wine.
The most embarrassing person in the room was Deputy County Magistrate Qiu Zhendong.
He is the only county-level unit leader and has the lowest position among those present.
Because today's banquet was held in Wantong County, he knew the local security environment best, so he didn't even ask the municipal police chief to come forward and left everything to him.
He works as a security guard, so he doesn't dare to drink. Police will have to be mobilized to escort these leaders home safely.
Halfway through the wine party, Tan Qunfeng began to care about his beloved granddaughter Tan Zijin:
"Zijin, your Aunt Xiaoman is not feeling well. I understand your character very well. You must do your duty and be responsible to the end. The burden on your shoulders must be quite big!"
Tan Zijin is very smart. She knows that her grandfather must not have asked this for no reason.
Grandpa is sending her rain!
"Grandpa, to tell you the truth, this period of time is indeed quite difficult."
Her words were well-chosen, not only expressing the fact that Wantong County is not easy, but also not making the municipal leaders present feel that her words were excessive.
Tan Qunfeng quickly took over the conversation: "Well, if you have any difficulties, you have to raise them. The uncles and aunts here today are all your elders, but at the same time they are also the parents and officials of Langning City. I understand your small and broken county. When I was in the municipal party committee ten years ago, I knew that it was not easy to develop in that place. Today you openly talk about the difficulties in front of your uncle and aunt."
After saying this, Wu Chulin, Sun Changhe and others felt very uncomfortable.
Wantong County is a poor county, how easy is it to develop? Even if all resources are allocated, it will be difficult to see results within three to five years.
But now that the old leader has spoken, they can only force out a smile.
"Of course, of course, that's what the old leader said. Zijin, it's a rare opportunity today. The chief officials of various departments of the municipal party committee are present. If you need help in any aspect, we can directly solve it. Hahaha!"
Wu Chulin said it generously, but Tan Zijin was not polite.
In the past few years in Wantong County, she has witnessed with her own eyes the various suppressions faced by Xu Xiaoman in the city. Wantong County's economic ranking is at the bottom. There are objective factors and human factors.
"Thank you, Secretary Wu, for being so considerate of our poor small county, Wantong. I would like to thank you on behalf of Secretary Xu, and thank you uncles and aunties for your enthusiastic help!"
Wu Chulin and others smiled enthusiastically: "Easy to say, easy to say!"
Tan Zijin turned his attention to Liang Xuebing, director of the Municipal Finance Bureau: "Director Liang, our Wantong County recently submitted a review document for special funds. Have you read it?"
Liang Xuebing was sweating. Jiang Chunlai, the section chief of the Industrial Services Section, had indeed handed him the information, but he hadn't had time to read it.
On this occasion, even Wu Chulin spoke up, and Liang Xuebing did not dare to treat Tan Zijin as a serious cadre in a small county town.
His keen political vigilance made him realize that if he answered this question poorly, it would have a huge impact on his future career.
He moved his body slightly to the side and faced Tan Zijin, allowing Tan Qunfeng to see his face clearly. At this time, he seemed to be giving a promotion report.
"Comrade Zijin, I have read that document. I have been paying attention to the economic situation of Wantong County, so this afternoon the approval specialist handed it over to me for review as soon as he received the document."
Liang Xuebing swallowed and continued: "This special fund of ours is actually just to help the development of economically backward counties. In the first half of the year, Secretary Wu and Mayor Sun had already made a decision at the city's mid-year economic summary meeting The keynote is that all counties in the city must run forward at one pace, and there must be no long or short legs. Running with long or short legs will definitely not be fast. So the key work in the second half of the year is to cure the short legs."
After saying this, he glanced at Wu Chulin and Sun Changhe from the corner of his eye. They didn't show anything, but Tan Zijin was very happy.
"With Director Liang's words, we feel more confident. After all, our Wantong County leadership team has not received any special funds from the city for two consecutive terms."
After Tan Zijin finished speaking, the hearts of almost everyone in the entire box were in their throats.
The two chief officers, Wu Chulin and Sun Changhe, even looked hot.
Only Qiu Zhendong praised Tan Zijin's courage in his heart. She had a strong background and could not bear to look at the faces of Wu Chulin and others. She just took advantage of this rare opportunity to benefit the people of Wantong County.
