The security guards accompanied them into the reserve courtyard with smiling faces, and then a young man wearing a black shirt came out of the office building, walked up to them and said, "Hello everyone, I am the confidential secretary of the Secretariat Office. The assistant general secretary has invited me. .”
The deputy general secretary as this secretary calls him is equivalent to the deputy to the second-in-command of the Shaanxi Provincial Government. The Xijing Government can send out the deputy general secretary, which shows that they attach great importance to attracting investment.
The group of people walked around countless flower gardens and arrived at the Secretary Building, which is a Chinese-style pavilion quite close to the office. After entering, they could see middle-aged men in suits and ties standing in front of a round table. Other than that, there were only the people who led them in. Secretary, and two guards outside the door.
"Miss Song, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect to see you here?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He had a diamond-shaped face, jet-black skin, and a neat and tidy head with Panax notoginseng oil. He was wearing an improved "Chinese" suit, with four pockets turned up on the collar. He was wearing black leather shoes. , with a pen in his pocket and a pocket watch, gun-gray glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a bookish air about him, he looked like an elegant official.
Seeing the middle-aged man's tone towards Song Siyuan, he thought that the two of them had known each other for a long time!
Song Siyuan hurriedly reached out and said warmly: "Brother Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect that we could meet again so far away."
"Song Qianjin, it depends on what you mean. You two know each other, so you have to introduce us. We are all staring at each other. Just looking at you two fighting here, we don't know what's going on."
Yue Guanchao looked at the two of them. There are many ways to get to know each other when they are away from home. Song Siyuan turned around and explained to everyone the middle-aged man in front of her: "His name is Gao Shengzheng, and he is the assistant general secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Government."
When mentioning official positions, it is inevitable to go too far. To make a long story short, we must first explain the organizational situation of Shaanxi Province clearly before we can continue the discussion.
The system of local government in the Republic of China has been changed again and again after several wars. At this age, the highest official of a province has become the governor-general, responsible for the military affairs, finance and taxation of the province. Under the governor-general, there are two The assistant is the person with the most power besides the governor of a province.
Governors and assistants are all foreign-appointed officials. They are not selected from local officials, but are appointed by the General Administration Council in the capital. This also results in the most powerful officials in a province who are not familiar with the folk customs and affairs of the province to be managed and impose policies by force. Management can easily go wrong, which can lead to misdirection and misdirection of the people.
In order for these high-ranking officials to take over smoothly, before their arrival, the General Affairs Council will select smart and capable local officials as secretaries, and temporarily transfer these secretaries to the General Affairs Council in the capital, allowing them to study for a short period, and then let them follow The high-ranking officials returned to the province to handle daily general affairs for the governor and assistants, and played the role of communication and coordination.
The person who does these things is the assistant secretary. Among the secretaries, there is one with the highest status, called the assistant general secretary, who is in charge of other assistant secretaries.
Gao Shengzheng is the Deputy General Secretary of Shaanxi Province. He represents the Shaanxi Provincial Government and is resident in the Preparatory Court. His status is far higher than that of the mayor of Xijing. Of course, he can also influence the Preparatory Court.
"Thank you, thank you. I'm just a secretary. I don't dare to be praised by Miss Song like this."
The modesty and self-control in General Secretary Gao's words, whether it was false or pretentious, at least made people feel very comfortable. Scholars don't like to be quick-tongued, and people can't make mistakes when they speak.
"Brother Gao, don't be humble. You are the best in the Xiuzheng Hall in the capital. Otherwise, the capital would not send you to Xijing. This is a large city in the northwest. There is hope that it will be the capital in the future. If you can do it, Well, in the future he will probably be a provincial assistant, and it might be a good idea to be transferred to the General Administration Bureau in the capital."
Song Siyuan complimented Gao Shengzheng. Although she didn’t know whether these words could be realized in the Year of the Monkey, it was a happy thing to say. The deputy position was changed to a full-time position, and the local government was transferred to the capital. Every official wanted to hear these words. Although the general secretary waved his hands repeatedly, However, there are already a few crow's feet in his eyes from laughter, which is obviously a sign of good use.
"Hahahahaha, all right, all right, take your seats as soon as possible. I've asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet. Why don't we talk while we eat."
Gao Shengzheng waved his hand, and the confidential secretary had already sent someone to bring the banquet out. The delicious dishes were served to the table one by one.
"Steamed gourd chicken, warm shredded kidneys, stuffed elbows with soy sauce, pot fish in milk soup, steamed pot vegetables, Shaanxi minced pork, Shaanxi minced pork, roasted three delicacies, Shangzhi pork, water shield and sour tripe soup, and three-skin shredded pork belly, are all Some home-cooked dishes, it’s your first time coming to Shaanxi, so you can try the local dishes here.”
When Gao Shengzheng saw his secretary finishing the dishes, he looked at Song Siyuan and introduced the dishes. He said they were home-cooked dishes just to be modest. Everyone knew that these dishes were famous dishes.
"Brother Gao, these are all famous dishes from Shaanxi. We first arrived in Shaanxi. Apart from eating a bowl of mutton steamed buns, we haven't seen so many good things. Today is considered a waste of money for you."
Song Siyuan looked at the dishes. When it came to the banquet alone, Gao Shengzheng had really spent a lot of money. It was probably because they were here to talk about attracting investment that they spent so much money preparing this sumptuous banquet.
I just don’t know what Gao Shengzheng will do if she tells her the purpose of coming today?
