"Mayor Mu, don't be too modest. When we were your age, we were still working hard at the grassroots level. I was just a party secretary in a township. At your age, you are a mayor and departmental cadre in a provincial capital city. Although Jinshan The city's economic aggregate is currently ranked behind temporarily, but, using what you just said

In other words, in time, there will definitely be some achievements. "Liu Judao, the mayor of Qingshan City, also said with emotion.

"My experience is similar to that of Mayor Gu Dao. I was the mayor of a small town at that time. Compared with Mayor Mu, there is a world of difference!"

Main text Chapter 379 Each is moved (one asks for flowers)

The two sang together and praised Mu Guoxing, but Mu Guoxing didn't take it seriously in his heart. He knew how he was able to sit where he is today.He always believed that this was nothing to brag about.Therefore, he wouldn't let the praise of these two people make him flustered and don't know why.

Mu Guoxing said sincerely to Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao: "You two mayors, don't praise me too much. It is because of the right time, place and people that I can sit in this position today, and luck is very much involved. It can’t be compared with the two mayors’ hard work.”

When Mu Guoxing said this, the service staff had already started serving the dishes, and every dish was exquisite and extravagant.The directors of the three offices also gave full play to their talents, and followed the waiters to work around.It's no wonder, in front of the leader, who doesn't want to show off?

Among the three directors, Director Ma was younger, so Director Ma pushed away the waiter who came to serve, and poured wine for the mayors one by one without hesitation.

sit with the host

Zhang Rongfu, who was in the seat, raised his wine glass first and said: "Today, Mayor Gu Dao and I are very happy to meet Mayor Mu. I hope our three cities will strengthen cooperation and develop together in the future. I will respect Mayor Mu first for this glass of wine!" "

Now that the wine has been drunk, it doesn't matter, you respect me, I respect you and so on.Some people say that wine is a catalyst that brings people closer together. This sentence is still very correct on this occasion.Anyway, the three of them became very close after drinking a few glasses of wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Rongfu said without losing the opportunity: "Mayor Guoxing said just now that luck is very important. This is how I see it. Being able to have luck all the time is a manifestation of one's own strength. In the officialdom Luck is indeed very important for the upper class." After Zhang Rongfu said these words, the wine table was a little dull for a while, and everyone was thinking about this problem independently.

Speaking of luck, this thing is invisible and intangible, but it does exist.For example, Lin Hao, Mu Guoxing's secretary, is an example.Before he served as Mu Guoxing's secretary, he also served as the former mayor Tian Zhenghe's secretary for less than three months. After Tian Zhenghe returned him to the secretarial department, he became a small staff member. It was precisely because of this Lin Haocai was not implicated after Tian Zhenghe's downfall.

Later, when Mu Guoxing was selecting a secretary, if Cui Wenqiang hadn't strongly recommended his grandson-in-law, which aroused Mu Guoxing's disgust, and then asked the deputy secretary-general Gao Tianyi to show him all the secretary's information, Lin Hao would not have stood out again.Re-elected as secretary to the mayor.

Therefore, in the officialdom, when some people talk about how they are about to retire and are still a small deputy department, they often say that his luck is bad.

"Okay, okay, these words are far away." Zhang Rongfu broke the silence on the wine table in time, and said with a little guilt: "Today we said that we invited Mayor Guoxing to come over for dinner, but in fact we came here with malicious intentions." Yes. Presumably, Mayor Guoxing has already seen through our tricks that can’t be put on the table. I thought Mayor Guoxing would refuse to come, but I didn’t expect him to agree so readily. This makes me a little hard to say gone."

Liu Judao also said in time: "I am also very embarrassed to talk about small tricks. I asked our director to tell Director Ma that he wanted to talk to Mayor Guoxing about the cooperative development of the two cities. .”

Mu Guoxing smiled at the two of them, thinking, these two people are really

It's very straightforward. It's really unexpected that someone who sits in this position can be so frank with others.Since both of them have said that, it's not good if they don't say anything.

"I can somewhat guess the thoughts and purpose of the two of you. Now our five northwestern provinces are economically underdeveloped areas. This time, the central government can hold such an important meeting in our five northwestern provinces. The development of the conference has begun to pay attention. Who can get the venue of this conference this time, the huge benefits in it are obvious. So it is understandable that everyone wants to fight for this matter."

"Mayor Guoxing, I see that you are very familiar with the leaders of the Development and Reform Commission, so why did you sit with us in their reception room all afternoon?" Zhang Rongfu asked puzzled.

This question was also what Liu Judao wanted to know. After hearing Zhang Rongfu's words, he also focused on Mu Guoxing.

"Hehe, I'm familiar with Deputy Director Yao of the National Development and Reform Commission, but I don't want to take advantage of this relationship casually. If such trivial things bother others, what should I do if there are big things in the future?"

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, everyone nodded, and no one continued to talk about this topic.

Zhang Rongfu saw that everyone was silent again, so he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Why are you silent again? What Mayor Guoxing said just now is not unreasonable. However, there are some things that we can rely on alone. It is very difficult to achieve the goal, and proper use of some external forces can also achieve twice the result with half the effort. I seem to have no hope this time, and I will go back home in a few days."

After a pause, Zhang Rongfu raised his wine glass and touched Mu Guoxing, then said: "Mayor Guoxing, can you do me a favor before I go back, I also know that we made such a request when we first met , It’s not appropriate, and I didn’t want to say it at this time, but after I saw the behavior of Mayor Guoxing, I changed my mind now.”

"Hehe, Mayor Rongfu, I understand your request. I'm afraid not only you have this idea, but also Mayor Gudao! Since we met in the capital, it also shows that the three cities are destined to each other. Do you want me to make an appointment for you to meet Director Tao, if that's the case, I can help you with that."

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, seeing Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao heaved a sigh of relief, and knew that he had guessed right, so he waited for their answer with a smile.

Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao showed a slight embarrassment on their faces, and they nodded together in embarrassment. These two people had already thought about it before asking Mu Guoxing to come over. Mu Guoxing may agree to help this favor, but he won't So happy, I am afraid that it will take some bargaining to achieve this goal.In particular, since Zhang Rongfu's city's economic aggregate is much larger than that of Jinshan City, he believes that even if Mu Guoxing agrees, he will make some requests to sign some documents such as economic cooperation projects with Yincheng City.So he also set a bottom line for himself, as long as Mu Guoxing's request is not excessive, he will agree.

Although both of them had some ideas of one kind or another, they didn't expect that everything prepared in advance would be of no use at all.The family agreed so readily.

"Mayor Guoxing, I won't say anything today. I'm ashamed of myself just because of your grandeur and courage. It is inevitable that you can achieve this position at a young age. Come on, Guoxing Mayor Xing, I offer you a toast!" Zhang Rongfu said with admiration in his heart.

Liu Judao then picked up his wine glass and said to Mu Guoxing: "Mayor Guoxing, look at what you did today, and think about my plan. I feel that my heart is a little dirty. Just because of you If you Jinshan City cannot achieve full development during your term of office, there will be no reason for you. I also respect you for this cup!"

After Liu Judao finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the glass in front of him. Director Ma filled his glass with wine.Liu Judao looked at his director, Zhang Tongyou, and then at Director Ma, and said, "Director Zhang, Jinshan City is really strong and has no weak soldiers!"

Just this one sentence made Zhang Tongyou blush and have a thick neck.It was the first time for him to be criticized by the leader by name in front of everyone.

"You two mayors, please don't be so happy. I'll put the ugly words in front of you. I can introduce you to Director Tao. However, how to do it and what to do is your own business. From now on , I won’t help anymore.” Mu Guoxing said with a smile, and vaccinated the two of them in advance.

In fact, Mu Guoxing was not indifferent to introducing Director Tao to these two people.

He had thought about it, and he had weighed it. If Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao were introduced to Director Tao, it would not have any impact on Jinshan City's competition for the venue of the meeting.

As Director Tao, he would not be so stupid as to ignore Deputy Director Yao's suggestion and give the location of the bid city to either of the two of them, even if it is not sympathetic, and give the names of both of their cities. If you report it, you will be blocked when the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission conduct specific research.Taking a step back, the National Development and Reform Commission did not stop them and reported to the State Council. As a vice premier in charge of the economy, could his father, Mu Congjun, bend his elbow outward?the answer is negative!Besides, Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao didn't necessarily ask Mu Guoxing to introduce Director Tao for them because of this incident.If you think so, isn't that an insult to the IQ of the two of them?

Main body 3 Chapter [-] sees Director Tao again (asking for flowers at the second watch)

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, as the name suggests, is a place specially used to receive foreign heads of state and government heads who are visiting China.This place used to be a palace for emperors to travel and play, and it is also one of the most famous gardens in the capital.It has a history of hundreds of years so far.

With the reform and opening up, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has also begun commercial operation and management.When there are no important foreign affairs activities, it can also be opened to the outside world in name, and ordinary people can also go there for consumption and enjoyment.But the premise is that you have to be able to afford the money, and you have to be able to book a seat.

This is where Mu Guoxing hosted the banquet for Director General Tao tonight.The three directors of the Beijing Office had come to make arrangements in advance as early as four o'clock in the afternoon. Although these three people had many high-end places where some heads of ministries and commissions were entertained, it was the first time for them to entertain guests at a state guesthouse.It is inevitable that there will be some novelty and excitement.

It's no wonder they feel this way. Among the guests they entertained, the biggest ranks in some ministries and commissions are just some directors and office directors of divisions. I dare not even think about it.

In addition to this reason, there is another important reason, whether you can enter this place and whether you can book a banquet hall is the main thing.

Although on the surface it is said that ordinary people can also go in and consume, but in fact there are many rules and regulations, and the threshold is also very high.First of all, you have to make a reservation ten to fifteen days in advance. After going through the necessary review by the hotel's internal security department, you must also obtain a certificate issued by the applicant's local public security department. After so many cumbersome procedures, you can honestly listen at home. Let me know.

As a result, it is still some powerful people who come here to consume.Even people who have been greeted by some dignitaries.These people are still ordinary people in name, but all of them are either rich or expensive, and have a lot of money.

According to the agreed time, when Mu Guoxing arrived at the banquet hall, he found that Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao had already arrived.After yesterday's gathering, everyone became familiar with each other, so there was a lot less politeness, and after a little greeting, they walked into the banquet hall together.The three of them were very satisfied when they saw all the arrangements in the banquet hall, and they all smiled at the same time.

"Mayor Guoxing

, how did you think of setting the banquet venue here?I know that this place has not been booked in advance, and ordinary people cannot enter.When I was in the party school, I met a classmate who was also in the capital city. Before graduation, he said he would invite us to come here to get together and have a look at the scenery. As a result, he didn’t book a banquet hall until I left the capital city.how did you do it? "

"Hehe, I also happen to have an acquaintance here. I said hello to him and walked through the back door, so I can book a banquet hall here."

With the smartness of Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao, once they heard Mu Guoxing's words, they knew that there were truths and falsehoods in them, and there was a lot of moisture.However, they didn't say it clearly, so they couldn't continue to ask.I had no choice but to pretend to be suddenly enlightened, and nodded again and again.

After looking at the time, the time agreed with Director Tao was almost here. Mu Guoxing asked for opinions from Zhang Rongfu and Liu Judao, and the three of them walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, ready to welcome Director Tao right here. .

At this time, a group of people came to the entrance, giggling and chirping as if there was no one else present, among them were very fashionable young women and handsome young men.According to the time

In fashionable words, it can be classified as the group of people with little faces.

There are also one or two middle-aged men, but they walk relatively far behind.A young man in his thirties who was surrounded by these people and walked in front looked very handsome at a cold glance, but judging from his swollen eyeballs, it was clear that this person was drinking too much and had a very frequent night life.There are also one or two handsome men and beautiful women Mu Guoxing looks familiar, but he can't think of where he saw them.

"Mayor Mu, among the group of people who passed by just now, several of them are movie stars. They are very popular in China, and even have a little reputation internationally." Director Ma looked at Mu Guoxing who had been watching The group of people introduced in a low voice behind.

"Oh! These people are people from the entertainment industry? I said why do they look so familiar!" Mu Guoxing had never been to a movie theater except for going to a few movies with Zhong Ling during the party school last year. .

He set up the private luxury theater in Shuanglong Building in Jinshan City, except for a few of his women who occasionally go to him to see it in their spare time, it is basically idle there.Therefore, he is not familiar with these film and television stars who have attracted the attention of many fans.

Well, it's no surprise.From this point of view alone, Mu Guoxing really seemed a little out of tune.

"The characters in these film and television circles are superficially beautiful, but they don't even have the most basic right to privacy. Look at the reports of the stars by the paparazzi in Hong Kong. There are all kinds of messes, and even those stars have grown hair. A few moles, and the parts of the body where those moles grow are all clearly stated. I really don’t know what’s the point of living like this.” Liu Judao must have recognized what these people were doing, and couldn’t help but Feel free to feel a lot.
