Chapter 68 Cucumber Eggs
Although Liu Zhenhua knew that the county party secretary was Wu Dequan and the procuratorate president was Tan Wenshan, he had never really seen them. In addition, the incident happened just now, so Liu Zhenhua did not take too much time to observe them. When he got free time, Liu Zhenhua could finally take a good look at the two "gao officials" in front of him.
Wu Dequan is no different from ordinary people, and is even too mediocre. The mediocre ones have no highlights. They are 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, with a small flat head, a round face, and no special temperament. If he had not been wearing a uniform that officials could wear, it would be difficult for people to associate him with officials. As far as Liu Zhenhua knows, Wu Dequan is as famous as his name, with both moral integrity and talent, and has some talent in his belly, but he is in a proper manner when doing things, never becomes an enemy of others, and prays for stability in everything. Therefore, he has a very good reputation in the county, his career path is stable, and there is no wind or wave.
As for Tan Wenshan, it is completely opposite to Wu Dequan. At that age, Forty Ron was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a straight and hard figure, a thin face with gold-rimmed glasses and a 37-point combed on his head. Although he was already middle-aged, his handsome and vigorous temperament had not diminished at all. If there was a tall, rich and handsome dormitory in every dormitory in college, then Tan Wenshan was the tall, rich and handsome guy in their dormitory. It can be said that at this age, he is a model of the "mature man" that women often mention, and is fatal to women. Moreover, his style of work is also very different from Wu Dequan, soft and hard, and full of strength.
When Liu Zhenhua looked at them, they were also looking at Liu Zhenhua. Perhaps Tan Wenshan's personality determined that he was disdainful to other officials or other males, so he did not have any special feelings towards Liu Zhenhua, which means it was neither good nor bad. Wu Dequan liked Liu Zhenhua the more he looked at Liu Zhenhua, as if his father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, making Liu Zhenhua feel awkward.
After Liu Zhenhua looked at it, he said respectfully to Wu Dequan and Tan Wenshan: "Secretary Wu, President Tan, I can restore my post and I also want to give you the blessings. Today is a good thing. To celebrate, why don't I be a partner? Please have a few glasses of wine and chat with you?"
Liu Zhenhua's words were completely official and polite words. After all, Wu Dequan and Tan Wenshan were heavyweights in the county. Being able to join them and build a bridge was beneficial to Liu Zhenhua. Liu Zhenhua never believed in his nobleness, so he was willing to flatter. As for Liu Zhenhua's reinstatement, does it have anything to do with them? It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with them, but it doesn't matter much. The reason why Liu Zhenhua puts a high hat on them is completely a basic way to flatter them.
Liu Zhenhua's proposal seemed to be very helpful to Wu Dequan. Wu Dequan nodded and said repeatedly: "There is no need to drink wine. If you drink too much, it will be okay to drink a few cups of tea, eat some side dishes, and chat a few words. What do you think Lao Tan?" Wu Dequan asked Tan Wenshan symbolically.
Tan Wenshan is different from Wu Dequan. He is the president of the procuratorate. He usually works in the county and rarely has the chance to come out. This time he came to Wubei Town. Since he has come, there is no big deal in his hand, so he is not in a hurry to go back. He just thinks it is a matter of collecting the field. Here, Tan Wenshan wants to see Wu Dequan and how to cultivate Liu Zhenhua, a potential stock. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation: "It's going to be dinner time soon. If we leave without even eating, it will be a bit inappropriate. If we say it, they will blame Mayor Liu for not being able to do business. It's okay to go and eat something casually."
Zhang Heng is the director of the county discipline inspection committee, and his status is not low. After all, in the officialdom, he holds the power of life and death, and has the right to investigate and deal with most officials. Therefore, it is inevitable to have a good relationship with him. Liu Zhenhua is not stingy with his pockets. At most, many people can invite him to go with him.
The banquet was held at the first-class restaurant in Wubei Town, "Changchun Pavilion". It is said to be the first-class restaurant, but in fact it is not even a one-star rating. After all, in Wubei Town, a place where birds do not shit, not many people can go to the restaurant. They rely entirely on the usual alms of some powerful people, which has also led to a recession in the catering industry. It is a miracle that Changchun Pavilion can survive.
Since when Liu Zhenhua took office, the place where local officials held banquets, Liu Zhenhua was familiar with the road when he came again. He ordered a few good dishes at the counter and ordered a pot of good tea. He led the waiter to go to the largest private room in Changchun Pavilion. Of course, this largest "neck box" is just a small room separated by composite boards, which looks very shabby and simple. However, in places like Wubei Town, such private rooms are rare.
Liu Zhenhua and Wu Dequan are not particular people, and they have nothing to do with this shabby private room. In their opinion, they can have a place to eat and drink, and visual enjoyment should be put second. Tan Wenshan and Zhang Heng are children of officials and have lived a very wealthy life since childhood, so they pay more attention to it. Not to mention entering this private room, they frowned when they saw the shabby private room of Changchun Pavilion. But considering Liu Zhenhua and Wu Dequan, they had to compromise and imagine Changchun Pavilion as a magnificent five-star hotel in their hearts as much as possible. This is a change in thinking, which is a bit like painting a cake to satisfy their hunger.
Because there are not many people coming to eat, Changchunge serves very quickly, and even competes with many high-end hotels with a wide range of equipment. Eight dishes are served at an extremely fast speed. As for the dishes, they are all common "high-end dishes" in ordinary restaurants, such as braised pork, oil-splashed carp, etc.
Originally, Tan Wenshan thought tea was definitely not a good tea, but he never expected that a small and broken restaurant like Changchun Pavilion would come up with a pot of Dahongpao. Tan Wenshan knew it was the best one after a sip. This made him feel depressed and aggrieved and relieved.
The difference between the powerful and the ordinary people is that ordinary people eat for the sake of eating, while the powerful and the powerful people eat for something else. Liu Zhenhua dared not classify himself in the powerful and powerful camp, so he started to eat and drink a lot after serving the dishes for a few words, especially braised pork. He cleaned half of the plate before he could say a few words. The food was so shocking that no one present could speak. Those who didn't know thought that a mountain village man who had never eaten meat had come out.
When eating with people like Wu Dequan and Tan Wenshan, eating is a false proposition, and 'chat' is the real theme. After Liu Zhenhua had almost finished eating, he gradually got out of his mind and entered the topic: "Secretary Wu, I have a question that I have never understood. Since you are here today, can you give me some advice?"
Before Wu Dequan could get out of Liu Zhenhua's shocking appearance of the glutinous rice dumplings, he nodded dullly: "I can't tell you what I can say, but I can't say what I can say, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Liu Zhenhua had a hiccup because he was eating too hard, but he forced himself to hold it in his stomach or tried to keep it in his stomach: "Secretary Wu, Wubei Town is a big town. Not to mention the widest area in our county, it is also the most populous. I heard that the economic strength has always been among the best in the county. Why have you become such a miserable appearance in the past two years? Some villagers even have a problem with eating. If God is going to give a great responsibility to this person, they must first suffer their minds, fatigue their muscles and bones, and hungry their bodies? Or is it because of other reasons?"
When he heard this, Tan Wenshan, who was about to move his chopsticks, was amused. It was not because there was something wrong with Liu Zhenhua's question, but because Liu Zhenhua said so well. This sentence was like a steel needle hidden under the pillow. It looked extremely comfortable on the surface, but as soon as you lay on it, you would prick you up. Tan Wenshan put down the chopsticks, turned his head to look at Wu Dequan, and was about to see how Wu Dequan answered.
Wu Dequan did not expect Liu Zhenhua to ask this question suddenly. After all, local political achievements are the most taboo topic in the officialdom, but Liu Zhenhua asked it carelessly and polished the sharpness of the topic. This made Wu Dequan both angry and funny, but it was precisely because of Liu Zhenhua's style that Wu Dequan was optimistic about him.
Wu Dequan thought for a moment, then cleared his throat and cut his mind and said: "Even if the general of heaven gives a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, and starve his body. Scrap iron can be transformed into steel by one hundred times, and it will also be useful for people." Wu Dequan was a veteran who was in the officialdom, so how could he be questioned by Liu Zhenhua? He used the strength to fight and answered inconsistent with the facts, so he couldn't even say a word.
Liu Zhenhua looked bad on the surface, but in fact he was already rumbling inside. He said to Heshen: "Damn, Lao He, this Wu De is very deep. Judging from his attitude, I really can't handle him."
Heshen smiled relaxedly and said, "Normal, how long have you been in the officialdom? Even if you make rapid progress, there is a process. If the officialdom is divided into ten stages, Wu Dequan is in the fifth stage now, and you are in the third stage. In the eyes of us, although you are a craftsman, you are at most a cucumber seed, which is not worth mentioning~"
Only the third stage? Liu Zhenhua was very dissatisfied with the positioning given by Lao He: "Then what stage are you in?"
Heshen did not speak out for the first time: "Guess~"
I guess? Do you still need to guess this? You can think of it with your toenails. You can take the entire court by relying on your own strength. If the court is water, you are a dragon. If you sneeze, the court can make huge waves. If you are a 10,000-year-old dragon, then the emperor is a 10,001-year-old dragon. The gap is very small. If you can reach this level, you will definitely not be able to escape.
At present, Liu Zhenhua has no time to discuss level issues with Heshen. After all, dealing with the current relationship is the main thing. Liu Zhenhua said: "Old He, give me some advice. What should I say? What should I do? I can neither let him take me underestimate me nor offend him?"
