Brother Tu thought that Bureau Chief Chen was just joking, but Chen Wei actually took out a box and asked him to take it away.
After all, he had tasted the tea just now. It was definitely good tea. Brother Tu's cousin's husband was in the tea business, so every time his cousin came home, she would bring some good tea back.
White tea was a slightly fermented tea, so it would have different tastes over time.
Freshly made white tea had a light taste like green tea, and the soup was slightly green. White tea that had been brewed for three to five years would turn brown when brewed. The tea that Chen Wei served him had a taste that leaned towards black tea.
It was said that the price of old white tea was quite high in the market, especially this kind of old white tea that had a mellow and smooth taste. It was much more expensive than the fresh and sweet new white tea.
Therefore, the tea that Director Chen gave him was definitely worth a lot.
Chen Wei said that he got the tea from Xu Yun. Xu Yun was the CEO of Sky Entertainment Group, with a net worth of trillions. How could he not have tea leaves?
"I definitely can't accept this!" Brother Tu refused. He came to Director Chen's house empty-handed. Anyone who told him about this would scold him for not knowing the ways of the world. It was already a failure for him to not bring two boxes of tea leaves for Director Chen. If he took a box of tea leaves from Director Chen's house, he would be scolded for not knowing the ways of the world!
Brother Tu shook his head and waved his hands, "Absolutely not! Director Chen, put it back. I can't take your tea leaves to drink! "
"Why are you being so polite with me? I told you to take it, so take it." Chen Wei glared at him, "You guys work overtime and stay up late. As a director, I don't have the ability to apply for better benefits for you guys. However, this is a small token of my appreciation. I'm not giving you anything valuable. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"
"Director Chen, I won't lie to you. My cousin's husband's family is in the tea business in the south. Every year, my cousin would bring me some good tea leaves to try. Therefore, I know a little about tea leaves. It's not rare for this kind of old white tea to be sold for a few thousand yuan per catty. The box you gave me is half a catty. I definitely can't accept something so expensive!" Brother Tu said. In fact, he thought that even if it was cheap green tea that cost thirty to fifty yuan per catty, as a subordinate, he would not accept it!
"A few thousand yuan per catty?" Chen Wei's eyes widened, "This tea is so expensive?"
"Yes," Brother Tu said.
Chen Wei exclaimed, "I really don't dare to accept Xu Yun's tea leaves in the future. It's practically bribery … If anyone reports me now, I'll definitely die! It's a sin to drink such expensive tea leaves. "
"Chief Chen, your situation is different. Boss Xu is your good friend. This is nothing in the eyes of a rich man. Moreover, Boss Xu didn't give you the tea to help him cover up a crime. There's nothing that you can't drink. Moreover, a chief like you doesn't deserve to drink this kind of tea!" Brother Tu said sincerely.
"Don't." Chen Wei joked again, "You know that I drink such expensive tea leaves, so you have to take a box. Otherwise, I'm worried that you will report me. If you take a box, you will be in the same boat as me. Hahaha. You won't dare to report me then."
Brother Tu knew that Director Chen was joking. He smiled bitterly, "Director Chen, don't make things difficult for me."
Chen Wei became serious, "You can say that it costs a few thousand yuan or tens of thousands yuan. In my eyes, it's just a box of good tea leaves given by a friend. I'll give you a box to try. In my eyes, this is a friendship. It can't be defined by money."
Brother Tu was stunned.
"Leader Tu, if you think that I, Chen Wei, am a person worthy of being your friend, then you can take it." Chen Wei continued, "If you think that I'm just a director, a superior, and we're just colleagues and not worthy of being friends, then I won't make things difficult for you."
Brother Tu was inexplicably touched. He took the box of tea leaves from Chen Wei, "Thank you."
"That's it. You're a man, don't hesitate." Chen Wei smiled straightforwardly.
The two of them quickly left the neighborhood and found a fast food restaurant to buy some fast food. Chen Wei wanted to pay, but Brother Tu wouldn't agree. After paying, he took the fast food and brought Chen Wei to the place where they waited at the entrance of the bar.
When the two arrived, Xiao Liu was sneezing!
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly when he saw the car with its headlights turned off. They're finally here!
When the car stopped, Xiao Liu opened the front passenger door and was about to squeeze in. "My dear brother! You're freezing me to death. Why are you taking so long? You … You … You … "
Before he could finish, Xiao Liu was stunned.
Director Chen was sitting in the front passenger seat!
"Hi … Hello! Director Chen! "Xiao Liu immediately changed his words when he regained his senses.
"Sit in the back," Brother Tu said to Xiao Liu. Brother Tu said to Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu quickly closed the door for Chen Wei and sat in the backseat. His mind was in a mess. He had no idea what was going on.
After Xiao Liu sat down, Chen Wei said, "Xiao Liu, thank you for your hard work."
"No … No … I'm flattered." Xiao Liu was flattered. He didn't expect Director Chen to come here with Brother Tu.
Brother Tu passed him a lunchbox. "Hurry up and eat something. Young people can't resist hunger."
Xiao Liu took the lunchbox and saw Chen Wei was also holding a lunchbox. He couldn't believe that Director Chen was so down-to-earth.
Compared to those bureau chiefs who had at least fifteen dishes and one soup for a meal and had to drink two bottles of red wine that cost at least a few thousand yuan per bottle, Bureau Chief Chen was so honest that even Xiao Liu felt ashamed of his inferiority!
Chen Wei said as he ate. "Actually, at my age, I shouldn't eat at night. My digestive system isn't young anymore. Hahaha. But I'm too hungry today."
"Director Chen, I'm sorry to let you eat in the car with us." Brother Tu said embarrassedly.
Chen Wei pointed at the lunchbox with his chopsticks. "Stir-fried pork liver, vegetarian assorted vegetables, fried onions with chili, stir-fried green beans, and cold bitter gourd. There are already five dishes! What's there for me to feel wronged about? You all know that our Chairman only eats four dishes and one soup! I've already exceeded the limit, okay?! I should be ashamed. "
Chen Wei was exaggerating a little. After all, he was eating a boxed lunch from a fast food restaurant. The five dishes were half a portion each. Other than the stir-fried pork liver, the rest were very cheap vegetarian dishes. Together with the rice, they only cost about 20 yuan a portion.
He only ordered it after Brother Tu strongly urged him to order more! This standard was even lower than a normal person's meal at a small restaurant.
Don't talk about normal people. Even the university students who were still using their parents' hard-earned money to go to a small restaurant to order more expensive food than this.
The chief of a certain city's urban management bureau who once claimed that 8,000 yuan was not enough for him to eat for a day, and the twelve civil servants of a certain province's grain bureau who ate 15,000 yuan in a single meal. These people's faces should be stuffed into their chrysanthemum eyes and never pulled out.
Once upon a time, all leaders had to do was attend dinner parties! They even had to attend a few dinners in one night.
It was either a specialty restaurant with wild game or a luxuriously decorated restaurant.
Famous dishes, famous cigarettes, and famous wine. A meal could easily cost more than 10,000 RMB. This was not a secret in Huaxia at all. If the crackdown was stricter, even the civil servants who had used public funds to eat would have to step down. Not to mention the leaders, 99% of the civil servants would probably have to pack up and leave.
Even if the crackdown on corruption was carried out, in some counties and cities far away from the emperor, it was still a daily occurrence for the leaders to secretly go to a specialty restaurant to "entertain".
Now that it was the end of the year, there were more inspections. There were more connections, projects, and people looking for the God of Fortune. If there were inspections, there would be people accompanying them. If there were people accompanying them, there would be dinners. If there were people accompanying them to bathe eight times, there would inevitably be people accompanying them to eat eight meals. Who would only bathe and not eat? Connections, projects, and people looking for the God of Fortune were all asking for help. Who would ask someone to do something without eating? If they did not eat, it would show that they did not have a deep relationship. If their relationship was not good, who would work for you?
Those leaders who shuttled through various dinners and could eat more than 10,000 RMB per meal should be embarrassed and reflect on themselves when compared to Bureau Chief Chen's simple and plain meals.
