The next morning, Zhang Zhiyuan went to the office after breakfast. He had just sat down when Du Jiaming walked in with dark circles under his eyes.
Zhang Zhiyuan brought a cup of freshly brewed tea to his nose and savored the fragrance of the black tea. He took a sip and placed it on the table. "How's the preparation?"
Zhang Zhiyuan only took a sip, and the cup was still full. Du Jiaming gently picked up the cup with both hands, ran to the water dispenser to pour a little, and gently brought it back. He said carefully. "Secretary Zhang, after a night of preparation, it's almost done. The factory in Beihe Industrial Park is dirty and messy. We had bulldozed it overnight and made display boards and promotional materials. Banners and slogans are hanging up now and should be ready soon. Baitai Coal Industry is well managed and there are no major problems. Also, the environmental sanitation along the highway has been cleaned up and the logistics and security are ready. "
Du Jiaming's answers were well-organized, and Zhang Zhiyuan was satisfied. "How's the arrangement for lunch going?"
"Everything is settled in the guest house. I have asked the manager to hire a chef from a four-star hotel in the city to serve the guests according to the highest standard. "
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan still remembered the previous Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tian Chunqiu's visit to Nanyang. If it wasn't for Lu Yiwei's preparations, he would have been embarrassed. Eating is the most troublesome thing when a superior visits. Who knows what side he wants to show.
If you arrange a higher grade and sumptuous dishes, he will say you are extravagant and do not pay attention to the image of a government official. You do not consider the influence of the masses and show an honest and clean official who cares about the suffering of the masses. If you arrange a lower grade meal, he will say you look down on him and do not respect his superiors. You do not have him in your eyes and show an overbearing and arrogant image.
There were also leaders who had personal preferences. Some of them had light tastes and liked to eat vegetable soups, such as carrots and vegetables. Some of them had heavy tastes and liked to eat delicacies, such as turtles and turtles … As for how to arrange it, it was a very big problem.
"Have you contacted the Municipal Government Office? For example, what does Mayor Lin like? "Zhang Zhiyuan asked again.
Du Jiaming was born to be a logistical person. He was meticulous in every aspect. He nodded and said, "Understood. I asked someone to ask the secretary general of the municipal government, Pan Yueheng. He said that Mayor Lin likes to eat meat, especially wild game. I arranged for Ma Chengliang to go to the countryside to buy some wild boar meat, lamb, and wild rabbit. I believe Mayor Lin will like it."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan tapped his fingers on the table and thought quickly. He felt a little uneasy. After a while, he said, "How about this, you don't have to worry about lunch, I'll arrange it."
Du Jiaming's heart tightened. He thought that there was something wrong. He said in a panic, "Secretary Zhang, if there's anything wrong, I'll correct it immediately …"
Looking at Du Jiaming's flustered expression, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I'm not saying that your arrangements are bad, but I have other plans. How about this, you go down and take a look. See if there are any problems and immediately rectify them. I'll go down to take a look as well. "
"Okay, I'll go now." Du Jiaming relaxed a little.
Before leaving, Du Jiaming asked again, "Secretary Zhang, do you want me to prepare a gift?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Did the government make any arrangements?"
"This …"
"Let the people from the government handle it. Don't let the County party committee handle everything." Zhang Zhiyuan had a lot of opinions about the slow action of the government.
Du Jiaming did not say anything and left after saying goodbye. Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyuan did not forget to show his concern, "Jiaming, it's been hard on you for the whole night. Go home and wash your face and tidy yourself up. "
It was a normal concern, but Du Jiaming was extremely excited. His eyes flashed with tears. He said emotionally, "I'm willing to serve Secretary Zhang, no matter how hard it is."
Regardless of whether Du Jiaming's reaction was real or fake, Zhang Zhiyuan was satisfied and gave him a warm smile to show his encouragement.
After leaving the door, Du Jiaming did not even know how to walk. He was so excited that his hands and feet danced. He was sincerely grateful that Dong Guoping fell sick at the right time, and Lin Haifeng came to visit him at the right time. Without them, he would not be appreciated by Zhang Zhiyuan. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and his future promotion might depend on this opportunity. How could he not be excited when he thought of this?
"Oh, Director Du, did you win the lottery?" Li Zhaoqing, the director of the Political Research Office, had just walked out of the door with a cup of water when he saw Du Jiaming jumping up and down like a monkey.
Du Jiaming took the teacup from Li Zhaoqing's hand and took a sip. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Make a guess!" After that, he swaggered into the office.
"Pfft! Arrogant my ass! " Li Zhaoqing was still smiling earlier, but when Du Jiaming turned around, his expression changed immediately. He spat at Du Jiaming's back and cursed angrily.
Now, the members of the County party committee were basically people from Liu Kecheng's era. Su Qiming's position had not been changed, and Zhang Zhiyuan's position had not been changed. In the past, these people relied on Liu Kecheng to be domineering and arrogant. They looked down on Zhang Zhiyuan, who was then the county head. Even now, they had formed small groups to challenge the authority of the county head. It was a little unbelievable. It was like an ant challenging an elephant to pluck a tiger's fur, but there was a small group of people who would jump up and stab your belly button.
It was not that Zhang Zhiyuan did not know this, but he did not have time to deal with these ants. After the big plate was stabilized, he turned around and pulled out the poisonous stingers one by one.
After Du Jiaming left, Zhang Zhiyuan called Lu Yiwei. In Nanyang County, there were people he could use, but he felt at ease with Lu Yiwei. Only Lu Yiwei sincerely did practical things for him and helped him solve his worries. After a long time, it became a habit. He couldn't help but think of Lu Yiwei, who was more like a secretary than a secretary.
Lu Yiwei was basically on call. Especially at this critical juncture, he must not be careless.
After Lu Yiwei came in, Zhang Zhiyuan directly arranged, "Arrange lunch at the Veterans Fishing Port today. Let Old Yang cook in person. Just like last time, make some authentic Nanyang style home-cooked dishes." Zhang Zhiyuan intended to take a gamble. He did not prepare turtle, but entertained Lin Haifeng with Nanyang home-cooked dishes.
In terms of logistics work, Lu Yiwei was not inferior to Du Jiaming, and even more thoughtful than him. This was the accumulation of years of experience and also the exploration of observation. Zhang Zhiyuan did not order specific dishes, but he completely knew what effect the other party wanted. This was tacit understanding.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
"Wait!" Zhang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Contact Mayor Su later and see what time you can arrive and which direction to go, okay?"
Lu Yiwei was put in a difficult position, but he still agreed.
"It's 8: 10 now. I'm going down to take a look. If you can make it, go down with me. In addition, you have to participate in today's research activity. "Zhang Zhiyuan added.
To be honest, Lu Yiwei did not want to participate in today's research. Every time he thought of that moment, he panicked. Whether Xia Jinhe betrayed him or not, Lin Haifeng's behavior was not what a mayor of a city should do.
Lu Yiwei had heard about Lin Haifeng's various deeds. He had the same hobby as County Magistrate Yang Derong, which was to play with women. However, Yang Derong's diet was simple, and he would eat meat and vegetables whenever he felt like it. On the other hand, Lin Haifeng's style was elegant, and he was especially interested in two kinds of women. One was the celebrities who stood on the stage and danced, and the other was the mature female university students who hid in the ivory tower.
However, it was just a rumor. Whether it was true or not, it was not something a small person like Lu Yiwei could find out.
Naturally, Zhang Zhiyuan did not know the reason, but he had his own ideas. He wanted to let Lu Yiwei show up in public and leave a good impression in front of the city leaders, which would only be good for his development.
Lu Yiwei walked to the Veterans Fishing Port while calling Yang Jianguo. When Yang Jianguo heard it, he was very surprised and said, "Director Lu, why didn't you tell me earlier? There are dozens of wedding banquets at noon today. What should we do?"
Lu Yiwei said without hesitation, "Secretary Zhang appointed you here. I don't care what you do, but you must not screw up at the critical moment! I'll be there soon. "
When they arrived at the restaurant, Yang Jianguo said with a bitter face, "I just called the person who booked the banquet. Their invitation card clearly stated that I am in the restaurant. I tried to persuade him, but he just didn't agree. What should I do?"
This was indeed a tricky problem. But the mayor came here to eat. They couldn't just make a mess. Lu Yiwei thought quickly and said decisively, "You go and talk to the other party now. As long as he agrees to change the venue, I will pay for all the expenses of the banquet at noon today."
After Yang Jianguo gave this condition to the other party, he immediately agreed. It was like a pie falling from the sky when someone else paid for it. Why not?!
After dealing with this little episode, Lu Yiwei and Yang Jianguo carefully studied the dishes. According to Zhang Zhiyuan, Lu Yiwei did not intend to use the signature dishes here, so he still arranged the dishes according to the last reception. However, the preparation last time was too hasty, and the taste was not exquisite. This time, he must make every dish carefully.
Although Yang Jianguo was a local, his cooking skills were learned in the army, and he was not familiar with some of the local snacks in Nanyang. So, Lu Yiwei decided to invite his grandfather, Lu Weiguo.
Lu Weiguo used to cook in the state-run cafeteria, but he was still very proficient in the cooking of Nanyang's famous dishes. Lu Weiguo really had nothing to do at home. When his son called him, he was as excited as a child and immediately rushed over. After listening to his son's introduction, he confidently patted his chest and said, "It's a piece of cake. Leave it to me. I guarantee they will be satisfied."
