In the Sanshan City Committee Compound.
When Xia Ruofei drove to the gate, he saw Tian Huilan's personal secretary, Xiao Mei, standing next to the armed police guard post, waiting for him.
Although Tian Huilan was already a member of the Provincial Committee, her focus was still in Sanshan City. The secretary of the Sanshan City Committee was her main job, so although she also had an office in the Provincial Committee, she spent most of her time working in the Sanshan City Committee.
Xia Ruofei's Knight XV car was very conspicuous. Xiao Mei saw it at a glance and hurried to greet him.
Xia Ruofei stopped the car at the eye-catching yellow stop line, rolled down the window, poked his head out, and said with a smile, "Director Xiao, I'm so sorry to trouble you to pick me up in person!"
"Mr. Xia is a distinguished guest," Xiao Mei said with a smile. Xiao Mei smiled and said, "Secretary Tian personally instructed me to be courteous, so I wouldn't dare to neglect it …"
After that, Xiao Mei waved to the armed police guard at the gate. The bar in front of the gate immediately rose slowly, and Xiao Mei opened the door and sat in.
It was not the first time Xia Ruofei had come to the Sanshan City Committee Compound. He parked the car in the reserved parking space in front of the main office building, and then walked into the office building under the guidance of Xiao Mei.
There were many government officials coming in and out. When they saw Xiao Mei, they all greeted her politely — she was the personal secretary of the Provincial Committee leader! Generally, the lower-ranking government officials would be more polite to her when they saw her.
Xia Ruofei naturally attracted a lot of strange and inquiring gazes.
Everyone was naturally curious about this young man who could be greeted by Secretary Xiao in person.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Tian Huilan's office.
Xiao Mei stood at the door of the outer secretary's office and whispered to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, Secretary Tian said that you can go in directly when you arrive. In addition, the secretary has no other schedule for the next hour, so you have plenty of time. "
Xiao Mei's eyes also revealed a strange color.
How could a high-level cadre like Tian Huilan not have any schedule for an entire hour?
Just because Xia Ruofei was coming to visit, Tian Huilan canceled two activities and postponed the work report of the Finance Director, which was originally arranged, by an hour.
This showed how important this young man was to Secretary Tian.
"Thank you, Director Xiao," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then he took out a small porcelain bottle with a wide mouth from his bag and handed it to Xiao Mei. "By the way, Miss Xiao, this is a cosmetic product that I made myself. You can use it as a facial mask. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind!"
Xiao Mei's beautiful eyes widened, and she almost screamed out loud. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and after a while, she asked softly, "Mr. Xia, this … this is the Yuji ointment you gave to the secretary last time?"
After Tian Huilan used the Jade Skin Ointment, his whole body had changed. Not only did he look at least ten years younger, but his temperament was also much better than before.
This caused a lot of commotion among the cadre, especially among the female cadre.
As Tian Huilan's personal secretary, Xiao Mei naturally knew the inside story — it was because she used the Jade Skin Ointment that Xia Ruofei gave her.
It was a woman's nature to love beauty. Xiao Mei dreamed of getting a Jade Skin Ointment, but she also knew that such a miraculous cosmetic product, especially one that was handmade, couldn't be bought even if you had money.
She didn't expect to get it today without any effort. Xia Ruofei actually gave her one.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. After getting Xia Ruofei's confirmation, Xiao Mei showed an extremely excited expression. But after she calmed down, she quickly said, "Mr. Xia, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it …"
As she said this, Xiao Mei's eyes were still looking at the bottle of Jade Skin Ointment reluctantly.
Xia Ruofei secretly thought it was funny. In fact, this thing was incomparably precious to others, but to him, it was just a little effort.
"Director Xiao, you've helped me a lot all this time, but I haven't had the chance to thank you." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Besides, this is handmade by me, and it's not worth much. It shouldn't be considered a bribe, right?"
Xiao Mei quickly waved her hand and said, "That's not it …"
"Then it's settled. Just accept it! " Xia Ruofei stuffed the porcelain bottle into Xiao Mei's hand and continued, "Besides, our company is researching how to mass produce the Jade Skin Ointment. I believe that it won't be long before you can buy it on the market. It's not a rare thing."
Xiao Mei tightly held the porcelain bottle of Jade Skin Ointment and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Xia Ruofei said, "But the mass-produced version will definitely be slightly less effective than this handmade one."
Xiao Mei said happily, "Boss Xia, thank you!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand, then gently knocked on the door of Tian Huilan's office.
A gentle voice came from inside. "Come in!"
Xia Ruofei pushed the door open and walked in.
Xiao Mei looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand and couldn't hide her excitement. She couldn't help but clench her fist and whisper, "Yeah!"
She first put the Jade Skin Ointment in the drawer, then thought about it and took it out and put it in her bag. After a few seconds, she simply took it out of the bag and carefully put it in her pocket. Then she smiled a little embarrassedly.
Then she realized that she hadn't poured tea for Xia Ruofei yet. She quickly stuck out her tongue and hurriedly took out the quilt and tea leaves from the cabinet.
At this time, Xiao Mei had completely lost the steadiness of a staff member of the Provincial Party Committee. It could be seen how tempting the Jade Skin Ointment was to women!
Tian Huilan's office.
Seeing Xia Ruofei come in, Tian Huilan put down the documents he was signing, stood up with a smile, and said, "Little Xia, you're here! Come sit down and talk! "
"Hello, Secretary Tian!" Xia Ruofei bowed slightly and greeted him honestly, then followed Tian Huilan to the sofa in the reception area. The two of them sat down.
At this time, Xiao Mei knocked on the door and came in with a cup of hot tea. At this time, she had returned to her normal steadiness and said to Xia Ruofei in a low voice, "Boss Xia, please have some tea!"
Then she walked to Tian Huilan's desk, took Tian Huilan's teacup, filled it with hot water, and brought it to the reception area. She gently put it on the coffee table, then quietly left the office.
After Xiao Mei left, Xia Ruofei took out the gifts he had prepared for Tian Huilan from his bag — three servings of Jade Skin Ointment and two taels of top-grade Da Hong Pao tea.
Ever since he learned that Xia Qing could also make Da Hong Pao tea, Xia Ruofei didn't cherish the few tea leaves he had left so much. This time, he generously took out two taels of Jade Skin Ointment.
Xia Ruofei believed that with Xia Qing's ability and the tea tree that he had carefully taken care of for so long, the Da Hong Pao tea he made shouldn't be any worse than the one made by Li Zhifu.
"Secretary Tian, this is a small token of my appreciation for you," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"You little Xia!" Tian Huilan said with a smile, "I never accept other people's gifts, but I can't refuse yours! Thank you! You are so considerate … "
Tian Huilan was very fond of Jade Skin Ointment. Whether it was for his own use or as a gift, it was quite good. Jade Skin Ointment, which couldn't be bought with money, had become very popular among the upper-class ladies. Many people tried their best to get their hands on it.
Tian Huilan naturally put Xia Ruofei's gift under the tea table, then showed a kind smile and said, "Little Xia, Huixin also mentioned your matter to me. This is a great thing for the country and the people. I support you unconditionally!"
"Thank you, Secretary Tian!" Xia Ruofei said happily.
Yesterday, when he had called Tian Huilan, he had roughly explained the matter. He hadn't expected that Tian Huilan would directly express his support.
Officials at Tian Huilan's level were generally very particular about the leeway when they spoke. They wouldn't say anything that was definite.
From this point, it could be seen that Tian Huilan really looked at Xia Ruofei in a new light.
Then, Xia Ruofei reported the situation of the Heart-Nourishing Soup, the establishment of a pharmaceutical company by the Taoyuan Company, and the preliminary drug test to Tian Huilan.
Finally, Xia Ruofei said, "Secretary Tian, the person in charge of our pharmaceutical company's research institute has already taken the report to Beijing to apply for the approval of the new drug. According to the regulations, our Chinese medicine preparations can be directly submitted to the National Drug Administration for approval. However, under normal circumstances, the preliminary examination work is still completed by the Provincial Drug Administration. So, we still need your support!"
Tian Huilan smiled and said, "Little Xia, I have already talked to Deputy Director He Kun of the Provincial Drug Administration, who is in charge of the drug approval work. Director He will give you the care you deserve within the scope of the regulations."
"Thank you so much!" Xia Ruofei said happily.
Tian Huilan smiled and said, "Comrade He Kun was originally the Director of the Sanshan Drug Administration. He can be considered as my old subordinate. He was just transferred to the position of Deputy Director of the Provincial Drug Administration last year. He happens to be in charge of the drug approval work, so you can directly go to him."
Xia Ruofei knew that Tian Huilan was reminding him that He Kun was her "direct subordinate." In this way, Xia Ruofei didn't have to worry so much about anything and could directly go to He Kun.
Xia Ruofei understood and said, "I understand. Thank you, Secretary Tian."
Tian Huilan handed a piece of paper that he had written in advance to Xia Ruofei and said, "This is Director He's contact information. You should find him as soon as possible. You'd better talk to him about some specific things in detail! By the way, Old He has worked in the Drug Administration for many years. He is more familiar with the people in the National Drug Administration. You can ask him to help coordinate with the higher-ups. This way, you can speed up the progress and enter the preliminary examination process as soon as possible. "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei carefully put away the piece of paper.
After talking about things, Xia Ruofei was about to get up and leave. Who knew that Tian Huilan would talk about private matters again.
"Xiao Xia, have you been in contact with Youyou recently?" Tian Huilan asked casually.
Xia Ruofei was stunned and said, "Last time, Aunt Huixin brought Huanhuan over, I met Lu You twice. Secretary Tian, what's wrong? "
"I feel that she has been a little depressed recently. I don't know if it's an illusion …" Tian Huilan frowned and said, "Let's not talk about this. Xiao Xia, if you have time, contact Youyou more often. You young people have more common topics. This daughter of mine … She always hides her thoughts and refuses to speak out. Sigh … "
Xia Ruofei could only nod and say, "Okay, I will."
He didn't know why, but he inexplicably thought of the night after he rescued Lu You and took her back to the farm. He saw that perfect body when he cleaned up Lu You's vomit …
The person in front of him was not only a leader of the Provincial Party Committee, but also Lu You's mother! Xia Ruofei suddenly felt a sense of guilt. He quickly got up and said, "Secretary Tian, then I won't disturb your work. I'll take my leave first!"
Tian Huilan personally got up and walked Xia Ruofei to the door of the office. Then, he said, "Xiao Xia, if you have time, come visit us more often. My dad always talks about you …"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei quickly said, "Please wait!"
After leaving Tian Huilan's office, Xia Ruofei said goodbye to Xiao Mei and then hurried downstairs.
After getting into the car, Xia Ruofei didn't rush to drive away. Instead, he took out the note that Tian Huilan had given him and dialed the phone number written on it.
The phone rang more than a dozen times. Just when Xia Ruofei thought that the other party didn't have a mobile phone or that the phone was on silent and couldn't hear it, the other party finally picked up.
A slightly reserved voice came through. "Who is this?"
"Is this Director He of the Food and Drug Administration?" Xia Ruofei asked politely. "I'm Xia Ruofei from the Taoyuan Company. Secretary Tian of the Municipal Party Committee asked me to call you."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became warmer. "So it's Boss Xia! Hello, hello! Secretary Tian has already specifically instructed us about your matter. Please rest assured that our Provincial Food and Drug Administration will do our best to assist you! "
Xia Ruofei was also used to the officials' change from arrogance to deference, so he didn't feel unhappy. He just smiled and said, "Director He, I wonder if you're free right now? I wanted to pay you a visit and give you a detailed report on the new drug approval. "
He Kun said awkwardly, "This … Boss Xia, I have to attend a National Drug Administration Video Conference in five minutes. This conference is expected to take quite a long time, so …"
"Oh! That's okay, I'll find a time to come over next time! "Xia Ruofei said with a faint smile.
He Kun seemed to be a little worried that Xia Ruofei would misunderstand and think that he was deliberately neglecting him, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Xia, I personally think that the first hurdle for your company's project is the approval of the project. Only when the National Drug Administration officially approves the project and assigns our Provincial Food and Drug Administration to conduct a preliminary review of the drug can we be of help!"
"Thank you for your advice, Director He," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Then, Director He, do you have any suggestions regarding the approval of the project?"
He Kun had already thought about it, so he immediately said, "Boss Xia, what do you think about this? I happen to be going to Beijing tomorrow to attend a pharmaceutical industry conference. Boss Xia, why don't you come with me to Beijing tomorrow? I know quite a few people at the National Drug Administration. I'll personally coordinate with them and should be able to expedite the approval of the project! "
This matter was personally instructed by Tian Huilan, and it wasn't as simple as a simple greeting. Tian Huilan had solemnly called He Kun to his office and personally instructed him. How could He Kun dare to be negligent?
As the Deputy Director of the Provincial Bureau, I'm personally going to Beijing to help you coordinate the approval of the project. This should be enough sincerity, right? He Kun thought to himself.
In fact, the so-called pharmaceutical industry conference was just an excuse. If He Kun wanted to attend it, there would be people fighting to invite him to attend such conferences 365 days a year.
He was going to Beijing this time purely to help Xia Ruofei coordinate the approval of the project.
He had to spare no effort to implement Secretary Tian's instructions!
