Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Small canteen.

After everyone sat down, Guan Qi brought up four bottles of Wuliangye from under the table.

"This is really strange."

Lin Shaowen joked, "The minister has been in office for five years, and this is the first time I've drunk his wine."

"Get lost."

Guan Qi laughed and scolded, "How can I compare with you? You are so rich, a little bit of it leaking from your fingernails can feed me for a year..."

"That's right."

Wei Yajun smiled bitterly, "We have been cadres for so many years, relying on a fixed salary... Minister Lin can make several years of our salary by just seeing a patient."

"Hey, why are you all coming for me?"

Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, "I still have a few bottles of twenty-year-old Maotai. When the minister goes to the United Front Work Department and the new minister takes office... I'll treat everyone to a drink."

"Hey, you have to write this down." Guan Qi said immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to write this down... 20 years of Moutai, I'm afraid this is the only time I can have it in my life." Zhang Guoping also joked.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door was knocked.

"Come in..."

Wei Yajun shouted.

"Director, leaders... Do you think it's time to serve the dishes?" Sha Zhu said respectfully.

"Yes, serve the dishes."

Wei Yajun nodded with a smile.

"Serve the dishes."

Sha Zhu shouted.

Liu Lan, Ma Hua and others came in with the dishes.

Liu Yunde looked around and frowned, "Where is the new cook I hired today?"

"Director Liu, are you talking about He Daqing?"

Sha Zhu pretended to be in a daze and said, "The old guy cut his hand while cutting vegetables... So I let him take a rest."

"Can an old chef cut his hand?" Liu Yunde was slightly stunned.

"Old Liu, that's enough."

Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, "Isn't it enough that the food is delicious? Do you still want the cook to feed you?"

Puff!

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Get lost."

Liu Yunde was also at a loss for words, "Okay, get out when the dishes are served."

"Hey."

Shazhu responded and then retreated.

"Hey, Minister Lin... this cook, why do I look so familiar?" Zhang Guoping asked curiously.

"What cook? He's the deputy director of a canteen." Lin Shaowen shook his head and laughed.

"No, I really look familiar with this person." Zhang Guoping said, touching his chin.

"How can I not look familiar? This He Yuzhu and Minister Zhang live in the same yard." Qin Jingru joked.

"I thought so."

Zhang Guoping suddenly realized, "This guy is not honest... The chef is not cutting vegetables, he probably doesn't want the new guy to get close to Director Wei."

Qin Jingru and An Lan looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

"What do you mean? Is there a story?" Guan Qi said in surprise.

"This guy is He Yuzhu, and the new chef is He Daqing, who used to be a fourth-level cook in our factory... What do you think is their relationship?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Oh my god, this canteen is cruel."

Zhang Feng, who was pouring wine, couldn't help but say, "This is fucking... Both father and son are doing this?"

"Hey, if your father abandoned you when you were in your teens, and then ran away with a widow... and left a sister for you, what would you do?" Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"What the hell? Abandoning your wife and children?" Wei Yajun frowned.

"It's not like he abandoned his wife and children. He Yuzhu's mother passed away a long time ago." Lin Shaowen sighed, "His father found a widow and followed her to Baoding... I heard that there was a fire recently and all the family belongings were burned down, so he came back."

"So it's reasonable for him to look down on his father."

Guan Qi smiled and shook his head.

"Old Liu, Old Wei... Don't get involved in other people's family affairs." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "If you want to get promoted, follow the regular process. Don't let He Yuzhu play tricks, and don't let He Daqing take advantage of loopholes."

"I'm not interested in this." Wei Yajun pouted.

"Speaking of which, I gave him an eighth-level cook today. Is it too high?" Liu Yunde said, touching his chin.

"Just give it to me."

Lin Shaowen turned his head to look at Guan Qi and said, "Old leader... hurry up and say a few words, or the food will get cold."

"Go away, I'm just listening to your story." Guan Qi stood up and raised his glass, saying, "Thank you all for your support. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have been so successful in the past few years. I also hope that everyone will support the work of the new minister."

"Especially Wei Yajun, don't make trouble during the change of term. You took back Sijiutang and cut off the money Huaxing handed in. Minister Zhang will have a hard time in the future."

"No... wait a minute."

Zhang Guoping frowned and said, "Why do you sound like Huaxing and Sijiutang have made great contributions to the finances of the department?Right?"

"Not very big."

Guan Qi said lightly, "Except for the fiscal appropriations to the lower levels, one eighth of the money of our Ministry of Industry is supplied by Huaxing and Sijiutang..."

"What?"

Zhang Guoping stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "Old Wei, you f*cking treat me like this?"

No wonder Guan Qi looked at him with a very strange look today, both gloating and with a hint of pity.

"Why do you treat me like this?"

Wei Yajun pouted and said, "This is approved by the higher-ups. If you have any objections... go to the higher-ups."

"You..."

Zhang Guoping was immediately furious.

He had just taken office, and the people below started to make small moves.

"Minister Zhang, don't be angry."

Liu Yunde smiled and said, "There are many factories directly under the Ministry of Industry... Now our Huaxing Technology needs to develop, and what we need is money. So, you go to the Xicheng Materials Factory to get some money. ”

“Now their gas tanks are all over the city, and they have transferred the technology to the factories below. They are so rich.”

“Fuck.”

Zhang Guoping slapped himself hard, “When I stepped down as the factory director, Wang Kuirong, that beast, turned his face away from me… and signed a financial self-management agreement with me.”

“Wow, you dare to sign this?”

Guan Qi said with pain, “How much money did the Xicheng Materials Factory make? I’m afraid it’s several million. If you stamp this official seal, the department will have a hard time in the future.”

“No, this is absolutely not allowed.”

Zhang Guoping gritted his teeth and said, “Minister Guan… The work has not been handed over yet, you have to get this done, otherwise we will go to court.”

“Fuck, what does this have to do with me? You signed it yourself.” Guan Qi said speechlessly.

“I don’t care about you. ”

Zhang Guoping sneered, "If you can't handle it, don't go to the United Front Department... Just be the minister here."

"You..."

After being choked, Guan Qi looked at Lin Shaowen who was chatting with Zhang Feng, "Old Lin, you come forward to coordinate this matter."

"Please respect yourself, Deputy Minister of the United Front Department."

Lin Shaowen stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, "This is an internal affair of our Ministry of Industry. Don't rely on your seniority to make decisions."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed and fell on the table.
