The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 383 Give Shazhu a little shock!!
After Secretary Jian finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she had said this a little too early and had inadvertently exposed some of her own flaws.

After two minutes of silence, he added: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any trouble in this regard. It's just that everyone here is over 40 years old, and I'm anxious. I share everyone's concerns and think about what everyone is thinking about..."

Seeing that the other secretaries wanted to refute something, he hurriedly said:
"Everyone gets up early and works late every day for the revolution. Our job as a secretary is very stressful... Although everyone can still hold on for now, it is always good to consolidate it a little more."

The other people then let him go. After all, they were all old and did have this need.

In addition, with the gold, meat, pearls and jade in front of them just now, everyone was looking at Zhang Shenfei, eagerly waiting for the next mysterious dish.

Zhang Shenfei showed a knowing smile: "I understand, we are all men, Brother Jian doesn't need to explain.

But as for the next dish, I will keep it a secret for you."

When others heard him say this, they felt like they were being scratched by a cat.

Due to the bad environment in recent years, they have become much more restrained in their dinner parties. There is no shortage of vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table, but the more rare items are much less common.

At this moment, as I was tasting the delicious dishes on the table, and with the delicious meat in front of me, my anticipation was immediately piqued.

Thinking about the mysterious tonic soup in his mind, Sha Zhu and Xiao Pang served several more dishes one after another, all of which were well cooked and had local characteristics.

But everyone still had no appetite for the food, but a few secretaries expressed their love for the red medicinal wine on the table.

After everyone waited anxiously,
The door of the dining room creaked open, and Sha Zhu walked in carrying a large black coarse porcelain casserole.

This is the finale dish, right? ! !
Everyone's eyes immediately moved to the big casserole.

Sha Zhu proudly placed the casserole on the table with a bang. The moment he opened the lid, thick smoke spread out.

When the smoke cleared, the ingredients inside appeared before everyone.

Sea cucumber, pork kidney, dried squid, deer antler, dried abalone, bamboo fungus...

Man, this is really good stuff!!!
"Brother Zhang, you are so kind!!! You are so open-hearted with your brothers!!!"

"After eating this good thing, can I have a peaceful night?"

"The yam inside is a specialty of our hometown, the iron stick yam. There is a saying in our hometown that the iron stick yam cannot be eaten often. If a man eats it, the woman can't stand it, and if a woman eats it, the man can't stand it. If both men and women eat it, the bed can't stand it."

"Not to mention the deer antlers. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm going to have to drink three bowls of it soon. Don't let anyone snatch it from me."

Sha Zhu was very discerning at the critical moment. While the leaders were chatting, he picked up a big spoon and started to distribute soup to everyone.

After eating and drinking, the whole casserole of tonic soup was eaten up.

Secretary Jian casually asked Zhang Shenfei, "Brother Zhang, where is your nephew's wife going to work???"

Zhang Shenfei sighed: "The child is young and naive. He said he wanted to find a job close to home. He didn't want to deal with people in the department store.

The child is a good child, but he is a little shy and not good at dealing with people. Speaking of this, I really have to ask Brother Fan, can our tobacco factory arrange for someone to go in? ? "

Secretary Fan had already had enough to eat and drink. He lit a Peony cigarette and was puffing away. Hearing this, he looked at Zhang Shenfei and said, "The child is interested in the cigarette factory?"

"It is said that her high school classmate was assigned to the tobacco factory, and the two of them were very good friends in school, and now they don't want to be separated." Zhang Shenfei made up a story.

In addition to Secretary Jian, Secretary Pei and Secretary Mu were also present and knew Zhang Shenfei's intention of organizing this dinner. After hearing him make it clear, they began to follow suit.

"Isn't this Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er? Isn't that just a coincidence? Our Secretary Fan is the top secretary of the Sijiucheng Tobacco Factory. Arranging for someone to come in is as easy as having a meal." The fat Secretary Mu smiled in a very non-aggressive manner.

"Is this worth your worry, Brother Zhang? Look at everyone here, they cover every aspect of life in this city. To put it bluntly, if you have any needs in this city, which brother here can't help you?" Secretary Pei said.

"If you ask me, with Brother Fan here to take care of this matter, why would you worry about it?" Secretary Jian said, patting Secretary Fan on the shoulder.

How could an ordinary person become the secretary of the top leader in a large state-owned enterprise?

If Secretary Fan didn't notice anything when he first accidentally heard from Secretary Jian that Zhang Shenfei was inviting them to dinner, and only followed because he wanted to expand his network, then

After entering the gate of No. 12 Yunju Hutong, I saw that Zhang Shenfei was obviously much more enthusiastic towards me than others, and I had some vague guesses in my mind.

At this moment, what else did he not understand after Zhang Shenfei and the other secretaries said this? ?

As Secretary Pei said, the guests Zhang Shenfei invited today include people from textile factories, steel mills, state-owned restaurants, transportation companies, power plants, water plants...all of which are the most basic industries that are indispensable to people's lives.

Among these people, there was Secretary Jian, an old acquaintance, as well as acquaintances he had only met once or twice, and some were secretaries from other factories whom he didn't know at all.

But without exception, these are all large state-owned factories, and they all play an important role in the city.

He was transferred from Shandong Province to Sijiu City. As a newcomer, he not only needed to make a career in the tobacco factory to gain a foothold, but also needed to get in touch with the secretary circle here.

Factories, especially state-owned factories, seem to be separate entities, but in fact they are inextricably linked with other large state-owned factories.

If he could get acquainted with these people, it would not only make it easier for him to carry out his work in the factory, but he would also not be looked down upon in the secretariat of the Sijiucheng Tobacco Factory.

More importantly, it is about being able to demonstrate your connections and abilities in front of your immediate boss.

In the future, when the tobacco factory needs to form alliances with other factories, or has other political and economic needs, these connections will be able to provide him with great help.

And today, arranging a job for Zhang Shenfei's niece-in-law is a good opportunity to integrate into this group.

Although my thoughts were turning thousands of times and I was weighing the pros and cons several times, it actually only took a few seconds.

After figuring it out, Secretary Fan laughed out loud: "Well, if you ask me, my niece-in-law's request is not high. No matter where you work, aren't you contributing to socialism?
I am not talented. I have only been in the tobacco factory for a few months and am still getting familiar with the work. But since you have this need, I will do it for you even if I risk everything. "

Zhang Shenfei also smiled and picked up the wine pot to pour wine for Secretary Fan: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Fan to take care of my niece's job as a clerk."

Secretary Fan tapped the table with his fingers to express his gratitude, and then said, "What clerk? My niece-in-law graduated from a regular high school. According to the policy, she can be a cadre! I will arrange this matter. Brother Zhang, leave it to me."

Being a cadre??? Zhang Shenfei was really satisfied now.

Although according to regulations, the minimum educational level for cadres is high school, there are many college and high school graduates now, and the country has also proposed a plan to reduce the number of high school and college students.

The plan has been launched, and in the next three to four years, the high school and college admission rates will drop significantly.

Of course, these are all later stories and have nothing to do with Zhang Shenfei’s dinner today.

There is an oversupply of graduates. Although these high school students will not be unemployed like junior high school and elementary school students after graduation, most of them cannot be employed according to the highest standards.

Although a girl with He Yushui's personality is destined not to go far in her official career, who would want to be an official when there are cadres around?

"Brother Fan is so open-minded. I'll drink it up, you can do as you please!!!" He raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Secretary Fan was not an ignorant person. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and then turned the glass upside down.

The two of them laughed, and the others began to raise their glasses, and the atmosphere became lively again.

They joked with each other, exchanged experiences, and communicated with each other and between factories.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone was drunk and had garlic under their feet. Zhang Shenfei just felt a little strange. He rarely got drunk, but today he felt dizzy.

Although it was uncomfortable, after all he was the host, so he endured the discomfort and stood at the gate of Yunju Hutong, seeing off the guests one by one and watching them walk away.

In the kitchen, Shazhu and Xiaopang cleaned up the messy table, then came out carrying a toolbox to say goodbye.

"Well, the house is cleaned, the dishes are washed, and so on. Well, well, how about we leave first?" Although he was forced by everyone to call him Second Uncle during the engagement, most of the time, Sha Zhu couldn't open his mouth and could only vaguely say nothing to get by.

Zhang Shenfei was a little drunk today. He put his arm around Sha Zhu's shoulders and said with a grin, "Do you know why Second Uncle is treating us today?"

"What?" Shazhu glared at Xiaopang, looking a little embarrassed.

Xiaopang was quite sensible. He moved a few steps to the side with the toolbox on his back, but his ears were still erect like antennas, for fear of missing a word from Zhang Shenfei.

Sha Zhu was very dissatisfied and shouted: "Xiaopang, the work has been done, you can go first."

Xiaopang looked back every few steps, and his footsteps were as heavy as going to a grave.

Zhang Shenfei patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Yu Shui has a job, the Sijiucheng Tobacco Factory. He will be a full-fledged cadre once he enters."

Hiss! ! Shazhu’s pupils suddenly shrank, and then he was ecstatic! ! Cadres? ? ? ! ! They are really cadres! ! The real cadre class.

You have to know that the people that the street had previously arranged for Yu Shui to work in, whether it was a department store or a textile factory, were only clerks, not even staff members.

It is already difficult to go from an ordinary office clerk to a clerk, and from a clerk to a cadre, that is a qualitative leap.

Generally speaking, if everything goes well, it takes ten years to move from a clerk to a cadre.

What if you are unlucky? Humph! How many people have worked all their lives but still cannot reach the threshold of cadres when they retire?

But Da Fei's drinking meant that Yu Shui had to work less for at least ten years!!!
Sha Zhu now really realized Zhang Shenfei's power: "Second Uncle, such a difficult task was accomplished by you after a meal??? You are this!!"

He gave a thumbs up and his smiling face looked like a chrysanthemum blooming in September.

The two grew up together. Previously, Zhang Shenfei rose from a clerk in the Propaganda Department to deputy factory director, and he was on good terms with those big shots. Although he was envious and jealous, he did not quite understand the significance of it.

Thanks to the current not-so-big gap between the rich and the poor, and the stable jobs of the working class, in Sha Zhu's eyes, Zhang Shenfei, the deputy factory director, is nothing more than having a bicycle to ride and a higher salary...

As for food, supplies and housing, it seems that there is not much difference between them.

Sha Zhu is a reckless man. The reason why he dared to confront Li Huaide and did not take Director Yang seriously in the past was largely because he did not know the room for arbitrary use of power.

The wise are those who are ignorant and fearless.

But now, the most difficult job for ordinary people in this era is easily accomplished by the other party.

Especially when the beneficiaries of this job were his own family members, Sha Zhu was deeply shocked.

It turns out that the workers' iron rice bowl is not worth mentioning at all in the face of power.

In an instant, he realized that although he and Zhang Shenfei were childhood friends, there was a huge difference between them now.

In the minds of ordinary people, it takes more than ten years of hard work to get a job.

But who gets the job, how to get it, and how long to get it, are actually all things that those in power can handle while toasting and chatting.

After being greatly shocked, Sha Zhu called out "Second Uncle" again, and it was from the bottom of his heart. This call lasted for a lifetime! !
Zhang Shenfei didn't know how much of a psychological impact this dinner had on Sha Zhu. He let Sha Zhu go and rubbed his sore temples:

"No, I've drunk too much. I'll lie down for a while to sober up. Go back to the courtyard and tell Zao'er, I'll be back later."

"Hey, Second Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely convey the message to Second Aunt." Sha Zhu was very respectful. He supported Zhang Shenfei and sent him into the yard, and personally made the bed for him.

After helping Zhang Shenfei get on the kang, Sha Zhu carefully closed the door and then walked out of the yard with a relaxed pace.

As he walked, he hummed: "The sky in the liberated areas is sunny, and the people in the liberated areas like it so much!!"

When I went out the door, I saw Xiaopang still waiting there with a toolbox, and I said "Ya hu hi hi a ya hi" out of tune.

"Little Fatty? Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiao Pang followed with a wry smile: "I'm waiting for you, Master. Are you happy today?"

Hey, Sha Zhu was happy again: "Happy!! Our He family is going to have a cadre!!!"

Xiao Pang was shocked: "Master, are you going to be transferred to work in the office?"

What kind of world is this? Shazhu doesn't need to know as many words as I do! He has become a cadre already? ?

Damn!! If he can do it, why can’t I? ? ? Xiaopang was upset.

Sha Zhu glared at him and said, "Your master can't even read a few characters, how can he be a cadre? My sister, He Yushui, is going to Yan. Anyway, no matter where, she will be a cadre!!!"

Remembering Zhang Shenfei's advice to "keep it secret for success, and leak it will lead to failure", he waved his hand.

"Forget it. Why am I telling you this? What does it have to do with you? Just carry your toolbox."

After saying that, he continued walking forward with big strides.

"The democratic government loves the people, and the Communist Party's kindness is endless..."

Behind him, Xiaopang turned his head and looked towards the gate of the courtyard, his eyes full of envy.

……

Yunju Hutong is the house bought by Zhang Shenfei, and after that he has lent it to Xu Huizhen and her daughter to live in.

The front house was converted into a tavern and a large door was opened.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the inner courtyard, the north room and the ear room next to it are the residence of Xu Huizhen and her daughter.

The east wing was previously occupied by Grandma Zhang and several of the Zhang family's boys, and the west wing was converted into a dining room by Zhang Shenfei, which was used for occasional entertaining guests and meetings.

After Grandma Zhang left, the east wing became vacant, and Zhang Shenfei was now taking a nap on the carved bed in the east wing.

He drank a lot of wine but didn't sleep very well. In addition, the red medicinal wine was really strong, so he just felt dry mouth and tongue.

I was half asleep and half awake, and was about to get up to get some water to drink when I heard the door of the room creak open.

"Brother Zhang? Brother Zhang, are you asleep?"

It was Xu Huizhen's voice. Zhang Shenfei opened his eyes with great effort and saw Xu Huizhen standing at the bedside with a glass of water: "You feel uncomfortable after drinking. Have some honey water."
