official journey ups and downs

Wu Jiangkai lay on the sofa, rubbed his face and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, then you and Wei Gang go to eat something, I'm not hungry. I'm tired and want to rest for a while, come and call me at 5 pm." Wu Jiangkai said a little tiredly.

Seeing Wu Jiangkai like this, Shen Tong felt uncomfortable, and insisted: "Secretary Wu, you should eat something, or how can your body bear it, your high blood pressure..."

Seeing that Shen Tong cared about him so much, Wu Jiangkai felt a little relaxed in his depressed mood, and said with a forced smile, "Okay, you can ask the waiter to bring me some rice, and I'll just eat as much as I can."

After Shen Tong got the order, he quickly ran to the restaurant on the third floor, ordered a few light dishes for Wu Jiangkai, and asked the waiter to bring them up.I and Lao Wei ate casually in the restaurant, and then went to the room to wait for Wu Jiangkai's order.

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when Wu Jiangkai woke up. He wanted to visit Qiu Zhiguo again, but he denied this idea after thinking about it.But he was not willing to just go back in despair, after much deliberation, he decided to meet his old classmate, Zhou Tianyong who worked in the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences.

The full name of the Academy of Social Sciences is the Dongjiang Academy of Social Sciences, which is a specialized research institution for philosophy and social sciences under the direct leadership and management of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. It consists of Economic Research Institute, Energy Research Institute, History Research Institute, Political Science Research Institute, etc The 10 research institutes have their own public opinion positions, and their main role is to study the party's political theory, and through a large number of research practices, form a set of practical implementation opinions and work plans, which can cover areas such as economics, politics, culture, Ecology, people's livelihood, etc. can be said to be omnipotent. They are the "think tanks" and "think tanks" of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and some constructive opinions and plans come from here.

If we say that the provincial party committee and the provincial government have their own political research offices, their functions and roles are different. One is macro control and overall consideration; The Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee is "Dongjiang Frontier", one is the research position of experts and scholars, and the other is specific to a certain place, a specific analysis of a certain event, existing problems, and countermeasure research.

Qiao Renfu, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, paid special attention to the development of "Dongjiang Frontier". It can be said that this position can directly reflect his ruling philosophy and next-step developments.

Wu Jiangkai's old classmate Zhou Tianyong was a small head of the Institute of Political Science of the Academy of Social Sciences. He devoted his whole life to research, and his life was so-so.It is not at the same level as Wujiang Kaibi, who holds real power.Wu Jiangkai usually walked back and forth, but when he arrived in Dongquan County, he was too busy with things and gradually alienated him.

Zhou Tianyong was doing nothing, when he received a call from Wu Jiangkai, he did not shy away from his situation, agreed to meet without hesitation, and appointed to go to "Weiyang Pavilion" for dinner, Wu Jiangkai acquiesced, and agreed to meet in 10 minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jiangkai called Shen Tong over and asked Lao Wei to stay in the hotel and let him drive there together.This is a great trust, Shen Tong is a little excited, no matter what Wu Jiangkai's future will be, as long as he serves him for a day, he must do his best.

Shen Tong went to look for Old Wei, but Old Wei was eager to hide away, so without thinking about it, he threw the car keys to him, and handed him the 2 yuan he had with him.

With the money in hand, Shen Tong dragged Wu Jiangkai straight to "Weiyang Pavilion".

Shen Tong met with the general manager of Tiancheng Company in "Weiyang Pavilion" when negotiating.As mentioned earlier, "Weiyang Pavilion" is an ancient building in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was contracted by discerning businessmen and developed into a teahouse with meals. Most of the celebrities who come here to consume.It is estimated that Zhou Tianyong is usually reluctant and unable to come here to spend money, so he finally seized an opportunity and slaughtered it hard.

When we arrived at "Weiyang Pavilion", Zhou Tianyong was already waiting at the door.After seeing Wu Jiangkai get off the car, he walked forward to shake hands with his head on the shelf, and greeted him in the tone of a provincial leader: "Well, Wu Jiangkai, have you forgotten your brother a long time ago? Haha."

Wu Jiangkai laughed and said, "Brother Tianyong, you are embarrassing me. You are a provincial magistrate, I am a county magistrate, how dare I forget you. Generally, I dare not bother you about anything. I just arrived in Longzhong today. First of all, I invite you to have a meal first, to reminisce about the past, it’s interesting enough, haha.”

Zhou Tianyong's eyes are very small, hidden deep under the thick lenses, and he can't see his eyes at all in the night.With a flat nose and a square mouth, the whole person looks extremely wretched and disgusting.He saw Shen Tong beside Wu Jiangkai, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"

Wu Jiangkai introduced: "My secretary graduated from Dongjiang University."

What kind of person to talk to and what kind of words to say, also asked Shen Tong, Wu Jiangkai introduced to Qiu Zhiguo as "a person who is smart and intelligent", while introduced to Zhou Tianyong, said "graduated from Dongjiang University", Zhou Tianyong is a literati, so the source very interested.Sure enough, he immediately chatted with Shen Tong, and when he learned that Shen Tong was Zhong Yusheng's student, he took Shen Tong's hand and walked to the backyard.

The last time Shen Tong had dinner with Guo Weijian was in the front yard. He did not expect the backyard to be so open. The row of rooms along the Dongjiang River was already overcrowded. The waiter took them to the last room. Although the room was small, it was decorated in a simple and elegant way. Very warm.

After the three sat down, Wu Jiangkai handed the recipe to Zhou Tianyong.Zhou Tianyong was so unceremonious that he was too expensive, Shen Tong was terrified when he heard it.A "big lobster braised in oil" actually costs more than 800 yuan, which is not enough for a month's salary.

Zhou Tianyong ordered six dishes, Shen Tong stared at the menu and carefully calculated the prices, good guy!It was about 2000 yuan, not counting the drinks. This week Tianyong looked like a connoisseur. He was used to eating free meals often, without blinking his eyes.On the contrary, Wu Jiangkai was very indifferent, and continued to urge: "These few dishes are fine, order again, order again, finally get together and eat openly."

Just to be polite, Zhou Tianyong took the recipe without any hesitation and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. It just so happens that your sister-in-law hasn't cooked at home, so I'll bring them back to try something new. We can't afford a place like this." .” After finishing speaking, he ordered another four or five dishes, and only gave up when he was satisfied.

After the waiter asked about the drinks, Zhou Tianyong raised his eyelids, thinking he was an important official, knocked on the table and said, "Moutai, I'm not used to drinking other wines, I feel sick to my stomach!"

Wu Jiangkai immediately told the waiter: "Four bottles of Moutai!"

Zhou Tianyong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I can't drink that much."

Wu Jiangkai smiled and said, "I know I can't drink it, so I'll bring you two bottles back."

"Well, what a shame, hahaha..."

After the waiter left, Shen Tong was busy pouring water, Zhou Tianyong hung his clothes on the chair, and said with a smile: "You are the one who is promising among our classmates, and you are a prince at a young age, it's like I get into the pile of words every day , what a miserable state!"
