Chapter 179 Investigation Team
When You Huiteng heard Tang Shuguang's words, he curled his lips with some disdain and said, "Director Tang, please give me."
Tang Shuguang was so angry that he was just a good person, but he was just a good person. The other party was one level higher than him, and the other party had more power than him. You know, the director and secretary general of the district government office are among the top figures in the entire Shicheng District. They are far from being an unpopular department like him, and the director with no real power can compare with him. Therefore, in front of You Huiteng, Tang Shuguang really couldn't say anything more ruthless.
An inspection team like them has to come down at least a hundred and a hundred from the city in a year and go to the sea. If the local area respects you, you are a person; but if someone ignores you, you are nothing.
For the Jiangzhou City directly under the leadership of the newly-respected deputy ministerial leader, Wan Changling, do you still dare to go back and make trouble in front of the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau? That's not to make any trouble! You must know that the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau now has to stay honestly after seeing Wan Changling. He is at the deputy ministerial level, and the real leader of the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau.
Moreover, Wan Chang'er is less than fifty years old now, and he is the time to be strong in his youth and strength. His future career is still long!
Isn’t it difficult for me to offend such a senior cadre?
Although Tang Shuguang received the benefits and instructed by others, he did not dare to engage in such matters. However, You Huiteng's attitude made him very dissatisfied. He immediately made a harsh statement, saying that he must investigate the dam collapse accident in Shicheng, otherwise he would never leave Shicheng half a step!
"Then Director Tang lives in Shicheng. Anyway, it's the standard of four dishes and one soup. If you want to stay, take it with you." You Huiteng said angrily.
Tang Shuguang and others talked to You Huiteng for a long time without any speculation, so they went to the hotel with their hands, and they didn't even bother to say more polite words.
After watching Tang Shuguang and others leave, You Huiteng snorted coldly. Then he directly called the Crown Hotel, the reception hotel of the district government.
"Is the Crown Hotel? I am You Huiteng. The working group from the Municipal Water Resources Bureau will check in your hotel. You must strictly follow the relevant standards of the superiors! There must be no violations or exceeding the standards!" After the phone was answered, You Huiteng said lightly.
The Crown Hotel is also very curious. Who messed with Secretary General You? The standard set is that although it is four dishes and one soup, that level is a bit difficult to swallow.
Four dishes and one soup have a long history and are said to be the first to be promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he encountered natural disasters, and the food was inadequate and the people lived a difficult life, but some high-ranking officials and nobles were extremely extravagant and lived a life of debauchery.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in poverty and had been begging for food, was very annoyed by this and was determined to rectify it.
One day, it happened to be Queen Ma's birthday celebration. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the opportunity of the ministers coming to celebrate his birthday and deliberately arranged a simple meal to host guests, so as to alert all civil and military officials.
After all officials sat together, Taizu ordered the palace maids to serve the dishes. The first dish was stir-fried radish. Radish, which is also a variety of medicines. There is a folk saying that radish is on the market and the medicine shop is closed. The second dish is stir-fried leeks. The leeks are vigorous and lively all year round, symbolizing the long-term stability of the country. Then there are two big bowls of green vegetables, which means that officials are honest and clean and breeze. The last dish is extremely ordinary scallion tofu soup.
After the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang announced in public that in the future, all the ministers can only treat four dishes and one soup at most. This time, the queen's birthday banquet is a role model. If anyone violates it, he will be severely punished.
As for the independence of our dynasty, we have always been people-oriented and advocated integrity. Everyone is the public servant of the people, so we naturally cannot be separated from the masses. This tradition of four dishes and one soup must be adhered to. Therefore, in many formal occasions, four dishes and one soup are explicitly required.
However, in recent years, the atmosphere has been open and the people's living standards have been gradually improved. The standard of four dishes and one soup has gradually been relaxed. Above the banquets to receive superior guests, there are no more than a dozen or twenty dishes that cannot be served.
With Secretary-General You Huiteng's special instructions, Crown Hotel certainly asked for instructions. Therefore, when Tang Shuguang and his group stayed in the hotel and settled for a while before coming to the restaurant, they found that the dishes on the table were really terrible: a plate of fried lettuce, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of green pepper shredded potatoes, a plate of refried meat, and a pot of tomato and egg soup.
The dish is simple, but the problem is that there is a greenworm on the leaves of the green vegetables. There are pig hairs on the slices of the double-cooked meat. The green peppers and shredded potatoes are really fried with green peppers. The fried lettuce is really fried, as if there is no drop of oil. As for the tomato and egg soup, the portion is sufficient and the frangipani is well beaten, but there are no tomato and eggs, and basically it is all soup. There are only a little frangipani and tomato floating on the soup.
"Waiter, is this the dish you serve?" Tang Shuguang stared at the waiter who delivered the dishes and asked.
"Yes, of course it's the dish we served. Is there any problem?" the waiter asked with an innocent look on his face.
"Is this four dishes and one soup?" Tang Shuguang pointed to the dishes on the table and asked relentlessly.
"Of course it's four dishes and one soup, don't you know how to count?" The waiter looked at Tang Shuguang with a fool's eyes, then pointed to the dishes on the table and said to him, "One, two, three, four. Four dishes, one soup, four dishes and one soup."
"This is the four dishes and one soup in your Shicheng?!" Tang Shuguang asked angrily, "I didn't look like this when I came to Shicheng last time! I don't know if you bully me?"
The waiter was not afraid of him glaring at his eyes, so he glared back and said, "The hotel manager was already in trouble because of the corruption case last time! Now Secretary Wan has instructed that everything must be prepared strictly in accordance with the standards set by the superior department. So, what you see is the four dishes and one soup in Xindi!"
After saying that, the waiter left without caring about the reactions of the "superior leaders" next to the table.
The waiter's words were not all lies. Indeed, the manager of the Crown Hotel had been staying in prison because of the corruption case. The person was no one else, but one of Zong Haicheng's mistresses. Moreover, Zong Haicheng's embezzlement of money was mostly handled by her. Therefore, after the Zong Haicheng incident, the manager of the Crown Hotel was the target of severe punishment and was sentenced to fifteen years, just like Zong Haicheng.
"It's against the sky, it's against the sky!" Tang Shuguang certainly knew about Zong Haicheng's case, but this had nothing to do with what the service industry said. The service industry was completely fooling him, so Tang Shuguang was so angry that he slapped the table, "Is this something that makes people eat?!"
"It's great. I'm having a public meal and thinking about having a full meal in Man and Han? I should thank you very much if I have to eat!" A diner on the table next to me said sarcastically.
Tang Shuguang was furious when he heard this. When he saw that there were four dishes and one soup on the other party’s table, the variety of flowers and colors was much better than the ones on his side. He pressed his anger and asked, “You guys have four dishes and one soup?!”
"We are at our own expense. If you are willing to pay for it, there are abalone and sea cucumber. You don't know that this Crown Hotel is a real four-star hotel, and there are still many good things." The diner said with a smile, his eyes sweeping around Tang Shuguang and others, but with a very disdainful expression, as if he knew that they would not pay for it themselves.
No, who would be willing to go on a business trip if you eat at your own expense? However, Tang Shuguang thought that the food here would definitely not be able to swallow. Maybe it was You Huiteng who was troubled by him. After all, the reception hotel of the district government should be directly managed by the secretary-general of the district government. He had a fight with him just now, and it was obviously You Huiteng who was holding a grudge, which made him disgusted with this four dishes and one soup!
So Tang Shuguang suggested to several people from the investigation team: "Forget it, we can't eat here, so let's go out to find a restaurant to eat by ourselves!"
Of course, his men welcomed him with both hands. Anyway, the funds for the event are all in Tang Shuguang's hands, so it's useless to not eat it.
So they stood up, and the food on the table was about to leave without moving at all. At this time, the diner just now said sourly: "Master Guan is Master Guan. The food that we ordinary people cannot eat is like pig food in their eyes. Oh, eating it is good, and we don't feel sorry at all!"
Tang Shuguang was almost mad and thought to himself what was wrong with Shicheng? Even the inspection team from the city dared not take it seriously. What are they going to do alone?!
Anyway, I can't stay here anymore. Tang Shuguang thought to himself that if he had known that Shicheng was like this, he wouldn't have come to kill him, let alone agreed to stand up for Wen Yuanqing.
Whoever they love comes and whoever they come!
Seeing Tang Shuguang and others leaving, the diner just now smiled and said, "It's really strange. Why can't Secretary-General You get along with them? Such four dishes and one soup are obviously specially for the Han Guo people!"
"Xiaofeng, is this the hospitality level in our Shicheng? It seems that it is not very friendly!" The girl next to him said in surprise.
"It's not just unfriendly, it's just intentional cheating!" said the diner.
The diner was Jiang Feng, but he happened to come here by chance. He had just finished the final exam and suddenly remembered that the beautiful host of Shicheng TV station had invited him to her residence for dinner, but he had not yet invited him back, so he called her to invite her. However, Jiang Feng did not intend to invite him at home, and his parents were already very dissatisfied with him bringing a few girls home. If he brought another beautiful host home, they might be furious.
As the pillar of Shicheng TV, Zhang Zixiang appears on TV every day. Jiang Feng’s parents know Zhang Zixiang. (To be continued...)
