Chapter 66: Giving Gifts (1)

It was already ten days after Lu Yan was discharged from the hospital. These ten days in the hospital were the ten most leisurely days for Lu Yan since he was admitted as a civil servant. Of course, they were also the ten most pleasant days. Not to mention that he no longer had to work hard every day.

, having Lin Xiaoyun by my side is also very, very useful.

Lu Yan was also thinking that his ancestors once said that "a blessing in disguise" is not unreasonable. He made a first appearance for the demolition households. Although he was beaten up by Chen Xiaofei and the others, although the injury was not serious, he also benefited from it.

First, the demolition agreement was successfully resolved. Second, he had a rare opportunity for a "therapeutic vacation." The third and most important point was that through this hospitalization, he

The relationship with Lin Xiaoyun has made substantial progress. Hehe, holding hands and kissing, these are things he used to be evil but not courageous. Unexpectedly, he has succeeded in everything in one go in the past few days. And animals like women,

Once it's the first time, there won't be much resistance in the future. During the past few days in the hospital, he kissed Lin Xiaoyun's little mouth frequently. As for holding hands, that was already a common occurrence.

After Lu Yan was discharged from the hospital, it was only half a month before the Chinese New Year. All the targets and tasks were almost completed, and the inspection tasks were suddenly reduced a lot. However, another "important task" was mentioned again.

agenda.

As the New Year approaches, "gift-giving" is naturally a very important thing. In today's society, "gift-giving" is also a science. It is very particular about who to give it to, what standard to give it to, when to give it, and how to give it. During the New Year, "gift-giving" is also a science.

It’s a good time to give gifts. It’s not good to give them too early. It’s hard to find a gimmick for giving gifts. It’s also not good to give them late. It doesn’t look very sincere. Now is neither early nor late. It’s the best time to give gifts.

Official wife Xia Qiu naturally knows this well. This is Lu Yan's first year at work. As soon as he came out of the hospital, Xia Qiu urged Lu Yan to visit the leaders of the Youth League Provincial Committee and the Supervision Office.

Lu Yan had a headache when he heard about gift-giving. As for this "knowledge", he was still a primary school student. Firstly, he didn't know how to give gifts, and secondly, he didn't know what to give. Xia Qiu taught him a lot about correct gift-giving.

He felt that he couldn't do it in such a way.

The world is like this. Some people worry about giving gifts, while others are troubled by receiving gifts.

Wei Bangkun is the type of person who is troubled by receiving gifts.

Although he has been in the officialdom for decades and has been a department-level cadre for four or five years, it is the first time in Wei Bangkun's official career that so many people are begging to treat him to dinner and to give him gifts.

In the past few decades, there were not so many gifts as this year. This is the first year that he has been transferred to the position of director of the inspection office. Due to the special nature of his job, he has given a lot of money and gifts.

Set a rule for himself that he would never accept money from others. Even if it was tobacco, wine, tea, etc., he would not accept it at first. Later, he realized that if he did not accept even such small gifts, it would be difficult for him to be in the officialdom.

If I continue to mess around, I have to change my attitude, refuse cash and accept items or shopping cards. In less than a year as director of the inspection office, I have received nearly a hundred shopping cards alone, adding up to over 100,000.

Wei Bangkun knew in his heart that all this was because of the chair under his butt and the power in his hands. Not counting the beginning of his official career, naturally no one knew who he was at that time. Although he had stepped into it a few years ago,

At the level of the main department, the research office of the Provincial Party Committee is just a cold yamen. At best, people will say that you are the leader’s think tank and praise you a few words.

Your home is not of much use, and people will not give you any benefits. Since becoming the director of the Provincial Party Committee’s Inspection Office this year, Wei Bangkun has clearly felt that others’ attitudes towards him are different. Although his level is still the same as before, but in his hands

However, his power has become much greater. In his hand is the Shang Fang Sword given by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Every prince is afraid that this sword will eventually cut him.

As a result, Wei Bangkun's status increased a lot. On weekdays, even the mayors and ministers were polite to him when they met him. During the Chinese New Year, all kinds of favors and courtesy were indispensable.

Some people give gifts directly to their homes, while others give gifts at the wine table. At such times, Wei Bangkun is always polite and accepts them half-heartedly. This is what officialdom is like. Most of the time, people don’t necessarily ask you to do things.

, it’s just a normal emotional investment. If you don’t accept it, you will appear far away from others. Just like Zhao Feng, Wei Bangkun not only couldn’t refuse the gift he sent this year, but also accepted it comfortably.

Zhao Feng is the director of the Highway Bureau under the Provincial Department of Transportation. To say that this Highway Bureau is really a fat and oily unit. In this day and age, the departments that make money for the government are always tight-knit departments, while the departments that spend money for the government

But it has always been a spendthrift department. However, since Secretary Xu Richeng took office, this kind of department has also been the key inspection department of the Inspection Office. In Secretary Richeng's concept, it doesn't matter if you spend money generously, the key is that you have to give things to me.

Get it done.

Because of this, Wei Bangkun and Zhao Feng often interacted with each other on weekdays. On this day, Zhao Feng called again and arranged to have dinner together. Wei Bangkun happened to have nothing to do after get off work, so he readily agreed.

When Wei Bangkun rushed to the place to eat, Zhao Feng had already arrived. In addition to Zhao Feng, there were two people in the room. One was the office director of the Highway Bureau, surnamed Yang, and the other was Wei Bangkun's college classmate from the Provincial Transportation Station.

Webmaster Wang Huabing.

This point also reflects Zhao Feng's brilliance. Asking Wang Huabing to accompany him can shorten the distance between him and Wei Bangkun, and there will be some conversation topics during the dinner. More importantly, it can give Wei Bangkun a chance to have a good relationship in front of his former classmates.

A sense of pride and superiority. What are the best things for a man? First, he is lustful, and second, he is good-looking. The relationship between Zhao Feng and Wei Bangkun is not that familiar yet, so they did not choose the first one, but they will definitely not let go of the second one.

When Wei Bangkun came in, Wang Huabing and Director Yang stood up to greet him. Zhao Feng also stood up from the back and came over to shake hands with Wei Bangkun. He put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the main seat. Wei Bangkun himself felt that they had a close relationship.

iron.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhao Feng gave a slight wink. Director Yang took a gift box from the sofa next to him and carefully handed it to Zhao Feng's hand. After Zhao Feng took the box, he quietly placed it on Wei Bangkun's hand.

before.

Seeing that Zhao Feng remained calm, Wei Bangkun also asked calmly, what is this?

Zhao Feng smiled and said that this was a car model given by the organizer when he attended a press conference. There was no place in his office to know that Director Wei could collect it, so he borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.

Wei Bangkun smiled and said that Director Zhao was interested, and then turned to Wang Huabing and chatted with him about things in college. But although he was talking to Wang Huabing, Wei Bangkun was still thinking about the gift box. He knew what was inside.

The thing he was wearing was definitely not a car model. If it was really that thing, Wang Huabing wouldn't be able to handle it, and he had never been interested in collecting car models.

However, Wei Bangkun did not tell this matter. Except for himself, everyone sitting here was from Zhao Feng's side. He believed that these people must know what was inside. In this case, the things inside would definitely not be too valuable or expensive.

It was Taichi's thing, so it didn't matter if he accepted it, and since the other party said it was just a car model, Wei Bangkun was happy to pretend to be confused.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guest. Everyone wore a thick mask and performed at the dinner table, and the only theme of the performance was to make the atmosphere harmonious. Over time, the people wearing masks had forgotten that the other person was at the dinner table.
