Chapter 44: The Factory Director (9)

  When Director Gu heard Lin Hongfei say this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart: since it was Lin Hongfei's classmate, there was no need to worry about being driven out after entering, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. He pretended to be relaxed and said to Lin Hongfei, "Your classmate works at the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office? That's impressive."

  Lin Hongfei is the beloved son of City Military Division Deputy Commander Lin, and Dongfang Xiaoling is the only beloved daughter of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dongfang. I suppose this classmate of Lin Hongfei's who works in the reception office of the Municipal Party Committee doesn't come from an ordinary family either? thought Gu Guangming to himself.

  The Municipal Party Committee Reception Office is a confidential department of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and to some extent, it is even more important than the Secretary Section 1 and Secretary Section 2 of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Working here can bring you into contact with the main leaders of various bureaus and districts, which has great benefits for expanding your personal connections. Ordinary people have no opportunity or qualification to work in the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office, and there is even a saying in some bureaus that "it's better to use a section chief to exchange for a service staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office", which shows the importance of the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office.

  Gu Guangming's words had a hint of Lin Hongfei's meaning, if it were an ordinary university student, they would probably unintentionally reveal the details, but how could Lin Hongfei with over 20 years of experience be so easily fooled? He smiled quietly and said, "It's okay."

  Gu Guangming was immediately choked back with a prepared phrase: What's the meaning of "it's okay"? Didn't expect this kid to be quite slick.

  Looking at Gu Guangming's face with a slightly stiff smile, Lin Hongfei thought it was quite interesting, this Director Gu... hehe...

  ……………

  Lin Hongfei was not familiar with the municipal party committee, but that didn't mean the people in the municipal party committee office building were unfamiliar with him. As for Dongfang Xiaoling's beloved daughter, everyone naturally remembered her clearly. So, it was natural that Lin Hongfei, who had appeared multiple times with Dongfang Xiaoling in the municipal party committee compound and seemed to have a good relationship with her, attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives. It's still the same old saying: if you want to get by in the municipal party committee compound, having no discernment is absolutely not allowed.

  It's easy for people in the municipal party committee compound to get wind of some news, and within a few days, Lin Hongfei's identity was known to all. After learning about Lin Hongfei's identity, the staff members of the municipal party committee compound, as well as the grassroots and mid-level cadres, all looked at him with renewed respect: he is the child of the main leader of the municipal military district, and also a classmate of the daughter of the secretary of the municipal party committee for over a decade, and the two families have always had a good relationship.

  At that moment, the comrades at the Municipal Committee Reception Office saw Lin Hongfei bringing over Director Gu of the Municipal Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory... As a representative of the Municipal Committee, one of the basic skills required for staff working in the reception office is to remember the appearance of the main leaders from the municipal government, districts and counties, various bureaus, and major enterprises. Gu Guangming was newly appointed as the director of the office of the Municipal Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, temporarily in charge of the factory's daily work, so he naturally had the qualifications to be remembered by the comrades at the reception office... They hurried over to greet him, with Lin Hongfei and Chen Liang, Dongfang Xiaoling's classmate, leading the way.

  "Hongfei, you little rascal has arrived?" Seeing Lin Hongfei, Chen Liang quickly walked a few steps, with a face full of excitement at seeing an old classmate. Without any politeness, he gave Lin Hongfei a punch on the shoulder, "Good kid, didn't even say hello, if it wasn't for the boss's summons, you wouldn't have come to see your old classmate, would you?"

  Chen Liang graduated from junior college last year, and Old Man Chen has some connections in the city. Moreover, this kid is eloquent and has a sweet mouth, so he actually managed to get into the Municipal Committee's Reception Office. When Lin Hongfei heard the news at that time, he felt as if his eyes had fallen apart.

  The boss in Chen Liang's mouth is naturally Director Wu of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and as for Dongfang Shu Ji, he cannot be called boss, but rather Big Boss.

  "This isn't already known, is it?" Listening to Chen Liang's tone, it seemed that the news of his meeting with Director Wu had already spread throughout the entire municipal party committee compound. He couldn't help but smile wryly, "I'm saying, brother, I still don't know what Director Wu wants to see me about, how come it looks like everyone in the whole compound knows... Can you give your brother a hint, let him not be so anxious, is it good news or bad news?"

  Chen Liang's face immediately showed a mysterious smile, with unconcealed envy in his eyes. "Of course it's a good thing, a great thing. To be honest, even I'm jealous of you, I don't know how you managed to get such a lucky break... You're buying dinner next time, or else we brothers won't let you off the hook."

  That's definitely a good thing, Lin Hongfei thought to himself, but what exactly is this good thing? Chen Liang's eyes seemed to be filled with genuine envy, and the others' eyes also seemed to hold a hint of envy... Forget it, no need to think about it, as long as it's not a bad thing, that's all that matters. Since it's a good thing, what is there to worry about?

  Having made up his mind, Lin Hongfei smiled and said to Chen Liang, "Alright, brother, I'll take your auspicious words. If you're not deceiving me, we won't sober up tonight, and when the time comes, everyone will go together."

  The last sentence was said to several people from the municipal reception office who were present at the scene.

  "Alright," it's rare to have a chance to interact with Lin Hongfei, so everyone is eager not to miss the opportunity. Two young women who looked like they had just gotten married giggled and teased Lin Hongfei, "Lin University student, can you bring your family together tonight?"

  "Of course, you can bring your family members, and even their family members too." Lin Hongfei nodded seriously.

  "'A family member's family member?' This remark slightly tested her logical thinking, and for a moment, this little woman who dared to tease Lin Hongfei was at a loss for words. She muttered to herself for a few sentences before suddenly realizing what he meant, and laughed and scolded, 'Good one, Little Lin! You dare to make fun of your sister Li? A family member's family member - isn't that me myself?!'"

  Watching Lin Hongfei and several people from the Municipal Reception Office "flirting" here, Gu Guangming couldn't help but feel envious in his heart. This is what it means to have connections! When can he also be so glorious?

  As his gaze inadvertently fell on several comrades waiting to meet the leader, Gu Guangming suddenly felt that his waist was straightened a lot, and a sense of pride arose: Look, look at old Gu, he is also a qualified person to chat with the comrades from the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office, this face... tsk tsk... if it gets out, it's really going to be big!

  P.S: I despise myself for having misspoken. Not only did I not pay back the debt, but I also didn't complete today's task. Once again, I strongly despise myself.

  However, Qian Nian is a good comrade. Since there's a debt, it must be acknowledged. On the small notebook, he wrote neatly: Currently owing everyone four more shifts, will slowly repay over the next few days...
