Chapter 45: The Factory Director (10)

  "After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Hongfei smiled and said to Chen Liang and others, 'Everyone, sorry about this, the leader is looking for us, can't delay, let's chat slowly next time.'"

  In the courtyard of the municipal party committee, there were many rumors and whispers. The reception room was a place where these rumors gathered and dispersed. Chen Liang and others naturally knew why Lin Hongfei had done this. As subordinates of Director Wu, they didn't dare to keep him waiting for long. If it got back to Director Wu's ears that they had been chatting with Lin Hongfei, it would be very bad. The boss would definitely be displeased: So implementing the leader's instructions is not as important as your chat?

  Those who can work in the municipal party committee office are all clever, Chen Liang immediately smiled and urged, not forgetting to make a small joke to bring him closer to Lin Hongfei, "Ah, look at my memory, seeing old classmates is too exciting, I was busy chatting with old classmates and almost forgot about the leader's important matter, hurry up, don't let the boss wait."

  Lin Hongfei stepped aside, making way for Gu Guangming, who had been intentionally or unintentionally ignored by everyone before. He smiled and said, "This is our factory's Director Gu, an old classmate..."

  Before Lin Hongfei finished speaking, Chen Liang immediately understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly. "This is easy to say," he said, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Director Guo, saying apologetically, "Director Guo, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long here. Why don't you come with me to the reception room and have a cup of tea?"

  For others, sitting in the reception room of the municipal party committee office is a great honor. However, for those who work at the reception desk, it's up to them to decide who to receive and who not to receive. From the working principle of the reception desk, there is a provision that "warmly receives every visiting guest".

  There is a rule that when it comes to receiving guests, everyone is speechless.

  Can I really have the qualification to drink a cup of tea at the reception? Never had such treatment, even the rare customer director who came from the municipal committee compound was extremely excited and even a little dazed, his head spinning, only knowing to smile foolishly and nod repeatedly, "This is not good... too much trouble... too much trouble..."

  Chen Liang and his colleagues exchanged a tacit glance, followed by a heartfelt smile. The municipal party committee's compound was such a sacred and solemn place! Even for those who worked inside the compound every day, each time they stepped into this sacred and solemn courtyard, they were always cautious and reverent in their hearts. How could it be otherwise for someone like Director Gu, who had so few opportunities to come to the municipal party committee's compound? Director Gu's behavior was perfectly normal, and everyone didn't find it strange at all.

  …………………

  According to Chen Liang's directions, Lin Hongfei arrived at the left side of the second floor. There was a sign that read "Director's Office" on the door, so he knew he had arrived. The entire second floor was very quiet, and there was no one in the corridor. However, several office doors were slightly ajar, and occasionally, voices could be heard coming from inside.

  Although the director of the municipal party committee office is also a major leader of the municipal party committee, the director of the municipal party committee office is the general manager of the municipal party committee. Providing good service to leaders is the main responsibility of the director of the municipal party committee office, so there is no need to set up a separate secretary's office outside. This is also the meaning that should be in the question. If the leader sees it, the impact will be very bad. The leader has a dedicated secretary, and you, as a school leader serving the leader, actually want to set up a dedicated secretary for yourself. Are you trying to...be on an equal footing with the leader?

  This problem is too serious.

  Standing at the door, Lin Hongfei took a deep breath and knocked on the door with a moderate force.

  After a brief moment, a gentle yet slightly stern voice came from inside the room, "Enter."

  "Yes." Lin Hongfei responded with a single word, pushing open the door and walking in.

  Although he had been to the Municipal Committee's compound many times, Lin Hongfei was visiting the office of the Director of the General Office for the first time. With a hint of curiosity, he quickly scanned the room. Contrary to his expectations, the office was not very large, it was a small suite with an outer room of no more than twenty square meters, and two small rooms, probably one being a rest room and the other a bathroom.

  In the center of the outer room, there was a large old-fashioned desk with a whole piece of glass on it, and under the glass was a green tablecloth; behind the desk against the wall was a large file cabinet filled with file boxes; in addition, on the sunny side of the room against the wall, several leather sofas and tea tables were placed for teachers; above the desk, there was also a ceiling fan, apart from that, there was nothing else in the office, looking simple and unadorned.

  "Hello, Director. I am Lin Hongfei." Lin Hongfei stood in front of the office desk and bowed to Wu Dàyǒng, Director Wu, with perfect etiquette. He knew that leaders still attached great importance to these formalities.

  Wu Dàyǒng naturally knew Lin Hóngfēi, as the city committee's big housekeeper, he was even more aware of Lin Hóngfēi's relationship with Dongfang Xiǎolíng and the relationship between the Lin family and the Dongfang Shūjì family. Although they had never interacted before, Wu Dàyǒng also knew that Lin Hóngfēi was a student at a national key university, which made him have a very good impression of Lin Hóngfēi. Now seeing Lin Hóngfēi being so polite and having a calm and composed demeanor, Wu Dàyǒng's good impression of him became even better, and he couldn't help but feel some surprise: "This kid is actually much more mature than those newly graduated students."

  With these few relationships, Wu Dajun no longer put on airs in front of Lin Hongfei, stood up, smiled and extended his hand to Lin Hongfei, "Comrade Lin Hongfei, come, sit over here."

  As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Hongfei to come over and sit on the sofa by the window, adopting an air of a senior chatting with his juniors.

  "Yes," Lin Hongfei hastily stepped forward, grasped Wu Dayong's hand and shook it twice with force, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Director."

  Watching Lin Hongfei being so polite, Wu Dayong was even more satisfied with the decision of Dongfang Shu & Ji. He thought to himself that a leader is indeed a leader, and their insight in evaluating people is truly unmatched. After sitting down on the sofa, he made a gesture to Lin Hongfei, saying "Sit, sit, Hongfei, you don't have to be polite when you're at your uncle's place."

  "Alright." Lin Hongfei nodded and sat down on the sofa, but his waist was straight as a pen, making him look particularly elegant.

  Seeing Lin Hongfei's "standing with poise and sitting with elegance", Wu Dayong nodded his head in admiration.
