Chapter 50: Inviting Guests (Seeking Collection and Recommendations)

  Zhang Qingyun left the government office, feeling a wave of annoyance. Wu De's words were clearly meant to be intimidating, and the government work was in disarray. If things went wrong, Li Gang would inevitably get a reputation for being incompetent, and he himself would also be implicated.

  Jia Zhen taught that old thing is not a good bird, knowing that Zhang Qingyun's mood was bad, he still pulled Zhang Qingyun to have a nonsense chat, Zhang Qingyun couldn't be too cold, so she had to pretend to be polite, it wasn't easy to get rid of his entanglement.

  She glanced at her watch and saw that it was only 5:30. Zhang Qingyun couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately called Wang Hua and the two of them hailed a taxi and rushed to Xia'er Mountain Villa.

  "Director Zhang, where are you taking us? It can't be to 'Dawn Villa', can it?" Zhang Qian said in a gentle voice.

  "You also know about Xiaoluo Manor? We're going there." Zhang Qingyun chuckled and left the county committee compound, and as soon as he came into contact with his two subordinates, his mood improved a lot.

  "This will cost you a fortune. I've heard that place is very expensive. Usually, people only go there for business meals." Wang Huahua said.

  "What a waste?" Zhang Qingyun sneered inwardly, these two guys really thought they were poor people, last time Geng Zhan gave him a card with tens of thousands of yuan and he hadn't even spent it yet! Money was nothing to Zhang Qingyun now.

  "When treating guests, one must be sincere! I want to really invite you to a street stall, and you might have some opinions about it?"

  Zhang Qian and Wang Huahua were a bit shy, obviously Zhang Qingyun had guessed their thoughts. Zhang Qingyun glanced at them with her eyes, and the two of them were indeed dressed differently from this morning. Wang Huahua changed out of his casual clothes and put on a long windbreaker, although he was a bit thin, but still looked spirited, with a few points of a young cadre's demeanor.

  Wang Qian then put on a fiery red down jacket, tied a white scarf around her neck, and applied some light makeup to her face, giving off a very refreshing feeling.

  The car drove on the county highway for a while, and Xiaoluo Manor arrived. Along the way, because Zhang Qingyun was close in age to them and was also relatively easy-going, it didn't take long for the few of them to lose their initial awkwardness and gradually start chatting.

  Xiao Er Mountain Villa Zhang Qingyun wasn't the first to arrive, the person in charge saw him and went forward calling out "Director Zhang" before and after, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

  Zhang Qingyun secretly pursed her lips, thinking that Geng Shuang had found such a group of people who were good at flattering, but it was true that Xiaoye Mountain Villa succeeded in this aspect. Every person who came here felt like they had face, and the service staff were all humble, letting you order them around as you pleased. Throwing a large sum of money could enjoy the taste of power, which was indeed a great place to relieve stress.

  "Just find me a private room! There are only three of us."

  "Alright, Director Zhang, the two leaders, this way please." The service staff member responsible for leading the way smiled sweetly at Zhang Qingyun and the other three. Zhang Qian and Wang Huahua might be being called "leaders" for the first time by someone else, although it felt a bit unnatural, but their expressions were still very pleasant.

  Zhang Qingyun and several others followed the waiter into the private room and sat down. He then handed over the task of ordering dishes to Zhang Qian, but this little girl messed around for half a day and couldn't get it right.

  "Director Zhang, this...this is a bit expensive, I'm not sure if I can afford it!" Zhang said with a red face.

  Zhang Qingyun smiled and turned to the waiter, saying: "For the main course, bring 'Shi Men Fei Chang', 'Bao Chao Zhu Ji' and 'Qing Dun Qi Rou'. For the side dishes, just bring whatever looks good. Bring a bottle of Wuliangye and another bottle of apple vinegar."

  After the waiter left, Zhang Qingyun smiled and said: "How was it? I'm being sincere when I invited you to dinner, this meal almost cost me a month's salary."

  Zhang Qian and Wang Hua looked at each other, and she suddenly said: "So Director Zhang is also a moonlight clan, I am too. Last month when I received my salary, I bought only one piece of clothing, just this one. Do you think it's beautiful?"

  "Pffft!" Zhang Qingyun almost spat out the tea in his mouth, but when he looked up and saw that Zhang Qian was dead serious, he really didn't know how to respond.

  "Hmm, hmm, this place is really too luxurious. Look at this room, these chairs, this carpet. My dad has never brought me here before, but he himself often comes." Zhang Qiang seemed to ignore Zhang Qingyun's overreaction, and instead looked around left and right, full of praise, which made Wang Hua's eyebrows furrow.

  "Xiao Zhang, you used to work at a TV station? Did Xiao Wang also use to work at a TV station?" Zhang Qingyun changed the subject and said.

  "Huh? Director Zhang, how did you know? Huaz and I used to work at the TV station, I was a formal employee, he was temporary. I thought he wanted to take the civil service exam, that's why I had feelings for him, but it turns out being a civil servant isn't great either, just idle all day." Zhang Qian said.

  "Zhang Qian, you'd choke to death if you spoke a few less sentences? All day long, all you know is to complain." Wang Hua took over the conversation, he was obviously much more calm and composed than Zhang Qian.

  Zhang Qingyun shook his head, indicating that it was okay, young people have ideals and reality gaps, which is understandable. Suddenly, he had an epiphany, a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked:

  "What did you used to do at the TV station?"

  "What else can we do? Just doing odd jobs, Huazi occasionally goes out to shoot some outdoor scenes, and I'm just editing the footage he brings back. What prospects does a county TV station have?" Zhang Qian said with a pout.

  Zhang Qingyun nodded secretly, and he had already made a preliminary judgment in his heart. These two people can still be trained. At least the spirit of self-improvement is still reflected in them, working while taking the civil service exam, without a certain amount of ambition, it's impossible to do so.

  "Zhang Qian, Hua Zi! We're not much different in age, and don't be polite to me outside. I'm a veteran, to be honest, my starting point was completely different from yours. When I first became a civil servant, the organization sent me to Lizi Ping Town for several years, you guys didn't have that kind of experience, did you?"

  Zhang Qian and Wang Huahua looked at Zhang Qingyun with a hint of admiration in their eyes, after all, Zhang Qingyun's promotion was something they could resonate with. The image of Zhang Qingyun in their hearts was far superior to that of Wu Zhiqiang, who relied on connections to get ahead.

  Zhang Qingyun saw that his words had some effect, and immediately took advantage of the situation to say: "Now you are general staff members in the county committee, sometimes it's understandable if you're a bit idle. However, when it comes to work, you still need to take it seriously, and sometimes you also need to exert your subjective initiative, think more carefully, these leaders can see everything."

  "As long as you two behave well, I can recommend that you both be sent to the Youth Cadre Class ahead of time. After all, what our organization is currently lacking are cadres with strong business abilities."
