The canteen of the large working committee is not in the Science and Technology Building, but in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next door. If you want to eat, you need to take the elevator downstairs and then walk a few minutes to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Bai Yuquan explained to Lin Zhiyuan as he walked, "Who told us that we are a newly established unit! The conditions are indeed not as good as those of the old ministries and commissions, and we have no base, but the food is pretty good. Secretary Wu specially called the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and offered us a separate A small canteen was established.”

Along the way, I met many colleagues from large-scale working committees, and Bai Yuquan greeted them familiarly.

These people looked at Lin Zhiyuan curiously, and a few familiar people stepped forward and said hello, "Are you Assistant Lin? Assistant Lin looks so young!"

Several young female colleagues looked at Lin Zhiyuan and blushed secretly.

Bai Yuquan joked: "Zhiyuan, it's okay. Your charm is still the same as before. Look at those young girls who are secretly looking at you."

Lin Zhiyuan looked straight, "Be serious, he doesn't look like a leading cadre at all."

After walking for seven or eight minutes, Bai Yuquan led Lin Zhiyuan into the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is not large, only about three to four hundred square meters, but there are not many people eating there.

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the dining table. The food was indeed good. There were five or six staple foods, including white rice, bean rice, rolls, corn tortillas, boiled noodles, and a bucket of steaming porridge.

There are even more types of dishes, seven or eight kinds of hot dishes, five or six kinds of cold dishes, as well as two kinds of fruits, yogurt and drinks.

Lin Zhiyuan took the dinner plate, filled it with a bowl of water-soaked noodles, mixed it with some sauce, took another cornmeal pancake, filled it with a few side dishes, and took a box of yogurt.

While Lin Zhiyuan was getting his meal, many employees of large-scale working committees were looking at him.

"Is this the new assistant director? He's so young!"

"You're so handsome. I wonder if you're married?"

"Why are you so crazy? Have you ever seen any department-level leader who is unmarried?"

Bai Yuquan pulled him and motioned him to go inside with his eyes.

Inside is a smaller canteen, where all the people eating here are cadres at the deputy department level or above. This is similar to Le Gang, and I don't know if it is the rule set by Li Zhenshan.

When Lin Zhiyuan came in, there were already about ten people eating in the small canteen. These are the principals and deputies from various departments that I met during the morning meeting.

"Assistant Lin, how about you try our food?"

"Assistant Lin, Director Bai, there is a place over here."

Everyone greeted him one after another.

Lin Zhiyuan asked around and then sat down with the dinner plate.

Quietness returned to the small canteen. Everyone was eating with their heads down. No one spoke. This made Lin Zhiyuan very uncomfortable. In the past, when he was at Legang, the canteen and the hustle and bustle were almost synonymous. The worker masters always liked to eat in the canteen. Chatting while eating. But here, that situation no longer existed. Apart from the sound of chewing food, Lin Zhiyuan could hardly hear anything else.

This gave Lin Zhiyuan a brief illusion that this was not a canteen but an examination room.

Affected by the environment, Lin Zhiyuan was cautious when eating, which made him very unhappy. The bowl of noodles that should have shaken the water turned into rice noodles that were hot to the mouth.

Bai Yuquan glanced at him, smiled, and whispered, "Just get used to it."

About two or three minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the canteen.

The two deputy directors, Lu Chao and Chi Qingsheng, walked in empty-handed, followed by their respective secretaries, who were holding dinner plates.

Judging from appearance, Lu Chao and Chi Qingsheng are exactly the opposite extremes. Lu Chao is a typical white-faced scholar, wearing a dark blue suit and a meticulous tie. He looks very elegant, while Chi Qingsheng Wearing a black executive jacket, although he is of average height, his big black face is calm and intimidating, making him intimidating.

I saw the secretaries behind the two deputy directors serving their respective leaders. Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of his days at Le Gang. Ever since he became the director of the galvanized sheet factory, he had never made lunch with his own hands. Xue Zhaokuan had to bring it to him.

Now that I have entered Beijing, everything has to start from scratch.

As soon as the two deputy directors appeared, there was another brief commotion in the canteen, and everyone stood up to greet the two deputy directors.

"Don't be so polite, I'll eat what you have."

Lu Chao scanned the crowd and spotted Lin Zhiyuan. His eyes lit up immediately. He motioned to his secretary to bring the dinner plate to Lin Zhiyuan, and then sat down next to him.

"Assistant Lin, sit down and let's talk." Lu Chao wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked very elegant.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't know what Deputy Director Lu meant, but fortunately Lu Chao quickly revealed the answer.

He smiled at Lin Zhiyuan, a somewhat mysterious smile, "Assistant Lin, although this is our first meeting, I have heard of your name a long time ago."

Lin Zhiyuan was a little confused.

"I'm not just saying polite words. It's a famous name I've admired for a long time. My teacher is Li Xiaoning. Do you understand this time?"

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly realized. Lu Chao is a cadre from the Ministry of Finance. He should be majoring in accounting, auditing and finance. It is not surprising that he is a student of Li Xiaoning. Li Xiaoning must have mentioned himself.

"It turns out that Deputy Director Lu is Professor Li's student, let me tell you!"

"Haha, during the school's anniversary in the first half of this year, I went back and met the teacher. The teacher specifically mentioned your name to us, Assistant Lin. It's embarrassing to say that we who study economics and finance can't compare to you who play steel. ”

The two of them had a lively chat.

At this time, Li Zhenshan walked in accompanied by Zhou Lang.

Everyone in the canteen stood up.

"Hello, Director!" the voices kept coming and going.

Li Zhenshan nodded casually and walked straight to the opposite side of Lin Zhiyuan. Bai Yuquan hurriedly picked up the dinner plate and made way for her, and Li Zhenshan sat down without hesitation.

"How was it? Is the lunch delicious?"

"It's very good, there are many varieties, and the nutrition is balanced."

Li Zhenshan knew that what he said was against his will. When he was first transferred from Le Gang to Yanjing, he ate in the cafeteria of a large government agency, and it took him a long time to get used to it.

Li Zhenshan looked at Lu Chao again, "What? Lao Lu, do you know Zhiyuan?"

"It can be described in one sentence. Although we have never met, we have been friends for a long time." Lu Chao said something literate, and then told the origin of the two.

Li Zhenshan also smiled, "Lao Lu, you don't know that Zhiyuan was almost punished for this matter. Secretary Wu didn't want to let him go at that time, but this kid was quite smart and came up with a three-party joint venture. Only then did we escape..."

Li Zhenshan seemed to be in a good mood today. He talked about the scene at the meeting that day on the spot. Only then did the people eating next to him understand why Secretary Wu was optimistic about Lin Zhiyuan and transferred him to Yanjing. It turned out that he was based here.

Lu Chao sighed after hearing this, "It's not easy for Assistant Lin to stick to his own ideas under such great pressure!"

Lin Zhiyuan said modestly, "I was young and vigorous at the time. If it were now, I wouldn't be able to do this even if I were killed."
