Official Way: Starting from Township Civil Servants

After rinsing the bird's nest, the waiter behind him immediately took away the jade bowl. At this time, the female manager also asked at the right time: "Boss, I don't know if you want to order a la carte or just follow the standard?"

"If we go by the standards, what are the standards?" Wang Yi asked proactively. After all, he was sitting in the main seat, and he made it clear before going out that he would treat the meal tonight.

Given the choice between Wang Yi's treat or him not coming, these cadres in the general office chose the former.

"The standard ones are a little more expensive, but they are all specialties, and they are specialties from all over the world. There are three standards, one for 1888, one for 2888, and one for 5888." The female manager explained in detail, but this standard is very important for It is indeed not low for ordinary people.

Wang Yi was not a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He could tell at a glance that what people were talking about was the standard of a person, not the standard of a table.

However, the female manager had obviously received the signal from the eyes of a certain division chief. She did not say that this was a person's standard, and she did not care how Wang Yi understood it.

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't speak for a long time, the deputy director in charge of logistics and other departments said: "Today is a private treat for our leaders. If there is anything more affordable, you can arrange it for us as a working meal."

After getting the signal, the female manager immediately understood and was ready to speak.

But this time Wang Yi took the lead and said: "Then press 1888. Although it is a bit expensive, fortunately it is still acceptable. It is my first time to have a private meal with all my colleagues. Don't have a work meal. It still needs to be a bit unique. . It’s just a higher-end one. After all, my wife is in charge of the finances at home. If it exceeds the standard, it won’t be easy to explain when I get back!”

"Hahahaha, the director is such a model husband!"

"Our director's wife is a great scientist. I think this is a model for running a household. The one in my family just thinks about what bags to buy all day long, and she even said a few words that I have changed my mind..."

As soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, there was a chorus of compliments.

I have to say that these cadres in the general office are really nice to talk to. Every word they say to me makes the atmosphere immediately lively.

"Okay, leaders, please wait a moment, the cold dishes will be here soon." The female manager also took advantage of the situation and said.

"By the way, I know there is a small alley next to here. There is a small workshop selling home-made wine. The taste is not bad. How about I buy a few kilograms. The director doesn't treat us as outsiders, so let's just drink some home-made wine. No need to do anything. Those fancy wine packages." General Affairs Director Fan Tongshu suddenly stood up and suggested.

Wang Yi discovered that people at this level are really human beings. Everyone said so, what else could he do? Of course, he agreed and took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket.

"Then please trouble Director Fan. Let's drink some wine from the small workshop today." Wang Yi handed over the money, and Director Fan accepted it happily. It was really a private banquet, and Director Wang paid for it out of his own pocket.

Director Fan came back less than three minutes after leaving, carrying a white plastic bucket in his hand. It was really the kind of pot used to hold wine and oil in small workshops in rural towns.

Then Director Fan refunded 10 yuan to Wang Yi.

"It's eighteen yuan per catty. I bought five catties. If it's not enough, I'll buy it later." Director Fan even quoted the price of one catty, which is really the market price.

Director Fan handed the jug to the waiter, and soon the mellow aroma of soybean sauce spread out. Wang Yi also drank homemade wine from a small workshop, and often drank good wine. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that this was eighteen yuan. One pound is obviously 980 yuan per pound.

"Don't tell me that the wine in this small workshop is quite authentic. I can smell the aroma of soy sauce. It is definitely not blended with alcohol." The waiter was still pouring wine for the leaders with a wine divider, and another director was busy enlivening the atmosphere. They talk to each other and there will never be any silence.

Wang Yi was as clear as a mirror, but he pretended not to know. Since he was invited to have dinner with these people, he had no intention of causing trouble. Besides, for a cadre at this level, he couldn't really go to a street fly restaurant, right?

Even before the wine has been poured, the cold dishes have begun to arrive one after another. Naturally, they are full of color, flavor and flavor, and they all use rare ingredients.

Wang Yi saw it in his eyes, and to be fair, the standard of 1888 for one person was not outrageous. Of course, Wang Yi didn't know whether this club really met the 1888 standard.

According to the process, these rare delicacies usually explain what kind of rare ingredients they are made from, but the female manager did not explain it to Wang Yi today. Instead, each dish has a poetic or down-to-earth name.

Even if something immediately recognizable like ginseng appears, the female manager will explain that it is artificially grown, but looks similar, and is actually very cheap and weighed by the pound.

The subordinates at the dinner table also made a tacit understanding not to discuss the food on the table. After all, they were all people in the system, and their levels were not low, so naturally they talked about things related to the system.

But no one talked about major policies, but they all talked about various anecdotes. The atmosphere of the whole dinner was relaxed and not overstepping the bounds.

In fact, the dinner party at this level is the most informative, because the powerful deputy department heads like Wang Yi and the heads of various departments with real power in the general office happen to be in a neither superior nor inferior position.

They are still a little far away from the top and cannot touch the core of the country. They cannot be like the big bosses in the center. Every word and every sentence is carefully considered. Even if they eat and drink, they only taste it lightly and speak only to the point.

They are not grassroots cadres below. They can barely be considered prominent figures in a province or region. They cannot tell down-to-earth jokes like grassroots cadres. This standard is actually quite difficult to grasp.

But those who can get to this level are just childish. Wang Yi feels very relaxed anyway. If he hadn't been so clear-headed during the meal, he would probably be dizzy with praise, but you still can't feel deliberate.

Of course, this meal is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It just allows Wang Yi to get to know these people. Whether they are two deputy directors or several division chiefs, they all clearly stated that they will fully support their work in the future. Wang Yi.

In fact, Jiangzhou, like Beijing, is a very large circle, not only in politics and business, but also in the literary and art circles.

Now Wang Yi and Xiao Yuanshan are also important forces in this large circle. Their arrival has changed the original political structure of Jiangzhou. These cadres from the general office are the first batch to join.

As for truly controlling Jiangzhou, the Municipal Party Committee Office is just a starting point. There are many remaining departments, including the business and literary circles. Whether these can listen to Xiao Yuanshan, or just not go against Xiao Yuanshan, is the real issue. test.

But let’s not talk about the rest of the story. Today’s meal was a success. In the end, Wang Yi took the initiative to ask the female manager to pay for the meal. This made Wang Yi realize that the boss behind Jiangzhou Guild Hall was a good person.

"Boss, you guys are in luck today. Look at the bill, your table happens to be the 3333rd table in our store. According to the rules set by the boss, if there are three people with the same number, you will get a % discount and four people will get a % discount. You are free. Bring drinks, the discount is exactly one hundred and eighty-eight." The female manager handed a bill to Wang Yi and pointed to the number on it.

Wang Yi saw that it was really a number like 3333. He didn't know if it was true, but he thought it was more likely to be done deliberately.

Because the number 3 has a very special meaning to people in the system, because the homophone of 3 is sharp.
