Speaking of gift giving, and it is a gift giving without a "famous name", it is the first time for Chang Ning and Ding Guoming.

If treating guests is a basic course within the system, and it is essential to cover everything and is indispensable, then giving gifts is an advanced course, with endless mysteries and many qualities.

Specifically speaking, when it comes to the subordinates giving gifts to the seniors, Youjia, who has been a child, has been a professional family, has been a public service type, has been an urgent matter, has been a progressive type, has etiquette type, has a refugee type, investment type, etc., etc.

She called Chang Ning's gift giving style, or called the type of throwing stones and asking for directions, or the type of looking for a draw. At that time, Chang Ning was depressed for a long time, and he pressed Youjia on the sofa and "do it" hard.

Ding Guoming had been Zhu Yongjun's secret, so it was perfect for him to visit him, but this kid was a little poor and had a short ambition, and he suffered from face and was reluctant to go there empty-handedly. He bought gifts but had no money, so he forced Chang Ning to accompany him.

If Chang Ning had a man alone, with his temper and background, he would not have to buy such valuable masterpieces. This was still familiar to Youjia and the person in charge of the Academy of Painting. He bought it at a 20% discount. He bought a total of three, and the other two were prepared to be given to Wang Guowei and Shan Yunfei.

On the off-road vehicle, Ding Guoming opened the landscape painting and looked at it for a while. He said very "insider" that Xiao Chang has made you spend money again. This is the original work of a famous artist, at least several thousand yuan.

Chang Ning responded ummill and smiled bitterly. The masterpiece of Ye Taoyu, the largest painter in Zhijiang Province, suddenly dropped by more than ten times in the eyes of this local bun. If he heard this, he would be so angry that he vomited blood. You must know that even if Mr. Ye closed his eyes and drew a few strokes, he could sell 8,000 yuan in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

He did not dare to say explicitly that the gift was given in the name of the two. Of course, he did not expect Ding Guoming to pay him half of the money, but was afraid that he would lose his eyes for several days and nights after he knew it.

Zhu Yongjun became the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization and naturally lived in the Standing Committee Building. Although it was dusk, he could occasionally meet a few people walking. The painting called "Zhijiang Chunjing" was cleverly sandwiched in a windbreaker by Chang Ning to avoid arousing others' curiosity.

The one who opened the door was Zhu Yongjun's wife Zhou Hongna. She looked quite young. I heard that she was a writer and a director of the National Writers Association. She is now a part-time professor at Hucheng University. When Zhu Yongjun worked in Qingzhou, she often visited relatives from time to time, so she had seen Ding Guoming, who was a secret.

As soon as Ding Guoming met, he kept calling his aunt. Chang Ning had to stay aside and smiled foolishly. Look at him so young, he shouted, but he might not like him.

Zhou Hongna looked at Chang Ning and said with a smile: "I heard from Lao Zhu that this must be the famous Iron Mouth God's Score Immortal."

Chang Ning smiled embarrassedly and said respectfully, "Hello, Auntie, I am Chang Ning, the old subordinate of Minister Zhu."

Zhou Hongna nodded with a smile, shook hands with the two of them, closed the yard door, grabbed the arm with one hand, and said openly: "Come in, come in, come in, Lao Zhu will wait for you for a while."

After the chirping and greetings, Zhou Hongna retreated to Zhu Yongjun after giving Chang Ning and Ding Guoming a cup of tea each.

The landscape painting of "Zhijiang Chunjing" was stuffed into Ding Guoming's hands before Chang Ning entered the door, and is now being admired by Zhu Yongjun, Zhou Hongna and his wife.

I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and Zhu Yongjun has never seen him grow old at all. It seems that the scratches of time cannot be engraved with his face, but his figure is much plump than when he was in Qingzhou, and there seems to be some signs of gaining weight.

Zhu Yongjun handed the scroll to Zhou Hongna and asked with a smile: "Guoming, did you give it to me? Why did you learn this trick? What did we say when we broke up? Have you forgotten?"

Ding Guoming smiled shyly, showing his embarrassment. Fortunately, he had Chang Ning as a shield, which was also what the two of them had already discussed.

"Zhu Ji, this is Xiao Chang's idea. I said we will give you a few bottles of Qingzhou Daqu that Zhu Ji loves to drink, but he said it was too cold and ran to the street alone to buy a painting worth several thousand yuan."

How many thousand yuan? Zhu Yongjun and Zhou Hongna looked at each other. Both of them were people who knew the goods. Ye Taoyu's paintings were sold for tens of thousands of yuan in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Like this "Zhijiang Chunjing", even in China, it is worth at least 30,000 yuan.

Zhou Hongna was about to speak, but Zhu Yongjun stopped him with a look. This was because the little Banxian was afraid of increasing the psychological burden on Ding Guoming and deliberately said the price was very low. Of course, Zhu Yongjun didn't want to point it out.

"I said, this must be the idea of ​​a little immortal. I'm a rich man, and I've spent a lot of money. I haven't seen the second one in Zhijiang Province yet."

Zhu Yongjun smiled and said slowly, Chang Ning laughed and said to Ding Guoming:

"Brother Guoming, what am I talking about? The old leader doesn't know us anymore. Are we just looking for a slap in a bad way?"

Zhu Yongjun smiled without saying a word, helped put away the painting and handed it to Zhou Hongna, then waved his hand and said readily:

"Hongna, put it away, remember it. In the future, no matter what he sends, we will accept whatever comes, and we will never be polite to him."

Zhu Yongjun also figured it out. With the background of Xiao Banxian, he didn't need to visit him. The relationship between the past was actually quite shallow or deep, and it was not as good as giving such a tribute.

But Xiao Banxian is just for the honest man Ding Guoming. When he reaches Ding Guoming's level, it is entirely right to pay a visit to the mountain and find a backer. After all, it is his old subordinate.

Of course, Xiao Banxian was cunning and tricky. He took advantage of the opportunity to accompany Ding Guoming to visit the old leader and attributed himself to Zhu Yongjun's "subject". He not only helped his friends, but also killed two birds with one stone for himself.

In Zhijiang Province, Zhu Yongjun is definitely an alternative. He has no intersection with the forces of all parties in the province. In recent years, except for some contact with Chen Situ, the former provincial party committee reporter, he has maintained a certain distance from others.

As a person from the Red Wall, Zhu Yongjun was included in the list of reserve cadres of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee before he came to Zhijiang Province, so his identity was transcendent and independent.

When he was a prefectural committee member in Qingzhou, Zhu Yongjun was in a stable manner. When he arrived in Ningzhou, he still had his usual work style. In Wang Guowei's words, this was the smart Zhu Yongjun who was wise to survive the necessary steps.

Ningzhou City is an important industrial center in Zhijiang Province. The Municipal Party Committee Secretary is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. However, Wang Guowei and Shan Yunfei said that the person who speaks the least at each time in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee must be Zhu Yongjun.

Zhu Yongjun handed Chang Ning and Ding Guoming a cigarette each, and insisted on igniteing the fire for the two of them himself, which made them embarrassed and half-swerved and accepted Zhu Yongjun's service.

"Guo Ming has been moving forward steadily as always. Xiao Chang takes the lead and makes rapid progress. Qingzhou has successors."

Ding Guoming smiled in panic and said uneasy: "Zhu Ji, we are far from doing enough. I feel ashamed. Now the leapfrog development of several of our counties is just starting, and I will be troubled by you in the future."

"Of course, I have no money here, and there are still many talents to ensure that the supply is open."

Zhu Yongjun seemed much more generous than before, which could be guessed from his tone and volume of speech. Chang Ning thought to himself, maybe before Chen Situo left, he regarded Zhu Yongjun as his future agent.

When he was in the capital, the old man said that Zhu Yongjun and he were in line with each other and would never put all his wealth on any side. No one could cooperate with him, but no one would think about working with him forever.

"Xiao Chang, you have a good time and the direction is right. Qingyang Wanghai Longmen County has a great future to develop together."

Chang Ning felt aroused when he heard this. He was worthy of being a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He had a far-sighted vision and grasped the core of the problem. In fact, this was also his real purpose in visiting Zhu Yongjun tonight, winning Zhu Yongjun's support for the development of the three counties and the future.

"Zhu Ji, our idea is still very rough. When will I ask Brother Guoming to bring it over? Please check it again."

Chang Ning created a plan to integrate three counties and upgrade it to a prefecture-level city, but he did not take it out publicly, but it was circulated in private. Unexpectedly, the provincial party committee leaders also heard about it.

"Well, okay, I can help you see, but I declare in advance that I only represent myself."

Chang Ning's heart was moved again. Zhu Yongjun's answer was so straightforward, which not only showed his personal support, but also the mainstream tendency of the provincial party committee. With Zhu Yongjun's always cautious and cautious personality, he would never show his attitude before things became clear.

Ding Guoming said excitedly: "Zhu Ji, with your support, we will be more confident."

Zhu Yongjun waved his hand and smiled calmly, "The historical trend is vast and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. We all just meet the same situation."

Chang Ning felt a stern when he heard this. Zhu Yongjun's words must have pointed, so he couldn't help but tentatively:

"Zhu Ji, Governor Wang criticized our Qingzhou area at the provincial economic work conference. Everyone was a little aggrieved in private and said that Governor Wang did not see our achievements."

Zhu Yongjun smiled slightly, understood what Chang Ning wanted to know, and said after pondering for a moment:

"It's Wang Ji, not Governor Wang, haha, why didn't I hear Wang Ji completely deny the work in Qingzhou? He told me a few days ago, Comrade Yongjun, Sun Huayang from Qingyang is doing a good job, your Organization Department should pay more attention."

Apart from Zhou Hongna, the three men in the living room would smile heartily. Sun Huayang was Wang Qunji's confidant, so he could praise who else he could.

"Xiao Chang did a pretty job, Sun Huayang is your Qingyang's barometer."

Zhu Yongjun paused, looked at Chang Ning, suddenly raised his face and said:
Chapter completed!
