Chapter 533 Charity Lantern Festival (Part 1)
After get off work, Qin Mu rejected Xia Wan'er's suggestion to go with him and drove to meet Ji Zhigang. **《》*If you are taking a car with Xia Wan'er, let alone Xia Zhen's eyes, Qi Yun will have different thoughts when he sees it.
Ji Zhigang and his wife Xie Danyun were dressed up. Qin Mu sat in the driver's seat and smiled: "You couple, people who don't know think you are going to participate in what performance you are going to participate in."
Xie Danyun and Qin Mu were not familiar with each other, so they just smiled with their lips. Ji Zhigang smiled and said, "Brother Qin, hurry up and sit in the back. For you, I'll drive you up."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "You are more and more capable of speaking. Why, you are so worried when I drive?" Even though he said so, Qin Mu still opened the car door and walked down. Indeed, if he took the initiative to drive a businessman, he would not know what it would be like if it was spread.
Ji Zhigang drove, Xie Danyun was sitting in the passenger seat, and Qin Mu sat in the back of the car and closed his eyes to rest. The party started at 8 o'clock. Ji Zhigang first found a place to have dinner, and only arrived at the party venue at 7:30.
As soon as he entered, a wave of heat came to his face. Looking at the person sitting densely, there were not many empty seats except for the two rows of empty seats in the front row. Qin Mu smiled and said, "Everyone is very active."
Ji Zhigang also smiled and said to Qin Mu: "Brother Qin, your position is different from ours, so we will delay you."
Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "You go, go." After that, he looked at the tickets in his hand and turned out to be in the first row, which made Qin Mu feel a little embarrassed. Originally, he didn't know that so many ministerial officials would come, so he picked up one randomly from the old man. Now it seems that he, a small section chief, sat in the first row, not only not only conspicuous, but also criticized. The seating method of the position is very particular. You can't be on par with the ministerial officials, just like you, a small section chief.
Qin Mu thought about it and walked to the side to see if he could find someone to change his seat. When it was almost eight o'clock, all the side doors next to him opened, and leaders walked in with their heads raised their chests. Qin Mu kept sweeping his eyes inside, and he really saw a few acquaintances.
This time, he became more and more embarrassed. The levels of these acquaintances were similar. In addition to the deputy ministers of the Information Department, there were also finance and urban construction who had seen during the Chinese New Year. Qin Mu walked over at this time and was disgusting. He would offend people wherever he sent the ticket. He thought about it for a while, and had an idea in his mind. He found Ji Zhigang in a mess, stuffed the ticket into his hand, and said, "First row, go, I'll accompany my sister-in-law here."
This sentence made Ji Zhigang laugh and cry. This was not what the agency cadres should say. But Qin Mu glared at him and said, "This is a good opportunity. In the first row, sitting with ministerial officials is just the time for you to show your face."
Ji Zhigang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qin, are you stuffing me into the gun."
Qin Mu laughed and scolded, saying, "It's okay, I will save you if you die, what should you do if I die?"
Ji Zhigang grabbed the ticket and said hatefully: "Brother Qin, there is a saying I have wanted to tell you long ago. The biggest mistake I have done in my life is meeting you."
Qin Mu pushed Ji Zhigang's back: "Go away quickly, you don't have so many words of praise? I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Even if he didn't invite him, Ji Zhigang still had to rush forward. Before leaving, he told Qin Mu to help him watch out for Xie Danyun and never let someone get rid of him. This made Xie Danyun laugh. It can be seen that Ji Zhigang loves her so much.
When Ji Zhigang blocked the gun hole and sat in the only empty seat in the first row, Qin Mu heard someone beside him muttering, guessing how Ji Zhigang's identity was even more prominent than a ministerial official. Qin Mu showed a helpless smile at Xie Danyun, and Xie Danyun smiled and said, "Qin...Qin..." She really didn't know what to call Qin Mu.
"Call Xiao Qin, you are your sister-in-law, you should call me Xiao Qin. Zhigang and I have known each other for a few years, and we are used to calling each other, so we can't change it." Qin Mu said with a smile.
Xie Danyun smiled and called Xiao Qin, turned to Ji Zhigang, and whispered: "I can meet Zhigang, but I still have to thank you."
With elegant manners and moderate advances and retreats, Qin Mu couldn't believe that this was the daughter of a taxi driver. He waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, it's wrong to say that. It's your fate, and I dare not take this credit."
Xie Danyun also laughed and said, "Zhigang told me that he had something to do when he was."
Qin Mu nodded and was silent for a while and said, "Zhigang was spoiled by Secretary Ji, and the real gold should be burned on the fire. Sometimes, when looking at a person, you cannot look at the essence, but in your heart."
He shouldn't have said these words, but looking at Xie Danyun's happy appearance, he untied the only knot in her heart. Otherwise, if the couple got angry, they would have to find a vent for Ji Zhigang's original affairs, and Qin Mu would not take this responsibility.
With the cheerful chorus of "Singing the Motherland", the party kicked off. Qin Mu stopped talking and looked at the stage.
Qin Mu didn't have much impression of this evening party, so he enjoyed the songs and dances of the 1990s. At the end of the song, the host came on stage, first introduced the leaders from various departments, then thanked the support of the elites from all walks of life, and then announced the beginning of the evening party.
Qin Mu hugged his hands in front of his chest, and his attention began to turn to Ji Zhigang. He saw him sitting there a little uneasy, his body twisting around, as if there was grass under his butt. Qin Mu smiled and said to Xie Danyun: "Your Zhigang is really, such a good opportunity, why can't you sit still? When you go back, your sister-in-law wants to talk about him well, and her temperament is still so unstable."
Xie Danyun also laughed and said, "He just couldn't sit still. If he said he would sit like an official, he would probably be suffocated to death." After saying this, Xie Danyun yelled and said with a little red face: "Xiao Qin, I'm not talking about you."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'm not that scrupulous." Qin Mu shook his head and didn't say anything else.
The party is still of great value, at least in Qin Mu's eyes. The choice of songs is very representative, some are nostalgic for the past, some are praises of reform and opening up. For political purposes, the party was very successful.
After performing a few shows, all the businessmen present were looking forward to finally reveal their eyebrows and began to surface.
First, a dilapidated school building was shown on the large screen of the party's rear projection. The dirty children were all looking at the teacher attentively, while the teacher was writing words on the dilapidated blackboard. Then, the picture extended, recording the mountain roads each child passed by when he went to school, which were rugged and filled with water. Then, the reporter appeared on the screen with a microphone and began to tell the difficult lives of these children.
To Qin Mu's surprise, the image of a grassroots village chief appeared in the picture. He was covered in dust and had a little fatigue on his young face. It was not like this when he was acting, but about his own fatigue. His voice was a little hoarse, but Qin Mu knew how loud his voice was. Qin Mu knew this person, and it turned out to be Dou De.
Qin Mu slowly closed his eyes. It was a place to train people. Qin Mu listened to Dou De's words and sincerely felt sad for the children's learning conditions. Qin Mu didn't know what happened when Dou De went there, but his transformation still made Qin Mu a little happy. After all, it was his own brother. Qin Mu did not deny that there were other things in this interview, and let Dou De show his face, which allowed him to open up the situation there, but his original intention was very good.
The screen is frozen on the head of a boy with big buck teeth. From the perspective of people in big cities, this child is too ugly and too dirty, but it is precisely this kind of dirty and ugly that can shock people's hearts.
The host talked about the children's conditions in a affectionate tone, and then said in a grateful tone that the Beijing merchants donated charity to build schools and add materials to these children.
In Qin Mu's opinion, donating money at the party would feel like a show, but as long as the donated money can be implemented, Qin Mu is willing to participate in such show several more times.
Just when Qin Mu was stunned, the host began to announce the amount of money donated by each businessman according to the list and divided it into three or six categories. According to the name of the enterprise and individual, senior officials in the department were asked to issue charity certificates to it. This was the highlight of the businessmen's waiting. Not only did they leave an impression in the eyes of leaders, but they could also show their faces on TV. What an exciting thing and what a strategic move.
"Beijinghua Enterprises donated 10,000 yuan."
"Deguang Co., Ltd., donated 50,000 yuan."
"Master Li is a company and donated one hundred million yuan."
A series of enterprises were called out, ranging from 200,000 to 1 million. Every time a name was read, a representative would walk onto the stage, with a radiant face.
Qin Mu smiled. Since Ji Zhigang said that Wan Yan's bottom line should be at least five million, then it is not the time to appear. At that time, he will definitely give out a heavyweight minister to present the award.
The group showed their faces and left. There was a company here that made Qin Mu very puzzled. The Haiou Brothers, the leading Chinese home appliance company, donated only 200,000 yuan, which was extremely stingy. There must be something wrong here, and Qin Mu thought about it maliciously.
Immediately afterwards, there were singing, dancing and crosstalk performances, Qin Mu's interest rose and he smiled and waited for the subsequent development.
Sure enough, the entire donation activity was implemented throughout the party. Then came some small individual donations, including tens of thousands and tens of thousands, and each received a burst of warm applause. For the audience around, these entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals who paid for money were more shocking than enterprises.
At this time, the host announced with excitement: "Mr. Zhang Yuhai, Chairman of JAC Industrial, personally donated 2 million yuan!"
"Wow!" The whole venue exclaimed applause. Two million per person was a satirizing of the company that had just received the reward. Zhang Yuhai had no expression on his face and walked onto the stage very calmly.
Qin Mu suddenly laughed. It turned out that the bet with Zhang Yuhai some time ago was actually used by him at this time. This guy's head was spinning so fast. I'm afraid he had this idea when he saw Dou De.
His eyes narrowed and he looked at Ji Zhigang quietly. At this time, if Ji Zhigang had no expression, it would have really disappointed Qin Mu.
At this live party, the first time there was a situation where the director could not control it. Ji Zhigang, who was sitting in the first row, raised his hand high, which seemed even more out of place than the officials sitting around him.
The female host's eyes suddenly became straight.
