Chapter 873 Gift Giving (First update, please subscribe)
Although in the past few years, with the continuous popularity of cars, they have long been transformed from a status symbol for the rich into a means of transportation for ordinary people. Become a must for many families. However, Chang'an Metro still plays an extremely important role. The subway network extending in all directions still allows many people to choose the subway as their main mode of travel.
This is the case with Feng Dingkang. Although he has a high income as a military engineer, he does not like driving and usually chooses to commute by subway.
The carriage on Line 6 after eight o'clock in the evening was empty. Sitting in the carriage, Feng Dingkang was still thinking about the technical issues of the unmanned reconnaissance drone.
“To improve the clarity of TV cameras, only in this way can we conduct better real-time reconnaissance...”
At this moment, the subway was approaching the station and some passengers were getting on and off the subway. Suddenly someone shouted.
"Dingkang, Feng Dingkang, yes, it's really Feng Dingkang."
Looking up, Feng Dingkang saw an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years.
"Peqi! Zhao Peiqi! You, you are also in Nanyang? When did you come?"
The series of questions made Zhao Peiqi smile.
"I came here five years ago. I got on the ship from Guangzhou. I have been in Dongning before. I was just transferred to Chang'an last month."
"No wonder I didn't see you at the alumni meeting. There are people over there in Dongning. Our classmates."
"Yes, Lin Jie, Xu Zhiyang, Zhang Feihu..."
Feng Dingkang said excitedly after hearing a few familiar names.
"I must meet them if I have the opportunity in the future. It is not easy to meet old classmates in Nanyang. By the way, you..."
The happiest thing is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. Although now they all call Nanyang home. However, it is indeed a very happy thing to meet old friends here.
Looking at the old classmate's outfit, he looked like a typical clerk. Feng Dingkang asked.
"Where are you now?"
Zhao Peiqi replied.
“At the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, I have just visited several companies.”
"Ah, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, that's really good!"
This is not a compliment. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry is known as the industrial brain of Nanyang and the secret of Nanyang's economic rise.
Anyone who can serve in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry is definitely an elite.
"What about you? I remember that you have been a graduate student in Nanyang for thirty-six years. Where are you currently employed?"
"Engaging in technical research in the laboratory..."
"Oh, that's the engineer, that's great!"
The rumbling sound of the subway temporarily interrupted their conversation, but the two of them were in high spirits and waited until the tram slowed down and was about to enter the station. , Feng Dingkang took the initiative to invite his old classmates to a hotel for a get-together.
When old classmates meet in a foreign land, of course they have to have two drinks. They talk about the past and their life in Nanyang these years, and they seem very excited. It wasn't until they both drank too much and agreed on a time to meet next time that they said goodbye.
When she was almost home, Zhao Peiqi was already sober.
I raised my hand and looked at my watch under the street lamp. It was already half past midnight. Unlike company employees who cannot work overtime until eight o'clock at night, for employees of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, working hours are another matter.
For Zhao Peiqi, he usually goes home at this time. It is rare to get off work after eight o'clock like today. Because he is visiting a company, he naturally goes home after the company gets off work.
When I got home, it was already dead of night, except for the occasional sound of televisions and radios, voices and dishes being washed from the rows of houses. Although the night is already deep, people have not fallen asleep yet and are enjoying family happiness there.
Although she was a little drunk, Zhao Peiqi was still thinking about the work of the ministry, and the conversations in the room of the Heavy Industry Bureau echoed in her ears.
What issues are this group of people discussing now?
The Heavy Industry Bureau is the most powerful bureau among the business bureaus of the headquarters. The business he manages ranges from steel, ships, aircraft, automobiles to cameras, radios and other mechanical equipment.
Even everything from bicycle production to bicycle racing has to be managed. It is definitely a huge bureau.
Now the Heavy Industry Bureau is going all out to solve the problem of stabilizing steel prices.
Currently, due to excessive competition, steel companies around the world are continuously conducting dumping and price cuts. The prices of some varieties have even dropped to one-half of the previous highest price. Steel is the food of the industry, and unstable prices will inevitably lead to chaos in the entire industry. We must find ways to stabilize the market. Of course, relying solely on Nanyang cannot stabilize steel prices. The current fluctuations in steel prices are affected by international steel prices. But price stabilization measures must be implemented. Policy debates such as what direction to develop in the future, what policies to adopt, what goals to set, etc. will gradually become more and more intense.
Policy cannot be perfect no matter how hard you work, and there is no policy that satisfies everyone. One kind of discussion will inevitably arouse another kind of discussion. Some people will be satisfied and some will be dissatisfied. This is also inevitable.
The Heavy Industry Bureau must still be discussing this matter!
When thinking of this incident, Zhao Peiqi, who was staying out of the policy debate, felt very uncomfortable, and even felt like being left out. As a business officer, it is undoubtedly dangerous to be outside of decision-making.
Zhao Peiqi’s home is in a civil servant apartment - many new civil servants live in such apartments. In fact, the environment is not much better than ordinary apartments. The only advantage is that there is no need to wait to check in. Basically On the first day of taking office, you will be assigned a room and receive the key, which is just such a convenience.
His residence is on the third floor of a four-story building without an elevator, with an area of more than 170 square meters. Of course, this does not include the balcony of more than 20 square meters. This may The biggest difference between civil servant apartments and ordinary apartments is that the area is large enough.
They can live here as long as they want. But like everyone else. Zhao Peiqi has already applied for public housing. After all, no one wants to live in an apartment if there is a single-family house.
In recent years, due to the sharp decrease in immigration, the construction of public housing has also slowed down, which has even dragged down the economy of Nanyang. Although there is no ordinary real estate industry in Nanyang, it does not mean that there is no real estate industry in the economy.
So, for now, he can only continue to wait in line.
As soon as he opened the door, his wife Zhang Yunqing said with an excited expression:
“You are back, it’s great, the chief’s wife...”
The wife’s words made Zhao Peiqi He was stunned and asked at the door in surprise:
"What happened to her?"
"No, it's the chief's wife who is here."
"Coming? Here?"
"Yes Yeah, it was probably around three o'clock. I said I had something to do around here and stopped by. I was shocked and didn't know what to say..."
This was also expected of Zhao Peiqi. What is unexpected is that after all, he is just the affairs officer of the ministry. There are deputy directors and directors above him, and he is still far from the chief.
"What is she here for?".
"I said you were transferred from Dongning to Chang'an. You can come home to say hello."
Zhang Yunqing even looked at herself when she said these words. husband. He actually managed to get the chief’s wife to visit him and say hello!
It’s just incredible!
But the chief’s wife.
A real big shot, the kind who can be in the newspapers!
Zhao Peiqi ignored his wife's surprise at all. In fact, he himself was extremely surprised.
"Greetings? Come to our home?"
When did the chief's wife need to greet him, an ordinary affairs officer?
To say greetings, they should also visit at your door. But... do they have this qualification?
"Well, she said that the chief is a very good person, but he is too harsh in words, loves to boss people around, and loves to scold people. She said that when you come to the ministry, please be more patient."
The wife's words, Zhao Peiqi felt a little emotional that the chief's wife would actually come to visit him. He had heard of this kind of thing before, but he didn't expect that even he, the affairs officer who had just been transferred from Dongning, would be paid a special visit by his wife.
"She said that your transfer order was personally issued by the commander-in-chief. He thinks that you have done an outstanding job in Dongning. He is very happy. If there is a chance, he will invite you to his home to drink together... But because of the department's There are too many things going on here, and we rarely have time to drink and chat together, so I invited you to drink some at home as a token of my appreciation, so I brought some, a bottle of Fenjiu, which is imported from Tangshan, plus A fruit basket is still placed by the door. "
According to the wife, after saying this, the chief's wife briefly chatted and left.
“It’s hard to handle!”
Looking at the gifts beside the door, Zhao Peiqi said with her head in her hands.
Zhang Yunqing also echoed:
"I also feel that it is difficult to handle. How can a general manager give gifts to his subordinates."
This is an unexpected thing. From ancient times to the present, no boss gives gifts to his subordinates.
"It's not the reason, I know, this is...this is..."
He was captivated by the chief's initiative to send his wife to his subordinate's home to greet him.
Looking at the fruit basket sent by his wife and the bottle of Fenjiu produced in his hometown in Shanxi, Zhao Peiqi thought to herself.
Now all we can do is work hard! Otherwise, how can we live up to the kindness of the commander-in-chief?
