Chapter 293 The So-called Support
"Xiao Wang, you are really good."
"Well, don't talk about one or two dollars. I'll give you ninety. The rest is the reward for doing my job for me."
"From now on, just follow me and I will definitely not let you down!"
Li Huaide said generously.
Some people may ask why Li Huaide didn't try to bypass Wang Hongtao and send someone else to contact the so-called "old Chinese doctor"
In fact, it is easy to understand. First of all, it is not honorable to pry into other people's paths. It is difficult for Li Huaide to open his mouth.
Secondly, if Wang Hongtao would do something, such as taking kickbacks and asking for favors, other people would do the same. So why bother doing it? At least Wang Hongtao and I have a life-long friendship, so he is more trustworthy.
There is also a problem with the old Chinese medicine practitioners. For a group like them who are both capable and shady, the thing they hate most is having strangers suddenly come to their door.
If we end up making things worse and scare the old Chinese doctor away, then there will be no fun.
Finally, people who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. If you don’t give any benefits to others when they do things for you, then who will do things for you in the future?
"Thank you, Director Li! How pleasant it is to work with you?"
……
Wang Hongtao then offered another wave of flattery.
Li Huaide waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, there's no one else here, so there's no need to be polite."
"What? What else do you want?"
Li Huaide saw that Wang Hongtao was hesitant to speak and asked.
"This is what I think. Medicine is poisonous. Your father-in-law is not young anymore. He can't be as unrestrained as a young man, right?"
Wang Hongtao said seriously that he was not afraid of anything else but something going wrong after giving the medicine away. If something went wrong with someone of Mr. She's level because of his medicine, it would be no joke.
"Also, I want to tell you again, Director Li, that an old Chinese doctor told me that people with cardiovascular disease should not take it, otherwise..."
Li Huaide smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, I care about this more than you do, nothing will go wrong!"
"That's good, that's good. I'm also afraid that good intentions may lead to bad results." Wang Hongtao patted his chest and said nervously.
……
Coming out of Director Li's office, Wang Hongtao found not only 1,800 yuan in his clothes, but also a small bag of tea, which was estimated to be less than half an ounce. Li Huaide said that this was the authentic Imperial Longjing tea, which his father-in-law asked him to pass on.
There are currently only 18 tea trees left of Yuqian Longjing, and the annual output is only a few taels. Although Wang Hongtao only has half a tael in his hand, it will still be a big deal if he takes it out.
Of course, such a good thing must be kept for himself, and he has no one to please.
In his previous life, Wang Hongtao once spent 600 yuan to buy two kilograms of West Lake Longjing tea. Qingqing, who sold tea, told him that West Lake Longjing had a unique taste, with a hint of bean and millet aroma, and a mellow fragrance in its sweetness, which was most intoxicating.
But after he tried buying it, he felt it was just so-so, not much different from the usual ones that cost a few dollars per pound.
He wanted to try out how big the difference was between Yuzen Longjing and ordinary Longjing.
After returning to the office, Wang Hongtao washed the teacup, poured a kettle of freshly boiled hot water, and closed the office door.
You have to be careful. You shouldn't show off your wealth, especially such a precious treasure.
……
After everything was ready, Wang Hongtao carefully picked up a dozen tea leaves, brewed them and took a sip.
Eight words: "Green color, rich fragrance, sweet taste, beautiful shape"
They are completely different species from what Qingqing sold to her.
At this point, Wang Hongtao couldn't help but sigh, after all, it was from the emperor, and there was indeed a big difference compared to ordinary products.
In the office, Wang Hongtao sipped his tea and looked through the approval form sent by the dispatcher.
This dispatcher named Fang Shaocheng was quite capable and arranged the work in an orderly manner, so Wang Hongtao was naturally happy and relaxed.
Actually, he is somewhat similar to Zhang Cheng. They have abilities but problems with their attitude. The difference is that Zhang Cheng is too old-fashioned, while Fang Shaocheng is too smooth.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Just as I was thinking about it, Zhang Cheng came over.
"Brother Wang, Director Li asked me to tell you not to leave right after get off work. The factory is hosting a dinner and wants you to come along."
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, you go back first. I'll come over after you finish drinking this glass of water."
……
"Director Li, you're looking for me." Wang Hongtao greeted respectfully.
"Haha, Xiao Wang, you're here just in time. Some of my friends are coming over soon. You can come with me to keep them company."
"Can you drink?"
Li Huaide's face was flushed and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Wang Hongtao frowned and said in embarrassment: "Drinking is fine, but the people who came are your friends, Director Li. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, a driver, to join in?"
"Hey^_^, since I've told you, it must be appropriate." Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand.
"Speaking of which, you have seen those guests, Director Zhang from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Director Xu from the Grain Station, and the directors of the Meat Processing Plant and the Textile Factory. I wonder if you still remember them."
Wang Hongtao suddenly understood: "You are talking about the small private room last time, when you asked me to deliver medicine..."
"Yep!"
Li Huaide tapped his knuckles on the table and nodded with satisfaction: "After trying this medicine last time, they have been talking about this."
"I called them when I got the medicine just now. As soon as they heard the medicine had arrived, they were all excited and said they would come over immediately. So I just organized a group and had a simple meal together."
"They are not ordinary people. It won't hurt to get to know them."
Wang Hongtao nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Director Li. Please watch my performance later. I will definitely not embarrass you!"
Li Huaide patted Wang Hongtao on the shoulder: "Good boy."
"I've called Xu Damao from the Propaganda Department to come along. Although this guy can't drink much, he's good at livening up the atmosphere. He'll go first and toast to give us a good base before we go up."
Wang Hongtao almost laughed out loud after hearing this: So this is the role Xu Damao plays as a drinking companion? To liven up the atmosphere? To serve as a vanguard?
Isn't this just cannon fodder?
How dare he brag that he is always present at every banquet.
At the end, Li Huaide reminded again: "My friends are not only of high rank, but also powerful. There is no harm in making good friends with them."
"I understand, Director Li. This is your support for me. I understand."
Lu Xun once said: How to tell whether your leader really wants to promote you depends on whether he is willing to bring you into his circle and introduce you to his network and circle. He wants to bring you from your original circle to a larger circle, increase your knowledge, and make it easier for you to be independent in the future.
After a little thought, Wang Hongtao realized that Li Huaide really wanted to promote him. The supply and marketing cooperative, grain station, textile factory, and meat processing plant were all the most substantial units at the time and were among the best at the same level.
"Okay, I won't say anything else. Just behave yourself at the table later."
"Make sure to make the leader happy and drink happily!"
Wang Hongtao: "Hey! I promise to complete the task!"
......
As soon as I came out of Li Huaide's office, I saw Xu Damao running downstairs in a hurry.
"Xu Damao, where are you going?" Wang Hongtao asked loudly.
"Go home and cook. I have to drink with the boss today. I definitely can't escape it. I have to go home and cook first. I can't let Ezi go hungry!
