Chapter 43: The Factory Director (8)

  Duan Yuzhen was very angry.

  She had happily prepared a sumptuous meal, looking forward to celebrating with her husband, but when the food was ready, Lin Weiguo called back to say that the military district was having a banquet at the reception center today and wouldn't be able to return. Duan Yuzhen was very disappointed and muttered to herself all night, but when Lin Weiguo stumbled back home drunk, her resentment turned into concern and anger. She handed him the hangover soup she had prepared earlier, scolding, "You know you can't drink, why did you drink so much? In the end, who's the one who's uncomfortable?"

  Lin Hongfei smiled secretly as he listened, for the military, this special group, drinking was a platform for everyone to communicate their feelings, the standard of measurement was completely different from that in local areas, it was "starting with one jin", Lin Weiguo's maximum capacity was only one jin of white wine, but the tradition of the army was that you couldn't lose face even if you couldn't drink much, so although he didn't have a big capacity for liquor, as a leader, he couldn't lose his dignity, and the result was naturally that Lin Weiguo was always carried back after drinking.

  Don't look at Lin Weiguo drinking all over the place, but his head is still relatively clear. He smiled foolishly and replied, "Hehe... isn't this happy? Everyone has come to toast me, how can I not drink?"

  "When others offer you wine, do you just drink it?" As soon as she heard this, Duan Yuzhen's anger began to simmer again, "Then I cooked and waited for you to come home and eat, why didn't you eat... Hey, hey, how did you fall asleep, get up for me..."

  Duan Yuzhen was muttering to herself, while Lin Weiguo, who had been drinking happily, had already fallen asleep with his head tilted to one side, snoring loudly.

  ————————————————————————

  The next day, Lin Hongfei had just arrived at the factory when Gu Guangming, the newly appointed director of the office, hastily came to find him. With a enthusiastic face, he said to Lin Hongfei, "Hongfei, just now the municipal party committee office called and said that Director Wu wants to see you about something."

  When it came to the municipal party committee leaders letting Lin Hongfei go to the municipal party committee, Gu Guangming's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, his tone was extremely gentle. Although he didn't know what the municipal party committee leaders let Lin Hongfei go for, it must be a good thing, the municipal party committee leaders are in charge of the food, drink, and livelihoods of nearly 10 million people in Beiguan City, if there wasn't something important they wouldn't have let Lin Hongfei go... Are all the leaders very idle?

  According to the domestic officialdom tradition, the director of the municipal party committee office is concurrently served by the first deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and must be the most trusted assistant of the municipal party committee secretary. He is not only a big housekeeper in the municipal party committee but also has considerable speaking power on the side of the municipal government. Although it is unknown what happened this time to let Lin Hongfei go to the municipal party committee, since it was Director Wu who personally made the call, this matter must be very important. Gu Guangming did not dare to delay for a moment, and after receiving the phone call, he stood at the window of his office staring at the gate of the factory, and when Lin Hongfei arrived, he ran over in a hurry.

  "Did Director Wu from the Municipal Committee find me?" Lin Hongfei was a bit perplexed, what was going on, did he need to deal with the Municipal Committee office? After careful recollection, Lin Hongfei finally confirmed that he indeed shouldn't have any intersection with the Municipal Committee.

  Director Gu can't take care of so many things. For Director Gu, it doesn't matter why the municipal party committee leaders want to see Lin Hongfei, but since Director Wu was very polite on the phone and invited Lin Hongfei to go to the municipal party committee for a talk, he should resolutely understand and implement the leader's intentions. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Director Wu just gave me instructions, instructing me to let you go to the municipal party committee as soon as you start work." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but urge him, "Let's go, let's go, Little Lin, we can talk on the way, I'll take you there. If we keep the leaders waiting, it's our fault."

  The city's motorcycle manufacturing plant was not doing well, but it was still a municipal-owned enterprise with a regular structure and the leader's image was important. The cars were really there, with only two in the whole factory: one was an old 212 Jeep that could barely move, and the other was an old Shanghai sedan that couldn't be started no matter how many times it was checked. The 212 Jeep had always been the exclusive vehicle of the factory director, but since the director had been removed from office, all high-level leaders had disappeared, leaving this 212 to become the temporary highest leader: Director Gu Guangming's exclusive vehicle.

  …………………

  When Gu Guangming arrived at the municipal party committee compound in his Jeep, he personally drove Lin Hongfei and said with a warm and loving smile, "Hongfei, you go ahead, I'll wait for you here, we'll head back together later."

  Gu Guangming was aware of Lin Hongfei's identity, and Lin Weiguo was the deputy chief of staff of the military sub-district, a high-ranking official in the entire municipal military sub-district system. He had always been on good terms with Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dongfang, so he was naturally very polite to Lin Hongfei.

  With the experience of more than 20 years, Lin Hongfei naturally couldn't let Guangming wait here foolishly. He smiled and said, "It's hard to let you wait here like this. How about this? I'm familiar with the comrades at the reception office of our municipal party committee. Why don't you go somewhere else to sit for a while?"

  "This... doesn't seem right?" Gu Guangming said with a humble tone, his heart filled with joy.

  The Municipal Party Committee Office Reception Room? That's not a place where just anyone can go to enjoy the reception, ordinary people who come to the Municipal Party Committee and have the qualifications to enter this building, standing in the corridor waiting for the leader's meeting, that's enough to make them brag about how they've gained insight. If you have the qualifications to sit in the Municipal Party Committee Reception Room for a while, then you must be a "big shot" in the city, otherwise, wanting to enter the Municipal Party Committee Office Reception Room? Dream on!

  "What's wrong with that?" Lin Hongfei really didn't think it was a big deal to sit in the municipal committee's reception room for a while. Although he hadn't been to the municipal committee many times before, arranging for someone to sit in the reception room wasn't a problem at all. He explained, "As it happens, there's a classmate of mine and Dongfang Xiaoling's in the reception room. I wouldn't dare say this anywhere else, but since it's the reception room...I have to give my old classmate some face, after all."

  When Gu heard Lin Hongfei say that, he felt a sense of relief in his heart: since it was Lin Hongfei's classmate, there was no need to worry about being driven out and feeling embarrassed when entering. He pretended to be relaxed and said to Lin Hongfei, "Your classmate works at the municipal reception office? That's impressive."
