Chapter 747 New Arrival
Feng Hongmei originally thought that Song Yuanchao was a corporate executive who was about the same age as her or even older, but she didn't expect to find out that Song Yuanchao was so young when they met.
Although Song Yuanchao's administrative level is higher than Feng Hongmei's, there is a convention in government agencies that the level of the enterprise does not count. Even enterprise leaders at the department level or above have to be humble when facing government officials who are one or even two levels lower than themselves. This is the difference between functional departments and enterprises.
Before Song Yuanchao came, the Enterprise Department had already made preparations and vacated a desk for Song Yuanchao in the department's large office.
Taking Song Yuanchao into the department office, Feng Hongmei briefly introduced him to several comrades currently in the department and told him that the section chief was not in the unit today because he was out for work. As for the desk, she pointed to a desk in the corner to the left of the door. This desk was temporarily given to Song Yuanchao.
"This is the condition here. Although it's a large compound, the offices of each department are quite crowded. They are definitely not as spacious as your company..." Feng Hongmei said, pointing at the desk and said, "This desk was found from the logistics department. It's a bit old, but it's fine to use. It's been cleaned and has a new glass tabletop. Stationery and other things have been collected and put in the drawer. Please take a look to see if there's anything missing. If you need anything, just tell me directly."
"Thank you, Sister Feng. I think it's good. These are enough." Song Yuanchao took a look at the table. It was indeed an old table as Feng Hongmei said, and the chair was the same.
The desk and chairs were wiped clean, and there was a new glass tabletop on the table, and the green velvet underneath was brand new. Opening the drawer, there were ballpoint pens, pencils, some manuscript paper, a work manual, scissors, a paper cutter, and a stapler. It was obvious that Feng Hongmei had prepared everything very well.
" You're welcome . It's my duty." Feng Hongmei smiled and said, "So that's it for now? Your specific work will be arranged when the leader comes back."
"No problem." Song Yuanchao nodded, and at the same time said: "By the way, Sister Feng, is your Enterprise Department mainly responsible for investigating and selecting enterprises for this event?"
"Yes, we are doing the preliminary work. The final list of participating companies will be submitted to the leaders for confirmation after we complete it."
"Then... can you show me the list of these companies and their general information? As you know, I'm here mainly to assist with this work. We don't have much time left, so I want to start work as soon as possible."
"Well..." Feng Hongmei hesitated and nodded: "How about this, I'll have someone bring the information to you, but there's a lot of information, you alone...?"
"It's okay, I just want to take a preliminary look to form an impression in my mind. The specific work is still up to you. I'm just cooperating." Song Yuanchao explained quickly for fear that the other party would overthink it. Feng Hongmei smiled and nodded, then turned around and called a young man from the office and asked him to find the information for Song Yuanchao.
There was a lot of information, and it took up a huge pile of cowhide file bags. Seeing that the young man was struggling to carry them, Song Yuanchao hurried forward and took half of them to help carry them back, piling them all on the table.
He did not open the documents first, but took out a teacup from the briefcase he brought with him, found a thermos and made himself a cup of tea. He then classified the documents according to the company categories on the documents. Then he sat down and opened the first document bag, took out the information inside and looked at it carefully.
"Sister Hongmei, who is this? The new leader in the department?" After moving the things, the young man walked towards his side. After a few steps, he turned back and glanced at Song Yuanchao who was concentrating on looking at the documents, then walked to Feng Hongmei's desk and leaned over to ask.
"It was arranged by the leader. The cadres from the enterprise said they were here to cooperate with us in this spring trade fair." Feng Hongmei said softly.
"Corporate cadres? Why are corporate cadres coming here? And cooperating with us in our work?" the young man wondered.
"How would I know the leader's arrangements? Okay, go do your job and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Oh, by the way! If Comrade Song needs anything, please cooperate with him. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, I understand." The young man nodded and agreed when Feng Hongmei spoke to him in a warning tone, but he was muttering in his heart, why would a corporate cadre come to their side to cooperate? Moreover, Song Yuanchao looked about the same age as himself, and he might have come through the back door. He might be using this event to gild himself or something, otherwise why would they let a corporate cadre participate in their work?
Song Yuanchao was far away and didn't hear their conversation. Besides, Song Yuanchao's attention was not here at the moment. After getting the information, he read it carefully. While reading, he took out a notebook and wrote down some key points on it, and classified them at the same time.
Although this task was arranged by Lin Daoyuan and Song Yuanchao just didn't agree to it, now that he has agreed to Lin Daoyuan and is here, for Song Yuanchao this is a job that must be completed and done well.
Song Yuanchao was not very familiar with the work procedures of Feng Hongmei and his colleagues, and he had never formally done such work before. However, Song Yuanchao was familiar with enterprises and foreign trade. Coupled with his knowledge and experience, he had different views and judgments on this kind of work.
From sitting down to reading the materials and taking notes, he was busy for a long time. It was not until noon when Feng Hongmei reminded Song Yuanchao that it was time for lunch that Song Yuanchao realized that he had been reading the materials for more than three hours.
Putting down the documents in his hand and thanking Feng Hongmei, Song Yuanchao asked about the location of the cafeteria, and went to the cafeteria to get his meal with the meal ticket that Feng Hongmei helped him exchange.
The food in the canteen of the compound was good, and it was no worse than the canteen of their company. Song Yuanchao followed the crowd to get food, found a place to fill his stomach, washed the dishes and returned to the office. He saw several office workers who had returned and were taking a lunch break at the table. Song Yuanchao filled his teacup with water and sat back in the office to continue reading the documents.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Hongmei received a phone call. At first, she didn't take it seriously, but after hearing the voice coming from the phone, Feng Hongmei stood up subconsciously.
"Okay, okay, I'll inform Comrade Song Yuanchao right away. Okay, okay, leader..." After saying that, she hung up the phone and Feng Hongmei hurriedly walked towards Song Yuanchao. When she got there, she saw that Song Yuanchao was still immersed in the information, and the notebook he placed aside had already been densely written down with a lot of things.
"Um... Song..."
"Sister Feng, are you looking for me? Haha, you can just call me Xiao Song, or you can call me Yuanchao. Is there something?" Hearing the noise, Song Yuanchao looked up and saw that it was Feng Hongmei. He immediately put down the documents in his hand and asked with a smile.
"Secretary Li just called. Yuan Chao, why don't you go over there? By the way, Secretary Li's office is upstairs. Secretary Li is now the director and secretary of our office. Go upstairs and turn left. It's the second room at the end."
"Okay, Sister Feng, I'll be there right away, thank you." Song Yuanchao thanked her quickly, stood up, organized the documents on the table, and then walked towards the door.
After Song Yuanchao left, Feng Hongmei looked at the direction he left with some confusion, wondering who this Song Yuanchao was.
It was not easy for an ordinary corporate cadre to be summoned by Secretary-General Li himself! You should know that Secretary-General Li was their director and secretary, but in fact, he was rarely responsible for specific affairs. The specific work of the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission was handled by each department. Most of the directors and deputy directors of the Commission were part-time and rarely intervened in specific work.
But today, not long after Song Yuanchao arrived, Secretary-General Li called to ask whether Song Yuanchao had arrived, and asked to see him by name. What does this mean?
Feng Hongmin couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Song Yuanchao, and was also curious about his origins.
Song Yuanchao didn't care what Feng Hongmei thought. He came here just to promise Lin Daoyuan to help. Besides, he had no direct relationship with the Foreign Trade and Economic Commission. Not to mention Feng Hongmei, even if their section chief was in Song Yuanchao's position, it was the same. But since he came here to do something, it was only right for everyone to be polite. After all, this was someone else's territory.
Following Feng Hongmei's instructions, Song Yuanchao went straight upstairs and soon found Secretary-General Li's office.
After knocking on the door, a secretary wearing glasses opened the door . When he saw Song Yuanchao, he asked who he was. Song Yuanchao told the other party his name and explained his purpose. The secretary took Song Yuanchao inside. There was a small office with another door inside. Song Yuanchao knew that the room outside was the secretary's office, and Secretary General Li's office was inside.
"Leader, Comrade Song Yuanchao is here." The secretary walked up and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and said something to the inside.
"Let him in." A voice came from inside. The secretary turned around, opened the door, and invited Song Yuanchao to come in. Song Yuanchao nodded slightly to express his gratitude and stepped into the inner room.
When he got inside, he could see at a glance a man in his fifties sitting at a desk. The man had a square face, thick eyebrows, and was wearing a blue-black Zhongshan suit. It was Secretary-General Li whom he wanted to meet.
Secretary-General Li is actually the Deputy Secretary-General, but Chinese people rarely use the word "Deputy" in official circles. The Secretary-General is simply called Secretary-General, and the Deputy Secretary-General is usually called with a surname added before the title and then the word "Deputy", which sounds more appropriate.
"Hello, Comrade Song Yuanchao, when did you come?" Seeing Song Yuanchao coming in, Secretary-General Li stood up and walked towards him with a smile, and extended his right hand before he got close.
Song Yuanchao hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hands to shake hands with Secretary Li, and bowed slightly, saying, "Hello, leader. I arrived at 8 o'clock in the morning."
"Very good, very good. You've been here for most of the day." Secretary Li nodded with a smile. At this time, the secretary had already made tea for Song Yuanchao and placed it on the coffee table beside him. Secretary Li nodded slightly to him, and the secretary understood and went outside, gently closing the door for them when leaving.
