Chapter 818 Zhu Weijie
This change was somewhat unexpected. Song Yuanchao looked at the other party in surprise. Although he didn't know where Secretary Ma came from, he could tell from Manager Xu's respectful attitude towards Secretary Ma that the other party's identity was not simple.
But he didn't know Secretary Ma at all, and he wouldn't believe that a leader he had never met would come out of his way to deal with such trivial matters and give such instructions.
This is really strange, Song Yuanchao was puzzled, and suddenly his eyes fell on a young man standing behind Secretary Ma. Song Yuanchao felt that this young man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a moment. The other party smiled and nodded to him. Song Yuanchao immediately understood that the change must have come from this young man.
Manager Xu is not stupid to be a hotel manager, and he makes a living by reading people's expressions. After Secretary Ma made this arrangement, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly apologized to Song Yuanchao and the others, and personally went to the front desk to quickly complete the check-in procedures for them.
After the check-in formalities were completed, Secretary Ma politely shook hands with Song Yuanchao and his friends, saying that they were welcome to Shangdu and that if they had any questions, they could report them to him through Manager Xu . Song Yuanchao said a few words of thanks, and then shook hands with the young man behind Secretary Ma. When shaking hands, the young man smiled at Song Yuanchao and then blinked deliberately. Song Yuanchao was confused and still couldn't remember who the other person was, but he knew that the turn just now must be related to the other person. After sincerely thanking him, the other person left first.
They carried their luggage to the top floor, and only then did they realize that Secretary Ma had arranged for them an executive suite, which is very rare nowadays.
The room has two bedrooms and a large living room. It is very nicely decorated and is in no way inferior to other foreign-related hotels in Shanghai.
"This room is nice, almost as good as the best suite in Shanghai." After entering the room and looking at the layout and decoration inside, Sun Yaoliang couldn't help but sigh: "It's all thanks to Secretary Ma, Yuan Chao, who do you think this Secretary Ma is?"
"How should I know that?" Song Yuanchao shook his head and said, "But since they helped me, I have to thank them. I'll find time to ask them tomorrow. Just remember this favor."
"Yes, you are right." Sun Yaoliang nodded in agreement, and then asked Song Yuanchao which room he wanted to live in. Song Yuanchao didn't care and let him choose first. Sun Yaoliang was not polite and directly picked the room on the left.
They were very tired after the whole journey today, so they went to the room and chatted briefly before going to rest separately.
After a good night's sleep, it was already 7:30 when he woke up the next day. Song Yuanchao washed up first and then saw that Sun Yaoliang's door was still closed. He went over and knocked on the door to ask him if he wanted to go downstairs for breakfast. Sun Yaoliang's voice came and said that he would lie down for a while. Song Yuanchao said that and went by himself. Then he went out and took the elevator directly to the restaurant on the second floor.
Breakfast is provided free of charge by the hotel and is served in the restaurant on the second floor.
When they arrived at the place, Song Yuanchao registered with the room card at the door and then entered.
The breakfast here is buffet style, and looks similar to that of the foreign-related hotels in Shanghai. After all, this hotel is the best hotel in the business capital, so it is natural to have such service.
However, in addition to the usual dishes, there are also many local specialties of Shangdu. Song Yuanchao glanced at the dining table, took a plate to get the food, then poured a glass of soy milk, and then found a place to sit with the plate.
It is breakfast time and there are many people in the restaurant. Song Yuanchao is looking for an empty seat when suddenly his eyes fall to the corner on the east side.
There is a table over there, and a young man is eating breakfast leisurely. Isn’t this young man the one who was with Secretary Ma yesterday?
Song Yuanchao walked over there and put down the plate in his hand when he got there. Sensing the movement, the other party looked up and saw that it was Song Yuanchao and smiled at him.
"Thank you for last night." This was the first sentence Song Yuanchao said after sitting down.
"We are not strangers, it's just a piece of cake." The other party replied with a smile, and then asked: "Did you rest well last night? Is there anything you are not used to?"
"The room is nice, the sleep is good, there's nothing strange about it." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile, while his mind was still turning over in his mind who this person was and where he had seen him before.
"You'll get used to it. By the way, why are you here for business? I remember you work in Jinling?" the other person asked while eating.
"Isn't National Day coming soon? A college classmate is here. He's getting married on National Day, so a few old classmates came here to get together."
"Where is Luo Yang? Isn't Luo Yang your college classmate? Why didn't he come this time?" the other party asked again.
"Luo Yang can't come because of something. Besides, this gathering is a reunion of his former dormitory classmates. He is not very familiar with the other people." Song Yuanchao replied. At this time, he had remembered who this young man was. This young man was the cousin of Luo Yang and Luo Lin. Although they were called cousins, they were actually the same age, only two months apart.
When Luo Yang and Li Xiaoyun got married, Song Yuanchao met him at the wedding banquet. Luo Yang introduced them to each other at that time. However, because they met so briefly, the two sides did not have time to get to know each other in depth. In addition, they never met again after that, so it was normal for Song Yuanchao not to think of him for a while.
This young man's name was Zhu Weijie. When Luo Yang introduced him, Song Yuanchao remembered that he seemed to work in Shandong Province, but he was not sure what unit or position he held. After all, there were too many people at the wedding banquet, and Song Yuanchao didn't know many of them. In addition, the time was short, so Song Yuanchao only remembered these.
"Wei Jie... By the way, can I call you that?"
"Hahaha, I thought you forgot my name." Zhu Weijie laughed heartily.
"Haha, to be honest, I really didn't remember it before. I only suddenly remembered it when you mentioned Luo Yang just now. I'm really sorry." Song Yuanchao said very frankly.
"It's okay, it's okay. We only met once that year. It's normal that you don't remember it after such a long time. Besides, you remember it now, right? That's enough. We are not outsiders. We are still relatives. Just call me Wei Jie. Luo Yang and Sister Linlin call me that." Zhu Weijie deliberately winked at Song Yuanchao, and Song Yuanchao was amused to see him like this.
"I remember you were working in Shandong Province, right? How come you came to Shangdu? Yesterday I heard from Manager Xu that the hotel had the task of receiving comrades from other provinces. You didn't come to Shangdu with your colleagues from your unit, did you?"
"Haha, you guessed wrong." Zhu Weijie shook his head and said, "I was transferred to Shangdu to work last year. This time I am in charge of reception work, so I am in the hotel. It's a coincidence that you also stayed in this hotel and encountered such a thing. If I hadn't seen you in the lobby when I sent Secretary Ma downstairs yesterday, I would have almost missed it."
"Yes, what a coincidence." Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "Thanks to your help, otherwise we would have had to sleep on the street yesterday ."
"Hahaha, not really. You're a big boss. At most, you'll just have to troubleshoot another hotel. Besides, this is originally a hotel issue. How can you occupy a room that's already been booked?"
"I still have to thank you." Song Yuanchao said seriously, and then asked who was the leader of the Secretary Ma yesterday? He was not familiar with Shang, and did not know the identity of Secretary Ma. Secretary Ma helped a lot, and as a beneficiary, he had to express his gratitude.
Zhu Weijie told Song Yuanchao that Secretary Ma was a full-time deputy secretary of the city, and that Zhu Weijie was mainly responsible for the reception of guests from other provinces. Yesterday, Secretary Ma came to the hotel to visit an old friend from another province, and Zhu Weijie was responsible for the reception so he accompanied him.
After the visit, Zhu Weijie sent Secretary Ma downstairs and happened to meet Song Yuanchao in the lobby. He recognized Song Yuanchao at a glance and briefly introduced Song Yuanchao's identity to Secretary Ma, which led to Secretary Ma's direct intervention to solve the problem.
As for Zhu Weijie himself, he currently works under Secretary Ma, mainly responsible for some miscellaneous matters, and also holds the position of deputy director.
Although Zhu Weijie downplayed his job, Song Yuanchao knew as soon as he heard it that the other party's position was not low.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Weijie is the deputy director of the two offices. You should know that Shangdu is not an ordinary city, it is a provincial capital, and its level is half a level higher than that of an ordinary prefecture-level city . Generally speaking, the directors of the two offices are at the deputy bureau level, and the deputy directors are at least at the division level.
Zhu Weijie is of the same age as Luo Yang, but he didn't expect that he has reached such a level. He is now at the same level as Lin Yuhang and Zhang Liming, and may even be half a level higher.
"I didn't expect Wei Jie is now Director Zhu. Congratulations."
"Deputy Director." Zhu Weijie deliberately corrected Song Yuanchao's title of his position and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. If I hadn't been transferred to Shangdu, I might still be working in the government in Shandong Province. But then again, compared with Shandong Province, the Central Plains is much more backward, not to mention compared with other coastal cities. It's not easy for me to be a deputy director. The tasks are heavy and the work pressure is high, especially now that the whole country is paying attention to economic development, and local governments are paying great attention to economic issues. The province and the city have been trying to find ways to reverse the backward situation of Shangdu. This time, we invited comrades from other provinces to hold a symposium to learn from brother provinces..."
Song Yuanchao agreed with Zhu Weijie's words. Although the Central Plains is a populous province, its industry and commerce are not well developed, and it is still mainly based on agriculture. The industrial foundation is weak, and it is located in the inland area, so it is indeed not as good as the coastal areas.
Nowadays, the whole country is vigorously developing the economy. Compared with the coastal areas, the disadvantages of the Central Plains are very obvious, and it is difficult to reverse this situation.
"By the way, how long can you stay this time?" Zhu Weijie asked as he wiped his mouth with a towel.
"It depends on the situation. My classmate's wedding banquet is scheduled on National Day. We should at least wait until after the wedding banquet before leaving. How...?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.
Zhu Weijie also laughed. We were all smart people and they were not outsiders, so he immediately expressed his thoughts.
Zhu Weijie knew that Song Yuanchao was the chairman of Si Te Company. In recent years, Si Te Company has developed extremely rapidly in China and has built many branches and subsidiaries in various provinces and cities across the country.
Now the main work of Shangdu is centered on economic construction. Zhu Weijie feels that Song Yuanchao's visit this time is an opportunity. As the chairman of a large joint venture, if he can invest in Shangdu, it will be of great benefit to the local economic construction.
If convenient, he hopes to find time to have a good chat with Song Yuanchao and take him to meet Secretary Ma formally. Even if he cannot get Si Te's investment, as the head of a large enterprise, it would be helpful if Song Yuanchao can help him come up with ideas and think of solutions.
