Chapter 820 Job Change
After leaving Lu Jun's home, Sun Yaoliang asked Song Yuanchao what his next plans were and whether he wanted to go to the branch company to inspect the work.
Song Yuanchao thought about it and waved his hand. He told Sun Yaoliang that he would not go to the branch office and let Sun Yaoliang go alone. He had to go back to the hotel for other things. If nothing unexpected happened, he had other arrangements tomorrow.
When they set out, Sun Yaoliang had already heard Song Yuanchao talk about Zhu Weijie, so he immediately understood what Song Yuanchao's so-called arrangement was all about.
He agreed immediately, drove Song Yuanchao back to the hotel, and then went to the branch office himself.
After returning to the hotel room, Song Yuanchao washed his face first, then found the phone number that Zhu Weijie left him in the morning and called him.
The person who answered the phone was not Zhu Weijie. Song Yuanchao told the person on the other end who he was and asked the other party to call back as soon as possible. After hanging up the phone, Song Yuanchao made himself a cup of tea, then took a newspaper and opened it, waiting for Zhu Weijie to call back.
About an hour later, Zhu Weijie still hadn't returned the call. Just as Song Yuanchao was about to make another call to ask, the doorbell rang.
Get up and open the door.
The door opened, and standing at the door was Zhu Weijie.
"I was busy up front, and just heard my subordinates report that you were looking for me. I took a look at the phone number and knew it was the hotel's number. I thought there was no need to call back or anything, so I just came here directly." Zhu Weijie explained to Song Yuanchao with a smile.
Song Yuanchao quickly invited him to come in and sit down. When they came to the living room, Song Yuanchao asked him what he wanted to drink. Zhu Weijie waved and said he didn't want to drink tea. He had just finished his work since morning and had also held a symposium. His stomach was already full of water and he couldn't drink any more.
Since they were not strangers, Song Yuanchao did not hesitate to be polite. The two of them sat down on the sofa. Zhu Weijie took out a cigarette and handed it to Song Yuanchao: "Have you met your classmates?"
"I have met him. I just got back." Song Yuanchao thanked him and took the cigarette. He lit it for Zhu Weijie first, then lit his own and took a puff, saying, "Several of my old classmates will arrive the day after tomorrow. I have to attend a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. I'm only free tomorrow."
"Tomorrow..." Zhu Weijie thought for a while and said he would make a phone call to ask first, then picked up the phone and dialed a number. After a while, the call was connected. He said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone. After a while, he said, "I'll ask," then covered the microphone and looked at Song Yuanchao .
"Secretary Ma has meetings tomorrow morning and afternoon. He said if it's convenient for you, let's have dinner together later today. How about that?"
Song Yuanchao thought about it and said it was no problem. Zhu Weijie immediately let go of the phone and answered the person on the other end of the phone. Then he said, "Okay, I understand," and hung up.
"Thank you, Yuanchao." After hanging up the phone, Zhu Weijie thanked Song Yuanchao.
"We're one family, no need to be so polite. Besides, if anyone really wants to say thank you, it should be me." Song Yuanchao waved his hand and said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Weijie burst into laughter and shook his head.
"By the way, Wei Jie, why are you, the deputy director, so concerned about this matter? Is it because of work?" Song Yuanchao asked, showing a curious expression.
As the deputy director of the two offices, although his rank is not low, his actual work is to serve the leaders, and he usually does some specific work assigned by the leaders. Economic work like this, especially the decision-making and ideas involving the local economy, generally has little to do with his actual work, but Song Yuanchao always feels that Zhu Weijie is very enthusiastic about this matter and seems to be very concerned about it.
Zhu Weijie took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I'll tell you the truth. Secretary Ma is currently in charge of Shangdu's economic work. This matter is very important, and Secretary Ma has already talked to me privately . He plans to let me take up a position in the district. If nothing unexpected happens, my position will change next month."
"Which district?"
"June 1st District."
"The top leader?"
"Yes! Number one!"
"Congratulations!" Song Yuanchao hurriedly congratulated Zhu Weijie. Although it was his first time to visit Shangdu, he still had some understanding of Shangdu. Among all the districts of Shangdu, District 61 was not the largest in terms of area, but it was the most important one.
The Liuyi District is located in the city center and covers the most prosperous area of the commercial capital. It has always ranked first among the districts of the commercial capital.
Zhu Weijie's current rank is equal to that of the top leader of District 61. Although being transferred from the position of deputy director to the top leader of District 61 seems to be just a lateral transfer, it is actually a great improvement for Zhu Weijie.
Although working in the two offices seems glamorous, it is just some practical service work. But it is different to be the top leader of the Liuyi District. Whether it is the focus of work or the power in hand, it is much better than being the deputy director of the two offices. More importantly, the top leader of the Liuyi District can usually join the municipal committee team. This step is completely different, and the future is instantly brighter.
"Thank you." Zhu Weijie thanked him and then reminded him, "This matter has not been officially announced yet. Just keep it to yourself. If it gets out..."
"I understand. Don't worry." Song Yuanchao gave him a knowing look.
No wonder Zhu Weijie was so concerned about this matter, it turned out to be because of this reason. Once Zhu Weijie took office, his main job would be the economic work of Liuyi District, and Song Yuanchao was the chairman of Si Te Company, which is currently the number one beverage group in the country. If he could attract Si Te's investment, it would be very helpful for Zhu Weijie's future.
In addition, the relationship between Zhu Weijie and Secretary Ma seemed unusual. As a cadre from Shandong Province who worked in Shangdu, Zhu Weijie was so valued by Secretary Ma. There must be some reasons that Song Yuanchao didn't know. However, these had nothing to do with Song Yuanchao. The reason why Song Yuanchao agreed to Zhu Weijie was, firstly, because of the relationship between Luo Yang and Luo Lin, and secondly, he had a good impression of Zhu Weijie. In addition, it was normal for friends to help each other because of his help last night.
In addition, although Si Te Company does not have a factory in Zhongyuan Province, its sales company branch and logistics branch have been established in Shangdu.
Central Plains is a populous province and its economic situation is not as good as that of coastal areas. However, from the perspective of population factors, the consumption potential of Central Plains is still very good.
Cooperating with Zhu Weijie will not only bring the two sides closer together, but will also be beneficial to the subsequent layout of Si Te Company in Central China. As an enterprise, it is necessary to maintain good relations with the local government.
After receiving Song Yuanchao's reply, Zhu Weijie was in a good mood. He stood up and said that he had some work to arrange and left first. They would meet in the small restaurant on the third floor at seven o'clock in the evening, and then he would meet Secretary Ma.
After seeing Zhu Weijie off, Song Yuanchao looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he simply took out the company's documents and started looking through them. He then made a few phone calls to the headquarters to inquire about the progress of some work arrangements.
Soon it was past 6:30. Sun Yaoliang was inviting colleagues from the branch office to dinner today, and he had called to let them know. Song Yuanchao changed his clothes, took the elevator down to the third floor, and went to the small restaurant. Zhu Weijie was already waiting.
The two men exchanged a few pleasantries, drank tea and chatted while patiently waiting for Secretary Ma to arrive.
A few minutes after seven o'clock, footsteps were heard in the corridor, the door of the private room opened, and Secretary Ma, whom Song Yuanchao had met yesterday, appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Chairman Song. I'm very sorry that I came late because I was too busy at work." Secretary Ma smiled and extended his hand to Song Yuanchao as soon as he entered the door, greeting him casually.
Song Yuanchao quickly stretched out his hands and held Secretary Ma's right hand, saying that he had just arrived and some polite words like "Secretary Ma, thank you for your hard work."
Secretary Ma came alone, without his secretary or anything, Zhu Weijie, as half the host, invited Secretary Ma to take the seat. Secretary Ma chatted and laughed casually for a few words and sat down, Song Yuanchao sat on Secretary Ma's left, and Zhu Weijie sat on his right.
After taking a seat, Secretary Ma asked Song Yuanchao with a pleasant face how he rested last night and whether he was satisfied with the hotel room. He apologized to Song Yuanchao again. Song Yuanchao waved his hands and said thank you for Secretary Ma's concern, the hotel room was very good, and he rested well.
Then, Secretary Ma asked Song Yuanchao why he came this time. Song Yuanchao said that he came this time to attend the wedding of an old classmate. Hearing this, Secretary Ma specifically asked Song Yuanchao's old classmate where he worked now. When he learned that Lv Jun worked in the education department, he said that the work in the education department was good. Although it was hard, it was training. Moreover, Lv Jun was now a middle-level leader in the education department and graduated from the Imperial University of Peking. Such young cadres were the backbone of the Shangdu cadre team and should shoulder heavier responsibilities in the future.
In this regard, Song Yuanchao expressed his gratitude to Secretary Ma on behalf of Lu Jun. He also took the opportunity to introduce Lu Jun's situation and hoped that Secretary Ma could give Lu Jun more responsibilities at an appropriate time. Lu Jun is a man of both education and ability, but a little honest. However, as long as the leaders are willing to use such comrades, they will definitely surprise the leaders.
Secretary Ma laughed when he heard what Song Yuanchao said, saying that if that was the case, he should be trained better. Then he said to Zhu Weijie, "Will Comrade Weijie go to work in the Liuyi District soon?" When he arrived in the district, he would need a suitable helper. Since Lv Jun was a top student who graduated from the Capital University and worked in the education department, his rank was high enough. It would be a waste for such a talent to be placed in the education department. He could consider transferring him to a suitable position in the district for training.
If Lu Jun is indeed capable, it would be a good thing for Zhu Weijie. With more helpers, it would be much easier to carry out work in the future.
Zhu Weijie nodded with a smile, saying that this was indeed a good arrangement, and specially thanked Secretary Ma for the reminder.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Song Yuanchao knew everything in his heart. Since Zhu Weijie had already communicated with Secretary Ma privately, and Zhu Weijie also knew the purpose of his coming to Shangdu, Secretary Ma might have already understood Lu Jun's situation.
Just now, Secretary Ma seemed to have mentioned Lu Jun unintentionally, and he said these words in front of Song Yuanchao. How could Song Yuanchao not understand that this was an olive branch that Secretary Ma had deliberately extended?
Song Yuanchao was very clear about this kind of officialdom tactics. Some things didn't need to be said out loud, as long as everyone understood them. And since Song Yuanchao was here today, it was equivalent to agreeing to Zhu Weijie, so it was only natural to take this opportunity to help his old classmate Lu Jun.
If the old classmate follows Zhu Weijie to work in the district in the future and is more capable of taking charge, it will also be a good thing for Song Yuanchao's future layout in Central Plains and Shangdu. Why not do it?
