Almost as soon as Secretary Song sat down, Secretary Zhu rushed to serve the dishes.
Su Yu looked and saw that besides braised fish, there was also stewed pig's trotters, dumplings, and large white steamed buns...
What a lavish meal!
These people are really willing to spend a fortune. There's no comparison. Compared to these veterans, I, a former tycoon, feel so inferior.
Yesterday, I used public funds to treat myself to a fish and a plate of dumplings, which I ended up eating myself.
"Secretary Song, please try the dishes and see how they are made today?" Secretary Zhu invited.
The other two remained silent, clearly indicating that they had agreed that Secretary Zhu would treat them to the meal.
Secretary Song didn't stand on ceremony and started eating with the fish.
I touched each dish. "It's well done."
Only after seeing him start eating did the others begin to eat.
Su Yu quickly grabbed a large white steamed bun and started eating the vegetables with it.
While eating, they remarked, "You guys usually eat such nice meals when you get together." This is practically a lavish meal for the nouveau riche these days.
"It was just a coincidence. We ran into you guys, so we added some dishes," Secretary Zhu said with a smile.
Secretary Zhou said, “Old Zhu works at a state-run restaurant. When we come to eat, he, as the host, will treat us to a good meal. When it’s our turn, it won’t be as lavish.”
Secretary Gao chimed in, "Yes, we won't be able to come up with so much good food then. We're only doing this because of Secretary Song and you."
"This meal is on Zhu's treat? I was planning to treat him myself, I even had the money ready." Secretary Song feigned surprise, patting his pocket.
Secretary Zhu was excited. "How could that be? If we're here and you, Secretary Song, are treating us, then I've failed in my job."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Comrades, you are all too kind to treat me and Secretary Song so well. I will treat you all next time."
Secretary Zhou received the signal and immediately said, "No, I was planning to treat everyone next time. All of us should come. It's not like Old Zhu is treating you all, and then you don't eat when I'm treating."
Secretary Gao quickly added, "And me too. We can't show favoritism, or I'll feel bad."
Everyone was doing the same thing, their eyes also glancing at Secretary Song, who was eating dumplings.
Secretary Song ate slowly, raising her right eyebrow as she looked at everyone. "I might not even have time... Well, you can let me know in advance. I don't really mind, the main thing is to give Comrade Su a chance to eat a few good meals. Her unit has it tough."
Su Yu chuckled inwardly, but smiled outwardly, "Secretary Song is such a good leader, she even knows how to care for us."
Sanrao's eyes immediately fixed on Su Yu. It seems that Secretary Su and Secretary Song's relationship became so good.
Ignoring the thoughts of others, Secretary Song continued speaking to Su Yu, "Comrade Su, let's talk again after we finish eating. I mentioned you to Mayor Qiu yesterday; there are some things I need to tell you."
Su Yu's lips twitched. It's no wonder Secretary Song had no good intentions; he was doing this for others to hear, to make them think he, as the secretary, was powerful.
Sure enough, the other three people's eyes lit up. After glancing at Su Yu, they all looked at Secretary Song.
Secretary Zhu couldn't keep it to herself, "Secretary Song, what's going on? Is there anything inconvenient about doing this in front of us?"
Secretary Song took a bite of her steamed bun. "It's about work. Comrade Su has achieved results, and when you achieve results, I will promote you too."
Upon hearing Secretary Song's words, the three of them smiled like children who had received a reward.
After dinner, Secretary Zhu and his team made an appointment with Secretary Song, promising to make sure to do so next time and not to break their promise.
Only after receiving Secretary Song's promise did they reluctantly leave.
After the three of them left, Su Yu finally took out all the handwritten materials from her bag. She had spent a lot of time and effort on these materials, even during work hours. She hadn't even had a chance to look at her textbooks.
"Secretary Song, I think what I said was too disorganized. It would be clearer if I wrote it down. What do you think of my work?"
Secretary Song looked at the work Su Yu had produced, including the well-organized tables, and found it indeed very clear and easy to understand. Moreover, Su Yu's data was very clear, concise, and easy to comprehend.
It seems that Comrade Su not only has a lot of ideas in his head, but also a lot of practical knowledge.
He's a talented person.
Secretary Song felt that if she were a leader, she would also hope to have a secretary who could do things so meticulously.
After scanning them over, he looked at Su Yu with satisfaction. "Comrade Su, weren't they invited by you today?"
"No, how could I possibly invite them? I found them quite strange when I saw them. I guess the waiter saw us eating with Secretary Zhu yesterday. If you don't like it, we won't choose this place next time."
Secretary Song smiled and said, "That's good. Actually, I really don't like eating with other people, it's not a good idea. But I'll have to agree to this today for your sake."
Su Yu looked grateful and said, "Secretary Song, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's nothing. I value talent very much. I wasn't lying to you just now; I recommended you to Mayor Qiu. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for you to work with me in the future."
Su Yu's mouth gaped open in surprise, "Secretary Song...you're not kidding me, are you?"
Secretary Song said seriously, "Why would I scare you? I'm talking to you seriously about business. So Su, you need to work hard, think things through, and strive for improvement. As long as you work well with me, I guarantee I'll recommend you whenever there's an opportunity. I value talent in all situations."
