Chapter 194 I Know Clearly Who Didn’t Give a Gift
After Li Jian left, He Zhi, director of the Culture, Tourism, Radio, Film and Television Bureau, walked in. Compared to Li Jian's tea, He Zhi took the tea and pushed an envelope over.
Jiang Ningyue opened the envelope suspiciously. Inside was a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills. "What does this mean?"
He Zhi couldn't figure out Jiang Ningyue's pulse. He also didn't know whether this parachuted-in executive deputy county magistrate liked money or not.
After thinking about it, it's better to take it than not to take it. After all, I will be working under someone else in the future.
If it is a male leader, you can also give him cigarettes and alcohol. Female leaders do not smoke or drink, so you cannot give them these.
I can only give money.
Hearing Jiang Ningyue's question, He Zhi did not panic, and said sincerely:
"County Magistrate Jiang, since last year, the County Party Secretary has held numerous meetings expressing his desire to develop the county's cultural tourism industry. As the Director of the Culture, Tourism, Radio, Film, and Television Bureau, I've been so worried that my hair has turned gray. You're an expert in this field. When you were promoting Chuanquan City, I had all the Party members, cadres, and staff in the bureau watch and study it repeatedly. I was so excited last night after hearing you were coming to our county that I couldn't sleep well. After much thought, I don't know what to bring for our first meeting. I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future. I hope you'll take good care of our Culture, Tourism, Radio, Film, and Television Bureau, and I hope you won't despise a small gesture from your subordinate."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and threw the envelope back. "Don't worry, I'll take the lead and do a good job, but there's no need for this money. Since you know me, you should understand that I'm not short of money, so there's no need to play tricks on me."
When He Zhi saw Jiang Ningyue throwing money in front of him, he was so scared that he stood up immediately. He had been giving gifts for so many years, but he had never seen anyone throw money back!
"Leader, please don't misunderstand me. This is my way of showing my respect and repaying you as a subordinate..."
"alright."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and patted the tea leaves on the table. "I'll take the tea, but forget about the money. Don't worry, I won't take your money, not anyone else's. Work hard and achieve more, that's how you repay me. If you do a good job, I'll recommend you to Secretary Gao of the Municipal Party Committee."
He Zhi has been giving gifts for so many years and has gained a lot of experience.
It's not appropriate to give a large gift for the first time. If you give someone 20 million right away, only a lunatic would dare to accept it. But if you give them 20,000 or 30,000, they might accept it.
Also, don't make demands when giving a gift. That's when it becomes a transaction, not a friendship.
Finally, the status of the recipients of gifts should not be too different. If He Zhi gave a gift to Gao Yi, the municipal party secretary, Gao Yi could directly give it to him at the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Therefore, He Zhi has been giving gifts for so many years and there is almost no one he refuses to accept.
Could it be that Jiang Ningyue is a good official picked out of thousands?
Are young people still passionate?
As for Jiang Ningyue's empty promises, He Zhi didn't take them too seriously. He had eaten too many empty promises over the years, but how many of them had come true?
But since Jiang Ningyue said so, I can’t give the gift today.
He Zhi put the envelope back into the file bag with a look of shame on his face. "Leader, your words really make me feel ashamed. I feel like a primary school student in front of you. From now on, you will be my teacher in work and life. I must learn from you, take you as my role model, and follow your example to be a good official serving the people."
A forty-year-old middle-aged man stood in front of a 24-year-old girl like a primary school student, constantly flattering the girl.
Isn’t this a kind of ability?
Jiang Ningyue once again interrupted He Zhi's flattery, "Director He, please take a seat. I actually have an idea. I'm planning to select a location in our county and create a variety show where celebrities can experience rural life, raising sheep, feeding chickens, and farming. At the same time, we'll promote our county's beautiful natural scenery. You can talk to Kang Meijing later to select some locations. I'll visit them one by one later."
He Zhiting's eyes lit up, as if there really was something going on! Most importantly, Jiang Ningyue herself had a great influence.
"Leader, don't worry, I will go back now and personally supervise this matter."
"good."
Jiang Ningyue stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with He Zhi. He Zhi looked flattered, bowed, touched her hands lightly, and immediately let go.
After He Zhi left, the director of the Water Affairs Bureau came in again. He also took out a box of tea and a thick envelope from his briefcase.
Jiang Ningyue accepted the tea and returned the envelope.
Afterwards, the heads of the Market Supervision Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Audit Bureau, and Media Integration Center all arrived and similarly presented envelopes, but Jiang Ningyue pushed them all back.
The director of the East-West Cooperation Office came over only after seeing that there was no one around.
"County Magistrate Jiang."
The director of the East-West Cooperation Office walked in with a smile, "Finally, I get to see my family."
Jiang Ningyue looked at the director of the cooperation office, Luo Zhenghong, with some curiosity. Luo Zhenghong introduced himself, "I'm from the Haizhou Provincial Government Office. I came to Shannan Province to provide aid last year!"
"oh!"
Jiang Ningyue suddenly understood and smiled, "Then they are indeed 'relatives'."
The two sat together and chatted, and as they did so, they turned to complaining about the leaders of Haizhou Province, especially the resigned Ouyang Jian. Luo Zhenghong had revealed a lot of his secrets.
The two chatted until they got off work.
Sitting in the office chair, Jiang Ningyue took out her notebook and made some notes.
All the county-level bureaus under his charge came this afternoon. Among them, Luo Zhenghong from the East-West Cooperation Office came empty-handed.
This was normal. After all, he was also assisted by Shannan Province and was not afraid of the Shannan provincial leaders. The leaders in charge could not do anything to him.
Li Jian from the Finance Bureau came with a box of tea. I don’t know if he is a noble person or if he has someone behind him.
If there is anyone, it can only be County Party Secretary Wang Haishan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningyue suddenly laughed.
She suddenly thought of a joke, 'I don't know who gave gifts, but I know clearly who didn't.'
I used to laugh at this joke, but now I think it is true.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Kang Meijing knocked on the door and asked after entering: "Boss, when are you free to go and see the houses we have chosen for you?"
"I won't watch it."
Jiang Ningyue tidied up the things on the table and said, "Anything quiet and clean will do."
"good."
Kang Meijing nodded, "Are there any requirements for the number of square meters?"
"Just a little smaller is fine. I live alone."
"OK."
Kang Meijing nodded, indicating that she had taken note of it, and left the government building with Jiang Ningyue.
Arriving at the parking lot, Jiang Ningyue's Mercedes-Benz was still parked there. Jiang Ningyue asked, "Do you live with your parents?"
"yes."
Kang Meijing nodded.
"Are you from here?"
"Not from here." Kang Meijing shook his head. "My family is in the city."
Jiang Ningyue felt a little regretful. "I even asked you to take me around to see if there's anything delicious nearby!"
"It's okay. I don't have to go home for dinner." Kang Meijing said with a smile, "I can just send a WeChat message."
"Your family is quite open-minded."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "You are from the city, so why are your whole family in Zhaoyang County? You can't be moving here to support your work, right?"
"That's not the case."
Kang Meijing introduced, "My father was transferred to the county for work, so he also asked me to take the county exam."
"Is your father also a county leader?" Jiang Ningyue was curious.
"No, he's the general manager of the Zhaoyang County branch of Taozhou Tianming Dairy."
"Tianming Dairy."
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and said, "I think I brought goods for you before."
"Yeah yeah!"
Kang Meijing smiled and said, "My dad watched that live broadcast and kept praising you for your ability! This time, when he heard that I was your secretary, he specifically told me to follow you closely."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and asked, "Then your father's factory in the county also has poverty alleviation tasks, right?"
"Yes, we have to help the villagers raise cattle. We have to pay for the milk produced by the cows and then give money to the villagers."
Kang Meijing complained, "My dad complained about it before. It would be better to just give him the money."
