Chapter 357 Accepting the Banquet
After returning to the United States, Smith found that Chu Lingyun's decision was correct.

Without enough sulfonamide, their business can only stop. Now that he is in the United States, he can take advantage of the fact that American products are easy to sell in China, buy more goods, find a ship for transportation alone, and ship them to China together with their sulfonamide.

Using a separate freighter, although the speed is not as fast as the passenger ship, their cargo is not heavy, and they can arrive earlier than the passenger ship because they do not stop along the way.

Smith has been in China for a long time, and with Chu Lingyun's suggestion, he purchased stockings, cosmetics and other in-demand goods in a big way, and sent out a shipment a year ago.

The ship had to arrive before the year in China, which was also Chu Lingyun's request.

"Teacher, you have a rest first, and I will take you to see the Virgo in the afternoon."

Chu Lingyun arranged Wang Yuemin to live in Jinling Hotel. Wang Yuemin was not the first station master. Cai Zhengru from Hangzhou station had already been there before.

These webmasters will all come to Nanjing every year before the end of the year. They say it is to report on their work, but in fact they come to make connections and give gifts.

It may not be very helpful after giving a gift, but if you don't give it, you will definitely be remembered.

Especially Virgo, it must not be less.

"Okay, you go to work first."

Wang Yuemin was very satisfied with Chu Lingyun's arrangement.

When he came to Nanjing before, he always found a place to live by himself, so how could anyone receive him like this.With Chu Lingyun, not only did his back become much stiffer, but when he came to Nanjing, he no longer had to do everything by himself like before.

Chu Lingyun's inspection made the stationmasters startled.

During this period of time, Wang Yuemin often received calls from other station masters, whether they visited sub-stations or not, all of these station masters had called.

Nothing, just reminiscing about the past.

Wang Yuemin and Chu Lingyun had an unusual relationship, they thought that if they fell into Chu Lingyun's hands, Wang Yuemin could help to intercede.

The call should be answered, and the answer should be agreed, but Wang Yuemin will not be so stupid as to intercede for them and make things difficult for Chu Lingyun.

"President, Chu Lingyun is here with Station Master Wang."

Secretary Qi came to the office and reported to the Chief.

"Let them in."

The chief immediately put down the documents in his hands. Although Wang Yuemin is the deputy stationmaster, he is basically the same as the stationmaster. If he didn't have to take care of his old friends, Wang Yuemin would have been promoted to stationmaster long ago.

The stationmasters of other stations also treated Wang Yuemin as an equal.

Wuhan is a big station with good grades. Wang Yuemin's status among all stationmasters is second only to Chen Shu from Shanghai station.

"I have seen Virgos in a humble position."

When he came to the desk, Wang Yuemin immediately saluted straightly, and Chu Lingyun stood behind him and saluted.

Chu Lingyun was carrying a box in his hand, which was a gift from Wang Yuemin to the chief executive this time.

"Come on, sit here and say, Ling Yun, you sit too."

Virgo's attitude towards them was unusual. When Cai Zheng came, he didn't even sit on the sofa, and let him leave after a few pleasantries.

Secretary Qi couldn't do anything about it. It was Cai Zhengzheng who didn't live up to his expectations, and Hangzhou stood up as a mole. If Chu Lingyun hadn't helped him find the mole in time, he would have been gone as the station manager long ago.

Wang Yuemin sat next to Chu Zuo, while Chu Lingyun leaned back.

"Yuemin, you have achieved remarkable results in Wuhan Station this year, and you have done a good job."

"It's what a humble job should do. It's the Virgo leader who has the talent to achieve such achievements."

Wang Yuemin only sat on half of his buttocks. After being praised, he immediately sat up straight and offered to flatter him.

"That's right, you have a good view on the overall situation, especially since you selected Ling Yun from the army and let our military intelligence department make great contributions."

Virgo smiled and nodded, the old man is very satisfied with his work this year, which has improved more than last year.

In previous years, old ghost Xu had the upper hand, but this year the old man praised him in front of old ghost Xu, which made him very proud.

Compared to him, Old Ghost Xu has not been so good this year. He has been scolded continuously, and last time there was the escape of the Red Party and the riot of Tan Wenbo, which made the old man angry again.

He was able to earn enough face in front of the old man, almost all due to Chu Lingyun's achievements.

He has made no secret of his admiration for Chu Lingyun.

"I chose Ling Yun, but it is you, the Virgo, who really makes him shine."

Wang Yuemin flattered again, and then glanced at Chu Lingyun after speaking.

Virgo's attitude towards Chu Lingyun is really unusual, it's very good, with Chu Lingyun around, he's not like in the past when no one is in front of Virgo.

"Haha, you still know how to talk."

Virgo laughed, and Chu Lingyun took the opportunity to put the box in his hand on the table: "Virgin, these are some New Year's goods that the teacher gave you, please accept them."

The box was quite heavy, Virgo knew what was inside and didn't open it.

"Yuemin is determined, work hard, Liao Wenwu will be transferred next year at the latest, and will officially take over as station master then."

"Thank you Virgo for cultivation."

Wang Yuemin got up immediately, the station master finally had to wait, and his heart ached from waiting.

Although his rights are the same as those of the webmaster, his title is still one level behind.

When he went out, others also called him Deputy Station Master Wang, unlike the members of the Military Intelligence Department who called him Station Master.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Lingyun and Wang Yuemin left, and Chu Zuo opened the box.

"So much, it seems that Wang Yuemin also earned a lot."

Chu Zuo's eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the box. There were sixty gold bars and two gold antiques inside.

Sixty gold bars is quite a lot. Cai Zhengzheng only gave [-] gold bars. Wang Yuemin also gave [-] gold bars in previous years, and this year the number has doubled.

"Chu Lingyun didn't forget the well digger when he drank water, and he took Wang Yuemin to do business together. Wang Yuemin did make some money."

Secretary Qi bent over and said, while Virgo kept nodding his head: "It's good, I have a way to make money, so I won't focus on the little money in the station."

Chu Lingyun's business is very profitable, Virgo has long known.

Even Chen Mutu, Wending and Song Ji are now working with Chu Lingyun, and these three want the most goods.

Although he didn't participate, Chu Lingyun would honor him with [-] US dollars every year, which is also quite a lot.

Apart from Xie Zhenyuan, it was Chu Lingyun who gave him the most.

But the nature of the two is different, what Xie Zhenyuan did can't be brought to the fore, he gave away so much to save his life, Chu Lingyun is different, he is doing regular business, and he is cooperating with Americans.

Virgo is even more satisfied with the formal business that gave him so much.

"Xie Zhenyuan should arrive tomorrow."

Secretary Qi said in a low voice, all the station masters would come years ago, the difference is the time sequence.

Xie Zhen is far away, but with a plane, he can be faster than other station masters.

"He's here, just bring him in."

The Virgo ordered, Xie Zhenyuan came and gave far more than the others, but what he gave was different from what other webmasters gave, it belonged to the Virgo.

Chu Lingyun was able to accompany Wang Yuemin to send it off, mainly because they had a different relationship, they were teachers and students, and belonged to the same body.

At the airport, Xie Ziqi was waiting inside.

"Brother Zhenyuan."

Seeing Xie Zhenyuan getting off the plane, Xie Ziqi rushed to meet them. What happened in Guangzhou had startled them, but luckily Xie Zhenyuan was decisive enough to escape.

If Xie Zhenyuan collapsed, Xie Ziqi would be alone, not to mention that he was the deputy section chief, not the section chief.

"Ziqi, long time no see."

"Go back and talk."

Xie Ziqi nodded slightly, and took Xie Zhenyuan and his people into the car.

"You did the right thing this time. Facing Chu Lingyun, you really can't have any luck."

In the car, Xie Ziqi said to Xie Zhenyuan that Xie Ziqi really panicked when Chu Zuo confiscated Shang Lao Wu's money. Fortunately, things didn't reach that point, and Xie Zhenyuan escaped safely in the end.

"You are right, this Chu Lingyun is really extraordinary."

Xie Zhenyuan replied with a wry smile that when Chu Lingyun went to Guangzhou, he not only had to share half of the profits, but all future business had to be reported to the higher authorities.

His loss was indeed not small.

"Now that you know his interests, the past is over. Don't think otherwise. Virgo now values ​​Chu Lingyun very much, and trusts him no less than He Nian and Xu Yi."

Xie Ziqi persuaded that Xie Zhenyuan was not a big-hearted person. He was afraid that Xie Zhenyuan still had resentment in his heart, so he wanted to deal with Chu Lingyun.

"I understand, this time I'm here, Chu Lingyun, I also prepared a copy."

Xie Zhenyuan patted his body. He didn't bring gold bars this time. What he brought were pounds and silver bills. The value of pounds was higher. Although the empire on which the sun never sets is not as good as before, their currency is still strong.

"That's good. Chu Lingyun should give it away. I heard that when Cai Zheng from Hangzhou Station came, he also gave it to Chu Lingyun."

Xie Ziqi didn't object. Chu Lingyun was the deputy section chief just like him, but what the deputy section chief said was obviously more effective than him.

The station masters who came this time, it is estimated that many people will bring Chu Lingyun when they give gifts.

Among other things, if Chu Lingyun did not step down from his position as the deputy chief of the inspection department, they would not be able to live in peace for a day, and maybe they would be investigated one day.

The same is true for the webmasters who have been investigated. Except for Wuhan, who can say that there will be no trouble in the future?
"I want to invite Chu Lingyun to dinner this time, can Ziqi help arrange it?"

Xie Zhenyuan said that after the Beiping matter was over, Xie Zhenyuan understood that he would not want to touch Chu Lingyun again in the future.

Chen Mutu, Wending, and Song Ji, they dared to provoke Rang only if they were desperate.

Not to mention that Virgo currently trusts Chu Lingyun the most. Since there is no chance of revenge, he should take the initiative to show his favor, at least not to be an enemy.

Otherwise, even if there is a seat, Xie Zhenyuan can't feel at ease.

Those things that I did by myself can be done by another person, but these things that Chu Lingyun did, no one else can do them except him.

"no problem."

Xie Ziqi agreed straight away. He and Chu Lingyun got along pretty well. When Chu Lingyun was the team leader before, his attitude was not high, and he never put on the airs of the deputy section chief.

Later, we worked on cases together, and we built some friendship.

Xie Zhenyuan soon met with Virgo, and he not only sent money, but also ledgers.

He must let the Virgo understand how much money he has earned, so that the Virgo will suspect that he is tampering and underpaying. He knows Virgo's character very well, and he must take the initiative to do this kind of thing.

When Virgo asks, the day when he will be replaced is not far away.

"This year's business is good, but in the future, pay more attention and don't make too much publicity."

After reading the account book, Virgo put away the banknotes, and Xie Zhenyuan sent another one hundred thousand, which was indeed quite a lot.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Xie Zhenyuan bent down, looked at him from the seat, and suddenly said: "The last time Chu Lingyun checked you, it was a business matter, you have to understand this matter."

"Yes, I know clearly. I have asked Xie Ziqi for help, and specially hosted a banquet for Deputy Section Chief Chu."

Virgo actually brought up this matter on his own initiative, it seems that Chu Lingyun's position in Virgo's heart is indeed extraordinary.

If you think about it, you can know that when Virgo was most helpless and frightened, only Chu Lingyun stood firmly by his side. This kind of friendship can't be compared with ordinary people.

Xie Zhenyuan inquired carefully, and knew that although Chu Lingyun could not sit under the same roof as Chu, he sent people to send different things to sit there every day, and passed on messages every day.

Moreover, Chu Lingyun had the chance to leave by himself, but he didn't, which was even rarer.

"I'm glad you could do that, go ahead."

Virgo nodded in satisfaction, and after Xie Zhenyuan went out, put the things he gave him in the drawer first, and take them home after get off work.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office and the station masters of each station also came to Nanjing one after another to give gifts to Old Ghost Xu.

Including the captain, team leader and section chief, all must be ready.

When the station masters came to Nanjing, it was impossible to just send them to Xu Laogui. People from all departments had to be taken care of, and the intelligence department and the operation department were the most important.

In the past few days, no matter the military intelligence department or the party affairs investigation department, the section chiefs of several major departments have received a lot of gifts.

When Bao Shengqun was the deputy section chief, he also received a little bit, although not much, but there was.

Now that he has been demoted to the head of the equipment group of the general affairs department, very few people give him gifts.

"Brother Bao, I have reserved a room in Baihualou, see you soon."

Xu Lin from Shanghai was the only one who came to Bao Shengqun's office on his own initiative.

Xu Lin used to be the mayor of the Shanghai District, but he was not from Xu Laogui, and was dismissed by Xu Laogui, and his life was not satisfactory.

He knew Bao Shengqun before, and would ask Bao Shengqun for a drink every year, and this year was no exception.

"Okay, see you soon."

Bao Shengqun escorted him out of the office and returned to his seat.

The performance of the Party Affairs Investigation Office this year was not very good, there were a lot of troubles, Old Ghost Xu was scolded by the superiors, Bao Shengqun knew this very well.

Those stationmasters from outside also came and went in a hurry, no one dared to touch Old Ghost Xu's bad luck.

The more this was the case, the happier Bao Shengqun was. Xu Lin could still remember him and still invite him, which made him even happier.

After get off work in the afternoon, Bao Shengqun called his wife and told her not to go home for dinner so that they didn't have to wait for him.

Baihualou is a good restaurant in Nanjing. The place is small, and the dishes are exquisite. The food here is not cheap.

Xie Zhenyuan arrived at Baihualou ahead of schedule, waiting for Chu Lingyun.

Today, Xie Ziqi took the initiative to invite, Chu Lingyun agreed to Xie Zhenyuan's banquet, and the two of them will come together in a while.

Xie Zhenyuan was ready to treat without the reminder from the Virgo, now that he has the reminder from the Virgo, he dare not neglect.

Bao Shengqun did not drive, but rode a bicycle to Baihualou.

Compared with when he was the deputy section chief before, he really kept a low profile.

As the team leader, if he wanted to use a car, no one would dare to say anything if he drove one away in the office, but since he came to the General Affairs Division, Bao Shengqun has never used a private car except for official business.

In fact, it is more convenient to use a car in general affairs. Old ghost Xu once praised him for his approach.

　The third update, the 1-word update is over today, thank you for the reward of 100 starting point coins late at night.
