Chapter 242 He Lied to Me
Yan Ji'an walked into the hotel with his head held high and his chest puffed out, with an air of being insolent.
Two middle-aged men walked in front. They had serious expressions and carried the aura of superiors. It was obvious that they were the leaders Yan Ji'an invited to support him, just like Hu Chengsheng invited the district leaders.
Lu An didn't recognize them, but Zhuang Wenyan beside him called out their identities: "It's actually Executive Vice Mayor Zhong Weidong and Secretary Shi Rui of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection!"
He also complained to Lu An why he didn't tell him earlier about such a distinguished guest so that he could prepare.
Lu An shrugged and said he didn't know about it beforehand.
Yan Ji'an walked proudly in front of Lu An under the guidance of the waiter.
Zhuang Wenyan and Li Yongwang immediately stood up and greeted the leader.
Yan Ji'an was a little surprised that Lu An could actually invite these two officials.
But that was all. After all, the two district cadres could not even show up in front of the city leaders they had invited.
Even his henchman Gao Yaowen stood up and said, "I have to criticize you, Comrade Lu An. You invited distinguished guests, but you couldn't even arrange a private room for them? This is too rude!"
Yan Ji'an also said: "Yes, we are colleagues in the same unit after all. If you can't book it, just call me! As long as you ask me for help, Lu An, I will definitely help you!"
Lu An shook his head helplessly, pointed at Gao Yaowen and said, "This show of power was thought up by that idiot, right? To be honest, it's really unskillful!"
Lu An knew from the beginning that it was Yan Ji'an who was behind it.
After all, Jianghuai Hotel is considered one of the top hotels in the province. It is impossible for Hu Chengsheng and Shen Fengwen and a few other businessmen to do this. Only Yan Ji'an, who has the support of the executive vice secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, can make this possible.
However, in Lu An's opinion, it didn't make much sense for them to go to great lengths to get the hotel manager to help them get out of the box.
Lu An then continued, "Director Yan, I remember that Secretary Yan recently explained the spirit of the central document to us at the party building work conference, requiring us to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue to maintain the style of hard work of party members, and strictly limit the problem of cadres eating and drinking lavishly."
Yan Ji'an was put in a difficult position with just one sentence, and he couldn't even pretend to be a bitch who had originally planned to get a private room for Lu An.
Even though Yan Ji'an's political wisdom was not very high, he still understood that it was not right for his uncle to emphasize the style problem at the meeting and then for his nephew to take the lead in violating it.
Yan Ji'an turned around and glared at Gao Yaowen fiercely, secretly hating this guy for kicking Lu An out of the box for no reason, and ended up embarrassing himself.
It was Zhong Weidong who stepped forward to rescue Yan Ji'an.
He first affirmed that Lu An strictly demands himself and abides by the spirit of the documents of the superior organization, which is worthy of praise.
He also asked Yan Ji'an to learn from Lu An.
But then Zhong Weidong changed the subject and said that it was right to maintain the style of party members and cadres in accordance with the spirit of the document, but attention should also be paid to methods.
Leaving the private room and eating in the lobby does not mean it is a good behavior, and conversely, eating in a private room does not mean there is something wrong with your behavior.
"If we just blindly use the box as the standard, it's easy to fall into dogmatism, which is very bad," said Zhong Weidong.
Yan Ji'an finally found the evidence and immediately accused Lu An of being a dogmatist.
Lu An spread his hands and said, "Okay, then Yan Ji'an, go and arrange a private room."
The smile on Yan Ji'an's face suddenly froze.
Whether you have a private room or not is your own business, why should you bother yourself with this?
I'm not your errand boy, Lu An!
So Yan Ji'an once again resented Gao Yaowen for coming up with this bad idea.
Although he was resentful, Yan Ji'an had to quickly get a private room. He couldn't really let the two elders eat in the lobby. If this matter got back to his uncle's ears, he would be hung up and beaten.
Therefore, Yan Ji'an immediately went to the hotel manager to arrange a private room.
Taking advantage of this time, Lu An asked Zhuang Wenyan, Li Yongwang and Hu Chengsheng separately if they wanted to go together.
Zhuang Wenyan and Li Yongwang both said: Since the leader is busy, they would not disturb him, they would just toast him with a glass of wine and leave.
They are all officials, and they know very well: it is right for you to curry favor with the leaders, but you must be careful about the limits!
As for Hu Chengsheng, Shen Fengwen and the others, they were sitting there obediently, silent as a mouse. They could never have imagined that Lu An's background was so powerful.
Hu Chengsheng originally thought that he could invite Zhuang Wenyan and Li Yongwang, which would be enough to scare a young person who had just started working.
As a result, the other party sent two city leaders to him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Zhuang Wenyan and Li Yongwang did not dare to disturb them too much, he, a general manager of a small branch of the Xinhuai Group, was even more afraid to do so. He shook his head repeatedly to indicate that he would just join in the toast.
Soon the hotel manager came back and told them that the private room was ready.
Lu An asked them to go up first and he would be there soon.
After seeing off Yan Ji'an and the two city leaders, Lu An, Hu Chengsheng, Shen Fengwen and others were left behind.
Lu An sat on the chair, playing with the teacup in his hand: "What do you want to say now?"
Hu Chengsheng was the first to speak out: "Director Lu, Leader Lu, I was wrong. I didn't know that Hongxun Paging Station was your property. I shouldn't have thought of taking advantage of it. I deserve to die!"
"I was deceived by Shen Fengwen. He said it was his black paging station, so I had this idea. I really didn't know!"
"I have always been curious about the development of the paging station. There must be a master behind it. Only after meeting you, Director Lu, did I confirm that my judgment was correct!"
"I promise you I will never dare to do that again!"
Hu Chengsheng bowed to Lu An in a very honest manner to apologize, pass the blame, and promise not to do it again, all in one smooth move.
Lu An then looked at Shen Fengwen.
Shen Fengwen trembled all over and immediately expressed his opinion: "Leader Director Lu, I also know that I was wrong!"
"This is all because of this guy Deng Weichen. He said that there are many potential customers for paging stations. He lied to me and wanted to seize your paging station business!"
"This guy is so evil. It was you, Director Lu, who saved the paging station and gave him the opportunity to continue working. But he is ungrateful and wants to take the paging station for himself. He is simply not a human being!"
Shen Fengwen followed suit and put the blame on Deng Weichen.
Deng Weichen watched all this in amazement. He didn't expect that he would be sold out like this.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but in the end, no words came out.
"Actually, I still like your rebellious look at the beginning. You guys should calm down a bit." Lu An said with a smile.
Hu Chengsheng, Shen Fengwen and the other two looked at each other, totally confused as to what Lu An was talking about.
"What I mean is, don't you want to buy the paging station? I also tell you that this is not something that cannot be negotiated." Lu An said.
