Chapter 2532
The steward here is named Yang Ji, who has worked in Qiong Lianfa for several years, and was transferred from Zhoushan to Hangzhou last year.Although he didn't know the identities of Tao Hongfang and the others, he knew exactly who Ning Zijing was.Although this young master is young, he is one of the high-ranking priests on the roster issued by Qiong Lian.And Tao Hongfang and Ning Zijing were called brothers, and even the attendants they brought were by no means ordinary servants. It goes without saying that these people's identities were certainly not ordinary people.Immediately, Yang Ji specially instructed his subordinates to take good care of these distinguished guests.
After Yang Ji asked Ning Zijing for instructions, he learned that they didn't want to go out for dinner, so he transferred all the chefs from the restaurant across the street to serve them.These chefs not only know how to cook Haihan-style dishes, but also are good at Huaiyang cuisine in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Ning Zijing and others lived in the south all year round, but they rarely had the opportunity to taste authentic Huaiyang cuisine, so they ordered to make a few local signature dishes to try.Yang Ji didn't dare to be too slow, and went to the kitchen to work as a supervisor himself.
"Zijing, it's still comfortable on your job. There are dedicated people to wait on you wherever you go, and you don't have to take your status into consideration like us and follow the rules in the yamen." Tao Hongfang said to Ning Zijing while drinking tea. The treatment showed envy.Of course, such a statement was only half a joke. If he really revealed his family background, the stewards here would treat him as a bodhisattva.
Ning Zijing smiled and said: "My status as a worshiper is only useful in Qionglian. Who cares after going out of this door? It is not comparable to a few brothers. With an official position, I am not afraid to travel all over the world!"
Although Ning Zijing is young, he is also very clear about where his enshrined status in Qiong Lianfa comes from.Of course, Qionglian was willing to provide him with such superior treatment, not because of his outstanding professional ability, but mainly because he had an old father who was in charge of the country.However, this enshrined identity is indeed only useful within Qiong Lianfa, and it seems convenient when walking outside, but for ordinary people, its influence is definitely not comparable to that of officials working in the Yamen.
The other three people traveling together this time are all officials. Although their current positions are not high, with their identities, it is only a matter of time before they enter the upper echelons of power.And Ning Zijing still has the opportunity to become an official from a businessman, and switch to an official career, taking the path that most second-generation wearers would choose.
Bai Letong said: "With Zijing's ability and qualifications, if he wants to transfer to the Ministry of Commerce and become a colleague of Hongfang, I don't think it will be a big problem."
Ha Jianyi was rough and subtle, shaking his head and retorting: "In my opinion, Zijing's ambition is probably not here, otherwise why bother to go through all these troubles, wouldn't it be better to just say hello to Lord Shi?"
Ning Zijing smiled and said, "Little brother is still inexperienced and needs to be tempered slowly. As for whether to pursue business or politics in the future, there is no need to rush to make a decision right now."
Ning Zijing didn't want to continue this topic, and the others naturally wouldn't force it either.Everyone drank tea and chatted. After a while, Yang Ji, the steward, came to report that the banquet was ready.
Everyone took a look at the table and saw that the dishes on the table, such as crab powder lion head, squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, duck wrapped shark's fin, etc., were all local specialties. Adding a pot of Shaoxing daughter red, it was a standard Huaiyang cuisine configuration on the table.
With Yang Ji's status, he is naturally not qualified to serve as an accompanying guest at the table, so he can only stand by and serve.Only then did Ning Zijing remember, and asked where the local deacon and shopkeeper was.
Yang Ji responded respectfully: "The shopkeeper, the old man, went to Yangzhou the day before yesterday, and he may have to stay there for a few days. If Young Master Ning stays here for a longer time, he will definitely meet sometime."
In fact, Ning Zijing only learned about the person in charge of Qiong Lianfa in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after he received the transfer order in Sanya.Qiong Lianfa was jointly funded and established by more than a dozen commercial organizations, and the offices distributed in various places were generally held concurrently by the regional leaders of these commercial organizations, and Hangzhou is no exception.
Li Fa, the boss of the three Li brothers of Furuifeng in Guangzhou, is the manager and treasurer of the new office in Hangzhou.Fu Ruifeng is now divided into three parts according to the region. The Guangdong and Guangxi regions are in charge of the second brother Li Po, and the South China Sea region including Hainan Island is the business scope of the third brother Li Nai.As for the north of Guangdong and Guangxi, the boss Li Fa is in charge of everything.
With Li Fa's status, he also serves as the person in charge of Qiong Lianfa in Hangzhou, which is actually considered a low-ranking and high-ranking job.However, considering the future development prospects of Hangzhou, it is not difficult to understand how much Qiong Lianfa and the Li family attach importance to this place.Moreover, the scale of the office established by Qiong Lianfa in Hangzhou is huge, and the funds and various resources invested are far from comparable to ordinary offices. Only with a prestigious person like Li Fa in charge can the shareholders feel at ease.
These young people are indeed not familiar with Li Fa, but they are familiar with Li Fa's third brother Li Nai.Li Nai visits Sanya almost every year, and has a deep personal relationship with the parents of Ning Zijing and others.
Not to mention Ha Jianyi’s father, Haru Gong, who has served overseas all year round, the other three have known Li Nai since they were very young. Among the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty who visit Sanya every year, Li Nai is one of the few Those who can visit the homes of senior officials of the Executive Committee.
Their fathers and Li Nai were both teachers and friends, and from their generation onwards, when they met Li Nai, they would call him "uncle", so the relationship was extremely close.Speaking of this relationship, after Ning Zijing arrived in Hangzhou, he would naturally be taken care of by Li Fa.
Although Li Fa is not in Hangzhou at this time, judging from the reception level given by Qiong Lianfa, it is very likely that Li Fa has already made arrangements in advance.After all, Qiong Lianfa, as an official partner of Haihan, will also use the official commercial telegraph service to deliver important news for a long time. After Ning Zijing set off from Sanya, Li Fa probably got the news early.
Although there was no host to accompany them, the young people did not feel restrained and enjoyed their first meal after arriving in Hangzhou.Tao Hongfang was careful, and specifically consulted Yang Ji about the official Haihan office in Hangzhou.
After all, several of them have official missions. After arriving in Hangzhou, they must go to the relevant departments to connect with each other. First, inquire about the location of the Yamen and other information, so as to be prepared.
After asking, I learned that Shi Diwen moved the administrative office of the Donghai Region to Hangzhou last year, and temporarily requisitioned the original Zhejiang Sansi Yamen and Hangzhou Fuya as the offices of various departments.After the completion of the new city, it will be decided whether to relocate depending on the progress.However, Shi Diwen himself did not live in Hangzhou, but chose a manor by the West Lake outside the city as his official residence.
