At the door of the kitchen, Liu Ruofei's face turned back with embarrassment. Chen Xiaoning said with a smile: "Boss, I'm sorry, we didn't mean it. It was your phone that rang twice and we didn't dare to answer it."

Xiang Tianliang came out quickly. He temporarily took away their mobile phones and also cut off the landline phone in the room. His mobile phone was now the only external communication tool.

The call was from Yu Deyun, director of the department office.

Yu Deyun made an appointment with Xiang Tianliang to meet at the Starlight Coffee Shop of the Starlight Hotel.

Turning off the phone, Xiang Tianliang said to himself: "Damn it, even he jumped out."

Chen Xiaoning said: "Yu Deyun is nicknamed 'Cold Face' and is the most unpredictable person in the organization department."

"Do you think I should go or not?" Xiang Tianliang asked.

Liu Ruofei smiled and said, "Since you agreed, you must go."

At this time, Gu Xiuyun came out of the kitchen, wearing only a shirt. "Boss, you have to be careful. Yu Deyun is the former old minister. He is going crazy if he wants to be the deputy minister. There is no good feast." , I dare say it must be the Hongmen Banquet."

Xiang Tianliang nodded and said with a smile: "I think so. I have been in the Organization Department for a month, and he has not looked at me more than ten times. What he has said to me in total is definitely not a hundred words."

Chen Xiaoning laughed, "The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the rooster. It's not a good intention."

"Haha, am I a chicken?" Xiang Tianliang grinned happily.

Gu Xiuyun said: "Xiao Ning is right. As the saying goes, a dog that doesn't bark is the best at biting people. It's people like Yu Deyun."

No matter what, I must go.

Xiang Tianliang was ready, and when he came to the garage and was about to get in the car, Liu Ruofei came over.

She blushed before she opened her mouth. Among the three women, Liu Ruofei was the most reserved, "I think... I want to go home. At home... my clothes are confiscated and the windows are not closed..."

Xiang Tianliang smiled softly and said, "Sister Liu, you want to wait for me in the car for two hours, okay?"

"Yeah." Liu Ruofei nodded.

"Then go." Xiang Tianliang thought to himself, it was just a good time to "communicate" with Liu Ruofei alone and cultivate her bravery in "that aspect".

Half an hour later, the car parked on the boulevard near the Starlight Hotel. Xiang Tianliang bought bread and beef for Liu Ruofei, locked the car door, and walked slowly towards the Starlight Hotel.

It was dinner time, and there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going in front of the hotel.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor, Xiang Tianliang found room No. 613.

Xiang Tianliang took out the voice recorder out of habit, pressed the record button, inserted it into his shirt pocket, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Yu Deyun was the only one in the room.

Seeing Xiang Tianliang, Yu Deyun showed a rare smile and stood up to greet him.

Xiang Tianliang thought to himself, if you show courtesy for nothing, you will be stolen or stolen, so you should really be careful.

The conversation started in a pleasant atmosphere.

Xiang Tianliang: "Director Yu, you are too polite. I should invite you."

Yu Deyun: "This is completely exaggerated."

Xiang Tianliang: "Oh."

Yu Deyun: "We are all colleagues and we are at the dinner table. Are your words appropriate?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Oh... Lao Yu."

Yu Deyun: "That's right."

Xiang Tianliang: "Haha...a little, a little bit wrong."

Yu Deyun: "I am in the right place and you are in the second place, just one step away."

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Yu, are you very humorous?"

Yu Deyun: “It’s not like the legendary ‘cold face’.”

Xiang Tianliang: "It's not the same."

Yu Deyun: "What do you think of the nickname 'cold face'?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Well...not bad, very vivid."

Yu Deyun: "What about you, do you have a nickname?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Yes, there are too many."

Yu Deyun: "Tell me."

Xiang Tianliang: "When I was a child, my family called me country boy."

Yu Deyun: "The custom in rural areas is that it is easier to make a living if you are famous and humble."

Xiang Tianliang: “When I was in high school, my female classmates called me Toad.”

Yu Deyun: "Why is that?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Because I wanted to be the squad leader, but after three years, I have always been the deputy squad leader."

Yu Deyun: "Oh, that's right."

Xiang Tianliang: "It's funny, it's funny."

Yu Deyun: "This is nothing."

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Yu, come to me and discuss nicknames."

Yu Deyun: "Of course not."

Xiang Tianliang: "Something's wrong."

Yu Deyun: "Something's wrong."

Xiang Tianliang: "Please tell me."

Yu Deyun: "What is your impression of the Organization Department?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Not good."

Yu Deyun: “I just want to be a temporary worker.”

Xiang Tianliang: "Yes."

Yu Deyun: "What a pity, you should stay."

Xiang Tianliang: "I'm not used to it, it's not as free as below."

Yu Deyun: "That's true. The characteristics of the agency are seriousness and machinery, with too many frames."

Xiang Tianliang: "Yes, I still hope to return to Qinghe."

Yu Deyun: "Minister Gao will be willing to let you go."

Xiang Tianliang: "We have an appointment."

Yu Deyun: "Oh, I really can't stay."

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Yu, you have an idea."

Yu Deyun: "If you have an idea, I would also like to transfer you to the department office."

Xiang Tianliang: "Mud can't hold up the wall."

Yu Deyun: "Xiao Xiang, I'm serious. The Ministry Office currently has one principal and two deputy directors, and there is still one deputy director missing."

Xiang Tianliang: "Thank you, Lao Yu."

Yu Deyun: "Consider it."

Xiang Tianliang: "Yeah... OK, I'll think about it."

Yu Deyun: "Then I also want to thank you for your trust."

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Yu, I have something to ask you."

Yu Deyun: "Say."

Xiang Tianliang: "Taboo topics are okay too."

Yu Deyun: "Actually, I don't have any taboos."

Xiang Tianliang: "I just want to ask why you didn't leave after the old minister retired."

Yu Deyun: "This matter is difficult to explain in one sentence, but the main responsibility lies with me."

Xiang Tianliang: "Really?"

Yu Deyun: "To tell you the truth, I wanted to make progress on the spot, but everything turned out to be the opposite."

Xiang Tianliang: "I have heard that in the first committee and the three departments under the party committee, deputy positions are rarely promoted on the spot."

Yu Deyun: "Yes, for the position of deputy minister, there are really not many people who are directly promoted from various departments."

Xiang Tianliang: "Yes, usually you are promoted from the department level below, or you are asked to go down and train for a few years before you are promoted."

Yu Deyun: "I wanted to omit the link you mentioned, but it ended up being self-defeating."

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Yu, you still have the advantage of age. Do you still have a chance?"
