Shen Tong packed up his things in a hurry, went to the driver's class and called his old partner Liu Qitai, and sped up to the highway intersection.
When they arrived at the highway intersection, Liu Haidong's BMW was already parked aside. Shen Tong asked Liu Qitai to wait, walked to Liu Haidong's car, knocked on the glass and asked, "Is there any cigarette in the car?"
Without saying a word, Liu Haidong took out a piece of Zhonghua from the glove box and threw it to Shen Tong. Shen Tong said hurriedly: "You don't need so much, just two packs."
Liu Haidong raised his neck and looked back. He understood Shen Tong's intention and said generously: "Give it to him. It's not easy to take a train with you. I don't need this cigarette."
Shen Tong smiled, picked up the cigarette, walked to Liu Qitai's car, threw the cigarette into the passenger compartment and said: "Old Liu, I was in a hurry this time and forgot to pack a cigarette. Every time I trouble you to follow me out of the car, this You take the cigarette and smoke it."
Shen Tong was very touched when Liu Qitai came to the rescue at the Finance Bureau last time. Since working in the county party committee office, there have been very few people who can be called friends. Nie Shaoxin is one, Zhang Xiaoshi is careless, and Liu Qitai is the third one. Although Liu Qitai is about the same age as his father, at critical moments, Liu Qitai can always step forward and secretly help Shen Tong with his own meager strength, which is really rare.
Liu Qitai had a strong emotional reaction. He hurriedly jumped out of the car and gave Shen Tong a cigarette. He said angrily: "Shen Tong, you are doing this with me. Who do you think I am? Take it back quickly. If so, I will I’m angry.”
Shen Tong smiled and said: "Old Liu, I, Shen Tong, have few people in the county party committee who can look up to me, but you are different. You must take this cigarette today. It is a piece of my heart."
"No, no, it's too expensive." Liu Qitai hurriedly shied away.
Shen Tong winked, threw the cigarette into the car again, and said in a low voice: "Stop nagging, it would be bad if others see it. Okay, I have something urgent to do. Be careful when you go back." After that, , quickly got into Liu Haidong’s car.
Liu Qitai stood there so moved that he refused to leave for a long time. After working as a driver in the county party committee all his life, not many people spoke highly of him. He came when he was needed and waved away when he was not needed. No one looked at him seriously at all. , let alone taking care of him. I didn’t expect Shen Tong to be so kind to me. This person must be someone who will do great things in the future.
In the car, Liu Haidong said: "Secretary Wu is still going to pry open the gap of Provincial Government Secretary-General Pang Huaiyuan this time?"
Shen Tong nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Liu, why do you think Secretary-General Pang is so arrogant? He almost doesn't have enough food, rice, oil and salt. Isn't this official's arrogance too big?"
Liu Haidong stared ahead with his sunglasses on, raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Shen Tong, although I am not in official circles, I have been dealing with officials from all walks of life for many years, and I basically understand all the twists and turns here. .There are only two purposes for communication between people in the officialdom, one is political needs, the other is economic needs, and there is no other purpose."
"Obviously, there is no political need between Pang Huaiyuan and Secretary Wu, so why should they take the initiative to get close to you? This road will not work, only economic needs are left. People are greedy, nothing else. What is the point of being arrogant? , what a detachment, bullshit! They are all a group of hypocrites in wolf's clothing. Spiritual needs are based on material. If there is no material guarantee, how can he satisfy spiritual things. So, greed is human. Weaknesses, as long as you identify the weaknesses and persevere in opening the way, one day you will be able to find a way out."
"However, when giving gifts, you need to pay attention to the method. You have to find out where the person is most itchy and scratch it, and then give it what you like. People always have hobbies. Some people like money, some people like gold bars, and some people like gold bars. If you like antiques, etc., taking the right medicine is the best solution."
Shen Tong was deeply impressed by Liu Haidong's eloquent speech. He simply couldn't believe that this was said by a person who had not graduated from elementary school. After so many years of reading, he might not be able to understand such inscrutable words. It seems that theory must be combined with practice, which is the only way to test the truth.
Shen Tong said with great interest: "Brother Liu, I have a question. Since you are clear about these detours, why doesn't Secretary Wu just let you open the road instead of letting me, a young boy, hit the wall?"
Liu Haidong turned around and said with a smile: "If I were to do this, it would be effortless and I would definitely take down Secretary-General Pang within two days. But I am a businessman and I cannot get too involved in your official affairs. I would treat Wu like this." Being a secretary only has disadvantages, but no advantages. But you are different. You are his secretary and the person around him. You can do much better than me on some things. This is the root of the two of us. Another point, you still can’t see Come out, Secretary Wu trusts you and intends to cultivate you. Let me tell you something you don’t want to hear. I have been with Brother Wu for so many years, and I have never seen him care so much about someone. And you, The first one."
When Liu Haidong said this, Shen Tong felt a little frightened. Secretary Wu had never said these words in front of him. It was obvious that Wu Jiangkai regarded him as his closest "relative" and his most trusted "comrade-in-arms."
Shen Tong nodded and said: "Brother Liu, if I don't understand something in the future, I will have to ask you for advice and you will have to help me more."
Liu Haidong reached out and patted Shen Tong on the shoulder and said: "Don't be so polite between brothers. The difference between people on the same boat is that you are at the bow and I am at the stern. Only if we maintain balance can we survive."
After arriving in Longzhong City, Shen Tong called Xing Lina. Unfortunately, Xing Lina was performing in Beijing and would not come back until the day after tomorrow.
Shen Tong and Liu Haidong exchanged opinions. Liu Haidong patted the steering wheel and said, "Go to the capital!" After that, he started the car and drove to the airport.
On the way, Shen Tong followed Liu Haidong's request and called Xing Lina again to meet in the capital tonight and asked her to book a hotel first. When Xing Lina heard that Shen Tong was so eager to see her, she wanted to refuse, but Thinking that there were still some things to trouble this "fat sheep", I had no choice but to agree.
The time was just right. When we arrived at the airport, we caught a plane bound for the capital and headed straight to the capital.
After arriving on the plane, Shen Tong had the time to take out his mobile phone and look through the unread text messages in the afternoon. The three text messages were all sent by Lan Yue, telling him that everything was settled and not to worry, and also sent him the address of the hospital.
Although the two of them are completely different from each other, Shen Tong is very satisfied to be able to convey his deep love through this warm text. Now he is not flying to the capital. If he has time, he will go to the hospital to see Lan Yue and give her a surprise. .Thinking of this, Shen Tong's heart had already drifted to Lan Yue.
An hour and a half later, the plane landed at the Beijing Airport. Shen Tong and Liu Haidong took a taxi and followed the address provided by Xing Lina.
On the East Second Ring Road, Shen Tong saw the Poly Building in the distance. He called Xing Lina and said that he had arrived at the designated place. That's fine, I'm at the nearby Oriental Theater and will be there soon.
This visit to the capital was the third time. Shen Tong was a little overwhelmed by the bizarre and prosperous capital. He spent all day in the ravines. When he came to the capital, he felt that his horizons were much broader. It made him regret his choice to return to his hometown for development. No wonder Zhao Yitang's My daughter Zhao Huan is unwilling to go back to her life and death. If I stay here, I won't be willing to go back either.
Shen Tong was suddenly worried that Lan Yue would not be willing to go back after studying in the capital for a year. People change with changes in the environment. No one knows what will happen one day.
Shen Tong stood at the door of Poly Building and looked around. He suddenly discovered that not far ahead was the place where Lan Yue studied, the General Hospital of the Beijing Military Region. Shen Tong was immediately excited. It seemed that all this was arranged by God. It would be just in time to get down to business after the discussion. Go see the blue moon.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Shen Tong and Liu Haidong came to the room that Xing Lina had reserved. Liu Haidong took out the menu and ordered the dishes. The waiter kindly reminded: "Hello, sir, Ms. Xing who booked the private room has already ordered the dishes. Please You can take a look. If you need to add dishes, you can always do so."
Liu Haidong and Shen Tong laughed, sighing that Xing Lina was a woman who was on her way. After taking the order menu, Liu Haidong didn't care, which really shocked Shen Tong.
"Golden hook fin in thick soup, Australian abalone with cordyceps, live sea cucumber stewed in clear chicken soup, braised snowy golden dolphin, raced silver sturgeon..." There were only three people eating, so Xing Lina ordered so much in one go, and every dish The dishes are all extremely expensive. At first glance, this meal will cost more than 3,000 yuan.
Liu Haidong said to the waiter gracefully: "Okay, you go down first, I will call you when needed."
After the waiter left, Shen Tong said distressedly: "Brother Liu, this Xing Lina is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. This meal can last me half a year."
Liu Haidong smiled calmly and said: "This Xing Lina is a connoisseur at first glance. The taste and price of the dishes she ordered are commensurate with her status. If she were still an actor today, she would not be willing to bear such luxury. Anyway, she is not spending her own money, no Eat for nothing."
The two waited for more than half an hour before Xing Lina came late. Shen Tong and Liu Haidong stood up to greet her. Xing Lina extended her jade hand enchantingly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. , I just took off my makeup."
Xing Lina wore a low-cut bottoming shirt, half white looming, and an earthy yellow fur-collared short leather jacket. Coupled with her heavy makeup, she looked graceful and wealthy, giving people a sense of distance.
Liu Haidong held Xing Lina's hand for a long time and was unwilling to let go, staring straight at her breasts. Shen Tong quickly reminded her kindly, and then Liu Haidong let go and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
Xing Lina seemed to be used to men being "rude" to her, but she didn't care at all. She elegantly put her bag on the dining table, wiped her skirt with her hands, and sat down.
Liu Haidong said: "I have heard from Shen Tong that Ms.
