Although Zhang Yingzhi had seen Secretary Lu on TV many times, but now talking to him face to face, she still felt a little nervous. There were streams of sweat on her forehead. When answering Secretary Lu's questions, although nothing happened Wrong, but always stuttering, a little incoherent, and evasive, not daring to look at Secretary Lu.
Fortunately, he is very proficient in his business. Although he was relatively panicked, he still grasped the key points during the reporting process. He not only talked about the achievements of the province and Taiwan in the past few years, but also highlighted his development in the province and Taiwan. The contribution he made in the process gave Secretary Lu a preliminary understanding of his abilities.
Secretary Lu didn't care about his panic attitude. On the contrary, he believed that Zhang Yingzhi's panic was a more practical and real manifestation of him. At least, he was sure that he was not the kind of official who liked to show off and talk at length. He is a so-called "official honest man" who works hard and is not good at maneuvering.
Therefore, his overall impression of Zhang Yingzhi was very good. After he answered his questions, he said a few words of encouragement to him, which made Zhang Yingzhi blush with joy, and the happy expression on his face could not be concealed even if he tried to hide it.
Since Ye Ming and the others arrived earlier, many guests had already arrived in the hotel before six o'clock. Xu Lizhong walked to the door and asked the waiter to close the door to avoid being seen by Secretary Lu inside. Eat, attracting crowds of people to watch.
When the food was about to be served, Ye Ming suddenly received a call from Wang Xiuguang, asking him where he was and whether he had eaten. He also said that he would invite him to have dinner with him.
Ye Ming glanced at Secretary Lu and said, "Mayor Wang, I'm having dinner at the Jinqiao Hotel now, and the food is about to be served, so I won't accompany you."
He didn't dare to tell him that he was with Secretary Lu, for fear that he would come over after learning the news.
Secretary Lu heard that it was Wang Xiuguang calling Ye Ming. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said to Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, did Mayor Wang of your K city just call you? If he hasn't eaten yet, call him." Come over and have some food together. I haven’t met him since I came to Tianjiang, so I just want to take this opportunity to get to know him."
It turned out that Secretary Lu had communicated with Secretary Li in the afternoon and learned that Wang Xiuguang had gone to his house for dinner, and that Secretary Li had a good impression of Wang Xiuguang, so he also wanted to meet Ye Ming's parents to observe him. Take a look at his abilities and levels, and find out about his experience and work situation.
Ye Ming knew that the person Wang Xiuguang wanted to see the most was Secretary Lu. Especially after learning that he had been appointed by Secretary Lu to be the director of the Department of Land and Resources, his desire became even stronger. He had dinner at Secretary Li's house at noon. Afterwards, he pulled himself aside and said: During the Spring Festival, he must take himself to see Secretary Lu and express his gratitude to him in person.
Therefore, Ye Ming was very happy when he heard that Secretary Lu offered to see Wang Xiuguang. He quickly dialed Wang Xiuguang's phone number again and said, "Mayor Wang, I am with Secretary Lu now. He heard that you haven't eaten yet, so he wants to see you." Come over and have a meal together and get to know you. You haven’t made an appointment with anyone else, so it won’t be convenient for you to come over.”
Wang Xiuguang made an "ah" sound on the phone and was stunned for a moment before asking in a trembling voice: "Brother, is it true? Secretary Lu really asked me to come over and have dinner with you. Okay, okay, I'll come right away."
In fact, Wang Xiuguang had dinner with his old classmate Liang Lunjiang, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Director Wang of the Cadre Department, Director Li of the Team Leader Department, and others tonight. He just called Ye Ming. , asking him to go to dinner with him was also a kind intention. He wanted to introduce Vice Minister Liang, Director Wang, Director Li and others to Ye Ming, and also disclosed Ye Ming's relationship and background to these people in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in a timely manner. Listen personally, let them remember Ye Ming in the future, and accumulate more high-level connections for his future career promotion.
At this moment, he heard Ye Ming say that Secretary Lu called him over for dinner, so he didn't care about Director Liang, Director Wang, and Director Li. At the same time, he didn't dare to drive there by himself, for fear that Secretary Lu would be offended, because according to the According to regulations, leading cadres are not allowed to drive by themselves. However, this time he came to the provincial capital to do extremely secretive things, so he did not bring a secretary or a driver, but drove here himself.
Therefore, as soon as he received Ye Ming's call, he quickly ran to the road to hail a taxi and called Liang Lunjiang anxiously: "Minister Liang, I'm so sorry. I have something very urgent at the moment, so today I can't accompany you and Director Wang and Director Li to dinner tonight. As for the reason, I will tell you later. I am really sorry. Please forgive me and Director Wang and Director Li. I will ask you again at noon tomorrow. You and the two division chiefs will apologize to the three negotiators when the time comes."
Because Secretary Lu was calling him to eat, he did not dare to reveal the news to Minister Liang and others, so he had to vaguely say that he had something very urgent.
Liang Lunjiang knew that Wang Xiuguang was a very trustworthy person. If he broke the appointment at the last minute, he must have urgent matters, so he said very understandingly: "Xiu Guang, you go and do your business first. Xiao Wang and Xiao Li are here. I'll explain it to you, and you don't have to call them yourself,"
Wang Xiuguang thanked Liang Lunjiang and urged the taxi driver to rush to the Jinqiao Hotel as quickly as possible. In order to save time and encourage the driver to speed up, he simply took out 100 yuan in advance and handed it to the driver. I asked him to stop looking and take the nearest road to the hotel as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, money can make a fool of himself, and Wang Xiuguang's one hundred yuan came into play. Originally, it usually took about fifteen minutes to get from the Shenlong Hotel to the Jinqiao Hotel, but the driver didn't take the main road and walked through the streets. He drove the car very fast and drove Wang Xiuguang to his destination in just over eight minutes.
When Wang Xiuguang opened the box door with sweating profusely and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face of Secretary Lu, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself and almost burst into tears...
Like Zhang Yingzhi, Secretary Lu also briefly chatted with him, Wang Xiuguang, for a while and asked about some situations in K City. Through Wang Xiuguang's answers and words and deeds, he also made a preliminary judgment about him, and felt that Li Runji was not wrong about this. Wang Xiuguang does have some talent, and his character is quite upright, making him a good cadre.
When the waiter served the dishes, Secretary Lu just glanced at the dishes, then turned to Ye Ming with a smile and said: "Xiaoye, this dish should be what you ordered. It's not bad. I'm the real tooth-beating festival tonight." Yes, hahaha,"
