Chapter 183 The other side of Peng Yuanzheng (first update)
Chapter 183 The other side of Peng Yuanzheng
It was close to noon when Peng Yuanzheng and Li Xueyan arrived at the provincial capital. "".
Their car was waiting in the parking lot of the square opposite the entrance of the provincial government compound. Li Xueyan and Leng Lili made an appointment to meet at 12 noon and have dinner together.
The incident happened suddenly. In order to solve the problem, Peng Yuanzheng decided not to meet with the people from the Construction Department for the time being, but to find someone to smooth things over and find out about the situation, so as not to have to talk to him face to face, and there would be no room for maneuver.
Li Xueyan stood anxiously on one side, staring at the heavily guarded gate of the provincial government compound. Officials from the provincial government came in and out, except for Leng Lili, whom she hoped to see.
Peng Yuanzheng stood on the other side with a calm expression, habitually lighting up a cigarette, frowning slightly, and thinking about the problem. He is not a heavy smoker, but it has become a habit of thinking about problems.
Seeing Li Xueyan milling around, impatient, Peng Yuanzheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xueyan, don't be anxious. No matter how anxious you are, you still have to wait for others to get off work. It's not even o'clock yet, and you should be down soon."
"
Li Xueyan looked back at Peng Yuanzheng and sighed, "Yuanzheng, logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Lili's husband is the secretary of the provincial leader. He is very highly regarded by the leader. He is also considered the number one figure in the compound of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government.
A 28-year-old deputy director-level cadre has a bright future, how could he fail to handle such a trivial matter?"
"We can't figure out the specific situation right now. But I guess that either Ouyang Xuhong didn't bother to handle it, or there was something wrong with the Construction Department." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, "Wait until she comes out and ask about the situation.
Say it again."
"No. Lili told me last night that Ouyang Xuhong personally called a director of the Construction Department. The director has a good relationship with him. There is no reason why our small project in a township cannot be handled properly.
If we want to make things difficult, I think the provincial government agencies won’t make things difficult for us as a township, right?”
Li Xueyan's pretty eyebrows were wrinkled. She was about to say a few more words when suddenly she spotted Leng Lili walking out of the door from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help raising her hand and shouting with a smile, "Lili! Lili! I'm here!"
Leng Lili is wearing a light gray professional suit, with shawl hair, and her appearance is not very outstanding, but her facial features are exquisite and her temperament is elegant. ("".) At the same time, she has a good figure, with well-proportioned bumps, and the charm of a young woman is fully demonstrated.
Leng Lili smiled and waved to Li Xueyan, Yingying crossed the road and walked over slowly.
The two women were both a little excited to see each other and hugged each other tightly. They were best friends in college and their relationship was not mixed with worldly things. They hadn't seen each other for more than two years, so they were naturally very affectionate.
Li Xueyan introduced with a smile, "Lili, this is Mayor Peng of our town, Peng Yuanzheng!"
Leng Lili looked at Peng Yuanzheng with a smile, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she smiled and stretched out her hand, "Hello, Mayor Peng, I have admired your name for a long time. I read about you in the newspaper years ago!
A great talent admired by central leaders and a rising star in Xin'an City!"
"Chief Leng received the award. I'm not a talented person. I'm just a township mayor, a low-ranking official. If I were placed in the courtyard of your provincial party committee and provincial government, I wouldn't even be able to take my turn in the queue, haha." Peng Yuanzheng
It was a half-joke, and the smile was far from sincere, but at least it was polite enough.
He shook hands with Leng Lili and exchanged a few words. He was polite, neither humble nor arrogant, and his demeanor left a deep impression on Leng Lili.
"Section Chief Leng, we came in a hurry and didn't have any preparations - I just took a look and there is a Mona Lisa Western Restaurant over there. I would like to ask Chief Leng and Director Ouyang to show your respect. Let's go over and have something to eat?"
"Peng Yuanzheng's words made Li Xueyan startled. Didn't he think that he had agreed to treat Leng Lili and his wife to dinner in the VIP building at the back, so why did it suddenly change to a Western restaurant?
Leng Lili was also a little surprised, but she nodded with a smile, "Xueyan and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We must have a meal together at noon - since Mayor Peng is treating us, I won't be polite."
After saying that, Leng Lili added, "Let's go there first. Ouyang will have to wait a little later. If the leader takes a rest, he can come down. ("".) Let's eat ours first and ignore him."
As she spoke, Leng Lili walked back to the gate of the provincial government compound, made a call to Ouyang Xuhong from the guard room, and told her where to eat - the "Mona Lisa Western Restaurant" diagonally opposite the government compound.
Li Xueyan turned to look at Peng Yuanzheng and said in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly change your place?"
"I see that this female classmate of yours has a very petty bourgeois temperament, and I had an idea, haha. This Western restaurant is very close, and it is easy for the couple to come and go." Peng Yuanzheng smiled.
"What a petty bourgeois sentiment. She is very simple and doesn't like Huahua Weiwei." Li Xueyan spat, "You are just guessing."
"Xueyan, now and then, don't always look at her with the eyes of your college days... I can't be wrong. Western food and coffee will definitely suit her appetite." Peng Yuanzheng saw Peng Lili leaving.
When I came back, I stopped talking.
…
…
The three of them entered the Tianya Haijiao Western Restaurant and chose a quiet private room on the second floor. The decoration of the private room belonged to the romantic style of Western classicism, with both ambiguous sentiment and elegant style. Most of the people who came to the Western restaurant to eat were obviously "lovers".
At the same time, the consumer group belongs to the wealthy and leisure class. The combination of ambiguity and elegance shows that the owner of this restaurant is very smart and tasteful.
Candlesticks, red wine, steak, coffee, floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful Western-style window screens give diners a Western-style dreamlike feeling.
Looking at Leng Lili's familiar appearance, Li Xueyan realized that Peng Yuanzheng was indeed right. Leng Lili must often come here to eat. This outspoken, simple girl in the past has completely transformed into a petty bourgeois young woman, far from what she used to be.
Comparable.
For a moment, Li Xueyan felt strange and alienated from Leng Lili. But in fact, Li Xueyan was almost "blank" about the things that Leng Lili liked and cared about. Instead, it was Peng Yuanzheng chatting and laughing with Leng Lili.
They have a common language.
Li Xueyan sat aside, listening with some depression as the two talked about entertainment gossip and fashion trends, such as listening to the Book of Heaven, but she couldn't get in the middle even if she wanted to.
She joined the township government after graduating from college, and devoted herself to officialdom and political and economic fields. She was a complete rookie in entertainment and fashion.
Peng Yuanzheng and Leng Lili became more and more interested in talking, and they were very excited. Finally, they even talked about English, and the topic expanded to the luxury brand field that Li Xueyan was more confused about. From red wine to perfume, from women's clothing to men's ties, the conversation was very interesting.
fiery.
Li Xueyan sighed secretly. She did not expect that Leng Lili would become like this now, nor did she expect that Peng Yuanzheng, who looked very traditional and serious, actually had another side to his personality that was free and unrestrained - what made her even more incredible was that
, how does he know this?!
Peng Yuanzheng and Leng Lili were chatting in a lively manner. It wasn't until Leng Lili's husband Ouyang Xuhong arrived that they stopped their endless chatter. In fact, it was just chatter, but this kind of "just go with what others like" chatter.
The original sense of alienation and strangeness was quickly eliminated.
Ouyang Xuhong is not very tall, but he has good facial features and a calm demeanor. He is a government cadre at first glance. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with Peng Yuanzheng and Li Xueyan and exchanged greetings.
"The name of Mayor Peng has been well-known to me in the provincial government for a long time. I remember that at a meeting of government cadres after the year, Secretary-General Dongfang of the Provincial Party Committee also mentioned Mayor Peng's name and said that Mayor Peng's theoretical level was
Very high..." Ouyang Xuhong's voice is very gentle and soft. This tone of voice is related to the fact that he has been working next to leaders all year round.
"Director Ouyang is so polite, I don't have any theoretical level..." Peng Yuanzheng shook hands with Ouyang Xuhong enthusiastically, and the relationship between the two people was brought closer with a few words.
Li Xueyan watched in amazement. It was only now that she truly understood Peng Yuanzheng's level of speaking and doing things. It was not leaking. It was not that he was very eloquent, but that he spoke to the point. He did not say a "nice word" or flattery, but
It makes people feel very talkative.
This level has reached a certain level.
Li Xueyan didn't know that Peng Yuanzheng, whom she knew more and more deeply in her heart, had decades of experience and hardships in the past and present life. If he wanted to be "mellow", then all the sharp edges would be lost.
Hidden without revealing any flaws.
Therefore, while Peng Yuanzheng was going to the bathroom, Leng Lili and Ouyang Xuhong made completely different evaluations of Peng Yuanzheng from their own perspectives:
"Xueyan, Peng is graceful, tasteful, and well-educated. He is definitely the best of the best. You come first, first to the first, but you have to hurry up!" Leng Lili raised her thumb to Li Xueyan, her eyes flashing.
A hint of ambiguity.
Li Xueyan blushed and was about to say something when Ouyang Xuhong laughed and said, "Mayor Peng's conversational style is extraordinary. He makes me feel more like a county magistrate than a town magistrate!"
…
…
"Mayor Peng, to be honest, I called you before about your matter, and I felt that there shouldn't be any problem." Ouyang Xuhong pondered for a moment, then smiled, "But something happened. I heard what Lili said.
Afterwards, I learned from the side that it should be the director of the township construction department who is blocking it. Your materials are still with him and the procedures have not been followed."
"It can be considered an oversight on my part." Ouyang Xuhong smiled apologetically and added, "I forgot a key issue: there is a small conflict between the person I am looking for and the person in charge of this matter... Haha,
So something happened.”
"But, it doesn't matter, let's think of a solution." Ouyang Xuhong said this and stopped talking.
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and listened. In fact, he now knew very well that even if he knew where the "joint" of the problem was, given Ouyang Xuhong's identity, he would not go to the Construction Department again.
If you want to get things done, you can only go to the director of the township construction department; but if you go to this director, you will offend the relationship you were looking for before.
From Ouyang Xuhong's point of view, it is not worth offending a relationship for such a small project.
