Chen Pei was noncommittal to Li Tao's words, and asked: "Is Li Chu free tonight? If you are free, I would like to invite you to the Crown Hotel for a glass of wine, which is a treat from the Taolin County Finance Bureau." ”

Li Tao saw that Chen Pei personally invited him to drink, which was the first time in the world, and he happily replied without thinking about it: "If you are free, of course you are free." Pei Pei invited me to drink, even if there is other entertainment, I will definitely shirk it, hahaha!"

Chen Pei smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, took Lu Tao's hand and said goodbye to him, and the two of them came to the door of Fang Xin's office together, Chen Pei raised his hand and knocked on the closed door a few times, but no one answered inside.

Chen Pei took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, only to hear the landline ringing of "Tick Ring" faintly coming from the office.

Lu Tao was wondering how Chen Pei dialed the landline in Fang Xin's office, when he suddenly heard the bell inside stop, followed by the enthusiastic voice of a middle-aged man: "Pei Pei, is there something wrong with me?"

Chen Pei smiled and said, "Fang, I'm at the door of your office, and I want to trouble you with something." ”

Lu Tao suddenly realized: because there were too many people looking for Fang Xin during this time, he simply locked himself in the office. If a leader, subordinate or someone who is particularly close to him comes to him, he will naturally call him, and if someone who comes to ask him to do something knocks on the door, he will not be silent, so that they think that he is not in the office, which can avoid a lot of tongue and trouble......

As soon as he thought of this, he heard the sound of footsteps in the office, and soon, the door of the office was opened, and a man in his forties, wearing a white shirt, straight trousers, and a pair of gold tortoiseshell glasses, looked very energetic, very neat, and graceful, stood at the door with a smile, and waved his hand sideways to signal Chen Pei to go inside, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Pei Pei, it is rare for you to come to my office, welcome!"

After entering the office, Fang Xin invited Chen Pei and Lu Tao to sit down on the sofa, and made tea for them, then turned his eyes to Lu Tao, quickly glanced at him a few times, the smile on his face did not decrease, and asked, "This handsome guy is——"

Chen Pei hurriedly replied: "Fang, this is my college classmate Lu Tao, who is from the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, and I came to the provincial department today to do some business." ”

Fang Xin was a little surprised and asked: "Xiao Lu is from the Local Taxation Bureau, and he is not in the Provincial Bureau, what are you doing with us?"

Chen Pei told the Taolin County Finance Bureau about asking Lu Tao to help fight for the provincial financial subsidy target for the construction of a new countryside in a poor village.

Fang Xin didn't ask Chen Pei's thoughts directly like Li Tao, but glanced at Lu Tao, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Pei Pei, the people from the Taolin County Bureau found Comrade Li Tao in the morning, and they first applied for a subsidy of 10 million yuan, saying that we promised them at the beginning of the year, but I didn't know about it, and no one told me about it. When I asked Comrade Li Tao, he said that it was only a verbal promise and had not been studied and discussed in the department. Later, the people of the Taolin County Finance Bureau retreated to the next best thing, saying that they wanted to carry out a subsidy target for the construction of a new countryside in a poor village, but Comrade Li Tao had clearly replied to them that the quota had already been allocated, so this matter was a bit difficult to handle. ”

Lu Tao saw that when he talked about the promise of 10 million yuan, he never mentioned the name of the former director Feng Linfeng, and knew that he was a powerful character who was thoughtful and talked and did things well, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Chen Pei to see what she said.

Chen Pei just smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, but asked softly: "Fang, do you have any entertainment tonight?" If there is no other entertainment, I would like to invite you to the Crown Hotel for a glass of wine. However, this meal is a treat from the Taolin County Finance Bureau, and I understand if you feel inconvenient or embarrassed. ”

Fang Xin pondered for a moment again, and replied: "Pei Pei, I did promise a friend to go to dinner in the evening, or I will call him later, if he has nothing important to tell me, I will push away from there and go to the Crown Hotel, and I will call you to tell you before I get off work." ”

Chen Pei said "um" and got up to say goodbye to Fang Xin.

On the way back to Chen Pei's office, Lu Tao looked around at no one, lowered his voice and asked, "Pei Pei, will Director Fang attend our banquet in the evening?" Also, at noon, you told me that he was going to give you a mobile indicator, why didn't he just agree to give you that indicator, but told you a lot of difficulties?"

Chen Pei smiled slightly and said: "Fang is different from Li, he is the leader of the budget department, he will definitely consider the problem more carefully and cautiously, and he will not easily agree to other people's requests for dinner." I can tell you: Fang Chu definitely didn't have any friends to invite him at night, and that was just an excuse. If I had invited him alone just now, he would have said yes, but because you were by my side, and you were also from Taolin County, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between me and you was, so he found an excuse to prevaricate, the purpose was to tell you: He is not so easy to move. Don't worry, when it's half past five, he'll call me and tell me that he's going to go to the Crown Hotel with me. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man happened to walk past them and greeted Chen Pei very warmly, Chen Pei responded to him with a smile, turned his head and sent him away, and then continued to whisper: "As for the problem of the mobility indicator you mentioned, the reason is the same: he did personally call me to ask if I wanted a mobility index, and if I asked him for it, he would indeed give it to me." However, because you are by my side, he doesn't know if I told you about it, and for the sake of prudence, he can only tell me about the difficulty of fighting for the indicator, and will not take the initiative to mention the maneuver indicator. I guessed what he was thinking, so I didn't say anything about the indicators. I guess as soon as we leave the Commissioner's office, he will call Li Tao to discuss the matter. ”

Chen Pei's guess was correct, when she and Lu Tao left the director's office, Fang Xin immediately dialed Li Tao's mobile phone number, first asked if he was alone in the office, and asked: "Lao Li, just now Pei Pei brought a cadre from the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau to me, saying that it was her college classmate, have they looked for you?"

"They took a look at my office and invited me to dinner at the Crown Hotel in the evening with someone from the Taolin County Finance Bureau. Peipei's meaning is also very clear, that is, she wants to strive for a provincial financial subsidy target for the construction of a new countryside in a poor village for Taolin County. That's probably what they're looking for you!"

Fang Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Pei Pei didn't make a clear request, but since she brought her classmates here and invited us to the banquet, this must be what she meant." By the way, what is the relationship between that boy surnamed Lu and Pei Pei?"
