After the meeting began, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that he hadn't called He Ying to ask her to buy groceries, so he walked out of the conference room and dialed He Ying's mobile phone number.

After the phone was connected, Lu Tao said with a smile: "Political Commissar He, do you have a party at night? If not, I would like to invite you to my house for dinner and taste my cooking skills." ”

He Ying was stunned for a moment, and asked a little strangely: "Why did you suddenly remember to invite me to dinner?" You helped me a lot last time, and I haven't invited you to dinner yet, otherwise, I'll have a treat in the evening, let's go eat outside!"

"Don't, don't, let's eat it at my house! It's not me bragging: if you eat my fried dish once, you promise to eat it every day in the future. ”

He Ying also laughed and said, "Obviously blew the cowhide into the sky, and said that you didn't brag about the cowhide, and your guy is thick enough." Well, I'll come to your house for dinner in the evening and try how good your cooking is. ”

"There's one more little thing I'd like to ask you for: I'm in the country right now, and I might be back a little later, so I'd like to ask you to take the time to buy me some groceries at the market or supermarket. ”

"It's easy, I'm just going to the supermarket later, so I'll buy it for you on the way. You open a menu for me, and I'll make a note of it. ”

"A pound of beef, a big male fish head, two pounds of pork ribs, a bag of Chinese cabbage, a handful of seaweed, that's all. ”

After hanging up He Ying's phone, Lu Tao walked into the conference room, at this time Secretary Zhou was commenting on the new rural construction work in several villages, and most of the comments were praised, but they were also very pertinent and put forward some critical opinions, such as when commenting on Huaguang Village, he pointed out that the village's plan for developing the village-level economy was relatively empty, the measures were not specific, and the mass work team stationed in the village did not penetrate the masses enough, did not fully grasp the village conditions and public opinion, and did not formulate a feasible assistance plan, and so on.

When hearing this critical comment, Su Yaoguang, who was sitting side by side with Lu Tao, turned his head and stared at him with dissatisfied eyes, and his heart was completely desperate: it seems that Li Weijun's judgment is right, Secretary Zhou has no special relationship with Lu Tao, this kid, and he still criticizes when he should criticize, and it is impossible for the village to become Secretary Zhou's hook and support point......

After commenting on all the villages that have been inspected, the next step is for Secretary Zhou to announce the names of the villages he is about to help. The village party secretary and village director sitting in the audience stretched their necks one by one, their eyes were projected on Secretary Zhou's face, holding their breath and waiting for him to read out the name of the lucky village.

Secretary Zhou first took a sip of tea from the teacup, then glanced at the people in the audience with a majestic gaze, and said slowly: "According to the results of today's investigation and investigation, taking into account various factors, I decided to take Huaguang Village as my hook and support point. In the second half of the year, I will go to Huaguang Village from time to time to conduct investigation and research, and provide some reference opinions for the economic development of the village, coordinate with relevant departments to help the village, and strive to build Huaguang Village into a model village for new rural construction in the province. ”

When they heard the words "Huaguang Village", almost all the people in the audience, including Li Weijun and other town leaders, didn't believe their ears, they were all stunned, they forgot to applaud, and turned their eyes to Su Yaoguang and Su Xiancan, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Luo Qiulin, who was sitting next to Zhou Yihong, couldn't help frowning when he saw that the audience was silent, and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, haven't you all heard Secretary Zhou's words clearly? Secretary Zhou's decision to link up and help Huaguang Village is a huge support and encouragement for the construction of new rural areas in Taolin County and Dalong Town, and is also a huge driving force for us to further do a good job in rural work and speed up the construction of beautiful villages. I propose that everyone thank Secretary Zhou for his wise decision with the warmest applause!"

It was only at this time that the participants reacted and began to applaud warmly with Luo Qiulin.

Su Yaoguang, like everyone else, was stunned when he heard the words "Huaguang Village" at first, as if he was in a dream, until everyone turned their eyes to him and Luo Qiulin emphasized Secretary Zhou's decision, he came to his senses, and suddenly his face was flushed with excitement, and while raising his hand to applaud desperately, he glanced at Lu Tao with a grateful gaze, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many people around him staring at him, he would almost give Lu Tao a big hug on the spot- Because he knows very well: with the hardware and software conditions of Huaguang Village, it is impossible for Secretary Zhou to be identified as a hook and help point. But now this dream has unexpectedly come true, and there is only one reason: Secretary Zhou chose Lu Tao, the person who was stationed in the village to help, instead of Huaguang Village. If Lu Tao is stationed in Shikeng Village, then the village that Secretary Zhou helped must be Shikeng Village......

After the meeting, Zhou Yihong and other city and county leaders drove back to the county seat, and the party secretaries and directors of several other villages surrounded Su Yaoguang and Su Xiancan, and shouted that they would have dinner and smoke at night.

Su Yaoguang was so excited that his face lit up, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't stop thanking everyone, promising to invite everyone to the town for dinner in the evening, and instructed Su Yuejin, the accountant in the village, to buy two "He Tianxia" cigarettes immediately, and distribute them at the dinner table.

Then, Su Yaoguang grabbed Lu Tao's hand and said with a smile: "Cadre Lu, you are a great hero in our village, you are the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Director Xiancan and I want to toast you with a few glasses of wine, and thank you for your contribution to our village." ”

Before Lu Tao could answer, Li Weijun also got down from the rostrum with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Comrade Lu Tao, congratulations on winning Secretary Zhou's hook and support for Huaguang Village. In the evening, I also attended the banquet in the village, and I would like to give you a few glasses of wine, firstly, to congratulate you, and secondly, to apologize for my unfriendly attitude towards you in the previous two days. ”

It turned out that Li Weijun saw that Zhou Yihong finally chose Huaguang Village as his help point, and immediately realized that it was because of Lu Tao, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time nervous and panicked again: It seems that Secretary Zhou really thinks highly of this Lu Tao and loves him a little, even if they don't have a special intimate relationship, but if Lu Tao gets Secretary Zhou's appreciation, it will be just around the corner to soar in the future. And in the past few days, he has offended Lu Tao fiercely, in case he gains power in the future, it will be a huge hidden danger to himself!

So, he immediately made a decisive decision: he must quickly take the initiative to reconcile with Lu Tao, obtain his understanding, and at least persuade him not to hold grudges. Therefore, when he saw that Lu Tao was still in the conference room, he immediately stepped off the rostrum and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Lu Tao, wanting to "laugh and enmity" with him......

Lu Tao was very disgusted with his "chameleon" style, and did not stretch out his hand to shake him, and said coldly: "Secretary Li, I'm very sorry, I have to go back to the county seat to invite people to dinner in the evening, and the toast will be avoided." You are a dignified secretary of the town party committee, and I am just an ordinary clerk who has been punished, and it is natural for you to criticize me a few words, and I can't afford to apologize to me again!"
