Chapter 212: Earning Face

Lu Tao knows very well: because of Chen Pei's special family background and the key position of "head of the county and township group of the budget department of the Department of Finance", as long as he goes on a business trip to a certain place, he will become the focus of the local financial department and even local party and government leaders. This time she came to Songshan City on a business trip, although it was likely to be a fake public and private, and she wanted to find an excuse to go to Taolin to celebrate her birthday, but she still received great attention from the Municipal Finance Bureau, so as soon as she arrived in Taolin, Cai Changming got the news and immediately tracked it down......

"Director Cai, your news is really well-informed, Pei Pei has indeed come to my house. Are you looking for her?"

Cai Changming laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Brother, last time we went to the provincial department to seek subsidy funds, Section Chief Chen helped us a lot, and I have always remembered it. I remember the last time Section Chief Chen told us that she would find a chance to come to Taolin to play once, and I said at that time that if she came to Taolin County, she must remember to tell me and let me do my best to be a landlord. Now that she's really here, I want to fulfill my promise to invite you to dinner with her in the evening, how about it?"

Lu Tao glanced at Chen Pei and replied, "Director Cai, I can't call the shots for Pei Pei, or I'll give her the phone, and you can invite her personally!"

"Okay, okay, please give her the phone, I'll do it. ”

Lu Tao handed the mobile phone to Chen Pei and whispered, "Director Cai of the County Finance Bureau, please answer the phone." ”

Chen Pei frowned, took the mobile phone, and after listening to Cai Changming's words, he said very euphemistically: "Director Cai, thank you for your kind invitation, but now that Lu Tao has a lot of guests at home, he will definitely not be able to get out, and I don't want to come out to eat alone, or let's make an appointment next time!"

Cai Changming didn't know what he said on the phone, Chen Pei just said "um" twice, and then handed the phone back to Lu Tao.

Lu Tao put the microphone to his ear, only to hear Cai Changming say: "Xiao Lu, since Section Chief Chen is unwilling to go out to eat alone, then I will call Xia Bingbing now, and we will rush to your house immediately and meet Section Chief Chen first." If you don't mind, Bingbing and I, on behalf of the County Finance Bureau, invite Section Chief Chen and your relatives to have a meal, how about it?"

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Director Cai, if you and Chief Xia come to my house to play, I warmly welcome you, but I have already arranged dinner, otherwise you and Chief Xia will come over to meet Pei Pei, and then we will go to dinner together, but I don't want you to have a treat, okay?"

Cai Changming's purpose was to meet Chen Pei and deepen his impression in her mind, as for who invited him to dinner, it was secondary, so after hearing Lu Tao's proposal, he said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll call Bingbing over right away." ”

About twenty minutes later, Lu Tao picked up Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing at the elevator on the ninth floor, and led them into the living room. Chen Pei greeted them at the door of the living room, smiling and greeting them.

Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing both carried a bag in their hands, put the bag down after entering the living room, and shook hands with Chen Pei with a smile on their faces.

After Lu Tao waited for Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing to greet Chen Pei, he took them to the center of the living room and introduced them to his relatives: "This is Director Cai of our Taolin County Finance Bureau, and this lady is the head of the Budget Unit of the County Finance Bureau. ”

Tian Guodong and others heard that this man and woman were the director of the Taolin County Finance Bureau and the head of the budget unit, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and they stood up one after another, and under Lu Tao's introduction, they shook hands with Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing one by one and said hello.

At this time, Tian Guodong suddenly had a huge question in his heart: Obviously, the man and woman who had just come in were coming for Lu Tao's female classmate surnamed Chen, which can be judged from their warm and respectful attitude towards this girl surnamed Chen. Now, however, Lu Tao said that this man is the director of the county finance bureau and the woman is the head of the budget unit, so what is the origin of this girl surnamed Chen? Why did the dignified director of the county finance bureau and the head of the budget unit come to visit her in person as soon as she came?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but set his eyes on Chen Pei, and after staring at her for a few moments, he said to Lu Tao with a smile: "Xiao Tao, when you introduced your classmates just now, you only told us our names, and we didn't know anything else. I would like to ask: Where is this Ms. Chen from?

Lu Tao originally didn't want to tell him about Chen Pei's identity and occupation about these snobbish relatives, but he didn't expect Tian Guodong to take the initiative to ask, so he had to answer: "Uncle, Pei Pei said that he is from Shaxing City, works in the Provincial Department of Finance, and is the head of the county and township group of the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance. ”

Tian Guodong heard that Chen Pei was the head of the county and township group of the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance, and couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking that it was no wonder that the director of the Finance Bureau of Taolin County came to visit this girl, it turned out that she was the leader of the most important department of the Provincial Department of Finance!

As soon as he thought of this, Cai Changming added with a smile on the side: "Township Chief Tian, Section Chief Chen's father is Deputy Secretary Chen of the Provincial Party Committee, don't you know?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Tian Guodong, Tian Guoliang, Tian Guoyong and others were so surprised that their mouths opened, but even Lu Tao's mother and sister were taken aback, and all the eyes in the room focused on Chen Pei, who had a calm face......

At this moment, Lu Tao's phone rang, and it was Du Xiaoyu calling: "Brother, I have already arranged it here, and I have booked the largest box in O'Neill Seafood City, which can seat more than 20 people, and I have also ordered the dishes, mainly seafood." Also, I thought about it for a while, wait a minute, your relatives will definitely have to drink, so don't drive their cars over, I want Brother Song to arrange a few cars to come and pick you up. How many people do you have over there? Is five cars enough?"

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, what's so embarrassing about this? Why don't we take a taxi over, it's not good to always trouble Brother Song." ”

Du Xiaoyu whispered: "Brother, don't be surprised if I say something: those relatives in your hometown seem to be a little snobbish, so I specially arranged the dinner party in the seafood restaurant and ordered all the best dishes here, just to earn you some face." Also, I specially told Brother Song and asked him to arrange a few good cars to pick you up, and the purpose was the same, that is, to let your relatives not underestimate you. ”

Lu Tao didn't expect her to be so sensitive and careful, she actually saw the snobbish side of her relatives, and tried her best to earn face for herself, she couldn't help but be a little moved, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, thank you." ”

"Thank you, by the way, what kind of wine will you drink later? white wine or red wine? Ask your relatives, and I'll arrange it." ”

Lu Tao hurriedly turned his head and asked Tian Guodong: "Uncle, what kind of wine are we drinking later?"

Before Tian Guodong could answer, Cai Changming immediately said, "Xiao Lu, we brought a few bottles of wine, but I don't know if it's enough." ”

As he spoke, he said to Xia Bingbing Nunu. Xia Bingbing hurriedly picked up a bag placed on the ground and put it on the table, opened the mouth of the bag, and there were four bottles of Moutai inside.
