Lu Tao heard Lin Hua say that he was going to invite Director Yuan from the Supervision Office to come over for dinner, and remembered that he was about to consult the disciplinary appeal and administrative reconsideration later, if Director Yuan was willing to come over, he could just ask him for advice, and maybe he could also ask him to say hello to the leaders of the Songshan City Local Taxation Bureau and ask them to help overturn the punishment decision on him......

So, he hurriedly said to Lin Hua: "Section Chief Lin, if Director Yuan is willing to come over and eat with us, then of course it's the best, I can't ask for it!"

"Well, I'll try!"

After hanging up Lin Hua's phone, Lu Tao got up from the bed, hurriedly washed up, went downstairs and took a taxi and went straight to the hotel designated by Lin Hua.

Entering the "Qingxi Source Native Restaurant", Lu Tao booked a small box, then ordered a few Qingxi specialties, and sat in the box waiting for Lin Hua and Director Yuan to come over.

After waiting for a few minutes, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was Chen Pei calling: "Lu Tao, where are you and that classmate having dinner? Do you want me to come over?"

Lin Hua considered that Director Yuan was coming over, and if Chen Pei was there, he might be a little warmer and closer to him, so he smiled and said: "We made an appointment to eat in a small alley west of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, and the name of the restaurant is 'Qingxi Yuan Tu Restaurant'." My classmate said that he might invite Director Yuan, the leader of their supervision office, to come over for dinner, and Director Yuan is also a native of our Qingxi County. If you don't bother, please come over for dinner! However, the taste of our food in Qingxi County is relatively heavy and spicy, I don't know if you can eat it? haha!"

Chen Pei also laughed and said: "My hometown is from Chongqing Province, and the taste of the dishes is mainly spicy. ”

A few minutes after twelve, Lin Hua appeared at the door of the box, shook hands with Lu Tao very warmly, and said in a regretful tone: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, Director Yuan said that he had something at home at noon and couldn't come over to eat together." He also said that since you are a native of Qingxi County, you are welcome to go to his office to play when you go to the provincial bureau to do business in the future. ”

Lu Tao knew that Director Yuan was self-conscious, and he didn't want to go out to eat with his subordinates casually, let alone get acquainted with himself, a fellow who worked in the local taxation bureau of a small county, Lin Hua's last two sentences were mostly added by him temporarily in order to comfort himself, and Director Yuan probably didn't say anything about inviting himself to his office to play......

However, thinking about it, Lu Tao did not show a half-unhappy expression on the surface, and said "understand, understand" again and again, and expressed his gratitude to Director Yuan for the "invitation" that may not exist, and then warmly invited Lin Hua to sit down.

Lin Hua took a sip of the teacup on the table, and asked with a smile: "Is the dish ordered?" There are only two of us, don't make too many dishes, just three dishes at most." ”

When talking to Lu Tao on the phone just now, although Lin Hua verbally politely said that he would invite a guest, in fact, he did not mean to invite a guest: in his mind, although he and Lu Tao have a similar temperament and temperament, and the two of them also formed a deep friendship in the pre-job training class three years ago, but after all, he is now working in the provincial bureau, and he was promoted to the position of Zhengke in the past few months, and this time it was Lu Tao who took the initiative to invite him to dinner, and it was natural for him to treat him. Therefore, he told Lu Tao at this moment that he should not order too many dishes, which means that Lu Tao will be the host......

Lu Tao didn't think about it so much, and when he heard Lin Hua say that there were only two people to eat, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lin Ke, I forgot to tell you: wait a minute, I have another college classmate who wants to come over for dinner together, and ordering three dishes will definitely be less." ”

Lin Hua saw that he had invited another college classmate without informing him in advance, and a trace of unhappiness flashed across his face, but this expression was only fleeting, and asked, "Which unit does your college classmate belong to?"

"No, it's from the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance—"

When he heard the words "Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance", Lin Hua couldn't hide the dissatisfied expression on his face: in his mind, since Lu Tao invited him to dinner, he should be the main guest, and now he suddenly came to the Budget Department of the Department of Finance, and he didn't know what position the other party was......

Lu Tao saw that the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and after a little thought, he guessed his thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Section Chief Lin, my college classmate is a lesbian. Originally, I wasn't going to call her, but considering that if it was the two of us eating, it would be difficult to order, and if there was a lesbian, the atmosphere would be better, so I called her. ”

When Lin Hua heard that it was a female classmate of Lu Tao, the dissatisfied look on his face eased slightly, and he pretended to ask very casually: "Which part of the budget department is your female classmate in charge of, and what is your current position?"

"She is now the head of the county and township group of the budget department, and she seems to be in the real department. ”

Lin Hua raised his head and looked at Lu Tao in a little shock, and said: "I have a college classmate who also works in the budget department of the Department of Finance, according to him, the county and township group of the budget department is a fat shortage, and the power is also very great, and he tried to transfer to this group several times without success. Your female classmate is estimated to have only been working for more than three years, how did she occupy such a crucial position so quickly? Does she have a very powerful backstage and backer?"

Lu Tao smiled and said: "You guessed right, my classmate's surname is Chen, his name is Chen Pei, and her father is Chen Dengfeng, the current deputy secretary of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee!"

Lin Hua exclaimed in surprise, stared at Lu Tao with wide eyes, and was stunned for a long time before saying: "You are good, you can actually ask the daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to come out for lunch with you, although you are college classmates, but ordinary classmates definitely don't have this face." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly leaned his head over and asked with a gossip on his face: "Brother Lu, tell me honestly: Does this daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen like you very much? In my opinion, this possibility is very great, because you are very handsome, talented, and have a good martial arts, and you are the kind of man who is very amusing to girls—I guessed right!"

Lu Tao knew that Lin Hua and the others would definitely be able to see from Chen Pei's attitude, words and deeds towards him that she liked herself, if he denied his judgment at this moment, it would not be good for him to see it at that time, maybe he would think that he was a very hypocritical person, so he said ambiguously: "I had a really good relationship with her during college, and she went to Taolin County to play last month." As for whether she likes me or not, I'm not sure, in short, I have a closer relationship with her than the average classmate, but now it's not a romantic relationship, this is my truth!"
