A few minutes later, Zhou Yihong took a special car to the Taolin Hotel to rest, and Lu Tao and Fu Lei walked back to the Green Bank Haoting Community. When he was about to reach the gate of the community, Fu Lei couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Lu, did your father have a very good relationship with Secretary Zhou when he was in the army? I see that Secretary Zhou cares about you very much and is very close to you, and would rather not participate in the welcome banquet organized by the county party committee to go to your house for dinner, and also take the initiative to invite you to his house to play, this is not an ordinary comrade-in-arms!"

Lu Tao knew that Fu Lei wanted to ask about the real relationship between himself and Secretary Zhou, so as to judge whether he needed to accept himself, and he now just wanted to find a backer who could help him speak among the leaders of the county party committee, so he said: "Minister Fu, I can see that you are a good leader, so I will tell the truth: when I was fighting in the army, my father once saved Secretary Zhou's life, so they can be regarded as a lifelong friendship." My father died 20 years ago, and Secretary Zhou only learned about this situation until now, and he was more sympathetic to my father's plight, so he was also very concerned about me. ”

Fu Lei said with surprise and envy: "In this way, your father is not only Secretary Zhou's superior, but also his life-saving benefactor, no wonder he is so good to you." Xiao Lu, you're going to have a lot of luck. It can be seen that Secretary Zhou is a true man with a true temperament who will repay his kindness and affection, since your father is his savior and died so early, he will definitely find a way to cultivate you and promote you to repay your father's life-saving kindness. As long as you grasp this opportunity and work harder, whether you continue to work in the local taxation department or transfer to the government, your future will be bright. ”

Lu Tao smiled and did not answer.

Seeing that he was silent, Fu Lei suddenly leaned his head over, lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Lu, I have something I want to ask you to help with: if you go to Secretary Zhou's house to play next weekend, if it is convenient, please take me to his house to sit and chat, and it is best to have another meal with Secretary Zhou, okay?"

Lu Tao was a little embarrassed and said: "Minister Fu, I don't have a problem here, but it's not good how to talk to Secretary Zhou, and I don't know if he will agree." ”

Fu Lei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Lu, it's okay." You can go to Secretary Zhou's house first, and when you have a good chat, tell him about my desire to visit him by the way. You can rest assured, Secretary Zhou has just arrived in Songshan City to take up his post, in fact, he also wants to communicate more with the grassroots cadres below us, touch the situation below, and will not blindly oppose the cadres to visit his home. What's more, you have such a relationship with him, even if you buy your face, he will not refuse. ”

Lu Tao thought about it and felt that his words were more reasonable, so he nodded and agreed......

The next day was Friday, and Lu Tao rushed to Huaguang Village before 8 o'clock in the morning and attended a meeting of the two committees of the village branch in the morning. At the meeting, Su Yaoguang, the village party secretary, could not hide his excitement, and first informed everyone of the good news that Secretary Zhou of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee decided to hang a point to help Huaguang Village, and told everyone: The reason why Secretary Zhou chose Huaguang Village as his help point was that Lu cadres played the most critical role in it.

As soon as these words came out, the conference room immediately burst into thunderous applause......

In the afternoon, Lu Tao was writing an analysis report on the people's situation in the office of the mass task force, when he suddenly received a call from He Ying.

"Xiao Luzi, when are you going back to the county seat? A few of my colleagues want to come to my house for a weekend dinner, but my cooking skills are not very good, or you should come back early and cook for me! Your level of stir-fry is really good, I haven't eaten last night's taro ribs and a large slice of beef, wait a little bit and I'll buy a few catties of pork ribs and a few catties of beef, you must make last night's level of these two dishes, I just introduced you to my colleagues as a big chef, and also focused on recommending these two dishes, they are waiting to taste the delicious!"

Lu Tao joked: "Political Commissar He, you like to eat my fried dishes so much, or we will reach an agreement: the two of us will cook and eat together on weekends in the future, you are responsible for buying rice and vegetables, I am responsible for cooking and stir-frying, you pay for me and I contribute, fair and just, Tong Su is not bullied, how about it?"

He Ying snorted and scolded with a smile: "Little monkey spirit, you think beautifully! You want to cook with me without spending a penny, and make your spring and autumn dreams! You are a man, and you are younger than me, it is natural to contribute, and the food expenses will be shared equally between the two of us, so it will be fair and reasonable." However, tonight I invited my colleagues to dinner, and I will pay for the dishes this time. In the future, if you really want to cook with me, you have to share the food expenses equally, otherwise you don't have to talk about it!"

Lu Tao hurriedly smiled and agreed.

There were two men and two women who came to He Ying's house for dinner tonight, namely Zhou Youliang, deputy director of the county public security bureau in charge of public security and legal work, Su Lishu, deputy director of the office, and Li Tao, deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Office. Zhou Youliang is He Ying's cousin, and Su Lishu and Li Tao are He Ying's two closest best friends.

At around six o'clock, Su Lishu first came to He Ying's house, and after entering the kitchen, she looked at Lu Tao who was busy for a while, and then pulled He Ying into the living room outside, and asked with a gossip on her face: "Yingying, that handsome guy in the kitchen is the chef you praise very much?"

He Ying blushed, slapped a punch on her shoulder with a shy smile, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? Do you think that I am a nymphomaniac when I see a handsome guy like you? His level of stir-fry is really high, you will know when you taste it." ”

At this moment, Zhou Youliang and Li Tao also appeared at the door of the living room, He Ying hurriedly greeted them, invited them to the living room to sit down, and brought the pre-brewed tea to the coffee table and invited them to drink tea.

A few minutes later, Lu Tao came out of the kitchen after frying the last dish, He Ying hurriedly pointed at Zhou Youliang and introduced to him: "Xiao Lu, this is Director Zhou of our county bureau, last time you had a conflict with the employees of the O'Neill Hotel, the Chengguan Police Station wanted to detain you, it was Director Zhou who presided over justice and did not approve the detention report, you should thank him." ”

Zhou Youliang originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard He Ying introduce that the young man in front of him was the local tax cadre he had helped last time, the smile on his face immediately disappeared like magic, and he stretched out his palm very reservedly and let Lu Tao shake it. When Lu Tao thanked him, he just nodded indifferently, said "uh-huh" twice, and then quickly turned his face to talk to Su Lishu.

Next, He Ying introduced Li Tao to Lu Tao, and told Lu Tao with a smile that Li Tao was the first beauty of the County Public Security Bureau.

When shaking hands with Lu Tao, Li Tao looked at him carefully with curious eyes, turned his head and smiled at He Ying: "Yingying, this young man is so handsome, why haven't I seen him at your house before?"
