On the morning of the next day, Lu Tao's family, Zhou Yihong and Chen Pei visited the Bailu Lake Scenic Area in the western suburbs of Songshan City with great interest, and returned to the city at about 11 o'clock. Zhou Yihong had another reception task at noon, so he asked his secretary Feng Antu to take Lu Tao's mother and sister and brother-in-law to dine at a special restaurant near the Songshan Hotel, while Lu Tao and Chen Pei rushed to the "Songjingxuan Restaurant" to attend the gathering of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau as agreed.

When Lu Tao and Chen Pei rushed to the "Songjingxuan Restaurant", Wang Zhichang happened to get out of the car, and when he saw Lu Tao, he happily greeted him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, have you just arrived? Director Yuan, they shouldn't have come yet, should we wait at the door?"

Lu Tao said with a smile: "It's only eleven forty o'clock, Director Yuan, they shouldn't have arrived yet, we can wait here." ”

Then, he pointed to Chen Pei, who was standing side by side with him, and introduced: "Director Wang, this is my college classmate Chen Pei, who works in the Provincial Department of Finance, and is also an old acquaintance with Director Yuan. ”

Wang Zhichang hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Pei, and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Chen is good." Finance and taxation are one family, and we are also half of the peers. You are the leader of the provincial department, and you are welcome to go to our county often to guide the work. ”

Chen Pei also said a few polite words, then stood aside and asked Lu Tao to continue chatting with him.

At around 11:50 a.m., three small cars drove to the door of the restaurant and stopped. Yuan Cheng got down from the first car, and when he saw Chen Pei standing at the door waiting, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed over, stretched out his palm from afar, and said in a self-reproachful tone while laughing: "Section Chief Chen, I'm sorry, I'm a little late, so I'll let you wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Chen Pei smiled and said, "Director Yuan, we just arrived here, we can't talk about it for a long time, don't be too polite!"

At this time, several deputy directors of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau and department heads who followed Yuan Cheng to get out of the car saw this new leader hurrying towards Chen Pei as soon as he got off the car, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: What is the origin of this very simple and ordinary girl? Why is Director Yuan more respectful when he sees her than when he sees the superior leader?

As if to solve the doubts in the hearts of these people, Yuan Cheng and others approached, pointed to Chen Pei, and introduced with a smile: "Everyone, this is Team Leader Chen of the County and Township Group of the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance, and he is my special guest today. The Ling Zun of Team Leader Chen is Comrade Chen Dengfeng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Team Leader Chen was going back to the provincial capital in the morning, but she gave me a thin noodle and specially stayed to attend our noon gathering, which was my personal honor and the honor of the Songshan Local Taxation Bureau. Come, we welcome Team Leader Chen with warm applause!"

As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the local taxation bureaus around them, including Wang Zhichang, let out an "oh" in surprise at the same time, with a solemn expression on their faces, and immediately applauded with Yuan Cheng.

When Yuan Cheng introduced Chen Pei's identity in a somewhat ostentatious tone, Lu Tao began to be a little puzzled, feeling that he should not bring out Chen Pei's identity as the "daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee" in front of so many people, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood: This is a strategy of Yuan Cheng, to put it bluntly, he just wants to pull the tiger skin to make a big banner - because he is a newcomer and has no foundation and prestige in the Songshan City Local Taxation Bureau, so he brought Chen Pei's identity out, the purpose is to tell the deputy directors and middle-level cadres of the Songshan City Local Taxation Bureau: I have a background in the province, There are backers, and the daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee has to give me face to eat with me. In this way, these subordinates who came to the party today will have a sense of awe for him;

Moreover, from today onwards, these colleagues who attended the gathering will spread the word everywhere that the new Director Yuan has a good relationship with Deputy Secretary Chen of the Provincial Party Committee, and that he has a big background and a big background, which will also be of great benefit to him to establish initial authority within the local taxation system of Songshan City......

After figuring out this section, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Tao's mouth, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chen Pei, but saw that she was also looking at herself with a meaningful gaze, and there was also a smile on the corner of her mouth that was perceptive......

When the applause stopped, Yuan Cheng introduced the colleagues from the Local Taxation Bureau who followed him to attend the dinner to Chen Pei one by one, and Lu Tao also introduced Wang Zhichang to him.

After shaking hands with Wang Zhichang, Yuan Cheng pointed at Lu Tao, and said with a smile to the deputy director of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau: "This is Xiao Lu of the Taolin County Bureau, named Lu Tao, do you know him?"

Lu Tao is a grassroots cadre, and he hardly goes to the Songshan City Bureau to do business, so none of the leaders of the city bureau who came today know him. However, several deputy directors have participated in the party group meeting on the revocation of Lu Tao's punishment decision, and have long heard of Lu Tao's name, knowing that he has just revoked the punishment for a few days, but he did not expect that at this moment he came to participate in the high-level gathering of the local taxation system in Songshan City, and the new Director Yuan also left him for the last grand introduction, and he couldn't help but be surprised and puzzled, and several deputy directors also showed disapproving expressions on their faces......

Yuan Cheng had long expected that several deputy directors would have such reactions when they heard Lu Tao's name, smiled slightly, and added: "This Comrade Xiao Lu is Team Leader Chen's college classmate. However, as far as I know, the friendship between Team Leader Chen and Xiao Lu has now been transformed into a relationship, and maybe in a few months, we will have their happy wine to drink-Team Leader Chen and Xiao Lu, it's not presumptuous for me to introduce it like this! Hahaha!"

It turned out that when he was in the provincial capital, Yuan Cheng saw that Chen Pei liked Lu Tao very much, as long as others mentioned her relationship with Lu Tao, she would be radiant and happy, so at this moment he deliberately announced the relationship between the two people loudly, the purpose was still to win Chen Pei's favor......

Lu Tao knew that Yuan Cheng didn't know that he had broken up with Chen Pei, and when he told everyone that he and Chen Pei were a pair of lovers, he was slightly embarrassed, and just wanted to say something, but Chen Pei, who was standing next to him, suddenly grabbed his right hand, turned his body slightly sideways, leaned on his shoulder, and said generously: "Director Yuan, leaders, when I hold a wedding with Lu Tao, I will definitely invite everyone to drink the wedding wine, and the leaders must appreciate it at that time!"

While speaking, she scratched Lu Tao's palm with her fingernails a few times, and Lu Tao immediately understood: she is learning Yuan Cheng's strategy, and she is pulling tiger skin to make a big banner for herself, the purpose is to tell these large and small leaders of the local taxation system: Lu Tao will be the son-in-law of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in the future, and none of you can underestimate him!

Sure enough, when they heard Chen Pei personally admit his relationship with Lu Tao, the deputy directors, who were a little dissatisfied with Lu Tao's attendance at the luncheon just now, immediately had a smile on their faces, and took the initiative to come over and shake Lu Tao's hand warmly.
