When He Ying saw that Lu Tao mentioned the matter of his punishment, she refused to talk about this topic again, and asked Lu Tao to take out the two books he had just recommended.

After taking the book handed over by Lu Tao, He Ying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have to stay in the village from Monday to Friday, and can't you come back at night?"

"Yes, the organization department of the county party committee is very strict in the assessment of the mass work team, and within the specified time, the team members stationed in the village must be stationed in the village and cannot come back at night. If the team members stationed in the village do not live in the village, they will circulate a notice of criticism throughout the county, and the year-end performance appraisal score of the unit to which the work team belongs will be deducted, and the city discipline inspection commission will also admonish and talk to the team members who are found to have violated discipline more than twice. ”

He Ying let out an "oh", thought about it and asked, "What about next week's weekend? Are you at home?"

Lu Tao glanced at her a little strangely, shook his head and said, "I made an appointment with Secretary Zhou to visit him in Songshan City next weekend, maybe I will take a car from Dalong Town to the city on Friday afternoon, and I won't go back to the county seat...... What's the matter? Are you going to have a party again on the weekend? Director Zhou, they still want to eat my fried food, don't they?"

He Ying was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." You should be very tired after climbing the mountain for two days, so rest early!"

In the next two days, Lu Tao stayed in Huaguang Village, on the one hand, supplementing and improving various basic materials, on the other hand, actively making suggestions and suggestions for the economic development of the village, and drawing up a plan and schedule for the higher-level government and relevant departments to seek assistance funds.

On Wednesday afternoon, Lu Tao suddenly received a call from Fu Lei, director of the organization department of the county party committee, who warmly invited him to dinner, and said that Xie Benzhu, secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, would also eat with him.

Lu Tao hesitated for a moment and promised to rush back to the county seat immediately.

After hanging up Fu Lei's phone, Lu Tao said hello to Su Yaoguang, the village party secretary, saying that he was in a bit of a hurry to go home, so he hurriedly took a minibus back to the county seat.

After getting off the bus, Lu Tao suddenly saw two familiar figures at the door of a hotel, and after careful recognition, the short and fat man on the left was Li Weijun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dalong Town, and the man on the right was thin and tall, with a big back hair, was his sworn enemy, Liu Hong, the chairman of O'Neill International Hotel, and the two were talking, as if they were greeting some guests.

At this time, Li Weijun happened to move his gaze, and when he saw Lu Tao getting off the bus, his face changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he glared at him viciously, then turned his head and continued to talk to Liu Hong. Lu Tao ignored him, stopped a taxi, and rushed straight to the "Beiqiao Restaurant" booked by Fu Lei......

Liu Hong also saw Lu Tao, watched him leave in the car with hateful eyes, and asked Li Weijun: "Last time you told me that Lu Tao's kid was stationed in your town, and he still confronted you in public, is there a way to rectify him? Last time, I wanted him to go to the detention center for a few days, but then I don't know where he found the relationship with Zhou Youliang of the county public security bureau and let him escape, and I couldn't bear this breath in my heart. ”

Li Weijun said hatefully: "I also wish I could kill this kid, but it seems a little inappropriate now." Last week, Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee went to Dalong Town to inspect and guide the work, and somehow became interested in Lu Tao, a kid, called him to the village department of Meihua Village to meet him alone, and invited him to eat together at noon, and arranged for him to sit down next to him, on an equal footing with Secretary Luo, and squeezed Director Zhong of the People's Congress aside, and both leaders had opinions about him!"

Liu Hong was shocked and said: "Really? Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee met with the boy surnamed Lu alone and invited him to have dinner with him? If this is the case, what kind of relationship or intimacy may there be between the two of them, then we have to be careful." ”

Li Weijun pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in a very firm tone: "This is impossible. At that time, we also had this suspicion, but later analysis showed that this possibility was almost zero. If Secretary Zhou really had any special relationship with Lu Tao, the last time the Local Taxation Bureau punished Lu Tao, Secretary Zhou would definitely greet him and intercede. With Secretary Zhou's status, he asked the local taxation bureau not to punish a cadre, which was a matter of one sentence. However, Lu Tao was not only punished in the end, but also cancelled the qualifications of the deputy director of the inspection bureau that had been announced, which proved that there could be no special intimate relationship between him and Secretary Zhou. ”

Liu Hong asked in surprise: "Since they don't have any special relationship, how could Secretary Zhou meet such an ordinary cadre alone? Why did he arrange for him to sit down next to him during dinner?"

Li Weijun said: "Later, I also discussed this issue with Secretary Luo and Director Zhong, and everyone's judgment was: Secretary Zhou has just arrived, and it is the first time to come to Taolin County for research and investigation, so I want to leave you with a people-friendly, pragmatic and humble impression." And Lu Tao's appearance is good, to be fair, he can be called a talent. When Secretary Zhou's car passed through an intersection that day, it happened that Lu Tao's kid was standing on the side of the road.

Secretary Zhou may have seen Lu Tao's dignified appearance, so his first impression was very good, so he sent his secretary to get out of the car and ask him. Later, in order to show his pro-people side, he met Lu Tao alone, and arranged for him to sit next to him during the meal, to put it bluntly, it was a performance for the people present. I estimate that after Secretary Zhou leaves Taolin, he will immediately forget about Lu Tao, Secretary Luo and Director Zhong also think so. ”

Liu Hong heard that he was reasonable, nodded and said: "I also have a deep understanding of this: the more official the person, the more he wants to show people his side of being close to the people and loving the people, and being a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, so he often visits the people in difficulty and meets with grassroots cadres in the process of investigation and research, and the more people at the bottom, the more modest and sincere his attitude is. It seems that our new Secretary Zhou is not exempt from vulgarity!"

Although Liu Hong is from the underworld, he is not the kind of gangster leader who only knows how to fight and kill, and has no culture and knowledge. On the contrary, his initial job was a middle school teacher, with a relatively high level of education, and he usually likes to delve into "Thick Black Studies" and "Relationship Studies", and he also has a good grasp of the unspoken rules and political ecology of officialdom, so people who have interacted with him admire him very much......

Li Weijun echoed Liu Hong's words, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly patted his head and said, "I have a way to rectify this kid Lu Tao!"
