Li Tao saw that Fang Xin suddenly asked about the relationship between Lu Tao and Chen Pei, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Fang, according to my judgment, Pei Pei and the young man surnamed Lu are very likely to be lovers, even if they are not in a relationship now, but Pei Pei must like him very much, and this can't escape my eyes." ”

Fang Xin said in surprise: "Is this possible? Just now Pei Pei introduced that the boy is a cadre of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, if they are really lovers, Pei Pei has been working for three years, why don't you transfer that boy to the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau or the Shaxing City Local Taxation Bureau? With Pei Pei's family background, it is not a matter of one sentence to transfer her boyfriend from other places to work in the provincial capital?"

Li Tao said: "Fang Chu, your analysis is indeed reasonable. According to common sense, since Pei Pei and the boy are college classmates, and they have graduated for more than three years, if it was a romantic relationship, they should have been engaged or living together a long time ago, and Xiao Lu should have been transferred to the provincial capital. But I've been a colleague of Pei Pei for three years, and I've never heard of her having a boyfriend.

It is said that Pei Pei's mother also personally told Director Hu that she asked him to pay attention to whether there were any particularly outstanding young talents in the hall, and if so, ask him to introduce and match. Judging from this, Pei Pei should not have found a boyfriend. However, when she and Xiao Lu came to my office just now, I clearly saw them holding hands. With Pei Pei's character, if she didn't like that boy very much, how could she hold hands with him in front of me?

Fang Xin hurriedly asked, "Lao Li, are you sure that Pei Pei took the boy's hand in your office?"

"Sure, quite sure. Not only did they hold hands, but when I deliberately joked that they were a pair of golden boys and girls, Pei Pei did not deny it, but had a happy expression on her face. Fang, this at least shows that Pei Pei likes the boy very much, maybe they didn't have a relationship before, but now both parties have this meaning. Pei Pei is so good, and she is the only beloved daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, if she likes any boy, will she not be able to do it? In my judgment, this Lu Tao will become Deputy Secretary Chen's son-in-law in the future. ”

Fang Xin let out an "oh" and said, "I understand when you say that, no wonder Pei Pei suddenly brought that boy surnamed Lu to my office today, she has never come to me for other people's things before." It seems that love sometimes really changes a person! Pei Pei is such a self-disciplined, self-respecting girl, for the sake of the person she likes, she does not hesitate to give up her principles and reserve, and personally come to your and my office to invite us to dinner, it is really rare! When they entered my office just now, I was still a little ignorant, thinking that Xiao Lu was an ordinary classmate of Pei Pei, but she brought him to me because of the love of a classmate, and she didn't think about anything else at all, thanks to you for reminding me. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Since Xiao Lu is Pei Pei's sweetheart, then we can't see each other, my idea is: if Xiao Lu must help them in the county to ask for an index, and Pepe also wants to help him, then we will take the opportunity to act at dinner at night and find another excuse to arrange a subsidy for them." In case Pei Pei wants to give her sweetheart enough face and wants to get some more funds for Taolin County, we will also consider it according to the situation. After all, Pei Pei has just been promoted to the leader of the village group, and we have to give her a little face and authority in front of the people below, what do you think?"

Li Tao knew that his next few words were insincere, and the so-called "face and authority" to Chen Pei was obviously a pretext, and his real idea was to use this to slap Chen Pei fiercely, and at the same time, he also smacked up in advance about Lu Tao, who might become Deputy Secretary Chen's son-in-law......

Of course, these are all thoughts in his heart, but there is another set in his mouth: "Fang Chu, or you are thoughtful and comprehensive, I completely agree with your thoughts." In my impression, Pei Pei has never asked us for help for other people's affairs, so if she is determined to help Taolin County this time, we must give her enough face and try to meet her requirements. ”

After Fang Xin and Li Tao agreed on their opinions, they raised their wrists and looked at their watches, it was already a quarter past five, so they picked up the landline and dialed Chen Pei's mobile phone, telling her that she had turned down her friend's invitation and rushed to the Crown Hotel for dinner after work......

Lu Tao left the Finance Department at 5:20 after getting Fang Xin's letter confirming to attend the dinner, and after walking out of the gate of the Finance Hall, he first dialed Cai Changming's mobile phone and told him that Director Fang and Deputy Director Li had promised to go to the Crown Hotel for dinner, and asked him to tell him the box number, and he would tell Chen Pei.

Cai Changming hurriedly told Lu Tao the box number and asked him if he wanted to drive to pick him up? Lu Tao said that he checked the map with his mobile phone, and the Crown Hotel was about two kilometers west of the Finance Bureau.

On the way to the hotel on foot, Lu Tao dialed Zhou Yihong's mobile phone again and asked him if he had arrived in the provincial capital? Zhou Yihong said that he had just arrived and was drinking tea and taking a break in a teahouse near the Crown Hotel, and asked him how the arrangements were?

Zhou Yihong pondered for a while and said: "It's okay, last time the Municipal Finance Bureau invited Fang Xin, Li Tao and Chen Pei to dinner, I was there, and they are acquaintances with each other." The people of the Taolin County Finance Bureau begged them to do something, and the presence of me, the secretary of the municipal party committee, did not hinder it, on the contrary, I could also say a few good words to Taolin County, which is very normal, and there is no problem of inconvenience. When everyone arrives at the box, you send me a message in time, and I will call you and ask where you are, and then you invite me over. is still the same sentence: Don't let the people from your county finance bureau and Fang Xin and Li Tao know that I came to eat with Chen Pei on purpose. ”

"Secretary Zhou, don't worry, I will do what you ask me to do, and there will be no mistakes. ”

After hanging up Zhou Yihong's phone, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that he had told Chen Pei that Secretary Zhou would come over for dinner, and he regretted slightly that he shouldn't have told her the news in advance, so he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Chen Pei's number, reminding her very vaguely not to tell anyone about it before Secretary Zhou arrived.

Chen Pei is a smart person in ice and snow, and immediately understood that Secretary Zhou specially told him, in order not to let his subordinates guess that he was specially coming to eat with him, so he agreed......

When Lu Tao entered the box, he saw that Cai Changming, Xia Bingbing, and Zhang Yaling were already sitting in the box, and when they saw him come in, Cai Changming and Zhang Yaling both stood up with smiles on their faces, only Xia Bingbing sat still as always, and there was no expression on his face.
