Xie Benzhu heard Lu Tao say that there was no progress on his side, and let out an "oh" in disappointment, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to say in a comforting tone: "Xiao Lu, it's okay, we guess it's difficult for you to get something valuable." Those people are all old foxes, and they will not leave any tails easily, and Du Xiaoyu is a marginal figure of the Liu family, and he can't touch the core secrets of the O'Neill Group, which is completely understandable. ”

One afternoon a few days later, Lu Tao was checking the accounts outside, when he suddenly received a call from a deputy director of the county party committee office surnamed Li, who warmly invited him to dinner together, saying that he had good news to tell him.

Lu Tao was very strange in his heart: He didn't know this deputy director of the county party committee office surnamed Li at all, why did he suddenly invite him to dinner? What was the good news he said?

Although he was full of suspicion, because the other party's attitude was very warm and sincere, Lu Tao had to agree to come down and make an appointment with him to meet at the "Chunlai Tea Restaurant" near the county party committee at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

After hanging up Deputy Director Li's phone, Lu Tao immediately dialed Fu Lei's mobile phone: "Minister Fu, is there a deputy director surnamed Li in the county party committee office?"

"Yes, there is a deputy director of the county party committee office named Li Xiangdu, you should be talking about him!"

"How is this person? Has he been working in the county party committee?"

"He has been working in the county party committee office for five or six years, and he was transferred from the county cultural bureau, and as soon as he entered the county party committee office, he served as the chief of the comprehensive section and Luo Qiulin's secretary, and was promoted to deputy director at the beginning of this year, which can be regarded as Luo Qiulin's cronies and confidants!"

Lu Tao said a little puzzled: "Minister Fu, I don't know this Deputy Director Li, but he just suddenly asked me to have dinner together, and said that he had something good to tell me, which made me inexplicable, I don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd." ”

Fu Lei let out an "oh" in surprise, thought for a while, and said: "Xiao Lu, this Li Xiangdu is Li Haiping's cousin and a loyal subordinate of Luo Qiulin, he must have been instructed by Luo Qiulin to find you, it is estimated that he wants to buy you with some benefits, and wants to pull you into their camp, you must be vigilant, don't believe his words and promises." ”

Lu Tao said "um" and said, "Minister Fu, don't worry, I will meet the opportunity." ”

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Tao took a taxi to the "Chunlai Tea Restaurant", and saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a sven appearance standing at the door, it was estimated that he was Li Xiangdu, so he walked over to him with a smile and asked, "Are you Director Li?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "You are Director Lu Tao, right? I have long heard that Director Lu is handsome and chic, and his instruments are extraordinary.

Lu Tao politely said a few words, then followed him into the tea restaurant and sat down in a small box.

Li Xiangdu picked up the menu and asked Lu Tao to order, Lu Tao smiled and shook his hand and said, "I haven't been to this tea restaurant, I don't know what dishes are delicious, so please order, I'll do it casually." ”

Li Xiangdu didn't force him, closed the menu, and said to the waiter: "Give us a 'sliced fish', a 'pot of sea spirit mushrooms', a fried dried beef with winter bamboo shoots, and a red cabbage moss...... By the way, what kind of wine does Director Lu drink?"

Lu Tao saw that he ordered four dishes, obviously just to drink, so he said: "I can't drink enough, I can only accompany Director Li to drink a little to cheer up, I can drink whatever you want, white or red." ”

Li Xiangdu said with a smile: "Director Lu is too modest, I heard Director Qiu say that you drink a lot." Last time your mother celebrated her fiftieth birthday, Director Qiu said that you drank at least two catties of liquor, but after the banquet was over, you were not half drunk, why did you sit with me and say that the amount of alcohol was not good?"

Lu Tao didn't expect him to know about the birthday banquet he held for his mother, so he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "That's Director Qiu's exaggeration, my alcohol consumption is actually not large, but my physical fitness is relatively good, even if I am drunk, I can temporarily bear it, so Director Qiu didn't see my drunkenness that day." ”

Li Xiangdu smiled, turned to the waiter and said, "Bring us a bottle of Shuijingfang." ”

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Director Li, let's drink that kind of white bar with a small bottle, Lang wine and Jiang Xiaobai are fine, there is no need to drink such an expensive bar!"

Li Xiangdu waved his hand and said, "Director Lu, you don't have to worry about this. I have a habit of not drinking, if I want to drink, I must drink wine above 52°, and it must be brand wine, and I don't drink miscellaneous brand wine, so it is not easy to hurt the body. ”

While waiting for the food to be served, Lu Taodong asked: "Director Li, you said that you came to me today to tell me something, what is a good thing?" Don't laugh, I'm a person who is in a hurry, and I can't hide things in my heart, so I took the liberty to ask you for advice. ”

Li Xiangdu hurriedly said: "I just like Director Lu's straightforward character. That's the case, last night I had tea with Secretary Luo, and during the chat, he mentioned you and praised you, saying that you have both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, and you are an excellent young cadre. It's just that your current work unit limits the development of your talents and your future. Therefore, Secretary Luo wants to create an opportunity for you to leave the local taxation department and enter the government to strive for greater development space, what do you think?"

Lu Tao thought to himself that Fu Lei was really a clever plan, and Li Xiangdu really adhered to Luo Qiulin's will and made a wish for himself to be an official, so he pretended to show an eager expression and asked excitedly: "Director Li, what opportunity is Secretary Luo going to create for me?"

Li Xiangdu observed his words and looks, and when he saw Lu Tao's ecstatic expression, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and said: "That's the case, the secretary of the Youth League Committee in our county was transferred to the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Songshan City last month, and this position was vacant. Secretary Luo wants to carry out a pilot project in Taolin County to openly select the secretary of the Youth League Committee, and the specific idea is: Among the young cadres of all administrative organs in the county, as long as they are under the age of 35 and have participated in the work for more than three years, regardless of their position, even if they are ordinary section members, they can participate in the selection. You can sign up for this selection of the secretary of the county Youth League Committee, as long as the selection is up, it will be a real job, and the level will come up all of a sudden. With your ability, I believe that as long as you have the platform of the secretary of the county Youth League Committee, you will definitely have a bright future in your career in the future. ”

Lu Tao asked a little puzzled: "Director Li, since the secretary of the county Youth League Committee is openly selected from all organs and units in the county, it is necessary to go through two links: written examination and interview, and determine the object of examination according to the comprehensive score, how can Secretary Luo be sure that I will definitely take the first or second place in the examination? If I do not pass the written test or interview, Secretary Luo will have no way to promote me! After all, the selection and appointment of cadres is now relatively standardized, and there are many pairs of eyes staring at me in the selection process. I am supervising, if I don't hire according to the grades, it will cause a lot of conflicts and problems, and my reputation may stink at that time!"
