Liu Hong listened to Song Xitang's suggestion to hold a beautiful birthday banquet for Lu Tao's mother's fiftieth birthday, laughed happily, and praised him repeatedly: "Xiao Song, it's still your brain that turns fast, this idea is good." Now Xiaoyu is in love with Lu Tao, Lu Tao's mother is Xiaoyu's future mother-in-law, and we can use this to organize a birthday banquet for her. In this way, it can not only give Lu Tao a long face, but also make Xiaoyu happy, it is a thing that kills two birds with one stone, I completely approve of it!"

Speaking of this, he paused and asked again: "Xiao Song, how do you think we should organize this birthday banquet to satisfy Lu Tao? Do you have a general idea?"

Song Xitang thought for a moment and replied: "First of all, we have to carefully arrange the banquet hall, hang blessing banners in a conspicuous position, and invite professional hosts and bands to help the fun, make the celebration scene a little more grand and festive, and give Lu Tao and his mother an unexpected surprise;

"Secondly, Lu Tao has no relatives locally, and it is estimated that there are not many friends, and it is estimated that there are fewer people who come to celebrate his birthday, so I suggest that all the managers and some employees of O'Neill Group go to the banquet that day, and you can give each of these employees who attend the birthday banquet 600 yuan in advance as a gift for their drinking. In this way, our group employees can fill more than 10 tables, and the popularity will rise all at once.

"Third, you can invite Secretary Luo, Deputy Secretary Du and other leaders of the county party committee to attend the birthday banquet, as long as they come, it is estimated that a large number of sycophant officials will also come to attend the birthday banquet. At the same time, let Li Weijun also bring his friends over, nominally to celebrate Xiaoyu's mother-in-law's birthday, in this case, Lu Tao is not easy to refuse, let alone turn his face with Li Weijun. In the middle of the banquet, Li Weijun can go alone to toast Lu Tao's wine, sincerely apologize to him, and strive for his understanding, so that it kills three birds with one stone!"

Liu Hong said "um" with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you can arrange the things at the hotel, I will tell Feiyan later, and ask her to arrange for all the management personnel and some employees of the group to go to the banquet on Saturday, and give each of them 600 yuan in advance as a gift for drinking." Li Weijun, I will look for him tomorrow and ask him to attend Lu Tao's mother's birthday banquet on Saturday, and sincerely apologize to Lu Tao!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday, Lu Tao returned to the local taxation bureau from Huaguang Village in advance, wrote a public holiday slip asking for two days off, and after asking the director of the party committee office and the deputy director in charge to sign it, he put the fake slip in the human education section, and made another phone call to the mass work office of the organization department, saying that he was on public vacation on Thursday and Friday, and was not stationed in Huaguang Village, and asked them to register for the record.

After completing the formalities, Lu Tao was about to leave the office building, but met Xia Bingbing's younger brother Xia Yuze in the foyer on the first floor.

When he saw Lu Tao, Xia Yuze pulled him aside, looked around at no one, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Brother, can you make a phone call to persuade my sister? I'm worried that she will do something stupid!"

Lu Tao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, 'What's the matter?' what stupid thing would she do?"

Xia Yuze sighed and said, "Yesterday morning, my sister suddenly received a call from Du Shangwu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, asking her to go to his office. At that time, my sister was very surprised, because she had never dealt with Deputy Secretary Du, and I didn't know why he suddenly summoned her. As a result, after arriving at Deputy Secretary Du's office, the other party did not ask about the indiscriminate situation, and first reprimanded her with a straight face, which roughly means that my sister does not pay attention to party spirit and principles, does not abide by political rules, and in order to compete for the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, she uses shady means to falsely accuse and frame competitors, and also engages in non-organizational activities, and secretly mobilizes cadres who collude with the Finance Bureau to slander and belittle Zhang Yaling during the inspection. His words were so unpleasant that my sister was reprimanded by him to cry at that time, and when she came back, she hid at home and cried all day.

"Unexpectedly, this morning, Director Liu of the Supervision Office of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection called my sister again and asked her to go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. After arriving at the Commission for Discipline Inspection, she was taken to an interrogation room, where Wang Youbing, deputy secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and director of the Supervision Bureau, personally questioned her, first asking her to think about whether she had violated discipline and law, and if so, she would take the initiative to confess, which could be regarded as a confession and surrender. After receiving my sister's resolute denial, Wang Youbing reminded her of two points: First, is it true that some people have reported that she has an improper relationship between men and women with a certain principal leader of the county party committee? Second, three units have reported that she has used the power of budget appropriation to solicit bribes from these units, and the amount of bribes is huge.

"My sister knew that the main leader of a county party committee he was talking about was the county magistrate Su Yetai, and the so-called bribes were even more false, so she was so angry that she cried on the spot. Wang Youbing: They inquired all morning, but found nothing, and they didn't have any evidence to confirm my sister's two questions, so they had to let her go back at noon. You know very well that my sister has a strong temperament and can't stand the wrongs and insults the most, so when she returned home, she didn't eat, and lay on the bed and wept silently. My brother-in-law was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he had to take leave to stay at home with her in the afternoon. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yuze's eyes gradually turned red, and he said in a choked voice: "Brother, my sister has been working diligently and diligently over the years, often working overtime until late at night, never accepting red envelopes from any unit or individual, and her life style is also rigorous and self-disciplined, and she easily does not joke with gay men." Take County Magistrate Su as an example, I told him last time that he really wanted to beat my sister's crooked idea, but my sister never gave him a good face, and offended him for this. You say, now those people are so despicable and slandered that she and Su Yetai have a relationship between men and women, how can she stand it?"

Lu Tao nodded sympathetically and said, "Brother Xia, I believe in your words, and I also believe in Chief Xia's character. But how do you want me to persuade her? Will she listen to me?"

Xia Yuze replied: "If you go and persuade her, I guess it will work." Because she knows that you have a very good relationship with Minister Fu of the Organization Department and Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and that Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee also trusts and respects you, if you are willing to continue to help her, she will have a sense of dependence and steadfastness in her heart, and she does not have to worry about being framed and suppressed by Deputy Secretary Du, Wang Youbing, and others; second, she has a very good impression of you and trusts you very much. I'm not flattering you to your face, but after you came back from the Provincial Department of Finance to get help funds, my sister said to me many times: Lu Tao is a very good young talent, you must learn more from him in the future and socialize with him more, which will be of great benefit to you——"

When Lu Tao heard this, he interrupted him with a slight smile and said: "Brother Xia, this is your sister's kind words to me, and I deserve it! If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best to help her out of this predicament!"

Xia Yuze was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
