Not long after Cai Changming and the others entered the box, Zhang Wenqing called Zhang Yaling, saying that he had arrived at the hotel lobby and asked them which box they were in in the teahouse, and Zhang Yaling hurriedly told him the box number.

Cai Changming got up and said, "Xiao Zhang, your cousin is run by the provincial party committee, and for us he is a superior leader, let's go to the elevator to greet him!"

Zhang Yaling stood up and said hello, but Xia Bingbing and Lu Tao sat upright on the sofa. Cai Changming knew that Xia Bingbing didn't like the kind of red tape that ushered in the send-off, so he didn't force her, and took Zhang Yaling to the elevator.

A few minutes later, Cai Changming and Zhang Yaling walked into the box with a young man with a smile on their faces. Cai Changming first pointed to Xia Bingbing, who was sitting at the door, and said: "Director Zhang, this is Xia Bingbing, the head of the budget unit of our bureau, she, like your cousin, is the backbone of the Taolin County Finance Bureau and my best staff assistant. ”

In fact, Zhang Wenqing was only a section chief of the Second Secretary Department of the Provincial Party Committee Office at this time, but Cai Changming was well versed in the way of officialdom, and he was always called "a certain section chief" or "a certain director" for some cadres of higher-level key departments, even if they were a clerk. Moreover, he knew from Zhang Yaling that Zhang Wenqing would be promoted to deputy director in the near future, so he simply called him "Director Zhang" at this moment......

Although Xia Bingbing didn't like that kind of hypocritical politeness, out of basic politeness, she still stood up from the sofa and shook hands with Zhang Wenqing with a smile.

Lu Tao didn't know who Zhang Yaling's cousin was at first, but when Zhang Wenqing walked in, he immediately recognized it: this was the president of the student union when he was in college, and he was a man of the year in college, and before he graduated, almost all students in the School of Public Economics and Management knew him. But Lu Tao was a very inconspicuous figure when he was in college, and he never worked in the student union, so Zhang Wenqing didn't know him......

After recognizing Zhang Wenqing, out of respect for his seniors, Lu Tao didn't wait for Cai Changming's introduction, took the initiative to get up from the sofa, walked to Zhang Wenqing's side, and said with a smile: "Hello, senior." My name is Lu Tao, I am an 11th graduate of the School of Public Economics and Management of Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, and I am now working in the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau. ”

Zhang Wenqing looked at Lu Tao a little unexpectedly, squeezed out a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to shake him, and said very coldly: "Hello, fortunately!"

Lu Tao knew that people like Zhang Wenqing were people of the year during college, and after graduation, he entered a key department such as the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, dealing with high-ranking officials and dignitaries every day, and naturally looked down on a junior from a small county like himself, so he didn't mind much about his deliberately cold posture, shook hands with him naturally and decently, said two polite words without humility or arrogance, and then returned to the sofa and sat down.

Cai Changming very enthusiastically asked Zhang Wenqing to sit down in the middle position, and after the waiter finished making tea and went out, he asked in an expectant tone: "Zhang, have you made an appointment with Section Chief Chen? Can she come out for a cup of tea tonight?"

Zhang Wenqing nodded and said, "I made a phone call with her before I came and asked her to come over for tea, and she agreed." I'll call her again now and tell her the box number. Her home is in the compound of the provincial party committee, only a few kilometers away from here, and she should come quickly. ”

Cai Changming hurriedly asked, "Do you want to arrange a car to pick her up?"

Zhang Wenqing shook his head and said, "No." I know her best, although she is the daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen, she is very low-key and simple, and she never wants her father's special car to pick her up when she goes out, but takes a taxi or rides a shared bicycle by herself. If you arrange for a car to pick her up, you will upset her. ”

Zhang Yaling said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you and Section Chief Chen should soon confirm the relationship! She is so simple and humble, she must be a very smart and excellent girl, such a girl likes a knowledgeable, capable, and promising talent like you the most, it is estimated that you will soon have your favorite wine to drink! Haha!"

Zhang Wenqing smiled very reservedly, and said ambiguously: "Third sister, feelings are indescribable, and you can't simply say which type of girl likes which type of boy." I'm trying to have a relationship with Pei Pei right now, and whether I can succeed or not depends on fate, and as for drinking happy wine, it's still very early!"

Cai Changming knew that although he said this, he was actually extremely eager to become Deputy Secretary Chen's son-in-law, so he took the opportunity to compliment and said: "Zhang, as your third sister said, a girl with connotation and vision like Section Chief Chen will definitely like a young talent like you." What's more, you are not only good on the inside, but also elegant and chic on the outside, and what girl is not tempted? Even Deputy Secretary Chen will definitely be very satisfied when he sees a talent like you. Hahaha!"

Zhang Wenqing's face showed a little smugness, and he said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Director Cai, I have a good relationship with Deputy Secretary Chen's secretary, Director Yang, so I have a lot of dealings with Deputy Secretary Chen." He was more concerned about me, and knew that I was an alumnus of Peipei, and personally invited me to his house to play. If I really fall in love with Pei Pei, Deputy Secretary Chen should not object. ”

Zhang Yaling looked at her watch and asked in an inquiring tone, "Fourth brother, is it time to call Section Chief Chen?"

Zhang Wenqing then remembered that he was about to call Chen Pei just now, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to dial a number, and after connecting, he asked in a very affectionate tone: "Peipei, I am now at the teahouse on the third floor of the Fenglin Hotel, in the ninth box, can you come over?"

Chen Pei was silent on the phone for a moment and asked, "Senior, just now you said that you invited me to have tea with a few friends, but I forgot to ask: What are your friends doing?

Zhang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "They are indeed from the Finance Bureau of Taolin County, my hometown, one of them is my cousin, who is now the director of the Office of the Taolin County Finance Bureau, and there are two others, one is Director Cai of the County Finance Bureau, and the other is the head of the Budget Unit. ”

Chen Pei heard that his friend was really from the financial system, his tone immediately became cold, and he said a little unpleasantly: "Senior, you started to say that you had tea with a few friends, I thought that I was an alumnus of our university like the previous times, in that case, I would definitely come, but if it is someone from the local finance bureau who has a treat, I'm sorry, I won't attend, I believe you know this better." ”

As she spoke, she hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Wenqing to explain again.
