Chen Pei heard Su Yetai's surprise shout, turned his head to look at him, smiled slightly and said, "Hello County Magistrate Su." ”

Su Yetai ran over in three steps and two steps, held Chen Pei's hand tightly, shook it enthusiastically, and said in a slightly complaining tone: "Section Chief Chen, didn't you say yes when we drank in the provincial capital last time? If you come to Taolin, you must notify me and let me do my best to be a landlord, and you also agreed at that time, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came this time?"

Chen Pei replied: "I came to Lu Tao to drink birthday wine this time, I only arrived last night, and I will rush back to the provincial capital after dinner, I really can't spare time to meet the leaders of Taolin, please forgive the county magistrate Su." Next time, if you have the opportunity to come to Taolin again, you will definitely make a special trip to visit County Magistrate Su!"

When he saw Su Yetai greet Chen Pei and ran over there to talk to her, Cai Changming couldn't help but secretly scream "Oops" in his heart.

It turned out that after returning from the provincial capital last time, Su Yetai repeatedly told Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing: If Chen Pei comes to Songshan City or Taolin County Finance Bureau on a business trip, he must be notified as soon as possible. After he and Xia Bingbing visited Chen Pei at Lu Tao's house last night, they were originally going to tell Su Yetai the news that Chen Pei was coming, but when he was drinking at O'Neill Seafood City, he accidentally drank high, returned home in a daze, and slept until half past eleven in the morning......

Fortunately, Su Yetai didn't know that Cai Changming and Xia Bingbing had visited Chen Pei last night, and when he saw Xia Bingbing and Chen Pei sitting together, he thought that they had just met, so he turned his head and beckoned to Cai Changming and said, "Old Cai, Section Chief Chen is here, don't you come to say hello?" Last time, Section Chief Chen helped our county so much and won us millions of yuan in extra funds, you should wait to give Section Chief Chen a few glasses of wine to express your gratitude!

Cai Changming hurriedly responded with a smile and said "yes", and then said to Luo Qiulin: "Secretary Luo, Section Chief Chen Pei Chen of the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance is here, and he is sitting at the next table, do you want to go over and say hello to her? Last time we went to the provincial capital to fight for financial subsidy funds, Section Chief Chen helped me a lot. Section Chief Chen is now the person in charge of the county and township group of the budget department, and we will rely on her in many places in terms of financial funds in the future. ”

Because Lu Tao's relatives sat at this table, Cai Changming couldn't directly say that Chen Pei was the daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen of the Provincial Party Committee, but moved out of her title as the head of the county and township group of the budget department......

Luo Qiulin had actually heard of Chen Pei's name for a long time, but he didn't expect her to come to Lu Tao's mother's birthday banquet...... Xiao Lu, let's go over together, it's best to invite Section Chief Chen to this table, and I'll toast her with a glass of wine later. ”

Lu Tao had no choice but to accompany him to Chen Pei's side and introduce her to her: "Pei Pei, this is Secretary Luo of the Taolin County Party Committee. ”

Chen Pei stood up very politely, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook Luo Qiulin, and said with a smile: "Secretary Luo is good." ”

Luo Qiulin said with a smile on his face: "Hello Section Chief Chen! I heard Comrade Cai Changming say that last time our county finance bureau went to the provincial finance department to obtain subsidy funds for the construction of new rural areas, you gave them meticulous care and care, and won several million more funds for our county, which made me very moved. Our Taolin County is now in full swing to carry out the construction of the new countryside, Section Chief Chen has given us these funds, for us to carry out poverty alleviation and new rural construction work to provide a strong support and guarantee, on behalf of the county's more than 1.4 million people, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. ”

Chen Pei saw that he was full of officialdom, and his heart was a little disgusted, but the smile on his face did not decrease, and he said politely: "Secretary Luo has a good reputation! The allocation of 10 million funds to your Taolin County is a decision made by the leaders of the provincial department according to the actual situation and needs of the construction of the new countryside in your county, and I just made a small suggestion to the leaders and specifically implemented the leaders' decision. If you want to thank you, you should thank the leaders who made the decision. Lu Tao and I are classmates, and I happen to be in that position, as long as I can help your county, I will definitely do my best. ”

At this time, Liu Hong walked over from the next table, pulled Lu Tao aside, and whispered: "Xiao Lu, there are more leaders who came today, if they all sit in this hall, the impact will not be good." Otherwise, I will go to the banquet hall to arrange a large box, and invite the leaders to sit in the box, the box is not as noisy as outside, and it is more convenient for the leaders to chat. ”

Lu Tao raised his eyes and looked, only to see that there were still people coming in one after another at the door, and he didn't know any of them, it was estimated that they were all relatives and friends of Liu Hong or Du Xiaoyu, if Luo Qiulin and others were allowed to sit in the banquet hall to drink and eat, first, it would be too noisy, and secondly, in front of so many people, they would not be happy to drink, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, please arrange it!"

Liu Hong nodded, turned his head to look at Chen Pei, and said, "If the leaders go to the box to sit, you must invite Deputy Secretary Chen's daughter to the box." To tell you the truth, just now Deputy Secretary Du and Director Qiu came to me and said that they wanted to meet Deputy Secretary Chen's daughter, and I guess Secretary Luo also had this idea. Actually, it's normal for leaders to think this way, right?"

Lu Tao just saw that Du Shangwu and Qiu Aihua did pull Liu Hong aside and whisper a few words, it turned out that they were talking about this matter, and he felt a little funny in his heart, and he despised them a little, but his face was calm, and he replied: "Okay, I'll invite her to the box later." ”

Liu Hong nodded, turned his head to look at Lu Tao's mother, who was sitting in the chief, and said: "Your mother is today's birthday star, and she must sit in the hall and can't go to the box, so you have to explain to her and your relatives later, it's not that the leaders don't sit with the birthday star, but in order to avoid suspicion and facilitate the leaders to drink and chat, so you can only go to the box to sit, please understand." ”

Lu Tao smiled and said: "My mother is fine, I guess she still has to share the table with the leaders, so she will be much more relaxed." ”

Later, Lu Tao came to his mother and told her Liu Hong's proposal, and her mother said happily: "It should be like this, it should be like this!" This banquet hall is messy, noisy and noisy, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring, the leaders are embarrassed to drink too much, so they should go to the box to be cleaner. ”

Tian Guodong also heard Lu Tao's words, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Tao, how many people can sit in the box? If you can sit down, I and your second and third uncles will go to the box to sit!"

Lu Tao knew that his eldest uncle was the most snobbish and eager to make friends with officialdom, so he had to agree: "Okay, the three uncles all go to the box to sit, they should be able to sit down." ”
