Yanyun City, the provincial capital, is a local restaurant with "Xiangyin".

In the small private room of "nostalgia" on the second floor, there are a man and a woman, although there are only two people, but the atmosphere is very active.

The boy raised his glass again: "Jiaojiao, thank you, thank you for helping me so much." I ......"

The girl interrupted the boy: "Old leader, after a meal, you have said thank you more than ten times, are you annoyed? I don't know if you're too polite now, or if you're too different from me. When you were in Qingniuyu Township, you weren't like that. If you're going to be so polite again, I'm not going to eat it. ”

The boy smiled "hehe": "Even if you don't say it, we should also withdraw." Just now, the waiter asked us if we wanted to add food, but it was actually a reminder that 'it's time'. ”

"Really, it can't be a deliberate excuse for you to worry about spending too much money, is it......?" said the girl, looking at the time, "Ah, nine-fifty, that's too fast." ”

"We've been drinking for three hours. What do you think?" the boy passed his glass forward, "how about three more?"

"Good. The girl replied, clinking glasses with the boy and drinking the wine. Then he stared at the boy for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid it's not just because the restaurant is closing, it's the third time you've said the word 'withdraw', and eighty percent of them are someone who wants to see Ning Meiren and Junqi's sister." Isn't that right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, what's the matter?" the boy denied.

"What's this, it's normal for old lovers to meet. Today is New Year's Day, and you can relive the old dream with your old lover and start again! You two ...... in Qingniuyu Township for a while" The girl mentioned the old days, and "giggled" while talking.

The boy is Chu Tianqi, member of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, and the girl is Lu Jiaojiao, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Department of the Hexi Provincial Department of Commerce, presiding over the work of the department.

Lu Jiaojiao has only been promoted to deputy director for half a year, and was previously a section chief under the Investment Promotion Department. When Lu Jiaojiao was promoted to the deputy department, his father Lu Mingzhang was retreating to the second line, and it is rumored that Lu Mingzhang used two years of early retirement to win a half-level promotion for his daughter. Of course, this is just a rumor, and no one will verify it in person. However, Lu Jiaojiao also admitted to Chu Tianqi that if it weren't for her father, this position might not be her turn.

Today is Chu Tianqi's special banquet for Lu Jiaojiao, thanking her and thanking her for her help.

More than ten days ago, Chu Tianqi called Lu Jiaojiao and said that he was advertising in the Provincial Department of Commerce. At first, Lu Jiaojiao was a little strange, and wondered how Chu Tianqi was in charge of attracting investment again. Chu Tianqi told Lu Jiaojiao that "advertising is fake, and stimulating Pengcheng Company is true", and briefly talked about Pengyan and Pengcheng. When ordinary people hear Peng Yan and Peng Cheng, they often think of the people behind the two companies, and they think of whether to offend each other. But Lu Jiaojiao trusted Chu Tianqi very much, and she was not afraid of these at all, so she took it directly and promised to help teach Zhang Pengfei a good lesson. The contact number that Chu Tianqi gave to Cao Jinhai was from Lu Jiaojiao's office.

After Lu Jiaojiao received the content of Cao Jinhai's post, she suggested to Chu Tianqi that individual words and sentences in it be changed, and in this way, the investment advertisement became to promote Chengkang City Construction. The advantage of this change is that, first of all, the publicity cost is reasonably avoided, and you can go to the publicity section of the business hall for free. Secondly, it also won more room for Chu Tianqi's follow-up operations.

Today happened to be the New Year's Day holiday, and Chu Tianqi rushed to the provincial capital from Chengkang, not only to thank Lu Jiaojiao, but also to inquire about some things.

Hearing that Chu Tianqi wanted to invite herself, Lu Jiaojiao said that she wanted to kill the "old leader" well, and also named several high-end restaurants for Chu Tianqi to choose. Just when Chu Tianqi was about to book a table at one of them, Lu Jiaojiao preemptively called and chose this local restaurant, her reason was that she was tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Chu Tianqi understands that the other party may also be really tired of eating a big restaurant, but choosing here today is obviously to save himself money. The reason why she said this was mainly to take care of her own face and make it easy for her to accept. Chu Tianqi tried his best to change places, and said that he had brought enough money, but Lu Jiaojiao refused with the sentence "I am in charge of my territory".

"Old leader, what are you in a daze? It arouses your feelings?" Lu Jiaojiao had already finished talking about Chu and Ning's previous troubles, and was looking at each other with a smile.

"Come, drink. Chu Tianqi raised his wine glass to hide his embarrassment.

"Drinking. Lu Jiaojiao spoke in a long tone to show her teasing of the other party.

After drinking this cup, Lu Jiaojiao immediately filled the two glasses with wine, and raised the glass again: "Old leader, I am usually so busy with work, and it is not easy to come to the provincial capital, so I won't delay your appointment." Here, cheers, and good luck on the date. ”

"How can there be a date?" Chu Tianqi said this, but he still toasted to the other party happily.

"Let's go. Putting down the wine glass, Lu Jiaojiao stood up.

Chu Tianqi also stood up, took out his mobile phone, and dialed it out. As soon as the phone rang, he said, "Are you in the car?...... Okay, we'll get out right away. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Chu Tianqi was calling Li Jian just now, and the three of them originally said that they would eat together, but Li Jian went to the restaurant next to him to eat on the grounds that he was "not used to eating spicy dishes". Chu Tianqi knew that the sharp sword was to not disturb himself and talk to Lu Jiaojiao. This is good, and it is also awkward to save the sword, so he approved the choice of the sword.

After settling the bill at the front desk, Chu Tianqi and Lu Jiaojiao walked out of the restaurant, and the "Santana 2000" was parked outside the restaurant.

Opening the right rear side door, Chu Tianqi made a "please" action.

"Mayor Chu is too polite and very gentlemanly. Laughing, Lu Jiaojiao sat up.

Chu Tianqi held on to the car door and said, "Let Lijian send you first, I'll walk around the street casually and call me when I get home." ”

Lu Jiaojiao was surprised: "Ah, don't you go together, so anxious to meet ......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chu Tianqi closed the car door.

"Santana 2000" started, the right rear side window opened, and Lu Jiaojiao's voice came out: "Heavy color and light friends." ”

The car pulled out of the small parking lot and onto the road.

……

Chu Tianqi did not leave immediately, but lit a cigarette and smoked it, smoking one after another.

After smoking three cigarettes at intervals, Chu Tianqi slowly came to the side of the road, stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and sat down.

The driver, after asking the destination, started the car.

While driving, the driver asked, "Take the outer ring or the city?"

Chu Tianqi replied: "Urban area." ”

"The urban area is afraid of traffic jams, and it is not as fast as the outer ring, and the cost may be high. The driver reminded.

"Just go downtown. Chu Tianqi gave an affirmative answer.

The driver stopped talking and concentrated on driving the car.

Chu Tianqi leaned back in the chair, stared ahead, and glanced at the reversing mirror from time to time.

After more than ten minutes of smooth driving, the taxi arrived in the downtown area, and sure enough, the traffic jam slowed down suddenly. After driving like a snail for nearly half an hour, the car was finally able to drive normally again.

Passing through the front alley, and then crossing a street, it is not far from the accommodation hotel, and there are only five or six kilometers left when it is full, Chu Tianqi smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Ding Bang Bang", the mobile phone rang.

took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button.

Lu Jiaojiao's voice immediately came out of the mobile phone: "I'm home." ”

Chu Tianqi sighed: "That's good, I'll rest assured, good night." ”

"Wait, why are you hanging up the phone in such a hurry?" Lu Jiaojiao said hurriedly, "Where is the old leader? Bacheng is opposite to your Ning Meiren with tears in his eyes, right? You ......?"

Chu Tianqi interrupted the other party: "Nonsense, I'm almost at the hotel." ”

"Ah, you two went straight to the hotel?" Giggles......" Lu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Old leader, don't worry, although I often give her problems when I am in the township, but I won't make trouble when you two meet again after a long absence, I ......"

Chu Tianqi suddenly said, "Pay attention." ”

"I ...... note" Lu Jiaojiao only said two words.

The taxi had stopped, Chu Tianqi was holding his mobile phone and looking ahead, he had already hung up the phone. The word "attention" just now was not said to Lu Jiaojiao, but to the taxi driver.

At this time, the taxi had just turned into the alley. There were five people standing in front of the taxi, and five people also appeared at the entrance of the alley behind them, with a car crossing the five people.

The alley is not wide, but it can accommodate two cars in the wrong car. The street lights in the alley are not lit, but it is enough to see the people in front of and behind the car. The ten people in front of the car and behind the car, all with black hoods and sticks in their hands, were obviously coming for the taxi.

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

Seeing that it was the number of the sharp sword, Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button and said directly: "I have come out of the restaurant, on the way back to the hotel by taxi, I may have a little trouble here, you come to pick me up." I have now arrived at Yimin Lane, which is an alley on the east side of Xueyuan Road, and there is a Yimin supermarket at the west exit of the alley, so you can take Xueyuan Road and come in from the west intersection next to Yimin Supermarket. "This place is very close to the Provincial Party School, Chu Tianqi has walked through this alley several times, and is very familiar with the road conditions in this area. When he checked into the hotel in the afternoon, he also paid attention and found that the Yimin supermarket was still in its original location.

"Understood, the mayor is safe and waiting for me to go. Li Jian's voice stopped abruptly when he said this. Obviously, he had already understood what Chu Tianqi meant, and immediately rushed here.

The driver turned his head to look at the big man in the car, and said with trepidation: "This, what's going on?"

"It's okay, I'm here. Chu Tianqi comforted the other party.

The driver froze for a moment, then turned his head to look around, and then turned back again, his tone even more alarmed: "They started to walk by, what should I do?"

Chu Tianqi had already noticed that the people in front of the car and behind the car were approaching the taxi, and the speed was extremely slow, obviously the other party was also very careful. He smiled and said to the driver, "Have you ever encountered this kind of thing before?"

"Once, but there were only two of them, and I rushed straight over. The driver said as he looked out uneasily.

"Do you dare to rush over today?" Chu Tianqi asked.

Before the driver could reply, a voice had already sounded outside: "Boy, get down, Lao Tzu wants parts on you." ”
