The meeting has not officially begun, the leaders of the hall have not yet been in place, and the venue is noisy.

These deputy department-level cadres who participated in the meeting were usually the number one people in the (city) and county, but when they arrived in the provincial capital and the large conference room of the provincial department, they were small soldiers. Usually, in a small county town, you still need to put on a posture and put on a leadership style, but there is no need to pretend in this environment, and the quality of the people has immediately lowered a few grades. Everyone laughed from time to time, made loud noises, and made some meat jokes to each other, which seemed very casual and a lot more relaxed.

Among these relaxed crowds, there is one person who seems to be very different, and that is Chu Tianqi. Everyone else was smiling, radiant, and mentally abnormal, but he was the only one who didn't open his eyebrows, his hands folded in front of his chest, or propped up on the table, and he only responded casually with "um" and "ah" when greeted by others. It's not that he's pretending to be high, it's not that he's arrogant, it's that he's really tired.

In the second half of last night, no, to be precise, it was more than five o'clock this morning, and Chu Tianqi returned to his residence. It was nearly six o'clock when he lay down, and he got up again at seven o'clock, and hurriedly took a taxi to the venue, how could he not be sleepy?

In fact, the day before yesterday, because he drank too much at noon, his stomach was uncomfortable, and he slept late, so he didn't rest well. I was going to rest early last night, but I caught up with Jiang Xia to come to the door and was tossed by the other party for most of the night. The other party first opened her mind and cleared up the misunderstanding, and then frequently showed her favor and asked him to "verify"; finally to avoid embarrassment, she went to take a shower, and was teased by the other party's "groping pig hand". When Jiang Xia finished taking a bath, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, she first said that she wanted to rest, and then said that she was going to catch the train and asked him to take her to the station. When he arrived at the station, Jiang Xia insisted that he go to the waiting hall to send him off; he objected on the grounds that "if someone finds out, won't all his efforts be wasted", but she directly replied, "How can there be a leader who came to the station to catch the train in the early morning", and he had to raise his hand to surrender.

finally sent Jiang Xia away, but on the way back to the hotel, Director Zhao was beaten, and as a result, the fight was uneven, and it was delayed for more than an hour. The two nights combined were less than five hours of rest, and last night he only lay down for an hour, so it's no wonder if he wasn't sleepy?

"Mayor Chu, this spectrum is getting bigger and bigger. A voice rang out.

Although the voice was not high, it clearly entered Chu Tianqi's ears, because the person who made the voice was in his ears. He lifted his heavy eyelids and looked back, and behind him stood a woman who was looking at him with a smile. Chu Tianqi hurriedly got up and responded with a little embarrassment: "Hello, County Magistrate Chu." I was a little sleepy and lost for a while. ”

The person who stood there was none other than Chu Tianqi's old acquaintance, Chu Xiaoya, deputy county magistrate of Xuyuan County, Chu Xiaoya was in charge of urban construction just last month. Chu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows: "Look, this tired look." Why are you going to have a good night's rest? Celebrate a holiday? Which confidante is it?"

Naturally, he heard the vinegar and sarcasm in the other party's words, but Chu Tianqi couldn't see the other party in general, so he lied casually: "What festival are you celebrating? I watched a game in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep for a while after watching it. ”

"Watching the game, is it Serie A or Bundesliga, which team won? What is the score? Who scored the most goals?" After a pause, Chu Xiaoya added, "I also watched the game, I don't know if it's the same game?"

"Which one...... Morality...... Meaning...... It seems to be ......" Chu Tianqi couldn't make it up for a while. In the past, he used to watch football a lot, but since he entered politics, he didn't have this time at all, and he didn't have this leisure, and he didn't pay attention to it for several years.

"Don't make it up, you didn't even read it. Isn't it?" Chu Xiaoya sneered.

Chu Tianqi smiled awkwardly: "I just didn't rest well, it's not what you said at all." ”

"Lying, don't you? I don't need to explain it, the more I describe it, the darker it gets. Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoya "giggled", "To tell you the truth, I haven't watched football either, I don't want to sacrifice beauty sleep, and I don't know football, I just listen to my little nephew all day long'Bundesliga' and 'Serie A'." ”

Ahh Why does the brain short-circuit as soon as you meet a woman?

"You should always have something to say about your deception, right?" Chu Xiaoya asked.

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "I invite you to eat at noon." ”

"That's pretty much it. Chu Xiaoya smiled triumphantly, "Eat a big meal." After speaking, he stepped on the sound of "clicking" leather shoes and walked forward.

Chu Tianqi shook his head and was about to sit down, when he found that many people had cast their eyes. Those people probably didn't hear what was being said, but the two tall men and women laughing and talking must have attracted the attention of others. Chu Tianqi found that there was a familiar look in the crowd of watchers, and he hesitated for a moment and walked towards that person.

When he came closer, Chu Tianqi smiled and greeted him: "Hello Secretary Huang, are you also coming to the meeting?"

The other party hesitated for a moment, stood up, and stretched out his right hand: "Xiao Chu, Mayor Chu, has you always been good?" The person who spoke was none other than Chu Tianqi's old acquaintance, and Chu Tianqi's first direct boss after entering politics - Huang Jingzu.

Chu Tianqi held the other party's right hand: "It's okay, it's okay, Secretary Huang's appearance hasn't changed." ”

"It's old. How do you look like you young people?" Huang Jingzu paused, and suddenly said suspiciously, "The complexion is not good, why is it uncomfortable?"

"No, no, I watched the game, I didn't sleep well. Chu Tianqi took out that lie again.

Suddenly, the music sounded.

"Go back to your seat, the meeting is about to begin, and we'll talk again when we have time." Huang Jingzu let go of his right hand.

"Okay, Secretary Huang. Chu Tianqi waved his right hand and turned around and walked to his seat.

Behind Chu Tianqi, Huang Jingzu's smile quickly dissipated, revealing a complicated expression.

Shortly after I sat down, the music went down. A person hurriedly walked up to the backstage, put one table sign on the middle table, and quickly adjusted the position of the other table signs, and then quickly left.

Chu Tianqi found that three words were printed on the table sign: Zhang Tiankai. He couldn't help but wonder: Zhang Pengfei's father is in charge of urban construction?

A burst of applause rang out, from small to large, applause.

A group of people waited, walked up to the rostrum with applause, and sat down behind the table. Zhang Tiankai sat in the middle position, he was slightly older than in the photo, but he was also more official.

Chu Tianqi This is the first time he has seen Zhang Tiankai himself, but he and the other party have been "friends" for a long time, but I don't know if the other party knows whether he has his own person. I don't know if it's suspicious or true, he feels that Zhang Tiankai's eyes seem to be on him.

"Comrades, Vice Governor Zhang Tiankai also attended this meeting, let us welcome and thank you with warm applause......" the moderator said.

"Wow", warm applause sounded again.

……

Afraid that he would fall asleep halfway, Chu Tianqi held on, yawned a lot, and insisted on finishing the morning meeting.

As soon as he got up and left his seat, the mobile phone rang, and after looking at the caller ID, Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button: "Dude, what's the matter?"

"Let's have a treat at noon. Yu Tao's voice came from the phone.

Treat yourself to a treat? This is the first moment. Every time I go to the provincial capital, it is arranged by Yu Tao and Yun Xiangyu, why do you mention it today? With doubts, Chu Tianqi said, "No problem? Is there something wrong?"

"Of course there's something, it's a good thing, it's something to celebrate. Yu Tao's voice was filled with joy.

"What's the good thing? It's like it's true?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

Yu Tao smiled "hehe": "It's not a good thing for you to get together with your girlfriend?"

Girlfriend? Chu Tianqi thought of her for the first time, and couldn't help blurting out: "Have you seen Junqi?

Yu Tao scolded: "What are you pretending to be confused, didn't you both live together last night? I thought you had a new love, it seems that your kid is quite loyal, there are not many men like this." ”

Listening to the other party's tone, and his own guess that the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, it is clearly a fork. So, Chu Tianqi said: "Where are you? How can we be together, I haven't seen her for a long time." ”

Yu Tao's tone was surprised: "Ah, it's not her, who could it be? You won't be hungry and ...... at the hotel."

Chu Tianqi interrupted the other party: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

"You're still hard-mouthed, what's the matter with the lady's little pants?" Yu Tao smiled "hehe", "Dude, didn't I say you, why are you so frivolous, and you still leave the evidence?"

"Come on, what's going on?" Chu Tianqi urged. At the same time, he looked around and walked out of the room quickly.

"Well, you can really pretend, today, I'...... I asked Xiao Wanting to settle your room fee, and the front desk said that there was that object in the room, and asked if you wanted it. Xiao Xiao called me, I had to ask you, I wonder if you want to keep that object as a souvenir?"

Understood, it must be Jiang Xia's. How could she do this? Doesn't this make me speechless? What's even worse is that Xiao Wanting also knows about this, so where does this make her face go? Jiang Xia, you can kill me. Chu Tianqi secretly blamed Jiang Xia.

"Do you want it?" Yu Tao's voice came again, "If you are really too busy, I will send it to you now, and let Xiao Xiao send it to you." ”

"Don't, don't, don't send it. Chu Tianqi hurriedly said, "You and Xiao Xiao said, that's not mine, I will have it when I stay." ”

"Really? Could it be that you are mistaken? I told Xiao Xiao to let the hotel check the surveillance. Yu Tao did not forgive.

"Dude, please, you just say this to her, it's a favor for your buddy, okay?" Chu Tianqi said good things. Suddenly, he thought of a question and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xiao is on his honeymoon in the south." ”

"Hahaha, of course she's on her honeymoon, I'm checking out at Sheraton right now. Speaking of this, Yu Tao changed the topic, "Come over right away and eat together at noon." ”

What to eat? If we eat together, won't let him lose half of his life?" Chu Tianqi hesitated and said, "No, I will continue the meeting in the afternoon, and eat with a few old friends at noon." ”

"What old friend, I think you have a ghost in your heart, right?" Yu Tao let out a lewd laugh as he spoke.

"What are you running?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded behind her, "Isn't it just a meal?"

Without looking back, Chu Tianqi knew that it was Chu Xiaoya, so he replied: "I didn't run, I was fighting ......"

Chu Xiaoya snorted: "I think you have a ghost in your heart." ”

"Dude, I'm going to chase the venue. Yu Tao's voice came from the phone.

Echoing "hateful", Chu Tianqi hung up the phone.

"You say I'm hateful?" Chu Xiaoya looked fierce and blocked in front of her.

"What did I say about you?" Chu Tianqi looked helpless, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

"Look at your reluctance, really. With a mutter, Chu Xiaoya walked forward.

Shaking his head, Chu Tianqi followed the other party.
