Chapter 870: The Change of Old Friends
What surprised Wang Xiaosong was that the place Zhang Xiaolin chose was a little different from the place where they used to meet.
Although Zhang Xiaolin was the deputy county magistrate in the past, his behavior in daily life was actually very casual. When everyone gathers, they often choose some more popular places.
But this time, Zhang Xiaolin's choice of place is Binlai Hotel, and it is also the Cuiwei Hall of Binlai Hotel.
This so-called Cuiwei Hall, which Wang Xiaosong had also known about before, is the most upscale box in Binlai Hotel. It is said that there is a minimum consumption standard here, and it seems that it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars to get in.
Zhang Xiaolin's situation Wang Xiaosong knows very well, he has worked hard for so many years, and he has no gray income, so that people like him can go to Cuiwei Hall to spend money out of his own pocket, it is definitely not as simple as inviting Wang Xiaosong to eat and catch up.
Wang Xiaosong was reluctant to think about Zhang Xiaolin in a bad direction, after all, the two were once close comrades-in-arms. After thinking about it, Wang Xiaosong felt that Zhang Xiaolin probably had some entrepreneur friends, and wanted to get to know Wang Xiaosong through Zhang Xiaolin's introduction.
After thinking about it, Wang Xiaosong sent a message to Zhang Xiaolin: "Lao Zhang, this place is too public." Everyone is their own person, so it's better to get together casually or change places. ”
After the message was sent, a few minutes later, Zhang Xiaolin replied.
"Well, you know you don't necessarily like a place like this. Or Binlai Hotel, just in the Lushan private room in the lobby on the first floor. ”
Wang Xiaosong frowned, the Lushan private room is more affordable than the Cuiwei hall, but relatively speaking, the consumption level is still not low. But now Wang Xiaosong is not willing to find fault anymore, so he no longer speaks.
The next day, when the agreed time arrived, Wang Xiaosong drove to Binlai Hotel in advance, and just arrived at the entrance of the hotel, someone came over and stood in front of Wang Xiaosong's car.
As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Xiaosong unexpectedly found that this person was none other than Wu Xingyu!
Wu Xingyu and his people, in terms of position, are on an equal footing with Wang Xiaosong. The main positions of the two people are the deputy directors of the Party and Government Office of Binlai New District, and they are in no particular order.
But the relationship between the two has always been awkward. Since the last time Wu Xingyu wanted to calculate Wang Xiaosong, but accidentally let Wang Xiaosong seize the opportunity to fight back, Wu Xingyu has been relatively low-key. Unexpectedly, this person would take the initiative to find Wang Xiaosong this time.
Wang Xiaosong became vigilant: "Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to be here." ”
"Hey, I said Lao Wang, everyone is our own comrades, and we are still in the same department. You're out of the name. He still calls me Lao Wubei as before. Wu Xingyu said with a smile.
Wang Xiaosong frowned slightly, and smelled a trace of unusual breath from Wu Xingyu's courteous attitude.
This person was warned and punished because Wang Xiaosong exposed his ambiguous relationship with the female mayor of Dongshan Town, which smeared his career with a disgraceful stroke.
Wu Xingyu is definitely not a person with a big belly, when he sees Wang Xiaosong now, he should be itchy with hate, how could he suddenly be so polite to Wang Xiaosong.
"Xiaosong!"
At this time, another voice came from not far away, Wang Xiaosong followed the voice, and saw Zhang Xiaolin trotting all the way over, and a smile appeared on Wang Xiaosong's face: "Lao Zhang!"
Zhang Xiaolin ran over, Wu Xingyu greeted Zhang Xiaolin with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you have to have a big face, if it's me, it is estimated that our Director Wang will not come today." ”
Wang Xiaosong looked at these two people with some surprise: "Lao Zhang, what's the situation?"
"It's all friends, I'm not the only one who invited you to dinner today, isn't it Lao Wu who is also here. Zhang Xiaolin said.
Wang Xiaosong hurriedly kept his surprised expression, walked to Zhang Xiaolin's side with a black face, and pulled Zhang Xiaolin to the side: "Lao Zhang, which one did you sing to me today? Who is Wu Xingyu, you got together with him? You listen to my advice, it's not good for you to deal with this kind of person!"
Zhang Xiaolin waved his hand: "Okay, I know what you said makes sense." In this way, you should give me a face today. Let's eat in a private room first, okay? What is the specific situation, let's talk slowly at the dinner table. ”
Zhang Xiaolin said this, and Wang Xiaosong was really embarrassed to refuse anymore. After all, the relationship between the two people is there, and besides, Wang Xiaosong is still relatively confident in Zhang Xiaolin's professional ethics.
In the end, several people walked into the private room, and in the private room, Wang Xiaosong saw another person.
Over the years, Wang Xiaosong has read countless people, and the person in front of him looks polite and polite, and he looks very elegant when he dresses up, but Wang Xiaosong can smell the smell of money in this person's body by snorting!
As soon as he smelled this smell, Wang Xiaosong shouted 'Oops' in his heart, from ancient times to the present, once money and power are mixed together, it must not be a good thing.
This person introduced himself: "Hello Director Wang, let me introduce myself, my name is Qiao Heliang, and I am a businessman who does some small business in our Chuanyang City. ”
As soon as he heard this person introduce himself, Wang Xiaosong chuckled in his heart.
Wang Xiaosong couldn't help but think of the Qiao family in the provincial capital with whom he had a holiday before, by the way, this person also claimed to be doing business in Chuanyang City, it seems that there must be something between them.
"Lao Zhang, didn't you say that today is a gathering of a few of our old friends? What is the situation? You asked me to give you face, I gave you face, and now that I am sitting here, you should give me a clear explanation. Wang Xiaosong said.
Zhang Xiaolin looked a little embarrassed: "Qiao is always a friend of mine, and this old Wu is also a friend of Mr. Qiao." Joe always wants to get to know you through the two of us, and then talk about something. ”
Wang Xiaosong frowned: "What's the situation?"
"That's right, isn't there a little problem in Longbei Town and Village recently. Ren Qiao always wants to talk to you about the problem of this horse village. Zhang Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Immediately when it comes to the village's problems, I only listen to safety experts, planning experts, environmental experts. I don't know what kind of achievements you have made in Mr. Qiao?" Wang Xiaosong directly wanted to block the channel for Qiao Heliang to speak.
However, Qiao Heliang didn't care at all: "Director Wang smiled, I'm not an expert. But I can talk to you about it from a businessman's point of view. ”
