After returning to the government hotel, Chu Tianqi didn't go anywhere that afternoon, just drilled in the room. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, he received an invitation from Secretary General Liu to "sit in the evening", but he also pushed it off with "being outside with friends".

The next day, Chu Tianqi deliberately got up late and didn't go there.

At half past two in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi dialed Secretary Meng's number.

After two ringbacks, a voice came from the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

Chu Tianqi said: "Director Meng, hello, I am Chu Tianqi, executive deputy mayor of Woyuan City, Hexi Province, and I am ...... by the Hexi Provincial Government."

The other party interjected: "Mayor Chu, I know you, Secretary-General Liu has already told me about you, and Secretary-General Chen has also said it." Do you want to see Governor Meng?"

"Yes, I would like to meet with Governor Meng. Chu Tianqi replied.

"Now Governor Meng is still inspecting in the county. After a pause, the other party added, "The original plan was to go back to the province this morning, but as a result, two more counties were added temporarily, and it is estimated that there will be a day or two more to go." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "That's the case." Well, thank you, Director Meng. ”

"You're welcome, Mayor Chu can come to me at any time, just call me Xiao Meng. The other party's tone was very humble.

"Thank you, Director Meng, don't bother. After thanking him again, Chu Tianqi hung up the phone.

Since Governor Meng is not in the unit, he can only wait a little longer.

This time, he was mentally prepared, and Chu Tianqi did not wait, but improved and revised some of the documents he brought.

Time is not slow, and two more days have passed.

At half past eight in the morning, Chu Tianqi dialed Secretary Meng's mobile phone again.

"Dut...... Toot ......",

After two ringback tones, a low voice came from the mobile phone: "Mayor Chu, you are in a meeting." ”

Hearing such a voice, Chu Tianqi also lowered his voice: "When will it end?"

"I don't know, I shouldn't have time today, I have to visit the site after the meeting, so let's just next week. The other party's voice stopped abruptly.

"Well, next week. Chu Tianqi sighed, called Han Pengcheng, and reported the situation here.

Han Pengcheng told him that he was not in a hurry, it was definitely not so fast, so he should be at ease.

Don't be impatient, if you come, you will be safe, Chu Tianqi drilled in the hotel in northern Jinbei Province for three days.

……

A new week has begun, and it's November.

When he got up in the morning, Chu Tianqi did not call, but rushed to the Jinbei Provincial Government at eight o'clock.

With the lesson of last week, the security personnel of the provincial government immediately learned to be obedient, and when they saw Chu Tianqi coming, the white-faced security guard went directly to greet him: "Mayor Chu, hello! What are your instructions?"

"I'm going to visit Governor Meng. Chu Tianqi said and handed over the documents.

"No, no. The white-faced security guard accompanied the smiling face.

"The rules can't be broken. Chu Tianqi put the documents on the table.

"That's good, that's good. The white-faced security guard nodded, filled out the content of the meeting form on behalf of Chu Tianqi, and pointed to the meeting form and said, "Mayor Chu, please sign here." ”

Signing his name, Chu Tianqi pushed the meeting slip over: "Do you contact, or do I contact?"

"No, no, please!" the white-faced security guard smiled and showed his back molars, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears.

"Then I'll get in touch. Chu Tianqi said, called up a mobile phone number, but asked the security again, "What is the office number of Director Meng?"

"It's this. The white-faced security guard quickly wrote a number, hurriedly added the area code, and handed the paper to Chu Tianqi.

According to the number on the note, Chu Tianqi dialed it.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

A ringback sounded, but no one answered.

No one answered.

This time, Chu Tianqi changed the mobile phone number to dial.

"Dut...... Toot ......",

After two ringback tones, a voice came from the phone: "Hello, who are you?"

Chu Tianqi was stunned, and then replied: "I am Chu Tianqi from Woyuan City, Hexi Province, and I ......."

The voice on the mobile phone became enthusiastic: "Mayor Chu, I'm really sorry, I was about to go driving, and I answered it with headphones, but I didn't see the caller ID." Do you still want to see the provincial governor? It's really unfortunate that Governor Meng had some trouble this morning and didn't arrive at the unit. ”

"Alright then, I'm sorry for you. After expressing his apologies, Chu Tianqi asked again, "Is the leader coming to the unit in the afternoon?"

"Afternoon...... I'm not sure, but you'll be in touch then, okay?"

"Okay, thank you!"

After ending the call, Chu Tianqi turned around and walked over.

The white-faced security guard immediately followed, all the way to the door of the hall, and did not forget to say "pay attention to the steps".

In the afternoon, Chu Tianqi did not go to the provincial government, but called Secretary Meng several times, and the other party said that Governor Meng had not arrived at the unit.

Early Tuesday morning, Chu Tianqi went again, and contacted downstairs again. But Secretary Meng told him that Governor Meng was still not there, and he didn't come back from going out yesterday afternoon.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Chu Tianqi went to the provincial government in the morning and afternoon, and the reply he received was either that Governor Meng was holding a meeting, or that he was going to the countryside to inspect it, or that there was something wrong.

Alas, another week. Chu Tianqi sighed secretly, turned around and left.

may have noticed Mayor Chu's displeasure, and the white-faced security guard smiled more and lost more.

Chu Tianqi ignored this kind of condescending person, but continued to walk. When I arrived at the door of the hall, I realized that there was something wrong with my actions, some of them were too petty, and I still held grudges. So he turned his head and wanted to nod at the other party.

At this time, the white-faced security guard had stepped aside, muttering something to the black-faced security guard.

One of the two lowered his head, and the other turned sideways, not seeing Chu Tianqi. But Chu Tianqi noticed the shape of the black-faced security's lips, and he seemed to read the meaning of the lip shape, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Mayor Chu, are you still there?" a voice sounded.

This salutation called back Chu Tianqi's gaze, and also called away the two who were whispering, and the two of them looked extremely embarrassed.

Chu Tianqi looked over and saw Secretary-General Liu stepping on the steps. He greeted warmly: "Hello Secretary General Liu!"

Holding the other party's right hand, Secretary-General Liu asked, "Mayor Chu, are you here again?"

"I've been in Jinbei. ”

"I thought you were back. ”

Go back? I didn't see Governor Meng, how could I go back? Chu Tianqi couldn't help but wonder. So he said vaguely: "But I haven't been staying in the provincial capital, sometimes I come to the government, sometimes I go down there." ”

Secretary-General Liu said "oh": "That's the case." In fact, you should ask every day, so you don't always see it. ”

There's something to be said about that. Chu Tianqi then said: "Sometimes I come here to take a look, sometimes I call, just now the phone is always busy, so I'll go back first." ”

"Don't go back, just wait here, I remember that Governor Meng seems to be there today, will he not come." I'll ask Secretary Meng. Secretary-General Liu said, took out his mobile phone, and dialed it.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Secretary General Liu said into the phone, "It's me...... Xiao Meng, where are you?...... It's in the unit. Governor Meng is not there, and Mayor Chu wants to find him. …… Governor Meng was not there?...... Oh well. ”

Hanging up the phone, Secretary General Liu said: "Xiao Meng said that Governor Meng didn't come in the afternoon. So, go up and sit down, and I'll invite you to eat ......."

At this moment, Secretary General Liu's phone rang again. Nodding apologetically at Chu Tianqi, he connected: "Hello Governor Niu...... Okay, I'll wait. ”

Ending the call, Secretary-General Liu apologized again: "Mayor Chu, I'm really sorry, Governor Niu just informed me to wait for a group of guests, I originally planned to invite you to dinner." In this way, tomorrow will be off, there should be nothing to do, and tomorrow I will invite you. ”

"You're welcome, I'm going to the county two days after tomorrow to meet two friends. Chu Tianqi made up a reason.

Secretary-General Liu spread his hands: "Then, that can only be another day." I'm really sorry, you've been here for so many days, and I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, please give me a chance. ”

Chu Tianqi saw the sincerity of the other party, and also knew that the other party definitely didn't have to worry about the banquet expenses, so he also said sincerely: "Thank you, Secretary General Liu, this is already very grateful, I will invite you when I have time." ”

"What is this called, how can I let you have a treat when you get here? Okay, I'll take time next week, and I'll sit in the east. As soon as Secretary-General Liu said this, his mobile phone rang again.

Waving his hand at the other party, Chu Tianqi turned around and walked away. At the moment of turning, he noticed that the black and white security guard was standing in front of the window, looking out. When he saw himself twisting his face, he looked away, looking very secretive.

……

With suspicion, Chu Tianqi left the Jinbei Provincial Government, got into an off-road vehicle, and thought about what happened just now.

Judging from the tone of Secretary-General Liu just now, Governor Meng must have been there in the past few days, and he may be there now. And I contacted every day, either to the unit, or to make a phone call, and I typed several times a day, but why didn't I see Governor Meng, and I didn't get a positive answer.

The expression of the black and white security guard was also abnormal, and the two of them muttered quietly, looking at the shape of their lips, it was clear that Secretary Meng was upstairs.

In fact, Secretary Meng's answer just now was also inconsistent. When answering his own phone, he made it clear that Governor Meng was not there, and he was not there. However, when answering the phone call from Secretary General Liu, he claimed that he was in the unit. And when he heard that he was looking for the governor, he paused and then replied to Secretary General Liu, saying that Governor Meng was not there. This is even stranger.

Judging from Secretary Meng's performance, it is very similar to Wang Aoyu, the secretary of Governor Lu, except that his attitude is much better, but he is seriously suspected of lying. Do you want to expose the lie yourself, or do you want to get to the bottom of it? But what if the result is still like this next week, and the cycle repeats itself?

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

Glancing at the caller ID, Chu Tianqi answered the phone: "Mayor." ”

"Is it cold in the province? It's a change here, be careful not to catch a cold." Han Pengcheng was full of concern.

"Not too cold. Knowing what the mayor was more concerned about, Chu Tianqi then reported on the situation this week, of course, he didn't talk about his doubts.

Han Pengcheng instructed Chu Tianqi not to worry, and ended the call.

Holding his mobile phone, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but ask again: Is Governor Meng really not there?
