Early the next morning, Chu Tianqi appeared in the building of the Provincial Department of Communications, he returned to the provincial capital last night and came out of his home this morning.

At nearly five o'clock yesterday afternoon, Chu Tianqi received a call from Xue Liang. Xue Liang said on the phone that he still hadn't contacted Governor Lu, and asked Chu Tianqi to go to the provincial hall and have something to say in person. Although Xue Liang did not say it explicitly on the phone, Chu Tianqi knew that it must be that the matter of finding the provincial leader was not going well. So he showed up at the reception dinner, and after presiding over the opening wine, he entrusted Xu Minxia and Mi Yuelin Haosheng to entertain Mayor Liu and his party, and went to the province overnight.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chu Tianqi set off from his home, there was no traffic jam on the road, and he arrived at the Provincial Transportation Department at nearly eight o'clock. I just came here a few days ago, and the secretary of the director sent it directly downstairs, and the security guard remembered the license plate of the car, and today it was successfully released.

Coming to the lobby of the office building, because of the "familiar face", after completing the registration procedures, the security personnel let him go, and Chu Tianqi went straight to the upstairs.

It was indeed early, and when Chu Tianqi went upstairs, the whole corridor was very quiet, the kind of quiet that there were no people. After that, people arrived one after another, but it seems that most of them are secretaries and handling personnel.

At half past eight in two minutes, accompanied by the secretary, Director Xue Liang walked out of the elevator.

"Mayor Chu, it's so early. Xue Liang greeted warmly.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly greeted him: "Hall chief is early! I have just arrived." ”

The three of them followed each other and entered the director's office one after another. After making tea for the guests, the secretary of the hall head withdrew from the room, leaving only Chu Tianqi and Xue Liang in the office.

Xue Liang's expression gradually became serious, and his tone was also very solemn: "Mayor Chu, it has been more than three weeks since you came last time. Entrusted by Han Pengcheng, I also contacted Governor Lu many times, but until now, I have not received a response, and I feel deeply guilty. I invite you here today to tell you, or you should contact yourself, maybe there is me in the middle, and some words may be even more difficult to say. ”

What the other party said was expected by himself, but Chu Tianqi still asked suspiciously: "Director Xue, is there anything to say, or have you heard something?"

Xue Liang shook his head: "I haven't heard anything, it's been more than twenty days, and I haven't even done such a thing, I'm very sorry for Lao Han, so I have to declare it to you." ”

"Since that's the case, then don't bother the director. For our business, let the hall director be in a hurry, we are very grateful, thank you!" Chu Tianqi said, bowing deeply.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Xue Liang's face: "Mayor Chu, I'm really embarrassed! You told Lao Han that I couldn't help in this matter, I'm ashamed, if I can manage it in the future, I will definitely try my best to help." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" After thanking him again, Chu Tianqi walked out of the director's office.

Coming downstairs in the car, Chu Tianqi asked Yue Ji to drive first, and he dialed Han Pengcheng's office number.

After the ringback sound sounded twice, a voice came from the mobile phone: "Mayor Tianqi, is there something wrong?"

"Mayor, I've arrived in the province, and I just came out of the provincial transportation department. Chu Tianqi said.

The other party said "oh": "It's early enough." How's that going?"

"Nope. At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Director Xue ......, "Chu Tianqi told Xue Liang about his phone call yesterday, and also talked about the situation of meeting Xue Liang just now.

There was silence in the phone for a while, and then a voice came out again: "So, Lao Xue retreated, so there must be something to say here." Maybe it was inconvenient for Lao Xue to say, maybe he felt something. Which do you think should be the case?"

"It's hard to say now, but I can see that Director Xue is quite embarrassed, and he really bothered about this matter. I guess maybe the provincial leader has an opinion on the project, or there are other reasons, so I should find the leader first and see what the situation is. Chu Tianqi replied.

"Now that Lao Xue doesn't come forward, we can only deal with it ourselves. The key is to do this before, otherwise it will be done first. After saying something that seemed to be a complaint, the other party said, "Then who are you looking for now?"

Chu Tianqi said: "Find Governor Lu first and see what he says." ”

"Good. Feel free to contact us if you have any information. The other party agreed with the suggestion.

Ending the call with Han Pengcheng, Chu Tianqi said to Yue Jixian: "The provincial government." ”

Yue Jixian didn't speak, but the car went out of the yard and turned in the direction of the provincial government.

……

When he came to the gate of the provincial government, he registered according to the requirements of the guard, and Chu Tianqi returned to the car.

The gear lever was raised, and the car drove into the yard.

The car stopped under the steps in front of the building, and Chu Tianqi got down from the car and walked up the steps.

When I entered the provincial government office building, I still asked for registration, and this time it was more detailed than the registration at the entrance of the hospital. Not only are they required to show their ID and fill in the person they are meeting with, but they are also asked to speak to the other party and get permission.

Chu Tianqi had Lu Zhenshan's office number, but he couldn't call it rashly, and he didn't know his secretary's phone number, so he asked the security personnel to help contact him.

Seeing that he was not very old, and the other party did not have the phone number of the leader and secretary, the security personnel looked indifferent, and their tone was a little stiff: "Where are you and what is your name?"

"My name is Chu Tianqi, and I am the executive vice mayor of Woyuan City. Chu Tianqi reported the way.

looked at each other suspiciously, and the security personnel were a little softer, but they still had a look at the entrance of the big ya: "Okay." ”

Picking up the receiver, the security guard dialed a few numbers, with a smile on his face, waiting for the other party to speak.

After a while, a voice came out of the earpiece: "Where?"

The security officer smiled even more, and said to the earpiece: "Director Wang, I am the hall security bear, that is the medium one, with a few small freckles on his face, and his accent is ......."

The other party interrupted directly: "What's the matter?"

"There is a person who wants to see Governor Lu, his name is ...... It's Wo's original, it's called ......" The security bear smiled the same. Speaking of this, he faced Chu Tianqi again, "What's your name?"

"Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi said his name.

"Chu Tianqi. Security Bear repeated those three words.

There was a pause in the earpiece before another voice came out: "The governor is not here." ”

The security bear let out an "oh" and was about to put down the receiver.

Chu Tianqi took the earpiece with his hand: "Wait, wait." Director Wang, when is the governor here?"

"Who are you?" the voice in the earpiece was alert.

"I'm Chu Tianqi from Woyuan City. Chu Tianqi once again reported his name and surname.

"I don't know, Governor Lu is very busy. There was a "pop" sound on the phone, followed by a "beep" busy tone.

The earpiece was snatched away just now, and Secretary Wang didn't seem to be very happy, and the security bear took the earpiece back as if retaliating, and his tone was also very blunt: "Let's go." ”

Looking at the other party's expression, Chu Tianqi was very funny, "poof" for a while, turned around and walked away.

Looking at the departing tall figure, the security bear cub's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. But looking at the shape of the lips, it should be a word like "neurosis".

Stupidly arrived downstairs, Chu Tianqi looked back at the solemn building, opened the door and got into the car.

……

At half past two in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi took an off-road vehicle and arrived outside the gate of the provincial government again.

The car barrier was still horizontal, and the doorman said in the guard's room: "Register." ”

Chu Tianqi got out of the car, went to the doorman's room to fill in the relevant information, and only returned to the car after the doorman nodded.

The gear lever was raised, and the black SUV drove in.

The car was still parked under the steps, Chu Tianqi got out of the car, and the off-road vehicle drove away.

Stepping on the steps, Chu Tianqi entered the office building. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the security bear, and the bear naturally saw him.

Coming to the registration desk, Chu Tianqi took the initiative to say: "Comrade, I see Governor Lu. ”

"You've been here in the morning, isn't the governor out of time?" said the bear.

"Yes, Governor Lu was busy in the morning, so I came in the afternoon. Chu Tianqi replied truthfully.

Little Bear let out an "oh" and said lazily: "Show your ID and fill out the form." ”

Chu Tianqi took out the documents, handed them over, and filled in the relevant content on the form.

Flipping back and forth and looking at it several times, the security bear was both puzzled and jealous: I'm about the same age, this guy is the deputy mayor, but I can only look at the door, it's really unfair.

Putting down the pen, seeing that the other party was chise, Chu Tianqi prompted: "Comrade, I'm done." ”

The security bear said "oh oh" twice, came to his senses, and said, "Let's contact and see if I am allowed to go up." ”

Chu Tianqi shook his head and said busily: "You can help contact us." ”

"Secretary Wang was not happy in the morning, and if I contacted him again, he would be even more unhappy. Security Bear shook his head.

"Otherwise, you can help get through, and I will tell him directly, just say that I will let you fight, okay?" Chu Tianqi proposed a plan, "Big brother help." ”

was called "big brother" by the deputy mayor, and the vanity of the security bear was satisfied, and he said "okay" seemingly reluctantly and picked up the earpiece.

After dialing a few numbers, the security bear directly handed over the earpiece.

Chu Tianqi took the earpiece and listened to the ringback sound inside.

The ringback sounded several times before a cold voice came out: "What's the matter?"

Chu Tianqi immediately said, "The king's secret...... Director Wang, I am Chu Tianqi, deputy mayor of Woyuan City, I am looking for ......"

"Governor Lu is very busy. The other party interrupted directly.

"When will Governor Lu have time?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"I don't know. "It's cold in the earpiece.

"Tomorrow, is there a ......" Halfway through the words, Chu Tianqi stopped, because the other party had already hung up.

The security bear stretched out his hand: "Take it." ”

Chu Tianqi put down the earpiece, said "thank you", and turned to leave.

Looking at the departing voice, the corners of the security bear's mouth twitched, with both contempt and a hint of mockery.

"Ding Woo Bang", the bell rang suddenly.

The security bear put away his expression, looked at the caller ID, and hurriedly picked up the earpiece, smiling.

The security bear was not allowed to speak, and a voice had already come out of the earpiece: "Is that person gone?"
