After chatting with Cai Zhiming for a while, Chen Qingdong was about to shift the topic to Chu Mingyuan, but Cai Zhiming suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Secretary Chen, why did Minister Chu ask to see you today?

This question made Chen Qingdong a little difficult to answer. [Full text reading.]

Because Cai Zhiming obviously didn't know about the province's plan to train young cadres, Chen Qingdong couldn't tell the truth, otherwise, if Cai Zhiming leaked this matter, it would be troublesome!

Although this list has been determined and reported to the city, if Xu Minglei and others know about their leakage, it will definitely leave them with a bad impression of talking nonsense, and no leader will like a person who talks nonsense!

But if you don't give Cai Zhiming an answer, it will definitely not work, which will make Cai Zhiming feel that he doesn't trust him!

Chen Qingdong will often deal with Cai Zhiming in the future, so of course he can't offend him!

After some quick thinking, Chen Qingdong decided to make up a reason, anyway, Cai Zhiming would not go to anyone to check, so he said: "There is no special reason, it's just that Minister Chu heard that I am the youngest secretary of the township party committee in our city, so he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to come to Liulin to meet me." ”

"I see. Cai Zhiming didn't have any doubts, and then said in that sour tone, "Secretary Chen, it seems that you are now in the eyes of the city leaders, and it is estimated that it will not be long before you have another chance to be promoted!

Chen Qingdong smiled and said, "Accept your auspicious words! If there really is such a day, I will definitely not forget you, Section Chief Cai! However, this matter is just a daydream! I am already sincerely afraid of being the secretary of Chen Qiao now, how dare I think of good things?"

Cai Zhiming shook his head lightly and said: "This is not necessarily! Secretary Chen, you have your own ability, and the leaders are optimistic about you, I think you still have a great chance of going up!"

Chen Qingdong smiled again, no longer took up the topic, but asked: "Section Chief Cai, do you know anything about Minister Chu?"

"What do you mean, and what hobbies does Minister Chu have?"

"Hehe, it's not this, I'm talking about Minister Chu's resume. ”

Cai Zhiming said with a smile: "So that's what you said! However, I don't know much about Minister Chu. ”

Hearing Cai Zhiming say this, Chen Qingdong felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he still said: "After I got in touch with Minister Chu today, I think he is quite powerful! At a young age, he is already the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, which is really enviable! Section Chief Cai, anyway, we are idle now, so you can talk to Minister Chu for me? It's okay, you can say as much as you know, just talk casually." ”

Cai Zhiming is a person who likes to show off his well-informed, so he did not refuse, and said: "Minister Chu's hometown is a rural area in Jiyang, and I heard that he has been a well-known prodigy there since he was a child, and his grades have always been very good. Later, he was admitted to Huaishi University and studied Chinese. After graduation, he was assigned to work in the Provincial Personnel Department, and later transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. In the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he has been the deputy director of the Fifth Division of Cadres, and is specially responsible for inspecting the provincial management leading groups and leading cadres of some provincial government departments, institutions of higher learning, and some public institutions. Later, about the autumn of the previous year, he parachuted into the Organization Department of our Municipal Party Committee and served as the deputy director of the Organization Department.

Cai Zhiming went on to say: "Airborne cadres like Minister Chu, especially those who have come down from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, not only are there people above, but their relations are also very tough! Therefore, Minister Chu's future is absolutely bright! If nothing else, in a few years, Minister Chu will definitely have to be promoted one step higher, either by going up the ladder and becoming the head of the Organization Department, or by going one step further, it is possible to become the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee!" Minister Chu is only 37 this year, and it is estimated that he will not need 45 to have a good chance of becoming the mayor of the ruling party, or even the secretary of the municipal party committee!"

Chen Qingdong responded: "Yes, Section Chief Cai, hearing you say this, Minister Chu's future is really bright!"

Cai Zhiming said with envy: "Originally, I thought that it was already very powerful for us to become a regular department level at such a young age, but if we want to climb up from the main department level, it will be very difficult!

"yes. Chen Qingdong also sighed.

In Chen Qingdong's heart, he was actually looking for the information he needed from the information Cai Zhiming told him, that is, where Chu Mingyuan and Chen Zhongning might have a connection!

Cai Zhiming said that Chu Mingyuan University went to Huai Normal University, and he still studied Chinese, and Chen Qingdong knew that Chen Zhongning also studied Chinese at Huai Normal University, and stayed in school to work for many years after graduation, judging from Chu Mingyuan's age, he and Chen Zhongning are likely to intersect when he was in college!

Then, judging from the comprehensive information, it is very likely that the Professor Chen that Chu Mingyuan said is Chen Zhongning! Judging from what Chu Mingyuan said, it is very likely that his relationship with Chen Zhongning is not bad!

After confirming this, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, he had already made up his mind, he must use Chen Zhongning to open up Chu Mingyuan's powerful network, and add another heavy chip for his future!

Chen Qingdong still wanted to know more about Chu Mingyuan, so he asked again: "Section Chief Cai, how is Minister Chu's family situation?"

"Family situation?"

"Hehe, I'm very curious about what kind of wife a person like Minister Chu who is in a high position and looks so elegant will marry. ”

"That's what you say. Cai Zhiming smiled playfully, then leaned over to Chen Qingdong, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what Minister Chu's wife is doing, but I heard that his wife is the daughter of a big official, and Minister Chu can have today's achievements, in fact, thanks to the help of his father-in-law." ”

"Really?"

"I've also heard rumors, who knows if it's true or not! But I think it's very likely, if it weren't for the help of someone above, Minister Chu, a child who came out of the countryside, would have been able to walk so fast?

Chen Qingdong felt that what Cai Zhiming said was reasonable, these days, in the officialdom, if there is no noble person to support, relying on his own efforts, it is really too difficult! But whether this noble person of Minister Chu is his father-in-law or not, this is not possible!

However, Chen Qingdong knew that it was better to say less about this kind of rumor about the leader, so he was silent and did not speak.

Cai Zhiming also felt that he was quick to talk for a while, and he said too much, so he hurriedly advised: "Secretary Chen, these things are all let's talk casually here, if you can't be accurate, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Qingdong immediately smiled: "Don't worry about this, I'm definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense!"

Cai Zhiming also thinks that Chen Qingdong is a very strict person, so he will relax his vigilance in front of him, and accidentally talk too much!

But, despite this, after such a small episode, neither of them had any interest in continuing the topic just now.

It just so happened that Xu Minglei called Cai Zhiming at this time and asked him to arrange for the kitchen to boil a few bowls of rice soup and make a list of four side dishes.

After hanging up the phone, Cai Zhiming said to Chen Qingdong with some pride: "How about it? I said that Secretary Xu will have to ask for snacks in a while, right? Secretary Chen, I will let the kitchen prepare a little more, and you will eat a little later." After drinking, make a bowl of rice soup to drink, which is good for the stomach. ”

Chen Qingdong didn't have the appetite to drink millet soup, and he didn't want to stay here longer, so he said: "Forget it, Section Chief Cai, I won't eat it." To be honest, I really don't like to drink rice soup much after drinking, so I like to make a bowl of mutton soup to drink!

Cai Zhiming said: "Secretary Chen, what are you leaving! Isn't it just a bowl of mutton soup? We can get it here! I'll just let the kitchen make you a bowl!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Actually, I like to drink the mutton soup of Lao Li's family in the south of Wenhua Street, a bowl of hot mutton soup, a spoonful of chili oil, and a mutton patty, the taste is beautiful!"

Cai Zhiming said: "Secretary Chen, it turns out that you don't like to drink mutton soup, but you like to drink the mutton soup of Lao Li's family! But then again, Lao Li's mutton soup is really good, and I like to drink it too! Usually in the morning, when I have time, I will also go there to drink a bowl!"

Chen Qingdong invited: "Section Chief Cai, otherwise, I'll wait here for you to arrange a meal for Secretary Xu and them, and then the two of us will go to Lao Li's house to get two bowls of mutton soup, and then make a plate of fried lamb offal, a plate of lamb head meat, and eat a beautiful meal, how about it?"

Cai Zhiming smiled bitterly and said, "Hearing you say this, I'm about to drool! To be honest, I really want to go with you, but Secretary Chen, I'm not as free as you! After I prepared a meal for Secretary Xu and them, maybe they need something else after a while, I can't leave, I have to wait here!"

Chen Qingdong said regretfully: "Okay, serving the leader is the first thing! Section Chief Cai, then let's make an appointment another day?"

"Okay, let's go another day, find a time, let's not go to the restaurant, let's go drink the mutton soup of Lao Li's family!" Cai Zhiming also said happily.

"Okay, then it's decided!Section Chief Cai, then I'll leave today!" Chen Qingdong stood up as he spoke.

"Let's go, I'll go downstairs and go to the kitchen to make arrangements. Cai Zhiming said, "I will also send you!"
