was transferred to work in Qihe, Xue Fei only told the people close to him, and the others didn't say anything. The identity of the official is already relatively sensitive, and he works in his hometown, so Xue Fei doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

However, Qihe is so big, and Xue Fei is from Qihe, so the probability of seeing acquaintances is too high. When he went to work in the morning, as soon as he entered the government compound, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Xue Fei!"

Xue Fei looked back and found that it was Liu Xiaoqing.

Liu Xiaoqing is Xue Fei's high school classmate, if he doesn't see him, Xue Fei really can't remember him, because he usually doesn't have much contact. When I saw him, I remembered that he was also a civil servant and worked in the General Section of the Policy Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee.

"It's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person." Liu Xiaoqing was overjoyed.

"Xiaoqing." Xue Fei had a smile on his face, but he was "chuckled" in his heart.

Liu Xiaoqing and Wu Ziqiang have a very good relationship, when they were in school, Liu Xiaoqing took Wu Ziqiang as the first step, and after graduation, he became a civil servant and added the word "more". Liu Xiaoqing also has political ambitions, but because he has no money and no background, he has always wanted to climb up through Wu Ziqiang's relationship.

Wu Ziqiang is a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, although he is an old classmate, but he is not willing to help Liu Xiaoqing sincerely, so he has been writing blank checks to Liu Xiaoqing, and he has never cashed it so far.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time, what are you doing here?" Liu Xiaoqing asked.

Without waiting for Xue Fei to answer, Pan Zhaofeng called Xue Fei's side and greeted, "Good morning, Secretary General Xue." ”

Xue Fei responded with a smile: "Good morning." ”

"Secretary-General? Are you ......" Liu Xiaoqing looked at Xue Fei in surprise.

"I have just been transferred to the city as the secretary general of the city government." Even if Pan Zhaofeng didn't call out Xue Fei's position, Xue Fei would tell Liu Xiaoqing the truth, this kind of thing is impossible to hide, working in a compound, sooner or later, he will know.

Liu Xiaoqing has long known about Xue Fei as a civil servant, and when he was at the class reunion, he also heard some words about Xue Fei from other people's mouths, saying that Xue Fei's promotion was very fast, and he had already reached the main department, and this was last year's event. You must know that Xue Fei is two years younger than him, he was a civil servant earlier than Xue Fei, and he is still a section member, but Xue Fei is already in the middle of it. Liu Xiaoqing felt incredible, he always heard that he was ascending on a rocket, presumably Xue Fei belonged to this situation.

Could it be that there is someone above Xue Fei? It seems that you will have to walk around with Xue Fei in the future.

"Oops, congratulations, so you're now my leader." Liu Xiaoqing said this, but his mood was actually very complicated.

Liu Xiaoqing knew himself very well, he knew that with his background and ability, it was almost impossible to climb to a high position, so he set a goal for himself, that is, to be at the level. It's not very high, but it's not low, and he's been working hard for it. As an old classmate, they are all civil servants, and seeing that Xue Fei has now achieved the goal that he is ready to fight for for decades, it is really difficult for him to be like a water and not make waves.

"What kind of leader, don't say that, when we are all classmates, this will never change." Xue Fei was afraid of hearing Liu Xiaoqing say such things, and he didn't want to change his relationship with some people because of his position.

"Anyway, it's a great thing that you're back to work at Seven Rivers, and we'll be able to see each other more often in the future. Well, I'll treat you to dinner at noon. Don't say it, it's still evening, the noon time is short, and you can't eat or drink well, so it's decided. I'll tell you a good place when I get back. Liu Xiaoqing took out his mobile phone and exchanged mobile phone numbers with Xue Fei before leaving.

During the lunch break, Liu Xiaoqing went home for dinner, and happened to pass by the Shangri-La Hotel, so he went in and asked if there was a private room, and he planned to invite Xue Fei to eat here in the evening.

Wu Ziqiang had a dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel at noon, he entered the hotel with his friends, and saw Liu Xiaoqing standing at the front desk at a glance, feeling a little strange.

"Xiaoqing, why are you here?" Wu Ziqiang asked his friend to go in first, and he came to Wu Ziqiang's side.

"Ziqiang, I'm here to book a private room, you come over for dinner?" Liu Xiaoqing was also going to call Wu Ziqiang for a while, but he didn't expect to meet him at this time, what a coincidence.

"yes, with a few friends. What are you booking a private room for? ”

"Invite someone to dinner."

"Who's invited?" If it were someone else, Wu Ziqiang would definitely not ask in detail, Liu Xiaoqing knew too well, not a large number of people, Liu Xiaoqing could go to a five-star hotel to invite people to dinner, what kind of character does this have to be, he is really curious.

Liu Xiaoqing smiled secretly and said, "You know this person, but you must not guess who it is." ”

I know, I can't guess who it is, who can this be? Wu Ziqiang thought and thought, guessed and guessed, but he couldn't guess.

Liu Xiaoqing saw that Wu Ziqiang couldn't guess, so he revealed the mystery and told him about Xue Fei.

Wu Ziqiang was extremely shocked when he heard this, and then he was extremely angry. Xue Fei actually became the secretary general of the municipal government, but he was at the department level, why? His father is the mayor, and he is only at the official level in the Public Security Bureau now, and Xue Fei is really annoying.

"What you said is true?" Wu Ziqiang asked with a tense face.

"Of course it's true, he said it himself. You say that this Xue Fei is amazing, he skipped a grade when he was in school, and was admitted to Huaqing University. Now that I'm working, I'm still so good, I really don't admire it. Liu Xiaoqing said with emotion.

"What do you admire, how do you know that he must have become the secretary general by his own ability?" Wu Ziqiang said unhappily.

"You mean there's someone on top of Xue Fei?" Liu Xiaoqing didn't know if Wu Ziqiang knew anything about Xue Fei's background.

"They all grew up together, who doesn't know whom, who can he be? You remember, not all people who are big officials are necessarily capable, and not all people who are promoted quickly must have backers behind them, and some people can climb to a high position by opportunism, flattery, and even bribery and gifts. Wu Ziqiang doesn't think that there are people above Xue Fei, let alone Xue Fei's ability, to be the secretary general of the listing city, maybe by dishonorable means, or just by shit luck.

"Xue Fei shouldn't be that kind of person. By the way, do you have time in the evening, if you have time, come over to dinner, I didn't call anyone else, just the three of us. ”

Liu Xiaoqing thought about it carefully and felt that what Wu Ziqiang said had some truth, but he didn't dare to completely agree. He could hear it, Wu Ziqiang had something to say, and thought to himself why he said this about Xue Fei, he and Xue Fei had no enmity. After thinking about it, it's not right, they have a grudge, because of Qu Yuanyuan.

Thinking of Qu Yuanyuan, Liu Xiaoqing regretted it a little, if Xue Fei and Wu Ziqiang met, what if they were unhappy at the dinner table? At that time, it is very likely that his meal will be in vain, and in the end, Xue Fei will not only not accept his affection, but may also blame him.

Although Liu Xiaoqing had already signaled that he should not call Wu Ziqiang, it was a pity that what he said was water that was spilled, and it was difficult to collect it when it was covered with water, and it was too late to regret it.

"Okay, I'll have time in the evening, I'll come over then." Last time in Bingcheng, Wu Ziqiang hadn't vented his pleasure, but when he returned to Qihe, he wanted to have a good time.

Liu Xiaoqing couldn't say that he wouldn't let Wu Ziqiang come, so he raised his heart, and said that there would be no accident at night, right?

At work in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoqing sat in the office and was worried, he didn't know whether to talk to Xue Fei first, and if so, how to say it. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xiaoqing thought that he should still tell Xue Fei, after all, Xue Fei's identity is different now, and no matter how old a classmate is, he must also take his identity into account.

Thinking that it was not easy to open his mouth on the phone, Liu Xiaoqing sent a message to Xue Fei, telling Xue Fei to have dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel in the evening, and Wu Ziqiang would also go.

Xue Fei had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he was not surprised at all when he received Liu Xiaoqing's message, what should come will always come, and he can't hide if he wants to.

After getting off work in the evening, Xue Fei called home and told him not to go back to eat, and then went to the Shangri-La Hotel.

When I arrived at the hotel, Liu Xiaoqing had already arrived first, and Wu Ziqiang had not yet arrived. Liu Xiaoqing was worried that Xue Fei would have an opinion of Wu Ziqiang in fact, so he lied that he was not called in the fog, but happened to meet Wu Ziqiang when he was booking a private room, and it was Wu Ziqiang himself who said that he would come over at night. What can Xue Fei say, he only said that it was good for old classmates to get together together, otherwise they were usually busy and didn't have much time.

Liu Xiaoqing invited Xue Fei to dinner tonight, but it turned out to be waiting for Wu Ziqiang, Liu Xiaoqing made two phone calls, Wu Ziqiang said that he was soon, but he didn't see him for a long time.

Xue Fei didn't say anything about this, and the expression on his face didn't change at all. But the more Xue Fei is like this, the more uneasy Liu Xiaoqing is in his heart, blaming himself for being too thoughtful in doing things, inviting Xue Fei to dinner, he shouldn't think about calling Wu Ziqiang to accompany him at all, it's good now, he has to wait for Wu Ziqiang to come before he can eat, what is this called.

After waiting for more than an hour, Wu Ziqiang was late.

"Xiaoqing, I have an opinion about you." Wu Ziqiang looked at Liu Xiaoqing with a serious face and said.

"What's wrong with me?" Wu Ziqiang came to such a sentence when he entered the house, and he was stunned when Liu Xiaoqing said.

"Aren't I just a little late, you look at you, even called me twice, I know that you are mainly inviting Xue Fei to dinner tonight, not inviting me, you won't be like this, right? Isn't Xue Fei the secretary general, not the head of the organization, he can't help you get promoted. Wu Ziqiang didn't look at Xue Fei, but these words were undoubtedly for Xue Fei.

In fact, Wu Ziqiang came out of the unit after work, and he had nothing to do, the reason why he was late was completely deliberate, he just didn't want to give Xue Fei this face, and he didn't want Xue Fei to stop eating this meal.

Xue Fei smiled when he heard Wu Ziqiang's words, and did not show any sense of anger, because this was what he expected.

Liu Xiaoqing was dissatisfied with Wu Ziqiang, it doesn't matter if you are late, you don't greet Xue Fei first when you enter the door, but you say that I am not here, and also pointed to Sang and scolded Huai and said Xue Fei, I know that you are angry with Xue Fei because of Qu Yuanyuan's matter, but no matter what, you are an old classmate for more than ten years, and you are not happy in your heart, you have to get by on the face, right? How can anyone talk like this to their face, it's too much.

Dissatisfied with Wu Ziqiang in his heart, Liu Xiaoqing didn't dare to say it, and his face didn't show any displeasure.

"I have nothing to do with Xue Fei when I called you, it's because I'm hungry and anxious to eat, and I called you when I saw that you couldn't come, hurry up and order food." After Wu Ziqiang finished speaking with a smile, he got up and opened the door and called the waiter in.

Liu Xiaoqing handed the menu to Xue Fei and asked Xue Fei to order, but Xue Fei didn't order, pushed the menu in front of Wu Ziqiang, and said with a smile: "Ziqiang is more good at ordering, let's let him come, there are no outsiders." ”

Xue Fei was afraid that Wu Ziqiang didn't like to eat what he ordered, and then Wu Ziqiang would order a bunch of them like he had in Bingcheng before, and then Liu Xiaoqing would be unlucky.

Wu Ziqiang was not polite, he flipped through the menu and ordered, and ordered six in one breath, Liu Xiaoqing frowned secretly, but it was hard to say anything. Wu Ziqiang finished ordering, Liu Xiaoqing asked Xue Fei to order, Xue Fei said that it was enough to eat, no need to order it again, it was a waste if he couldn't finish eating. Liu Xiaoqing felt a lot more relaxed after listening to Xue Fei's words, Xue Fei was still understanding, if Xue Fei ordered it again, he was really afraid that the cash in his pocket would not be enough to settle the bill.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't order any more, he only ordered a bottle of liquor and told the waiter to try to be as fast as possible.

After the waiter went out, Wu Ziqiang looked at Xue Fei and said in a weird manner: "I heard that you became the secretary general of the municipal government, you can do it at such a young age and reach the department level, share your promotion secrets with me and Xiaoqing?" ”

Liu Xiaoqing's ears pricked up as soon as he heard this, he was most interested in this matter.

"Hehe, what's the secret, it's nothing more than hard work, as long as you do the job well, everything will fall into place." Xue Fei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"To be promoted, you usually need to have political achievements, I don't know what achievements you have made in your work in the past few years?" Wu Ziqiang continued to attack.

"I don't dare to say the results, but I have completed all the work that should have been done by me, and there have been basically no mistakes."

"So you can be promoted? It's too easy, isn't it? Wu Ziqiang glanced at Liu Xiaoqing, he obviously didn't believe Xue Fei's words: "Xue Fei, there are no outsiders here, you tell the truth, how did you achieve the goal of promotion through opportunism?" ”

Liu Xiaoqing had a headache when he heard Wu Ziqiang's words, he glanced at Wu Ziqiang, and signaled Wu Ziqiang not to talk like this, but Wu Ziqiang turned a blind eye.

"You are also a civil servant, and you should know that when a superior appoints and dismisses a cadre, he must go through a careful and careful investigation, and it is obviously impossible for opportunistic tactics to be recognized by the organization. For example, if you are now at the level of a regular department, I believe that you must have been promoted after an organizational investigation and thought that you were capable and performed well at work, and you could be promoted from the deputy department to the main department. Instead of relying on opportunistic shortcuts, promotions obtained by relationships, you say, right? Xue Fei knew too well what Wu Ziqiang wanted to do, and the more Wu Ziqiang rubbed the fire, the more calm he became, but it didn't prevent him from seizing the opportunity to fight back.

Wu Ziqiang saw that no matter what he said, Xue Fei was not angry, and he took the opportunity to sarcastically ridicule his Zhengke for coming from the wrong way, so he was very angry.

Liu Xiaoqing was very happy in his heart, he felt that Wu Ziqiang deserved to be choked by Xue Fei, who let Wu Ziqiang deliberately find fault.

After the wine and food were served, the three of them chatted while eating.

If you want to say that Liu Xiaoqing really has no brains, just call Wu Ziqiang over, which pot is not opened, what is not good to talk about, I have to ask Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan how they get along now, Wu Ziqiang hated Xue Fei because of Qu Yuanyuan's affairs, and asked Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan about it in front of him, his mood can be imagined.

Seeing that Wu Ziqiang's face became a little ugly, Liu Xiaoqing also realized that he had said the wrong thing, he knew that his meal tonight was completely in vain, Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and he was not a person inside and out.

Wu Ziqiang glared at Liu Xiaoqing, and when he heard Xue Fei say that he and Qu Yuanyuan got along well, he took over the conversation and said, "I heard that Yuanyuan is no longer working in the province and Taiwan, and she has gone to Jingtian, is it true?" ”

Although Qu Yuanyuan and Xue Fei are getting along, Wu Ziqiang has been paying attention to Qu Yuanyuan's dynamics. He had already discovered that Qu Yuanyuan had not appeared in the provincial station, and he had never known what the reason was. Recently, he heard from an old classmate who had a good relationship with Qu Yuanyuan that Qu Yuanyuan went to Jingtian to be the host, he didn't know the truth of this matter, and wanted to verify it with Xue Fei.

"It's true, it's been a while since I've been there." Xue Fei replied.

"Long-distance relationships are unreliable, there are too many variables. Especially in a place like Jingtian, handsome guys are everywhere, Yuanyuan is so beautiful and so good, aren't you afraid of a long time, will Yuanyuan empathize and don't fall in love? Wu Ziqiang asked with a sneer.

"I'm not really worried about that. First of all, I have this confidence in myself, and secondly, I also believe that Yuanyuan is not that kind of person. Of course, nothing is absolute, if there is a day, I will accept it calmly, because I know that feelings cannot be forced, wishful thinking has no meaning, in the end it will only be boring, so my feelings must be natural. Xue Fei once again took the opportunity to beat Wu Ziqiang.

Wu Ziqiang is very angry, he came here tonight to talk about Xue Fei, to make Xue Fei angry, how did he end up with Xue Fei and hurt him, it is simply unreasonable.

Wu Ziqiang picked up the wine glass, and after draining the wine in the glass, he looked at Xue Fei coldly and asked, "Is the new job easy to do?" ”

"Still adapting." Xue Fei picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Wu Ziqiang.

"You are from Qihe, you must know Qihe very well, but you may not know about the officialdom of Qihe. The officialdom of Seven Rivers is not easy to mix. Wu Ziqiang said meaningfully.

Xue Fei smiled faintly: "I've heard something, but I still want to thank you for the reminder." ”
