The two people Guo Xiaozhou knew were Xiu Yao, deputy director of the Xihai Provincial Public Security Department, and Song Guangming, director of the Department of Culture. There was also a man who looked strange but also somewhat familiar, about forty-five years old, with a healthy red glow on his face, a detached bearing, and an atmospheric and unassuming expression.

Song Guangming sighed, "Mayor Guo...... "He wanted to ask you if you went to the wrong room, but after all, he is a person who has cultivated into the essence of the system, and in an instant, he thought that since this town mayor is qualified to enter the governor's office, and he also interjected him and Correction Yao's team, then it is not uncommon for him to know Cheng Gang."

Before Guo Xiaozhou could greet the two department-level leaders he had just met, Cheng Guodong behind him stammered and shouted, "...... the director of the department."

Correction Yao's face was slightly stunned, and he blurted out: "You are Cheng Guodong of the Guanghan City Bureau?" ”

Cheng Guodong stood up slightly excitedly, "Yes, I'm Cheng Guodong." ”

He had met him three times before and after, twice in meetings, and once led a team to the Guanghan Municipal Bureau for investigation, and he only talked for less than ten words before and after. However, in public security work, memory is a specialty.

"Xiao Cheng, are you ......" Correction Yao asked with a puzzled expression. Most of the people who can enter their small circle are department-level leaders, and they also have a common characteristic, that is, they are young and highly educated, when Cheng Gang was still the director of the Water Conservancy Department, he had a very good relationship with young leaders at the department level such as Correction Yao and Song Guangming, and the three of them and Qiao Zhidong of the Provincial Department of Finance were all classmates of the Provincial Party School, and since then they have laid the foundation for exchanges.

Facing the senior officials of the system, Cheng Guodong looked at Guo Xiaozhou with some reluctance, "I came with Guo Xiaozhou ......"

Guo Xiaozhou picked up his words and said calmly: "I should become a ......"

Before he finished his words, a person walked in outside the door, "Mayor Guo is my invited guest!" I'm sorry, I'm late, and I'll automatically punish you for drinking. ”

The person who walked in outside the door was Cheng Gang. His secretary Cao Fang followed behind, greeting the leaders sitting one by one, and when Cao Fang said to the man Guo Xiaozhou didn't know: "Hello Mr. Gong", Guo Xiaozhou suddenly realized why he had an impression of Mr. Gong. He is a giant in the business world of the West Sea! Guo Xiaozhou often sees him in newspapers, magazines and even TV media. Especially after he was invited to participate in CCTV's "Entrepreneurship Star" judges, his influence is not only reflected in Xihai, but even gradually radiates to the whole country.

Gong Hailiang, chairman of the board of directors of the venture group, a frequent visitor to the Forbes rich list, has the famous Dingchuang Road and Bridge Group, especially famous for highway, municipal and bridge construction, the company was established for 15 years, and has undertaken the construction of several large bridges and airports at home and abroad, and is known as the godfather of roads and bridges in the industry.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaozhou suddenly understood that Cheng Gang had just introduced him to a friend, and it turned out that he had come to stand for Chen Wu Bridge. He was slightly puzzled in his heart, is it too early to introduce it now? But what is in the mind of a leader who has reached the level of Cheng Gang, whether it is another hidden mystery, he can't guess it for the time being.

After Cheng Gang's introduction, everyone's eyes when they looked at Guo Xiaozhou were completely different.

Governor Ding summoned him, and Cheng Gang invited him to participate in a meeting in the small circle. This treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

It was Cheng Guodong who was also "shocked" by Guo Xiaozhou's treatment. Obviously, his level is higher than Guo Xiaozhou, but Cheng Dù can't keep up with it.

After Cao Fang helped finish ordering, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave. As a secretary, he has to wait before and after, and he can't let Cheng Gang go to the counter to pay the bill.

Several department-level leaders were not surprised and did not retain them. Guo Xiaozhou got up and said politely: "Cao go slowly!" ”

Sometimes a simple kind word may bring a person's favor and friendship. Guo Xiaozhou has not deliberately flattered several hall chiefs, because the distance between the two sides is too far, at the level of the hall and bureau, friendship is an adjective, and reciprocity is a verb, even if he is respectful to kneel and kowtow, people can forget him immediately after going out.

But the distance between him and Cao Fang is relatively not very far, and their identity, age and current situation can still talk to each other and help.

That's the reality.

The wine and food are on the table, and the wine is a low-alcohol health wine, and the quantity is not much, just a bottle. The dishes do not have the so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas, most of them are seasonal vegetables and mushrooms, and Guo Xiaozhou estimated that the most expensive is probably a bowl of lion's mane mushroom soup. It can also be seen that the current senior leaders pay more attention to health care.

On the contrary, those lower-level cadres at the section level and department level pay attention to pomp and circumstance everywhere, the wine must be expensive, the food must be rare, and they must be poured when they drink.

Cheng Gang fulfilled his promise, first punished himself for a drink, and then opened the topic, talking about some topics of fitness, entertainment and leisure, not involving work at all.

Cheng Guodong ate very restrainedly, he wanted to toast several leaders, but there was only one bottle of wine on the table, and six small wine glasses of four or five yuan were poured at most two rounds of wine, he had been struggling, what if he toasted halfway and the wine ran out.

Guo Xiaozhou was not directly present, and the distance between the two sides was too large, so he was able to let go and get along with several department-level leaders calmly and naturally.

Cheng Gang suddenly said to Guo Xiaozhou, "This boss Gong, you should know it." ”

Guo Xiaozhou hurriedly said: "I often watch Mr. Gong's programs and benefit a lot. ”

Gong Hailiang is like a mirror in his heart, since Cheng Gang invited a township mayor to a high-end circle, he will never be untargeted. He has always been curious about Guo Xiaozhou's identity. Because he could see that Cheng Gang did not attach ordinary importance to Guo Xiaozhou.

Therefore, his attitude towards Guo Xiaozhou is peaceful and enthusiastic, "Mayor Guo Liao Zan!" I'll tell you the truth, all of my show reviews are done by the team behind the scenes, and I'll be an endorser. ”

Everyone laughed.

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly had a good impression of him. It's no wonder that people can become business giants, with high EQ and IQ. A few minutes of meeting can give a good impression. In today's world of vigilance and caution, this is easier said than done.

Song Guangming sighed: "Mr. Gong, I heard that you have undertaken another highway in Shannan Province. You're so good at making money, what are the secrets to share. ”

Gong Hailiang said with a smile, "It's hard and difficult to make one million with 100,000, it's faster to earn 10 million with 1 million, more than 10 million is a number, and I don't have any concept of money now." If there is a secret, it is that information is gathered quickly, and the ability to react and act on information is even faster. ”

Song Guangming retorted: "Big words, you don't want to make money, why are you flying around all day now, why are you working so hard?" ”

Gong Hailiang smiled lightly, "I want to talk about my sense of social responsibility and mission, and Director Song will definitely say that I am talking big." But then again, now I'm a machine that is constantly running, and there are thousands of parts on the machine that need my instructions to operate, and if I stop, or need to be repaired, all the parts will lose power. ”

Guo Xiaozhou thought it was true, when he was on Guanghan TV, he also met a "famous" businessman, but this person and Gong Hailiang are completely different worlds. At the same age, vulgarity and arrogance are one thing, and the main language of this man is to show his wealth, to show his ability, of course, mainly to chase women, he said that he booked a presidential suite at the Sheraton Hotel on the Great Wall and the Hong Kong Peninsula for a year each, and paid for the whole year in a lump sum. How many famous cars, how many villas have been purchased around the world, and a villa in Guanlan that he gave to a famous movie star and so on.

He also said that a certain international actress can be on call. A certain celebrity is his horse boy, a certain leader is his eldest brother, and he calls a certain central leader an uncle.

Of course, this person's wealth and status must not be compared with Gong Hailiang. It will never be possible to reach the height of Gong. Because goals and pursuits are different.

After the dinner, Cheng Gang did not arrange a follow-up program. Obviously, people in this circle cherish time more, and probably don't have this habit.

Whether it is Correction Yao, Song Guangming, and Gong Hailiang, they all give Cheng Gang more face, and take the initiative to shake hands with Guo Xiaozhou to say goodbye after the party, especially Gong Hailiang, he also invited Guo Xiaozhou to go to a golf club to play together next week.

Guo Xiaozhou can't even hold the rod, and now the situation is unclear, so he can only politely decline!

After leaving the hotel, everyone got into their own cars.

Cheng Guodong went to the parking lot to drive. Cheng Gang whispered to Guo Xiaozhou at this time: "Gong Hailiang is very steady, and his road and bridge company has a first-class reputation. You can ask him for more advice, it will be beneficial. ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said bluntly: "Brother Cheng! I would like to start by thanking you for the introduction. To tell you the truth, I have a good impression of Mr. Gong. But the future project, I said that it really doesn't count......"

Cheng Gang smiled, "Xiaozhou, you underestimate me as the assistant to the governor, I introduced him in the hope that you will learn from Gong Hailiang in the project declaration, he has the name of the godfather in the Daoqiao world, your project report is perfect, but without the participation of professionals, it is a big loophole." Like you, I hope that this project and the Economic Corridor concept will become a mainstream focus for the next decade. ”

"You can't take it lightly just because you have the support of Governor Ding and Cheng Lao!" Cheng Gang patted Guo Xiaozhou on the shoulder, "I'm going to see your sister-in-law now and talk to her about Yunfei." Go first. After saying that, he got into Cao Fang's car.

Guo Xiaozhou waved goodbye with some shame, Cheng Guodong's car drove slowly, and he opened the door and got on the co-pilot.

Cheng Guodong was in a rare happy mood, "Xiaozhou, your kid's connections are not simple, and you have all attended the banquet of department-level leaders?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou snorted, "I'm a dog meat, and I can't sit at the table!" To be honest, I haven't eaten enough, what about you, Brother Cheng? ”

"I'm not full! What a terrible meal! Cheng Guodong deeply agrees.

"Find a roadside stall to make up for it?"

"It's okay to eat, I'm driving, and I can't accompany you with alcohol."

Guo Xiaozhou said, "The main thing is to have a full stomach, not to drink." ”

The two drove forward and saw a roadside stall at an intersection, so they stopped and ordered a few small stir-fries, a can of local chicken soup, and ate two large bowls of rice each.

While eating, Guo Xiaozhou called the driver Zhao Dakui and explained his location.

After the meal, Zhao Dakui arrived. He shook hands with Cheng Guodong and said goodbye.

It was only when he got to Poussin that he took out his phone. Just now when he and Cheng Guodong were eating, Zhu Ying called him three times. When he was rushing to Cheng Gang's dinner, he adjusted his phone to vibrate mode.

The most important thing is that he was embarrassed to answer Zhu Ying's call in front of Cheng Guodong. First, the relationship between himself and Cheng Guodong is getting better and better, and second, he doesn't want Cheng Guodong to have ideas or be embarrassed.

Open your phone's information bar.

Zhu Ying sent three text messages in a row:

"Xiaozhou, sister is lucky to have a younger brother like you!"

"Sister's table today is not a failure......

"Sister, I have no place to be ashamed in front of you today...... Yaay Ashamed! No place to embarrass ......"

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and replied: "It's not a failure, it's very abnormal." ”

Zhu Ying quickly replied with a "vomiting blood" expression, and then sent another one: "I'll go to the old house in Guanghan tomorrow to clean up something, are you coming?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou remembered the "love affair" that he had not completed with Zhu Ying in this old house, and his heart suddenly beat hot. But when he thought of this kind of thing for men and women, it was always easy to start, the process was uncontrollable, and he couldn't stop it, his heart suddenly calmed down. Although he is unmarried, he will never consider marrying Zhu Ying, so is there a difference between what he does and Huang Jiajin?

Ponder in silence.

Zhu Ying sent two question marks in a row.

A determined look gradually appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to type out a line of words, "Sister Ying!" I have important arrangements in town tomorrow! ”
