As soon as Qi Tianxiang's car drove to the porch of the financial training center and stopped, Lei Xiangdong greeted him from the hall, and watched Qi Tianxiang slowly get out of the car, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand, held Qi Tianxiang's hand, and said with a smile: "How did you think of coming to my small temple to eat, and the provincial government canteen is not open at night?" ”

"The provincial government canteen is open at any time, but there is no southern cuisine that Governor Xu likes to eat." Qi Tianxiang glanced at Lei Xiangdong, and introduced Lei Xiangdong to Xu Fang, who got out of the car later, and said: "Banker, big boss, annual salary of several million, he can't eat a meal, he can eat whatever he wants, you can think of birds and beasts, caged swallows, mountain and sea delicacies, he has them here." ”

Lei Xiangdong warmly shook Xu Fang's hand and said with a smile on his face: "Governor Qi must introduce to you that we have a new chef here, a descendant of the new Sichuan cuisine, and a descendant of the southwest cuisine, with excellent skills and exquisite taste." Don't believe this, I just received a group of distinguished guests from the northwest last time, and the difference between the northwest and the southwest is still 108,000 miles! ”

"I don't care, Governor Qi invites you to eat, you can go anywhere, southwest cuisine, northwest cuisine, how can it taste better than canteen dishes, and you can save meal tickets, I don't refuse to come." In front of Lei Xiangdong, Xu Fang resumed the demeanor of a provincial leader, and said generously and wittily: "Governor Qi didn't say that your food here is good, but praised you Mr. Lei for being loyal and honest, treating people with sincerity, and making great contributions to the economy of Hehai and Hai, which is worth making friends." ”

"I believe this, every time a guest comes, he will convey Governor Qi's original words like this, and I am very moved by what he said." Lei Xiangdong smiled and said to Xu Fang naughtily, and then said to Qi Tianxiang: "Let's not seep through the door, let's go and sit inside!" The room was already arranged. ”

Lei Xiangdong said, motioned for Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang to go to the hall, and soon asked the concierge lady to come over, show them the way, and walked into the No. 1 private room.

"Didn't you stay in this room? There are not many of us, and we are all just sitting and chatting, what do you want this pomp and circumstance for? Qi Tianxiang entered the room, turned around and said to Lei Xiangdong with a little complaint: "Do you have to make some movements to look good?" Or did Xiao Zhang not make it clear to you? ”

"Secretary Zhang said very clearly, what you confessed, he can still ambush, the key is that I can't do it here, I, President Lei, have a treat, who dares to use this private room, people don't know who is coming to eat, and I don't know that it is you and the two provincial governors who are stammering, and people are stammering President Lei, this is the reason why the county officials are not as good as the current management." Lei Xiangdong responded with a smile, and then motioned for Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang to sit on the throne, and said as he let go: "That is, eat and drink, just don't make those dazzling tricks." ”

"That's pretty much it." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lei Xiangdong with a smile, pointed to Zhou Tong and the others standing behind him, and said: "Secretary General Zhou, you should know, and this Deputy Director Xiang, the Provincial Department of Agriculture, is now assisting Governor Xu. There are a few other people who will be there in a moment, and you may know them too. ”

It was only at this time that Lei Xiangdong slowly figured out Qi Tianxiang's intention to come over, but he still quietly and enthusiastically shook hands with Zhou Tonghe and Xiang Youzhi, motioned for them to sit down, and then said mockingly: "Who has such a big score, let the governor of Hehai Province treat him, and let the two governors wait, this treatment is too high!" ”

"It's not that the salary is high, but I can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, and I know who to eat here, but do you know who to invite? Isn't it cornered when you come? Qi Tianxiang glanced at Lei Xiangdong with a smile, and said confidently: "Maybe people have already arrived and are waiting nearby, I don't believe we can bet that if the guests don't enter the door within ten minutes, I will lose." ”

"I won't bet with you, it won't do me any good to win or lose, I'd better wait for the result!" Lei Xiangdong moderately joked innoccupiably with Qi Tianxiang, then turned to Xu Fang and said enthusiastically: "Governor Xu is the first time to come to my place, if you come during the day, you can let our comrades who are engaged in propaganda here take some photos, which can be regarded as the concern and guidance of the provincial leaders for the work of our bank." But it doesn't matter, we are patient and willing to wait for the opportunity. ”

Seeing that his words made Xu Fang very satisfied, Lei Xiangdong continued: "Since Governor Qi has introduced the skills of our chefs here, I have arranged for them to prepare, I dare not say that it must be the taste of your hometown, but it must be not far from your hometown." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's far away, I just said that as long as someone has a treat, I like any dish." Xu Fang smiled and looked around at Qi Tianxiang and the others, and then slowly said to Lei Xiangdong: "Actually, it doesn't matter what you eat, it matters who you eat with." The so-called delicacies are not rare when you are full, and a porridge is a porridge when you are hungry! Now I am following the local customs, and I am slowly liking the river and sea cuisine, if I really return to my hometown, I may not be used to it! ”

Xu Fang's witty and awkward tone caused a slight laugh, which was both echoing and incomprehensible, echoing in the empty room, enlivening the atmosphere.

The laughter has not completely subsided, the door of the private room was opened, and the service staff led a few people in, Qi Tianxiang coughed lightly, looked at Lei Xiangdong with a slight smile, proudly pointed to the watch on his wrist, pinched his eyes to Lei Xiangdong, and waited for the arrivals to approach, then slowly stood up, shook hands with the visitors one by one, and asked gently: "Have you come for a while, or have you just arrived?" ”

"It's been a while, Governor Qi has invited guests to dinner, and it is also the treasure land of Governor Lei, where do you dare to be late, I can't wait to come over at noon." Wang Baokun looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile, as if he was laughing at himself, and as if he was confessing, he said with a smile to Lei Xiangdong: "I don't dare to drink your Governor Lei's wine, so I brought a few bottles of good wine, which can't be considered good, but it has been cellared for more than 20 years." ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't answer Wang Baokun's words, turned to Xu Fang and introduced: "Wang Baokun, the original real estate developer, the current general manager of the property company. Ao, there are also hotel managers, investment company managers, financial strategic planners, anyway, there are a lot of names, let him give you a specific introduction! ”

Seeing Xu Fang and Wang Baokun shaking hands, he pointed to a fat man and said to Xu Fang: "The one just now is a big fat, this one can only be a second fat, Liu Fuping, the helmsman of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, is tired and fat." The capable young man standing next to him is not simple, Doctor of Turtle Finance, a master of professional research on financial proliferation and financial economy, and now Fu Junming, the person in charge of the financial center of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group. ”
