"My cousin Xu Xiaofeng wants to bring a few people to Jinxin Township tomorrow and go to Skull Mountain for a barbecue." Huang Guoguo said lightly, but the seemingly casual words shocked Li Jiatao's heart.

This Xu Xiaofeng is not an idle person, for a long time in Yandu, Gongsun Sheng of Xiaolei County is known as "Gongsun Yiba", but this "Gongsun Yiba", relying on the brother-in-law of Governor Xie Maolin, dares to slap the table with the secretary of the municipal party committee, the mayor and other political axe officials to scold his mother, but he does not dare to provoke Xu Xiaofeng.

Xu Xiaofeng's tuba "Little Overlord" is a well-known figure in Yandu. Xu Xiaofeng's father, Xu Shen, successively served as deputy mayor of Yandu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, secretary of the municipal party committee, and now director of the Chunan Provincial People's Congress. Because Xu Shen is about to reach his age, he seems to be very low-key, and he is the most low-key among the ministerial-level senior officials in Chunan Province.

The emaciated camels are bigger than horses, not to mention that Xu Shen is still on the stage now, and Xu Shen has been an official for many years, and has promoted a large number of cadres, which has considerable influence in the officialdom of Chunan Province. Although Xu Shen is low-key, the position of director of the National People's Congress is there, even Song Qingming, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Xie Maolin, governor of the province, have to give Xu Shen a little face.

Song Qingming has always wanted to concurrently serve as the chairman of the people's congress, but the central authorities do not know what angle they are considering, so they have never let him, the secretary of the provincial party committee, concurrently serve as the chairman of the people's congress. Therefore, Song Qingming, the secretary of the provincial party committee, is a little awkward, and indirectly Governor Xie Maolin takes advantage of this gap to sing a little against Song Qingming from time to time.

Xu Xiaofeng, like his father Xu Shen, is usually low-key and makes a fortune in a muffled voice. Xu Xiaofeng didn't seem to have much interest in his career, he joined the army after graduating from high school, and after returning from the army, he first mixed in the municipal party committee office for more than half a year, and then went to the sea to do business.

After Xu Xiaofeng turned to the real estate industry, almost half of the real estate projects in Yandu City were listed under Xu Xiaofeng's name. Now, if you want to be an official on the ground in Yandu City, you really have to pay homage to Xu Xiaofeng, the "little overlord".

Li Jiatao was a little curious about Xu Xiaofeng, and the most he used to hear Xu Daoming's father and daughter mention Xu Xiaofeng, because Xu Shen and Xu Daoming are from their own family, and it is said that they are still a little related. It was with this family relationship that Xu Daoming climbed the line of Xu Shen and slowly climbed to the throne of the county magistrate of Xijiang County.

After a slight hesitation, Li Jiatao smiled and said, "Director Huang's guests are here, we will do our best to entertain them, do they have any other arrangements?" ”

Li Jiatao didn't mention Xu Xiaofeng at all, and he also pretended to be confused, so that Director Huang Guoguo owed him a favor.

"There are no special arrangements, Xiaofeng said, and the customer wants to hunt in Skull Mountain." Huang Guoguo said hesitantly, but a pair of expectant eyes were staring at Li Jiatao's face, for fear that he would not agree.

Li Jiatao also gasped, the natural forest incident has not passed, the Skull Mountain Nature Reserve has long issued a hunting ban, and now it is the hunting season, so naturally it cannot be banned.

But Huang Guoguo knew that he couldn't hunt, but he still made such a request, didn't he throw a hot potato over, didn't he let Li Jiatao take it, didn't he take it, didn't make him embarrassed?

When Huang Guoguo saw Li Jiatao's expression, he didn't mean to refuse immediately, his heart was full of hope, and he smiled apologetically: "When the customer makes such a request, Xiaofeng can't help but agree." ”

"Where is Xu Xiaofeng's promise, this is to ask me to promise to break the law." Li Jiatao said in his heart.

However, Li Jiatao was also quite hesitant. The fact that Huang Guoguo was able to make such a request to Li Jiatao also shows that Huang Guoguo trusts him.

The soldier died for his confidant, and Li Jiatao quickly made a decision to give it up, because the price was worth the risk. As soon as he established a more trusting relationship with Huang Guoguo, the head of the investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he had one more political ally. Although this kind of relationship is not the relationship between classmates carrying guns to the countryside and prostituting together, after all, they are also risking political life and death together!

Li Jiatao is not very worried, with the support of Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, there should be no problems.

Of course, Li Jiatao's greatest interest is still in Xu Xiaofeng, and he also wants to use Xu Xiaofeng's relationship to catch the line of Xu Shen, director of the Chunan Provincial People's Congress.

"Director Huang, this matter is somewhat difficult, you have to let me think of a way." Li Jiatao said it, looking very embarrassed.

Dealing with an old fox like Huang Guoguo, Li Jiatao knew that he felt that he couldn't agree too quickly, and he still had to deal with what he should handle, otherwise he would have to be passive in dealing with it in the future.

"Brother Jiatao, this business is about the old city renovation project of Yandu, and the guests include a deputy mayor and the president of the Agricultural Bank of China. However, Xiaofeng said that this was a private business, and the county did not come forward to receive it because of the need to keep the identity of the guests confidential. Huang Guoguo was anxious and showed all the hole cards in his hand.

"I see." Li Jiatao still said quietly that Li Jiatao would not openly express his stance before the matter was completed, otherwise, it was very likely that a good thing would become a bad thing.

The renovation of the old city of Yandu is the most popular project in Yandu recently, with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan, and even many real estate predators from other provinces are eyeing this piece of fat, so it is no wonder that Xu Xiaofeng did not hesitate to take risks for this.

On the other hand, as a businessman, who is not dancing on a tightrope now, not hesitating to take risks for the sake of profit? There is a fashion in today's society to take pleasure in being able to break through the red lines of morality and even the law, and people talk about it as a symbol of some kind of power if they do not fulfill the law or even trample on the law.

Huang Guoguo heard Li Jiatao say this, and it was not easy to say anything more, and when he left, his expression was slightly disappointed.

sent Director Huang Guoguo away, but Li Jiatao did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the driver Xiao Chen to send him to the county seat to see Secretary Lu Tao.

In the office of the county party committee, several section chiefs lined up to wait for Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, to meet him. Li Jiatao found a strange phenomenon, since Lu Tao returned from recuperating from his injuries in the capital, the whole person seems to have changed.

One of the most significant changes is that Lu Tao now likes to meet with the cadres below, and regards it as a very important part of his regular work.

At the same time, Lu Tao still has that kind of professor flavor, and he talks with every person he meets, very meticulous and in-depth, and even asks questions about small things, so that every cadre and the masses who are met can basically go away satisfied.

None of the people who were received by Secretary Lu Tao did not say that Secretary Lu Tao was good.

It's just that in this way, it will be difficult for other cadres and people who need to ask Secretary Lu Tao for instructions or report to them, and sometimes they can't wait for Secretary Lu Tao's turn to meet for a few days!

Li Jiatao also reminded Secretary Lu Tao about this, but Lu Tao said: "Every cadre or mass who wants to be received by the secretary will inevitably have one or more thorny contradictions, and it is easier to deal with one contradiction a day than to deal with many contradictions in one day." ”

Hearing Secretary Lu Tao say this, Li Jiatao was relieved. Everyone has their own way of working, and it is not possible to say who is good and who is bad, as long as you can stick to it and persevere, you will always achieve better results.

However, Li Jiatao does not need to queue up, this is also an honor, Li Jiatao does not feel that there is anything bad about this special treatment, after all, as Lu Tao's former full-time secretary, if he does not have this special right, then there is a problem, and it will make others talk about it.

The secretary often prayed that he had been waiting for Li Jiatao for a long time, because he knew that in Secretary Lu Tao's heart, he, the official secretary, was far less important than Li Jiatao. People are inherently self-aware, and they often pray to see this very clearly. Besides, Chang Pray that this secretary was also recommended by Li Jiatao to Secretary Lu Tao, and he has the grace of knowing him, and he is always grateful or grateful!

Chang Qiwang enthusiastically led Li Jiatao into the office of the secretary of the county party committee, made a cup of tea, and then retreated, closed the door with his hand, and stood at the door by himself, not letting others come and disturb.

Chang Qiwang knew very well in his heart that if Li Jiatao had nothing important, he would basically not take the initiative to find Secretary Lu Tao, but Secretary Lu Tao often took the initiative to call Li Jiatao. While often praying for envy, he often reminds himself that he must have a good relationship with Li Jiatao and gain the trust of Secretary Lu Tao.

Li Jiatao met Secretary Lu Tao's gaze and walked to the desk, stood still, and stood straight.

"Jiatao, what's so urgent?" Lu Tao didn't ask Li Jiatao to sit, and asked with a smile.

This is also the first time that Li Jiatao actually felt nervous when he faced Secretary Lu Tao, because he came to ask for illegal requirements this time, and he also asked Secretary Lu Tao to help.

Li Jiatao really didn't have any certainty, for fear that Secretary Lu Tao's professor's surname would break out again, scold him, and then drive him out.

However, what Li Jiatao didn't expect was that after Secretary Lu Tao listened to Li Jiatao's request, not only did he not get angry, but laughed: "People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads." The demands are unreasonable, but things still have to be done. ”

"Thank you for the trust, I have caused trouble to you, secretary." Li Jiatao was grateful and said immediately.

Lu Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "I know Xu Xiaofeng, although he is greedy for money, he is still good at it, and he has a bit of a spectrum in doing things. The closeness between you and Xu Xiaofeng will also be beneficial to your future development. However, for the person Huang Guoguo, you still have to take precautions, you can't offend, and you can't get too close, you have to grasp the proportion. ”

Lu Tao said it so thoroughly, also because Li Jiatao is not an outsider. Lu Tao has absolute trust in Li Jiatao, first, Lu Tao is Li Jiatao's mentor, this relationship is an eternal fact, and no one can erase it. It is said that he is a teacher and a father for life, and there is such a conclusion in the officialdom, and they all attach great importance to this relationship. Second, Li Jiatao saved Lu Tao in danger several times, and he really did his best to Lu Tao, a teacher, and sometimes he could even save him desperately, which also made Lu Tao very moved.
