Chapter Twenty-Nine: Passing the Mix

Even if he is temporarily worried about the cost of living, Zhao Changfeng still can't devote himself to studying. From time to time, he remembered that Cheng Lutong was coming, and Cheng Lutong was going to come over to ask him for news in a few days, what reason should he use to prevaricate?

Whatever you're afraid of, you'll come. On the third day after returning from donating blood, Secretary Zhang was ordered by Secretary Cheng to drive Zhao Changfeng to the city for dinner.

Zhao Changfeng couldn't refuse, and followed Secretary Zhang to see Secretary Cheng.

The place to eat is the revolving restaurant of the Triumph Hotel at the train station. Triumph Hotel was the tallest building in Zhongzhou at that time, with a total of 32 floors, and the revolving restaurant was located on the highest floor. In the early 90s, revolving restaurants were still a revolving restaurant, and it was a great feeling for people to sit at a height of more than 100 meters and overlook the scenery of Zhongzhou City from all angles while eating. As a result, revolving restaurants, although expensive, are often overcrowded.

Zhao Changfeng has admired the revolving restaurant of Triumph Hotel for a long time, but he has never had the courage to come in because he is shy in his pocket. This time I finally had the opportunity to come in, but I am afraid that I don't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and all my energy will be on how to deal with Secretary Cheng.

followed Secretary Zhang into the elevator and went straight to the thirty-second floor, and Secretary Cheng was already waiting above. It's also strange to say that Zhao Changfeng was still nervous in his heart, but the moment he stepped out of the elevator, the tension in his heart disappeared, and his mood completely calmed down.

"Brother Changfeng, welcome!" Secretary Cheng greeted him and held Zhao Changfeng's hand tightly with both hands, "I didn't go to the school to pick you up in person, Brother Changfeng won't be surprised, right?" ”

Zhao Changfeng symbolically shook Cheng Lutong's hand back, and then pulled it out: "Hehe, it should be that I'm embarrassed." Let Secretary Cheng break the bill again! ”

"Where, where, Brother Changfeng is too polite!"

Cheng Lutong secretly waved his hand at Secretary Zhang as he spoke, Secretary Zhang understood and said to Zhao Changfeng: "I'm sorry, I still have some things to do, so I can't accompany you and Secretary Cheng to eat together." ”

"Secretary Zhang, when do you have to do something? Let's eat and go. Zhao Changfeng pretended not to understand these rules, and enthusiastically kept Secretary Zhang.

"Brother Changfeng, just let him go, work matters!" Cheng Lutong hurriedly said.

"Yes, when I come back after I finish my errands, I will definitely accompany you and Secretary Cheng to have a good drink!" Secretary Zhang put down a sentence and hurriedly walked to the elevator, as if there was really something urgent waiting for him to do.

Cheng Lutong took the opportunity to pull Zhao Changfeng to the restaurant.

There are no private rooms in the revolving restaurant, but rows of booths. Fortunately, there is a row of two or three meters high bonsai trees between the booths as a barrier, if you speak quietly, it is not afraid that the neighbors will hear it.

Putting Zhao Changfeng in his seat, Cheng Lutong sat opposite Zhao Changfeng, he picked up the menu and handed it to Zhao Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, what do you want to eat?" ”

Zhao Changfeng pushed the menu back and said lightly: "Secretary Cheng can order a few dishes casually, the final exam is coming soon, I am short of time, and I can't accompany Secretary Cheng for too long." ”

"Okay, okay, let's just grab a bite and go!" Cheng Lutong nodded again and again, beckoned the waiter over, asked for a sea bass, a catty of Jiwei shrimp, two cream crabs and half a catty of scallops, and finally ordered a razor tofu soup. These things are all seafood, at that time the logistics industry was not as developed as it is now, in the inland Zhongzhou City, fresh seafood is still a very precious thing, Cheng Lu ordered these dishes seem simple but valuable.

Although seafood is very expensive, the method is very simple, nothing more than steamed and boiled. Because seafood is original, steaming and blanching without adding a little seasoning is the best cooking method to maintain the original umami of seafood.

The dishes were served quickly.

"Come, Brother Changfeng, try this crab. I love the crab roe inside, it's delicious! Cheng Lutong picked up a cream crab and handed it to Zhao Changfeng. Although he was very anxious to know the result of Zhao Changfeng going to see Governor Zhao, he still had to pretend to be casual on the surface, talking and laughing.

Zhao Changfeng naturally knew Cheng Lutong's mood, but Zhao Changfeng knew that he couldn't speak at this time, it would seem too fake, and only when the heat was about the same would he say it look real and natural, and it would be appropriate.

Opening the crab shell, Zhao Changfeng tasted the dark yellow crab paste inside, and it was really delicious.

"Well, yes, it's delicious!" Zhao Changfeng exclaimed.

Seeing that Zhao Changfeng was eating happily, Cheng Lu was very happy in his heart, and felt that he was a little more sure of his affairs.

While eating, Zhao Changfeng recalled the details of the novels depicting the struggle of officialdom that he had consulted in the library, and considered how to make up Governor Zhao's words to Cheng Lutong later. Of course, Zhao Changfeng will never say the words Governor Zhao, he will only say my uncle. As for whether Cheng Lutong will mistake Governor Zhao for his uncle, it depends on how Cheng Lutong understands it.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Changfeng felt that the heat was about the same, so he stopped and wiped his hands with a napkin.

"That's right, Secretary Cheng. Yesterday I went to see my uncle and told him about you. ”

Cheng Lutong was impatient and was about to ask, but he didn't expect Zhao Changfeng to take the initiative to mention this matter at this time. Cheng Lutong was suddenly happy and flustered, he looked at Zhao Changfeng nervously, and asked, "Brother Changfeng, Zhao, what did Governor Zhao say?" ”

Zhao Changfeng took the teacup and rinsed his mouth gently, spit it in the spittoon next to him, picked up the napkin and gently wiped the corners of his mouth twice, and then said: "My uncle scolded me so much that he was nosy. He also warned me not to mention this kind of thing to him again! ”

"Huh?" Cheng Lu was full of disappointment in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, "Brother Changfeng, really, I'm really sorry!" You were scolded by your uncle. ”

Zhao Changfeng waved his hand, looking indifferent: "It's nothing." My uncle has a straight temper and scolds me for being commonplace. ”

Cheng Lutong was stunned for a long time, and then asked unwillingly: "Brother Changfeng, didn't you say anything else to your uncle?" ”

"Having said that, I said that the relationship between Secretary Cheng and the secretary of the department is very good, and Secretary Li takes more care of me." Zhao Changfeng smiled faintly, "There is also the fact that Secretary Cheng is the only leader in the county who is willing to do practical things, and he has a good reputation in the county." If you don't believe me, you can send someone down to investigate. ”

Cheng Lutong said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes! As long as your uncle sends someone down to investigate, you will know what kind of cadre I am Lao Cheng! ”

"It's a pity that my uncle didn't listen to this, and he beat me up again." Zhao Changfeng sighed and stood up: "Okay, Secretary Cheng, I'm going back to review." Sorry for not helping you much. ”

"No, it's okay!" Cheng Lutong was very disappointed, but forced a smile and said, "Brother Changfeng, why are you in such a hurry?" The dishes haven't been touched yet! ”

Zhao Changfeng ate at most three points full, but he said with a smile: "Secretary Cheng, I've eaten well!" This exam is too busy. Next time, next time Secretary Cheng comes to Zhongzhou, I will invite Secretary Cheng to dinner! ”

Cheng Lutong couldn't stop it, so he had to accompany Zhao Changfeng to the hall. While waiting for the elevator, Cheng Lutong whispered again: "Brother Changfeng, why don't you think of a way to take me to meet your uncle and let me talk to him personally?" ”

Zhao Changfeng laughed and said, "Secretary Cheng, just spare me." I don't want to scold my uncle anymore. You don't know how fierce his mouth is when he scolds people! ”

Cheng Lutong wanted to say something, the elevator had already come up, Zhao Changfeng stepped into the elevator, turned around and waved to Cheng Lutong: "Secretary Cheng, goodbye!" ”

While the elevator door slowly closed, Cheng Lutong wilted down like a frosted eggplant.

In the elevator, Zhao Changfeng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. In any case, this level is so-so to deal with the past. Looking at Cheng Lutong's performance just now, there should be no suspicions. That's it! As long as you can continue to maintain this vague situation, when it comes to graduation assignment, the good indicators in the school will definitely be selected by Zhao Changfeng!
