After the presentation, the members of the working group went about their own business. The investigation of Jintang is only part of their work, and they will continue to investigate other places in the next step, so some homework must be done first.

When he was about to get off work, Qin Hai, who was sorting out the information, received a call from Yang Xinyu from the office.

"Xiao Qin? Do you have any arrangements after work? Yang Xinyu asked in a gentle tone on the phone.

“…… No. Qin Hai was a little stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out what Yang Xinyu meant.

"If you don't have any arrangements, come to my office after work, and I'll treat you to dinner." Yang Xinyu said.

"What's the matter?" Qin Hai asked strangely. Yang Xinyu was sent to Pujiang from the capital to work, and his family members are all in the capital, so he is equivalent to a bachelor in Pujiang, and he usually eats canteens with everyone. He specially invited his subordinates to dinner, at least it was the first time Qin Hai had encountered it.

"Nothing, just looking for someone to talk to." Yang Xinyu hung up the phone as he spoke.

Putting down the phone, Qin Hai was a little uneasy. The leader invites you to dinner for no reason, and the relevant departments invite people to drink tea, which seems to have the same meaning, which can be described as a banquet without a good feast. Qin Hai didn't have to think too much about it, he could guess that Yang Xinyu's invitation to dinner was related to the things he had reported to Yang Xinyu before, even if others couldn't see Qin Hai's consideration in this matter, Yang Xinyu must have seen it well.

Since Yang Xinyu chose to talk to him by eating, Qin Hai naturally made it inconvenient for others to know. He dragged on in the office until after work, and when everyone else was done, he packed up his things and came to Yang Xinyu's office.

"Director Yang, I'm here." Qin Hai stood at the door and said.

"Oh. Wait a moment, I'll finish this line. Yang Xinyu didn't raise his head, hurriedly wrote something on a document in front of him, then covered the cap of the pen, put away the document, stood up and asked with a smile: "How is it." It didn't affect your date, did it? ”

"Hehe, I don't know which kindergarten Lu Dao is in the nursery class...... Director Yang will pick people, if you ask Xiaolu to accompany you to dinner, people are estimated to be really unavailable. Qin Hai also replied with a smile.

"What, Xiaolu and Xiaoxia are really in love?" Yang Xinyu inquired rather gossipy.

Qin Haidao: "It can only be said that there was just a little spark, Xiaolu is such a fashionable person, and he would actually be the same as Lao Xia, a nerd, which is really surprising." ”

Yang Xinyu shook his head and said, "You don't understand this, just because Xiaolu is a fashionable woman." She likes a more stable and reliable young man, which is called complementary personalities. Xiao Qin, you are still young now, and you will know the Tao when you start looking for a partner. ”

"Director Yang is really in love...... Well, I really have a lot of experience, and I have to learn more from Director Yang in the future. Qin Hai decisively swallowed back the two words behind "love field". The leader jokes with you, that is to show that he is approachable, and you must not treat the leader as a buddy who can talk about everything. Joke too much with the leader. The consequences are severe.

The two of them talked about a very relaxed topic and walked out of the small building of the localization office together. Come out on the street. Yang Xinyu asked Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, I'm not familiar with Pujiang, do you know where there is a good restaurant in Lu Dao?" Well...... The grade is slightly higher. ”

"Did you have any other guests?" Qin Hai asked.

"No, just the two of us." Yang Xinyu said.

"Let's ...... Just find a place to eat, right? "Qin Haidao. In his mind, Yang Xinyu's invitation to dinner was just a formality, and the real purpose was to talk to him about work matters. Since it's just a formality, why bother looking for a high-end place?

Yang Xinyu shook his head: "Today's day is different, so I have to find a more upscale place." ”

"Okay...... However, I am not familiar with Pujiang either, and when I ran universities and scientific research institutes with Xiaolu some time ago, Xiaolu told me about a restaurant on Huaihai Road. It is said that the grade is very high, why don't we go anywhere? "Qin Haidao.

Yang Xinyu said: "Listen to you, you lead the way, I'll pay for it." ”

Qin Hai looked left and right, and just saw a taxi coming in front of him, so he stepped forward and waved his hand to stop the car. He opened the door of the back seat and said to Yang Xinyu, "Director Yang, please get in the car." ”

Yang Xinyu smiled slightly and got into the car. Qin Hai closed the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and told the driver the name of the restaurant. The driver really knew where to go, nodded, and drove on the road.

Yang Xinyu looked at Qin Hai's skillful behavior when negotiating with the driver, and asked, "What, Xiao Qin, do you often take taxis in Pujiang?" ”

Qin Hai turned his head and said with a wry smile: "How dare you, I and Xiaolu go to those colleges and universities, no matter how difficult the road is, we all take the bus, and sometimes I can't wait to buy a bicycle and ride it." Our localization office is very famous, but the management of funds is really picky, I heard that except for the reception of foreign guests, other things are not allowed to take taxis. ”

"There's nothing wrong with slamming the door." Yang Xinyu said, "The country's finances are very difficult, and the funds of our localization office are also limited. ”

Qin Hai said with a smile: "This is also the result of Director Yang's adherence to principles. You should know that many departments let their subordinate enterprises help reimburse taxi fares, and there are so many cooperative units under our localization office, just find a few units to share it, and it is enough for everyone to live a more relaxed life. ”

Yang Xinyu replied quietly: "You're right...... It's time to change my old notion. ”

When the car arrived at the door of the restaurant, Qin Hai took out the money and paid the fare. The driver habitually took out the invoice book and prepared to write an invoice for Qin Hai. Qin Hai waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, I paid it privately, and I have no place to reimburse you for the invoice." ”

"Oh, then you two please go." The driver put away the invoice book and greeted politely.

The two got out of the car and were greeted by the high-end restaurant introduced by Lu Xiaolin. The restaurant looks like it has been around for some years, it should still be built in the imperialist era, it is completely Western-style, through the large glass windows, you can see that the interior is richly decorated, and the waiters' attire is very different from those turtle-style restaurants on the street, making Qin Hai mistakenly think that he is back in Madrid.

"Director Yang, how is it here?" Qin Hai asked with a smile. Yang Xinyu said that he wanted to find a high-end place, but this place seemed to be too high-end, and he didn't know if Yang Xinyu could accept it.

Yang Xinyu looked at the furnishings of the restaurant, a trace of hesitation passed over his face, but he still said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's go here...... Good guy, I'm afraid that one meal here will eat up half a month's salary, right? ”

"Otherwise, let's change it." Qin Hai suggested that he knew that Yang Xinyu had always been frugal and very principled, since he said that he was inviting Qin Hai to dinner privately, he would definitely not use public funds. Eating half a month's salary in one meal is too luxurious for a salaried class.

"No, just here." Yang Xinyu said, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the restaurant. The waiter hurried up to meet them, and after asking for the number of people, he led the two of them to a two-person seat by the window.

"I have been to this level of restaurant several times when I have invited foreign guests, and things like ordering food are all handled by Xiaolu, and I don't understand. Otherwise, Xiao Qin, you can have some. Yang Xinyu pushed the menu handed over by the waiter in front of Qin Hai and said to him.

The high-end restaurants of that era were very ordinary in the eyes of a later generational traveler. Qin Hai opened the menu, ordered a few medium-grade dishes, and estimated that the price was about sixty or seventy yuan, and felt that it should be more suitable. He hesitated in his heart, when he settled the bill for a while, should he rush to pay the bill, after all, he was a person with a net worth of more than one million, and it was a little unbearable to let Yang Xinyu pay so much money to invite him to dinner.

"Let's have a bottle of wine bar." When the waiter finished recording the name of the dish and turned around to leave, Yang Xinyu suddenly added.

Qin Hai was really shocked this time, he nodded to the waiter, motioned to the waiter to write down the red wine, then turned his head, looked at Yang Xinyu and asked, "Director Yang, what's going on, is today really a special day?" ”

"It's not very special, is it?" Yang Xinyu smiled, "I just suddenly remembered that today is my birthday." At this time in previous years, it was my wife at home who cooked me a bowl of longevity noodles. This year, I was busy with work and couldn't go back to the capital to celebrate my birthday, so I decided to come out and celebrate by myself. ”

"So that's ......" Qin Hai was a little surprised, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you could have called all the colleagues in the office and celebrated it for you." ”

Yang Xinyu said: "No need, I always don't like to alarm everyone for my own things." By the way, there are regulations in our party that leading cadres should not have birthdays, do not give gifts, toast less, and clap less. I invite you to accompany me today, we are not a relationship between leaders and subordinates, just ordinary friends. Drinking and chatting between friends is not a violation of discipline. ”

"This rule seems to be around for years, right?" Qin Hai smiled, "How many people would do this now?" ”

Doing things like birthdays and gifts, Qin Hai hasn't encountered them much. But when it comes to toasting and clapping, Qin Hai has seen less? Just this trip to Jintang, he didn't know how many times Lu Dao was saluted, and he knew that Lu Dao was only a secretary of the working group, and he had no visible real power. If it is a person of Yang Xinyu's level, it is estimated that the toaster will be able to discharge a mile.

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Yang Xinyu smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it's all outdated regulations. However, there are some things that must be passed down by someone. We're old, Xiao Qin, and you can't lose these traditions. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Qin Hai with a clear gaze, and his eyes contained a thousand words. (To be continued......)
