Lu Qi did not attend the reception banquet that night, and she was not qualified. Moreover, Tao Tang, who flew from Yanjing, did not appear in the factory area of Red Star, and he was picked up by the city directly after getting off the plane.

Zhao Qingmin didn't know that Feng Shizhao personally sent Tao Tang, which was enough to make the employees who were concerned about this matter have many associations. But that was later, and the most important thing was the arrival of Feng Shizhao, which made the reception level suddenly increase. The main leaders of Pingquan City, who received instructions from the province, set up a banquet and arranged a residence in the city government guest house, so that all the preparations on the side of Hongxing were in vain.

At the reception banquet that night, except for Zhao Qingmin, Secretary of the Party Committee, and Guo Tao, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the rest of the team members did not attend, and Lu Qi was even less qualified.

Feng Shizhao, the leader of the headquarters, sent Tao Tang to take office, which was enough to give Tao Tang face. Since Feng Shizhao took up his current position, it is the first case that his subordinates have been sent to take office. Among them, there are not only the factors that support Tao Tang, but also the business trips that contact the local government. Especially due to the relocation of the Red Star Company caused by the planning of the new city of Pingquan City, he needs to come forward to contact the provincial and municipal levels in advance. Therefore, Feng Shizhao left Beijing on this trip, in addition to the human resources department, which is responsible for managing and assessing cadres, he also brought a senior member of the development strategy department, asset management department, and finance department of the headquarters with him. After the matter of Pingquan, Feng Shizhao also went to the provincial capital to meet with the main leaders of G Province to discuss matters related to the establishment of strategic cooperation between Brilliant Group and G Province.

Feng Shizhao strictly ordered that they were not allowed to notify the Red Star side in advance, and until the afternoon of the same day, they flew to the Beixin International Airport, did not enter the provincial capital, and were directly picked up by the motorcade of the Pingquan City Government to the Pingquan City Government Guest House. After arriving in Pingquan, Feng Shizhao ordered the secretary to call Zhao Qingmin and Guo Tao and ask them to meet at the city government guest house.

The officials at the headquarters know that Song Yue's case not only involves many problems in Red Star, but also implicates the localities, and perhaps even the Yanjing headquarters will be involved. The shaking is just the beginning. Under the current situation, the Red Star case slapped Feng Shizhao firmly, and the trouble it brought to the headquarters was immeasurable. Therefore, the unusual arrangement of Feng Shizhao's visit to Pingquan is not puzzling.

Zhou Hongyou, deputy mayor in charge of municipal planning, attended the reception. He recognized Tao Tang at a glance, but he couldn't cross the order to recognize him.

Now, a dozen people are standing in the lounge outside the restaurant, and the introduction to each other has ended, but all of them are standing. Wang Yi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Feng Shizhao, Chairman and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of Brilliant Group, do not sit down, and others will not have a reason to sit down.

"Oh, old classmate," until the official introduction ended, Zhou Hongyou came over and shook Tao Tang's hand, "If we meet outside, I don't dare to recognize each other!" ”

Tao Tang in front of him not only has an extra pair of glasses, but his hair is already half-white, and he looks six or seven years older than his actual age. However, he is tall and in good shape, which makes Zhou Hongyou, who has been blessed, envious.

"Haha, Zhou Hongyou, Mayor Zhou, you are much fatter." Tao Tang said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, look at my belly ......" Zhou Hongyou, who is the same age as Tao Tang, has already raised his belly, "Old Tao, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right?" I heard that you are back in charge of Red Star, and I can't sleep all night with joy, and now we have become buddies working together. ”

"Mr. Feng has always advocated integration into the local economy, how to realize the intention of the headquarters, and I need more guidance from my old classmates." Tao Tang understood what Zhou Hongyou meant, Pingquan City has always been worried about the territory of Red Star, but the matter is big, and it involves many aspects of the interest game, which is definitely not something that Red Star Company can do on its own. After serving in the Political Research Office of the headquarters for more than a year, Tao Tang was not ignorant of the relocation of Red Star. Therefore, on the topic of Zhou Hongyou, Tao Tang was ambiguous.

"Oh, you two are classmates?" Mayor Shangguan Hong approached and asked.

"Classmates, we are classmates in high school." Zhou Hongyou said with a smile.

"Red Star Factory produces talents." Wang Yi, secretary of the Pingquan Municipal Party Committee, also walked over, "Mr. Tao, the city is full of expectations for you, a Red Star child, to return to his hometown." ”

"Where can I talk about glory, I am like facing the abyss, walking on thin ice. Without the support of the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to move an inch. Secretary Wang, don't bother me, I will inevitably bother you and Mayor Shangguan in the future. ”

"The support is mutual, and the city also needs the strong support of Red Star and Brilliant Group." Seeing Feng Shizhao coming, Secretary Wang Yi said with a smile.

"The Red Star Factory has a glorious history...... Now encounter some problems, it doesn't matter, they will be solved, Xiao Tao is right, Red Star's development out of difficulties is absolutely inseparable from the support of the local government. Secretary Wang, Mayor Shangguan, we will be a family from now on. Feng Shizhao said with a smile.

"Leaders, please come to the restaurant to eat." Huang Jinming, secretary general of the municipal government, invited with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, let's talk while eating?" Secretary Wang Yi made an inviting gesture.

"Haha, you are the master, listen to you." Feng Shizhao said with a smile.

Zhao Qingmin and Guo Tao were the last to enter the splendid dining room, where seat tags had been placed on the huge automatic rotating table with flowers, and the two found their seats, but they could not sit down until the leaders were seated. So they stood there a little lonely. At the meeting in the reception room just now, Feng Shizhao was really cold, he just shook his hand, and didn't even ask a word about the company's current situation. Moreover, the handshake is also very particular, Zhao Qingmin and Guo Tao are both old rivers and lakes, and they are well versed in the three flavors, Feng Shizhao and the handshake between the two of them belong to the kind that makes his subordinates the most uneasy. Guo Tao thought that if it weren't for the presence of the main leaders of the party and government in Pingquan City, Feng Shizhao would even be "reluctant" to make an appearance. Not only did Feng Shizhao express his indifference, but even the members of the headquarters also kept a straight face, which made Guo Tao feel deeply aggrieved. Song Yue and Yang Wenhuan had an accident, can they blame themselves? However, it is understandable that the anger of the superiors has brought trouble to the headquarters, and besides, the trouble is not over.

Wearing a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, Guo Tao likes to ponder the seat and can always figure something out of it. The main seat is naturally Wang Yi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the guest of honor is naturally Feng Shizhao, the leader of the Brilliant Group, Mayor Shangguan Hong's seat is on Feng Shizhao's right hand, and next to Shangguan Hong is Zhang Jianguo, secretary and director of the Work Office, which is no problem. The rest is worth pondering, he doesn't pay much attention to the government personnel because they are too far away from him, but focuses on Feng Shizhao's attaché. He found that Tao Tang's position was actually arranged to Wang Yi's left hand, ahead of Zhou Hongyou. However, several powerful figures in the headquarters organs, led by Yuan Changhai, director of the development planning department, and Chang Shanqiang, director of the human resources department, whom he feared, ranked last.

Under normal circumstances, when the head of the headquarters comes to Hiraizumi, even if the city comes forward, it is a matter for the government, and the secretary of the municipal party committee will never make an appearance. But Feng Shizhao is of a very high rank, he is an alternate member of the Central Committee, and his status in the party is comparable to that of the provincial governor. Today, no one in the province has come forward, and the secretary of the Pingquan Municipal Party Committee must come forward.

Guo Tao sadly found that during the entire banquet, Feng Shizhao basically did not talk to Zhao Qingmin and him. Feng Shizhao, as the central figure of the banquet, was limited to Wang Yi, Shangguan Hong and Tao Tang, and even Zhou Hongyou rarely cared about it. Moreover, they did not talk about the Red Star and the land issue that closely connects the Red Star and the Peaceful Springs, but focused on the situation in Libya and Gaddafi. During this period, I listened to Tao Tang's speech about the deep friendship of ordinary Pakistani people towards the Chinese, which was also very interesting. When it came to the toast, he followed Zhao Qingmin to toast to the leaders, Feng Shizhao only symbolically touched his lips, and when Tao Tang toasted him just now, Feng Shizhao drank it all.

Whoever arrives can see Feng Shizhao's attitude.

Guo Tao heard Zhao Qingmin's sigh. Guo Tao fully understands the huge loss in Zhao Qingmin's heart. First, he was disappointed by his failure to compete for the top spot, and second, he was worried about Tao Tang's strength. They all know what Tao Tang did in Shengdong, and they have done a lot of publicity as an internal experience. Although that person is young (very young in terms of his position), he is an iron-fisted man, and now that he has Feng Shizhao's trust and support, Zhao Qingmin will definitely have a hard time in the future. Immediately, Guo Tao surged with contempt for Zhao Qingmin, Song Yue had an accident, it doesn't mean that the matter is over, as the secretary of the party committee, the charge of poor supervision cannot be escaped, why covet that position? Guo Tao immediately thought of himself, just like that, as the chairman of the board of supervisors and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he could not escape joint and several responsibility...... Perhaps the personnel adjustment of Red Star by the headquarters is just the beginning......

Without waiting for the two of them to move, Tao Tang rushed over to toast Zhao Qingmin and Guo Tao, "Secretary Zhao, Chairman Guo, we will be three donkeys on the same carriage in the future, how about we go together?" I'm going to need a lot of help from both of you in the future. ”

Tao Tang's words caused laughter from several directors of the headquarters. Chang Shanqiang smiled, "It's not rough, it's really up to the three of you to do a good job of Red Star." ”

"You are the backbone, you are here, I will be relaxed." Zhao Qingmin clinked glasses with Tao Tang.

"Don't dare, I hope that Mr. Tao will criticize and guide more." Guo Tao said.

"We are grasshoppers on a rope, let's help each other. Fortunately, there is a headquarters and local support...... It's all in the wine, dry! The three of them clinked glasses and drank them all.

Guo Tao noticed that Tao Tang drank a lot of wine, the cup was not small, almost three dollars, Tao Tang was basically a sip of a glass, and he had done it at least four times with Vice Mayor Zhou Hongyou, "at least an energetic guy...... Guo Tao thought to himself. He and Tao Tang are not familiar with each other, and this is the first time for such an occasion.

"We'll stay here tonight, you can go back," Towards the end of the banquet, Chang Shanqiang, who was full of wine, explained to Zhao Qingmin and Guo Tao, "The team meeting will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and a meeting at or above the department level will be held at ten o'clock, and leave is not allowed unless there is a special reason." Go back and make a detailed arrangement. The team members are all here, right? ”

"Except for Li Luo, they are all there." Zhao Qingmin replied.

Chang Shanqiang frowned, "Won't Li Luo come back?" ”

"I just arrived in Lingnan...... I didn't know ...... beforehand."

"Forget it, since you can't come back, you don't need to be notified."
