Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Question of Who Pays
Being targeted by Director Chen's angry gaze, Zhang Yaoyang's expression became more and more unnatural, and at this time, he could only pray in his heart that there would be nothing in Director Chen's hands in the future, otherwise, the other party might not know how to deal with himself, looking at this posture, Zhang Yaoyang also knew that today's feud was not so easy to resolve......
Although he knew that Zhou Fan deliberately sowed discord, Zhang Yaoyang could only laugh dryly, pretending not to know anything, to know that Director Chen was not something that Zhang Yaoyang could offend, let alone Zhou Fan, who would obey Director Chen, and it was not something that Zhang Yaoyang could afford to offend.
"Zhou Fan, you see that there was such a big misunderstanding today, I will pay for this meal, and I will make amends to you." Director Chen is obviously the person on the scene, although Zhou Fan looks at Secretary Zhao's face and doesn't care about himself, but this will be kung fu, Director Chen naturally hopes to climb up with the help of the pole, if he can have a relationship with Zhou Fan, this future road will not need to be said.
When Director Chen went back with a black face just now, Secretary Zhao asked about what happened, and Director Chen naturally told Secretary Zhao about some things that happened outside, and naturally did not forget to mention Zhou Fan's name by the way, but after Secretary Zhao heard the name Zhou Fan, his face became a little ugly, and he asked with a serious expression: "Are you sure you work in the National Development and Reform Commission, and your name is Zhou Fan?" ”
Although Director Chen didn't know why Secretary Zhao's expression changed drastically, he still nodded and said, "It's this name, this young man really doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he actually ignores me." ”
Listening to Director Chen's meaning, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Fan, but Secretary Zhao straightened up and said, "You didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right?" ”
Director Chen is a good person, this will obviously hear something, it seems that this young man named Zhou Fan is not a simple character, no wonder Secretary Zhao's face is so solemn, but the cadres of the National Development and Reform Commission, Director Chen really can't think of anyone who can make Secretary Zhao so embarrassed, even if it is a relative of several other directors of the ministry, Secretary Zhao doesn't need to be like this, after all, Director Zhang is also ranked extremely high among the deputy directors of the National Development and Reform Commission, as Director Zhang's secretary, even if it is several other leaders of the ministry, I think it will more or less give Secretary Zhao some face.
Some things may be hidden, but some things are obviously not easy to hide, Director Chen has been in the officialdom for so long, so he naturally understands this truth, and after talking about his cruel words, Secretary Zhao shook his head and sighed: "You, you, let me say what you are good about." ”
Director Chen was obviously also taken aback by Secretary Zhao's appearance, and asked cautiously tentatively, but Secretary Zhao's answer made Director Chen's forehead sweat.
The grandson of the Zhou family, Director Zhang's nephew, no wonder even Secretary Zhao can't hold this matter, even if this matter really goes to Director Zhang, thinking that Director Zhang will choose the latter between the secretary and his nephew, don't look at Director Zhang's trust in Secretary Zhao, but if you really want to compare it with the family, there is naturally a big gap in the weight of the middle.
"What then?" Director Chen is obviously panicked, his usual calm appearance has long been gone, it seems that this so-called calmness is also relative, if something really happens, no matter how calm a person is, he will inevitably panic.
"How do I know what to do?" Secretary Zhao glared at Director Chen, and Secretary Zhao obviously looked down on Director Chen's busy appearance.
Hearing Secretary Zhao say this, Director Chen was like a blow to the head, and he suddenly sobered up, although he was still a little anxious, but he was not as busy as he was just now.
After a while, Secretary Zhao said to Director Chen: "I think so, Zhou Fan usually has some friendship with me, you go out to apologize to others, I will help you say a few good words, this matter may still have room to turn around." ”
With Secretary Zhao's words, Director Chen dared to refute it, as for the so-called face problem, they are a lot of old people, Director Chen has already seen this, otherwise Director Chen would not have come to his current position, after so many years, there is nothing he can't understand.
Now that he knows Zhou Fan's identity, Director Chen naturally hopes to take this opportunity to see if it is possible to take Zhou Fan's ride.
"I appreciate Director Chen's kindness, but Mr. Zhang has already agreed to settle the bill for today's meal, so there is no need to bother Director Chen." Zhou Fan naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to make Zhang Yaoyang feel painful, you must know that since the two met, Zhang Yaoyang had intentionally and unintentionally treated Chen Feifei, Zhou Fan had already held back the fire in his heart, and now that he had seized the opportunity, Zhou Fan naturally didn't want to be destroyed by Director Chen.
Director Chen was slightly stunned, this meal payment is also particular, ordinary people want to pay this money, and they may not have this face, looking at the relationship between Zhou Fan and Zhang Yaoyang, it seems to be ......, but now Zhou Fan is pointing to let Zhang Yaoyang pay this money, Director Chen obviously can't guess the meaning of this, and then carefully look at the dishes ordered on Zhou Fan's table, as well as the bottle of red wine in 82, Director Chen obviously understands some of Zhou Fan's thoughts.
"Since that's the case, then I won't fight with Xiao Zhang, and I'll invite you to have a drink next time I have a chance." Director Chen smiled and said, since Zhou Fan wants to kill Zhang Yaoyang, Director Chen will naturally not be this good person, if he seizes the opportunity, Director Chen may still fall into the ground.
Hearing Director Chen's words, Zhang Yaoyang's face became even more ugly, although he didn't want to pay for the money, but so many people didn't say it, if Director Chen caught the opportunity because of this matter, he didn't know how to clean himself up, and looked at Zhou Fan smiling, as if he was harmless to humans and animals, but with Zhou Fan's ability to shock Director Chen, if he didn't pay for this meal, he didn't know how the other party would clean himself up, it seems that he can only break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, I just hope that after this incident, It's better for the other party not to make trouble for themselves.
Bitter wine knows itself, who made Zhang Yaoyang look down on Zhou Fan at the beginning, seeing Chen Feifei's appearance, Zhang Yaoyang didn't listen to his mouth, this can be regarded as a little lesson for Zhang Yaoyang.
"Brother Zhao? Would you like to sit down and have a drink together? Zhou Fan greeted with a smile.
"I still have some things to talk about with Lao Chen, next time, next time." Don't look at Zhou Fan beckoning himself, but Zhou Fan's body didn't move, let alone give up his position, with Secretary Zhao's decades of experience in officialdom, he naturally knew what Zhou Fan was thinking, and the other party was not ready to entertain him.
"Since Brother Zhao still has something, then I won't be reluctant, I'll invite you to dinner in two days, and there are still some things to discuss with Brother Zhao, I hope that Brother Zhao can appreciate it then." This is true, Zhou Fan does have some things to ask the other party for help, and it is not pure greetings, but today there are Chen Feifei and Sun Meimei, and Zhou Fan is not good at mentioning this.
"Okay, just talk to me when the time comes, Brother Zhou has a treat, this face must be given." Seeing Zhou Fan giving face like this, Secretary Zhao was also obedient, and he was happy to call Brother Zhou one by one.
When Director Chen and the two left, Sun Meimei opened her eyes and stared at Zhou Fan, seeing what this meant, obviously trying to see through Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan was also a little embarrassed by Sun Meimei's naked gaze, and coughed twice, hoping that Sun Meimei could be more restrained.
"Okay, you Zhou Fan, don't tell the truth in front of my old classmate, tell me honestly, what is your identity." After looking at it for a while, she couldn't see why, Sun Meimei also stopped thinking about seeing through Zhou Fan, and asked Zhou Fan directly.
"I'm really a small cadre of the National Development and Reform Commission, and I can be regarded as a section-level cadre." Zhou Fan said innocently.
"Cut." Sun Meimei said "cut" with some disdain, it is strange that this can be believed, if this is a section-level cadre, Director Chen is a division-level cadre, can he apologize to Zhou Fan with a blank eye?
"Believe it or not, I'm really a section-level cadre of the National Development and Reform Commission, but the elders in my family happen to be Director Chen's boss, so people can give me this face." Zhou Fan's words are not lies, but compared to Director Chen's level, Zhou Fan's elders are obviously a little out of reach.
"It's pretty much the same, it turned out to be a relative of a big official, let's talk about what kind of officials they are." This person has some gossip in his heart, especially when he hears this kind of thing, he is even more interested in this gossip, looking at Sun Meimei's meaning, she is obviously ready to get to the bottom of it.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Director Chen is in charge, don't think too much." Zhou Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although Sun Meimei was not ready to let Zhou Fan go, but after asking a few times, Zhou Fan either changed the topic or answered the question, and Sun Meimei did not ask why, but Sun Meimei could also see that Zhou Fan obviously didn't want to mention this matter, since this was the case, Sun Meimei had no intention of asking again, so as not to annoy Zhou Fan.
"Okay, you Chen Feifei, didn't you already know about this matter, and you didn't tell me, I have been worried in vain for so long, see if I don't clean you up." Since she couldn't ask Zhou Fan why, Sun Meimei turned the gun and got into trouble with Chen Feifei.
Although Sun Meimei has changed a lot, she only just belongs to the ranks of beauties, but Chen Feifei is a real beauty, so it naturally attracts countless guests to watch, and being watched by so many people, Sun Meimei and the two are a little embarrassed, blushing, hanging their heads, obviously really shy.
