When he walked downstairs, Liu Qifeng remembered something again, so he pretended to be chatting and asked, "Xiao Li, how is your drinking?" ”

"It's okay. The average guest should be able to accompany him. Li Xiaoning said modestly. He's really being humble, because how much alcohol he drinks can be described as "okay"? Speaking of which, Li Xiaoning is usually not greedy for a cup, but when he really came to the wine table, he had never been drunk in his life, Yang Changqing, a person who was not convinced by anyone, was also convinced of Li Xiaoning's two things, one was gambling, and the other was the amount of alcohol. According to Yang Changqing's statement, "The boss must have practiced the Six-Vein Divine Sword, and no matter how much wine enters his stomach, it will turn into water. ”

"Oh. That's a good thing to say. Liu Qifeng said as he walked out. The reason why he asked such a question was because he was definitely going to drink at the dinner, and he wanted to have a general understanding of Li Xiaoning's drinking, and the other was because Mao Qiushi had just told him today that Li Xiaoning couldn't drink, and he wanted to see if what Mao Qiushi said was the truth.

Li Xiaoning was one step behind Liu Qifeng, followed closely, and called the driver Tang Hui again while walking downstairs to the municipal party committee.

When the two walked downstairs, the Audi A6 with the No. 1 license plate of the Municipal Party Committee was already waiting at the door, Li Xiaoning hurriedly took two steps forward, opened the door on the right side of the rear seat of the body for Liu Qifeng, and then put his hand on the door frame to prevent Liu Qifeng from hitting his head. After Liu Qifeng got into the car, he closed the door, walked quickly to the front, and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

The driver Tang Hui is in his thirties, tall and thin, with long arms and legs, big hands and feet, he seems to be a taciturn person, after seeing Liu Qifeng, he didn't say anything flattering, just said plainly, "Secretary Liu is good." And he never spoke again.

After Li Xiaoning sat down, he smiled at Tang Hui first, and then said, "Master Tang, hello, my name is Li Xiaoning." "He didn't dare to follow Liu Qifeng and call someone Xiao Tang, who was at least a dozen years older than him.

"Hello." Tang Hui replied politely, still not saying a word more.

"Go to the development zone!" Li Xiaoning didn't say anything more.

Because it takes more than an hour's drive to the development zone, Liu Qifeng didn't get into the car for a while, so he slowly leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes, and planned to take the opportunity to sleep.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoning hurriedly closed the car window, and then whispered to Tang Hui to turn on the heating a little, at this time it was the end of autumn, and it was very comfortable for people to open the window when they were awake, but they were prone to catch a cold when they fell asleep.

It didn't take long for Li Xiaoning and Tang Hui to feel hot all over, but looking at Liu Qifeng who was asleep, they all held back, no matter how hot it was, they couldn't let the secretary catch a cold.

In fact, Liu Qifeng didn't fall asleep at first, he knew very well what Li Xiaoning did, he didn't say it, but he was actually very satisfied with Li Xiaoning in his heart. This is not because Li Xiaoning cares about himself, but because he is serious and careful, and with these two elements in the officialdom, that is the material that can be made, and it belongs to the one that can be cultivated.

In order to relieve the heat, Li Xiaoning looked at the scenery outside the window, the autumn in Binhai City is particularly beautiful, the blue sky kisses the clear sea, and the fresh smell of the sea wafts over the city. For the sea, the sea is a familiar and affectionate friend, and she embraces this ancient and young city with a wide embrace.

Li Xiaoning had never seen the sea before coming to Binhai, but now he likes the feeling of seeing the sea. Every time I look at the sea, I will have a different mood, standing on the vast coast, he has had joy, he has also had sorrow, when the sea breeze caress his face, all the excitement and anxiety immediately with the sea Lang gradually eased, and the heart was quiet.

The sea of coastal autumn is different from other seasons, she is deep, clear, and somewhat lovely, there is no turbulent giant Lang when the summer typhoon comes, and there is no biting sea breeze blowing in winter, she has peace and soothing.

But how can Li Xiaoning's mood at this moment be peaceful and soothing?

The vibration of the mobile phone pulled Li Xiaoning back from his thoughts, and it was a text message - "I'll invite you to dinner at night?" "It turned out to be Cheng Xiaoxi who sent it.

Although they work in the same compound, the two usually don't have many opportunities to meet, and Li Xiaoning still feels very cordial to this alumnus, but today is obviously not a coincidence, so he replied: "I have something to do tonight, let's do it another day!" ”

After the text message was sent, Li Xiaoning thought about it, and was afraid that Cheng Xiaoxi would feel uncomfortable, so he sent another text message - "Why don't I invite you to have a supper when I come back tonight?" ”

Soon Cheng Xiaoxi's text message came back - "Okay, I'll wait for your call." ”

When the car was about to arrive at the development zone, Li Xiaoning gently woke up Liu Qifeng, and he couldn't let the secretary of the municipal party committee get out of the car in a state that had just woken up.

The dinner was held at the only five-star hotel in the development zone, the Kempins Hotel, and the entrance of the building was full of all kinds of green plants and hung red welcome slogans. At this moment, the front door is already full of people waiting to greet the secretary of the municipal party committee, there are many officials from the development zone, but more are the CEOs of major enterprises. As long as you are doing business, whether you are a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, if you want to make money, you must have your own political friendship, and if you have no friends in the officialdom, business will never last long.

After the car stopped, Li Xiaoning took the lead in getting out of the car, and did not say hello to those people, walked to the back, helped Liu Qifeng open the car door, put his hand on the door frame, and closed the door after Liu Qifeng came out, and followed Liu Qifeng in a low-key manner.

He knows very well that today's protagonist is Liu Qifeng, he is just a follower, and it is not his turn to greet him at all, not to mention that he doesn't know these people. Although he once held several large contact books and memorized the names of the main leaders of the municipal party committee, municipal government, and various districts and counties, he still could not match the names of those people and the specific people.

In fact, what Li Xiaoning didn't know was that the leaders of the four sets of teams in the development zone came today, and this high-level welcome ceremony made Liu Qifeng frown, the country has been calling for thrift and thrift, and repeatedly prohibiting extravagance in ushering in and sending Lang fees, isn't this a crime against the wind?

Liu Qifeng felt the need to knock it, so he rushed over to the leader and walked quickly, and the middle-aged official who was about to shake hands with him said in a deep voice: "Comrade Yuqiang, you sue me, is it that you, the secretary of the district party committee, don't speak well, or do I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, speak ineffectively?" Only then did Li Xiaoning know that this person was Zhang Yuqiang, secretary of the district party committee of the development zone.

In fact, Zhang Yuqiang is also very clear about the spirit of the central government's instructions, but this is the first time that Liu Qifeng has participated in activities in the following districts and counties since he took office. Almost all the leaders will greet them in advance, and they may not be able to greet them. But if you really don't greet them, they will feel that they are not respected and secretly make a note for you. Therefore, Zhang Yuqiang weighed again and again, and decided that instead of leaving a bad impression on Liu Qifeng, it was better to be criticized on the spot.

Now he is really being criticized, but Zhang Yuqiang can also hear it, Liu Qifeng's anger is very gentle, and it sounds like he is joking.

Zhang Yuqiang naturally knew what Liu Qifeng meant, so he hurriedly lowered his head, bowed his body and said, "It's my fault, I'll review it with the chief." ”

Liu Qifeng said: "You Comrade Yuqiang, what are you going to do?" What age are they? Are you still bowing your head and confessing your sins? Hurry up, don't let people see the jokes. ”

The joke in Liu Qifeng's words was even heavier, Zhang Yuqiang naturally heard it, and quickly straightened up and said with a smile: "What the chief criticized is that I will definitely improve in the future." The dinner is ready, please come in, Chief! ”

Liu Qifeng walked in and said, "I have read the planning report on your high-tech industrial park, and the idea is very good. What I'm concerned about is, what's going on so far? ”

Zhang Yuqiang puffed up his chest and said: "Our goal is to build a first-class high-tech park in China, currently negotiating, there are two major projects, respectively, by the two large domestic IT companies to build branches here, after the two projects are put into operation, the annual output value will be as high as more than 5 billion, three years later the annual output value will be close to 10 billion." After the construction of the entire park is completed, it can drive nearly 100 billion GDP. ”

Li Xiaoning didn't speak, and followed the leaders closely behind Liu Qifeng. Talk less, see more and do more, this is what Li Xiaoning believes his current identity should abide by. He didn't feel strange at all that Liu Qifeng would talk about business directly as soon as he came up, what position did the person say, if Liu Qifeng came in and told the leaders of the development zone that the family was short, it would make people feel indecent, and the authority of the leader would disappear. What's more, the project of high-tech industrial park is indeed worth paying attention to, this is a project that can drive 100 billion GDP, and it is a huge political achievement project for any leader, who doesn't need it?

He became interested in the mutual names between Liu Qifeng and Zhang Yuqiang. Liu Qifeng called Zhang Yuqiang "Comrade Yuqiang", which is easy to understand, as a superior, he called him so, not only without losing his identity, but also showing that he was amiable; Zhang Yuqiang does not call Liu Qifeng's official position, but "chief", which is worth playing. With feeling, Li Xiaoning remembered that this title generally appeared in the army, and the corresponding title was often "little ghost".

Thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaoning felt that on this occasion, if Zhang Yuqiang called Liu Qifeng "Secretary Liu", it would indeed seem too businesslike. Can it be inferred from this unfamiliar title that Zhang Yuqiang is showing favor to the secretary of the municipal party committee who has just moved into Binhai? It seems that the title of leader is indeed a great knowledge.
