As soon as Li Xiaoning heard it, he knew that Deputy Director Hu was going to play an official tone, so he spoke earnestly about the difficulties of the people in Pingshan Town, because he could see that this Deputy Director Hu was still a good official, at least he still cared about the people.

After listening to Li Xiaoning's description, Deputy Director Hu was really a little moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Over there in the Transportation Bureau, I can help talk." However, you also know that we are ** Qingshui Yamen, and it is not clear how much weight my old bones can say. ”

Li Xiaoning immediately said: "As long as you are willing to help, you will be our great benefactor in Pingshan Town, and the people of Pingshan Town will never forget your old kindness." ”

Deputy Director Hu thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost you to build this road?" ”

"This road is almost 120,000 square meters, and according to the current market price, it needs almost 40 million." Li Xiaoning said, "However, I think that the people of Pingshan Town can participate in the construction of the company, so that the labor cost can be saved, and the material cost can also be saved, almost 30 million should be enough." ”

Deputy Director Hu nodded and said, "Young man, you are very smart!" This can not only save costs, but also help the local people improve their economic income, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. But I'm afraid that the people of Pingshan Town have no experience in road construction, but it is self-defeating, this road repair is a technical job after all. ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I have already thought of this matter. Naturally, it is necessary to find a company with formal qualifications and rich experience to build roads, but we can make an agreement with them in advance, and try to use the people of Pingshan Town in the use of migrant workers. ”

Deputy Director Hu listened to Li Xiaoning's plan and nodded again and again, he also had a good impression of this young man, and he also had a deeper view of this young man. Deputy Director Hu Huan Hai has read countless people in his life, and most young people have no initiative in doing things, let alone pay attention to any ways and means. Many young people who have just graduated, even if others teach what to do, do not do it if they don't teach, or they don't know how to do it. But Li Xiaoning not only took the initiative to take responsibility, but also considered the problem thoughtfully, and what is even more rare is that he really has a party of people in his heart.

Deputy Director Hu vaguely saw the shadow of his youth from Li Xiaoning's body, judging from his many years of experience in politics, this Li Xiaoning is not a hit, and a blockbuster must be amazing.

Thinking of this, Deputy Director Hu picked up the mobile phone on the table, called up a number, and dialed it directly: "Director Fang, hello." I** Hu Weimin! You're welcome, you're welcome. That's right, the mayor of a poor town below Binhai City was with me and said that he wanted to invite you to dinner, and I gave him the phone and asked him to talk to you. ”

After speaking, he handed the phone to Li Xiaoning, Li Xiaoning took the phone, and without much effort, he made an appointment with Director Fang to have dinner together tomorrow. In fact, this is easy to understand, although it is Qingshui Yamen, but it is also in charge of the election, that Director Fang may not have anything to ask Deputy Director Hu, but he is definitely not willing to provoke him. Besides, he only promised to come out to eat, and nothing else.

Deputy Director Hu probably knew that the matter had just begun, so he said meaningfully to Li Xiaoning: "Xiao Li, that's all I can do as an old bone, and the rest is still up to you." ”

"Thank you! Thank you, Director Hu! Li Xiaoning said excitedly, and got up again to pour a full glass of wine for Deputy Director Hu.

At the end, Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to hand over the red envelope, but Deputy Director Hu did not accept it, he said: "I know that you are short of money now, and my old man is not short of these money, you should use this money at a critical time." ”

The next night, I still made an appointment at this five-star hotel, and this time Li Xiaoning was ruthless, ordered abalone and sea cucumber, and bought a bottle of Wuliangye and two bottles of Australian-made Latour. After calculating that there were still five or six thousand yuan left, he wrapped it all into the red envelope.

After sitting in the private room for a long time, Director Fang was late. It seems that this has become an unwritten rule in officialdom, and the later it comes, the more stylish it becomes.

Li Xiaoning and Yang Changqing hurriedly greeted him, and found that this Director Fang had a loose belly, and he looked very easy-going, but it was unknown what it was actually like.

Li Xiaoning said with a smile on his face: "The leader is here, it is our blessing to be able to invite you here, please take a seat." ”

Director Fang did not give in, but sat directly at the top of the list, and then asked, "Why didn't Deputy Director Hu come?" ”

Li Xiaoning hurriedly replied: "I was supposed to come, but just now Deputy Director Hu came to call, saying that he couldn't leave for a while, and asked me to accompany Director Fang for a few more drinks on his behalf." ”

Director Fang smiled and said, "I know that you cadres below are all deadly masters when you drink, so I don't dare to drink with you." Mayor Li and Deputy Director Hu look familiar. He was deliberately tricking Li Xiaoning's words to see what his relationship was with Deputy Director Hu.

Yang Changqing answered: "Deputy Director Hu turned out to be my father's old leader, and he had a good relationship with our family. ”

As soon as Li Xiaoning heard Yang Changqing say this, he knew that it was going to be bad. Sure enough, Director Fang then asked, "Who is Ling Zun?" Are you in a relationship again? ”

Yang Changqing said: "My father is the chairman and general manager of Weidu International Trade Company, and Xiaoning and I are college classmates. ”

Director Fang let out an "oh" and stopped talking. He had already figured out that Li Xiaoning and Deputy Director Hu had no direct relationship at all, so he dispelled the idea of helping in his heart and decided to simply leave in a perfunctory manner.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xiaoning hurriedly brought Wuliangye to the table, preparing to pour the wine for Director Fang first.

Director Fang shook his head again and again, and said coldly: "I have a bad stomach, and I can't drink liquor." ”

"Then we'll drink red." Li Xiaoning continued to smile on his face and took Latour again.

"I've never seen this wine, do you dare to drink it?" Director Fang frowned again, "Let's let the waiter change to XO." ”

Li Xiaoning had seen the wine list of this hotel before, Hennessy XO 3,081 bottles, to be honest, he was a little reluctant, but he also understood the reason that the child was reluctant to catch the wolf, so he nodded and said: "If the leader doesn't like it, let's change it." Waiter, on XO! ”

When the door of the private room was opened, a guest from the next room happened to come out to make a call, and inadvertently glanced into the private room, and suddenly a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

It didn't take long for Hennessy XO to bring it up, Li Xiaoning first poured it for Director Fang, and then poured a full cup himself, stood up and said to Director Fang: "Leader, today is the first time we meet, I did it, you are free." After saying that, he leaned his neck and dried it.

At the wine table, saying "I did it, you are free" was a polite word, in fact, there were few people who were toasted really casually, but this Director Fang was really casual, just picked up the wine glass and took a sip, Li Xiaoning doubted whether he had drunk the wine into his mouth. However, today I am begging others, so naturally I can't care about this.

Yang Changqing also filled his wine glasses, stood up and said to Director Fang: "Director Fang, Xiaoning is my best buddy in college, and I hope you will pay more attention to his affairs and take care of them." I did it. After saying that, he drank it all.

This time, Director Fang acted as if he hadn't heard it, and picked up a Jiwei shrimp with his chopsticks and peeled the shrimp shell. Yang Changqing stood there awkwardly, his face flushed.

Li Xiaoning reminded: "Leader, my friend toasts you." ”

Director Fang pretended to have just seen Yang Changqing, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it!" ”

Yang Changqing is also a local tyrant now, how can he ever have such a cold face when he usually drinks outside? His face was so red that he was about to drip blood, but for the sake of Li Xiaoning's business, he had to endure it, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Then I will have another cup of respect for Director Fang." I did it, you feel free. After saying that, he poured another glass of wine, tilted his neck and dried it again.

Director Fang raised the Jiwei shrimp in his hand and said pretentiously: "I'm sorry, I have something in my hand, I'll talk about it when I finish eating the shrimp." ”

Yang Changqing was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he sat back in his seat aggrievedly and sulked.

Li Xiaoning saw that Yang Changqing received such a cold reception, and his heart was also very angry, according to his previous temper, he couldn't wait to kick directly in Director Fang's nose-facing face. But thinking that the matter of building the road still had to fall on this director, he had to endure himself.

This wine was tasteless, Director Fang didn't care about Li Xiaoning and Yang Changqing at all, eating sea cucumbers and abalones by himself, occasionally taking a sip of wine, and directly treating Li Xiaoning and the two as air.

After twenty minutes, Director Fang was finally full of wine and food, Li Xiaoning was about to say something, the phone rang again, Director Fang answered the phone for ten minutes, the more he talked, the more interested he became, and he actually stood up and was about to go out.

Li Xiaoning's heart was cold, this matter is estimated to be yellow, and today's money is all in vain.

Director Fang wanted to leave, Li Xiaoning and Yang Changqing couldn't sit anymore, so they had to get up and follow closely, the elevator door opened, and it was full of people, so they could only squeeze the next one, Li Xiaoning and Yang Changqing had to stop and ask Director Fang to get on the elevator. Li Xiaoning waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, Director Fang." ”

Director Fang was still holding his mobile phone to talk on the phone, ignoring him.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a man about thirty years old walked over, with a snow-white shirt, straight trousers, shiny leather shoes, and meticulously combed his hair.

The man walked up to Li Xiaoning and said with a smile: "Xiaoning, you are really good." I've said it all, I'm sure I'm going to come over to catch up, why don't you wait for me. This is angry with my brother! ”

Seeing this man and hearing what he said, Director Fang's face turned white, and he pressed the elevator door that was slowly closing.
