The car passed through the back door of the compound and drove directly to the VIP building of the Lotus Hotel.

The split-storey building where Lin Guodong lives is backed by a mountain and a lake, which is a standard unit type of a VIP building, with a 05 logo on the outer wall.

Ye Qingping got out of the car and rang the doorbell in front of the building.

Lin Guodong's secretary, Xu Wenjun, soon appeared at the door.

Ye Qingping gave a brief introduction.

Xu Wenjun shook hands with Yi Haitao and Chu Tianshu, and let them into the room.

The layout of the building is spacious, much higher than the space of the split-level structure of ordinary commercial houses, and the decoration is very simple but very exquisite. The building stone is granite, and the wood is oak.

Downstairs is the living room, dining room, toilet and two guest rooms.

Xu Wenjun took the three of them to the staircase on the second floor, pointed to it, and quietly turned sideways, retreated to the side, and secretly gave Chu Tianshu a look.

Chu Tianshu knew how to advance and retreat, and he knew that he was not qualified to meet a senior leader like Lin Guodong, so even if he didn't have Xu Wenjun's eyes, he would not follow Yi Haitao and Ye Qingping recklessly.

Chu Tianshu stopped, handed the rice paper in his hand to Yi Haitao, and then followed Xu Wenjun to the living room downstairs.

Xu Wenjun asked Chu Tianshu to sit down on the sofa, rushed to pour him a cup of tea, and when he handed the teacup, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Minister Lin is in a good mood today." ”

Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that this was Xu Wenjun showing favor to himself.

Don't underestimate Xu Wenjun's seemingly frivolous sentence just now, this sentence is sometimes difficult to buy.

Who doesn't want to talk about themselves when meeting with senior leaders, but success often depends on the mood of the leader.

If the leader is happy, he will be able to listen to what you want to talk about, and perhaps with a wave of his hand, the matter you talk about will be satisfactorily resolved, and at least there will be a more satisfactory answer. If the leader is in a bad mood, you still don't know whether to live or die and ask the leader to help you worry about things, and there is a chance that you will be disappointed.

Chu Tianshu got up and took the teacup, smiled, and whispered, "Xie Lu, Secretary Xu." ”

Xu Wenjun said: "Xiao Chu, it's not a formal occasion, don't make it seem like you're in the agency, you still call me Xiao Xu or Wenjun." ”

Chu Tianshu said: "That's not appropriate. How many years older are you, at least I should call Brother Xu. ”

Xu Wenjun didn't say anything more, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

In the eyes of all officials, the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee is an extremely important role.

According to the regulations, the organization ministers of the provincial party committee are ranked lower than the deputy secretaries and executive vice governors of the standing committee of the provincial party committee, and some are even ranked behind the secretaries of the municipal party committees or the secretaries general of the municipal party committees in the provincial capital cities, but their importance is not inferior to them.

Because he controls the power of life and death of officials at all levels in the province, a single mouth may determine the advance and retreat of an official's life.

Speaking of which, Xu Wenjun is a few years older than Chu Tianshu, and his rank is also a deputy department.

However, the importance of an official does not depend entirely on the rank of his position, and even more so of a secretary.

The secretary of the organization minister of the provincial party committee follows the minister all day long, although he cannot directly decide the progress of an official, but he is the bridge and link between the officials and the minister, and the provincial management cadres are willing to tie up and hope to become his friends. Therefore, Xu Wenjun took the initiative to show favor to himself, of course, to make Chu Tianshu feel surprised and grateful.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Chu Tianshu felt that Xu Wenjun did not show the arrogance of rejecting people thousands of miles away that is common among the people around some leaders, but seemed to be close to his peers.

Chu Tianshu tentatively proposed to exchange communication methods with Xu Wenjun, and he also readily took out a business card, which had no unit or position, only a landline number and a mobile phone number.

This kind of business card is usually only passed between friends.

When they met for the first time, they received such courtesy, Chu Tianshu suddenly felt flattered, and he was still wondering: In this way, Yi Haitao really has a more important position in Lin Guodong's mind, and Xu Wenjun loves the house and Wu, so he will be so polite to himself.

After chatting for a while, Xu Wenjun said, "Xiao Chu, let's go up too." ”

"This ...... Is it appropriate? Chu Tianshu stood up and said hesitantly: "Brother Xu, the leaders are talking, I am a nameless junior......"

Xu Wenjun smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, Minister Lin has explained, let's meet together." ”

Oh! Chu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still admired Xu Wenjun's cleverness, sat with him for a while, asked the leaders to finish what they had to say, and then took him up, and grasped the proportions just right.

Upstairs, Xu Wenjun gently pushed open the door of the study, and Chu Tianshu crept in.

There are two bookshelves against the wall in the room, and in the middle is a large table covered with felt and rice paper, and a middle-aged man is leaning over to write.

Ye Qingping used his hands together on the side, holding the paper and holding the ink, Yi Haitao was watching intently, and nodded from time to time, showing great admiration.

Needless to say, this middle-aged man is Lin Guodong, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

Lin Guodong was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt and gray high-grade wool casual pants, his expression was very focused, and he didn't seem to care whether Chu Tianshu came in at all.

It was the first time that he had such a close contact with such a high-level leader, Chu Tianshu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, he didn't dare to disturb, he just stood a little farther away, held his breath, and looked at Lin Guodong with reverence.

As a deputy provincial cadre, Lin Guodong can be said to be very young, only forty-eight years old this year, his already slightly chubby square face is flushed, his hair is thick, combed back neatly, his eyes are bright, revealing a self-confidence and domineering spirit from the heart.

After reading the people, Chu Tianshu stretched his neck and looked at the rice paper.

Lin Guodong writes about the grass, the pen is strong, quite imposing, in the layout and chapter, there is an eclectic boldness, but in the penmanship, it has both the face and the skills of Wei Bei, which is very distinctive.

Although Chu Tianshu didn't know calligraphy, Long Ruochen still recommended to him the works of Huaisu and other crazy cursive calligraphy masters in the Longmen Inn, and also talked to him about some key points in calligraphy appreciation, so Chu Tianshu could see some of the way.

After writing, Lin Guodong read softly: "If you don't ask for it, you will be at ease, and if you don't do it in vain, you will be safe." Then he straightened up, looked up and saw Chu Tianshu, and asked, "Hey, you are Comrade Haitao's secretary, called ...... That Chu ......? ”

Chu Tianshu said loudly: "Report to Minister Lin, my name is Chu Tianshu." ”

"Yes, yes, I can't say it when it comes to my mouth." Lin Guodong put down his pen and said with a smile: "Master Mao* has a poem called Jimu Chu Tianshu, is your name such a origin?" ”

Of course this is not the case, but the big leader has already said it, and it will be very boring to defend it again, Chu Tianshu nodded and said yes.

In fact, when Chu Tianshu pretended to be Wei Shijie and Xiang Wanqing on a blind date, Xiang Wanqing heard his name and asked the same, at that time, Chu Tianshu's answer was: My surname is Chu, and the generation is exactly the Tianzi generation, when the grandfather took the name, he picked a Shu character, Chu Tianshu came from this, and the grandfather's intentions were not exquisite, just looking forward to the grandson being comfortable every day.

Lin Guodong smiled, suddenly nodded Chu Tianshu with his hand, and said, "Xiao Chu, come over and see how my handwriting is?" ”

Chu Tian was stunned.

Yi Haitao and Ye Qingping both glanced at him and asked him to hurry over.

Chu Tianshu walked over, pretended to tilt his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at it very seriously from beginning to end, but he wanted to blindly praise Lin Guodong for listening too much, and it was not interesting to say it, but he didn't dare to say what he just said, for fear that it would be even more pretentious if he said it wrong, he hesitated again and again, and did not make a sound.

Yi Haitao and Ye Qingping were secretly anxious for him, thinking to themselves, Chu Tianshu is usually quite clever, why can't he even say good things at this time? Could it be that when you see a big leader, you are less courageous?

However, Lin Guodong was not in a hurry, with his hands behind his back, looking at him quietly.

In the end, Yi Haitao couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "How is it, Xiao Chu, you are talking." ”

Lin Guodong said with a smile: "Ha Luha, Haitao, don't worry, let him think about it." ”

Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Report to Minister Lin, Xiao Chu doesn't know calligraphy, so he doesn't dare to comment on it." ”

"Hey, you kid." Yi Haitao was really anxious, pointed at Chu Tianshu, and smiled helplessly.

Lin Guodong smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Tianshu, and said, "Okay! Sure enough, I have the courage to tell the truth. ”

Then, he restrained his smile and said slowly: "Since I arrived in Southeast Province, almost everyone has praised my writing power through the back of the paper, and the momentum is extraordinary. You are the only one who is outspoken and does not dare to comment. Obviously, my word is average, just getting started, just because I'm a leader, so you don't dare to say it. ”

Chu Tianshu panicked, and added stupidly: "Minister Lin, I didn't mean that, your calligraphy level is much higher than mine." ”

Lin Guodong laughed again.

Yi Haitao's expression stiffened, and he laughed dryly.

Ye Qingping and Xu Wenjun covered their mouths and didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Chu Tianshu crossed his hands and barely squeezed out an embarrassing smile.

"Minister Lin, I'll ......" Chu Tianshu looked around and said uneasily.

"It's okay, boy." Lin Guodong interrupted him with a smile, pointed to the calligraphy works on the table, and said: "My university teacher back then was a real master of calligraphy, and I studied with him for a few years, but I learned a little bit. However, don't underestimate this point, put it aside to the current era of forgetting to write words, and you can still get it. ”

Chu Tianshu didn't know where the courage came from, so he took the opportunity to say, "Minister Lin, you can give me a piece of writing." ”

Even Yi Haitao felt that Chu Tianshu's request was too abrupt, and he was still saying "I don't dare to comment arbitrarily" just now, and he came to ask for words again in the blink of an eye, can Lin Guodong be happy?

You must know that many city leaders usually come to ask for words, but they are rejected by Lin Guodong.
