That is, on this morning, Secretary Lu arrived at his office at half past seven, and said to Xu Lizhong, who came in with his bag: "Xiao Xu, I forgot one thing just now. In my room, there are a few bags of dog's head red dates from the northwest, as well as a few bags of wolfberries. You go back now, bring two packets of red dates and two packets of wolfberries, put them in my office, and I'll be useful later." ”

Xu Lizhong knew that these dog-headed dates and wolfberries were brought from the northwest when the secretary of a county party committee in Secretary Lu's hometown came to visit him, and they were all carefully selected and high-quality products, which were difficult to buy in the market.

Secretary Lu knows a little about health, and is particularly fond of the two green supplements of red dates and wolfberries, and often uses wolfberries, red dates, and chrysanthemums to make tea and drink, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the stomach and spleen, and refreshing the mind and qi. Sometimes, Secretary Lu works overtime in the office at night to read documents, and will put more than a dozen dog-headed dates in a saucer, put them on the desk, and when he is tired of reading documents, he will pinch a date from the plate and throw it into his mouth, chew it deliciously, it is said to be very refreshing......

After Xu Lizhong brought the red dates and wolfberries, Secretary Lu instructed him to put them in a cabinet, then thought about it and said to Xu Lizhong: "You wait and tell Comrade Qiu Wangxi, let him arrange a quiet box for me in Furong Garden at night, prepare a few distinctive dishes, and I will entertain a guest." ”

Qiu Wangxi is the second-ranked deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and he is also the candidate for the position of acting secretary-general Wang Hai in the future. And Furong Garden is the first guest house of the Provincial Party Committee. If Secretary Lu wants to entertain any guests, he usually orders food and rooms in Furong Garden.

Xu Lizhong agreed, turned around and went out.

After Secretary Lu waited for Xu Lizhong to close the door, he took out his mobile phone from the briefcase that Xu Lizhong put on the low cabinet next to his desk and dialed a number.

"Director Wu, you are on the plane at half past three this afternoon! In that case, it will be about half past five to arrive at Tianjiang. I'll arrange for my driver to pick you up at the airport, and I'll have a few drinks with you tonight! The last time I saw you, when I went to see the general secretary, I met in a hurry in the waiting room and talked a few words, and after careful calculation, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Yesterday I heard you call and said that you want to make a short stay in Tianjiang and meet me, I am really happy! So, tonight I'm going to put all the work out of the way and go with you. Hahaha! ”

The Director Wu referred to by Secretary Lu on the phone is the current director of the General Secretary's Office, called Wu Dongsheng. Secretary Lu has a special relationship with the general secretary, so when he was in the ministry, he had a very good relationship with Wu Dongsheng. This time, Wu Dongsheng took two days off and returned to the neighboring province of Xijiang Province to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. And his hometown is a small county town on the border of Tianjiang Province and Xijiang Province, if he takes a plane to Tianjiang Provincial City, and then takes a car from here to his hometown, it is much closer than he flies directly to Xijiang Provincial City, and then rushes home from there.

Therefore, last night he specially called Secretary Lu, saying that he was going to fly to Tianjiang Province first, meet Secretary Lu, and then early the next morning, ask Secretary Lu to arrange a car for him to send him back to his hometown.

Director Wu's arrangement is actually to show his affection for Secretary Lu - you must know that with Director Wu's identity and status, if he informs the leaders of Xijiang Province that he wants to go home to celebrate his mother's birthday, I don't know how many people in the provincial party committee will be busy, and I don't know how many high-ranking officials are looking forward to going to his hometown to celebrate his mother's birthday. However, he told Secretary Lu: In Xijiang Province, he didn't tell anyone. The reason why he flew to the provincial capital of Tianjiang first was because he didn't want to trouble the leaders of his hometown province and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, only Secretary Lu knows about Director Wu's coming to Tianjiang, and even Qin Ge doesn't know about it......

Director Wu heard Secretary Lu say on the phone that he was going to put off all his affairs tonight and made a special trip to accompany him, and said very movingly: "Secretary Lu, I am a junior." When you were working in Beijing, you took care of me and recommended me in many ways. The fact that I am now in this position is also the result of your strong recommendation to the chief. So, I stopped by to visit you, and I should have been. Don't be too polite, and don't get too troublesome, or I'll be upset. ”

Director Wu's words are also true: he is not yet fifty years old, and compared with Secretary Lu, he can indeed be regarded as a junior. Moreover, when he worked in the General Office of the Central Committee, he was serving Secretary Lu's father-in-law, Gu Yanghao, and he could be regarded as Lu Zhiyao's junior brother. Therefore, Secretary Lu did play a certain role in the fact that he became the secretary of the No. 1 chief......

Secretary Lu was very emotional when he heard Director Wu on the phone, and knew that he was sincere in saying this, so he was more relieved, and said: "Director Wu, I will call you now, first, to tell you about my arrangements, and second, I may bring someone to have a meal with you in the evening, I hope you don't feel abrupt and don't mind at that time." ”

Director Wu knew that Secretary Lu was not a person who didn't know how to measure, so he didn't ask him what people he would bring, and said very happily: "It's okay, I am relieved that you do things, and I am also relieved of the people you have befriended." I'm here to thank you in advance, hahaha! ”

After talking to Director Wu on the phone, Secretary Lu sat down happily behind the desk, first opened the computer and browsed the international and domestic news, then took some documents that he had reviewed last night, carefully checked the instructions he signed, and picked up the pen to change a few sentences on one or two instructions.

In the process, he glanced up at the red confidential phone in front of him from time to time, waiting for the person he expected to call. And this person he expected to call was Governor Qin Ge.

According to Secretary Lu's estimate, after a series of abnormal things happened in the past few days, especially after the tax evasion case of Xinleng Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company, when he received the report from the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, he would definitely cause huge waves in his heart and be extremely shocked. He should have guessed: Zhou Jiqing must have had an accident, otherwise he would not have released Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua and others; And Wang Hai and Xie Hongda must have been involved in the tax evasion case of Zhenxing Company, because Qin Ge knew the relationship between Li Botang and Wang Hai and Xie Hongda. If Li Botang had an accident and someone from the provincial party committee was involved, it would be Wang Hai and Xie Hongda......

Under such circumstances, Qin Ge would definitely feel an unprecedented pressure, and he would definitely feel a little apprehension and panic. Therefore, after receiving the report from the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, he will definitely come to talk to himself, the secretary of the provincial party committee, with the purpose of exploring the details, feeling the direction of the wind, and understanding the causes and consequences of this matter and the future development trend.
