Secretary Lu is very clear: in essence, Qin Ge and Li Runji are the same type of people, both are honest and diligent, honest and selfless, both have strong work ability, and both have the belief in serving the people and the ambition to do a great cause. [No pop-ups] It's just that because Li Runji has been appointed as the deputy secretary of the provincial discipline and has not had much contact with Governor Qin Ge, they don't know much about each other, and Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and others slandered Qin Ge, which caused Qin Ge to misunderstand Li Runji, which led to their discord with each other today.

Therefore, Secretary Lu believes that as long as he pulls a line and builds a bridge for them, plus the origin of having dinner with Director Wu Dongsheng, Qin Ge and Li Runji will definitely release their previous suspicions and eliminate misunderstandings and estrangements. Even, these two upright men with similar personalities may also have a feeling of sympathy for each other, and it is possible to become a pair of best friends in the future!

Thinking of this, Secretary Lu was not in a hurry to hang up Li Runji's phone, but asked, "Runji, do you have any entertainment at night?" Director Wu of the General Secretary's Office will come to Tianjiang tonight, and Comrade Qin Ge and I will entertain him for dinner. If you don't have anything particularly important to do, come and eat with us at the Hibiscus Garden! Director Wu is the person next to the general secretary, and it will be good for you to make friends with him in the future. ”

When Li Runji heard that Secretary Lu invited him to have dinner with Director Wu, the secretary of the general secretary, he was so excited that his tone changed a little: "Okay! Secretary Lu, I'm fine at night, I must come over to toast you and Director Wu with a few glasses of wine. ”

Secretary Lu said "um", and then instructed him: "Director Wu came here this time to prepare to go back to his hometown to congratulate his mother on her 80th birthday. Therefore, Governor Qin and I both prepared a red envelope for his birthday. If you're going, prepare a congratulatory gift! Don't give too much money, no more than $4,000. ”

Secretary Lu knew that Li Runji had an upright personality, and if he hadn't reminded him, he would definitely not have thought of bringing gift money, and it would be more embarrassing at that time, so he deliberately woke him up at the end.

Lee Yun-gi hurriedly said, "Okay, good."

Secretary Lu has always wanted to find a better backer for Li Runji in the central government, but he didn't have a good opportunity to take him to Beijing to visit those bigwigs. Now, he suddenly thought: If Li Yunji can take advantage of today's opportunity to establish a good personal relationship with Director Wu Dongsheng, it will be the best and most effective backer!

So, Secretary Lu asked Li Runji again: "Runji, do you have any important things to deal with in the afternoon?" Can you spare an hour or two to come out? ”

Li Yunji hurriedly said: "I don't have any particularly important arrangements this afternoon, just some daily work. Do you have any work assignments for me to do? ”

"It's not a job either. I just suddenly remembered that after I came to Tianjiang to take up my post, Comrade Wu Dongsheng was a guest in Tianjiang for the first time, and we should be polite and solemn, and arrange for a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to pick up the plane at the airport. Therefore, I would like to ask you to drive to the airport immediately and pick up Comrade Wu Dongsheng now. ”

When Li Runji heard Secretary Lu's arrangement, he was even more grateful and excited: You must know that Secretary Lu arranged for himself to pick up Wu Dongsheng at the airport, which was to provide himself with a great opportunity to contact Wu Dongsheng alone and quickly gain Wu Dongsheng's favor! From the airport to the provincial party committee, it takes more than 40 minutes by car. In these more than 40 minutes, I can talk about many topics with Director Wu, and I can also enhance and harmonize my personal feelings. For myself, a newly promoted member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, who has no backing or foundation in the central government, this is an excellent opportunity to quickly find support at the top!

Therefore, he said in a heartfelt tone: "Secretary Lu, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I know that all your arrangements today are for my sake and to create conditions and opportunities for me to progress in the future, and I will keep this in mind. I'll leave for the airport, and I'll call you after I receive Director Wu. ”

Secretary Lu responded with a good hello, thought about it, and said, "Runji, there is one more thing I want to remind you." When you meet Comrade Qin Ge in Furong Garden, you have to take the initiative, you have to greet him first, and your attitude should be sincere. When drinking, you can find more opportunities to chat with Comrade Qin Ge and take the initiative to toast him a few more glasses of wine. Comrade Qin Ge, like you, is a person of personality. Moreover, I spoke to him once in the morning, and he doesn't really have a bad impression of you. On the one hand, the contradictions and estrangement between you and him were caused by Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and others fanning the flames and slandering you from Comrade Qin Ge, and on the other hand, it was also because the two of you did not have much contact with each other and did not know each other much, which caused the current situation of discord. I believe that as long as both of you open your hearts, communicate more, and understand more tonight, the contradictions and estrangements between you will disappear. If the contradiction between you and Comrade Qin Ge is eliminated, I, the secretary of the provincial party committee, will be much easier, and our provincial party committee team will truly become a united team, a progressive team, and a cohesive and combative team. With such a team to lead the people of the province, what can't be done? What's not going to be done well? Therefore, I hope that you will fully understand the importance of doing a good job of unity with Comrade Qin Ge, and take advantage of today's opportunity to eliminate the contradictions and estrangements between you. ”

Li Runji hurriedly said: "Secretary Lu, in fact, I have had this idea for a long time. I know Governor Qin very well, he is indeed a good leader, his character and morality are very good, although his temper is a little stubborn and a little impatient, but his work ability and work achievements are well-known. Even if you don't tell me, I will take the initiative to have a good relationship with Governor Qin. So, you can rest assured! ”

At about half past five, Secretary Lu learned from Li Runji's phone call that he and Wu Dongsheng had taken a few high-speed rides and entered the provincial road, and it was estimated that they would arrive at Furong Garden in about 20 minutes, so they made an appointment with Qin Ge to rush to Building 1 of Furong Garden, and waited for Wu Dongsheng's arrival at the door of the restaurant.

Building No. 1 of Furong Garden is the place where the main leaders of the Provincial Party Committee receive the heads of the Central Committee and important VIPs, and is generally not open to the public. Those who can come to Building 1 to eat must at least be at the level of vice governor or above. It is also for this reason that Building No. 1 is located in the innermost part of the reception office of the provincial party committee, with only three floors, and it is a separate building, not connected to other buildings in the reception office.

Secretary Lu and Qin Ge stood at the gate of Building No. 1 for a long time, when they saw a black Audi sedan driving over and stopped at the door of Building No. 1. After the car stopped, Li Runji got out of the car first, turned around and bowed, and smiled and made a gesture of please to Wu Dongsheng, who was still sitting in the car.
