Although he was ecstatic in his heart, Li Weidong did not lose his ability to think, and asked Wang Hai another question: "Lao Wang, you and I are both aware of some unwritten rules for the selection and appointment of senior leading cadres, such as the promotion of a vice minister of a certain ministry to the governor of a certain province. For example, in my case, if I want to go to Tianjiang Province to serve as governor, according to the rules, I must first be promoted to the secretary of the party group at the ministerial level, and concurrently serve as the executive deputy minister, and I must work in the position of party secretary for at least one year before I can be put down to become the governor. It's a convention, and I can't be an exception! ”

Wang Hai nodded and said, "That's true, but I believe that Secretary Lu will have a way, so you just wait for the good news!" ”

At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly knocked on the door outside and said, "Director Wang, Minister Li, Director Wu is almost at the door, please come here." ”

Wang Hai and Li Weidong hurriedly stood up, opened the box door and walked out, and stood with Ye Ming and Yi Xiaonan at the entrance of the second floor to greet them.

Soon, under the guidance of a waiter, Wu Dongsheng appeared in the aisle, stretched out his hand with a smile, shook hands with Wang Hai and Li Weidong very gracefully, and said polite words such as "fortunate meeting" to Wang Hai and Li Weidong, who met for the first time.

When shaking hands with Ye Ming, he also put his other hand on Ye Ming's shoulder, and complained very affectionately: "Xiao Ye, you went to the capital to attract investment last month, why didn't you go to my house to play?" Did I neglect you with a poor reception? Hahaha! ”

Ye Ming knew that he deliberately said this to Li Weidong and Wang Hai, the purpose was to show his love and affection for him, so he also replied with a smile: "Director Wu, the time schedule for that investment promotion activity is very tight, we Beishan has recruited several big investments, and we are negotiating and negotiating every day to sign an agreement of intent. However, this time I have time, and I will visit you at your house tomorrow, and I will accompany you for a drink or two. ”

Because he didn't know if Director Wu was willing to let Li Weidong and Wang Hai know about his wife's fiftieth birthday, Ye Ming didn't say anything about it, but just said that he was going to his house to play.

Wu Dongsheng said with satisfaction: "Understand, understand! Xiao Ye, you are now the secretary of the county party committee, work is the first, as for me, as long as you enter Beijing, you are welcome to play at any time. I heard that the last time you came to Beijing to carry out investment promotion, you have achieved fruitful results, and successfully attracted Fuxin Science and Technology Industrial Park to your Beishan County, which is a great achievement, congratulations to you! ”

Although Li Weidong guessed that Ye Ming might be more familiar with Director Wu, he didn't expect Director Wu to pay so much attention and affection to Ye Ming, which surprised him, and he believed Wang Hai's judgment even more: The relationship between Director Wu and Secretary Lu is unimaginably good for outsiders, and he is fortunate to meet him today, which is indeed the face of Secretary Lu and Ye Ming......

Next, the people in the box took Wu Dongsheng as the center and chatted very casually.

After chatting for about half an hour, Wu Dongsheng glanced at Li Weidong thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "Minister Li, the * comrades in your department are about to be transferred to Shenhua Petrochemical Company as the president, have you gotten the news?" ”

Li Weidong was taken aback and replied, "Director Wu, I didn't get the news, it's too sudden!" ”

It turns out that * is now the secretary of the party group and executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, three or four years younger than Li Weidong, is a very capable and promising leader, it is said that he is likely to take over the post of minister of science and technology next year, but he did not expect to be suddenly transferred to Shenhua Petrochemical Group to serve as the president, so Li Weidong is a little unable to react.

Wu Dongsheng smiled and said: "No wonder, this appointment has just been studied and decided by the central decision-making level, but the Central Organization Department has already informed you Minister Feng and Comrade * himself, and you should be able to hear the news when you return to the department." ”

Only then did Li Weidong remember: The CEO of Shenhua Petrochemical Company was announced for investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection two days ago because he was suspected of serious violations of rules and discipline. It seems that the deputy minister was urgently transferred by the central government to fight the fire......

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Dongsheng suddenly asked very abruptly: "Minister Li, I heard Comrade Lu Zhiyao say that you and he used to work together in the Central Committee of the Youth League when he was young, and you are old colleagues and friends, right?" ”

Li Weidong thought that Wu Dongsheng was going to ask him about the secret affair between Lu Zhiyao and Zhao Han, but he looked at him in amazement, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he muttered for a while before saying: "Director Wu, Secretary Lu and I are indeed old colleagues and old friends, but there was a little misunderstanding between us later, so we rarely interacted with each other later." ”

Wu Dongsheng naturally knew the reason for his blushing, and said with a slight smile: "Minister Li, I know a little bit about the contradictions between you, but as far as I know, Comrade Lu Zhiyao did not take the contradictions and estrangements you had when you were young, on the contrary, he spoke highly of you, saying that you are a good comrade with a lot of dedication, a sense of responsibility, and a very good ability and level. ”

Speaking of this, his words came to an abrupt end, he took a sip of the teacup on the table, looked at his watch, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too busy over there, so I can only accompany you to this time, farewell!" ”

Wang Hai and the others knew that as the director of the General Secretary's Office, his daily time was also arranged by the minute, and today he was able to spare this half an hour to meet with them, which was already a big face, so they didn't dare to keep him, and respectfully sent him to the entrance of the building, and did not come back until he turned the corner of the stairs.

When he was about to enter the box, Li Weidong suddenly pulled Wang Hai's sleeve and whispered: "Lao Wang, please come with me to sit in the box next door, I have a question to ask." ”

Then, he smiled and said to Ye Ming and Yi Xiaonan again, and then pulled Wang Hai into the box next door.

When the box door was closed, Li Weidong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked nervously: "Lao Wang, just now Director Wu suddenly mentioned my past with Secretary Lu, does he have any views and opinions on me?" If that's the case, I'm miserable. ”

Wang Hai stared at him a few times with a strange gaze, and suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that Li Weidong's cold hair stood on end, and he wondered if there was something wrong with one of his nerves.

After Wang Hai finished laughing, he patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Lao Li, why are you so confused?" I'm telling you: you're going to be lucky and lucky soon, and you're waiting to invite me to a drink! ”

Li Weidong still didn't react, and said hurriedly: "Lao Wang, can you make it clear?" You are so divine, I am confused by the second monk. ”

Wang Hai stared at him and asked, "Tell me: Why did Director Wu suddenly reveal to you the news that the party secretary and executive deputy minister of your ministry were about to be transferred?" Why did you suddenly mention Secretary Lu's evaluation of you? The mystery in this, are you really not able to understand it thoroughly? ”
