The car arrived at the "Northerner" noodle restaurant, Li Zhihong and Xu Haodong got off, Xu Haodong paid for the car, and was about to accompany Li Zhihong to the noodle restaurant, when the taxi driver came over and asked embarrassedly: "Secretary Li, Secretary Xu, can you take a picture?" ”

The two secretaries smiled at the same time and let the driver stand in the middle.

The driver was overjoyed, took out his mobile phone and took three photos in a row, thanked him a few times, and then left satisfied.

Li Zhihong smiled, "Xiao Xu, people like to take pictures now? Aren't you afraid that people will use it for other purposes? ”

Xu Haodong shook his head with a smile and said, "Leader, if we are even afraid of taking pictures, it will be too outdated." ”

"Wow, the hat is big enough."

"It's not a hat, it's a view."

The two entered the noodle restaurant, and under the guidance of the waiter, they came to the second floor and entered a private room. After sitting down, I ordered two bowls of noodles, two dishes, and two cans of beer.

Two large bowls of noodles are hot and fragrant. Li Zhihong and Xu Haodong had a very tacit understanding, they didn't say a word when they ate noodles, they didn't look at each other, and ate most of the bowl in one go.

Finally, Li Zhihong said: "The taste is authentic, but unfortunately it is a little worse, I came from the countryside, and we eat a big bowl of noodles there, which is eaten in squatting." ”

Xu Haodong was happy when he thought about it, "Leader, if you squat and eat, I'll take two pictures of you and post them on the Internet." ”

"Go, I'm old and I don't want to be an internet celebrity." Smiling, Li Zhihong asked: "Say, what is the matter with the roaring rush to the provincial capital?" ”

"Eat noodles first, eat noodles first and then talk about things."

After eating a large bowl of noodles, opening the beer, and tasting it slowly, Xu Haodong didn't speak, took out the two indictments, and put them in front of Li Zhihong.

After reading the two indictments, Li Zhihong asked with a solemn face: "This Zeng Lan, this Zeng Lan is the daughter of Deputy Secretary Zeng Xianren?" ”

"Yes." Xu Haodong nodded and said: "It is said that this Zeng Lan has been abroad for more than ten years, and after graduating from high school, he went abroad, so it can be said that he has become a foreigner from head to toe." After analysis, I concluded that her purpose was to hype, trying to take advantage of my small fame to become famous in one fell swoop. ”

Li Zhihong sighed, "This is the most useful hype method now." ”

Xu Haodong smiled bitterly: "So I was shot while lying down, no, I was also shot while hiding." ”

Li Zhihong asked: "You should have gone to Deputy Secretary Zeng first, how did he express his position?" ”

"He told me to wait for him to call, and he called his daughter back and then gave me an explanation."

"Is there anything else you would like to add to these two indictments?"

Xu Haodong introduced his relationship with Chen Hui, Chen Hui's relationship with Zeng Lan, and the process of getting to know Zeng Lan through Chen Hui.

Of course, Xu Haodong concealed the true relationship between Chen Hui and Zeng Lan, and he didn't want to ruin Chen Hui because of this. After all, even if you are a friend, you don't hesitate to take some risks, and officialdom is also a river and lake, and you also need friends.

Li Zhihong handed back the two indictments to Xu Haodong, "Deputy Secretary Zeng asked you to take the initiative to report this matter to me, right?" ”

Xu Haodong nodded, "The leader is wise." ”

Li Zhihong smiled slightly, "This is our Deputy Secretary Zeng." ”

What does this mean? There are enough meanings, Li Zhihong didn't explain, and Xu Haodong didn't dare to ask.

As we all know, the relationship between Li Zhihong and Zeng Xianren is very delicate. The two are two types of people, one is a pioneer and the other is conservative, and their governing ideas are very different, and they have different opinions on many issues. But the two of them have a decent face, the first leader respects the third-in-command very much, and the third-in-command is also very able to correct his position.

The mental world of senior cadres is unpredictable, so don't guess.

Of course, Li Zhihong gave specific instructions, "It's right not to go to court, Deputy Secretary Zeng will take the initiative to find me tomorrow, which is equivalent to you handing over this matter to us to deal with." ”

Xu Haodong breathed a sigh of relief, "I've caused trouble for the leader." Li Zhihong came forward, he couldn't ask for it, the secretary of the provincial party committee to the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, is the best combination to solve the problem.

Li Zhihong took a few sips of beer and waved his hand, "I didn't help you for nothing, you have to help me too." ”

Xu Haodong perked up, "Please give instructions from the leader." ”

"The provincial party school has a short-term training course for cadres at the department level, and some leaders are arranged to take turns to give lectures, I went to give a lesson, and the day after tomorrow it was my turn, you help me to give a lesson."

Xu Haodong hurriedly excused himself, "Leader, no, no, this can't help." ”

Li Zhihong pointed at Xu Haodong and said, "You can do it." ”

Xu Haodong smiled bitterly again, "I haven't entered the party school myself, leader, you are a typical duck on the shelf." ”

Li Zhihong said domineeringly: "It's decided." You leave an address, and the day after tomorrow at half past eight in the morning, I will send a car to pick you up, and the class time is from half past nine to twelve o'clock. ”

It's really time to catch the ducks on the shelves, Xu Haodong couldn't cry or laugh a little, "Leader, I'll go...... What can I talk about when I go? ”

"Talk about politics, talk about economics, talk about politics and economics, as an expert, talk about one family, there are no restrictions, you can talk about anything, you can talk about anything,"

Xu Haodong really didn't know the bottom in his heart, "Alas, I shouldn't have come to the provincial capital." ”

"Be confident." Li Zhihong asked, "Xiao Xu, do you know what I admire most about you?" ”

"Please point it out."

"Learn, keep learning." Li Zhihong said: "I call you a learning cadre, and now a cadre like you who is willing to continue to learn and make progress in continuous learning is simply more precious than a giant panda." On the other hand, 80 percent of the more than 80 students in the short-term training course for cadres at the department level have better academic qualifications than your Xu Haodong, more than 10 of them are still authentic masters, and seven of them have stayed abroad. But it is regrettable and angry that since they joined the work, they have relaxed their requirements for themselves at all, and I dare say that they have not read a book seriously. ”

After a pause, Li Zhihong smiled: "So, with the ink in your stomach, it is more than enough to be their teacher, what are you afraid of, even if you have a wide sea and a sky, you can shock those guys who don't learn and don't know how to do it." ”

Xu Haodong asked: "This training class won't be a study class for backward elements, right?" ”

Li Zhihong shook his head, "No, but from the ranks of cadres in the province, they are all relatively excellent at the same level, and they are ready to be allocated by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee." ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "It's a training class for young and middle-aged cadres, they are all top people from all over the world, and I really don't know the bottom of my heart when I give them lessons." ”

"That's exactly the problem." Li Zhihong said solemnly: "In recent years, the party's style has been corrupted, and the quality of the cadre contingent has continued to deteriorate. By the way, the reading activities you have engaged in in Yunling are a good medicine for the deterioration of the quality of the cadre contingent. ”

Looking at Xu Haodong, Li Zhihong added earnestly: "Xiao Xu, I am deeply saddened by the current situation of the cadre team. In the name of a friend, not as the secretary of the provincial party committee, please help me with this. ”

Xu Haodong stood up and replied solemnly: "The leader is serious, and I am duty-bound." ”

"Sit down, sit down." Li Zhihong waved his hand and smiled instead, "You rarely come to the province, let's say, what else do you have to do this time?" ”

"I would like to give a small comment to the leader first."
