Chapter 325: Unexpected (PK Plus Update)
In fact, Secretary Li's invitation to Secretary Lu to come over for dinner was just a joke and a bypassing remark, because he thought that it was impossible for Secretary Lu to come over for dinner, which was determined by the identity and status of the two of them. γLatest Chapter Readingγ
Under normal circumstances, leaders like Secretary Lu and Secretary Li who have entered the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee usually want to talk about things, and they will talk about it in the office, and will not go to anyone's home or find a remote teahouse or hotel to talk about. Because once that is done, there is a suspicion of forming small circles and forming small gangs. Forming small circles and forming small groups is a relatively taboo behavior at the top, and it is also easy to arouse the envy and criticism of other Standing Committee members.
Therefore, in a leader at the level of Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, even if the relationship between the two people is good, they should usually abide by the maxim of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water", and they should not be too close, nor can they often go to each other's homes, so as not to be mistaken for a small circle, or what conspiracy the two people want to do.
Therefore, when Secretary Lu suddenly said that he was going to come over for dinner, Secretary Li was still a little unconvinced, thinking that he was also joking, so he said happily: "Secretary Lu, don't break your promise!" You've been here in Tianjiang for a few months, and you haven't come to my house yet! I want Xiao Li to stir-fry a few special dishes, so I use the specialties brought by Xiaoye as raw materials. If you don't come, I'll tell you the taste when we have a meeting, don't be greedy! Hahaha! β
Secretary Lu also laughed heartily a few times and asked, "You seem to live in the family home of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau next door to the Provincial Party Committee!" Okay, I'll come over now, you want Xiao Ye to pick me up at the gate of the Local Taxation Bureau, I'll be there in ten minutes! β
Hearing his tone, Secretary Li couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Secretary Lu, are you not joking?" Are you really ready to come? β
Secretary Lu smiled heartily again and said, "A gentleman's word, a quick horse!" If I say come here, I'll definitely come over, is there any reason to joke? Prepare your meals! Last time you boasted to me that you still have a little bit of a house at home, which is wild dried pine mushrooms, and you are usually reluctant to cook and eat them. I'm here today, and you're going to take out all your belongings! It's best for you to cook and fry it yourself, I'm not afraid of your Tianjiang peppers now, you fry pine mushrooms with red peppers, just right to go with wine! Hahaha! β
When Secretary Li heard Secretary Lu say this, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: although he and Secretary Lu have the same temperament, similar interests, and clear aspirations, Secretary Lu has been in the provincial and ministerial position for many years after all, and his reputation in the core leadership is also very good, and the relationship is very hard. Although he has been promoted to the Standing Committee, he is an exceptional promotion, his foundation in the provincial party committee is insufficient, and he does not have a very strong backer at the top.
Therefore, although he is already a member of the Standing Committee, he still has a little awe of Secretary Lu - after all, people's qualifications are there, and he is also the squad leader and the number one, to say that he has no sense of reverence for him, it is obviously self-deception.
Although Secretary Li is not a person who likes flattery, he still feels honored and excited that Secretary Lu can come to his home for dinner.
Therefore, after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly said to Li Jingya: "Xiao Li, wait for Secretary Lu to come over for dinner, you hurry up and go to stir-fry." Do you have any alcohol at home? Secretary Lu came to my house for dinner for the first time, and there was no atmosphere without drinking two glasses of wine. Moreover, I know that Secretary Lu drinks a lot. If you're in a good mood, drink two bottles of liquor at a time, no problem. If you don't have enough alcohol at home, you have to go out and buy it. β
Then, he turned his head to Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Ye, you go to the gate to pick up Secretary Lu, he won't come to my house, I just asked you to pick him up." By the way, you can stop by the shop at the door to see what good wine is available, and buy me two bottles...... Xiao Li, you give money to Xiao Ye and ask him to help us buy two bottles of wine. β
He was originally going to go to the gate with Ye Ming to greet Secretary Lu in person, but after thinking about it, waiting for the two secretaries to walk through the family courtyard of the Local Taxation Bureau will definitely attract everyone's side eyes and discussions, maybe tomorrow this news will spread to the compound of the provincial party committee, so he just gave up after thinking about it, and prepared to wait for the elevator to pick him up.
Therefore, before Ye Ming left, he instructed again: "After Secretary Lu arrives at the gate, you dial my mobile phone number, and then hang up, let me know that he is coming, remember?" β
Ye Ming nodded, saw Li Jingya take out a handful of banknotes and stuffed them into her hand, and said with a smile: "Aunt Li, I have money, I don't want you to give it." Secretary Lu and I are also old friends, and I should invite him to drink two bottles of wine. β
Li Jingya now regards him as a family member, and seeing that he doesn't want money to buy wine, she no longer talks to him politely, and turns around and goes into the kitchen to cook and stir-fry.
As soon as Ye Ming opened the door of the living room, Xia Chuchu suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "I'm going too, I'll bring you wine later...... I've only seen Secretary Lu on TV, and I want to see his true face for the first time today, okay? β
Secretary Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Chu Chu can go best." You two golden boys and girls went to greet Secretary Lu, he must be very happy. Hahaha! β
Xia Chuchu heard Secretary Li praise her and Ye Ming as a pair of golden boys and girls, she smiled happily, held Ye Ming's arm with both hands very affectionately, turned around and smiled at Secretary Li, and said, "Godfather, I like you to say this the most!" I'll toast you three glasses of wine when you're ready to eat! β
With that, she walked out of the room side by side with Ye Ming.
After Secretary Li went downstairs after Ye Ming went downstairs, he carefully thought about the reason why Secretary Lu came here to eat today, and always felt that he could come today, as if it was related to Ye Ming - because he clearly remembered: After he jokingly invited Secretary Lu to come over to eat Xinleng souvenirs, Secretary Lu began to say that he would have to review a few documents later, but he came. In fact, he knew that it was just his excuse. And the real reason is because he doesn't want to easily destroy the tacit relationship between their Standing Committee members that do not visit each other and do not interact with each other personally, nor does he want to leave a pretext and handle for anyone, especially Governor Qin Ge, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee Wang Hai and others.
However, when he inadvertently said that these sustenances were sent by Ye Ming, and Ye Ming was at his home, Secretary Lu seemed to be very surprised and asked rhetorically, and then suddenly his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he said that he would come over to eat immediately......
What the hell is going on? Although Secretary Lu personally told himself that he liked Ye Ming very much, he thought that he was just a casual word of praise. But now it seems that Secretary Lu really likes Ye Ming very much, and he came to his house for dinner this time, it seems that he made a special trip because Ye Ming was there......
Thinking of this, Secretary Li shook his head a little suspiciously, feeling that he might have thought too much, Ye Ming should not have such a great charm to let a provincial party secretary make a special trip to see him.
