Chapter 386: Investigation
Although Zhang Yingzhi has seen Secretary Lu on TV many times, she is still a little nervous when talking to him face-to-face at this moment, and sweat oozes from her forehead. When answering Secretary Lu's questions, although there were no mistakes, he was always a little stammering, a little incoherent, and his eyes were dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at Secretary Lu.
Fortunately, he is extremely proficient in his business, although he is more flustered, but in the process of reporting, he still grasped the key points, not only talked about the achievements of the province and Taiwan in recent years, but also highlighted the contributions he made in the development of the province and Taiwan, so that Secretary Lu has a preliminary understanding of his ability.
Secretary Lu didn't care about his flustered attitude. On the contrary, he thinks that Zhang Yingzhi's panic is a more realistic and real manifestation of him, at least, it is certain that he is not the kind of official oilman who likes to show off his lips and like to talk at length, but a so-called "honest man in officialdom" who is immersed in hard work and is not good at drilling.
Therefore, his overall impression of this Zhang Yingzhi is very good. After he finished answering his question, he said a few words of encouragement, which made Zhang Yingzhi's face flush with joy, and the happy expression on his face couldn't be concealed.
Because Ye Ming and the others came relatively early, it was not yet six o'clock at this time, and many guests had already come to the hotel one after another. Xu Lizhong walked to the door and instructed the waiter to close the door casually, so as not to be seen eating in Secretary Lu and attracting crowds of onlookers.
When he was about to serve the food, Ye Ming suddenly received a call from Wang Xiuguang, asking him where he was, whether he had eaten, and said that he would invite him to dinner together.
Ye Ming glanced at Secretary Lu and said, "Mayor Wang, I'm eating at the Jinqiao Hotel now, and I'm about to serve the food, so I won't accompany you!" ”
He didn't dare to tell him that he was with Secretary Lu, for fear that he would come over after learning the news.
Secretary Lu heard that it was Wang Xiuguang calling Ye Ming, and after a little groaning, he suddenly said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, did Mayor Wang of your K City call you just now?" If he hasn't eaten yet, call him over and eat a little! Since I came to Tianjiang, I haven't met him yet, so I just took this opportunity to get to know him. ”
It turned out that Secretary Lu had communicated with Secretary Li in the afternoon and learned that Wang Xiuguang had gone to his house for dinner, and Secretary Li had a good impression of Wang Xiuguang. So, he also wanted to meet with Ye Ming's parents, observe him, see his ability and level, and learn about his experience and work.
Ye Ming knew that the person Wang Xiuguang wanted to see the most was Secretary Lu. Especially after learning that he was appointed by Secretary Lu as the director of the Department of Land and Resources, this desire in his heart became even stronger. After eating at Secretary Li's house at noon, he pulled himself aside and said: During the Spring Festival, you must take yourself to meet Secretary Lu and express your gratitude to his old man in person.
Therefore, at this moment, hearing Secretary Lu take the initiative to see Wang Xiuguang, Ye Ming was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly dialed Wang Xiuguang's phone again, saying, "Mayor Wang, I am with Secretary Lu now." He heard that you haven't eaten yet, and asks you to come over for a little bit of food and get to know you. You didn't ask someone else, right? ”
Wang Xiuguang said "ah" on the phone, and was stunned for a moment before asking in a trembling voice: "Brother, is it true?" Did Secretary Lu really ask me to come over and have dinner with you? Okay, okay, I'll come over right away! ”
In fact, Wang Xiuguang invited his old classmate, Liang Lunjiang, vice minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Director Wang of the Cadre Department, and Director Li of the Group Leader Department to have dinner tonight. He just called Ye Ming and asked him to go to dinner together, which was also a good intention, and wanted to introduce Vice Minister Liang, Director Wang, Director Li and others to Ye Ming, and timely disclose Ye Ming's relationship and background to these people in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, so that they can remember Ye Ming in the future and accumulate a little more high-level contacts for his future career promotion.
At this moment, he heard Ye Ming say that Secretary Lu called him over for dinner, where could he take care of Minister Liang, Director Wang, and Director Li? At the same time, he didn't dare to drive by himself, for fear that Secretary Lu would be surprised-because according to the regulations, leading cadres are not allowed to drive by themselves. It's just that he came to the provincial capital this time to do something extremely secret, so he didn't bring a secretary or a driver, but drove in person.
Therefore, as soon as he received Ye Ming's call, he quickly ran to the side of the highway to stop the taxi, and at the same time called Liang Lunjiang anxiously: "Minister Liang?" I'm really sorry, I have a very urgent matter for the time being, so I can't accompany you to dinner with Director Wang and Director Li tonight. As for what the reason is, I'll tell you later. I'm really sorry, please forgive you and the two directors Wang and Li, and I will ask you and the two directors again at noon tomorrow to ask the three of you to take the blame again! ”
Because it was Secretary Lu calling for himself to eat, he didn't dare to reveal the news to Minister Liang and others, so he had to vaguely say that he had something very urgent.
Liang Lunjiang knew that Wang Xiuguang was a very trustworthy person, and now that he had temporarily failed to make an appointment, he must indeed have 100,000 urgent things, so he said very understandingly: "Xiuguang, you go and do your business first." Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, I'll explain to you, you don't have to call them personally. ”
Wang Xiuguang thanked Liang Lunjiang and urged the taxi driver to rush to the Jinqiao Hotel as quickly as possible. In order to save time and encourage the driver to speed up, he simply took out a hundred yuan in advance and handed it to the driver, asking him not to look for it, but to pick the nearest road and hurry to the hotel.
Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, and Wang Xiuguang's 100 yuan has played a role. Originally, it usually took about fifteen minutes to get from Shenlong Hotel to Jinqiao Hotel, but the driver didn't take the avenue, walked through the streets and alleys, and drove the car very fast, and it only took more than eight minutes to send Wang Xiuguang to his destination.
When Wang Xiuguang pushed open the door of the box sweating profusely and saw Secretary Lu's familiar and unfamiliar face, he was a little excited and couldn't hold it back, and almost burst into tears......
Like Zhang Yingzhi, Secretary Lu also briefly chatted with him Wang Xiuguang for a while, asked about some situation in K City, and through Wang Xiuguang's answers, words and deeds, he also had a preliminary judgment on him, and felt that Li Runji was not mistaken, this Wang Xiuguang is indeed a little talented, and his personality is also upright, and he is a good cadre.
When the waiter served the dishes, Secretary Lu just glanced at the dishes, then turned his head and said to Ye Ming with a smile: "Xiao Ye, this dish should have been ordered by you!" Yes, yes, I'm the real tooth sacrifice tonight. Hahaha! ”
