Chapter 107: The Power of the Secretary
Sneng Xiaotian doesn't need to ask his father to know: this girl who broke into his house without permission and claimed to be his "real girlfriend" is definitely surnamed Lin, and her name is definitely Lin Xue!
Thinking of this quirky girl, Sneer Xiaotian smiled bitterly on the phone and said to his father: "Dad, that's not my girlfriend, she was joking with you." I can't come back today, you can treat her well, let her rest for a night, send her to Wushui tomorrow to take a car, and let her go to the capital. His mom and dad and grandpa were looking for her. β
Leng Jidao was obviously relieved on the phone, "oh", and said: "I said, Xiao Su is such a good girl, if you are still half-hearted with her and still hook up with other girls outside, I will not agree to it first." I'll make her some good game tonight, and it's not easy for the little girl to come all the way from the capital to see you, so don't worry, I'll treat her well. β
After hanging up the phone, Sneer smiled apologetically at Secretary Gu and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry, I still have to call back to an elder, you take a look at the painting first, and I'll talk to you in detail later." β
Secretary Gu nodded, smiled and said, "You are busy, I will appreciate this ancient painting carefully." β
Sneer Xiaotian dialed the old chief's house again, but this time it was Xue Ningning who answered.
"Old chief...... Xiaoxue has come to my house, and my dad called me just now to tell me that she came to my house this morning. Please tell the old chief and Mayor Lin and ask them not to worry. My father will send her to Wushui tomorrow to take the train back, and it is estimated that she will be there the day after tomorrow. β
"This ghost girl, she is really getting bolder and more presumptuous. When she came back this time, she had to let her father give her a good beating...... Xiao Leng, why haven't you come to the capital all this time? Xiao Xue's grandfather is talking to you every day, saying why you haven't come to the capital to see him. Or, you can just come to my house with Xiaoxue tomorrow to play. If you don't come, the old man sulks at home every day, and I'm afraid that he will have something wrong with him. β
Sneered and hurriedly said: "Aunt Xue, now the Spring Festival is about to be celebrated in three or four days, and I still have some things to deal with here, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come a year ago." In this way, after the Spring Festival, I will come over immediately. I was also a little worried about the old chief's health, for fear that his condition would recur. β
"Okay, then it's settled! Xiaoxue, you persuade her to come back tomorrow. β
Secretary Gu didn't pay attention to his phone at first, but then listened to his words for a while, "Old Chief" and "Mayor Lin", he couldn't help but be suspicious, stared at Sneer Tiantian for a while, and suddenly asked: "Young man, which Mayor Lin is you talking about?"
Secretary Su saw that the opportunity was rare, and took the opportunity to say: "Mayor Lin that Xiao Leng said is Lin Meng, the acting mayor of K City. β
Secretary Gu was taken aback: he had vaguely heard someone say in the capital: Secretary Bai's original old chief, Mr. Lin, was already dying, and the central government was ready to set up a funeral committee, but later he was saved by a mysterious doctor with a mysterious kung fu, and his health was getting better day by day, and now he has returned to the state before the onset of the disease.
Another time, he overheard Aunt Wang, the nanny of Secretary Bai's family, say: Secretary Bai and his family often invite a young man to his home for massages, and often eat at his house, and it is said that this young man is the mysterious doctor who rescued Old Man Lin......
These thoughts just flashed through Secretary Gu's mind, but his attitude towards Sneer Xiaotian changed immediately, and his tense face at the beginning also relaxed, revealing a smile, and said: "Young man, it turns out that you are still an acquaintance of Mayor Lin, fortunately, fortunately!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook it with Sneer Xiaotian and Vice Mayor Su.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Secretary Su said to Secretary Gu with three points of apology: "Gu Mi, I'm really sorry. In fact, I didn't tell you the truth: this young man's name is Sneng Xiaotian, and he often comes and goes with Mayor Lin's family and Secretary Du's family. Also, he often goes to Secretary Bai's house to give them a health massage. Today he heard that Gu Mi wanted to buy one or two antiques for Secretary Bai to go back, and it happened that he had this picture of a lady in the Song Hui Dynasty in his hand, so he asked me to make an appointment with you to meet. He has always admired Secretary Bai very much, and wants to lend your hand to give him this painting. When you arrived, you said that the painting was found at the antique market, and you must not say that Xiao Leng entrusted you to give it to him. β
The meaning of Secretary Su's words is to give this painting to Secretary Gu, so that he can transfer it to Secretary Bai again, and get a great favor from Secretary Bai.
Secretary Gu knew that since they had taken such pains to arrange this meeting today, they would definitely not just send such a precious painting to themselves, so he said bluntly: "Xiao Su, I understand what you mean. I do like this painting, and I guess Xiao Leng took it and didn't want to sell it to me. If I can do it, I will take Xiao Leng's affection and bring this painting back to Secretary Bai; if I can't do it, this painting will still be completed and returned to Zhao. Because with my financial strength, I can't afford to buy such a painting, and I won't accept such a valuable gift from you in vain!"
Secretary Su knew that Secretary Gu had been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he had already seen through the purpose of their visit today, so he also said bluntly: "Gu Mi, I brought Xiao Leng and Vice Mayor Su to you today, and I really have a difficult matter to ask you to come forward. β
Secretary Gu glanced at Vice Mayor Su and asked, "Mayor Su and Xiao Leng are relatives, aren't they?"
He had already guessed that this must have something to do with the deputy mayor.
Secretary Su replied with a smile: "It can also be said to be a relative! Xiao Leng's girlfriend is Mayor Su's daughter." By the way, Mayor Su's daughter is still Secretary Du's goddaughter!"
Secretary Gu let out an "oh" and said, "Then what do you want me to do?
"It's like this: Mingguang City, where Mayor Su served, was investigated and punished by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection not long ago as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and Lei Yiming, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, committed suicide. Mayor Su has been in the position of deputy mayor of industry for many years and has made great contributions to the economic development of Mingguang. This time, he wanted to take this opportunity to go to the next level. However, Governor Cheng Hao and Vice Minister Ouyang, who is now presiding over the work of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, seem to have some opinions about Mayor Su. Therefore, I would like to ask you to come forward to say hello to Governor Cheng and Minister Ouyang, and hope that they will not embarrass Mayor Su on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee that is studying the configuration of the Mingguang City team. β
Secretary Gu asked: "What does Secretary Du mean? Does he approve of Mayor Su becoming a member of the Standing Committee?"
"Secretary Du is definitely in favor, I can vouch for this. It's just that Secretary Du came when he first arrived, and he only had one vote at this kind of meeting to appoint and dismiss cadres, so he also felt very embarrassed. β
"Oh, that's it!"
Secretary Gu raised his head and frowned for a while, and said, "That's it, it's safer to do this." I will call Governor Cheng and Du Ming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and I will invite them to a meal, and I will tell Mayor Su about this matter at the dinner table. β
"What about Minister Ouyang?"
Secretary Su asked a little worriedly.
Secretary Gu smiled disdainfully and said, "He doesn't have to do this." Since he is on the same line with Governor Cheng, if Governor Cheng agrees, will he still dare to speak against him? I called Deputy Secretary Du Ming over for the sake of insurance and asked him to do the work of other Standing Committee members. After all, Secretary Du Yuan is not good to directly lobby for Mayor Su, right?"
Secretary Su and Deputy Mayor Su nodded appreciatively. They knew very well that the reason why Secretary Gu didn't call Minister Ouyang Wen was because his rank was too low and it was not worth him to come forward to invite him. And indeed, as he said, as long as Governor Cheng clearly agrees with the promotion of Vice Mayor Su, he will not dare to speak against the acting organization minister who has not yet been turned into a regular minister.
After a few people discussed it, Secretary Su asked Secretary Gu's opinion on where to eat.
Secretary Gu looked at their current box and said, "My opinion, let's eat in this teahouse." It is relatively secluded here, and the decoration of the teahouse is also very distinctive, and the grade is not low. Moreover, our meal today is not the main content, and I guess Governor Cheng and they will not care where to eat this meal. β
Secretary Su thought for a moment: This is indeed the case! Governor Cheng's purpose is to get close to Secretary Gu, eat and chat together, harmonize feelings, and shorten the distance between each other, which is the most important thing. As for where to eat and what to eat, it is estimated that no one will care!
Next, Secretary Gu called Governor Cheng and Deputy Secretary Du Ming. When the two of them heard that Secretary Gu took the initiative to invite them to dinner, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and agreed again and again on the phone.
Half an hour later, Governor Cheng and Deputy Secretary Du arrived at the teahouse almost at the same time.
Governor Cheng first walked into the box, and when he saw Secretary Su, Deputy Mayor Su and Sneer Xiaotian, he was stunned for a moment, but soon put on a smile on his face, grabbed two steps and shook hands with Secretary Gu tightly, and said: "Although Gu Mi's hometown is in our Tiannan, we rarely go home! I went to the capital several times to meet you to come out for a gathering, but you were busy with work and had no time. This is a rare opportunity, and we need to have a good talk. β
Secretary Gu smiled and said: "Governor Cheng, you should know the best about the work of the secretary, twenty-four hours a day, you have to be ready to serve the head at all times, and there is really very little leisure time." If it weren't for the invitation of my two friends and Secretary Su this time, I might have flown back to the capital a long time ago. β
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Vice Mayor Su and Sneer.
Governor Cheng was shocked, but his face was silent, he looked at Vice Mayor Su and said, "Isn't this Comrade Su Hong?" Hehe, I didn't know until today that you and Gu Mi were old friends! By the way, this little comrade isββ"
As he spoke, he looked at the sneering sky with his eyes.
Secretary Su hurriedly said: "Governor Cheng, this young man's name is Sneng Xiaotian, his hometown is Wushui County, Mingguang City, and now he is studying at Capital University, he is the vice chairman of the Student Union of Capital University, the executive committee member of the All-China Youth Federation, and not long ago he served as the executive vice president of the Poverty Alleviation Foundation under the Youth Federation. β
As soon as Secretary Su introduced this, Governor Cheng immediately remembered the name Sneer.
