Seeing off the guests of Canada's sister cities in front of the Rome Hall, He Jiaguo looked at his watch, and it was only eight o'clock, so he went to the grand banquet hall next to him to take a look. The banquet of the overseas Chinese investment group in the grand banquet hall has also ended, Qian Fanxing and the two deputy mayors who accompanied him have long since disappeared, and Xu Xiaoke, deputy secretary general and director of the reception office, is still there. When He Jiaguo entered the door, Xu Xiaoke was carefully reviewing the bill of expenses handed to her by the foreman, holding a pen in her slender hand, but she didn't drop down to sign.
He Jiaguo walked in front of Xu Xiaoke and smacked his lips: "It's really the best red housekeeper in our city!" ”
Xu Xiaoke was stunned, and then he saw He Jiaguo: "Yo, Mayor He, you scared me!" ”
He Jiaguo smiled: "What are you scared of?" Did you eat someone else's kickback? ”
Xu Xiaoke ignored He Jiaguo, pointed to the bill of expenses, and negotiated with the foreman: "Why did you use so many drinks?" No way. There are three tables in total, including thirty-two of our escorts, and you dare to count me ninety-eight bottles of drink? Xiao Liu, call your Mr. Wang to come over and ask him to count the empty bottles for me! ”
He Jiaguo said: "Forget it, the meat is rotten in the pot, and the Xiajiang Hotel is also the best in the city." Don't be serious! ”
Xu Xiaoke insisted that the foreman go to the general manager of the catering department, and after the foreman left, he suddenly pinched He Jiaguo and said: "You are generous, there is so much reception fee a year, and there are so many Chinese and foreign guests, how can I receive it!" ”
After a while, Mr. Wang came over with a smile: "Secretary General Xu, look at you, you have criticized us again!" If you criticize, we will change it! You say, you say, how many bottles does a drink count? Your aunt and grandmother said that as much as you say, you can say as much as you want! ”
Xu Xiaoke was also not polite: "At most fifty bottles, you will play tricks on me again, and I will arrange to enter the big hotel." ”
Mr. Wang smiled more and more amiably and cutely: "Grandma, don't be temperamental, we hold you as an aunt and grandmother up and down the hotel, and we don't respect Secretary Li, Mayor Qian, and Mayor He as much as we do for you!" ”
Xu Xiaoke smiled: "Don't say it, you respect my annual reception fee of millions of dollars!" ”
signed the expense bill, and Xu Xiaoke went out with He Jiaguo.
In the lobby, Xu Xiaoke asked, "How is it, Mayor He, my pig brain is okay, right?" ”
He Jiaguo was disdainful: "It's just a dog's belly and chicken intestines, not much stronger than a housekeeper." ”
Xu Xiaoke was not happy, so he raised his leg and walked out the door.
He Jiaguo chased out the door: "Hey, where are you going?" ”
Xu Xiaoke said: "Go to the train station to pick up a deputy mayor of Nanjing, and the car will be there in another twenty minutes!" ”
Seeing that there was no one around, He Jiaguo whispered: "Then I'll take a bath here first, and you'll be busy." ”
Xu Xiaoke didn't say anything, got into the car, and drove away.
I took a shower in the guest room, wearing only my shirt, and someone knocked on the door. He Jiaguo knew that it was definitely not Xu Xiaoke, Xu Xiaoke went to the train station to pick up people, and arranged for guests to stay, and he couldn't come back for forty minutes to an hour. I thought it was Shen Xiaoyang, a reporter from Xiajiang Daily, or Zhao Shuming, deputy director of the Third Division of the Secretary, who only knew about this room, and they had planned articles on the International Industrial Park and Hongfeng Mall here with him.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw that it was a beautiful woman, quite personable, not like the Yellow Women's Army.
Seeing He Jiaguo in a daze, the beautiful woman smiled: "Mayor He, when you become the assistant to the mayor, you don't recognize people?" ”
Mayor He felt that this woman's face was a little familiar, what was her surname, where had she seen it, and she really couldn't remember it, so he laughed and laughed haha: "Look at what you said, my memory is not very good, but my girlfriend can always remember." ”
The beautiful woman pouted and shouted, "Then you Mayor He still laid such a black hand and put me to death?" ”
He Jiaguo suddenly realized: This beautiful woman is Zhao Juanjuan. When preparing for Huamei International Investment Company three years ago, Xu Congquan pulled him and Zhao Juanjuan to have a meal together, and it seemed that he was still a guest invited by Zhao Juanjuan. At that time, Xu Congquan meant to take some money from Zhao Juanjuan, but later it was not negotiated, and the two sides had no contact.
After Zhao Juanjuan sat down, she said: "Mayor He, you are no one else, you have also run a company, after business, I don't believe that you will jump out to make an article in Hongfeng Mall!" Since you are so benevolent and compassionate, you should not be an assistant to the mayor, you should be God, you should be the secretary general of the United Nations, and even take care of African refugees! ”
He Jiaguo couldn't help but deal with it seriously: "Miss Zhao, I'm afraid this is not just a matter of compassion, right?" Is there still a question of judicial fairness? Is there still a question of justice and injustice? You contracted someone's shopping mall, rented it out, and made so much money, but you don't want to pay for the contract, you can't say that you want to go to the United Nations, even if you go to heaven, right? ”
Zhao Juanjuan said: "It is unreasonable to say that it is reasonable, we must always take the legal judgment as the standard, China is now a society ruled by law, and we cannot replace the law with power, replace the law with emotion, and still less be lawless." As soon as Shen Xiaolan and the others make trouble, you officials will be afraid, and you will be worried about social instability, what kind of reform will you carry out with this mentality! ”
The smile on He Jiaguo's face disappeared, and he put on a business-like posture: "However, reform cannot be without social stability, let alone taking advantage of it!" As you said, I have also run a company and engaged in business, so I know how to cherish the stable social and political situation, the society is in chaos, the most unlucky thing is not Shen Xiaolan and them, but people like you Zhao Juanjuan, the poor eat the big ones eat you first! They can't make you spit out your money in legal ways today, and they will use illegal means to make you spit it out in the future, believe it or not? What I do today is not only for the workers of Hongfeng Company, for the stability of society, and in a sense, for your interests! You Zhao Juanjuan should be clear about this! Be sober! Stop moving around! ”
Zhao Juanjuan smiled and asked, "Mayor He, does Governor Zhao agree with you doing this?" ”
He Jiaguo asked rhetorically: "Why doesn't Governor Zhao agree?" ”
Zhao Juanjuan was still laughing: "Governor Zhao didn't tell you, I am a typical example of him being arrested?" ”
He Jiaguo shook his head and said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with this case. ”
Zhao Juanjuan simply showed out the hole cards: "Mayor He, I don't know what kind of crazy thing you are doing!" For my lawsuit, your father-in-law, our Governor Zhao has greeted me more than once, are you holding on so much, are you against me or against Governor Zhao? You don't want to think about it, without a lot of strong relationships from the province to the city, can my lawsuit go to this extent? Mayor He, I don't want to say that you are a passer-by, I don't know the depths, but I advise you to calm down, don't fall for others, you are fooled, you will go all the way to the dark, not only me, but also a large number of real power figures, Governor Zhao will not protect you! ”
He Jiaguo couldn't hold it back: "Miss Zhao Juanjuan, please don't threaten me like this, I, the mayor's assistant, was not guaranteed by Governor Zhao!" I'm fragrant, I'm smelly, I'm good and I'm bad, it's all about the wind blowing the hat! Taking a step back, even if this mayor's assistant is not right, I will still be alive and well, even better than I am now! I don't need to be as cunning as you are, and I'll get what I deserve! The facts are already out there! ”
Zhao Juanjuan sighed: "Yes, yes, Mayor He, you are a difficult person to deal with, even if I give you hundreds of thousands, you won't look at it." Everyone knows that you have a wise brain, and according to the current term, you are a 'knower' who can make a lot of money with your knowledge and culture. Climb up, you don't seem to have much interest. - Of course, people like you are too sharp, and you don't recognize your relatives, and even Governor Zhao didn't want to use you when he was the secretary of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee. Therefore, it is difficult for you to make a big difference, that is, to set off a cannon for others, and to be a gun. ”
The He family was a little proud, "Therefore, I have always advocated high salaries and low salaries, so that you have no cracks to drill." ”
Zhao Juanjuan thinks she has seen it through: "Mayor He, in fact, money is the same as power, it doesn't have much meaning in itself, if it can't be turned into a kind of enjoyment in life, such as a good time for wine and beauty......"
He Jiaguo immediately picked up: "By the way, by the way, I almost forgot, you are a beauty - I have to admit, you are very beautiful, I had a good impression of you when we met for the first time three years ago." However, at that time, I never imagined that we would meet again today, which is a pity for me, really, the peony has become a poppy. ”
Zhao Juanjuan smiled charmingly: "Mayor He, do you still have a good impression of me now?" ”
He Jiaguo smiled: "What? What opportunities did you find? Want to make a deal with me? ”
Zhao Juanjuan said: "If you are still the CEO of Huamei International, maybe I will indulge with you, I will always respect the successful people in the money world, but you are just a little mayor's assistant now, do you think you are worthy?" ”
He Jiaguo laughed at himself: "According to this, I still have to climb up desperately!" ”
Zhao Juanjuan said almost sincerely: "Mayor He, I admire your integrity and courage, but as a friend in the past, I have to tell you the truth, you are the cannon fodder of some politicians in Xiajiang." I really don't understand, why can't you just save some snacks and make a lot of money? I think you can try to be Li Ka-shing, why do you have to get involved in the unfathomable whirlpool of contradictions in the Xiajiang? Besides, Governor Zhao Qigong is your father-in-law again. ”
He Jiaguo deliberately made a cynical appearance and said: "Because I can't see the tears of so many laid-off workers, and I can't see the ugliness and shamelessness of people like you, I think I can make laid-off workers laugh gradually, and I can make you heartless bastards a little worried and make some difficulties, so I am very interested in being an official, even if it is cannon fodder." ”
Zhao Juanjuan, with a confident and tolerant face, sighed lightly: "Mayor He, then, let me leave my words here: your interest in being an official is likely to come and go quickly, really!" You can do it yourself! With that, he walked away proudly.
He Jiaguo had never seen such a rampant woman, so he understood who Shen Xiaolan's opponent was, and why a group of communists couldn't win a reasonable lawsuit for two years! It seems that this woman's backstage is not generally hard, but very hard. She made it very clear: in addition to her father-in-law Zhao Qigong, there are also quite a number of powerful figures.
When Xu Xiaoke came, He Jiaguo was still angry and scolded: "...... This dog woman threatens me today! I still don't believe that I can't be the mayor's assistant, I still don't believe that I can't bring down her backstage, that Governor Zhao dares to continue to be her backstage, I even pull Governor Zhao together! If she can't bring down these backstagers, I think the Communist Party will have to fall! ”
Xu Xiaoke was so frightened that he scolded, twisting He Jiaguo's ears fiercely and scolding: "What are you stupid about?" Don't want to mess around in Xiajiang? Be forgiving and forgiving, is your strategy a little better?! Governor Zhao is still your father-in-law! ”
He Jiaguo hugged Xu Xiaoke: "Xiaoke, as soon as you marry me, he will not be my father-in-law!" ”
Xu Xiaoke pushed He Jiaguo away: "Go, go, I won't marry a madman like you who doesn't eat fireworks in the world!" ”
He Jiaguo walked out of the door: "Even if you don't marry, I don't want you if you want to marry today!" I'll ask Li Dongfang now, is he the secretary of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China? Is Xiajiang's power still in the hands of the Communist Party? Does he dare to fight this evil force to the end, if he doesn't dare, Lao Tzu will resign tomorrow, and he will never be a vegetarian! ”
Xu Xiaoke grabbed He Jiaguo: "Where are you going?" Don't look at what time it is! ”
He Jiaguo pretended to be sentimental and said: "It's miserable, it's miserable, how can the time with a woman pass so quickly!" ”
