0538 Audience with the Prime Minister
"Secretary Zhao, Mayor Zhang, the prime minister is invited, please come with me."
Li Haiming finally appeared again, and also brought a news that made Zhao Zhongguo excited, compared to Zhao Zhongguo, Zhang Zetao was relatively calm.
In Zhao Zhongguo of Jishan Province, his political achievements for more than a year are not good, if it were not for the relationship between the Jinghua Zhao family, the position of the secretary of the Jishan Provincial Party Committee would have changed long ago. Therefore, Zhao Zhongguo attached great importance to this summons of Li Lao. But Zhang Zetao did not have as much pressure as Zhao Zhongguo's heart, so naturally he was not as excited and eager as Zhao Zhongguo.
Following Li Haiming, behind Zhao Zhongguo, he walked into Mr. Li's office. The office room is not large, which seems to be not much larger than Zhang Zetao's office, but the decoration grade belongs to two styles entirely.
Zhang Zetao's office can be said to be fashionable, while Li Lao's office is full of old-fashioned office supplies, and even some of the tables and chairs are a little mottled with paint.
With a slight turn of his eyes, Zhang Zetao saw Chinese Premier Li Luyuan lying on his desk correcting documents. The documents on the desk can be said to be piled up, which can prove that the prime minister really has a lot of work, and Li Lao doesn't seem to want to waste any minute or second.
"Prime Minister, Secretary Zhao and Mayor Zhang are here."
Li Haiming said softly beside Li Lao, as if he was afraid of disturbing the old man in front of him who had dedicated his life to Huaxia and worked hard for Huaxia's take-off.
"Oh, Comrade Zhao Zhongguo, Comrade Xiao Zhang, they are all here, hehe, sit down."
After approving the documents in his hand, Li Lao looked up at Zhao Zhongguo and Zhang Zetao, who were a little restrained, and opened his mouth with a smile, his tone was natural and cordial, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. If it weren't for Zhongnanhai, which represents the highest power in China, it would be hard to believe that the old man who is so kind and has no shelf will be one of the helmsmen of the highest power in China.
"Hello, Premier Lee".
Although Zhao Zhongguo said that he was a provincial and ministerial-level official, he was still restrained and respectful in front of Li Lao, and when he saw Li Lao looking at him, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully.
"Hello, Comrade Chungkook".
When Li Lao sat down, he didn't feel it, but when Li Lao got up, Zhang Zetao suddenly felt a calm momentum like a mountain rushing towards him.
Although Li Lao behaved very kindly, the momentum he had cultivated for a long time had also become a part of his body.
"Hello, Premier Lee".
Seeing Premier Li, who had shaken hands with Zhao Zhongguo, and looked at himself, Zhang Zetao hurriedly spoke, looking vaguely at Premier Huaxia who had been seen on TV in front of him, but had no chance to meet.
"Hehe, Comrade Xiao Zhang, hello, I've admired the name for a long time."
Taking the initiative to shake Zhang Zetao's hand, Premier Li's eyes were blazing, and he couldn't stop looking at Zhang Zetao, and there was no secret of curiosity in his eyes.
From the economic acumen of the mayor of a small town in Shanxi Province, to the sight of Li Lao, to the key figures in the relocation of Langsheng Pharmaceutical Company, to the grandchildren of the Ma family, until now the forefront of China's anti-crime and officialdom purge, all this makes Li Lao can't help but be curious about Zhang Zetao.
"Amount".
Li Lao's words made Zhang Zetao's face stunned, but he reacted instantly, this is not the place where he is stunned.
"Prime Minister, the kid has a lot of shortcomings, please criticize and correct it."
In the face of Li Lao, Zhang Zetao did not dare to support him, although he had an official and business system, but for Li Lao, Zhang Zetao did not dare to probe rashly, not to mention that the official and commercial system had a negligible failure rate, even Zhang Zetao's heart, and he did not want to desecrate the old man in front of him who was dedicated to the country.
"Hehe, it's humble. Comrade Xiao Zhang, I have been paying attention to you, and to be able to develop a provincial-level poor town into a well-known and wealthy town throughout the country, this requires real skills, and it is not something that ordinary people can do."
Hearing Li Lao's words, Zhao Zhongguo's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Zetao vaguely, and secretly sighed at Zhang Zetao's good luck. However, thinking of Zhang Zetao's performance in Jishan Province, Zhao Zhongguo was shocked, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat on his forehead.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, I heard that you are still a disciple of Professor Lai Yide, and you are really a strong general, and there are no weak soldiers under him."
"Prime Minister, you have won the award, I did study economics with Professor Lai for two years, but I dare not call myself Professor Lai's disciple."
Zhang Zetao undoubtedly respects Lai Yide, but he does not dare to call himself a disciple of Lai Yide, for fear of falling into the reputation of Professor Lai Yide.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhang, you are too humble, Lao Lai can have a disciple like you, which is enough for him to be proud."
Lai Yide, Li Lao can be said to be more familiar than Zhang Zetao, presiding over the work of the national government, the economy is naturally the top priority, Lai Yide, the economic master, has naturally become a frequent visitor to the State Council symposium, and Li Lao and Professor Lai in these two fields of Taishan Beidou have met more times, and over time they have become familiar with each other, and even become friends.
Listening to Li Lao's repeated praises, Zhang Zetao's face couldn't help but turn red, and he felt ashamed, but fortunately, Li Lao didn't embarrass him anymore, but turned his head to look at Zhao Zhongguo.
"Come, Comrade Zhongguo, Comrade Xiao Zhang, don't stand, let's all sit."
Li Lao was the first to sit on the hospitality sofa, a little casual, as if it was also to loosen his muscles. Zhao Zhongguo hesitated slightly, sat down under Li Lao in a decent manner, and saw that Li Lao and Zhao Zhongguo were all seated, Zhang Zetao took two steps slightly, sat next to Zhao Zhongguo, straightened his waist, and sat in a very upright posture.
His eyes swept over Zhao Zhongguo and Zhang Zetao, especially seeing Zhang Zetao's performance, Li Lao's face couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
Li Haiming personally served tea to Li Lao and the three of them, and after hesitating for a moment, he waved away the other staff in the office and gently closed the door of Li Lao's office.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, be casual, don't be so restrained."
Seeing that Zhang Zetao had been sitting upright, Li Lao took a sip of tea and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Yes, Prime Minister".
Hearing Li Lao's words, Zhang Zetao relaxed slightly, but his sitting posture was still upright. Before coming, Zhang Zetao always thought that Zhao Zhongguo was the protagonist today, but when he entered the prime minister's office, Zhang Zetao found that Li Lao's eyes seemed to be focused on himself, which made Zhang Zetao's heart tighten, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous at will.
Although Li Lao is kind, he can't deny Li Lao's identity, Li Lao can let Zhang Zetao be free, but Zhang Zetao can't really be casual.
Seeing Zhang Zetao's performance in his eyes, Li Lao didn't say anything more, but there was a touch of appreciation in the depths of his eyes.
There are not many officialdoms like Zhang Zetao now, trading power and money, leaving and right, and repeatedly prohibiting, which is why Li Lao took advantage of the news of Anding City to launch a nationwide anti-gang and evil-eradication and officialdom purge action. Because the current officialdom, the current officials, after having power, seem to have forgotten their identity and are servants of the people, not servants.
