As soon as Liu Dake walked out of Wu Can's room, he hurriedly turned on his mobile phone, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, half an hour ago, Hu Fan had called him. Liu Dake thought to himself: It seems that Hu Fan has arrived at the department. Looking at the watch on my wrist again, the hour hand points to four o'clock, and it is almost the time to get off work. Liu Dake looked up, and the courtyard was empty. Liu Dake seemed to remember something, looked back at Wu Can's room, Wu Can was looking at himself through the glass window, and made a flying kiss to Liu Dake, Liu Dake smiled knowingly.

The No. 2 office building is very close to the office, and Liu Dake decided to walk back to the office and take a walk to exercise, mainly because he didn't want the driver to know that he had spent all afternoon in Wu Can's room.

Liu Dake had just approached the office, and the door was already full of the main responsible comrades of various departments who came to report on the work. Liu Dake smiled and said, "Is it easy to be a leader?" I have just returned from a meeting in the province, and there are urgent matters to be dealt with, if you have urgent matters, just wait; If you're not in a hurry, I'll come back early tomorrow morning to report, or put the materials at the confidential secretary, okay? "How many of the organs are on fire and the children fall into the well, the leaders who came to report the work heard that Liu Dake had more urgent matters to deal with, and after greeting Liu Dake respectively, they dispersed with interest. Liu Dake then said to the confidential secretary: "You call the little nonsense from the personnel department." ”

After a long time, Hu Fan hurriedly walked into Liu Dake's office with a notebook, came to Liu Dake's face, lowered his head, and said: "I will come to your office as soon as I return to the department, and I will call you when I hear the secretary say that you are not in the office,......。 Hu Fan looked up at Liu Dake, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"Oh. I had an afternoon meeting in the province, and I just returned to the department, how are your Director Liang's parents okay? Is there a problem that needs to be organized to help with coordination? Liu Dake still sat on the sofa facing the door of the room as usual and smiled.

Hu Fan glanced up at Liu Dake, there seemed to be something unspeakable in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer, and at this moment Liu Dake's mobile phone rang. Liu Dake didn't rush to answer the phone, but first glanced at the caller number, and then said to Hu Fan with a smile: "I'll answer the phone first." When Hu Fan saw Liu Dake answering the phone, he stood up with interest and deliberately stayed away from Liu Dake. Liu Dake seemed to see Hu Fan's thoughts, and did not shy away from Hu Fan, but motioned for Hu Fan to continue sitting, and then connected the phone.

The call was from Professor Zhou of the Academy of Arts, Professor Zhou was fine at night, and wanted to invite Liu Dake to sit together. Liu Dake said: "Yes, let's go to Haitian Mansion at night." ”

Professor Zhou said: "Now that the "four winds" are so tight, you still dare to go to Haitian Tower."

Liu Dake said again: "Where do you say to go?" ”

Professor Zhou said: "I heard that your internal guest house is well decorated, but you haven't invited me yet." ”

What kind of person is Liu Dake, when he heard that Professor Zhou wanted to go to the "No. 2 Office Building" at night, he immediately remembered Wu Can, and he must have discussed it in advance. He said: "A well-known professor in the province, a senior intellectual, a recipient of special allowances from the provincial government, is it appropriate for a person of such status as you to eat in our broken restaurant?" ”

Professor Zhou knew that Liu Dake was joking with himself, so he said, "Forget it, Director Liu." You think my status is low, you don't want to invite me to your internal reception point for dinner, and then find a reason. ”

Liu Da could see that Professor Zhou had misunderstood him, so he smiled and said: "We have been old friends for many years, you still don't know my character, you can see what you said." ”

Maybe because he is an old friend, Professor Zhou is still joking with Liu Dake, and said: "It's you who see the outside, the leaders of the province often come to you to order dinner, why is it my turn to pay attention to my identity." Could it be that my status is higher than that of the provincial leaders? ”

Liu Dake knew Professor Zhou, and knew that once the chat was difficult to end in a short time, and he still had urgent matters to deal with, Liu Dake also wanted to learn calligraphy skills with Professor Zhou, so he agreed to it.

Just about to hang up the phone, Liu Dake seemed to think of something again, and asked again: "Who else are you there to participate?" Professor Zhou said, he is alone. Liu Dake asked Professor Zhou again: Do you send a car to pick it up? As a result, Professor Zhou refused.

After talking to Professor Zhou, Liu Dake first signaled Hu Fan to wait, and then dialed Wu Can's mobile phone. Liu Dake told Wu Can that there were guests coming over for dinner tonight, and asked Wu Can to prepare the studio. Wu Can asked, how many people are eating. Liu Dake said without thinking, four or five people. Wu Can asked again, is it still in "Room 5"?

"Room No. 5" is a special room for Liu Dake to receive guests as the head of the hall, and he is usually not arranged to use it even if he is idle. Liu Dake didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile: "What room do you want to change to?" Wu Can didn't say anything more. Liu Dake couldn't help but smile after buttoning the phone, thinking: Still fooling me, I must have told Professor Zhou about today's painting, Professor Zhou came to see Wu Can's new paintings, and then stayed for dinner and let me pay the bill, otherwise, why did Wu Can keep asking who attended the dinner?

Liu Dake glanced at Hu Fan and asked Hu Fan to continue to report what he learned about going to Liang Haixing's hometown.

Hu Fan looked at the record book and said: "Before I went, I bought something, considered the living habits of the locals, bought ten catties of eggs, a small carton of milk, and a bucket of peanut oil, which cost about two hundred yuan, less than three hundred." The road was relatively smooth, about 11 o'clock was almost there, seeing that the time was still early, I and the driver had something to eat in the high-speed service area. When we arrived at Director Liang's parents' house, Director Liang's parents had just returned home from working in the fields, and when we heard that it was Director Liu, you made a special trip to let us visit the two old people. Director Liang's parents were very excited, first stunned, and then said, we have always been in good health, why did we suddenly come to visit, did someone say the wrong thing? I also felt that Director Liang's parents were in good health, and I felt that there was a difference between the situation and the situation we judged in advance, so I said, "Good health, we are also passing by, and by the way, we came to visit the two old people." The two old men were very kind and wanted to leave us for dinner, but we said that we had already eaten, and left the things for the two old men, and left Director Liang's hometown with a little greeting. That's all for the basics. ”

Liu Dake listened quietly and nodded incessantly. After Hu Fan's report, Liu Dake seemed to be very satisfied with Hu Fan's performance and the report, so he smiled and said, "Very good." However, Xiaohu will remember in the future, don't just play my banner? ”

"yes, start ......." Hu Fan seemed to have unspeakable words in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it, so he kept looking at Liu Dake. Liu Dake saw Hu Fan's thoughts, so he smiled slightly and signaled Hu Fan not to have any concerns. Hu Fan was greatly encouraged, and muttered: "At the beginning, our situation was not accurate, and when I saw Director Liang's father driving an electric tricycle to pull Director Liang's mother home from working in the field, I felt that it was a little reckless for us to come to see the two old men. I was afraid of causing misunderstanding between the two old men, so I changed my story and said that I was passing by. Hu Fan glanced at Liu Dake and thought: Saying that Liang Haixing's parents are not in good health, let me go to see it, it is not your Liu Dake's idea. People have always been in good health, but they suddenly went to visit others with things, what do the old people think, isn't this a curse?

Liu Dake didn't say anything more, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was thinking about something. Later, Liu Dake said: "That's all? ”

Hu Fan nodded.

"What the hell does Xiao Liang want to do?" Liu Dake seemed to be talking to himself. Hu Fan didn't know what Liu Dake was thinking at this time, so he didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Liu Dake and lowered his head to prepare for the record.

Suddenly, Liu Dake seemed to remember something, looked at Hu Fan and smiled: "How is your father lately?" How's the business? ”

Hearing that Liu Dake cared about his father and no longer knew about the situation of visiting Liang Haixing's parents, Hu Fan relaxed for a while, straightened up and said, "He's very good, he mentioned you a few days ago, saying that he was free to see you." ”

"Haha. Xiaohu, you may not know that your father and I have been old friends for many years. We knew each other when you were very young. Take some time, I'll go see your father, and I'll meet old friends. Liu Dake stood up as he spoke, and Hu Fan also hurriedly stood up, looked at Liu Dake and said, "Director Liu, I'll go back to the office first?" ”

Liu Dake didn't answer directly, came to Hu Fan's side with a smile, and said with a smile: "In terms of seniority, it is also in my heart, you are my eldest nephew." When I was still the deputy director of the department, your father asked me for help and asked me to transfer you to the department and then to the personnel department. Later, when I became the director of the department, your father proposed that you should move your position, and in order to promote you to deputy director, I used a lot of brains, and I don't know how many brain cells were exhausted. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Liu Da could see that Hu Fan didn't understand his thoughts at this time, so he waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, don't thank me." Actually, I also have my considerations, going into battle with fathers and sons, fighting tigers still depends on brothers, especially in today's society, right? Liu Dake looked at Hu Fan and smiled slightly. Hu Fan nodded in understanding and said, "Uncle Liu, I understand." ”

As if Hu Fan standing in front of him was a newcomer, very unfamiliar, Liu Dake first looked at Hu Fan, and then gently patted Hu Fan's shoulder, and said: "Young man, do a good job, you see that your father is so good as an entrepreneur, you also have to fight." Also, don't patronize work, some things ......, right? Liu Dake nodded. Hu Fan seemed to feel something, and nodded as well.

"Uncle Liu, I'm leaving?" Hu Fan said and wanted to walk outside the door of Liu Dake's office. Behind him, Liu Dake's voice came: "It's so late, let's go out for a meal together." Five minutes later, you're downstairs. ”

Hu Fan didn't answer, standing in place, as if he had something on his mind. Liu Dake was puzzled, so he looked at Hu Fan with puzzled eyes. Hu Fan said: "There are still a lot of materials on my desk that I haven't had time to deal with, and I want to clean up before I go." Hu Fan was worried about causing Liu Dake to misunderstand, so he explained: "If it's convenient, Director Liu, tell me where you are, and I'll try to rush over as soon as possible so that it won't affect everyone's meal." ”

Liu Dake seemed to see Hu Fan's thoughts: he didn't want to take a car with him. Ride in the same car with the director to eat, so that other cadres can see that the impact is not good. Liu Da laughed and said: "What can't I tell you, I called you to eat with me." I have a friend from the art school who wants to visit our 'Office Building No. 2', and I want to keep him for dinner, they are all old friends. It's so late, and you've had a hard day, so you want to go to dinner together and make new friends. ”

"Okay. I'll hold on. ”

Liu Dake seemed to think of something again, and said, "You don't have to be too anxious, I'll go and chat with him first." ”

After Liu Dake finished speaking, he sat at the desk again, first picked up the pen and practiced calligraphy for a while, and seemed to feel a little tired, so he sat at the desk, tasted tea, and unconsciously remembered Hu Fan's father.
