Zhao Liang didn't answer, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and put it in front of Xu Tong. Xu Tong saw that Zhao Yi had misunderstood him, and hurriedly said, "I quit a long time ago." Then, he glanced at Boss Dong again. Boss Dong hurriedly came to Xu Tong's side. Xu Tongdao: "My classmate is alone in Mashan, and he is new to Mashan, and he is not familiar with Mashan, so you can get some food for my classmate." ”

"No problem, in addition to the dining table, I brought twenty Chinese cigarettes, four per person, the leader uses them first, when they run out, say hello, I will ask someone to send them at any time." Boss Dong said, and said to Zhao Liang: "The leader uses me to look down on the untouchables, and if there is something to order." ”

Xu Tong knew that Boss Dong was close to Zhao Liang again, and once he opened the chatterbox, it would be difficult to end it in a short time, so he said to Boss Dong: "It's okay, you go and get busy with yours, your position can't be empty for a long time." Boss Dong was just about to leave, Xu Tong seemed to think of something again, and said, "I quit, you give my share to my classmates." ”

Xu Tong glanced at Boss Dong's back, and then looked at Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang thought to himself: This Boss Dong is really thoughtful about the problem. Looking at Xu Tong's gaze, Zhao Liang smiled knowingly.

It has always been a thousand glasses of wine for confidants, and it is an old classmate reunion, so naturally you can't drink less, plus the city has just had a banquet, Zhao Liang is a little overwhelmed. Originally, there was a bathroom in the room, but Zhao Liang used the excuse to go to the toilet and walked out of the room, wanting to escape a few glasses of wine.

This seafood restaurant is indeed prosperous, although it is late at night, upstairs and downstairs, it is still full of people, very lively. Zhao Liang seemed to be very interested in this ordinary seafood restaurant, and slowly walked from upstairs to downstairs. Upstairs is a private room, and downstairs is a food stall. Compared with the quiet private rooms upstairs with closed doors, this food stall seems to be a different world, not to mention the noisy people, smoky and foul air. Zhao Liang came to the outside of the restaurant alone, wanting to breathe fresh air.

As soon as I walked out of the building, I saw a flickering light in the parking lot in front of me. Zhao Liang took a closer look, and the two male diners were smoking cigarettes, as if they were running away from drinking like Zhao Liang. The two smoked cigarettes and chatted. Zhao Liang had nothing to do, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it. Zhao Liang listened to two male diners talking about things in the city, so he paid special attention. A male diner said: "I heard that tonight, the city suddenly held a standing committee, and I don't know what happened to me?" Another male diner seemed to be very unimpressed, and said, "What does the city's standing committee have to do with you?" ”

"No, I think it's a bit sudden, there's nothing big going on in the city, right?"

"You are a businessman, but the sky is falling, what does it have to do with you?"

"Don't you understand, in case of major personnel adjustments in the city, won't my initial investment and ongoing projects be wasted?"

"It's the adjustment of the city's research cadres, don't you say it? You're a businessman, just make your money, and don't worry about that idleness. Let's go, let's go drinking, it's been a long time, and we'll have to be punished for drinking again. The diner said, pulling another diner up and walking towards the building.

Zhao Liang was the only one left smoking a cigarette in the wide parking lot, Zhao Liang felt bored, took a few deep puffs of cigarettes, and walked towards the building.

"Where did you go? Everybody's waiting for you to drink. Zhao Liang had just walked into the room, and Hong Taigang said. Looking at the strange eyes of his classmates, Zhao Liang smiled slightly and said, "I went to the bathroom." ”

"Isn't there a bathroom in the room, why are you going out, not to escape from drinking?" Xu Tongdao.

Zhao Liang smiled apologetically and said, "By the way, I went outside to breathe a few breaths of fresh air from Mashan." ”

Xu Zuocai glanced at Zhao Liang, seemed a little dissatisfied, and said, "I thought you went to see your lover?" But then I think about it, when you first arrived, you are not familiar with the road of Mashan, so it will not develop so fast, right? ”

As soon as Xu Zuocai's voice fell, Hong Taigang said: "You think that everyone else is like you, wearing clothes and looking like dogs, and when you take off your clothes, you become an animal that can stand." ”

"This proves that I am physically stronger than you. Anyway, you're not going to do it, it's useless. If you don't accept it, let's drink three glasses in a row per person? Xu Zuocai looked at Hong Taigang and said.

"Drink it, who is afraid of whom?"

Just when Xu Zuocai and Hong Taigang were fighting, Zhao Liang seemed to remember something, and looked at Xu Tong, who was whispering with Boss Dong. Xu Tong saw that Zhao Liang's eyes were a little puzzled, so he said, "What's the matter?" Zhao Liang said: "At the welcome banquet held by the Municipal Party Committee in the evening, Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor He suddenly left the table early, saying that there was an urgent matter. Just now, when I went out, I heard someone say that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was suddenly convened tonight today. ”

After hearing this, Xu Tong smiled slightly, and said disapprerovitically: "It's not normal for a city to have a certain situation." Grassroots work is different from the above-level step-by-step work, and the city leaders are very busy during the day, and often hold meetings at night to study the work. ”

Zhao Liang seemed to understand something and nodded. Xu Tong saw that Zhao Liang seemed to be very concerned about the matter of the municipal party committee holding an emergency meeting in the evening, so he turned to Boss Dong and said: "Jack-of-all-trades, I heard that an emergency meeting was suddenly held in the city tonight, do you know what happened in the city recently?" ”

Boss Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll call and ask." Boss Dong said and hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.

"Why do you care about Mashan? Do you really want to stay in Mashan? Xu Tongdao. Zhao Liang smiled slightly and did not answer. Xu Tong said: "What I said is true, if I have the opportunity to stay in Mashan, train at the grassroots level for two years, solve the problem first, and have the opportunity to return to the province and then promote in the future, there is a great hope." ”

"You mean to gild the grassroots level first to pave the way for the promotion back to the provincial hall?"

"You are engaged in personnel work, and you know the operation of your career better than me."

For Zhao Liang, he has his own considerations. Zhao Liang thought in his heart: Xu Tong's words are not unreasonable, and they are indeed a shortcut to progress. Zhao Liang has also planned many times in his heart, but he always feels that this matter is very sensitive, especially when he has just arrived in Mashan to help, once he lets his colleagues or the city know that he has such an idea, he will definitely leave the impression that he has other plans, which will cause a certain negative impact, and even backfire. Zhao Liang looked at Xu Tong's expectant gaze and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he smiled and said: "It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen, you can't force everything, everything is better to be natural." ”

Seeing that Zhao Liang did not fully accept his point of view and was a little perfunctory, Xu Tong continued to persuade him: "Regarding the situation of the Mashan Bureau, I think you know better than me. Xu Tong glanced at Zhao Liang, saw that Zhao Liang did not react, and continued: "At work, I don't have much contact with your Mashan Bureau, but after all, Mashan is such a big place, what is the situation of which bureau, especially a little problem, it quickly spread." The team is not united, the food is not eaten, and the quarrel is caused by the meeting, which makes the city also have a headache. You come to work in Mashan, you have a better understanding of the situation in Mashan, and you will be the best candidate if the Mashan Bureau is really adjusted in the future. In addition, in Mashan, the students have become the backbone of their respective departments, and you have really become the leader of your Mashan Bureau, which classmate will not really support you? The external environment is definitely stronger than the current Lao Lu, and with the support of the provincial department, the situation will soon change, and the results will be logical. The natural future is certainly much stronger than if you were in the provincial hall. ”

Zhao Liang has his own plan, and he doesn't seem to care about it on the surface, but he has been listening quietly. Every word Xu Tong said, Zhao Liang remembered it deeply. Zhao Liang wanted to know more about the situation of the Mashan Bureau, and seemed to feel that the time was not yet ripe, or it was not an occasion, so he kept smiling all the time.

Xu Tong wanted to speak, but Boss Dong walked in happily with his mobile phone, holding two bottles of French Grand Lafite in his hands, and said happily: "Let's change to a red bar and get a little more grade." ”

"I let you know what's going on in the city, why did you go drinking?" Xu Tong looked at Boss Dong and blamed.

"Drink the white wine and change it to the red wine." Boss Dong didn't seem to hear what Xu Tong said, and was filling up wine for each guest. Xu Tong shook his head helplessly, looked at Zhao Liang and said, "This kid doesn't know what good news he has got, it seems that he has been beaten with chicken blood." Zhao Liang smiled slightly, looked at the busy Boss Dong and said, "Boss Dong, are you Director Xu talking to you?" ”

After pouring the red wine, Boss Dong seemed to understand, looked at Xu Tongtong, and said, "This glass of wine is my toast to everyone, I will do it first, and then report to Lord Xu." Boss Dong said, draining a large glass of red wine.

"This kid, must he be rich again?" Xu Tong looked at Boss Dong and said. Unlike Xu Tong, Zhao Liang's gaze was a little puzzled.

"Something happened in front of the mountain." Boss Dong just sat down beside Xu Tong and said.

"What's going on in front of the mountain?" Xu Tong looked at Boss Dong with a confused gaze.

"It's not about those small coal mines." Boss Dong said.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Tong looked a little anxious.

Boss Dong took a sip of tea and said, "For some reason, there is a coal mine in Qianshan, and a water penetration accident suddenly occurred, and dozens of workers were trapped underground, and Secretary Zhou was very angry. I heard that there was a big fire, and I asked to save people first, and then, several other small coal mines were all shut down. ”

Xu Tong nodded, as if he remembered something again, and said, "It's just such a thing, you took so long to find out." ”

"Hey, hey." Boss Dong smiled slightly, his eyes a little sly.

"It's a long story." Boss Dong said.

"Then you just take your time." Xu Tong took a sip of food and didn't raise his head.

Boss Dong saw that Xu Tong was very concerned, so he said, "Here's the thing. Don't I also have a coke plant? I used to work in the coal mine in Qianshan, and I have a good relationship with the boss there. Besides, my coke plant is built near Qianshan, so I've been using coal from Qianshan. Recently, the coal business has not been very good, and several out-of-town customers have been contacting us to let us in their coal, and they have been living in my guest house all day, grinding hard and soaking ....... ”
