The emperor is not a hungry soldier, as long as he is a human being, he still has to live by eating; It's just that things didn't go well, and when he went downstairs, only Xu Tao glanced vaguely at Secretary Liu, who was curious, and the other party immediately understood and understood that the matter of the National Development and Reform Commission was not done this morning, and it was not smooth.

Secretary Liu hurriedly said, "Secretary Lai, shall we go back now?" ”

"Back! But I won't go back to the hotel, just find a place to have two bites of food nearby, and come back in the afternoon! ”

"Okay!"

The lunch of Haihua Hotel is in the form of a buffet, even if a few people do not go, there will be no waste, Secretary Liu sat in the car and made a phone call to cancel the lunch at noon... At the gate of the provincial government, naturally there will be no small stalls and hawkers to sell lunch, and after driving two or three kilometers, Secretary Liu took the initiative to turn his head to look at Lai Guoqin and asked, "Secretary Lai, why don't we have a simple meal here?" ”

"Hmmm! Working meals, just eat a little bit, you can eat as much as you want after the thing is done, now everything is simple! ”

"Okay!"

What to eat, Xu Tao doesn't care too much... Man! The delicacies of the mountains and the sea are also a meal, and a bowl of instant noodles is also a meal, and most people are not very picky eaters!

However, when Xu Tao got out of the car, he looked at the signboard at the door of the small restaurant and was happy, only to see that the somewhat old signboard read "Shunli Restaurant".

Lai Guoqin also saw it, but she didn't say anything.

With Secretary Liu and the driver, a total of four people entered the restaurant for dinner. Before Xu Tao sat down, he saw a lot of "acquaintances", without exception, they were all acquaintances he had just seen in the corridor of the National Development and Reform Commission. ”

The waiter smiled and continued: "This name was changed by our boss at the suggestion of a leader who doesn't know where it came from!" ”

"Originally, we were called Farmhouse Restaurant, but now we have changed our name to Shunli Restaurant. It's because our main guests, all of whom are big leaders from various places like you, can come to us for dinner, and if you want to come, you will go to the provincial government to do business! ”

"This name is Shunli Restaurant, and I hope that all the leaders will do things smoothly!"

"Shhhh Hearing the waiter say this, the original conjecture in Xu Tao's heart was confirmed.

I have to say that the owner of this small restaurant does have some great wisdom... If you are not a cadre, you must not believe in some mysterious superstitious sayings, not to mention that there is no inevitable logical relationship between a meal in a smooth restaurant and whether things can be done smoothly as a connection, and it can only be said that I like to listen to auspicious words more.

But Xu Tao knows. I'm afraid that the boss also knows that nine times out of ten people who come to eat at the smooth restaurant are "not going well", after all, if things go well... Then the meal should be placed in those high-end hotels and restaurants in Yuncheng, rather than a light meal in such a small restaurant.

Lai Guoqin frowned and asked, "Your boss is good at doing business!" ”

"Hey, hey! You are a leader, and our business depends on a big leader like you to take care of it? I don't know.. The leaders are ready to eat something, although the store is a small point, but the north and south cuisines in Changnan Province are a little bit clear, if there is no on the menu, you say the name I will go to the back kitchen to ask! "The quality of the waiters is very high, and it is obvious that it is not the first time to face Lai Guoqin's words.

Xu Tao turned his face to look at Lai Guoqin and said, "Secretary, what do you eat?" ”

"Anything, let's hurry up and finish eating.. There are still afternoon things to do in the afternoon! ”

"Good!"

..

It didn't take long for four of the same rice bowl to be served by the waiter: "Leaders, your meals are ready... The chopsticks are right next to it, if you want to drink hot water, you have to do it yourself, and the water dispenser is right next to it! ”

"Hmm!" Xu Tao sent the waiter away and distributed the chopsticks to everyone.

Secretary Liu also poured tea for Lai Guoqin early, and then said, "Secretary Lai, are things not going well today?" ”

"Don't mention it!"

Although there are many dining guests next to him, Lai Guoqin also recognizes it. These people are also "familiar faces", so they don't shy away from saying: "I haven't even seen the face, and I have to go again in the afternoon!" ”

"Huh? The leaders of the provincial party committee agreed, shouldn't this matter be done quickly? ”

"One yard to one yard, let's eat first!"

The brief conversation between Secretary Liu and Lai Guoqin was heard by the middle-aged man he had seen before. I saw the man put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, moved a chair and came over, and asked with some curiosity: "Leaders, I just heard... Has the leaders of the provincial party committee agreed to your project? ”

"yes.." Lai Guoqin casually agreed.

"There aren't many outsiders here, so it's convenient to reveal, which leader of the provincial party committee agreed?" The middle-aged man's words made Lai Guoqin frown, and asked rhetorically: "What?" What's so important about this? ”

"Of course! I am our cadre who is specifically responsible for running the approval and project approval procedures, and I dare not say anything else. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission has come no less than a hundred times, and various departments have also run a lot, if you can say. I'll be able to tell you the doorway."

"Oh?" Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Lai Guoqin's face also showed an expression of interest, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand. continued: "It's Secretary Cui of the provincial party committee, what's the matter? ”

"Huh?"

"Secretary Cui?"

As soon as the man heard Cui Ming's name in Lai Guoqin's mouth, he immediately showed an indescribable expression. He said, "You... If this is really a project that Secretary Cui agrees to, then I think. Why don't you find other leaders and wait for the implementation of the matter before you come to the NDRC to go through the formalities? ”

"Why?" Lai Guoqin obviously didn't understand what the middle-aged man said, but Xu Tao on the side smacked the taste and heard a little sign.

"You probably don't know.."

"It's true that the provincial party committee is in charge of the provincial government, and the provincial government is in charge of the development and Reform Commission, but the leadership and the leadership are different before... If any leader of the provincial government nods and agrees, then the procedures of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will be handled quickly, and if Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee or any other member of the Standing Committee agrees, it will be done quickly! ”

"But it's this Secretary Cui... It's hard to do! ”

"And that said?"

The middle-aged man looked left and right, and whispered: "This is nothing to do at noon, I see that you are also in a hurry, chatting a few words, and giving you a wake-up.. Don't waste time! ”

"This Secretary Cui, he nods his head whenever he comes, but he nods his head, but he doesn't say hello to the following! The leader doesn't say hello, and the cadres below who cares who you are and who give you the agreed project will all call you back and re-prepare the materials. ”

"Come and go, this thing is not yellow! Not to mention going well.."
