Chapter three hundred and fortieth
Chapter 340: Arrogant at first and respectful at the end
Director Li complained secretly in his heart, so he had to secretly come out and call Liu Junkang and ask Mayor Zhao where he had been. Liu Junkang whispered: "I have already gone upstairs, I'll be here soon."
Director Li received the accurate letter and hurried back to the private room and said to Director Luo: "Mayor Zhao is in the elevator and will arrive soon."
Director Luo snorted without saying anything. Director Li looked at Director Luo's face and sighed slightly in his heart. What happened to Mayor Zhao this time? He agreed to come but was late again. Director Luo was not interested in Taipei City. It seems that there is no chance this time!
Just as he was thinking, the waiter had already opened the door of the box, Zhao Changfeng smiled and let someone in. Director Li's eyes were sharp-eyed, and he suddenly realized that this person was Director Zhang Hongxin of the General Office of the Provincial Government. When he was inspecting work in Taipei City last time, Director Li was scolded by Zhang Hongxin. Naturally, he was deeply impressed by the Director of the General Office of the Provincial Government, who held the power.
Director Luo heard the door ringing and knew that it was Mayor Zhao from Miaobei City coming. He was angry that Zhao Changfeng did not give him face, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it. His eyes were facing down, and he didn't even look at the door, sitting as steady as Mount Tai.
Zhang Hongxin followed Zhao Changfeng into the private room. When he saw Director Luo sitting there in a big manner, he didn't look up and was angry and was about to speak. Zhao Changfeng touched him gently and said first: "Director Luo, hello, hello, I have been waiting for a long time!" He stepped to the table and extended his hands enthusiastically.
Director Luo didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the teacup and took a sip, ignored Zhao Changfeng's hands that came out, deliberately pretending to be confused, turned his head and asked Director Li, "Director Li, who is this?"
Director Li was already confident when he saw Zhang Hongxin appearing. At this time, when Director Luo was still pretending to be stupid and obedient, he was secretly amused, but he became more and more respectful: "Director Luo, this is our Mayor Zhao."
Director Luo then moved his eyes to Zhao Changfeng's face and suddenly realized, "Is Mayor Zhao? Is it lucky to know." As he said this, his body sat in place without moving, but he just raised his hand and put it on Zhao Changfeng's hand.
Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "Director Luo, I'm afraid you won't have a good time tonight, so I invited another friend to accompany you. To introduce you, this is Director Zhang." Zhao Changfeng deliberately introduced it ambiguously.
Director Zhang Li, it doesn’t work if anyone comes over! Director Luo heard that Zhao Changfeng went to invite Director Zhang to come over in person, and felt more and more annoyed in his heart, feeling that he was not respected. He sat there and still said, "Director Zhang, I’m lucky to be lucky." Then he turned his eyes to Zhang Hongxin’s face.
"Ah, Zhang, Director Zhang?" Director Luo was startled. He didn't expect that he was Zhang Hongxin, deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Government. Zhang Hongxin is a celebrity in front of Boss Wu. Even the director had to act according to Zhang Hongxin's expression, let alone him, a small director of the Finance Department? Director Luo stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and he stretched out his hands and said, "Director Zhang, why are you here? I won't give me a call, so I can go over and pick you up."
Zhang Hongxin just saw Director Luo's face and felt disgusted. However, he was extremely cunning and naturally would not show it. He just said lightly: "How dare you work Director Luo? Just have Brother Zhao pick me up." As he said that, he patted Zhao Changfeng's shoulder intimately.
Director Luo vaguely heard that Zhang Hongxin and Tao Xiangqiang, deputy director of the Environmental Monitoring Station, suffered losses in Beijing. He originally thought that Zhang Hongxin must have hated the cadres in Beijing, but he did not expect that Zhang Hongxin and Mayor Zhao of Beijing were so close, and he had reached the point of calling him brothers. He secretly complained in his heart. If he had known that Zhang Hongxin had such a good relationship with Mayor Zhao, he would not dare to act like this no matter what.
However, Director Luo has also been in the agency for a long time, so he naturally would not care about the embarrassment in front of him. He immediately changed into a warm smile and said, "Director Li, you have hidden it so hard! Your Mayor Zhao and Director Zhang are so strong, but you don't tell me that you must be fined three drinks later!" As he said that, he quickly moved the main position away and said to Zhang Hongxin, "Director Zhang, come, please sit down." Although Zhang Hongxin is the deputy director of the Sixth General Department, he is at the same level as Director Luo. Director Luo is the Director of the Accounting and Finance Department. Although he is the hottest department-level cadre in the Environmental Protection Bureau, he is far behind Zhang Hongxin, a celebrity next to Vice Governor Wu Weiping. When Zhang Hongxin was present, Director Luo naturally did not dare to sit in the main position again.
Zhang Hongxin said lightly: "Director Luo, why are you polite? Today, Brother Zhao is treating you. You are the host and guest, so you will naturally have to sit in this position."
How dare Director Luo call himself great in front of Zhang Hongxin? He wanted to force Zhang Hongxin to sit in the home and guest seat, but he didn't have the courage, so he had to beg for mercy and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Mayor Zhao, look..."
Zhao Changfeng was about ten years younger than Director Luo. When he heard that Director Luo actually used the title of honor, he was really embarrassed to make Director Luo embarrassed. Besides, the matter still needs to be solved by Director Luo, so he didn't care much about himself. He reached out to pull Zhang Hongxin and said, "Brother Zhang, since Director Luo is so humble, don't be polite." As he said that, he pressed Zhang Hongxin to the host and guest seats.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Changfeng took out a box of Soft China from his handbag and started to make cigarettes, and then placed a box in front of Zhang Hongxin and Director Luo. Zhao Changfeng took out the lighter and leaned over to light cigarettes for Director Luo. Director Luo still wanted to give in. Zhao Changfeng insisted on refusing and must light it for him. Director Luo secretly looked at Zhang Hongxin and saw that he was lowering his head to drink tea, but he seemed to have no displeasure. Then, Zhao Changfeng lit the cigarettes in Zhao Changfeng's fire.
Zhao Changfeng put away the lighter, suddenly mumbled and stared at Director Luo for a long time. Director Luo was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhao Changfeng was looking at. Zhao Changfeng suddenly said excitedly: "Director Luo, Luo Guangcai."
Director Luo nodded and said in a daze: "Mayor Zhao, yes, my name is Luo Guangcai."
Zhao Changfeng patted his head and said, "Director Luo, no wonder I think you look so familiar! In 1994, did you participate in poverty alleviation work for cadres in provincial government agencies?"
Director Luo nodded again and said, "Yes! I'm going to help the poor for a year!"
Zhao Changfeng laughed and said, "Director Luo, I said it! I was so familiar with you when I saw you. I also participated in the provincial poverty alleviation group, and we had dinner at the same table!" Zhao Changfeng's words were purely intrigue, in order to bring closer relationships with Director Luo. Zhang Hongxin was too cold just now, and now Zhao Changfeng brought the relationship closer, just giving Director Luo a step.
"Oh, yes, yes, Mayor Zhao, I remembered it too!" Director Luo is also a flexible person. Although he was still confused in his eyes, he pretended to be very familiar with Zhao Changfeng. "We both met three glasses in a row at that time! Mayor Zhao is so drunk!"
Having said that, everyone got into a group and started drinking naturally. There was a rule at the table, which was that it was irrelevant at the beginning; the three-point meaning of alcohol brought the topic; the six-point meaning of brothers and brothers; when it reached eight, you and I would not distinguish between you and me; when it was ten, you would have me and I would have you.
Zhao Changfeng raised his glass and said to Director Luo: "Director Luo, I will toast you a glass of wine. It has been six years since 1994 to now. It is fate to witness the style of Big Brother again! Big Brother, I will do it first!" As he said that, Zhao Changfeng raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.
Director Luo was also excited. He had always wanted to find a way to get close to Zhang Hongxin but couldn't get it. He didn't expect that today, he would sit at the same table with Zhang Hongxin for a pollution control project in Taipei City. He really wanted to thank the young mayor of Taipei City for his sake!
"It's fate!" Director Luo said with a smile: "Brother Zhao's style remains the same as before!" As he said that, he also drank the wine in one gulp.
Zhao Changfeng reached out and signaled the waiter to go over and fill up Director Luo. He watched the waiter fill up his wine glass and put it up. He said to Director Luo: "Director Luo, I came from Taipei City to the provincial capital this time. I hope the leaders of the provincial government will support it. Brother Luo, I will give you another cup."
Director Luo quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, don't joke about me. Director Zhang is the real leader. I am just like you, all the people below."
Zhao Changfeng stammered his neck and said, "Brother Luo, you and Director Zhang are both in provincial government agencies. I am here, you both are my leaders! Come on, come on, drink!" Zhao Changfeng tilted his neck and drank the wine in his glass, watching Director Luo drink the wine as well.
Director Li looked at Zhao Changfeng from the side, and his eyes became more energetic, thinking that the cadres who were airborne in the province were different and had a good level.
Zhao Changfeng filled the third glass of wine and raised it to Director Luo and said, "Director Luo, this third glass of wine is to toast your support and concern for the pollution control project in Beicheng City. The Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau has always been very concerned about the environmental protection cause of Beicheng City. As the mayor of Beicheng City, I am very grateful. Today I will respect Director Zhao on behalf of the Beicheng City Government."
