Just when Hao Qingmei walked into Qin Mingshan's office, Song Lihai's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Geng Naijia's call, Song Lihai hurriedly walked a few steps, returned to the secretary's office, closed the door, and then answered her call.
As soon as the phone call came through, Geng Naijia said: "Old classmate, I have returned to the provincial capital. I have carried your gift all the way. I always feel that my colleagues can see the toys in my bag. I am home safely." .”
"By the way, Lin Haitao's secretary has come out. I thought about it. If you go see him at this time and treat him to a meal or something, you should be able to win his favor and trust. I wish you good luck." Geng Naijia finished. , without giving Song Lihai a chance to respond, he hung up the phone.
Song Lihai held the phone for a long time before putting it down. After all, he was a cadre in the provincial capital, so this was a good idea. When everyone was avoiding Xiao Chen, Song Lihai took the initiative to show his kindness. He would definitely be very grateful.
After thinking about this, Song Lihai called Xiao Chen. The phone rang several times before Xiao Chen answered the phone. Song Lihai immediately said: "Secretary Chen, I am Mayor Qin's secretary Song Lihai. I will make a reservation tonight. Let’s have a potluck together, okay?”
Xiao Chen had known for a long time that Song Lihai was Qin Mingshan's new secretary, and the two had not officially met. At this time, Song Lihai suddenly invited him to dinner, and he was suddenly confused.
Xiao Chen didn't speak for a while, and Song Lihai didn't press him, just waiting for his reply.
After a while, Xiao Chen said, "Okay, tell me after you book a seat, and I'll go there myself."
"Would you like me to drive to pick you up after get off work?" Song Lihai asked enthusiastically.
"This, this..." Xiao Chen and Song Lihai were not familiar with each other to a certain extent, not to mention that he had just been released by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and was suddenly invited by Qin Mingshan's secretary, which made him really panic.
"Brother Chen, we are both leadership secretaries. You are older than me, so I should pick you up. Besides, Wen Xianghai should be the head of the secretarial department in the future. Don't you want to know about your work arrangements? ?" Song Lihai smashed the big melon that Xiao Chen was most concerned about.
Sure enough, when Xiao Chen heard what Song Lihai said, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, thank you Secretary Song."
"Brother Chen, just call me Xiao Song. Let's not be so open-minded, right? In the evening, you and I will have dinner together. I will choose a quiet place. It's agreed that I will pick you up after get off work. "
"By the way, Brother Chen, we are meeting in private, as long as you and I know." After Song Lihai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Xiao Chen had been Lin Haitao's secretary for several years. Of course he understood what Song Lihai meant.
After putting down the phone, Xiao Chen wanted to call Lin Haitao several times, but after much hesitation, he still did not call Lin Haitao. Neither Lin Haitao nor He Weishan called him, including Hu Yibing. He made a phone call as if he had betrayed them when they were questioned by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Xiao Chen was very upset. He didn't know how he survived these days. He thought that if he came out, at least Hu Yibing would come home to see him. But except for Song Lihai, no one called him.
When Xiao Chen thought of this, he sighed, put away his phone, and waited for Song Lihai to pick him up.
After get off work, Song Lihai drove to Xiao Chen's community as expected. After picking him up, the two of them went to Xingxing Farmhouse in the suburbs.
What Song Lihai and Xiao Chen didn't expect was that their whereabouts would soon reach the ears of Lin Haitao and He Weishan. They couldn't sit still anymore and went directly to the place where Yu Guosheng rested.
After Song Lihai met Xiao Chen, he didn't drink with Xiao Chen because Song Lihai had to drive. However, he asked Xiao Chen for a two-ounce bottle of liquor. Halfway through the drink, Xiao Chen started to complain.
"Xiao Song, I went home from the hotel where the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection inquired in the morning. I sent a message to Boss Lin. I came out, but he hasn't responded to me yet."
"It's been a long day, and no one has called me to ask. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has not convicted me, and I haven't said anything. What happened to these people?"
"Xiao Song, tell me, will my job change next? Can I continue to work as a secretary with Boss Lin?"
"Should I apply for a job in the county? I always feel awkward and disconnected in the city." Xiao Chen regarded Song Lihai as a friend. After drinking, he naturally started to talk more.
Song Lihai thought of Geng Naijia's words and quickly took over Xiao Chen's words and said, "Brother Chen, if I were you, leaving Yinhai City at this time would be the best choice."
"You can find your boss. Even if you take a job in a township, it's better than staying in the city hall. At least it won't be embarrassing, right?"
"No matter what you said or didn't say at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, if you came out safely, many people will guess what you said in exchange for the opportunity to come out."
"Brother Chen, Youyouzhongkou, on top of this storm, what can you do to stop it?"
"And it's hard to say whether Boss Lin will trust you again. I think taking this opportunity to ask for work at the grassroots level is the best way."
"Brother Chen, of course, you have been a secretary to a big leader for so many years, and you are better than a novice like me in terms of experience and qualifications. My words are just my own thoughts. If I say something wrong, don't do it either. Take it to your heart." The more Song Lihai said these words so politely, the more comfortable he felt in Xiao Chen's heart.
"Xiao Song, brother, thank you, thank you. After I settle down, I will definitely take my brother down to have some fun. Don't be dissatisfied then, but you have to go down below to visit me, my old brother." Xiao Chen said. He held Song Lihai's hand and spoke excitedly. At this moment, his anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Come on, Brother Chen, let's use tea instead of wine. I wish you all the best when you get down." Song Lihai smiled and raised his cup.
Xiao Chen also quickly raised his cup, and the two cups collided together. The friendship between the two people also rose at this moment.
Song Lihai and Xiao Chen ate this meal for more than an hour. They talked about the personnel changes in the city government and Qin Mingshan's next steps to rectify his work style. They also talked about how Wen Xianghai would take over the secretarial department and how Hu Yibing would arrange it. Wait and see what happens.
By the time the two of them left the Xingxing Farmhouse, they had become a pair of brothers who were side by side. A man's friendship can be established with a glass of wine and a cigarette. This made Song Lihai even more grateful to Geng Naijia. Without her advice, he and Xiao Chen How could a revolutionary friendship be established so quickly?
Xiao Chen drank two ounces of white wine because he was happy. At this time, he was already walking a little giddy, relying entirely on Song Lihai to help him get into the second-hand car.
The sky was already so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, so Song Lihai drove towards the city.
Behind Song Lihai's car, an unmarked van quietly followed his car.
