"How can I forget?" Xu Lang said: "This is a normal dinner party. Secretary Zhang's purpose is to get your support. You did a good job."
Yao Min sighed softly, and was about to say something resentful when Xu Lang suddenly said: "I heard... Director Lin from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee will talk to you in the next few days."
Yao Min was not very happy when he heard the news: "I know, Secretary Zhang told me yesterday."
Xu Lang touched his chin and said, "I'm about to be promoted. Why don't you feel happy?"
"Why am I happy?" Yao Min couldn't get rid of the sullen feeling in her heart: "The mayor also revealed this to me yesterday. I was very happy at the time, but Secretary Zhang told me again that I felt that he promoted I had intentions.”
Xu Lang understood that Qiu Mingyue promoted Yao Min to replace Liu Jian as deputy mayor. Yao Min was very grateful. What's more, Zhang Fengnian also supported this proposal. This was a rare consensus among the first and second leaders.
Only Yao Min knew this best. The reason why Zhang Fengnian promoted her so readily was actually because he was greedy for her body. After a few days, Yao Min would probably take it back from her after the physical inconvenience he mentioned became more convenient. His reward.
This was also the reason why Yao Min was unhappy. What made her even more aggrieved was that Xu Lang seemed to be rejecting her wishes, which made her even more uncomfortable.
Xu Lang smiled and asked: "Then what do you want me to do to make you happy?"
Yao Min immediately said: "Invite me to dinner tonight."
"Is it that simple?" Xu Lang couldn't believe it.
Yao Min said: "Yes, it's that simple. Also, you have to accompany me to a place after dinner."
Xu Lang asked curiously: "Where to go?"
Yao Min said slyly: "I won't tell you yet. If you don't agree, I will not be the deputy mayor and continue to be my district mayor."
Xu Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you act like a child?"
Yao Min said: "I'm like a child. What's wrong?"
"Okay, okay." Xu Lang was helpless, but he couldn't agree to her at the moment, so he had to say: "But I don't know if I have anything to do tonight. Can I call you when I get off work in the afternoon?"
Yao Min also understood the nature of Xu Lang's work, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
Xu Lang said: "Then you can repeat to me what Xiao Jian said yesterday when he had dinner with me. I will receive him later."
"good."
Yao Min told the story of yesterday's meal without reservation. Xu Lang had a plan in his mind and the reception was much more relaxed.
Xiao Jian did not come alone, but also brought a team. It is indeed fair to say that it was an inspection.
However, when he saw that only Xu Lang, the young secretary-general, was there to receive him, he felt very unhappy. He sat down and had a few casual words with Xu Lang, which ended in less than half an hour.
Xu Lang naturally wanted it. After the meeting was over and the person was sent away, he asked the secretarial department to compile the contents into a report and give it to Qiu Mingyue.
Xu Lang had lunch with Zhao Shuang.
The two of them didn't go far, so they just had a steak at a Western restaurant diagonally opposite the government office.
After sitting down, Xu Lang asked: "Shuangzi, is that person looking for you?"
"He found it." Zhao Shuang whispered: "He means he wants me to be a spy. Are you angry?"
"What?" Xu Lang was shocked: "A spy?"
Zhao Shuang said: "Yes, you can also call me an undercover agent, that is, you bribe me to spy on the mayor's privacy, and tell him immediately when you find out!"
"I'll go!" Xu Lang was very surprised: "Is this guy a peeping tom?"
Zhao Shuang said: "Not only this, but also during the meeting, the mayor should tell him any policies or other things. In short, he wants to know everything about the mayor."
Xu Lang asked: "Then how did you reply to him?"
"I agreed." Zhao Shuang said, "Didn't you tell me to agree? My father's illness cannot be delayed."
Xu Lang asked hurriedly: "Did you get the money?"
Zhao Shuang smiled and said: "I got it, and it has been handed over to the hospital."
"Okay." Xu Lang said, "Don't worry about the next thing."
Zhao Shuang asked in shock: "Can you really do it?"
"Of course." Xu Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Zhao Shuang bit her lips, twisted slightly and asked softly: "Brother, you, you really can't give me a chance?"
"What chance?" Xu Lang pretended to be stupid: "Give you a chance to treat me to dinner?"
Zhao Shuang's face turned red. He wanted to say no, but then he thought about it and said, "Yes, if you help me so much, I have to treat you to a meal to thank you."
"No problem." Xu Lang said with a smile: "Then come and treat me to this meal, hehe."
Zhao Shuang was happy: "Okay."
After returning to the office after dinner, Xu Lang immediately called Qiao Die: "Is that person missing?"
Qiao Die said: "How come, I'm following him now."
Xu Lang said: "Okay, don't lose him. I will go find him at night."
"Don't worry, brother." Qiao Die smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang had just lit a cigarette when there was a knock on the office door. He thought it was a subordinate looking for him, so he said, "Please come in."
When the door opened, Xu Lang was startled when he saw the person: "Hey, Secretary Yuan!"
Yuan Jun walked in with a smile, but his look was a little funny. He covered his chest with one hand in his suit. After closing the door, he reached into his suit with his right hand and pulled out a good cigarette like a magic trick!
Xu Lang's eyes widened, and when he saw the cigarette being handed to him, he asked in surprise: "Secretary Yuan, what are you..."
Yuan Jun smiled and said: "I originally bought this cigarette for myself to smoke during the holidays, but Fenghua said that I would smoke it for you. I was reluctant to part with it, but I couldn't resist her, so I had to bring it, hehe."
"Hahaha." Xu Lang was amused, and then whispered: "Secretary Yuan, this is the office. You made a mistake by giving me such expensive cigarettes. Take it back quickly!"
Yuan Jun smiled and said: "I have never made such a mistake. I don't know how it feels until I make it once. Now I understand. It turns out that giving gifts to others is so fun."
After saying that, he immediately stopped Xu Lang from talking: "Don't argue with me. I'm going to find the mayor now. The position has been decided. Do you really have no time tonight?"
Xu Lang smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't have time, let's wait until we are busy these days, okay?"
"Okay." Yuan Jun simply said: "Then I'm leaving."
The afternoon passed quietly in the busyness. Xu Lang looked at the time and saw that he would get off work in ten minutes. Today's work was basically done and he could have dinner with Yao Min.
But just as this thought came up, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was an unknown caller, Xu Lang waited for three rings and answered the call: "Hello, hello."
