Hearing Leng Hongyan's smile, Xiao Wan realized that he had said too much, so he said quickly, "Have you arrived? I'll go downstairs to pick you up. "Then he hung up the phone.
Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai had been staring at Leng Hongyan's phone call. As soon as Leng Hongyan hung up, Yao Haidong said, "Minister, how was it?"
"Let's get ready to be scolded," Leng Hongyan said.
"It's okay to be scolded, but I'm afraid that the Secretary won't scold us." Yao Haidong said, and Liu Lihai became nervous. Although he had seen leaders who were more senior than Secretary Guo Baoxin, he only saw them from afar as an accompanying reporter. Now he was face to face, except for Old Master Ji, the Secretary Guo Baoxin, who was his immediate superior's superior. Different from Old Master Ji, Liu Lihai was still very nervous at this time, especially when he received negative news one after another.
Xiao Wan soon came down and led Leng Hongyan and the others to Secretary Guo Baoxin's office. At this time, there was no time for Liu Lihai to adjust his mood. No matter what he thought, he must calm down and not be as timid as a mouse. He believed that Secretary Guo Baoxin did not want to see him like this.
When the elevator reached the sixth floor, Xiao Wan let Leng Hongyan get off the elevator first, then Yao Haidong. When Liu Lihai wanted to follow, Xiao Wan got off in front of him without even looking at him, which made Liu Lihai a little unhappy. He followed Xiao Wan and looked at the back of this man in his thirties. No matter how he looked at it, it was awkward.
At the end of the corridor, Xiao Wan returned to the front, raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Secretary, Minister Hongyan and Secretary Haidong are here." Xiao Wan did not mention Liu Lihai on purpose, or he did not know Liu Lihai, which made Liu Lihai even more unhappy, but he could not show it on his face. Xiao Wan was the secretary of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. In a sense, Secretary Wu Haotian had to respect him. He was just a small deputy county magistrate, of course, he could not go ahead of him. Thinking of this, he wanted to apologize to Xiao Wan, but at this time, the door opened and Secretary Guo Baoxin stood at the door to greet them.
When Leng Hongyan saw Secretary Guo Baoxin, she smiled and said, "First of all, I am flattered that Secretary Guo personally came down to welcome us."
Come in and sit down, then feel flattered. "Secretary Guo Baoxin also smiled. At this time, Liu Lihai began to look Secretary Guo Baoxin up and down. He was about 1.8 meters tall, a typical northern man, with long eyebrows, big eyes, and bright eyes. He did not look like a man in his fifties at all. He was also dressed in an ordinary and old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit, which made him look capable and calm. At least in the eyes of Liu Lihai, he instantly accepted and admired such a great leader.
Leng Hongyan led the way into Secretary Guo Baoxin's office and sat down on the sofa. Xiao Wan was very observant. Before Secretary Guo Baoxin said anything, he went to the outer room to prepare tea.
As soon as Leng Hongyan, Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai sat down, Secretary Guo Baoxin pointed at Yao Haidong and said, "This is Haidong, right?" Yao Haidong quickly stood up and said again, "Hello, Secretary."
Secretary Guo Baoxin nodded with a smile and gestured for Yao Haidong to sit down. Then he pointed at Liu Lihai and said, "This is the eye-catching little guy, Liu Lihai, right?"
As soon as Secretary Guo Baoxin's words fell, Liu Lihai was frightened and quickly stood up. Unexpectedly, he was tall and had long legs, so he bumped into the tea and made a loud noise. Xiao Wan rushed in from the outer room and looked at Liu Lihai, whose face had turned pale, and gave him a malicious look.
Secretary Guo Baoxin saw Xiao Wan's action and said, "It's okay. You can go back to your work." Xiao Wan turned and left. Liu Lihai's face turned from white to red, and he stammered, "Secretary, I, I, I saw that you were too nervous."
"Haha." Secretary Guo Baoxin laughed heartily. "Little guy, sit down. It's okay. Tall people like us will accidentally bump into something here and there. "Secretary Guo Baoxin added after laughing. As soon as he said that, not only Liu Lihai breathed a sigh of relief, but also Leng Hongyan and Yao Haidong. The atmosphere in the office suddenly relaxed.
"Thank you, Secretary." Liu Lihai said politely and sat down carefully, for fear of bumping into the tea again.
As soon as Liu Lihai sat down, Xiao Wan's tea was served. In the process of serving tea, Yao Haidong took out the calligraphy he asked Old Master Ji to write last time and respectfully handed it to Secretary Guo Baoxin and said, "Secretary, this is a gift from Old Master Ji."
Secretary Guo Baoxin took Old Master Ji's calligraphy and looked at it carefully for a while, then said, "Comrade Hongyan, Old Master Ji's calligraphy is strong and powerful. I like his calligraphy very much. Do you know that?"
"Secretary, I'm not afraid to laugh at you. I really don't know calligraphy. I just think Old Master Ji's calligraphy is beautiful. I really can't say anything else." Leng Hongyan was not afraid to make a fool of himself and said. As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Guo Baoxin laughed again, "It seems that Old Master Ji has a good taste. He chose a wife who only knows how to appreciate but not to be picky. No wonder Lady Ji's charm was overflowing in Jiangnan overnight. "
As soon as Secretary Guo Baoxin's words fell, Leng Hongyan was stunned. Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai also became nervous. It seemed that they were still criticized by the Secretary for yesterday's matter.
Leng Hongyan was stunned for a while, then quickly took over from Secretary Guo Baoxin's words and said, "Secretary, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive and impulsive. But I'm a woman. My hair is long, but my knowledge is short. "
Leng Hongyan took the initiative to admit his mistake. Yao Haidong also quickly said, "Secretary, I'm also at fault. I didn't think things through. I know the customs of Jingjiang and should have reminded Xiao Liu. I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
Seeing that both Leng Hongyan and Yao Haidong were apologizing, Liu Lihai didn't know how to react. He looked at them and then looked at them. Secretary Guo Baoxin saw his expression and said with a smile, "The little guy is confused by your rush to apologize."
As soon as Secretary Guo Baoxin finished speaking, Liu Lihai scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "In their eyes, I'm just a child who can't grow up. They are worried about me. So, Secretary, I caused the trouble. If there is any criticism or punishment, I will bear it alone, okay? "
As soon as Liu Lihai finished speaking, Leng Hongyan wanted to say something but Secretary Guo Baoxin said, "The little guy is not bad. He is like what we Northerners call a man. It's just that being a man in the officialdom isn't as simple as being a man. Sometimes, we have to deal with it the way you Southerners do. Don't you Southerners always say that if you can't win, then run? A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. So, officialdom is suitable for creating a diversion, rather than exposing oneself to the opponent too early. I've been in Jiangnan for a year, and I've been observing all the big shots. I've seen how high they jump and how excited they are. So, this year, Jiangnan's momentum has fallen to Governor Li Gaocheng's side. I know this very well. The reason why I haven't made any moves is because I feel that the time is not right. Now, you guys are forcing me to make a move early, but I'm not completely sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. "
After Secretary Guo Baoxin finished speaking, he glanced at Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan knew that he had indeed acted improperly and hurriedly said, "Secretary, I-I was indeed a little too impatient. It's just that I don't want you to passively take a beating, because time is very precious to you guys in the officialdom. Take Secretary Wu Haotian for example. He originally didn't have a strong relationship with Governor Li Gaocheng, but because of Meng Anda and his fellow townsman, Director Guo, it was easy for them to form a small group. This kind of small group is very lethal. "
Because of the political situation in Jiangnan, Leng Hongyan had no choice but to speak his mind.
"Is Meng Anda and Secretary Wu Haotian very close in private?" Secretary Guo Baoxin asked.
"Very special." Leng Hongyan replied.
Leng Hongyan replied very quickly. Guo Baoxin didn't say anything, but looked at Yao Haidong again. Yao Haidong didn't understand Secretary Guo Baoxin's meaning, but he quickly thought about it and glanced at Liu Lihai before saying, "Secretary, to tell you the truth, Xiao Liu almost became Meng Anda's son-in-law, but Meng Anda wasn't satisfied with Xiao Liu's family background, so he probably wanted to marry his daughter to Minister Liu's son. In order to separate them, Secretary Wu Haotian played a decisive role in it. That's why Minister Liu said that their relationship is not ordinary."
After Yao Haidong finished speaking, Liu Lihai's face turned red again. He didn't expect that Yao Haidong would mention the relationship between him and Sun Xiaomu here. Not only Leng Hongyan was present, but also Secretary Guo Baoxin. He was really embarrassed.
Secretary Guo Baoxin glanced at Liu Lihai. This young man's embarrassed face proved that what Yao Haidong said was true. It seemed that Meng Anda, Wu Haotian, and Li Gaocheng were in the same boat. This was the same as his judgment. In fact, he had been observing the people here. He had long felt that these people had a special relationship, but he didn't expect it to be so special that they would even deal with their private affairs together. It seemed that his precautions were still not enough, and the idea of implementing the strategy in the future was not appropriate.
Therefore, Secretary Guo Baoxin looked at Yao Haidong and asked, "Comrade Li Gaocheng, how was the on-site meeting in Jingjiang?"
