Zhou Yihong nodded and said, "Little Wei is right. Little Lu, you must cherish her. Don't ever let her down. In my opinion, you and Chen Yushan are a match made in heaven. It's a match made in heaven. I hope you can consider my and your Uncle Wei's suggestion. "
Lu Tao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Wei, thank you for your concern. I know that Chen Yushan is. She's very good to me, but feelings are hard to explain. Let nature take its course! "
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. After Wei Gangqiang asked for Zhou Yihong and Lu Tao's opinions, he ordered the waiter to open a few bottles of beer. The three of them continued to chat as they drank.
Zhou Yihong knew that Wei Gangqiang would be too embarrassed to ask Lu Tao to look for Chen Yushan. To help, he took the initiative to tell Lu Tao about his current predicament and asked if he could ask Chen Yushan again. Ask Chen Yushan out to meet Wei Gangqiang.
Lu Tao was actually a little reluctant. He felt that he had to repeatedly bring officials to meet Chen Yushan and solve all these problems. He still needed her help to solve all kinds of difficulties and problems. Firstly, he owed her too many favors, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to repay them in the future. Secondly, he felt very awkward. He kept feeling that he had become an 'official broker' in the past few days, pulling strings for all kinds of officials, making him feel very uncomfortable.
However, the two people in front of him were his father's old comrades from more than 20 years ago. They both treated him as their own nephews, especially Wei Gangqiang. When he saw him just now, he even cried. It was obvious that he had true feelings for his father. Now that he was in trouble, if he didn't help him, it wouldn't make sense …
Therefore, he could only agree. "Uncle Wei, I'll call you tomorrow to ask Chen Yushan out. If she's free, we'll treat her to lunch or dinner. Is that okay? "
Wei Gangqiang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for your news tomorrow."
The next morning, Chen Yushan called Lu Tao. She told him that the budget department had decided to give Taolin County ten million yuan in subsidies for the construction of the new village. One million yuan was for Huaguang Village. However, because 7.15 million yuan was a temporary increase, it had to be reported to the department head for approval. It would take a few days for it to be approved.
Lu Tao thanked her happily, and then asked, "????" Are you free this afternoon or evening? My father has an old comrade who is now the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. His name is Wei Gangqiang, and he wants to ask you for help. If you're free, can you come out and have a meal with me? "
Chen? She asked in surprise, "Apart from Secretary Zhou, your father also has a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? What does he want me to do? "
Lu Tao knew Chen? She despised corrupt officials the most. If he told her the truth at this time, she might mistakenly think that Wei Gangqiang was also a corrupt official. If that happened, then he would not be able to invite her again. Thus, he vaguely said, "I'm not too clear on the specifics of what I want to help you with. In short, it won't make things difficult for you. When the time comes, listen to what he has to say. If you can help him, then help him. If you feel that you can't, then that's fine too. "
Chen? After a moment of consideration, he said, "I'm going to Jinjiang County on a business trip later. I'll probably only be back at noon tomorrow. Why don't you ask Deputy Director Wei out for lunch tomorrow? My father is coming back from Beijing tomorrow night, so I have to eat at home and can't come out. "
Lu Tao hurriedly answered, "Okay." He hung up her phone and immediately dialed Wei Gangqiang's cell phone number.
Wei Gangqiang found out that Chen had agreed to lunch tomorrow. He promised to come out for lunch the next day. He laughed happily on the phone and thanked Lu Tao profusely.
After that, Lu Tao walked into Cai Zhangming's room. He saw Xia Bingbing, Zhang Yaling, Su Yaoguang, and the rest gathered in the room. When Cai Zhangming saw him, he hurriedly asked, "Little Lu, did you call Chen? Was it Team Leader's call? Last night, Director Fang and Director Li agreed to give us 9.85 million in subsidies. Have they looked into it yet? "
Lu Tao saw his anxious look. He was clearly afraid that Fang Xin and the rest would go back on their word and not give so much subsidies to the county after they sobered up. Lu Tao felt a little amused. He deliberately frowned and said, "?? Say, Director Fang and the rest have looked into it and are willing to give us the funds. However, the amount has changed. It's not 9.85 million. "
Xia Bingbing's expression changed instantly. She said angrily, "How can they do that? Last night, we drank so much according to their rules. I even drank until I passed out and made a fool of myself. Lu Tao, you were also loyal and helped us finish the last nine bottles of wine. We agreed on 9.85 million. Why did they change their mind? Are they making fun of us? This won't do. I have to reason with them! "
With that, she really rushed to the door angrily.
Lu Tao hurriedly reached out to stop her. He smiled and said, "Chief Xia, why are you so impatient? Can't you listen to me first? The subsidy that Director Fang and the rest decided to give us is indeed not 9.85 million, but 10 million. They gave an extra 150,000 to our county! "
When he said that, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they all looked at the angry Xia Bingbing in unison. Suddenly, they all held their stomachs and laughed wildly!
Zhang Yaling laughed while holding her stomach. She pointed at Lu Tao and said, "Little Lu, you're too funny. When you made that frowning face just now, we all thought that the county's funds were reduced. No wonder Bingbing went to fight with them. Haha, I'm scared! "
Xia Bingbing's beautiful eyes widened as she glared at Lu Tao. She cursed, "Damn liar." She also felt that the scene just now was a bit funny. She couldn't help but lower her head and smile. She turned around and sat back in her original seat …
Su Yaoguang wasn't interested in the amount of subsidy the county received. He only cared about whether Lu Tao had obtained funds for Huaguang Village. However, he couldn't ask in front of the Finance Bureau. Thus, he used an excuse to talk to Lu Tao and pulled him out of the guest room. He asked anxiously, "Little Lu, you have such a good relationship and obtained 10 million for the county. What about our village? You said that you wanted to obtain funds for the village. Is there any hope? "
Lu Tao smiled and said, "I forgot to say. Of the 10 million in the county's subsidy, one million is clearly for Huaguang Village to build a new village. When the time comes, the leaders of the Provincial Finance Bureau will clearly explain it to Chief Cai. This one million is the fund that the Provincial Finance Bureau will give to Huaguang Village! "
Su Yaoguang had always thought that Lu Tao was bragging. He didn't believe that he could obtain the "fund" from the Provincial Finance Bureau. It wasn't until last night that he found out that Lu Tao really had the ability. However, he still thought that Lu Tao would only obtain four to five hundred thousand for the village. He didn't expect that Lu Tao would tell him that it was one million. This made him go wild with joy. He almost shouted "hooray!"
