When Lu Tao saw that Yuan Cheng had taken the initiative to invite Wang Zhichang to the gathering at noon the next day, he was secretly delighted. It was obvious that Yuan Cheng had already listed Wang Zhichang as a candidate for the head of Taolin County's Local Taxation Bureau. This was definitely great news for him!
Lu Tao analyzed that Yuan Cheng had three reasons for inviting Wang Zhichang to tomorrow's gathering. First, he wanted to observe Wang Zhichang face to face and understand his character and abilities through his actions. Second, he wanted to hint to the city's local tax bureau's deputy director and middle management that he wanted to promote Wang Zhichang to Taolin County's local tax bureau. Third, he wanted Wang Zhichang to understand that this new city bureau chief had a close relationship with Lu Tao. At the same time, he wanted him to owe Lu Tao a favor and take care of him in Taolin County …
Thinking up to this point, he happily thanked Yuan Cheng and picked up his phone to call Wang Zhichang.
"Little Lu, why are you calling me so late at night? Is there something important?" Wang Zhichang thought that Lu Tao wanted to talk to him about something, so his tone was light.
"Bureau chief Wang, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Can you come to Songshan city for a meal? "
Wang Zhichang was confused, "Why would I come to Songshan city for a meal? Plus, I've already made plans with a few friends to hike the Twin Bear Mountains for a day. I'll only be back at night. I can't even come to Taolin County, let alone Songshan city. Sorry. "
Lu Tao smiled, "Bureau chief Wang, I suggest that you take some time tomorrow afternoon to come to Songshan city because the people attending this gathering are all city bureau's leaders. Most importantly, the city bureau's new bureau chief Yuan will also be attending."
"What? The new bureau chief Yuan will also be attending tomorrow's gathering? Are you sure? "Wang Zhichang was surprised and happy as he interrupted him.
"That's right, bureau chief Yuan just told me that the city bureau's deputy directors and middle management will be attending tomorrow's gathering, but out of the county bureau's leaders, bureau chief Yuan only invited you."
Wang Zhichang let out an "ah" and asked in disbelief, "Is that true? Did bureau chief Yuan really invite me for a meal? How do you know bureau chief Yuan? "
"Bureau chief Wang, of course it's true! I've known bureau chief for a long time, I'm having tea with him right now! "
When Wang Zhichang heard that Lu Tao was drinking tea with Chief Yuan, he was so excited that his tone changed. He hurriedly said, "Little Lu, please send my regards to Chief Yuan and convey my heartfelt gratitude. I'll definitely rush to Songshan city to attend the gathering tomorrow!"
There was a reason why Wang Zhichang was so excited. The head of the Taolin County Bureau, Long Jianbin, was about to retire. According to insider information, the Songshan Bureau had two plans for the head of the Taolin County Bureau. The first plan was to promote someone from the current leadership of the county bureau to take over Long Jianbin's position. The second plan was to select someone from the middle level of the city bureau to be the head of the Taolin County Bureau.
The original head of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Daguang, was leaning towards the second plan. Furthermore, he intended to transfer the head of the Municipal Bureau's second tax department to Taolin County. However, before he had the time to make this adjustment, he was pursued because he was involved in the corruption case of the head of the Business Tax Section, so this plan was definitely not going to work.
Wang Zhichang was currently the second in command of the Taolin County Bureau, and was also the party secretary. If the Municipal Bureau decided to promote someone from the county bureau, he would be the first choice.
Therefore, when he heard from Lu Tao that the new Bureau Chief Yuan had invited him to the gathering at noon the next day, and that he was the only one who had received this honor among all the county and city bureau leaders, it was easy to imagine how excited he was. Obviously, this was a signal from Bureau Chief Yuan to him, indicating that he was leaning towards the first plan in the selection of the top leader of Taolin County, and that he intended to promote him …
Of course, Wang Zhichang also guessed that the reason why bureau chief Yuan knew about him and wanted to promote him to the head of the Taolin County Bureau was definitely because Lu Tao played a role in it. This was because he didn't even know bureau chief Yuan. If it wasn't for Lu Tao's recommendation, how would he know about him? And why would he invite him to Songshan City to participate in this important gathering?
When he guessed this, Wang Zhichang couldn't help but feel very grateful to Lu Tao. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, when Lu Tao was in trouble, he didn't criticize him or look down on him. Instead, he talked to him, comforted him, and made him feel grateful to him. That was why he recommended him to Bureau Chief Yuan. Otherwise, if he said a few bad words about him to Bureau Chief Yuan, the position of Taolin County's Bureau Chief would have been completely out of his reach …
Yuan Cheng had been listening to the conversation between Lu Tao and Wang Zhichang with a smile on his face. After he hung up the phone, he looked at his watch and asked casually, "Xiao Lu, did Section Chief Chen go shopping with your family? Will she come for tea later? "
Lu Tao knew that he had rushed to Songshan City today mainly because of Chen Pei, so he picked up his phone and said, "Peipei did go shopping with my mother, sister, and brother-in-law. Do you want me to call her and ask if she can come over for some tea?"
Yuan Cheng said happily, "Okay, you can call her and ask. It's not even eleven yet. Tomorrow is Sunday, so you can wake up later. If she's interested, invite her here for tea. Section chief Chen said that I was able to get my wish of being transferred to Songshan City because of a lot of help. If she can come, I want to express my gratitude to her face to face! "
Lu Tao nodded and dialed Chen Pei's phone, "Chen Pei, are you back from shopping?"
"I just got back to my room. Are you guys still drinking tea?"
"Secretary Zhou has to work overtime so he went back to his office. I'm at the teahouse with bureau chief Yuan right now. Can you come for tea? "
Chen Pei said lightly, "I just walked around for two hours. I'm a bit tired and want to rest early. You guys can continue drinking tea. Say hello to bureau chief Yuan for me. "
Lu Tao said, "Oh." Just as he was about to hang up, he saw Yuan Cheng anxiously gesturing to him and saying in a low voice, "Tomorrow afternoon … we'll eat lunch!"
Lu Tao immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly asked, "Pep, can you go back tomorrow afternoon? Bureau chief Yuan is having a gathering at noon tomorrow with the leaders of Songshan City's Local Taxation Bureau. He wants to invite you to attend. "
Chen Pei hesitated and answered, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow afternoon. I can accompany your family to the western suburbs' Egret Lake Scenic Area. Oh right, Secretary Zhou will go with us tomorrow morning. He just called me. "
Lu Tao said sincerely, "Chen Pei, thank you."
Chen Pei asked faintly, "What are you thanking me for? You're thanking me for accompanying your family? I want to accompany your family more often, but you won't give me the chance! "
