A few minutes later, Zhou Yihong took a car to Taolin Hotel to rest while Lu Tao and Fu Lei walked back to Green Coast Mansion. When they were about to reach the gate, Fu Lei couldn't help but ask, "Little Lu, did your father have a good relationship with Secretary Zhou in the army? I can see that Secretary Zhou is very concerned about you and is very close to you. He would rather skip the party organized by the county committee to have dinner at your house. He even took the initiative to invite you to his house to play. This isn't a normal comrade-in-arms relationship! "
Lu Tao knew that Fu Lei wanted to ask him about his real relationship with Secretary Zhou, so that he could judge whether he should accept him wholeheartedly. Lu Tao also wanted to find someone who could help him, so he said, "Minister Fu, I can see that you are a good leader, so I will tell you the truth. When we were fighting in the army, my father saved Secretary Zhou's life, so they can be considered as friends who have gone through life and death together. My father passed away twenty years ago and Secretary Zhou only just found out about it. He sympathized with my father's experience, so he is very concerned about me. "
Fu Lei was surprised and envious, "So your father was not only Secretary Zhou's superior, but also his savior. No wonder he treats you so well. Little Lu, you're in luck this time. It can be seen that Secretary Zhou is a genuine man who will repay kindness. Since your father was his savior and passed away so early, he will definitely find a way to train you and promote you to repay your father's kindness of saving his life. As long as you grasp this opportunity and work hard, your future will be bright whether you stay in the local tax department or get transferred to a government office. "
Lu Tao smiled and didn't answer.
Fu Lei saw that he didn't say anything, so he suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, "Little Lu, I have something to ask of you. If you go to Secretary Zhou's house next weekend, can you take me to his house and have a chat with him? It would be best if you can have a meal with Secretary Zhou. Is that okay?"
Lu Tao said a little awkwardly, "Minister Fu, I don't have any problems, but I don't know how to ask Secretary Zhou. I don't know if he will agree."
Fu Lei patted his shoulder and said, "Little Lu, it's okay. You can go to Secretary Zhou's house first. When you have a good chat, you can tell him that I want to visit him. Don't worry, Secretary Zhou has just started working in Songshan City. Actually, he wants to interact more with us at the grassroots level and get to know more about the situation. He won't just stop the cadres from visiting his house. What's more, you have that kind of relationship with him. Even if he gives you face, he won't refuse. "
Lu Tao thought about it and felt that his words made sense, so he nodded and agreed …
The next day was Friday. Lu Tao arrived at Huaguang Village before eight in the morning and attended a meeting of the village branch committee in the morning. At the meeting, the village secretary, Su Yaoguang, couldn't hide his excitement. He first reported to everyone that Secretary Zhou of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee had decided to help Huaguang Village. He also told everyone that Officer Lu had played a key role in Secretary Zhou's decision to help Huaguang Village.
As soon as he said this, the conference room immediately filled with thunderous applause …
In the afternoon, Lu Tao was writing an analysis report in the Mass Task Force office when he suddenly received a call from He Ying.
"Little Lu, when are you coming back to the county? A few of my colleagues want to have a weekend dinner at my house, but my cooking skills aren't that good. Why don't you come back earlier and cook for me? Your cooking skills are really good. I still haven't had enough of the pork ribs and beef from last night. I'll go buy a few more pounds of pork ribs and beef later. You have to make these two dishes as good as last night. I just introduced you as a chef to my colleagues and recommended these two dishes. They're all waiting to taste the delicacies! "
Lu Tao joked, "Political Commissar He, since you like my cooking so much, why don't we make an agreement? From now on, we'll cook together on the weekends. You'll be in charge of buying the rice and groceries, and I'll be in charge of cooking. You'll pay and I'll do the work. It'll be fair and just.
What do you think? "He Ying scolded with a laugh," Little monkey, you're dreaming! You want to cook for me without spending a single cent? Keep dreaming! "Li Yundong thought." That's right. You're a man and younger than me, so it's only right that you do the work. We'll split the food expenses equally. That's only fair. However, I'm treating my colleagues to dinner tonight, so I'll pay for the food this time. If you really want to cook with me in the future, you have to share the food expenses equally. Otherwise, we can't talk about it! "
Lu Tao hurriedly agreed with a smile.
There were a man and two women who came to He Ying's house for dinner tonight. They were Zhou Youliang, the deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau, Su Lishu, and Li Tao, the deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Office. Zhou Youliang was He Ying's uncle, while Su Lishu and Li Tao were He Ying's two closest friends.
At around six o 'clock, Su Lishu came to He Ying's house first. After entering the kitchen, she curiously looked at Lu Tao, who was busy cooking, and then pulled He Ying to the living room outside. She asked with a face full of gossip, "Yingying, is that handsome guy in the kitchen the chef that you praised so much? Don't tell me that you love him because he's handsome and think that his dishes are delicious! "
He Ying's face turned red. She shyly smiled and punched Su Lishu's shoulder, "What are you talking about? Do you think that I'm like you, who is infatuated with handsome guys? He's really good at cooking. You'll know when you try it later. "
At this time, Zhou Youliang and Li Tao also appeared at the living room door. He Ying hurriedly went to greet them and invited them to sit down in the living room. She then put the tea that she made in advance on the coffee table and invited them to drink.
A few minutes later, Lu Tao came out of the kitchen after cooking the last dish. He Ying hurriedly pointed at Zhou Youliang and introduced him, "Little Lu, this is our county's Bureau Chief Zhou. Last time, you had a conflict with the staff of O 'Neal Hotel. The city's police station wanted to detain you, but it was Bureau Chief Zhou who upheld justice and didn't approve the detention report. You should thank him."
Zhou Youliang originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard He Ying introduce the young man in front of him as the local tax official that he helped last time, the smile on his face immediately disappeared like magic. He extended his hand very reservedly and let Lu Tao shake it. When Lu Tao thanked him, he just nodded indifferently and said, "En, en." Then he quickly turned his face to talk to Su Lishu.
Next, He Ying introduced Li Tao to Lu Tao. She smiled and told Lu Tao that Li Tao was the county's most beautiful woman.
