When Xie Benzhu heard that there was no progress on Lu Tao's side, she replied with a disappointed 'Oh'. But she couldn't say anything. She could only comfort Lu Tao, "Xiao Lu, it's okay. We guessed that you wouldn't be able to get anything valuable. Those people are old foxes and won't leave any trails behind. Du Xiaoyu is also a peripheral figure in the Liu Family, so it's understandable that she wouldn't be able to get in touch with the core secrets of the O 'Neal Group. "
A few days later, when Lu Tao was checking the accounts, he suddenly received a call from a deputy director of the county party committee, whose surname was Li. The deputy director warmly invited him to dinner and said that he had good news for him.
Lu Tao was puzzled. He didn't know this Deputy Director Li at all. Why would he suddenly invite him to dinner? What was the good news that he was talking about?
Although Lu Tao was full of doubts, the other party's attitude was very warm and sincere. So Lu Tao had no choice but to agree to meet him at around 6pm at the Spring Tea Restaurant near the County Committee.
After hanging up, Lu Tao immediately called Fu Lei. "Chief Fu, is there a Deputy Director with the surname Li in the County Party Committee?"
"Yes, there is a Deputy Director Li Xiangdu in the County Committee. You should be talking about him."
"What about this person? Has he been working in the County Committee all this time? "
"He has been working in the County Committee for 5 to 6 years. He was transferred from the County's Cultural Bureau. When he entered the County Committee, he was the Chief of the General Affairs Section and Secretary of Luo Qiulin. He was promoted to Deputy Director at the beginning of this year. He can be considered as Luo Qiulin's trusted aide."
Lu Tao was a little puzzled as he said, "Department Head Fu, I don't know this Deputy Director Li, but he suddenly asked me out for dinner and even said that he had good news for me. I don't know what he's trying to do."
Fu Lei was surprised as he let out an "Oh" sound. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Little Lu, this Li Xiangdu is Li Haiping's nephew and is also Luo Qiulin's loyal subordinate. He must have been instructed by Luo Qiulin to look for you. He probably wants to use some benefits to bribe you and pull you into their camp. You must be vigilant and not easily believe his words and promises."
Lu Tao nodded and said, "Minister Fu, don't worry. I'll play it by ear."
At six o 'clock in the afternoon, Lu Tao took a taxi to Chunlai Tea Restaurant. He saw a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses standing at the door. Guessing that he was Li Xiangdu, he walked over to him with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you Director Li?"
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile as he extended his hand and said warmly, "You must be Director Lu Tao! I've long heard that Chief Lu is handsome and has an extraordinary aura. Seeing you in person today, it's a pleasure to meet you! Nice to meet you! "
Lu Tao followed him into the restaurant and sat down in a small private room.
Li Xiangdu picked up the menu and asked Lu Tao to order. Lu Tao shook his hand with a smile and said, "I've never been to this restaurant before. I don't know what's good. Please order. I'm fine with anything."
Li Xiangdu didn't force him. He closed the menu and said to the waiter, "Give us a 'fillet fish', a 'rice crust mushroom', a 'beef jerky with winter bamboo shoots', and a 'red moss' … By the way, what would you like to drink, Director Lu?"
Lu Tao saw that he ordered four dishes and obviously wanted to drink. He said, "I can't hold my liquor. I can only drink with Director Li to liven things up. I'll drink whatever you want. White or red is fine."
Li Xiangdu smiled and said, "Director Lu is too modest. I heard from Director Qiu that you can drink a lot. Last time at your mother's 50th birthday, Director Qiu said that you drank at least two liters of white wine. But after the banquet, you weren't drunk at all. How can you say that you can't hold your liquor when you're sitting with me? "
Lu Tao didn't expect that Director Qiu would know about the banquet he held for his mother. He smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Director Qiu is exaggerating. I can't hold my liquor, but my physical fitness is better. Even if I'm drunk, I can still hold my liquor. That's why Director Qiu didn't see me drunk that day."
Li Xiangdu laughed and turned to the waiter and said, "Bring us a bottle of Shujing Fang."
Lu Tao hurriedly said, "Director Li, let's just drink that small bottle of white wine. Lang Jiu and Jiang Xiaobai are fine. There's no need to drink such expensive wine!"
Li Xiangdu waved his hand and said, "Director Lu, you don't have to worry about this. I have a habit of not drinking. If I want to drink, I must drink wine that is above 52 ° C. And it must be branded wine. I won't drink any other brands. It won't hurt my body easily. "
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lu Tao asked, "Director Li, you said that you called me here today because you have good news to tell me. What good news is it? Don't laugh at me. I'm a rather impatient person and can't hide things in my heart. So I took the liberty to ask for your advice. "
Li Xiangdu hurriedly said, "I like Director Lu's straightforward personality. It's like this. Last night, I was drinking tea with Secretary Luo. During the chat, he mentioned you and praised you. He said that you have both integrity and talent, both civil and military. You're an outstanding young cadre. It's just that your current job has limited your talents and also your future. Therefore, Secretary Luo wants to create an opportunity for you to leave the local tax department and enter the government. This will allow you to fight for more space for development. What do you think? "
Lu Tao thought that Fu Lei really had a divine plan. Li Xiangdu was indeed following Luo Qiulin's orders to make him an official. He pretended to show an urgent expression and asked excitedly, "Director Li, what opportunity is Secretary Luo planning to create for me?"
Li Xiangdu observed Lu Tao's expression and couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he saw Lu Tao's ecstatic expression. He said, "It's like this. Our county's Communist Youth League Secretary was transferred to Songshan City's Communist Youth League Deputy Secretary last month. Secretary Luo wants to conduct an open selection for the position of Communist Youth League Secretary in Taolin County. The specific idea is that among all the young cadre in the county, as long as they are under the age of 35 and have worked for more than three years, regardless of their position. Even if they're an ordinary staff member, they can participate in the selection. You can sign up for the selection this time. As long as you're selected, you'll be promoted to a section official position and your rank will rise. With your ability, I believe that as long as you have the platform of Communist Youth League Secretary, your future will be limitless. "
