When Li Xiangdu heard Lu Tao say that Luo Qiulin couldn't guarantee that he would be the secretary of the Communist Youth League, a mocking expression appeared on his face. He said slowly, "Director Lu, you're an outsider. If Secretary Luo wants you to get the top two in the written test, it's actually not hard. First of all, during the written test, Secretary Luo can appoint a leader to come up with the test paper. After the test paper is out, it must be reviewed by him and he will make the final decision. If he wants you to get a good score, he can reveal the test questions to you first. He can even tell you the standard answers. This way, you can even get 100 marks.
"Secondly, during the interview, under normal circumstances, the examiners are Secretary Luo, Deputy Secretary Du, Minister Fu, three leaders from the city committee, and two or three professors from a university. If Secretary Luo wants you to score well in the interview, he can inform all the interviewers in advance, or reveal his intention to promote you when he receives them. Those interviewers will naturally understand and will definitely give you high marks in the interview. "
Speaking of this, Li Xiangdu paused for a moment and smiled at Lu Tao. He continued, "Director Lu, with your ability and level, coupled with your handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and profound knowledge, even if Secretary Luo doesn't help you, I believe you can get a good score in the written test and interview. However, if Secretary Luo doesn't like you, it doesn't matter how well you do in the exam. Secretary Luo can reject you in the examination with just one sentence, right? "
Lu Tao nodded and said, "I believe that. If Secretary Luo doesn't want to promote me, he doesn't need to go to the interview. He just needs to inform the other examiners during the interview and tell them not to give me high marks. It doesn't matter how good my written test results are. "
Li Xiangdu nodded and said, "It's good that you understand this point. Actually, the reason why Secretary Luo wants to open the test for the position of the secretary of the Communist Youth League is to give you a chance and a platform. So, you must cherish this opportunity and don't let Secretary Luo down."
Lu Tao looked straight at Li Xiangdu and asked bluntly, "Director Li, I just said that I'm a straightforward person and can't hide things in my heart. So I have a question to ask you. I hope you don't mind. Why did Secretary Luo suddenly think of promoting me? Why do you have to go through so much trouble to organize a public recruitment for a nobody like me? I'm not very familiar with Secretary Luo, and we haven't interacted much. He probably doesn't know me very well either. Why would he take a fancy to me? "
Li Xiangdu seemed to have expected him to ask this question. He replied calmly, "Director Lu, I can't answer you for the time being. Secretary Luo didn't explain it to me either. However, I can guess what Secretary Luo is thinking. First of all, you have a sunny, confident, and elegant appearance, which makes people look at you at first sight. Secretary Luo likes to judge people by their appearance, and he once seriously studied the 《Linen Clothes Physiognomy Method》, so he is very good at judging people. Therefore, he likes you based on your appearance.
"Secondly, I heard from Deputy Secretary Du, Director Qiu, and the others that you are a famous talent in the Local Taxation Bureau. You write well, your eloquence is outstanding, and you have been practicing martial arts since you were young. You can be described as someone who is proficient in both the pen and the sword. Secretary Luo was a leader who loved talented people very much. He appreciated talented people, especially those young talents, and would definitely think of ways to nurture and promote them. Also, I heard from Secretary Luo that you are the son-in-law of the O 'Neal Group's Chairman Liu Hong. Secretary Luo has a good relationship with Chairman Liu, so Liu Hong probably recommended you to Secretary Luo. All of these factors combined contributed to Secretary Luo's intention to promote you. "
Lu Tao knew that these reasons couldn't stand up to scrutiny. Luo Qiulin's real intention to promote him was to win him over. He wanted to use this method to make him feel grateful to him and eventually join their camp.
So, he said calmly, "Director Li, thank you for your compliment. Please also convey my heartfelt gratitude to Secretary Luo. Since Secretary Luo thinks so highly of me, I will definitely apply for the position of Secretary of the County Communist Youth League Committee and work hard to get good grades. I won't let Secretary Luo down. "
Li Xiangdu was very satisfied with his attitude. He nodded and said, "I will definitely convey your intentions to Secretary Luo. Come, come, the dishes are here. Let's drink. "
Halfway through the drink, Li Xiangdu said that he needed to go to the bathroom. He took his phone and walked out of the room.
Lu Tao guessed that he had gone to report the situation to Luo Qiulin. He began to think quickly. Luo Qiulin suddenly made a wish for him to be promoted. Other than trying to win him over, he must have other intentions. He must be on high alert and take one step at a time. He mustn't fall into their trap.
A few minutes later, Li Xiangdu came back. Seeing that the bottle of wine was almost finished, he asked the waiter to bring another bottle.
When the two of them were a little drunk, Li Xiangdu suddenly asked, "Director Lu, I heard that Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee and your father are old comrades. He also cares about you a lot. Is that true?"
Lu Tao looked at him and nodded. "That's right. Secretary Zhou is my father's old comrade. The two of them were very close when they were in the army. That's why Secretary Zhou also cares about me."
Li Xiangdu asked again, "You and Secretary Zhou only got in touch when he came to Songshan to work, right? You two didn't have any contact before, right? "
Lu Tao didn't know why Li Xiangdu wanted to get to the bottom of his relationship with Secretary Zhou. He began to feel wary, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and said, "That's right. After my father came back from the army, he stopped contacting Secretary Zhou. I didn't know that my father had such a comrade before. It wasn't until July that I met Secretary Zhou by chance when I went to Huaguang Village in Dalong Town to work on the construction of a new village. We don't have much contact now. Although he really wants to take care of me, he's still the high and mighty Municipal Party Committee Secretary. The Local Tax Bureau I'm in is a unit directly under him. Even if he wants to take care of me, he can't. "
Li Xiangdu nodded and raised his glass to toast Lu Tao. He didn't continue this topic. Instead, he told Lu Tao some anecdotes about Taolin County's officialdom.
After parting ways with Li Xiangdu and returning home, Lu Tao called Fu Lei's cell phone and asked, "Director Fu, is the county party committee going to hold an open recruitment for the position of Secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee? Have you heard about this? "
Fu Lei immediately guessed the purpose of his question. He replied, "This is one of Luo Qiulin's ideas. He mentioned it once at the county party committee, but it hasn't been discussed by the committee yet. What, did Li Xiangdu invite you to dinner today to tell you this good news? "
"Yeah, he told me that Secretary Luo wants me to apply for this position. He also said that Secretary Luo will do his best to help me succeed."
