When He Ying heard Lu Tao mention his punishment, she didn't want to talk about it anymore. She asked Lu Tao to take out the two books he had just recommended.
After taking the books from Lu Tao, He Ying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have to live in the village from Monday to Friday? Can't you come back at night? "
"Yes, the county committee's Organization Department is very strict with the assessment of the mass task force. During the specified time, the resident team members must be stationed in the village and cannot come back at night. The Organization Department often visits the villages after 10 o 'clock in the evening. If the resident team members don't live in the village, they will be criticized in the whole county and their year-end performance evaluation points will be deducted. For the team members who are found to have violated the discipline more than twice, they will be admonished by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. "
He Ying said, "Oh," and then asked, "What about next weekend? Will you be at home? "
Lu Tao looked at her strangely and shook his head, "I have an appointment with Secretary Zhou. I will go to Songshan City to visit him next weekend. Maybe I will take a bus from Dalong Town to the city on Friday afternoon. I won't go back to the county … Why? Are you going to have a party this weekend? Director Zhou still wants to eat the dishes I cook, right? "
He Ying was silent for a moment and shook her head, "Nothing, I'm just asking. You must be tired after climbing the mountain for two days. Rest early! "
In the next two days, Lu Tao stayed in Huaguang Village. On the one hand, he supplemented and improved the basic information. On the other hand, he actively contributed to the village's economic development. He also drafted a plan and schedule to seek help from the government and relevant departments.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lu Tao suddenly received a call from Fu Lei, the head of the County Committee's Organization Department. He was very enthusiastic to invite him to dinner.
Lu Tao hesitated for a moment and agreed to rush back to the county immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tao said goodbye to Su Yaoguang, the secretary of the village, and said that he had something urgent to attend to at home. Then he hurried back to the county by minibus.
After getting off the minibus, Lu Tao suddenly saw two familiar figures at the entrance of a hotel. The short fat man on the left was Li Weijun, the Secretary of Dalong Town's Party Committee, and the thin and tall man on the right was his rival, Liu Hong, the chairman of O'Neal International Hotel. They were talking and seemed to be greeting some guests.
At this time, Li Weijun just looked over and saw Lu Tao coming down from the minibus. His face changed, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. He stared at him fiercely, and then turned his head and continued to talk with Liu Hong. Lu Tao ignored him. He hailed a taxi and headed straight for the North Bridge Restaurant, where Fu Lei had booked a reservation.
Liu Hong also saw Lu Tao and watched him leave in the car with hatred in his eyes. He asked Li Weijun, "Last time you told me that Lu Tao was stationed in your town and talked back to you in public. Is there any way to teach him a lesson? That guy is too arrogant and doesn't know how to behave. He didn't give me any face and even wanted O'Neal International Hotel to pay more than seven million yuan. Last time, I wanted to let him go to the detention center for a few days, but I don't know where he found Zhou Youliang from the County Public Security Bureau, so he escaped. I can't bear it. "
Li Weijun said bitterly, "I also want to kill that guy, but now it seems a bit inappropriate. Last week, Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee went to Dalong Town to inspect and guide the work. For some reason, he took an interest in Lu Tao and called him to Plum Blossom Village to meet him alone. He even invited him to have lunch with him and arranged for him to sit next to Secretary Luo. He even squeezed Director Zhong of Renmin University to the side.
Liu Hong was shocked and said, "Really? Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee met Lu Tao alone and invited him to have lunch together? That's impossible! If that's the case, they may have some kind of relationship. We have to be careful. "
Li Weijun disdainfully curled his lips and said in a firm tone, "That's impossible. We also had this suspicion at the time, but after some analysis, the possibility was almost zero. Why? If Secretary Zhou really had some kind of special relationship with Lu Tao, he would definitely have interceded for him when the Local Taxation Bureau punished Lu Tao last time. With Secretary Zhou's status, if he wanted the Local Taxation Bureau to not punish a cadre, it would be a piece of cake. However, Lu Tao was not only punished, but his qualification to compete for the position of Deputy Director of the Inspection Bureau was also revoked. This proves that there is no special relationship between him and Secretary Zhou. "
Liu Hong asked in surprise, "Since they don't have any special relationship, why would Secretary Zhou meet such an ordinary cadre alone? Why would he arrange for him to sit next to him during lunch? "
Li Weijun said, "Later, I also discussed this issue with Secretary Luo and Director Zhong. Everyone's judgment was that Secretary Zhou was new to Taolin County, and it was his first time doing research in the county, so he wanted to leave everyone with the impression that he was friendly, pragmatic, and humble. On the other hand, Lu Tao's appearance was not bad. To be fair, he could be considered a talent. That day, when Secretary Zhou's car passed by an intersection, Lu Tao happened to be standing on the side of the road.
"Secretary Zhou probably saw Lu Tao's good appearance and had a good first impression, so he sent his secretary out of the car to ask him. Later, in order to show that he was close to the people, he met Lu Tao alone and arranged for him to sit next to him during lunch. To put it bluntly, he was just putting on a show for everyone present. I think that after Secretary Zhou left Taolin County, he would immediately forget about Lu Tao. Secretary Luo and Director Zhong also think so. "
Liu Hong felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded and said, "I have a deep understanding of this as well. The higher the position of an official, the more he wants to show that he is close to the people, loves the people, and is polite to the people. Therefore, he often visits the people who are in trouble during his investigation. The lower the level of the people, the more humble and sincere his attitude is. In the end, this is one of their tactics, a way to win the hearts of the people. It seems that our new Secretary Zhou is not an exception! "
Although Liu Hong was born in the underworld, he was not the kind of gangster who only knew how to fight and kill and had no knowledge and experience. On the contrary, his initial job was a middle school teacher, so his education level was higher. He also liked to study the Thick Black Theory and the Study of Relationships. He also had a good grasp of the unspoken rules and political ecology of the officialdom, so those who had interacted with him before all admired him.
