Just as Fu Lei and Zhou Youliang walked into the private room next door to have a private talk, Lu Tao received a call from Zhou Yihong. After the call went through, Zhou Yihong first asked if Lu Tao was in the village. When he found out that Lu Tao was drinking tea with Fu Lei and the others at the teahouse, he immediately told him to take the call outside.
Lu Tao hurriedly picked up his phone and walked out of the private room to the walkway. After making sure that no one was around, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Huang, I'm alone now. What is it?"
Zhou Yihong was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Since you're coming to my house this time, can you ask Xiao Ying to come with you? I've asked her to come over a few times, but she refused. Last time when the three of us had dinner together, I saw that you guys were pretty close, so I wanted to ask you to invite her over. Please! "
When Lu Tao heard him say "I saw that you guys were pretty close," he thought that Zhou Yihong already suspected that he had an ambiguous relationship with He Ying. He couldn't help but be shocked and explain a little guiltily, "Uncle Huang, I do have a good relationship with Political Commissar He, but it's just a pure sibling relationship. She's always treated me like a little brother, and sometimes she would ask me to help her with some chores, but we don't talk much, so I don't know if I can ask her to come. "
Zhou Yihong didn't seem to care about his relationship with He Ying. He said a little anxiously, "Little Tao, you have to help me and try to persuade her to come over to my place. This Sunday is a very special day for both of us. It's also the best chance for us to improve our relationship. If I miss this chance, she might really never talk to me again. "
When Lu Tao heard that this Sunday was a very special day for both him and He Ying, a strong sense of jealousy rose in his heart. He guessed that the "special day" Zhou Yihong was talking about was most likely the day he and He Ying were together for the first time, or the day they confirmed their extramarital relationship. So Zhou Yihong wanted to ask her to come over and reminisce about the beautiful days they had together, and persuade her to continue being his lover …
However, despite the jealousy in his heart, Lu Tao didn't dare to ask what special day it was. He said in a reluctant tone, "Okay then, I'll find a chance to ask Political Commissar He to come to Songshan to visit you. But Political Commissar He is a very unique person, so I might not be able to persuade her. If she doesn't come, I hope you won't say that I didn't try.
When Zhou Yihong heard that he agreed, he said happily, "Little Tao, I know her personality. If you can't persuade her, I definitely won't blame you.. When you invite her, you can tell her directly that this Sunday is a very special day. I want to go somewhere with her. Maybe she will agree. "
Lu Tao agreed. After thinking for a moment, he asked in an inquiring tone, "Uncle Huang, the head of the county's organization department, Xie Benzhu, the secretary of the county's disciplinary committee, and a deputy director of the county's public security bureau, who is Political Commissar He's uncle, want to come with me to visit you at your house this time. They also want to report to you about their ideological work at the same time. Is that okay?"
When Lu Tao was talking about this matter, he was a little worried that Zhou Yihong would think that he was immature and agree to bring people to his house without permission. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Zhou Yihong happily agreed. "Sure, I was just about to talk to these comrades who work at the grass-roots level and understand some of the situation below from them! Also, I have an idea. You're working alone in Taolin County, and I'm high and mighty, so I can't directly ask the leaders of the county and the local tax bureau to take care of you and help you. If you can have a good relationship with the head of the organization department and the secretary of the disciplinary committee, it will be very beneficial to your personal growth and progress. This is a good thing! "
When Lu Tao heard Zhou Yihong say this, he knew that Fu Lei's analysis was correct. Zhou Yihong really wouldn't oppose him bringing his subordinates to visit him. He couldn't help but admire Fu Lei from the bottom of his heart. He happily said: "That's good. I'll bring these leaders to visit you on Saturday morning."
"Okay, you'll all have lunch at my house at noon. You'll be in charge of cooking and make a few special dishes. Your cooking skills are really good. I'm still thinking about the delicious' taro spareribs' and 'beef slices' you made the other day. Hahaha! "
After hanging up the call with Zhou Yihong, Lu Tao immediately called He Ying's cell phone. After the call was connected, he chatted with He Ying for a while and then said with a smile, "Sister Ying, I'm going to Secretary Zhou's house to play on Saturday. Why don't you come with me? Secretary Zhou just said that we'll have lunch at his house at noon, and I'll be the cook. Don't you like to eat the dishes I cook? If you come with me, I promise to show my best cooking skills and let you eat the most unforgettable delicacies. "
When he said this, Lu Tao felt a little ashamed. He felt like he was a 'pimp' for Zhou Yihong and He Ying. But now he could only persuade her with delicious food. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to persuade her to go with him …
He Ying replied straightforwardly, "I'm not going! Didn't I tell you before? I don't want to see him again in this life. I'll remind you again. Don't mention him in front of me in the future. I don't even want to hear his name again! "
When Lu Tao saw that she really did reject him, he hesitated for a while and gathered his courage to say, "Sister Ying, Secretary Zhou just called me and sincerely invited you to his house to play. He also told me that this Sunday is a very special day. He wants to go to a place with you. He hopes that you'll consider it. "
When Lu Tao said the last sentence, he was sweating in his heart. He was afraid that He Ying would harshly scold him, and maybe she would ignore him in the future.
However, what surprised him was that after hearing that sentence, He Ying suddenly fell silent, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she asked, "Where are you now? Are you in the village? "
Lu Tao answered honestly, "I'm not in the village. I'm drinking tea with Minister Fu of the Organization Department, Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Director Zhou at the 'Qin Xin Teahouse' next to the Audit Office."
He Ying thought for a while and said, "I'm a little bored tonight, so I'll come over and have a cup of tea with you! By the way, are you still going back to the village tonight? "
Lu Tao didn't expect that she would still want to come over to drink tea at this time. He didn't want to reject her, so he could only say, "Okay, then we'll wait for you at the teahouse. I might not go back to the village tonight. I'll go there early tomorrow morning. "
