Chen? He didn't comment on Li Tao's words and asked, "Is Director Li free tonight? If you're free, I'd like to invite you to the Crown Hotel for a drink. The Taolin County's Finance Bureau is paying. "
Li Tao wanted to see Chen? This was the first time he had personally invited him for a drink. Without thinking, he happily replied, "I'm free, of course I'm free. If you're inviting me for a drink, I'll definitely decline even if I have other social engagements. Hahaha! "
Chen? He smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. He took Lu Tao's hand and bid him farewell. The two of them went to Fang Xin's office together. He raised his hand and knocked on the closed door a few times, but no one answered.
Chen? He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. He could hear the faint sound of the landline ringing in the office.
Lu Tao was puzzled. Why did he call Fang Xin's office? Suddenly, he heard the ringtone stop, followed by a middle-aged man's enthusiastic voice, "?? What's the matter? "
Chen? He smiled and said, "Director Fang, I'm outside your office. I have something to trouble you with."
Lu Tao suddenly understood. Because there were too many people looking for Fang Xin recently, he simply locked himself in his office. If it was a leader, subordinate, or someone close to him, they would naturally call him. If it was someone who came to ask him for help, he wouldn't answer. He would let them think that he wasn't in the office and avoid a lot of talk and trouble …
Just as he thought of this, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the office. Soon, the office door was opened, and a man in his forties wearing a white shirt, well-ironed trousers, and a pair of gold-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses, looked very energetic, very agile, and very elegant. He stood at the door with a smile on his face, and waved sideways to signal Chen Zhao. He walked in with a smile on his face and said, "??? It's rare for you to come to my office. Welcome, welcome! "
After entering the office, Fang Xin invited Chen and Lu Tao to sit down. She sat down on the sofa with Lu Tao and made tea for them. Then, she looked at Lu Tao and quickly glanced at him. Her smile didn't fade as she asked, "This handsome guy is …"
Chen? "Director Fang, this is my university classmate, Lu Tao. He's from Taolin County's Local Taxation Bureau. He's here today to settle some matters."
Fang Xin was a little surprised and asked, "Little Lu is from the Local Taxation Bureau, and he's not in the Provincial Bureau. What are you doing here?"
Chen? He then told Lu Tao about how Taolin County's Finance Bureau had asked him to help them get a provincial financial subsidy for the construction of a new rural village.
Unlike Li Tao, Fang Xin didn't ask Chen directly. Instead, he glanced at Lu Tao and pondered for a moment before replying, "??? In the morning, the people from the Taolin County Bureau went to look for Comrade Li Tao. They first applied for a ten million yuan subsidy. They said that our department promised them at the beginning of the year, but I didn't know about it, and no one told me about it. When I asked Comrade Li Tao, he said that it was only a verbal promise and that it had not been discussed in the department. Later on, the people from the Taolin County's Finance Bureau took a step back and said that they wanted to set a subsidy for the construction of a new rural village. Comrade Li Tao had already told them that the subsidy had already been allocated, so this matter is a little difficult to handle. "
Lu Tao saw that when he mentioned the ten million yuan promise, he didn't mention the former director, Feng Linfeng's name at all. He knew that Fang Xin was a meticulous person, and his words were watertight. He couldn't help but glance at Chen? He wanted to see what she would say.
Chen? However, she only smiled and didn't say anything else. Instead, she asked softly, "Director Fang, do you have any social engagements tonight? If you don't have any, I would like to invite you to the Crown Hotel for a drink. However, this drink is on the Taolin County's Finance Bureau. If you feel that it's inconvenient or difficult, I understand. "
Fang Xin pondered for a moment again before replying, "??? I did agree to have dinner with a friend tonight. Why don't I give him a call later? If he doesn't have anything important to tell me, I'll go to the Crown Hotel. I'll call you before I get off work to let you know. "
Chen? "Mm." She stood up and said goodbye to Fang Xin.
Back to Chen? On the way to the office, Lu Tao looked around and asked in a low voice, "?? Will Director Fang attend our banquet tonight? Also, you told me this afternoon that he was going to give you a flexible quota. Why didn't he just agree to give you the quota? Why did he tell you all the difficulties instead? "
Chen? She smiled and said, "Director Fang is different from Director Li. He's the head of the budget department, so he'll definitely be more meticulous and cautious when considering problems. He also won't easily agree to other people's requests to treat him to a meal. I can tell you that Director Fang definitely doesn't have any friends who want to invite him tonight. That was just an excuse. If I went to invite him alone, he would definitely agree. However, because you're beside me and you're also from Taolin County, he doesn't know what my relationship with you is. That's why he found an excuse to decline. His goal is to tell you that he's not that easy to invite. Don't worry, at half past five, he'll definitely call me and tell me that he's rejected the other party's invitation. He'll go to the Crown Hotel with me for dinner. "
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked past them and greeted Chen Zhao warmly. Hello, Chen? Chen Zhao smiled in response and turned to watch him walk away before continuing in a low voice, "As for the flexible quota you mentioned, the logic is the same. He did call me personally and asked if I wanted a flexible quota. If I asked him for it, he would definitely give it to me. However, because you're beside me and he doesn't know if I told you about it, he could only tell me about the difficulties of getting a flexible quota. He wouldn't bring it up on his own accord. I guessed what he was thinking, so I didn't mention anything about the quota either. I'm guessing that after we left the director's office, he would immediately call Li Tao to discuss this matter. "
Chen? She guessed correctly. After Chen Zhao and Lu Tao left the director's office, Fang Xin immediately called Li Tao's number. After confirming that he was alone in the office, he asked, "Old Li, just now?? She brought an officer from Taolin County's local tax bureau to find me. She said she was her university classmate. Did they find you? "
"They came to my office and even invited me to have dinner with the people from Taolin County's finance bureau at the Crown Hotel. Their intention was very clear. They wanted to get a provincial financial subsidy quota for Taolin County's new rural development. I'm guessing that's why they came to find you! "
