Li Tao saw that Fang Xin suddenly asked about Lu Tao and Chen. Because of this, he hesitated for a moment before replying, "Director Fang, according to my judgment,?? It's very likely that she and that young man surnamed Lu are lovers. Even if they haven't confirmed their relationship yet,?? She definitely likes him a lot. This can't escape my eyes. "
Fang Xin said in surprise, "Is that possible? Just now?? She introduced that boy as a cadre of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau. If they really are lovers,?? They've been working for three years. Why didn't they transfer that boy to the provincial Local Taxation Bureau or Shaxing City Local Taxation Bureau? With?? With her family background, wouldn't it be easy to transfer her boyfriend from another city to the provincial capital to work? "
Li Tao said, "Director Fang, your analysis does make sense. According to common sense, since?? She and that boy were university classmates, they graduated more than three years ago. If they were lovers, they should have been engaged or living together long ago. They should have transferred Little Lu to the provincial capital long ago. But I've been with?? Colleagues for three years, but I've never heard anyone say that she has a boyfriend.
"It's said that?? Her mother even personally told Chief Hu to pay attention to whether there are any particularly outstanding young talents in the hall. If there are, ask him to introduce them. From this,?? She probably doesn't have a boyfriend. However, when she and Little Lu came to my office just now, I clearly saw them holding hands. With?? With her personality, if she didn't like that boy very much, why would she hold hands with him in front of me? This doesn't make sense! "
Fang Xin hurriedly asked, "Old Li, are you sure?? She held that boy's hand in your office? "
"Yes, I'm quite sure. Not only did they hold hands, but when I deliberately joked about them and said that they were a golden boy and jade girl,?? She didn't deny it. Instead, she revealed a happy expression on her face. Director Fang, at least this shows that?? She really likes that boy. Maybe they didn't establish a relationship before, but now both sides have this intention. She's so outstanding and the only daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. If she likes any boy, is there anything that can't be done? From my judgment, this Lu Tao will most likely become Deputy Secretary Chen's son-in-law in the future. "
Fang Xin made an "Oh" sound and said, "I understand now that you mention it. No wonder?? Today, she suddenly brought that boy with the surname Lu to my office. She had never come to me for other people's matters before. It seemed that love could change a person sometimes!? Such a self-disciplined and self-respecting girl, for the person she likes, she didn't hesitate to give up her principles and modesty. She personally came to our office to treat us to a meal. How rare! When they entered my office just now, I was still a little confused. I thought Little Lu was …? He's just an ordinary classmate of hers. She only brought him to me because we were classmates. She didn't think about anything else. Thank you for reminding me. "
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Since Little Lu is …? My thoughts were: If Little Lu insists on helping them get a quota from the county, and if Pep also wants to help him, then we'll play it by ear during dinner tonight. We'll find another excuse to arrange a subsidy for them. What if? If we want to give her sweetheart enough face, we'll have to fight for more funds for Taolin County. We'll consider it based on the situation. After all? She's just been promoted to the village team leader. We have to give her some face and authority in front of her subordinates. What do you think? "
Li Tao knew that his last few words were insincere. The so-called "give Chen"? "Face and authority" was obviously an excuse. His real intention was to use this opportunity to curry favor with Chen Tao. At the same time, he wanted to curry favor with Lu Tao, who might become Deputy Secretary Chen's son-in-law …
Of course, these were all his thoughts, but he said something else. "Director Fang, you're still the most thoughtful. I completely agree with your idea. In my impression, Chen Tao has never asked anyone for help. She's never asked us for help before, so if she's determined to help Taolin County this time, we have to give her face and try our best to satisfy her request. "
After Fang Xin and Li Tao agreed, he raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already 5: 15 p.m. He picked up the landline and dialed Chen Tao's number. He told her that he had turned down a friend's invitation and was going to the Crown Hotel for dinner after work …
Lu Tao left the Finance Department at 5: 20 p.m. after receiving Fang Xin's confirmation that he would attend the dinner. After walking out of the Finance Department, he first called Cai Zhangming and told him that Director Fang and Deputy Director Li had agreed to have dinner at the Crown Hotel. He asked Cai Zhangming to tell him the private room number and he would tell Chen Tao.
Cai Zhangming quickly told Lu Tao the private room number and asked if he wanted to drive over to pick him up. Lu Tao said that he had checked the map on his phone. The Crown Hotel was about two kilometers to the west of the Finance Department. If he wanted to take a walk, he could just walk there from the Finance Department.
On the way to the hotel, Lu Tao called Zhou Yihong again and asked if he had arrived at the provincial capital. Zhou Yihong said that he had just arrived and was having a tea break at a teahouse near the Crown Hotel. He also asked how the arrangements were going. Lu Tao then told him that Fang Xin and Li Tao were going to attend the dinner and asked if it was convenient.
Zhou Yihong pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay. Last time, the Finance Department invited Fang Xin, Li Tao, and Chen Tao. I'll be there when they had dinner, so we can be considered acquaintances. The Finance Department of Taolin County is asking them for help. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it's not a problem for me to be there. In fact, I can even put in a good word for Taolin County. This is very normal. It's not a problem of inconvenience. Later, when everyone is in the private room, send me a message. I'll call you and ask where you are. Then, you can invite me over. Again, don't let the Finance Department, Fang Xin, and Li Tao know that I'm here to meet Chen Tao. We're going to have dinner together. "
"Secretary Zhou, don't worry. I'll do as you say. There won't be any mistakes."
After hanging up the call with Zhou Yihong, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that he had dinner with Chen Tao. He regretted telling her that Secretary Zhou would come over for dinner. He picked up his phone and called Chen Tao's number again. It was a subtle reminder to her not to mention this matter to anyone before Secretary Zhou arrived.
Chen Tao? He was a smart person. He immediately understood that Secretary Zhou had specifically told him not to let his subordinates know that he was here to have dinner with him. Therefore, he agreed immediately.
