official journey ups and downs

During the meal, Shen Tong tentatively asked: "Leader Zhu, since we are old acquaintances, how do you see Secretary-General Pang's arrangement?"

Zhu Zhenfeng took a bite of food, put down his chopsticks, and took out a small book from his pocket. After opening it, he carefully looked at Pang Huaiyuan's recent work schedule. , it's going to be March soon, how about I arrange the time to the first ten days of March?"

This Zhu Zhenfeng is clearly putting on airs!Shen Tong said with some embarrassment: "Leader Zhu, you also know that Governor Zhang said that the investigation will be in early March. If we meet according to the time you said, we don't even have time to prepare. You should be more accommodating, you Can you move forward?"

Zhu Zhenfeng closed the notebook and put it in his pocket, and said indifferently: "Brother, it's not that I don't give you this face, it's true that Secretary-General Pang's time is too tight, I came out to eat with you at noon today and I ran out privately Yes, let’s understand each other, it’s not easy to arrange your schedule.”

Seeing the other party's attitude, Shen Tong felt annoyed in his heart, but he endured it and said: "Leader Zhu, time really waits for no one, you have to give us time to prepare, and I hope you can take care of it properly. It won't be too long, even half an hour is enough."

"Then what time do you say?" Zhu Zhenfeng said.

"Tomorrow evening."

"What?" Zhu Zhenfeng heard that someone arranged for him, and felt that the other party was a bit overwhelmed, so he sneered: "I said brother, you have to see a problem clearly. Secretary-General Pang is the secretary-general of the provincial government office, not for you. The county family serves, you can say whatever you want, it’s not a joke!"

Shen Tong insisted not to retreat, and said: "Leader Zhu, I know that my request is a little too much, but the time is too hasty. Now for us, time is money. If you can see Secretary-General Pang one day earlier, you can Prepare early." After speaking, Shen Tong winked at Liu Haidong, took out 2000 yuan and put it in front of Zhu Zhenfeng.

Zhu Zhenfeng observed the surroundings vigilantly, then pushed the money back and said, "Brother, it's not that money can solve the problem. I'm just a secretary. How can I influence the arrangement of the leader!"

Liu Haidong was also a little angry. He increased the money to 5000 yuan and pushed it in front of Zhu Zhenfeng again, saying: "Leader Zhu, to tell you the truth, our Secretary Wu intends to follow Secretary Pang's path, so you must help me with this favor." .”

Seeing that the other party was a bit tough, Zhu Zhenfeng put on an official air instead, pushed the money hard, scattered a few sheets in an instant, and said, "It's not that I won't help with this favor, I said I will arrange it for you in mid-March."

This is an unfriendly attitude, Shen Tong suppressed his anger and said again: "Leader Zhu, can you really not do it tomorrow night?"

"No!" Zhu Zhenfeng said firmly.

Liu Haidong clenched his fists, ready to move, Shen Tong pressed Liu Haidong and said, "Leader Zhu, it seems that I have to ask Xing Lina and Secretary-General Pang to speak." Then he rolled his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, We had a meal with Xing Lina last night, she drank a little too much and said something that shouldn't be said, I wonder if Leader Zhu is interested in listening?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhenfeng suddenly became nervous, looked around carefully again, and whispered: "What did Xing Lina tell you?"

Shen Tong leaned back and said lazily: "Leader Zhu is really interested in listening?"

Zhu Zhenfeng was frightened, and his face instantly turned into a pig's liver. He raised his hand to stop Shen Tong and said, "Okay, let's stop this matter. In this way, I will try my best to arrange it for you."

Seeing the effect, Shen Tong took advantage of the heat to hit the railway: "Leader Zhu, we can't try our best with this, it's best to set a specific time and place."

"How did this happen?" Zhu Zhenfeng was a little impatient, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Well, I'll call you tomorrow afternoon."

Shen Tong smiled and said: "That's right, Leader Zhu, I know you are a straightforward person, come on, let's replace wine with tea!"

Liu Haidong got up and put the money in Zhu Zhenfeng's pocket, but Zhu Zhenfeng tried his best to refuse, and Liu Haidong stopped him and said, "Leader Zhu, if you want to treat me as a friend, you can take the money. I know you work hard at ordinary times, so buy more nutrition for yourself. good?"

Seeing the other party like this, Zhu Zhenfeng had no choice but to accept the money on the spot.

After a quick lunch, Zhu Zhenfeng left the restaurant as if fleeing, and went straight to the provincial government compound.

After Zhu Zhenfeng left, Shen Tong said to Liu Haidong: "Brother Liu, I think this Xing Lina is really not simple. Not only has she had an affair with Secretary Pang, but she may also have something to do with Secretary Zhu. You saw his expression just now No? If it has nothing to do with him, why are you so nervous? It seems that we did not make a mistake in choosing this line! Not only has the relationship deepened, but it has also kept the other party in check."

Hearing Xing Lina's complicated relationship network, Liu Haidong felt a little uncomfortable, but no matter what, he couldn't get rid of his feelings for Xing Lina. If Xing Lina could change for himself, he would never forget the past. You can forget about the past and treat her well.He said: "Do you think this kid will chew his tongue in front of Secretary-General Pang?"

"Don't worry, absolutely not!" Shen Tong said with certainty, "He didn't even dare to use Xing Lina as a shield. You know, we inadvertently learned of Pang Huaiyuan's 'secret passage', or this passage only has a small area. Some people know about it, and this Secretary Zhu is the one who made the connection. If Lina Xing found out, it would be him who leaked the news, hehe."

With a quick mind, Liu Haidong immediately understood Shen Tong's meaning, and said: "We now have so many secrets about Pang Huaiyuan, we don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, hey, we can only take one step at a time."

After paying the bill, Liu Haidong said: "Now we have nothing to do, how about I go back to Longnan?"

There was another thing in Shen Tong's heart, and he said: "Brother Liu, please go to the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences with me, I have to meet someone."

"Who?" Liu Haidong asked suspiciously.

"Zhou Tianyong."

"Who is this person?"

Shen Tong said: "This person is Secretary Wu's college classmate, and he is a small leader in the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences. Last time I accompanied Secretary Wu to Longzhong, I even had dinner with him."

"Oh." Liu Haidong was still confused: "Why are you looking for him?"

Shen Tong smiled mysteriously: "You will naturally understand when you arrive."

Liu Haidong didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Okay, get in the car!"

In the car, Shen Tong asked Liu Haidong: "Brother Liu, how much cash do you have?"

Liu Haidong said: "I brought 10 yuan in cash when I went out this time, and now I have a few thousand yuan left in my pocket. What? Do I need money? I still have my card. If it's not enough, I'll go get it!"

Shen Tong said: "A thousand yuan is enough. You don't know that Zhou Tianyong is petty and loves to take advantage of small things. Last time I invited him to dinner, he packed a few dishes and a few bottles of Moutai before leaving. He tried every means to get cheap It's like squeezing toothpaste to deal with this kind of person, you can't feed him all at once."

"Okay, then it's up to you!" Liu Haidong said boldly.On Wu Jiangkai, Liu Haidong is really willing to spend money.For a Pang Huaiyuan, he spent almost 100 million all this, but he never said a word of no, Shen Tong secretly sighed, it is enough to make such a friend!

But then again, the money Liu Haidong spent today will eventually be earned back. Shen Tong suddenly thought of Wu Jiangkai's proposal to develop the West City. If there is no accident, more than half of the construction projects in the West City District will probably fall on Liu Haidong.Thinking of this, Shen Tong also understood why Liu Haidong worked so desperately for Wu Jiangkai, there is a certain reason.

When he arrived at the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, Shen Tong made several inquiries and found Zhou Tianyong's office.After knocking on the door and entering, Zhou Tianyong was lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly, and the room smelled of foot odor.

Shen Tong and Liu Haidong held their noses and walked to the sofa to wake up Zhou Tianyong. Zhou Tianyong opened his eyes in shock, rubbed his eyes and said, "Who are you? Why did you come in without my consent?"

Shen Tong smiled and said, "Director Zhou, you don't know me? I'm from Dongquan County, and my name is Shen Tong."

Zhou Tianyong got up and said, "Shen Tong? I don't know you."

Shen Tong smelled the smell of alcohol all over Zhou Tianyong's body, turned around and poured a glass of boiled water for him, and said, "Director Zhou, your college classmate, Dongquan County Party Secretary Wu Jiangkai, should you know him?"

Zhou Tianyong looked at Shen Tong calmly, stood up and pointed at Shen Tong, and said, "Oh, I remember, last time we had dinner at 'Weiyang Pavilion', you were Jiang Kai's secretary."

Hearing that the other party still remembered him, Shen Tong nodded.

After Zhou Tianyong put on his shoes, he let the two of them sit down. He was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm very sorry. You see, I'm usually busy with work, so I didn't remember it for a while. Since I'm Jiang Kai's secretary, they are all from my family, haha."

No matter how he looked at it, Shen Tong didn't think how busy Zhou Tianyong was, but he couldn't expose him, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou has a lot of work, so you need to rest more and pay attention to your body."

Zhou Tianyong poured two glasses of water and put them in front of the two of them and said, "At noon, the mayor of a city insisted on inviting me to dinner. I couldn't refute his face, so I had to go. I drank too much."

After sitting down, Zhou Tianyong asked with concern: "How is Jiang Kai?"

Shen Tong said: "It's okay, but the governor will go to our county for research next month, and he will be busy with it during this time."

"Oh?" Zhou Tianyong said in surprise: "Governor Zhang is going to your county for investigation? Has this matter been settled?"

"Yes, Secretary Wu, who was notified by Secretary-General Pang two days ago, is not making preparations in an intense and orderly manner." Shen Tong said.

Zhou Tianyong has been in office for many years, thinking about politics all day long when he has nothing to do. He is especially sensitive to news from the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Hearing what Shen Tong said, he seems to have smelled something.After thinking for a while, he said, "Then Secretary Shen came to my place today..."
