Chapter 57 Special cigarettes

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Chinese New Year, Wu Hao followed Secretary Xu to various departments for condolences every day, and busy sorting out Secretary Xu's speeches during the day at night. It was not until the morning of the fourth day of the Chinese New Year that Secretary Xu and his whole family returned to the provincial capital, Wu Hao had time to rest for a few days.

Since Wu Hao is from Anfu City, Secretary Li Yongbo of the Anfu City Party Committee called Wu Hao early before the New Year and asked him when he would go back to Anfu City, saying that he would send a car to Minning City to pick him up. Wu Hao wanted to refuse Li Yongbo's kindness, but thought of what Secretary Xu said before, "Although people are in the officialdom, they do not have eternal friends, but they do not have eternal enemies. They only have a combination of interests. Accumulating political capital means knowing how to use the relationships of all parties and create conditions for their work." Thinking of this, Wu Hao immediately thanked Secretary Li Yongbo and agreed to Secretary Li Yongbo's proposal to send a car to pick him up.

Not long after Secretary Xu's family left in the morning, Wu Hao's cell phone ringing immediately. Wu Hao took out his cell phone from his pocket. When he saw that the caller ID on it was Secretary Li Yongbo's mobile phone number, he quickly put the phone in his ear. Before he could speak, Secretary Li Yongbo's congratulations came from the phone: "Secretary General Wu! Good luck in the Year of the Pig! I wish you progress in your work, good luck in the new year, and happiness in your family."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao replied politely: "Someone told me to look at the sky when I miss home, look at the moon when I miss my mother, look at the distance when I miss my good friends, but I don't know what I should look at when I miss you. Now I finally know, I just need to look at the pigpen. Finally, I wish you a happy Year of the Pig! All the best! Good health in the new year! Success in your career! Sesame blossoms gradually."

"Haha!" As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, Secretary Li Yongbo laughed at the other end of the phone: "Secretary General Wu! I have been brewing in my heart for a long time before I came up with those few wishes. Unexpectedly, you are a perfect expression. You are worthy of being a top student at Huaxia University, Secretary Wu! I am now outside the gate of the Municipal Party Committee’s living area. When are you going to leave for Anfu City?"

Wu Hao didn't expect Secretary Li Yongbo to pick him up in person. When he heard Secretary Li Yongbo's words, he immediately replied: "Secretary Li! Why did you come to pick me up in person! This really surprised me. It seems that I am not too polite to you. Since this is the case, I will not be polite. I can leave at any time. Why don't you let the car come in and I go back to the dormitory and then we will set off back to Anfu City immediately."

"Okay! Then I'll wait under your dormitory building." Secretary Li Yongbo heard Wu Hao's words and replied with a smile.

Wu Hao said goodbye to Li Yongbo, and immediately went upstairs and took the clothes Jiang Yu bought for Nian Qian and his parents. When he was about to go out, Secretary Li Yongbo suddenly knew how to smoke, so he turned around and walked to the cabinet, took out two Chinese cigarettes from it, and took one of the two special Chinese cigarettes given to him by Mr. Xu, put them in a bag, locked the door of the dormitory and walked downstairs hurriedly.

Wu Hao walked downstairs and saw Secretary Li Yongbo standing next to the No. 1 car of Anfu Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Li smiled and greeted him with a smile, "Secretary General Wu! What good things are you sending home?"

Wu Hao reached out and shook hands with Secretary Li Yongbo, and said with a smile: "Secretary Li! You are a parent official, and you are older than me. You can say the name of Secretary Wu Xiao’s name, which sounds awkward, so you can call me Xiao Wu in private!"

When Li Yongbo heard Wu Hao's words, his eyes flashed with praise, and he said with a smile: "Since you said that, then when there is no one in the future, I will call you Xiao Wu."

Wu Hao smiled when he heard this, remembered the things in his hand, and said to Secretary Xu: "Secretary Xu! I heard that you are quite addicted to smoking, and I don't smoke much. It just so happened that someone gave me a few good cigarettes during the Chinese New Year. It took up space for me to take up space. Why not give it to you to help me remove it?"

Because Wu Hao is from Anfu City, and Li Yongbo is the secretary of Anfu City's party committee. Because of this relationship, in the past, Secretary Li would go to his office to attend meetings in the city. Over time, the relationship between the two gradually improved. There was no restraint in speaking. He even often joked. Therefore, Secretary Li said this to Wu Hao, with a bright smile on his face and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing for me this time. Xiao Wu! Although cigarettes are harmful to health, I like to put my friends in the most. If someone else gives you cigarettes in the future, you will send them to me. I will use my own body to help digest all your cigarettes. But I said this in the front. If it is not a good cigarette, I won't let you put it in the middle!"

Speaking of this, Secretary Li opened the bag in front of Wu Hao and saw three Chinese cigarettes inside. One of them was white packaging with two special offer words written on it. His eyes lit up and asked Wu Hao with a smile: "Secretary General Wu! You are not kind. Since you want me to help you digest these cigarettes, you should just order them all out. You should have more than one Chinese cigarette for your special offer, right? Everyone said good things are in pairs. For my personal visit, you have to bring the other one to me, right?"

Wu Hao didn't smoke at all. Although he knew that the special cigarettes should be relatively high-end, he didn't know that the so-called special cigarettes were specially supplied to the central leaders. The special Huaxia cigarettes Wu Hao gave to Li Yongbo were asked for ten from the vice chairman with shamelessness. If Mr. Xu hadn't liked Wu Hao, he wouldn't have given two of them to Wu Hao, so there was no way to buy this cigarette in the market. Secretary Li Yongbo was considered an authentic cigarette. When a smoker saw such good cigarettes, it was like a mouse seeing rice, and his eyes were full of greed.

Wu Hao looked at Secretary Li's greedy look and said with a smile: "Secretary Li! Do you think I run a cigarette factory? I heard that such cigarettes are very difficult to buy, so I gave them to you. If you want a red-packaged Chinese cigarette, I still have a few more, but I really don't have this one."

"No! Xiao Wu! Who are you lying to?" Secretary Li Yongbo didn't believe Wu Hao's words at all. He looked like a hippie and smiled on his face. He bargained with Wu Hao: "Xiao Wu! I have two bottles of Maotai wine that I have been there for thirty years, which were left by my father-in-law. I have been left with me for many years and have been reluctant to drink it. How about I exchange those two bottles of wine for your special cigarette?"

Although Wu Hao is not sure how much the cigarette is worth, Wu Hao knows how much Moutai liquor worth for thirty years. According to Secretary Li, it was left by his father-in-law, which means that the wine has been left for more than thirty years. Secretary Li actually exchanged this wine with himself to cigarettes, indicating the value of the cigarette. Thinking of this, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Secretary Li! Since you said that, just return the special offer I just gave you. I will get four of them upstairs, and it will be exactly six of them together, and it will be a good idea to make a good fortune."
