After hanging up the phone, Zeng Laosan said with a sneer: "This Zhang Hongfu is really an old fox. He keeps claiming that I am the boss in front of me, but calls me Boss Zeng or President Zeng in front of others. He is willing to help me."
He comes up with ideas but is unwilling to take responsibility. This old guy gets all the benefits but keeps all the responsibilities and disadvantages separate from him!
As expected of a lawyer, you are so shrewd!"
After Zhang Hongfu hung up the phone, he smiled proudly.
As the owner of a law firm, Zhang Hongfu graduated from the prestigious University of Political Science and Law. He has been in the society for so many years and is able to handle various interpersonal relationships with ease.
Although he will help Zeng Laosan and his Zeng Group handle various legal cases, he is very smart, that is, he will never take a murder case. He cannot guarantee that he can win every other case, but
He can guarantee that when the core interests of Zeng Laosan's company are involved, he will use his greatest ability to protect Zeng Laosan's interests without touching the legal bottom line.
Because Zhang Hongfu knows very well that in Dongping City, if you want to make legal money, working as a legal consultant and legal service for Zeng Laosan's company is the most profitable, but it is also the riskiest.
After Zhang Hongfu's law firm was first opened in Dongping City, he directly helped Zeng Laosan's opponents win three cases of Zeng Laosan one after another, and thus established his reputation. Moreover, the three cases he won were all
Accepted by three of the most famous law firms in Dongping City.
It is precisely because of these three cases that Zhang Hongfu's law firm established a firm foothold in Dongping City. At the same time, it also entered Zeng Laosan's field of vision, and obtained the legal representation rights of Zeng Laosan's company at a very high price, and
As a result, he became the industry leader of Dongping City Law Firm.
However, Zhang Hongfu knew in his heart that something would happen to Zeng Laosan sooner or later. Therefore, while serving Zeng Laosan, he did not forget to cut off the relationship between his company and Zeng Laosan at any time, especially between himself and Zeng Laosan.
The relationship between.
At 6:40 in the evening, Zeng Laosan and Zhang Hongfu arrived at the reserved room 302 of the Triumph Hotel!
This is one of the best private rooms in the Triumph Hotel.
At this moment, neither Zhang Hongtao nor Li Jiang came yet. Zeng Laosan looked directly at the waiter and asked: "Which is the best private room here?"
The waiter smiled and said: "The best private room is Room 301."
Zeng Laosan immediately frowned: "Is there anyone in private room 301 now?"
The waiter shook his head: "No one."
"Give us a private room. Just room 301."
The waiter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have the right to change it for you."
Zeng Laosan's face turned dark at that moment: "Who has the right?"
"If you want to use private room 301, you have to ask our general manager."
"Then call your general manager over to me!" Zeng Laosan's aura was so strong that the waiter's legs were shaking with fear. He could only use the intercom to tell his immediate boss to call the general manager over.
Zeng Laosan said directly: "Change the private room for us into private room 301."
The general manager shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, all 301 private rooms in our Triumph Hotel are not open to the public!"
Zeng Laosan's face suddenly darkened: "The person we are hosting today are the leaders of the provincial party committee."
The general manager smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, please don't embarrass me. Private rooms 301 in all our Triumph Hotels across the country are not open to the public. I hope you can understand."
After hearing this, Zeng Laosan could only give up.
At this moment, Zhang Hongfu suddenly asked: "Brother, can I ask, who is this private room reserved for?"
The general manager hesitated for a moment. He knew that the identity of the person who booked the private room tonight was unusual, so after hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "It's reserved for Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Liu? How old are you? What's your name?" Zeng Laosan asked.
This time, the general manager refused to say another word.
At this moment, Zhang Hongfu's cell phone rang. It was a message from his elder brother Zhang Hongtao, which meant that he and Li Jiang had set off.
Zhang Hongfu said directly to Zeng Laosan: "Boss, let's go downstairs to greet him."
Zeng Laosan nodded.
The main reason why Zeng Laosan was able to survive in such a severe situation of fighting gangs and eradicating evil until now is that he understood clearly that people in power must be given sufficient respect.
At 6:55 in the evening, Li Jiang, accompanied by Zhang Hongtao, got out of the car. Zhang Hongfu and Zeng Laosan quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Li Jiang enthusiastically.
Several people walked into the private room talking and laughing.
After entering the private room, everyone started chatting. As for the food, Zhang Hongfu and Zeng Laosan had already ordered it, and Zhang Hongtao had also told Zhang Hongfu the food Li Jiang liked.
So Zhang Hongfu never makes mistakes in these details.
However, everyone was not in a hurry to eat, but drank tea first and started chatting.
Zhang Hongtao took advantage of the opportunity to chat and said to Li Jiang: "Minister Li, Dongping Mayor Liu Haotian attaches great importance to publicity work, so he will come over for today's gathering soon.
But it looks like I’m going to be late.”
Zhang Hongtao spoke very skillfully. He made it clear that Liu Haotian would come, but did not clearly explain why Liu Haotian would come. At the same time, he gave Liu Haotian eye drops by describing that Liu Haotian would be late.
This is the skill of speaking and doing things.
When Li Jiang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "There is still some distance from Dongping City to Jincheng City. Is it understandable to be late?"
This is a typical official saying.
Different people can have different interpretations.
Li Jiang's words stopped in Zhang Hongtao's ears. He felt that Li Jiang must be dissatisfied with Liu Haotian. After all, Li Jiang was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. It was a bit embarrassing for such a heavyweight to wait for a mayor.
Of course, Li Jiang would not show too much dissatisfaction, after all, he still had to maintain a generous image.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Liu Haotian did not come, Zhang Hongfu began to report his ideas to Li Jiang. Li Jiang fully affirmed this and arranged for Zhang Hongtao to be responsible for connecting with Zhang Hongfu, and he must do a good job in publicity work.
Zhang Hongfu also finished his work report, and there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Hongtao looked at the time. It was already 7:11. He stood up and walked over to open the door. Liu Haotian was standing outside the door.
Zhang Hongtao shook hands with Liu Haotian: "Mayor Liu, you are late today. Shouldn't you be fined with three drinks?"
Zhang Hongtao said this in a joking tone, but if Liu Haotian really agreed, he might really have to drink three drinks as a penalty.
This is the shrewdness of Zhang Hongtao. He speaks with a degree of relaxation and always puts himself in a dominant position.
At this moment, Zeng Laosan started talking to Li Jiang non-stop, and kept laughing while talking. He wanted to use this method to show the good relationship between him and Li Jiang.
He just wanted to put on a show for Liu Haotian.
After Liu Haotian entered the door, he shook hands with Zhang Hongtao and glanced at Li Jiang and Zeng Laosan who were sitting on the sofa inside.
Li Jiang and Liu Haotian looked at each other, as if they were planning to get up and come to greet him, but Liu Haotian winked at Li Jiang and shook his head slightly.
Li Jiang has worked under Liu Haotian for a long time, and his cooperation with Liu Haotian has been flawless.
Li Jiang is also one of the few Liu Haotian's direct descendants who knows Liu Haotian's true identity. In addition, Liu Haotian has helped him greatly in his official career. If it weren't for Liu Haotian's strong recommendation, I'm afraid Li Jiang would never have the chance to cross the border.
He went to Jixiang Province to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee.
Therefore, after Li Jiang saw Liu Haotian's eyes, he continued to talk to Zeng Laosan. He had a vague feeling that there would be something good to watch today.
Liu Haotian shook hands with Zhang Hongtao and said with a smile: "I mean, Vice Minister Zhang, what you said is wrong."
Zhang Hongtao deliberately showed doubts on his face: "What's wrong? Please ask Mayor Liu for advice."
Liu Haotian shook his head: "Don't take advice seriously, let's just have a simple exchange. I wonder if Vice Minister Zhang has understood whether the documents issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in recent years are in your subconscious mind.
Let’s be clear, we leading cadres cannot accept dinner invitations from business people for no reason, let alone drink during the working day. Especially we cannot drink at dinners hosted by business people.”
After Liu Haotian said this, Zhang Hongtao felt a little embarrassed. He did not expect that Liu Haotian would dare to disrupt the dinner in this situation.
However, Zhang Hongtao naturally couldn't let Liu Haotian catch the handle, so he explained with a smile: "Mayor Liu, you really misunderstood this time. I am the host of today's meal, so this is nothing
A banquet for business people.
As for drinking, we are not communicating with each other as business people, but a gathering among friends, and it doesn’t hurt to have a few drinks."
Liu Haotian smiled and shook his head: "If it is Vice Minister Zhang's treat, there is no problem with eating, but drinking, I think it is unnecessary, at least I don't want to give the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection a reason to criticize me.
As a department-level cadre, I still have to set an example.
After all, in Dongping City, there are so many cadres and people looking at me from top to bottom. If Vice Minister Zhang doesn’t care, you can naturally have a drink with others, but I won’t do it. I, Liu Haotian, still like to keep myself clean."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Zhang Hongtao's face suddenly turned as dark as ink, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
Now he can no longer get off stage.
Liu Haotian's words made it very difficult for him to accept.
