Just when Zhang Hongtao was hesitating about how to respond to Liu Haotian's words, Zhang Hongfu came over with a smile: "Mayor Liu, welcome, welcome, warm welcome, please come inside."
When Zhang Hongfu said this, Zhang Hongtao also smiled and said: "Mayor Liu, please come inside, our Minister Li has been waiting for you for a long time."
Liu Haotian smiled and followed the two brothers Zhang Hongtao and Zhang Hongfu inside. After arriving inside, Zhang Hongtao introduced Li Jiang and Liu Haotian with a smile.
With a smile on his face, Liu Haotian stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Minister Li."
As he spoke, Liu Haotian acted very respectfully.
Li Jiang secretly laughed in his heart. Liu Haotian obviously wanted to trick people again, so he cooperated with Liu Haotian and said slightly reservedly: "Mayor Liu, you are a little late this time. Although we don't drink, we can't
The penalty is three drinks of wine, but the penalty is three drinks of water, you can’t refuse.”
Liu Haotian said quickly: "It's okay to drink water."
After everyone chatted for a few more words, they came to sit down at the dining table next to them.
Zhang Hongtao smiled and was bought three cups of scalding tea by Liu Haotian, and said with a smile: "Mayor Liu, we just agreed that you will be punished with three cups of water. You shouldn't cheat on it, right?"
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Vice Minister Zhang, I think three cups is too little. Otherwise, I will punish you with 8 cups of water. You just said the wrong thing and ignored the requirements in the 8 regulations. Logically speaking, you should also
You are fined 8 cups of water, and you are the leader of the province. I respect you. If you are fined 8 cups of water, just give me 4 cups of water. You drink one cup first, and I will drink two cups. What do you think?"
While speaking, Liu Haotian looked at Zhang Hongtao with provocation in his eyes.
A vein popped up on Zhang Hongtao's forehead, and he felt a little sad and angry. He didn't expect that Liu Haotian would be so sharp in his speech, and his skills as a stir-up stick were top-notch. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a good excuse.
At this time, Zhang Hongfu immediately smoothed things over: "Mayor Liu, my brother just made a joke with you. Come, eat food, eat food."
Liu Haotian smiled and said no more.
After three rounds of tea and five dishes, Zhang Hongtao suddenly smiled and looked at Liu Haotian and said: "Mayor Liu, I heard that your Dongping City has been having problems in the field of publicity recently. Dongping City has been on the hot searches one after another, and the negative effects are very obvious.
I wonder if your Dongping City has any good solutions to this problem?"
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Vice Minister Zhang's words confused me. I really don't know if there are any problems in the propaganda direction of our eastward trip. Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no problems. There will even be problems for a while.
, Our Dongping City is indeed at the forefront of public opinion, but those situations are the result of my intentional actions, or even my deliberate connivance.
Because if we, Dongping City, want to develop, we must not take the usual path. We must find ways to recommend our Dongping City and let people all over the country know about our Dongping City.
Therefore, even though we have been plagued by negative news, our Dongping City still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. Despite the ups and downs, our Dongping City has begun to develop in an all-round way.
The reason why our Dongping City is able to get on the right track so quickly is that the negative news that Vice Minister Zhang mentioned is exactly what our Dongping City is taking credit for.
Vice Minister Zhang, please remember that negative news is not terrible, public relations failure is the most terrible thing.
Really good public relations and truly good publicity leadership can take advantage of the situation and turn corruption into magic.
At this point, you have to learn more from Minister Li.
Minister Li, do you think so?"
Li Jiang smiled and nodded, looked at Zhang Hongtao and said, "Old Zhang, you really need to learn from Mayor Liu on this point.
Although you are very good at presiding over the daily work of our department, you must learn from Mayor Liu in the field of dealing with public opinion crises."
After Li Jiang finished speaking, Zhang Hongtao, Zhang Hongfu and Zeng Laosan were all dumbfounded.
None of them expected that Li Jiang would support Liu Haotian's opinion.
Zhang Hongtao looked even more confused.
He knows very well that in the Propaganda Department, although Minister Li Jiang usually smiles, he is very clear in his heart. Every time there is a meeting, Minister Li Jiang will let him focus on speaking. There is no doubt that he values him.
.
This made him feel a little dizzy.
There was even one time when a deputy minister of the Organization Department criticized Zhang Hongtao during a meeting. Although Li Jiang said nothing at the time, in a subsequent meeting, Li Jiang directly named the deputy minister by name.
Several mistakes at work embarrassed the deputy minister and made him the laughing stock of the provincial party committee.
Later, he had to apply for transfer from the provincial party committee.
In Zhang Hongtao's view, Li Jiang is his backer, and his relationship with him is as close as a brother.
However, he never expected that Li Jiang would actually support Liu Haotian after Liu Haotian only made a small counterattack against him.
What the hell is going on?
At this moment, Li Jiang said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Hongtao, I'll let you spend the money tonight. I think everyone has almost eaten, so we'll call it a night."
Zhang Hongtao nodded stiffly and said quickly: "Okay, okay, listen to Minister Li."
Everyone stood up one after another.
Liu Haotian was the first to stand up and walk out. At this moment, Li Jiang took a few steps, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Haotian. Then he took out his lighter and lit it for Liu Haotian himself.
Got cigarettes.
The whole action was completed in one go, leaving everyone present dumbfounded and almost petrified on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hongtao felt his head buzzing. Although everything was really happening in front of him, he felt that this scene was so illusory and that none of it should be real.
But when he pinched his thigh hard and looked intently, all of this was so real.
At this moment, Li Jiang suddenly said something that made all of them feel like they were struck by lightning.
Li Jiang said to Liu Haotian: "Old leader, what do you think of the smell of the cigarettes in our hometown?"
Liu Haotian took a few deep breaths, tasted it with his eyes closed, and then said with a smile: "It's not bad."
Li Jiang said quickly: "Okay, I will send you a few messages right away.
Old leader, when you come to Jincheng this time, are you here for the dinner tonight? This is not your style."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "I made an appointment with Governor Cao this afternoon. I plan to go to his house to have a cup of tea tonight and report on the relevant work in Dongping City. How about you go too?"
Li Jiang said quickly: "Okay, no problem. Governor Cao seems to be dissatisfied with the work of our Propaganda Department recently. I have to explain it to Governor Cao."
Afterwards, Liu Haotian and Li Jiang left talking and laughing.
Zhang Hongtao was completely dumbfounded. Looking at the leaving figures of Liu Haotian and Li Jiang, he felt like he was sweating several times.
Zeng Laosan was completely confused.
He felt his head was buzzing. He never dreamed that Li Jiang would take the initiative to light a cigarette for Liu Haotian. You know, General Li is more than one level higher than Liu Haotian. He is a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
And Liu Haotian is just a small mayor.
Is there any more ridiculous joke in the world than this?
But all of this actually happened in front of him, making him feel that he had a strong illusion about his understanding of the world.
At this time, the most depressed person was Zhang Hongfu.
Originally, Zhang Hongfu thought that he could help Zeng Laosan take advantage of Li Jiang's power to implement the strategy of a fox pretending to be a tiger's power, and severely frightening Liu Haotian, but he did not expect that the relationship between Liu Haotian and Li Jiang turned out to be far beyond his expectation.
He also didn't expect that Liu Haotian was actually Li Jiang's old leader, and judging from Li Jiang's appearance, he seemed to respect Liu Haotian very much.
What made Zhang Hongfu even more unexpected was that Liu Haotian had just said in front of all of them that he was going to Governor Cao's house to have tea tonight, and that he could take Li Jiang there without asking.
Zhang Hongfu will not miss this detail. From this detail, he can deduce a lot of things.
This at least shows that the relationship between Liu Haotian and Governor Cao is unusual. You must know that it is already past 8:30 in the evening. At this time, if you want to go to the home of the provincial leader, especially the home of Governor Cao, the feudal official,
Even Shen Zhiwei may not be able to do it.
But Liu Haotian made an appointment in advance and planned to take Li Jiang there. This only shows that the relationship between Liu Haotian and Governor Cao is unusual.
Isn't Liu Haotian alone in Dongping City?
Could it be that Governor Cao is Liu Haotian’s hidden backer?
You know, he heard Wang Fuguo say that Liu Haotian had no backers in the province at all, he was just a mere commander, and his transfer this time was purely accidental.
But now, Liu Haotian suddenly revealed the tip of the iceberg of his connections, but he was so shocked. Is what Liu Haotian said true or false?
If it is false, Li Jiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, is real. He has no reason to cooperate with Liu Haotian in acting.
But if this is true, Wang Fuguo has sworn to him that he got the information from Minister Zhu, and this news should not be false. Unless Wang Fuguo is bragging to him.
Suddenly, Zhang Hongfu felt that his world was turned upside down.
He looked at Zeng Laosan next to him, and he could see deep disappointment and pain in Zeng Laosan's face.
Zhang Hongfu immediately understood that Zeng Laosan was feeling sorry for the 12 million yuan he paid to him.
Zhang Hongfu is very shrewd. He knows that although Zeng Laosan looks very generous and generous on the surface, including to his subordinates, in fact, Zeng Laosan is the kind of man who can calculate his opponent to death.
Every penny spent will be returned 10 times.
If the relationship between Liu Haotian and Li Jiang was not so unexpected today, Zeng Laosan could even get in touch with Li Jiang through today's dinner party, and at the same time, he could use Li Jiang's power to suppress Liu Haotian's possible powerful offensive against him.
If nothing goes wrong, Zeng Laosan will definitely be the biggest winner of this evening's banquet.
However, the relationship between Liu Haotian and Li Jiang was so unexpected that Zeng Laosan became the biggest loser tonight.
Zhang Hongfu secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he liked to leave a way out for himself when doing things. Fortunately, he and Zeng Laosan had made it clear early on that their mission was to prepare today's dinner, and they were not responsible for the subsequent results, and Zeng Laosan
The third child has also agreed and confirmed.
Zhang Hongfu thought about it in his mind, and he knew very well that although Zeng Laosan was very low-key, he definitely did not like to suffer losses, so he rolled his eyes and took it into consideration.
I'm very sorry, I forgot to update the settings yesterday. I'll make up for today's post and I'll add another chapter tomorrow!
