With Bai Jie here, the meal was very relaxed. The three of them talked and laughed. The food was good and they drank wine openly. Although after drinking last time, Cao Xiaoan knew that Ye Shaofeng was even extraordinary, but today he also opened up and drank openly. Ye Shaofeng drank and considered himself risking his life.
In business dinners, drinking is very important, but in official dinners, the requirements for drinking are not so high. Especially, when two people who want to be in the same camp eat together, they will not put each other in the eyes. It was poured into death.
Bai Jie also drank some wine, her face was rosy, her eyes were blurry, and she looked even more charming. She was worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the provincial government. Although, after Zhu Yanli came to the provincial capital this time, Bai Jie, the most beautiful woman, Beauty's beauty status is a bit shaken, but after all, she is younger than Zhu Yanli, and due to her position, she is much more approachable than Zhu Yanli. Others are more relaxed and happy when interacting with Bai Jie than with Zhu Yanli. many.
After almost eating and drinking just the right amount of wine, Cao Xiaoan felt that it was time to show off his cards and said: "Governor Ye, I want to treat you to a drink this time. Actually, I want to talk to you about something that is on my mind."
Bai Jie took a look and said quickly: "Since the two leaders want to chat, shouldn't I avoid it?" After saying that, she stood up.
Cao Xiaoan quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay. I know that you, Secretary Bai, and Governor Ye are our own people, so it doesn't matter to you if you listen to this."
"Since Secretary Cao said so, just sit here and let's see if Secretary Cao has anything to say from the bottom of his heart," Ye Shaofeng said.
"Ye Shaofeng, I think... I want to join the gang," Cao Xiaoan said.
"What kind of fire do you get into when you join the gang?" Ye Shaofeng asked doubtfully.
"You haven't heard this yet. What Secretary Cao means is that he wants to be in the same camp as us," Bai Jie said.
In fact, Ye Shaofeng had already heard what Cao Xiaoan meant by what he said. He deliberately tried to hide it, so that Cao Xiaoan could speak more clearly. Only Cao Xiaoan could break through this layer of window paper, and Ye Shaofeng could break it. Continue on.
Cao Xiaoan quickly continued what Bai Jie said: "Yes, what I mean is what Secretary Bai just said, I think, I want to be on your side,"
"Secretary Cao, don't say anything casually. Our provincial government is like a family. We are all working together in a good direction. You are in your camp and I am in my camp. You can't start internal strife here. ,"
After Ye Shaofeng said this, Cao Xiaoan felt half cold, thinking to himself, what did Ye Shaofeng mean? His previous attitude towards him was obviously to win over him, but now that he said such words, was this a rejection?
Cao Xiaoan looked at Ye Shaofeng with a puzzled look. Bai Jie stopped talking at this time, because she didn't know what kind of attitude Ye Shaofeng had towards this Cao Xiaoan. Before, in Bai Jie's view, he did He had the intention to win over Cao Xiaoan to join the gang. Why did Cao Xiaoan take the initiative to join the camp now? Why did he start to set up a trap for others? Could it be that the last time Cao Xiaoan's sister came to make trouble in the office, Ye Shaofeng held a grudge. However, with Bai Jie Knowing Ye Shaofeng, Ye Shaofeng should not be the kind of person who thinks that trivial things will affect this plan.
Ye Shaofeng continued: "Secretary Cao, I am very touched by your recognition of me and your love for me. But now, Governor Tang can't live without people. If, if I transfer you to What would Governor Tang think if you come to me? If that's the case, wouldn't it be that he took the initiative to provoke a conflict between me and Governor Tang? Besides, it has been Governor Tang who has single-handedly controlled you for so many years. You have been trained well, you can’t just let down the hard work Governor Tang has put into you,”
The more Cao Xiaoan listened, the more confused he became, but he knew that Ye Shaofeng was not rejecting him. There was definitely something in his words just now, but he couldn't understand the hidden meaning now. He said: "Governor Ye, I... I'm a bit stupid, you...can you give your instructions more clearly?"
"Secretary Cao, I pretend I didn't hear what you said just now. I hope you won't say such words in the future. If outsiders hear this, it will have an impact on you. So-called It doesn’t matter whose camp you are on. What is important is that you have to know who you are doing things for. Although you are working for Governor Tang, it does not mean that you even stay with him. , you can understand this," Ye Shaofeng said.
Cao Xiaoan suddenly realized at this moment, he finally understood what Ye Shaofeng said. He had thought too simply before, thinking that as long as Ye Shaofeng used his connections and transferred him to work in Ye Shaofeng's office, he would be considered a member of Ye Shaofeng's camp. , and also let others know that he is Ye Shaofeng's man.
But Ye Shaofeng's last words made it clear to him that Cao Xiaoan understood that if he stood in Ye Shaofeng's camp, he did not necessarily have to work beside Ye Shaofeng. He could even continue to stay in Ye Shaofeng's camp without having to do things for Ye Shaofeng. When it comes to Tang Aimin, he doesn't need to tell anyone whose position he stands on, as long as Cao Xiaoan knows in his heart that he is Ye Shaofeng's person.
Bai Jie also understood. She also knew what Ye Shaofeng's real purpose was in wooing this Cao Xiaoan. He actually wanted Cao Xiaoan to work as an undercover agent next to Tang Aimin. Cao Xiaoan was Tang Aimin's secretary, and Tang Aimin had always treated him as an undercover agent. Focus on training, with him by Tang Aimin's side, he can know many things about Tang Aimin, and even know Tang Aimin's next move. Cao Xiaoan's greatest value to Ye Shaofeng at present is that he can monitor Tang Aimin. Ye Shaofeng just wanted this Cao Xiaoan to be his undercover agent.
After understanding Ye Shaofeng's intention, Cao Xiaoan smiled, nodded repeatedly, then raised his cup and said: "Governor Ye, I understand what you mean. What I just said was all nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I know what I should do in the future, and I offer you this glass of wine. I hope that we can all prosper in the future." As he said that, Cao Xiao'an drank the glass of wine happily, and Ye Shaofeng also raised his neck and drank it.
After the dinner, Ye Shaofeng and Bai Jie said goodbye to Cao Xiaoan at the door of the hotel, and then Ye Shaofeng drove Bai Jie home first.
Bai Jie now lives in an apartment building behind the provincial government. Secretary Bai Jie lives on a higher-level floor. Zhu Yanli, who is new here, has no house in the provincial capital and is currently living in this apartment temporarily. , but the residence she lives in is the most upscale presidential suite in this apartment building...
