Qiao Liang immediately began to worry. He had just agreed to Li Youwei, and Zhang Haitao came with such a notice again. What should he do?
Zhang Haitao wants to have dinner with everyone tonight. Qiao Liang understands it very well. He has just arrived and wants to get acquainted with everyone through dinner and deepen their relationship. This is very necessary.
However, Li Youwei had already agreed, so it was difficult to change his mind, and he was unwilling to lie to Li Youwei, saying that An Zhe had something to do tonight.
What's more, from the bottom of his heart, Qiao Liang wanted to go to Li Youwei's place, but Zhang Haitao specifically asked to go by himself, showing that he valued him, and he also knew that An Zhe had no plans for the evening. If he didn't go,
It seems very impolite, disrespectful to Zhang Haitao, and disrespectful of praise. Once Zhang Haitao has an opinion of himself because of this, it will obviously be very detrimental to him, his work, and getting along with Zhang Haitao in the future.
relation.
Once Qiao Liang decided to go to Li Youwei's side, he didn't want to change.
But Zhang Haitao needs to handle it well. Eating may seem like a small matter, but at this time, the meal is actually very important.
Qiao Liang thought about it for a long time and then went to Zhang Haitao's office.
Opening the door, Zhang Haitao was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
"Secretary-General Zhang..." Qiao Liang said.
When Zhang Haitao saw Qiao Liang, he put down the newspaper and waved affectionately: "Xiao Qiao, come in."
Qiao Liang entered, Zhang Haitao pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit--"
Qiao Liang sat down and looked at Zhang Haitao: "Secretary-General Zhang, I just received a notice that there is a dinner party in the office tonight..."
"Yes, I just arrived at the municipal party committee office. I wanted to have a meal with everyone and get to know each other better. I thought that Secretary An had no arrangements tonight, so I asked them to notify you to participate." Zhang Haitao said.
"Thank you, Secretary-General Zhang." Qiao Liang nodded and scratched his head, "It's just that Secretary-General Zhang, I can't make it through tonight..."
"Huh? What? Secretary An is temporarily busy again?" Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang shook his head: "Secretary An has nothing to do tonight. I have made a reservation for a private dinner."
"Oh..." Zhang Haitao blinked and looked at Qiao Liang and smiled, "It seems that I am one step behind. Your private dinner is very important?"
Seeing that Zhang Haitao didn't look unhappy, Qiao Liang felt a little relieved and continued: "Ordinarily, Secretary-General Zhang's dinner should be the most important, but from another perspective, my private dinner is really hard to avoid..."
"Oh, so the person who invited you to dinner is more important to you than me?" Zhang Haitao continued to smile.
Qiao Liang said: "From a work perspective, of course you are the most important, but from a personal perspective, I have already made a promise to the old leader, and it is difficult to change my mind again."
"Old leader? Could it be Secretary Xu?" Zhang Haitao asked.
Qiao Liang hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, it's my old boss from the newspaper office."
"Your old leader from the newspaper office..." Zhang Haitao thought for a moment, "could it be Li Youwei?"
"Yes, it's him." Qiao Liang nodded.
Zhang Haitao frowned: "Li Youwei has left officialdom and switched to the business world. He is of no use to you anymore. Why do you still attach so much importance to the dinner with him? It is even more important than my dinner. Is this necessary?"
Upon hearing Zhang Haitao's words, Qiao Liang felt unhappy. Why did this guy speak so snobbishly? It was so inconsistent with his image in his eyes.
Qiao Liang said lightly: "Secretary Zhang, Secretary Li has cultivated me. Without Secretary Li, I might still be working in the small county of Sanjiang. You can't forget your roots. In my heart, Secretary Li is my forever boss."
Leader, no matter what he does now. Also, precisely because Secretary Li is no longer in the officialdom, I must go to his dinner..."
"Okay, that's good!" Before Qiao Liang could finish speaking, Zhang Haitao interrupted Qiao Liang, then reached out and slapped Qiao Liang on the shoulder, startling Qiao Liang.
Then Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang with admiration: "Xiao Qiao, I have long heard that you are a compassionate and righteous man. It seems to be true today. You can be so respectful to the down-and-out old leader. This shows your quality and
You have excellent character, which is really rare. This aspect of you makes me admire you with admiration."
Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Haitao and blinked. This guy changed so quickly. It seemed that he was deliberately testing himself just now.
Once he understood this, Qiao Liang felt relieved and immediately changed his impression of Zhang Haitao.
Zhang Haitao then said cheerfully: "Okay, no problem, you can go to Li Youwei's dinner party tonight. We are together every day, and we have many opportunities to eat, and tonight is not the least of them. Also, I am very fond of Li Youwei after he switched to the business world.
I admire his actions very much. This guy is a capable man. When you see him tonight, say hello to him for me..."
Upon hearing Zhang Haitao's words, Qiao Liang immediately had a good impression of Zhang Haitao, and felt that Zhang Haitao was generous and broad-minded, which was much better than Qin Chuan.
Qiao Liang hurriedly expressed his thanks and said: "Secretary-General Zhang, are you familiar with Secretary Li?"
Zhang Haitao nodded: "Yes, I worked in Sanjiang in my early years. At that time, Li Youwei was still working as a secretary in the county party committee office. We often interacted with each other at that time. Later, as our respective jobs changed, we contacted less, although not often.
Contact, but I have been paying attention to him. If this guy had not unexpectedly failed in the officialdom, he would definitely be doing well now..."
Hearing what Zhang Haitao said, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel more fond of him, and even got a little close to him.
Zhang Haitao continued: "Xiao Qiao, I heard that you are still calling Li Youwei your old post. It seems that you have a deep affection for him."
"Yes, the relationship is very deep. I am used to calling him Laozhi." Qiao Liang said.
Zhang Haitao patted Qiao Liang's shoulder and said with emotion: "These days, there are endless things to do in the world, and people take tea to cool off. Xiao Qiao, it's great that you can do this. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."
Qiao Liang subconsciously said: "Secretary-General Zhang, you are so understanding of your subordinates and so tolerant and generous. I admire you very much and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Haitao was startled, then laughed, and patted Qiao Liang's shoulder: "You kid, I've long heard that you are very interesting when talking, and it's really like this. Okay, I'm honored that you appreciate me."
Qiao Liang grinned and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Then Zhang Haitao said with great interest: "Xiao Qiao, have you ever admired the boss so much in private?"
Qiao Liang blinked and then realized that the boss Zhang Haitao was talking about was Secretary An, and shook his head.
"Why, did you not find the opportunity, or did you dare not?" Zhang Haitao said.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and couldn't say he didn't dare, otherwise Zhang Haitao would feel that he was despising him. "An Zhe, if you don't dare, I will. What do you mean?"
So Qiao Liang said vaguely: "It should be the former."
Zhang Haitao laughed again after hearing this.
Seeing Zhang Haitao smiling so naturally, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel that although Zhang Haitao looked polite, he had a straightforward personality. Such a leader would be easy to get along with and deal with.
But Qiao Liang also knows that as a high-level leader, Zhang Haitao should be frank when he should be frank, and he should be cautious when he should be cautious. It depends on the occasion and the person.
A true master is the one who can retract and release freely at any time.
