This is the special car that An Zhe took before, and the driver was Zhao Qiang.
After Anzhe was transferred, there was no one in his special car. Occasionally, the assigned staff used it when they went out to do errands, and most of the time they were free.
The special car was idle, and Zhao Qiang was naturally very leisurely.
It was not that Luo Fei had never thought about changing his car to Anzhe's car, but when he thought that he was still in charge, it was somewhat inappropriate to sit in the top leader's car, so he decided to endure it, and when he straightened himself up, he could legitimately sit in this car. By the way,
Replace Zhao Qiang with his own driver.
Zhang Haitao told Qiao Liang to send a car to pick him up. Qiao Liang did not expect that this car was sent. He had ridden in this car countless times when he followed An Zhe, but since An Zhe was transferred, he never had the chance again.
I didn't expect to ride again today.
Seeing that Qiao Liang was in a daze, Zhao Qiang rolled down the window and smiled at him: "Mr. Qiao, get in the car."
Qiao Liang nodded, walked around the front of the car, and just as he habitually opened the front door, Zhang Haitao's voice came from the car: "Come to the back."
Because the window glass was dark, Qiao Liang didn't see Zhang Haitao sitting in the back just now, and then he realized that he was sitting where An Zhe once sat.
Qiao Liang closed the front door, then opened the rear door and got in: "Secretary-General, it turns out you are in the car."
"Yes, I will personally pick up Deputy County Chief Qiao to go to dinner." Zhang Haitao said seriously.
Qiao Liang laughed: "The secretary-general doesn't dare to say that, I can't bear it."
Zhang Haitao smiled slightly and then said to Zhao Qiang: "Let's go to the hotel."
Zhao Qiang agreed to start the car.
Qiao Liang then asked Zhang Haitao where he went to eat. Zhang Haitao told him the name of the hotel. It turned out that he was not going to Jiangzhou Hotel, but a five-star hotel in the city.
Qiao Liang didn't know at this time that Wei Xiaobei often stayed in this hotel.
Qiao Liang was a little surprised: "Secretary-General, this hotel is not a designated hospitality unit, can it be reimbursed?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Zhang Haitao took out a card and flashed it in front of Qiao Liang's eyes. "The general manager of this hotel once gave me an internal consumption card. I have never used it. The deadline is coming soon. I won't use it tonight."
It’s all for nothing.”
"Oh, that's it." Qiao Liang nodded. Although it wasn't Zhang Haitao's money spent on dinner tonight, it was still considered his treat.
Zhang Haitao then leaned forward and handed the card to Zhao Qiang: "Xiao Zhao, you go and settle the bill after dinner."
Zhao Qiang agreed and took the card.
Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Haitao: "It's just the three of us for dinner tonight?"
Zhang Haitao chuckled: "Where, I asked the secretary to book a private room. There will be a big table tonight."
"Who else?"
"You will naturally know when we get there."
Seeing that Zhang Haitao seemed to be showing off, Qiao Liang stopped asking and thought that those attending tonight's dinner should be Liu Yiping and the head of the department he was in charge of. According to common sense, since there are other people attending the dinner, it should be them.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of meeting her old colleagues tonight.
Then Zhang Haitao said: "I specially asked Secretary Zhao Kai'an's special car to pick you up tonight. This car is currently idle, waiting for the right person to come and sit in it. When you followed Secretary An, you took this car countless times.
I’m going to give you special treatment tonight and let you ride in this car again. Maybe you won’t have the chance to ride in this car again for quite some time in the future.”
After hearing Zhang Haitao's words, Qiao Liang's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help but think of the unforgettable time with An Zhe. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.
Zhang Haitao patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder: "Brother, you are about to rush to the northwest. How do you feel?"
"This..." Qiao Liang smiled, "This happened so suddenly, I still haven't recovered yet. As for my thoughts, I think since the organization has decided, then I have to obey. After going to the northwest, I will
Do a good job."
"Well, obeying is right, and working hard is a must." Zhang Haitao nodded, "Although you have left Jiangzhou temporarily, and although the northwest is far away, the distance in space does not mean anything. Your establishment is still in Jiangzhou.
You and Jiangzhou are still inextricably linked. Many people in Jiangzhou will still pay attention to you. Maybe you still need to continue to care about many things in Jiangzhou..."
Zhang Haitao's words seemed to contain a different meaning.
Qiao Liang didn't have time to think too much and nodded immediately: "I will definitely remember what the Secretary-General said."
Zhang Haitao smiled meaningfully at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang also smiled, and then carefully savored the meaning of Zhang Haitao's words...
When they arrived at the hotel, Qiao Liang and Zhang Haitao got off the car, entered the lobby, and went straight to the spiral staircase leading to the restaurant. Qiao Liang glanced around casually as they walked.
With this sweep, Qiao Liang's eyes stopped at the elevator entrance.
Qiao Liang saw the back of a familiar woman, Zhao Xiaolan.
Zhao Xiaolan entered the elevator and turned around. She was wearing a mask.
Then the elevator door closed.
Qiao Liang frowned. What was Zhao Xiaolan doing here at this time? She was still wearing a mask. Was she afraid of being seen by people who knew her? She took the elevator upstairs, obviously not going to a restaurant to eat.
Well, there seems to be something to this.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang changed direction and walked directly towards the elevator entrance while watching the constantly changing floor numbers.
Zhang Haitao called Qiao Liang from behind: "You're going to the wrong place. We don't need to take the elevator to go to the restaurant."
"Oh..." Qiao Liang turned to Zhang Haitao and smiled. Zhang Haitao then pointed to the spiral staircase, "Go up from here."
"Okay." Qiao Liang agreed while looking back at the floor numbers. He saw that it stopped at a number and stopped changing. He remembered it, then turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase with Zhang Haitao. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and quickly called
Lao San sent a message...
When they arrived at the restaurant, under the guidance of the waiter, Qiao Liang and Zhang Haitao arrived at the door of a private room. The waiter opened the door and bowed to them with a smile: "Sir, please——"
Zhang Haitao went in next, and Qiao Liang followed Zhang Haitao in.
Qiao Liang first saw Liu Yiping, Sun Yong, Zhong Huizi and the chief and deputy chiefs of the first and second departments sitting on the sofa.
Sure enough, they all came tonight.
Then Qiao Liang was stunned when he saw the other two people sitting on the sofa, Liu Bentao and Wen Yuan!
They actually came, and Zhang Haitao actually asked them to attend tonight's dinner.
Qiao Liang was confused for a moment and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Haitao, wondering what his intention was.
Zhang Haitao didn't seem to notice Qiao Liang's eyes, and smiled at everyone: "We are all here, then take your seats. Director Liu, you go arrange the waiters to serve wine and food."
Everyone stood up, Liu Yiping nodded and smiled at Qiao Liang, and then went out.
Then everyone smiled and greeted Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang greeted everyone politely, and then greeted Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao respectfully: "Hello, two leaders."
"Haha, okay, Mr. Qiao is fine too." Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao nodded with a smile on their face.
Then Zhang Haitao sat on the host's seat, waved to Qiao Liang, and pointed to the seat of the guest of honor: "Xiao Qiao, come here, you sit here."
According to the theme of Zhang Haitao's dinner tonight, it was natural for Qiao Liang to be the guest of honor, so Qiao Liang went over and sat down.
Then Zhang Haitao said to Liu Bentao: "Secretary-general Liu, please take the deputy chief seat to accompany me."
Although Liu Bentao's secretary-general is deputy and the director is full, the deputy secretary-general's title ranks before the director. It makes sense for Zhang Haitao to call him that.
Within the system, when a person has multiple titles, how to address them is also a science.
"Hey, okay." Liu Bentao agreed and sat in the deputy chair's seat.
At this time, everyone was looking at the position of deputy guest of honor. The only guest today was Qiao Liang. Who would be suitable to sit there? This position obviously cannot be left vacant.
Since it couldn't be left empty, everyone looked at Wen Yuan in unison. In addition to being accompanied by the principal and deputy principals, as long as he was a high-ranking person, according to the convention, he seemed to be the most qualified to sit in that position.
Wen Yuan also thought the same at this time. He just waited for Zhang Haitao to speak and went to sit down.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Haitao pointed to Liu Yiping who had just arranged for the waiter to come in and said: "Ladies first, I think Director Liu should sit as the guest of honor."
Wen Yuan was startled, everyone was stunned, and Qiao Liang secretly laughed in his heart.
Just when Liu Yiping was about to decline politely, Zhang Haitao said again: "Director Liu, obey the leadership's arrangements and come and sit down."
Although Zhang Haitao said these words very easily, they seemed to have an unquestionable flavor.
Liu Yiping then said nothing and went directly to sit down.
Everyone looked at Wen Yuan again, and Wen Yuan looked a little embarrassed at this time.
Zhang Haitao looked at Wen Yuan and chuckled: "Secretary-general Wen, you are Xiao Qiao's old leader. It is obviously inappropriate for Xiao Qiao to be the guest of honor and you to be the deputy guest of honor. Let's do this, you will be the third party."
"
As he spoke, Zhang Haitao pointed to the seat where the three companions were seated.
When everyone heard this, Zhang Haitao's words made sense. Wen Yuan was the chief, Qiao Liang was the deputy chief, and Wen Yuan was Qiao Liang's past leader. It was really inappropriate for him to be the deputy guest of honor.
Although Wen Yuan couldn't find a reason to refute Zhang Haitao's arrangement, he was very embarrassed in his heart. Damn it, let me be the third and accompanying boy like Qiao Liang. What qualifications does he have? Also, third and third, it sounds like
Why is it so offensive?
Wen Yuan felt dissatisfied, but he couldn't show any dissatisfaction, so he laughed and sat down in the escort's seat.
Then everyone sat down one by one.
Then the wine and food began to be served. The men drank white wine and the women drank red wine.
After pouring the wine, Zhang Haitao looked at everyone and said calmly: "Tonight's dinner is held in my own name. I'm treating guests. The theme of the dinner is to organize for us the former deputy director Qiao, now the newspaper's Qiao
Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Deputy County Chief Qiao, who is about to take up a post in the northwest, congratulates me and sends me a farewell in advance.
Everyone here tonight, except for Secretary-General Liu and Xiao Qiao, who have never had direct work interactions, some of them are old leaders, some are old colleagues, and some are subordinates that Xiao Qiao was once in charge of. Although Xiao Qiao has now left the commission, he still
We are all familiar with each other and have certain professional and personal relationships, so I called everyone here tonight..."
At this time, everyone already knew that Qiao Liang was going to work in the northwest, and they nodded while listening to Zhang Haitao's words.
Liu Bentao had a natural and reserved smile on his face, while Wen Yuan's smile looked a bit stiff.
Liu Bentao and Wen Yuan were surprised and confused about Qiao Liang going to work in the northwest and giving Qiao Liang the only quota in the municipal government. They knew that Feng Yunming must have asked Luo Fei about this matter. Luo Fei was so interested in Qiao Liang.
Hate it, why don't you send the people you plan to cultivate and give this good thing to Qiao Liang?
In fact, Liu Bentao and Wen Yuan were not the only ones who were surprised and confused. Zhang Haitao was also a little surprised after seeing the news announced by the Organization Department platform. He immediately called Feng Yunming and listened to Feng Yunming talk about his process of operating the matter, and then he understood.
I couldn't help but have a good impression of Feng Yunming. OK, this guy is interesting.
Zhang Haitao decided to hold this dinner tonight and decided to invite Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao to participate. He also had some considerations of his own, but no one knew about these considerations.
