Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xu Honggang's expression changed and he looked at Lu Ming, "Mayor Lu, have you ever heard of this name?"
Lu Ming came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, I have, but I don't know if the person I heard about is the same person you are talking about."
"Mayor Lu, tell me, who is the Xi Lan you are talking about?" Xu Honggang said immediately.
Lu Ming replied, "The Xi Lan I know is a businessman from Shencheng, but she is originally from Jiangzhou."
"A businessman from Shencheng!" Xu Honggang's eyes flashed, "It's really possible that these are the same person."
Xu Honggang said and looked at Xu Chan, "Director Xu, do you have that photo of Xi Lan?"
"No." Xu Chan shook her head.
"If the Xi Lan you are talking about is currently in Songbei, he should be the same person." Lu Ming added.
"Mr. Xi is currently staying at Songbei Hotel." Xu Chan said.
"That's right, it's the same person." Lu Ming nodded.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xu Honggang's eyes flashed, "How can Mayor Lu be sure that he is the same person?"
"This..." Lu Ming hesitated for a moment. The arrest of Xi Lan was a private matter assigned to him by Luo Fei, and it was obviously not suitable to talk about it.
Seeing Lu Ming's reaction, Xu Honggang smiled and said, "Is there anything else Mayor Lu can't hide?"
"Nothing." Lu Ming smiled and waved his hands, "I actually heard the name Xi Lan accidentally."
"That's it." Xu Honggang glanced at Lu Ming meaningfully. Knowing that Lu Ming didn't tell the truth, he didn't ask further questions. He said with a smile, "Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat and pour the wine."
Xu Honggang took the initiative to organize the meeting, and Xu Chan stood up with great discernment, "I'll pour wine for all the leaders."
At this moment, Lu Ming asked curiously, "Secretary Xu, why are you investigating this Xi Lan?"
"It's nothing, no need to check, it's just an insignificant person." Xu Honggang said.
Lu Ming heard this and glanced at Xu Honggang. Knowing that Xu Honggang didn't tell the truth, he wisely did not continue to ask. However, it was this Xi Lan who made Lu Ming more and more curious.
Everyone had their own thoughts, chatting while eating, and drank a lot of wine. When it was almost eight o'clock, Lu Ming left first, and Xu Honggang, Miao Peilong, and Xu Chan continued drinking.
Miao Peilong said to Xu Honggang, "Secretary Xu, when we first mentioned Xi Lan, we felt that Mayor Lu was not telling the truth."
"Yeah." Xu Honggang nodded, with a playful look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. It was actually because of Lu Ming's reaction that Xu Honggang realized that it was not appropriate to ask Lu Ming to do this, because if what Xu Chan said was true, , Tang Xiaofei is really the daughter of Xi Lan and Luo Fei, this is interesting. And Lu Ming is a typical fence-sitting person. Although the other party has taken the initiative to show kindness to him recently and showed a gesture of moving closer to him, Lu Ming Ming will never give up trying to please Luo Fei. Therefore, once Xi Lan's affairs are grasped by Lu Ming, there is no guarantee that Lu Ming will not take the initiative to tell Luo Fei about it out of the desire to please Luo Fei. This is something Xu Honggang is not willing to see. Arrived.
Miao Peilong saw that Xu Honggang cherished words like gold, and he was a little confused about the relationship between Xu Honggang and Lu Ming, so he couldn't help asking, "Secretary Xu, you have a good relationship with Mayor Lu?"
"Haha, it was just a normal working relationship before, and I didn't move around much in private. However, these days, Mayor Lu has been very diligent in running towards me." Xu Honggang smiled slightly, "No, I originally made an appointment tonight. I asked you to have dinner, and in the afternoon, Mayor Lu suddenly called and said we would have a drink together in the evening, so I called him over."
Hearing what Xu Honggang said, Miao Peilong immediately understood that Xu Honggang and Su Huaxin, the new secretary of the province, were alumni. During Su Huaxin's inspection trip to Jiangzhou a few days ago, Su Huaxin obviously had a crush on Xu Honggang. Showing a close attitude undoubtedly made some people's minds active. They made friends with Xu Honggang intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Ming obviously fell into this category. Even Miao Peilong did not deny that he actually had the same mentality. .
After thinking about it for a while, Miao Peilong said, "Secretary Xu, where do you think Mayor Lu heard the name Xi Lan? This Xi Lan is a businessman from Shencheng. Even if her native place is Jiangzhou, If she and Mayor Lu had no intersection, it would be impossible for Mayor Lu to pay attention to an ordinary businessman like her."
"No one knows about it." Xu Honggang smiled. He had already made up his mind to investigate this Xi Lan, including Tang Xiaofei. If Tang Xiaofei is really the biological daughter of Luo Fei and Xi Lan, then he can take advantage of this matter. …
A glimmer of ambition flashed in Xu Honggang's eyes. Ever since Su Huaxin landed in Jiangdong, Xu Honggang's previously dormant ambitions have been aroused again. And he has not been idle these days, actively wooing some people, including people like Lu Ming who were originally Xu Honggang does not reject people who fall into Luo Fei's camp. Even though he knows that Lu Ming is a typical two-faced person, he doesn't mind trying to win over Lu Ming. After all, Lu Ming's value lies there.
Specific to Xi Lan's matter, the reason why Xu Honggang is so interested is undoubtedly due to his personal interests and ambitions.
Miao Peilong saw that Xu Honggang didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue the topic. However, Miao Peilong was also secretly concerned about this matter. He and Xu Honggang each had their own little thoughts.
The three of them chatted for another half an hour. Xu Honggang checked the time, stood up and said, "Let's stop here tonight. Let's continue the appointment another day. If there is a chance later, let's go to Huangyuan to enjoy Secretary Su's meal. I heard that Secretary Su You are good at cooking, let's go let Secretary Su show off his cooking skills."
"You have to arrange this, otherwise we wouldn't dare to take advantage of Secretary Su." Miao Peilong said with a smile on his face.
"Why don't you dare to do this? I think Secretary Su has a very good impression of you. Before he went back after his inspection a few days ago, Secretary Su accidentally mentioned you and praised you for your good work." Xu Honggang looked at it. Miao Peilong said.
"Really? Secretary Su really praised me?" Miao Peilong had an excited look on his face.
"Of course it's true. Do you think I dare to make up Secretary Su's words casually?" Xu Honggang said with a smile.
When Miao Peilong heard this, his face was filled with joy. It was worth his efforts in reception. As long as Su Huaxin was satisfied, that would be the greatest reward for him.
There is no doubt that Miao Peilong is eager to further climb the big tree of Su Huaxin. Therefore, Miao Peilong is particularly motivated. He looked at Xu Honggang and said, "Secretary Xu, this matter will be arranged by you. When will Su Huaxin be able to climb up?" It’s convenient for the secretary. If you call me, I will be there at your call.”
"Okay, I'll ask Secretary Su later, and he said we're going to take advantage of him." Xu Honggang smiled slightly and glanced at Xu Chan. As long as he brings Xu Chan over, I believe Su Huaxin will be happy. , as for Miao Peilong, it was nothing more than a passing incident.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Xu Honggang said goodbye and left. He had another social event later.
Miao Peilong sent Xu Honggang to the car and watched the car leave. He turned to Xu Chan and said happily, "Did you hear that? Our efforts in entertaining Secretary Su were not in vain."
"Yeah." Xu Chan nodded in disbelief, a strange look flashed across her face.
"Let's go shopping. Today is a good day. I'll go shopping with you. Just tell me what you like and I'll pay for it." Miao Peilong said with a smile on his face.
"Then I'm going to make you bleed profusely." Xu Chan immediately became energetic when she heard that she was going to the mall.
Miao Peilong and Xu Chan went to the shopping mall. On the other side, Xu Honggang arrived at Jiangzhou Hotel, pushed the door and entered one of the private rooms.
In the box, when two young men saw Xu Honggang coming in, they stood up and said enthusiastically, "Brother Xu is here."
"Sit down, you're not an outsider." Xu Honggang glanced at the table and saw that two of the five bottles of Moutai on the table had already been opened. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaobei, Tianfu, you two have drank a lot. ."
If Qiao Liang were here, he would recognize the two young men, one is Wei Xiaobei, and the other is Qiao Liang’s college classmate Zhang Tianfu. Because Zhang Tianfu’s family’s Fucheng Group intends to expand business investment projects in Jiangzhou, Zhang Tianfu is here After coming to Jiangzhou for a class reunion, he has been staying in Jiangzhou most of the time recently. Thanks to Wei Xiaobei's help, Zhang Tianfu is now very familiar with Xu Honggang. Especially under Xu Honggang's intentional or unintentional arrangements, the three of them have something to do. We had a meal together when nothing happened, and now Wei Xiaobei and Zhang Tianfu were calling each other Brother Xu, and the relationship between the three of them seemed to be extraordinary.
"Brother Xu, I'm just waiting for you. The three of us have to drink all the wine on the table tonight." Zhang Tianfu said carelessly.
Xu Honggang shook his head after hearing this, "No, no, I've just had a drink, and I won't be able to drink much now."
"Brother Xu, it's not like we haven't had a drink with you before. Don't we know how much you drink? No matter how much you drink before, I've never seen you drunk before." Wei Xiaobei said with a smile.
"Just because I'm not drunk doesn't mean I won't be drunk. I have to go to work during the day, but I'm not as free as you." Xu Honggang said with a smile.
"Then drink a little more." Zhang Tianfu laughed and took the initiative to pour wine for Xu Honggang. Follow-up, search Wei Xinggong Zhongyu, which consists of the first letter of the pinyin of "Chu Luowan" plus the numbers 000724. Xu Honggang didn't either Refuse, although Zhang Tianfu is just a junior, in Xu Honggang's eyes, he is still valuable. Xu Honggang hopes that Fucheng Group's projects can be introduced through his hands. For him, it is a real political achievement.
As for Wei Xiaobei, Xu Honggang had another purpose in approaching and befriending Wei Xiaobei.
The three of them picked up their wine glasses and were about to take one away when Wei Xiaobei's cell phone rang. Wei Xiaobei picked it up and listened for a while. His face suddenly changed and he lost his voice and said, "What did you say?"
At the same time, Luo Fei's home phone also rang rapidly.
