"Mayor Liu, will you go back this afternoon?" I walked up to him and asked him.
He shook his head and said: "Later. I have to do some things in the provincial capital in the afternoon. By the way, you can go to dinner with me at noon. I invited a deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. The deputy director of the Provincial Government Office
Secretary-General Lao Qiu will also participate. Several major projects in our Shangjiang City will be launched soon, and you should have more contact with them in the future. Today is an opportunity, so you should communicate with them first."
I was immediately embarrassed. Logically speaking, I had to go with Mayor Liu. After all, this was a work matter, and it also involved his face. But I had already agreed to Zhu Dan? And she was at the moment.
Wait for me there. I made a mistake last night, and I made her worry all night because I turned off my phone. If I don't go to have dinner with her today, I will be very sorry to her.
This is not a simple matter of public and private matters. Of course, I could have called Zhu Dan right away and truthfully told her that I had temporary business arrangements at noon, but I felt very embarrassed.
I know the real reason for my embarrassment: if I want to marry her in the future, I can completely break my promise again today. The problem is, I have no such plan.
At this moment, I was thinking in my heart: He only informed me of this matter at this time. It was obviously temporary, and it was obvious that he had no intention of asking me to go at the beginning. Thinking of this, I said: "Liu
Mayor, I'm sorry, I have invited friends to have dinner with me at noon today. They are waiting for me there."
He asked me: "Where will you arrange it? If possible, try to be as close as possible. It would be best if you come and toast me at that time."
Suddenly I felt cautious: What if the place he arranged was the same as mine? I hurriedly said: "We are at a fish farm in the suburbs. We have already booked it, and all my friends have already
It’s almost time to arrive. Mayor Liu, I’m sorry, if you had told me earlier, I could have put off the matter over there, but it’s hard to put it off now. I’ll visit them alone next time.”
He said: "That's it. Then forget it."
My heart moved, and I immediately asked him: "Mayor Liu, which place did you book? If I am familiar with it, I can say hello to the boss there and ask them to provide more considerate service."
He immediately told me the place, and then said with a smile: "It's okay. There should be no problem with service at a place like that."
When he told me the name of the hotel, I almost changed my face in surprise, because the place he told me was exactly the hotel where Zhu Dan was waiting for me. This is not surprising, after all, that place is in the province.
It is one of the most upscale places in the city. Mayor Liu is very concerned about face now, so it is normal for him to treat guests there.
Fortunately, I calmed down immediately and apologized to him again, "I'm sorry, Mayor Liu. Let's do this. When I go to work next week, I will come and ask you for instructions on what work needs to be done next. Then I will follow the instructions
Just follow your instructions."
After I separated from him, I hurriedly called Zhu Dan, "I'm sorry, I just finished the meeting. Where are you now?"
She said: "I'm already here. I've already ordered the food and I'll serve it when you arrive. How long will it take for you to arrive? I'm so hungry."
I hurriedly whispered: "We have to change places immediately. Today our Mayor Liu is entertaining guests there. I was supposed to participate, but I declined for other reasons. If he sees me, I will
It’s troublesome.”
She said in a very embarrassed voice, "But, I have already ordered the food?"
I smiled and said, "Let's talk to the supervisor there. If it doesn't work, just pay the money. I'll reimburse you. Haha! It's a small thing."
She said, "I'm not paying the bill, and we didn't eat. So, where are we going to have lunch?"
I said: "Let's go to another hotel. Then I will drive to the shopping mall near you and wait for you. By the way, don't argue with others? If they really don't agree, just pay."
"
She immediately laughed, "I lied to you, I haven't ordered yet. Originally, I wanted to tell you how I can do it and how I can make them not charge... Hee hee! Forget it.
Okay, I'll tell you the truth, so you don't have to worry."
I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and at the same time I liked her even more in my heart.
We picked her up at the place we agreed on. She was dressed very casually today, a pair of jeans and a beige thin sweater, which made her look taller than usual and showed off all the advantages of her figure.
I looked at her and immediately became obsessed with her.
She looked at me and smiled, "What? Are you stupid?"
I shook my head, "Xiao Dan, you are so beautiful. I can't help it."
She couldn't stop laughing immediately, "You have such a sweet mouth. Listening to you say that, it's as if I am a beauty and a disaster. From now on, the king will not come to court early. Oh, you even turned down dinner at work for me. Laugh,
I can't bear this responsibility."
I didn't expect that she would say this, so I immediately said to her very seriously: "Xiao Dan, my phone ran out of battery last night, which made you worry all night. Today I promised to have dinner with you, and I can't break my promise again. Work
It doesn't matter what you did. If you can't do it today, there will be tomorrow, but you are different. I feel very guilty for you and don't want to disappoint you again."
She looked at me with soft eyes, which gave me a warm feeling like the sunshine in this season. She said: "We already have such a relationship, there is no need for you to delay work for me.
You should tell me the truth. We still have many opportunities in the future. Don’t you think so?"
My heart felt warmer, and at the same time I felt hesitant: Should I go to Mayor Liu now?
She saw my hesitation, and then said to me: "You go ahead, I will eat something by myself, and then go shopping in the mall. But you have to find a good reason to go there."
I immediately made up my mind, "It's easy to explain the reason. Dandan, thank you for your understanding."
She was still looking at me with eyes as gentle as water, "Drink less. I'll go shopping for a while and then go back and wait for you."
I nodded to her. She left immediately.
Watching her leaving back, my heart felt even warmer, and then I felt uncomfortable: Such a good girl, it's a pity that I don't have the luck to truly have her.
Last night, when Lin Yuwen was beside me, and when I woke up in the morning and looked at the slight smile on her face, I already knew: she and I will never be separated again. No.
I don't want to, it's because I can't bear it.
I drove the car slowly, and at this moment, I felt sad in my heart. I sighed, calmed down, and picked up the phone to call Mayor Liu, "Mayor Liu, I'll be right over. I'll talk to my friends.
Yes, they eat there themselves.”
Mayor Liu said happily, "That's great. Let me just say, you, Mayor Feng, must take your work the most seriously. Come on, we just sat down."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I never thought that my lie could achieve unexpected results.
I drank some wine at noon, but it was all for courtesy.
Secretary-General Qiu is the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government who contacts the Development and Reform Commission and industry. He also has to contact Governor Huang for some work. I have known him before, so we are relatively casual together. The person from the National Development and Reform Commission is a deputy director.
There are also several division chiefs below.
The director of the Municipal Finance Bureau who was attending the meeting with us was also there. It was obvious that Mayor Liu brought him to pay the bill.
Secretary-General Qiu said to me during lunch: "Mayor Feng, I heard that your performance this time was very good. It is said that Secretary Fang spoke highly of you. You are so young and have a bright future in the future."
"
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Fang's evaluation is for this meeting. This meeting was a success, and Secretary Fang is very satisfied."
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, please don't be humble. I heard that Secretary Fang specially asked you to attend the dinner last night. And I also heard that Secretary Fang attended the dinner in front of many leaders.
I conducted an interview with you. Secretary Fang is very satisfied with your performance. Is that right?"
In my heart, I don’t want him to say such things at all, but I know that he doesn’t have any ill intentions, it’s just a compliment to me, or he wants to get closer to me. I can’t stop him.
He didn't talk about such things, but I found that Mayor Liu's face changed and became ugly. But his ugly face only appeared for a moment, and then I heard him coming to ask me.
: "Mayor Feng, is this true? Let me just say, gold always shines. Sooner or later, your abilities will be appreciated by the leaders." (To be continued)
