Chapter 882: The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry
Du Fei chuckled and said, "Then I can borrow your brother's help."
Zhang Fakui had obviously learned how to smoke beforehand, but he didn't show any timidity.
Du Fei hid his stupidity to the end, asking questions from time to time so that Zhang Fakui could show off.
After a while, two cigars were lit, and the two of them leaned on the sofa and started puffing away.
The content of the chat gradually shifted from cigars to other things.
"Hey~ Brother Du, have you heard that Lao Kuai will completely retire after the Chinese New Year?"
"Really?" Du Fei really hasn't heard of it.
Lao Kuai is the deputy director of the department, but Du Fei has only heard of his name but not seen him since he started working.
Zhang Fakui sighed, "I was just diagnosed with stomach cancer. I think it's enough to cure me."
Du Fei was stunned.
I had heard before that Deputy Chief Kuai was not in good health, but I didn't expect that he would be diagnosed with the disease.
However, Du Fei didn't know the other party and was just a little bit embarrassed. And Zhang Fakui came here specially with two cigars, obviously not because of this.
Then the conversation changed, "Brother, in our department now, there are just you, me, Lao Wang, and the three section chiefs. If nothing else happens, the deputy department will be posted among the three of us."
Du Fei immediately said, "Don't make fun of me. You and Section Chief Wang are both old men in the department. You must have seniority, qualifications, and ability. If I really want to mention the deputy director, it's you two."
, it has nothing to do with me. I am only twenty-two this year, have you ever seen the deputy director of twenty-two?"
Zhang Fakui looked at Du Fei and laughed noncommittally.
Then he said, "Old Wang seems to be determined to win this time! He has been running to the director's house every day for the past two days."
Du Fei said "It's only human nature."
He looked at Zhang Fakui and said hey, "It seems like you didn't go."
Zhang Fakui didn't feel embarrassed after being exposed, but instead laughed.
Du Fei added, "But let me tell you, it's in vain if you look for the director. The director may not have the final say on this matter."
Zhang Fakui raised his eyebrows and pushed up his glasses with his hand, "How do you say this?"
Du Fei took a deep drag on the cigar, the rich taste spreading in his mouth, and he slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.
He smiled and said, "You are just pretending to be confused because you understand. It's not obvious. Lao Lu will mention the matter of deputy director after the Chinese New Year. It's basically a sure thing."
Zhang Fakui nodded.
Du Fei continued, "When Lao Lu becomes deputy director, do you think he can still hold the position of director?"
Zhang Fakui frowned, "This... shouldn't be a problem, right? In ministries, there are not many deputy division chiefs and division chiefs."
Du Fei smiled and didn't explain any more. He just had an expression of "Taste it carefully."
Zhang Fakui's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother, you... don't you know some news? Don't hide it, brother, thank you."
Du Fei refused to let go and said enigmatically, "What do I have?" The news is just casually spoken, you can listen to it casually, and we can chat casually."
In fact, Du Fei couldn't tell for sure, but if he said something like this wrong, he wouldn't be taxed.
On the contrary, the more he behaved like this, the more Zhang Fakui felt that there was something in his words. However, Zhang Fakui was an old agency, so the city government certainly didn't need to say anything.
After testing it several times, I found that Du Fei refused to spit, and he didn't bother to ask questions.
Du Fei's background was not something he could force. Instead of overdoing it and stalemate the relationship, it would be better to let things go as soon as they were good.
Until he came out of Du Fei's office.
Zhang Fakui was still thinking about Du Fei's words.
My heart said, "It doesn't matter what Lu Guang says...who can have the final say?"
In addition, if Lu Guang is no longer the director of the Foreign Trade Department, who will take over?
Should they be promoted from within or brought in from outside?
Various questions lingered in Zhang Fakui's mind.
Du Fei, on the other hand, only cared about killing and not burying him. After he finished speaking, he didn't think about it anymore.
But to say he is talking nonsense is not entirely true.
Lu Guang did reveal before that if he mentioned the deputy
The director may not be willing to serve as the director of the department at the same time, and he also hinted that Du Fei should be mentally prepared.
As for why Du Fei revealed this matter to Zhang Fakui.
It's not impulsive, but it has been planned for a long time.
What if it was not Zhang Fakui who came today, but Wang Chao.
Du Fei will also reveal the news.
Only in this way can these two people show their talents and see who the real backer is behind them.
If you know yourself and your enemy in advance, you will be well-prepared if something happens in the future. When he got off work, Du Fei walked out of the office on time.
I called Qin Huairou this afternoon and said that I was going to the new courtyard in Yanzhi Hutong in the evening, but I would have to go there later.
So she doesn't have to prepare meals.
Yesterday, Qin Huairou went to the housing management office to complete the procedures.
The small courtyard has been assigned to her name.
This made Qin Huairou feel as sweet as eating bee poop.
After get off work, I met Qin Jingrou at the factory gate and rode back together.
Seeing her humming a tune happily, Qin Jingrou couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what good things have happened to you in the past two days? It makes you happy."
"What?" Qin Huairou was a little vague. She hadn't decided yet whether to tell Qin Jingrou or not.
Although there is a larger courtyard under Qin Jingrou's name, it is not the same thing as hers.
Qin Jingrou was not stupid, she immediately guessed the clue and asked, "Is it related to Brother Du Fei?"
Qin Huairou thought for a while and clicked
He nodded with a "hmm" sound.
To conceal is to conceal, to deceive is to deceive.
She could hide some things from Qin Jingrou, but she couldn't lie to her. It would be too emotional if it was exposed in the future.
Qin Huairou thought for a while and said, "Let's go home and talk." .??.??
By the time the two of them got home, Qin Jingrou had already been holding it in for a long time and asked quickly, "Sister, what happened?"
Banggun'er is not at home, and I don't know where he went to play.
Xiao Dang took Sophora japonica and stayed with Xiao Jun and Xiao Ling'er at the first master's house.
Qin Huairou turned around, closed the door, and whispered, "Xiao Du, bought me a yard in the city."
"What~" Qin Jingrou was shocked for a moment, with a look of disbelief on her face, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
I can't help but repeat "Yard... Yard? Buy you a yard?"
Qin Huairou nodded, "It's over in Xicheng. He said that this place belongs to the Jia family. When Banggun'er gets married, I'll give him his wife and let me live there so I can have a place forever."
Speaking of this, Qin Huairou's eyes were full of excitement.
As the old saying goes, wealth that does not return home is like walking in brocade at night.
Qin Huairou got such a nice yard, but couldn't show it off, so she could only enjoy it secretly.
One can imagine how uncomfortable she was feeling.
Qin Jingrou kept asking questions today, and she simply showed her cards.
Seeing Qin Jingrou's reaction, the vanity in her heart was greatly satisfied.
It took Qin Jingrou a while to come back to her senses, but she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
I was happy for my cousin, but also a little jealous in my heart. Thinking of Du Fei, I felt even more self-pitying...
At the same time, Du Fei rode his bicycle to the vicinity of Zhengyang Gate. According to the address Xu Daimao said, he came to the entrance of an alley. However, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
Isn't this the place where Jiang Dong came to arrange the last time Zhao Yutian came?
Last time I came directly by car, this time Xu Daimao reported an address.
Du Fei didn't meet him for a while.
It dawned on me when I came here.
Push the cart inside.
Sure enough, it was that yard.
When I knocked on the door and went in, it was still the proprietress named Xu.
The landlady has a good memory, and she clearly had an impression of Du Fei.
But she was very smart and did not take the opportunity to talk. She just nodded politely.
Du Fei reported Xu Daimao's name.
When the lady boss heard this, she immediately stepped in.
side.
I went in and sat down. Not long after I waited, Xu Daimao came on his bicycle.
As soon as he entered the room, he laughed and said, "Brother, I'm a little late. I'll punish myself with three drinks in a while."
Du Fei laughed and scolded, "Go away!" Dan, if you want to drink, just say so, and you punish yourself with three drinks."
Xu Daimao chuckled, "Brother, I can borrow your help!"
Then he said to the landlady, "Bring me my bottle of wine."
The landlady responded, and soon brought out a bottle of old-looking red wine, with a transparent glass bottle placed next to it.
Xu Daimao pointed at the wine bottle, "Did you see that, I brought the 47-year-old French Bordeaux wine to settle in the morning, and now it's time to change the bottle. I'm telling you, if I hadn't had dinner with you, my father-in-law wouldn't have taken it with me.
Take it out."
When Du Fei heard this, he became somewhat interested.
Bring it over and have a look.
The trademarks were all in French, and he couldn't understand them either.
Xu Daimao said hurriedly, "I said, please be gentle, it will settle down easily."
Du Fei smiled, put the wine back, and waited for the landlady to change the bottle.
This landlady also has some skills, and she is not a stickler.
After a while, the red wine was poured into the glass bottle, leaving only a little cloudy bottom.
Put the wine aside to wake up for a while, just in time to wait for the food to be served.
The landlady left.
Xu Daimao winked and said, "Brother, how are you? This landlady looks pretty good~"
Du Fei glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "Sister Lou didn't squeeze you dry at home~ And you still have this frivolous intestine?"
Xu Daimao grinned and subconsciously supported his waist.
Thinking of last night, I still had lingering fears about the dim sum... The two of them chatted while waiting for the food to be served.
After a while, the dishes were served and the wine was poured.
After two drinks, Xu Daimao finally got down to business, "Hey, brother, I have an uncle in Xiangjiang, you know~"
Du Fei nodded, this matter is not a secret.
There are three brothers and one sister in the Lou family to Lou Xiao'e's generation.
Lou Xiao'e was the youngest and stayed with her parents. The eldest and second child were all sent away before liberation.
The eldest son is in Xiangjiang and the second son is in Dongyang.
Xu Daimao and Du Fei have nothing to beat around the bush.
While eating, he told me what he heard from Father Lou yesterday.
Du Fei was very surprised when he heard this.
In his impression, the Lou family was engaged in industry and serious business.
What kind of situation did the boss of the Lou family encounter in Xiangjiang? He was so desperate that he wanted to get involved in the military business?
After Xu Daimao finished speaking, he looked earnest, "Brother, do you think this business is settled?"
Du Fei glanced at him and asked, "Is this what your father-in-law meant?" Xu Daimao shook his head, "No, this made him very angry. My uncle was not here, otherwise I would have had to break his legs."
