Just now, Tao Chunlun was engaging in official talk with Li Chaogui and others, saying that the central government required that the red tape for welcoming guests and sending them off should be reduced. Now he is actually violating it. However, who will say it to his face and lose his face?

If Tao Chunlun hadn't followed and waited here, no one knows what Zhang Weidong would think or think of him. Anyway, it wouldn't be a positive impression.

Zhang Weidong is neither a secretary nor a mayor, but he still has a lot of authority in the city. The most important thing is that he is young, younger than Tao Chunlun, and his future is limitless. It would not be surprising if he was promoted to the province one day and became a provincial leader.

. If you don't flatter him now, how can you wait longer?

Tao Chunlun would stay and wait together. This was something that both Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan expected. So when Li Chaogui suggested that Song Qiaoshan accompany Tao Chunlun back to his hometown first, Song Qiaoshan fully agreed.

A county leader and two township leaders just stood chatting under the shade of a tree on the roadside. The sun was shining brightly above their heads, but none of them complained.

Twenty minutes later, an Audi car with license plate number 00004 appeared at the corner in front.

Seeing the car appear, the three people immediately stopped chatting and stood in order. Tao Chunlun was there, so he naturally stood in the first position. Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan kept their distance and took pictures behind Tao Chunlun.

Seeing two cars parked on the roadside and a few well-behaved cadres standing on the roadside, Zhang Weidong's driver knew that the people below were greeting them without having to report, so he consciously drove to them.

Tao Chunlun stepped forward and helped Zhang Weidong open the car door.

"Mayor Zhang, hello." Tao Chunlun stretched out his hands and said.

"You are..." Zhang Weidong got out of the car and raised his right hand for Tao Chunlun to hold, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

Zhang Weidong doesn't know the cadres of Duge Township, and he can't be familiar with all the deputy positions in the counties and districts below. After all, Liangcheng City is not big or small, and all the division-level and deputy-division-level cadres combined are good.

Hundreds of people.

"Mayor Zhang, I am Tao Chunlun, the deputy county magistrate in charge of science, education, culture and health of Gaoshan County. This time I was invited to Duge Township to attend the inauguration ceremony of their ethnic street." Tao Chunlun quickly reported his family background.

No matter how close you are to the leader, the most important thing is to make the leader remember who you are, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Oh, Comrade Chunlun, hello, hello, is there only one person from your county here?" Zhang Weidong nodded like a spring breeze.

"Mayor Zhang, other comrades are busy with work, so I asked me to come on behalf of the county to see the development of Duge Township." Tao Chunlun said.

To say that other people are busy is a disguised way of saying that Tao Chunlun has nothing to do.

"Well, when you are a leading cadre, you should work more frequently at the grassroots level. Otherwise, you will be out of touch with the people. The more remote and poor the place, the more help and care are needed."

"Mayor Zhang is right, I will definitely keep your advice in mind." At this time, no matter what Zhang Weidong said, Tao Chunlun would only nod in agreement, and there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Weidong said.

After chatting with Tao Chunlun for a few words, it was finally the turn of the two landlords Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan.

The two of them were as enthusiastic as they could be about Zhang Weidong's arrival. They talked about how great it was for Zhang Weidong to come to Duge Township and how much they valued Duge Township. Zhang Weidong was a little embarrassed.

Woolen cloth.

"I came here uninvited. I hope I won't cause any trouble to your work."

"Mayor Zhang said, we really hope that you can come. It is a great encouragement to us that you can come to our Duge Township to guide the work despite your busy schedule. If this is trouble, we ask Mayor Zhang to come from time to time."

Give us trouble, haha." As the leader of the township, Li Chaogui's speech is still quite good.

"If you come here often, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Hahaha, everyone, get on the bus. Don't keep the comrades in the village waiting. Let's go to your village first." Zhang Weidong said with a smile.

When Zhang Weidong said he couldn't bear it, he didn't mean that it would be troublesome for the villagers to receive him, but that he was strict and conscientious in his work requirements. However, no one of the three people present could understand this point.

Everyone got on the car, and led by Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan's car, the three cars filed towards Duge Township.

The road from Fangwo Village to Duge Township is a kind of dirt road, which is bumpy and bumpy when vehicles drive on it. In order to make the leader go smoothly, Song Qiaoshan instructed the driver not to drive too fast and to drive at a slower speed.

Nearly an hour later, the three cars finally arrived on Dugexiang Street.

In the car, Li Chaogui called back to his hometown and set the ceremony at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Because they had to wait for Tao Chunlun and Zhang Weidong, when their group arrived at Duge Township, it was already early twelve o'clock. This time was meal time. Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan couldn't let the leaders attend the ceremony hungry.

So uninteresting.

So when we arrived in the countryside, lunch was already prepared. This was what Li Chaogui had explained on the phone.

The place for lunch was the Yi Restaurant. Today, all the business of the Yi Restaurant has been taken over by the countryside.

There are really no good restaurants or hotels in Duge Township. Yi Restaurants can only be regarded as better than small restaurants in the city, but in Duge Township, they are considered very good dining places.

There is a canteen in the village, but the conditions of the canteen are poorer than those of Yi restaurants.

When Daofangwo Village went to pick up people, they could only go to Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan, but they couldn't just be the two of them to accompany them for dinner. All the team members from the township came, plus some other staff, to fill two tables.

"Mayor Zhang, County Magistrate Tao, please take a seat... Our conditions here are difficult, and there is really no high-end place. I have neglected the leadership, and I ask Mayor Zhang and County Magistrate Tao to forgive me.

"Li Chaogui invited the two leaders into the Yi restaurant and then extended his hand.

"We all serve the people. Wherever we need a high-end place, we can have enough food. If the people are still living on the poverty line, but we cadres are eating and drinking, that is a big problem. Everyone, please sit down.

Be casual." Zhang Weidong walked to the main seat in the back room and sat down.

Zhang Weidong doesn't do anything imaginary. He knows that if he doesn't sit down, no one else will dare to sit down. Moreover, only he can sit at the main seat, otherwise it will be empty.

As soon as Zhang Weidong sat down, Tao Chunlun sat down on his left hand side, while Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan naturally lined up on both sides to accompany him.

In addition to Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan, several higher-ranking cadres in the township also accompanied the main table.

In order to entertain Zhang Weidong, Yi Restaurant brought out all its special skills. Although it was not comparable to the big restaurants in the city, the table was still filled with large bowls and plates of fragrant dishes.

Li Chaogui opened a bottle of Moutai and wanted to pour wine into Zhang Weidong's glass, but Zhang Weidong reached out and stopped him.

This bottle of Moutai was specially prepared by the villagers just for today. On normal days, let alone Moutai, Wuliangye is not something I can afford to drink. Even if it is for work entertainment, the most I can order is something like Luzhou Old Wine.

.

"I don't drink during working hours, especially at noon, and I can't drink, so as not to delay things. I just drink some tea and eat some food." Zhang Weidong said, blocking the bottle Li Chaogui raised.

"Mayor Zhang, if you drink a little, you won't miss anything. You finally came to our Duge Township. If I don't let you even have a glass of wine, I'm afraid we will be laughed at, haha." Li Chaogui advised.

road.

"Jokes are only jokes. There are no jokes about drinking or not. I don't drink. If you like it, you can drink some on your own."

Zhang Weidong is the leader. If he blocks his way, no one will dare to persuade him to drink. It is always difficult to resist the urge to drink from superiors to subordinates, and from subordinates to superiors. All the tricks in the wine shop are useless. Crushing people to death at the official level is not just a job.

, the same is true at the dinner table.

If Zhang Weidong doesn't drink, who dares to drink, and which one can still drink? As a city leader, Zhang Weidong is afraid of delaying things and affecting his work. Aren't the people below afraid of affecting their work?

As a last resort, Li Chaogui had to remove the wine, not only from their table, but also from the table next to them.

Others thought they could have a good drink to receive the leaders of the county and city, but little did they know that after such a long meal, the only thing left was to drink tea instead.

There was no drinking at this table, so the atmosphere suddenly dropped a lot. In addition, Zhang Weidong ate very quickly, so everyone else could only eat and drink in order to keep up with the progress.

Mayor Zhang can't finish his meal while the others are still chewing their food carelessly and slowly. That would be inappropriate.

"You don't need to pay attention to me. Let's eat slowly and eat more. There are so many dishes. If you don't eat more, it will be wasted." Zhang Weidong drank a bowl of wild fish tofu soup and raised his hand to say hello.

Although Zhang Weidong appeared very approachable, others still felt pressured and reserved. Soon, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks to express that they had finished eating.

There was still some time before the ceremony started, so Li Chaogui and Song Qiaoshan first guided Zhang Weidong and Tao Chunlun to the lounge of the Township House to drink tea and rest. Anyway, it only takes a few minutes from the Yi Restaurant to the Township House, and it only takes a few minutes from the Township House to Minzu Street.

You can get there in a short walk.

"Comrade Chaogui, Comrade Qiao Shan, why didn't you see your investors during lunch?" Zhang Weidong asked after taking a sip of tea in the township government lounge.

"Mayor Zhang, the inauguration ceremony was an event hosted by the township, so we did not invite representatives from the investing companies." Li Chaogui replied.

The reason why I didn't invite Hu Jianqiang or Hu Jianjun to come to lunch was because I felt that they were a bit unworthy of the spotlight, and on the other hand, I didn't want them to steal the limelight.

If Hu Jianqiang or Hu Jianjun were present, Zhang Weidong would inevitably talk to them and inquire about the situation, which would leave no room for their township cadres to perform.
