And early the next morning, as soon as Ling You arrived at the unit, he called Lu Yao and asked him to send a car.

When Lu Yao heard that he had another chance to go out with Ling You, he immediately agreed and hurried to do it as if there was wind under his feet.

Ling You also thought about what Zhao Chenggang would ask last night, so he came to the office and put some information into his briefcase.

Not long after, Lu Yao walked to the door of the office and knocked on the door: "Mayor, the car is ready."

Ling You nodded, then picked up his briefcase and walked out: "Let's go."

After going downstairs and getting into the car, it was just like last time. Ling You took the driver and Lu Yao and set off again towards the county.

When we arrived at the county, it was around nine o'clock in the morning. Because the county committee and the county government of Pinggu County were working in the same compound, the car drove into the compound again.

When the car just stopped and Ling You got out of the car with his briefcase, he saw the county committee car No. 2 in front of the county government office building. Lu Changshan's car was not in the courtyard at this time, but he didn't have much

Thinking about it, he went straight into the county party committee building. When he got to the floor of Secretary Zhao Zhigang's office, Ling You took the lead in arriving at the door of the county party committee office and knocked on the door.

Different from the first time he came, because Ling You had also come to several meetings, some people knew him, so a staff member from the county party committee stood up and said: "Mayor Ling, who are you?"

Are you here to see Secretary Zhao?"

Ling You nodded: "Yes, am I here early? Does the secretary have time now?"

The man walked out and said: "The secretary is having a meeting. Please tell us that if you arrive, please wait for a while; it is almost over, I will take you to have a rest."

So the man took Ling You to the reception room again. As soon as he entered the room, Ling You took out a freshly opened box of high-end cigarettes from his bag, took out one and handed it to the other person: "Director Chen, have a smoke.

cigarette."

This staff member named Chen is just an ordinary clerk in the county party committee office, but in the system, there is generally an unwritten rule, which is to scream as loud as possible when you see a clerk. Just like in the army, if you just

If you are a new recruit in the army, even if you see an ordinary soldier, you should call him squad leader. This is probably to avoid the embarrassment of not knowing how to call him, and to make the other party feel comfortable.

Especially for the staff of the county party committee and county government offices, the cadres who come down from below must have good dealings with them. After all, there is a saying that is good to the king of hell, but the devil is difficult to deal with. If you are not polite to them, then

A little stumbling block for you and a blow in the leader's ear can be enough for you to drink a pot; so Ling You learned the lesson from before and specially prepared a box of cigarettes to put in his bag this time, just to avoid neglecting him again.

These people, like last time, will hang out all afternoon.

The man took the cigarette and sniffed it in front of his nose, then smiled and said, "Mayor Ling is so polite. This cigarette is so good. I usually see others smoking it."

Ling You smiled, and then took out a lighter to light the other party's cigarette. But although the man would occasionally show off his authority when seeing some of the small cadres in the township bureau committees below, for someone with a hand like Ling You's

If it were the powerful mayor of the town or the secretary of the township or the director of each bureau, how could he dare to entrust him with the power? So he hurriedly said politely: "No, no, no, Mayor Ling, I can do it myself."

As he spoke, he took the lighter from Ling You's hand and lit the cigarette in his hand. At this moment, Ling You also stuffed the entire box of cigarettes into the man's jacket pocket, but waited for the man to finish lighting it.

After smoking, he did not take out the cigarette. He acted as if he didn't know anything. He just returned the lighter to Ling You, and then said with a smile: "Mayor Ling, why don't you sit down and have a rest? I'll make you a cup of tea."

After hearing this, Ling You sat down and said with a smile: "Director Chen, stop being busy."

But that man couldn't listen to Ling You's polite words, and he really didn't even pour Ling You a cup of tea, so he went to make tea and said: "You, Liushan, are the farthest from the county. You can't come all the way here."

Let’s drink a glass of water and take a rest.”

Then he brought the tea cup over and placed it in front of Ling You's table. Ling You took it and said, "Thank you."

The man walked aside and brought an empty mineral water bottle, flicked the cigarette ashes into it, and said, "A relative of mine lives in Liushan. I heard him say last time that Liushan is no longer what it used to be. The roads are all well repaired."

Now, we have built a lot of factories, or else you, Mayor Ling, must be really capable."

Ling You smiled politely: "Everywhere, it depends on the joint efforts of all comrades and the county's help to us."

But when the man heard this, he didn't respond to Ling You's words. He also knew very well what the situation was in the county, and what the county magistrate Lu Changshan's attitude was towards Liushan Town. If someone told Ling You a few words, he would really do it.

It would be shameless to admit that the county has helped Liushan. After all, not everyone is like Lu Changshan, who takes all the credit for Liushan Town's current achievements in the city.

But he didn't even say a word about Ling You to the city, he just pretended to be stupid and admitted that it was his political achievements.

So he smiled awkwardly: "Mayor Ling is so humble."

Ling You didn't want to continue chatting with him on this matter, but went straight to the topic to get some information from this person, and then asked: "When did Secretary Zhao come back? I don't even know, otherwise it would have been earlier."

I came to the county to report to him."

That person also knew what Ling You meant, but he accepted his cigarettes, and his relatives lived in Liushan Town. He thought that there might be places where he could trouble Ling You in the future, so he also had a close relationship with Ling You.

plan, so he said: "Oh, it's been almost half a month since I came back."

Ling You frowned after hearing this, and felt a little confused. Logically speaking, Zhao Cheng had just been back for half a month, so he should go for a walk, or he should let the cadres from each township go to the county to report on their work, but why?

But he acted like nothing was wrong and didn't even get any news?

So Ling You continued to talk: "Secretary Zhao has been away for so long this time. He just returned to the county, so he must be very busy."

Hearing this, the man looked in the direction of the door. When he saw no one, he sat down next to Ling You and whispered: "You are asking, so I will reveal it to you. If others ask, I will definitely only tell you."

Not a word was mentioned.”

After hearing this, Ling You became even more puzzled, but he still lowered his voice and said, "Director Chen, please tell me, so that I can be mentally prepared. Otherwise, I will be confused when I meet Secretary Zhao for the first time.

"

Then he deliberately continued in a lower voice: "Besides, you know that I know, and there is no third person here."

After hearing this, the man surnamed Chen pondered for a moment and then leaned next to Ling You and said in a low voice: "Secretary Zhao has not gone anywhere or seen anyone in the past half month since he came back. You are still the first person in this half month.

A person he took the initiative to meet."

After hearing this, Ling You was confused for a moment, and then he hurriedly asked: "Then Secretary Zhao has been away for so long, and comrades from various units do not come to report. How can we carry out work?"

The man grinned, and then said: "What is work? There is no work at all. Even from this morning until now, I have had two meetings in a row, and they have only discussed trivial matters."

Director Chen stuffed the cigarette butt into the mineral water bottle, looked back at the door, then whispered in Ling You's ear, "Even when the county standing committee held the county standing committee meeting two days ago, Secretary Zhao called in sick and asked for leave.

Attend."

Ling You became more and more confused after hearing this, and then asked: "What about the work of the county committee?"

Director Chen spread his hands, then pointed with his chin in the direction of the county government in the building next door to the courtyard: "County Magistrate Lu is still in charge."
