Chapter 572: A Chance Encounter by the Lake

cenes. Doing good deeds isn't about wanting the whole world to know!Besides, arranging a late-night snack in the hotel is normal, but sending traditional Chinese medicine is something they wouldn't do...Chen Guangming couldn't help but ask again: "How could Director Li have something happen He just returned to Hangzhou from An County yesterday!" Yue Haitao didn't know, and he wasn't patient enough to answer these questions: "You should ask Li Zhiping himself about this." 。"To my surprise, as soon as Yue Haitao finished speaking, Chen Guangming received a call from Li Zhiping." 。"It was Li Zhiping who called." 。I'll take it. 。Chen Guangming said something to Yue Haitao, then quickly picked up the phone. Only Li Zhiping's voice came from the other end, "Director Chen, you've put me in a difficult position this time!" There was a hint of resentment in Li Zhiping's voice, which contrasted sharply with his usual aloof scholar demeanor and the good self-image of a provincial capital technical cadre. 。

Chen Guangming really wanted to figure out what was going on. He hurriedly asked, "Director Li, what's the situation"Li Zhiping said, "Didn't you invite me to An County to help treat tea moth disease I went, and I originally planned to go to the tea mountain too. But the next day, didn't you say that the county magistrate of An County was not cooperative and told me not to go to the tea mountain Isn't that why I returned to Hangzhou" 。This matter, I don't know who reported it to the provincial committee leaders. They think my work style is problematic and that I lack the awareness to help grassroots communities solve practical issues. 。Chen Guangming immediately said: "You can say that you are also because there are tea tree problems in Longjing!" Li Zhiping said: "I did say that too." 。To my surprise, the provincial leaders immediately had people go to Longjing Village and their town to verify. It was soon discovered that I hadn't gone there. 。I actually wanted to go for a walk that day, but then someone invited me to have tea and dinner by West Lake, so I didn't go. 。This way, things got even worse. The leader thought I was deceiving him, so he had the Department of Agriculture suspend me!

Chen Guangming didn't expect Li Zhiping to be so inexperienced. After going back to An County, he didn't go to Longjing Village, but instead was called out for tea and meals by someone else. 。Ah, an official like Li Zhiping, with such skills, is still too careless. 。What's even worse is that he also told the leader that he had been to Longjing Village. 。Leaders are not that easily fooled, you know Since they have already begun to suspect you, they will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. 。Since Li Zhiping has already been suspended, it is estimated that there is no chance for him to turn things around. 。Chen Guangming rushed to say, "Zhiping, you have to be careful, the leader might even investigate you!"

Chen Guangming had already changed the title "Director Li" directly to "Zhiping," which made Li Zhiping very uncomfortable. 。Hearing Chen Guangming say "The leaders might even investigate you" sent a shiver down Li Zhiping's spine. 。He was also quite annoyed, and couldn't help but say to Chen Guangming: "You have to be careful too." 。"

This has a bit of a "mutual harm" meaning to it, which also gave Chen Guangming a jolt." 。Chen Guangming didn't want to say much to Li Zhiping, who was no longer of use. He simply said, "Let's keep in touch," and hung up the phone. Immediately, he turned to Yue Haitao, the director of the city's agricultural bureau, and said: "Li Zhiping has indeed been suspended." 。Yue Haitao said angrily, "

“Do I need you to tell me that Yu already told me himself, would it be fake” Then he ordered the driver, “Go back to the bureau!”

Chen Guangming was surprised, “Director Yue, aren’t we having dinner”

Yue Haitao asked sternly, “Don’t you want your official hat anymore Yu is coming for a surprise inspection tomorrow, and today we are still going to eat and drink freely Maybe Mayor Hong will find us later!”

Seeing Yue Haitao's seriousness, Chen Guangming realized the severity of the situation, and his forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. " 。He said, "Yes yes" 。"Yue Haitao dashed towards him and said, 'Give the Changxian government a call and tell them that we've received a sudden task from the provincial level and won't be able to attend the dinner.'" 。I'll give Mayor Ru a call and apologize to him. 。

That's all we can do.

Chen Guangming had no choice but to say, "Alright, I'll make a call right now, Bureau Chief Yue." 。When Yue Haitao and Chen Guangming were busy making phone calls, they rushed back to the office without even having dinner, Xiao Zheng had already arrived at the Asakusa Bay parking lot on Nanshan Road in Hangzhou. 。Stepping out of the car, the air carried a unique chill characteristic of the Jiangnan region. Xiao Zheng could also smell the moisture in the air. This place was just a few steps away from West Lake. 。Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, took out his phone, and called He Xue. 。He Xuesweet voice asked, “Have we arrived” Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “We’ve arrived at the Asakusa Bay parking lot you specified.” 。He Xuedao said: "I know you're here. Look to the left, the fifth 'Mini' BMW" 。Xiao Zheng felt like he was meeting with a spy, and couldn't help but sigh that girls from Hangzhou just knew how to have fun. 。He put down his phone and looked to the left. 。The fifth car, as expected, was a "Mini Cooper". 。At that moment, the car door opened and a woman stepped out of it. 。Although it was getting dark, under the lights of the parking lot, Xiao Zheng could still clearly see that the woman who got out of the car had a flawless complexion. Her eyebrows were long and elegant, resembling willow leaves, and her hair was combed from her forehead to the back of her neck, with beautifully curled ends. 。She was wearing a sapphire blue high-necked wool jumpsuit paired with black riding boots. A small black bag with blue sequins hung from her shoulder, adding a strong sense of fashion to her elegant figure. 。After getting off the car, she smiled and waved to Xiao Zheng, then walked towards him with light steps. 。Xiao Zheng also smiled and said, "Thank you for treating me to a meal." 。。Xiao County Magistrate, I heard there's a noodle shop near here that makes 'scallion-burst eel noodles' especially delicious, and I'm craving it. 。He Xuedao: "Here, there really is one. Go out of this parking lot, turn left, walk 100 meters, turn into Persimmon Alley, and you'll be there!" Xiao Zhongdao: "Thank you, Head He, I'll go now." 。Enjoy your meal. 。"Your driver knows my name is He, right" He Xizhao asked Xiao Zheng.Xiao Zheng laughed, "Of course! Mr. He, if you invite me to dinner, I naturally have to show off a bit." 。He Xue was extremely pleased, a smile blooming on her face like a white lily, as bright and brilliant as sunshine on a flower. 。She said, "Well, I really must treat you to a good meal today. It's the least I can do." 。Let's go. 。He Xue spoke, and very naturally took Xiao Zheng's arm, entering the depths of Liu Ying together with him. 。This Nan Shan Road is built by the lake. During the Southern Song Dynasty, this place was at the foot of the imperial city. In the Republic of China period, it was the official residences and private villas of officials and dignitaries. Now it has become a private club for the wealthy or a commercial wine bar. 。Walking along the long, winding path, even in the night, the atmosphere of affluence remains strong. 。Although He Xue was walking arm in arm with Xiao Zheng, she didn't lean against his shoulder tightly, seeming to merely express a kind of intimacy. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but wonder, was this how girls in Hangcheng expressed their affection Even though there were many pedestrians under the night sky, Xiao Zheng guessed he didn't know any of them. 。So, if he were to forcefully remove He Xue's hand from his arm, it would be too unfriendly. 。Xiao Zheng also couldn't bear to let He Xue lose face, so he let her arm him. As long as he didn't hold her arm back, it was fine. 。"Hey! You two!" A familiar male voice suddenly emerged from a willow-shaded path, startling both Xiao Zheng and He Xue. 。He Xue also involuntarily let go of Xiao Zheng's hand she was holding. 。

As far as the eye could see, wasn't that Ma Kai, the head of the National Development and Reform Commission, right there And who else was it! Xiao Zheng felt a little awkward and said, "Ma Chief, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Ma Kai glanced at both Xiao Zheng and He Xue again, and said unhappily, "You naturally wouldn't expect it, otherwise you wouldn't have come here>>> 。"Xiao Zheng, I didn't expect you to be such a typical case of lust blinding your righteousness!"

He Xue said at this time with her expression already composed, "Director Ma, you might have misunderstood..." 。I think it's necessary for me to explain this to you. 。Today, County Magistrate Xiao came to Hang City for business. He was originally going to go back, but recently I heard that he promoted the county magistrate, so I called him just in case. Unexpectedly, he was still in Hang City, so I asked him to stay and have a meal with me. 。"It's getting late, I wanted to make an appointment with you, but I was afraid you already had plans!"

"Plans I actually do have some. But if you say Xiao Zheng came, I would definitely come! What kind of friendship do we have" Ma Kai said, "We have the kind that comes from our trip to Ning Gan together! It's not comparable to other friends."

He Xue smiled and said: "So, I invite you now, are you not going to your appointment anymore" He Xue thought he would definitely come, so she said this on purpose. 。"That's to be expected! To be frank, I was supposed to go to Baiyuexuan for a meal. It's a standard of two hundred per person, not including drinks." 。“No, I'm not going now!” He Xue didn’t expect him to really not go. Actually, He Xue hoped to have a dinner and conversation with Xiao Zheng alone, staying the whole night. She definitely didn’t want Ma Kai, this noisy light bulb, around. She said, “I'm treating, but it’s not two hundred one person standard!”

Ma Kai replied, “Having dinner with Xiao Zheng, just a case of beer and a plate of peanuts is enough!” Xiao Zheng welcomed Ma Kai too; he was worried that having dinner with only He Xue might be a bit awkward. 。Moreover, He Xue was just holding his hand a moment ago. If someone happened to see them, and Xiao Jingyu found out, it would easily lead to misunderstandings. 。Although the probability of meeting acquaintances here is small, since you can meet Ma Kai, it is also possible to meet other people. 。This thing, sometimes when it comes together, can be incredibly coincidental. 。Then Xiao Zheng said, "Since that's the case, let's go together." 。Although He Xue was unwilling in her heart a thousand times, since she had already invited Ma Kai just now, she agreed to let him stay. She couldn't go back on her word and had to let him participate together. 。They came to a lakeside Western restaurant. The three of them sat down, ordered steak sets, asked for red wine, and began to eat slowly. 。A girl like He Xue from Hangzhou, would probably prefer Western food to Chinese food on a regular basis. 。Xiao Zheng and Ma Kai usually eat and drink a lot, they don't really care what they eat. 。After the three of them had each taken a sip of red wine, Ma Kai asked, "Has the Organization Department informed you when you'll be going to Ninggan" Xiao Zheng and He Xue looked at each other, somewhat bewildered, and replied, "No..." 。"The Organization Department has informed you" Ma Kai said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I received the notice already. I thought you all had gotten it too!"d, his phone rang. 。Fewer people nowadays use Xiao Xing mobile phones. 。Xiao Xing shi shifted his gaze from the camphor tree canopy and walked to his desk to retrieve his phone. He saw that it was "Si...
