Everyone is here.
The box door was also closed by the waiter with a wink.
The room fell silent for an instant. Li Xiao, who had just arrived, didn't understand what was going on. After sitting down, he could only blink his eyes and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Xu Zhuang and Sun Lihan were a little in disbelief. Is this really Director Li Xiaoli? Is this really what happened? Could it be that Director Li is the one whose general office is in charge of dismantling counties and cities
"Old Zhang." Sun Lihan looked at him dumbfounded, with questioning eyes.
Zhang Dongfang calmly nodded slightly, "It's him." He was the only one who talked to Director Li on the phone. Although he had never met, he recognized his voice. It was Li Xiao, whom they had made two appointments with in the past two days and failed to date. , Zhang Dongfang still has this ability to judge.
Xu Zhuang took a deep breath.
When Sun Lihan saw this, she also looked at Fang Shuiling, who was sitting there innocently.
They had made so many appointments with Director Li, but they always avoided him and had no time to talk to them. But what about Fang Shuiling? The girl Dong Xuebin found actually summoned someone with just one phone call. She didn't make the call in person, but she seemed to have sent a message to Li Xiao. As a result, not only did Director Li come alone, but she even came from the general office. He put down all his work and didn't even wait to get off work. He immediately dropped his things and drove over? Still calling "Ms. Sun" one after another with a reserved look? Looking very uneasy? I go! As far as they know, Li Xiao is a very high-ranking official in the department below the General Office. Not to mention the party-government level, he has great power despite his position. How could he treat a twenty-year-old girl like this? Respect is so polite? Who is this little girl?
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Huh? Come in." Fang Shuiling raised her head and said.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Fang is here, so I came over to take a look. Are you bringing friends for dinner?"
Fang Shuiling smiled and said, "Yes, Boss Chen."
The middle-aged man said: "Eat well and drink well. I just added a few more dishes to you. It's my invitation. Okay, then I won't disturb you."
Fang Shuiling said: "No, Boss Chen, you do this every time I come here."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It's our honor to have Miss Fang patronize us. Of course we have to entertain you. So, I won't disturb your chat. If anything happens, ask the waiter to call me." After that, He closed the door and left, not staying for long, very measured.
Not long after, the food arrived.
Each dish is delicious, delicious and gorgeous just by looking at it. Coupled with the golden plates and cutlery, it adds a bit of nobility.
Fang Shuiling then remembered, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Look at my brain." She immediately said, "This is Director Li Xiaoli."
Zhang Dongfang, Sun Lihan and the others hurriedly stood up.
Fang Shuiling continued: "This is Zhang Dongfang, the magistrate of Jiaolin County, and this is..."
Jiao Neighboring County? Zhang Dongfang? Li Xiaocai suddenly realized this when he heard this. He went up to shake hands with them and said, "It turns out to be County Magistrate Zhang. Let's talk on the phone."
Zhang Dongfang said: "Yes, Director Li, I was really presumptuous the past two days."
"Look at what you said." Li Xiao no longer had the stiff tone when talking to Zhang Dongfang on the phone before, and said with a smile: "I'm the one who's embarrassed. You invited me to dinner. I'm also anxious, but I have nothing on hand. There are so many things going on that I can’t get away from it. If I had been free at that time, I would definitely have gone. I’m really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”
Zhang Dongfang said repeatedly: "You are too polite, no, no."
Li Xiao then said to Fang Shuiling: "Miss Fang, it's up to me. If I had known that these were your friends, I would have put aside the big things for your friends to take care of. In this way..." Drinks are also here. Li Xiao opened the bottle and poured a glass, "I will punish myself with three glasses of wine. I will punish myself with three glasses of wine."
Xuzhuang hurriedly said: "It can't be done, it can't be done."
Fang Shuiling also said: "No, Director Li, why are you so polite? You haven't eaten this dish yet. Why are you drinking? Everyone, sit down. Let's talk while we eat."
Zhang Dongfang also quickly persuaded him.
Li Xiao then put down his wine glass and sat down with them. Regardless of whether he was punished by drinking or not, Li Xiao felt that the attitude he just had had to be adopted, because he didn't know what Fang Shuiling was thinking. Was it because he didn't see Zhang Dongfang and the others and they were reported? , made Fang Shuiling have opinions about herself, so Li Xiao lowered his attitude as soon as he came, feeling unsure. But now it seems that Miss Fang is not angry because of this matter, and Li Xiao is slightly relieved. In fact, he was also wondering, Jiao Neighboring County? Isn't that a small county in an economically backward province in the west? If it hadn't been for the discovery of the ancient tombs of emperors of the Han Dynasty, no one else would have heard of this county. Why is it now related to Miss Fang? How come they still know Fang Shuiling? Even moved Miss Fang out and asked him to come over for dinner? What's the secret here? what relationship? Li Xiao thought a lot in an instant. He was very cautious in doing things and considered more problems, otherwise he would not be where he is today.
"Come on, use your chopsticks."
"Okay Miss Fang."
"Try the hairy crabs here, they taste really good."
"I'll try it. Oh, it's really delicious. It's so delicious."
"Haha, right? This is their signature dish, we will order it every time we come here."
Both Zhang Dongfang and Li Xiao seemed a little reserved and restrained, and did not dare to eat and drink so much. They were thinking more about other things rather than eating.
But Fang Shuiling was much simpler. She didn't have that much official air about her. She was just a pure and real girl. After moving her chopsticks, she greeted others twice and then started to feast on hairy crabs and other dishes. It tasted delicious, and I ate very quietly. My mind was entirely on the food, and I didn't care about other things. She was just a matchmaker this time. She didn't know the details of the specific matter and didn't know how to talk about it, so she just ignored it and acted like "you talk about yours and I only care about eating."
Zhang Dongfang understood clearly. In fact, now, there is no need for Fang Shuiling to say anything more. It is enough for her to sit here.
During the pause, Zhang Dongfang picked up the wine glass and said, "Director Li, let me toast you."
Li Xiaoyi raised his hand to block it, "No, I should give you this cup. We should have met a long time ago, but I was busy with things and delayed it, making you spend two days in the capital in vain. This is my Not thoughtful.”
Zhang Dongfang said quickly: "No, no, it's because we didn't think carefully. We knew you were busy and bothered to come over. It's our respect for you."
The two sides pushed back and forth, but in the end no one paid a toast and just clinked their glasses.
After a glass of wine, Zhang Dongfang got to the point, "Director Li, we are here this time to discuss the removal of county-level cities from our county. Our application has been submitted. I heard that your department is responsible for the review, so We also want to find out what it is..."
Li Xiaobao said: "I have read all your application materials, there should be no big problem."
Zhang Dongfang blinked and asked, "How long do you think it will take for the approval?"
Li Xiaodao: "We are responsible for the approval, but in the end we have to go through the procedures of the general office and submit it to the superiors for approval and signatures from the superiors. Regardless of whether the application is approved or not, the results will definitely be given within two months. It will take a month at the earliest. After all, the approval process for withdrawing from the county and city is very strict now, and it is not that easy, and the procedures are a little more complicated. "
"That's it." Zhang Dongfang was thoughtful. In fact, Director Li can say that the problem is not big, which makes Zhang Dongfang feel more at ease. However, because he is eager and cares too much, he is still a little uneasy because he cannot get a 100% answer from Director Li. .
Xu Zhuang also tried a few words along with him.
Li Xiao still answered with "It's not a big problem." When they are in their position, there are some things they cannot say casually. Even if the matter can be 200% settled, there must be some room for words. This is Li Xiao's They are used to it, and this is also the way they have always spoken. In fact, if you say this, even if you have told Zhang Dongfang and others, the county-level city in Jiao Neighbor County should be a certainty.
While listening, Fang Shuiling put down her chopsticks.
It should work? Not too much of a problem? These answers are somewhat ambiguous.
Fang Shuiling was working for Brother Dong this time, and she was very concerned about it. Of course, she also hoped for a conclusive answer, rather than a rough and probable answer. Otherwise, if Brother Dong asked her to handle such a small thing for the first time, she would mess it up. Fang Shuiling felt that she would never have the face to see Brother Dong in the future. She couldn't afford to embarrass this person, so Fang Shuiling looked up at Li Xiao and said, "It takes so many procedures? It takes so long?"
Li Xiao nodded slightly, "The general office has always been like this, with approvals given one level at a time."
Fang Shuiling said: "This matter must be settled. I have already promised my brother Dong. If it is difficult or unsure, I will call my grandpa and let him ask."
ah
Call your grandpa
Zhang Dongfang and Sun Lihan were still confused.
But how could Li Xiao not know who Fang Shuiling's grandfather was? Hearing this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the table. He raised his hands in confusion and said, "Don't, don't, Miss Fang, that's it." Why bother with the big things? General Manager, the General Manager has a lot of things to do every day. It really doesn’t need to be done. Don’t worry, our department can handle this matter. I will supervise and follow up the whole process to ensure that the neighbors are happy. I guarantee 100% that there will be no problems with the county's withdrawal from the county and city, otherwise you can ask me!" Fang Shuiling was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and Li Xiao didn't even bother to talk about it, and just patted his chest. Got a guaranteed ticket. RS
