Chapter Fourteen
When Secretary Li and his group caught up again, Wang Batian obviously noticed a little different attitude. Wang Batian was still very curious about this. What happened?
Of course, Wang Batian couldn't understand his political mind, and he didn't even know that Bai Dehou was a person who valued education very much. Fortunately, Wang Batian had a good habit and simply didn't think about things he couldn't understand.
After walking around the shanty town, the originally forgotten corner was once again recalled, which made Wang Batian more or less touching the scene, so Secretary Li did not refuse the invitation to the banquet.
Wang Batian was unhappy and naturally did not dare to talk about proportion. He watched Wang Batian leave with Secretary Li and Deputy Director Chengjianxia. Of course, it was not only these real representatives of the residents, but also Zhang Xiaohui looked at the Audi leaving with eagerness. He also wanted to meet Wang Batian alone.
Secretary Li did not have a car. Although he came by the district committee’s car, when he left, he chose Wang Batian’s Audi car. This was an opportunity to make friends with Wang Batian, and Secretary Li didn’t want to give up.
Deputy Director Xia of Urban Construction has a good relationship with Wang Batian, so there is no need to lean over so obviously at this time, driving his own Santana closely behind Audi.
When Wang Batian seemed a little in the car, Secretary Li, the co-pilot, suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Wang doesn't mind meeting more friends!"
Wang Batian didn't think much, and nodded directly: "I'll never think there are too many friends."
After saying this, Wang Batian seemed to understand what Secretary Li meant. Is he trying to bring himself into the circle? Secretary Bai of the district committee?
Thinking of this, Wang Batian was a little confused. After all, he was also the person of District Mayor Zhao. Although District Mayor Zhao had died of illness, it was less than a month before District Mayor Zhao's death, and the label on him had not been completely removed.
What Wang Batian could not have imagined was that Secretary Li made this decision because of Wang Batian's impulsive New Third Middle School project. If it weren't for that sentence, it would probably take at least half a year to a year to integrate into the district party secretary's circle.
Just when Wang Batian was thinking about these things, Secretary Li had already called out one by one. Although he couldn't hear clearly what was being said on the other side of the phone, Secretary Li's expression was obviously fine.
This is normal. The circle of the officialdom always needs some businessmen to support it. After all, it is the economic era. The economy is equivalent to political achievements. Without great achievements, even if you are promoted, you will seem so unstable.
"You are familiar with these people, including Director Wang Liqiang and Director Wang of the Education Bureau, Director Cao of the Public Security Bureau, and Deputy Director Zhao, who is in charge of education. Including Director Xia and me, we will help each other in the future!"
Even if Secretary Li chuckled, even if he made an invitation, what could Wang Batian do in the face of this situation? He could only agree with a smile. Without District Mayor Zhao, following Bai Dehou is undoubtedly the best choice now.
Speaking of which, there are many people who want to change camps now, but only Wang Batian and Xia Qiubin, deputy director of Urban Construction, are truly successful. Moreover, Xia Qiubin is still benefiting from Wang Batian's glory.
South City Reception:
Compared with the ******* in Beijiang, although the luxury here is much lower, most of the people who can enter and exit here are capable people in Nancheng. After all, Nancheng reception is not open to the public.
With the District Party Secretary and District Mayor of Bai Dehou, now Secretary Li is now rising. When Bai Dehou is not around, he will use the No. 1 private room and who dares to say anything?
To be honest, it is the first time Wang Batian has come to this suite. No matter how energetic District Mayor Zhao is in Nancheng District, he cannot cover up the reality that he is the second-in-command. Many times, he can say that but the position must be corrected. That is a taboo in the officialdom. If you, the second-in-command, use the No. 1 private room to entertain people, what do you think about this?
There is not much difference between the No. 1 private room and the No. 2 private room. The only difference may be the difference in the numbers at the door, just like the original license plate of the top leader of the district party committee and the license plate of the top leader of the district government.
When Wang Batian and Secretary Li came, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and the director of the Education Bureau were already sitting in the private room, but Deputy District Mayor Zhao had to come a while later because of some trivial matters. Of course, Wang Batian probably probably wasn't because of his identity.
No matter how high Secretary Li has a high status or how powerful he has, he is just a secretary, just a secretary who enjoys the deputy section level. Why do you want the deputy district mayor at the deputy section level to wait for you?
Wang Batian? Wang Batian has this qualification, but the organizer is Secretary Li and not Wang Batian after all, right? Therefore, the current situation is here.
The sudden arrival of the three of them gave the reception a lot of idle people. Cooperating with them, they ordered the No. 1 suite and the direct descendant of Secretary Bai who had arrived. Rumors about changes in the high-level areas in Nancheng District began to rise.
When Wang Batian entered the door, Wang Liqiang, director of the Education Bureau, who was originally chatting, and Deputy Director Cao of the Public Security Bureau, hurriedly stood up. This not only gave Secretary Li a face but also gave Wang Batian face.
"Lao Jiu, why did you come so early?"
As soon as we met, Secretary Li greeted him very kindly. From his name, we can see that the relationship between them is very unusual. After all, you don’t dare to call someone who is slightly unfamiliar with them.
Lao Jiu refers to Deputy Director Cao of the Public Security Bureau. Since childhood, he has been ranked Lao Jiu, so people who are familiar with him call him Lao Jiu directly. This is also a way to distinguish between acquaintances and strangers!
"I have known Mr. Wang for several years, but this is the first time I have such a table. From today on, we are our own people. If you have any help, Mr. Wang can speak."
Although Director Wang from the Education Bureau looks like an intellectual with an intellectual face, he speaks very straightforwardly, but such a person is in line with Wang Batian's temperament.
"How old are you? Don't call me Mr. Wang, I don't call you Director Wang. Can we just call me? Brother Wang!"
Two bottles of Wuliangye were already placed on the table. Wang Batian, who had just sat down, didn't say much, poured a cup and raised it to Wang Liqiang. They were all generous people, Wang Liqiang naturally would not think there was anything inappropriate, so he didn't say anything and poured it into a cup and drank it all.
"Lao Wang, your temper is not suitable for being in the Education Bureau, you should come to us!"
Cao Laojiu was joking, and Wang Liqiang looked at him with dissatisfaction and did not answer at all. This gesture made Secretary Li and Wang Batian laugh, and Xia Qiubin was also laughing, but after all, he had no relationship with the people here, so he laughed a little embarrassedly.
"Old Xia, we have known each other for many years. Now District Mayor Zhao... Now we are on the same front. How about losing our grudges with a smile?"
Everyone had already spoken on their own initiative. What else could Xia Qiubin say? He still wanted to do it. He hurriedly filled a cup, looked at each other and drank it all.
