When Cao Rui called Dayunshan Town, he certainly couldn't say that the county magistrate was going to the cafeteria to eat. He said that he was an officer of the Propaganda Department and was doing citrus publicity research in Dayunshan Town. He asked Dayunshan Town if he could Work meals cannot be arranged.

Jin Xuecheng, director of the Party and Government Office of Dayunshan Town, was a cadre who was re-employed after retirement. The people below received a call to give him feedback. He did not go to verify it at all and directly ordered:

"It's nothing to have a working meal. Today is Mayor Qianzhong's birthday. We are having a dinner together. There are not many people eating in the cafeteria. I guess there are not many dishes cooked. You arrange for the cafeteria to rush out a few dishes at short notice!

Check to see if they are drinking. If they are drinking, you should accompany them! "

Jin Xuecheng said so, leaving one person on duty in the office, Wang Ziji, and Cao Rui. When the three of them arrived, the courtyard of the town government was empty.

After parking the car, Cao Rui got out of the car. Yi Yong had already gone over and opened Ling Feng's car door.

Ling Feng stretched out his arms and squinted at the sunset in the sky: "Is Dayunshan Town so quiet today? I heard that they have vigorous sports activities, so why is the stadium so empty?"

As Ling Feng spoke, the office prince Ji came over and asked:

"Excuse me, are you Director Cao of the Propaganda Department?"

Cao Rui said:

"Yes, I'm hungry and came to ask for help from you!"

Wang Ziji was very well-behaved. He was a young man and had only been working for more than a year. He handed out a pack of cigarettes to Cao Rui and others in a good manner, and then took the three of them to a small room in the cafeteria.

Ling Feng asked: "Why is your yard so quiet today?"

Wang Ziji said: "These days are the citrus picking season, and the leaders are busy going to the countryside. Some people go back directly after going to the countryside..."

"By the way, boss, would you like to have a drink tonight?"

Cao Rui looked at Ling Feng, and Ling Feng waved his hand: "Let's stop drinking. Let's eat something to go on the road!"

Although Wang Ziji arranged a small room, the dishes were still the big pot dishes in the cafeteria. There were three or four plates, one plate of stir-fried dried meat, one plate of cauliflower, one plate of fried chicken gizzards with chili, and some bok choy. There were no other dishes. What a show, a bit like leftovers.

Wang Ziji went out, and Cao Rui said:

"Boss, I made a mistake today and made an irrational suggestion! The cafeteria life in Dayunshan is a bit rough!"

Ling Feng said:

"We're late, I think it's great to experience real cafeteria life!"

Cao Rui smiled bitterly. He regretted not sending a text message to Tang Rong. This scene was a bit embarrassing because Ling Feng was informal, otherwise Cao Rui felt that he would not be able to stand on stage.

Fortunately, Wang Ziji was more flexible. He went out for a while and brought two plates of hot dishes over and said:

"Boss, the food cooked in the cafeteria today is not enough. I asked them to cook two hot dishes at the last minute, and the leaders just made do with it!"

Ling Feng was really hungry, so he nodded with chopsticks: "This is good, this is good, we will definitely be full!"

When Wang Ziji came out again, he felt something was wrong, because Jin Xuecheng told him to receive Director Cao, but now among the three people, Director Cao is obviously not the leader, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Ziji thought that among these three people, there wouldn't be a leader of the Propaganda Department, right?

He then looked at the car parked outside. It was a Toyota car, which was a grade higher than the Santana or domestic Cheetah off-road cars used by ordinary leaders.

He went back to the office and called Jin Xuecheng to tell him about it. Jin Xuecheng thought he was drunk and said:

"What leader doesn't lead? Our leaders in Dayunshan are Secretary Tang and Mayor Chen. You don't need to care about other leaders!"

Wang Ziji hit a snag and didn't dare to speak anymore, while Jin Xuecheng hung up the phone and raised his glass to toast Chen Qianzhong!

Chen Qianzhong asked what was going on. Jin Xuecheng mentioned what Wang Ziji said. Chen Qianzhong stood up and said:

"Just in time, just in time! The wine has bottomed out. Xiao Zhao, you ride a motorcycle and we will get two bottles of wine. Let me take a look at whose car it is?"

Chen Qianzhong returned to the town government on his motorcycle. After getting off the car, he used the strength of his drink to get close to the car and looked at the license plate. He was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked up and saw a gust of wind blowing over him.

It was already October, and when the cold wind of cold dew blew, Chen Qianzhong was so excited that he woke up completely from the wine.

Besides, Cao Rui and the three of them were full. Yi Yong went out to find toothpicks and winked at Cao Rui when he came back.

Cao Rui asked: "What's going on?"

Yi Yong nuzzled outside, and Cao Rui looked out through the window. The lights outside were on, and there were ten or twenty people standing outside in darkness.

When Ling Feng walked out, Tang Rong and Chen Qianzhong wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow down.

Especially Tang Rong, he lowered his head and said:

"County Magistrate Ling, we made a huge mistake today and it was too inappropriate! As the leader, I have to bear the main responsibility! I will review it!"

Ling Feng said:

"Tang Rong, why are you so nervous? We came back from a meeting in Wude and got hungry on the way. Come and experience the food in your town cafeteria. What mistake did you make?"

“The food is good! Especially the fragrant stir-fried pork is delicious!”

Tang Rong's face was green, and Chen Qianzhong lowered his head, not daring to raise his head.

It was his birthday today. So many people drank. A group of people ate and drank. Only the county magistrate was allowed to eat in the cafeteria. When this news spread, it is estimated that Dayunshan Town would become popular throughout the city.

Chen Qianzhong didn't dare to think about how this matter would be spread in the future, and how others would view it.

In official circles, reputation is very important, and Chen Qianzhong seems to be able to imagine his reputation collapsing.

Ling Feng didn't talk much, and this was not the place to make a speech. He briefly chatted with Tang Rong and Chen Qianzhong, and finally emphasized:

"The guy you have in charge of reception today, Xiao Wang, is pretty good. He's very flexible. What happened today has nothing to do with this guy!

So don’t criticize and educate yourself afterwards. Also, other people don’t have any responsibility. Don’t make a small matter a big deal. It’s not good for you, you know? "

After Ling Feng finished speaking, he asked Cao Rui to get in the car, and Yi Yong drove back to Yongping.

The next day was the weekend. Cao Rui worked overtime in the morning and received a call from Tong Yun in the afternoon.

"Director Cao, can you take some time out of your busy schedule so that we can get together in the evening? I know you are busy with work right now, and you usually don't dare to disturb me. I don't dare to call you until this weekend!"

When Cao Rui heard what Tong Yun said, he couldn't refuse.

He came from the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Although everyone in the Radio, Film and Television Bureau got along very poorly at that time, when he came out, Cao Rui had the radio and television label on his forehead.

As the secretary of Radio and Television, Tong Yun couldn't even ask him to have a meal. How would others view this later?

And the place arranged by Tong Yun was also interesting. He said it was in "Turtle Village". If Cao Rui couldn't go elsewhere, he would have to go to "Turtle Village". He thought he was busy during this period and had almost never met Liu Xiaojing. Cao Rui readily agreed to this opportunity.
