Zhang Xiaobai came to Huaibei for two days, drank from noon to evening yesterday, drank a big wine at noon today, and Wang Chenggong came back in the evening to continue drinking.

Therefore, in the past two days, Zhang Xiaobai has basically not been idle, and has been drinking and drinking.

At this time, Zou Yifan called.

"I'm in Huaibei, where are you?"

"I'm at my little sister's house!" Zhang Xiaobai replied.

"Do you have a car, let's meet!" Zou Yifan said.

"I can't drive a car anymore, I'm drinking, not to mention I don't have a car." Zhang Xiaobai replied.

"Then I'll pick you up!"

Obviously, Zou Yifan attaches great importance to Zhang Xiaobai and comes to pick it up in person.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaobai got into a Passata.

Looking at the car, Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "The secretary of the municipal party committee will drive me, Brother Zou, is this considered a leader treatment?" ”

Zou Yifan smiled: "You are the treatment of a younger brother." ”

Zhang Xiaobai's heart is very warm, a leader is just a leader, maybe not a friend, and his younger brother is a relative.

The pro-estrangement and proximity are clear.

Zou Yifan said: "What's the matter? Drink some more? ”

Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Cheng, I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman!" ”

In Zhang Xiaobai's concept, wine is a good thing, especially with friends, this thing can help fun.

As soon as you drink a little wine, you can talk about everything in the past and the future.

Although he likes wine, Zhang Xiaobai doesn't drink often, and he basically doesn't serve a wine glass when he is alone, and he has to pay attention to the occasion and atmosphere when drinking.

Zou Yifan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, spare you tonight, let's drink it another day!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Yes, I guess I will come here often in the near future!" ”

Zou Yifan pulled Zhang Xiaobai to a teahouse, and the two entered a private room.

Obviously, Zou Yifan often comes here, and the waiter is very familiar with him, and he is very enthusiastic, and finally alarmed the boss and came to make tea in person.

The boss is a woman of about forty years old, with a good appearance, just the right way to talk and behave, and quite skillful in the tea ceremony.

Looking at this proprietress, Zhang Xiaobai thought of Sister Jing, and it seemed that the two of them were the same way.

A businessman who makes money by talking is a strong woman.

Zou Yifan said with a smile: "Sister Hu, they are all businessmen, you can leave after paying tribute to Mr. Zhang!" ”

The woman was surprised in her heart, this big secretary has always been unsmiling, and rarely comes here with businessmen, what's wrong today?

Picking up the teacup, the woman smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I respect you!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled: "Sister Hu, I respect you!" ”

Zou Yifan said: "Sister Hu, don't get me wrong, although he is a businessman, he is also my younger brother!" ”

The woman's name was Hu Ling, and she smiled and said, "No matter who it is, Secretary Zou is here, don't worry, my side is tight!" ”

Then Hu Ling said goodbye and left.

Zhang Xiaobai looked at the woman's back, nodded and said yes.

Zou Yifan said angrily: "What are you thinking? ”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled: "Brother Zou, are you married?" ”

Zou Yifan said: "Nonsense, I'm in my forties, can I not get married?" Children will play soy sauce! ”

Zhang Xiaobai pretended to be surprised, then raised his eyebrows, and said very dissatisfied: "When did it happen?" Brother Zou, you are too uninteresting, you didn't even tell me when you got married! Hum! ”

Unknowingly, Zou Yifan fell into Zhang Xiaobai's trap, and learned from his little sister that Brother Zou would inevitably take this matter to blame, so it was better to take the initiative.

Zou Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, pointed at Zhang Xiaobai and said with a wry smile: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you are still so cunning, Cheng, I don't blame you!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai picked up the teacup and hurriedly apologized with a smile.

After drinking a cup of tea each, the two stared at each other with wide eyes, and then blurted out two words at the same time.

"Nothing has changed!"

In appearance, there is no change in each other.

Zhang Xiaobai said solemnly: "Brother Zou, the little white man has not changed, and his heart has not changed!" ”

Zou Yifan said seriously: "Brother Zou hasn't changed! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zou Yifan said: "Actually, we don't have many opportunities to get along, but I don't know why, I treat you as a friend, in my life, there are only three or two real friends, you are one of them!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm too good!" ”

Zou Yifan laughed and scolded to get out, and then began to sigh, "After so many years, it turns out that a small salesman has become the chairman of the big boss." ”

About everything about Zhang Xiaobai, Zou Yifan has inquired with Bao Xiaomei, and he is really happy for him.

Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Yes, after so many years, the original secretary of the county party committee has become the secretary of the municipal party committee!" ”

Zou Yifan shook his head and smiled bitterly, this guy is always so sharp-toothed, "Follow the old leader to Huaibei, and then be valued by the big leader, so that today's creation!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai restrained his smile, picked up the teacup and said seriously: "Brother Zou, whether it is official career or business, I wish us a smooth journey!" ”

Zou Yifan said: "Don't forget your heart, go forward separately, even if the road is different, they all lead to glory!" ”

The two clinked glasses again.

After the old story, it was time to get down to business.

Zou Yifan asked, "What is the matter with you coming to Huaibei?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai said: "My friend values the land in the central area and wants to bid for it!" ”

Zou Yifan frowned and asked, "Your business or your friend's business?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai said: "It's no different from my business, in fact, it does have something to do with me, and I won't be able to explain it for a while!" ”

Zou Yifan said: "I won't be able to tell for a while, so I keep saying, anyway, I'm asking for leave with your sister-in-law!" ”

Everyone cares about different things, Zhang Xiaobai thinks it doesn't matter, but Zou Yifan takes it very seriously.

Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette and talked about it, focusing on the grievances and grievances with the Yuan family.

Zou Yifan listened in detail, raised his eyebrows slightly in his movedness, and sighed softly in the bitterness, although he couldn't empathize, it was enough to understand his brother's difficulty.

It seems that Zhang Xiaobai is shining now, but not many people can understand the hardships he has experienced behind him.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaobai finally finished speaking.

Zou Yifan asked, "Do you know why I want to know this?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head, it was really unclear.

Zou Yifan said: "First, I want to know your past, although I have heard my little sister talk about it, it is just some approximation, not as true as what you said." ”

"Second, the leader of the parcel in the central area takes it very seriously, I want to know the ins and outs of the matter, because only in this way can I find a way to help you!"

To be a secretary is to serve the leader, and it is necessary to grasp the leader's mind and weigh the pros and cons before he can speak to the leader's heart.

Only then did Zhang Xiaobai understand Zou Yifan's good intentions, and asked: "Brother Zou, this is basically what happened, I just want to ask, is this bidding boring?" ”
