Everyone is here.
The box door was also closed by the waiter with a wink.
The room became silent for an instant. Li Xiao, who had just arrived, had no idea what was going on. After sitting down, he could only blink his eyes and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Xu Zhuang and Sun Lihan were in disbelief. Is this person really Li Xiao Director Li? Is this really what happened? Could it be that General Office is in charge of Withdraw County and Establish City's Director Li?
"Lao 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 they had never met, he recognized the voice. It was Li Xiao who they had made two appointments with in the past two days but failed to date. Zhang Dongfang still had this ability to judge.
Xu Zhuang Take a deep breath.
When Sun Lihan saw this, he also looked at the innocent Fang Shuiling sitting there.
They had made so many appointments with Director Li, but they always avoided seeing them. They had no time to talk to them, but what about Fang Shuiling? The girl Dong Xuebin found actually called someone here 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, Director Li not only came alone, she even put down her work at General Office. She didn't even wait to get off work. She immediately dropped her things and drove over? Still shouting "Miss Sun" with a reserved look on his face? Looking very uneasy? I'm going! As far as they know, this Li Xiao is a very high-ranking official in the department below General Office. Not to mention the party-government level, he has a huge position but no power. How can he be so respectful and polite to a twenty-year-old girl? Who is this little girl??
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Huh? Come in." Fang Shuiling raised his head and said.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man. With a smile on his face, he said, "I heard that Miss Fang is coming, so I came over to take a look. Are you bringing friends here 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, "Don't Boss Chen, you do this every time I come here."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Miss Fang It's an honor for us to be able to patronize you. Of course we have to entertain you. So what? I won't disturb you guys for chatting. If you need anything, ask the waiter to call me." After saying that, he closed the door and left, and he didn't stay for a long time. He was very measured.
Not long after. The food is also served.
Each dish is delicious and delicious. Just looking at it makes me feel very gorgeous. 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." Then he said, "This is Li Xiao Director Li."
Zhang Dongfang Sun Lihan They stood up in a hurry.
Fang Shuiling continued, "This is Jiaolin County Chief Zhang Dongfang, this is..."
Jiaolin County? Zhang Dongfang? When he heard this Li Xiao, he suddenly realized it. He went up to shake hands with them and said, "It turns out to be County Chief Zhang. Let's talk on the phone."
Zhang Dongfang said, "Yes Director Li, I was really presumptuous two days ago."
"Look at what you said." Li Xiao had long lost the stiff tone he had when talking to Zhang Dongfang on the phone before, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. You invited me to dinner, and I was anxious. But there were too many things on hand, and I couldn't get away. If I was free at that time, I would definitely go. I'm really sorry for making you wait 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 and finished them for your friends. In this way..." The wine also came, Li Xiao unscrewed the bottle and poured a glass, "I will punish myself with three drinks, I will punish myself with three drinks."
Xu Zhuang said hurriedly, "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 is sitting down, let's talk while eating."
Zhang Dongfang also quickly persuaded.
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, whether it was because he didn't see Zhang Dongfang and they were reported, which made Fang Shuiling have opinions about him, so Li Xiao kept his attitude very low when he came, and he felt 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, Jiaolin County? Isn't that a small county in an economically backward province in the west? If it hadn't been for the discovery of Han Dynasty Emperor's ancient tomb, no one else would have heard of this county. How could it be related to Miss Fang now? How come they still know Fang Shuiling? Even move Miss Fang out and invite yourself to come over for dinner? What's the secret here? What's the relationship? Li Xiao thought a lot in one moment. He was very cautious in doing things and considered a lot of problems, otherwise he wouldn't 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, yes? This is their signature dish, we will order it every time we come here."
Both Zhang Dongfang and Li Xiao seemed a little restrained and restrained, and did not dare to eat and drink so much. They were thinking more about other things instead of 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 the hairy crabs and other dishes. She ate very deliciously and Wen Jing her heart was all about the food and 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 understands. 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 Xiao raised his hand to block it, "No, I should be toasting you with this cup. We should have met a long time ago, but I was busy with things and delayed it, making you spend two days with Capital City. This is because I was not thoughtful."
Zhang Dongfang said quickly, "No, no, we didn't think it through. 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, this time we are here to deal with our county Withdraw County and Establish City. 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 Xiao said conservatively, "I have read all your application materials, there should be no big problem."
Zhang Dongfang blinked and asked, "Then how long do you think it will take for the approval?"
Li Xiao said, "We are responsible for the approval, but in the end we have to go through the General Office procedures, submit them to the superiors, and have them signed by the superiors. Regardless of whether the application is approved or not, the results will definitely be given within two months, and it will take a month at the fastest. After all, the approval of Withdraw County and Establish City is more stringent now, and it is very strict. It is not that easy, and there are more procedures."
"That's it." Zhang Dongfang thought thoughtfully. In fact, Director Li can say this and say that the problem is not big, which makes Zhang Dongfang feel more at ease. However, because he is eager and cares too much, Lao Zhang is still a little uneasy because he cannot get a 100% answer from Director Li.
Xu Zhuang also followed and tried a few words.
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 habit and the way they have always spoken. In fact, if you say this, even if you have told Zhang Dongfang and them, Jiaolin County's County-level City should be a certainty.
While listening, Fang Shuiling put down his chopsticks.
It should work? Not too much of a problem? These answers are somewhat ambiguous.
Fang Shuiling is working for Brother Dong this time. She is very concerned about it. Of course, she also hopes for a conclusive answer, rather than a rough and probable answer. Otherwise, Brother Dong will have to do it for herself if it is the first time Brother Dong asks her to do such a thing. Smashed, Fang Shuiling felt that he would never be able to see Brother Dong in the future. He couldn't afford to embarrass this person, so Fang Shuiling looked up at Li Xiao and said, "It takes so many procedures? Does it take so long?"
Li Xiao nodded slightly, "General Office has always been like this, one level at a time."
Fang Shuiling said, "This matter must be taken down. I have already promised to Brother Dong. If it is difficult or unsure, I will call my grandfather and ask him to ask."
Huh?
Call your grandpa?
Zhang Dongfang and Sun Lihan are 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, don't, Miss Fang. Why bother bothering General Manager Fang for such a big thing? General Manager has everything to do every day. It's really not necessary. It's really not necessary." , Don't worry, our department can handle this matter. I will supervise and follow up throughout the process to ensure that Jiao Neighbor County's withdrawal from the county and city is approved and implemented. I guarantee it 100%! There will definitely be no problem, otherwise you can ask me!" Fang Shuiling broke out in a cold sweat, and Li Xiao didn't care about talking about it, and just patted his chest and said yes.
