Chapter 1211

So Old Zheng twisted the door open and walked in, and the others followed one after another. After entering, Old Zheng saw Li Changping sitting on the sofa smoking, looking radiant. He knew at a glance that he had been drinking, so he walked up with a smile, sat down, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old Li, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Li Changping borrowed the drunkenness and complained somewhat, "Old Zheng, you said you would play mahjong, but you are so dawdling. When I need help, your legs run faster than anyone else."

"Isn't this here?" Old Zheng said with a smile.

Li Changping laughed a few times, looked up, and saw that Lin Dafa had also come, so he greeted him, "Boss Lin is also here, sit down."

Lin Dafa nodded with a smile and sat down on the sofa.

Old Zheng glanced at He Liping, who was standing on the side looking a bit cramped, patted Li Changping on the shoulder, and introduced, "Old Li, I haven't introduced you yet. This He Liping, Xiao He, is the deputy director of the Construction Commission you promoted this time. Haven't you met yet?"

Before Old Zheng could hint, He Liping walked up with extreme enthusiasm, smiling, bending over, and reaching out her jade hand to greet, "Deputy Minister Li, hello, hello."

"Deputy Director He, hello." Because He Liping was a mature woman with a good figure and appearance, due to a man's instinctive reaction to seeing a beauty, Li Changping's attitude improved immediately. He appeared extremely enthusiastic, slightly raised his buttocks, reached out his hand, and shook her hand.

After shaking hands, Li Changping's drunkenness seemed to wake up immediately. He pointed to the sofa and said, "Xiao He, sit down, don't always stand."

He Liping then smiled gently and sat down on the side.

Li Changping picked up the stainless steel tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said to He Liping in a joking tone, "Xiao He, you say I spent so much effort to promote you from the Municipal Construction Commission to the Provincial Construction Commission, but you don't come to visit me and thank me."

Indeed, because He Liping had only taken office for two or three days, and Old Zheng had been busy dealing with the problems left over from Ma Debang's procurement these two days, he was not in a hurry to take He Liping to visit Li Changping in person. As soon as he said this, Old Zheng immediately explained for He Liping, "Old Li, Li..." Old Zheng habitually prepared to blurt out "Liping," but realized that calling He Liping by her name without a surname in front of so many people seemed too intimate, so he changed his words and continued, "Xiao He has only been in the unit for two days, and many work matters have not been figured out. I was also afraid that you would be busy, Old Li. I was planning to visit you at home in a few days."

He Liping said with a slightly apologetic look, "I just came from the city to work in the provincial unit. Indeed, many things have not been figured out. I failed to visit Deputy Minister Li in time. You are a great person, don't take it to heart."

Li Changping took a sip of tea and laughed nonchalantly, "I'm just joking, just joking. What kind of relationship do I have with Old Zheng? Xiao He is a person Old Zheng values. Visiting is exempted. Besides, Old Zheng also knows my character. I don't usually let people visit my home easily. Today, you can follow Old Zheng to accompany me to play mahjong and have some entertainment, which is considered a heart."

Li Changping sat on the side with his secretary, listening to Li Changping, Old Zheng, and He Liping talking about internal agency matters with a smile. He couldn't get a word in, so he took out a pack of "He Tianxia" cigarettes produced by Hunan China Tobacco, got up, and respectfully handed them to Li Changping and Old Zheng: "Deputy Minister Li, Director Zheng, smoke."

Li Changping and Old Zheng each took a cigarette. Lin Dafa's lighter was handed over, and he lit cigarettes for the two leaders before lighting one for himself and sitting down.

"What kind of cigarette is this? The taste is okay." Li Changping took a puff, feeling that this cigarette had a soft taste without any irritation, so he looked at the words on the filter and talked to himself.

Seeing this, Old Zheng also picked up the cigarette he had taken a puff of and looked at it carefully. "He Tianxia," he read the brand on the filter while looking at it.

"Old Lin, this cigarette shouldn't be cheap, right?" Li Changping took a puff and asked with a smile.

Lin Dafa answered respectfully with a smile, "It's not expensive for you, Deputy Minister Li, just one hundred yuan."

Perhaps Lin Dafa really said the wrong thing for a moment, or perhaps Li Changping was timid. Hearing Lin Dafa say this, he put on a stern face and said in a very serious tone, "Boss Lin, let me tell you, don't think that all of us leading cadres are good cigarettes and good wine every day. There are many leaders who have lost their official hats because of this kind of sky-high cigarette. Isn't Zhou Jiugeng of the Nanjing Forestry Bureau an example last year? I don't usually smoke such expensive cigarettes. Look, look at what cigarettes I have in my pocket." In order to prove that he was a self-disciplined cadre, Li Changping actually took out a pack of ten-yuan Haomao cigarettes produced locally from his suit pocket. However, the cigarette box was already wrinkled, and one could see at a glance that it had some history on him. In fact, it was a prop that Li Changping deliberately pretended to be when he was with other provincial leaders to show his innocence.

Old Zheng continued, "Exactly, Boss Lin, you don't know Deputy Minister Li's character very well. Deputy Minister Li can't be said to be clean, but he is indeed very self-disciplined and never violates organizational regulations. I know this very clearly."

Li Changping actually laughed shamelessly, "Old Zheng, look at what you said. We don't talk about being an official for the people, but we have indeed never done anything to apologize to the Party and the country."

Lin Dafa realized that his previous sentence was not very appropriate, so he didn't dare to say anything, just nodded and said yes.

"Old Li, why don't we start?" Old Zheng kept in mind the purpose of coming today, looked at the automatic mahjong table next to him, and suggested.

"Okay, let's start, everyone have some entertainment." Li Changping said, got up, walked up, and sat down at the mahjong table.

Old Zheng, He Liping, and Lin Dafa sat down one after another. The three of them looked at each other tacitly. On the mahjong table, they were ready to send money to Li Changping through this decent way.
