Chapter 1913 2 Boxes of Fruit

First of all, this Deng Xiaogang is the son of a certain leader, otherwise he would not have deliberately mentioned his father.

Secondly, judging from the fact that the other party kept saying "province", his father should be a leader in the province. If he was just the son of a leader in Xiquan City, the other party would not dare to speak to Qin Feng like this, and Wu Zhitao would not be so flattering and respectful to him. Of course, if he was just the son of a leader in Xiquan City, he would not be qualified to sit at this table and eat with Qin Feng.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng roughly understood the value of this "second-generation official" in front of him, but he still didn't know which provincial leader's son he was.

Of course, in this situation, it is impossible for the other party to take the initiative to publicly say which provincial leader's son he is, and Qin Feng would not be stupid enough to ask first, because this is a taboo.

"Thank you for your kindness, leader." Qin Feng said with a smile. Because he didn't know whose son the other person was, he could only deal with him with the word "leader".

"Mayor Qin, I'm a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. I heard that Mayor Qin is also a straightforward person, so I'll speak out today."

"Of course, Master Deng, please accept my orders first." Because Qin Feng roughly knew the other party's identity, he had no choice but to be respectful. There was no other way, this circle was like this.

"Mayor Qin, you are in charge of the Tai'an County relocation poverty alleviation project. Mr. Li is my good friend, and he wants to take over this project. So please ask Secretary Wu to help connect us today and invite Mayor Qin to have a meal together. In the future, please ask Mayor Qin to help and take care of this project." Deng Xiaogang put forward his request directly without any detours.

To Qin Feng, it sounded like Deng Xiaogang was not asking him for help, but rather giving him orders directly.

"Mr. Deng is too polite. Mr. Deng has spoken personally. As long as it does not violate the principles, I will naturally take care of it wherever I can. Although this project is a poverty alleviation project and I am in charge, the project is located in Tai'an County, and the engineering is mainly under the responsibility of the Tai'an County Government. So if we want to take care of it, it mainly depends on Secretary Wu."

Although Qin Feng was unhappy, there was no need to offend anyone. For those who work in official circles, the worst thing they could do was to offend people, especially big leaders. So Qin Feng was not that stupid. Of course he would make a verbal promise, which was something without any burden.

The rest of the dinner was very conventional. Mr. Li kept urging people to drink, and Wu Zhitao took the opportunity to toast Mr. Deng. Qin Feng couldn't be as flattering as Wu Zhitao, and he was too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Deng. At most, he just went through the motions.

When they were almost done eating, Qin Feng asked to leave. Boss Li pulled Qin Feng aside and said he wanted to take a bath, but Qin Feng refused.

Qin Feng left, and Wu Zhitao politely wanted to see Qin Feng out.

"Mayor Qin, please take care of this project." Wu Zhitao said to Qin Feng as they walked.

Although Qin Feng has been in this circle for so many years, he is still not as thick-skinned as Wu Zhitao. He can't be like Wu Zhitao who can completely pretend that nothing happened between him and Qin Feng.

"When Secretary Wu said take care of something, does he mean take care of your Tai'an County or take care of Mr. Deng?" Qin Feng asked.

Wu Zhitao naturally understood what Qin Feng meant by asking this question, and said with a smile: "Taking care of Mr. Deng means taking care of our Tai'an County."

"Now you have to tell me who this Mr. Deng is, right?" Qin Feng asked.

In fact, Wu Zhitao could have told Qin Feng who Mr. Deng was and whose son he was before Qin Feng went here for dinner, but Wu Zhitao didn't say a word. It was obvious that Wu Zhitao had no good intentions. If Qin Feng wasn't smart enough, he would have roughly inferred from Mr. Deng's words and deeds that he was the son of a senior leader in the province. Maybe he would have offended Mr. Li today.

From Wu Zhitao's attitude, Qin Feng could guess that Wu Zhitao was not "compromising" to invite him to dinner today, but Wu Zhitao was just "following orders" and had to take the initiative to bow his head to Qin Feng and invite Qin Feng to dinner.

"Mayor Qin is so smart and has connections everywhere. He definitely doesn't want me to tell him who Mr. Deng is. Besides, I'm just following orders. I know nothing about Mr. Deng's identity, just like Mayor Qin." Wu Zhitao smiled.

Looking at Wu Zhitao's appearance, Qin Feng wanted to slap Wu Zhitao, but he couldn't help it.

Wu Zhitao was extremely flattering to Mr. Deng, so it was impossible for him not to know Mr. Deng's identity, but he refused to tell Qin Feng. As for what Wu Zhitao said about following orders, Qin Feng knew that Wu Zhitao was following Liu Xiaoping's orders.

"Wu Zhitao, this project is a poverty alleviation project. You know better than me how hard it is for the people in your Yanggang Village. Please be more respectful and don't take the poverty alleviation money from the people of Yanggang Village." Qin Feng looked at Wu Zhitao and said.

"Mayor Qin, you shouldn't say this to me. You should say it to Mr. Deng and our mayor. You don't think that I, Wu Zhitao, have the right to speak in this, do you?" Wu Zhitao looked at Qin Feng with disdain.

Qin Feng smiled, said nothing, turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as Qin Feng came downstairs and came to the car, Li Haiqing ran over: "Mayor Qin, please stay!"

"Mr. Li, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Feng turned around and asked.

"Mayor Qin, my hometown is rich in kiwis, so I brought two boxes of kiwis. Please have a taste." Li Haiqing was followed by a man holding two boxes of fruit.

Qin Feng took a look at the two boxes of fruits. They were wrapped tightly and looked no different from ordinary fruits.

"Mr. Li, you are too polite, but I don't usually eat fruit. It would be a waste for me to have this fruit. I appreciate Mr. Li's kindness, but I'd better forget about the kiwi." Qin Feng replied indifferently and prepared to get in the car.

"Mayor Qin, although kiwi fruit is not valuable, it is a specialty of our hometown. The taste is different from that of other places. You will know it after you try it." After Li Haiqing said this, he ran to the front and asked the driver to open the trunk. Then he opened the trunk and put the two boxes of fruit into the trunk.

It was just two boxes of ordinary fruits, and Qin Feng didn't want to take it too seriously. Besides, there was a Master Deng behind Li Haiqing. No matter who this Master Deng was, he was not an ordinary person. Qin Feng didn't need to offend this person, so he didn't stop Li Haiqing's actions.

Li Haiqing personally sent Qin Feng to the car, closed the door, and watched Qin Feng leave.

Qin Feng sat in the back seat of the car, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was odd that Li Haiqing sent two boxes of fruit.

In all these years as an official, he has never seen any boss send him something as cheap as fruit. Even when he was the director of the Management Committee of the Economic Development Zone, no one sent him just fruit, let alone now that he has become the deputy mayor.

If Li Haiqing usually does things this way, how could he get to know Mr. Deng? How could he be qualified to get involved in such a government project worth hundreds of millions?

"Stop the car! Li Jianjun, go open the two boxes of fruit in the back and see what's inside." Qin Feng suddenly shouted.
