Chapter 2134 Liu Xiaoping's Initiative

It was not until Liu Xiaoping walked into the pavilion that Qin Feng made a gesture as if he wanted to get up quickly.

Qin Feng stood up, took two steps towards Liu Xiaoping, and took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Xiaoping.

Liu Xiaoping took Qin Feng's hand and patted the back of his hand: "Is it sorry to have kept you waiting? I just came here after a meeting."

"No, no, I just had a cup of tea with the Secretary General."

"Well, it's getting late, so let's not drink tea and just eat directly!" Liu Xiaoping said to Qin Feng.

Although Liu Xiaoping was talking to Qin Feng, Cao Guanlin, who was standing by, knew that he was talking to him, and he quickly looked at the owner of Meiling Villa and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"It's arranged... It's arranged, Mayor, please come this way." The owner of Meiling Villa said hurriedly, and then invited Liu Xiaoping and Qin Feng to walk into the courtyard.

Walking into the restaurant in the courtyard, the decoration is particularly elegant.

Only Qin Feng, Liu Xiaoping and Cao Guanlin were sitting in the huge restaurant. The rest of the drivers and secretaries were arranged outside, including Li Jianjun who came with Qin Feng.

"Comrade Qin Feng, you must have had hard time studying in Beijing these few months?" Liu Xiaoping asked Qin Feng with a smile.

The waiter next to us kept serving food and pouring wine on the table.

"The study workload is heavy, but I still find time to relax in my busy schedule, so it's not that hard." Qin Feng replied. What he said was actually all nonsense, but when it comes to chatting, nonsense is sometimes important as well, as it can serve as a prelude and ease emotions.

"You won the title of outstanding student in the study class. For this, the Organization Department of the Central Committee specially issued you a commendation order. The Municipal Party Committee has issued a notice requesting people to learn from you. Yes, you have brought honor to our Xiquan Municipal Government."

"Comrade Guanlin, please arrange a meeting of government leaders in the next few days. The main purpose is to learn about Comrade Qin Feng's advanced deeds. At the same time, let Comrade Qin Feng share his learning experience in the study class and tell us his learning experience to improve the theoretical level of our grassroots comrades."

"Qin Feng, please be generous with your advice when the time comes. You must share the advanced theoretical knowledge you learned in the study class with our comrades in Xiquan so that we can all learn and make progress together." Liu Xiaoping said with a smile.

Qin Feng kept saying yes on the surface, but he was actually wondering in his heart what Liu Xiaoping wanted to do by being so enthusiastic towards him today?

Liu Xiaoping sat there chatting with Qin Feng, and Cao Guanlin sat on the side and echoed them.

The owner of Meiling Villa sent the waiter away and personally poured wine for Liu Xiaoping and Qin Feng. Then he stood aside and respectfully introduced each special dish to Liu Xiaoping.

Afterwards, when all the dishes were served, the owner of Meiling Villa was very smart and sensible. He held the glass and toasted Liu Xiaoping with a glass of wine. Then he said that he would not disturb the leaders' meal and walked out, closing the door. Only Liu Xiaoping, Qin Feng and Cao Guanlin were left in the room.

"Qin Feng, come, let's clink glasses first to congratulate you on your triumphant return from the training class." Liu Xiaoping said to Qin Feng while holding up the glass.

Qin Feng smiled slightly, raised his glass, clinked it with Liu Xiaoping, and then took a sip.

If it were in the past, regardless of whether Qin Feng had a conflict with Liu Xiaoping or not, he would be at a psychological disadvantage when facing Liu Xiaoping.

This disadvantage is equivalent to inferiority complex. After all, the gap between him and Liu Xiaoping is too big. Liu Xiaoping can completely despise him, but he must look up to Liu Xiaoping.

But today is completely different.

Although Liu Xiaoping is still the mayor and his status is much higher than Qin Feng, Qin Feng can now look at Liu Xiaoping on an equal footing.

Not only can Qin Feng look Liu Xiaoping in the eye, but Liu Xiaoping must also look Qin Feng in the eye.

"The mayor must have called me here today not just to congratulate me on my successful graduation from the training class, right?" Qin Feng didn't want to continue playing guessing games with Liu Xiaoping, so he made it clear directly.

"You are still like this, quick-witted and outspoken, but that's good too. Okay, then let's eat and talk at the same time!" Liu Xiaoping took the initiative to pick up his chopsticks.

"Although the incident with Huang Jiancheng happened when you were studying in Beijing, I think you must be more aware of it."

"I didn't expect Huang Jiancheng to have such a big problem. I bear a great responsibility for this matter..." Liu Xiaoping began to speak seriously.

Everyone knows the relationship between Huang Jiancheng and Liu Xiaoping, but Liu Xiaoping is not involved in Huang Jiancheng's affairs this time, so Liu Xiaoping can say these "high-sounding" words and Qin Feng can only pretend to listen.

Huang Jiancheng's affairs did not involve Liu Xiaoping, which was somewhat expected and unreasonable for Qin Feng. This was enough to show that Liu Xiaoping had a very deep background in the province, otherwise Huang Jiancheng's case would not have been limited to Huang Jiancheng himself, and Liu Xiaoping would not have been affected at all.

Or perhaps this incident itself was the result of a game of mutual negotiation and compromise among various forces in the province. The details are unknown, but it is certain that Liu Xiaoping has deep connections in the province.

"The organization has already talked to you, right?" After saying a lot of high-sounding words about Huang Jiancheng's corruption case, Liu Xiaoping finally turned to Qin Feng.

"We've already talked about it." Qin Feng nodded while eating. This matter was actually known to everyone.

"When the organization was considering the candidate for executive vice mayor and asked for my opinion, I directly recommended you to the organization," Liu Xiaoping continued.

Qin Feng was not surprised at all when he heard Liu Xiaoping's words. He just smiled slightly, nodded, and waited for Liu Xiaoping to continue.

If it were a few years ago, Qin Feng would definitely be surprised, or he would feel disgusted in his heart.

But now Qin Feng has faced this situation very calmly, because he has seen it too many times and is no longer surprised. Liu Xiaoping can say whatever he wants and he just needs to listen.

In fact, Liu Xiaoping underestimated Qin Feng. In his opinion, Qin Feng was too young and he could take him down with some tricks.

Liu Xiaoping continued to talk about the difficulties the municipal government was currently facing and the reasons why he recommended Qin Feng. Qin Feng listened silently.

"Mayor, I won't say much more. I'll just offer you a toast to express my gratitude. I hope you will continue to support me in my work in the future." After Liu Xiaoping finished speaking, Qin Feng raised his glass and clinked glasses with Liu Xiaoping.

The three of them were the main leaders of the municipal government, so naturally they talked about the city government's affairs during the meal, and they finished the meal in a casual manner.

After dinner, Qin Feng didn't wait for Liu Xiaoping to talk to him about what they should talk about, which made Qin Feng somewhat confused. It was impossible that Liu Xiaoping invited him to dinner just to talk nonsense.

"It's still early. Come, Qin Feng, have a cup of tea with me and let's chat." After dinner, Liu Xiaoping took the initiative to invite Qin Feng to the yard for tea, but this time Cao Guanlin did not follow. In the pavilion, there were only Qin Feng and Liu Xiaoping besides a few beautiful waitresses.
