Chapter 2155 Wu Zhitao Visits

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, apart from the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xie Zhiguo and the Mayor Liu Xiaoping, no one is worthy of Qin Feng's New Year's greetings, including the Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Duan Hongyu, who in a sense is on the same level as Qin Feng.

The officialdom is a place where identity and status are important and the class system is strict. Once you reach a certain level, you cannot break the rules even if you want to remain humble.

Xie Zhiguo and Qin Feng had already paid their New Year's greetings, but Liu Xiaoping and Qin Feng naturally disdained to pay their New Year's greetings to him.

This is almost the most comfortable year Qin Feng has had since he entered this industry. After all, sitting at home waiting for others to come and wish him a happy new year is far more comfortable than pretending to be a grandson and wishing others a happy new year all day long.

Of course, in this way, Qin Feng once again intuitively felt the sense of superiority brought by power.

At noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qin Feng invited the heads of several municipal units, the governors of two counties and a district party committee secretary to have a New Year's dinner in a restaurant outside. They drank a lot of wine, and then followed the local customs and played mahjong for two hours before letting Wang Jun send them home.

For Qin Feng, the Chinese New Year is finally over. According to the rules of the unit, he will officially go to work tomorrow. For civil servants, the Chinese New Year is completely over, and the new year greetings and receiving new year greetings are also over.

Those who had called Li Jianjun in the past two days and wanted to come to Qin Feng to pay New Year's greetings and had received Qin Feng's tacit approval had all ended at noon.

After drinking for two days and two nights, Qin Feng was very tired, so he came back early after playing mahjong for two hours. He just wanted to come back home to rest alone, get enough rest, and prepare to start the new year's work tomorrow.

But Qin Feng had just returned home, took a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol, changed into clean home clothes, and was about to lie on the sofa to read a book when his cell phone rang.

Qin Feng took the phone and took a look at it. To his surprise, the person who called Qin Feng was actually his "old acquaintance" - Wu Zhitao, secretary of the Tai'an County Party Committee.

Qin Feng and Wu Zhitao have both new and old grudges. They haven't reached the point of a life-and-death conflict, but they have always been incompatible. Fortunately, there is not much direct overlap between the two in business, so they have always kept to themselves.

What Qin Feng didn't expect was that Wu Zhitao would suddenly call him at this time.

Of course, Qin Feng is not a three-year-old child now, and he would not do something as childish as not answering the phone.

"Hello, this is Qin Feng." Qin Feng answered the phone, but did not ask any questions, and did not even call Wu Zhitao's name. This is the leader's first statement, requiring you to state your purpose first.

"Mayor Qin, I am Wu Zhitao from Tai'an. I wish you a happy new year and all the best." Wu Zhitao was very humble.

Of course, it cannot be said that Wu Zhitao can be so humble. Given Qin Feng's current status, it is reasonable for him to be so humble in front of Qin Feng.

"Same to you, Happy New Year and all the best." Qin Feng said perfunctorily. After all, no one should hit a smiling person. It is human nature and basic etiquette to congratulate each other during the Spring Festival.

"Mayor Qin, may I ask if you are at home now? I would like to come to your house to report on my work. I wonder if it would disturb you?" Wu Zhitao continued.

Qin Feng frowned, thought for a while, and finally said, "I'm at home, come over!"

Qin Feng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

If Qin Feng's original intention was followed, he naturally didn't want to see Wu Zhitao, but he also knew that he had to see Wu Zhitao today.

First of all, Wu Zhitao is the secretary of the Tai'an County Party Committee after all. He is also a high-ranking official in the entire Xiquan City and a very important person with real power.

Secondly, since Wu Zhitao called to ask if Qin Feng was at home, it means that he must have known that Qin Feng was at home. At their level, they would never rashly call to ask if the leader was at home before meeting him. Instead, they would first check whether the leader was at home and if there were other people at home before meeting him.

Only after confirming these will they call the leader to ask if he is at home and whether they want to disturb him. Calling the leader is just to show respect, so as not to catch him off guard by going to his house directly. In fact, when making this call, Wu Zhitao might have been sitting in the car in the parking lot downstairs of Qin Feng's building.

Wu Zhitao was about to come over, so Qin Feng went back to his room to change out of his pajamas, put on his usual formal clothes, and sat in the living room, continuing to read a book while waiting for Wu Zhitao to come.

After more than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Feng walked over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were Wu Zhitao and Cui Qiuliang, director of the Tai'an County Party Committee Office.

Qin Feng is also an acquaintance of Cui Qiuliang. When Yi'an County and Tai'an County had a conflict over the pollution incident, it was Cui Qiuliang who was responsible for receiving Qin Feng when he went to Tai'an County to meet Wu Zhitao. Qin Feng still remembers clearly how Cui Qiuliang received him at that time.

"Mayor Qin, Happy New Year." Wu Zhitao stood at the door and stretched out his hand to Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng shook hands with Wu Zhitao.

At this time, Cui Qiuliang, who was standing behind Wu Zhitao, also quickly stretched out his hand and said to Qin Feng in a flattering manner: "Mayor Qin, Happy New Year, and may everything go well..."

Qin Feng ignored Cui Qiuliang and didn't even bother to listen to him finish his words. Cui Qiuliang had just finished his blessing when Qin Feng turned around and walked into the house. As he walked in, he said to Wu Zhitao, "Comrade Zhitao, please come in."

Qin Feng's action left Cui Qiuliang, who was holding out his hand with a flattering smile on his face, left there.

Cui Qiuliang was a little embarrassed, but not angry. In this circle, anger also has different levels. If Qin Feng left Wu Zhitao here today, Wu Zhitao could be angry, but Cui Qiuliang was not qualified to be angry because the difference between him and Qin Feng was too big. In Cui Qiuliang's subconscious mind, it was natural for Qin Feng to ignore him.

Wu Zhitao walked in and closed the door. Cui Qiuliang naturally had no right to enter the room.

Of course, before entering the house, Wu Zhitao took a few gift boxes from Cui Qiuliang, and after entering the house, he placed them next to the shoe cabinet at the entrance, and then followed Qin Feng into the living room.

"Comrade Zhitao, please sit down." Qin Feng invited Wu Zhitao to sit down in the living room.

As his position and status improved, Qin Feng's way of addressing Wu Zhitao also changed accordingly.

In this circle, calling someone "comrade" is basically a way for superiors to address their subordinates.

"I'm not spending the New Year here, and I'm the only one at home, so there's nothing to treat you with. Just make do with it." Qin Feng took the initiative to hand Wu Zhitao a cigarette.

Wu Zhitao politely stood up and took the cigarette from Qin Feng, smiling and said, "Mayor Qin is too polite. Mayor Qin's home is simple and clean. This is really a role model for us."
