Hou Peng smiled and said, "Then at the dinner with Director Shao of the Finance Bureau, Xiuyuan, you should also lend a hand."
"Of course, Mayor, I will definitely speak for you and try my best to persuade Director Shao." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
The two of them reached a deal, and Hou Peng got up and left. Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that with the support of Hou Peng and Qi Weihua, plus his own, he would have three votes at the town party committee meeting.
If we can win over one more of the remaining people, we will have more than half of the votes.
Sometimes this political game is very subtle.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about it when he received a call from his brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao.
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"
At home in the county town, Zhang Zhihao listened to his brother-in-law's cheerful voice on the phone and looked at the buddy in front of him who came to his house early in the morning carrying things.
He was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Xiuyuan, are you busy tonight? You still remember my buddy Zhou Junliang from Meilin Village, right? I want to treat you to dinner."
When Zhou Junliang came over early in the morning, he told Zhang Zhihao everything in detail. Zhang Zhihao knew about his friend's family situation.
If Zhou Junliang could become the village chief and change his family's life, Zhang Zhihao would definitely be willing to help.
"Brother Junliang, is there something wrong?" Li Xiuyuan asked directly. He went to Meilin Village to meet Zhou Junliang yesterday, and today Zhou Junliang came to his house. Li Xiuyuan knew exactly what his purpose was.
Li Xiuyuan could even guess some of Zhou Jianzhong and Zhou Junliang's thoughts.
"Well...it's not convenient to talk on the phone. How about we talk about it in person?" Zhang Zhihao said on the phone.
"Hmm... How about this, brother-in-law? Tell Junliang to invite Deputy Director Zhou from their family. I happen to have some information I want to ask them about. I'll treat you tonight, and we can all come together for a meal," Li Xiuyuan said directly.
"Okay, okay." After Zhang Zhihao hung up the phone, he looked at Zhou Junliang and said.
"Junliang, Xiuyuan, ask your relative, Deputy Director Zhou, to come over. He said he wants to treat us tonight." Zhang Zhihao said.
"There's no problem with inviting people, but I have to be the one to treat..."
"Junliang, don't argue about this. Let me arrange it. Don't let Xiuyuan treat you, and don't let you treat me either. I'll be the middleman and treat you. I'll definitely help you with whatever needs to be said.
But it's not easy for my brother-in-law to get to where he is today. If you make a mistake, I won't help you. I hope you understand." Zhang Zhihao looked at Zhou Junliang and said.
On one side is his buddy, and on the other side is his brother-in-law. He is willing to help his buddy, do him a favor, or even pay for a meal. There is nothing wrong with that, but he cannot involve his own brother-in-law.
Otherwise, not to mention my wife and parents-in-law, even my own father would not let me go. It is so rare for my family to have a relative who is a leader.
Zhou Junliang nodded quickly upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Zhihao, I definitely won't do that. I'm just asking Xiuyuan. Whether this can be done or not, I'll only be grateful and won't have any complaints..."
