Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"Brother Tao, they all avoid me. It's better for you to stay away from me."

Zhou Pengcheng turned around and saw that Xu Tao was already sitting beside his bed, and he also made a joke.

Speak up!

He had a pretty good relationship with Xu Tao, but they didn't have much contact with each other afterwards.

Back then, he didn't go to the graduation ceremony because he was drunk. When he woke up, everyone was gone.

Later, Zhou Pengcheng didn't have the chance to meet this guy, so he didn't actually know much about him.

The only understanding may be that Xu Tao works in Jiangzhou Municipal Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, which is considered an unpopular unit.

And the veteran bureau of Dongzhou City where he works is actually not willing to give in too much.

"Stop talking, clean up, let's go have a drink at noon." Xu Tao smiled and said: "There were a few other people in the dormitory, but then they all had something to do..."

"understand!"

Zhou Pengcheng naturally knew what Xu Tao meant, and it was actually because of what he had done at the graduation ceremony.

"The same goes for you kid. A leader as big as Minister Qin asked you a question, and you only said four words." Xu Tao sighed slightly.

"It's okay, there are a lot of leaders," Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile.

"Can you still laugh? Do you know that the whole party school is now spreading rumors about you." Xu Tao hammered Zhou Pengcheng's chest with his fist.

Zhou Pengcheng pretended to dodge and said quickly: "Brother Tao, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"Did the leader criticize you for staying here just now?" Xu Tao asked curiously: "Someone just made a bet, saying whether you would be the first student to be expelled from the party school. Tell me about you... …”

"I'm just a pawn, why would Minister Qin specifically criticize me? I don't have such a big reputation." Zhou Pengcheng shook his head.

"Anyway, your kid's political future is gone." Xu Tao said firmly: "Brother, I risked my life to accompany the gentleman and stayed to enlighten you. Let's go? Why are you still standing there?"

"Brother Tao, I definitely don't have time to drink today." Zhou Pengcheng shook his head.

"What's going on? Are you treating me like a donkey because of your good intentions?" Xu Tao was a little unhappy.

Speak up!

Xu Tao can be regarded as a man of temperament, and he really stayed because of Zhou Pengcheng.

But now, this kid is putting on a show.

Zhou Pengcheng saw that Xu Tao had some misunderstandings, and he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Brother Tao, go to the cafeteria to eat something later. After eating, I really have something to do."

"What can happen to you? Even if you want to go back to Dongzhou City, there will only be one bus tomorrow morning, right?" Xu Tao obviously didn't believe it.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and said: "Brother Tao, it's not just me, you will also have something to do later."

"Me??" Xu Tao was stunned, and he sneered: "Do I still know if I am okay?"

"I want to ask you something, Brother Tao..." Zhou Pengcheng changed the topic.

"Is there anything we can't talk about while we're having dinner and drinking together?" Lu Weimin smacked his lips.

Zhou Pengcheng shook his head and said, "Brother Tao, what do you think about poverty alleviation?"

"Why are you so dumb when asked by Minister Qin? What do I think about poverty alleviation? To put it bluntly, I'm just here to gather people. Can poverty alleviation be handled by me, a member of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau?"

Xu Tao felt very depressed when he talked about this!

This time, the reason why the organization sent him here was because two of the people who signed up in Jiangzhou City were temporarily busy.

It can be said that Xu Tao was not selected, but was brought in temporarily because he had nothing to do.

So, when he goes back, he should do whatever he needs to do.

When Zhou Pengcheng asked him questions, he felt that this kid was just too busy to worry about things.

Isn't he also a member of the Dongzhou City Veteran Cadre Bureau?

Poverty alleviation is a real thing at the grassroots level, and almost all of them are in positions of real power. It will only take a year and a month for people like them from the Qingshui Yamen to have their turn?

"That's right." Zhou Pengcheng smiled slightly and said, "I just asked casually..."

"Speaking of poverty alleviation, in fact, although you only said four words today, I think what you said makes sense." Xu Tao gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Tao, you are just rubbing salt into the wound." Zhou Pengcheng said with a flat mouth.

"Pengcheng, I really don't want to comfort you. In fact, to put it bluntly, shouldn't poverty alleviation be handled according to different situations? If there is really an unchanging formula, then what else do we need to learn?"

Xu Tao agreed with what Zhou Pengcheng said in his heart.

But in the eyes of most people, when the leader asks you to answer questions, you have to talk.

On the contrary, the number of words for people like Zhou Pengcheng to answer questions is less than the number of words for leaders to ask questions?

That’s really weird and different!

Otherwise, not so many people would think that Zhou Pengcheng was completely cool this time.

"That's right, there is Qindong Town in Jiangzhou, do you know?" Zhou Pengcheng looked at Xu Tao, and the question jumped instantly.

Xu Tao frowned and said, "What are you doing? You ask questions like a hammer and a stick. But I know the Qindong town you asked about. It is considered a particularly poor town in Jiangzhou City..."

"Minister Qin's hometown is over there."

"Huh?? Real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, but Brother Tao, there is something I need to ask your opinion about now." Zhou Pengcheng looked at Xu Tao solemnly.

"Zheng...asking for my opinion?" Xu Tao raised his eyebrows, looking a little incredulous.

"Just now, Minister Qin asked me to go to Qindong Town with him..." Zhou Pengcheng paused deliberately as he spoke.

as predicted!

When Xu Tao heard this, he exclaimed: "Minister Qin actually asked you to follow him to Qindong Town?? This... Isn't this incredible? No wonder you just said you were busy. This... I can't delay you. …”

"Brother Tao, when Minister Qin's secretary notified me just now, he also asked me to choose one or two people from our training class to go with him, so I would like to ask Comrade Xu Tao for your opinion."

Zhou Pengcheng cleared his throat, and the corners of his mouth curved.

Throw it with a peach and return it with a plum!

However, whether he was familiar with Xu Tao before or not, Zhou Pengcheng was already moved because he wanted him to stay with him today.

However, Xu Tao opposite him was already a little petrified...
