Chapter 321 Sincerity
In the box of Taoranju.
Zhang Hao put down the menu in his hand and said to the waiter beside him, "This is my first time at Taoran Ju, and I don't know what dishes are delicious here. So, please serve all your specialties."
"By the way, give me two more bottles of Maozi!"
"Ok sir."
The waiter turned and left.
After the waiter left, Zhang Hao said to Guo Pei, "Brother Guo, I don't know what everyone likes to eat, so I'll just order a lot. Do you mind?"
When Guo Pei heard Zhang Hao's words, she felt her heart bleeding.
This was not his first time in Taoran Ju, and he knew the prices of the dishes here very well. The things Zhang Hao ordered just now would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
But at this moment, he couldn't show any distress. He pretended to be generous and said, "Why should I feel distressed? As long as everyone enjoys their meal."
Zhang Hao gave Guo Pei a thumbs-up: "Brother Guo is very generous."
You Zeliang and Xu Dong watched coldly from the side without interrupting. They wanted to see what Zhang Hao was up to.
Then Zhang Hao continued, "Brother Guo, let me introduce you. This is the director of the Urban Construction Bureau—You Zeliang, and this is the director of the Development Zone—Xu Dong."
When Xu Dong and You Zeliang heard Zhang Hao introduce himself first, their faces became even colder.
When introducing people, subordinates and those with lower positions should be introduced first.
Most people are aware of this basic etiquette.
As a member of the system, Zhang Hao would never make such a low-level mistake.
In other words, either Zhang Hao did it on purpose, or Guo Pei in front of him was of a higher level than him.
But is it possible?
A person who looks about the same age as Zhang Hao is higher in rank than both of them. This is clearly a humiliation to him.
So the two of them sat in their seats, motionless.
Zhang Hao didn't take it seriously and continued, "This is Guo Pei, Brother Guo. He's not a very important person, but his father is the deputy director of the Organization Department."
Deputy Minister of Organization!
Deputy director level.
As the director of the development zone, Xu Dong is actually at this level.
But the Organization Department has the power of appointment, so to be honest, Xu Dong is still inferior.
If the person being introduced today was Guo Pei's father, I would have no objection to introducing myself first, but now it's just Guo Pei, so it's not worthy for me to show my goodwill first.
Guo Pei stood up and extended his hand towards Xu Dong. "District Head Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I often hear my father talk about you. He said that under your management, the development zone is in perfect order. You are an outstanding cadre in our city."
Xu Dong knew Guo Pei's words were just polite talk, but since Guo Pei had mentioned his father, he couldn't help but express his gratitude. So he extended his hand and shook Guo Pei's hand, saying, "Minister Guo, that's too much praise. I still have a lot to work on."
As they were talking, the dishes came up one after another.
Zhang Hao said, "The food is served. Come, let's eat and chat."
Then Zhang Hao was the first to pick up his chopsticks, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was not warm and even a little awkward, because no one spoke at all. Even when Guo Pei started talking, Xu Dong and You Zeliang only responded with a few words before the atmosphere became dull.
No matter how stupid Guo Pei was, she realized that something was wrong.
Could it be that Zhang Hao was trying to trick him, and that he was actually not familiar with Xu Dong and You Zeliang at all, and that this dinner was just to trick him and take advantage of him?
Zhang Hao stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Guo Pei saw the opportunity and stood up and said, "I'll go too."
Then he chased after Zhang Hao.
"Brother Zhang, what's going on? Why do I feel that Xu Dong and You Zeliang are hostile to you? Do you three really know each other?" Guo Pei asked with some doubt in his eyes.
He suspected that Xu Dong and You Zeliang were deceived by Zhang Hao by using his father's name.
Zhang Hao said, "Brother Guo, I know them, but there are some misunderstandings. Don't worry, I won't delay your business."
"Really?" Guo Pei asked doubtfully.
Zhang Hao nodded: "It's 100% true. I've eaten your meal, so I will definitely help you."
Guo Pei has no choice now and can only choose to trust Zhang Hao temporarily.
Zhang Hao said: "Brother Guo, do you want to join us?"
Guo Peike had no habit of going to the bathroom with others, so she immediately refused.
Inside the room.
After Xu Dong and You Zeliang saw Zhang Hao and the other two leave.
You Zeliang said, "Brother Xu, what exactly does Zhang Hao mean?"
Xu Dong shook his head: "I can't tell, but seeing that he introduced Guo Pei here, he might have something to ask of us."
"That shouldn't be the case. His father's rank is the same as yours, and his power is even slightly greater. If you have any problems, just go to his father directly." You Zeliang said.
Xu Dong: "Maybe there are some things that are not convenient for his father to come forward in person, or maybe he doesn't dare to tell his father about this matter. Let's wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao and Guo Pei walked in, and the two of them immediately stopped talking.
After Zhang Hao sat down, he said with a smile, "District Chief Xu, Director You, come and have a drink."
Then he poured them both a glass of wine.
The two of them didn't pick up their glasses. Zhang Hao saw this and said, "You two are being disrespectful. I know there are some minor misunderstandings and conflicts between us, but there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Don't you agree?"
Xu Dong just looked at Zhang Hao and didn't say anything.
But that doesn't mean he disagrees with what Zhang Hao said.
These days, when there are enough benefits, any conflict can be put aside.
"Humph!"
You Zeliang snorted coldly.
Zhang Hao saw the two people's attitude, still smiling and said: "Well, to show my sincerity, I can give this to you."
As he said that, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and pushed it in front of Xu Dong.
The moment You Zeliang saw the USB flash drive, some bad things suddenly came to his mind. After that incident, many people talked about him behind his back.
Moreover, you can’t ask the technical department to handle this kind of thing, otherwise you will still have any shame?
In the end, I had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire someone from outside to do the virus scan. The most important thing is that I lost face.
You Zeliang stared at Zhang Hao fiercely and said, "You've put a virus in here again."
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Director You, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no virus in here."
"Humph!"
You Zeliang snorted coldly, then said to Xu Dong: "Brother Xu, don't trust him. Last time, this guy put a movie in there, causing me to lose face in front of everyone in the whole organization."
Zhang Hao said seriously: "I swear there is absolutely no virus in here."
"This is the video I recorded last time. This video represents my sincerity. Whether you accept it or not is up to you two."
