133: Zhang Yuhao, who was high and mighty

"Younger Brother Zifeng, today is not a good time. Let's find a suitable opportunity later, and we must drink to our hearts' content then."

The two walked out of the Private Room, and Zhang Zimo patted him on the shoulder and said.

Just then, a group of four people walked out of another Private Room. Seeing one of them, Lin Zifeng was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks.

The other party also saw him, was surprised for a moment, and showed an unexpected expression.

"What's wrong, Zifeng? Do you know them?"

Zhang Zimo asked in confusion. He patted Zhang Zimo on the shoulder, didn't explain, and walked towards them with a big smile and long strides.

"Leader, long time no see. I really didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhang Yuhao shook his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here either! When did you come to the provincial capital? Why didn't you call me when you arrived? Is it because you are no longer my secretary that our relationship has become more and more distant?"

"Leader, you've misunderstood. I only arrived in the provincial capital today. I was afraid of disturbing your work, so I didn't dare to bother you."

Lin Zifeng hurriedly explained.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than two years. Only during the holidays would Lin Zifeng send messages to the other party to offer his blessings.

He knew that after a year of hard work, Zhang Yuhao had been promoted from Deputy Director of the Office of the Provincial Department of Finance to Director.

When he learned this news, he even called him to offer his congratulations.

This was also the first time they had spoken on the phone in the two years since they parted. Perhaps Zhang Yuhao was too busy, or there was another reason, but he had dismissed him with just a few words back then.

Due to the relationship with The two sisters, Chen Yuxi, Lin Zifeng did not want to have too much contact with Zhang Yuhao. Seeing that the other party had such an attitude, he contacted him even less.

Only during the Chinese New Year did he send a greeting text message to the other party.

Yushu County was effectively the place where Zhang Yuhao had suffered a setback, so after he left Yushu County, he never paid attention to this place again, much less knew about Lin Zifeng's current work situation.

Today, their unexpected meeting here was somewhat beyond both of their expectations.

So after some pleasantries, Zhang Yuhao spoke again: "Zifeng, I still have some work to attend to this afternoon. Let's find another time to catch up! Since you've finally made it to the provincial capital, don't be in such a hurry to go back. When I have some free time, I'll call you and treat you to a meal."

"Leader, you are a Provincial Leader now, and your work is so busy, so don't worry about me. We can gather again when there is an opportunity in the future."

He sensed the other party's aloofness and condescending attitude, so he said this very perfunctorily.

He did not tell the other party that he had come to the Party School to study and would not be leaving the provincial capital for a short time, because he felt there was absolutely no need to.

The two would slowly stop contacting each other in the future and would become strangers.

Because Lin Zifeng knew that when the other party said he would call him and treat him to a meal to catch up, it was just polite talk.

Later, facts proved that his guess was completely correct.

Zhang Yuhao nodded with a smile and walked out of the hotel first, not even introducing the people accompanying him to Lin Zifeng.

Such an attitude from the other party already said a lot.

"Director Zhang, who is this young man? You seem quite familiar with each other?"

"When I was a County Mayor, he was my secretary, and now he is a town mayor of an impoverished town."

Zhang Yuhao walked out of the hotel with the others, and his quiet voice drifted into the ears of Lin Zifeng and the other person.

The tone of the other party's voice was full of condescension, and there was no sense of respect for Lin Zifeng at all.

Lin Zifeng was not angry. He couldn't help but think with relief that regarding that matter with the Discipline Inspection Commission back then, he could be considered to have helped Zhang Yuhao, and later he also rode on Zhang Yuhao's coattails to reach the position of town mayor.

In general, without Zhang Yuhao helping him take the first step, he wouldn't have the platform for his rise. In his heart, Zhang Yuhao had done him a favor.

Because of the relationship with The two sisters, Chen Yuqing, he resisted having more contact with the other party. In doing so, he still felt some guilt towards him.

But after today's unexpected encounter and seeing the other party's attitude, he finally felt relieved.

The two were not on the same path; not disturbing each other was the best outcome. Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed.

Zhang Zimo came to his side and said: "Zifeng, who is this person? You were actually his secretary?"

He nodded and said: "That's true, Brother Zhang. This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back first!"

Zhang Zimo agreed, and together they walked out of the hotel. The two hailed a Taxi and quickly returned to the Party School.

Entering the dormitory together, Zhang Zimo couldn't help but ask curiously: "Zifeng, that person just said that you used to be his secretary, and also said that you are a mayor of an impoverished town.

A town mayor doesn't reach the deputy section-level, right? What exactly is going on?

And, although you two seemed very familiar, it revealed distance everywhere, and the other party gave people a feeling of being high and mighty. Isn't this too strange?"

"Back then, he was the County Mayor of the county where I am now, and I was his secretary for a year.

Later, he was transferred directly to the provincial capital and served as the Deputy Director of the Office of the Provincial Department of Finance. Now he has been promoted to the Director of the Office of the Provincial Department of Finance.

Although he is still a Division-Head Level Cadre, he is already a Provincial Leader.

Before he was transferred, he pushed me into the position of town mayor. Since he was transferred to the provincial capital, our contact has gradually decreased, and we naturally drifted apart.

Today was the first time we met in more than two years since we parted, and it happened in such an unexpected situation.

He doesn't know my current work situation, so he still thinks I am still in the position of town mayor!"

Lin Zifeng explained the general situation.

"Oh, why do I feel that your relationship is weird? Given your situation, your relationship should be quite good, right?

But when that Director Zhang faced you, his behavior was indeed high and mighty. Although his tone was enthusiastic, it gave people a feeling of distance.

You also have a barrier towards him. Although your tone was respectful, it also gave people the feeling of being distant from him.

If you say you have a grudge against each other! When he left, he pushed you from deputy section-level to section-level, letting you go from a secretary to a town mayor.

It really is puzzling!"

Zhang Zimo said, very confused.

"The relationship between us is a bit complicated. He helped me, and I helped him. It's not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

I can clearly tell you that there is no enmity between us. You can just understand it as us not being on the same path."

Lin Zifeng summarized it briefly.

"Hmm, looking at the whole process of the other party seeing you at the hotel, he didn't take you seriously at all. With such a high-and-mighty attitude, not associating with him in the future is the best choice."

Zhang Zimo expressed his own thoughts.

"Brother Zhang, great minds think alike! That's what I think too."

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

"Younger Brother Zifeng, in our Jinhua County, I am the Deputy County Mayor in charge of the economy. After returning from this training at the Party School, there is a ninety percent chance that I will take over as Executive Deputy County Mayor.

What position do you hold in your Yushu County?"

Zhang Zimo asked curiously.
