As a famous five-star hotel in Jiangdu, Jiangdu Hotel is also the designated hotel for receiving foreign guests in the province.

Zhou Shunmin came over with his secretary Chang Yongxing after getting off work, and when he got out of the car, Zhou Shunmin was still chatting with Chang Yongxing about Ye Tian, he vaguely remembered that Ye Tian seemed to be very concerned about Chang Yongxing, although it was just an intuition, but this did not prevent him from discussing Ye Tian with Chang Yongxing, Chang Yongxing could be his secretary, and he was a person he trusted very much, Zhou Shunmin and Chang Yongxing talked and rarely cared about anything.

"Xiao Chang, if you have the opportunity, you can have more contact with that Ye Tian, you are not much different in age from him, you should also have a common language, and it is easier to get in touch, I think he seems to pay attention to you." Zhou Shunmin said as he walked towards the hotel.

"Director, I'll do my best." Chang Yongxing smiled bitterly, he vaguely felt that Ye Tian did pay more attention to him.

Coming to Ye Tianding's box, when Zhou Shunmin entered, Ye Tian was already waiting in advance, after entering the door, Zhou Shunmin first glanced around the entire box, and after seeing that Ye Tian was alone, Zhou Shunmin was slightly disappointed in his eyes, if Li Zhongcheng was also there, Zhou Shunmin would feel that tonight's trip was more worthwhile.

"Hall Zhou, you are here, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come, I am grateful." As soon as Ye Tianyi saw Zhou Shunmin, he got up to greet him with a smile, and said nice things about the scene.

"Xiaoye, you're welcome." Zhou Shunmin smiled and sat down at Ye Tian's invitation.

Ye Tian glanced at Chang Yongxing on the side and said with a smile, "This is the permanent secretary, please take a seat." ”

Chang Yongxing smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at his own leader, and with the approval of the leader, he took a seat, secretly looking at Ye Tian, for this young man who was two or three years younger than himself, Chang Yongxing also became a little interested, but the leader was present, and he didn't have the right to speak, Chang Yongxing just sat quietly.

"Xiao Ye, is it just you tonight?" Zhou Shunmin asked suddenly.

"I'm going to invite Zhou Hall to dinner tonight, of course it's just me." Ye Tian glanced at Zhou Shunmin with a smile, "What, does the Zhou Hall think there will be anyone?" ”

"No, I'm just asking." Zhou Shunmin smiled and waved his hand.

Ye Tian ordered a few of the hotel's signature dishes and asked Zhou Shunmin what wine he wanted to drink, Zhou Shunmin shook his head and said no, Ye Tian also gave up very simply, he was observing Zhou Shunmin, Zhou Shunmin was also looking at him, Zhou Shunmin didn't have to guess and knew that Ye Tian would not invite him to dinner for no reason, and he didn't take the initiative to open his mouth, waiting for Ye Tian to speak, if Ye Tian didn't say it, he would be fine, in fact, Zhou Shunmin didn't have to think about it at all and knew that Ye Tian was probably looking for him, he was the deputy director of the Department of Finance, but anyone who looked for him, Basically, nine out of ten came to him for money, nothing more than asking for funds from the province, and Zhou Shunmin had already experienced too much.

The two of them had their own thoughts, the food in the hotel came up, Ye Tian beckoned Zhou Shunmin and Chang Yongxing to move their chopsticks, seeing that Zhou Shunmin had been sitting with the old god, Ye Tian knew that when he encountered this kind of old fox who had been immersed in silver in officialdom for a long time, if he didn't open his mouth, Zhou Shunmin would definitely not open his mouth, taking advantage of the other party's kung fu, Ye Tian smiled, "Zhou Hall, I don't hide it, I am looking for you tonight, I have something to ask for." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian in surprise.

Secretly muttering in his heart that Zhou Shunmin is really capable of pretending, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Zhou Hall, our Qingbei County is a poor county, this time I came to find Zhou Hall, I really don't hide it, I am looking for Zhou Hall for support." ”

"Hey, Xiaoye, the last time I met you at the Ji'an Finance Bureau, didn't you work in the Ji'an Women's Federation?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian suspiciously, this time, he was really surprised, "What are you talking about Qingbei County, did you transfer there?" ”

"Zhou Hall is right, I was transferred to Qingbei County, this is full of calculations, it has been less than half a month since I was transferred, and the last time you met me, I was indeed in the Ji'an Women's Federation." Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

"I see." Zhou Shunmin suddenly looked at Ye Tian thoughtfully, and Zhou Shunmin said with interest, "Xiao Ye, yes, it's good for young people to go to the grassroots level to exercise, what position have you transferred to Qingbei County?" ”

"Secretary of the Qingbei County Commission for Discipline Inspection." Ye Tian said indifferently.

"Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Zhou Shunmin was startled, staring at Ye Tian, the look on Zhou Shunmin's face was not as simple as being weird, looking at Ye Tian for a long time, Zhou Shunmin jumped out for a while, "Xiao Ye, very good, very good, young and promising." ”

Ye Tian smiled undeniably, compared to Zhou Shunmin's words of praise, he was more willing to hear tens of millions of dollars from the other party's mouth, tens of millions is a lot of money for Qingbei County, but Ye Tian believes that this is not too difficult for Zhou Shunmin, the deputy director of the Department of Finance, provided that the other party has the heart to help.

"Zhou Hall, our county's finances have been unable to make ends meet, several projects that do practical things for the people have affected the progress because of funds, and the county really has no money, I think I have a two-sided relationship with Zhou Hall, so I took the liberty to come to Zhou Hall, I don't think Zhou Hall will mind." Ye Tian always maintained a faint smile on his face.

"Xiao Ye, your county is really interesting, these things should be the matter of the secretary and county magistrate, why did you, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, come out to find money." Zhou Shunmin said with a smile and did not respond positively to Ye Tian's words.

"No way, I am also a member of the county leadership team, there are difficulties in the county, and as one of the leading cadres, I also have the obligation and responsibility to help." Ye Tian said with a smile.

"You're right, I can't see that Xiao Ye still has such a high level of consciousness." Zhou Shunmin laughed and snorted, not mentioning the matter of money, he, the deputy director, is not anyone who asks for money and just opens his mouth to give it, nor does he refuse directly, Ye Tian is looking for him, he is very face-saving, even if he knows that Ye Tian is not far from ten, he is also looking for him for money, he still goes to the banquet, which is mainly for the face of Li Zhongcheng, the first secretary of Tiannan, otherwise he will definitely not come out to eat with a person who only has two sides.

Of course, Zhou Shunmin can't deny that Ye Tian's identity also makes him quite interested, the first time they met, the other party was having dinner with Li Zhongcheng, although the second time it was a chance meeting, but it also made it clear to him that Ye Tian was actually the vice chairman of the Ji'an Women's Federation, although the unit was inconspicuous, but it was a real deputy department-level cadre, this time we met again, Ye Tian has become the secretary of the Qingbei County Commission for Discipline Inspection, although Qingbei County is a poor county, but from behind Ye Tian's promotion and transfer, Zhou Shunmin felt something unusual, at this moment Zhou Shunmin is more and more interested in Ye Tian, If Ye Tian is worthy of his face, why not let him bother to help Ye Tian.

"Hall Zhou, I don't know if the Provincial Department of Finance can give us some financial subsidies in the county." Ye Tian saw that Zhou Shunmin just didn't respond positively, and the surname Suo directly made his words clear.

"Xiao Ye, you should know that things involving money are very sensitive, it's not that I don't help you with this, it's that this matter is difficult to do, the province's finances are more monks and less porridge, and the eleven cities below Tiannan Province, which place doesn't have its own difficulties? Today, if I respond to your matter, and other people know about it, and everyone is screaming about being poor and competing to ask for money, what do you say? So it's not a question of whether I can help you or not, but I can't open this mouth privately. Zhou Shunmin said helplessly.

"What Zhou Hall said also makes sense, but I believe in one sentence more, things are man-made, Zhou Hall, do you say?" Ye Tian looked at Zhou Shunmin with a smile, Zhou Shunmin blindly complained, emphasizing the difficulties, Ye Tian instead believed that the other party could help him, this would be difficult, either because he didn't want to help, or because he would sell the favor more, Zhou Shunmin would choose the former or the latter, it depends on whether he has enough ability to let Zhou Shunmin sell him face.

"Xiao Ye, you're right, but you should know that reality is difficult." Zhou Shunmin smiled indifferently, and changed his words, "By the way, Xiao Ye, you are very familiar with Secretary Li?" ”

"It's okay, I'm more familiar than the average friend." Ye Tian smiled slightly, and when answering Zhou Shunmin's words, Ye Tian quietly made a gesture to look at the time.

Zhou Shunmin didn't pay attention to Ye Tian's movements, Ye Tian's words made the smile on his face even more, "I am more familiar than ordinary friends, that is, the relationship is quite good, Xiao Ye, why don't you invite Secretary Li to come over for dinner tonight?" ”

"Tonight's main banquet is for you in the Zhou Hall, I'm afraid that it will be disrespectful to you in the Zhou Hall to call other people again." Ye Tian smiled.

"No, no, how can it be, there are so many people, Xiao Ye, do you want to call Secretary Li to see if he is free? I think he's done with it. Zhou Shunmin smiled eagerly.

"Hall Zhou, no problem, I'll fight later, but we haven't finished talking about business yet, are you going to finish talking about business first?" Ye Tian smiled, "Zhou Hall, our county is indeed poor, the original plan was to build a park, so that the people have a place to relax after dinner, this is also for the sake of the people, but you see, the county is poor, the budget for building a park is 70 million, and the county is so poor that it can't get a penny, so there is no way to go to the province to ask for support, should the province consider giving us some support in a poor county like Qingbei County?" ”

"Xiao Ye, you're really embarrassing me, you want 70 million, it's impossible." Zhou Shunmin waved his hand again and again, and this time his attitude was very resolute.

"Hall Zhou, I don't dare to open my mouth to ask for 70 million, otherwise, can the hall give us an allocation of 50 million?" Ye Tian stretched out a hand and compared.

"Xiao Ye, that's impossible, fifty million won't do." Zhou Shunmin shook his head resolutely.

"Zhou Hall, how much support do you say the hall can give us at most?" Ye Tian asked rhetorically.

"Ten million at most." Zhou Shunmin said indifferently, for him, the deputy director, it is not difficult to help Ye Tian get a grant of 10 million, which is also what he can help, if there is more, Zhou Shunmin does not want to bother with that.

"Zhou Hall, if you don't look at this, 30 million will not work." Ye Tian licked his smiling face, if he wanted money, he had to be cheeky, Ye Tian would give full play to the shameless spirit.

"Xiao Ye, I want to help you, if you do this, I can't help it." Zhou Shunmin glanced at Ye Tian, intending to get up, "Xiao Ye, I've eaten this meal too, I think it's almost time for me to leave." ”

"Oh, Zhou Hall, if you leave so early, then wait for Secretary Li to come, won't you be able to touch it, in fact, I concealed it just now, Secretary Li is going to come over in the evening, but Secretary Li is a busy man, you also know that he is following Secretary Tang, Secretary Tang has something to do, he can't leave, so he promised me to come back later in the evening." Ye Tian said with a smile.

Zhou Shunmin was stunned for a moment, stared at Ye Tian for a moment, and he who had already stood up, sat down again, and suddenly had a smile on his face again, "Xiao Ye, I didn't expect Secretary Li to really give you face." ”

"Fortunately, Secretary Li has always sold my face, and Secretary Li has never said a word about my business, but anyone who can help." Ye Tian had something to say.

"Xiao Ye, you are very good, I can't see that your face is so big." Zhou Shunmin squinted at Ye Tian.

"Zhou Hall, you have won the award, I am really ashamed, mainly because Secretary Li is willing to give face." Ye Tian smiled very modestly, "Hall Zhou, can you give us an allocation of 30 million in the hall?" ”

"Twenty million." Zhou Shunmin said indifferently, he saw Ye Tian's pretentiousness, Zhou Shunmin did not refuse at the moment, within his ability, he borrowed Ye Tian and Li Zhongcheng to establish a friendship, Zhou Shunmin was willing to do so.

"Zhou Hall, or 25 million?" Ye Tian laughed, he is now in the eye of money, and it doesn't matter if he has a penny.

"Xiao Ye, you are really..."Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian with a smile and a smile, "I think we are both about to become bargaining vegetable sellers in the vegetable market." ”

Zhou Shunmin was talking, the box door was pushed in from the outside, Li Zhongcheng's figure appeared at the door, Zhou Shunmin was stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand to look at the time, Zhou Shunmin glanced at Ye Tian sideways, smiling playfully, this young man is really not simple.
