After getting Secretary Lu's affirmative reply, Xia Bicheng was very excited, and said a lot of words of gratitude to Secretary Lu, until Secretary Lu said that he had something to deal with, and then he reluctantly said goodbye to Secretary Lu.

Next, Xia Bicheng called Secretary Li Runji again and told him: Ye Ming and Chu Chu have decided to get engaged in the near future, and Secretary Lu has agreed to attend the engagement ceremony of the two of them.

Secretary Li was also very happy after hearing this, and asked him about the process of his conversation with Ye Ming, then thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Bicheng, how are you going to arrange this engagement ceremony, and plan to set up a few tables for a banquet." ”

Xia Bicheng thought about it for a while, and decided to tell Secretary Li about his plan: "Secretary Li, my thoughts are like this: this engagement banquet is better in the name of Xiao Ye, after all, I am now in the position of the director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, if I come forward to hold an engagement banquet for my daughter Cāo, it will attract criticism from others, but I only have Chu Chu's daughter, and she is a public figure, she can be regarded as a star, if her engagement is not lively, one is a little bit of a can't live with her, The second is that she will also feel that she has no face, and that our parents don't care about her, so this engagement ceremony, I still want to make it a little more grand and lively, at least to make Chu Chu feel face and happiness. ”

He thought that these words were very tactful and decent, and he also felt that his plan was very thorough, so his tone was quite proud,

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Secretary Li say in a stern tone over there: "Bicheng, you are really going to hold an engagement banquet for Chu Chu and Xiao Ye Da Cāo, why are you so confused, first of all, no matter where the custom is, young men and women do not send invitations when they get engaged, just tell a few close relatives and friends to invite them to drink a few glasses of wedding wine, where is there a big banquet for engagement, secondly, even if a banquet is to be held according to custom, with the identity of you and Xiao Ye, it is not appropriate to hold a big banquet, Whether it is in your name or in the name of Xiao Ye, it is essentially the same, it is a violation of relevant disciplinary regulations, if you violate the rules and hold a banquet, how can I, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, participate, third, you told me that Secretary Lu is going to attend the engagement ceremony between Xiao Ye and Chu Chu, then you should not make a big deal, think about it: If you call your colleagues, relatives and friends over, and make a noise for dozens of tables, how can Secretary Lu still come to attend the engagement ceremony. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bicheng woke up suddenly: yes, why didn't he think of this layer?

In fact, the engagement ceremony does not send invitations and does not hold banquets, this custom Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua are very clear, but Zeng Yanhua is a woman who loves money, and she always feels that her family has never done any happy events, and many favors sent away have no chance to be recovered.

Therefore, she proposed to Xia Bicheng a long time ago: My family Chuchu is a big star, and in her marriage, she can't stick to customs, and she must hold two banquets: one when she is engaged, and another when she is officially married.

She also explained to Xia Bicheng: Chu Chu is a celebrity, and many celebrities are very grand when they get engaged, and they will also hold a lot of table banquets......

It is precisely because of this that Xia Bicheng decided to hold a cāo for their engagement ceremony in the name of Ye Ming, but he was unexpectedly severely reprimanded by Secretary Li......

So, he had no choice but to say to Secretary Li: "Secretary Li, you are right in your criticism, on this issue, I am not thoughtful, you can rest assured: this engagement ceremony, I only invite some close relatives and friends to participate, other comrades-in-arms and colleagues are not invited, try to be simple, never engage in extravagance and waste, big cāo big deal." ”

Secretary Li said "um", thought for a while over there, and said: "Bicheng, I have another suggestion: in view of the disadvantage that Xiao Ye is facing now, the engagement ceremony between him and Chu Chu should follow a principle: the momentum should be bigger, and the influence should be wider, but when holding a banquet in a specific cāo, it should be low-key and simple, and no one should be left with a handle and braid to attack you and Xiao Ye, do you understand what I mean." ”

Xia Bicheng knew what Secretary Li meant: The so-called "momentum should be bigger and the influence should be wider" is to inform the public of Chu Chu's engagement with Ye Ming, and it is best to become a major news on the Internet and other news media, so that it can completely cover up the negative reports on Ye Ming and Chen Yi on the Internet.

But at the same time, because Secretary Lu and Secretary Li will attend the ceremony, the engagement banquet should not be too high-profile or too luxurious, and the participants must also be selected, and only people with a certain status can attend, otherwise, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li should not participate......

Therefore, he hastened to reply, "Excellent, I will do as you tell me." ”

At the same time, in the chairman's office of Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company in Xinleng County, Li Botang and Li Zhi, father and son, are also discussing the next step.

Li Zhi turned on the computer and was looking for a post on a certain website about reporting Ye Ming's corrupt life style, but after looking around, he found that all the posts and comments had been deleted in just a few hours from the afternoon to now, and there was no title left.

At this moment, he was a little out of breath, raised his head from the computer, and said to Li Botang worriedly: "Dad, Ye Ming, this kid, I'm afraid that we are underestimating his ability and background, you see, those posts I posted on this website were deleted within a few hours, to do this, you have to have the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee who are responsible for Internet public opinion come forward to do it, in such a short period of time, Ye Ming can let the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee do it for him, this ability is a bit terrifying." ”

Li Botang smiled disdainfully and said: "What is his ability, it's not his so-called godfather who is supporting him in the back, Li Zhi, this is a battle, you have to have a strategic vision, don't care about the victory or defeat for a while, and don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but be ready to fight a protracted war, I tell you the truth: The result you said today is something I expected a long time ago, I know that they will use their power to interfere with those websites and force those websites to delete these posts, but this is exactly the result I want to see." ”

Li Zhi asked a little confused: "Dad, what do you mean, you encouraged me to post these posts at the beginning, saying that you would use the power of the Internet to make Ye Ming's reputation stink, and now the posts have been deleted by them, and you said that this is exactly the result you want to see, and you have confused me." ”
