After briefly introducing the acquaintance with Wang Xuewen, Xu Lizhong paused slightly, and said in a very calm and calm tone: "Brother, to tell you the truth: Li Chaoyang called me half a month ago and said that he wanted to bring one of his classmates who worked in the local area to meet me, and I was ready to refuse. But then he told me that this person was the deputy secretary of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee, and I immediately thought that Beishan County was under the jurisdiction of Min'an City, and this deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee might be helpful to you, so I changed my mind and agreed to meet Wang Xuewen. But later, when he wanted to invite me to dinner alone, I politely refused him, just to save this opportunity until today, so that Wang Xuewen would know the relationship between you and me, and accept your affection. ”

Ye Ming didn't expect that Xu Lizhong, in order to give himself a backer in Min'an City, would not hesitate to violate his personal principles and risk being blamed by his father, and went to Beishan to arrange this meeting without permission. To be honest, I have a lot of friends, and there are several brothers who are commensurate. However, only you make me feel like this: every time I think of you, I feel very warm, very down-to-earth, and very relieved; Every time I meet you, my heart is very happy and happy. This is my true thought in my heart: with your big brother supporting me, I don't think I have anything to fear! ”

Xu Lizhong saw Ye Ming's true feelings, and when he said the last few words, his voice was a little choked, and his heart was also fluctuating, his originally dark face was also slightly dark red, and it took a long time to reach out and hold Ye Ming's palm, rub it gently, and say with emotion: "Brother, this is what I should do." Not to mention the chief's care for me and the virtue of knowing me, you alone are worthy of my devotion and help. You are kind-hearted, affectionate, cheerful, and talented, and in many ways you are very similar to the chief. I'm also glad to be able to make you a brother. ”

At this time, Ye Ming's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he answered, it was Xu Jirong, director of the county party committee office, who called.

"Secretary Ye, are you done over there? If you're done, come over here! Minister Liu was already a little impatient, and he was just complaining to Director Li and Secretary Zhong, saying that you don't take him seriously. Minister Liu walked out from Beishan, and he is also the executive deputy director of the Organization Department, and he has a great influence in the county. If you leave a bad impression on him, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your future work! ”

Xu Jirong lowered his voice and said this, probably hiding in a secluded place Ye Ming called.

Ye Ming hurriedly replied, "Director Xu, thank you." It just so happened that I had finished talking about my side of the matter, so I rushed over immediately. By the way, how is dinner arranged? ”

"I have already explained to Deputy Director Chen Gang, dinner will be arranged in the hotel, and a few more famous specialties of Beishan will be served, so that Secretary Ye can taste the local taste of Beishan. The evening program was also arranged, and I went to the 'Oulala' KTV next door to the hotel to sing. Minister Liu sings very well and likes to sing very much, so I suggest that Secretary Ye also go to have fun together. If your friend hasn't left yet, why don't you ask him to sing along? ”

Ye Ming saw that he was secretly calling him behind the back of others, and he made suggestions to himself very kindly, and his tone was also very humble and decent, and he knew in his heart that he wanted to get closer to him. And now, he needs to have such an ally in the Standing Committee of the county party committee who takes the initiative to get close to him.

So, he thanked him again and said that he could participate in the singing event in the evening, and then hung up the phone.

"Brother Xu, I'll go to the Beishan Hotel first, explain to the leaders of the county, and then invite Vice Minister Liu to come over for dinner by the way."

Xu Lizhong nodded and said, "Okay, you go first, I'll wait for Wang Xuewen here." ”

When Ye Ming rushed to the Beishan Hotel, Chen Gang, deputy director of the county party committee office, was ordered by Xu Jirong to greet him at the door of the hotel with a smile on his face, and told Ye Ming: Minister Liu and others had played two rounds of cards, came out of the VIP building, and entered the box of the catering department.

Then, he led the way in front and took Ye Ming to a box called "Lotus Hall".

Ye Ming saw that Liu Zhengwen was sitting on the left hand side of Yu Heguang, and the position on the right hand side was empty, probably reserved for himself, so he walked straight over and sat down, turned his head and said to Liu Zhengwen with a smile: "Minister Liu, I'm very sorry." The leader I had just gone to see had decided to rush to Beishan at noon, and I didn't know it in advance, so I was a little in a hurry. Besides, I have to take a leave of absence from you now, and I'm really sorry that I'm going to have dinner with that leader later! ”

His words are true, but in the ears of Liu Zhengwen, Li Zheng, Zhong Yin and others, it is very harsh, thinking that he is showing off what he just said, and some people even think that he is playing tricks, guessing that his friend is not an "important leader" at all.

Liu Zhengwen is exactly the latter thought: in his mind, today is Sunday, although Ye Ming used to work beside the leaders of the provincial party committee, it is impossible for any important leaders to sacrifice their rest time and make a special trip to Beishan to visit him. The biggest possibility is that there is a deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, who may have a better relationship with Ye Ming, so he will take the time to come over and meet him for a while. And Ye Ming took the opportunity to "pull the tiger skin as a banner", deliberately pretending to be a ghost in front of himself and these people in Beishan County, saying that there was an "important leader" in the province, the purpose was to promote his identity, and to put it bluntly, it was a sign of lack of self-confidence......

Thinking of this, he smiled coldly and said, "Secretary Ye, you said that you asked for leave from us, you were too modest and too exalted to us. Now Beishan County is your one-third of an acre, and you are in charge of your territory. I'm just a guest in Beishan, and you, as the host, can afford me a glass of wine; Look down on me, you can pat your ass and leave, no one here dares to do anything to you, right? ”

Li Zheng, Zhong Yin and the others were secretly happy when they saw Liu Zhengwen's true anger, and they all raised their eyes and glanced at Ye Ming to see how he resolved this embarrassing scene. Only Yu Heguang sat there indifferently, his face still showing bitterness and hatred, as if he didn't care about what was happening on the field.

Ye Ming saw that Liu Zhengwen had misunderstood deeply, so he hurriedly pulled his hand and whispered, "Minister Liu, you go out with me, I have something very important to say to you." ”

Liu Zhengwen turned his head a little unexpectedly, stared at Ye Ming a few times, and saw that his face was calm, as if he didn't care about what he had just said, and his eyes showed a very sincere look, he couldn't help but be suspicious, hesitated for a moment, and then got up and followed Ye Ming to a secluded corner of the aisle outside.
