The next morning, when Ye Ming went to work, he found that Ou Yangming's face was gloomy, his expression was atrophied, and he couldn't help but be shocked, so he called him to his office and asked him very concerned what kind of illness he had, and whether it mattered.

Ou Yangming lost the 180,000 yuan in cash that he was going to return to Li Botang last night, and in regret, he didn't sleep all night, so his eyes were red, his beard was scummy, his face was pale, and he was sluggish. Under Ye Ming's concerned inquiry, he felt even more ashamed and landless, and he wanted to crash into the wall and die.

In order not to make Ye Ming suspicious, he reluctantly showed a smile and said to Ye Ming: "Director Ye, it's okay, it's just a common cold and fever, and it should be fine to go and get a few bottles of hanging needles today...... By the way, yesterday you said that you had something to talk about with me, what was it? ”

Ye Ming saw his weak appearance, as if even his voice was hoarse, and he felt a little unbearable, and he didn't want to use any more words to stimulate him, so he said kindly: "Director Ou, you take care of your body first, don't think about anything else!" What I'm going to talk to you about is about integrity. Yesterday at the meeting, I also talked too much, and I believe that with your cleverness, you should fully understand my intentions.

"I just want to tell you one sentence today: the winner is the power, and the self-winner is strong! I hope you are a strong person who can overcome yourself and control yourself, and don't be swayed by your own desires. You should have also seen the movie Schindler's List. In this film, Schindler famously said: Self-control is power! This sentence is especially appropriate in our administrative law enforcement organs. Where is the charisma of leadership? It is because they have super self-control, can control their own desires, can play an exemplary role, and become the object of learning and admiration by others, which is the same as the principle of 'Gongshengming, Lian Shengwei', I hope you will experience it well. ”

Originally, Ye Ming was going to ask Ouyang Ming about the origin of the money today, but because he saw that he was in poor health and in a bad spirit, he didn't want to cause him any more psychological and spiritual burdens. Therefore, he just woke him up with some euphemisms, hoping that if he really violated the law and discipline, he could be touched after hearing his own advice and take the initiative to correct it.

Moreover, his words are actually very targeted. Because he has already seen it: Ou Yangming is essentially a self-respecting and self-motivated person, and his heart is not bad, he is more emotional, more righteous, and erudite and proficient. His biggest flaw and fault is that he has extremely poor self-control and is easy to act impulsively. Therefore, he quoted the words in the "Tao Te Ching" that "the one who wins is strong, and the one who wins is strong" to wake him up, which means that a person who can defeat others is a person with strength, but he is not really strong; Only those who can overcome themselves are truly strong people......

Ou Yangming has read no fewer books than Ye Ming, so he naturally knows the meaning of this sentence, and he also knows that the sentence "self-control is power" is indeed a wise saying. However, when he heard such words now, he could only smile bitterly in his heart: If he hadn't been so anxious to go to Li Botang to return the money yesterday afternoon, he would have a good talk with Ye Ming first, and listen to what he said now, how good it would be! Unfortunately, it's already too late now......

On the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, Ye Ming was on duty in a sub-bureau according to the Spring Festival duty arrangement, and suddenly received a call from Secretary Shen, asking him to immediately rush to Wantou Town Middle School, saying that Xu Lizhong, director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and the leader of another security department were arranging the security work for Secretary Lu to come to Donggang Village to inspect there, and some things needed his cooperation.

Ye Ming didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly made a phone call with Zou Wenming, told him about the situation, asked him for leave, and then called Ou Yangming and asked him to rush to the branch office immediately to replace him on duty. Then, he drove the Santana of the sub-bureau and rushed to Donggang Village at a gallop.

After arriving at Wantou Town Middle School, Ye Ming saw that many people were gathered at the gate of the school, pointing and inspecting the surrounding terrain and landforms, and discussing something with each other from time to time.

Seeing Ye Ming get out of the car, Xu Lizhong's indifferent face showed a rare smile, and took the initiative to take two steps forward, held Ye Ming's hand, shook him vigorously, and nodded to him again, which was regarded as a greeting.

Ye Ming knew that Xu Lizhong didn't say much, so he took the initiative to ask, "Director Xu, how do you need me to cooperate?" ”

Xu Lizhong took his hand and came to the large group of people, pointed to a middle-aged man with a flat head and a black leather jacket, and said: "Xiao Ye, this is Director Wei Zhongwei of the Security Department of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, who is specifically responsible for coordinating and arranging the security work of Secretary Lu to inspect Donggang Village, you can talk about it." ”

Wei Zhong didn't know the close relationship between Lu Dao Ye Ming and Secretary Lu, but only knew that Secretary Lu Dao Lu came to Donggang Village for the holiday to comfort the masses this time, and designated to live in a private house near Wantou Town Middle School, so he has always been very curious about the owner of that private house.

At this moment, when he heard Xu Lizhong introduce that the young man in front of him was the owner of the private house, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and while shaking hands with Ye Ming, he asked directly: "Your name is Ye Ming, right?" How many years has that house been built in yours? Are there any safety hazards? ”

Ye Ming said: "That house is thirty years old, but it seems to be quite strong, there should be no hidden dangers!" ”

Wei Zhong nodded, and asked again, "How many people are in your family?" Do any relatives come to visit during the Spring Festival? Do any of your relatives have ever been dealt with by the government for breaking the law and committing crimes? Is there a ** household? ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No! I'm the only one in my family, and I don't have any relatives. ”

Xu Lizhong saw that Wei Zhong seemed to be ready to continue to investigate and ask questions according to the procedure, for fear that Ye Ming would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said to Wei Zhong: "Director Wei, the last time Secretary Lu came to Xinleng for inspection, he lived in Xiao Ye's house. We have already understood the situation you just asked in detail at that time, and there will be no problem. Let's go and see the place where Lushu remembers! ”

Wei Zhong stopped interrogating at this time, and walked to Ye Ming's house behind the school, surrounded by Secretary Shen, Tao Yong, director of the county public security bureau, and some middle-level cadres of the public security bureau.

Ye Ming also followed them around the school wall and looked at his house, and couldn't help but be surprised: he saw that his dilapidated red brick house, after renovation, had been transformed into a small country villa: beige tile exterior walls, coffee-colored door and window glass, and purple-red columns, which were not at all what they used to be.
