Chen Mengqi can cook herself, but her cooking skills are not very good. In the past two days, she and Chen Yi had two meals at the house in Baxian Bridge, and they were full of praise for Chen Yi's cooking skills.

Therefore, as soon as Ye Ming proposed to let Chen Yi cook, she said happily: "The dishes made by Sister Chen Yi taste really good." Brother Ye, tonight, you let Sister Chen Yi take charge of the kitchen, and I will cook and wash the vegetables, and I will make a table of colorful and fragrant meals for you in more than an hour. ”

Secretary Lu's heart meant to see how the housework ability of these two girls was. Therefore, after Chen Mengqi finished speaking, he smiled and nodded, and said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, tonight's dinner will be prepared by you and the two Xiao Chen girls." I'm going to talk to you Director Xu and Director Zou now, and you can go grocery shopping and prepare! ”

Then, he turned his head to Wu Yueyuan, who had been standing next to him, and said, "Principal Wu, please find us a house, and I will go in with Xiao Xu and Xiao Zou to sit down." ”

Wu Yueyuan hurriedly agreed, took Secretary Lu, Xu Fei, and Zou Wenming to his principal's office, and after making a cup of tea for each of the three of them, he said goodbye with humor.

Although Xu Fei and Zou Wenming have been in the officialdom for decades, it is the first time they have been received by a leader of such a level as the secretary of the provincial party committee, so they are a little nervous and a little restrained.

Secretary Lu picked up the cup of tea that Wu Yueyuan had made for him, put it to his lips and took a sip, then looked at Xu Fei and Zou Wenming with both eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he said very kindly: "Director Xu, Director Zou, don't be too restrained." I'm coming to you today just to talk casually, I have been working in the ministry for a long time, and I don't know much about taxation. However, I know that tax revenue is the lifeblood of the country, and it is also the lubricant and propellant that keeps our state apparatus running. Therefore, I would like to ask you to introduce to me the local tax revenue of your K city and Xinleng County, what are the bottlenecks and problems in tax collection and management, how have you solved them, and so on. You can just speak freely, and if you have any thoughts and opinions, you can put them forward, and I will listen carefully. ”

Xu Fei and Zou Wenming heard Secretary Lu say that they wanted to introduce the local tax work in the city and county, and their hearts relaxed a little: after all, this is their own job, and the conversation will be very smooth.

Therefore, Xu Fei and Zou Wenming successively reported to Secretary Lu on the local tax revenue, tax source status, difficulties and problems in tax collection and management, and the establishment of a tax protection network with local governments......

Secretary Lu listened very attentively and seriously, and from time to time he raised questions about some tax terms, asked the two of them to answer them, and explained some of his thoughts and requirements on strengthening the construction of local financial resources and strengthening tax collection and management......

Xu Fei and Zou Wenming were both ready, and when Secretary Lu spoke, they both took out a small work log and pen and recorded every word of his words in a notebook.

After talking like this for half an hour, Secretary Lu took two more sips of tea and asked casually: "Director Xiao Xu, Director Xiao Zou, you are all Xiao Ye's superiors, and it seems that you are also very concerned and take care of him." How is he doing in the unit now? How about the ability to work? ”

In fact, this question is the focus of Secretary Lu's conversation with Xu Fei and Zou Wenming today - the reason why he wants to meet Xu Fei and Zou Wenming separately is that he wants to further understand how his son is performing in the unit and whether he has a future for development; Second, he wants to show Xu Fei and Zou Wenming in this way: He, the secretary of the provincial party committee, cares about Ye Ming's growth and progress, so that they know in their hearts, pay more attention to Ye Ming in the future, and focus on cultivating him.

Of course, Secretary Lu didn't know that Lu Dao Ye Ming had helped Xu Fei and Zou Wenming, and he didn't know that Lu Dao and these two people were actually like him, and they were doing their best to help Ye Ming grow and progress. He just wanted to send a signal to Ye Ming's two superiors out of a fatherly instinct and a strong sense of calf protection, so that they could take more care of him and promote him in the future......

Xu Fei saw that when Secretary Lu asked about Ye Ming, although his tone was calm, as if he had mentioned it inadvertently, he couldn't help but show a look of concern in his eyes, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly replied: "Secretary Lu, Xiao Ye is now a banner of our local taxation system, and it is also a model for young cadres and workers in the whole system to learn. I know him well and I have a very good relationship with him. In my opinion, this young comrade has both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, strong dedication and self-motivation, outstanding coordination ability, organizational ability, and leadership ability, and is a rare young talent in our system, and has now been included in the list of key training of reserve young cadres in our K city local taxation system. ”

Secretary Lu was overjoyed when he heard Xu Fei's praise for Ye Ming, but he said: "Director Xu, Ye Ming is still young, don't exalt him too much, don't let him think too highly of himself and be proud and complacent." After all, he is young, and there will definitely be shortcomings of one kind or another. You should also point out these shortcomings to him in time, and beat him at the right time, so that he can always be vigilant and pay attention everywhere, and try to overcome his shortcomings and deficiencies, so as to facilitate his future growth and progress. ”

As soon as Secretary Lu said this, Xu Fei and Zou Wenming glanced at each other, with a look of surprise on their faces, and they were all puzzled in their hearts: listening to Secretary Lu's tone, it didn't look like a provincial party secretary was giving instructions at all. On the contrary, it is like a loving father, when his son is praised and praised by a teacher or leader, he humbly says to the other party: your son still has such and such shortcomings, please discipline him more......

But Secretary Lu didn't notice this at all, and asked Zou Wenming with a smile: "Director Xiao Zou, Ye Ming is your direct subordinate, and you should have the most right to speak." How is he doing now in the position of deputy director of the sub-bureau? Is it up to the position? ”

Zou Wenming is also a very intelligent person, as soon as he heard Secretary Lu's tone, he knew that what he actually wanted to hear was praise for Ye Ming. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, Xiao Ye is the party group of our county bureau in accordance with the instructions of Director Xu Fei, and was directly promoted from the office secretary position to the first sub-bureau to be responsible, which is an exceptional promotion." After a month or two of observation, Comrade Ye Ming took a firm political stand, had a good ideological character, and was very methodical and clever in grasping income and management; in a short period of time, he gathered the hearts and minds of the people of the first sub-bureau, and took measures to solve several difficult problems in the process of grasping the income of the sub-bureau, and collected some taxes that were usually difficult to collect or even could not be collected in full and in a timely manner. The party group of our county bureau is very relieved and satisfied with him. ”
