Li Botang, like Kang Wenxiang, is also Wang Xiuguang's classmate. It's just that the former and Wang Xiuguang are high school classmates, and the latter is his college classmate. However, because of Wang Xiuguang, the two of them are also very good friends, and they also call each other "old classmates".

After listening to Kang Wenxiang's request, Li Botang said very happily: "Old classmate, Li Zhi happened to be at home during this time to help my factory go through the tax reduction and exemption procedures, I will tell him about this now, and let him make an appointment with the branch director named Ye Ming." ”

A few minutes later, Li Zhi called: "Dean Kang, hello! You want me to make an appointment with Ye Ming, is there anything urgent? ”

Kang Wenxiang said: "Old nephew, the matter has come to this, and I won't hide it from you: my rebel son Kang Genxin has caused a big disaster and offended Director Ye. So, tonight I want to invite him out for a meal, and I want him to take his guilt and ask him to raise his noble hand and let us go. Old nephew, you should also know that Director Ye has great powers and his wrists are all over the sky, we can't afford to offend, so we can only fight this old face and beg him. What do you think? Can you ask him out? ”

Li Zhi saw that this vice president of the Intermediate People's Court, who was usually arrogant and had a cold face every time he saw him, was asking him for help at this moment, and his heart was extremely happy, so he said in a big way: "Dean Kang, don't worry: Ye Ming is my wife's colleague, and my wife is usually a sister and brother, and I am also a hardcore brother, and I have always called me brother-in-law." If it was someone else, he might not be able to make an appointment. But if I come forward, he has to come out for this meal. Moreover, the festival between you and him, as long as I open my mouth, he will definitely buy my face and will not embarrass you again. ”

Kang Wenxiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard him say so surely, and thanked him again and again: "Old nephew, thank you so much!" If this matter is settled, I will thank you very much! ”

After Li Zhi finished talking to Kang Wenxiang, he immediately dialed Ye Ming's phone and said with a smile: "Director Ye, are you free tonight?" I've been a brother-in-law for a long time since I've seen you, and I really miss you brother! In the evening, I booked a private room at the Three Golden Flowers Restaurant, and I would like to invite you to have a glass of wine with me, and by the way, I would like to ask you about some policy issues about the revitalization of the iron and steel plant's income tax exemption. What do you think? You will still buy your brother-in-law's face! ”

Li Zhiman thought that he had said this very decently, and he and Ye Ming had a good drink last time, and Ye Ming would definitely agree to him without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ming didn't wait for his words to fall, so he refused: "Brother Zhi, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight, so I don't have time to eat with you." As for the issue of income tax reduction and exemption for your revitalization of steel mills, don't you have an accountant in charge? As accountants, they understand the relevant tax policies very well, so there is no need to consult me. ”

As he spoke, he immediately hung up the phone without waiting for Li Zhi to say anything.

It turned out that Ye Ming was extremely disgusted with Li Zhi now. He is a person who loves and hates clearly, and he is not good at hiding his likes and dislikes, so when he talks to Li Zhitong on the phone, his tone is very cold and impatient. Although Li Zhi felt good about himself, he still felt his coldness and impatience.

Li Zhi had just blown off the big cowhide with Kang Wenxiang, saying that he could easily ask Ye Ming out for dinner, but at this moment, seeing that Ye Ming was about to blow it, he was a little anxious, so he was unwilling to call Ye Ming's phone again, but was cut off by Ye Ming.

In desperation, Li Zhi suddenly remembered his wife Chen Yi again: It seems that if you don't want to lose your trust with Kang Wenxiang, you can only ask for help from yourself, the "wife" who exists in name only, again.

So, he cunningly borrowed another person's mobile phone and dialed Chen Yi's office - because Chen Yi didn't answer his phone at all for a while, and the two hadn't seen each other for half a month.

When Chen Yi "hey" on the phone and asked him where he was, Li Zhi said in one breath: "Wife, I am Li Zhi." Don't hang up the phone, listen to me first: I was in a bit of a hurry with Ye Ming, and I wanted to ask him out for dinner, but he said he had something, and I guess he was an excuse. You have a good relationship with him, and he should buy your face. Grandma, you can do me another favor, and we will accompany Ye Ming to dinner later. If you really want to get a divorce, let's talk about it, okay? ”

After Chen Yi waited for him to finish, he said coldly: "Li Zhi, you are exalting me too much: I don't have as much face as you say in Ye Ming." You, a powerful big brother in the rivers and lakes, can't ask him out, I'm just an ordinary colleague of his, how can he buy my face? If you want to talk about divorce, I'll invite you alone, and we'll find a quiet place to talk. As for tonight, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you! ”

As he spoke, like Ye Ming, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

Li Zhi's face turned blue with anger, and he almost threw the borrowed phone to the ground.

At this moment, his father Li Botang called again and asked him if he had asked Ye Ming to move.

Li Zhi said stupidly: "Dad, that kid surnamed Ye became a bullshit deputy director, and his eyes grew to the sky, and he didn't buy my account at all." I think that at the beginning, when he followed Chen Yi to my house for dinner, he was a brother-in-law, and his name was sweeter than honey. Now that his identity has changed, he is so ruthless and unrighteous, he is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed. If this continues, I am worried that there will be problems with our factory's application for tax reduction! ”

Li Botang let out an "ah" in surprise and said, "Is there such a thing? I've seen Ye Ming, he seems to be quite modest and polite! Is there something about this kid that he doesn't like to see, so he doesn't give you face? Didn't you say last time that Chen Yi had a good relationship with him? Why didn't you let Chen Yi come forward to invite him? ”

"Dad, don't mention that stinky woman, I will have a temper when I mention it. I also told her just now, asking her to come forward and invite Ye Ming. She sneered at me as if she had taken medicine, saying that she would not come forward to invite Ye Ming, and I had no choice at all. ”

Li Botang thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, it seems that I have to come forward in person." Don't worry about this, I'll rush to the Local Taxation Bureau now, find Chen Yi, and ask her to take me to find Ye Ming. I don't believe that Chen Yi will not give me this face. ”

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yi was reading the documents in the document processing system in the office, when he suddenly saw his father-in-law Li Botang smiling and pushing open the office door and walking in.

Chen Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Dad, why are you here?" You want to come here, how can you call me first? ”
