As soon as he got to work the next morning, Ye Ming came to Zou Wenming's office, took out the two CCB bank cards that Shi Yingkai had forced into him last night from the pocket of his uniform, showed them to Zou Wenming, and then reported: "Director Zou, after eating last night, Manager Zhao of the Qingquan Hotel and Director Shi of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate insisted on stuffing these two cards into my pocket. Each of these two sheets contains 50,000 yuan, and they say that one is for me, and the other is for me to pass on to you. I want to call Manager Zhao over now and return the card to him. ”

Zou Wenming glanced at him appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, you have this kind of awareness, I am indeed very pleased in my heart. You're right, although we helped them, but this is a special treatment in special circumstances, not that we are going to use taxes for personal gain. Therefore, we must not accept this bank card. ”

Then, he raised his head and thought about it again, and said, "Since you wanted to return this card to them many times last night, and they didn't want it, it is a gift that really cannot be returned." According to the regulations, if a taxpayer gives a gift to a cadre, it should be rejected or returned on the spot. If it is really impossible to return or refuse, it should be reported to the discipline inspection and supervision department, and the gift should be handed over to the supervision department for processing. Therefore, my opinion is that we should now hand over these two cards to the interrogation chamber, which will register them, indicate the time and place of their submission, and have two witnesses present to sign and testify. In this way, we will not be afraid that they will bite us or frame us in the future. ”

Ye Ming said a little strangely: "Director Zou, why don't we just return this card to them?" There's no need to go to the interrogation room! ”

Zou Wenming said thoughtfully: "Xiao Ye, I have been engaged in discipline inspection and supervision for many years, and I have more experience in dealing with this kind of thing than you. There are three reasons why I want to hand over this money to the interrogation room: First, when they gave you the card last night, you explicitly refused on the spot, but they insisted on giving it to you. If you cannot refuse, you will hand over the gift money, which is in full compliance with the relevant systems and regulations; Second, you already took your bank card in front of two people last night. In case someone inside has a bad heart and uses a mobile phone or pinhole camera to film the process of receiving your card, and there is no video evidence when you return it, you will not be able to wash it when you jump into the Yellow River in the future. Therefore, we simply did not return and handed it over to the supervision and trial room for processing; Thirdly, if they really want to give us the money, if you go and return it to them now, they will feel uneasy and they will feel that we are not giving them face. Others are just going back, that County Magistrate Tao and Shi Yingkai are very grudgeful. Once they feel that we don't take money, that we don't want to give them face, that we don't appreciate it, they will hold a grudge against us, and in the end, we will take care of them, and as a result, we will offend them. Therefore, we only need to hand over the bank card to the interrogation room to clear our suspicion of taking bribes, and there is no need to return it to them. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said with some relief: "We have reduced so many taxes for their hotel out of the need to maintain a working relationship. Now let them kick back 100,000 yuan to the state, I think it's okay. Because the gift money we handed over to the prison and trial room had to be handed over to the treasury at the end of the day, it could be regarded as making up for the country's losses from another way, Xiaoye, didn't you? Hehehe! ”

Ye Ming was deeply impressed by Zou Wenming's old calculations, and kept smiling and nodding, expressing his admiration for his insights and ideas.

At this time, the phone on Zou Wenming's desk suddenly rang.

Zou Wenming picked up the microphone, and the voice of Xu Fei, director of the Municipal Bureau, came from inside: "Director Zou?" I'm Xu Fei. There is something I want to inform you: The Political Work Department of the Provincial Bureau just called and said that Ye Ming had declared an advanced worker in the provincial local taxation system, and that he might not meet the conditions and standards, so let the Municipal Bureau find another candidate to report. I just asked Director Nie of the Political Work Department privately, and he told me: It is Director Xia's intention not to evaluate Ye Ming as an advanced worker. ”

Zou Wenming was a little surprised and asked, "Director Xu, how is this possible?" Director Xia is the leader of the provincial bureau, and it stands to reason that he will not ask about the specific work of evaluating the first, and it is impossible to clearly put forward who to evaluate or who not to evaluate. Did Director Nie or other leaders of the Political Work Department have any opinions on Ye Ming, so they pulled the tiger skin to make a banner and moved out Director Xia to prevaricate us? ”

Xu Fei replied affirmatively, "That's impossible." We have a good relationship with the Provincial Bureau of Political Work, and it is impossible for Ye Ming to offend any leader of the Political Work Department. Director Nie told me clearly: This is indeed what Director Xia himself meant, and it was Director Xia who told him personally. Moreover, among the 50 advanced worker candidates declared in the province, Director Xia only named Ye Ming and gave specific instructions. So, there must be something hidden in this that we don't know. I originally wanted to call Xiao Ye directly, but his phone hasn't turned on yet. So, I want you to ask him to see if he can guess what Director Xia is trying to deny him alone. ”

Zou Wenming glanced at Ye Ming, who was standing beside him, and said, "Director Xu, Xiao Ye is standing next to me, are you talking to him?" ”

"Okay, you give him the phone!"

Ye Ming took the phone suspiciously, greeted Xu Fei first, and then explained to him that he forgot to turn on his mobile phone.

Xu Fei told him what he had just said to Zou Wenming on the phone, and asked him if he could guess the reason why Director Xia did this.

Ye Ming had already guessed at this time: This is definitely the consequence of the last time he pretended to be Xia Chuchu's boyfriend and went to Director Xia's house for dinner!

He estimated: Director Xia was very annoyed that he was dating Xia Chuchu from him, and he looked down on himself at all, and didn't want Xia Chuchu to find him as a boyfriend. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to select the advanced workers of the provincial local taxation system to personally veto himself, ring the alarm bell for himself, frustrate his own spirit, and remind himself not to be delusional about finding his daughter as a girlfriend......

Ye Ming estimated that his guess was not wrong. However, he couldn't tell Xu Fei and Zou Wenming about this speculation, so he had to answer vaguely: "Director Xu, I don't know what the reason for Director Xia is!" I estimate that there are two possibilities: first, the advanced workers in the local taxation system of the province are generally selected as front-line collection management personnel such as grassroots branch bureaus or tax service departments, and I have been working in the office and do not meet this standard; Second, I already have the honor of being an advanced individual in the province, and Director Xia may feel that there is no need to repeat the honor, and other grassroots comrades should be given one more chance. ”

Xu Fei thought about it and felt that what he said also made some sense, so he said, "Xiao Ye, what you said may also make some sense. I'll find an opportunity to inquire again and see if I can get you back. You don't want to be affected by this, how to work or how to work, it's not a big deal, okay? ”
