Chapter Twenty-Four: The Grasshopper After Autumn
Qiu Shunming was stunned in the corridor for a moment, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and just wanted to push the door into the box, and called Lin Nan, Peng Hui and others to come out to discuss countermeasures, but the phone in his hand rang again, and when he looked at the number, it was Huang Hai, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of K City, called.
As the top leader of the local taxation bureau, in order to do a good job in improving the party's work style and building a clean and honest government in his unit, and also to be able to coordinate or intercede with the cadres of his unit in case of an accident, he will generally maintain a good relationship with the principal responsible persons of the procuratorate and the discipline inspection commission. Therefore, the relationship between Qiu Shunming and Huang Hai is handled relatively well, and they often drink tea, eat, play cards, and fish together, and have more telephone contact.
However, after receiving a call from Huang Hai at this moment, Qiu Shunming had an ominous premonition in his heart: this call was likely to be related to Ye Ming's case.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Huang Hai asked straight to the point: "Director Qiu, is your city bureau a cadre named Ye Ming from the Xinleng County Bureau?" What is the reason and basis for your shuanggui? Is there any evidence to support it? ”
Qiu Shunming pondered for a moment, and replied carefully and carefully: "**Remember, the main reason for our Shuanggui Ye Ming this time is that he beat Li Li, the leader of the Xinleng County Bureau, and Chen Weiping, the director of the office, for no reason, both of whom were slightly injured by him. This incident was witnessed by all the cadres and workers of the Xinleng County Bureau, and many cadres and workers also wrote written supporting materials, and the evidence is very sufficient. ”
Qiu Shunming didn't dare to mention Ye Ming's bribery of 3,000 yuan at this time, because the other party was the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he also knew that his subordinates must have investigated this matter......
Huang Hai pondered on the phone for a moment and said, "Lao Qiu, we are old friends, so let's talk to you straight to the point: according to the information I know, Ye Ming beat Li Li and the office director surnamed Chen because Li Li often harassed a female cadre named Chen Yi, and he only moved for the female cadre's grievances. Of course, it is wrong for him to hit people with his hands, and he should also be dealt with. However, more than ten days ago, you gave Ye Ming a major demerit punishment and laid him off for half a year. In all fairness, this punishment is relatively severe.
After Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection learned about Ye Ming's punishment, he instructed the Law Enforcement Supervision Department to inquire into the case. At that time, Secretary Li's original intention was that there was no such thing as laid-off in the regulations on the punishment of cadres, and this was the local policy of your local taxation system. He asked the Law Enforcement Supervision Department to interrogate, that is, to see if Ye Ming could not be laid off. However, your city bureau thought that Ye Ming went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a complaint, and in a fit of anger, he dismissed the people's shuanggui. After Secretary Li learned about this situation, he was very angry, and heard that in front of many subordinates in the ward, he slapped the table, saying that your K City Local Taxation Bureau was lawless, saying that Li Li was a scum and a typical corrupt element, and demanded a thorough investigation of this matter, and should report the progress of the investigation to him at any time...... Lao Qiu, I heard that you have a good personal relationship with that Li Li, and I remember that you seem to have taken him to have a meal with me. In this case, I suggest you make a decision as soon as possible. The so-called "when the interruption continues, but the chaos is suffered", now is not the time to consider the righteousness and friendship of buddies...... That's all I say, you can do it yourself! ”
Qiu Shunming understood the meaning of Huanghai's words: The Commission for Discipline Inspection was about to take action against Li Li soon, and he reminded himself to take measures against Li Li as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated......
However, only Qiu Shunming knows in his heart: he and Li Li are in fact two grasshoppers on a rope now, and no one can do without each other. And now, these two grasshoppers are already facing late autumn, and they may really not be able to jump for a few days......
After hanging up Huang Hai's phone, Qiu Shunming forcibly suppressed the sadness and fear in his heart, stood there and thought quietly for a moment, then pushed open the box door and walked in.
Since he left the box to answer the phone outside, the atmosphere at the wine table immediately became cold: Peng Hui and the others refused to pay tribute to Xia Chuchu because of Ye Ming's relationship, and they all drank there by themselves. And Xia Chuchu saw that they didn't toast, so naturally it was impossible for him to take the initiative to salute them with Ye Ming.
Therefore, when Qiu Shunming entered, it was very quiet in the box, everyone was eating with their heads buried in food, leaning their necks and drinking, without even a polite word.
Qiu Shunming pretended to have a smile on his face, walked quickly to his position, picked up a glass of wine, bypassed Xia Chuchu, walked straight to Ye Ming's back, patted Ye Ming's shoulder, and said very affectionately: "Xiao Ye, as the leader of the Local Taxation Bureau of K City, I usually don't know much about you young and promising cadres at the grassroots level, and I don't care enough about it, which has led to some unpleasant incidents, which is my dereliction of duty." Now, I toast you with a glass of wine and sincerely apologize for my dereliction of duty! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the box opened their mouths in surprise: What's going on? Ye Ming is still a cadre who has been censored, why did Director Qiu suddenly toast him so respectfully, and also apologize to him?
Ye Ming himself was also a little confused, but seeing Director Qiu lowering his posture so much, he felt that he couldn't be too rude, so he stood up, turned around and touched the glass with him, and the two of them raised their necks and drained the wine.
After Xia Chuchu was stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled, stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and said to Qiu Shunming: "Director Qiu, thank you!" I don't drink alcohol originally, but since you're so polite, I'll make an exception to have a drink with you! ”
Qiu Shunming waved his hand and said, "Chu Chu, you're welcome, if you can't drink." Let's give it to Xiaoye to drink! I think he drinks a lot, and I guess we can't drink him at this table! Hehe! ”
At this time, the people at the table had already heard it: Director Qiu had unconsciously changed "Ye Ming" to a more cordial "Xiao Ye", and his attitude towards him had taken a 180-degree turn......
When Lin Nan, Peng Hui and the others were puzzled, Qiu Shunming glanced at them, and suddenly said: "Director Lin, Director Wang, and Team Leader Peng, don't drink by yourself, let go a little bit, and bring up the atmosphere of drinking." I suggest: Everyone at this table should toast Xiao Ye with a glass of wine individually. We are going to test Xiaoye's alcohol consumption today to see how much he can drink. Come on, let's start with Director Lin! ”
Seeing that Qiu Shunming began to order, although Lin Nan was full of doubts, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to stand up with a glass of wine and toast Ye Ming with a glass of wine.
Others, including Peng Hui, were also named by Qiu Shunming one by one, and had to salute Ye Ming in turn.
Towards the end of the banquet, Qiu Shunming said to Lin Nan: "Director Lin, please call and inform the other members of the party group of the city bureau and ask them to rush to the Baozhu County Bureau immediately, and we will hold a temporary party group meeting here in the afternoon to study the issue of lifting Comrade Ye Ming's shuanggui." ”
