When there was no one around, Ye Ming showed a smile on his face and said to Liu Zhengwen: "Minister Liu, I want to invite you to go with me to the leader of the provincial capital for dinner, I don't know if you appreciate your face?" ”

Liu Zhengwen glanced at him suspiciously, and saw that he was smiling, and his tone was very sincere, but it was not good to keep a straight face, but the anger in his heart still did not disappear, and he asked in a blunt tone: "Which department is that leader?" Isn't it a colleague from your provincial party committee? ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "That's right, he is indeed a colleague of my provincial party committee—"

As soon as he said this, Liu Zhengwen immediately interrupted him: "Secretary Ye, I'm sorry, since it was your colleague who came to see you, you must have a lot of intimate things to say later, and it is inconvenient for me to mix in the middle." Besides, today, the county magistrate, Director Li and other leaders are all on rest to accompany you and me. Now that you are accompanying the leader, if I leave again, won't it embarrass them? What face do I have to come to Beishan in the future? ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Secretary Ye, since you have warmly invited me, I also advise you: If it is really your colleague who comes from the province to see you, I suggest that you invite him over to have dinner and entertainment with us, which not only takes care of the emotions of these comrades in Beishan, but also treats your friends well, why not?" It's easy for you to isolate yourself by acting alone in disregard of the feelings of other comrades! ”

It turned out that Liu Zhengwen had a preconceived misjudgment, thinking that Ye Ming was just a deputy director, and the colleague who played well with him must be at the same level as him or lower than him, and it could not be the "important leader" he said. What's more, even if he has one or two friends who are higher than him, those people are his leaders, and it is impossible for him to have any particularly deep friendship, let alone sacrifice his rest time to go to Beishan to visit.

Therefore, when he heard Ye Ming say that his friend was his original colleague, he immediately lost interest and rejected him, and "educated" him in an admonishing tone......

Ye Ming listened to him quietly, and then said unhurriedly: "Minister Liu, my identity as a friend is a bit special, and he doesn't want too many people to know about his visit to Beishan, let alone the county magistrate, Director Li and others. Therefore, I can only invite him to dinner in a small area, and ask Minister Liu's understanding. If you don't want to go, then I won't force it. ”

Liu Zhengwen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the words "special identity", and hurriedly asked: "Special identity?" Who is your friend? ”

Ye Ming smiled and said, "His surname is Xu, his name is Xu Lizhong, and he is now the director of the First Division of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and he directly serves Secretary Lu. ”

Liu Zhengwen said "ahhh Director Xu came from the provincial capital to visit you? ”

It turned out that Liu Zhengwen was cultivated and promoted by Wang Xuewen, and he was regarded as his hardcore cronies. Last time, Wang Xuewen went to the provincial capital to meet his classmate Li Chaoyang and invited Xu Lizhong to tea, and Liu Zhengwen also followed. However, although he is at the same level as Xu Lizhong, they are both at the same level, but the status of the two of them is not at the same level at all. Therefore, Wang Xuewen did not take him to see Xu Lizhong, but just asked him to wait in the hotel.

Later, Wang Xuewen took him to the provincial capital again, and wanted to invite Xu Lizhong out for dinner, and by the way, he introduced Liu Zhengwen to him, but he rejected him. Therefore, Liu Zhengwen has admired Xu Lizhong for a long time, and he also regretted that he did not have an appointment for dinner that time.

Unexpectedly, just now Ye Ming said lightly that Xu Lizhong rushed over from the provincial capital to visit him, which made him almost unable to believe his ears for a moment, and in addition to ecstasy, he also didn't believe it......

Ye Ming saw Liu Zhengwen's face full of surprise, and the surprise was mixed with extreme excitement, as well as a little bit of incredulity, and felt a little funny in his heart, so he said: "Minister Liu, Deputy Secretary Wang has also rushed over from Min'an City now, and now he should have arrived at the Orchid Garden Hotel to meet Director Xu." If you don't believe me, you can call Deputy Secretary Wang to confirm. ”

Seeing that Ye Ming said something solemnly, Liu Zhengwen had already believed it for eight or nine points in his heart, and the color of ecstasy and excitement on his face became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and dial Wang Xuewen's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Wang Xuewen say with a smile: "Xiao Liu, are you with Secretary Ye now?" I have arrived at the Orchid Garden Hotel in Beishan and am chatting with Director Xu. You explain to the comrades in Beishan, come over with Secretary Ye immediately, let's find a place to eat. ”

Liu Zhengwen was already indescribably excited at this time, and his originally fair face suddenly turned red because he was too excited, and said incoherently: "Secretary Wang...... Okay, good...... Please say hello to Director Xu on my behalf...... I'll come over with Secretary Ye right away......"

After hanging up Wang Xuewen's phone, Liu Zhengwen seemed to forget that there were still a few people waiting for him in the box of the "Lotus Hall", so he took Ye Ming's hand and said anxiously: "Secretary Ye, let's hurry to the Orchid Garden Hotel, we can't let the two leaders of Director Xu and Secretary Wang wait for a long time." ”

Ye Ming reminded him with a smile: "Minister Liu, there are still County Magistrate Yu and Director Li waiting in the box, you should at least inform them!" Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to open a meal! ”

Liu Zhengwen patted his head and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about it." Secretary Ye, please wait here for a while, I'll tell them and come out, and we'll rush to the Orchid Garden Hotel immediately. ”

Ye Ming hurriedly stopped him and said, "Minister Liu, I think you should still accompany the county magistrate and them to have a few glasses of wine first, and then find an excuse to come out and rush to our side." Otherwise, the comrades in Beishan would be suspicious, and if they knew about Director Xu's visit to Beishan, it would not have a good impact on Director Xu. ”

Liu Zhengwen already knew at this time that the relationship between Ye Ming and Xu Lizhong was not trivial, and Xu Lizhong was the most relied on and trusted person by Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee. Yesterday's judgment of Ye Ming's identity and background between himself and Chen Yaoxing must have been very wrong.

Therefore, at this moment, his dissatisfaction with Ye Ming has already disappeared, and he has made up his mind to accept him, listening to him persuade himself to entertain Yu Heguang, Li Zheng and others before going to the Orchid Garden Hotel, although he is full of reluctance in his heart, but thinking about his words also makes sense, so he rolled his eyes, took Ye Ming's hand, and whispered: "Secretary Ye, you go in with me, and I will explain to the county magistrate Yu and others the reason why you want to leave." Don't worry, I won't mention Director Xu and Secretary Wang. ”
