Chapter 19: The Way to Make Money
By the end of August, the unbearable heat in Chongqing was coming to an end.
The case of the Yuzhou Zhenghe Group continued to ferment, and the case of the real estate group using forged contracts to defraud banks of huge loans once alarmed the central government, and Kong De, director of the supervision department of the People's Bank of China, rushed to Yuzhou overnight to participate in the investigation, and even forced the nation's banking system to conduct a large-scale review of the loan materials of real estate companies.
This case also involved the Zhenghe Group colluding with senior government officials to jointly frame Song Sicheng, the deputy head of Xinbei District, who was preparing to investigate the illegal sale of buildings by Zhenghe Group. There are as many as seven department-level officials involved in the entire Yuzhou officialdom, and it is foreseeable that the political arena in Chongqing is about to usher in a huge power reshuffle.
And Li Ye, who is about to usher in his high school career, recently finally met Li Zhengbang, who is no longer busy at home.
………………
"Dad, you must figure it out, our China is a humane society."
"You said that you have been the director of the public security bureau for almost two years, our family is well-off, you don't need to do those things that are corrupt and bribery, and you don't usually receive much gifts, you are high, but must be good to be high? Look at Uncle Song, after so many years, it's not that he was almost beaten and couldn't turn over, and in the end, it was up to you to clear his grievances, and after so many years, the official was stunned that no one else helped him move around. ”
Li Zhengbang flipped through the daily newspaper in his hand, and frowned when he saw his son brainwashing himself next to him.
"Don't beat around the bush for me, let it go if you fart, what the hell do you want to do, just say it."
Li Ye smiled, "Then I'll say it bluntly, have you forgotten what my mother mentioned that day?" I'm going to high school soon, Song Xiaojia, Tang Wanwan will be classmates in the future, your Director Li's son will go to school, why don't you have a banquet and invite guests or something? ”
Li Zhengbang put away the newspaper and glared at Li Ye, after being an official for so many years, he immediately understood what his son was talking about.
Ordinary children's schooling, holding a banquet, relatives and friends eating and drinking together to celebrate and celebrate is over, but the children of officials' families go to school, and it is not so simple to hold a banquet, the most obvious one is - gift money.
Gift money has existed since ancient times, and party discipline and law do not have a clear requirement and definition for this piece, indeed, as Li Ye said, gift money is a microcosm of China's thousand-year-old human society, ordinary people have to hold banquets for weddings, birthdays, and funerals.
Li Ye's mother happened to hear it, and also came over to talk, "Is there such a thing, you are so busy and dizzy during this time, you almost forgot, Lao Li, should you hold a school wine?" ”
Li Zhengbang glanced at his wife, but he had some scruples: "Now that the news is loud, the Commission for Discipline Inspection has investigated so strictly, it's too ostentatious...... Not so good. ”
Li Ye was a little moved when he heard what his father didn't say, so he continued: "Of course it's not good to do it alone, this matter has to be done with Uncle Song." “
Gu Xinmei didn't understand the key for a while, and asked with some doubts: "Isn't it better to keep a low profile, and do a big job together?" You're afraid that others won't know, right? ”
Li Ye picked up the teacup that his father put on the table, and the old god took a sip, "Why do you want to do it together?" To the outside world, it is a celebration that Song Xiaojia and I have gone to Yuzhou No. 1 Middle School, but in fact? Think about it, when Uncle Song first had an accident, few people stood up to help Uncle Song speak, of course, this is also human nature, and you can't blame others for protecting your life. But now that Uncle Song has been reinstated, the people below are not panicked, are they afraid that Uncle Song will give them small shoes to wear? As soon as Uncle Song's invitation was sent, everyone knew that Uncle Song would no longer bother with this matter, just to take this opportunity to give the gift money, and everyone would be psychologically stable. ”
"When the water is clear, there is no fish, after Uncle Song's incident, I'm afraid I won't insist on any more courtesy, besides, now the Commission for Discipline Inspection has always felt guilty about Uncle Song, just holding a banquet, can the Commission for Discipline Inspection still come to find out? If you drink together, people in the public security system will have the opportunity to give gifts to the deputy secretary of the district party committee, which must not be happy, if you mingle with the people, everyone will support you as the director of the public security bureau, right? ”
Li Zhengbang was no longer surprised by his son's appearance, but Gu Xinmei was very surprised, she grabbed Li Ye's back collar and knocked on Li Ye's head, "Eh, when did you kid learn these messy things, don't focus on studying all day long, and you still get upset when you invite a guest in high school?" Song Xiaojia was admitted to Yuzhou No. 1 Middle School by herself, did you take the exam yourself? It's not that you can get on your broken grades, if I don't have a relationship with your father? Don't jump up and down here. ”
Li Ye held his head with both hands, rubbed the place where he was knocked, and sighed and said: "Mom, there is no such thing as you, other families are so happy to see their children so resourceful, you are good, grab your head and knock me, what should I do if I am stupid?" Isn't it for me to give advice to Comrade Lao Li to generate income for our family? ”
Li Zhengbang smiled angrily, and made a gesture to hit Li Ye, "Hey, stinky boy, you don't know what you are paying attention to, to generate income for our family?" Will you still take out the red envelope when it arrives in your hand? Isn't it just that you kid wants to make some money on his own? ”
Li Ye hid to the side with a scowl and diverted the topic: "Gift money is a trivial matter, the main thing is to walk around with their Song family more, Uncle Song escaped this catastrophe, and it is impossible to say whether it will be smooth in the future, when the time comes, you Director Li will also serve as Deputy District Chief Li, isn't it a matter of minutes." ”
Then he turned his face to Gu Xinmei: "Did you say it, Comrade Gu Xinmei, the wife of the district chief?" ”
Gu Xinmei smiled happily, but she still didn't spare Li Ye: "It's not big or small, why didn't you see you so oily and slippery before?" But it's okay to be oily and smooth, little girls just eat this set, you can coax Song Xiaojia to me. I don't expect you to make a name for yourself in school, and you won't have to rely on me and your dad to help you get around when you go to college. ”
"But don't do what you shouldn't do, you know what I'm saying in your own heart, or I'll break your legs."
Li Ye remembered the way Song Xiaojia hugged him at the door of the Commission for Discipline Inspection that day and ran away with a red face, such a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world and delicate is the most attractive, but Li Ye's psychological age is thirty after all, and Xia Yanan is more in line with his appetite.
"Okay, okay, it's too early to say this, don't worry about the child's affairs, just let it be, I'll call Lao Song and Lao Tang first." Li Zhengbang said a word, then took out his mobile phone and walked to the study.
