Chapter 13 The Banquet
"When my father was seriously ill, I was still working as a factory director in a cotton mill at that time, and my father said to me before he died, 'Sicheng, you are a strong person, you don't understand the truth that rigidity is very easy to break, and strong is humiliating, so you will stay in the cotton mill honestly in the future, don't enter the public gate, otherwise you don't know how to fall if you fall on your heels'."
Song Sicheng took a sip of wine, the rich alcohol provoked his face to blush slightly, he paused for a moment, and continued: "Later, Secretary Liu said that he would transfer me to the district, and I left my old father's words behind me at that time. plunged headlong into this sea. “
"But I don't want to know me best, it's still my old father, if there is no you Lao Li and Secretary Chen today, my old Song is confused, I'm afraid I don't know how to get into prison. The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen, and I have only now fully figured it out. ”
Li Ye sat in the private room of the restaurant, listening to Song Sicheng drinking and catching up with Li Zhengbang, Song Sicheng's father was a Chinese teacher in Yuzhou No. 17 Middle School, Li Zhengbang was a student of his father, and the friendship between the two people also came from this, but Li Zhengbang joined the army after graduating from high school, and he did not change jobs until recent years, so the two families did not have a close relationship.
Song Sicheng is a doer who entered the government from the enterprise, and he has not been immersed in the sleek atmosphere of officialdom for a long time, after this incident, the two of them should become firm allies in politics, Li Ye thought to himself.
The waiters at the guest house brought the dishes one after another, Chen Deli, as the leader of the task force, although there were still things to deal with, but the Commission for Discipline Inspection made such a big mistake, which almost made Song Sicheng suffer an injustice, so it was reasonable for him, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, to invite Song Sicheng and his family to this lunch.
Song Sicheng was pulling Li Zhengbang to talk, there was a messy footstep outside the door, Li Ye turned his head to look over, and a middle-aged woman pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Old Song!"
As soon as Song Sicheng stood up, the woman rushed to his side, hugged him and began to cry, Li Ye estimated that this should be Song Sicheng's wife Ren Lan, followed by a girl in a red dress, she called Dad, and walked over, grabbed Song Sicheng's arm, and refused to let go.
"You said you, be the deputy secretary of this Raushzi...... I'm so busy that I don't go home all day, my daughter is going to high school, you haven't even cared, what do you say you are doing as this secretary? …… A few days ago, someone from the Commission for Discipline Inspection came to the house and said that they wanted to check the property, but you elm head didn't even let me accept the gift, how can our family have property for them to check? …… I haven't even heard from you for the past two days, and I'm thinking at night, if you want to have a good one, what should I do with your daughter? This secretary is not in place, and he can't ......."
Listening to Ren Lan crying there, Chen Deli's face was also quite embarrassed, and he didn't talk or not. But fortunately, Song Sicheng is a well-informed person, where dare to embarrass the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he quickly persuaded Ren Lan and his daughter to stop and arranged for them to sit down.
The garden table was not too big, and the six of them just sat down next to each other, Li Ye looked at the girl sitting next to him wiping her tears, and vaguely remembered that his father had mentioned it to him, as if it was Song Xiaojia.
Fifteen years old is the age when a girl is as delicate as a flower, her white and tender little face is delicate and delicate, and her eyes are a little red and swollen because of crying, but it adds a bit of weakness to her, and people can't help but take her in their arms and feel pity.
is indeed a rare little beauty, no wonder his father would misunderstand Li Ye, Song Xiaojia dried her tears, and inadvertently looked at Li Ye staring at her, maybe she felt a little embarrassed to be seen crying, so she blushed like a frightened deer and lowered her head.
After everyone ate a few bites of food, Chen Deli took the lead in standing up, raised his wine glass, and said: "The matter is over, on behalf of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I apologize to Comrade Song Sicheng and Ms. Ren Lan, the organization will never wronged and disadvantaged such outstanding party members and comrades, of course, I also want to thank Comrade Li Zhengbang and Comrade Li Yexiao, it is they who discovered the illegal behavior of Zhenghe Real Estate Company in time, so that our Commission for Discipline Inspection can correct their mistakes in time, come, let's have a toast together." “
Li Ye stood up with the juice, touched it with everyone, and drank it, but heard Ren Lan say, "Old Song, what's going on, you tell me." ”
Although Song Sicheng already knew that he was stumbled by Zhenghe Real Estate, he didn't know the details of Li Zhengbang's case, so he looked at Li Zhengbang. Chen Deli has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and knew that if Li Zhengbang was asked, he would inevitably be suspected of boasting and inviting credit, so he took the initiative to open his mouth.
He pointed at Li Ye, "Here's the thing, thanks to this young man who first discovered the clues, Comrade Zhengbang, you have a good son...... Chen Deli is the leader of the task force, naturally he has all the information, he started from Li Ye found that Zhenghe Group was suspected of loan fraud, how to cooperate with his father to enter the financial office of Zhenghe Company, and then from Li Zhengbang overnight to see the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee ~ , set up a task force to arrest Liu Min, and finally reviewed the matter of Zhenghe Real Estate Company framing Song Sicheng.
After Chen Deli finished speaking, Li Ye felt that everyone's eyes were looking at him, a little uncomfortable, and said modestly, "It's all a coincidence, and it would be great to be able to help Uncle Song." ”
Song Sicheng also knew the whole story of the whole incident, no wonder Li Zhengbang would bring his son to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, although Li Ye concealed Xia Yanan's matter, it would not make people think that he was specifically looking for the evidence of Zhenghe Company that Song Sicheng was investigated, but it still surprised others. Even if he unintentionally found out about this, it saved Song Sicheng's political career.
Song Sicheng did not hide his admiration for Li Ye at all, "Xiao Ye, can you drink a white bar?" Uncle Song toasts you a cup, in my impression, you are still a half-sized child, in a blink of an eye, you are so old, my old man teaches Chinese, and when I was a child, I liked to let me recite poems, I remember, he especially liked Xin Qiji's sentence, 'Who is the opponent of the heroes in the world?' Cao Liu, give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou'. Lao Li, your kid is not necessarily worse than Sun Zhongmou. ”
Li Ye saw Song Sicheng come up with wine, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, he was inexplicably reborn at the beginning, that is, after a hangover, so he was more or less apprehensive about drinking, but the old Comrade Li, who was born in the military, directly took the liquor glass to Li Ye and said boldly: "Stinky boy, your elders toast you, you have to do it, your mother is not here, I can't control you, if you drink too much, just open a room in the guest house, don't be afraid." ”
Li Ye was speechless to his Lao Tzu, so he could only dry the wine. Then he hurriedly picked up the juice cup and took a sip, finally feeling better, but heard Song Sicheng say again, "Lao Li, is your son also in high school this year?" “
"Well, No. 1 Middle School, in the same class as your daughter."
Song Sicheng pulled Song Xiaojia up and brought her a glass of juice, "Xiaojia, I remember that Xiao Ye is four months older than you, you have to call him brother, you will be classmates in the future, you toast your brother, in the future, you will go to high school, you have to learn from each other and improve each other." ”
Li Ye's strength has not eased up, he poured the wine glass full without saying a word, Song Xiaojia called Brother Ye sweetly, and made a gesture to clink glasses with him, Li Ye looked at her flower-like face, and drank the wine hard.
He sat on the stool and glanced at Song Xiaojia, who was also sitting down, but saw her head lowered, but her eyes quietly drifted to herself, looking at her drunkenness, and her bright big eyes were full of curiosity and cunning.
