Chapter 203: Equivalent Exchange
Ye Ming heard Wang Hai say that as long as Zhang Linjiang said a word, Li Yutian would definitely help Lu Cheng get promoted, and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked very puzzled: "Director Wang, does Li Yutian have a good relationship with Director Zhang?" That's unlikely! ”
Wang Hai shook his head and said, "No, Director Zhang is not familiar with Li Yutian at all. However, Li Yutian is now trying in every possible way to get to know Director Zhang, and the reason is simple: he wants to seek a good future for his precious son. ”
Next, he told Ye Ming and Lu Cheng about the principle of Li Yutian's acquaintance with Zhang Linjiang.
It turned out that Li Yutian's son Li Yuelin was known as a "prodigy" since he was a child, with excellent academic performance, skipping grades in primary school, junior high school, and high school, taking the college entrance examination at the age of 16, and being admitted to the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University with the top results in science in the province, he is a typical scholar. Li Yutian and his family love this talented son who has earned enough face for them like a treasure, and they have high expectations for him.
After graduating from Tsinghua University with a doctorate, Li Yuelin originally wanted to go abroad or work in the world's top 500 companies, but Li Yutian insisted that his son was the material for becoming an official, so he asked him to take the examination for national ministries and commissions, and finally entered the Ministry of Finance and was assigned to work in the budget department.
Li Yuelin is smart and has a very strong work ability, but he is a little nerdy, and a little bit of high and arrogant, and he can't handle interpersonal relationships, so he has been working for nearly ten years and is almost forty years old, but he is still the deputy director of a division under the budget department, and he has been in the position of deputy director for six years, but he has never been able to move forward, which makes Li Yutian, who hopes to be a Jackie Chan, both disappointed and anxious.
Not long ago, Li Yuelin suddenly called Li Yutian and told him that one of the directors of the budget department had been promoted to deputy director and one had retired, and that two regular posts had been vacated at once, and this was an excellent opportunity for him to be promoted. If you miss this time, you won't know that the next time you won't have until the Year of the Monkey to vacate the position.
Li Yutian asked his son how sure he was of being promoted this time, and Li Yuelin told him very frustratedly: This time, there are nine deputy division chiefs who meet the promotion requirements, and the competition is very fierce. Among these nine contenders, he should be second to none in terms of qualifications, performance, and ability. However, the most crucial problem is that Zhang Linjiang, director of the budget department, does not approve of him, so no matter how old his qualifications, good performance, and ability are, he is equal to zero, and it is impossible to be promoted......
Li Yutian knows very well in his heart: The reason why Zhang Linjiang doesn't like, recognize, or promote his son has a lot to do with him, a father, because in the past few years, his relationship with Secretary Lu of the provincial party committee has not been very good. Zhang Linjiang is Secretary Lu's son-in-law, so he naturally knows this relationship. Therefore, it is expected that he will not promote Li Yuelin.
Originally, Li Yutian couldn't pull down his face to find Zhang Linjiang to intercede for his son, but this time the situation was different: if Li Yuelin couldn't go to the next level, even if he still had the opportunity to be promoted to the department level in the future, he would lose his age advantage, and he would not be able to make great achievements in his career, and he might even stay in a department-level post for the rest of his life and become a mediocre person who achieved nothing-and this was absolutely difficult for Li Yutian, who wanted his son to become a dragon, to accept.
Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity of his recent retirement from the post of chief procurator and a little leisure time to go to the capital to find a leader of the Supreme People's Procuratorate who had a good relationship with Zhang Linjiang, and wanted to ask him to ask Zhang Linjiang to come out for a meeting, have a meal, and ask him to intercede for his son's promotion.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Linjiang learned that the object of the request was Li Yutian, he rejected the leader immediately, and there was no room for discussion, which made the leader embarrassed, but there was nothing to be done.
For this reason, Li Yutian was very distressed, and discussed with Wang Hai several times, wanting to pull down his old face and go directly to Secretary Lu, admit his mistake and apologize to him, ask for his understanding, and ask him to say hello to Zhang Linjiang and stop suppressing his son. But Wang Hai reminded him: Now that you are no longer in the position of the chief prosecutor, it is too late to go to Secretary Lu to admit your mistakes and apologize, not only will you not get his forgiveness, but it may even backfire, so that Secretary Lu thinks that you are a villain who is rampant when he gains his will and admits his mistakes when he loses power, and he will look down on you even more in his heart!
So, Li Yutian had to dispel the idea of seeking reconciliation with Secretary Lu, but he had no other way to help his son, and his hair turned gray a lot these days......
After listening to Wang Hai's narration, Ye Ming hesitated for a long time, and said with a little embarrassment: "Director Wang, if this is the case, even if I go to Director Zhang, he may not agree to promote Li Yutian's son!" This involves the grievances between Secretary Lu and Li Yutian, and Director Zhang will definitely be very cautious in handling it. Although I have a good relationship with him, he must consider it from the position of Secretary Lu, so it will be very difficult. ”
Ye Ming said this, in fact, he was deliberately setting off a smokescreen, the purpose was to clear up his true relationship with Secretary Lu and Zhang Linjiang and his wife. But in fact, he knew in his heart: as long as he insisted on asking his brother-in-law Zhang Linjiang for help, he would definitely agree, and he didn't have to ask Secretary Lu's opinion - after all, Li Yuelin was just a normal promotion and did not violate any principles.
Moreover, from another point of view, this is an equivalent exchange between you and me: Zhang Linjiang promoted Li Yuelin to director, and Li Yutian helped Lu Cheng promote to the chief prosecutor of Min'an City......
Wang Hai thought that he really had any concerns, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Ye, you can't force this matter." You can call Director Zhang to give it a try, if he agrees, it is gratifying, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, we will find another way to do Li Yutian's work. ”
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Then I'll call tomorrow to try." ”
Then, he looked at his watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, knowing that Wang Hai usually slept early, so he said goodbye to Lu Cheng and left.
After Wang Hai sent them out, he returned to the living room, picked up the landline and dialed Li Yutian's home.
After the phone was connected, Wang Hai asked, "Lao Li, how is the promotion of your family Yue Lin now?" A little eyebrow-browning? ”
Li Yutian sighed heavily, and said sullenly: "What eyebrows can you have?" It's not that you don't know: without Zhang Linjiang's approval, Yue Lin wouldn't even have a glimmer of hope. This Zhang Linjiang is a young man, and he has a father-in-law who is a feudal official, I heard that he is also very popular in their department, and he will soon be promoted to deputy minister, so he is very arrogant, and ordinary people don't buy it at all. I estimate that in the matter of Yue Lin's promotion, unless Secretary Lu speaks, it is possible to make Zhang Linjiang change his mind. Otherwise, it's useless to find a relationship with anyone! ”
Wang Hai pondered for a moment and said in a very solemn tone: "Lao Li, I can provide you with a message: In addition to Secretary Lu, there is another person who may be able to convince Zhang Linjiang." You haven't had direct contact with this person, but you know his name! ”
