After calming down a little of his somewhat flustered mood, Ye Ming comforted Chen Yi in a calm tone and said, "Don't worry, if Li Zhi hasn't gone insane, he shouldn't do anything too out of the ordinary." He knows very well in his heart that Ben Ben is not his son, but he wants to fight a lawsuit with you for the custody of Ben Ben, which is obviously a strategy of his, probably to achieve some kind of goal. Why don't you meet him again and ask him straight what he wants to do? If he takes the opportunity to make any request, don't reply to him first, tell me and then find a way to deal with it, okay? ”

Chen Yi agreed to come down, and said that he would go to the gate to see Li Zhi immediately and talk to him in a teahouse.

That afternoon, Ye Ming was a little restless, and he had been waiting for the result of Chen Yi's negotiations with Li Zhi.

When he was about to get off work, Chen Yi finally called and said in a more anxious tone: "Ye Zi, Li Zhi just made it clear to me, saying that he had already seen Xiao Benben in kindergarten and knew that he was your son." He also said that someone had revealed some information about your real relationship with Uncle Deer, and that your mother had made a mistake with Uncle Deer when she was in college. Therefore, he suspects that you are Uncle Deer's own son, and Ben is Uncle Deer's grandson—"

Ye Ming anxiously interrupted her and asked, "Did he make any requests?" What is his real purpose? ”

"This bastard said at the beginning that he wanted to remarry me, and said that if I don't remarry, he will stay in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a complaint, first of all, accusing me of living with you and having children during the marriage period, committing the crime of bigamy; Then they will accuse you of adultery with many people, and give birth to a son outside of wedlock, and also commit bigamy; Finally, he also wants to sue Uncle Lu, saying that he knows that you have made a mistake in style, but he insists on promoting you with illness, and he has been promoted several times, there must be something hidden in this, and he asks the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to thoroughly investigate the problems——"

"How did you reply to him?"

"Ye Zi, you know about Xiao Benben, I can't deny it, he followed me before the Spring Festival, and secretly took a video of me and Xiao Benben together. Moreover, Xiao Benben's household registration is with me, in case he sues the court to fight for the custody of Xiao Benben, this matter will be even more troublesome, and it will be even more impossible to deny my mother-son relationship with Xiao Benben. Therefore, I acquiesced to his words, but told him very clearly: remarriage is absolutely impossible, Benben is not his son, and there is no question of fighting for custody. ”

"So what did he say? Did you make any other requests? ”

"I mentioned it. He finally said that it was okay if he didn't sue us, but you had to help him solve the problem at the Xinleng Iron Plant. As long as the problem of the Xinleng Steel Plant is solved, he can endure this breath. ”

Ye Ming hurriedly asked, "What problem does he want me to help solve?" What happened to the new cold steel plant? ”

Chen Yi told Ye Ming what Li Zhi told her.

It turned out that in the past few years when Li Zhi and Li Botang were in prison, Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant has always been his brother-in-law in charge of operation and management, but his brother-in-law's ability is not good, and Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant was fined hundreds of millions of yuan in taxes for tax evasion, and the bank no longer gives loans to the factory, so there is a big problem with working capital. Especially two years ago, steel prices continued to fall, and the price of raw materials continued to rise, resulting in a continuous decline in the efficiency of the steel industry, and the operation of Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant became more and more difficult. By the time Li Zhi was released home last year, Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant had accumulated a loss of more than 200 million. Fortunately, since the second half of last year, steel prices have suddenly soared, and Xinleng Steel Plant has barely maintained itself, but it still owes more than 100 million in debt.

However, in December last year, an environmental inspection team suddenly came down from the province to conduct an overt and covert visit to some polluting enterprises in K, found very serious problems, and demanded that K-city rectify and shut down dozens of seriously polluting enterprises, and the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant was one of the enterprises that were ordered to close......

When Ye Ming heard this, he couldn't help but take a big breath and asked, "Sister Chen, does Li Zhi want me to come forward to find a relationship for him and protect the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant from closing?" ”

"Yes, that's what he meant. He knew that you had a deep relationship in the province and had the ability to keep the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant, so he asked me that as long as you could help him keep the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant, the grievances between him and us would be written off, and he would never come to pester me again, and he would not sue you again. ”

Do you think he can be trusted? If I had solved the problem for him, and he had been instigated to come to us for trouble, would he not have another trick in his hands? ”

"No, I know this person too well. He is a typical prodigal, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, without any city government and scheming, and without any manly rigidity and integrity. If a person like him is destitute and cannot eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and have fun, it will be tantamount to his life. Therefore, he definitely did not want the Xinleng Steel Plant to be closed, because it was his cash cow cornucopia, and once it was closed, he would have to live in poverty for the rest of his life, which was what he feared the most. Therefore, I analyzed that he came to pester me this time, the purpose is to force you to come forward and help him keep the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant.

As long as he keeps the steel mill, he can still live a life of prostitution and gambling. Moreover, he also knows your energy, and if he really goes out to fight you to the end, he may end up miserable. Don't look at him on the surface, he looks like a cowhide coaxing, but in fact, he is relatively timid, and he has an instinctive awe of being an official, which is why he only dares to pester me, but he doesn't dare to directly threaten you. I reckon that as long as you help him settle the matter of the steel plant this time, he probably won't come to us again. ”

Ye Ming thought about it carefully and felt that Chen Yi's analysis was very reasonable, so he told Chen Yi: "Sister Chen, don't promise Li Zhi first, delay it for two days, I'll find someone here first, see if I can get in touch with the leaders of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, and ask if there is any possibility that Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant will not be closed." When I have the exact news, you ask him to contact me. ”

After hanging up Chen Yi's phone, Ye Ming immediately dialed his father's mobile phone, told him about the new situation, and said that he decided to help Li Zhi to see if he could eliminate this henchman first.

Secretary Lu said a little worriedly: "Xiaoming, have you thought it through?" If you help Li Zhi keep the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant, it will be tantamount to admitting that Chen Yi has an extramarital affair with you, and at the same time admitting that Xiao Benben is your son. In this way, Li Zhi is equivalent to pinching your seven inches, and if he wants to sue you in the future, he can make a fuss about this matter at any time, which is very risky! ”

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Dad, he now knows that Xiao Benben is my son, and even guessed the true relationship between me and you, if I reject him now, he will report to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately in despair." Once the report was accepted by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, it would be easy to find out the problems between me, Chen Yi and Xiao Benben. When the time comes, it will definitely affect you. Now I'm in a dilemma, I can only take one step at a time. ”
