Chapter 821: Returning the Favor
Zhang Lingzhi walked into the living room of the 301 dormitory, looked left and right, and saw Ye Ming spread out the book "Guangwu Founding the Country" on the desk, took it in his hand and flipped through it, and asked with a smile: "Director Ye, you also like to read history books?" ”
Ye Ming replied with a smile while looking for a cup to make tea for Zhang Lingzhi: "Yes, I like to read history books very much, and I read through the "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian" during college. However, I am lazy in life and have no spirit of study. Therefore, I read books and swallow dates, although I have learned some knowledge, but I am half-understood, not as knowledgeable as County Magistrate Zhang's erudition and knowledge! ”
"Where, where! Director Ye is too modest! It's pretty good for a young person to be able to enjoy reading history. It's wise to read history! Sometimes I read history books, in fact, I also want to read the stories inside, and I want to see the history of the rise and fall of those emperors and generals. In fact, by reading history books, we can also understand many life philosophies, we can look down on many successes and failures, and we can also learn a lot of lessons for ourselves. Therefore, if a person struggles in officialdom, it is very beneficial to read more history books. What do you think? ”
Ye Ming felt that Zhang Lingzhi's views were completely consistent with his own thoughts, so he nodded and said, "I completely agree with County Magistrate Zhang's views. Sometimes when I encounter unsatisfactory things or suffer major setbacks, I will read history books and think about it: those once famous and powerful civil and military generals in history, once they lose the favor of the emperor, often go from being superior to a subordinate prisoner overnight, and sometimes even beheading all over the house - this kind of huge turning point in life is countless in history. Therefore, there is really no need for me to be troubled and suffer for a moment of adversity, because compared with the ups and downs of emperors, generals and wealthy families in history, my little predicament and small setback are really nothing - when I think about it, I will feel very calm in my heart, and I will also increase my courage to deal with difficulties correctly and work hard to overcome them. I think that's the biggest benefit of reading history. ”
Zhang Lingzhi listened to Ye Ming's eloquent talk, with unique insights and deep understanding, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: This beautiful young man doesn't seem to be the kind of red-lacquered toilet he imagined, and he seems to have some goods in his stomach. Such a young man who cultivates both inside and outside, and has such a good relationship with officialdom, may really have a brighter future in the future, as predicted by Zha Jiliang......
After taking the cup of tea brought by Ye Ming, Zhang Lingzhi took a sip very elegantly, then put the teacup on the desk, looked at Ye Ming, and said with a smile: "Director Ye, just after you left, I thought about your proposal to invite a reporter from the provincial TV station to our Zijiang County to interview and report, and I thought this idea was very good, so I immediately rushed over and wanted to ask Director Ye for help, contact your friend in the provincial station, and see what his opinion is." If he agrees to help, we can visit him together and treat him to a meal or a cup of tea. What do you think? Is it convenient for you to make this call now? ”
Zhang Lingzhi is a very cautious person, before Ye Ming himself said Zhang Yingzhi's name, he never mentioned Director Zhang, because he was afraid that Ye Ming would want to hide his relationship with Director Zhang. If he rashly said Zhang Yingzhi's name, it was likely to cause Ye Ming's displeasure. Therefore, he pretended not to know who Ye Ming's friend was, and just asked him to contact him.
Ye Ming looked at his watch and saw that it was not yet eleven o'clock, and it was estimated that Zhang Yingzhi had not slept yet, so he happily picked up his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Yingzhi's number. At the same time, when dialing, he also told Zhang Lingzhi that his friend was the head of the provincial Taiwan.
Zhang Lingzhi pretended to be surprised and let out an "oh", and then looked at Ye Ming with a little nervousness and expectation.
After the phone was connected, Ye Ming said enthusiastically: "Hello, Director Zhang! Don't disturb your rest! ”
Zhang Yingzhi smiled over there and said, "No, no!" Brother, don't be so polite with me. When you want to find me, call me at any time, even if you wake me up in the middle of the night, I'm also happy! Hahaha! ”
Ye Ming heard his kind words and knew that he was not being polite or hypocritically pleasing himself, but feeling from the heart, so he felt very warm in his heart, so he said: "Director Zhang, thank you for looking up to me as a junior so much. I'm calling you right now because I want your help. ”
Zhang Yingzhi hurriedly said: "Brother, you just have to say anything." As long as I can help, I will do my best for you to do it well. ”
Ye Ming glanced at Zhang Lingzhi, who was staring intently at his phone, thought about the wording, and then said: "That's the case: the squad leader of our youth cadre class is Zhang Lingzhi, the county magistrate of Zijiang County, K City. Zijiang County is my mother's hometown. Therefore, County Magistrate Zhang can be said to be my parent official. Moreover, in the two days that I came to the youth cadre class, County Magistrate Zhang was very friendly and took great care of me, and also helped me solve some practical difficulties and problems.
"I heard that during the period when County Magistrate Zhang was in charge of Zijiang, he drastically changed the appearance of the city, built people's livelihood projects according to local conditions, always cared about the people's welfare, and did a lot of practical work in improving the urban living environment, controlling pollution, and building ecological parks, and also achieved remarkable results, which were highly praised and affirmed by the people of the county, especially the residents of the county.
Not long ago, "K City Daily" once used the title of "Lunch County Magistrate" to focus on the hard work and hard work of County Magistrate Zhang and his achievements in the daily newspaper. I also read that report, and after reading it, I was deeply moved by the deeds of County Magistrate Zhang. It just so happened that a comrade from the Propaganda Department of the Zijiang County Party Committee came to report to County Magistrate Zhang today, and I was also present at that time. According to this comrade of the Propaganda Department, they very much hope that the provincial television station will focus on the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Zijiang County in the past three years, and also hope to mention in passing the achievements of the leading body of the Zijiang County Party Committee, especially County Magistrate Zhang. Therefore, I would like to ask Director Zhang for a favor and see if I can arrange a few reporters to go to Zijiang County to cover and report. I might be presumptuous to ask for this, but if you don't think it's appropriate, forget it. ”
As soon as Zhang Yingzhi heard his tone and request, he immediately guessed: This was the county magistrate of Zijiang County who personally made a request to Ye Ming, and when Ye Ming made this call now, he was probably listening to it from the side.
So, he pondered for a while, and then replied: "Brother, let me tell you the truth: Zijiang County has come to Taiwan to look for us several times, and wants us to publicize and report on their county's work, but I have politely refused. However, now that your brother has opened his mouth, that's another matter. You can tell the comrades of the Propaganda Department of the Zijiang County Party Committee: I will arrange for reporters to go down next week to cover the news. If their achievements are particularly outstanding, I can also consider doing a feature for them. ”
