Chapter 367: Old Scheming
After Ye Ming sent Xia Chuchu and Li Wen home that night, he returned to the eighth floor of the Shenlong Hotel and rested in the suite next to Wang Xiuguang for one night. [No pop-ups]
At seven o'clock the next morning, Wang Xiuguang, who was full of expectations and apprehensions, woke up Ye Ming, who was sleeping in a daze.
The "Yazhai Thin Bamboo Picture" that Ye Ming brought from home has always been in Wang Xiuguang's hands. At this moment, he was holding the rectangular box with the picture in his hand, and he followed behind Ye Ming step by step, watching Ye Ming wash his face and rinse his mouth, while constantly asking him how to introduce the topic about him after meeting Secretary Lu, and how to justify his behavior of ordering Ye Ming's arrest in the first place.
Ye Ming didn't know how to say good things for Wang Xiuguang, and he didn't think of a good excuse and entry point after thinking about it for a long time. Therefore, listening to Wang Xiuguang's question at this moment, he was also a little dazed and ignorant, put the toothbrush stained with foam in his mouth, and said a little hesitantly: "Mayor Wang, wait a minute, Secretary Lu is going to talk to me about the topic of literature and art, and it may not involve people and things in the officialdom." Moreover, with my position and qualifications, I really can't talk to Secretary Lu about these things. So, I don't really know how to bring up the topic about you. ”
Wang Xiuguang thought about it carefully, and Ye Ming was not wrong: Secretary Lu made it clear today that he wanted Ye Ming to go over to drink tea and chat with him and talk about literary and artistic topics. If in this process, Ye Ming raises questions about himself violently, not only will it ruin the scenery, but it is also likely to arouse Secretary Lu's disgust, that is, stealing chickens and rice......
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but become anxious again, and said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, aren't you going to Secretary Li's house for a birthday dinner at noon?" If Secretary Lu really doesn't have a chance to speak, you can talk to Secretary Li, just say that you know me better, and the order to arrest you that time was purely deceived by Kang Wenxiang's father and son, and he didn't intend to rectify you - in fact, this was indeed the case at that time, right? My mistake was to attach too much importance to the feelings of my classmates, and my style was a bit vain, and I made a rash decision without investigation. Now, I have fully realized my mistake, and I have personally apologized to you - you want to say this to Secretary Li, plus Director Xu is beating the side drum next to me and saying a few good words to me, I believe that with your relationship with Secretary Li, plus Director Xu's face, Secretary Li will definitely forgive me, and will definitely go to Secretary Lu to defend me. ”
Ye Ming also wanted to help Wang Xiuguang because of Xu Fei's relationship, and listening to what he just said was also very reasonable, it seemed that he could also extricate him from the current predicament, so he nodded and said, "Okay." If Secretary Lu is really hard to say, I will mention it to Secretary Li according to your wishes. However, you also know Secretary Li's character. Is he willing to go and tell Secretary Lu for you, I don't dare to pack a ticket for this! ”
Wang Xiuguang hurriedly nodded and said, "Xiao Ye, you don't have any pressure and burden on this. As long as you decompose and defend me with Secretary Lu or Secretary Li, even if you don't change their opinion of me, I am still grateful to you! ”
At this moment, Ye Ming's mobile phone suddenly chirped on the bed.
Ye Ming ran out of the bathroom, picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, but it was Xia Chuchu calling.
"Hillbilly, are you up? I've already driven to the Shenlong Hotel. You have to clean up a little bit of yourself, this is to see the secretary of the provincial party committee, don't be the same old turtle, with messy hair and untidy clothes, people will know at a glance that they are from the poor countryside, I won't accompany you to lose this ugliness! Hey! ”
Xia Chuchu didn't need to choke Ye Ming with words every day, and he didn't sneer at him, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his mouth was itchy, Ye Ming had long been accustomed to this, so he didn't care about her mocking tone, and said with a smile: "Chu Chu, I followed you, a big star, to see Secretary Lu, the more rustic you dress, the more you can reflect your foreign spirit and trendiness?" You are a safflower, I am the green leaf that foils you, the so-called 'red with green, not enough to see', my foil of the green leaf, there is no need to dress up, as long as you are beautiful, right? Hahaha! ”
Xia Chuchu heard him say that he was a red flower and he was a green leaf, and he was very happy, so he scolded with a smile and scolded "poor mouth" and hung up the phone with a "snap".
Wang Xiuguang heard Ye Ming shouting "Chu Chu" on the phone, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Xiao Ye, are you going to see Secretary Lu with others today?" Is that person Xia Chuchu, the star host of the provincial TV station? ”
Ye Ming nodded and said, "That's right, she and I both had dinner at Secretary Li's house last night, and when I heard that I was going to Secretary Lu's office, she also shouted to go with her, so Secretary Lu agreed to her." ”
Wang Xiuguang is a person who reacts quickly, as soon as he heard Ye Ming's words, he immediately guessed that his relationship with Xia Chuchu was unusual, and he immediately thought of a reason for Ye Ming to mention himself in front of Secretary Lu.
So, after thinking for a while, he said to Ye Ming very solemnly: "Xiao Ye, since Xia Chuchu is going to see Secretary Lu with you, I think this is a great opportunity to mention me to Secretary Lu!" ”
Ye Ming didn't react for a while, and asked a little strangely: "How is this an opportunity?" I think it's even harder to ask if there are two people present! ”
Wang Xiuguang said confidently: "Xiaoye, this is not a problem. Listening to the tone of your phone call just now, you should have a good relationship with Xia Chuchu. So, even if you ask her my questions in person, it's okay. What's more: with Xia Chuchu here, you can discuss with her first, and ask her to ask her about resisting taxes with a gun last time when you collected taxes at the right time. In this way, you can take the opportunity to say: In that incident, Kang Wenxiang and his son were not only arrogant, but also very cunning, and even Mayor Wang was deceived by them and almost fell for them. At this time, Secretary Lu is likely to ask you: How did Mayor Wang fall for it? You can tell him in detail that Kang Wenxiang framed you for beating someone first and that I was deceived by him, and say a few good words to me appropriately, and it is estimated that this matter will be done! ”
Ye Ming thought for a while: This is indeed a good way. It seems that Wang Xiuguang is still scheming, and after so many years in the officialdom, his reaction is much faster than that of a "rookie in officialdom" like himself......
So, when he rushed to the provincial party committee compound in Xia Chuchu's car, Ye Ming told Xia Chuchu about the method proposed by Wang Xiuguang and asked her to cooperate with him.
Xia Chuchu didn't answer yet, but her mobile phone vibrate, and when she looked at the number, it was from the deputy director of their provincial station.
