Yi Xiaonan heard Ye Ming suddenly mention Li Weidong, and asked in surprise: "Brother Ming, do you also know Vice Minister Li?" His hometown is indeed one of our districts, in our neighboring county. However, my uncle did not have a good impression of him, saying that although he had some ability and level, and his qualifications were relatively old, he was relatively small-minded and patterned, and he was not a frank gentleman and not worthy of deep friendship, so he wanted to visit my uncle several times but was rejected.

"During the Spring Festival this year, I went to the capital to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle, and by the way, I had a small party with several Xijiang villagers from the General Office of the State Council, and Li Weidong was also invited to participate in this party. During the banquet, a fellow from the same county as me accidentally mentioned my uncle, and Li Weidong immediately impressed me, toasted me incessantly at the banquet, and warmly invited me to his house to play. I knew that my uncle had a bad impression of him, so I politely rejected him. But he didn't give up, and the next day he called me again to ask me to go for tea, but I refused again. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the box door, listened to the movement outside again, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ming: "Brother Ming, do you know why my uncle has such a bad impression of Li Weidong?" I heard my aunt say that this matter is related to Secretary Lu. When Li Weidong was young, he studied for a master's degree at Capital University with Secretary Lu, during which he caught Secretary Lu's life style problems, so he sued everywhere to bring down Secretary Lu, but then Secretary Lu's father-in-law came forward to suppress this matter, and Li Weidong has not been reused.

"When my uncle first joined the work, he served Secretary Lu's father-in-law Gu Lao for several years, and Secretary Lu helped and took care of him a lot, so he knew Secretary Lu's character, knowledge and ability very well, and I was also grateful to Secretary Lu for his help. When I learned that Li Weidong had framed Secretary Lu, my uncle had a prejudice against him, thinking that he was not bright enough, and his mind and strength were not suitable for being a big leader, so he was not interested in him. Although he is a relatively authentic fellow, my uncle never interacts with him. ”

Ye Ming nodded, looked at Yi Xiaonan thoughtfully, and asked again: "Li Weidong wants to slap you so desperately, and wants to build your uncle's bridge through you, he must have a purpose and an idea, right?" ”

"That's right. I have heard from several fellow villagers in the General Office of the State Council that Li Weidong has been stumbling in the officialdom for the past 30 years, and he has been working in a department-level post for more than 20 years, and he has never been able to go any further, and it was not until five years ago that the No. 7 head of the Central Committee, with whom he had a relatively good relationship, was about to enter the highest decision-making level of the Central Committee, which helped him to step up to a higher level and arranged for him to serve as vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology. At present, among the seven leaders at the highest decision-making level of the central government, only the seventh leader is willing to help him, but it is not the kind of relationship that does his best to help him. To put it bluntly, in the minds of the head of the central decision-making level, Li Weidong is the kind of embarrassing role of 'uncle is not close and grandmother is not loved'.

If he doesn't climb to the ministerial level, he will be 60 years old in two years, and he will either retire, or he can only go to the National People's Congress, the CPPCC or some other central-level associations and literary and artistic organizations to serve as idle retirement, and then retire at the age of 65, which is the outcome he fears the most. Therefore, he is now anxious to find a related person who can catch up with the No. 1 head of the Central Committee, and wants to use the remaining two years to strive for promotion to a ministerial-level substantive post, in that case, he will be about 634 years old after one term, and he can continue to work for another term until he retires at the age of 68, and this kind of career is his most ideal result. And my uncle is the person he is now anxious to make friends and rely on. ”

After listening to Yi Xiaonan's words, Ye Ming's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he said to Yi Xiaonan: "Brother, I have made an appointment with Mr. Zhao Jiping, chairman of Fuxin Technology Group, and I will go to visit Vice Minister Li Weidong tomorrow afternoon and report to him about the construction of Fuxin Science and Technology Industrial Park in Beishan." I heard Director Xu say that the day after tomorrow is your aunt's 50th birthday, and Secretary Lu will also rush to your uncle's house to attend the birthday banquet. I'd like to visit your uncle and celebrate your aunt's birthday as your friend, okay? ”

Yi Xiaonan knew that his uncle had a good impression of Ye Ming and spoke highly of him, and he also knew that the relationship between Ye Ming and Secretary Lu was extraordinary, since Secretary Lu was going to celebrate his aunt's birthday in person, if Ye Ming followed, his uncle and aunt would definitely be very happy, so he readily agreed: "Okay, let's take the plane to the capital together at nine o'clock tonight, tomorrow I will be at my uncle's house, and you go to the Ministry of Science and Technology to do business." If there's anything I need help with, I'll do my best. ”

Ye Ming said happily: "Okay, I'll book a plane ticket for nine o'clock tonight, and let Chu Chu drive to pick us up when I get to the capital." ”

At around 1:40, Yi Xiaonan said goodbye to Ye Ming, hurriedly walked out of the hotel, and rushed to the provincial party committee to report to Secretary Lu. Ye Ming walked out of the hotel after checking out, and first made a phone call to Wang Hai, who was in a meeting in the capital, and asked him if he was free tomorrow night? If you have time, I want to invite him to have a meal in the capital. Wang Hai happily said that he would return to Tianjiang the day after tomorrow after the meeting, and that he would be free tomorrow night and could gather together.

After making an appointment with Wang Hai, Ye Ming made another call to Xia Chuchu, first telling her that he would take a nine-o'clock plane to the capital with Yi Xiaonan tonight, and asked her to drive to the airport to pick her up at that time.

Then, he smiled and said: "Chu Chu, I have two more things to discuss with you: first, just now I have already made my own decision to sell the house in the 'Ruihe Jiacheng' community in M City to Yi Xiaonan. He was financially tight, and he was in a hurry to get married but didn't have a new house, and my house was largely unused, so I resold it to him and promised him not to rush to pay for the house – you have no opinion! ”

Xia Chuchu has met Yi Xiaonan a few times, and he has a very good impression of him, and he also knows that he is the nephew of the director of the General Secretary's Office, and knows that Ye Ming must have a deep meaning in doing this. Moreover, she has never paid much attention to money, and sometimes she is more generous than Ye Ming, so when she heard Ye Ming say that she had sold the house in the provincial capital to Yi Xiaonan, she said nonchalantly: "I completely agree, how can I have an opinion?" In the future, when you go to the provincial capital, you will come to live in my house, it just so happens that my parents often complain that you rarely visit them, after this house is sold, you will have no excuse not to go to my house, which is a great thing! ”

Ye Ming smiled and said: "The second thing, I would like to ask you to make an appointment with the leaders and well-known reporters of your CCTV News Center to have a meal together tomorrow night, I want them to help promote Beishan Fuxin Science and Technology Industrial Park." This industrial park is built by Fuxin Technology Group, with a large investment scale and in line with the national industrial development policy, which is the economic focus that you CCTV needs to focus on, as long as you come forward to invite, it should be no problem. ”

Xia Chuchu replied very happily: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon, I will make an appointment with Director Liu of the news center, and ask him to arrange for two well-known reporters to come over for dinner together, and you will discuss the interview and reporting matters in detail at the wine table." ”
