Li Zhi didn't expect that Ou Yangming was here to return the stolen goods, holding three playing cards in his hand, and after being stunned for a moment, he rolled his eyes and said very unhappily: "Director Ou, when did you become so serious and unkind?" Did you learn it from the wooden braincase surnamed Ye? My father has already interceded with you: you have done the tax reduction and exemption procedures for us, and the money is all your hard-earned expenses. If you don't want it, others will still want it, so why should you be the culprit?

"Think about it: now that you have returned the money, you have offended me and my dad in the first place, haven't you? If the leaders above you get money, and they know that you don't want it, you offend them again, don't you? So, I advise you to take the money back with you. I believe that with your friendship with Ye Ming, you can convince him to accept this money. You can also tell him: The 200,000 yuan is just a holiday gift, and after the tax reduction and exemption procedures are completed, we will pay you the hardship fee you deserve in accordance with the rules.

"Director Ou, we have also known each other for many years, and I know your local tax system very well. So, please forgive me for my bluntness: our company gave you and Ye Ming hard money, and you gave the green light to our company's application for tax reduction and exemption, to put it bluntly, this is a mutually beneficial transaction. You don't feel ashamed to accept this money, and you don't have to feel that you owe us any favors. As long as you do a good job of tax reduction and exemption for us, even if our transaction is successful, neither of us owes anyone, right? ”

Ou Yangming knew that Li Zhi had been doing business outside for many years, and his mouth was even more powerful than his father's, and he was very good at fooling people by saying crooked reasoning and heresies.

So, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhi, let me tell you the truth: last night, I tried to give the 100,000 yuan to Director Ye. However, when I came face to face with him, my heart was empty, and I didn't dare to mention it at all. You say he's an unenlightened wooden braincase, and that's probably right from your point of view. However, there is a righteous aura in this wooden braincase, which makes those who want to win him over and corrupt him beat the drum in their hearts, and they don't know how to convince him. So, thinking about it, I still have to return the money to you. However, please rest assured that you and Uncle Li will not want this money, but I will still help your company to do persuasion work with Director Ye, and strive to make him not take it too seriously, don't gouge out his eyes and find snakes, and deal with it flexibly. With my friendship with your brother Zhi, you should still be able to believe me! ”

Li Zhi listened to the meaning of his words, as if the money had to be refunded today, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Director Ou, if you have to return this money, then please wait a while, I will call my father first and ask his opinion - after all, this money was not given to you by my hand, right?" If you have to return the money, you have to go to my father and return the money in front of him, and that's good for you, isn't it? ”

Ye Ming heard that he was reasonable, nodded and said, "Okay, please Brother Zhi immediately make a call to Uncle Li, see where he is now, I will send him the money later." ”

After saying these few words, he knew that when Li Zhi waited to discuss with his father, there must be some words that he should not hear, so he took the initiative to open the box door and walked in, leaving Li Zhi alone in the corridor to call his father.

After Li Zhi waited for Ou Yangming to enter the box, he walked a few steps away, walked to the corner of a corridor in the teahouse, and then dialed Li Botang's mobile phone and told Ou Yangming that he was going to return the money.

Li Botang pondered for a moment, and then said in a gloomy voice: "Li Zhi, we must not take back this money. I told you last time: Sending 200,000 yuan to Ou Yangming and Ye Ming is a plan to kill two birds with one stone: first, the main purpose is to let them not card our tax reduction and exemption report, and strive to smoothly approve the tax reduction and exemption; Secondly, we have to use this money to jam the neck of the kid surnamed Ye and put a shackle on him, so that he will not be so arrogant and not so unsightly. Every time I think of the last time I interceded with Kang Wenxiang at the Three Golden Flower Restaurant, the arrogance of the kid surnamed Ye itched with hatred - that was also the most shameless and humiliating thing for me. Therefore, you have to leave that money in Ou Yangming's hands today no matter what. As long as he doesn't return the money, no matter whether he finally gives 100,000 yuan to Ye Ming, Ye Ming will not be able to get rid of it anyway. ”

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed and said, "Dad, if Ou Yangming insists on returning the money, I can't refuse!" Besides, if I resolutely refuse to accept it, he really can't return it, and after I go back, I will hand over the money to their county bureau supervision and examination room, then aren't we a bamboo basket to draw water? Moreover, in this way, it will be more difficult for us to reduce taxes! ”

Li Botang didn't make a sound, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

After about a minute, he suddenly asked, "Are you playing cards now?" ”

"Well, I'm playing cards with a few friends at the Yunhai Teahouse."

"Is it a big fight? What is the approximate win or loss? ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said a little weakly: "General!" If you have bad luck, you will probably lose two or three hundred thousand yuan. ”

"Okay, you can find a way to drag Ou Yangming to the card table, and then find a way to let him export the money that he is going to return today. When the time comes, I'll see what he can do to retreat! ”

When Li Zhi heard his father's cold tone, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "Dad, Ou Yangming doesn't play cards at all now." I have asked him out a few times, but each time he refused without hesitation, and he no longer ran over as soon as he heard that there were cards to play, and sometimes he didn't eat as soon as he heard about it. Besides, we played so big again today, he probably won't be on the table. ”

Li Botang sneered and said, "Li Zhi, let me tell you one thing: dogs can't change eating!" This phrase applies especially to gamblers. As far as I know, Ou Yangming is an out-and-out gambler, with all the characteristics of a gambler: poor self-control, impetuousness, always having a fluke mentality, always wanting to get rich overnight, lacking self-discipline, and always forgiving his mistakes......

"And a gambler, if he doesn't go into the water, he's afraid that he won't have money. As long as he has money around him and doesn't need you to do more work, he will always be unable to hold back, and his hands will always be itchy, just like a drug addict. So, you just have to find an excuse to say that I have something to do and can't see him for the time being, and let him sit in the teahouse and wait for me. Naturally, he'll be watching you play cards from the sidelines. Looking at it, he can't help it - because he has money in his bag today, so he will definitely go into the water. ”
