Xiao Zhihui dialed Zou Wenming's phone number according to Zhang Dongfang's instructions.

After listening to Xiao Zhihui's words conveyed by Zhang Dongfang, Zou Wenming was silent for a while and said, "Director Xiao, please bless Xiao Ye on my behalf, and tell Director Zhang: I still have something at home, so I won't come over to eat and sing at night." ”

Zhang Dongfang heard that Team Leader Zou couldn't come, and remembered that he was a more rigid person, never entered the song hall and dance hall, and didn't drink a drop of alcohol, so he didn't force it, and asked Xiao Zhihui to take everyone to the big box he had just booked and prepare to drink.

After they sat down in the big box, just as Ouyang Military had predicted, more than a dozen middle-level cadres from the bureau came one after another, and almost all the top leaders of the bureau's subordinate units arrived.

Everyone who came brought red envelopes, and Ye Ming couldn't push them off even if he wanted to. He didn't have the habit of carrying bags with him, so he had to put all those red envelopes in Chen Yi's big kun bag.

Chen Yi is a very simple-minded person. She didn't think too much about the real purpose and intention of these people to celebrate Ye Ming's birthday, but when she saw that her beloved man was valued by so many leaders and colleagues, they all toasted, congratulated, and laughed around him, and she only felt extremely proud and proud in her heart.

Therefore, from beginning to end, she always had a happy expression on her face, and from time to time she glanced at Ye Ming, who was sitting beside him with high spirits and high spirits, and she forgot to hide and avoid it......

Fortunately, everyone at the table was focused on Ye Ming at the moment, and no one noticed the strange look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Ming......

Ye Ming is a person with a temperament, although Ouyang Jun said to him just now that it was not salty or light, and also analyzed the fundamental reason why so many leaders came to celebrate his birthday today. However, he was still very grateful for the enthusiasm of these leaders and colleagues, so he began to toast one by one at the table.

When Chen Yi was saluted, the people at the table thought that she would replace the wine with tea, because Chen Yi resolutely refused to drink no matter what the occasion was in the past, even if the leaders of the provincial bureau came up and toasted her at the wine table, she would smile and refuse.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Ming faced her with a glass of wine, smiled at her, and motioned for her to pick up the teacup, she unexpectedly picked up a cup, poured a full glass of liquor from the wine jug, touched Ye Ming, and drank it as soon as she craned her neck.

The people at the wine table were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

A few people took the opportunity to coax: "Chen Yi, pay tribute to Ye Ming!" Toast three glasses! ”

Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Sister Chen Yi, I know you can't drink alcohol, just drink tea!" ”

Chen Yiyan smiled, poured her cup full without saying a word, raised it and said to Ye Ming: "Little Yezi, my sister also gives you a cup in return, I wish you a year today, a year and a day!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned his neck and drank the wine.

As soon as this glass of wine was drunk, a trace of blush immediately appeared on Chen Yi's white and greasy face. The flush quickly soaked again, and soon her cheeks were flushed......

Ye Ming looked at her a little worriedly, and whispered, "Sister Chen, are you okay?" You don't drink anymore. If anyone wants to salute you, I will drink it for you! ”

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "No! Sister is happy today, she will be fine. ”

Ye Ming still wanted to persuade her a few words, but the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he took it out and looked at the number, it was Team Leader Zou's.

"Xiao Ye, can you answer the phone outside the box?"

"Yes, yes! Wait! ”

Ye Ming responded and walked out of the box quickly.

"Team Leader Zou, I'm out, please speak!"

"It's like this: I'm driving alone at the right corner of Chutian Hotel, can you come out for a while? Come and sit in my car and want to talk to you! ”

"Okay, I'll come right over!"

Ye Ming hung up the phone, walked into the box and said hello to Zhang Dongfang and the others, saying that there was a friend looking for him outside, so he hurriedly went out and walked to the corner on the right side of the hotel.

Team Leader Zou drove a Toyota he bought. Ye Ming pulled the car door and sat in the passenger seat, and said hello to Team Leader Zou with a smile.

Team Leader Zou turned on the overhead light, picked up a bulging envelope from his seat, and said with a smile while stuffing it into Ye Ming's hand: "Xiao Ye, you have a birthday today, it stands to reason that I should come to the hotel to toast you with a glass of wine and bless you." But you know, I'm not used to that kind of noisy scene, and I really can't drink, so I didn't come. Now I will send you blessings alone, and I hope you have a bright future and rise step by step! ”

Ye Ming was startled when he saw the bulging red envelope, he was afraid that there would be seven or eight thousand yuan, and hurriedly shirked it and said, "Team Leader Zou, how can this work?" I can't accept this gift! ”

Team Leader Zou couldn't help but stuff the red envelope into his arms and said, "Xiao Ye, this is a little bit of my heart, and it is solid, don't shirk it." I'm not like some people who take public money and are generous to themselves, and on the surface they make a lot of scenery, but in fact they don't pull out a dime themselves...... Xiao Ye, don't you mind when I say this! I didn't mean to target you! I just can't get used to their behavior, and I am disgusted with their hypocrisy! ”

Ye Ming knew that he was talking about Zhang Dongfang, and hurriedly said: "Team Leader Zou, in fact, I am also a little uncomfortable about today's matter. However, Director Zhang, they are also very kind, and I am still very grateful. Of course, you have a point, and thank you very much for speaking with me so openly! But I really can't ask for this red envelope! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the red envelope into Team Leader Zou's arms again.

Team Leader Zou said a little unhappily: "Xiao Ye, do you look down on me for this little gift?" If you dislike it, forget it! If you can afford me Zou Wenming, you can take the red envelope back! ”

Ye Ming saw that he had said everything about this, so he had to take the red envelope.

Team Leader Zou smashed his mouth with satisfaction, turned his head to look at him again, and said, "Xiao Ye, have you thought about your candidacy?" Did Zhang Dongfang make any promises to you? ”

"No, Director Zhang didn't tell me anything!"

Zou Wenming let out an "oh" and said thoughtfully: "He said at the party group meeting: I want to directly promote you to be the deputy director of the office secretary!" But I think if it were me, I would have another assignment for you! ”

When Ye Ming heard this, his heart brightened: Team Leader Zou wanted to compete with Zhang Dongfang. Because they are now very clear: who is in charge of the Xinleng County Bureau, and now the most critical and decisive role is him Ye Ming. As long as he strongly recommends someone in front of Xu Fei, seventy or eighty percent of this position is his......

Thinking of this, he asked with great interest: "Team Leader Zou, what do you say you will arrange for me?" ”

Zou Wenming said thoughtfully: "I think that with your ability, level and connections, it is more than enough to be responsible for the work of a department in our small county bureau. My idea is that Director Huang of the Inspection Bureau is likely to be promoted to deputy director this time, so Luo Wei, the director of the first sub-bureau, can be transferred to the inspection bureau as the director, and the first sub-bureau will not have a director for the time being. Then, you will be promoted to a sub-bureau as deputy director, and the bureau's party group will make it clear that you are temporarily responsible for the overall work of the bureau, that is, the meaning of the acting director, but do not issue documents, but only make it clear internally. In this way, you can become the de facto leader of a sub-bureau, but others have nothing to say! ”

When Ye Ming heard this incredible plan of "stealing beams and changing pillars", he couldn't help but admire Team Leader Zou's meticulous thinking.
