Xu Fei investigated the Xinleng County Bureau for a day and a half, and Ye Ming was almost inseparable from him: eating, living, and walking together, the two of them were as close as a pair of brothers.

When Xu Fei left Xinleng, the local tax system of K City immediately spread: the new Director Xu has a hardcore brother in the Xinleng County Bureau. And this hardcore brother is likely to be the powerful behind-the-scenes figure who helped him ascend to the throne of the Local Taxation Bureau of K City. Moreover, the original Director Qiu Shunming, Li Li and Chen Weiping were also brought down by this mysterious young man......

On the afternoon of the second day after Xu Fei left, as soon as Ye Ming arrived at the office, Chen Yi asked with a smile: "Where are you going to treat tomorrow?" Is it Xinleng Hotel or Chutian Hotel? ”

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely: "Treat?" What kind of guests do I have? ”

Chen Yi glanced at him and said angrily: "What are you pretending to be stupid? Tomorrow is October 19th, isn't it your birthday? You are twenty-four years old this year, which is the year of your birth, and you should celebrate it. By the way, do you want my sister to buy you a few pairs of red shorts for you? ”

After saying the last sentence, her own face turned red first, and she covered her mouth and laughed.

Ye Ming then remembered: Tomorrow is indeed his birthday, and he almost forgot it, but he didn't expect Chen Yi to keep it firmly in his mind......

Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Yi gratefully, and said sincerely: "Sister Chen, thank you!" To be honest, I've forgotten my birthday almost every year since my mother died. It was you who reminded me last year that I had a birthday dinner at your house. People like me, as Chen Weiping said, are typical 'eight no' cadres: no father, no mother, no job and no power, no car, no house, no background and no background. Therefore, the whole Xinleng Land Taxation Bureau, that is, your sister, remembers my birthday. So, I want to invite you to dinner tomorrow night, firstly, to celebrate myself, and secondly, to thank you for your care and care for me over the past few years. To paraphrase a cheesy phrase: It's nice to have your sister! ”

Chen Yi glanced at him a little shyly, and asked in a low voice, "Will there be just the two of us for dinner tomorrow?" Do you want to call a few more colleagues in the bureau? If it's just the two of us, I'm afraid—"

Ye Ming knew that she was afraid that if she ran into an acquaintance, she would inevitably gossip, so she thought about it and said, "Then call Ou Yangming and Li Can from the first bureau!" Others don't think I'll call them either. ”

Chen Yi nodded, then opened the Kun bag on the desk, took out a beautifully packaged small box from it, handed it to Ye Ming, and said, "This is my birthday gift for you." I was going to give it to you tomorrow. Since you called someone else, I'll leave it to you today. ”

Ye Ming knew that Chen Yi didn't like fake politeness, so he took it and said with a smile: "Can I open it now?" ”

He asked for instructions, but his hand quickly opened the gift box, and when he saw that it was a diamond-studded Omega butterfly watch, it was estimated that it would cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

"Sister Chen, why did you give me such a valuable gift?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "The best ornament for a man is a watch. You look so handsome, bringing a watch can set off your temperament even more. So, I bought you this watch! You wear it and try it! ”

Ye Ming put on the watch as he said. Chen Yi stood up, raised his wrist and looked at it, with a satisfied smile on his face......

When they were about to get off work the next afternoon, Ye Ming and Chen Yi called Ou Yangming and Li Can, and the four of them came to the Chutian Hotel, asked for a small box, ordered a few dishes, and sat in the box to chat.

Ou Yangming is the deputy director of the first sub-bureau, and he has always had a good relationship with Ye Ming just after his first year. Li Can is from the Inspection Bureau, and he and Ye Ming took the civil service exam to enter the Xinleng Land Taxation Bureau, and he can be regarded as one of the few hardcore brothers of Ye Ming in the Xinleng County Bureau.

"Brother, now there are rumors in the system that you have great energy, and you have not only brought down two directors of the local taxation bureau, but also helped up another director. Brother, you also know my state in the county bureau, I was promoted very early, but I have been dying, always wandering in the position of middle-level deputy, and I have been a deputy for five or six years, but it is difficult to take another step. Can you use your connections to help my brother? ”

While chatting, Ou Yangming asked Ye Ming half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ye Ming squinted his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said, "Brother Ming, I have also heard these rumors. Let me tell you this: Whether it is Qiu Shunming, Li Li, or Chen Weiping, they all brought down themselves by themselves. As the saying goes: things must rot first and then worms grow! Their own hearts are already rotten, and if I don't want to bring them down, they themselves will collapse sooner or later! Therefore, everyone rumors that I have brought down two bureau chiefs is really an overestimation of my ability and relationship! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Ou Yangming twice again and said, "Now there are a few people in this box who are playing well, so I will be blunt: Brother Ming, the reason why you have been hovering in the deputy position in the past few years is not because you are incapable, nor is it because you have not worked hard." I think you still have a lot of character flaws, such as poor self-control, like to play cards, drink and sing, like to mingle with taxpayers unprincipledly, like to pat your chest and make it difficult to do things for that, and so on.

Although these are small things, they are details, but there is a saying that 'details determine success or failure'! The accumulation of these small details of yours left an impression on the leaders and colleagues: Ou Yangming is immature, unreliable, and has an unruly style! In this way, when you encounter critical times such as selection and appointment, democratic evaluation, etc., many people will give you a bad evaluation. ”

When he said this, Ye Ming saw that Ou Yangming's face was a little unsightly, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ming, this is also my own immature opinion, I hope you don't mind, if you have it, you will change it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged!" We are brothers, so I can say these offensive words from the bottom of my heart. You can listen to it, or you can listen to it. ”

At this time, Ye Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he looked at the number, it was Zhang Dongfang's.

"Xiaoye, where is it now? I've heard people say, "It's your birthday!" Can you treat me to a celebratory drink in the evening? ”

Zhang Dongfang's voice on the phone was particularly soft and cordial.

Ye Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Director Zhang, you are too polite!" I'm at the Chutian Hotel right now, and I'm getting ready to eat. I'm honored if you can have a glass of wine with your face! ”

The custom here in Xinleng, generally if it is a birthday or a happy event, others want to come to drink, and they cannot refuse. Therefore, although Ye Ming didn't want Zhang Dongfang to ruin the interest of several of them, he could only invite him against his will.

"Alright, I'll come over now!"

When Ou Yangming heard that Zhang Dongfang was coming over to celebrate Ye Ming's birthday, he was surprised and envious, and said, "Brother, you still have enough face!" Have a small ordinary birthday, and the leader will come to celebrate you in person. Looks like you'll be up and running soon! ”

Before Ye Ming could answer his words, his mobile phone rang again. Looking at the number, it was Jin Chiliang, deputy director of the county bureau.

"Xiao Ye, happy birthday! Where are you now? Can I have a glass of birthday wine in the evening? ”
