Chapter 52: The Dust Settles
Ye Ming took Zhang Dongfang to find Xu Fei at night.
At this time, he had already determined in his heart that he wanted to help Zou Wenming fight for the position of the top of the Xinleng County Bureau. Because he already knew: Zhang Dongfang is much more cunning and hypocritical than Zou Wenming. If he really does it, many of the promises he makes to himself now may not be fulfilled by then.
And Zou civilization is different. Although this person has also been immersed in officialdom for a long time, he also has a set of ways and means to squeeze people and exclude people. But on the whole, this person is more honest and honest than Zhang Dongfang, and he will believe in his words and deeds, as long as he promises, he will definitely do it, unlike Zhang Dongfang and other old oilers, who first use hypocritical promises to win people over, and once the goal is achieved, he will cross the river and tear down the bridge to eat his words, and he is not ashamed to blush......
Of course, the main reason why Ye Ming wanted to help Zou Wenming was that Zou Wenming's plan to directly promote himself to a sub-bureau was fully affirmed by Xu Fei - just this morning, not long after Ye Ming returned to the bureau from Chen Yi's apartment, Xu Fei called him and asked who among the members of the leadership team of the county bureau had made it clear that he would be promoted.
Ye Ming told him Zhang Dongfang and Zou Wenming's promises to him one by one, but he subconsciously hid the section about promoting Chen Yi.
Xu Fei pondered on the phone for a moment, and then said slowly: "Brother, I think Zou Wenming's plan is very suitable, it is the most beneficial to you, and it is also the easiest to operate." From this point of view, he is a very attentive person. By the way, do you know anything about him? What is this person's character? Is it reliable? ”
"Director Xu, I know Team Leader Zou very well, he is more honest, more realistic, his style is also very down-to-earth, and he will do what he says. By the way, Zhang Dongfang and Team Leader Zou both want me to bring them to visit you, do you think it is convenient? ”
"It's okay, you just bring them. I was also trying to talk to them privately and get to know more about their personalities. ”
Therefore, when he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Ye Ming first took Zhang Dongfang and drove to the Municipal Bureau of K City. When they arrived, Xu Fei had just finished eating and was in his room at the city bureau guest house, ready to watch the news.
Xu Fei warmly entertained Zhang Dongfang and Ye Ming, not only making tea for them personally, but also taking them to a small restaurant nearby to order a few dishes and accompany them to drink a few beers. At the checkout, although Zhang Dongfang was fighting to pay the bill, Xu Fei just didn't give him a chance and paid the bill first.
Next, they chatted for more than an hour in that small restaurant. During this process, Zhang Dongfang proposed several times that he wanted to return to the guest house to report to Xu Fei alone to report his situation, but Xu Fei always smiled and said, "Director Zhang, let's talk here." Xiao Ye is not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt to listen to our conversation. Besides, it is inevitable that the two of us will be a little restrained and embarrassed to talk alone, but it is better to have a casual chat in this small shop. You tell me? ”
When Zhang Dongfang heard him say this, he couldn't force it, so he had to talk about his own situation according to his request, and vaguely expressed his desire to be the number one.
Xu Fei listened to his words very carefully, with a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end, but he didn't show anything from beginning to end.
When they finished talking and were about to walk out of the hotel, Zhang Dongfang suddenly looked around, then took out a bulging envelope from his briefcase, stuffed it into Xu Fei's arms from under the table, and whispered with a smile: "Director Xu, I came to see you this time, I didn't bring anything!" You're still inviting us to dinner, which is really a hassle for you. So, you must take this, I will treat you to a meal! ”
Xu Fei glanced down at the big envelope, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and he said with a straight face: "Director Zhang, please see the occasion clearly: this is a restaurant where people come and go, don't you think it's too conspicuous when you do this?" ”
Zhang Dongfang was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned like a big blood cake, and he snorted for a while, before he collected the envelope and apologized and said, "Director Xu, I'm sorry!" It's me who owes it ......."
Xu Fei smiled and said, "Director Zhang, this is not a question of lack of consideration, but a matter of principle. You don't have to worry about it, I have your heart. It's so late now, and you have to rush back, and I won't leave you in vain. You can go back and wait for news with peace of mind! The party group of the municipal bureau will carefully study and properly arrange the allocation of the leadership team of your county bureau, please rest assured! ”
At this time, Ye Ming knew that the purpose of Xu Fei's insistence on talking to Zhang Dongfang in the hotel was to prevent him from giving gifts to himself: if he and Zhang Dongfang stayed alone in the guest house to talk, even if he didn't accept Zhang Dongfang's money, he would probably be framed. However, as long as it is in this crowded hotel, and Ye Ming is present, when Zhang Dongfang wants to give a gift, it will be much more convenient for Xu Fei to refuse, and no matter whether Zhang Dongfang turns his face in the future or not, he can say it clearly......
Two days later, it happened to be Saturday, Ye Ming took Zou Wenming to the provincial bureau again and directly found Xu Fei's home.
Xu Fei was very satisfied with Zou Wenming after talking to him for more than an hour. Especially when Zou Wenming took the initiative to talk to him about Ye Ming's promotion, he listened more carefully, and nodded frequently from time to time, expressing his approval of his plan to promote Ye Ming......
Two days later, at the bureau meeting of the local taxation bureau of K city, Xu Fei, in front of all the party members and middle-level officials of the municipal bureau, suddenly talked about his feelings about his recent investigation in various counties and urban bureaus, and specially cited Zou Wenming, the head of the discipline inspection team of the Xinleng County Bureau, as an example, and said with emotion: Although the Xinleng County Bureau has such negative examples as Li Li and Chen Weiping. However, as the head of the bureau's discipline inspection team, Comrade Zou Wenming not only acted correctly and sat firmly, but also resolutely implemented the principle of "punishing and preventing at the same time, paying attention to prevention, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes" and preventing corruption, and adopted such measures as heart-to-heart talks and admonishment talks, and educated, helped, and rescued some comrades who were very close to Li Li and Chen Weiping, so that they could rein in their horses from the precipice and stop their steps toward the abyss of corruption in a timely manner. We must not only vigorously publicize such a comrade's excellent deeds, but also focus on cultivating and promoting him exceptionally......
When he solemnly talked about the little-known Zou Wenming, the participants were a little confused at first, and they couldn't figure out his true intentions. It wasn't until he said the last few words that everyone understood: Director Xu originally took a fancy to the low-ranking discipline inspection team leader of the Xinleng County Bureau and wanted to promote him, which was to give everyone a briefing in advance......
The top leaders of various departments of the city bureau, and even several newly transferred party members, are trying their best to tie up this new and somewhat mysterious leader. Therefore, as soon as he blew the wind at the meeting, all departments moved: the office immediately organized information officers to interview the Xinleng County Bureau, and sent a special newsletter to Zou Wenming in the information publication of the Municipal Bureau, reporting his advanced deeds; The Department of Political Science and Engineering also organized the collection of advanced materials of Zou Wenming, and prepared to apply for him as an outstanding tax worker in the province......
Soon, in the democratic evaluation held by the Municipal Bureau on the promotion of the main department, Zou Wenming received the highest number of votes, while Zhang Dongfang was fourth in the number of votes.
Soon after, the party group of the K City Local Taxation Bureau decided: Zou Wenming was appointed secretary of the party group and director of the Xinleng County Bureau, and Zhang Dongfang was also promoted and transferred to the municipal bureau as the chief of the political and engineering section.
