Speaking of this, Li Botang looked at Ou Yangming and further analyzed: "Moreover, as long as you persuade Xiao Ye to accept this hard fee, not only will you have a safe guarantee, but even we feel very relieved, and we don't have to worry about the procuratorate coming to investigate our bribery crime one day." Why? You should be very clear: behind Xiaoye, there is the support of Li Runji, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Xiao Ye is Secretary Li's default godson, and he once saved his life. Therefore, on the issue of building a clean and honest government, as long as Xiao Ye does not make any major incidents of corruption and bribery of tens of millions of dollars, and does not alarm the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, within the scope of Tianjiang Province, who dares to touch him at all? Besides, the interests of our steel mill are actually linked to you: if you are investigated, the income tax reduction in our factory will definitely be re-investigated, and maybe I will also be held accountable for bribery and defrauding the state of taxes. Therefore, we are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, Xiaoou, you don't have to worry about what will happen to me. ”

When Ou Yangming heard these words, the little vigilance in his mind finally disappeared completely, and he nodded and said, "Uncle Li, then I'll try it!" Director Ye is now in the capital, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return until a week later. When the time comes, I'll go and tell him personally. ”

Li Botang happily patted Ou Yangming's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ou, your uncle's attitude is very happy. In this way, seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, our tax reduction and exemption information will be reported immediately after the Spring Festival. Tomorrow you go to my office, there is a little holiday gift, please go and get it, and by the way, bring a copy to Xiaoye. ”

The next day, Ou Yangming followed Li Botang's instructions and came to his chairman's office at Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant. After chatting with him for a few words, Li Botang made a phone call to the company's cashier and asked her to come to his office and bring her things.

Soon, a middle-aged woman with glasses pushed open the door and came in with a lady's bag on her back.

Li Botang pointed at Ou Yangming and said to the middle-aged woman: "Xiao Wang, this is Ou Yangming, deputy director of the Local Taxation Bureau, who has just taken over the work of the key enterprise group, and you may not have dealt with him yet." I'll go to the toilet first, and you can take care of it. ”

Ou Yangming knew the tax accountant of Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant, but he was a little embarrassed by this cashier surnamed Wang, and saw Li Botang turn around and go into the resting room in the office, and closed the door, saying that he had gone to the toilet, and a slight feeling of uneasiness passed through his heart, but he didn't care too much.

The cashier surnamed Wang smiled slightly, and took out two bundles of hundred-yuan bills that had just been taken out of the bank from the big satchel, each bundle was ten bundles, which should be 100,000 yuan.

Then, she put the banknotes on the table and said to Ou Yangming: "Director Ou, here is 200,000 yuan, please click on it." If nothing else, I'll go out first. ”

Ou Yangming stared at the two thick bundles of banknotes on the table, and his mind was a little confused for a while: how could Li Botang give gifts in this way? That's too conspicuous, isn't it? Since they want to send money, their company goes directly to the bank to apply for two cards, isn't it much simpler?

Not long after the cashier went out, Li Botang smiled apologetically while wiping his wet palm with a tissue, and said, "Xiao Ou, I was a little anxious just now, I'm sorry." You must be wondering why I would just give you cash! Actually, this is also for your sake: it is indeed much easier to go to the bank to get a card now, and then give the card to you. However, if I give you a bank card, if something happens in the future, those who check this matter only need to go to the bank to check the two cards and make sure that you have transferred the money in the card or taken it out, and the evidence is so ironclad that they can't tell if they want to. But this cash is different, you accept it today, and if anyone wants to check it out, and you deny that you didn't take the money, no one can do anything because they have no evidence! Right? As for the Xiao Wang just now, don't worry, she is also a shareholder of the company, and she has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she will never go out to talk about anything. ”

Although Ou Yangming still had some doubts in his heart, he listened to Li Botang's words so firmly and explained it reasonably, so he didn't say anything more, and took the 200,000 yuan back with a brown briefcase that Li Botang had prepared for him......

And tonight, Ou Yangming came to Ye Ming, in addition to wanting to return Chen Mengqi's 70,000 yuan in cash, the main purpose was to give Ye Ming the 100,000 yuan that Li Botang gave him, and then do Ye Ming's ideological work by the way, so that after the Spring Festival, he would give the green light to revitalize the tax reduction and exemption materials of the iron and steel plant, sign a letter on it, and don't go to any tax reduction and exemption investigations.

However, for some reason, as soon as he saw Ye Ming, he didn't have the courage to give him money. Especially when Ye Ming vigilantly asked him: where did he get the 70,000 yuan together, he was even more flustered in his heart, and he almost didn't dare to make eye contact with Ye Ming's eyes.

It was only at this time that he realized that Ye Ming naturally had an awe-inspiring righteousness in his body. It is this righteousness that enables him to calmly face all temptations, to consciously resist all unhealthy tendencies, and to make those who want to corrupt him and win him over unconsciously feel ashamed when facing him, and they don't know where to start when they want to give gifts......

So, the words he had thought of couldn't speak anymore, and under Ye Ming's questioning gaze and suspicious interrogation, he fled from his room in embarrassment and embarrassment......

After coming out of Ye Ming's room, being blown by the biting cold wind outside, Ou Yangming's mind was much clearer and calmer. After wandering in the courtyard of his family for a while, he finally made up his mind: he would call Li Zhi tomorrow and return the 200,000 yuan. Now that he wants to be a new person, he must learn from Ye Ming, keep in mind his advice, and never have problems in the matter of clean government. Otherwise, you may really fall into a situation from which you will never recover.

After making this determination, he felt a little more relaxed, but soon, another problem began to bother him again: a few days ago, he took out 20,000 yuan from the 100,000 yuan given to him by Li Botang, plus the 40,000 yuan that Liu Yun had saved for himself to repay the debts, and took them out to pay off the debts of the bureau cadres. Now, Liu Yun's card only has 5,000 yuan for the New Year. If you want to return Li Botang's 200,000 yuan tomorrow, you still have 20,000 yuan short. How to make up for 20,000 yuan? You can't go back and ask for the money you gave back to your colleagues!

After frowning and thinking for a while, Ou Yangming finally made up his mind: No matter what, go and return the 180,000 yuan to Li Zhi tomorrow, and tell him: the remaining 20,000 yuan, write him an IOU, and wait for the Spring Festival to find a way to return it to him!
