Chapter 428: Turning Back
Ye Ming saw that Zhao Jiping and his assistant had already walked briskly to the front when he was talking to Wang Hai on the phone, so he lowered his voice and said: "Director Wang, Yi Xiaonan is the nephew of Director Wu Dongsheng of the General Secretary's Office, and he has been working in the provincial government office for more than four years, and you have already gone to the Provincial People's Congress at that time, so you don't know him. β
Wang Hai had long known that Secretary Lu had a very close relationship with Director Wu, but he didn't expect that the latter's nephew had worked in the provincial government office for several years, and he said unexpectedly "oh": "That's a good thing, you have met such a friend, which will be of great help to your future career, congratulations!" β
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Since you went to visit Comrade Li Weidong, why didn't you invite him to dinner in the evening?" β
"I invited, but Vice Minister Li didn't appreciate his face, and I didn't dare to force it."
"Oh? He doesn't want to come, does he? You definitely didn't reveal the information that Xiao Yi was going to attend the banquet, right? If you tell him that Xiao Yi wants to attend, and you don't want to invite him, he will come to him himself, which I know very well. β
It turned out that Li Weidong called Wang Hai not long ago and asked him if he had any friends who had a particularly good relationship with Director Wu, and if so, please introduce him to him. But Wang Hai didn't know Yi Xiaonan at that time, and there was no one in the circle of friends who had a good relationship with Director Wu, so he replied directly to him at that time.
Therefore, he knew that Li Weidong was now eager to get on the relationship with the No. 1 leader through Director Wu, and wanted to strive for a higher level before the age of sixty. If he knew that Yi Xiaonan was going to attend Ye Ming's dinner tonight, he would have rushed over to the banquet with ecstasy......
Ye Ming's intention in calling Wang Hai was to want him to reveal the news to Li Weidong, so he smiled and said: "Director Wang, Minister Li's attitude towards me is not very friendly, and I am embarrassed to bring out the signboard of 'Director Wu's nephew' to invite him, right?" If you feel that you can ask him out after revealing this news, please give him a call! You can tell him: Yi Xiaonan and I are like brothers, this time Xiao Yi came to the capital to attend his aunt's 50th birthday banquet, and I will go with him to Director Wu's house tomorrow to celebrate his birthday. β
Wang Hai happily agreed, and immediately dialed Li Weidong's office.
After the phone was connected, Wang Hai chatted with Li Weidong for a few words, asked Ye Ming why he went to see him, and then said: "Lao Li, just now Ye Ming invited you to have dinner together at night, did you refuse him?" β
Li Weidong said in a disdainful tone: "He is a milky little doll, although he climbed to the position of secretary of the county party committee with the power of some people, but in my eyes he is a hairy child who doesn't know anything, why should I give him face to go to his banquet?" Besides, you know the contradiction between me and Lu Zhiyao, he caused me to stumble and stumble all my life, and I am almost sixty years old and still nesting in the position of deputy minister, I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life.
"You should know very well: that hairy child surnamed Ye is Lu Zhiyao's cronies, and there may be some unspeakable secret relationship between the two people. He came to Beijing to find me this time, obviously instructed by Lu Zhiyao, and wanted him to come forward in the name of laying the foundation of Beishan Science and Technology Industrial Park, invite me to Tianjiang and Beishan, and want to reconcile the contradiction between me and Lu Zhiyao, this kind of idea is too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, do you think I will be in this position for him? β
Wang Hai couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard him bluntly say that there was an "unspeakable secret relationship" between Secretary Lu and Ye Ming, and said very seriously: "Lao Li, you have to speak a little measured, don't be blind with your temperament." I know something about the historical feud between you and Secretary Lu, and to be fair, you were the first to be sorry for him, you have to admit this, right? I also had opinions and opinions on Secretary Lu, and even fought with him-for-tat. But then I gradually realized that Secretary Lu was very broad-minded and powerful, and his leadership art and leadership level were first-class, which made me sincerely admire, so now I have no prejudice against him, but rather respect and admire him. I advise you to be open-minded and not let the grudges of the past dominate your emotions. β
Li Weidong snorted and said: "Lao Wang, I think the older you get, the more you have no fighting spirit and no backbone, but from this point, you can also see Lu Zhiyao's cunning and tricks to pull people up. You hated him like me at the beginning, why are you now carrying a sedan chair for him and blowing the horn and singing praises? I'm a little confused. β
Wang Hai knew that he had such a stubborn temper, and he didn't care about his cynicism, and he didn't want to explain the argument to him, so he changed the topic and said: "Lao Li, I advise you to accept Xiao Ye's invitation and go to dinner with us, otherwise you will regret Mo Die." β
Li Weidong heard what he said, and asked in surprise: "What do I regret?" If you don't accept that kid's invitation, will you still be retaliated against by him? Although Lu Zhiyao is powerful now, it is impossible for him to retaliate against me for refusing an invitation to dinner from his cronies! β
"Of course not, but if I tell you that Xiao Ye invited a guest to eat with tonight, you will regret that you refused his invitation."
"What guest? Lao Wang, don't sell it, okay? β
"Just now Xiao Ye told me: He invited Director Liu and Deputy Director Wei Lin of the CCTV News Department tonight, two CCTV reporters, and Yi Xiaonan, the nephew of Director Wu of the General Secretary's Officeββ"
"What? He invited Yi Xiaonan to dinner together? True or fake? β
Li Weidong had wanted to invite Yi Xiaonan to dinner several times but he politely refused, so he was very sensitive to this name, and when he heard that Ye Ming's invitation was among the people, he jumped up from the seat in surprise, and hurriedly interrupted Wang Hai's words and asked, "What is the relationship between him and Yi Xiaonan?" Why did you come to the capital to invite him to dinner? β
Wang Hai replied: "Listening to Xiao Ye, he and Yi Xiaonan are very close friends, just like brothers with different surnames. Xiao Yi came to the capital this time to celebrate his aunt's fiftieth birthday, and he would also take Xiao Ye to Director Wu's house for dinner and celebrate Mrs. Wu's birthday. β
Li Weidong's face was flushed with excitement at this time, and he asked in an urgent tone: "In this way, Xiao Ye and Director Wu's family must be very familiar, right?" β
"I guess that's the case. With Director Wu's status, it is very difficult for ordinary officials, especially department-level cadres like Ye Ming, to enter his house, let alone attend his lover's birthday party. From this, it can be judged that Director Wu's family has known Ye Ming for a long time, and the relationship between them should be relatively close. β
Li Weidong let out an "ah", sat back on the chair, gasped for breath in his mouth, and meditated for a while before asking Wang Hai: "Lao Wang, you said that I will call Xiao Ye now and promise to attend his banquet in the evening, is it still appropriate?" β
Wang Hai hurriedly said, "It's okay. Xiao Ye knows that person very well, and his strength is also very large, don't count your attitude just now, you can call him immediately! β
