Chapter 273: A Guiding Light
The reason why Ye Ming is not sure about solving the problem of teachers' salaries is very simple: if this matter is to be resolved satisfactorily, he can only go to his father-in-law Xia Bicheng and ask him to come forward to say hello to Feng Jialiang, the director of the budget department, and issue the financial subsidy in Beishan as soon as possible, and solve the urgent need first!
However, because Xia Bicheng and his wife have always looked down on Ye Ming in the past, they even publicly expressed their opposition to him dating Xia Chuchu. So he always felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were snobs and had a deep grudge against them.
Therefore, after Xia Bicheng was transferred to the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, he only visited him once, and rarely went to his house to play, unless Xia Chuchu came back, he had to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law with her once, and the rest of the time the two basically had no contact, and the relationship has been relatively cold.
Moreover, although Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu have been married for more than two years, they are basically in a state of "hidden marriage": because Xia Chuchu is too famous and has too many fans, Secretary Lu is worried that after the news of her marriage is leaked out, there will be many gossip reporters to dig up Ye Ming's privacy, in that case, it is very likely that he will dig out his previous negative news, such as his personal relationship with Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi, the relationship with Gong Zhichao, the leader of the new cold underworld, and the protection of Jinqiao Group, etc. No matter which of these questions is hyped up, it is enough to ruin Ye Ming's future.
What worries Secretary Lu especially is: those pervasive gossip reporters, if they continue to dig deep along Ye Ming's growth trajectory, maybe one day they will dig out the real relationship between him and himself, in that case, it will not only be explosive entertainment gossip news, but a political scandal that is enough to destroy him, the secretary of the provincial party committee!
Therefore, when Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu got married, Secretary Lu discussed with Li Runji and asked him to tell Xia Bicheng and Xia Chuchu in the name of Ye Ming's godfather: In order not to affect Chu Chu's perfect image in the minds of fans, and to prevent those gossip reporters from digging Ye Ming's privacy, it is best to maintain a "hidden marriage" status within the first two years of their marriage, not to announce it to the public for the time being, and try to control the scope of knowledge.
Xia Bicheng knew that this must be Secretary Lu's meaning, so he happily agreed, when his daughter got married, he only told a few of his closest friends and confidants to the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, and he also told these people that they were not allowed to disclose the news to anyone. After arriving at the Provincial Department of Finance, he deliberately avoided talking about his daughter's personal problems, so those subordinates in the Department of Finance only knew that he had a very good star daughter, but they didn't know that Ye Ming was his son-in-law.
For more than two years, the reason why Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu have not had children is also for this reason: because once Xia Chuchu has a child, it will inevitably expose the fact that she is married, so they have been using contraceptive measures......
Because of this relatively awkward relationship, Ye Ming was not more willing to ask Xia Bicheng for help, nor did he want to expose his relationship with his son-in-law in front of his subordinates.
At the same time, Ye Ming still had a big question in his heart: Xia Bicheng, as the director of the department, must know about the special poverty alleviation funds allocated to Beishan by the Provincial Department of Finance. Moreover, when this money will be released and whether it can be released in advance, Feng Jialiang, director of the budget department, must not make decisions without authorization, and must be allowed or agreed by Xia Bicheng. The last time Feng Jialiang promised Zhang Jiankun that he could release this amount in advance, it must have been approved by Xia Bicheng; And this time, Feng Jialiang suddenly changed his hexagram and did not allocate this amount in advance, and according to common sense, he had to report to Xia Bicheng.
So the question is: Xia Bicheng knew that he was now the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, why didn't he urge Feng Jialiang to release the 50 million poverty alleviation funds as soon as possible? Why do you want to agree with his bad idea of "stuck neck"? Could it be that because he has always been lukewarm to his father-in-law, he deliberately wants to embarrass himself?
After thinking about it, Ye Ming couldn't find a reasonable explanation for Xia Bicheng's approach, so he instructed Jiang Dunyi to drive the car into a service area and stop, and after getting out of the car and going to the toilet, he found a secluded place and dialed the mobile phone of Xu Fei, chief economist of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau.
The reason why Ye Ming wanted to find Xu Fei was because he had worked under Xia Bicheng for many years, and he knew his personality and style very well, and he had already become a good brother who talked about everything, and he could be regarded as a senior staff member and guiding light in his career. If you encounter difficult problems at work or in dealing with people, if you consult him, most of them can get a satisfactory answer......
After the phone was connected, the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting very affectionately, and Ye Ming went straight to the point, telling him in detail the causes and consequences of the 50 million poverty alleviation funds that the Provincial Department of Finance had stuck in Beishan County, and asked him why Xia Bicheng would agree to Feng Jialiang to block the money? Why don't you want to find a way to help yourself solve your urgent needs?
Xu Fei muttered on the phone for a while, and then said carefully: "Brother, I think you have misunderstood your father-in-law a little. In my opinion, Director Xia is doing this for the sake of you, the son-in-law who is the secretary of the county party committee, and wants to win the hearts of the people and establish authority for you, but he is doing it more secretly. ”
Ye Ming asked in surprise: "How can this win people's hearts and establish authority for me?" Brother Xu, I really can't react, please analyze it for me. ”
"Here's my guess: Director Feng Jialiang of the Budget Department wanted to stab the neck of your Beishan County Party Committee and County Government and avenge his cousin, but he didn't know that you were the son-in-law of Director Xia, so according to his plan, he found an excuse to postpone the allocation to your Beishan County, and cut off the additional 20 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds for you, and then report to Director Xia for approval.
"Director Xia may have been thinking of a way to help you for a long time, Feng Jialiang just provided him with an opportunity: first borrow Feng Jialiang's hand to give you a big problem for the Beishan County Party Committee and County Government. Then, you will definitely find a way to go to the Provincial Finance Department to find him to solve this problem. When the time comes, as long as he tells Feng Jialiang, the money from your Beishan will be released immediately, and the additional 20 million yuan will also be allocated to you in full.
"Once this big problem is solved, your colleagues in the county party committee and county government will be impressed by you, and feel that your new secretary has ideas, methods, and abilities, which is very beneficial to your authority; At the same time, those teachers and public officials who have received back salaries will also be grateful to you, the secretary of the county party committee, and you can quickly improve your good reputation among the masses. ”
Although Ye Ming felt that Xu Fei's analysis was a little reasonable, he still didn't believe that Xia Bicheng would think about himself like this, so he just said "oh" in disbelief, and then chatted with him about a few other topics, and hung up the phone.
When the car was about to enter Beishan County, Ye Ming received a call from Xu Jirong again, telling him: Now a large number of teachers have poured into the compound of the county party committee and county government, surrounding Xu Tailai, who is about to go to work, on the entrance hall of the office building, and some teachers have lost control of their emotions and began to insult and push Xu Tailai. If the police force is not mobilized to maintain order, Xu Tailai is likely to be beaten!
