Li Ji's heart thumped, and the roots of his ears were hot.

He took out the mango and put it on the table; Then he grabbed the gift box and poured out all the money inside.

A pile, a pile of ......

The new and shiny renminbi emitted a metallic sound, clanging.

Li Ji counted.

100 sheets, 100 yuan each.

A pile is 10,000 yuan.

Ten hundred, 100,000 yuan.

Inside, the lights are bright; Outside the window, the sound of rain is dashing.

On the table, ten stacks of renminbi were neatly stacked together, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

Li Ji stared, his expression hesitant.

After a while, he took the gift box and put the money in it again.

Li Ji took out his mobile phone, only to find that he didn't have Tao Shanming's number. He thought about it and dialed Wang Shulan's number.

The phone rang several times before it was answered: "Director Li, are you going back......?"

Wang Shulan's voice was lazy and seemed to be a little drunk.

"President Wang, I'm here, thank you Mr. Tao for me."

"It's all your own people, what's polite."

Wang Shulan laughed softly.

"President Wang, there is something to ask you to tell Mr. Tao."

"Director Li, just say what's the matter, be polite. Uh......"

Wang Shulan hiccuped.

Li Ji sniffed and his eyes sank: "President Wang, you told Mr. Tao that I have a bad stomach and can't eat such expensive fruits, so please ask Mr. Tao to call someone to take it back." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Wang Shulan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "How can you get back the things you sent out." You keep it and eat it slowly. ”

"I'm afraid I can't digest it, and I'll eat it and my stomach will spoil it." Li Ji said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, eat it with confidence," Wang Shulan said, "The fruit is absolutely safe, no one knows." If there is anything, it will be wrapped up in the eldest sister. ”

"That's not it," Li Ji coughed, "President Wang, this fruit is in my house, and I can't sleep at night." ”

"Hehe, Director Li is too timid, just get used to it."

"President Wang, I'm naturally timid, I'm afraid of the dark, I can't get used to it."

There was a cold cry of a night bird outside the window, and Li Ji's body trembled.

"Hehe, Director Li is really joking......"

"If Mr. Tao doesn't come to get it, I'll hand it over to the bank tomorrow."

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Governor Wang, are you listening?"

With a heavy gasp, Wang Shulan snorted and didn't speak.

"President Wang?!"

“......”

A beep sounded, and Wang Shulan hung up the phone.

The cursor on the phone's screen flickered and slowly dimmed.

Li Ji clenched his mobile phone, his eyebrows twisted into pimples. He stared at the box, lost in thought.

A torrential rain hit the glass with a banging sound, as if someone was banging on the window.

Li Ji picked up his phone, found the number, and hesitated.

He stood up and walked back and forth in the room. After a while, Li Ji turned around and dialed the number.

The phone went through.

Li Ji put the phone to his ear, slowed his breathing, and listened nervously.

"Hey ......"

A voice came from the other side of the phone, and Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.

"Governor Ye, you haven't slept yet, have you?" Li Ji said carefully, "I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." ”

"Oh, it's Xiao Li," Ye Xin's voice was very kind, "It's okay, I haven't slept yet, you can say it." ”

"Governor Ye," Li Ji felt his breath shortened, "Tao Shanming asked someone to send me back tonight, bringing a box of fruit ......"

"A box of fruit?"

"President Ye, is that what happened......

............

"Oh......"

After Ye Xin listened, he was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"Governor Ye?"

"That's it, Xiao Li," Ye Xin paused, "Put the things there for you first, and you come to my office tomorrow." ”

"Got it, Governor Ye."

Hanging up the phone, Li Ji's mood calmed down a little.

It was raining harder outside. The sound of a bang, like someone splashing water upstairs.

turned off the light, Li Ji lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

When I woke up, the sky was bright.

Li Ji hurriedly ate breakfast, then carried the gift box and waited at the door of the president's room.

It was almost eight o'clock when I saw Ye Xin coming out of the elevator.

"Governor Ye!" Li Ji hurriedly caught up.

Ye Xin nodded and looked at the gift box in Li Ji's hand: "Okay, let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”

The two entered the office.

Li Ji closed the door casually and put the gift box on the table.

Ye Xin sat on the boss's chair, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and looked at the gift box on the table.

"Have you counted the money?" Ye Xin asked.

"Well," Li Ji nodded, "just one hundred thousand." ”

"One hundred thousand!" Ye Xin's eyebrows jumped.

"Yes, I've counted it several times, and I can't be wrong." Li Ji looked at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin nodded, took a few deep puffs of cigarette, and his eyes still fell on the gift box.

"What are you going to do with it?"

"I asked Tao Shanming to take it back, but he hasn't come to get it yet......"

Ye Xin interrupted Li Ji: "Who knows about this?" ”

"Tao Shanming must know, and Wang Shulan," Li Ji thought for a while, "I don't know if anyone else knows." ”

Ye Xin's eyes blinked a few times: "You want to return it to him?" ”

"Yes," Li Ji nodded, "Governor Ye, what do you think?" ”

Ye Xin lowered her head, couldn't stop smoking a cigarette, and was silent.

Li Ji stared at him intently, the gift box seemed to have become a bomb, which could explode at any time.

"Have you ever thought about taking it quietly?" Ye Xin suddenly asked.

"Take it?" Li Ji's eyes widened, and his face was shocked, "How can that work?" That's a bribe. ”

"Hehe, just kidding." The corners of Ye Xin's mouth moved, and an imperceptible wry smile flashed on her face.

"Governor Ye, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Ye Xin thought for a while: "In my opinion, you might as well hand over the money to the monitoring room." ”

"Hand it over to the monitoring room?" Li Ji was stunned, "Don't send Tao Shanming back?" ”

"I just approved a loan of 30 million US dollars, if you send him back now, will there be any trouble?" Ye Xin pondered.

"So, what about when he pays back?"

"Hmm,...... Tao Shanming is not an ordinary person......" Ye Xin nodded, thoughtful.

"Then how do I tell someone in the monitoring room?" Li Ji was a little embarrassed.

"You just say,...... He said he didn't know who sent it. Ye Xin tapped his fingers on the table, "Let's just say that someone sent it by courier with the fruit, anonymous ......."

"W-is this going to work?" Li Jiyi frowned.

"This money is to be put in the supervision room for the time being, and when Haitianda Company repays the loan, we will see how to deal with it better," Ye Xin thought for a while, "Don't forget, Tao Shanming is the nephew of President Tao." ”

"President Ye, this is stolen money!" Li Ji was a little anxious.

"Xiao Li, there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense." Ye Xin's face straightened, "Tao Shanming said that he would send you fruit, but he didn't say that he was sending money." ”

"Governor Ye, this ......"

"What if he says you're asking for a bribe?"

"He, how can he talk nonsense?"

Li Jisheng's face flushed.

To be honest, he didn't really think about it.

That's what President Ye said.

If someone bites back, it is 10,000 mouths, and it is difficult to tell. What's more, a person like Tao Shanming may be able to do anything.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and they can't be prevented.

Li Ji sighed for a while.

"Okay, Governor Ye," Li Ji picked up the gift box, "I'll send it to the monitoring room." ”

Watching Li Ji walk out, Ye Xin didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He opened the drawer, looked at a few "Chinese cigarettes" and a few bank cards inside, and sighed; "Alas, there are some things that are hard to stop once they are opened."

Looking at the two small bright national flags on the desk, Ye Xin couldn't help but regret it.

"Governor Ye......"

With the sound of footsteps, Li Ji walked back with the gift box.

"Xiao Li, what's going on?" Ye Xinyi frowned.

"The people in the supervision room said that Director Sun went out to study," Li Ji put the gift box on the sofa, "and everyone else didn't dare to accept it, saying that the money was too much." ”

"Oh, I remember," Ye Xin patted his head, "the city organized an inspection group to go to the south to learn experience, and I asked Director Sun to go." ”

"So, what about the money?" Li Ji pointed.

Ye Xin thought for a while: "Why don't you ,...... Xiao Li, this money, let you go first. ”

"Governor Ye, this is not appropriate." Li Ji hurriedly shook his head.

"What's wrong with that?" Ye Xin smiled, "The money was collected by you, so it will be placed with you for the time being." Wait for Director Sun to come back, and then hand it over to him. ”

"Governor Ye, I can't confiscate it......" Li Ji hurriedly waved his hand.

"Ahem! ...... It's wrong, it's wrong," Ye Xin coughed, "It was sent by someone, not by you." ”

"President Ye, when will Director Sun come back?"

Ye Xin scratched her hair: "This is not certain, it will take at least half a month." ”

"Governor Ye, this ......"

"Afraid of what?" Ye Xin patted the table lightly, "With me, the president of the bank, testifying to you, are you still not at ease?" ”

"Not really, it's just ......."

"Just what? Hehe. Ye Xin laughed, "It's okay, you just keep it." ”

"Well, well......"

Li Ji looked at Ye Xin's expression and swallowed back the words behind.

"Xiao Li, don't worry," Ye Xin rested his elbow on the table and smiled affectionately, "With me, it will be fine." ”

Li Ji was still inexplicably unsteady in his heart, but he couldn't say anything more.

He was just about to leave, but he heard Ye Xin say again: "Xiao Li, you can make an appointment for me, see when Chairman Wan Lao is convenient, I will go to visit." ”

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Li Ji agreed, picked up the gift box, and walked out with a sad brow.

Back in the office, he put the gift box on the table and walked around the room.

Finally, he walked around the corner and opened the small safe. I cleaned up the contents and stuffed the gift box inside.

Locking the safe and standing up, Li Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the fortune tree next to him, Li Ji couldn't help but smile. With these 100,000 yuan here, this fortune tree will grow even more prosperous.

Walking back, sitting in a chair, I couldn't help but look back at the little safe. I can't say why, Li Ji always feels that there is a mine hidden in it......

It rained all day, sometimes big and sometimes small, like a child who cried and cried and refused to stop.

At the end of the afternoon, the rain stopped.

As soon as it was time, Li Ji left the office.

He wants to go to Liao Ying.
