At this point, Li Botang looked at Ouyang Ming and analyzed further: "Furthermore, as long as you convince Xiaoye to accept the hard-earned money, not only will you be safe, but we will also feel at ease, and we don't have to worry about the day when the procuratorate will come." come to pursue our bribery crime. Why, you should know very well: behind Xiaoye, there is Li Runji, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, supporting him. Xiaoye is Secretary Li’s tacit godson and once saved his life. Therefore, in the issue of building a clean government, As long as Xiaoye doesn't cause any major corruption and bribery involving tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and doesn't alert the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, no one dares to touch him within the scope of Tianjiang Province. Besides, the interests of our steel plant, in fact, It is connected with you: If you are investigated and punished, the income tax reduction and exemption in our factory will definitely be re-investigated, and maybe I will also be held accountable for bribery and defrauding the state of taxes. So, we are prosperous. It’s a relationship where both sides suffer, Xiao Ou, you don’t have to worry about what will happen to me,”
When Ouyang Ming heard these "confidential" words, the vigilance in his mind finally disappeared completely. He nodded and said, "Uncle Li, let me go and give it a try. Director Ye is in the capital now and will probably not be back until a week later." ,When the time comes, I will go and tell him in person,"
Li Botang happily patted Ouyang Ming on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Ou, my uncle is very happy with your attitude. Let's do this. The Spring Festival is coming soon. Our tax exemption information will be submitted immediately after the Spring Festival. Tomorrow Please go to my office. I have some small gifts for the holidays. Please go get them and bring one to Xiaoye by the way."
The next day, Ouyang Ming followed Li Botang's instructions and came to his chairman's office in Zhenxing Steel Plant. After chatting with him for a few words, Li Botang called the company's cashier and asked her to come to his office. and bring things over.
Soon, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, carrying a lady's bag, opened the door and came in.
Li Botang pointed at Ouyang Ming and said to the middle-aged woman: "Xiao Wang, this is Deputy Director Ouyang Ming of the Local Taxation Bureau. He has just taken over the work of the key enterprise group. You may not have interacted with him yet. I want to go to the toilet first. You take care of things,"
Ouyang Ming knew the tax accountant of Zhenxing Steel Plant, but he was a little unfamiliar with the cashier named Wang. When he saw Li Botang, he turned around and got into the rest room in the office, closed the door, and said he was going to the toilet. , there was a slight feeling of uneasiness in my heart, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
The cashier surnamed Wang smiled slightly and took out two bundles of hundred-dollar bills that he had just taken out from the bank from the big satchel. Each bundle was ten bundles, which should be one hundred thousand yuan.
Then, she put the banknotes on the table and said to Ouyang Ming: "Director Ou, here is two hundred thousand yuan. Please click it. If there is nothing else, I will go out first."
Ouyang Ming stared at the two thick bundles of banknotes on the table, and was a little confused in his mind: How could Li Botang give gifts in this way? It was too conspicuous. Since they wanted to send money, their company went directly to the bank to handle the two bundles of banknotes. A card is not much simpler.
Not long after the cashier left, Li Botang wiped his wet palms with a tissue, smiled apologetically, and said: "Xiao Ou, I was a little anxious just now. I'm sorry, you must be wondering why I gave you cash directly. Well, in fact, this is also for your sake: it is indeed much simpler to go to the bank to apply for a card and then give the card to you. However, if I give you the bank card, if something happens in the future, those who investigate this matter People, just go to the bank and check these two cards to make sure that you have transferred or withdrawn the money in the cards. The evidence is so ironclad that you can't tell the difference even if you want to. But this cash is different. You can tell the difference today. Take it, if someone comes to investigate, you deny that you didn't take the money, and no one can do anything, because they have no evidence, right? As for that Xiao Wang just now, don't worry, she is also a shareholder of the company, and this She has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she will never go out and talk about it."
Although Ouyang Ming still had some doubts in his heart, he heard Li Botang speak so firmly and his explanation was reasonable, so he said nothing more and took the 200,000 yuan back in a brown briefcase Li Botang prepared for him...
And tonight, Ouyang Ming came to Ye Ming. In addition to wanting to return Chen Mengqi's 70,000 yuan in cash, his main purpose was to give the 100,000 yuan that Li Botang gave him to Ye Ming, and also to do something with Ye Ming's thoughts. At work, let him give the green light to the tax exemption materials for revitalizing the steel plant after the Spring Festival, sign it, and don't conduct any tax exemption investigation.
However, for some reason, when he saw Ye Ming, he lost the courage to give him money, especially when Ye Ming asked him warily: Where did he get the 70,000 yuan? There was a moment of panic, and he almost didn't dare to meet Ye Ming's eyes.
Only then did he realize that Ye Ming naturally had an awe-inspiring righteousness in him. It was this righteousness that enabled him to face all temptations calmly, to consciously resist all evil tendencies, and to defeat those who wanted to corrupt others. He, the person who attracted him, unconsciously felt ashamed when facing him, and even if he wanted to offer a gift, he didn't know where to start...
As a result, he could no longer say the words he had planned, and under Ye Ming's questioning eyes and suspicious questioning, he escaped from his room in embarrassment and embarrassment...
After coming out of Ye Ming's room, he was blown by the biting cold wind outside. Ouyang Ming felt much clearer and calmer. After wandering in the family yard for a while, he finally made up his mind: he would call tomorrow. To Li Zhi, I must return the two hundred thousand yuan. Since I want to start a new life now, I must learn from Ye Ming and keep his advice in mind. I must not make any problems in the matter of integrity, otherwise, I will You may really fall into a situation of no return.
After making this determination, he felt a little relieved, but soon another problem began to bother him: a few days ago, he took out 20,000 yuan from the 100,000 yuan given to him by Li Botang, plus Liu Yun saved the 40,000 yuan for herself to pay off the debt, and used it all to pay off the debts of the bureau cadres. Now, Liu Yun only has 5,000 yuan left for the New Year in her card. If she wants to return Li Botang's 200,000 yuan tomorrow, Yuan, I am still 20,000 yuan short. How can I make up the 20,000 yuan? I can’t just ask for the money returned to my colleagues.
