Chapter 616 Favor Gifts
At this time, Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua, who were in the living room, had been listening to the whispers of Xia Chuchu and Ye Ming in the bedroom. However, because the bedroom door was closed, they could not hear the conversation clearly and could only hear it occasionally. Xia Chuchu's amplified voice sounded like she was scolding Ye Ming for "acting stupid".
Soon, Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua discovered that suddenly there was no sound of Chu Chu and Ye Ming talking in the bedroom, but there were some more ambiguous noises, which made them a little embarrassed. Look at me, look at me. You have guessed what the two people inside are doing...
Seeing that Xia Bicheng was still listening to what was going on inside, Zeng Yanhua suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him into the study room. He smiled and whispered in a low voice: "You are an old and dishonest person. Two young people are making out inside. Prick up your ears and listen to the wall. Hurry up and hide in the study, stay out of the way and give them some space."
Xia Bicheng smiled embarrassingly, followed her to the study room, and closed the study door.
"Lao Xia, tomorrow morning I will go find an old man who understands the mathematics of yin and yang to show Chu Chu and Xiaoye an auspicious day and arrange an engagement ceremony for them as soon as possible. This is the first big happy event in Chu Chu's life. We must do it. Let’s make it a grand event for them. We will draw up the guest list tonight and send out invitations one by one.”
Xia Bicheng shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Yanhua, we can't send out invitations, nor can we make grand arrangements. Now the higher-ups are very strict about officials using weddings and weddings to hold banquets and make money. Leaders like me are in charge of this. When a child has a happy event, he must report it to his superiors and the Discipline Inspection Commission in advance, and must list the list of guests and the size of the banquet in detail. This is too troublesome, and it is easy for others to seize the opportunity."
"Then what should I do? My Chu Chu's engagement must be held quietly. Wouldn't that be too unfair to her? I don't care so much. As long as you don't invite your subordinates to the banquet, other relatives and friends will be fine." , so what if we invite them? This is a normal exchange of favors. When others hold a wedding, we also have to drink wedding wine and follow the ceremony. Why can't we treat those who owe us a favor when there is a wedding in my family? It’s true that people who like people come to drink.”
Xia Bicheng smiled bitterly and said a little helplessly: "Who calls me a leading cadre? I also know that we hold happy events and have friends and family come to drink. This is a normal human relationship. However, this is the discipline of the superiors. I It cannot be violated, but I, like you, do not want our Chu Chu to be wronged. My idea is: this engagement banquet will not be hosted by our Xia family, but in the name of Ye Ming, the best in the provincial capital. We did not send any invitations to the hotel, and Ye Ming collected the gifts from all guests. In this case, because Ye Ming is from Xinlang County, although he is also a civil servant, now he is hosting a banquet in the provincial capital. Far away from his scope of authority, no one can catch him, and we are just the woman's parents. All wedding banquets are organized by Ye Ming. No matter how lively and extravagant it is, it is still the man's business. With me, the local tax director It’s irrelevant, what do you think of this idea,”
Zeng Yanhua tilted his head and thought for a moment, and felt that this seemed to be a bit of a cover-up. In fact, if his superiors wanted to investigate seriously, Xia Bicheng still could not escape the suspicion of "taking advantage of weddings and funerals to make a big deal", but other than that, , there seemed to be no other way, so he nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you. I understand what you mean: This wedding banquet is nominally hosted by Xiaoye, but in fact it's us who are organizing it, right? It’s just that in this way, we can’t take back many of our favors. Think about it: you and I have been working for so many years, how much wine have we drank at work, how much gifts have we paid, not to mention two or three hundred thousand, over the years. It must be possible. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get back the principal and interest of these favors and gifts owed to me. That's good. Now invitations can't be sent out, and neither can you and my colleagues. Our gifts are considered as invitations. It’s gone,”
Xia Bicheng saw the pain on her face and kept sighing, then he smiled and said: "Yanhua, don't worry about this. The reason why I want to organize this engagement banquet in Xiaoye's name is to take back our favor gift. You Think about it: My ChuChu is a TV star. She is now engaged to a little-known civil servant. What a sensational news this must be. I believe that ChuChu will announce her engagement on their TV station in just two days. , guaranteed to immediately become the first entertainment news on all networks and other news media. In that case, even if we don’t send out invitations, you and my colleagues will know about my family’s Chu Chu’s engagement, right?
"In this way, even if we don't send invitations, you and your colleagues from my unit will definitely find the hotel where the wedding banquet is held to have a wedding banquet. No matter how much the gift money is, Ye Ming can accept it. After all, it is held in his name. Even if the Discipline Inspection Commission wants to investigate her banquet, it won’t be found on me. What’s more, with Chu Chu’s reputation, even if the engagement banquet is more luxurious and extravagant, it will still be in line with her reputation. No one will come out to question or It’s to report me,”
Zeng Yanhua heard what he said so eloquently and felt that this was the best way, so she nodded and agreed to do what he wanted.
After discussing the wedding banquet, Zeng Yanhua went out to clear the dishes and wipe the tables and chairs. Xia Bicheng pondered for a moment in the study, and suddenly remembered something, so he picked up the phone and called Xu, director of the K City Local Taxation Bureau. Flying mobile phone.
"Xiao Xu, I am Xia Bicheng. There is such a thing: last time the Provincial Bureau Supervision Office gave your municipal bureau a task, asking you to go to Xinleng County Bureau to investigate the style of Ye Ming and Chen Yi, and will investigate The results were reported to the provincial bureau. But now, as far as I know, the so-called affair between Ye Ming and Chen Yi is groundless. It is a false accusation and frame-up by some people with ulterior motives. Therefore, there is no need for you to send any investigation team to investigate this matter. Something happened.
"In addition, I would like to draw your attention: the Zhenxing Steel Plant in Xinlang County may be suspected of major tax evasion and defrauding the state of tax exemptions. From now on, your city bureau can arrange reliable inspectors to secretly investigate this matter. Once the time is right, we will make a decisive decision and use reliable evidence to lift the lid of the Zhenxing Steel Plant and punish the relevant personnel."
