Ye Ming is not a bully, nor is he someone who likes to violate system regulations or stir up trouble. In fact, since he was fined 100 yuan by Hu Deqing last time, Ye Ming went to learn the internal system of the inspection room. After a while, he found that there was indeed an article "No smoking in the office" on it. Therefore, from that day on, he used his own perseverance to restrain his addiction to smoking. He basically stopped smoking in the office. Even if he wanted to smoke, he would go out and stand in the corridor. When I went to smoke, there were Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke, but they had no scruples and still smoked happily in the office.
But today, when Ye Ming came back from Secretary Li's office, based on his hunch and guess, he estimated that Hu Deqing would definitely come to his office later, and he would definitely come to him to say something, so he suddenly had a prank in his heart. I had a similar thought: I would like to try smoking in the office now to see what Hu Deqing's reaction would be when he came in, and whether he would reprimand me and fine me on the spot like last time.
Therefore, when he heard footsteps in the corridor outside, as if Hu Deqing was coming, he deliberately took out a cigarette, lit it, and puffed away leisurely...
Hu Deqing walked into the office with a smile, turning a blind eye to Ye Ming's fuming, and went straight to Ye Ming's desk, saying in a tone that was a little too affectionate: "Chief Ye, I came here today specifically to thank you. You were so warm and welcoming the night before yesterday. You were so polite that night. All the colleagues who attended your party today praised you for being generous, humble, polite, and extremely enthusiastic towards your colleagues. You are a person worthy of close friendship. Good friends and colleagues, even though I just went to sing a song that night, I was very impressed, I had a lot of fun, and I was very dedicated. Xiaotang, Xiaobi, do you feel the same way?"
As he spoke, he turned to Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke, waiting for their answers.
Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke were listening to Hu Deqing express his gratitude to Ye Ming. They felt very strange in their hearts: Hu Deqing had raised eyebrows at Ye Ming a few days ago. He didn't like it, and even complained about smoking. After scolding him, why did he become so enthusiastic and kind in the blink of an eye? Could it be that just because Ye Ming asked him to sing a song, he changed his view and attitude towards Ye Ming? This seems unlikely ah.
However, despite their doubts, they were indeed grateful to Ye Ming from the bottom of their hearts. Hu Deqing had just come in. When Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke saw that Ye Ming was still smoking, they squeezed his sweat for him and almost wanted to remind him loudly. , So, after hearing Hu Deqing ask them if they felt the same, the two of them almost replied in unison: "Yes, yes, Director Hu is right, Section Chief Ye is really too enthusiastic, too polite, and his character There is nothing to say. A few of us are still discussing and planning to invite Section Chief Ye back next time. Director Hu, please come and attend."
Hu Deqing said hurriedly: "Definitely, definitely, next time you invite Section Chief Ye, don't forget me, hahaha,"
At this time, Bi Shengke, who is usually more attentive, discovered an interesting phenomenon: when Hu Deqing came to the office today and called Ye Ming, he actually called him "Chief Ye" instead of "Ye Ming" or "Xiao Ye". In order to highlight the majesty of his leader, Hu Deqing always calls department-level and deputy department-level cadres by their first names or "little*". Today, he calls Ye Ming by his official title. This seems to be the first time for him. …
Ye Ming knew that Hu Deqing's attitude towards him would definitely change after he came out of Secretary Li's office. However, he did not expect that Hu Deqing would become so enthusiastic and abnormal. It was completely different from the impression he had left on him. Two people.
Therefore, he felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly picked up the cigarette that he had only taken a few puffs on, and wanted to throw it into the ashtray, so as not to let Hu Deqing think that he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to throw away the cigarette, Hu Deqing hurriedly shook his hands and shouted: "Chief Ye, you smoke, keep smoking, it doesn't matter. In fact, after criticizing you for smoking last time, I later After thinking about it carefully, I feel that those of you who are engaged in writing work are indeed very hard and very boring. Sometimes it is difficult to keep writing if you don't smoke. I ask you to do that, which is a bit of a blame, and there is no specific analysis of the specific situation. , I committed a bit of dogmatism, so I have just informed the Finance Department and asked them not to deduct any more fines from you. Here, I also sincerely apologize to you for what happened that day,"
After saying this, he suddenly put his hands into his clothes pockets and trouser pockets respectively, and like magic, took out three packs of "Hetianxia" cigarettes from the three bags, and threw one pack first on Ye Ming's table. Then he said to Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke: "It has been very hard for you to write the inspection work plan for the second half of the year in the past few days, especially the inspection plan to combat illegal fund-raising that will be launched soon. The writing is very good. Secretary Li sees it After that, I was very satisfied. Come, come, come. Xiaotang and Xiaobi came over. Each of them took a pack of cigarettes to smoke. This is an encouragement to you to work overtime and write materials."
Hu Deqing mainly wanted to give Ye Ming cigarettes to smoke today to make up for his "mistake" of scolding him for smoking last time. But if he gave Ye Ming a pack of cigarettes alone, he would not be able to say anything. Ming didn't necessarily want them, so he simply took three packs of cigarettes, one pack for each person in the office, which could block Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke's mouths and avoid embarrassment.
Sure enough, Tang Xueli and Bi Shengke were overjoyed when they saw that Director Hu was so polite today and actually handed out a pack of such good cigarettes to each of them. They hurriedly thanked them and took them. Then, they both looked at Ye Ming meaningfully, and their hearts were filled with excitement. Understand: they were able to get Director Hu's pack of cigarettes today purely because of Ye Ming's blessing. However, they couldn't figure out the reason even if they tried hard...
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the door of the office. One of them was Li Qingbo, the deputy director of the inspection office with a smile on his face. The other one was swarthy and serious. It was the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary's Division I, Lu Xu Lizhong, the secretary’s driver and personal secretary.
As soon as the two people stood at the door, Li Qingbo smiled and said to Hu Deqing on the opposite side: "Director Hu, Director Xu from the Secretariat is here,"
Because Hu Deqing was standing opposite Ye Ming with his back to the door, he didn't see Xu Lizhong standing at the door. It wasn't until he heard Li Qingbo's shout that he turned around. When he saw clearly that it was Xu Lizhong who had arrived, his face changed. He immediately showed an expression of surprise, hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his fat palm from a distance, smiled and shouted: "Director Xu, rare visitor, rare visitor, in my impression, Director Xu should This is my first time to come to the inspection room to inspect the work, and I am really honored."
