Yi Xiaonan heard Ye Ming suddenly mention Li Weidong and asked a little surprised: "Brother Ming, do you also know Deputy Minister Li? His hometown is indeed from the same area as ours, in our neighboring county. However, my uncle's impression of him
It's not good, saying that although he has some ability and level, and has relatively senior qualifications, his mind and structure are relatively small, he is not a magnanimous gentleman, and he is not worthy of close friendship, so he wanted to visit my uncle several times but was rejected.
"During the Spring Festival this year, I went to the capital to pay New Year greetings to my uncle. By the way, I had a small gathering with some Xijiang fellows from the General Office of the State Council. Li Weidong was also invited to the gathering. There was a fellow from the same county as me at the party.
I accidentally mentioned my uncle, Li Weidong
He immediately looked at me with admiration, kept toasting to me at the banquet, and warmly invited me to his home. I knew that my uncle had a bad impression of him, so I declined him tactfully. But he did not give up.
The next day he called me again and asked me to have tea, but I refused again."
Having said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the box door, and listened to the movement outside. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ming: "Brother Ming, do you know why my uncle has such a negative impression of Li Weidong?"
Okay? I heard from my aunt that this matter has something to do with Secretary Lu. Li Wei
When Dong was young, he studied for a master's degree at Capital University with Secretary Lu. During this period, he caught some problems with Secretary Lu's life style and sued everywhere to bring Secretary Lu down. However, Secretary Lu's father-in-law later stepped in to suppress this.
Because of this incident, Li Weidong has never been reused.
"When my uncle first started working, he served Secretary Lu's father-in-law Gu Lao for several years. Secretary Lu helped and took care of him a lot, so he knew Secretary Lu's character, knowledge and abilities very well, and he was very grateful to Secretary Lu for helping him.
.When it was learned that Li Weidong had been trapped
After hurting Secretary Lu, my uncle had a prejudice against him. He felt that he was not upright enough, and his mind and magnanimity were not suitable for a big leader, so he was never interested in him. Although he is a relatively authentic fellow countryman, my uncle has never been interested in him.
Don’t associate with him.”
Ye Ming nodded, looked at Yi Xiaonan thoughtfully, and asked: "Li Weidong wants so desperately to curry favor with you and to build a bridge with your uncle through you. He must have a purpose and idea, right?"
?”
"That's right. I heard from several fellows in the General Office of the State Council that Li Weidong has been bumping into the officialdom for the past thirty years. He has been working in department-level positions for more than twenty years, and he has never been able to go further until five years ago.
The No. 7 head of the Central Committee, who had a good relationship with him, was about to enter the top decision-making level of the Central Committee, so he helped him rise to the top.
He was appointed deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Currently, among the seven heads at the highest decision-making level of the central government, only head No. 7 is willing to help him, but it is not the kind of relationship where he does his best to help him. To put it bluntly, Li Weidong
In the minds of the central decision-making leaders, they are the kind of embarrassing role that "the uncle does not kiss, the grandma does not love".
"He is three or four years younger than Secretary Lu. He should be about fifty-seven or eight years old now. If he does not climb to the ministerial level, he will be sixty years old in two years. He will either retire or have to go to the National People's Congress, the CPPCC or
Working as a sinecure in some other central-level societies and literary and artistic organizations, and then retiring sadly at the age of sixty-five, this is the outcome he fears most. Therefore, he is now eager to find
A person who can get in touch with the No. 1 head of the Central Committee wants to use the remaining two years to strive to be promoted to a ministerial-level substantive position. In that case, he will be about sixty-three or four years old after one term and can continue to work for another year.
Retiring at the age of sixty-eight is his most ideal career outcome. And my uncle is the person he is eager to make and rely on now."
After hearing what Yi Xiaonan said, Ye Ming's eyes showed a hint of joy and said to Yi Xiaonan: "Brother, I made an appointment with Mr. Zhao Jiping, chairman of Fuxin Technology Group, to visit Vice Minister Li Weidong tomorrow afternoon and report to him.
Check out Beishan Construction Fuxin Technology
About the industrial park. I heard from Director Xu that the day after tomorrow is your aunt’s fiftieth birthday. At that time, Secretary Lu will personally come to your uncle’s house to attend the birthday party. I want to go to visit your uncle together as your friend and give him some advice.
Can you celebrate your aunt's birthday?"
Yi Xiaonan knew that his uncle had a good impression of Ye Ming and spoke highly of him. He also knew that the relationship between Ye Ming and Secretary Lu was extraordinary. Since Secretary Lu was going to celebrate his aunt's birthday in person, if Ye Ming went with him, his uncle and aunt would definitely be very happy.
He was very happy, so he readily agreed: "Okay, let's take the nine o'clock flight tonight to go to the capital together. I will be at my uncle's house tomorrow, and you will go to the Ministry of Science and Technology to take care of things. If there is anything you need me to help with, I will do my best."
.”
Ye Ming said happily: "Okay, I'll book a flight ticket for nine o'clock tonight tonight, and let Chu Chu drive to pick us up when we get to the capital."
At about 1:40, Yi Xiaonan said goodbye to Ye Ming, hurriedly walked out of the hotel, and rushed to the provincial party committee to report to Secretary Lu. After paying the bill, Ye Ming walked out of the hotel and first made a phone call to Wang Hai, who was in a meeting in the capital.
, asked him if he is free tomorrow night? If he is free, I would like to invite him to have a meal with him in the capital. Wang Hai was very happy to say that he would finish the meeting tomorrow and return to Tianjiang the day after tomorrow. He would be free tomorrow night and we could get together.
gather.
After making an appointment with Wang Hai, Ye Ming made another call to Xia Chuchu, first telling her that he and Yi Xiaonan would take the nine o'clock flight to the capital tonight, and asked her to drive to the airport to pick him up.
Then, he smiled and said: "Chu Chu, I want to discuss two things with you: First, I just made my own decision and sold the house in the 'Ruihe Jiacheng' community in M City to Yi Xiaonan
. He is financially tight now, and he is eager to get married but does not have a new house, and my house is basically idle there, so I resold it to him and promised him not to be in a hurry to pay the purchase price - you have no objection, right?"
Xia Chuchu had met Yi Xiaonan several times and had a good impression of him. She also knew that he was the nephew of the director of the general secretary's office, and knew that Ye Ming must have deep meaning in doing this. Moreover, she had never valued money, and sometimes
Even more generous than Ye Ming, so when Ye Ming said that he had already bought the house in the provincial capital
After selling it to Yi Xiaonan, she said nonchalantly: "I completely agree. How can you have any objections? From now on, when you go to the provincial capital, you can stay at my house. My parents often complain that you rarely visit them."
, after this house is sold, you will have no excuse not to go to my house, which is a good thing!"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "The second thing, I would like to ask you to make an appointment with the leaders of your CCTV News Center and well-known reporters to have dinner together tomorrow night. I want them to help promote Beishan Fuxin Technology Industry
Park. This industrial park was built by Fuxin Technology Group. It has a large investment scale and is in line with the national industrial development policy. It is the economic focus that your CCTV needs to report on. As long as you come forward to invite it, there should be no problem."
Xia Chuchu responded readily: "Okay, I will make an appointment with Director Liu of the News Center tomorrow afternoon and ask him to arrange for two famous reporters to come over for dinner. You can discuss the interview and reporting matters in detail at the wine table."
