After hanging up the phone from his father, Ye Ming frowned and sat on the office chair. He raised his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of a person: Wang Hai!
He knew very well: Wang Hai was originally Li Botang's backer and supporter in the province. When Li Botang fought against him, he relied on Wang Hai, Zhou Jiqing and Xie Hongda. Although they were defeated miserably in the struggle, Wang Hai is still in the province.
As deputy director of the National People's Congress, Li Zhi should still be in awe of him. It might be more effective if Wang Hai steps in to suppress Li Zhi and prevents him from joining Ding Tiansheng's group.
Thinking of this, the gloom on Ye Ming's face cleared away, he straightened up, grabbed the receiver of the red confidential phone, and dialed Wang Hai's mobile phone number.
After the call was connected, Ye Ming exchanged a few words with Wang Hai and then asked: "Director Wang, has Li Botang's son Li Zhi come to see you recently?"
"He called me once before the Spring Festival last year, but I hung up the phone after I recognized his voice. After the Spring Festival, he came to my house again to pay New Year greetings, but I also turned him away. I am very fond of this playboy.
Disgusted, it turns out he told his father: Li Zhi doesn’t look like him at all
He was born and raised by you - you are hard-working and thrifty, he is arrogant and extravagant; you are rigid and serious, he is hip-hop and dissolute; you are outstanding in ability, but he has no merit; you have a strong character, but he is cowardly. At that time, I also asserted: Their Li family
You will definitely be defeated by this playboy."
Ye Ming thought for a moment and decided to tell him the truth: "Director Wang, I suspect that Li Zhi is now being manipulated by some people with ulterior motives, and wants to use his past personal grudges with me to bring me down and make me look bad. However, he
Now I am also facing a lot of difficulties, mainly Xinleng Steel Plant
He was ordered to shut down by the environmental protection inspection team, which was equivalent to destroying his family's job. In order to save the Xinleng Steel Factory, he asked someone to send a message to me, asking me to find a way to save his factory, and said
If I do this, all the past grudges between him and me will be wiped out.
"I thought about it carefully. Although I have a deep grudge against Li Botang and Li Zhi and his son, I can honestly say that Li Botang is not a heinous and evil person. He just has an extreme personality and will retaliate, and he tends to go to extremes. What he does is
The crime committed is also tax evasion, which is different from other criminal offenders. So my idea is: if Xinleng Steel Plant can meet environmental protection requirements through rectification, I still want to protect it."
Wang Hai was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said: "Xiaoye, I'm very pleased that you can comment on Li Botang like that. Frankly speaking, the reason why I wanted to protect Li Botang in the first place was not only for my own selfish interests, but also for my own selfish reasons.
I recognize Li Botang’s character and admire him
His ability. I know the reason why you are looking for me is to do Li Zhi's work so that he will not fall into other conspiracy groups and be used as a pawn. Although I don't want to see this prodigal again, but you
Now that I’ve made this call, I’ll give it a try!”
At this point, he paused for a moment and then said: "Xiaoye, don't you want to find someone from the Environmental Protection Department? It's a coincidence that Liu Qingqiu, the current director of the Environmental Protection Department, was a deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Office ten years ago.
Chief, I was the deputy secretary-general at that time, and he was in charge of my office
cadres. Later he appointed the director of the department and the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Department, all of whom were nominated and recommended by me, so he respected me quite a bit. How about you come to the provincial capital tomorrow and make an appointment with Li Zhi to have dinner with Liu Qingqiu?
Why don’t you ask me about the Xinleng Steel Plant in person?”
Ye Ming happily thanked Wang Hai and made an appointment with him to meet at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Then, he called Chen Yi and asked her to call Li Zhi, asking him to rush back to Tianjiang Provincial City before four o'clock tomorrow afternoon and then contact him on the phone...
At 3:30 p.m. the next day, Ye Ming rushed to the provincial capital and booked a private room at a teahouse near the Provincial People's Congress where he often drank tea and chatted with Wang Hai. He then called Wang Hai and asked him to come to the teahouse for discussion.
When he sat in the box and waited for Wang Hai, his cell phone rang suddenly. When he answered it, it was Li Zhi calling: "Ye... Secretary Ye, where are you now?"
Obviously, Li Zhi was reluctant to address Ye Ming by his current official title at first, but then he considered that he was now asking for help from Ye Ming, so he finally called out the three words "Secretary Ye".
"I'm in a teahouse called Mingquan Teahouse near the Provincial People's Congress. Where are you?" Ye Ming's tone was light.
"I called for a Didi taxi to come over from the airport. I just got off the airport expressway. What are the two characters in the name of the teahouse? I asked the driver to drive over using the navigation system."
Ye Ming told him the word "Mingquan" and the box number, and hung up the phone before he could say anything else.
While waiting for Wang Hai and Li Zhi, Ye Ming thought carefully and decided to call Guo Guangwei and Chang Ying and ask them to have dinner together if they were free.
Ye Ming knew very well: Although Li Zhi was relatively arrogant in Xinlang County, he had actually not seen much of the world, especially in the officialdom. Although he knew Wang Hai, it was estimated that Wang Hai would not pay attention to him at that time.
.As Chen Yi said, he is very interested in
The official is in awe. If I invite the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Director of the Environmental Protection Department to have a meal together today, it will probably have a deterrent effect on him and make him think twice when he is instigated by Ding Tiansheng and others in the future.
Be scrupulous, think twice before acting.
At the same time, if Guo Guangwei and Chang Ying can be invited, Liu Qingqiu, director of the Environmental Protection Department, may also buy some face. With Wang Hai's factor, the chance of saving the Xinleng Steel Plant will be greater...
So, he called Wang Hai's mobile phone again and asked in a consultative tone: "Director Wang, Secretary Guo Guangwei and Minister Chang Ying both called me two days ago and said that if I come to the provincial capital, we must stay together.
Let’s have a meal. How about I invite the two of them over tonight? Of course, if you find it inconvenient, forget it.”
The reason why Ye Ming made this call was because he was worried that if he invited Guo Guangwei and Chang Ying over on his own initiative, Wang Hai would feel unhappy. He thought that he was inviting Guo Guangwei and Chang Ying over to help persuade Liu Qingqiu, so he called in advance.
Call him for instructions to avoid misunderstanding.
Wang Hai hurriedly said: "Okay, it just so happens that Comrade Guang Wei and Comrade Chang Ying and I haven't gotten together for a long time. It would be best to have a meal and chat together tonight."
So, Ye Ming called Guo Guangwei and Chang Ying respectively and asked them to get together in the evening, and both of them happily agreed.
At around 4:15, Wang Hai first came to the box, chatted with Ye Ming affectionately, and then asked the waiter to make tea. Before he finished the cup of tea, Li Zhi stood up under the guidance of a waiter.
The door of the box.
When he saw Wang Hai sitting on the sofa side by side with Ye Ming, chatting animatedly, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, with a ghostly expression of surprise on his face...
