When Ye Ming followed Zhang Yan out of the elevator and walked towards the door of Room 702, Zhang Yan turned to look at the bag he was holding, suddenly smiled and asked in a low voice: "What is in this bag?
It looks bulging, is it for my sister-in-law? Is it a local specialty from your Xinleng area?"
Ye Ming smiled and whispered: "This is not a souvenir. It contains a sable fur coat and six bottles of perfume, the same kind I gave you last time. Do you think Director Lu will like these two gifts?
,"
Zhang Yan nodded and said with admiration: "Your leadership has done a very detailed job. It's very good. These two gifts are actually very suitable for my sister-in-law. But, can you give them out tonight?"
That’s a big question,”
At the door of Room 702, Zhang Yan signaled Ye Ming to take a step back and keep a little distance from herself, then knocked on the door twice and shouted: "Sister-in-law, open the door."
Soon, the security door opened. Lu Nianzi appeared at the door wearing a homely cotton-padded jacket. He looked behind Zhang Yan and saw Ye Ming holding a bag and standing one meter behind Zhang Yan with a smile.
, there was a hint of displeasure on her face, but this expression only disappeared briefly. Her face returned to that calm state, and she said to Zhang Yan and Ye Ming: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoye, you guys come in first."
Sit down,"
Ye Ming followed Zhang Yan closely, changed his shoes at the door, turned around the wine cabinet at the door, looked into the living room, and saw three men sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table.
Seeing that Lu Nianzi had guests at home, Ye Ming quickly put the bag he was carrying under the shoe cabinet and walked inside empty-handed.
Lu Nianzi saw his action and thought that the little boy was quite sensible, so he pretended not to see the bag he put down and led him and Zhang Yan straight inside.
When Zhang Yan and Ye Ming entered, the three men beside the coffee table stood up, and two men with Tianjiang accents greeted Zhang Yan warmly.
There was another man standing facing the door. He was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. He was tall and had a long face. His facial features were somewhat similar to Zhang Yan's, but he looked very honest, calm and down-to-earth. When Ye Ming walked into the living room
, with a very sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face, he picked up a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes on the coffee table, took out one and gave it to Ye Ming, and said: "Welcome, welcome, sit down, sit down,"
Ye Ming estimated that this middle-aged man was Zhang Linjiang, Zhang Yan's brother. He quickly took a cigarette and said hello with a smile: "Hello, Director Zhang."
Zhang Linjiang looked at him in surprise, then at his sister, smiled and remained silent.
Zhang Yan was afraid that Ye Ming would be left out, so she quickly took one of his hands and introduced to her brother: "Brother, this is Director Ye of the Xinlang County Local Taxation Bureau. His name is Ye Ming, and he is also a good friend of mine. This time
He came to the capital for business and came here specially to visit you and your sister-in-law,"
Zhang Linjiang once again had a surprised expression on his face, looked at Ye Ming up and down, and said with a smile: "I dare to ask Director Ye Gui Geng, it is not easy to become the director of the Local Taxation Bureau at such a young age,"
Ye Ming knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Director Zhang, I am 25 years old. I am not the director of the county local taxation bureau, but the deputy director of the first branch of our county bureau. I heard Zhang Yan say: Director Zhang is at my age.
, you are already a deputy department-level leader, and now you are less than forty years old and you are already a department-level leader. You are the real young and promising person,"
Zhang Linjiang saw that Ye Ming was eloquent and generous, and he also saw that he had a tall and straight figure and handsome features. He was very fond of him, so he smiled friendly at him, turned around and pointed at the two people standing next to the coffee table and said to Ye Ming. Ming introduced: "Director Ye, these two are leaders of Zinan City, Tianjiang Province. You are fellow villagers. This is Secretary Lin of the Zinan Municipal Party Committee, and this is Director Hao of the Zinan City Development and Reform Commission."
Ye Ming shook hands with Secretary Lin and Director Hao one by one.
At this time, Ye Ming began to cry secretly in his heart: Today's situation is very obvious. Secretary Lin and Director Hao must have come to visit Lu Nianzi specifically for Zinan City's declaration of a resource-depleted city. He chose this. When the time came, I happened to crash with them. Zhang Linjiang was from Zinan City, and Lu Nianzi could be said to be the daughter-in-law of Zinan City. If I came on this trip tonight, I probably wouldn’t even have a chance to ask for help. It seemed that Another useless effort...
At this time, Lu Nianzi made a cup of tea for each of Zhang Yan and Ye Ming, and then said to Zhang Yan: "Xiao Yan, take Xiao Ye to the study to sit down. There is a computer there. Let Xiao Ye play with it. Or you can just read a book. Your brother and I have to discuss something with Secretary Lin and the others, so I won’t accompany you. I’m sorry,”
When Zhang Yan heard this, she had a look of displeasure on her face, but in front of Secretary Lin, Director Hao and the others, she couldn't argue with her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to angrily take one of Ye Ming's hands. , said: "Let's go to the study and don't disturb them when they talk about national affairs."
Ye Ming also felt a little embarrassed standing in the living room, so he had to follow Zhang Yan to the study.
This study room should have belonged to Secretary Lu. It is relatively spacious. There are two rows of mahogany bookcases inside. Each floor is densely filled with all kinds of books, including wire-bound books, hardcover books, paperback books, and various literary classics. In addition, there is a special bookcase to store some ancient classics, such as "Four Books and Five Classics", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Historical Records", "Appreciation of Tang and Song Poems", "Warring States Period" "Ce", "Wen Xin Diao Long", "Yuan Zaju", etc. It can be seen that Secretary Lu is interested in various aspects such as literature, history and philosophy, and has a wide range of interests.
After browsing Secretary Lu's collection of books, Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Secretary Lu is so knowledgeable. It turns out that he has read so many books of different types and majors."
Zhang Yan heard his sigh, looked at him in surprise, and asked: "Do you know Uncle Lu? Have you ever talked to him?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I have talked with Secretary Lu many times. He even stayed at my house for one night. Just before coming to the capital, I went to his office to chat with him for an hour. I am so impressed by my knowledge, haha,"
Zhang Yan suddenly clapped her hands and shouted in a fuss: "Why are you like this? Since you have a good relationship with Uncle Lu, you should have spoken out earlier. Let me tell you: my sister-in-law is very filial and treats her well." My father admires me very much. No matter what happens, as long as Uncle Lu says something, she will never go against her in the slightest. If you had said earlier that you had a good relationship with Uncle Lu, she wouldn’t be so cold to you."
