Ye Ming suddenly received a call from Liu Pengcheng, inviting him to dinner. He felt a little strange. Later, when he explained that he had to review today and did not want to go to dinner, he suddenly became silent again, and after a moment of silence, he continued He suddenly hung up the phone without saying hello. He felt a little strange: because Liu Pengcheng had a good relationship with me, and every time he called me, he was always very enthusiastic and polite. What happened this time? .
Before he could figure this out, Ye Ming's cell phone suddenly rang again. When he looked at the number, it was Li Zhihua, the director of the Supervision and Examination Office.
Li Zhihua said very enthusiastically on the phone: "Director Ye, are you reviewing your homework? My phone call didn't disturb you, hahaha."
Ye Ming thought to himself that you knew you would disturb my review, so why did you make a phone call? However, he joked: "Director Li, no matter what, review of homework is not a matter of a moment. It takes just as long to make a phone call and answer a phone call." Yes, but I was a little frightened when I answered the call from you, Director Li. I was afraid that you were looking for me to go to the supervision room for a talk on integrity or a talk of admonishment, which would be a bit bad, hahaha ,"
Because Li Zhihua used to have a good relationship with Li Li and Chen Weiping, he was also the one who advocated severely punishing Ye Ming after Ye Ming beat Li Li and Chen Weiping last year. Therefore, his relationship with Ye Ming has always been very delicate, and the two people interacted very closely. There were not many people there, and there were relatively few phone calls. However, Li Zhihua had been working in the Supervisory Office for several years, and he was really addicted to thinking about being the director of the First Branch, so he had to shamelessly call Ye Ming to fight for himself. .
At this moment, when he heard Ye Ming's jokes and knew that he said them on purpose, he felt a little embarrassed. He laughed twice and said, "Director Ye, I'm embarrassed if you say that. Who in the county bureau doesn't know Director Ye is the most honest and principled person. It is impossible for you, Director Ye, to receive talks of integrity and admonishment."
At this point, he paused for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say: "Director Ye, I heard that you will be promoted soon. Over the years, I had a drink with you once, on your birthday last year. , but there were too many people that time, and I didn’t have many opportunities to toast you, let alone have a good chat with you. Therefore, if Director Ye is free tonight, I would like to invite you out alone and find a good friend. Let’s have a nice drink at a shop. Firstly, I wish you success in the exam, and secondly, I wish you all the best in your future in your new unit and your promotion. How about it, Director Ye, do you have time?”
Ye Ming felt strange when he heard that he also wanted to invite him to drink. He had to evade and said: "Director Li, I'm sorry. I have invited someone else to have dinner with me tonight and I can't drink with you. Let's wait until I finish the exam." "After the transfer is settled, can I invite Director Li to dinner?"
Li Zhihua heard that he rejected her without any room for negotiation, and like Liu Pengcheng, he thought that he had promised to someone else, so he could only say "good" and hung up the phone in frustration.
Next, Ye Ming received several more calls one after another, including Huang Guonan, the director of the Service Department, Zeng Zhan, the deputy director of the Inspection Bureau, and Wu Yaoyuan, the director of the Fourth Branch... These people called him, and they all invited him. For dinner, although he finally excused himself with various reasons, the doubts in his heart became more and more serious. Although he was very popular in the bureau, he was not as good as so many middle-level people. The extent to which the cadres invited themselves to dinner at the same time. What's more, when these people invited themselves to dinner, their attitude was very enthusiastic and their tone was very respectful. Several of them even vaguely said that they wanted Director Ye to take more care and help. From these situations, Analysis shows that these people obviously have their own needs.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Ye Ming suddenly remembered what Director Zou said to him last night, saying that the bureau party group would seek his opinions during the selection of middle-level cadres. Could it be that these people have already Knowing Director Zou's intention, if this is the case, how did they get the news? According to Director Zou's character and acting style, it is impossible for him to tell such an important and secret matter publicly.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Liu Pengcheng's somewhat inexplicable phone call just now, and his unusual behavior of hanging up the phone silently in the end. He gradually confirmed his suspicion just now: Liu Pengcheng just wanted to treat him to dinner, maybe because he wanted to give it to him. He helped compete for the director of the first branch, but he rejected him flatly, which caused him to misunderstand and thought that he was unwilling to help him, so he hung up the phone silently...
In order to confirm his guess, Ye Ming quickly picked up his cell phone and dialed Liu Pengcheng's number.
At this time, Liu Pengcheng was still sitting in his office in a daze. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he didn't answer it immediately. It wasn't until the phone was about to hang up that he picked it up and looked at the number. After saying the words "Director Ye", he quickly jumped up from his seat, swiped his finger on the screen, and answered Ye Ming's call.
"Director Liu, I would like to ask: Are there any major developments in the bureau these past two days? Are there preparations for a competition for middle-level cadres?"
Liu Pengcheng originally expected that Ye Ming would call to agree to have dinner with him. When he suddenly asked, his enthusiasm was extinguished: He must have asked knowingly, because Director Zou clearly said that he wanted your recommendation. How could you not know about the selection of branch directors and deputy directors? Isn't this intentional?
However, after all, he had a good relationship with Ye Ming. Although he was a little dissatisfied and unhappy in his heart, he still replied seriously: "Director Ye, Director Zou presided over a bureau affairs meeting today. I attended the meeting on your behalf. Last week, Director Zou talked about the competition for middle-level cadres. Moreover, he also made it clear: The county bureau party group will listen to your opinions on the candidates for the director and deputy director of the first branch and ask you to recommend suitable candidates. It is estimated that, This competition is held in early July,"
When Ye Ming heard Liu Pengcheng's words, he suddenly realized: No wonder so many people called to invite him to dinner today. It turned out that Director Zou publicly let it slip at the bureau meeting, saying that when selecting the director and deputy director of the first branch, He will listen to and adopt his own suggestions, and the reason why he made this sudden and uncharacteristic statement is obviously to tell those who will become the director and deputy director of the first branch in the future: Ye Ming recommended you for this position. , you have to inherit Ye Ming's love and be grateful to Ye Ming.
Thinking about this, Ye Ming felt that he really couldn't laugh or cry.
