Ye Ming originally didn't want to talk about Captain Chen Guitian and Director Guo Guangwei, because he thought it was a bit vulgar and a bit like pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner, but he had already seen it: This Liu Ziliang is really By following this trick, he is probably just an official fan who dreams about climbing up the ladder. That is why he is so timid and afraid of his superiors, for fear that the leaders will have any unfavorable impressions and opinions on him. Therefore, when he When he learned that he had a good relationship with Captain Chen and Director Guo, he changed his previous arrogant attitude and ran over to apologize for his thorns in an honest and respectful manner.
So, since Liu Ziliang is such a person, he must take advantage of his weakness and emphasize his relationship with Captain Chen, especially Director Guo, so that he can only dream of currying favor with him. In that case, he will be in the dormitory Here, in the class, there is another loyal ally. He can help with anything, especially Yan Changgeng. As long as he unites Liu Ziliang and Chen Yufei, he will not be afraid of him making trouble in the future. …
Sure enough, after listening to Ye Ming's words, Liu Ziliang's expression became more respectful. While passing the two cigarettes to Ye Ming's hand, he kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said repeatedly: "Yes, that's right. Yes, Director Ye, you are right. We used to have small festivals and misunderstandings, so there is no need to keep them in mind. From now on, we are good friends, good brothers, and good classmates. We should help each other when encountering problems. , we must unite closely, fight together, and make progress together, hahaha,”
Of course Ye Ming would not accept his cigarette, so he pushed away his hand offering the cigarette and said in a very sincere tone: "Captain Liu, you just said that we should be good brothers, good friends, and good classmates. Therefore, there is no need for you to give me this cigarette. I accept your wish. I know you are also a smoker, so you should keep it and smoke it. I am not afraid of your jokes: In fact, the ones like 'He Tianxia' are ridiculously expensive. I am not used to smoking these top-quality cigarettes. Every time I smoke these cigarettes, I feel like burning money in my mouth. I have a burning and distressing feeling. Therefore, when I usually smoke, I only smoke a pack of nine yuan. If you are going out to meet guests, you should only bring a pack of yellow-mouthed Furong King for 25 yuan to greet the guests."
Speaking of this, Ye Ming suddenly remembered that when he first entered dormitory 301, he gave Yan Changgeng a yellow-mouthed Furongwang cigarette, but he rudely refused, saying that he stopped smoking this kind of cigarette ten years ago. , then smiled and said to Liu Ziliang: "Captain Liu, in fact, according to the income level of our civil servants, being able to smoke a pack of high-quality Baisha cigarettes for nine yuan a day is considered a luxury. But now, many officials smoke a hundred yuan at every turn. A pack of Diamond Furong King, Best and World, and even a pack of Yellow Crane Tower 1916 cigarettes worth more than 100 yuan. I just can’t figure it out: As a civil servant, the monthly salary, bonus and allowance combined can exceed 5,000 yuan. Yuan, that’s the highest level. Then, these leading cadres smoke such expensive cigarettes every day, and they smoke two or three packs. Where does their money come from? His family does not eat or drink. It is definitely unrealistic to allow him to smoke.
"So, I thought: What brand of cigarettes a leading cadre smokes can also roughly tell the leading cadre's integrity index, and can also tell whether the leader is hard-working and simple, and whether he has hedonistic thoughts. Not long ago, wasn't there a report on the Internet about a leading cadre in a certain place who was dismissed because of cigarettes? He attended a meeting, and the pack of cigarettes placed in front of him, after careful identification by netizens, turned out to be expensive 95-year-old cigarettes. So , this incident spread on the Internet. In the end, this leading cadre also pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud because of this pack of cigarettes. He was examined by the Discipline Inspection Commission and transferred to the judicial authority for sentencing.
"Therefore, I think: No matter you are a leading cadre or an ordinary civil servant, you must pay attention to this small aspect of life and be on guard. Don't lose the big for the small, don't have any comparison mentality or vanity, but live within your means. We can cook as much rice as we have. Only in this way can we maintain a normal mind and not be greedy or possessive. What do you think, Captain Liu?"
Ye Ming's words, which were neither serious nor serious, made Liu Ziliang's face turn pale, and his heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water. He was in a state of confusion. In his opinion, this was Ye Ming's deliberate warning to himself. Remind yourself, beat yourself up, because his godfather is Li Runji, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He dares to say such preachy words to himself. It must be because of his background that he is so outspoken and not afraid of offending himself. …
Therefore, after listening to Ye Ming's words, he quickly retracted the hand that handed Ye Ming the cigarette, smiled with a red face, and said: "Director Ye is right, what you said is indeed true. I felt enlightened after hearing these good words. In fact, I usually don’t smoke such expensive cigarettes. However, today, in order to express my sincerity in apologizing to Director Ye, a comrade happened to give me these two cigarettes. Cigarettes, that’s why I brought them over here. Since Director Ye said this, I won’t force it. I’ll get rid of these two cigarettes when I get back.”
Ye Ming just said what he said in a long way. On the one hand, he really felt it. On the other hand, he also wanted to persuade Liu Ziliang not to give him cigarettes. Unexpectedly, Liu Ziliang misunderstood what he meant and actually said that he would go back and deal with those two items. He couldn't help but laugh a little, and said hurriedly: "Captain Liu, if this cigarette is really a gift from your comrade, there is no need to get rid of it. Anyway, you are a smoker, so just put it in the dormitory and smoke a pack occasionally." , it’s good to smoke as a distinguished guest. If I forget to buy cigarettes, I can come to you to ask for a pack of cigarettes to smoke, which saves me the trouble of running out to buy cigarettes, haha,”
When Liu Ziliang heard what Ye Ming said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly threw the cigarette on the sofa in the living room and said, "Yes, yes, I will be too mechanical then. I will put these two cigarettes here. Director Ye If you run out of cigarettes, just hold it and smoke, don’t divide what’s yours and what’s mine,”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Ye Ming a little embarrassedly: "Director Ye, you called me this morning and asked me to go for dinner and drinks with you. This agreement still counts, but now I am asking Ye Ming The director asked for a drink, hahaha,"
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "It counts, of course it counts. In fact, you didn't listen to what I said in the morning. What I meant at that time was: In the evening, you and I will invite Director Guo and Captain Chen to dinner together in the name of classmates. Let's have a few drinks together. Now that you're here, I'll formally invite you again. I hope Captain Liu will appreciate it,"
When Liu Ziliang heard Ye Ming's words, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. He beamed with joy and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
