Xiao Zhihui followed Zhang Dongfang's instructions and called Zou Wenming.
After listening to Xiao Zhihui conveying Zhang Dongfang's words, Zou Wenming was silent for a moment and said: "Director Xiao, could you please bless Xiaoye for me and tell Director Zhang: I have something to do at home, so I won't come over to eat and sing tonight."
Zhang Dongfang heard that Team Leader Zou was not coming, and remembered that he was a rather rigid person. He never went into karaoke and dance halls, and he never drank alcohol, so he didn't force it and asked Xiao Zhihui to take everyone to the large box they had just booked for a drink.
After they sat down in the big box, just as Ouyang Junjun had expected, more than a dozen middle-level cadres from the bureau came one after another, and almost all the top leaders of each unit under the bureau arrived.
Everyone who came brought red envelopes, and Ye Ming couldn't push them away even if he wanted to. He didn't have the habit of carrying bags with him, so he had to put all the red envelopes into Chen Yi's big bag.
Chen Yi is a very simple-minded person. She didn't think too much about the real purpose and intention of these people to celebrate Ye Ming's birthday. She just saw that her beloved man was valued by so many leaders and colleagues, and they were all surrounding him.
Toasting, congratulating, laughing and making noise, I just feel extremely proud and proud in my heart.
Therefore, from beginning to end, she always had a happy expression on her face, and from time to time she would look affectionately at Ye Ming, who was sitting next to him with great energy and high spirits, and she even forgot to cover up and avoid taboos...
Fortunately, everyone at the table was focusing on Ye Ming at the moment, and no one noticed the strange look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Ming...
Ye Ming is a man of temperament. Although Ouyang Jun just said a lot of salty words to him and analyzed to him the fundamental reason why so many leaders came to celebrate his birthday today, he was still very grateful to these leaders and
His colleagues were so enthusiastic that he started to toast them one by one at the table.
When Chen Yi was offered a toast, everyone at the table thought she would offer tea instead of wine, because Chen Yi never drank alcohol no matter what the occasion. Even if the leaders of the provincial bureau came down to toast her at the wine table, she
They would all smile and refuse.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Ming held a glass of wine, faced her with a smile, and motioned for her to pick up the tea cup, she unexpectedly picked up a cup, poured a full glass of white wine from the flask, and clinked it with Ye Ming.
He tilted his neck and drank it.
The people at the wine table were stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
A few people took the opportunity to make a fuss: "Chen Yi, return the favor to Ye Ming! Three toasts!"
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Sister Chen Yi, I know you can't drink wine, just drink tea!"
Chen Yi smiled sweetly, filled her cup again without saying a word, raised it and said to Ye Ming: "Little Ye Zi, my sister also gives you a glass in return. I wish you good luck every year and good luck every year!"
As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.
As soon as she finished the glass of wine, Chen Yi's face, which was as white as cream, immediately blushed. The blush quickly spread, and soon, her cheeks and ears were all red...
Ye Ming looked at her a little worriedly and whispered: "Sister Chen, are you okay? Don't drink anymore. If anyone wants to respect you, I will drink for you!"
Chen Yi shook her head and said, "No! Sister is happy today and will be fine."
Ye Ming wanted to persuade her a few words, but the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at the number. It was Team Leader Zou's.
"Xiaoye, can you go outside the box to answer the phone?"
"Okay, okay! Just wait!"
Ye Ming responded and quickly walked out of the box.
"Team Leader Zou, I'm out, please tell me!"
"It's like this: I'm driving alone at the right corner of Chutian Hotel. Can you come out for a moment? Come and sit in my car. I want to chat with you!"
"Okay, I'll be right over!"
Ye Ming hung up the phone, walked into the private room and said hello to Zhang Dongfang and others, saying that a friend was looking for him outside, and hurriedly went out and walked to the corner on the right side of the hotel.
Team Leader Zou drove a Toyota car he bought himself. Ye Ming opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, smiling and saying hello to Team Leader Zou.
Team leader Zou turned on the overhead light, picked up a bulging envelope from his seat, stuffed it into Ye Ming's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaoye, it's your birthday today. Logically speaking, I should come to the hotel to toast you with a glass of wine and wish you the best."
Bless you. But as you know, I am not used to the noisy scenes, and I really can't drink, so I didn't come. Now I am here to send you my blessings alone. I hope you have a bright future and a bright future!
"
Ye Ming was shocked when he saw the bulging red envelope, which probably contained seven or eight thousand yuan. He quickly shied away and said, "Team Leader Zou, how can this be done? I can never accept this gift!"
Team leader Zou couldn't help but stuff the red envelope into his arms and said: "Xiaoye, this is my intention, and it's sincere. Don't shirk it. I'm not like some people who use public money to be generous."
, On the surface, he makes a lively scene, but in fact he has nothing to lose... Xiaoye, don't mind what I say! I don't mean it against you! I just can't stand their behavior, and I'm disgusted with their hypocrisy.
Fake love!"
Ye Ming knew that he was talking about Zhang Dongfang, and hurriedly said: "Team Leader Zou, actually I am a little uncomfortable with this matter today. However, Director Zhang and others are also very kind, and I am still very grateful. Of course, what you said
It makes sense, and thank you very much for talking to me about these words so sincerely! But I really can’t ask for the red envelope!”
With that said, he stuffed the red envelope into Team Leader Zou's arms.
Team leader Zou said a little unhappy: "Xiaoye, do you look down on my little gift? If you dislike it, forget it! If you think highly of me, Zou Wenming, take the red envelope back!"
Seeing that he had talked about this, Ye Ming had no choice but to accept the red envelope.
Team Leader Zou was satisfied, then turned to look at him and said, "Xiaoye, have you thought about your job competition? Did Zhang Dongfang make any promises to you?"
"No, Director Zhang didn't tell me anything!"
Zou Wenming said "Oh" and said thoughtfully: "He actually said at the party group meeting: He will directly promote you to be the deputy secretary director of the office! But I think if it were me, I would have other ideas for you.
Appointment arrangements!”
When Ye Ming heard this, his heart became clear: Team Leader Zou wants to compete with Zhang Dongfang for the top spot. Because they all know now: Who is the top leader in Xinleng County Bureau? The most critical and decisive person now is him.
Ye Ming. As long as I strongly recommend someone in front of Xu Fei, 70% to 80% of this position will belong to that person...
Thinking of this, he asked with great interest: "Team Leader Zou, what do you think you will do for me?"
Zou Wenming said thoughtfully: "I think that with your ability, level and connections, it is more than enough to be responsible for the work of a department in our small county bureau. My idea is: Director Huang of the Inspection Bureau this time
It is very likely that you will be promoted to deputy director. Therefore, the director of the first branch, Luo Wei, can be transferred to the Inspection Bureau as the director. The first branch will not have a director for the time being. Then, you will be promoted to the first branch as the deputy director, and the party group of the bureau will make it clear that you are temporarily responsible.
The overall work of the bureau is what the acting director means, but no documents are issued, only clarifications are made internally. In this case, you can become the de facto leader of a branch, but others will have nothing to say!"
When Ye Ming heard about this unbelievable plan of "stealing a beam and replacing it with a pillar", he couldn't help but admire Team Leader Zou's meticulous thinking.
