After getting a positive reply from Secretary Lu, Xia Bicheng was very excited and said many words of gratitude to Secretary Lu. It was not until Secretary Lu said that he had something to deal with that he reluctantly said goodbye to Secretary Lu.
Next, Xia Bicheng called Secretary Li Runji again and told him: Ye Ming and Chu Chu decided to get engaged in the near future, and Secretary Lu had agreed to attend their engagement ceremony.
Secretary Li was also very happy after hearing this. He asked him about the conversation between him and Ye Ming. Then he thought about it and suddenly asked: "Bicheng, how are you going to arrange this engagement ceremony and how many tables are you planning to set up?" Banquet."
Xia Bicheng thought for a while and decided to tell Secretary Li his plan: "Secretary Li, my idea is this: it is better to organize this engagement banquet in Xiaoye's name. After all, I am now the director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau. In terms of position, if I come forward to organize an engagement banquet for my daughter, it will attract criticism from others. However, I only have a daughter named Chu Chu, and she is a public figure and can be regarded as a star. If her engagement is not lively, it will be a bit unfair to her. Secondly, she will also feel that she has no face and feels that we parents do not care about her. Therefore, I still want to make this engagement ceremony more grand and lively, at least to make Chu Chu feel that she has face and happiness. feel."
He thought that these words were very tactful and appropriate, and that his plan was very thorough, so his tone was quite smug.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard Secretary Li say in a stern tone: "Bicheng, you are really planning to hold an engagement banquet for Chu Chu and Xiao Ye Da Cao. Why are you so confused? First of all , no matter where the custom is, young men and women do not send invitations when they get engaged. They just tell a few close relatives and friends and treat them to a few glasses of wedding wine. There is no big banquet for guests and friends for the engagement. Secondly, even if it is customary to It is not appropriate for you and Xiaoye to hold a banquet in a big way. Whether it is in your name or in Xiaoye's name, it is essentially the same and it violates relevant disciplines and regulations. You two If the banquet is held in violation of regulations, how can I, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, come to attend? Thirdly, you told me that Secretary Lu is coming to attend the engagement ceremony between Xiaoye and Chuchu, so you should not make such a big deal. Think about it: if you Call all your colleagues, relatives and friends over, and there are dozens of noisy tables. How can Secretary Lu still come to attend the engagement ceremony?"
As soon as he said this, Xia Bicheng suddenly woke up: Yes, why didn't he think of this level?
In fact, there are no invitations or banquets during the engagement ceremony. Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua are both very aware of this custom. However, Zeng Yanhua is a woman who loves money. She always feels that her family has never done any weddings and weddings, and many gifts have been given away. There is no chance to take back the favor,
Therefore, she proposed to Xia Bicheng a long time ago: My Chu Chu is a big star. When it comes to her marriage, she cannot stick to customs and must hold two banquets: one when she gets engaged, and another grand one when she gets married. ,
She also explained to Xia Bicheng: Chu Chu is a celebrity, and many celebrity engagements are very grand, and many banquets will be held. We, Chu Chu, held banquets when we got engaged. We just followed the celebrity style, so it should not cause any criticism... …
It is precisely because of this that Xia Bicheng decided to organize their engagement ceremony in the name of Ye Ming. Unexpectedly, he was severely reprimanded by Secretary Li...
So, he had no choice but to say to Secretary Li: "Secretary Li, your criticism is right. It is my lack of consideration on this issue. Don't worry: I will only invite some close relatives and friends to participate in this engagement ceremony. Other comrades and colleagues will be invited to attend." Don’t invite anyone, try to be as simple as possible, and don’t engage in extravagance and waste, or make a fuss about it.”
Secretary Li said "hmm", thought about it again, and said: "It must be done, I have another suggestion: in view of the unfavorable situation Xiaoye is facing now, his and Chu Chu's engagement ceremony must follow one principle: the momentum must be Make it bigger and have a wider influence, but when hosting the banquet, it should be low-key and simple, so as not to leave any excuse or braid for anyone to attack you and Xiaoye, do you understand what I mean."
Xia Bicheng knew what Secretary Li meant: The so-called "the momentum should be louder and the influence should be wider", which means that the engagement between Chu Chu and Ye Ming should be informed to the public. It is best to make it a major news on the Internet and other news media. In this way If so, it can completely cover up the negative reports on Ye Ming and Chen Yi on the Internet.
But at the same time, since both Secretary Lu and Secretary Li will attend this ceremony, the engagement banquet cannot be too high-profile or too luxurious. Participants must also be selected and only those with a certain status can attend, otherwise , Secretary Lu and Secretary Li are not suitable to participate...
Therefore, he quickly replied: "Okay, I will definitely follow your instructions."
At the same time, in the office of the chairman of Zhenxing Steel Company in Xinlang County, Li Botang and Li Zhi, father and son, were also discussing the next step.
Li Zhi turned on the computer and was looking for posts on a certain website about reporting Ye Ming's corrupt lifestyle. However, after looking around, he found that all the posts and comments had been published in just a few hours from the afternoon to now. It was completely deleted, not even the title was left.
At this time, he lost his composure. He raised his head from the computer and said worriedly to Li Botang: "Dad, Ye Ming, this kid, is afraid that we underestimate his ability and background. Look, this All the posts I posted on the website were deleted within a few hours. To do this, the leader of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee responsible for online public opinion could only do it in such a short time. Ye Ming is able to ask the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to do this for him, which is a bit scary."
Li Botang smiled disdainfully and said: "What ability does he have? It's not because his so-called godfather is supporting him from behind. Li Zhi, this is a battle. You must have a strategic vision and don't worry about the immediate victory or defeat." Don't worry about the gains and losses of one city or one pool, but be prepared for a protracted war. Let me tell you the truth: I have expected the result you mentioned today. I know they will use their power to interfere with those websites. Force those websites to delete all these posts, but this is exactly the result I want to see."
Li Zhi asked a little confused: "Dad, what do you mean? You encouraged me to post these posts, saying that you would use the power of the Internet to ruin Ye Ming's reputation. Now that the posts have been deleted by them, you said This is exactly what you want to see, you have confused me."
