Chapter 1096 [The tangle of Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei! 】
Xie Guoliang's office.
"The things are done, have you eaten yet, Xuebin?"
"Not yet. I'll go out with my colleagues to find something to eat later."
"Well, I have a lot of things to do here, so why don't I keep you here?"
"Okay, you are busy with your work. If you are free tomorrow, I will treat you and my aunt to dinner in the evening."
"Haha, let's talk about it then. I'll check the time tomorrow. It's not necessarily the day after tomorrow."
…
An allocation of 50 million has been secured.
Dong Xuebin’s mission in coming to Beijing this time has been completed.
Originally, the county's financial gap was only over 10 million, and the target assigned to Dong Xuebin by the county was between 2 million and 10 million. As a result, just one day ago, not only did they achieve the goal, they even received five times the excess allocation.
, Dong Xuebin was naturally happy. With this money as a foundation, it would be much easier for him to carry out his work after returning to Zhenshui County, and his prestige would also be established.
Outside.
In the corridor.
Director Qian, Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei both waited dryly.
As soon as Dong Xuebin came out of Xie Guoliang's office, the three people glanced at him. Director Qian hesitated to speak and remained silent for a long time.
Yan Yizhi hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Dong."
Dong Xuebin nodded to him, "Okay."
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei were immediately excited because they wanted the money!
Dong Xuebin handed the note to Director Qian, "Director Qian, take a look."
Director Qian immediately stretched out his hands to take it. He lowered his head and saw, fifty million? His heart tightened. From this, he could see the relationship between Director Xie and the young man in front of him. Otherwise, a small cadre from the county would come to the central government to ask for money.
No matter what, I will never give them as much as 50 million! Alas, Director Qian was complaining in his heart. In fact, when Dong Xuebin called Xie Guoliang "uncle", Director Qian was already cursing in his heart and became paralyzed.
, since you know Minister Xie, and since you are a relative of Minister Xie, you are sick and why do you come to my place to tease me? Wouldn’t everything be solved by just calling Minister Xie? And you still come to my place to go through the formal procedures to apply for funding.
?You are treating me badly! Director Qian remembered his previous attitude towards Dong Xuebin and Yan Yizhi, and his face was a little embarrassed. But fortunately, he didn't say anything too harsh just now. It was all business, otherwise
It’s not as simple as embarrassment!
But Director Qian still had to keep his attitude, so he looked at Dong Xuebin and said politely: "County Magistrate Dong, I was negligent just now. I'm really sorry."
Dong Xuebin shook his hand, "Nothing to be scornful about."
"Then you guys come with me and go to my office to have a rest first, and then I'll go through the procedures."
"Then why bother?" There was no conflict. Dong Xuebin naturally wouldn't argue with him.
"No trouble, by the way, you need to give me a document regarding the situation in your county."
Chen Xiaomei gave him, "Here."
"Okay, please come this way." Director Qian's attitude seemed to have changed from before.
…
Director Qian's Office.
Director Qian went to do some work, leaving Dong Xuebin and the others to rest. He also found someone to pour them tea, as if they were treated as honored guests.
Yan Yizhi immediately asked: "County Magistrate Dong, how much funding will be allocated this time?"
Chen Xiaomei was also curious, but they didn't look at the amount of money written on the note.
Dong Xuebin didn't know the details, and that was necessary. Anyway, he would know when the time comes. "It's okay, but the money hasn't come yet, and I'm not sure now. I'll know when the money comes in a few days."
Yan Yizhi didn't dare to ask further questions.
Chen Xiaomei secretly looked at Dong Xuebin.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. No one said anything.
Dong Xuebin felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he looked at the two of them with a wry smile. "What are you looking at? By the way, what happened with Minister Xie just now... don't tell anyone."
Yan Yizhi's face tightened, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Chen Xiaomei quickly expressed her position: "I won't tell County Magistrate Dong either."
Dong Xuebin agreed, "There are some things that the three of us can't say. We asked for money through the back door this time, so don't spread it out, otherwise the impact will not be very good."
"We understand." Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei both said.
Director Qian was very efficient this time. Of course he did not dare to keep Dong Xuebin and the others waiting for several hours like in the morning, but came back in ten minutes.
"County Magistrate Dong, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"Done?"
"Everything is done and the money will be transferred soon."
"Okay, we'll go back then, thank you."
"You're welcome, then, let me see you off."
"No need, Director Qian, you're busy."
"No, I'd better give it away."
Director Qian enthusiastically sent the three Dong Xuebin out of the office building. Finally, after they had gone far, he waved goodbye politely, regardless of the strange looks from other staff in the compound. Everyone wondered what Director Qian was doing.
?Give it away? As for being so polite? Who gave it away?
Everyone turned their attention and glanced at Dong Xuebin and the others.
…
Wangfu Hotel.
The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel.
As soon as we entered the lobby, a waitress trotted over and said, "Mr. Dong, are you back? If you need anything, you can tell me."
Dong Xuebin looked at her, "You again?"
It was the same waiter who was waiting for Dong Xuebin at the door of the room in the morning. She just heard her say: "Well, during your stay, the manager asked me..."
Dong Xuebin interrupted: "It's really not necessary, just go back."
The waiter said bitterly: "But the manager said..."
Dong Xuebin said: "Just tell him that it was me who said it, and there is no need to go to so much trouble."
The waitress nodded helplessly and left.
Only then did Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei realize something was wrong, and both looked strange.
Dong Xuebin looked back at them, "I have to go out to do some errands in the afternoon and evening. I'm done with my work. Let's all have free time. It's just a chance to rest for a few days. I'm not in a hurry to go back. I may have to deal with something tomorrow.
It’s just a matter of business, so I can’t accompany you. When the time comes, we can just have dinner with the prince. The bill will be charged to me. If you need anything... just tell the head waiter if the hotel has it."
Yan Yizhi said quickly: "Sure, then you are busy."
…
upstairs.
In a business room.
Chen Xiaomei had just gone back to take a shower and wiped her hair when she saw seven or eight missed calls on her phone, all from her cousin Zhang Hui.
Chen Xiaomei called back, "Cousin, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Hui whispered: "Is County Magistrate Dong next to you?"
Chen Xiaomei snorted, "No, he just went out."
Hearing this, Zhang Hui spoke more relaxedly, "Xiao Mei, why didn't you tell me about County Magistrate Dong's affairs earlier? I almost made a fool of myself today."
"I just found out too."
"Forget it, I don't blame you. By the way, can you help me make an appointment with County Magistrate Dong for dinner?"
"I'm afraid not. He seems to be very busy these two days. He may not even go back to the hotel."
"That's right. With a person like that, he must have a lot of social activities. Xiaomei, you should have more contact with County Magistrate Dong in the future, and try to build relationships with him."
"I'll try my best." Chen Xiaomei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He and County Magistrate Dong were not from the same faction.
"Anyway, it's good for you. By the way, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's go to dinner tonight. My cousin will treat you to dinner."
Zhang Hui's attitude towards Chen Xiaomei was obviously no longer the indifferent attitude he had in the morning. He became very enthusiastic, and Chen Xiaomei could also see it.
…
In another business room.
Knocking on the door, Chen Xiaomei entered Yan Yizhi's room.
Yan Yizhi was smoking one cigarette after another. The room was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. He seemed to be thinking about something, "Coming?"
"Yeah." Chen Xiaomei knew what Director Yan was thinking without asking. The two have been partners for many years.
"Did you see the waiter's attitude when we entered the hotel just now?" Yan Yizhi raised his head and looked at her, "I just realized why the waiter was so kind to us yesterday and didn't pay for anything. It turned out that County Magistrate Dong stayed at the hotel on his first day.
Just know it, it’s all arranged.”
Chen Xiaomei said bitterly: "County Magistrate Dong is definitely not an ordinary person in the capital."
Yan Yizhi said: "People should not be judged by their appearance. Yesterday I was mistaken."
"Then what should we do now?" Chen Xiaomei sat down on the sofa, "County Magistrate Dong won't let us tell anyone, but if Secretary Meng asks..."
Yan Yizhi sighed and said: "I am also worried about this matter, Lao Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I don't know either. My cousin just called me and asked me to try to have a good relationship with County Magistrate Dong, but the problem now is..."
Ring ring ring, the phone rang.
The more he thought about it, the more things came to him. When Yan Yizhi looked at the number, it turned out to be Secretary Meng's secretary Zhang Feng. He had no choice but to pick up the call, "Hello, Secretary Zhang."
Zhang Feng got straight to the point: "Secretary Meng, let me know how the situation is over there?"
Yan Yizhi pondered for a moment and said: "The details are not clear yet. The main thing is that County Magistrate Dong contacted the Ministry of Finance."
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Where is County Magistrate Dong?"
"Maybe he went out?"
"Is there anything else going on over there?"
Yan Yizhi was silent, "..."
"Director Yan? Old Yan?" Zhang Feng called twice.
"Ah, I'm here, I'm here." Yan Yizhi was forced to make a decision. He gritted his teeth and said immediately: "There is nothing happening here."
"Well, that's ok, contact me anytime if you have anything. Secretary Meng is also very concerned about your visit to the capital this time."
The phone hung up.
Yan Yizhi put down his phone and rubbed his forehead.
Chen Xiaomei also heard the content of the phone call, "Then the matter about County Magistrate Dong will not be reported? In the future, if Secretary Meng knows that we two are hiding something, then..."
Yan Yizhi told the truth and said: "To be disrespectful, Secretary Meng and Minister Xie asked you to choose one to offend. How should you choose?"
But Yan Yizhi did not expect that Chen Xiaomei seemed to be more courageous than him, and said in a shocking way: "County Magistrate Dong has such a strong background, and he is in charge of financial affairs in the county, otherwise we might as well join forces and go to Magistrate Dong."
Yan Yizhi was stunned.
Chen Xiaomei was also frightened by her own words and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "That's what I said."
Yan Yizhi remained silent for a long time. (To be continued)
