As soon as the news about all the stars focusing on neighboring counties was broadcast, many places in the city aroused heated discussions and shouting, including the homes of city leading cadres.
"Dad! Dad!" a teenage boy shouted excitedly.
Zhang Dongxing, director of Baohong City Investment Promotion Bureau, was still sitting on the sofa watching the news just now, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. After the child called him several times, Zhang Dongxing came back to his senses, looked at his son, and smiled.
Said: "What's the matter? What are you calling daddy for?" Although Zhang Dongxing is not old, he is not young either. He is already over forty years old. This can be regarded as a son of old age, so he loves his son very much, let alone losing his temper.
Zhang Dongxing can't even speak loudly to his son, but he is always amiable and approachable.
The boy pointed at the TV and said excitedly: "I want to watch Amy! I like Amy the most! All the classmates in our class like her! You can take me there tomorrow!"
Zhang Dongxing said, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Jiaolin County! I want to see their party!" The boy was already excited. He clenched his fists and jumped up, yelling.
Zhang Dongxing hesitated and said, "There's nothing interesting about that, right?"
"No, Amy sings beautifully, and so does Ellen!" the boy said anxiously.
Zhang Dongxing said: "It's the same as watching it at home. There must be a live broadcast in their county."
The boy said coquettishly: "Dad, I have to go, I absolutely must go. This opportunity is too rare. If you miss it, you will never have the opportunity in your next life. Aren't you the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau? Their neighboring county also has an investment promotion association. That's right.
It’s not easy for you to get seven or eight tickets for the unit you are in charge of. You, me, my mother, if I give my classmates a few more tickets, our classmates will definitely be happy! Everyone likes them! And they are
I love you so much, you have no idea how popular Amy and Ellen are in our school!"
Zhang Dongxing pondered for a long time but didn't agree.
His lover came out of the kitchen after cutting the fruit. She frowned when she heard the sound. She is also a mother who loves her son very much. "Lao Zhang, if your son wants to see it, just take him there. You will also have a rest tomorrow. They are holding an investment fair, so they will definitely invite you."
You know, how many tickets are there for you? Isn’t it easy?”
Zhang Dongxing said: "You don't understand, they invited me. But I didn't agree. I said I couldn't go tomorrow because I had something to do, so I made the call in the afternoon. Dong Xuebin from Jiao Neighboring County has a complicated relationship with the city, so I
Many city leaders are dissatisfied, so I didn't give them this face. Now if I mention the matter of going there, wouldn't I be giving my face to them? What do you know?"
The boy kept shaking his father's hand, "Daddy, daddy, daddy."
When the child's mother saw it, she felt soft-hearted and said, "Their investment fair is also under the guidance of your city's investment promotion. If you don't go, what's the matter with how many tickets you need?"
Zhang Dongxing said helplessly: "That Dong Xuebin, you don't know at all. He is a very bastard master. He dare not even give face to the city leaders. That time the people from the city's rescue team kindly went to help.
In the end, Dong Xuebin was scolded back, and his temper... I won't talk about it."
The son begged him again and again, even if he died or died.
In the end, Zhang Dongxing had no choice but to make a call to the Jiao Neighbor County Investment Promotion Bureau, "Hey, Director Sun, it's me... Well, please get me some tickets for tomorrow's art party, my son.
I really want to go...yeah...what? Your county party committee secretary has to make the decision? Why...what's so important about this ticket, isn't it reserved...um...um...ok, I understand!" Put down the phone,
Zhang Dongxing was not very happy. He originally wanted to get a few tickets from the investment promotion department by virtue of his status as the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau. Who would have expected that there was not a single ticket there. He said that it must be approved by Dong Xuebin. The tickets were all there.
The county committee.
Isn't this irritating?
It’s just a few tickets, what’s the big deal??
"Dad! How's it going?" His son looked expectantly.
Seeing his son's expression, Zhang Dongxing took back his words, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his son and tell him no.
…
Jiaolin County.
The home of the county party secretary.
Dong Xuebin had already lit a cigarette and was resting on the bed. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. When he saw the number, it was Zhang Dongxing's number that he had saved before.
As soon as he answered, Dong Xuebin ignored him and said, "Hey, who's there?"
"I am Zhang Dongxing." Zhang Dongxing said.
"Oh, Director Zhang, are you okay?" Dong Xuebin said.
Zhang Dongxing paused for a moment, then said: "The China Merchants Bureau will not release the tickets for tomorrow's party until your approval. I saw the news, and the lineup is very luxurious."
Dong Xuebin didn't mention this issue at all, "Yes, everyone came to support it to save face."
Seeing that he didn't mention it, Zhang Dongxing could only say: "My son likes Amy very much, do you think you can leave some tickets for us? I thought about it, the county's investment promotion work is also our city's work, as a guiding unit
, I definitely need support, so I am going to put the matter aside tomorrow and take my son with me." He also knew that it would be unreasonable to ask for tickets again at this time, so he also explained it to himself.
Dong Xuebin knew it was him as soon as he saw the phone. He couldn't help but sneered and thought to himself, what did you do earlier? You were chatting with me this afternoon. Now that you see so many celebrities, you want to come?
"Director Zhang." Dong Xuebin crossed his legs and said, "We are not rich in tickets here. If you buy one ticket, it will be fine, but if you have more tickets, it will be difficult."
Zhang Dongxing felt depressed for a while, "The seat is not that tight, right?"
"You don't know, Lao Zhang." Dong Xuebin called out smoothly.
Lao Zhang? Zhang Dongxing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Do I know you that well? Still Lao Zhang?
Dong Xuebin said: "There are so many celebrities here. This cultural festival is very popular. We didn't expect this. The tickets have been distributed early, and..." He chattered for a long time, which probably lasted five or six minutes.
Already.
Zhang Dongxing: "..."
Dong Xuebin finally said reluctantly: "Well, since it's Director Zhang's face, I must give you the green light. Let me ask if I can squeeze out two tickets. No more will be enough."
, this is you, Director Zhang, I wouldn't care if it were anyone else." That reluctant tone and painful tone seemed to be a huge favor to Zhang Dongxing.
Zhang Dongxing was speechless for a while, but there was nothing he could do. Who said he couldn't go because he had something to do before? Now he could only say thank you.
After beating him for a long time, Dong Xuebin was very satisfied.
Next, Dong Xuebin’s phone calls never stopped.
Ring ring ring.
Ring ring ring.
"Hey, Xiao Dong, Lao Sun from our provincial government office, please leave me some tickets."
"Are you Secretary Dong from Jiao Neighbor County? I am the county magistrate of Zhanghuai County. I heard that you are holding a party there?"
"Hey, Secretary Dong, do you still have the party tickets? My wife insists on seeing Zhou Xuguo's performance. Haha, please save two for us. Thank you very much."
In the end, even leaders from other neighboring counties called Dong Xuebin’s mobile phone to ask for votes.
For other people, Dong Xuebin naturally wants to give it to whom. Anyway, there are more than a thousand votes left. Everyone is a friend. Even Dong Xuebin, a leading cadre in the neighboring county and city, will give this face and sell it as a small favor.
It was nothing to him, but for some cadres from Baohong City who had been invited by Jiao Neighbor County before but refused or did not agree to attend the meeting, Dong Xuebin refused to answer the phone, and the ink marks were roundabout about not raising votes.
, Dong Xuebin had to wait for others to emphasize the explanation repeatedly before he would reply. Although he gave the tickets in the end, he just gave them one or two as if he was squeezing his teeth. Moreover, he seemed to be very embarrassed. No one was happy.
Yes, these leading cadres were so angry that they scolded all eight generations of Dong Xuebin's ancestors. Everyone knew that these few votes were definitely not a problem for Jiao Neighboring County. The biggest problem was to add a few more chairs.
, but Dong Xuebin kept coming and going with a bunch of reasons and excuses, which made people hate him so much, thinking that this guy named Dong is so damn vindictive!
But there was no way, who let the tickets be in the hands of others? Even Zhang Dongfang couldn't make the decision on this matter. Lao Zhang had already avoided answering their calls. All tickets in the county had to be approved by Dong Xuebin. They could only
Call Dong Xuebin. In fact, they also understand that it is impossible for Dong Xuebin to speak for every ticket. Then the person named Dong will be exhausted. He has not slept for three days and three nights and he will not be able to issue all these tickets. One phone call
Where should I send a phone call? The party will start tomorrow afternoon. There must be someone from the county committee and county government who invoices. The reason why the information fed back there is like this is that Dong Xuebin must be looking for their back account, specifically for
These city cadres who had not accepted invitations from neighboring counties before were deliberately irritating people.
If we change to another county, if another county party committee secretary is replaced as the leader, these city cadres will not even make a phone call. What's wrong if they don't accept the invitation? Just go directly to the party tomorrow. They are city cadres and have the right to go back on their words.
, they don’t believe that the other party dares not to let them bring their relatives and friends in, but now the other party is Dong Xuebin, a well-known thorn in the city, a stinky hooligan who even foreign guests and city cadres dare to scold, and everyone is shocked.
Knowing that he can really do it, although they are not afraid of Dong Xuebin, if Dong Xuebin is really kicked out because he has no tickets in front of everyone, where will the face be saved?
Use other channels to get tickets?
It's not impossible. It's definitely not difficult to get it. How can they still have this kind of energy?
But they had refused the invitation from Jiao Lin County before, and now they were getting tickets by themselves, which seemed a bit sneaky. Moreover, several of them city cadres were waiting dryly with their tickets to check in and take their seats. This in itself was a loss of face, Jiao Lin.
People in the county still don't look askance at them? They can't afford to lose this person.
So everyone can only make this call to Dong Xuebin and admit it temporarily. (To be continued.)
