The next day, Li Wei originally planned to give his stomach a rest and not attend anyone else's dinner party. Unexpectedly, he received a call just after he got to work.
The call came from Liu Ling, his old colleague when he was working in the "Jing Office".
Back then, when he first joined the "Equipment Office", Liu Ling was the one who took the most care of him. She taught him every business step by step, reminded him of the rules of the officialdom at all times, and sincerely told him the inside story of many leaders. It can be said that
He was the first teacher he had when he entered the officialdom.
They are like siblings and get along very happily.
Until one night, Liu Ling called and said that her husband was on a business trip and the fuse at home had blown out and there was no electricity. She asked him to go to her house to help change the fuse.
Li Wei came to Liu Ling's house. Liu Ling was indeed the only one in the house. When she opened the door for him with a candle, Li Wei saw that she was wearing a very see-through pajamas, as if she had nothing on underneath. Li Wei just glanced at her
One glance made me so scared that I never dared to look at her again.
Li Wei opened the meter box and found that the fuse was indeed broken, but it was definitely not blown, but cut by someone, because the break was very neat. He understood everything.
Just as Li Wei was changing the safety wire with trembling hands, Liu Ling, who was standing behind him holding a candle for him, suddenly pressed her body against his back and whispered: "Brother Wei, don't leave tonight, stay here"
Stay with sister."
Li Wei's body stiffened, his hands shook, and the safety device in his hand fell to the ground. He subconsciously ducked. Liu Ling stumbled and almost fell. The candle in her hand fell to the floor and went out.
In the darkness, Liu Ling's breathing became more and more rapid. She suddenly hugged Li Wei and kissed him with her hot mouth. One hand actually went down to try to grab something.
Li Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Sister Ling, don't do this."
"I don't, I don't, brother Wei, sister, please, I want a child."
Li Wei pushed her away and ran away through the door.
Damn it, who said that only girls can be sexually harassed, boys can too. But when boys encounter this kind of thing, most of them will be happy to go along with it. Even if they are unwilling, they will not feel humiliated, but will feel an inexplicable apology.
After Li Wei escaped from Liu Ling's house, he felt like this, as if he owed her something, and he was full of apologies.
Later, Li Wei learned that in fact Liu Ling was not a casual woman. She had never heard of her having a relationship with a man. Liu Ling's husband suffered from infertility. Therefore, Liu Ling was already 38 years old at the time.
There was no child. She came to him that night, maybe she really wanted a child. After knowing this, Li Wei felt even more guilty.
From then on, Liu Ling's attitude towards Li Wei changed completely. As long as Li Wei was around, she would have a cold face, not even look at him, let alone say a word to him.
Until Li Wei left the Design Office.
Only then did Li Wei realize how deeply his actions that night had hurt this woman.
Today, for the first time, she called and asked him to go out for dinner, and Li Wei couldn't refuse no matter what.
Li Wei came to Shuishui Renjia as scheduled. After walking into a small private room, he found that Liu Ling had already arrived, and there was a man in his thirties sitting next to him. The man looked rich and elegant, wearing a pair of gold silk
Glasses.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Li Wei found that the middle-aged lady who still had the charm of the past had aged a lot, and there were already a few gray hairs on her temples.
Liu Ling saw Li Wei and said enthusiastically: "Come on, brother Wei, sit next to sister."
Li Wei seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered the officialdom. At that time, every time there were group gatherings, Liu Ling would greet him like this and sit next to her, serve him the dishes affectionately, and cover the wine for him.
Li Wei sat down next to Liu Ling, and Liu Ling poured a glass of wine and said, "Thank you, Director Li, for coming to the banquet despite your busy schedule. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Li Wei said: "Sister Ling, you should call me Li Wei, or Brother Wei. Li Wei will never forget the care that Sister Ling gave me back then. Li Wei will never forget Sister Ling's invitation to dinner. No matter how busy I am, I will come."
Liu Ling sighed: "Brother Wei is really a person who values love and justice, but there are fewer and fewer such people."
Li Wei said: "Sister Ling is also a person who values friendship. I remember one time, at a wine shop, a leader made trouble for me. Sister Ling scolded the guy and left in despair."
Liu Ling seemed unwilling to recall what happened back then. She pointed to the man next to her and said, "I will introduce you to a friend, my nephew, Liu Wendong."
Liu Wendong stood up and presented a very beautifully printed business card with both hands and said: "Hello Director Li, I will look after you in the future."
Li Wei took the business card and looked at it. The title "General Manager of Huaming Stationery Mall" was printed on it, and he thought to himself: This meal may not be that delicious.
Li Wei said vigilantly: "If you have something to say, just say it. If it doesn't violate the principles and can help, for Sister Ling's sake, I will definitely help."
Liu Ling said: "Wendong has always been the supplier of office supplies for your Education Bureau. The previous contracts were all signed with Fu Chengzhong. Now that you have become the director, Wendong said that he is not familiar with you. I heard that you and I used to
We are colleagues, let me introduce you to each other."
Li Wei said: "If there is no problem with your goods, even if something happens to Fu Chengzhong, we will respect the contract."
Liu Wendong said: "We at Huaming are the largest cultural supplies business in South China, and the products we sell are also the best. I just heard that there is a Henan businessman named Lu Juncai who sells cultural supplies, and he has been in contact with Youju recently...
, the Education Bureau has not received goods from us for a week."
Li Wei said: "I know, I will ask about this matter."
Liu Ling said: "You guys talk, I'll go to the bathroom."
After Liu Ling went out, Liu Wendong took out a document bag from his black leather bag with at least thirty to forty thousand yuan in it. He pushed it to Li Wei and said, "This is our first meeting, just a little fun."
Li Wei's face changed slightly and he said, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing else, I just want to make friends with Director Li." Liu Wendong was stunned. He couldn't figure out what Li Wei was thinking. Did he really not accept the gift, did he think it was too little, or had he already promised to someone else?
Li Wei said: "Don't worry, I didn't promise others, and it's not too little. I have a bottom line. I won't take any money that I shouldn't take. You take it back."
Liu Wendong explained: "In fact, this is the industry practice. For this kind of large business, you can get a commission."
This is called a kickback.
Li Wei said with a smile: "If you think the profit margin is large, you can lower the price appropriately. Firstly, it will improve the competitiveness of your mall. Secondly, it will also save our Education Bureau on renewal fees. As for me, I have my own
It’s salary.”
Liu Wendong put the document bag back into his wallet and sighed: "You are the most honest leader I have ever seen. With people like you, our business will be much easier."
At this time, Liu Ling came back, and the three of them ate and talked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Li Wei said that he would send someone to Huaming to have a look tomorrow. If there is no problem, he will definitely continue to implement the contract.
He also told Liu Wendong that next year the Education Bureau's office supplies would be supplied through bidding to identify suppliers. He hoped that Liu Wendong would strengthen internal management and reduce costs so that he could win the bidding.
Liu Wendong said with a smile: "Without the kickbacks, the cost will definitely be reduced to the minimum. I am confident that I will win the tender.
Afterwards, Li Wei and Liu Ling talked about old times for a while, and then ended the dinner.
Back at the Education Bureau, before I could even sit down, there was a knock on the office door. A fat middle-aged man with a shiny face and a slightly bald head walked in with an oversized leather bag tucked under his chest. He rushed to the boss's desk first.
He held Li Wei's hand with both hands and shook it for a few times, and then said exaggeratedly: "Oh, Director Li, I finally found you. You don't know me, but I know you. Your name is like thunder. You
I don’t know, but Secretary Wang, County Magistrate Luo, County Magistrate Cui, and Minister Zhang and I are all old friends. When they mentioned you, they all praised you, saying that you are young and promising, generous, and empathetic.
, When I saw him today, he looked really extraordinary."
"Who are you?" Li Wei couldn't help but interrupt his eloquence.
The fat man laughed and slapped his bald head and said, "I was so excited when I saw you that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lu Juncai. Please take care of me."
He said and handed over a gold-gilded business card with both hands.
This place in South China is really evil. We were talking about this guy just now, and now he is here.
Li Wei glanced at the business card and saw the title "General Manager of Henan Huanyu International Stationery Trading Company" printed on it. Li Wei almost couldn't help but laugh. Damn it, give it back to Huanyu International Trading Company? The general manager is so virtuous.
At first glance, it looks like a leather bag company.
Li Wei asked impatiently: "What do you want from me?"
Lu Juncai sat on the chair in front of the boss's desk and said: "Our company intends to expand the market in South China. Our products have absolutely favorable prices. This is the price list of the main products we operate."
As he spoke, he took out a crudely printed leaflet from his wallet and handed it to Li Wei.
Li Wei took it and took a look. The price printed on it was too ridiculous. It was not ridiculously low, but ridiculously high. Is this an absolute discount?
Lu Juncai said: "Our company plans to hire you as our company's market development consultant in South China, with an annual salary of 200,000. To express our sincerity, I will pay you one year's salary in advance now."
As he spoke, he opened his large leather bag, took out a bulging document bag, and pushed it in front of Li Wei.
Li Wei looked at Lu Juncai coldly and said, "Your company is really rich. You can get it for 200,000 yuan at a time."
Lu Juncai said: "Our company is very generous to talents who have made special contributions to the company."
Li Wei said in a sarcastic tone: "This 200,000 cannot be taken in vain. I have to do something for your company?"
Lu Juncai said: "What you need to do is very simple. Just introduce me to the principal under your control on an appropriate occasion. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Li Wei thought to himself: This guy has a big appetite. He not only focused on the office supplies of the Education Bureau, but also the office supplies of various schools. He sneered and said: "Don't you think you are bribing government workers now?"
Is that so? This is a naked crime! Aren’t you afraid that I will sue you?”
Lu Juncai smiled obscenely and said: "Director Li is joking, if you don't need any money, we can also provide other benefits. Our company's public relations lady is..."
"Get out! Take your things and get out of here!"
Lu Juncai's shameless face completely angered Li Wei. He picked up the document bag on the table and threw it to him, pointing at the door and yelling.
Lu Juncai caught the money, held it in his arms, and still said, "Director Li, don't be angry. You can make any conditions you want."
Li Wei dialed a number on the plane and asked the doorman to come up immediately.
When Lu Jun saw Director Li calling the doorman, he realized that he was really angry. He ran out in a panic holding the money and wallet.
As soon as he left, the guard Lao Wang came in. Seeing that the director looked unkind, he cautiously asked: "Director, are you looking for me?"
Li Wei asked angrily: "Do you know that person just now?"
The guard said: "I don't know him."
Li Wei said angrily: "How did he get in? Did he register? From now on, no salesperson like this can be let in. Do you hear me?"
The guard, Lao Wang, lowered his head and said, "I heard it."
After the guard left, Li Wei called Fang Dexin, the chief of the finance department, and asked: "Are our bureau's office supplies always provided by Huaming Mall?"
Fang Dexin said: "Yes, the payment bureau signed a supply contract with them at the beginning of this year."
Li Wei asked: "Has the contract expired?"
Fang Dexin said: "No, we signed a one-year contract with them."
Li Wei asked: "Then why haven't you bought goods from Huaming recently?"
Fang Dexin was stunned for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Director Geng said that there is something wrong with Hua Ming's products..."
Li Wei said: "Do you know that contracts are protected by law? If there is a problem with the product, you can ask the merchant to exchange it. If we change the supplier without authorization, we will be subject to lawsuit."
Fang Dexin said: "I also tried to persuade Director Geng in this way, but Director Geng had a very bad temper..."
Li Wei said: "In this case, you take someone to Huaming to have a look and see if there are any problems with their products. If there are problems, you can point them out and let them improve. If there are no problems, we will resolutely implement the contract. We are a department of the government.
Have integrity.”
Fang Dexin said: "I will take people to see it now. I think there should be no problem."
"This is the best!" Li Wei suddenly said with a half-smile, "It seems that the Bureau is in charge of general education."
Fang Dexin did not speak. He knew that Director Geng's behavior had aroused Director Li's dissatisfaction. Also, Director Geng's hands were stretched too far. Finance and personnel were matters that must be handled by the top leader. How could others get involved?
