Cao Xiaoan has never been very involved with people in the officialdom. In the past, except for doing things for Tang Aimin wholeheartedly, he basically never participated in other things. The officialdom is about running around and making connections for his own career, or in other words, However, Cao Xiaoan has never done this before, and has always given Ye Shaofeng the impression of being down-to-earth. Unfortunately, with Tang Aimin, he can only let others use him as a gun, and he has no chance to display his own abilities. .
Today, Cao Xiaoan took the initiative to call Ye Shaofeng and asked him to treat Ye Shaofeng to a drink. This was really unexpected. Could it be that Cao Xiaoan wanted to thank Ye Shaofeng for visiting his mother when Ye Shaofeng was undergoing surgery.
In the evening, Ye Shaofeng went to the Dihao Nightclub. The parking lot was crowded with luxury cars. Ye Shaofeng's very cool Mercedes-Benz G65 could only be regarded as a member of the general public here, such as a Land Rover Escape, a Porsche Cayenne, and a Grand Cherokee. There are everything from Hummers to Land Cruisers here, and there are even some private cars that you can tell are smuggled in at a glance. Those who drive such cars are basically gangsters in society, although the gangsters don’t have that much money. , not as wealthy as the real big boss, but gangsters like to enjoy themselves, and what they care about is face, so even if they spend the black money they earned in a month in one night, they are still willing to come here to spend it.
Even though Ye Shaofeng’s annual salary is several million, he still rarely comes to places like this. It’s not that Ye Shaofeng is reluctant to spend money, it’s just that Ye Shaofeng feels that it’s not worthwhile to spend money in such a place. In terms of luxury, this place is the same as Wang Zheng in the capital. The Longtang Guild Hall is still a level lower, even compared to the Wu'an County, Luyang City, Huang Zhao, which has evolved from a bathing center to the current one-stop entertainment and leisure hotel. The key is, in If you play at your brother's place, you don't have to pay out of your own pocket. If you play here, you have to spend money. It's really not worth it.
Furthermore, if you come here to play, you are likely to meet acquaintances. If you meet people from the officialdom, it will inevitably be a bit embarrassing. If people see that the executive deputy governor is here to play, then there will be no one. The role of benchmark.
This time, Ye Shaofeng went alone, which was an exception.
Ye Shaofeng went directly to a KTV private room on the third floor. The lights in the room were dazzling and very bright. On the screen, a famous song by a deceased Hong Kong female singer was playing, with a beautiful and melodious voice.
"Governor Ye, you are here," Cao Xiaoan said excitedly.
"Come out and have fun, don't use this title, just call me whatever you want," Ye Shaofeng said as he walked inside.
He found that there was not only Cao Xiaoan in the private room, but also two other people. Ye Shaofeng had also seen these two people. One was Cao Xiaoan's sister and the other was Cao Xiaoan's brother-in-law. Cao Xiaoan took the couple with him Come on, what are we going to do with this preparation?
"Governor Ye today... no, I, Cao Xiaoan, am really grateful that Mr. Ye can come, I can't thank you enough," Cao Xiaoan said politely.
"Secretary Cao came to see me. If I didn't come, I would be very ignorant of the rules," Ye Shaofeng said with a smile, nodding towards Cao Xiaoan's sister and brother-in-law.
"Mr. Ye, I really want to thank you this time," Cao Xiaoan said again.
"Thank me for nothing," Ye Shaofeng said.
"When my mother was undergoing surgery, you personally went to see me. This moved our whole family very much. You, a dignified governor, actually visited my mother. This was something that I, a little secretary, couldn't bear," Cao Xiao An said.
"No matter where we are, we are all comrades in the trenches. When one side is in trouble, all parties support us. What's more, our entire organization knows that you, Cao Xiaoan, are a filial son. To put it bluntly, your mother is the backbone of your work. The so-called... After knowing that your mother is sick, I will definitely rush there as soon as possible," Ye Shaofeng said.
"You gave me so many days off. Governor Tang didn't... didn't blame you..." Cao Xiaoan asked hesitantly.
"Haha, this is between us. You can just do your job well. By the way, it has been more than a month, almost two months. How is your mother's illness? How is your mother's illness now? Are you in the hospital?"
"No, I was discharged from the hospital last week and went home to rest. Now my sister stays with my mother 24 hours a day, and I also hired a senior nurse," Cao Xiaoan said.
"That's good, that's good. The old man is fine. It's a blessing for us as juniors. When the time comes, I'm almost busy with the work at hand, and I will definitely visit my old mother in person," Ye Shaofeng said.
Although this is just a polite word, whether you really want to go or not is another matter, but as a leader, he can say such heart-warming words, which makes Cao Xiaoan feel grateful again. Cao Xiaoan said the words of gratitude. , Cao Xiaoan's sister and brother-in-law also said some flattering words in a somewhat reserved manner.
Because Ye Shaofeng was a senior official, Cao Xiaoan did not dare to persuade him to drink. However, when he went out to drink, someone had to drink. Therefore, Cao Xiaoan kept holding up the glass and drinking it himself. A secretary like him has a good drinking capacity. Secretary Sometimes I just have to go out and fend off the leader's drinking, so I have already developed my drinking tolerance.
Cao Xiaoan and Ye Shaofeng basically drank three cups to one cup, and Cao Xiaoan's sister and brother-in-law also followed. Overall, the scene was very harmonious.
But Ye Shaofeng knew that when Cao Xiaoan asked him to come here this time, it would definitely not be just for drinking or just thanking him, but there would definitely be other things involved, and these other things would definitely have something to do with his sister and brother-in-law.
During the third round of the tavern, Cao Xiaoan got a little too high. Even if he drank one cup at a time, Cao Xiaoan was no match for Ye Shaofeng. Besides, Cao Xiaoan still drank three cups against Ye Shaofeng's cup. Ye Shaofeng was still very sober and nothing happened. , Cao Xiaoan was already a little excited by alcohol.
"Governor Ye, I...I came to see you today. Actually, I want to ask you for something," Cao Xiaoan said.
"Oh, tell me what it is, and if I can do my best, I can help you," Ye Shaofeng said.
"Governor Ye, my sister is currently taking care of my mother whole-heartedly. She has already taken an internal retirement from her job, but the family cannot live without a stable income. Therefore, their family of three relies on my brother-in-law's salary alone. I My brother-in-law is in his 40s and almost 50s this year. He has been working in the Planning Bureau since he first started working. He has been working there for more than 20 years. But now, he is still a small section chief. Originally, he had a small section chief this time. Chance was transferred to the office as the deputy director, but unexpectedly he was framed by an old fox in their unit, and almost lost his job. Fortunately, the matter was eventually smoothed over by finding a relationship, but my brother-in-law has changed from a person who is about to become a The deputy director's section chief has now become a temporary staff member of the Planning Bureau, which is almost the same as internal retirement.
What happened to my brother-in-law has made things worse for their family. They still have two daughters. Now one is in college and the other is in high school. In addition, the family has to buy a house and has a loan. They are all using money. Tell me. , that old fox caused such a drama, how will my sister and her family live in the future? They are obviously a well-off family, but now, they can't even meet the standard of food and clothing." Cao Xiaoan complained to Ye Shaofeng for a long time, and even regarded Ye Shaofeng as a Whatever his closest relatives said, there was nothing he could hide from Ye Shaofeng.
Cao Xiaoan said these words and Ye Shaofeng knew well that this boy came to seek help from his brother-in-law in order to find a job. Ordinarily, this kind of matter can be solved easily by asking Tang Aimin. With his working relationship with Tang Aimin, Tang Aimin would definitely not stand idly by, but instead of looking for Tang Aimin, he came to find Ye Shaofeng. What does this mean? It means that in Cao Xiaoan's heart, Ye Shaofeng seems to be more reliable and more able to support himself than Tang Aimin.
It is not a difficult task for Ye Shaofeng to reinstate Cao Xiaoan's brother-in-law. Anyway, provincial planning is also the responsibility of Ye Shaofeng, the executive deputy governor. All local planning bureaus, including the provincial planning department, have Ye Shaofeng's influence. Ye Shaofeng's words definitely have enough weight.
At that time, Ye Shaofeng also expressed his position immediately and said: "Secretary Cao, this matter needs to be investigated further. When I investigate clearly, I will definitely give your brother-in-law justice. But don't worry, I have a strong foundation in planning. Since you Cao The secretary said, I, Ye Shaofeng, must do my best,"
Cao Xiaoan could tell that the first half of Ye Shaofeng's sentence was a slap in the face and was purely an official cliché. The second half of the sentence was an answer to himself, indicating that there was definitely something to be done about this matter. As long as Ye Shaofeng took action, there was nothing that could not be done.
Cao Xiaoan gave his brother-in-law a look, and the dull-looking man quickly went up to toast Ye Shaofeng. He said some beautiful flattering words in his mouth. Although they were full of words, they were very explicit and could be heard immediately. , this kind of flattering language that can be heard immediately will make people disgusted if you hear it too much. Moreover, Ye Shaofeng definitely doesn't like flattering people around him.
But he still smiled and drank the other party's toast.
After staying in Dihao for more than an hour, Ye Shaofeng didn't want to stay in this place for a long time. He said that he had something to do and had to leave first. Seeing that Ye Shaofeng was about to leave, Cao Xiaoan's sister hurried over and secretly gave Ye Shaofeng a bank card.
Ye Shaofeng waved his hands away and said, "What do you mean? My relationship with Xiao An will not lead to this routine."
"Governor Ye, although I am not a member of the officialdom, we all understand the rules of the officialdom. You will definitely accept this little thought."
"Don't embarrass me. I said that I still need to investigate further about the right and wrong of your husband's matter. What is black can never be whitened, and what is white can never be blackened. Don't worry about this. As long as you act righteously, I will You have the responsibility to stand up for him, so please accept this thing quickly, we don't need to pay attention to the formality of this summary," Ye Shaofeng said seriously.
Seeing that Ye Shaofeng showed an unhappy expression, Cao Xiaoan quickly came up to smooth things over and said: "Sister, what are you doing? Who do you think Governor Ye is? Put this away quickly. This rule is not ours. It doesn’t work in front of Governor Ye,”
Cao Xiaoan spoke eloquently, finally resolving the embarrassment. Then, the three of them sent Ye Shaofeng out of the Dihao Nightclub. As they walked out, Cao Xiaoan paid the bill. Ye Shaofeng heard the bar lady counting: "Five thousand eight, "
I just drank a few bottles of wine and sat for a while, and spent 5,800 yuan. This place is really expensive. If you ask the lady here to show off, it is estimated to be tens of thousands a night. This charging standard is similar to Wang Zheng's Longtang Guild Hall in the capital is basically the same, but what is the consumption level in the capital and what is the consumption level in the provincial capital? Besides, the quality of the girls here is too far behind. Inside the Longtang Guild Hall There are Russian girls, one is prettier than the other, and they are all highly educated. The girls there don’t just pay for sex. You have to fall in love with them and have money before this girl will follow you. Walk.
The next day, Ye Shaofeng really investigated the matter of Cao Xiaoan's brother-in-law, and specially asked Wang Xuemin, director of the Provincial Planning Department, to ask about Cao Xiaoan's brother-in-law.
When Wang Xuemin heard this, his expression changed and he said: "It turns out that what the governor wants to inquire about is Guo Quanhai's matter. His matter has had a very bad impact on our planning system."
"You mean, this Guo Quanhai was not framed," Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Framing, who would frame a man who is almost in his fifties, and he is still a small section chief? Is it necessary to frame him?" After saying this, Wang Xuemin realized that he was a little embarrassed when speaking in front of the leader. He was rash and quickly said: "Comrade Guo Quanhai basically did nothing during his tenure and was chaotic. Therefore, he will not provoke any enemies. It is definitely not a frame-up. If Governor Ye doesn't believe it, he can investigate this matter himself. ,"
"I came to you just to investigate this matter. Continue to tell me how he was demoted," Ye Shaofeng said seriously. As a leader, sometimes you have to show your majesty in front of your subordinates. Otherwise, if you cannot control your subordinates, you will be laughed at, and your position will begin to waver.
Wang Xuemin immediately became serious and said seriously: "Comrade Guo Quanhai heard the news from nowhere, saying that the deputy director of the Office of the Provincial Urban Planning Bureau was going to be transferred, so he immediately went to give a gift to the director, hoping that the director could help him. Get him up, but the transfer of the deputy director is completely groundless. Although the Provincial Urban Planning Bureau has made a lot of rumors, few people really believe it. As long as this Guo Quanhai believes it, he even wants to publicly bribe the director. "
