What surprised Ma Xiaoyao was that Li Ming didn't pay attention to him, but went straight to Wu Qinghe's seat and sat down, and then said calmly: "I'm a little thirsty, go get me a cup of tea."
Wu Qinghe nodded immediately: "I'll go right away." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Stop." Li Ming suddenly shouted.
"Uh... Deputy Director Li, do you have any other instructions?" Wu Qinghe stopped and looked at Li Ming doubtfully.
Li Ming glanced at Wu Qinghe: "Did I ask you to pour me tea?"
"Ah...I..." Wu Qinghe was stunned for a moment.
Li Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Xiaoyao: "Go and pour me some tea!"
Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched, turned around and walked to the water dispenser, picked up an empty paper cup, put some tea leaves, then filled it with hot water and came back: "Deputy Director Li, the tea is ready." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao
He gently placed the paper cup in front of Li Ming.
Li Ming picked up the paper cup, blew the hot air, then put it to his mouth and took a sip slowly: "Pfft!" Li Ming directly sprayed out all the tea he drank in his mouth, and sprayed it all over Ma Xiaoyao,
Li Ming threw the paper cup to the ground and shouted loudly: "What the hell is tea? It tastes so bad!"
Ma Xiaoyao's face turned green with anger. The tea was not drinkable. This was all Li Ming's excuse. To put it bluntly, Li Ming was deliberately making things difficult for Ma Xiaoyao. If he hadn't worried that this was the Health Bureau, Ma Xiaoyao would have pounced on him and ruthlessly
I gave Li Ming a good beating.
Wu Qinghe also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Ah...Deputy Director Li, don't be angry, I'll get you some tea right now."
"No, I don't want to drink tea now!" Li Ming snorted.
"Then...what would you like to drink?" Wu Qinghe asked cautiously.
Li Ming rolled his eyes: "I want to drink Coke."
"Ah...we don't have Coke here..." Wu Qinghe said with a bitter face.
Li Ming frowned: "You don't want to buy Coke if you don't have it?"
"Okay... okay, I'll go buy it now. Go buy it." Wu Qinghe was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Ming again. Wu Qinghe looked at Li Ming with a puzzled face: "Deputy Director Li, don't you want to
Do you want a Coke?"
Li Ming pointed at Ma Xiaoyao, who was turning blue: "Let him go out and buy it."
"This...Deputy Director Li, it's better for me to go." Wu Qinghe said with an apologetic smile.
"What? Is it difficult for me to speak now?" Li Ming's face darkened.
"No, how dare we disobey Deputy Director Li's order..." Wu Qinghe was stopped by Ma Xiaoyao just as he was mid-sentence.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath: "I'm going to buy a Coke." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao turned around and walked out of the office hall.
Li Ming sneered and said secretly: Brat, if you dare to fight with me, I won't kill you!
A few minutes later, Ma Xiaoyao came back with a bottle of Coca-Cola: "Deputy Director Li, I bought the Coke." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao put the Coke on the table.
Li Ming glanced at Coca-Cola, frowned immediately, glared at Ma Xiaoyao and shouted: "Who asked you to buy this?"
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Don't you want to drink Coke?"
"Who said I want to drink Coke? What I want to drink is Sprite!" Li Ming shouted.
Ma Xiaoyao's face suddenly darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Deputy Director Li, you just said clearly that you wanted to drink Coke, everyone heard it."
"Who heard that?" Li Ming raised his head, glanced around the staff, and said sternly: "Who just heard me talking about drinking Coke? Stand up for me!"
Everyone lowered their heads, no one dared to stand up and help Ma Xiaoyao prove that everyone was not a fool, and they would not offend Deputy Director Li Ming for Ma Xiaoyao.
"Ma Xiaoyao, did you see it? No one proved that I wanted to drink Coke just now... You heard it wrong! Now give me another bottle of Sprite!" Li Ming said with a proud smile, he was sure about food safety.
The staff of the department did not dare to go against him, so they punished Ma Xiaoyao confidently.
Ma Xiaoyao's lungs were about to burst with anger. He clenched his fists tightly. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
At this time, Wu Qinghe, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke: "Deputy Director Li... what you just wanted was Coke..."
"What did you say?! Tell me again!" Li Ming glared at Wu Qinghe, his eyes sharp and terrifying.
Wu Qinghe's face twitched and he repeated what he just said: "Deputy Director Li, you did want Coke just now. Ma Xiaoyao didn't buy it wrong, you just remembered it wrong."
"You...you..." Li Ming was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect that a small department employee would dare to challenge him. This was simply contempt for the authority of his deputy director.
Ma Xiaoyao cast a grateful look at Wu Qinghe. At this moment, Wu Qinghe stepped forward to speak for him, which made Ma Xiaoyao very touched. There are still honest and selfless people in this world.
"Oh, Deputy Director Li, why are you free to come to my small department today to guide the work?" Section Chief Sun Datong suddenly walked in from outside, saw Li Ming at a glance, and immediately came over quickly.
"Oh, Section Chief Sun." Li Ming was relatively polite to Sun Datong.
"Deputy Director Li, come to my office to talk. I bought some good tea yesterday, just for you to try." Sun Datong invited.
"Don't rush to enjoy the tea now." Li Ming waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Chief Sun, the staff in your department openly contradicted me. How should we deal with this matter?"
Sun Datong was stunned, and then said angrily: "Who dares to contradict Deputy Director Li?!"
Li Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Xiaoyao and Wu Qinghe: "That's the two of them."
Sun Datong's face darkened: "Old Wu, Ma Xiaoyao, why do you want to contradict Deputy Director Li!"
Wu Qinghe said hurriedly: "Chief Sun, this is all a misunderstanding. Just now, Deputy Director Li said he wanted to drink Coke, so Ma Xiaoyao went out to buy it. Unexpectedly, after buying it, Deputy Director Li said he wanted to drink Sprite..." Wu Qinghe
He told what happened in detail, without adding any exaggeration or deliberately concealing anything.
After listening to Wu Qinghe's story and looking at the water stains and tea leaves on Ma Xiaoyao's clothes, Sun Datong understood in his heart that it was Li Ming who was causing trouble for a long time. In any case, Wu Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao
They are all section members under him. As the section chief, he has the obligation to protect them. Sun Datong glared at Wu Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao: "Why don't you two apologize to Deputy Director Li Nian!" After saying that, Sun Datong faced Wu Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao.
Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao winked.
In order not to make things difficult for Sun Datong, Wu Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao could only reluctantly apologize to Li Ming. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao was quite upset. Ma Xiaoyao had never suffered this kind of thing since he was a child.
Feeling cowardly, Ma Xiaoyao now truly understands how difficult it is to get along in officialdom. Just now, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but fall out with Li Ming, and then resign. But when he finally thought of Gu Li's expectations, Ma Xiaoyao
Xiaoyao suppressed his anger forcefully, and Ma Xiaoyao told himself: A gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years. Let Li Ming be proud now. When he finds an opportunity later, he must make Li Ming pay a heavy price.
"Deputy Director Li, after all, this is all a misunderstanding. Don't get along with them." Sun Datong personally interceded on behalf of Wu Qinghe and Ma Xiaoyao.
Li Ming doesn't want to kill Ma Xiaoyao all at once. He wants to torture Ma Xiaoyao slowly, making Ma Xiaoyao unable to survive or die. Today's torment is almost done. It's time to stop. Li Ming nodded: "Okay,
For the sake of Section Chief Sun, I will not argue with them today."
"Oh, I knew that Deputy Director Li was the most generous." Sun Datong complimented: "Deputy Director Li, please go to my office now and try the new tea I bought."
This time, Li Ming did not refuse, stood up, and followed Sun Datong into the section chief's office.
Seeing Li Ming leave, the staff of the Food Safety Department breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Angkor, thank you for speaking for me." Ma Xiaoyao said gratefully.
Wu Qinghe waved his hand: "You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth... Well, Ma Xiaoyao, is there something going on between you and Deputy Director Li?"
Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "There is a festival..." Ma Xiaoyao briefly explained the friction between himself and Li Ming.
"No wonder, no wonder Deputy Director Li deliberately targeted you. It turns out you have offended him... Ma Xiaoyao, Deputy Director Li is very vindictive. You have to be careful in the future." Wu Qinghe said with concern.
"You also contradicted Li Ming today, and he probably won't let you go easily." Ma Xiaoyao said worriedly.
"Haha..." Wu Qinghe smiled nonchalantly: "I will retire in a few years, so I won't be afraid of Deputy Director Li's revenge. He can't fire me for no reason, right?"
"Anyway, you have to be careful, I'm worried that Li Ming will plot against you behind your back." Ma Xiaoyao said still worried.
"Li Ming is just a deputy director. He can't rule the roost in the Health Bureau. If he really dares to scheme against me, I will go directly to Director Ding to complain! Director Ding is a fair man and will definitely uphold justice for me!" Wu Qinghe snorted.
Judging from his posture, Wu Qinghe probably didn't know that Li Ming's father was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, so he wasn't too afraid.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head. Director Ding Dawei probably wouldn't dare to offend Li Ming. After all, Li Ming's father is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. In Lanhai City, few people would dare to offend Li Ming. However, Ma Xiaoyao didn't want to tell Wu Qinghe these words.
, so as not to frighten Wu Qinghe.
…
Section Chief's Office.
Li Ming sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in his hand and slowly took a sip: "Well, it tastes good, it is indeed good tea."
Seeing the smile on Li Ming's face, Sun Datong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chief Sun, when did that Ma Xiaoyao outside come to the Food Safety Department?" Li Ming asked calmly.
"Well... I just came here today." Sun Datong replied.
"Chief Sun, this Ma Xiaoyao is frivolous and impetuous at work. He needs to be tempered." Li Ming put the tea cup on the coffee table.
