Chapter 144
The Jiangdu Hotel at night is very lively. As a famous five-star hotel in Jiangdu, the Jiangdu Hotel is also a designated hotel for the province to receive foreign guests.
After get off work, Zhou Shunmin brought his secretary Chang Yongxing over. When he got off the bus, Zhou Shunmin was still talking to Chang Yongxing. He vaguely remembered that Ye Tian seemed to be very concerned about Chang Yongxing. Although it was just a intuition, it did not prevent him from discussing Ye Tian with Chang Yongxing. Chang Yongxing was a person he trusted very much. Zhou Shunmin rarely cared about when talking to Chang Yongxing.
"Xiao Chang, if you have the chance, you can have more contact with Ye Tian. You are not much different from him, so you should have a common language and it is easier to contact. I think he seems to pay great attention to you." Zhou Shunmin said as he walked into the hotel.
"Director, I'll try my best." Chang Yongxing smiled bitterly, and he vaguely felt that Ye Tian had paid more attention to him.
When Zhou Shunmin arrived at Ye Tian's private room, when Zhou Shunmin entered, Ye Tian was already waiting in advance. After entering the door, Zhou Shunmin first looked around the entire private room. After seeing that only Ye Tian was alone, Zhou Shunmin was a little disappointed. If Li Zhongcheng was there, Zhou Shunmin would feel that this trip tonight would be even more worth it.
"Zhou Hall, you are here. Thank you for taking the time to come here in your busy schedule. I am very grateful." Ye Tianyi saw Zhou Shunmin, smiled and stood up to greet him, saying nice scenes.
"Xiao Ye, be polite." Zhou Shunmin sat down at Ye Tian's invitation with a smile.
Ye Tian looked at Chang Yongxing beside him and smiled, "This is Secretary Chang, please sit down."
Chang Yongxing smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at his leader. With the leader's approval, he took his seat and looked at Ye Tian secretly. Chang Yongxing also became a little interested in this young man two or three years younger than him, but the leader was present. Without his part, Chang Yongxing just sat quietly.
"Xiao Ye, are you the only one tonight?" Zhou Shunmin suddenly asked.
"I'm treating Zhou Shunmin tonight, of course I'm the only one." Ye Tian smiled and glanced at Zhou Shunmin, "What, do you think Zhou Shunmin think there will be anyone else?"
"No, I'm just asking casually." Zhou Shunmin waved his hand with a smile.
Ye Tian ordered a few hotel signature dishes and asked Zhou Shunmin what wine he wanted to drink. Zhou Shunmin shook his head and said he would not drink it. Ye Tian also gave up easily. He was observing Zhou Shunmin, and Zhou Shunmin was also examining him. Zhou Shunmin didn't have to guess and knew that Ye Tian would not invite him to dinner for no reason. He didn't take the initiative to speak, waiting for Ye Tian to speak. If Ye Tian didn't say it, he would just pretend that nothing was wrong. In fact, Zhou Shunmin didn't have to think too much and knew that Ye Tian was probably looking for him. He was the deputy director of the Finance Department, but for anyone who looked for him, nine out of ten came to him for money, but it was just asking for funds from the province. Zhou Shunmin had already experienced too much.
The two of them had their own thoughts. When the hotel food came up, Ye Tian greeted Zhou Shunmin and Chang Yongxing to activate their chopsticks. Seeing Zhou Shunmin sitting there, Ye Tian knew that when he met this old fox who had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, he would not speak. Zhou Shunmin would never speak. Taking advantage of the time of greeting each other, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Zhou Hall, I am not hiding it. I have something to ask you tonight."
"Oh?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian in surprise.
He murmured in his heart that Zhou Shunmin was really capable of pretending. Ye Tian smiled and said, "Zhou Hall, our Tsinghuan County is a poor county. This time I came to Zhou Hall. To be honest, I came to Zhou Hall for support."
"Hey, Xiao Ye, I met you at the Ji'an Municipal Finance Bureau last time. Didn't you work in the Ji'an Women's Federation?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian in confusion. This time, he was really surprised, "What did you say about Tsinghua and Taipei County? Have you been transferred there?"
"Zhou Hall is right. I have been transferred to Tsinghua and Taipei County. It's a lot of plans. It's less than half a month since you transferred it. The last time you met me, I was indeed at the Ji'an Women's Federation." Ye Tian nodded with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Zhou Shunmin suddenly realized and looked at Ye Tian thoughtfully. Zhou Shunmin said with interest, "Xiao Ye, it's good. It's great for young people to go to the grassroots level to train more. What position have you transferred to Tsinghua and Taipei County?"
"Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Qingbei County." Ye Tian said calmly.
"Cecretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Zhou Shunmin was startled and stared at Ye Tian. The expression on Zhou Shunmin's face was no longer as simple as strange. Looking at Ye Tian for a long time, Zhou Shunmin said for a while, "Xiao Ye, very good, very young and promising."
Ye Tian smiled undeniably. He was more willing to hear the other party give him tens of millions of dollars than Zhou Shunmin's words of praise. Tens of millions are a considerable amount of money for Tsinghua and Peking University County, but Ye Tian believed that this was not too difficult for Zhou Shunmin, the deputy director of the Finance Department, assuming that the other party was willing to help.
"Zhou Hall, our county's finances have been underpaid. Several projects that do practical things for the people have affected the progress of the progress due to funds. The county really has no money. I thought I had met Zhou Hall twice, so I took the liberty to come to Zhou Hall. I think Zhou Hall wouldn't mind." Ye Tian always maintained a faint smile on his face.
"Xiao Ye, your county is really interesting. These things should be the things that the secretary and the county magistrate are worried about. Why is it that you, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, came out to find money?" Zhou Shunmin smiled and did not respond to Ye Tian's words positively.
"There is no way. I am also a member of the county leadership team. The county has difficulties. As one of the leading cadres, I also have the obligation and responsibility to help." Ye Tian said with a smile.
"You are right. I can't tell that Xiao Ye, you are still so conscious." Zhou Shunmin smiled and called out, not mentioning money. He, the deputy director, didn't give it to anyone who asked for money, and did not refuse directly. Ye Tian looked for him, and he came to him with great face. Even if he knew that Ye Tian was not as good as the one who came to him for money, he still went to the banquet. This was mainly for the face of Li Zhongcheng, the number one secret secret in Tiannan. Otherwise, he would never have come out to have a meal with someone who had only two-faced relationships.
Of course, Zhou Shunmin cannot deny Ye Tian's identity also made him quite interested. The first time he met, the other party was having dinner with Li Zhongcheng. Although the second time was a chance encounter, he also made him realize that Ye Tian was actually the vice chairman of the Ji'an Women's Federation. Although his unit was inconspicuous, he was a real deputy division-level cadre. When he met again, Ye Tian had become the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Tsinghua University. Although Tsinghua University was a poor county, Zhou Shunmin felt something unusual after Ye Tian's promotion and transfer. At this moment, Zhou Shunmin became more and more interested in Ye Tian. If Ye Tian is worthy of his face, what's wrong with him helping Ye Tian.
"Director Zhou, I wonder if the Provincial Department of Finance can give our county some financial subsidies." Seeing that Zhou Shunmin didn't respond positively, Ye Tian simply made the words clear.
"Xiao Ye, you should know that money is very sensitive. It's not that I don't help you, it's that this matter is difficult to deal with. The province's finances are too many monks and less porridge. There are eleven cities in Tiannan Province, and where there is no difficulty in their own? If I respond to your affairs today, others will know about it, and they will scream poor and come to ask for money. What do you think of this? So it's not that I will help you or not, but that I can't open this hole privately." Zhou Shunmin said helplessly.
"What Zhou Hall said makes sense, but I believe in one more sentence: the matter is done by humans. Do you think Zhou Hall?" Ye Tian looked at Zhou Shunmin with a smile. Zhou Shunmin kept complaining and emphasized difficulties. Ye Tian believed that the other party could help this, and it would be difficult. Either they didn't want to help, or they wanted to sell favors bigger later. Zhou Shunmin would choose the former or the latter, it depends on whether he had enough ability to make Zhou Shunmin sell his face.
"Xiao Ye, you are right, but you should know that reality is difficult." Zhou Shunmin smiled calmly. The topic changed, "By the way, Xiao Ye, are you very familiar with Secretary Li?"
"Fortunately, I'm more familiar than ordinary friends." Ye Tian smiled slightly and when he answered Zhou Shunmin's words, Ye Tian calmly made a move to look at the time.
Zhou Shunmin didn't pay attention to Ye Tian's actions. Ye Tian's words made his smile more. "It's more familiar than ordinary friends, that's the relationship is pretty good. Xiao Ye. Why don't you invite Secretary Li to dinner tonight?"
"Tonight is mainly a banquet for you in Zhou Hall. I'm afraid that calling others will be disrespectful to you in Zhou Hall." Ye Tian smiled.
"No, no, how could it be? There are so many people, no, Xiao Ye, why don't you call Secretary Li to see if he is free? I think he should be finished now." Zhou Shunmin smiled enthusiastically.
"Zhou Hall, no problem, I'll fight later, but our main business has not been finished yet. Should we finish the main business first?" Ye Tian smiled, "Zhou Hall, our county is indeed poor. It was originally planned to build a park so that the people can have a leisure place after dinner. This is also for the sake of the people. But you see, the county is poor, and the budget for building a park is 70 million, and the county is so poor that it can't even take out a penny. This is why I can't go to the province to ask for support. Should the province consider giving us some support to poor counties like Tsinghua and Bei County as appropriate?"
"Xiao Ye, you are really making things difficult for me. If you want 70 million, it is absolutely impossible." Zhou Shunmin waved his hands repeatedly, and this time he was very firm.
"Zhou Hall, I dare not ask for 70 million. Otherwise, can the hall give us 50 million yuan in funding?" Ye Tian stretched out his hand and compared.
"Xiao Ye, that's impossible, not 50 million." Zhou Shunmin shook his head firmly.
"Zhou Hall, how much support do you think the hall can give us at most?" Ye Tian asked back.
"At most, 10 million." Zhou Shunmin said calmly. For him, the deputy director, it is not difficult to help Ye Tian get a 10 million yuan fund. This is also something he can help. If there are more, Zhou Shunmin doesn't want to make that effort.
"Zhou Hall, why don't you think this is true? Is it okay to have 30 million?" Ye Tian licked his smile. He had to be shameless when he wanted money. Ye Tian would be fully exerting his shameless spirit.
"Xiao Ye, I want to help you. If you do this, I will be helpless." Zhou Shunmin glanced at Ye Tian and wanted to get up. "Xiao Ye, I have eaten this meal, and I think I should leave."
"Oh, Zhou Hall, if you leave so early, then you won't be able to touch Secretary Li when he comes? Actually, I just concealed something. Secretary Li is going to come here in the evening, but Secretary Li is a busy person. You know that he is following Secretary Tang, and he can't leave anything about Secretary Tang, so he promised me to come later in the evening." Ye Tian smiled.
Zhou Shunmin was stunned for a moment, stared at Ye Tian for a moment, and he had already stood up and sat down again, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, "Xiao Ye, I didn't expect Secretary Li to really give you face."
"Fortunately, Secretary Li has always been very proud of me. No matter what Secretary Li can help me, he has ever said anything." Ye Tian said something.
"Xiao Ye, you are very good, you can't tell that you have such a big face." Zhou Shunmin narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Tian.
"Zhou Hall, you have been too much of a prize. I really feel ashamed. The main reason is that Secretary Li is willing to give face." Ye Tian smiled modestly, "Zhou Hall, can you see if the hall can give us 30 million yuan in funding?"
"Twenty million." Zhou Shunmin spoke calmly. He saw Ye Tian's pretentious behavior. Zhou Shunmin did not refuse at this moment. With the best of his ability, he used Ye Tian and Li Zhongcheng to establish a friendship. Zhou Shunmin was willing to do so.
"Zhou Hall, why not 25 million?" Ye Tian laughed. He was now in a dilemma, and a penny would be fine.
"Xiao Ye, you are really..." Zhou Shunmin looked at Ye Tian with a lot of laughter and cry, "I think we are almost bargaining vegetable vendors in the vegetable market."
