Liu Rulin, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Kaoshan Town, has been in a good mood these two days. He hums a little tune and walks with a breeze.
Because Party Secretary Ye Xiaotao promised to promote him to be the director of the Approval Hall Management Office.
After so many years, he finally took a step up. Liu Rulin was so happy to think that he could serve as the head of a section chief before retiring.
In the afternoon, he ran to Ye Xiaotao's office and asked him again when he would be allowed to take up the post in the approval hall. Due to years of alcoholism, he was irritable and impatient. He waited for several days without hearing any news and could not hold back any longer.
He swaggered into Ye Xiaotao's office holding a glass thermos cup. Seeing that Ye Xiaotao was alone in the room, he sat down in front of Ye Xiaotao with a smile on his face.
Ye Xiaotao knew why he came, and before he could ask, he smiled and said, "Why? Can't wait? Don't you know that good things take time?"
Liu Rulin grinned and said, "You know my temper. I don't want to wait even a day longer. Secretary Ye, if you are not busy, give Secretary Liu a call and ask when my matter can be announced."
Ye Xiaotao raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "Is it worth asking Secretary Liu about such a small matter?...Okay, I'll call Minister Shen to ask, after all, he was the one who handled your matter."
Liu Rulin slapped his forehead and laughed, "Hey, how could I forget that Minister Shen gave me 50,000 yuan to get the job done!"
Hearing about money, Ye Xiaotao frowned and scolded him, "Why do you keep talking about money? How can you talk about such things casually? Besides, if the cadres in the township want to be promoted, they all have to give a little favor to the county leaders. How did you get by in the township for so many years? You don't even know this little rule?"
Liu Rulin smiled awkwardly and said, "There are only two of us in this room, and no outsiders..."
"Nonsense!" Ye Xiaotao glanced out the window and made sure there was no one around before lowering his voice and saying to him, "Don't you know that walls have ears? You're so careless, and sooner or later you'll get into trouble! Don't get me into trouble then!"
Hearing about the accident, Liu Rulin's face changed instantly, and he couldn't help but said nervously, "Secretary Ye, don't scare me... I have you to protect me, and you also have Secretary Liu to protect you, how can anything happen to me?"
Seeing Liu Rulin's heartless behavior, Ye Xiaotao sighed and shook his head. He really doubted whether Liu Rulin's brain was damaged by drinking. He had been in the town leadership position for so long, but he still couldn't figure out what he could say and what he couldn't say.
Such an unvigilant cadre is simply a time bomb that may explode at any time!
And they even have the audacity to say who is whose backer... Humph, is there any absolutely reliable relationship in this world?
When you really fall, you can't count on anyone to help you except your family!
Those so-called backers, huh, they are lucky if they don't step on you, and you still expect them to save you? You are just dreaming!
Ye Xiaotao understood this very clearly, so he always left a way out when doing things, so as to avoid being beaten by everyone.
"Okay, just keep this kind of words in mind in the future, and don't say them casually. What will it look like if the comrades in the village hear them? They will think I have received many benefits from you." Ye Xiaotao frowned and said unhappily.
Liu Rulin laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Secretary Ye, I'll remember what you said, I will keep my mouth shut hehe...By the way, Secretary Ye, aren't you going to call Minister Shen to ask me about my matter?"
"Well, I'll call Minister Shen right away." Ye Xiaotao took out his cell phone and called Shen Zhifei.
The phone beeped several times, but no one answered.
Ye Xiaotao had no choice but to put down his phone and comfort Liu Rulin, "Okay, I think your going to the approval hall is a done deal, no one can get rid of it, so don't worry about it, just wait for the county party committee's notice."
Liu Rulin had nothing to say, so he could only smile and stand up, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer... By the way, Secretary Ye, are you okay tonight? I got two bottles of good wine, shall we drink some tonight?"
Ye Xiaotao knew that Liu Rulin was an alcoholic who would drink without regard for his life. There was no romance in drinking with such a person. He waved his hand in disgust and said, "No, I have something to do in the county tonight... It seems that you are on duty tonight? Don't drink so much. When you become the head of a county-level unit in the future, you'd better change your drinking habit, and don't let the county leaders replace you because of this matter."
Ye Xiaotao also knew that he was addicted to alcohol and might not be able to change it in his lifetime, but he still couldn't help but give him some advice.
After all, you will be working for the county leaders in the future, and it would be inappropriate for you to report your work with a strong breath of alcohol on your mouth!
The county leaders may not bother with you once or twice, but over time they will have a bad impression of you and will replace you when they get the chance.
After all, the county leaders want people who get things done, not drunkards who get drunk all day long.
Liu Rulin laughed, not taking it seriously at all, and said, "As for me, old habits die hard, and I'm afraid this will be the case for my whole life. However, I will control myself and drink less, hehe..."
Speaking of county leaders, Liu Rulin suddenly thought of something, smacked his lips, and asked curiously, "Secretary Ye, I heard that the person in charge of the approval hall is County Mayor Li Lin. I also heard that you seem to have a conflict with County Mayor Li Lin. Is that true?"
Speaking of Li Lin, Ye Xiaotao let out a long sigh. He could never have imagined that Li Lin had only been the township party secretary for half a year, and in the blink of an eye he was promoted to deputy county magistrate... This promotion speed was comparable to a rocket!
He had no good feelings towards Li Lin, but now, he had to re-examine his relationship with Li Lin.
Everyone in Pingyang City knows that Li Lin’s backer is Qian Lingyun.
