Chapter 29: Wang Fangyun Treats Guests

  For a moment, his mind was wandering and he almost let others notice that he was distracted. Fortunately, he spoke well and attracted the attention of Gao Kexin, who turned her head to look at him. As soon as he saw her beautiful face, Ye Pingyu immediately put on a serious expression and didn't dare to look at her.

  Ye Pingyu was the last one to report, after he finished reporting, Cao Dafu made some comments and summarized several opinions, asking everyone to follow his requirements. After he finished speaking, Zhao Yuangong added a few more sentences, and this meeting was considered closed.

  The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and my butt was getting a bit sore from sitting. It seems that after becoming an official, one must first have the ability to sit for long periods of time; otherwise, they won't be able to attend meetings, let alone lead them.

  After the meeting was over, everyone walked out of the conference room one after another. Ye Pingyu was the last to leave, tidying up the conference room before leaving. Gao Kesin didn't walk fast either, waiting until he finished cleaning up before turning back and smiling at him: "Director Ye, you did a great job today!"

  Ye Pingyu's face flushed with heat, and he hastily said: "Commissioner Gao, you're overpraising me, please give me more guidance in the future!"

  Gao Kesin smiled and said: "What can I teach you? You are the director of the Party and Government Office, and my future work still needs your support!"

  Gao Kesin is right, the propaganda work is done well or not, it depends on whether the achievements of the countryside can be propagated in time. To know the achievements of the countryside in time, we must have a good relationship with the party and government office, because they are the first to know the news. If the party and government office inform the propaganda department after knowing the news, then the achievements can be propagated in time, and the propaganda work can be done well.

  Ye Pingyu immediately said: "Support is out of the question, but our party and government office will definitely do a good job in coordinating work, please rest assured, Director Gao!"

  Seeing Ye Pingyu's serious expression, Gao Kesin couldn't help but laugh and say: "Then thank you, Director Ye. I'll invite you to dinner specially when I have the chance."

  Ye Pingyu chuckled and said: "How could I let you treat me to a meal? Whatever it is, just give the order and we'll take care of it. Don't be too polite, we're all here for work."

  She felt that Ye Pingyu was very calm and composed, and also had a clear mind at work, which made Gao Kesin admire him greatly. After hearing Ye Pingyu's words, she smiled repeatedly, looking very charming.

  After the two finished speaking, Ye Pingyu smiled and made a gesture of invitation, letting her leave the conference room first. Gao Kesin smiled again, walking out with a straight posture, and looking at her beautiful back view, Ye Pingyu's mind wandered again.

  After leaving the conference room, Ye Pingyu glanced around and saw Liu Yanwei entering Zhao Yuangong's office. Liu Yanwei didn't say anything during the meeting, but as soon as he came out, he went into Zhao Yuangong's office, which made people very suspicious.

  But Ye Pingyu didn't think much about this matter, he was the director of the Party and Government Office of Cao Lingzi Township, not the office director of Cao Dafu alone. Although he was recommended by Cao Dafu, it doesn't mean he is Cao Dafu's man. As long as he does his job well, that's enough. As for other matters, he didn't want to get involved at this time.

  Back in the office, Chang Fang and several others were still inside. When they saw him come down, they stood up and walked over to ask how the meeting went.

  Ye Pingyu thought for a moment, then gathered them together and held a small meeting. This was the first meeting he had presided over, and he was still a bit nervous, but after calming himself down, he began to tell everyone about the requirements of the two committees' meeting in the countryside.

  After finishing speaking, he made a few requests. He asked everyone to unite as one and not to divide into directors or non-directors. Everyone is working together as a team. In daily work, do a good job of routine tasks, and at critical moments, cooperate with each other to complete the temporary tasks assigned by leaders. Also, don't divide labor too finely. When there's specific work, make unified arrangements.

  Seeing that he didn't put on the airs of a leader, Yao Weiguo felt better listening to him there. If Ye Pingyu came up and put on the airs of a leader, even if he agreed to work hard in the party and government office, he wouldn't be too dedicated. Now that Ye Pingyu doesn't consider himself as the director, he should give Ye some face, and cooperate with the work that needs to be done.

  Chang Fang and Zhao Yan had nothing to say, everything was up to Ye Pingyu. With their iron-clad support, things would be much easier to handle. The only problem now was that there were still a few people short, and it wasn't easy to get the work done in time. They also needed to think of a way to get Wang Qiang transferred over.

  One day, after a busy day, in the evening, Old Zheng specially invited him to dinner. Ye Pingyu was very surprised and said that if someone should be inviting the other, it should be him inviting Old Zheng, how could he let Old Zheng invite him? Old Zheng just said don't worry about it, just follow me.

  Ye Pingyu had no choice but to follow him to the Dongsheng Wine House. After arriving, Wang Fangyun was extremely enthusiastic and asked Old Zheng to invite Ye Pingyu in. She specially arranged a good private room for the two of them, brought out high-quality wine, and ordered several dishes to entertain them.

  Watching Wang Fangyun busily and enthusiastically, Ye Pingyu was puzzled. The bulging part in front of his chest kept flashing before his eyes. Old Zheng pulled him down to sit and wait for the hot dishes to arrive.

  Ye Pingyu asked if there were any others, and Old Zheng smiled and said, "No one else, just the two of them, having a meal together." This made Ye Pingyu even more curious - what kind of meal could it be that just the two of them would have? Wasn't Old Zheng being too distant? Although he had promoted him to Director of the Party and Government Office, Old Zheng was also the Executive Deputy Township Head, so there was no need for him to come fawn on him.

  This is also not good to ask, Ye Pingyu just said that this meal he will pay for, can't let Old Zheng pay for his guest, but Old Zheng said: "Pingyu, this meal has already been paid for by someone else, you don't need to mention it again, we'll just eat our own."

  Ye Pingyu asked strangely: "Then where is he? Why didn't he come?"

  Old Zheng smiled and said: "I'll be right over, let's eat first, brother."

  Seeing Lao Zheng's appearance, Ye Pingyu didn't say much either. After a while, the dishes were served and the wine was poured. Lao Zheng accompanied him in drinking, although he wasn't really in the mood to drink. But thinking about future social gatherings, it was inevitable, so he might as well practice his tolerance now.

  Two people were chatting and drinking here, the host hadn't arrived, and the guest was eating here, it was really a situation that Ye Pingyu had never encountered before, he didn't know what kind of medicine Old Zheng had in his gourd, and could only guess in his heart.

  Lao Zheng now considers Ye Pingyu as Cao Dafu's person, so he still talks to Ye Pingyu about some things. For example, today Cao Dafu asked him to assist in handling financial and taxation matters, he explained the meaning of this, analyzing the reasons why Cao Dafu let him assist in handling financial and taxation work. Ye Pingyu asked what the reason was, Lao Zheng told him that the next step may involve personnel changes in the finance department, so he needs to cooperate well in this aspect, find some problems with Zhao Yuncai, provide a reason to adjust him, if there is any situation in this regard, he can bring it up and cooperate together.

  As soon as Ye Pingyu heard this, he felt a stir in his heart and said: "Director Zheng, I have a receipt in my hand that was signed by Secretary Cao when Director Niu was still here. But Zhao Yuncai refused to reimburse me for it. It's not because of the money that I'm annoyed with him, but because I think he doesn't follow procedures. If a receipt signed by Secretary Cao isn't reimbursed, does his signature have any effect in his eyes? Who will be willing to spend money for public affairs in the future? Will the reimbursement regulations set by the party committee and government still be implemented?"

  Unexpectedly, there was this matter. Old Zheng didn't know about it before, but after listening to Ye Pingyu's account, he thought for a moment and felt that this was a good reason to deal with Zhao Yuncai. He then asked Ye Pingyu: "Pingyu, has he paid you back yet?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Not yet, he just wants to reimburse me now, I don't want him to reimburse me either. That day he directly refused my request for reimbursement, why would I let him reimburse again?"

  Old Zheng immediately said: "What you said is right, we can't let him report it. If you need money, you can use other ways to report, but don't look for him to report this receipt. I will report to Secretary Cao and tell him about this matter!"

  Lao Zheng felt that he had grasped a reason to deal with Zhao Yuncai, although the matter was not big, but it was better than nothing. Let Ye Pingyu cooperate with him and provide some materials for the next step in dealing with Zhao Yuncai.

  The two of them chatted for half a day, and after a while, Wang Fangyun walked in from outside with a swaying waist, laughing coquettishly as she said: "Director Ye, you're going to eat well and drink well, aren't you? Come on, let me toast you with a cup of wine!"

  Ye Pingyu looked at her in confusion, watching as she filled the wine glass to the brim and then raised it to toast him. He had no choice but to stand up and say: "Boss lady, you focus on your work, we still have guests who haven't arrived yet, let the dishes come out a bit slower!"

  Lao Zheng smiled and said beside him: "Ping Yu, I'll tell you, the guest we've been waiting for has arrived!"

  After finishing, Ye Pingyu and Wang Fangyun exchanged a smile, and suddenly understood that this meal was invited by Wang Fangyun. No wonder no one else came, it turned out to be an arrangement made by Old Zheng on purpose. But then it's strange, why did Old Zheng replace Wang Fangyun to invite him to dinner?

  Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu suddenly remembered that someone had recently told him about the rumors of Lao Zheng and Wang Fangyun being quite intimate, with some even saying that Lao Zheng had already slept with Wang Fangyun. He didn't know if it was true or not, but now it seemed that their relationship was indeed very close, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to invite him out and let Wang Fangyun treat him to dinner.

  Wang Fangyun wanted to invite him to dinner, definitely because of the incident at dinner two days ago. Now that she has become the director of the Party and Government Office, if she doesn't specially invite him to eliminate misunderstandings, her restaurant business will definitely be affected in the future. However, she didn't dare to directly invite him out for dinner, and even if she did, he probably wouldn't come out. So she asked Old Zheng for help, and Old Zheng was very thoughtful in helping out, finally managing to get him to come out. Old Zheng still kept it a secret from him, not telling him the truth until Wang Fangyun arrived, letting him have a small surprise.
