In fact, there is no need for Ye Ming to insist on returning this red envelope in the guest room at this time, he can wait until the afternoon meeting and secretly return it to Zheng Xiaoliang or Chen Jianjian. [Full text reading]

However, Ye Ming had another purpose at this time: first, he was worried that he had been alone in the room with Zhou Meiyu for a long time, and there was nothing to do, and he might be fabricated by Chen Jianli and others, and he might even be framed by Zhou Meiyu, saying that he was doing to her in the room, and he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River at that time. Therefore, he wants Zheng Xiaoliang or Chen Jianli to come over now, so that they can see that he and Zhou Meiyu are innocent, so as not to give someone a handle.

Second, he also wanted to take this opportunity to return the red envelope to kick Zhou Meiyu out and prevent her from continuing to stay in his room: because he still has a lot of questions to think about and judge, and he has no time to chat with this Zhou Meiyu.

So, he insisted that Zhou Meiyu call Zheng Xiaoliang immediately and ask him to come over and return the money to him in person......

Ten minutes after Zhou Meiyu called, Chen Jianli and Zheng Xiaoliang hurried over.

As soon as he entered Ye Ming's room, Chen Jianli first looked at Ye Ming and Zhou Meiyu a few times, and saw that they were neatly dressed and looked natural, without any signs of any ambiguous affairs that had just happened, and he was a little surprised: it turned out that just now at the wine table, Chen Jianli saw that Ye Ming seemed to be very interested in Zhou Meiyu, and he was secretly happy at that time, thinking that Ye Ming had fallen into his trap. Later, after eating, he heard Ye Ming say that he wanted to go back to his room to rest, so he thought that he was a little impatient and wanted to go with Zhou Meiyu to enjoy the joy of fish and water. Therefore, he specially instructed Zhou Meiyu to obey Section Chief Ye's request and serve him with all her heart.

Therefore, when Zheng Xiaoliang received a call from Zhou Meiyu just now, saying that Ye Ming must return the red envelope left in his room, Chen Jianli thought that Ye Ming was pretending, and he also expected that he and Zhou Meiyu must have achieved good things, so he hurriedly took Zheng Xiaoliang over, on the one hand, he wanted to come to see the scene of Ye Ming and Zhou Meiyu's upside down, and on the other hand, he also wanted to persuade Ye Ming not to have any scruples, just accept the red envelope.

Unexpectedly, after he came in, what he saw was not what he wanted to see, which made him a little disappointed.

After Chen Jianli and Zheng Xiaoliang came in, Ye Ming called the red envelope to Chen Jianli's hand, and said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, Director Zheng, you are so polite." I have just made it clear to Director Zhou: I am not hypocritical or do not receive the affection of the leaders, but after I entered the work of the Provincial Party Committee, I set a rule for myself: I will never accept any red envelope gifts. This is my personal principle and bottom line, so please forgive the two leaders and remove this red envelope. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you. ”

When Chen Jianli heard his words, he was very unhappy, thinking that you didn't do anything, what principles and bottom line did you talk about in front of Lao Tzu, isn't this a blatant slap in the face of me, the secretary of the county party committee?

However, he only dared to say this in his heart, but on the surface, he still showed a false smile, gave Ye Ming a thumbs up, and said insincerely: "Section Chief Ye, you are so young and you are so strict with yourself, and it is indeed very rare to be so self-disciplined. It's just that it's actually a common practice for us to do this, and many local governments do the same. Section Chief Ye may have just arrived at the Provincial Party Committee Office, and he has been to the local area less often, so he is not used to this kind of thing. Therefore, I advise Section Chief Ye not to shirk, isn't it just a little mistaken meal fee? No big deal. Besides, if you don't charge this mistaken meal fee, those comrades who came with you, including Director Hu, will be embarrassed to accept it, right? In that case, it will be embarrassing! Therefore, I hope that Section Chief Ye can think about it again, sometimes, the principle and the bottom line can also be flexible, right? ”

Chen Jianjian's words are indeed reasonable: the reason why Hong Xi and others rushed to Huangyuan this time was, to put it bluntly, they just wanted to enjoy the super-standard reception of the Huangyuan County Party Committee and County Government, and at the same time, they also wanted to get a big red envelope back. If Ye Ming didn't accept this red envelope, their red envelope would definitely have to be returned. In that case, you are likely to offend these people unintentionally......

Thinking of this, Ye Ming hesitated slightly, but finally said very resolutely: "Secretary Chen, I just emphasized: you have your practice of receiving superior leaders, and I also have my personal principles and bottom line. I don't charge for this missed meal, I only represent me, and I can't use my own standards to measure other comrades. So, I want you to ask the comrades at the reception to remove this mistaken meal fee. As for the other comrades in our investigation team, they don't know that I have refunded the missed meal fee, as long as you don't talk to Director Zheng and Director Zhou, they will definitely not have any ideas, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jianli and the other three had different expressions on their faces: a sharp cold light flashed in Chen Jianjian's eyes, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Ye Ming's pushing; Zheng Xiaoliang had no expression on his face, but he scolded "hypocrite" angrily in his heart; And Zhou Meiyu now finds that Ye Ming has more and more advantages, especially his current resolute request to return the red envelope, which makes her admire it even more: among the current officials, how many people can be like the young section chief in front of them, and be unmoved in the face of risk-free red envelopes and gift money?

After Ye Ming finished saying that, he was also paying attention to the reactions of Chen Jianli and the others. He was a very sensitive and extremely sharp person, and the sharp cold light that flashed in Chen Jianjian's eyes just now did not escape his eyes. After seeing this cold light, Ye Ming suddenly felt a little regret in his heart: it seems that it may not be a good idea for him to resolutely ask for the return of the red envelope, and it may even bring hidden dangers and risks to himself: if he does not accept this red envelope, it shows that he has rejected the stammering and flattery of Chen Jianli and others, which is equivalent to drawing a gap between himself and them, and even between other members of the investigation team. From now on, Chen Jianli is likely to be wary of himself, and will guard against himself and monitor himself. In that case, if you want to secretly investigate the affairs of the company, you may encounter resistance......

However, at this point, he could no longer regret it. So, at his insistence, the red envelope was removed, and Zhou Meiyu followed Chen Jianli and Zheng Xiaoliang out of his room, so that he could finally lie down quietly and think about the next strategy.
