After returning to the first sub-bureau, Ye Ming walked straight into Ou Yangming's office, and saw that he was writing something on the desk, so he sat down opposite him and asked quietly: "Director Ou, as a business expert in the county bureau, why were you so hasty when you went to Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant to conduct a tax reduction and exemption investigation in the morning?" Why don't you ask their finance department to provide the salary list of the employees of the former Xinleng Steel Plant for verification? Didn't you think that the roster they are providing now could have been made up by them to cope with the investigation? ”

After Ye Ming left the sub-bureau to go to the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant, Ou Yangming guessed that he would have such a question after he came back. So, just now he was locked in the office, thinking about it for half an hour, and he also thought of what to do.

Therefore, when Ye Ming issued such a series of questions, he tilted his head and thought about it, smiled bitterly, and said: "Director Ye, we are both colleagues and brothers, and there are some things that I don't hide from you: Actually, as soon as I arrived at the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant, after reading the copy of the laid-off workers' preferential certificate and the nondescript roster they provided, I understood what they were playing. However, instead of breaking them, I pretended to be deaf and dumb, hastily checked the names on the roster, and then withdrew. I believe that Director Ye, your cleverness, should be able to guess my hard work in doing this: I am a rat trap! ”

When Ye Ming heard the words "rat trap", he immediately understood the meaning of his words, but he still asked dissatisfiedly: "What rat trap?" You name it and listen to it! ”

Ou Yangming glanced at Ye Ming very meaningfully, and said unhurriedly: "Director Ye, think about it: the fraud of Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant is so obvious and full of loopholes, as long as people with a little business knowledge and audit experience can find out the flaws in their information." But why was he able to get away with it last year and the year before last? Is it just because Li Li is covering them? I don't think so. Because their tax reduction and exemption approvals are tens of millions every year. Such a large amount is not something that our county bureau can decide, and we have to report to the municipal bureau and provincial bureau for approval. The tax administration departments of the municipal bureau and the provincial bureau will definitely come down to investigate the tax reduction and exemption of the new cold steel plant. Director Ye, think about it: Are the investigators of the municipal bureau and the provincial bureau so unskilled, they can't see this clumsy trick played by Li Botang and them? The answer is no: the people from the municipal bureau and the provincial bureau and the tax administration department must have clearly known that Li Botang was cheating. However, none of them exposed this fake trick of Li Botang. Why? There is only one answer: they have all been settled by Li Botang! ”

Speaking of this, Ou Yangming observed Ye Ming's face carefully, and saw that he was always calm as usual, and did not show any surprised or unexpected expressions, knowing that he must have thought of this a long time ago, so he simply said it: "Director Ye, why did I say that the rat thrower?" It is for the above reasons. If we expose Li Botang's fraud this time, not only will the leaders of the relevant departments of the municipal and provincial bureaus be implicated, but also the brothers in our bureau who originally conducted the investigation of tax reduction and exemption, even if they did not get Li Botang's red envelope gifts, they will not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty. Therefore, in the morning tax reduction and exemption investigation, I turned a blind eye and made a hasty decision, hoping that Director Ye would understand my intentions. ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Ming's suspicion of Ou Yangming in his heart completely disappeared: since he was for this reason, and he resolutely did not want the red envelope from the Finance Department in the morning, it showed that he did write such an investigation report because he considered all aspects of the relationship. It seems that the doubts I began to have about him were indeed a little wronged by him.

So, he looked at Ou Yangming with a slightly apologetic gaze, and said very sincerely: "Brother Ming, since you are so open and honest, then I might as well say bluntly: The reason why I want to go to Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant to investigate again, and the reason why I just want to question you like that, is actually really worried that you will be bewitched by Li Botang's father and son, accept their money, and do tricks in the tax reduction and exemption investigation report." We are brothers, and you should know that I did this not in bad faith, but genuinely worried about you. I hope you understand.

"Actually, I have already thought about the problem of the rat trap you just mentioned. However, this is absolutely not a reason for us to allow Li Botang and them to defraud the state of taxes. At the very least, I have to keep a firm grip on my level and not let them get through the tricks. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to bear the charge and consequences of dereliction of duty. As for your statement that many higher-level leaders may have been dragged into the water by Li Botang and them, and may even have accepted bribes from them, I do not deny this. However, no matter what kind of leaders they are, if they really accept bribes from Li Botang, they will be responsible for their own actions. If they pay for it, it's their own fault. And we must no longer cover up their wrong behavior with wrong practices. ”

Ye Ming's words were categorical and sonorous, and Ou Yangming didn't know what words to use to persuade him for a while......

After talking to Ou Yangming, Ye Ming just returned to his sub-director's office when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Dongfang, head of the Political and Engineering Section of the Municipal Bureau.

Zhang Dongfang first chatted with Ye Ming very enthusiastically about his recent situation, and congratulated him on his achievements after going to the first sub-bureau to take charge. Then, he began to get back to business: "Xiao Ye, it's like this: Chairman Li Botang, who has just revitalized the iron and steel plant, made a phone call to me, saying that you went to their factory in the afternoon to conduct a tax reduction and exemption investigation, and asked them to provide the salary payment table of the employees of the former Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant. Just now, the chief of the third municipal department of the municipal bureau also came to me and entrusted me to tell you: there are indeed irregularities in the tax reduction and exemption information for the revitalization of iron and steel plants. However, considering that this company is a banner of your private economy in Xinleng County, it is also a landmark enterprise for the transformation and development of state-owned enterprises. Moreover, on the issue of tax reduction and exemption for the factory, there are party and government leaders at a considerable level in the province and city to greet them. Therefore, the provincial and municipal tax administration departments have slightly relaxed the policy scale for the investigation of tax reduction and exemption for this factory, and have not copied the policy provisions one by one. Therefore, Section Chief Gu entrusted me to say hello to you: since Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant has been exempted from income tax for two years, and this third year is the last year, there is no need to get stuck with them, just let them do it as usual. ”

Ye Ming didn't reply to Zhang Dongfang immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said carefully: "Section Chief Zhang, I'm really sorry, I can't agree to your request." It is a very serious crime to defraud the state of tax revenue with false information. I was the first to approve and sign, and if I don't do a good job, I will be the first person the procuratorate will arrest in the future. So, I can't take that risk. I'm sorry! ”
