Lu Tao saw that Cai Zhangming also stood out to criticize him, and County Magistrate Su, who was sitting opposite him, also showed an angry look. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his sarcastic remarks about Xia Bingbing. He felt that it was meaningless for him to continue sitting there, so he stood up and said, "Director Cai, I think your criticism of me is unfair. Director Xia just mocked me. You said that she was straightforward, and I used a famous name to describe her, but you said that I was eccentric and had no self-restraint and demeanor. You are obviously biased!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the private room without looking back. Cai Zhangming was so angry that his face turned livid. He stood up and wanted to chase after him to reprimand him, but Su Yetai waved his hand and stopped him.
After Cai Zhangming angrily sat down again, Su Yetai raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. He said with a smile, "Zhangming, just now you criticized that little comrade for having no demeanor and self-restraint. I think you also need to improve your self-restraint! It's inevitable that young people show off their abilities and sometimes don't know what's good for them! You are the Director of Finance and an old comrade. If you argue with a hothead who is not very knowledgeable and insist on arguing with him, wouldn't you lower your own status? There's no need for that, right? "
Cai Zhangming blushed and nodded repeatedly. He said, "Boss, you are right. I was indeed a little impulsive just now. I shouldn't have argued with such a hothead who doesn't know when to stop. If I quarrel with him, I will indeed lose my dignity and become a joke. Thank you for your advice, boss. I will pay attention to this in the future. "
Zhang Yaling looked at Su Yetai with admiration and flattered him with a sweet smile, "County Magistrate Su, your breadth of mind and bearing is really admirable. I've heard many people say that you're a good leader with great foresight, elegance, and magnanimity. Judging from what you just said to Chief Cai, you really live up to your reputation! "
Su Yetai smiled and did not respond to her. Instead, he turned his head to Xia Bingbing on his right and said in a very friendly tone, "Bingbing, you have to be more careful in the future. Don't be too straightforward when you speak. You will offend people like this. For example, the young comrade who just went out. He was punished before, so he must hate it when others mention it. But you just had to say it in front of me, the county magistrate, and Lao Cai. He must be embarrassed. No wonder he had to retort. You have to be more careful in the future! "
When Zhang Yaling saw that Su Yetai did not care about her compliments but turned his head to "teach" Xia Bingbing patiently, she could not help but feel a little jealous. She looked at Xia Bingbing from the corner of her eyes and secretly cursed in her heart, "Vixen"...
However, Xia Bingbing did not seem to be convinced by Su Yetai. She did not even turn her head around. There was no smile on her face as she said calmly, "County Mayor Su, my personality was raised by my parents. I can't change it even if I want to. I am like this to everyone. I say whatever is on my mind. I will never beat around the bush or hide my views. The reason why I said that Lu Tao was punished was that as a party cadre, he did not care about his identity and image when he beat up the staff of O'Neal Hotel. He was almost detained by the public security. It was really despicable. I don't want to eat at the same table with such a person, so I said it bluntly. But I don't think I did anything wrong. "
When Cai Zhangming saw that Xia Bingbing did not give Su Yetai any face, he was secretly anxious. However, he did not dare to criticize her because her personality was straightforward and fiery. She was like a rose with thorns. Her appearance was gorgeous, but if he got close to her or annoyed her, he might be pricked by her thorns...
Fortunately, Su Yetai understood her personality very well. He did not care about her words and actions that did not know how to appreciate favors. He smiled at himself and said, "Okay, okay, okay. You are not wrong. There is no need to change your personality in the future. You just have to maintain your original personality. But then again, I really admire your straightforward personality. This is also where your charm lies. Hahaha! "
His last few words made Zhang Yaling even more jealous. However, she was a scheming woman. She did not reveal her jealousy. Instead, she maintained a humble smile. She even echoed Su Yetai's words and praised Xia Bingbing.
At this moment, Gu Weimin came in after arranging for the people outside. He began to sift the wine on the table. The waiter also began to serve the dishes in the private room.
While they were drinking, Cai Zhangming suddenly frowned and said to Su Yetai, "County Head Su, I'm afraid that it will be a little difficult for us to get 10 million yuan of special funds for the construction of the new village from the provincial office!"
Su Yetai said, "Oh." He raised his head and looked at him. He asked, "What's the difficulty? Is it because the leader in charge of the finance department or the budget department has changed? Have you not established a good relationship with them? "
Cai Zhangming gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "You hit the nail on the head when you look at the problem. That's indeed the case. Recently, the leadership of the provincial finance department and the people in charge of the departments have undergone a major adjustment. Deputy Director Mao, who was originally in charge of the budget work, has retired. The current deputy director in charge is surnamed Wang. His name is Wang Haoying. We have not interacted with him before. The original director of the budget department, Feng Linfeng, had some problems with the party's style of work and integrity. Three months ago, he was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The new director was transferred from another department. His name was Fang Xin. He was very young, only 41 or 42 years old. It was said that he was a very capable young talent.
"You know that the younger and more promising a leader is, the more he or she cherishes his or her reputation and image, and the stricter he or she is when it comes to his or her clean and honest work style. This director Fang Xin is like this. When he took office, we once invited a few old friends in the hall to have a meal with him. However, he firmly rejected us several times. Later, we had to visit him in his office and bring him a few shopping cards. However, he rejected us again. He even tactfully criticized us.
"In addition, Deputy Director Wang Haoying, who is now in charge of the budget department, is the same as Director Fang. We asked Deputy Director Mao to meet him for a meal several times, but he politely declined. We also wanted to give him some gifts, but he firmly refused. In this way, we can only fight for the special funds in accordance with the official rules. However, the funds for the construction of the new village this time are very tight. The standards for obtaining funds are also very strict. With the current situation of the construction of the new village in our county, I estimate that we can only fight for 5 million yuan of special funds at most. Moreover, we may not be able to obtain this 5 million yuan smoothly. "
