Cai Zhangming immediately understood Su Yetai's intention when he suddenly asked if he was familiar with Chen Dengfeng's daughter. He shook his head helplessly and said, "County Head Su, we only know that Chen Dengfeng's daughter works in the budget department of the provincial government, but we're not familiar with her. In the past, when we went to the budget department, we would look for Director Feng Linfeng or Deputy Director Mao. We rarely interact with Chen Dengfeng's daughter, so we still don't know which position she's in charge of. "
Zhang Yaling suddenly interrupted, "County Head Su, I have a cousin called Zhang Wenqing. He's a section chief in the second department of the secretary of the provincial government's general office. He's an alumnus of Chen Dengfeng's daughter, and they were very familiar with each other when they were in university. According to my cousin, he seems to be pursuing Chen Dengfeng's daughter..."
Su Yetai's eyes lit up, and he interrupted her and asked, "Has your cousin succeeded in pursuing Chen Dengfeng's daughter? Can he ask her out to meet us? "
Zhang Yaling smiled and said, "I'm not sure if he succeeded in pursuing Chen Dengfeng's daughter. Why don't I make a call first?"
Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number. In order to show that she wasn't bragging, she deliberately turned on the speaker so that everyone at the table could hear her conversation with her cousin.
After the call was connected, a very calm male voice came from the receiver, "Hello, second sister."
Zhang Yaling glanced at Su Yetai proudly. Seeing that he was listening attentively, she said in a very intimate tone, "Hello, fourth brother. I'm now in the provincial capital, and I'm going to the provincial finance department to do something tomorrow. When I went home during the Spring Festival this year, you told me that you're an alumnus of Chen Dengfeng's daughter. It just so happens that we're looking for her tomorrow. Can you give us some details about her? "
Zhang Wenqing pondered for a moment and answered, "Sister, Chen Dengfeng's daughter's name is Chen Pei. She's an alumnus of the School of Public Economics and Management of the Central South University of Finance and Economics, but she's two years younger than me. At that time, I was the president of the Student Union. Chen Pei also joined the Student Union when she was in her second year as the head of the Learning Department. We worked together in the Student Union for a year and had a good relationship. I also knew her better. She was the only daughter of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Chen Dengfeng. She could be considered a lady from a prestigious family, but she was very modest and low-key. She never mentioned her father's position to others. During my time in university, I didn't know that her father was the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.
"However, although she has a gentle and quiet personality, she is very principled and independent. She has her own thoughts and judgments about everything, and she is basically unaffected by the outside world. Let me give you an example. Last month, Governor Qin's secretary personally called her to invite her out for a meal in order to get a cap fund for her hometown's finance bureau. However, she flatly refused. In the end, the cap fund was also stuck at her stage and was not approved. "
Zhang Yaling was a little surprised and asked, "If Governor Qin's secretary wants to fight for some funds for his hometown, he can directly go to the leaders of the Finance Department and the Budget Department. Why is he stuck with Chen Pei? Right now, she is only a director of the Budget Department, right? How can she have so much power? "
Zhang Wenqing smiled and said, "Sis, you are the office director of the Taolin County's finance bureau. How can you not know this little bit about the bureaucracy? Let me tell you something first. Two months ago, Chen Pei was already the leader of the Budget Department's county and township group. She is a section leader and not a director like you said. You should know the position of the leader of the county and township group. She is in charge of the subsidies. All of the subsidies at the county and township level have to go through this group. In other words, all of the subsidies given by the Finance Department to the lower levels have to go through Chen Pei before they can be reported.
"Secondly, you have to pay attention to Chen Pei's special identity. She is the daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen. It is said that Deputy Secretary Chen is going to be promoted next year and take over Governor Qin's position as the head of the provincial government. Right now, the Deputy Director of the Finance Department, Wang Haoying, who is in charge of the Budget Department, has always wanted to get on Deputy Secretary Chen's good side and find a strong backer for him when he is promoted to Director. The new Director of the Budget Department, Fang Xin, is young and promising. He is Wang Haoying's trusted aide, so naturally, he also wants to get on Deputy Secretary Chen's good side.
"Under such circumstances, Chen Pei plays an important role in the Budget Department and even in the entire Finance Department. Think about it. The Deputy Director of the Budget Department and the Director of the Budget Department both want to curry favor with her father. The other leaders in the Finance Department don't dare to offend her. If she makes a decision, who would dare to reject it? She didn't give face to Governor Qin's secretary and insisted on not approving the funds for his hometown's Finance Department. Fang Xin and Wang Haoying could only go along with her wishes. Moreover, Chen Pei is very fair. The funds that Governor Qin's secretary gave her were not in line with the regulations, so no one could say anything if she rejected it. "
Zhang Yaling looked at Su Yetai again, who was listening to the conversation on the phone attentively. She asked curiously, "Fourth brother, how do you know so much about the Finance Department?"
Zhang Wenqing smiled and said, "Sister, didn't I tell you during the Spring Festival? At that time, you wanted to introduce me to someone. I said that I have someone I like, and that person is Chen Pei. Because I pay more attention to her, I used some methods to find out more about the situation in their department. This homework is necessary. What do you think? "
Zhang Yaling quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes. This is called knowing yourself and your enemy to win a hundred battles. It's an important trick to chase after girls. I hope that your wish will come true and that you can form a good relationship with Chen Pei soon. If that's the case, I will have an important sister-in-law in the Provincial Finance Department. Hahaha!"
Zhang Wenqing also smiled and said, "Sister, I haven't even started dating her yet, but I'm working hard. I'll report to you if there's any progress."
Zhang Yaling happily nodded and asked, "Can you ask Chen Pei out for tea or karaoke tonight? Our leader wants to meet her and ask her to help allocate more funds for the construction of the new village. "
Just as she said this, Zhang Wenqing asked cautiously, "Sister, are you with your leader right now? They didn't hear what I said to you just now, right? "
Zhang Yaling quickly lied and said, "No, I'm calling you alone outside. The leaders are all sitting in the private room drinking!"
Zhang Wenqing heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, you know that the department and position I'm in are more sensitive. There are many things that can't be casually revealed to outsiders, especially those in the government. For example, I told you just now that Deputy Secretary Chen is very likely to be the governor next year, and that Governor Qin's secretary is fighting for funds for his hometown's Finance Department. These can't be told to outsiders. Do you understand? "
