night.
city.
As soon as the news about all the stars focusing on neighboring counties was broadcast, many places in the city aroused heated discussions and shouting, including the homes of city leading cadres.
"Dad! Dad!" a teenage boy shouted excitedly.
Zhang Dongxing, director of Baohong City Investment Promotion Bureau, was still sitting on the sofa watching the news just now, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. After the child called him several times, Zhang Dongxing came back to his senses, looked at his son, and smiled. Said: "What's wrong? Why are you calling daddy?" Although Zhang Dongxing is not old, he is not young either. He is already over forty years old. He is considered a son of old age, so he loves his son very much, let alone losing his temper. Zhang Dongxing can't even speak loudly to his son, but he is always amiable and approachable.
The boy pointed at the TV and said excitedly: "I want to watch Amy! I like Amy the most! All the classmates in our class like her! You can take me there tomorrow!"
Zhang Dongxing said, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Jiaolin County! I want to see their party!" The boy was already excited. He clenched his fists and jumped up, yelling.
Zhang Dongxing hesitated and said, "There's nothing interesting about that, right?"
"No, Amy sings beautifully, and so does Ellen!" the boy said anxiously.
Zhang Dongxing said: "It's the same as watching it at home. There must be a live broadcast in their county."
The boy said coquettishly: "Dad, I have to go, I absolutely must go. This opportunity is too rare. If you miss it, you will never have the opportunity in the next life. Aren't you the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau? Their neighboring county is also the Business Promotion Association. It's the unit you're in charge of. It's not easy for you to get seven or eight tickets for me. You, me, my mother, if I give my classmates a few more tickets, our classmates will definitely love them! I love them so much, you don’t know how popular Amy and Ellen are in our school!”
Zhang Dongxing pondered for a long time but didn't agree.
His lover came out from the kitchen after cutting the fruit. She frowned when she heard the sound. She was also a mother who loved her son very much, "Lao Zhang, if your son wants to see it, just take him there. You will also have a rest tomorrow. They are organizing a business association, so they must also I’ve invited you, how many tickets can I get?”
Zhang Dongxing said: "You don't understand. They invited me, but I didn't agree. I said I had something to do tomorrow and couldn't go. I made the call in the afternoon. Dong Xuebin from Jiao Neighboring County has a complicated relationship with the city. Many city leaders are dissatisfied, so I didn’t give them face. Now if I mention going there, wouldn’t I be giving it to myself? “What do you know?”
The boy kept shaking his father's hand, "Daddy, daddy, daddy."
When the child's mother saw it, her heart softened, "Their business association is also under the guidance of your city's investment promotion. If you don't go, what's wrong with asking for a few tickets?"
Zhang Dongxing said helplessly: "That Dong Xuebin, you don't know at all. This is a very bastard boss. He dare not even give face to the city leaders. The people from the city's rescue team kindly went to help that time. In the end, Dong Xuebin was scolded, and his temper... I won't talk about it."
His son begged him again and again, whether life or death.
In the end, Zhang Dongxing had no choice but to make a call to the Jiao Neighbor County Investment Promotion Bureau, "Hey, Director Sun, it's me... Well, please get me some tickets for tomorrow's cultural evening party. My son is special." I want to go... Yeah... What? Your county party secretary has to make the decision? Why... is there anything important about this ticket? Isn't it reserved... Well... Okay... I understand!" Zhang Dongxing was not very happy after putting down the phone. With his identity as the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, he obtained a few tickets from the investment promotion department. Who would have thought that there was not a single ticket there, saying that it must be approved by Dong Xuebin, and the tickets were all with the county party committee.
Isn't this irritating
It’s just a few tickets, right?
"Dad! How's it going?" His son looked expectantly.
Looking at his son's expression, Zhang Dongxing took back his words, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his son and tell him no.
…
Jiaolin County.
The home of the county party secretary.
Dong Xuebin had already lit a cigarette and was resting on his bed. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, the phone rang. When he saw the number, it was Zhang Dongxing's number that he had saved before.
As soon as he answered, Dong Xuebin ignored him and said: "Hey, who is it?"
"I am Zhang Dongxing." Zhang Dongxing said.
"Oh, Director Zhang, is something wrong?" Dong Xuebin said.
Zhang Dongxing paused for a moment, then said: "The China Merchants Bureau will not release the tickets for tomorrow's party until you approve them? I saw the news, and the lineup is very luxurious."
Dong Xuebin didn't mention this issue at all, "Yes, everyone came to support it to save face."
Seeing that he didn't mention it, Zhang Dongxing could only say: "My son likes Amy very much, do you think you can leave some tickets for us? I thought about it, the county's investment promotion work is also our city's work, as a guiding unit , I definitely have to support it, so I am going to put it down tomorrow and take my son with me." He also knew that it would be unreasonable to ask for tickets at this time, so he also explained it to himself.
Dong Xuebin knew it was him as soon as he saw the call. He couldn't help but sneered and thought to himself, "What did you do earlier? You were chatting with me this afternoon. Now that you see so many celebrities, you want to come?"
"Director Zhang." Dong Xuebin crossed his legs and said, "We are not rich in tickets here. One ticket is fine, but a few more tickets will make it difficult."
Zhang Dongxing felt depressed for a while, "The seat is not that tight, right?"
"You don't know, Lao Zhang." Dong Xuebin called out smoothly.
Lao Zhang? Zhang Dongxing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Are we that familiar with you? Still old
Dong Xuebin said: "There are so many celebrities here. This cultural festival is very popular. We didn't expect this. The tickets have been distributed early, and..." He chattered for a long time, which probably lasted five or six minutes. .
Zhang Dongxing: "..."
Dong Xuebin finally said reluctantly: "Well, since it's Director Zhang's honor, I must give you the green light. Let me ask and see if I can squeeze out two tickets. No more will be enough." , this is you, Director Zhang, I wouldn't care if it were anyone else." That reluctant tone and heart-wrenching tone seemed to be a huge favor to Zhang Dongxing.
Zhang Dongxing was speechless for a while, but there was nothing he could do. Who said he couldn't go because he had something to do before? Now he could only say thank you.
After beating him for a long time, Dong Xuebin was very satisfied.
Next, Dong Xuebin’s phone calls never stopped.
Ring ring ring.
Ring ring ring.
"Hey, Xiaodong, Lao Sun from our provincial government office, please leave me some tickets."
"Are you the Secretary Dong of Jiao Neighboring County? I am the county magistrate of Zhanghuai County. I heard that you are holding a party there?"
"Hey, Secretary Dong, do you still have the party tickets? My wife insists on watching Zhou Xuguo's performance. Haha, please save two for us. Thank you very much."
In the end, even leaders from other neighboring counties called Dong Xuebin’s mobile phone to ask for votes.
For other people, Dong Xuebin naturally wants to give it to whom. Anyway, there are more than a thousand votes left. Everyone is a friend. Even Dong Xuebin, a leading cadre in a neighboring county and city, will give this face and sell a small favor. It was nothing to him, but for some cadres from Baohong City who had been invited by Jiao Neighbor County before but refused or did not agree to attend the meeting, Dong Xuebin refused to answer the phone. , Dong Xuebin had to wait for others to emphasize and explain repeatedly before he would reply. Although he gave the tickets in the end, he just gave them one or two as if he was squeezing between his teeth, and he seemed very embarrassed. No one was happy. Yes, these leading cadres were also so angry that they scolded all eight generations of Dong Xuebin's ancestors in their hearts. Everyone knew that these few votes were definitely not a problem for Jiao Neighboring County. The biggest problem was to add a few more chairs. , but Dong Xuebin came up with a bunch of reasons and excuses, which made people hate him so much that he thought that this person named Dong was so damn vindictive!
But there was no way, who let the votes be in other people's hands? Even Zhang Dongfang couldn't make the decision on this matter. Lao Zhang had already avoided answering their calls. All votes in the county had to be approved by Dong Xuebin. They could only Call Dong Xuebin. In fact, they also understand that it is impossible for Dong Xuebin to speak for every ticket. Then the person named Dong will be exhausted. He has not slept for three days and three nights and he can't finish all the tickets. One phone call To which life should a phone call be sent? The party will start tomorrow afternoon. There must be someone from the county committee and the county government who invoices. The reason why the feedback there is is like this. Dong Xuebin must be looking for their back accounts, specifically for those who have not accepted the invitation from Jiao Neighboring County before. The city cadres are deliberately irritating.
If we change to another county, if another county party committee secretary is replaced as the leader, these city cadres will not even make a phone call, what will happen if they do not accept the invitation? Just go directly to the party tomorrow. They are city cadres and have the right to go back on their word. They don’t believe that the other party dares not to let them bring their relatives and friends in. But now the other party is Dong Xuebin, a well-known thorn in the city. He is a stinky hooligan who even foreign guests and city officials dare to scold. Everyone knows that he is really good at humiliating people. Although they are not afraid of Dong Xuebin, but in full view of the public, if he is really kicked out by Dong Xuebin because he has no tickets. Okay, where should I put the face
Use other channels to get tickets
It's not impossible. It's definitely not difficult to get it. Can they still have this kind of energy
But they had rejected the invitation from Jiao Neighbor County before, and now they were getting tickets on their own, which seemed a bit sneaky. Moreover, several of their city cadres were waiting dryly with their tickets to check in and take their seats. This in itself was a loss of face, Jiao Neighbor. People in the county still don’t look askance at them? I can't afford to lose this person.
So everyone can only make this call to Dong Xuebin and admit it temporarily. RS
