Chapter 146: Not Simple
"Zhou Hall, you are here. Thank you for taking the time to come here in your busy schedule. I am very grateful." When Wan Zixuan saw Zhou Shunmin, he smiled and stood up to greet him, saying nice scenes.
"Xiao Wan, be polite." Zhou Shunmin smiled and sat down at Wan Zixuan's invitation.
Wan Zixuan glanced at Chang Yongxing beside him and smiled, "This is Secretary Chang, please sit down."
Chang Yongxing smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at his leader. With the leader's approval, he took his seat and looked at Wan Zixuan secretly. Chang Yongxing also became interested in this young man who looked about the same age as him. However, the leader was present and there was no place for him to speak, Chang Yongxing just sat quietly.
"Xiao Wan, are you the only one tonight?" Zhou Shunmin suddenly asked.
"I'm treating Zhou Hall tonight to dinner, of course I'm the only one." Wan Zixuan smiled and glanced at Zhou Shunmin, "What, do you think Zhou Hall will have anyone else?"
"No, I'm just asking casually." Zhou Shunmin waved his hand with a smile.
Wan Zixuan ordered a few hotel signature dishes and asked Zhou Shunmin what wine to drink. Zhou Shunmin shook his head and said he would not drink it. Wan Zixuan also gave up easily. He was observing Zhou Shunmin, and Zhou Shunmin was also examining him. Zhou Shunmin didn't need to guess and knew that Wan Zixuan would not invite him to dinner for no reason. He didn't take the initiative to speak, waiting for Wan Zixuan to speak. If Wan Zixuan didn't say it, he would just pretend that nothing was wrong. In fact, Zhou Shunmin didn't have to think too much and knew that Wan Zixuan was probably looking for him. He was the deputy director of the Finance Department. However, nine out of ten people who were looking for him came to him for money. It was just that he asked for funds from the province. Zhou Shunmin had already experienced too much.
The two of them had their own thoughts. When the food in the hotel came up, Wan Zixuan greeted Zhou Shunmin and Chang Yongxing and moved their chopsticks. Seeing that Zhou Shunmin had been sitting there, Wan Zixuan knew that when he met this old fox who had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, Zhou Shunmin would never speak. Taking advantage of the time of greeting each other, Wan Zixuan smiled and said, "Zhou Hall, I'm not hiding it. I'm asking you tonight for something."
"Oh?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Wan Zixuan in surprise.
He murmured in his heart that Zhou Shunmin was really capable of pretending. Wan Zixuan smiled and said, "Zhou Hall, our Tsinghuan County is a poor county. This time I came to Zhou Hall, but I am looking for support from Zhou Hall."
"Hey, Xiao Wan, I met you at the Ji'an Municipal Finance Bureau last time. Didn't you work in the Ji'an Women's Federation?" Zhou Shunmin looked at Wan Zixuan in confusion. This time, he was really surprised, "What did you say about Tsinghua and Taipei County? Have you been transferred there?"
"Zhou Hall is right. I have been transferred to Tsinghua and Peking University County. It's a lot of plans. It's less than half a month since you transferred it. The last time you met me, I was indeed at the Women's Federation of Ji'an City." Wan Zixuan nodded with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Zhou Shunmin suddenly realized and looked at Wan Zixuan thoughtfully. Zhou Shunmin said with interest, "Xiao Wan, it's good. It's great for young people to go to the grassroots level to train more. What position have you transferred to Qingbei County?"
"Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Qingbei County." Wan Zixuan said calmly.
"Cecretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Zhou Shunmin was startled and stared at Wan Zixuan. The expression on Zhou Shunmin's face was no longer as simple as strange. Looking at Wan Zixuan for a long time, Zhou Shunmin said for a while, "Xiao Wan, very good, very young and promising."
Wan Zixuan smiled undeniably. Compared to what Zhou Shunmin said, he was more willing to hear the other party give him tens of millions. Tens of millions is a considerable amount of money for Qinghai and Peking County, but Wan Zixuan believes that this is not too difficult for Zhou Shunmin, the deputy director of the Finance Department, assuming that the other party is willing to help.
"Zhou Hall, our county's finances have been underpaid. Several projects that do practical things for the people have affected the progress of the progress due to funds. The county really has no money. I thought I had met Zhou Hall twice, so I took the liberty to come to Zhou Hall. I think Zhou Hall wouldn't mind." Wan Zixuan always maintained a faint smile on his face.
"Xiao Wan, your county is really interesting. These things should be the things that the secretary and the county magistrate are worried about. Why is it that you, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, came out to find money?" Zhou Shunmin smiled and did not respond positively to Wan Zixuan's words.
"There is no way. I am also a member of the county leadership team. The county has difficulties. As one of the leading cadres, I also have the obligation and responsibility to help." Wan Zixuan said with a smile.
"You are right. I can't tell that Xiao Wan, you are still so conscious." Zhou Shunmin smiled and called out, not mentioning money. He, the deputy director, didn't give it to anyone who asked for money, and did not refuse directly. Wan Zixuan came to him, and he gave him face. Even if he knew that Wan Zixuan was almost inseparable, he came to him for money. He still went to the banquet. This was mainly for the face of Jiang Youming, the secretary, otherwise he would never have come out to have dinner with someone who had only two-faced relationships.
Of course, Zhou Shunmin cannot deny Wan Zixuan's identity also made him quite interested. The first time he met, the other party was having dinner with Jiang Youming. Although the second time was a chance encounter, it also made him realize that Wan Zixuan was actually the deputy director of the Ji'an Women's Federation. Although the unit he was in is inconspicuous, he was a real deputy division-level cadre. When we met again this time, Wan Zixuan had become the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Qingbei County. Although Qingbei County is a poor county, Zhou Shunmin felt something unusual from the promotion and transfer of Wan Zixuan. At this moment, Zhou Shunmin became more and more interested in Wan Zixuan. If Wan Zixuan is worthy of his face, what's wrong with him helping Wan Zixuan?
"Director Zhou, I wonder if the Provincial Department of Finance can give our county some financial subsidies." Wan Zixuan saw that Zhou Shunmin didn't respond positively, so he simply made the statement clear.
"Xiao Wan, you should know that money is very sensitive. It's not that I don't help you, it's that this matter is difficult to deal with. The province's finances are too many monks and less porridge. There are eleven cities and cities in Nanjiang Province, and which place does not have its own difficulties? If I respond to your affairs today and others will know about it, they will scream poor and come to ask for money. What should you do? So it's not that I will help you or not, but that I can't open this hole privately." Zhou Shunmin said helplessly.
"What Zhou Hall said makes sense, but I believe in one sentence more, the matter is done by humans. Do you think Zhou Hall?" Wan Zixuan looked at Zhou Shunmin with a smile. Zhou Shunmin kept complaining and emphasized difficulties. Wan Zixuan believed that the other party could help this. This would be difficult. Either they didn't want to help, or they wanted to sell favors bigger later. Zhou Shunmin would choose the former or the latter, it depends on whether he had enough ability to make Zhou Shunmin sell his face.
"Xiao Wan, you are right, but you should know that reality is difficult." Zhou Shunmin smiled calmly and changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Wan, are you very familiar with Secretary Jiang?"
"Fortunately, I'm more familiar than ordinary friends." Wan Zixuan smiled slightly. When answering Zhou Shunmin's words, Wan Zixuan made a quiet move to watch the time.
Zhou Shunmin didn't pay attention to Wan Zixuan's actions. Wan Zixuan's words made him smile more. "Better than ordinary friends, that's the relationship is pretty good. Xiao Wan, why don't you invite Secretary Jiang to dinner tonight?"
"Tonight is mainly a banquet for you in Zhou Hall. I'm afraid that calling others will be disrespectful to you in Zhou Hall." Wan Zixuan smiled.
"No, no, how could it be? There are so many people, no, Xiao Wan, why don't you call Secretary Jiang to see if he is free? I think he should be finished now." Zhou Shunmin smiled enthusiastically.
"Zhou Hall, no problem, I'll fight later, but our main business has not been finished yet. Should we finish the main business first?" Wan Zixuan smiled, "Zhou Hall, our county is indeed poor. It was originally planned to build a park so that the people can have a leisure place after dinner. This is also for the sake of the people. But you see, the county is poor, and the budget for building a park is 70 million, and the county is so poor that it can't even take out a penny. This is why I can't go to the province to ask for support. Should the province consider giving us some support to poor counties like Tsinghua and Bei County as appropriate?"
"Xiao Wan, you are really making things difficult for me. If you want 70 million, it is absolutely impossible." Zhou Shunmin waved his hands repeatedly, and this time he was very firm.
"Zhou Hall, I dare not ask for 70 million. Otherwise, can the hall give us 50 million yuan?" Wan Zixuan stretched out his hand and compared.
"Xiao Wan, that's impossible, not 50 million." Zhou Shunmin shook his head firmly.
"Zhou Hall, how much support do you think the hall can give us at most?" Wan Zixuan asked back.
"At most, 10 million." Zhou Shunmin said calmly. For him, the deputy director, it was not difficult to help Wan Zixuan get a 10 million yuan fund. This was also something he could help. If there were more, Zhou Shunmin would not want to make that effort.
"Zhou Hall, why don't you think this is true? Is it okay to have 30 million?" Wan Zixuan licked his smile. He had to be shameless when he wanted money. Wan Zixuan would be fully exerting his shameless spirit.
"Xiao Wan, I want to help you. If you do this, I will be helpless." Zhou Shunmin glanced at Wan Zixuan and wanted to get up. "Xiao Wan, I've eaten this meal, and I think I should leave."
"Oh, Zhou Hall, if you leave so early, then you won't be able to touch Secretary Jiang when he comes? Actually, I just concealed something. Secretary Jiang is going to come here in the evening, but Secretary Jiang is a busy person. You know that he is following Governor Li, and he can't leave anything about Governor Li, so he promised me to come later in the evening." Wan Zixuan smiled.
Zhou Shunmin was stunned for a moment, stared at Wan Zixuan for a moment, and sat down again, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, "Xiao Wan, I didn't expect Secretary Jiang to really give you face."
"Fortunately, Secretary Jiang has always been very proud of me. No matter what Secretary Jiang can help me, he has ever said anything." Wan Zixuan said something.
"Xiao Wan, you are very good, you can't tell that you have such a big face." Zhou Shunmin narrowed his eyes and looked at Wan Zixuan.
"Zhou Hall, you have been awarded the award. I really feel ashamed. The main reason is that Secretary Jiang is willing to give face." Wan Zixuan smiled modestly, "Zhou Hall, can you see if the hall can give us 30 million yuan in funding?"
"Twenty million." Zhou Shunmin spoke calmly. He saw Wan Zixuan's pretentious behavior. Zhou Shunmin did not refuse at this moment. With the best of his ability, he used Wan Zixuan and Jiang Youming to establish a friendship. Zhou Shunmin was willing to do so.
"Zhou Hall, why not 25 million?" Wan Zixuan laughed. He was now in the spotlight, and a penny would be fine.
"Xiao Wan, you are really..." Zhou Shunmin looked at Wan Zixuan with laughter and cry, "I think we are almost bargaining vegetable vendors in the vegetable market."
Zhou Shunmin was talking, and the door of the box was pushed in from outside. Jiang Youming's figure appeared at the door. Zhou Shunmin was stunned and subconsciously raised his hand to look at the time. Zhou Shunmin turned his head and glanced at Wan Zixuan, with a playful smile. This young man was really not simple.
