Chapter 1935
"So that's it." Zheng Tulu said with a smile on his face while opening the plastic bag, but found that it was just a pack of cigarettes worth two hundred yuan. His face changed immediately. He raised his head and smiled a bit coldly, and said coldly: "Director Xu, are you really here to handle things or are you joking?"
Xu Min was stunned by Zheng Tulu's sentence, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Director Zheng, I'm serious, how could I be joking."
"It's like this, Director Xu. You take this pack of cigarettes back and smoke it yourself. I don't smoke this brand of cigarettes much." Zheng Tulu put the cigarettes back into the plastic bag with an icy face, looked at Xu Min coldly, and then picked up a pack of soft Zhonghua from the desk, took one out, put it in his mouth and lit it, shifted his gaze to the computer, and no longer paid attention to Xu Min.
Xu Min was also a smart person. Looking at Zheng Tulu's actions, he knew that his gift was a bit too thin. After all, he was a department-level cadre, and asking him to handle things with something worth two hundred yuan was indeed too thin-skinned. So, Xu Min sensibly said with a companionable smile: "Director Zheng, look at my anxiety, I took the wrong thing. Director Zheng, you help me handle this matter, and I will definitely be grateful to you, Director Zheng."
"Grateful? How to be grateful? Just this pack of cigarettes worth two hundred yuan?" Zheng Tulu glanced at Xu Min sideways and said unpleasantly.
"No, no, Director Zheng, don't misunderstand, it's definitely more than that." Xu Min shook his head repeatedly and said.
Zheng Tulu heard that it seemed there was still a play, so he shifted his gaze back to Xu Min, who was full of smiles, and said meaningfully: "Director Xu, do you know that it is very difficult to arrange work now? Not to mention going to the hospital, even arranging someone to our construction committee, I am the director, and it is very difficult to handle."
Xu Min knew Zheng Tulu's meaning, nodded with a smile, and said: "Director Zheng, I know, I know. But you are the director, your official position is so big, and you are familiar with Dean Wang next door. You tell him, arranging someone to the hospital, it must be possible."
"It is possible, but you let me lower my face to Dean Wang to say this matter, it doesn't matter, but anyway, I have to mean something to Dean Wang, right?" Zheng Tulu expressed his thoughts euphemistically.
"Yes, yes, Director Zheng, what you said is right, I know this, I know." Xu Min kept nodding with a companionable smile and said.
"Since you know, how can you be embarrassed to bring a pack of cigarettes to me? Director Xu, you must know that there are many people coming to my office every day to ask me to handle things, and they are about to kick the threshold. If I have to spend so much tongue on everyone, then I wouldn't be exhausted all day long." Zheng Tulu put on his official airs in front of Xu Min and said.
"I know, Director Zheng being able to receive me in his busy schedule has already made me flattered." Xu Min also said with a companionable smile, extremely eloquent.
Zheng Tulu looked at Xu Min contemptuously and said: "Director Xu, it's good that you understand. I'm looking at the fact that your station is very close to our construction committee, and if something happens to our construction committee, you, Director Xu, will run faster. Otherwise, I really wouldn't waste time to receive you."
Xu Min was flushed green and red by Zheng Tulu's words. Although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart and secretly scolded: Damn it, isn't it just that the official position is bigger than mine! What are you showing off! Although he thought so in his heart, he still said with a smile: "Director Zheng is right, then Director Zheng... you... tell me, if I handle my relative's daughter's matter, how... how much?" Since Zheng Tulu clearly disliked his gift for being thin, Xu Min also summoned his courage and simply went straight to the point.
Zheng Tulu saw that Xu Min was clear, so he also became direct. He chuckled, stretched out his two hands, and made a gesture with two index fingers crossed together.
Xu Min understood that this meant the number 'ten'. He was shocked in his heart, thinking of a number that was a bit large, at least for him. He widened his eyes slightly, and then deliberately pretended to be confused and chuckled and asked Zheng Tulu: "Director Zheng, how much is this?"
Zheng Tulu saw that Xu Min was asking knowingly, so he stared straight at him and asked: "Can you understand ten?"
"Mm, understood." Xu Min nodded and said.
Zheng Tulu added: "Add ten thousand behind, and this matter can be handled."
"Ten thousand yuan?" Although Xu Min thought of this number, being confirmed by Zheng Tulu, Xu Min still couldn't help but be shocked. His eyebrows stood up, and his two eyes widened like a bull's.
"Why? Is it too much?" Zheng Tulu saw that Xu Min's reaction was a bit big, so he asked.
Xu Min smiled a bit awkwardly and said: "It... it is a bit too much."
Zheng Tulu basically had a clearly marked price for anyone who came to ask him to handle things, no matter how difficult the matter was. Especially asking him to ask others to handle things, Zheng Tulu needed to owe others favors, so the fee for this matter was higher. Otherwise, he wouldn't easily open his mouth to Wang Pangzi. Seeing that Xu Min thought this number was too large, Zheng Tulu didn't have the patience to bargain with him anymore, and said impatiently: "Director Xu, then please find someone else. This matter requires me, Zheng Liangyu, to give orders to Dean Wang. It was originally a matter of owing favors. If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't be willing to do it for any amount of money. I don't lack this ten thousand yuan at all."
Xu Min was slapped in the face by Zheng Tulu, his face became very ugly, a burst of green and red, and then he bit the bullet and said with a smile: "Then... then Director Zheng, I won't disturb your work anymore." Saying this, Xu Min turned and prepared to leave.
Behind him came Zheng Tulu's voice that didn't give face at all: "Director Xu, please take your things away, don't put them here, it takes up space!"
Xu Min was also full of fire in his heart by Zheng Tulu's words. He turned his back to Zheng Tulu and bit his back teeth, endured it and said with a smile, turned around and walked up to pick up the cigarettes he brought, while saying with a smile: "Then Director Zheng is not used to smoking this grade of cigarettes. I will bring a few packs of good cigarettes to honor you another day."
"That's fine, we'll talk about it when you come next time. I'm also a bit busy now, so I won't accompany you to chat, Director Xu. I won't send you off." Zheng Tulu heard Xu Min say this, so he softened his tone and said.
This is how it is in official circles. Although officials have high and low distinctions, everyone understands the principle of leaving three points of retreat for others, so as not to meet on a narrow road in the future and make it difficult for everyone.
