Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui left Boss Chen of the Grand Hyatt Hotel and went to the Overseas Chinese Federation office set up by the United Front Work Department on Hong Kong Island.

Director Ding of the office warmly received Ye Tianshui:

"Minister Ye, hello, hello!

Finally, I've been waiting for you. "

He led Ye Tianshui to an office, pointed to all the office supplies inside, and explained respectfully:

"This is a specially prepared office for you. If you find anything you are dissatisfied with, I will immediately order someone to replace it for you."

Ye Tianshui originally bought this building and rented a floor inside to the office.

It's not that he cares about the little rent, but he really doesn't want to expose his financial strength.

Moreover, he also wanted to make a clear distinction between 'public' and 'private' from the beginning.

At that time, he finished the matter and returned to China.

All matters in the office are arranged and carried out by the director named Ding.

Director Ding is a real cadre of the country's United Front Work Department.

There are five clerks below, but there are three people secretly sent by the Public Security Department.

His apparent identity is also from the United Front Work Department, and even Director Ding doesn't know the inside story.

But what he didn't expect was that Director Ding would prepare an office for him?

Ye Tianshui didn't know anything about it beforehand.

He smiled and looked at this middle-aged man in his forties, and then he understood why the United Front sent him here.

Not only is he shrewd and tactful, but he is also considerate of things.

"Thank you, Director Ding. I'm very satisfied."

He looked at this 'luxurious' office. There was no shortage of desks, chairs, sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, and they were all made of mahogany.

There is a sign hanging at the door of the office, which clearly says:

Office of the Deputy Minister.

Tsk...

No one really told Ye Tianshui about these stunts.

Behind the office of nearly 40 square meters, there is also a separate bathroom and a room of about 20 square meters.

Ye Tianshui frowned. Isn't this a bit extravagant and wasteful?

He can't guarantee that he can come once or twice a year. Even if he comes to Hong Kong Island, he won't come to 'work'?

He, the 'Deputy Minister', thinks he only has a false name on Hong Kong Island.

Is the United Front Work Department very rich?

"Director Ding, did you arrange all of this?

Can the ministry approve the required expenses?

It's rare for me to come and take a look. Isn't it appropriate to keep it empty? "

Director Ding explained with a smile:

“The signboard of your office is the face of our office. When foreign businessmen and overseas Chinese come to our office, they will be a little shocked when they see this.

It also shows that our country welcomes and values ​​them.

It was specially requested by the ministry.

The office has been fully funded by the ministry, so we don’t have to worry about anything when entertaining guests.

The ministry has said that our office is a window to the country and we cannot let foreigners look down upon us. "

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Tianshui suddenly realized that no matter how poor the country was, its face must be bright and bright.

Moreover, after the reform and opening up, it did not take much time for our country to change its poverty and backwardness, and truly make some people rich.

Right now, even if we are trying to make a fool of ourselves, it is necessary for the dignity of the country.

"Is your work here going smoothly? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Ye Tianshui sat on the office chair and looked around before asking about the office with concern.

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek to achieve your goals." He originally felt that this place had no substantial relationship with him.

Therefore, he has not cared about it for nearly a year.

But now, this office has reserved an important position for him. It is really not Ye Tianshui's style to remain indifferent.

“At the beginning, we did receive some doubts from some overseas businessmen and patriotic overseas Chinese.

We have carefully solved their difficulties and helped some overseas Chinese to contact their relatives.

Now, our office has established credibility with the overseas Chinese.

Local officials on Hong Kong Island have also come out to make things difficult.

Later, I used your name to pay a visit to the Hong Kong Governor. He personally ordered that no regulatory authorities be allowed to hinder our work.

Now, we have established a presence and popularity in Hong Kong Island. "

Director Ding talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth, but Ye Tianshui was not interested in this.

A perfunctory nod of approval and approval.

The original purpose of setting up this office was to create a "mission impossible" mission. The essential work of the United Front Work Department had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, Minister Ye, you seem to be from Pingcheng, right?"

Director Ding changed his tone and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"That's right. Didn't you meet the overseas Chinese from Pingcheng?"

Ye Tianshui asked curiously.

"Mr. Ye is very knowledgeable, we really met your fellow countryman.

I have come to us to apply several times and want to go back to my hometown to find relatives.

However, the other party's identity is somewhat sensitive, and I have been suppressing it here.

As soon as you're here, I'll leave it to you.

If you agree to his request, we can also handle special matters here. "

Director Ding wanted to give Ye Tianshui some face.

But here in Ye Tianshui, what kind of overseas Chinese need him to open the back door?

"What's the situation with the other party? How is he particularly sensitive?

If you really don't meet the conditions for our political review, there is no need to deal with it specially. "

Ye Tianshui didn't want to cause any trouble to himself.

What kind of overseas Chinese does he need to know?

With the rich brothers and the Tong brothers around, ordinary overseas Chinese really couldn't stand his eyes.

"The other party's surname is also Ding, which is funny to say. People found out that he and I have the same surname and wanted to come and get married.

But he is from Pingcheng, and I am a standard northerner. Even my ancestral home is from the north.

Where is this? "

Director Ding recounted with a smile.

Pingcheng's surname is Ding?

Ye Tianshui's heart moved. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

"Is it called Ding Dafu? Or is it called Ding Dakun?"

Ye Tianshui asked with a calm face and a casual tone.

"Ah, it turns out you really know each other!"

Director Ding slapped the armrest of the chair and his eyebrows rose in surprise.

Ye Tianshui was not in a good mood anymore:

"Which one is it? Or did they come together as brothers?"

Director Ding said apologetically:

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear. It's Ding Dafu who's here."

He looked at Ye Tianshui in surprise:

"So he has a brother? However, he didn't mention it when he applied.

Minister Ye, since you know this person, should we give him a green light? "

Ye Tianshui's face became serious:

"Director Ding, the state has entrusted you with such an important job. Since when did it allow you to open a back door for someone?"

He asked with a cold tone.

Everything has its own consequences. Once this is started, the rules and regulations formulated for the office will be just a decoration.

If this trend really formed, it would completely go against Ye Tianshui's original intention.

Director Ding's expression immediately changed and he hurriedly explained:

"Minister Ye, you misunderstood. I didn't dare to open the back door for anyone. It's just that you happened to be here today and wanted you to review this person."

Director Ding's excuse seemed reasonable, but Ye Tianshui knew that as long as he really wanted to speak for someone, he would definitely be able to approve it successfully.

"Old Ding, setting up an office here is not a child's play. You have to take care of your subordinates, and you must conduct strict approval according to our review standards.

You already know that this person does not meet the requirements, so you should not mention him in front of me again. "

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and then gave a serious warning:

"If you find some overseas Chinese in special circumstances who cannot pass the normal political review and want to achieve their goals by building relationships, if there is anything suspicious, you should report it to me in time.

Please remember to ask the staff below to do the same. "
