In a large hotel in Mile City, Li Yifei was treating these tax officers to a meal. The dishes were exquisite, and the wine was fine. Whenever they came out to audit, they were always wined and dined. This time, they had been holding back from accepting any invitations because they had a different agenda. But now they finally let themselves relax, and they were getting quite smug from the drinks.
Li Yifei picked up his glass and said, "Leaders, I'm really counting on your support with this matter. As you know, these constant audits really do affect our company's operations. Please show us some leniency, and I promise you won't have been busy for nothing."
The leader of the group, the head of the audit division named Dong Tao, also picked up his glass and responded, "Chairman Li, we're just following orders, you have to understand our position."
