Chapter 16: Battle of Wits and Courage (3)

As soon as she put down the phone, Bai Lijuan immediately dialed the phone number of Tang Aiguo's office, but unfortunately the secretary told her: "Minister Tang has a meeting, what will I convey to you for you?"

"Let Don call me back immediately, I'll wait in the office. ”

Madame's request is an order, even if it may offend the minister, it must convey Madame's words in place, and in the future when pursuing "progress", Madame can blow the pillow wind better than other means. So Xiao immediately slipped into the conference room to find Tang Aiguo, who frowned: "I'm in a meeting and can't get out, you talk to Director Bai, I'll give her back after the meeting." ”

Less than a trot back to the office, with the fastest speed to call back: "This, Director Bai...... I'm really sorry, Minister Tang is speaking and can't leave for the time being, so I'll get back to you as soon as the meeting is adjourned. ”

"How long does it take to speak? 5 minutes, 10 minutes? Say that there is something important at home, let him find a way to call me back immediately!"

Xiao Xiao had to go in again to convey, Tang Aiguo was also a little unhappy: "Tell her to wait, today's meeting is very important, I really can't leave, I will give her back in about an hour, is there anything important that you can't go home and say?"

Unexpectedly, the words conveyed this time made Bai Lijuan directly furious, and she scolded Xiao Xiao with a slashed head and face: "Tell Tang Aiguo, my business is so important, he is limited to 5 minutes to call me back, otherwise I will divorce him!"

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in a loud voice: "You dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, I will definitely call Minister Tang out, don't be angry, don't be angry......"

"Divorce" has been shouted out, who knows what will happen? Although Minister Tang is not a strict wife, the secretary knows very well that Director Bai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if this is not well coordinated, maybe they will quarrel with their husbands and wives today, and tomorrow they will blame themselves, and it is a trivial matter to be scolded for no reason, and what can be done if it hinders "progress" in the future?

So he went back to the conference room to find Tang Aiguo, and the latter's face sank: "Less, why are you so ignorant? Today is a personnel discussion meeting, and tomorrow I will give a plan to the secretary's office meeting, which is a very important meeting, otherwise why don't you let you observe? You are in and out to interfere with work." ”

"Yes, yes, my fault, my fault, but ......" less than immediately bowed his head, he knew that he couldn't say more, and he was afraid that he couldn't say it clearly, so he directly stuffed the written note to Tang Aiguo, "Director Bai is angry, you must persuade him, maybe there is an emergency at home." ”

Seeing the threatening words written on the note, "divorce if you don't return the phone in 5 minutes", Tang Aiguo couldn't help but scratch his head: He knew that his wife's temper was pungent, but most of the time she was still reasonable with the overall situation in mind, and there must be a major reason why she was so desperate today and even said such things in front of the secretary.

He dared to promise: If he didn't go out to answer the phone again, it wouldn't take Bai Lijuan 20 minutes to dare to block the door of the Organization Department -- how bad would the impact be? If he publicly said "divorce" again, others who didn't know the inside story would think that his style was not good, and that would be really fatal.

Divorce?

That's a never-ending no.

He and Bai Lijuan are both natives of Xishan City, but their backgrounds are completely different. Tang Aiguo's family is a farmer in the suburbs, and there are a total of 3 brothers in the family, and life has been very hard since childhood.

Bai Lijuan was born in the year of the people's commune's steelmaking, her mother was an accountant in the office of the county revolutionary committee, and her father Lao Bai was the head of the county agricultural technology station. After graduating from junior high school, Bai Lijuan's family first arranged to study accounting for 2 years, and then got to the county party committee financial office to help work (temporarily unprepared). But Lao Bai's idea is completely different, he thinks that sooner or later after the defeat of the Gang of Four, he will have to develop the economy, and it is more reliable to go to the rural credit cooperatives than to wait for the top job, regardless of the family's resistance, he arranged for his daughter to work in the business office of the township credit cooperative.

In less than a year, Lao Bai's judgment came true, the road to the top job was not so easy, but the credit union became important, and it vaguely became a good unit, and even because there was a little bonus, it was better than the regular work in the county.

20-year-old Bai Lijuan not only naturally eats the emperor's grain, but also because of her beautiful appearance and figure, she is recognized as a flower of Xishan Credit Union, and she was seen in the promotional photos at the beginning. In this case, the people who came to say goodbye were about to break the threshold of the Bai family.

In the matter of choosing a son-in-law, Lao Bai was once again unexpected: he did not marry his daughter to the son of a certain leader and a principal, but advocated that he should be married to Tang Aiguo, an agricultural technician who was 4 years old and was still working in an agricultural technology station at that time. The reason is that the young man is down-to-earth, steady and self-motivated. At that time, Tang Aiguo was black and thin, his appearance was not good, his family was poor, and he didn't even have a formal work establishment, no matter how he looked at it, Bai Lijuan and her mother refused to accept it, but Lao Bai made a promise at home, and the marriage was decided, and even the wedding money and supplies were all made by Lao Bai, and many people regretted that "a flower was inserted in cow dung".

Lao Bai quickly proved that he had a good vision, after the college entrance examination resumed, Tang Aiguo went directly to sign up, he was not admitted in the first year, and finally admitted to the high school secondary school in the second year, although 20 years later, this academic qualification is not very good, but at that time it meant that he jumped out of the farm and had the identity of a cadre or a college student. In the second year of enrollment, Bai Lijuan gave birth to a son to Tang Aiguo, and the name of her grandson was also given by Lao Bai - Minkang sounded very imposing. At that time, Guofu Minkang said that there were many people who were rich in the country, and that Minkang was relatively uncommon.

When Tang Aiguo came back from graduation and entered the system, starting as an officer of the county agricultural office, Lao Bai used his only little connections to help him pave the way as much as possible, and then watched his son-in-law walk up step by step, and after graduating from the correspondence class of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee of Tang Aiguo, he was already a proper leader of one party.

From this experience, Yu Gong, private and Tang Aiguo will never divorce, and this word cannot be passed on.

As soon as it spreads, no matter who is right or wrong, people first say that he is patriotic and ungrateful: The Bai family trained you to study in college, trained you to be a cadre, helped you pave the way for your career, and even married you a branch of the county credit union and gave birth to a son. What else do you want? You actually want to get a divorce? You want to change your wife as soon as you make a fortune? Despicable character!

So he had to stand up and apologize for his leave with everyone: "This ...... I'm out to answer a call...... My father-in-law was sick at home, and he might not be doing well, and my lover hung up three calls to me in a hurry. ”

As soon as they heard that his father-in-law was sick, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department waved his hand haughtily: "It's okay, you answer the phone first, we will be addicted to smoking later, and we will continue to open it when you come back!" Today, we will make a plan and tomorrow's meeting, and then you should hurry up and go to the hospital to see your father-in-law. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, it's not that I refuse to let you go, but the meeting is really inseparable from you, let us Director Bai take care of it more, just say I'm sorry. ”

Tang Aiguo left the venue with a normal expression, and as soon as he walked into the office and closed the door, his face became gloomy, and he hid far away with great interest, not asking what should not be asked, and not listening to what should not be heard, which is the basic requirement of being a secretary. Although he was very gossipy and wanted to know why Bai Lijuan was so out of shape today, it was better not to inquire about the cat if he was curious.

Tang Aiguo picked up the phone and dialed it back, and after connecting it, he scolded directly without waiting for Bai Lijuan to speak: "You have something wrong today? I am holding a personnel meeting to decide on the next step in the appointment and adjustment of section-level cadres in the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said two words, Bai Lijuan cried on the other end of the phone, crying and scolding: "You know that you can discuss appointments and plan your future for others, do you know that your son's future will not be saved? Is this son your own? Do you care?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong?" Tang Aiguo was baffled and upset, he was full of anger, but when he heard his wife crying, he couldn't make a big fire - this is the inertia of spoiling his wife in the past 20 years, he just said, "Say it slowly, you say it slowly, with me, the sky can't fall!"
