Chapter 8 Driver Turmoil
The suite on the top floor is said to be a presidential suite, but in fact, it is just more rooms, better decoration and furnishings, which is nothing more than the conditions of a luxury suite in a three-star hotel in China.
Tang Yi and Charlie entered the room, Ye Xiaolu also followed in honestly and unceremoniously, a group of soldiers stayed outside, and the guard Xiao Li and Xiao Yang, who had just arrived, also stayed outside the room at Tang Yi's signal.
Ye Xiaolu helped Tang Yi and Charlie each make a cup of coffee, sat next to Tang Yi, and listened to the two curiously.
As Charlie spoke, looking at Ye Xiaolu from time to time, Tang Yi smiled, "It's okay, she's my best friend, don't hide anything from her." ”
Charlie seemed to understand something and smiled, "I see." He said, "Mr. Tang, General Mumba is very happy to know that you have come to Uwanda, and he sincerely invites you to his mansion as a guest, and is looking forward to meeting you." ”
Ye Xiaolu was stunned when he heard it, General Mumba is the warlord leader who took power in Uwanda, and is currently the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Uwanda, and Uwanda is now ruled by a military regime, and the governors of the states are all soldiers, so Mumba invited Da Shao to his official residence? The face is not small!
Tang Yi picked up the coffee and took a sip slowly, Charlie or Mumba definitely didn't know the real relationship between himself and his mother, but when his mother called Momba, Mumba could also feel that the Chinese who urgently needed help had a very close relationship with his behind-the-scenes supporter, Ms. Xiao, so he hoped to see himself.
General Mumba was the mother to help find Minister Xiaofeng's lover began to have contact with the mother's people, in the mother and a large French arms dealer joint support, Mumba defeated many tribal warlords, seized power, of course, many warlords are temporarily surrendered, and Mumba also knows that without the support of his mother and the French, his regime is difficult to maintain for a long time.
But a meeting with Mumba? It's a bit out of bounds. Tang Yi pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Charlie, I won't meet with General Mumba." ”
Ye Xiaolu almost squirted out a sip of coffee, what are you kidding, the score is getting bigger and bigger.
Charlie was a little disappointed and said, "Mr. Tang, General Mumba is very sincere, I hope you will think about it seriously." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "It's not my personal reason, in fact, I also hope to meet this legendary general, but you know that my identity is very sensitive, and my private meeting with General Mumba will cause some unnecessary trouble, please bring my most sincere apologies to General Mumba, and that, if possible, I hope General Mumba can pay more attention to our office in Kili, which I am grateful." ”
Tang Yi did not want to directly come forward to talk to the Mumba regime, but he could not turn a deaf ear to the ardent expectations of some central leaders, so he could only compromise and make a little bit of a compromise to create a relaxed condition for the diplomatic activities of the office, and he could be regarded as living up to the leader's trust.
Charlie was relieved and smiled: "What you said is very reasonable, I didn't think it through, I will bring your words to General Mumba." ”
Then Charlie asked: "Mr. Tang, I have just offended, no, it seems that there are your compatriots among those soldiers who have violated the laws of Uwanda, what do you think should be done?" ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, just follow your laws." ”
Ye Xiaolu couldn't help but interject, "Who said it's nothing, Mr. Charlie, just now a soldier used violence against Mr. Tang, look at it, Mr. Tang's face is swollen." ”
Charlie's face became serious, and he said angrily: "There is such a thing? Mr. Na Tang, according to the most primitive rules of the tribe, offended the honored guests of the tribe, and could cut off the prisoner's hand, or punish him with death. ”
Ye Xiaolu was stunned, she made a sentence casually, and she could kill someone? Seeing Tang Yi coming over, he lowered his head and drank coffee, and didn't dare to interject indiscriminately.
Tang Yi smiled at Charlie: "It's not that serious, the punishment of the tribe is too much, in short, let's get it lightly." I wanted to say that the tribal punishment was too savage, but I swallowed it back to my mouth.
Charlie said, "Then you will be punished with caning." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Whatever, if it is based on local customs, such a punishment can play a more punitive role, I have no objection." ”
Ye Xiaolu imagined that the nasty big gold tooth was whipped fiercely, and almost laughed.
After a few more gossips, Charlie said goodbye, Tang Yi sent it to the door, and when he turned around the living room again, he found that Ye Xiaolu had turned out a small medicine box from nowhere, and was checking the items in the medicine box.
Tang Yi smiled: "What, do you want to change your career to become a doctor?" Sitting back on the couch, he gestured to the cup, "Make me another cup of coffee." ”
Ye Xiaolu sighed and looked at Tang Yi helplessly: "Da Shao, I really convinced you, do you still want someone else to be a lover for this performance?" At the very least, you should pretend to be nice to people for a few days, right? He still picked up Tang Yi's cup and went to make him a cup of coffee.
After sitting back next to Tang Yi, Ye Xiaolu took out a cotton ball from the medicine box, dipped it in alcohol, held it with small tweezers, and stretched it out to Tang Yi's face, Tang Yi was stunned and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Don't move, help you disinfect." As she spoke, Ye Xiaolu had already put a cotton ball on Tang Yi's face and wiped it slowly.
It's cool, itchy, it's very comfortable, Tang Yi smiled: "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
Ye Xiaolu felt that Tang Yi's face was a little bruised and swollen, and sighed softly: "It's all my fault, you will be beaten." ”
Surrounded by a light fragrance, the fashionable and beautiful surname stunner is by his side, looking at Ye Xiaolu's itchy black long eyelashes, seductive red lips, and fresh face that can pinch out water, Tang Yi's heart is hot.
Ye Xiaolu keenly felt the strangeness of Tang Yi's breathing, so she reached out and pinched Tang Yi, and said angrily: "Why don't you want to do something good every day!" ”
Tang Yi was pinched and itchy for a while, and reached out to grab her white and tender little hand, Ye Xiaolu struggled hard, and her long nails scratched a few handfuls in Tang Yi's palm, but it made Tang Yi more comfortable, and stretched out her hand to point to the room.
Ye Xiaolu smiled, "Come on, you, the two gods outside are guarding, aren't you afraid?" ”
Tang Yi said: "It's okay, even if they are suspicious, they won't talk much, besides, I'll tell them to rest." ”
Ye Xiaolu withdrew her hand vigorously and glanced at Tang Yi: "You're okay, I'm fine!" Think I'm your girlfriend, with the rumor? I want to do this when we meet, you dead man! Reaching out and pinching Tang Yi again, Gege got up with a smile, walked to the door with small steps with a sense of surname, turned around and smiled: "Da Shao, I'm leaving, I'll return tomorrow." ”
Tang Yi smiled and made a gesture to her to call, Ye Xiaolu nodded and opened the door.
……
In the next few days, accompanied by the responsible personnel of Hongyue and the staff of the local state political axe, Tang Yi visited the Hongyue production base and the household appliance sample exhibition hall, watched the product demonstration, the sand table model of the economic zone, and listened to the introduction of the planning situation.
In recent years, China and Uzanda have had close economic and trade exchanges, and the call for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Uzbekistan has become louder and louder among the people.
Uwanda is located in Central Africa, although the area is small but rich in resources, especially the newly discovered large oil field is the world's attention, as long as there is no longer a big turmoil, Uwanda's economic development momentum in Central and West Africa is likely to play a leading role, the production base is established in Uwanda, can radiate the entire Central and West Africa, monopolize the low-end electrical market in these poor countries, is the ambitious goal.
At the production site, looking at the unique Kanban with Hongyue characteristics and the energetic Hongyue employees, Tang Yi smiled and said to Manager Ma who was accompanying him: "Hongyue culture has really taken root in Wuwanda. ”
Seeing the monthly evaluation of outstanding employees and post stars, Tang Yi also suggested that in the future, in the name of Huanghai City, the outstanding employees of Wuwangda Hongyue and the state political axe personnel who supported and contributed to the development of Wuwangda Hongyue would be awarded. At the same time, Tang Yi also demanded that the cadres of the Huanghai City Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau conscientiously study how to better support the development of the Huanghai City Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau and how to do a better job in providing services after they return home.
In the end, Tang Yi made an enthusiastic speech in front of hundreds of employees.
In his speech, Tang Yi cordially expressed his condolences to the staff of Uwanda Hongyue on behalf of the municipal axe, and when Tang Yi said, "Thank you Hongyue for winning glory for the people of Huanghai and Ludong, and thank Hongyue for creating a world famous brand in China!" The audience erupted in warm applause.
In the lounge, Tang Yi sat on the sofa, took a sip of herbal tea, and then turned to Manager Ma and said, "Very good, I didn't expect Hongyue to be so courageous." ”
Manager Ma said: "Without the motherland as a solid backing, we would not dare to take root in Uwanda, where the war has just subsided." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Although Uwanda is a military and political axe, it pays more attention to the protection of foreign enterprises than those elected political axes with serious racial problems, which you think very well." ”
Manager Ma nodded, he had a tangible understanding of these.
Seeing that Tang Yi was in a good mood, Manager Ma pondered for a moment and said: "Mayor Tang, in fact, we were originally going to participate in the bidding for the construction of the electronic screen sign in Kili Victory Square, but the Uwanda political axe rejected our request, you see?" ”
Tang Yi said: "Is there any special reason?" I see that the local political axe is very supportive of you. ”
Manager Ma said: "Yes, I heard that the French communication provider has been booked, you know, how huge the advertising effect of that electronic screen will be." A few nights ago, the situation of the Uwanda Hotel changed Manager Ma caught up with a tail, and saw that Mayor Tang and the Uwanda military had a good relationship, Manager Ma naturally would not delve into the reason, in business, he was happy to know, maybe some of the problems encountered by Mayor Tang can be solved.
Tang Yi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "We should still be given a chance to compete fairly, so let's communicate with the relevant parties." ”
Manager Ma was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Mayor Tang, thank you, Mayor Tang." ”
The influence of the Red Group on the Yellow Sea is self-evident, the Red Group is one of the world's top ten white goods manufacturers, but also one of the most valuable brands in China, and the rapid expansion, has established localized design centers, manufacturing bases and trading companies in more than 20 countries around the world, the total number of global employees of more than 40,000 people, has developed into a large-scale multinational enterprise group, in the Yellow Sea, the Red Group is a pivotal position.
In recent years, the city government team of Huanghai, no matter how the personnel are adjusted, the support for Hongyue is as always, Hongyue can be said to be a banner of Huanghai, Tang Yi, of course, also wants to get closer to the Hongyue Group.
……
Sitting on the plane back, but there was no Ye Xiaolu, Tang Yi closed his eyes slightly, thinking about the itinerary of these days, what role can Uwanda play in his political puzzle?
Tang Yi remembered an interesting story again, but it was Xiao Zeng, a grassroots cadre, who fell in love with a local black girl, but according to the customs of the village, women are not allowed to marry outside, Xiao Zeng was so worried that he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, Manager Ma told it as a joke, but Tang Yi was interested, called Charlie, and asked the local tribal elders to come forward, but Xiao Zeng and the black girl were fulfilled, Xiao Zeng was grateful to pull the black girlfriend to find Tang Yi, and asked Mayor Tang to take a photo with them.
Thinking about it, Tang Yi smiled slightly, and took out the photo from her handbag, the black girl was still very beautiful, with an exotic beauty.
When he was transiting in Yanjing, Tang Yi separated from the economic and trade delegation, went to see his grandfather, and also went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the next day, he took a plane back to the Yellow Sea.
At the beginning of September, the streets of the Yellow Sea are still in the summer style, and the handsome men and women dressed in fashionable clothes are the constant scenery of the streets of the Yellow Sea.
The Huanghai Clothing Festival has ended smoothly, and after receiving a call from Sister Lan, Yun'er has officially opened school, she and Bao'er are both boarding in school, although they are both to cultivate their reading spirit, their essence is very different.
That night, he rested in the Welcome Pavilion for a night, and the next day, the energetic Tang Yi put himself into work, and in the morning Lu Yibo reported on the arrangements for the journey: "Mayor, a few days ago, Secretary Huang's mother had a big birthday, and Mayor Zhou and Mayor Zhao both went to Wuning. ”
Huang Xiangdong is a native of Wuning, although he has repeatedly wanted to bring his mother in the past two years, but the old mother is reluctant to leave his homeland.
Tang Yi frowned, the mayor was not there, and the executive mayor also left his post for personal matters, what did this say? What's even more outrageous is that the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee also left, which is a joke.
After Lu Yibo went out, Tang Yi thought about it, picked up the phone, and called Executive Deputy Mayor Zhou Wenkai, saying that he had something to talk to him.
A few minutes later, Zhou Wenkai came to Tang Yi's office, Zhou Wenkai was in his forties, in the prime of life, with two sword eyebrows very manly, and his figure was also well maintained, a black suit with a graceful demeanor, a standard perfect middle-aged man.
Tang Yi walked off the desk with a smile, invited Zhou Wenkai to sit, and personally helped Zhou Wenkai make a cup of tea.
"Mayor Tang, I just wanted to talk to you." Zhou Wenkai's expression was very solemn.
Tang Yi sat down and said with a smile: "Then you say it first." “
Zhou Wenkai turned the teacup on the coffee table, it seemed difficult to speak, Tang Yi didn't urge him, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.
Zhou Wenkai waited for a while, but he didn't see Tang Yi asking, so he had to open his mouth, "That's the case, I just heard some news, Aijun, alas, Aijun Lover's for takeaway fuel tickets, mayor, you have to restrain Aijun, this effect seems to be ......" Speaking of this, he sighed, took out a cigarette and lit one.
Tang Yi didn't react for a while, and said curiously: "Stamps? What stamps are sold? ”
Zhou Wenkai really felt like he was punching the cotton pile with his fist for a while, and he didn't know if the young mayor opposite was pretending to be stupid, but he had to continue to help him play the trick, and said with a wry smile: "It's the gas ticket at the gas station......
Only then did Tang Yi understand, and he couldn't blame him, how could this kind of thing happen when the army has been a driver all these years? Besides, how much is it worth to sell a gas ticket? How can there be anyone around Tang Yi who takes a fancy to these little money?
Tang Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "I'll check with him when I go back." ”
Zhou Wenkai said: "Of course, I just heard about it, and it's a small thing, but the impact is a little ...... Hehe. ”
Tang Yi frowned and continued to drink tea.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Wenkai got up to say goodbye, and Tang Yi nodded silently.
Out of the mayor's office, Zhou Wenkai's mobile phone rang, look at the number, it is the beautiful host of the city TV station, Jiao Didi asked him if he had time at night, and invited him to dinner.
Zhou Wenkai was very comfortable in his heart, and agreed with a smile, thinking about the possible Qiyi at night, but he hummed a little song and entered the elevator.
Tang Yi watched Zhou Wenkai come out of the office, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, the rhetoric that had just been brewed was all disrupted by the so-called "oil ticket" incident, he was going to give Zhou Wenkai a dismissal, but he didn't want to be hit on the head, he just agreed to Li Aijun to be his full-time driver, but he did such a thing, isn't this tantamount to slapping himself in the face?
pressed the secretary's room line and asked Lu Yibo to call Li Aijun.
After a while, Li Aijun entered the office, seeing that his face was worried, looking down at his toes, Tang Yi sighed, and asked straight to the point: "Aijun, I heard that your lover sells oil tickets for our agency, is there such a thing?" ”
Seeing Li Aijun nodding, Tang Yi frowned and lit a cigarette.
"Mayor, in fact, although my lover is a philistine, he is not greedy for this little money, it is a driver of the Second Light Bureau who knows my lover, and I met downstairs that day, and borrowed a fuel ticket from my lover, and my lover took a few tickets for him, and he had to give money, and my lover was confused for a while, so he accepted it. Mayor, if you want to bring it to justice, just do me, I know, I smeared you! ”
Li Aijun spoke, ashamed.
Tang Yi smoked silently and did not squeak, if it is really as Li Aijun said, this is nothing more than someone arranged, deliberately slapped himself in the face, the driver who had just taken office, turned his head and had a problem, which not only showed that he had a problem with his vision, but also had some meaning that he couldn't keep his subordinates, and he also wanted to know what kind of treatment Li Aijun would be after being beaten into the cold palace, I was afraid that the house that had eyebrows just now would soon be in the soup, and the people in the city government would see it in their eyes, what would they think?
Of course, when this kind of problem happened, Li Aijun admitted that it was impossible for him to drive again.
Sighing softly, Tang Yi said: "In this way, you go back and make up the money, don't think about other things." ”
Li Aijun didn't say anything, just bowed deeply to Tang Yi, looking at his staggering back, Tang Yi's heart was a little blocked.
Snuffing out the cigarette butt, Tang Yi picked up the phone, thought about it, but dialed it to Junzi.
"Brother Tang?" Junzi's voice was a little surprised.
Tang Yi's heart warmed, and he smiled: "What about work, right?" ”
"No, I'm not busy, Brother Tang, is there something?" Junzi hurriedly put down the work at hand and ran to the window to answer the phone, but he asked for leave and made a crib at home, stabilized, Xiao Na was pregnant, and in a few months, Junzi will be a father.
Tang Yi smiled: "Xiao Na is okay, right?" ”
"It's okay, I'm still messing around all day long, clamoring to go to the Yellow Sea to see the sea, I'm so angry that I'm choking!" Junzi's tone was full of happiness.
Tang Yi smiled, and even envied Junzi a little, "When you have time, pick up your family to see the sea, plus your sister, let's get together." ”
"Good!" By now, Junzi already knows Tang Yi's background clearly, and also knows that it is impossible for his sister to marry into the Tang family, and the relationship between Qi Jie and Tang Yi, Junzi can only accept it calmly, not to mention look at the high-spirited sister now, if there is no Brother Tang, my sister is afraid that she is suffering humiliation in Yanshan, what will be the situation of her family? These can be imagined, every time I think about it, Junzi has completely agreed with the relationship between his sister and Brother Tang.
"Brother, are you looking for something with me? As if you have something on your mind. "Junzi's sense is very keen.
Tang Yi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just now the new driver has a certain situation, I thought of you, Junzi, hard work, these years, there are a lot of temptations, I haven't thought about these before, just now I think back to these years, I feel that I should tell you about my hard work." ”
Listening to Tang Yi's warm words and encouragement, Junzi's eyes were hot, and he said: "Brother, what's the hard work, without you, there is no Junzi, I said it a long time ago, this life is yours, brother, I'll go and drive for you again!" ”
Tang Yi was also a little emotional, silent for a while, and said: "No, you can support your uncle and aunt well in Yanjing, and it is not in vain what I said to you back then, Junzi, you have done a good job all these years, this is what I said in my heart." ”
Junzi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Brother, I listen to you, I will do what you want me to do." ”
Tang Yi immediately smiled and said, "Come on, let's not be sour, it's nothing, Junzi, wait to be a father, the child is full moon, you must notify me." ”
Junzi sighed, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, what about the driver?" ”
Tang Yi smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, I'll find someone else." Tang Yi pondered, he couldn't pick people from the agency management bureau, there were too many things, please ask the relationship in the army to help, and choose one of the special forces who have retired from the army in the past two years.
Junzi said: "Okay, brother, use me and you can start your voice." ”
Tang Yi smiled and said yes, and asked a few more questions about the body of his uncle and aunt, and then hung up the phone.
