Chapter 32: The Choice
In the living room of the presidential suite of Jinrui Hotel, Tang Yi and his little sister stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain, enjoying the night view outside.
The presidential suite of this three-star hotel in China is actually a standard luxury suite, but its interior style and hardware configuration are full of avant-garde atmosphere, fine and simple style, elegant and innocent materials, making the whole suite both fashionable and noble.
Xiaoyun's matter was handled by the secretary Xiao Zhang, and remembering that Xiaoyun was wearing a new dress and a lively and cute appearance, Tang Yi smiled slightly.
"I can't see the stars." The little sister seems to find it boring.
Tang Yi laughed even more happily and said, "Do you miss our family's big bed in Anton?" ”
The little sister's face was slightly red, and she was a little far away from Tang Yi.
Tang Yi smiled: "Little sister, let's take a mandarin duck bath?" ”
The little sister's face became more and more red, adding to the beauty, Tang Yi turned his head sideways, looking at her snow-white officer uniform, but it added a bit of sacrosanctity to the little sister, Tang Yi's playful heart gradually disappeared, and said with a smile: "In the future, you are not allowed to wear military uniforms at home, and it will be awkward to touch you." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of the little sister's mouth and said, "I just won't let you touch it." ”
Seeing the rare playful appearance of the little sister, Tang Yi was itchy and couldn't scratch it, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed her, picked up the Qingli officer in the exclamation of the little sister, and walked to the bedroom............
In the northwest in April, the wind is fast and sandy.
Walking on the street, Tang Yi's face was beaten by the gravel, and Li Wei, deputy director of the Second Bureau of the Cadres of the Central Organization Department, walked beside Tang Yi, and Tang Yi could imagine his image when he saw his gray face.
The two hurriedly entered the Suzhou Hotel, and the unbridled spring breeze was immediately locked outside the glass door of the hotel.
Tang Yi rubbed his face and smiled bitterly: "Take a hot bath, deal with documents in the afternoon, don't go out to talk." ”
Li Wei also complained: "This ghost place, there is a problem with urban planning, how can there be such a strong wind in the city center." ”
After communicating with the second uncle, Secretary Liu's small actions were obviously much more restrained, and after Li Wei investigated in the sandy area, he also came to the conclusion that the main problem causing the tension between the cadres and the masses lies in some local town and county leaders, who have a rough style, are not good at solving problems, are impatient to do work on some issues involving the interests of the masses, and impose administrative orders, which makes the local people gradually develop antagonistic feelings.
And Li Wei has gradually gotten closer to Tang Yi these days, and he usually goes to talk to cadres in pairs.
When the two walked towards the elevator, Tang Yi's mobile phone vibrate, took it out and looked at the number, it was Sister Lan, Tang Yi stopped and smiled at Li Wei: "I'll answer the phone, you go up first." ”
Levi nodded and stepped into the elevator.
Tang Yi sat down on the sofa in the window lounge area of the lobby and connected the phone.
"I, I'm Xia Xiaolan." As long as Sister Lan talked to Tang Yi on the phone, she stuttered a little.
Tang Yi said: "I know it's you, what's wrong?" ”
"It's Miss Park, she, she wants to talk to you."
Tang Yien sighed, and after a while, Yun'er's crisp voice came from the microphone: "Chief." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "If you want to talk to me, just call me." ”
"I'm afraid you're busy." Yuna whispered.
Tang Yi said: "No matter how busy you are, you still have time to answer the phone, in the future, if you have something, you can call me directly, without going through Sister Lan." ”
"Yes." Immediately, Yun'er's voice became cheerful, "Chief, I did well in the re-examination, it seems that I can be admitted to Huanghai University this time." ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, did you do well in the test? Going to graduate school in the Yellow Sea? This is not in his own plan, but he can't find a relationship to make Yuna fall off the list, right? That's a bit unreasonable, even if you can deceive Yun'er for a lifetime, you won't feel at ease!
Yun'er said with some disappointment: "That's it, I just can't go to Yanjing to go to school, chief, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into Peking University, or I'll give up Huanghai University and give it a try?" ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Forget it, Huanghai University is not bad, it is a good university to be admitted with your own ability, Yun'er, congratulations!" I said earlier that we Yun'er are the smartest. ”
Yun'er said happily: "Thank you, chief." ”
Tang Yi said: "Prepare well for the interview, don't let me down." ”
"Yes."
hung up the phone, but Tang Yi was already relieved, why did he have to help Yun'er arrange her life by herself? What is the purpose of bringing Yuna to China? Isn't it just that I hope she can choose the path she takes? Maybe going to the Yellow Sea and leaving her sight is a new life for her?
……
At the end of May, the central inspection team completed its inspection in Suzhou and returned to Yanjing.
Looking at the wide streets of Yanjing, the skyscrapers on both sides, and the fashionable girls walking on the sidewalk dressed with a more and more seductive sense of surname, Tang Yi, who had just returned from the northwest, felt like a world away.
The members of the inspection team were on vacation for half a month, sitting in a taxi, Tang Yi just wanted to hurry home and sleep, and then accompany his grandfather for a few days.
Half a month off holiday also made Tang Yi not have to go back to face the chaos in the ministry, because of the trouble, Zhou Hailan and Ma Yuanjie were severely criticized by the leaders of the ministry, I heard that the ministry was already drawing up a new candidate for the director of the service center, Minister Zhang Suping called to hear Tang Yi's opinion on Ma Yuanjie, of course Tang Yi said a good thing, as for whether he could help Ma Yuanjie avoid this catastrophe, Tang Yi didn't know.
The music on the mobile phone rang, Tang Yi took out the number, it was the second uncle, connected, and called the second uncle.
"How are you listless?" Tang Wandong asked with a smile.
Tang Yi said: "Maybe it was blown by the northwest wind, just one word, tired." ”
Tang Wandong said: "There is no strong wind in the northwest!" ”
Tang Yi understood what the second uncle meant, originally the second uncle was going to use the inspection team and his own strength to have a contest in the northwest, but he was dissolved by himself, and the second uncle was still a little dissatisfied after all.
Tang Yi said with a smile: "Next time the wind blows, I will definitely be optimistic about the wind direction." ”
Tang Wandong sighed and said, "Hope." ”
After being silent for a while, Tang Wandong said again: "Do you want to move?" ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned: "Where are you going?" ”
Tang Wandong was silent, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "Yellow Sea!" ”
Tang Yi was stunned and couldn't speak.
……
Yellow Sea? Tang Yi was lying on the soft big bed in the bedroom, still thinking about what his second uncle said to him.
A few days ago, Mayor Li of Huanghai City was transferred to the deputy ministerial-level inspector of a ministry, to this extent, it is difficult to say whether it has risen or fallen, after all, the mayor of Huanghai City, the deputy ministerial-level gold content is slightly insufficient, although Mayor Li was forced to leave by that person, but when he entered the ministry, the deputy ministerial-level inspector, I can't say when he will be able to operate as a substantive deputy ministry, even if he is a member of the ministry, it is more prominent than the mayor of Huanghai City.
The problem is that Cui Jingqun, member of the Standing Committee of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and secretary of the Huanghai City CPC Committee, is about to arrive at the station, and he will definitely retire from the next term of office.
This is also the reason why that person is anxious to force Mayor Li away, he started from the decentralization of the county magistrates under the jurisdiction of the Yellow Sea from the ministries and commissions, and was promoted step by step to the deputy secretary in charge of the party and mass organizations in Huanghai City, and if he can successfully take over as mayor if he can successfully take over as mayor after the change of office in two years, he will have a great confidence that he will become the secretary of the Huanghai City Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee.
So he was in a hurry.
Ludong Province has always been in the top two or three ranks in the country in terms of GDP, but the population base is large, the average number is not as good as the developed provinces in the south, and the number of multimillionaires is far from being comparable with the heavyweight provinces in the south, but the status of Ludong should not be underestimated.
Ludong's circle is complicated, and his circle is not dominant, and the advertising case he caused has become more and more intense, although it has successfully forced Mayor Li away, but it has also attracted the dissatisfaction of some provincial party committee leaders, and because the advertising case has exposed some dark sides of the Yellow Sea in front of the national media, and even attracted the attention of the central leadership.
So after forcing Mayor Li away, he also had to leave the Yellow Sea gloomily, but the ending was also very good, and he was appointed secretary of the municipal party committee in a provincial capital city in the southwest, and he was only a short distance away from being promoted to deputy minister.
And now, what does the second uncle mean is that he will be the mayor of Huanghai City and go to break into this Longtan tiger's den?
There is no doubt that the Yellow Sea is under the control of his circle, he has been in the Yellow Sea for seven years, and has served as the party secretary and executive deputy mayor for four years, although Secretary Cui does not necessarily support him, but he is not likely to oppose him, to a certain extent, Secretary Cui still promotes him, and it seems that the director of the Huanghai City People's Congress is also a person in the circle behind him, in this atmosphere, Mayor Li has long been hollowed out by him, and the person in charge of the key departments of Huanghai City is afraid that most of them have been replaced by his people, especially in the past two years, Secretary Cui is about to arrive, He will not be a villain and hinder people's progress, in such a situation, his control over the Yellow Sea can be imagined.
He is gone, but his circle is still there, and if he goes to the Yellow Sea by himself to investigate the problems exposed by the Yellow Sea, he will inevitably have a fierce collision with his own small circle and even with the big circle behind him.
Going to the Yellow Sea will be a difficult test, an unprecedented test for yourself, but at the same time, it will also be an opportunity.
Tang Yi knew that with his age, how could it take two or three years to be promoted to the deputy ministry in the ministry, but the sudden vacant position in the Yellow Sea was an excellent opportunity, a certain main leader in Ludong Province had spoken with the second uncle on the phone, hoping that he could serve as the mayor of Huanghai City, after that person left, the Ludong Provincial Party Committee obviously hoped that there would be a strong person to enter the Yellow Sea, a person who could compete with the big circle behind him, so as to lift the lid on the Yellow Sea, after all, within the provincial party committee, there was a strong disagreement with his departure, his own appointment, may be able to temporarily balance the different opinions within the provincial party committee, after all, the circle behind him still has some influence in Ludong.
Whether to go to the Yellow Sea or not is undoubtedly a difficult choice.
The second uncle is waiting for his reply, most of the people in the faction are not waiting, if he can gain a foothold in the Yellow Sea, control the situation in the Yellow Sea, and make the Tang faction's voice in Ludong enhanced, then his status in the faction will undoubtedly be greatly improved, after all, in the eyes of most people, he has some ability to engage in the economy, but to this day, to a large extent, it is due to the shadow of his grandfather, and the so-called third-generation leader of the faction is only because of his grandfather's presence, so no one raises objections, himself, It seems like it's time to prove something, too.
But really go to the Yellow Sea? This time it is not the opponents of the past, if you are not careful, you may lose everything, politics is not gambling, going to the Yellow Sea and people to face Mai Mang, it is not a rational choice, let alone the best choice.
Tang Yi was a little irritable, lit a cigarette, and thought silently.
……
On the second afternoon, Tang Yi came to the back street of Zhongshan, only to know that the second aunt had led He Lei to see his grandfather, and there were also the second cousin and second cousin-in-law of the eldest aunt's family.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted.
Seeing Tang Yi's preoccupied look, the old lady smiled and said: "If you are careful all your life and count on a smooth life, you will have a little family spirit after all." ”
A flash of lightning flashed in Tang Yi's heart, and he raised his head and said, "Grandpa, I know." ”
The old lady smiled: "It's good that you really know, if my words affect your decision, you still don't know." ”
Tang Yi smiled and picked up the teacup, "Grandpa, your influence on me is getting weaker and weaker, it's rare to influence me once, you should be a big deal." ”
The old lady reprimanded; "More and more cocked tails, sooner or later there will be a day when you know it hurts." Although it was a reprimanding tone, there was a smile in his eyes.
The second aunt sighed, and said in her heart that she would be Xiaoyi, and she dared to speak like this in front of the old man. couldn't help but glance at his son beside him, He Lei didn't dare to come out, his eyes and nose were looking at his heart, and he looked like he was sitting upright.
The second cousin and cousin-in-law are both cadres of large state-owned enterprises, the cousin-in-law is the director of the workshop of a state-owned enterprise, and the second cousin is the deputy manager of a procurement department of Sinopec, a deputy director-level cadre, both of whom are thirty-four or five years old, the second cousin has a white face, beautiful and charming, and the cousin-in-law has black and shiny hair and is extremely well-dressed.
At this time, the old lady turned her head and asked her second cousin and cousin-in-law, "How are you doing your work?" ”
My cousin-in-law and my second cousin hurriedly said, "It's good." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Seeing that you all know how to grow, I am satisfied." ”
The second aunt smiled: "Dad, I heard that Xiaoyi is going to be promoted to the deputy department, right?" ”
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about state affairs at home." ”
The second aunt stopped asking, and whispered to Tang Yi: "Come and talk to the second aunt later." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly.
The old lady picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and said in his mouth: "After drinking tea, go to rest." ”
Everyone was busy drinking tea, and the old lady didn't want to speak, so she indirectly ordered the eviction.
The cousin-in-law saw that the old lady was in a good mood, so he smiled; "Grandpa, our factory leaders talked to me and wanted to mention me as the deputy factory director."
The old lady who was drinking tea frowned, didn't raise her eyes, and said, "Back to him, you are not qualified." ”
My cousin-in-law's face turned red with embarrassment, and the second aunt also said: "Grandpa didn't tell you earlier, you are in a state-owned enterprise, you will work steadfastly, not be in the limelight, and do not engage in specialization, this is also for your good, you know?" ”
The second cousin and cousin-in-law stopped squeaking.
Naturally, they didn't dare to have any opinions on the old lady, but after being taught a lesson by the second aunt, the second cousin's beautiful eyebrows were raised, and they didn't dare to say anything in front of the old lady.
The old lady looked at the second aunt and said, "You too, don't you know how to teach juniors, your electrical appliance shop has been too extravagant recently, and I forgot what I told you, right?" ”
The second aunt said: "It's Feiyan's propaganda offensive......" Speaking of this, she hurriedly stopped her mouth and glanced at Tang Yi, because of her cooperation with Feiyan, the second aunt had seen Qi Jie, and she also vaguely knew the relationship between Tang Yi and Qi Jie, but she didn't know if the old lady knew it.
When the old lady heard the word "Feiyan", she glanced at Tang Yi.
Tang Yi scratched his head for a while and lowered his head to drink tea.
The old lady stopped talking about this topic anymore, reached out and took out a cigarette, and Sister Li, the special protector who had been standing beside him, said busily: "Chief, you have already smoked too much today." ”
The old lady waved his hand, "The family is here, happy, it's okay to make an exception!" ”
Sister Li reluctantly helped him light a cigarette.
The second cousin's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked He Lei, "Hey, Xiao Lei, why don't you bring your girlfriend to meet your grandfather, and make your grandfather happy." ”
The old lady glanced at the second cousin, sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go, go and rest!" ”
He Lei's face turned white, and he was relieved to see that the old lady didn't ask.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and said hello to the old lady.
When she got out of the living room, the second aunt was furious and asked He Lei loudly, "You haven't broken up with him yet?" Have you forgotten what your grandfather told you? ”
Only then did Tang Yi know that the old lady already knew about Xiao Ruoruo, and he didn't approve of it.
Looking at the second cousin, Tang Yi was a little helpless, grandpa was unhappy, but most of the time because of the second cousin's small temperament, she also brought this vice to the family, her careful thinking grandpa can still see clearly?
He Lei was speechless.
The second aunt sank her face and said, "If you don't say yes, then I'll call the little star tomorrow." ”
Tang Yi hurriedly persuaded: "Second aunt, it's not good for you to come forward." ”
The second aunt nodded and said, "It seems that we are bullying people, right?" Then I'll find someone to talk to her. ”
He Lei said loudly: "Mom, why are you unreasonable? ”
The second aunt said angrily: "Be quiet, don't make noise to grandpa!" ”
Tang Yi also said: "Go back to the room and say." ”
The second aunt and He Lei live in the east cross courtyard, through the moon gate, the environment is quiet, the ancient acacia in the courtyard is towering, and the shadows of the trees are swaying under the clear moon.
Entering the Nanzheng room, He Lei sat on the sofa angrily, and did not speak, and when he saw Tang Yi and his second aunt coming in, he entered the room angrily and closed the door with a bang.
The second aunt beckoned Tang Yi to sit, helped Tang Yi pour tea, and sighed; "Xiaoyi, you say, is this kid too heart-wrenching and childish!"
Tang Yi said with a smile: "Second aunt, in fact, that girl is good, she doesn't have the vices of showbiz stars, I think she and Xiao Lei are quite compatible." ”
The second aunt looked at Tang Yi in amazement: "Have you seen her?" ”
Tang Yi said: "Yes, in fact, you can also meet, of course, don't meet with prejudice, you should get to know an ordinary friend, chat with her, and get to know her slowly." ”
The second aunt waved her hand and said, "Xiaoyi, don't persuade me, the entertainment industry is smoky, let's not get wet, and the old lady won't agree." ”
Tang Yi said with a smile; "Then you have to give He Lei some buffer time, now young people are rebellious, the tighter you push, the more they resist, slowly, maybe they themselves will break up with their own surnames,"
The second aunt nodded, "What you said also makes sense." ”
Tang Yi stood up and said, "Then I'll go, in short, let this matter go first, don't worry." ”
The second aunt nodded.
……
Not long after Tang Yi returned to his room, the door of the hall outside was gently knocked, and when he opened the door out of the bedroom, it was the second cousin and his cousin-in-law, Tang Yi hurriedly invited the two to sit on the sofa in the hall, poured tea for them, and said with a smile: "Why don't you rest early?" I'm going to accompany my grandfather to climb Xiangshan tomorrow morning. ”
The second cousin smiled and said, "Of course I have nothing to do with you, I guess what you must know." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "It's for my brother-in-law's promotion, right?" ”
The second cousin smiled: "Smart, it's not the eldest grandson of your Tang family." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Why do you still divide your Tang family and our Tang family?" ”
The second cousin said: "No, the old lady loves you the most, you help your brother-in-law intercede, it must be no problem." ”
At this time, my cousin-in-law took out a box of red pandas, opened the package, took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Yi, and said with a smile: "Come on, smoke this." ”
Tang Yi frowned slightly, the eldest aunt is basically outside the factional power system, in fact, the second aunt's family also had to be instructed by the old lady not to participate in the affairs of the Tang family, but because the second aunt has intersections with her mother and Qi Jie in business, she knows a little about her own affairs, and the second aunt and the second uncle have a good relationship, so they will naturally receive some news.
But the old lady didn't let them participate in politics because of his own considerations, and seeing his cousin-in-law's smiling expression, Tang Yi felt uncomfortable for a while.
Waving his hand, he said, "I'm about to go to sleep, so I won't suck it." ”
took out the lighter to help my cousin-in-law light a cigarette, and my cousin-in-law smiled and said thank you.
Tang Yi pondered his words and said slowly: "Actually, grandpa must think more comprehensively than us, we will do what grandpa wants us to do, and we will not suffer." ”
Second cousin Dao; "That's what I said, but I pressed Jinsong to prevent him from being promoted, Xiaoyi, have you ever thought about our feelings, this has been several times, Jinsong's grandfather has been the director of the workshop for a few years, and now the deputy director is like this."
Tang Yi was silent for a while and said; "Second sister, do you think that if there was no relationship with grandpa, would my brother-in-law rise so fast?"
The second cousin stopped talking for a while.
Tang Yidao; "Well, things will be done as grandpa says, but I'll find a chance to talk to grandpa."
The cousin-in-law laughed and said, "That's bothering you." ”
Tang Yi shook his head, looked at his second cousin and said with a smile: "Second sister, if you tell me about your Tang family and our Tang family in the future, don't blame me for really being far away from you." ”
The second cousin was in her heart, knowing that Tang Yi was not a joke, so she laughed; "I'm also very angry, talking nonsense, don't tell grandpa."
Tang Yi smiled, pondered for a while, and said, "Second sister, your car should be replaced, and I will ask the second aunt to buy one for you when I go back." ”
"She?" The second cousin pouted.
Tang Yi smiled: "The second aunt sometimes talks a lot, people are not stingy, if you don't believe it, let's just wait and see." ”
(To be continued)
