Chapter 42 Dismounted

Giethoorn International Hotel is straight into the sky, in stark contrast to the surrounding low buildings, you need to apply at the application office on the first floor to enter the hotel, check your identity documents, and have Li Guangwu's driver Xiao Xie to help, but there is no obstacle.

The splendid hall undoubtedly made Captain Park feel shocked, and she said to Tang Yi excitedly: "Chief, is it the first time I know that our country can build such a beautiful hotel, the best hotel in the world?" ”

Tang Yi smiled, there was no squeak, many ordinary North Korean people should have never heard of this hotel, right?

"But why are only foreigners allowed in?" Captain Park muttered to himself with some confusion.

Over there, Xiao Xie quickly completed the formalities, handed over the two passes to Tang Yi, and saluted a standard military salute: "Chief, I'll wait outside." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, beckoned to Captain Park, and walked towards the recreation area on the first floor, where Captain Park hurriedly followed.

Most of the guests in the hotel are Chinese, and the opening of the casino a few years later attracted some degenerate Liaodong cadres to gamble, and there were once ministerial-level high-ranking officials who fell because of gambling in North Korea, and most of the human beings will think that their luck is different, and the gambling industry will prosper forever.

To be honest, the building of Giethoorn International Hotel is high, but the hardware setting is a little backward, which is not as good as the four-star Seoul Hotel that Andong has just opened, which is equivalent to the international standard of three-star, this hotel has 24-hour power supply, and it is also the only building in North Korea that will not limit electricity.

Of course, it was the first time for Captain Park to enter the leisure and entertainment venues, and he felt that everything he saw was novel, and his mouth was full of admiration, and he was extremely proud of the development of his motherland.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, led Captain Park into the billiards room, Captain Park was not interested in billiards, learning naturally half the effort, after teaching for a while, Tang Yi himself felt that he was in a hurry, so he had to give up, and led Captain Park to the swimming pool, hearing that Tang Yi wanted to change his swimsuit, Captain Park's face turned red, looking at the many people in the pool, Captain Park almost wanted to cry, but the chief's words had to be listened to, she clenched her fists strongly, grabbed the swimsuit and walked to the locker room, but her demeanor was like a warrior who was about to go to the execution ground.

Tang Yi helplessly stopped her, so she went to a few more entertainment venues, Tang Yi was defeated by Captain Park after all, no matter what kind of entertainment, Captain Park was not very interested, and it was only in order not to sweep the chief's interest, Captain Park worked hard to learn and adapt, but it could be seen that she was very tired of learning.

In the end, Tang Yi had no choice but to give up, and led Captain Park into the KTV, as soon as he entered the box, Tang Yi sat on the sofa like mud, this half of the effort, it was really tiring.

The waitress entered the box to deliver the fruit plate, and asked, "Sir, miss, what song do you want to sing, I'll help you two order." "It's spoken in authentic Chinese.

In the 90s, the salary of a professor at a North Korean university was about 200 won, and the exchange rate of the official institutions in North Korea was less than four yuan per yuan, but in fact, on the black market, 100 yuan could be exchanged for 5 or 600 yuan, that is, the salary of a university professor in North Korea was only 30 or 40 yuan.

Of course, there is not much difference in the amount of wages for North Koreans, because everything has to be purchased by ticket, and a pound of rice in state-run stores is about a dime a dollar, and according to the price standard, it seems that every North Korean family can eat rice, and their monthly salary can buy one or two thousand catties of rice, but there are no food stamps, and no amount of money has any practical use.

This can be reflected in the price of meals in state-run stores, a bowl of cold noodles, about seven or eight yuan, that is, a university professor's salary for a month, can only eat thirty bowls of cold noodles.

The salary of the waiters at the Giethoorn International Hotel is about 300 yuan, but it is said that the guests have a certain percentage of the tip, and with the yuan, you can go to the North Korean foreign exchange store to buy supplies, which is naturally very attractive to these waiters.

Captain Park naturally hadn't seen karaoke, but she just watched curiously as the waiter adjusted the microphone and didn't ask anything.

Tang Yi didn't tip the waiter, probably under the clear gaze of Captain Park, he felt a little unable to take it, and he didn't like Captain Park to see such a scene.

Hearing that he could sing, Captain Park was a little happy, and said to Tang Yi: "Chief, I can play the guitar, is there here?" ”

Tang Yi was handsome, so he asked the waiter, and the waiter heard Captain Park call Tang Yi the chief, and his attitude became more respectful, and he immediately said that she was going to think of a way.

After the waiter went out, Tang Yi smiled and said, "Versatile and powerful." ”

Captain Park smiled happily, Tang Yi pointed to the fruit plate and said, "This is our Xinjiang Province specialty cantaloupe, it tastes very good, you can taste it." ”

Captain Park hesitated for a moment, then shyly picked up a melon strip and bit it carefully. Tang Yi lit a cigarette and stood up to look at the colorful paintings hanging on the left wall, so that she could eat more comfortably.

There was a soft knock on the door, and the waiter came in with a guitar.

Captain Park only ate a petal of cantaloupe, and he had already stopped, and when he saw the waiter come in and happily took over the guitar, he couldn't put it down, and said: "Chief, I have played it a few times, and I don't play it well, but, but I like the guitar very much, but unfortunately the song and dance troupe has one, and I can't use it." ”

Tang Yi asked the waiter in a low voice: "Do you sell guitars?" ”

The waiter showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "I'm sorry guest, this is what I borrowed from the hotel song and dance troupe, and I can't be the master." ”

Tang Yi nodded, and didn't force it.

After the waiter went out, Captain Park played the guitar and sang "Childhood" for Tang Yi.

"On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that on the swing by the grass, only butterflies stop on it, and the teacher's chalk on the blackboard is still desperately chirping and writing, waiting for the end of class, waiting for the end of school, waiting for the game of childhood......"

Captain Park's voice was clean and nice, like a clear spring, which was intoxicating.

Tang Yi listened stupidly, as if he had returned to the carefree childhood, with his hands behind his back in a proper manner, looking at the teacher on the podium writing on the blackboard with chalk, what kind of era was that?

The little innocent self, really, really miss the exam that scored 100 points and was happy as if he had the whole world!

"Chief......" Captain Park's gentle call woke Tang Yi from his imagination.

"Chief, am I not singing well?"

Tang Yi smiled, suddenly found that his eyes were a little moist, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Sing well, really sing well, in the future, will you have the opportunity to sing to me again in the future?" ”

Captain Park nodded happily and said, "The chief likes it, I sing it to you every day." ”

……

After returning to Anton, the first thing Tang Yi did was to ask Junzi to buy a guitar and send it to the border, and someone there would naturally receive it.

Sitting behind the desk, Tang Yi looked at the few one-inch photos he had taken with Captain Park in his hand and fell into deep thought. Obviously, her trip to North Korea was frustrated, and she wanted to take Captain Park to an entertainment venue so that she could slowly get in touch with the outside world, but Captain Park was unmoved, and she didn't like any modern way of entertainment and leisure.

Tang Yi was not discouraged, and he didn't want to stop his plan to influence Captain Park, maybe he could slowly find a way to make the North Korean side change its mind, but I don't know what the fate of Captain Park will be, will it be miserable? Second, I'm afraid it will be a few years away. I can't let a girl's most golden years be eroded by the years in waiting.

It seems that a serious illness is about to be seriously treated, but Tang Yi gradually has a plan.

Ringing ring, remembering the phone, Tang Yi stuffed the photo in hand into a document bag and picked up the phone.

It was Cao Guozhong, director of the Finance Bureau, who was a little emotional in his words, "Secretary Tang, didn't you explain that you would coordinate the urban construction plan with the Construction Committee?" Mayor Tian is very dissatisfied with the investment in the construction of the library, thinking that the funds are compressed too tightly, and it is not enough to build a modern library, and we need to re-calculate the Finance Bureau. ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, and said: "The financial work is not sloppy at all, especially now that the urban area is being greatly expanded and reconstructed, Mayor Tian criticizes you, you should first find the reason from yourself, see if your work is enough, and calculate it a few more times, there is no harm, right?" Speaking of hard work, Mayor Tian is not hard? Don't be wronged and shout around, is this the attitude of doing work? ”

Director Cao immediately said yes, Tang Yi softened his tone, "Of course, the financial task has been tight recently, and the burden is heavy, I know that there are many urban expansion projects, you have to run funds above, the city has to borrow money from banks, private fundraising, and there are many units that want money in all aspects below, it is a little difficult to coordinate these relationships, there will always be dissatisfaction of one kind or another, there will always be different voices, this depends on your own adherence to principles, careful accounting, and you must adhere to what you think is right, of course, you can't be stubborn, Listen carefully to the opinions, and change what is wrong, nothing is great. ”

Director Cao's heart was settled, he was afraid that Tian Qingbin had communicated with Tang Yi and said something about his own wrong, but after listening to Secretary Tang's meaning, he was very supportive of his work, and he hurriedly assured Tang Yi that he would definitely calculate carefully, follow the principles of financial management according to law, comprehensive budget, and scientific and standardized, and control the finances well.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi picked up the documents on the table and looked through them, but he was thinking about this Tian Qingbin, his hand was a little long, and without communicating with himself, he pointed fingers at the financial work, which was a bit excessive.

After pondering for a while, Tang Yi picked up the phone, dialed the phone number of Director Zhang of the Bureau of Culture and Sports, and asked who was responsible for the construction of the new library.

Director Zhang cautiously invited Tang Yi to dinner, and Tang Yi smiled: "Wait until you have time." Director Zhang sighed in disappointment and hung up the phone. Tang Yi knew that this old official was now in a bit of a difficult situation, and some voices in the municipal party committee thought that he was too mediocre and did not want to make progress, so he should adjust his work as soon as possible, enter the people's congress or the CPPCC to retire, and promote the cadres in the Bureau of Culture and Sports who are brave and enterprising and are in the prime of life to take the lead as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that this kind of voice was made by the leaders of the municipal party committee who supported Liao Changsheng, and the drunkard's intention to support Liao Changsheng was naturally to curry favor with Minister Zhao of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee.

Now it seems that Tian Qingbin should have taken over Minister Zhao, and he has a distant relative of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who is eager to expand his influence in Anton, just like he had the same mentality when he first came, but he shouldn't have put his hand into his own territory in order to win over Liao Changsheng, do you really think that Tian Weibing's face is very useful?

……

At the end of September, the meeting of the Standing Committee was held in the conference room on the third floor of the office building of the municipal party committee, and Ma Hongguang, director of the political research office of the municipal party committee, reported the main report of the meeting. Secretary-General Gao Tian made a report on the arrangements for the meeting. One topic after another, this year's development situation in Anton is gratifying, Anton team has been praised by the provincial party committee several times, especially Mayor Xiaofeng, CCTV Economic Channel conducted an exclusive interview with her, and the evaluation was very high, the topic of the interview is "Mayor", CCTV can use such a compliment, it can be seen that Mayor Xiaofeng has attracted the attention of the high-level.

The Standing Committee members are also very relaxed, looking at the development of this trend, Mayor Xiaofeng will be promoted sooner or later, and the whole body will be launched, and the members of the Anton team will also rise and rise, and they can take advantage of the maneuver when the time comes, which is also the main reason why many leaders of the municipal party committee are eager to move around in the provincial party committee and even in the capital to pull the relationship around.

Gu Xinming and Tang Yi have not been very vocal recently, and Gu Xinming's silent standing committee members know it, seeing that Mayor Xiaofeng's momentum is steaming, and the ancient nature is uncomfortable. As for Tang Yi, some members of the Standing Committee speculated that it was probably a hard work, and in the end it was to make wedding dresses for others, because he was unbalanced in his heart and was not convinced.

In fact, most of these Standing Committee members agree with Tang Yi's work ability, and can even be said to admire, after all, Tang Yi's achievements in the past year to Anton are obvious to all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tang Yi grasps the economy, invigorates enterprises, and attracts investment.

And now these Standing Committee members are all admiring Mayor Xiaofeng's wisdom and understanding, and quietly pulling Tang Yi over, Tang Yi's achievements are that she is out of the limelight, and Mayor Xiaofeng's political wisdom is much stronger than the ancient one.

Tang Yi's low-key is naturally not the reason why some Standing Committee members think, after returning from Hong Kong, he began to keep quiet, because he knew that he had gradually surfaced, and the capital did not know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, so he must be low-key, steady, and steady, what he has to do now is to do a good job in a down-to-earth manner, and put Mayor Xiaofeng up, Mayor Xiaofeng, is his first more reliable ally, maybe in the near future, she will become his strong arm.

As for the recent silence of the ancient great, Tang Yi guessed if he vaguely knew his identity? After all, Gu Da is different from other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and it is said that Gu Da has roots in the capital.

The last topic is about urban construction planning, Mayor Tian Qingbin made a topic report, the Standing Committee members talked about some of their own views, and finally Tian Qingbin said: "About urban construction, I can't help but think of such a thing, that is, Director Zhang Dingchang of the Bureau of Culture and Sports, Director Zhang's work attitude I agree, but maybe it's the age relationship, I always feel that he is not capable, the construction of the new library, can be said to be the top priority of the work of the Bureau of Culture and Sports in recent years, right?" But the preliminary preparations, the simple site selection and the selection of the architectural drawings of the library, he made several mistakes, and finally had to hand over the mess to Director Liao Changsheng, which was still discovered early, if there is really a problem with the construction, who will be responsible for this loss? ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, put down the pen that had been recorded, took out a cigarette, lit one, and took a slow breath.

Qian Yiming, the head of the organization department, also immediately agreed, and sighed: "Director Dingchang has done a few foolish things recently, which has caused a certain bad impact in the Bureau of Culture and Sports, which is indeed a problem!" ”

The venue fell silent, and most of them were judging the situation before Secretary Xin Ming and Mayor Xiaofeng made a statement.

Gu Xinming drank tea one by one, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

Qi Maolin has been observing Gu Xinming's face, but he can't see any clues, and then he looks at Mayor Xiaofeng, but he is holding a pen and patiently writing something in the notebook, Qi Maolin has a score in his heart, Liao Changsheng's relationship with straw bales is now known to everyone he is arguing with, no matter what Gu Xinming and Wang Xiaofeng think, they are not willing to speak first, but to observe the other party's reaction.

Qi Maolin immediately realized that this was an opportunity, so he smiled and said: "Let me say a few words, I completely agree with the opinions of Mayor Qingbin and Minister Yiming, I think the Organization Department should inspect several deputy directors of the Bureau of Culture and Sports, and it is also necessary to make appropriate adjustments to the work of Director Dingchang." ”

Tian Qingbin's heart settled down, the organization minister, the party secretary all echoed his opinions, the secretary and the mayor seemed to be hindered by the relationship between Minister Zhao and did not want to express his opinion, it seems that Zhang Dingchang was adjusted is a foregone conclusion, he couldn't help but glance at Tang Yi, originally heard that Tang Yi was in trouble in Anton, Tian Weibing explained that he wanted to have a good relationship with him, who knew that after coming to Anton, he found that it was not the same thing at all, Tang Yi didn't seem to have any say at all, he often didn't say a word at the meeting, and left after drinking a cup of tea at the end of the meeting, Tian Qingbin gradually became disdainful.

Tang Yi's distribution of power made him blush, I don't know why Mayor Xiaofeng values him abnormally, since he doesn't care much, he tries his best to be active, so that Anton and these Standing Committee members know that they are also outsiders, and they are not a little better than that hairy boy.

Because of Liao Changsheng's relationship, Tian Qingbin, Qi Maolin, and Qian Yiming have recently become very close, and have been supported by two heavyweight Standing Committee members who hold the power of personnel.

There was silence in the venue for a while, Tang Yi's cigarette burned out, gently snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "I don't agree." ”

The voice was very soft, but it seemed to be very heavy, because with his statement, the venue suddenly became lively.

Mao Haishan, deputy secretary in charge of culture, was the first to speak, he frowned, and said: "Minister Yiming, Secretary Maolin, I think the evaluation of a cadre should not focus on age, I know, recently there has been a yin wind in the municipal party committee, and he has made irresponsible remarks about the age of Comrade Dingchang, I think this is very abnormal, and you can't do revolutionary work when you are old?" Then why can the chairman of the Military Commission relax the age to ** ten years old, is it not because the old people are wiser? The chief also said that veteran cadres are our precious wealth! Why is the central government's policy to promote young cadres? It is not for the sake of squeezing out the old comrades, but to hope that the young cadres will be tempered as soon as possible and take over the work of the old comrades, and for an old comrade who is not yet of retirement age, we should not casually question his work ability. ”

Mao Haishan turned to Tian Qingbin again and said: "As for the mistakes in site selection and drawings you mentioned, it is better to ask Director Liao Changsheng for the specific situation, whose fault it is and whose mistakes he knows." ”

When Qi Maolin heard this, he scolded his mother, knowing that Liao Changsheng was talking nonsense with this straw bag, didn't he know that some words couldn't be bragged about casually? It kills.

Shang Guomin, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, also frowned and said: "A cadre who has no problems at all, why should he adjust his work?" I'm puzzled. Shaking his head, he was disapproving.

Jin Xiangyang glanced at Gu Xinming, and saw that he didn't react, so he agreed: "I agree with Comrade Haishan's opinion, Wenkoukou, after all, Comrade Haishan understands!" Talking lightly about cadre adjustments, this atmosphere is not very good. ”

Gu Zhandong, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, said: "I have no say in the organization and personnel, but Zhang Dingchang, an old comrade, I know that he has worked hard all his life, just like an old ox, who can't be revolutionary for a lifetime, and can't be treated fairly when he is old. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was tense and there was a possibility of being put on the line, Qi Maolin was startled, and looked at Gu Xinming for help.

Secretary-General Gao Tian is generally the role of the mud, and he spoke with a smile: "It's just a suggestion, I don't think it's very mature, so don't discuss it?" ”

Mayor Xiaofeng frowned and glanced at Tian Qingbin, and said very seriously: "Comrade Qingbin, you just came to Anton, you don't know much about the situation, some things can't be followed by everyone, you must investigate clearly before speaking!" ”

This is with a strong sense of criticism, it is rare to see it in the Standing Committee, Tian Qingbin's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and glanced at Tang Yi from the corner of his eye, but he saw Tang Yi as in the previous meeting, bowing his head and tasting tea, looking like he was waiting for the meeting to leave, but now Tian Qingbin knows what kind of weight this hairy boy has in Anton.
