The soft bed, the pink towel was under the quilt, revealing a snow-white and silky calf, the jade feet with a sense of surname moved, Chen Ke slowly opened her eyes, her layered delicate short hair was wet with sweat, looking extremely messy, but more feminine, looking at Tang Yi who held his fiery ** tightly in his arms, Chen Ke smiled slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Tang Yi looked at the beauty in his arms, but he was full of emotion, Chen Ke has changed, more than a year of foreign life, finally made her get rid of her childishness, no longer the naughty little girl in the past, the lead is gone, after experiencing a lot of disturbances, Chen Ke has really changed, mature, rational, very assertive, but more charming woman, just like the one in her memory.

Hugging Chen Ke tightly, Tang Yi suddenly had a sense of crisis in his heart, is it really what he can have now such a Chen Ke and such an outstanding woman?

"Get up, hungry, go get something to eat." Chen Ke pushed Tang Yi with a smile, and when Chen Ke grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it in the sense of surname that Tang Yi admired, and sat up from Tang Yi's arms, Tang Yi felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Tang Yi took a shower, and when he came out of the bathroom, Chen Ke was sitting in front of the dresser and concentrating on touching up his makeup, his movements were gentle and full of beauty.

Tang Yi changed his clothes, leaned against the door, and looked at her silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Is it pretty?"

Tang Yi was awakened, and then his eyes lit up, Chen Ke's layered surname is short, slightly Western-style, refreshing, capable and charming, with an extremely elegant design of black and white horizontal striped shirt, straight-leg slim black pants, black high heels, and bare instep, are white stockings, simple and feminine.

"Pretty." Tang Yi replied subconsciously.

Chen Ke smiled lightly, took Tang Yi's arm, and said, "Let's go." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly.

After dining in the VIP restaurant on the top floor of the New York Hotel, Tang Yi and Chen Ke walked through the streets when night was already low and the lights were bright.

Tang Yi brought Lu Yibo to Yanjing, in addition to seeing Chen Ke, mainly to consult the senior leaders of the Council for the Promotion of International Trade on the attitude of the Yellow Sea to bid for the World Expo.

And now, Lu Yibo is naturally in the Beijing Office of the Yellow Sea.

Glancing at Chen Ke, who was pacing slowly beside him, Tang Yi smiled and said, "I heard you cry that day, and I still wondered, why haven't you grown up yet?" It seems that I was wrong. ”

Chen Ke smiled slightly, "Brother, your logic is a little wrong, women are made of water, even if an old woman in her seventies and eighties is sad and sad, she will shed tears." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "It seems that the United States has not gone in vain, and has learned to talk back." ”

Chen Ke raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Yi, his little charm was heartwarming, "Then do you like me now, or do you like me before?" ”

Tang Yi reached out and wanted to rub her hair, but halfway through, looking at her delicate and delicate hairstyle, he retracted his hand and said, "I like both." ”

Chen Ke turned his head sideways and said mischievously: "Brother, I haven't touched my head for a long time, see that you are so good at coaxing me to be happy, touch you, I'm not angry." ”

Tang Yi said funny: "Come on, haven't touched enough from last night to this morning?" ”

Chen Ke's face finally turned a little red, and he glanced at Tang Yi, "Stinky spirit, I won't look for you in the future!" ”

Tang Yi laughed, took Chen Ke's hand, and felt complacent.

The two walked silently holding hands, Chen Ke slowly retracted his hand and said, "Brother, you are a state-owned asset in the United States, right?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Xiao Jinhua is my mother. It is impossible for Chen Ke, who wants to study in the United States for a year, not to know this famous Chinese-American, although my mother has become more and more low-key in recent years, but she has a prominent reputation in high society, and it is impossible for the people not to have her legend.

Chen Ke was obviously stunned for a moment, and said softly: "I really didn't expect it, brother, I heard that Auntie's personal assets are tens of billions, and the business empire that can be controlled is worth more than 100 billion, right?" ”

Tang Yi said: "Probably, I don't care much about business. "The heart says that these are just the tip of the iceberg on the surface.

He turned his head again and smiled: "What are you doing?" Want to control our family's economic power? ”

"Our family? Don't you really want to have seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards? Chen Ke looked Tang Yi up and down sideways, and chuckled: "Yes, brother, you really have this capital." ”

Tang Yi was a little weak-hearted, coughed, reached out to find a cigarette, and lit one.

Chen Ke smiled slightly, then took his arm and said, "What are you afraid of, you have done it, really, don't forget, I was forced by you, and I reserve the right to pursue it." ”

Tang Yi smiled helplessly, looking at the beauties around him, and felt extremely comfortable.

As he walked, Chen Ke's mobile phone rang with a crisp and pleasant ringtone, and he took it out of his handbag, and Chen Ke frowned when he saw the number.

Glancing at Tang Yi, Chen Ke connected the phone, but it was in English, his tone was very serious, as if he was refusing something, and finally said louder: "Paul, I said, I have a boyfriend, even if you chase it, it's useless!" ”

"What? What did you say? It's your own trouble, you solve it yourself, please don't call me again in the future! ”

hung up the phone, continued to take Tang Yi's arm and walked forward, waited for a while, and finally couldn't help it, "Hey, why don't you ask me what's wrong, it's obvious that someone is chasing me, you are so relieved?" ”

He said even more funny: "Brother, aren't you going to say that you are not qualified to take care of my business?" Then I'll be disappointed in you. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile; "What do you ask, you rejected him very seriously, besides, a woman as good as you, the suitor must be one by one, can I manage it? As long as you don't give the wrong signal, you can't do anything about being pestered, and that proves your charm from the side. ”

Chen Ke chuckled: "Brother, why are you old and old, but you can make people happy?" ”

Tang Yi said: "Am I old?" ”

"Well, a bad old man in his thirties!" After Chen Ke finished speaking, when he saw Tang Yi blinking, he understood the meaning of Tang Yi's words, his face flushed, remembering that he almost died last night, he was a little afraid, pinched Tang Yi's arm, and said, "If you do this next time, I really won't look for you!" It's like I want my life every time! ”

Tang Yi smiled, grabbed her arm, and said, "Go have a drink." ”

Chen Ke said: "Don't go, let's go back, I'm a little tired." When she woke up, her whole body was sore, and her legs didn't have any strength, she just wanted to walk on the street with Tang Yi, so she barely supported it, and now she really can't hold it anymore.

Looking at the radiant Tang Yi, Chen Ke couldn't help muttering, "What kind of person, what a monster." ”

"Dididi" Chen Ke's mobile phone rang again, Chen Ke glanced at the number, hung up the surname and turned it off, and was afraid that Tang Yi would misunderstand, and explained: "Paul is what I met in the United States, and I don't know each other, it's just a friend of a friend, we had a meal together, and he began to chase me, telling him many times, I have a boyfriend, and it's impossible to be with him, he just doesn't listen, annoyed to death, but he is very good, very personable, I have said a lot of excessive things, he is not angry." ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't squeak.

Chen Ke leaned into Tang Yi's arms again and said, "Now that I am by your side, my mentality is also calm, thinking about what I said to him at that time, I really feel quite guilty." When I didn't have you, I don't know why, whoever wanted to chase me, I was very angry, like, someone chased me because I gave them the wrong information, and I felt sorry for you, brother, are you so good? Why do I like you so much? ……”

Speaking later, Chen Ke's voice gradually lowered.

Listening to her stupid words, Tang Yi had a sour nose, silently hugged her shoulders, and did not speak.

After walking a few steps, Tang Yi said softly, "Paul is in Yanjing, right?" Got in trouble? ”

"Well, what about the police station, it seems that someone was beaten." Chen Ke rubbed into Tang Yi's arms again, hugging him tightly, as if he was about to melt into Tang Yi's body.

Tang Yi said: "Then let's go and take a look, why did I come to you, I can't ignore it like this." ”

Chen Ke raised his face amusedly, "I knew you would say that, hypocrisy." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Hypocrisy or not, it's okay, you have to do what you have to do, I admit that I'm uncomfortable, will you be happier?" ”

Chen Ke smiled slightly, took Tang Yi's shoulders and walked to a docking card, stretched out his hand to beckon a taxi, and said: "Pual is very handsome, brother, don't have a dark psychological attack, find someone to put him in a sack and throw him into the river." ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't squeak.

……

Paul is indeed handsome, blonde and blue-eyed, a typical Western beautiful man.

Tang Yi did not enter the police station, waited outside, and after a while, he saw Chen Ke and Paul coming out of the administrative hall of the police station, Paul was very excited, compared to what Chen Ke said, closer, but heard Paul speak in blunt Chinese, and said in a loud voice: "I know, you won't leave me alone, God, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”

Chen Ke walked to Tang Yi's side and said to Paul: "This is my boyfriend Tang Yi, now you believe it, right?" ”

Paul's bright smile froze, looking at Tang Yi, but he quickly regained his demeanor and said politely: "I'm sorry Mr. Tang, I'm too abrupt to show love to Miss Chen Ke in front of you." I'm Paul. ”

Tang Yi stretched out his hand and shook him, but Paul said: "But I want to tell you that if you and Miss Chen Ke don't get married for a day, I won't give up, as long as you don't get married, she has the right to choose." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Probably." Feeling that Chen Ke was leaning on his body softly, he pointed to the small garden in the neighborhood not far away, and said, "Go there and rest for a while." ”

Paul didn't follow, said goodbye very politely, and finally said to Chen Ke with more expectations: "I'll tell my father to open a branch in Yanjing, or I can also find a job by myself and support myself, I hope you don't get married too early, give me a little time." ”

Chen Ke took Tang Yi's hand and said to Paul very seriously: "We get married next month, you won't ask me to postpone the wedding for you, right?" ”

The look on Paul's face finally dimmed, and he was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, congratulations." ”

Sitting on a long bamboo bench in the small garden, watch Paul's back slowly disappear around the corner of the street.

Tang Yi didn't speak, just hugged Chen Ke's slender shoulders, and after a while, he smiled and said, "You're still so stupid." ”

Chen Ke chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not the little girl who chased your ass and looked at you higher than the sky at that time, I know what I'm doing, besides, even if I don't have you, I won't marry a foreign devil, brother, in the incident just now, you just played the role of a shield, and you won't be a mess of yourself, right?" ”

Tang Yi smiled, but Chen Ke had already leaned his fragrant and pleasant hairstyle on Tang Yi's chest, listened to Tang Yi's heartbeat, and slowly fell asleep............

After returning to the Yellow Sea, Tang Yi immediately focused his work on the demonstration procedure for the bid to host the World Expo, convened a forum with experts from all walks of life, listened to their opinions, and went deeper into the districts and cities to talk with local party and government cadres and inquire about their attitude towards the bid for the World Expo.

Tang Yi went down to the district and city, without a secretary. It's been like this lately, as long as he goes down, he won't let anyone follow. This "anyone", of course, includes Lu Yibo. Therefore, after Tang Yi left, Lu Yibo seized the time to deal with a few documents that had been backlogged due to going to Beijing, and then looked at the cheat board, and there was nothing special to do on the note board. At this time, he felt that he should really go home, he had just picked up his father-in-law and mother-in-law from the countryside, and many follow-up things had not yet been settled. But he always felt that there was still something to do, that is, he couldn't get up.

Ten minutes later, the phone on the desk rang suddenly. Lu Yibo was stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

This was expected, he knew who was calling the call, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he went to grab the phone anyway.

Sure enough, the call was from Wang Lizhen, an old leader of his party school and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Recently, Secretary Wang always calls Mayor Tang when he is away. This law has been very obvious. The content of the phone call is also increasingly detached from work, and "carelessly" extends to non-work areas.

Lu Yibo is a very sensitive person. Therefore, he was clearly aware of what was happening, a little uneasy, a little frightened, and even a little embarrassed, and the hand holding the microphone was slightly oozing beads of sweat.

"Coming back?" Secretary Wang's voice was very soft, but it made Lu Yibo shudder for a while.

"Secretary Wang, you're back...... I came back the day before yesterday......" Lu Yibo replied cautiously. In fact, when the Standing Committee was held in the afternoon, the two of them had already met, and Lu Yibo even went over to say hello to her. But Secretary Wang still had to ask like this, as if she was particularly concerned about Lu Yibo.

"It's been a hard journey." Wang Haizhen said a few words, and then asked softly, "How is Mayor Tang?" You okay? ”

"It's okay...... It's okay. Lu Yibo replied vaguely.

"Nothing?" Wang Lizhen asked again. She wanted to know what Tang Yi had done and who he had met in Yanjing, in addition to the information that had been publicly conveyed at the Standing Committee meeting in the afternoon.

Of course, it was inconvenient for her to ask so bluntly, but the meaning was quite clear.

"In the big picture, I should say ...... There is no ......"

"What about the small ones?" Secretary Wang laughed.

"I don't know very well about this, I wasn't there when Mayor Tang talked to the leaders of the ministries and commissions......"

Wang Lizhen sighed: "When will you come up to me to sit down for a while, let's talk casually?" ”

Lu Yibo agreed perfunctorily and hung up the phone, only then did he feel that his clothes were soaked.

He knew that as the mayor's secretary, he should not have frequent contacts and too close contact with other city party committee leaders except for the needs of work. This is an unwritten rule of high-level political life, a conventional work discipline.

Now, in desperation, he has gone to Secretary Wang's door several times, although he didn't talk about any substantive surnames, but he knew that he stepped on the line.

It is said that a considerable number of local party and government officials have given Mayor Tang a very high evaluation, and this cannot but make some people in the city party committee worried, especially when he heard that Feng Yuelun, secretary of the Fuping City CPC Committee, openly shouted the slogan of "conscientiously studying the spirit of Mayor Tang Yi's speech" at a meeting of cadres in the whole city of Fuping, and this is tantamount to dropping a bombshell on the officialdom of the Yellow Sea and getting involved in it. Lu Yibo, who knows some insiders very well, knows more clearly what this means, the Yellow Sea, the prelude to the upcoming turmoil.

There was a soft knock on the office door, interrupting Lu Yibo's thoughts.

It was Deng Wenzhi, the secretary general of the political axe, who came in, Lu Yibo hurriedly stood up, Secretary General Deng knew Mayor Tang's itinerary, and at this time, he naturally had something to find himself.

With a gentle smile on his face, Deng Wenzhi sat down opposite the desk, and said to Lu Yibo: "Sit, sit." ”

"Yibo, it's been a few months since I came to work in the office, what do you know?" When Deng Wenzhi asked, the smile on his face became unfathomable.

Lu Yibo said cautiously: "The secretarial work is not easy at all, especially from Mayor Tang's high standards and high requirements, I am still far from it." ”

"Have you ever thought about going down and exercising? Composition secret, a bit overkill. Taking advantage of Lu Yibo's words, Deng Wenzhi led the topic to what he wanted to talk about.

"Go down?" Lu Yibo was stunned for a moment, looking at Deng Wenzhi's kind smile, he knew that if it wasn't for Mayor Tang's intentions, Secretary General Deng would not have come to say this to him.

Deng Wenzhi looked at him for a moment, waiting for his answer, and seemed to want to know more about him, because Deng Wenzhi suddenly found that he didn't know much about this distant relative at all, for example, what is the relationship between him and Secretary Wang? What was Mayor Tang removing him for?

Under Deng Wenzhi's gaze, Lu Yibo nodded lightly and said, "I obey the arrangement, and besides, I also want to change the environment." ”

Deng Wenzhi said with a smile: "That's okay, tomorrow you will hand over the work, return to the secretariat temporarily, and we will talk about the new work arrangements, but Mayor Tang has explained that he will try his best to arrange you to a position where you can shine, as if he is ready to arrange for you to be the deputy secretary of the important district of Fuping, rest assured, it's a good thing." As he spoke, he gently patted Lu Yibo's shoulder.

"Okay." Lu Yibo's voice was a little astringent, he really didn't expect Mayor Tang to arrange him like this, he thought that it was Mayor Tang who discovered his abnormality and was ready to send him into the cold palace.

Looking at Deng Wenzhi's back, Lu Yibo slowly sat on the chair, and in his heart, he was inexplicably relaxed, and he was finally relieved, wasn't it?

……

A brand-new Audi with a cold glow in the setting light is speeding on the highway from Fuping to the city.

Sitting in the car, Tang Yi's mobile phone suddenly rang, picked it up and looked at the number, it was Duan Hejun, deputy director of the National People's Congress and chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions.

Tang Yi pondered and answered the phone.

"Mayor Tang, are you off work? Have a meal together? ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "I just came out of Fuping, I can go back to the city in about half an hour, I won't eat for the time being, I want to talk to me about the fund, right?" ”

Duan Hejun said with a smile: "That's not all, our National People's Congress is currently conducting a governance evaluation, mayor, you won't have heard of it, right?" ”

"I've heard of some." Of course, Tang Yi knew, and he knew that this governance evaluation was a weather vane to a certain extent, and it was his first examination.

Duan Hejun said: "The results have not come out yet, but I have visited some people's congress deputies, and they have a high degree of support for you, but I still have some hidden worries, because when I talked to them, I found that some deputies have no understanding of your governance ideas at all, and most of the deputies think that you are the airborne mayor from the central government, and they don't know your work experience at the grassroots level at all. ”

Tang Yi said interestingly: "You go on." ”

"So, I thought, how many of the hundreds of deputies in the city will get to know you seriously? And how many people can foresee the opportunity you bring to the development of the Yellow Sea? ”

Tang Yi smiled: "It's over, it's over!" ”

Duan Hejun said: "I'm also telling the truth, I really think that the city's people's congress deputies should be invited to have zero contact with you, then I think, probably these deputies will be like me, and find that our new mayor is very worthy of support." ”

"Of course, there is no condition for you to have zero contact with everyone now, I just feel it."

Tang Yi smiled: "Let it be, if you want to understand my policy program, you can listen to the work report at the National People's Congress, and you don't have to make it so complicated." ”

Duan Hejun said: "But I always feel that the work report is too procedural, the mayor...... Forget it, you don't care. ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Then I really don't care!" ”

Duan Hejun also laughed and sighed.

Tang Yi changed the topic and asked, "How is the discussion of the fund?" ”

Duan Hejun didn't hide it, and said: "Zhou Feng, even our vice chairman who has financial power has always disagreed, and I can't help it, I can't expand the contradictions." ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, and said: "That's not to say, the establishment of a fund will make the long-term and orderly healthy development of the warmth project, if you have to go around every year, I can now make an assertion, sooner or later, you will not be able to meet the minimum standard of six million per year." ”

"Director Duan, which is more important than a little contradiction between work and a cause for the welfare of all poor employees, I think the latter is more important, right?"

Duan Hejun sighed: "What the mayor criticized is that I will review it myself, and hold a grassroots cadre meeting to listen to the opinions of all cadres. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "That's right, and I think that Secretary Cui will also support the launch of the fund, there is no doubt about it." ”

Duan Hejun didn't seem to care much about Secretary Cui's attitude, and said: "Then I will follow the mayor's opinion and will definitely arrange the establishment of the fund smoothly." ”

After talking a few more words about work, Tang Yi hung up the phone.

Leaning on the seat, pondering two names, "Zhou Feng" and "Zhou Wenkai". Tang Yi slowly closed his eyes.
