The Standing Committee is near the sea, looking at the sea and sky in the south, looking at the green water and green mountains in the north, it is really refreshing, in the Standing Committee, the two-story villas are separate courtyards, and Zhao Enhong's family lives in the No. 16 courtyard.

The door wall surrounded by wisteria is a little solemn and quiet.

Cai Ming rang the doorbell, and after a while, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and then the iron door was opened from the inside, and the door was opened by a young man in his twenties, who looked a little like Zhao Enhong.

Cai Ming introduced Tang Yi with a smile, "This is Mayor Tang, come to visit you." ”

"Ahh The young man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly called Mayor Tang, got out of the way and invited Mayor Tang into the courtyard, and then turned back to the house and shouted, "Mom! Mayor Tang is here! There was joy in his voice.

There was a chaotic movement in the living room, and then a group of people came out of it, and Tang Yi, the woman with gray temples in the front, knew that it was Zhao Enhong's wife.

After Zhao's wife heard the bad news, it was said that she fainted several times, and she was not in good health, but now she is even more depressed, and she asked several relatives to walk with her.

Seeing Tang Yi, Zhao's wife burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Mayor Tang, you, you want to give us Lao Zhao the master, he is strong, why did he suddenly go, it must be, it must be the fox spirit......"

Those relatives were also indignant one by one, and they demanded that the vixen be severely punished.

Cai Ming frowned, and said in his heart No wonder no one came, just make trouble in your family, can Mayor Enhong's reputation be good?

Zhao Enhong's son Zhao Kai is not very old, but he has a lot of vision, and he is busy persuading his mother, and said: "Mom, please sit in Mayor Tang's house, and talk about these words when you come into the house!" ”

After entering the house, Zhao's wife once again said that the cause of her husband's death was suspicious, and Tang Yi sighed, "Sister-in-law, there is no doubt about Mayor Enhong's normal death, I came mainly to hear what you want, and if you can solve it organizationally, I will definitely help you solve it." ”

A square-faced middle-aged man in his forties also said: "Yes, sister-in-law, listen to Mayor Tang, don't turn over those things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds." "He is Zhao Enhong's distant cousin Zhao Jianguo, and he is a deputy cadre of the National Taxation Bureau. Among the relatives of the Zhao family, his mind is the most active, and he knows what kind of situation the Zhao family is facing now, and the mayor of Tang is willing to come, which is nostalgic for the old, and he always says that these things that discredit his cousin are too ignorant of advancing and retreating.

Tang Yi nodded to him, and Zhao Jianguo immediately felt comfortable, and nodded with a smile on his face.

Zhao's wife didn't have any opinions, and at this time, she wiped her tears with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't say a complete word.

Tang Yi talked about his opinions on Mayor Zhao's funeral, the specifications of the memorial service and the farewell ceremony of the body, and asked Zhao's wife, "Sister-in-law, take a look, do you have any other requirements?" ”

Zhao's wife shook her head and just wiped her tears, but there were many clear-eyed people in the relatives of the Zhao family, I thought that Mayor Tang was just going through the motions, and I didn't want to see that the posture was really to help the deceased Mayor Zhao arrange the funeral, these days they really realized what it is for people to go to tea and cool, just Tang Yi entered the yard, and most of them made a fuss about the fox spirit with a resentful mouth, and now they all looked at each other, their eyes were surprised, but anyone who has a little way, where do they not know what the situation is outside, the leaders of the municipal party committee, it's too late to hide from the Zhao family, Where will you take the initiative to provoke a body of scratching?

Zhao's wife's sister is very shrewd, and after listening to Tang Yi's speech, she couldn't help but ask: "Mayor Tang, will my brother-in-law's memorial service really be attended by the main leaders of the municipal party committee?" ”

Tang Yi nodded, and said with certainty: "Don't worry about this, at least, I will definitely come to participate, Mayor Enhong's contribution to the construction of our Yellow Sea is obvious to all, even if he is gone, the municipal party committee and the people of Huanghai will not forget him." ”

The people of the Zhao family immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as the psychology of breaking the jar was gone, they were all restrained in front of Tang Yi, and Zhao's wife and sister pulled Zhao Kai and asked him to kowtow to Mayor Tang to thank him, but Tang Yi hurriedly stopped him.

After chatting with the Zhao family for a while, Tang Yi left his personal phone number to Zhao Kai again, telling him that he could find himself for anything, and then he said goodbye, and the Zhao family sent it out together, Tang Yi went to the Audi in front of the hospital, but Cai Ming stayed and instructed the Zhao family a few words, naturally they were nod, don't make trouble anymore, it is not good for everyone.

When he got into the car, Cai Ming had an extra piece of paper in his hand with a phone number on it. The Audi drove out slowly, and Cai Ming turned around and said: "Mayor, it turns out that Mayor Enhong's relatives went to Lin Fen to settle accounts just now, and they promised to call someone back immediately, and they won't make trouble in the future." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, Cai Ming shook the paper in his hand again, and said, "Lin Fen's phone number ......"

Tang Yi stretched out his hand, and Cai Ming hurriedly handed the piece of paper to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi glanced at it silently, and said, "Give her a call." ”

……

Lin Fen never dreamed that she would receive a call from the mayor's secretary, let alone see Mayor Tang's secretary.

When she started receiving calls from Cai Ming, Lin Fen thought it was someone playing a prank, and then turned off her phone until someone called the door.

Lin Fen now lives in her parents' house, took leave to avoid the limelight in her parents' house, and her parents are ordinary workers. There is a small unit with one bedroom and one living room.

Cai Ming sat on the sofa, Lin Fen poured water for him, and then stood there, looking down at the ground.

Lin Fen was not yet thirty years old, with a good face, wearing a fashionable blue dress, slim, standing and standing, she became sad, and said with red circles: "Secretary Cai, I, I just want to see Enhong for the last time, no, I didn't go to Zhao's house to make trouble." ”

Cai Ming sighed softly, and said to Lin Fen: "Memorial service, why can't you participate, you should understand what the environment is now." ”

Lin Fen raised his head a little stubbornly, "I know, but, what about Xiaodong?" He's only four years old, and Eunhong is gone, what should he do? ”

Cai Ming was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Xiaodong? He was ...... "He had investigated Lin Fen and knew that Lin Fen had an adopted son.

Lin Fen nodded.

Cai Ming frowned, and he didn't know if Lin Fen was telling the truth or a lie, Mayor Enhong was gone, and he couldn't verify it.

Lin Fen said again: "I just want them to admit that Xiaodong is Enhong's flesh and blood, and I want Xiaodong to have something to rely on in the future!" Originally, I was going to wait for this matter to pass, but since you are here, help me make the decision, Enhong is gone, is his flesh and blood going to be a wild seed for a lifetime? ”

Cai Ming's head was a little big, and after dealing with Lin Fen a few words, he said goodbye and left the house, but the words he prepared before coming couldn't be spoken.

Sending Cai Ming away, Lin Fen sat on the sofa dejectedly, she picked up the water cup a little dazedly, and drank a sip of water tremblingly, Zhao Enhong's death hit her the hardest, all kinds of promises before, a better life prospects, and that lovely son, suddenly burst like a bubble, and even became a burden for her, thinking of Xiaodong in the kindergarten, Lin Fen felt sad in her heart, and couldn't help but wipe her tears again.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, Lin Fen hurriedly wiped away her tears, walked over and opened the door, and was stunned for a moment when she saw Cai Ming again.

Cai Ming entered the house, took the door with him, and didn't go into the living room, handed Lin Fen a check, and said, "This is for you." ”

Lin Fen took it easily, and then opened her mouth wide in surprise, it was a check for 300,000 yuan, looking at the signature, the two words "Tang Yi" of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, Lin Fen looked at Cai Ming again at a loss.

Cai Ming nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mayor Tang paid for it privately, there is nothing to see the light, you accept it, save a little use, it is enough to cultivate Xiaodong to grow up Chengren, if there is anything else...... En......" took out two more business cards and handed them to Lin Fen, "This is my personal business card with Mayor Tang, of course, it's best for you to inform me if there is something, Mayor Tang is very busy, there is no need not to bother him." ”

Lin Fen said in a trembling voice: "How can this be, I, I didn't mean that." "I wanted to return the money to Cai Ming, but I held on to it and was reluctant to let go.

Cai Ming said: "You just accept it, Mayor Tang's little heart, I'll leave first if it's okay, Mayor Tang is still waiting in the car downstairs." ”

Lin Fen's eyes flashed with tears of gratitude, and when she saw Cai Ming turn around and want to leave, she stopped Cai Ming, "You, you wait, I have something to give you." ”

In the Audi downstairs, Tang Yi smoked a cigarette silently, no matter whether that Xiaodong was Zhao Enhong's son or not, he just wanted to calm things down as soon as possible and let Lao Zhao go with peace of mind, this is the only thing that a living person can do for him.

The cigarette butt burned to his hand, Tang Yi slowly snuffed it out in the ashtray, and at this time, Cai Ming also walked out of the dilapidated residential building quickly, and Xiao Wu began to light the fire, ready to start driving.

……

In the mourning hall hall of the Huanghai Funeral Home, the farewell ceremony of the body of Zhao Enhong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, is underway.

In the cold wind, hundreds of wreaths were neatly arranged in front of the mourning hall, and white couplets and black veils conveyed mourning. Zhao Enhong's portrait is hung in the middle of the mourning hall, and the expressions of people inside and outside the mourning hall are solemn. Walking into the mourning hall, there is an obituary issued by the Municipal Axe Funeral Committee posted on the wall. The big characters of "Deze Lasts Forever" on the couplet are eye-catching and solemn, and the mourning hall looks solemn and solemn.

Zhao's wife stood one meter away from the body and shook hands with the people who came to see the remains one by one and thanked them. She fell into a deep grief and choked up and cried all the time.

To everyone's surprise, Tang Yi and almost all the municipal axe leaders attended the funeral ceremony, including Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Wenkai.

Zhou Wenkai was wearing a black suit, with a small white flower on his chest, looking at Tang Yi who shook hands with Zhao's wife in front of him and comforted Zhao's wife in a low voice, he was full of emotion in his heart, although he was almost forced by Tang Yi, but when he came to the solemn mourning hall, looking at Zhao Enhong's peaceful remains, and the gratitude in the eyes of the Zhao family's family when he saw him, Zhou Wenkai felt something in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Tang Yi again, in the case of the collective silence of the municipal party committee, Mayor Tang silently ran for Lao Zhao's memorial service, and even rumors spread that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to send an investigation team to investigate Zhao Enhong, Tang Yi was still indifferent and insisted on setting Zhao Enhong's memorial service as the highest standard in the Yellow Sea.

Tang Yi privately gave the mysterious woman money in the municipal party committee and municipal axe compound is not a secret, because the city bureau investigated Lin Fen's account and found this mysterious money, but when tracing the source, the city bureau found that the authority was not enough, the bank did not cooperate, only knew that the account of the transfer account was Tang Yi, Zhang Dingzhong reported to Tang Yi, and got Tang Yi's affirmative reply, the money was transferred to Lin Fen by him, although Zhang Dingzhong tried his best to suppress the matter, but inevitably, everyone who should know also knew about it.

Zhou Wenkai couldn't have imagined that Tang Yi was such a person, how to say it, very humane, not the leader's pretentiousness, it is really very different from others, it can be said that he is naïve, or it can be said that he is smart, from which point of view, but at least, as a person in Tang Yi's circle, he is happy, and it is no wonder that he will have a dead friend who comes all the way to follow, no wonder Sun Wangwang and Deng Wenzhi respect Tang Yi so much, no wonder there were rumors a while ago that the new mayor of Anton may want to eliminate Tang Yi's influence, The meeting criticized some of Tang Yi's previous policies, but soon found that it was difficult to carry out the work, and he was soon transferred back to the provincial capital.

Perhaps, Tang Yi shows his personality charm through such small things, not even counting the more temporary political gains and losses, between the gains and losses, who can really judge?

Turning around and looking at Lao Zhao who was sleeping peacefully, Zhou Wenkai sighed in his heart, Lao Zhao's last time he stood in line, he finally didn't follow the wrong person, thinking that he could really rest in peace under Jiuquan.

At the end of the memorial service, when Zhou Wenkai walked out of the mourning hall closely behind Tang Yi, looking at Tang Yi's back, he suddenly felt a little inexplicably excited, Tang Yi's back was not broad, and even a little thin, but Zhou Wenkai suddenly felt that walking behind his back was very reassuring and comfortable. How do you feel like you've just started working? At that time, he would have this feeling when he met a leader who was full of smiles, promoted him, and valued him, but often he would find that this feeling was not reliable, and he could not imagine that after so many years of experience in his career, he would have this feeling again, is he old or Tang Yi is too unique? Zhou Wenkai thought silently, unconsciously followed Tang Yi's steps, and slowly walked out of the mourning hall.

……

At the secretary's office meeting, Wang Lizhen glanced at Tang Yi, who had only entered the venue for a long time, and felt a little disdainful in her heart. It's been overdone, right?

In Wang Lizhen's opinion, Tang Yi has been out of proportion, and what he has done recently has stepped on the line and crossed the line.

Just when Wang Lizhen was about to lash out at Tang Yi's recent practices, Tang Yi suddenly threw a mobile phone packed in a transparent plastic bag on the conference table with a "bang", looked at Wang Lizhen, and said word by word: "Secretary Lizhen, I don't know what you want to do?" Why do you have to do some small actions! Have you ever reflected on Mayor Enhong's death? ”

Looking at Tang Yi, whose face was sinking like water, Wang Lizhen was a little panicked, and was stunned for a moment: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

The people in the venue were also stunned, the secretary who poured the water didn't even dare to come over, the secretary who had served the secretary for a long time was used to arguing with the leader and even scolding, but he had never seen the always calm Secretary Tang make such a big fire, the conference room was silent, Huang Xiangdong slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Yi in surprise.

Tang Yi smiled, there was some sarcasm in his smile, he tapped hard with his fingers on the table next to the mobile phone, and said word by word: "This is Mayor Enhong's mobile phone, in the caller ID, since the night of his death, at ten o'clock, you have called three times, and even between one and three o'clock in the morning when the city bureau determined the time of his death, there are two of your missed calls, I want to ask you, what do you want to do with so many calls in one night?" ”

Secretary-General Qian Youzhi was busy waving his hand to the surrounding service staff, the secretary and the internal staff were busy retreating, and the secretary who recorded the spirit of the meeting also hurriedly stopped writing, seeing Cui Jingqun nodded slightly, and quietly walked out of the conference room and closed the door tightly.

Wang Lizhen was stunned for a while and said, "What's wrong with me talking to him about work?" He died a normal death, what does it have to do with me? Mayor Tang, I hope you will be responsible for what you say. "That's what I said, but the momentum was finally discouraged.

Tang Yi sighed softly, "Yes, what the hell was talked about, and why Mayor Enhong died suddenly, only God knows." ”

Wang Lizhen wanted to sneer at each other, her lips moved, and finally held back, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, and her face turned a little pale.

The conference room was silent again, Cui Jingqun coughed lightly, and said to Tang Yi: "Mayor Tang, I know you are very sad, I feel the same as you, but things have happened, we still have to look forward, right?" ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, smiled and said: "Yes, everything looks forward, but I don't understand some things, why did Mayor Enhong pass away and receive such a cold reception, can you check if there is a problem?" Before we find out and close the coffin, how can we think that he is wrong? ”

Wang Lizhen finally seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "I heard that Mayor Tang gave a sum of money, it seems to be for the woman named Lin Fen, right?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said: "Yes, why do I have my reasons for giving her this money, I don't want Mayor Enhong's memorial service to become a farce, as for the relationship between her and Mayor Enhong, I have asked the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to intervene in the investigation, if Mayor Enhong is indeed tainted, we will judge it realistically, but what is it now?" Did you convict Mayor Enhong without an investigation? ”

As if to annotate Tang Yi's words, Zeng Qingming took out a document, "This is a reply letter from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to Mayor Tang's letterhead, asking our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to seriously investigate." ”

Wang Lizhen closed her mouth, and only now did she know that Tang Yi came prepared, but she was not mad and made trouble casually.

Tang Yi then said: "No matter how Mayor Enhong's final merits are judged, right?" The deeds of Mayor Enhong that the Municipal Axe Office asked the Propaganda Department to forward are always true, right? Why does the Propaganda Department withhold and not convey it downward? Now it's good, the Yellow Sea is clearly distinguished, the following districts and municipal axe offices have received the above materials, some districts and cities have begun to organize spontaneous condolences to Mayor Enhong, and the district and city party committees have no movement, what do the masses think? What does our Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department want to do? In the end, Tang Yi was already full of voice, and the conference room was silent.

Cui Jingqun frowned and glanced at Huang Xiangdong.

Although Huang Xiangdong may not know about this matter, Huang Xiangdong is also in charge of publicity, and the people below do not understand Huang Xiangdong's intentions, so it is naturally Huang Xiangdong's responsibility.

Huang Xiangdong has always been quiet and can't be understood, and this time is no exception, just silently drinking the boiled water in the cup.

The conference room was silent for a while, Tang Yi lit a cigarette and stopped talking.

Cui Jingqun broke the silence of the conference room, coughed twice, and he said slowly: "We will slowly study the problems that Mayor Tang Yi said, and today we still have to arrange the future work as soon as possible, and now is the critical period for preparing for the World Expo. As he spoke, he said to Tang Yi: "Mayor Tang, they are all your soldiers, you should understand, who do you think is more suitable to enter the Standing Committee?" ”

Wang Lizhen scolded the old slippery head, if it weren't for Tang Yi's madness, would you mention Governor Xu's instructions? I used Governor Xu to say it all day long, and I don't know if it's true.

Tang Yi thought for a while and said: "Sun Wang, he is now the director of the Expo Bureau, he has always worked closely with Mayor Enhong, and he is also the two busiest members of the organizing committee. ”

Cui Jingqun nodded and said, "Then hopefully, Shenbo is his executive right?" The successful bid for the World Expo is indispensable! ”

Although Wang Lizhen felt very uncomfortable, but judging the situation, he also knew that he was not good at talking, Huang Xiangdong was pointed at the nose by Tang Yi to blame the Propaganda Department, although he did not respond, and gave Tang Yi a soft nail, but after all, he also lost face, seeing that his eyelids were so low, Wang Lizhen was angry, and felt that Huang Xiangdong was stable and stable, but sometimes he was not brave enough, and now Tang Yi was worried about internal and external troubles, and it was the time to beat the water dog, but he didn't want to be suddenly counted by his inexplicable counterattack, and he was about to turn over when he saw it.

What Wang Lizhen didn't expect was still behind, Feng Yuelun, secretary of the Fuping Municipal Party Committee, suddenly withdrew from the ranks of the deputy mayor, making the candidate for deputy mayor only Duan Hejun alone, Wang Lizhen ran to visit Director Lin of the National People's Congress, and the result was extremely disappointed, Lin Weiguo did not have the slightest intention of drawing Duan Hejun in the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, after all, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee had discussed it, and Duan Hejun also had some influence in the People's Congress, Lin Weiguo did not want to evolve the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress into a battlefield of direct confrontation with Tang Yi.

Wang Lizhen hated it at that time, Lin Weiguo, an old fox, must still have illusions, and if she didn't want to offend Tang Yi too much, then wait to be slowly bitten to death by Tang Yi, the evil wolf.

What annoyed Wang Lizhen was Feng Yuelun's defection, Feng Yuelun's withdrawal was not as simple as withdrawing from the competition for deputy mayor, but showed that he had completely fallen to Tang Yi, and Feng Yuelun's shrewdness and ability, even "he" was full of praise.

How did Tang Yi convince Feng Yuelun? Wang Lizhen was puzzled, in fact, let alone her, it was Tang Yi's personal secretary Cai Ming, and I didn't know what Mayor Tang and Feng Yuelun talked about, only that Feng Yuelun took the initiative to report to Tang Yi that day, and the two only talked for fifteen minutes, Feng Yuelun seemed to be in a good mood when he left, and the next day came the news that he quit the competition for deputy mayor.

In fact, Tang Yi didn't talk to him about anything, but just told him not to care about temporary gains and losses, Feng Yuelun is a smart person, he can see the causes and consequences of being put on the stage, and he understands Tang Yi's words.

When Zhou Wenkai suddenly had a-for-tat debate with Wang Lizhen like a nervous nerve and refuted Wang Lizhen speechless, Tang Yi sent out a triumphant smile from his heart, because he knew that from this moment on, after going through ups and downs in the circle of the Yellow Sea, he finally took root, like a sprout that broke the ground, and began to thrive.
