Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Turmoil of Transformation

On the second floor of the Blue Sky Hotel, Tang Yi looked at the TV and frowned slightly.

“…… It is said that we want to make political achievements, but what are political achievements, let's talk about reducing the burden, and reducing the burden on the peasants, that is, real political achievements......

The tea overflowed, and Sister Hong suddenly realized that she was busy putting down the teapot, wiping the water stains on the table with a napkin, and looking at the special news of the market station, Tang Yi, who was calm and atmospheric on the rostrum, faced the demeanor of the cadres under the stage when he spoke, Sister Hong was amazed in her heart, and wanted to say a few words to praise Tang Yi, but found that Tang Yi frowned and hurriedly swallowed the words into her stomach.

This was Tang Yi's speech at the year-end summary meeting of the Office for Rectifying Work Style, and at the end of the year, there were more meetings of various departments, large and small.

Tang Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of deputy director Wang Zhenqing.

"Director Tang, you haven't rested yet, haha." Wang Zhenqing answered the phone with a smile.

Tang Yien sighed and said, "Look at the two sets of programs on the market station." ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhenqing said as he heard the sound of turning on the TV.

Tang Yi said: "Zhenqing, say hello to the city station, in the future, this kind of general surname work conference should not be used as a special topic, and the internal meeting should not be spread too widely." ”

Wang Zhenqing said: "Okay. He smiled again: "It is estimated that Director Yuan Jie made it." ”

Tang Yi snorted, "I'll talk to him when I go back." ”

After hanging up the phone, Sister Hong smiled at Tang Yi and asked, "Adjust the station?" ”

Tang Yi nodded.

Sister Hong just picked up the remote control and changed the channel, when she heard the sound of high heels outside, and then the curtain was lifted, and the beautiful Ye Xiaolu walked in.

When he saw Tang Yiye Xiaolu, he shouted, "It's really here!" I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

The loose and fashionable light gray knee-length blouse, the butterfly-like white gauze tie on the chest is unusually bright, and the zebra striped black and white pantyhose with a seductive sense of surname outline Ye Xiaolu's beautiful legs with full charm, which looks slender and weak and has a sense of surname, which brings a great impact to people's senses, making men unconsciously have the urge to conquer and ravage.

Pale gold high heels walked over with small steps with a sense of surname, Ye Xiaolu honestly and unceremoniously sat opposite Tang Yi, picked up the teacup and poured tea by herself, and said to Sister Hong: "Sister Hong, come and eat, starve to death!" ”

Sister Hong agreed and said, "You talk." He turned and walked out of the box.

Tang Yi smiled: "What's the matter?" I haven't seen you in months. ”

"Busy, for the Spring Festival to take a big holiday, I fight!" Ye Xiaolu looked thirsty, but the action of drinking tea was still very delicate and attractive.

Tang Yi nodded, and asked again, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Ye Xiaolu said: "I can't look for you if it's okay?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't squeak.

"Lulu will have dinner tomorrow, she said to call you." Ye Xiaolu stared at Tang Yi and said, "Hey, you guys won't really get good, right?" Do you have bad thoughts when you see Lulu getting rich? ”

Tang Yi frowned and said, "Do you think I'm like a little white face?" ”

"Then who knows? Lulu came back from Glycoside and always liked to ask you about you on the phone, did something happen to you in Glycoside? Ye Xiaolu looked at Tang Yi, as if she wanted to see something flaw on Tang Yi's face.

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, even if I want to, Lulu won't want to." ”

Ye Xiaolu nodded and said, "That's right, Lulu is also a little rich woman with a net worth of millions now!" And she told me that you should be good and stop playing blindly, you shouldn't look down on you! ”

Tang Yi ate and drank by himself, and ignored her nagging.

Ye Xiaolu looked back and said, "Why is it not good." Picking up the sanitary chopsticks on the table, he ate Tang Yi's dishes, and said: "Share some rice with me, I'm starving!" ”

Tang Yi said: "I don't have enough to eat. ”

Ye Xiaolu glared angrily: "I don't think you're dirty, you told me that you don't have enough to eat?" Does anyone have your last name? Reaching out and snatching the small bowl of rice in front of Tang Yi, he sandwiched the top layer of rice in the bowl into the eating plate in front of Tang Yi, and said; This one is up to you! After eating it himself, Tang Yi reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said, "You eat, I won't eat it!" ”

Ye Xiaolu smiled and said: "That's right, I'm really hungry, I'll help you fry a few eggs when I go back in a while, you have to wait, help you cook a few dishes, Da Shao, don't be angry!" ”

Tang Yi shook his head, took out a cigarette, and lit one, generally speaking, in a small space with a lady, only Tang Yi would smoke when he felt close to someone.

Ye Xiaolu saw the Zhonghua and Zippo on the table, so she sighed and said. "I almost forgot." Turning around, he took out a pack of tin cigarettes printed in English from his delicate handbag, and said, "For you, my first flight to Africa, I wonder how I have to buy you a gift, I heard that this Mao country tobacco is very famous, this box of cigarettes is more than 80 dollars." ”

Tang Yi took it and threw it into the handbag indifferently, seeing that Ye Xiaolu was a little helpless, chewing the broccoli in his mouth hard, as if he was biting Tang Yi's meat.

Tang Yi asked with concern: "Why did you fly to Africa?" It seems that there is less subsidy for flying Africa, right? ”

Ye Xiaolu said: "Help people take the class, I also really want to go to Africa to see." ”

Tang Yi nodded and said, "It's better not to be excluded." ”

Ye Xiaolu felt more comfortable in her heart, and said, "You still have a little conscience." Then he asked: "Hey, will you go tomorrow, Lulu said that she has a membership in Blue Island, please go to Blue Island to play, I will leave the day after tomorrow, let's go together!" ”

Tang Yi said: "Tomorrow Friday, I have to go to work." ”

Ye Xiaoluqi said: "Are you going to stare at the early stall by yourself now?" There is progress! ”

Tang Yi said helplessly: "I'll go to work in the Ministry of Supervision." ”

Ye Xiaolu nodded understandingly, and asked again: "By the way, what are you doing in the Glycoside Prefecture?" Did you make money? ”

Grief is greater than heart death, Tang Yi didn't bother to explain, nodded casually, "Well, I earned a little." ”

Ye Xiaolu said: "Don't lie to me. ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "If you tell the truth or falsehood, you can choose your surname to believe it!" ”

At this time, Xiaocui sent a bowl of hot shredded noodles with green vegetables and meat, and Ye Xiaolu said to Tang Yi: "You eat, I'm full." ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, "I won't eat it!" Being interrupted in the middle of a meal is the most boring. ”

Ye Xiaolu chuckled: "Yes, I know that you are very particular, don't I apologize, I'll help you fry two dishes when you go back, it's all right?" ”

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "I have something to do at night." ”

Ye Xiaolu was slightly stunned, and then asked in a low voice: "Da Shao, are you really angry?" ”

Tang Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Am I like such a small-bellied person?" I have business to draw up a document. ”

Ye Xiaolu stretched out her foot and gently kicked Tang Yi's calf, and chuckled: "Playing music every day, it's sad to die!" ”

Tang Yi sighed helplessly.

……

As the Spring Festival approached, red lanterns were also hung next to the magnificent gate of the Ministry of Supervision, and the topics of discussion gradually became how to spend the Spring Festival, where to travel, and so on.

Tang Yi stood in front of the window and smoked silently, when suddenly the phone on the table rang, Tang Yi came over and picked it up, and there was a loud male voice on the phone, "Director Tang, right?" I'm Yue Peimin! ”

Tang Yi was busy greeting him.

"Director Tang, thank you for your help."

Tang Yi was slightly stunned, not knowing what he was referring to, so he had to say vaguely: "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

Yue Peimin said a few more polite words to Tang Yi and hung up the phone.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, and he didn't know where he could help him. Shaking his head, he snuffed out his cigarette butt, sat back at his desk, and picked up a document he had drawn up on the table and looked at it.

On the basis of the work of rectifying unhealthy tendencies in '99, Tang Yi put forward new requirements for the work in 2000, that is, to resolutely stop and correct the extravagant and wasteful practices of exceeding the scope and standards of official receptions, traveling at public expense, and building luxurious office buildings, as well as the practice of meeting the sea in the mountains and mountains, and engaging in "image projects" and "performance projects" that are divorced from reality and cost the people and money, as well as other behaviors that hurt the feelings of the masses, ignore the sufferings of the masses, and harm the interests of the masses.

At that time, the atmosphere of building luxury office buildings and engaging in face-saving projects was not very common, and Tang Yi felt that it was necessary to post a reminder in advance, which was better than the remedial effect later.

"Ding ding" knocked on the door gently, and then the typist Du Wenqi came in with a document and said, "Director, the document you want." She walked over and placed the papers on her desk, turning to leave.

Tang Yi said, "Thank you." But seeing Du Wenqi's eyes red, it was a little strange, and she was not in a high mood today, so she asked, "Xiao Du, what's wrong?" Isn't it too busy a year ago, so tired that you cry your nose? ”

Although Tang Yi is not a few years older than Du Wenqi, the atmosphere of talking with Du Wenqi is really a mentality of communication between an elder and a little girl.

Du Wenqi stood still, bowed his head and said, "Director, I'm fine." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Is that waiting for the transfer file to be in a hurry?" ”

Du Wenqi is a secretarial professional, and her work ability is also good, Tang Yi often asks her to print some more confidential documents for herself, seeing that the little girl speaks and works solidly, and she works very hard to do what she explains, and she has helped herself change a few words and phrases that are not very tightly worded, as if she has become the secretary of her own work style correction office, on the contrary, Tang Yi, who is a few other secretaries, is very uncomfortable, so he applied for an additional administrative quota with the ministry to the agency service center, and is ready to transfer Du Wenqi from career to administrative editor. Directly transferred to the wind correction room for preparation.

At that time, there were many units with mixed establishment of career administration, and it was common for career editors to be transferred to administrative divisions, unlike later, when career editors wanted to be transferred to administrative divisions, unless they were promoted to higher ranks, they had to take the civil service examination.

The quota was about to come down, and Tang Yi also called Director Zhou Hailan Zhou of the agency service center and asked her to help Du Wenqi go through the procedures, but she forgot to urge this matter in the past few days.

Tang Yi smiled: "I'll call Director Zhou now and ask her to hurry up and help you implement it, okay!" ”

Du Wenqi's eyes were red, and he almost wanted to cry, and said in a low voice: "No, no need, thank you, Director, Director Zhou talked to me yesterday, saying that I am not qualified, and my ideological consciousness is immature, so I will give the quota for the transformation to others." ”

Tang Yi said funny: "Lie to you, right?" How can this be? ”

Du Wenqi began to wipe her tears and sobbed: "Yes, it's true......"

Tang Yi frowned and said, "Wait, I'll ask!" "Pick up the phone and dial Zhou Hailan's number.

After two beeps, Zhou Hailan's sweet voice sounded, "Hello." ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "I, Tang Yi, Director Zhou, are you bothered?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Tang Yi asked: "I want to ask, what happened to Du Wenqi?" ”

Zhou Hailan smiled: "Ah, I wanted to call you yesterday, Minister Yue said that he talked to you, why, Minister Yue didn't call you?" ”

Tang Yi said: "What do you say?" "I have gradually understood in my heart.

"That's the quota, alas, Xiao Du is young, and willing to study, I heard that last year's civil service exam was a few points worse, and there are more opportunities, if she can't take the exam this year, I will definitely squeeze out a quota for her, but Lao Zhou is old, and if he doesn't transfer, there will be no chance, Minister Yue was concerned about this matter two days ago, and I heard that there is such a quota and said that I will use this, and I said that I will explain to you."

"I know that you and Minister Yue are good friends, and Minister Yue said so, I had to give the quota to Lao Zhou, Director Tang, I'm sorry, I wanted to communicate with you as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, do you still need me to talk about the matter between you and Minister Yue? So, I didn't call you yesterday. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Oh, that's okay, I know." Hung up the phone and said to Du Wenqi: "No way, there are comrades who need more, but it's not right for you to be emotional, work steadfastly, the establishment is just a small problem, as long as you work motivated, there are more opportunities." ”

Du Wenqi sighed and said, "I, I'll be fine tomorrow." ”

Seeing Du Wenqi's tall figure disappear behind the door, Tang Yi lit a cigarette, and was even more annoyed in his heart.

Yue Peimin's relatives? I don't know how many turns my relatives have turned, otherwise I would have to wait until now to make a transfer? What Minister Yue cares about, maybe Zhou Hailan took the initiative to call Yue Peimin after the transfer, first, to find a shield, and second, to help Minister Yue.

For the sake of this quota, she may offend herself, and there are some stories to come, of course, when Zhou Hailan thinks about it, she may feel that this quota is not a big deal, and she thinks that between Minister Yue's relatives and Du Wenqi, she will choose the former.

Tang Yi slowly smoked a cigarette, pondering Zhou Hailan, she is indeed a powerful person, her life is beautiful, she is even more exquisite in the ministry, and the leaders of the ministry value her very much, and she is the granddaughter-in-law of a martyr, who takes care of their family and old comrades-in-arms, to a certain extent, she is more taken care of than the children of living cadres.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and continued to look at the document.

……

When Tang Yi came home in the evening, he found Ye Xiaolu's father sitting in the corridor of the corridor, leaning against the security door of Ye Xiaolu's unit, yawning, and looking like he hadn't woken up.

Tang Yi hesitated, didn't pay attention to him, opened the door and entered the house, and counted out some money from the bedside table in the bedroom, asking Sister Hong to work part-time.

When I went out again, I saw that there was another young man in his twenties at the door of Ye Xiaolu's unit, wearing a jacket and trousers, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very simple.

The young man was taking out a stack of money and handing it to Ye Xiaolu's father, Ye Xiaolu's father smiled from ear to ear, patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Good son-in-law, don't lose my good son-in-law." ”

The young man smiled innocently and said, "Uncle, if you have any more difficulties, just call me, and I will definitely be there with you." ”

Father Ye nodded again and again and said, "Dacheng, I finally didn't misunderstand you, you are a good boy!" ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

When he entered the elevator, Ye's father and the young man also followed, and Tang Yi also knew that the young man was Ye Xiaolu's boyfriend, what was the big deal.

Out of the gate of the community, the young man diligently helped Ye's father take a taxi, sent Ye's father to the taxi, and kept shaking his hand until the rental disappeared before he sighed softly.

Tang Yi lit a cigarette, and didn't rush to the Blue Sky Hotel opposite, seeing the young man turn around and walk towards the bus stop, Tang Yi said; "You're doing this, you're actually hurting him."

The young man was slightly stunned, turned around, looked at Tang Yi a few times, and said, "Are you talking to me?" ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly and said, "I am Ye Xiaolu's neighbor and friend, I know a little bit about the situation in her family." ”

The young man suddenly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Tang Yi and said, "I know you, Ye Zi mentioned it to me, your name is Tang Yi, right?" My name is Gu Dacheng. ”

Holding Tang Yi's hand, Gu Dacheng said; "Today's matter, don't tell Ye Zi, she has long said that I am not allowed to give Uncle Ye money."

Tang Yi said: "Do you know that Ye Xiaolu and his father took money to gamble? ”

Gu Dacheng sighed, "Yes, I know, I also know that giving him money is harmful to him, but Uncle Ye called me and asked me to come, and if I want to say that I don't care about him, I, I really can't bear it!" ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly and said, "Do you know that you call it a good heart to do bad things?" Then he felt that his tone was a little heavy, so he smiled, "You're not angry when I, an outsider, say that, right?" ”

"Don't be angry, you're right, I also know that I'm doing this to connive at Uncle Ye, but I just can't make up my mind." Gu Dacheng sighed and shook his head.

Tang Yi was a little helpless, this is really an honest person he has seen very little, especially in the capital, there are many people who play slippery and make annihilation, but there are few honest and simple people.

Tang Yi said: "Being known by Ye Xiaolu, she must be very angry, you, it's better not to be so indiscriminate." ”

Gu Dacheng nodded, and said a little anxiously; "You, don't tell Yezi, okay?"

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "I have to tell Ye Xiaolu about this." "If I don't tell Ye Xiaolu and take care of Dacheng's surname, I'm afraid I won't be able to change this bad problem, and I will continue to give Ye's father money in the future, and maybe something will happen.

Gu Dacheng was stunned for a moment and said, "I said that I won't give Uncle Ye any more money in the future, so can't you help me hide it from Yezi?" ”

Tang Yi said: "It stands to reason that this is your own problem, I am not qualified to take care of it, let alone help you hide it or not, so let's do it, you and Ye Xiaolu said that I, an outsider, will not talk much." ”

Gu Dacheng gradually became angry and said: "You said it yourself, this is our business, I don't tell Ye Zi, what does it have to do with you, you are a big man, why are you so broken-mouthed?" ”

Tang Yi scratched his head a little, and the honest man was even more tempered.

"Anyway, I'll tell you, you have to tell Ye Zi about this today, I'm not done with you!" After Gu Dacheng finished speaking, he left angrily.

Tang Yi shook his head, hoping that Gu Dacheng would confess to Ye Xiaolu by himself, as for himself, let's just talk about it, if I really told Ye Xiaolu about her boyfriend, no matter what the starting point is, it doesn't feel good, not to mention that I am not so boring.
