Sister Lan was startled, instinctively pushed the red envelope away, and frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

Xiaoyun's mother couldn't help complaining that she was too anxious, and said: "Sister, don't pay attention to him, he thinks everyone is the same philistine as him." ”

smiled and said in Sister Lan's ear: "Come to my store tomorrow, let's have a good chat." He added: "The matter between the two of us can ask you to say a lot of kind words in front of Secretary Tang." ”

Sister Lan looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of Xiaoyun's mother before leaving, her face changed, and she entered the house with a heavy heart.

Tang Yi sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, thinking about Director Zhou, Secretary Yao put down the drunkard meaning of the title of director of the county party committee office Of course Tang Yi knew, but what Tang Yi didn't understand was that he was so sure that he could promote his people to this position?

Tonight, County Magistrate Li and Tang Yi also communicated on this issue when they were drinking, and County Magistrate Li also has his own candidates, hoping to get Tang Yi's support, and last night, Minister Jiao also vaguely communicated with Tang Yi, listening to the meaning of his words, his old classmates also looked for him, and Minister Jiao also urgently needs to establish his influence in the county party committee through some heavyweight appointments. What made Tang Yi even more troubled was that Chen Dahe also found himself, it is said that Deputy Director Guo of the County Party Committee Office found him, Chen Dahe had a very good relationship with Director Guo, so he came to help Director Guo dredge.

The position of director of the county party committee office has attracted the coveted position of many people, and if it is not handled properly, it will even cause the loose alliance that Tang Yi and County Magistrate Li had just formed to fall apart.

Tang Yi sighed, in the intricate entanglement of interests, it was too difficult to do everything.

Thinking of Mr. Lin's transfer of work, he communicated with Secretary Yan, although he knew that Secretary Yan and Lao Yao had a good relationship, but he should still give himself face for this matter, who knew that Secretary Yan agreed very happily, but he complained to Tang Yi again, it turned out that the municipal party committee was preparing to organize a delegation to the United States to investigate, each county has a quota, the practice is to give a deputy secretary, Lao Yan has been to North Korea and other socialist countries, and has not seen the world of capitalist countries. So he was extremely enthusiastic about this quota, who knew that Secretary Tao just didn't agree, as if he was preparing to take his son abroad for a spin, Secretary Yan just hoped that Tang Yi could help him take this quota down.

This is another difficult matter, everyone is ready to go by himself, can he still pull out his teeth? Stunned to make him change his mind? Lao Yan also looks down on himself too much.

was in trouble, Sister Lan sat down beside him and said, "Secretary Tang, let me tell you something." ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "It won't be to help Director Zhou make a statement." ”

It is rare that Secretary Tang will joke with herself, Sister Lan smiled charmingly: "Yo, do you listen to what I say?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and picked up the teacup.

Sister Lan sighed and said, "Secretary Tang, I want to move out." ”

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" Don't like babysitter errands? ”

Sister Lan hurriedly said: "No, no, I just want to move out with Bao'er, and I will continue to do the nanny work, and I will ensure that I will not miss Secretary Tang's affairs." She was really afraid that Tang Yi would not use herself.

Tang Yi nodded slightly and asked, "Is there a place?" He had already vaguely guessed why Sister Lan wanted to move out, and of course he would not persuade Sister Lan to stay.

Sister Lan said: "The house at the west gate on the first floor is for rent, I want to rent it." "Sister Lan has only been at Secretary Tang's house for a few days, and she has already received several groups of guests, and she is already a little uncomfortable, what is the matter with her orphan and widow living here? What will people talk about themselves when they go back? After seeing the small advertisement for the rental house downstairs the day before yesterday, she had already moved her mind to move out, and this time when she saw the ambiguous meaning in Xiaoyun's mother's eyes, Sister Lan made up her mind.

It doesn't matter what others say about herself, and Sister Lan doesn't care about this, but she can't let Bao'er be wronged because of this, let Bao'er's classmates poke her backbone and scold her for having a mother with broken shoes.

After thinking about it, Sister Lan made up her mind, the rent downstairs is 1,002 a year, Sister Lan calculated that it is still very easy to buy vegetables for 100 yuan a month given by Secretary Tang, and her salary can still be saved.

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Nacheng, you decide for yourself, I'll pay the rent." ”

Sister Lan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Secretary Tang." ”

…… In the next few days, the atmosphere of the county party committee organs was strange, and the appointment of the director of the county party committee office touched almost everyone's hearts, not only the several standing committee members who were concerned about themselves, but also the heads and brains of various departments, everyone knew that this appointment was likely to be the second confrontation between Secretary Yao and Secretary Tang and County Magistrate Li, and the victory or defeat of this contest would directly affect the trend of the political situation in Yanshan in the future.

Tang Yi received Minister Jiao and Deputy Director Liu of the National People's Congress in the office, at that time, the power of the People's Congress was far less than ten years later, and the director of the People's Congress was mostly concurrently served by the head of the party committee, which also ensured the authoritative surname of the top leader. As for Director Liu, the deputy director, it is basically a decoration.

Tang Yi listened to the two of them quietly, and finally gave Director Liu four words: "Do your best." I don't know if he Tang Yi will do his best, or tell Director Liu to do his best at work, in short, Director Liu was very happy to hear it, and left happily, but Minister Jiao smiled bitterly, he could see that Tang Yi didn't care much about this matter, and he also received the rumor, County Magistrate Li was ready to promote the deputy director of the Organization Department, and Deputy Minister Ma, who had been competing with him at work, took this position, Minister Jiao was thinking in his heart, could it be that Secretary Tang and County Magistrate Li stood together? Regardless of his feelings, he wants to promote his opponent?

Seeing the loss on Minister Jiao's face, Tang Yi smiled and said, "There are some things that you can't rush to come, so let it be." ”

After Minister Jiao left, Tang Yi frowned, although Minister Jiao did not scratch his hair, but his "reserved" look was written on his face, do you support or not support County Magistrate Li? Tang Yi is a little difficult to choose, if he supports him, then Minister Jiao will definitely be separated from him, speaking of which, Minister Jiao is the most reliable member of the Standing Committee, and supporting County Magistrate Li is tantamount to making County Magistrate Li slowly grow bigger in the party committee. Don't support County Magistrate Lee? The fragile alliance that had just been formed would soon fall apart, and the balance of checks and balances that he had managed to maintain with great difficulty would be broken.

A little irritable, he got up and pushed open the window of the office, Lao Yao happened to pass in front of his office, looking at Lao Yao's smug sneer, Tang Yi's heart sank, why was he so confident? Did he already get enough votes?

In fact, if Secretary Tao, Tang Yi, and Minister Jiao all agree to the personnel appointment, there is no need to discuss it at the Standing Committee, at most once a month, the Standing Committee will go through the motions and report it. But everyone knows that Tang Yi and Secretary Tao will definitely not be able to talk about the appointment of the director of the county party committee office this time, and most of them will have to go through the organizational procedure in the end, and they will still have to vote in the end.

Tang Yi sat back on the long sofa and drank a few sips of cold tea, which was very bitter.

Secretary Xiao Wang came in with a kettle of hot water, and carried the kettle on the table, which was already empty, and he was speechless, Secretary Tang was really fierce when he drank tea.

Before leaving, Xiao Wang smiled seemingly casually and said, "Secretary Yao has just entered Minister Jiao's office. ”

Tang Yi raised his head, glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Eyes look at six roads, ears listen to all directions." Good. Xiao Wang seemed to have received some compliment, and walked out happily.

Tang Yi became more and more irritable in his heart, as if he had suddenly fallen into a predicament, the more he struggled, the more foggy he became, no matter what he did next, he seemed to lose something.

Old fox! Tang Yi scolded with hatred in his heart, picked up the teapot and prepared to make another cup of tea, his eyes suddenly stared at the lid of the teapot, it was a character painting, "Han Xin's crotch was humiliated", the teapot was given by the old man, the original intention was to warn Tang Yi that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, Tang Yi saw that Han Xin was suddenly moved, and then cold sweat broke out on his back, Lao Yao may not be in order to add one of his own people to the Standing Committee, maybe his real intention is to make his own phalanx chaotic, and even his own people turn against each other, Just like when the Han army defeated the Chu army, the plank road was repaired in the open and the Chen Cang was dark.

Think about it, no matter how you choose, you will inevitably hurt your allies, and you will inevitably be estranged from some allies, and maybe the old fox is on the left and right at the moment, maybe in the end he will really get enough votes to approve his candidate, and then re-establish his prestige, but his side will become in the same bed with the convening of this Standing Committee, and finally fall apart.

Tang Yi sighed, leaned back on the sofa, sorted out the messy thoughts, thinking about the people and things these days, until he got off work, he still couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds. At the gate of the county party committee compound, he met Secretary Yao, and seeing the sneer on his face, Tang Yi was bored again, could it be that he was really trapped to death by this old fox?

When she got home, Sister Lan was happily humming a little song and listening to music, looking at her tight little red pants, a pair of snow-white feet stepped on the coffee table and trembled with the music, so beautiful that she seemed to have knocked ecstasy, and she didn't hear Tang Yi's footsteps at all, until Tang Yi sat down on the sofa sullenly, Sister Lan was shocked, hurriedly put on her slippers, trotted over and turned off the music, and came back to ask Tang Yi: "What do you eat at night?" ”

Tang Yi looked at her snow-white sweater and frowned, "I really don't know how to match clothes." "Actually, the red pants and white sweater are a bit out of tune, but Sister Lan has always been dressed as a handsome little daughter-in-law, and her current outfit is not very romantic, but Tang Yi is a little annoyed now, and it is a little unpleasant to see things.

Sister Lan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Yo, do you say that I don't look good in this dress?" I thought you had been treating me as a wood. ”

He said: "This is what I chose in Director Zhou's lover's store, and I can give money, but I have a nine-percent discount." ”

Tang Yi was stunned and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Sister Lan blinked her big charming eyes and said, "Director Zhou's lover, you don't remember, I just came here a few days ago." ”

Tang Yi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou? Why didn't I think of him? Okay, good, good, you old fox secretly Chen Cang, won't I Tang Yi? Pacing back and forth excitedly, looking at Sister Lan's pretty face, she felt extremely cute, and suddenly reached out and twisted her face, and said with a smile: "I will give you a credit this time!" ”

Sister Lan screamed, frightened and took a few steps back, but saw that Tang Yi had already picked up the phone, Sister Lan touched her face, and thought she was dreaming, pinched it a few times, it hurt, and then she was sure that it was not a dream, Secretary Tang really twisted it on her face, and then looked at Tang Yi, the smile on her face between dials had slowly dissipated, and she returned to her calm expression, knowing that Secretary Tang was excited for a while, but why did you tease me? You won't really like me! Sister Lan felt that she had suffered a loss, and secretly glared at Tang Yi a few times, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to ask for justice, so she had to mumble in her heart to prepare a meal.

Tang Yi dialed Director Zhou's phone, and when he heard Tang Yi's voice, Director Zhou trembled a little when he spoke, Tang Yi chatted with him for a few words about inconsequential work, and finally said very casually: "Director Zhou, you need to communicate more with Secretary Tao, even if you are responsible for the political axe, you still have to listen to the opinions of the party committee." ”

Putting down the phone, Tang Yi slowly closed his eyes, the words were pointed, and it was his business whether Director Zhou could understand or not.

At the dinner table, Sister Lan touched her face from time to time, wanting to remind Tang Yi of something, but Tang Yi said: "Sister Lan, don't teach bad children, it's not a good habit to touch your face at the dinner table." I was so angry that I almost closed my breath, but when I saw that Tang Yi was criticizing himself with a serious face, I had to obediently agree, and I picked up the rice bowl and ate like a baby like Bao'er.

…… The day before the Standing Committee was about to be convened, Tang Yi came to Secretary Tao's office for a routine meeting, the two talked about the recent work, and finally, of course, talked about the appointment of the director of the county party committee office. ”

Tang Yi's reaction was beyond Secretary Tao's expectations, "Cheng, I'm also scratching my head, the county party committee office is a very important department, and there are many comrades with enough qualifications and level to hold this position this time, so it's really difficult to choose." He sat down on the sofa with some annoyance.

Secretary Tao smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Tang Yi's people must have fought happily by themselves, which made him very troubled.

He was originally happy to see Tang Yi's jokes, but seeing Tang Yi's preoccupied appearance, his heart moved, and he said very casually: "Secretary Tang, sometimes, if you want to harvest, you have to learn to give up first." ”

Tang Yi looked stunned for a moment, and then seemed to ponder Secretary Tao's words, and was a little fascinated.

After a while, Tang Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had figured it out, and said to Secretary Tao with a smile: "Thank you Secretary Tao for your guidance, which made me pause." ”

Secretary Tao smiled and said, "Then I'll talk about these candidates?" He ordered Tang Yi to say this sentence, of course, Tang Yi was a little Tang Yi, as if he was kindly reminding Tang Yi that he didn't have to hold on to this personnel power, otherwise he was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses, but in fact, Lao Tao saw that Tang Yi had no decision, so he became selfish.

Originally, Secretary Tao promised Lao Yao that he would support him this time no matter what to sit in the position of director of the county party committee office, and even if the Standing Committee did not get a satisfactory result, he would not hesitate to break the kettle and veto this resolution with the power of the party secretary. The prestige of this number one will also be gone, and he will also get a very bad impression in the assessment of the superior department, and his career is estimated to come to an end.

Secretary Tao was originally determined to support Lao Yao, but seeing that Tang Yi seemed to be in a dilemma, he moved his selfishness, the county party committee office is a heavyweight department, it is rare for Lao Yao to take the initiative to put down this stall, why doesn't Secretary Tao want to take it as he already has? It's just that at first, he supported Lao Yao with the attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but if Tang Yi had other thoughts, he would not be polite to Lao Yao.

Secretary Tao said that the first candidate was the person recommended by Secretary Yao, Tang Yi really shook his head, Secretary Tao smiled, and said, "Then Secretary Tang has any suitable candidates?" ”

Tang Yi said: "In addition to Director Chen, is there no more suitable candidate for Secretary Tao?" ”

Secretary Tao said another person's name, which is a person close to Secretary Tao. Tang Yi shook his head again and said, "His qualifications are not enough, right?" ”

Secretary Tao also knew that it was indeed difficult for him to convince the public, if Tang Yi promised that he could still force his way through, Tang Yi didn't have to go all the way to the dark if he didn't promise.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I have the best candidate in my mind, Director Zhou of the Political Axe Office, you should know, what do you think of this person?" ”

Director Zhou boarded Secretary Tao's door a few days ago, and the two of them spoke well-behaved, which was quite appreciated by Secretary Tao, but because Secretary Tao had already responded to Lao Yao, his attitude towards Director Zhou was vague and confused, but he had a plan in his heart. I don't want the county party committee office in front of me to promote my own people, but Secretary Tao, who didn't have any suitable candidates, thought of him.

Tang Yi smiled in his heart, made a contemplative expression on his face, and finally nodded: "I agree with Secretary Tao's opinion." ”

Secretary Tao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's good, then I will announce the Standing Committee tomorrow." As for Lao Yao, Secretary Tao had already thought of his rhetoric, of course, it was the result of a compromise with Tang Yili County Magistrate, and as for Lao Yao's dissatisfaction, Secretary Tao could only slowly subside.

Tang Yi asked before leaving: "Secretary Tao, is it time for Secretary Yan to go to the United States for inspection?" ”

Secretary Tao was stunned for a moment, then knew that this was Tang Yi's exchange condition for supporting him, thought about it, and nodded.

Tang Yi returned to his office, but he smiled, if he wanted to harvest, should he learn to give up? I have already understood this truth, and I understand it more thoroughly than your old Tao.

Picked up the phone and dialed Director Zhou's number, vaguely encouraged Director Zhou a few words, and then hung up the phone, Director Zhou hung up the phone and was a little excited, although Secretary Tang didn't say it explicitly, but Director Zhou felt that it seemed that the position of the director of the county party committee office had been decided, and it should be himself.

Thinking of the door of Secretary Tao that day, Secretary Tao vaguely said, Director Zhou thought that there was no hope, but he didn't expect Secretary Tang to be Gao, and he didn't know how to operate The director's hat was put on his head.

Although Director Zhou was excited, he knew that until the Standing Committee tomorrow, the matter would not be finalized, so he tried his best to suppress his excitement and bury himself in work, but when he was writing the manuscript, the pen cut the manuscript paper from time to time, causing the clerks who reported the work next to him to be inexplicable.

After Tang Yi hung up Director Zhou's phone, he picked up the phone and called County Magistrate Li and Minister Jiao respectively, County Magistrate Li began to hear that Tang Yi agreed to Secretary Tao's candidate, and he was indeed a little angry, but after hearing that the candidate was not Secretary Yao's person, and it was Secretary Tao's insistent decision, County Magistrate Li was also a little relieved, remembering that this time Lao Yao delegated power by himself, but stole chickens and rice, and laughed at his own candidate's defeat.

Minister Jiao was even more moved, thinking that Tang Yi did not hesitate to offend County Magistrate Li for him, and deeply regretted his earlier complaints.

Tang Yi made a cup of hot tea at this time, and took a sip of it, it was so fragrant.
