Chapter 2 The Red Aristocrats

Lin Guozhu's face was a little flattered, and he said, "Then I'll talk to Secretary Tang." He was a little embarrassed and said, "Secretary Tang, I'll call my lover and tell her." ”

Tang Yi said: "It should be, it should be." Just sorting out the documents at hand, Lin Guozhu hung up the phone to his lover over there, the voice was not loud, but Tang Yi heard it clearly, their husband and wife sounded very affectionate, Lin Guozhu said softly: "Yanzi, I'll go back later in the evening, don't you like to eat Parkway's fried sausages?" I'll buy it for you, how many do you want? …… Ah, then you can figure it out yourself, okay, okay......"

Walking out of the office with Lin Guozhu, Tang Yi asked casually: "Your lover also eats public food, right?" ”

When it came to his wife, Lin Guozhu was a little proud, but of course he tried his best to show the natural point in front of Tang Yi: "The captain of the public security police detachment of the city bureau is called Bai Yan, she is more capable than me." ”

Tang Yi sighed, but didn't care.

Anton allocated a new Santana for Tang Yi, and the driver, Master Xie, was a man in his forties, who looked very stable.

Lin Guozhu whispered: "Secretary Tang, I can drive." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, naturally understood what Lin Guozhu meant, why didn't he want Master Xie to be present, Lin Guozhu could be the driver.

This meal with Lin Guozhu is very comfortable, Lin Guozhu is also very good at choosing the location, although the grade of the Chunjiang Hotel is not too good, but the dishes are delicious, and the private room on the third floor is very secluded, will not be disturbed, a meal, Tang Yi naturally has a preliminary understanding of Anton's team from Lin Guozhu's mouth, of course, just in contact with Tang Yi, Lin Guozhu knows what to say and what not to say, and the impression that Tang Yi gained is only a superficial impression.

…… Just when Tang Yi had a better understanding of his work and the various organs and units under his jurisdiction, the first regular meeting of the Standing Committee after Tang Yi came to Andong was unveiled.

There are 12 members of the Standing Committee of the Andong City CPC Committee, and Li Lei, political commissar of the military sub-district, went to the provincial military district for a meeting, so there are 11 members. Li Boyuan, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Jiang Haoran, executive deputy director of the National People's Congress, attended as observers, and Gu Xinming, chairman of the National People's Congress, concurrently served as observers. The meeting room of the Standing Committee is on the third floor of the office building of the municipal party committee. On the front wall of the conference room are enlarged copies of the Standing Committee's rules of procedure and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's documents on fighting corruption and advocating clean government. Gu Xinming presided over the meeting, and most of the topics of the meeting had already been discussed at the meeting of the secretary and mayor, and the Standing Committee was just a formality, 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 by one, everyone spoke on each topic and put forward some ideas. The meeting was generally very smooth, Tang Yi did not express any opinion in line with the principle of listening more and talking less, and raised his hand to pass the vote that should be passed, and abstained from voting when it should be shelved, after all, no matter how orderly a team is, there will always be different opinions, and Tang Yi doesn't want to offend anyone now.

The last topic is the Andong Border Economic Cooperation Zone, Gu Xinming sighed when he mentioned this cooperation zone, and rarely saw him show an expression of interest, Tang Yi pricked up his ears.

"Economic cooperation zone, the State Council has approved the project in 92, two years, the funds have not been in place, let's talk, what are the good suggestions?" Gu Xinming's eyes scanned the venue.

Tang Yi flipped through the information on the table, the Anton Border Economic Cooperation Zone was a state-level economic cooperation zone approved by the State Council in 92, but after the first budget funds were allocated, there was no follow-up, and the Anton Beijing Office broke its leg and did not run out of any results.

Qi Maolin smiled and said: "Of course, such a difficult task depends on Mayor Xiaofeng, wasn't the project in the cooperation zone run down by Mayor Xiaofeng?" ”

Gu Xinming glanced at Qi Maolin, his eyes were full of meaning, and he asked Wang Xiaofeng: "What do you think?" ”

Wang Xiaofeng took a sip of tea, put the pen in his hand on the notebook, and said, "I'm afraid that I won't use it if I go." ”

Gu Xinming rubbed his temples and seemed to feel a headache. The first phase of the project in the economic cooperation zone has been completed, but the second fund has not been in place, and if it drags on for a few more years, I am afraid that the project in the cooperation zone will become a mess, and the land has been idle for two years. Now that the farmland is gone, and the hukou work cannot be solved, the peasant households have come to the Letters and Visits Office twice in three days to make trouble, and have threatened to go to the provincial capital to file a complaint.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Xinming cleared his throat, glanced at Tang Yi, and said: "In this way, Secretary Tang Yi is focusing on the economy, so he and Mayor Wang will go to Yanjing, and the materials will be prepared, and if you fight again this year, you will withdraw the project if there is really no hope!" ”

No one squeaked, withdraw the project approved by the state? It's harder than approval.

Gu Xinming didn't care about the reactions of the other Standing Committee members, and turned his head to ask Tang Yi: "Just get familiar with the work, run to Yanjing, can you afford it?" ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, Gu Xinming's style is relatively tough, but he is not a reckless man. Just by calling him to go to Yanjing together, you can know that he is trying to understand himself with his surname, and on the personnel file, his hometown in Yanjing is clear, although in order to keep the family relationship column without Grandpa and other prominent relatives, Gu Xinming is afraid that he can't explain his doubts, and he asked himself to go with Yanjing and his party, and probably wants to touch how many catties and taels he has, whether he is a red child of Yanjing.

…… Anton Airport was built in 1985 and now has only two routes, Andong to Yanjing and Andong to Shenyang, and the third route to Jiaozhou is still awaiting approval.

The MD52 is a medium-haul passenger aircraft, and the flight attendants wearing blue uniforms and skirts are beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

In the business class, Tang Yi and Wang Xiaofeng sat next to each other, Lin Guozhu and Huang Lin, the mayor's secretary, sat in the back row, and the two were still busy flipping through the materials and documents prepared for Yanjing.

Wang Xiaofeng flipped through the address book, closed it, and leaned back on the seat, looking a little tired.

Tang Yi heard Lin Guozhu say that the project of the economic cooperation zone was taken down by Wang Xiaofeng from the National Development and Reform Commission the year before last, and it is said that a certain leader of the National Development and Reform Commission was her old superior and had the grace to support her, but the old leader soon retreated to the second line, and the development of the economic cooperation zone came to a standstill.

Lin Guozhu didn't say it explicitly, but judging from the ambiguous eyes he mentioned the "old leader", probably Mayor Wang had some rumors with this leader, and it is no wonder that beautiful women in officialdom are always the objects of good deeds.

Lin Guozhu also said: "Secretary Gu is afraid that he doesn't like this cooperation zone." ”

Tang Yi didn't believe in this, Gu Xin clearly had a reason not to like the economic cooperation zone, because it was the mayor's project. But Tang Yi doesn't think that Gu Xinming will be a person with a small belly, after all, the development zone can drive Anton's economy, and if it develops well, the entire Andong team will be a beneficiary.

Tang Yi glanced at Wang Xiaofeng, who was slightly distressed, and asked softly: "Mayor Wang, why don't you talk to the old leader who agreed to the project of the development zone at the beginning, although the old leader has retired, he should be able to speak." ”

Wang Xiaofeng turned her head to look at Tang Yi, her eyes were a little angry, but when she saw Tang Yi's clear and sincere eyes, the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she sighed softly: "Retreat, I don't want to disturb him anymore." ”

Tang Yi nodded understandingly: "Yes, the old people like to enjoy Qingfu, besides, it is always a little uncomfortable to hear that future generations overturn their conclusions." ”

Wang Xiaofeng patted Tang Yi's hand, thanking Tang Yi for his understanding.

When he arrived in Yanjing, Wang Xiaofeng scolded the director and deputy director of Anton's Beijing Office, and with an annual fund of more than 100,000 yuan, nothing could be done.

Director Li of the Beijing Office muttered with an aggrieved face: "The southern cities spend millions of dollars every year." Wang Xiaofeng immediately became angry: "What? Is your job blatant [***]? Those money, give some small gifts during the New Year's holiday, and drink some wine to contact the feelings! Isn't that enough? Millions? You tell me, how do you want to use it? What she hates the most is that some cadres go off the rails at every turn, and they also pay attention to treating and giving gifts when doing practical things.

Director Li didn't dare to speak anymore, blushing and lowering his head, Tang Yi smiled and explained Wang Xiaofeng, and gave Huang Lin a look, Huang Lin understood, and was busy using the excuse that there were documents for the mayor to read, so Wang Xiaofeng left the room indignantly.

Director Li sighed and said to Tang Yi: "Director Tang, we are all men, tell me, which provincial and municipal Beijing office is not blatantly engaging in [***]?" Mayor Wang couldn't listen to these words, didn't Secretary Gu say the same thing? ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly: "Public relations and [***] are two different things, Secretary Gu was drunk and told a joke, forget it after hearing it, you are promoting it everywhere like this, but it's not appropriate!" ”

Director Li's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, Tang Yi softened his tone: "Pay attention to the ways and means of work, don't know how to scratch and get results, everything you say is right, you can't do it, you make mistakes on top of mistakes!" ”

…… Shangri-La Hotel, Wang Xiaofeng and Tang Yi hosted a banquet for Director Liao of the Department of Foreign Investment Management of the Ministry of Commerce, and the Department of Foreign Investment Management undertook the work of foreign investment statistics; It guides the relevant work of the National Economic and Technological Development Zone, Suzhou Industrial Park, and Border Economic Cooperation Zone, and is regarded as a higher-level competent unit of the Andong Economic Cooperation Zone.

Director Liao is very talkative, and he is also funny, and Wang Xiaofeng is an old acquaintance, as if he was promoted by Mayor Wang's old leader, and he did not put a stand as a Beijing official, to be honest, Wang Xiaofeng and Tang Yi have a main hall and a deputy hall, a prominent place, but when they came to Yanjing, I am afraid that the guards of the national ministries and commissions will not glance at them.

Speaking of the secondary investment in the Anton Cooperation Zone, Director Liao sighed, "I can't do this, Anton's budget documents can't pass the review of the Ministry of Finance, after all, the finances are tight now, and the Ministry of Finance has shrunk the budget since last year, and they also have their difficulties!" ”

Wang Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "Director Liao, can you help communicate, after all, you are our supervisor!" ”

Director Liao held his wine glass and thought about it for a long time, Wang Xiaofeng and Tang Yi looked at him with blank eyes, Lin Guozhu and Huang Lin looked at each other, they were a little helpless, in Beijing, our secretary and mayor are really no different from ordinary people.

Director Liao put down his wine glass and said, "In this way, you guys go to the budget department and run again, make the budget more beautiful, don't let people make mistakes, I'll think of a way, but don't get your hopes up." ”

Wang Xiaofeng was a little disappointed, but still raised his glass to toast to express his gratitude.

Tang Yi was pondering whether to ask his second uncle for help, pondering for a while, or wait and see, wouldn't it be better to run down according to the normal procedure?

…… Wang Xiaofeng acted vigorously and resolutely, and the next day, he came to the Ministry of Finance with Tang Yi, Lin Guozhu and Huang Lin, two secretaries. In her words, "1% of hope is also hopeful, and if you don't try, there is no hope at all." ”

The silver building of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic is straight into the sky, and the huge national emblem on the top floor is majestic and solemn.

The armed police soldiers with loaded guns waved their hands and let them go after reviewing the work cards, ID cards and certification letters of several people, and the doorman at the reception of the white metal building was checked for a while, and a fat man at the reception was quite horizontal, full of Beijing accent, flipping through Tang Yi's work card, and looked at Tang Yi suspiciously: "Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? Really? You're a county-level city, right? ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, but still said politely: "Prefecture-level city." ”

The fat man is very serious about his work, his intuition is suspicious, and he hesitates with his work card.

At this time, a black red flag slowly drove from the courtyard, and the armed police soldiers on the gate immediately raised their arms and saluted, and the fat man also stood up straight and saluted.

The red flag suddenly stopped slowly, the window rolled down, revealing a man's smiling face, and beckoned to Tang Yi: "Xiaoyi? Come. ”

Tang Yi knew at a glance that Tao Ji, the Minister of Finance, had always been a strong competitor of the second uncle, and there were many differences of opinion with the second uncle, and the second uncle hated him so much. But Tao Ji and the Ning family may have some origins, and he went to his house when he visited his old sister with his little sister, and he was also very impressed by Tang Yi, he spoke very well, he was a scholar, and he belonged to a different style of leadership with the second uncle, perhaps, this is also the source of the conflict between the two.

Tang Yi hurriedly ran over, and the secretary in a black tunic got out of the co-pilot's seat, opened the rear compartment door, and invited Tang Yi to sit in.

Tao Ji leaned to the side and looked at Tang Yi who was sitting in with a smile: "Come and see your second uncle?" ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "How can I have time to watch him, we are here to run the project." ”

Tao Ji smiled kindly: "Little guy, you have also learned to run the ministry, tell me, when will you get married with your little sister?" ”

Tang Yi scratched his head: "It should be this year," In front of this kind old man in his fifties, Tang Yi felt as if he was really a child.

However, Tang Yi immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Tao, I won't talk to you, the mayor is still waiting for me over there." ”

Tao Ji smiled and patted Tang Yi on the shoulder: "Okay, do it well, be open-minded!" ”

Tang Yi smiled helplessly, knowing his subtext, don't learn from your second uncle.

Over there, Wang Xiaofeng, Lin Guozhu and Huang Lin were a little confused, Wang Xiaofeng looked back and saw that the fat director of the reception office was also confused, and couldn't help asking: "Director Li, whose car did Secretary Tang sit in?" ”

The fat director was speechless: "Don't you know? That's our Minister Tao's car, I said, what is the origin of your Secretary Tang? ”

Wang Xiaofeng shook his head slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes. Lin Guozhu was short of breath, looking at the majestic and solemn extended red flag, he actually had a feeling of suffocation, his intuition told himself that an undreamed opportunity had come to him, and it was up to him to see if he could grasp it.

Tang Yi got out of the car, the secretary closed the door, bent down, Tao Ji said a few words to him, smiled at Tang Yi, the window flicked up, and the red flag slowly drove out.

Seeing the red flag slowly disappear out of sight, the secretary turned back to Tang Yi and smiled: "Brother Tang, you don't care about calling it that, do you?" My name is Zhang Wei. "Secretary Zhang has a standard figure and a particularly good temperament, he is a handsome man in his forties, and he laughs amiably.

Tang Yi hurriedly said that he didn't mind, and called Brother Zhang with a smile.

Secretary Zhang became more affectionate and said, "Isn't it an errand? Come, I'll take you. ”

Tang Yi led Secretary Zhang to meet Wang Xiaofeng and introduced the two to each other, Wang Xiaofeng heard that Secretary Zhang would personally lead him to the Budget Department, full of joy, and thanked Secretary Zhang again and again.

Secretary Zhang said with a smile: "Don't dare to say that, I'm just an errand runner, the Ministry of Finance is very supportive of the local government, maybe the procedures are a little cumbersome, let's do special things to try to improve efficiency." ”

With Secretary Zhang coming forward and Minister Tao's instructions, the passage of the budget was naturally smooth sailing, and Tang Yi and his entourage were only half a month in Yanjing, and the problem that had dragged on for two years was easily solved.

Tang Yi seized the time to call the second uncle, and briefly talked about Tao Ji's experience of helping him solve the budget, Tang Wandong smiled and said: "Old fox, it will win people's hearts." ”

When the matter was done, Tang Yi and Wang Xiaofeng invited Secretary Zhang to dinner, the wine was drunk, and when Wang Xiaofeng went to the bathroom, Tang Yi expressed his gratitude to Secretary Zhang again, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, Secretary Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you, I'll just run an errand, if the project in charge of Brother Tang is shelved in the Ministry of Finance, it will be a joke." ”

Tang Yi smiled helplessly and toasted him again.

…… The night before leaving Yanjing, Tang Yi called Xiaomei, the last time they met, he didn't seem to take into account Xiaomei's feelings, I was afraid that the little girl would be a little sad, after all, Tang Yi could feel that Xiaomei was getting better and better to herself, even if it wasn't love, she always had feelings.

The Anton Beijing Office does not have a fixed office, and Tang Yi and Wang Xiaofeng, who have rented suites in the Jin Jiang Hotel for a long time, also live in the Jin Jiang Hotel.

After the matter was completed, Wang Xiaofeng was in a good mood, so he no longer criticized a few cadres of the Beijing Office, and even called everyone and said: "Tomorrow Secretary Tang and I will go back to Anton, and we will invite everyone to drink tonight." ”

Director Li took the lead in applauding, but Wang Xiaofeng's next words made these cadres look at each other helplessly.

"Go to Quanjude to eat roast duck!"

Tang Yi frowned slightly when he saw Director Li's expressions, these cadres are far away from the emperor, and they can eat and drink with blatant public funds, I am afraid that they are used to arrogance, and Quanjude is a little low in their eyes.

When Lin Guozhu saw Tang Yi frowning, he silently remembered it in his heart, and replied to Anton that he wanted to help Secretary Tang figure out a charter that would regulate and restrain the cadres of the Beijing Office.

The group took the elevator downstairs and walked on the smooth marble floor tiles in the lobby of the Jin Jiang Hotel, Wang Xiaofeng sighed: "When will Anton's hotel reach this level?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't worry." "In the new century, even in underdeveloped provinces, most of the prefecture-level cities have five-star hotels, although there is a slight difference between domestic five-star and international five-star hotels, but there is no problem in reaching the level of the current Jin Hotel.

Just as he was talking and laughing, Tang Yi was suddenly stunned, and saw the huge golden revolving glass door of the hotel turn, and a picturesque girl in white walked in, beautiful and elegant, with an outstanding demeanor.

Who else can be such an out-of-this-world beauty? Little sister too.

The eyes of the passengers and the lobby attendants were involuntarily attracted, after all, this picturesque girl was never visible, but it was like a fairy in a dream descending to the earth.

Tang Yi took two steps, flicked the little sister's head in the surprised gaze of everyone, and smiled a little forgetfully: "Why are you here?" ”

The little sister didn't care about other people's eyes, and when she saw Tang Yi's face, she seemed to be a little happy, and said softly: "I'm in a good mood." Tang Yi nodded, but when he saw his little sister, Chen Ke's tear-stained face immediately appeared in front of him, and he sighed softly, she's okay.

The little sister stared at Tang Yi and said softly, "I shouldn't come?" ”

The little sister's tone was flat, but Tang Yi seemed to be able to feel her momentary disappointment, her heart trembled, and she waved away the distractions, she couldn't make all the girls who had an intersection with her sad, it was not enough to hurt one, it was not enough to hurt once, did it make them all sad?

Tang Yi smiled slightly, put his lips to his little sister's ear, and whispered, "Let's go to the movies?" Is it good to sit in a private room? ”

The little sister suddenly raised her little fist and shook it at Tang Yi, startling Tang Yi, and subconsciously said: "You, if you dare to do something with me, I don't want you!" ”

Seeing Tang Yi's embarrassed appearance, the little sister pursed her lips and smiled, like a snow lotus in full bloom, and the brilliance was instantly dazzling.
