Secretary Niu invited Tang Yi to sit on the sofa, and the rest of the discipline inspection cadres dispersed, leaving only Tang Yi, Secretary Niu and Zeng Qingming in the room.

Secretary Niu picked up the teacup and motioned for Tang Yi to drink tea, and then said with a smile: "It's for Mayor Zhao, right?" ”

Tang Yi said: "Yes and no, the main thing is to renovate the Xiaonan River project, Secretary Niu, I think that no matter whether the factory owners are intimidated or not, but the relocation work cannot be stopped, let's talk from the heart, the comprehensive renovation of the Xiaonan River is not just for Shenbo, mainly for the residents on both sides of the Nanhe River to have a better living environment, isn't our governance to be people-oriented?" It has to be in the interests of the majority, right? ”

Secretary Niu listened to Tang Yi with a smile, and after listening, he was noncommittal, but asked, "Mayor Tang, can you talk about your views on Comrade Enhong." ”

The air conditioner was blowing a hot warm breeze, Tang Yi slowly lit a cigarette, thought about it and said: "Mayor Enhong is very competent, although I haven't worked with him for a long time, I can be regarded as knowing a little about him, Secretary Niu, he is not confused!" ”

Zeng Qingming has been defending Zhao Enhong for the past few days, but now, he doesn't speak, so as not to arouse Secretary Niu's disgust. Hearing Tang Yi's words "He is not confused", Zeng Qingming nodded secretly, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Secretary Niu also nodded and picked up the teacup.

……

The courtyard of the Standing Committee of the Huanghai Municipal Party Committee is green pine and cypress, the environment is elegant, looking at the blue sea in the south, and the lush green mountains in the north, it is said that the feng shui is also excellent.

In Villa No. 6, Wang Lizhen slowly hung up the phone in her hand, leaned on the sofa and frowned.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Her beautiful daughter, dressed in a thin red cashmere sweater, sat down beside her and looked at her mother tenderly.

Wang Lizhen's daughter Liu Qing, who graduated and stayed in school a few years ago, is a counselor of the general branch of the Youth League of the School of Economics of Huanghai University, and the master's degree she is studying can graduate this year. Liu Qing has always been Wang Lizhen's pride.

"It's fine." Wang Lizhen's loving daughter has some messy hair, and this woman who is ruthless on the outside is surprisingly kind in the face of her daughter.

Liu Qing said with some distress: "Mom, it seems that you have been getting more and more unhappy recently, what happened?" ”

Wang Lizhen shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it, go and prepare your paper, be obedient!" ”

Liu Qing sighed, obediently went to the study, looked at her daughter's back, Wang Lizhen was stunned for a while, and then remembered the phone call just now, it was Huang Xiangdong's phone, and vaguely dissatisfied with Wang Lizhen's revenge on Zhao Enhong, because if he couldn't take Zhao Enhong, it would only make him more inclined to Tang Yi's circle, and under Tang Yi's full opposition, he wanted to move a department-level cadre and deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, which was really not a big win.

Wang Lizhen's face gradually sank, she originally expected that Tang Yi would also hope to take down Zhao Enhong, and the people who took the opportunity to replace him, such as Deng Wenzhi, such as Sun Wang, and even Jia Yuejun, etc., had just won a victory on the Standing Committee, how could Tang Yi not take advantage of the victory to pursue?

I don't want Tang Yi to seem a little impulsive, but he is surprisingly stable in doing things, he would rather win over an old cadre who is not only not very firm, but also has an advanced political life and is about to retire, rather than take the risk of fighting and promoting his real own person.

Wang Lizhen is more deeply aware that from now on, the rules of the game in the Yellow Sea Power Field are being readjusted and run-in because of Tang Yi's joining, and how the new game rules will be formulated depends on the trend in the next few months!

A little irritable, Wang Lizhen took out a pack of women's cigarettes from under the coffee table, took out one and lit it, few people knew, she also smoked.

After a few puffs of hard puffing, she was choked and coughed, and when she heard footsteps in the study, Wang Lizhen hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray, so as not to be nagged by her daughter again.

……

The investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection returned to Lucheng, and Zhao Enhong was notified by the investigation team because he was impatient and failed to handle the disputes between the cadres and the masses.

Zhao Enhong is more and more grateful to Tang Yi, he heard that Mayor Tang went to the investigation team to fight for himself, no matter what position Mayor Tang is based on, but it is an indisputable fact that he helped himself, in this case, where to go, and how to stand in line?

Zhao Enhong picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, the office was surprisingly quiet, the sunlight spilled through the cracks in the shutters on the mahogany floor, like a mottled zebra crossing.

Zhao Enhong slowly walked to the window again, opened the blinds with a bang, and the sunlight immediately poured in, dazzlingly bright.

In front of the municipal axe office building, there is a huge rockery fountain, which was originally a flower bed, and the former mayor Li did not like those moon flowers, so he asked people to replan them into a pool.

Outsiders don't know the mystery, Zhao Enhong knows, I heard that Wang Lizhen likes those moon flowers the most, often said that every morning smell the fragrance of flowers, a day people are comfortable, after a meeting by Wang Lizhen's anger, Mayor Li gave a death order to the municipal government, turning the flower bed into a pool.

Many people think that at the level of Mayor Li and Deputy Secretary Wang, they will not be angry for some trivial things, but Zhao Enhong knows how aggrieved Mayor Li was at that time.

A lesson from the past, Zhao Enhong will not forget the lonely back of Mayor Li when he left the Municipal Axe Building.

In the Huanghai officialdom, which has changed frequently in recent years, for the heads of ministries, commissions, bureaus, and offices, standing on the wrong side is not hesitant to commit political suicide. If Tang Yi hadn't come quickly, I was afraid that Mayor Li's family would be completely purged.

Even Zhao Enhong, the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, feels that his position is very unstable from time to time, so he has a lot of thought about which side to stand.

After the investigation team left, Tang Yi didn't come to talk to Zhao Enhong about anything, which made Zhao Enhong grateful, but also knew that Tang Yi was waiting for him to make a statement, and he was very patient, but if he wanted to go left and right, depending on the situation, not only would Wang Lizhen cause more trouble for herself, but also completely offend Tang Yi.

Zhao Enhong closed the blinds little by little and slowly walked back to the desk.

……

At the end of February, a terrorist attack occurred in the United States that shook the world, terrorists hijacked four US domestic flights and crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon where the US Department of Defense is located, causing the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, killing or missing thousands of people, and causing direct and indirect economic losses amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Tang Yi once again recognized the inevitable and accidental surnames of history, great men can create history, but historical development often has its inevitable surname.

The international situation has changed drastically and dramatically, and the republic, which was originally in an extremely difficult situation due to the temporary drawer of Russia's national strength to move closer to the West and the hostility and resistance of most of its neighbors in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, suddenly discovered that this terrorist attack has changed or disrupted international relations since the end of the Cold War, and has brought about a great turn for the better in the diplomatic predicament of the republic.

When the Republic made frequent diplomatic attacks, the Ministry of Public Security also began to plan the establishment of special police personnel in public security offices in major cities across the country.

And this terrifying incident also reminded Tang Yi of the kind of terrifying infectious disease that may appear at the end of next year.

I made a phone call to my second uncle, talking about the recent discovery of a case of coronavirus infection caused by indiscriminate consumption of wild animals in Huanghai City Hospital, and jokingly saying that Lingnan people like to eat wild animals the most, but don't eat any big trouble such as cholera.

Tang Wandong just smiled and said, "I don't know what you, the mayor, are thinking about all day." ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't say anything more, there are some things that can be clicked a little bit, not to mention things that can't be explained clearly.

……

In mid-March, the Congress of all member states of the Bureau of International Exhibition and Exhibition was held at the headquarters of the Bureau of International Exhibition in Paris, and Tang Yi, Mayor of Huanghai City, made a final bid statement to the conference.

The second host, dressed in a fuchsia satin jacket, said that although he is a Lingnanian, his first film was made in the Yellow Sea and he has always had good feelings for the Yellow Sea.

Mr. William, the honorary citizen of Huanghai City and the general manager of Yifa He Co., Ltd., who has obtained a long-term residence permit in Huanghai, came to the stage to speak.

Tang Yi also thought about looking for Xue Ni to add points to her Shenbo, but thinking that Xue Ni had helped her enough, she still didn't think of herself as a great benefactor, and asked others to do this and that, it was really boring, I just hoped that this kind girl would go all the way.

In the afternoon, in anticipation, more than 100 representatives of member states began to vote, when the President of the Bureau of International Expositions Smith solemnly announced on the rostrum that the 2002 World Expo will be held ——— China, the Yellow Sea! At that time, all the members of the Chinese Shenbo delegation were jubilant and celebrated each other's festivals; Representatives of the BIE member states present at the meeting embraced the Chinese delegates and congratulated Huang Hai on his victory.

Tang Yi smiled and hugged the members of the delegation, as well as whites and blacks one by one, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it is undeniable that the success of Shenbo will greatly strengthen the voice of the political axe in the work of the next year or so.

With the success of Shenbo, at the end of March, the 02 Yellow Sea World Ecological Expo Organizing Committee was established, with Xu Weilun, Governor of Ludong Province, as the chairman, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor Xia, Cui Jingqun, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Huanghai City, Tang Yi, Mayor of Huanghai City, as the deputy director, and the member units include provincial and municipal departments and bureaus and information offices. In addition, the Huanghai Expo Bureau, the executive agency of the organizing committee, has been set up in the Yellow Sea, which is specifically responsible for the construction of venues, external exhibitions, domestic exhibitions, and exhibition area management of the Expo. Nominated by Tang Yi, the director of the Huanghai Expo Bureau is concurrently served by Sun Wang, a member of the Huanghai World Expo Organizing Committee and deputy mayor of Huanghai City.

Although the World Expo did not receive the full support of the central government like the Southwest World Expo because of its small scale, Tang Yi was determined to make this World Expo a grand event that attracted the attention of the world.

……

On Friday, accompanied by Yu Liang, deputy secretary general of the municipal axe, Wang Dengfu, director of the Municipal Economic Commission, Li Xiaohua, director of the Industrial and Economic Division of the Municipal Axe General Office, and Shen Jian, director of the office of the Municipal Economic Commission, Tang Yi inspected the newly established municipal small and medium-sized enterprise service center, and at the same time visited the Huanghai Economic and Trade Information Network, which is also run by the service center.

Tang Yi praised the pioneering spirit of the service center, he said, the Internet is a new thing, will play an increasingly important role in the future social and economic activities, and hopes that the service center can use this new thing to provide a more efficient and effective transaction information platform for enterprises in the Yellow Sea.

In the evening, Tang Yi, who had been busy all day, asked Xiao Wu to send him to the Silver Moon Garden.

On the weekend, Bao'er went home, and Bao'er was pure and lovely in a beautiful school uniform, which added a bit of liveliness to the room.

Seeing Tang Yi coming back, Bao'er was no longer like a child who would pounce over to ask questions, but jumped around the window with the music, dancing rhythmic dance to show her beauty and cuteness, but soon Sister Lan turned off the music and twisted her ears to ask her to go into the room to study, Bao'er grinned, and even lost face in front of Uncle Tang, and was almost angry with her mother.

Tang Yi looked funny, and suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Sister Lan, I have something to send Bao'er, you go to the study and bring the paper bags I brought from France." ”

Sister Lan let go of Bao'er, went to the study, and took out a few paper bags, although she didn't know foreign languages, she would never make a mistake about this kind of thing.

Tang Yi took out a delicate mahogany box from the paper bag, beckoned to Bao'er, and said, "Come, Uncle bought you a gift from France." ”

Bao'er was rubbing her ears angrily, and when she heard Tang Yi calling her, she let out an oh and walked over with a pout.

Tang Yi opened the wooden box, took out the exquisite and small bracelet watch from it, reached out and pulled Bao'er's little arm, put the watch on her, and said, "See if you like it?" ”

The bracelet watch is very beautiful, and it was specially bought by my uncle from France, Bao'er's little depression just now has disappeared, and she can't put it down and strokes the watch on her wrist, and grinned: "I like it, thank you, uncle!" ”

"Well, let's go study." Tang Yi twisted her delicate little face, Bao'er obediently agreed, turned around and jumped upstairs.

Sister Lan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Secretary Tang, that watch is very expensive, I recognize it, it's Cartier of France." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "I didn't buy too expensive models, but Cartier's bracelet watch is really beautiful, I couldn't help but buy it for Bao'er when I saw it, it seems to be 120,000 points." ”

Sister Lan's brain buzzed, and she wanted Bao'er to wear hundreds of thousands of yuan on her wrist? How old is she? What if it's seen by the bad guys?

Tang Yi knew Sister Lan's worries, so he said: "You don't need to tell Bao'er, just ask her to wear it as an ordinary watch, besides, even if you know the brand, you must think it's an imitation, I see that there are a lot of little girls on the street who wear this kind of bracelet watch, don't worry." ”

Sister Lan thought about it, so she nodded, not to mention that even if she was not happy, at most she would scold the black-faced god, how could he change his mind? Immediately began to envy Bao'er, this little girl, how old she is, she wears a watch of more than 100,000 yuan, coaxes her another day, and borrows it for a few days, but she must not be known by the black-faced god.

At this time, Tang Yi handed a paper bag to Sister Lan and said, "This is for you, Rolex women's watch, you have worked hard in the past few years." After buying a watch for Bao'er, Tang Yi rarely remembered Sister Lan once, thinking that Sister Lan was not easy, she had been following her all these years, doing her best to take care of the trivial things at home, without her, her life might really be a mess.

Tang Yi pondered it, so he bought Sister Lan a Rolex women's watch of more than 80,000 yuan, thinking that Sister Lan would like it.

Sure enough, Sister Lan smiled so much that a flower bloomed, and she took the paper bag flattered, stammering and not knowing what she was talking about, Tang Yi shook his head, and was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang.

Tang Yi answered the phone, Sister Lan didn't dare to disturb him anymore, she went to the kitchen to cook, and even peeked at the black-faced god without looking at it, so she opened the package, picked up the watch, and kissed it a few times.

Tang Yi's call was from Huang Lin, and now because several deputy mayors have entered the organizing committee, especially Zhou Wenkai, a member of the organizing committee, although he is not a deputy director, in fact, he is responsible for the work of the organizing committee, and Huang Lin has shared a lot of the work on the municipal axe, in a sense, Huang Lin has actually exercised the power of the deputy mayor.

This is the reason why Tang Yi has not arranged for Huang Lin to participate in the preparation of the Expo and the World Expo, he just wants to take this opportunity to let Huang Lin share more work, participate in the operation of the political axe, and accumulate more experience.

However, after receiving a call from Huang Lin so late, Tang Yi knew that it would not be good news, and sure enough, Huang Lin said on the phone: "Today, Wang Biao and Vice Mayor Sun stood up." ”

Wang Biao, naturally Wang Biao, executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Sun Biao is expected to concurrently serve as the director of the Expo Bureau, and recently often meets with the municipal departments to coordinate, and the heads of the committees and bureaus, most of them do not sell Sun Wang's account, especially Wang Biao, the meeting has never been on time, today's meeting, Wang Biao is late, Sun Wang Wang is expected to criticize him a few words, who knows that Wang Biao feels that he has been cut face in public, and he actually contradicts Sun Hope in public, and Sun Biao is very unable to get off the stage.

Tang Yi frowned when he heard this, and Huang Lin said: "Now that the meeting is not over yet, Vice Mayor Sun seems to be very angry, and he doesn't know how long the meeting will be." Huang Lin was also a little angry, after all, everyone knew that Sun Wang was Mayor Tang's person, Wang Biao didn't take Sun Wang into his eyes, and it could be seen from the side that he didn't respect Mayor Tang very much.

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "Let him be." ”

Huang Lin sighed, asked Mayor Tang if there was anything else, and hung up the phone.

Tang Yi picked up the teacup, frowned, and took a sip slowly.

……

Zeng Qingming didn't expect Tang Yi to take the initiative to come to him, and he was talking about last year's bribery case in the city bureau building.

Zeng Qingming knew that Tang Yi was a person, and he was not completely sure, and he would not talk to him if he wanted to, but this case seemed to be gently put down at the beginning, but in fact, Zeng Qingming was under a lot of pressure, and there were different voices within the Commission for Discipline Inspection, thinking that Secretary Zeng liked to make a big fuss.

Tang Yi suddenly brought up this case, and said that with new clues, Zeng Qingming felt a little unhappy, why didn't he tell the clues in the first place, and must he use the case as a tool for political struggle? Wait until you have a firm foothold and feel that you can move the king mark?

However, listening to Tang Yi's explanation, although Zeng Qingming was still a little difficult to let go, the unhappiness just now was much lighter.

Tang Yi said that he talked with Xiao Qin, a waiter at the Welcome Pavilion two days ago, and accidentally learned that the city bureau had taken away Xiao Xiaohui, the manager of the Huanghai Hotel, and said that Xiao Xiaohui was the mastermind who wrote the false accusation letter, but not long after, Xiao Xiaohui was released, and then the whole case was gone.

Zeng Qingming groaned and said slowly: "What Mayor Tang means is that Xiao Xiaohui knows a lot of inside stories about Wang Biao, and because of the bidding for the Municipal Bureau Office Building and Wang Biao, he wrote a letter to Wang Biao in a fit of anger, and in the end, the two finally reached some kind of reconciliation?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and said: "I don't know about this, what the situation is, Secretary Zeng and the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection have to peel back the cocoon and find out the truth step by step." ”

Zeng Qingming frowned slightly, there is no certificate and no evidence, how to conduct the preliminary verification? Not to mention filing a case.

Tang Yi seemed to know his difficulties, and said with a smile: "Of course, I just heard such a suspicious point, and I chatted with you, as for whether this new clue is useful or not, I am a layman after all, and I don't understand it very well." ”

Zeng Qingming just smiled: "The mayor is too humble. ”

After Tang Yi left, Zeng Qingming pondered for a while, this thing still has to be done, there is no reason not to do it in public and private, in the public, listening to Mayor Tang's words, Wang Biao and Xiao Xiaohui are very likely to have money transactions, in private, Mayor Tang is ready to move Wang Biao, why not fight back against the fierce pursuit over there this time, if you want to realize your long-cherished wish for many years, and finally defeat the big tiger, you must get Mayor Tang's support, it can be said that you and Mayor Tang will have two benefits and two harms.

After pondering the stakes, Zeng Qingming did not hesitate, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone number of Director Li of the First Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office.

……

Thunderbolt, the Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly filed a case against Wang Biao for investigation, not only the city bureau shook, the entire Yellow Sea was boiling, everyone knew that Wang Biao was the future director of the city bureau selected by some people above, the grapevine legend said that the next term of change was originally scheduled, Zhang Dingzhong resigned from the post of director of the public security bureau, and only served as a member of the Standing Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Wang Biao would naturally take over the post of director, but he did not want the situation to change abruptly, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly launched an investigation into Wang Biao.

In the small conference room on the third floor of the municipal party committee, the red party flag on the wall shines brightly under the light of the tile lamp.

Just after a fierce argument, Zeng Qingming took a big sip of his cigarette, and his emotions calmed down a little.

On the issue of whether to temporarily suspend Wang Biao, the four deputy secretaries had serious differences of opinion, Tang Yi and Zeng Qingming believed that Wang Biao should be temporarily suspended, but Wang Lizhen was resolutely opposed, Huang Xiangdong did not speak much, he just remained silent, listening to Wang Lizhen and Zeng Qingming's words.

Wang Lizhen said with a little sarcasm: "Do you really have evidence for the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Since the evidence is conclusive, why not immediately impose shuanggui on Wang Biao? ”

Zeng Qingming said with a dark face: "During the investigation, all materials will be kept confidential. ”

Actually, Tang Yi is also very strange, he heard that the case handlers of the Commission for Discipline Inspection took Xiao Xiaohui away the night before yesterday, and then filed a case against Wang Biao for investigation, Xiao Xiaohui is so easy to deal with, and he will tell everything when he is brought to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? She's not such a simple woman.

(To be continued)
