Chapter 80: Trade-offs
Su Mei owes her body, Tang Yi hurriedly took a pillow behind her, Su Mei smiled gratefully, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm just injured, I want to see Zhang Zhen, it's really hard to be alone in a foreign land, especially at night." ”
Tang Yi nodded sympathetically, in Anton, in the dead of night, how could Tang Yi not miss the people he cared about?
"Mayor Tang, you are busy with your going, I really don't have anything to do here."
Tang Yi took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and said, "Xiao Zheng's expression tells me, you must have offended someone, you really don't want to tell me?" Then, I'll ask Xiao Zheng. With that, he put down his teacup and stood up.
Su Mei hurriedly grabbed him, and said helplessly: "It's from the Provincial Public Security Department, it's actually not a big deal, it's just a crash, but they are quite horizontal, they hurt me, and put a hat on me to obstruct the office, I just want to scare Zhang Zhen and ask him to help me do this, Xiao Zheng hasn't seen much of the world, of course, it's a big deal, alas, why did you alarm you?" ”
Tang Yi smiled: "It's nothing, when they come again, you call me, and I'll talk to them." ”
Su Mei nodded slightly, and Tang Yi stood up and said, "Then you are so good to give birth, I'll make an appointment." ”
Su Mei looked at Tang Yi questioningly, and Tang Yi smiled: "Make an appointment to see the provincial elder." Su Mei smiled coquettishly.
Tang Yi came out of the ward, Xiao Zheng was just about to enter the ward, Tang Yi stopped her, Xiao Zheng knew Tang Yi's identity, and in the face of this very young mayor, she was surprised and a little restrained.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, you take care of her, and I'll go back to Anton." Eyes, carefully observing Xiao Zheng's reaction.
Xiao Zheng said in surprise: "You, are you going back to Anton?" ”
Tang Yi nodded: "Anton will be very busy these days, although Su Mei is my old friend, I can't stay to take care of her." ”
Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Mayor Tang, can you come tonight?" ”
Tang Yi stared at her and was silent, Xiao Zheng was under Tang Yi's forced gaze, only to feel that his heart was also seen through by him, and he opened his mouth unconsciously: "Yes, it was the deputy director of the Public Security Department Lei who said that he would come over at night, Manager Su, Manager Su knew him before, I accompanied Manager Su to have dinner with him a few times, he, he used to have a good attitude, but, but I don't know how he changed that day, he seemed to promise Manager Su something, but he didn't do it, and he changed his face, and later, later Manager Su was beaten."
I, I heard Manager Su's call in the morning, it seems that Director Lei will come over in the evening, Manager Su is very afraid, no, he said that he will transfer to the ward when Anton's friend comes, Mayor Tang, you, can you help Manager Su? I, I'm so scared something will happen to her. ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect things to be so twisty and turning, Su Mei, she has been preparing to develop in Jiaozhou for a long time, this Director Lei is probably her new relationship, she didn't help Su Mei but turned her face? I'm afraid that Su Mei is asking for the reward? even said something excessive, which made Hall Lei angry, and people naturally didn't care about the lone woman from the northeast.
Su Mei, now the city is very deep, and she has been acting very naturally just now, but she didn't see that she would be in such a big trouble, and it involves a conflict of interest, she doesn't want to know about it.
Tang Yi thought about it, then took out a card from his bag and handed it to Xiao Zheng, saying, "This is my phone, that Director Lei really found you at night, and the atmosphere is not right, you take the time to call this call to find me." ”
Xiao Zheng hurriedly put away the card solemnly and nodded vigorously.
……
Lingnan Provincial Cadre Villa Area is located at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Jiaozhou City.
Xiaoqingshan is the most famous leisure resort in Jiaozhou, and it is also a national 4A-level scenic spot, the mountain is not high, it is six or seven hundred meters, it is composed of a group of continuous mountain ranges, and you can see the Qinghe River around the city on the top of the mountain, to the foot of the mountain, circling around, flowing to the sea in the east.
Thirty or forty villas are built on a small hill not far from Xiaoqingshan, there are high and low, scattered, white walls and red tiles, hidden in the lush trees, it looks quiet and solemn, highlighting the extraordinary identity of the owner.
Tang Yi was taken in by the nanny Xiao Li, and the armed police soldiers with loaded guns in front of the gate obviously recognized Xiao Li, but they still carefully checked Tang Yi's ID card and work permit, and then waved his hand to let him go.
Tang Yi and Xiao Li have met a few times, a very delicate Sichuan girl, diligent with hands and feet, well-behaved and obedient, very loved by the second aunt, brought from Yanjing to Lingnan.
Looking at Xiao Li, Tang Yi remembered the delicious and lazy best in his home, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, I really can't envy it!
The spacious living room, perhaps because of the identity of the owner, has a simple layout, but it looks majestic, quiet and solemn.
On the east wall, there is a painting of the old lady's pen and ink, four words "quiet and far-reaching", the pen is condensed, deep and indifferent, which makes people look at the heart and mind.
Tang Wandong saw Tang Yi staring at the pen and ink on the wall, and said with a smile: "I'm not as elegant as your dragon and phoenix residence here, you're a match made in heaven, and I'm here, quiet and far-reaching." ”
Listening to the second uncle teasing, Tang Yi smiled, speaking of which, the words and ink written by the chief have been kept by himself, but he doesn't dare to hang it up, lest it be too shocking, first of all, he is afraid of scaring Sister Lan, and he is afraid that it will cause some shadow to her to wipe the wall.
"You, you, you don't say hello a few days in advance before you come, your second aunt has returned to Beijing, but she has been chattering a few times, saying that she misses you."
Tang Yi smiled: "Wait for the Spring Festival, I also miss the second aunt." ”
Tang Wandong picked up the teacup and tasted the tea, glanced at Tang Yi a few times, and asked, "Xinxin, have been in contact with you very diligently recently?" ”
Tang Yien sighed, Tang Wandong nodded, "Tell me more about her, she listens to you." ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Xinxin doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Xiao Li sent the cut fruit to the coffee table, Tang Wandong looked at his watch, and said to Xiao Li: "Prepare dinner, be light, Xiao Yi doesn't like to eat meat." Xiao Li responded sharply, and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Second uncle, are you working on the water control project?"
Tang Wandong frowned, Tang Yi knew that he was muttering in his heart, this kid, why don't you leave the water control in three sentences?
But I still have to say, "Second uncle, the floods in the south have been serious in the past two years, you can't take it lightly!" ”
Tang Wandong nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and tasted tea, obviously not liking to discuss this topic with Tang Yi again.
Tang Yi did not give up, and said stubbornly: "Second uncle, I think that not only should Lingnan take water control as a major matter, but you should also put forward a special topic on water control at the national surname conference, and you should vigorously carry out Lingnan water control and attract the attention of several southern provinces and even the whole country." ”
If it was before, I was afraid that Tang Wandong would have impatiently reprimanded Tang Yi, but now Tang Yi's status is different, although Tang Wandong is impatient in his heart, he just smiled and said: "Face project, no matter how much you do, it is only face, and the economy is the lining!" ”
Tang Yi shook his head: "Controlling the water, suppressing the flood, can prevent the displacement of tens of millions of people, this is a real achievement, second uncle, it is not difficult to engage in the economy in the south, and it is not difficult to increase GDP, but it is really difficult to really do something eye-catching, vigorously control the water, how can it not be a bad thing, as you said, at most, I will be scolded by others for a few words of face engineering, but if you really encounter ......a flood, Tang Yi will not continue, since he can't clearly say that he can foresee the flood in the next year, If you want the second uncle to face up to himself, righteousness doesn't make sense, only with interests and interests.
Tang Wandong drank tea slowly and did not speak, but Tang Yi knew that he was tempted.
"Second uncle, Director Huang of the Public Security Department, do you know this person?" Tang Yi suddenly remembered the matter of Su Mei, Tang Yi was not very clear about the situation in Lingnan, and he didn't want to ask too much, there were some things that were not within his scope, and the less he knew, the better.
Tang Wandong smiled, "Public security, it's very complicated!" As he spoke, he asked Tang Yi, "How do you know him?" ”
Listening to the second uncle's tone, Tang Yi knew that the second uncle did not control the public security forces in Lingnan, after all, after that collision, it was not only the Tang family that took the opportunity to enter Lingnan, not to mention, the inherent forces in Lingnan would not disappear immediately, and the situation in Lingnan should be extremely complicated.
Tang Yi pondered the wording and said slowly: "It's a friend of mine, a businessman from Chuncheng, who recently came to Jiaozhou for development, and should have some interest disputes with Director Huang, not only was he injured, but tonight, Director Huang seems to be going to find her trouble." ”
"Oh?" Tang Wandong sat up straight, obviously very interested in this information. "Tell me the details of your friend."
Tang Yi knew that this news might be useful to the second uncle, so he couldn't hide it at all, so he revealed Su Mei's information and inventory, and even her personal relationship with Zhang Zhen was not hidden.
Tang Wandong slowly leaned back on the sofa, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the coffee table.
Tang Yi stopped talking and drank tea silently.
The music that suddenly sounded on the mobile phone broke the silence, Tang Yi hurriedly took out the mobile phone from his bag, looked at the number, and said, "It's Chuncheng's mobile phone number, it should be Su Mei's secretary Xiao Zheng." Just wanted to connect, Tang Wandong pressed down with his palm, "Don't answer." ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, looked up at Tang Wandong, and immediately understood, Second Uncle, I hope this matter will be bigger, the bigger the better.
Just listening to Xiao Zheng, Director Huang has a real fire, and he has already injured Su Mei, and he still comes to trouble Su Mei reluctantly, which shows that the entanglement between the two is not simple, and he sits idly by, but he doesn't know what harm Su Mei will suffer.
Tang Wandong leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly.
The music of the mobile phone sounded harshly, Tang Yi looked at the beating number in the mobile phone blankly, and finally, slowly put the mobile phone back in his handbag.
"Xiaoyi, after eating, you will go back to Anton, here, you don't care." Tang Wandong looked at Tang Yi with a smile, "The kindness of a woman is a big taboo. ”
Tang Yi nodded silently, glanced at Tang Wandong, in a trance, the second uncle's smile was very familiar, and he liked this kind of smile more and more, right?
……
On the afternoon of the second day after Tang Yi returned to Anton, he received a call from Tang Wandong, and he asked with a smile: "Time, is it your child's magazine?" "In the times, the fame in the southern provinces is getting louder and louder.
Tang Yi understood what the second uncle meant, and said, "I will introduce Editor-in-Chief Li and Xiao Wang to each other." "Xiao Wang is Tang Wandong's secretary.
Tang Wandong gave a sigh of encouragement and hung up the phone.
Tang Yi picked up the documents on the table, sighed softly, thought about it, picked up the mobile phone, and just wanted to dial Zhang Zhen, the door was knocked gently, Lin Guozhu unscrewed the door, Zhang Zhen had already rushed in in a hurry, squeezing Lin Guozhu into a stumbling position, Lin Guozhu looked at Zhang Zhen in surprise, and saw Tang Yi waving his hand to himself, so he didn't make a sound, withdrew, and closed the door.
"Mayor, you, why are you back?" Zhang Zhen's face was complicated.
Tang Yi pointed to the sofa, walked down himself, sat on the sofa, Zhang Zhen sat down, and said anxiously: "Su Mei, Su Mei was beaten by several unknown men in the People's Hospital last night, Xiao Zheng said, she called you, you didn't answer, did you?" ”
Tang Yi sighed, Su Mei was transferred to the hospital, but she was still found. glanced at Zhang Zhen and nodded slightly.
Zhang Zhen was stunned, wanted to speak, but held back.
"There are a lot of things that I can't control." Tang Yi silently lit a cigarette and smoked.
Zhang Zhen was a little clear, picked up the Chinese on the coffee table, lit one too, and smoked a cigarette.
Tang Yi was slightly relieved, people's subconscious actions can reveal a lot of true thoughts, since Zhang Zhen did not take out a cigarette from his own pocket, but took his own cigarette on the coffee table, it shows that Zhang Zhen subconsciously did not have the idea of breaking with himself.
When the cigarette in his hand was halfway burned, Zhang Zhen raised his head and asked, "Mayor, then you say, should I go to Jiaozhou now?" ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly in his heart, in the hearts of people like Zhang Zhen, love is always ranked second to power, right?
What about yourself? Tang Yi was in a bad mood, and he was only fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.
"Zhang Zhen, I promise you, the cost of Su Mei's injury this time will be made up for tenfold and hundredfold, and I will guarantee that she will not be in danger from now on."
Tang Yi said categorically, Zhang Zhen looked up in amazement, Tang Yi stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Do your part, don't think about it." ”
Zhang Zhen snuffed out the cigarette butt and nodded slightly.
After Zhang Zhen left, Tang Yi dialed Tang Wandong's number, and Tang Wandong asked with a smile: "Is it for Su Mei's business?" ”
Tang Yien sighed and said very seriously: "Second uncle, I need Zhang Zhen's help very much. ”
Tang Wandong smiled: "What? Did the child complain to you? ”
Tang Yi didn't squeak, and the phone was silent, obviously, Tang Wandong's request for Tang Yi's solemnity needed to be carefully weighed.
After a while, Tang Wandong opened his voice: "Okay, I know. ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi found that his palms were sweaty, maybe the second uncle, who has always been vicious to his methods, has some mustard in his heart after all, right?
……
Ten days later, Tang Yi received a fax from the Times Club, and Editor-in-Chief Li passed the "Times" just published a few days ago and yesterday's Jiaozhou Newspaper to Tang Yi.
The hot pursuit column of "Times" reported that businesswomen in Northeast China were beaten several times in Jiaozhou, and the last beating even occurred in the hospital ward, and the perpetrators openly claimed to be public security, and the social impact was extremely bad.
Jiaozhou has been criticized by the public for these years, and this incident has received great attention from the Jiaozhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe, and the Jiaozhou Daily reported that the Jiaozhou police have formed a special team to investigate the case of a businesswoman being beaten by a fake public security.
Tang Yi put down the pages of copy paper, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The second uncle's strategy is very vague, starting from the bottom up, probably, the Jiaozhou Municipal Bureau, the second uncle can influence it.
As for the other party, naturally there will be no suspicions, but will do everything possible to cover up this matter, right? The more they cover up, the more people will be involved, and when the second uncle makes a force, the Lingnan Public Security Department is afraid that they will change the flag unconsciously.
Lighting a cigarette, Tang Yi suddenly felt very tired, is it that the higher the status, many things, but can no longer do what he wants? The higher the status, the more we must consider the overall situation when doing things, and we must maximize the collective interests we represent, but we can no longer act only on our own will.
……
On the night of New Year's Day, the Dragon and Phoenix Residence was extremely lively, Bao'er was jumping and running in the living room, laughing, for a long time, she was not so happy.
Xiaomei and Qi Jie couldn't come, Chen Ke seemed to be afraid of being occupied by Tang Yi again, so he went to Yanshan with Chen Fangyuan the night before.
The little sister was probably afraid that Tang Yi would be lonely, so she specially called Sister Lan and asked her to spend New Year's Day with Bao'er, Aunt Li and Tang Yi.
However, Sister Lan's eldest brother's family also took advantage of their daughter's holiday on New Year's Day to take their daughter to Andong for a tour, after Tang Yi heard Sister Lan's stammering report, he asked Sister Lan to bring her eldest brother's family to eat at home, Sister Lan was busy refusing to leave, and was reprimanded by Tang Yi, so she didn't dare to say it again.
Boss Xia and sister-in-law sat on the sofa restrainedly, not daring to move, and began to listen to Sister Lan say that they would go to the mayor's house for dinner, the two were still very excited, and felt that they could open their eyes, but when they entered the Longfeng Residence, they knew that they were not eye-opening, but suffering from sin.
Tang Yi handed Boss Xia a cigarette, Boss Xia took it stiffly, looked at the sign, and grinned innocently, "China, it's a good smoke." ”
Although Sister Lan was busy in the kitchen, she had been paying attention to the movement in the living room, and brought her eldest brother and sister-in-law to see Tang Yi, she was extremely reluctant, for fear that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would lose face.
Seeing the stupid appearance of the eldest brother, Sister Lan was angry, and then looked at the sister-in-law, before the monkey was sharp, after marrying Zhuo Dajun, every time she went back to her parents' house, she squeezed herself with a gun and a stick, as if she was afraid that she would take advantage of her mother's family, every time she went back to her parents' house in the past, Sister Lan was angry with her, and the sister-in-law was also famous in the village, and now look at it, the sister-in-law nestled in the sofa, smirking, but she couldn't say a word.
Thinking of the time when she gave her eldest brother 50,000 yuan to pay a fine, and said that after she worked as a nanny at the mayor's house, the shocked look of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Sister Lan was a little proud, and looked at the kind black-faced god, Sister Lan felt much more comfortable, and it was good to reprimand herself in private, but in front of outsiders, the black-faced god was very face-free, from the beginning of entering the house, he didn't pull his face when he talked to himself, and Sister Lan's little pride in her heart, don't mention it.
"Hmm" Bao'er tied her little arms and made a sound in her little mouth, running happily in the living room like an airplane.
Sister Lan was angry, and just wanted to reprimand her, but she remembered not to provoke the dissatisfaction of the black-faced god, when these many people scolded herself, then she lost face, endured it, and turned around to cut vegetables.
"Bao'er, come here!" Tang Yi is a little funny, twelve, why is he still like a child?
Bao'er flew into Tang Yi's arms with her arms, and hugged Tang Yi's neck affectionately: "Uncle, Bao'er is one year older, can you move back?" ”
She still remembered what Tang Yi said, and when she grew up, she could move back to live with Tang Yi.
Tang Yi smiled and hugged her and sat on his lap, and said, "When you are in the first year of junior high school, you will move back." ”
Boss Xia and sister-in-law were a little surprised when they saw Tang Yi and Bao'er's intimate appearance, the two used to be extremely bad to Bao'er, even now, although Sister Lan is financially wealthy, Bao'er has also become a city person, but the two still don't look down on this fatherless child, today I went to play in Korea Town, sister-in-law also counted Bao'er, and Boss Xia almost beat Bao'er because of Bao'er's quarrel with his daughter.
Seeing the young mayor hugging Bao'er and giggling and talking, the two of them were nervous, they were afraid that Bao'er would learn to speak, and they didn't know what the mayor's attitude was towards the two of them.
