In the box on the first floor of the North Korean Hotel, Tang Yi, Zhang Zhen, and Su Mei drank Korean rice wine, laughing and chatting.

Su Mei took the train back to the provincial capital later, and Tang Yi and Zhang Zhen made a trip for her.

After the Standing Committee, Tang Yi could clearly feel the change in the attitude of Anton's cadres towards him, and he was very careful when reporting his work, and some cadres had extended an olive branch to Tang Yi, intending to move closer to Tang Yi.

In the past few days, Tang Yi and Zhang Zhen have only met once at the meeting of the Political and Legal Committee, and they have not had the opportunity to talk in detail, but today is the first time that the two of them have had the opportunity to sit down and have a deep talk after the Standing Committee.

After taking a mouthful of mushrooms, Tang Yi exclaimed: "Delicious and delicious, good." ”

Zhang Zhen, on the other hand, is quite an expert and is obviously a frequent visitor here, he explained: "It's a Baektu Mountain mushroom, a North Korean specialty. ”

Su Mei blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled: "The little North Korean girls outside are all beautiful." ”

Zhang Zhen nodded and agreed: "Not only are they beautiful, but they are also good at singing and dancing, and they are going to perform in the hotel every night in the future, and they have been reported to the cultural department for approval." ”

Tang Yi smiled, and said in his heart that the person in charge of this hotel is not old-fashioned, but also keeps pace with the times.

Su Mei glared at Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen took advantage of Tang Yi's inattention, and secretly gave Su Mei a smile, Tang Yi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and smiled secretly in his heart, Su Mei is also a powerful woman, and she will be obedient to Zhang Zhen's tidy up.

After touching a cup with Zhang Zhen, Tang Yi asked, "Is the work of the Municipal Bureau going well?" ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "I just took over, and I am familiar with the stage, it is difficult to say, but the initial impression is that the work is not very easy to carry out." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly: "Secretary Mao has been in the city bureau for more than 20 years, right?" Learn more from him, you can learn a lot of things, and Director Tieshi is a very good cadre, you should have more contact. ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "I have written down Secretary Tang's golden and jade good words. ”

According to Tang Yi's thoughts, now is the best time to enter the city bureau, really wait for Ren Tieshi to gain a firm foothold, and then it will be difficult to open the situation, the current city bureau, Mao Haishan and his family are falling apart, and they are in danger of being cleaned, and they are bound to find a new shelterer, Zhang Zhen can take advantage of the situation and fight with Ren Tieshi. It's just the situation of the city bureau, Tang Yi can't talk to Zhang Zhenming, so he can only rely on himself to slowly explore.

Su Mei raised her glass to salute Tang Yi, and said with a smile: "Secretary Tang, I, a mortal with the naked eye, still haven't recognized your true god, compared with you, a strong dragon, no matter how old and spicy the snake is, it has become a loach in the pond, and I will return to the provincial capital immediately, I salute you three cups, you are free to do so, I wish you a soaring sky!" ”

Watching Su Mei dry up one by one, Tang Yi smiled slightly, poured a full bottle of wine, drank it all, and prepared to toast with Su Mei three times in a row, no matter what kind of person Su Mei is, a woman in the family says auspicious words and toasts, Tang Yi can't pretend to be reserved and put on a shelf.

Who knew that after a full glass of wine, Tang Yi's stomach immediately turned over the river and the sea, and he felt like vomiting, he tried his best to hold back, his face was a little pale, Zhang Zhen hurriedly stopped Tang Yi's hand to reach the wine bottle, and persuaded: "Secretary Tang, don't be crazy with her, she is famous for a thousand cups and is not drunk." ”

Su Mei giggled: "Secretary Tang, it seems that you are really goldless, and you also have a dead hole!" ”

Tang Yi said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, my amount of wine is really a little shallow." ”

Su Mei was a little flattered, all along, although she was flattering and flattering in front of Tang Yi, and her performance was smooth and free, but people have self-esteem, and women like Su Mei are no exception, but they buried the meaningless self-esteem they thought was deep in their hearts, and they were already a little surprised to see Tang Yi ready to toast three times with him, but when she saw Tang Yi saying sorry with apologies, Su Mei was stunned, and a sense of gratitude rose in her heart. But then she smiled coquettishly: "Secretary Tang, do you want me to punish myself a few more cups of apology?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand.

Zhang Zhen sighed in his heart, this young man, in terms of demeanor and means, is indeed convincing, maybe what Su Mei said to himself really needs to be carefully considered.

Next, the atmosphere in the three-person room was more harmonious, and while he was talking and laughing, Tang Yi's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was his mother's voice: "Xiaoyi, have you eaten?" ”

Tang Yien sighed.

Xiao Jinhua immediately said: "It's cold over there, don't forget to wear a few more clothes." ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, no matter whether his mother is a billionaire or a business tycoon, she is also verbose in front of herself, like all mothers in the world, she doesn't like her children who think she has grown up.

Helpless is helpless, but Tang Yi is grateful, and said, "Well, don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”

Xiao Jinhua smiled: "I'm really not at ease, so I have to hurry up and marry your daughter-in-law, I have given you the marriage date with the girl of the Ning family." ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Mom, wait a minute!" He looked at his watch, raised his head and smiled, "I'll go out and make a call." ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Don't, Secretary Tang, you can fight here, the hall outside is noisy, you can't go to the street to make a phone call, right?" ”

Su Mei stood up and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhen sent me to the train station, Secretary Tang, I will leave." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, shook hands with Su Mei and said goodbye, and said to Zhang Zhen: "This meal is mine." Su Meijiao smiled: "Of course, how much does your reception fee cost a year?" Zhang Zhen is only a few people, let's call killing the rich and helping the poor. ”

Tang Yi smiled, no squeak, think about it, he hasn't used the reception fee since he came to Anton, this is not good, some are different, they will be regarded as fake Qinggao, they should be used, as long as they are used on the right path.

Tang Yi's current reception fee is about 50,000 yuan per year, of course, this kind of money will not be explicitly stipulated in the document, but only the default rules, and as long as Gu Xinming does not let go, basically the Municipal Party Committee Office and Finance Department will still write off the account.

After Zhang Zhen and Su Mei left, Tang Yi closed the box door, picked up his mobile phone, and said; "Mom, did grandpa call you?"

Xiao Jinhua said with a smile: "This time I took the initiative to communicate with the old man, you are not small, even if you take the lead in advocating late marriage and late childbearing, it is time to get married!" ”

Tang Yien sighed, knowing that he could no longer hide.

Xiao Jinhua said again: "I have chosen the son, the year of Jiaxu, the month of Bingzi, and I am ugly." Yi Nacai, betrothed, married, sacrificed, prayed, incense, fire, traveled, met relatives and friends......" is obviously reciting the yellow calendar.

Tang Yi said helplessly: "What day is it?" ”

Xiao Jinhua was a little dissatisfied: "What's the hurry? Want to be a bride? December 29th, Thursday, the zodiac auspicious said, please Hong Kong's Master Long approved the eight characters, the two of you are a match made in heaven, auspicious said to be married, then the dragon and phoenix are auspicious. ”

Tang Yi rolled his eyes and had nothing to say.

Xiao Jinhua said again: "I've met my little sister, did she tell you?" ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned and asked, "When?" ”

"The day before yesterday, I just came back from China, and I have been busy for half a month, so I went to Hong Kong to ask Master Long to meet with the old man, agree on your marriage, and meet the parents of the Ning family, but it is very comfortable, little sister, alas, what a good girl, wronged people. Also, there is Qi Jie, ala......s, "Xiao Jinhua knew that his son was reluctant to part with Qi Jie, but he was a little unhappy with his little sister and Qi Jie.

Tang Yi's face was a little red and he was silent.

"You, you and your dad really don't have the same surname, why are you so careful?" Xiao Jinhua began to count Tang Yi, after all, she is a woman, and she can't see a man messing with flowers and grass, even if she is her own son, she doesn't feel a little angry. It's okay that I haven't seen my little sister before, I think that political marriage, my son is not very happy when he gets married, and it is good to have a lovely Qi Jie by her side, but when she sees the beautiful little sister, she can fight for the two good girls.

Tang Yi was scolded by his mother, and he felt a little comfortable, but in fact, he hoped that Qi Jie would scold him more.

couldn't hear Tang Yi's voice, but Xiao Jinhua was afraid that his tone would be heavy and hurt his baby son's heart, so he sighed and said: "Forget it, let's talk about your marriage with my little sister, the old man also agrees with Master Long to be the special consultant for the preparation of your marriage, responsible for all the guidance on timing and positioning, and the layout of your two new homes in the future is also handled by Master Long......

Tang Yi was depressed when he heard this, and couldn't help but interject: "You won't get this yin-yang mirror and that ever-bright lamp at home, Mom, when did you believe this?" ”

Xiao Jinhua chuckled: "Don't worry, Master Long is not so dull, and now Feng Shui is also modern." ”

Tang Yi asked again: "Where is our new home?" Suddenly remembered something, and said, "Mom, it can't be the villa you talked about last time, did you ask how I like to decorate it?" ”

Xiao Jinhua smiled: "It's still my baby son who is smart, but I also consulted my little sister's opinion, combined with the taste of the two of you and Master Long's expertise, my mother guarantees that your new home will become a sweet little love nest." The location, keep it secret, you'll know then. ”

Tang Yi sighed: "Grandpa can also let you mess around." "But there was a sense of relief in my heart, my mother was finally willing to go home, and it looked like the old lady still doted on her, no wonder, the daughter-in-law who had not seen her for many years made a special trip back to coax him to be happy, and the old lady must be happy. In the past, my mother refused to bow her head because she felt that the old lady was domineering and unfair to herself, but now my mother is standing at the top of the world and has a peaceful mentality.

Xiao Jinhua said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a son who talks like this?" What nonsense, Master Long is the most famous feng shui master in Hong Kong, and it is not easy to invite him, but ......" suddenly giggled, and Tang Yi was inexplicable for a while.

Xiao Jinhua smiled and said: "Son, haven't you seen Master Long's appearance in front of the old man, it's worse than seeing an idol in the star chaser clan, I see, he just doesn't dare to say it, otherwise, he will definitely ask the old man to sign a commemorative photo and take a group photo, giggles, I laughed to death at the time, in Hong Kong, you don't know how arrogant Master Long is, I heard that the Hong Kong Governor invited him to come to the door in person, what did I say at the time, he just didn't agree to go to Yanjing with me, but I mentioned the old man, and he followed me on the road with suspicion." ”

Listening to his mother's cheerful narration, Tang Yi also felt leisurely, but he couldn't reach the realm of grandpa anyway. Although the king is defeated and the king is defeated, history is written by the victors. But it is undeniable that no matter what political views they hold, most people will always be full of worship for the legends born in the rain of bullets, and Master Long is not immune.

Tang Yi didn't ask why his mother didn't come to see him when she returned to China, thinking that it was too late. It's a little strange that my mother knows Master Long. asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly think of inviting Master Long, I don't remember that you believe in feng shui." ”

Xiao Jinhua said: "It's also a coincidence, when I was in Hong Kong, I happened to hear about this master Long, the wedding of the baby son, of course, it must be perfect, feng shui can last for thousands of years, and it has its own reason, you don't have to resist too much, just be superstitious as a mother." ”

Tang Yi smiled, and Xiao Jinhua said: "Speaking of going to Hong Kong, I have something to tell you, I recently talked to my group of financial experts about inheritance tax, and I wondered, can we not eat half of this money by American devils......

Hearing this, Tang Yi laughed dumbly, why did my mother go back to Yanjing and be infected by the old guard next to the old lady? Opening his mouth and closing his mouth about the American devil made Tang Yi laugh for a while. However, when it comes to inheritance tax, Tang Yi also knows that the inheritance tax in the United States is very heavy, up to 55%, but he has never taken it seriously, but he can't imagine that his mother has taken precautions.

I heard Xiao Jinhua say again: "So I registered an investment company in the Cayman Islands, Huayi Investment, and slowly transferred the money of our mother, and Huayi Fund left half of the money and developed slowly." In addition, the new business will be done by Huayi Investment, just like this investment in Yahoo, I am using Huayi Investment, what do you think? ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Of course it's good, but Mom, register a few more companies, otherwise every time the stock is sold, there will be the shadow of Huayi Investment, which is too eye-catching." ”

Xiao Jinhua smiled: "I think so too." ”

Tang Yi also let go of a worry in his heart, not to be able to escape any inheritance tax, but the registered companies in these tax-free paradises such as the Cayman Islands are almost completely unregulated, and there are basically no restrictions on capital flow.

"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, you should also adjust your mentality and prepare to be the groom's officer." Xiao Jinhua finally smiled and instructed Tang Yi, but Tang Yi only nodded helplessly in agreement.

Hung up Xiao Jinhua's phone, Tang Yi pondered for a while, and quickly dialed Qi Jie's number, but could it be that this time it was her mother who informed her.

Hearing Tang Yi's voice, Qi Jie smiled sweetly: "Husband, calling so late, do you miss me?" ”

Hearing the excitement in Qi Jie's microphone, Tang Yixin felt a little uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "I, I will get married next month." ”

Qi Jiema said with a smile; "Husband, it's amazing, do you want to enjoy the blessings of all people?"

Tang Yi sighed: "Qi Jie, I'm sorry, I ......" I finally couldn't fulfill my promise.

Qi Jie seemed to purse her lips and said angrily: "Husband, is it okay to be a mother-in-law?" I'll change my mind if I do this again, husband, do you want me to snatch you back now? ”

Tang Yi didn't speak, Qi Jie always used her way to alleviate the guilt in her heart, but what about her heart, is it dripping blood?

Tang Yi suddenly found that he had made a big mistake, a very unmanly mistake, yes, he felt guilty, but at this time, he always showed himself very guilty and ashamed, but he wanted Qi Jie, who was full of scars, to make a smile to comfort himself, but it was not wrong or more outrageous?

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Qi Jie, I'll go see you in a few days." ”

Qi Jiejiao smiled: "Excuse me, what you have to do now is to hurry up and make a post-marriage plan, at least, I want to see you once in half a month!" Don't become a strict wife as soon as you get married, and you won't dare to see me for a year and a half. ”

Tang Yi said, "Okay." It made Qi Jie giggle: "Husband, when did you become so obedient?" ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly; "You're getting more and more of a headache."

Hung up Qi Jie's phone, Tang Yi sat on the chair in a daze, and after a while, he took out the address book from his bag and looked at a number that was Chen Ke's pager number in Yongbian, which Tang Yi got from Sister Ma.

Hesitating, Tang Yi finally picked up the phone and dialed the Yongbian paging station.

The new pager that Chen Fangyuan bought for Chen Ke was Han Xian, Tang Yi thought about it for a while in the impatient urging voice of the pager lady before leaving a sentence, "I'm getting married, I wish you happiness." ”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi stayed for a while, and dialed the pager again, but this time it was a very simple message, "Return my call." ”

After a few minutes, the mobile phone rang dibly, Tang Yi picked it up, and Chen Ke's crisp and pleasant voice sounded: "Brother! ”

Tang Yi smiled: "How is it, how are you doing?" ”

Chen Ke didn't answer Tang Yi's words, but said softly: "Brother, I'm very happy to see you call me back." ”

Tang Yi sighed: "What's so happy, with me, you can shed all your tears, a while ago I wanted to fork, confused, it made you sad and uncomfortable." ”

Chen Ke was silent for a while, and said: "Brother, in fact, I have been thinking a lot these days, you don't have to worry about me, I will focus on my work and will not think crankily." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "That's good, that's good." "My heart is a little sour.

Both of them were silent, and after a while, Chen Ke said softly: "Brother, happy newlywed." Then hung up the phone, Tang Yi listened to the busy tone in the earpiece, and was stunned for a while.

Picking up the teapot that was already cold and pouring a cup of tea, Tang Yi frowned, took a few sips slowly, put down the teaglass, and finally made up his mind, and picked up his mobile phone to dial again.

Within a minute, Chen Ke's phone came back, "Brother, yes, is there something?" ”

Listening to Chen Ke's sobbing voice, Tang Yi knew that after hanging up the phone, she was afraid that she had been crying, sighed softly, and said, "Chen Ke, I'll give you half a year, and after half a year, I will start chasing you." ”

"Huh?" Chen Ke was obviously hit, he couldn't believe his ears, he was frightened by Tang Yiyi, and his sobbing stopped.

Tang Yi smiled: "You just treat me as a bad man, in short, I will give you half a year to calm down, after half a year, I, a married man, will pursue you, I will persevere, unless you have a boyfriend in the past six months, otherwise, I will not let go of you." ”

Chen Ke was obviously stunned, unable to understand Tang Yi's words for a while, and his head was probably buzzing.

Tang Yi said to himself: "I'm serious, and I'm telling you, don't use a fake boyfriend to fool me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”

Chen Ke stammered: "Brother, you, you, married, chase, chase me?" Hearing Chen Ke's frightened voice, Tang Yi laughed: "Who stipulates that you can't chase girls when you get married?" Can't I chase you as my lover? If you don't want to be a lover, you should hurry up and get a boyfriend. ”

Chen Ke finally returned to normal after a while, and muttered angrily: "Brother, you are really a bad man." How can there be someone like you, who wants to chase a lover before you get married. Although there was some anger in his voice, at least he was in a better mood.

Tang Yi smiled: "Then you have to be careful, don't fall into the clutches of a bad man like me!" ”

Chen Ke snorted angrily; "You're so beautiful, then you come and chase me, how can I torture you when I see it." Tang Yi was stunned, but Chen Ke suddenly laughed again: "Brother, it's funny to think about your expression when you chase me and I reject it fiercely, hmph, even if it's to see how you chase girls, I don't have a boyfriend, hehe, I'm waiting for you to chase me, just so that you can't catch me, I'm angry with you!" ”

Tang Yi was speechless, knowing that he might have dug a big hole for himself again.
