Chapter 38: Bad News
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, all 14 members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee were present to discuss the issue of candidates for vice mayor to be submitted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the National People's Congress.
At the secretary's meeting two days ago, Tang Yi proposed that because of the preparation for the World Expo, the political axe was in charge of the leadership was insufficient, and he was ready to add a deputy mayor, who would be Duan Hejun, deputy director of the National People's Congress.
Huang Xiangdong and Wang Lizhen did not raise any objections to the addition of deputy mayors, but as soon as they heard that Tang Yi's proposed candidate was Duan Hejun, Wang Lizhen blew up the pot and said harshly that the appointment of a cadre who was close to retirement was not in line with the current political environment, and because of the World Expo, Huanghai was creating a vibrant, thriving young city image, because the team was aging, and now more young cadres should be promoted, and she proposed to promote Feng Yuelun, secretary of the Fuping Municipal Party Committee.
At the top of the Yellow Sea, everyone knows the grievances between Huang Xiangdong and Duan Hejun, Tang Yi asked Duan Hejun to re-enter the core of power, which naturally touched the nerves of some people, although Huang Xiangdong did not speak, but for the first time, his face was a little gloomy.
Although Tang Yi did not speak much at the meeting, he also spoke a few words with Wang Lizhen, and finally Cui Jingqun made a decision and voted on the Standing Committee.
Cui Jingqun, who sat at the top of the conference table, silently drank tea and listened to Tang Yi's speech, Tang Yi stated the division of labor of the main leaders of the city government because of the preparation for the World Expo, and finally said: "The addition of deputy mayors, not only because of the World Expo, modern urban development, can not be as before, only rely on the economic development of the city, or in other words, the development of the city and economic development are confused, the city's cultural business card, educational heritage These things are indispensable for the development of modern cities, everyone may know, The first step of the NBA in Asia was chosen in our Yellow Sea, which is not big or small is also a grand event, especially for Asian sports fans and basketball fans, the Yellow Sea will soon leave a deep imprint in their hearts, these are all factors that we can use to successfully shape the image of a modern city, in such an environment, we can no longer look at culture, education and sports with the old eyes of the past, we must pay attention to it and develop it, and it is very reasonable to add a deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and sports. It is also an urgent need of our Yellow Sea. β
The Standing Committee members all nodded, and everyone agreed on this.
Tang Yi then introduced Duan Hejun's experience, especially focusing on his previous work experience in the Sports Commission, in fact, everyone here probably knows Duan Hejun's resume better than Tang Yi.
After Tang Yi finished speaking, Cui Jingqun asked everyone to speak freely, and after a period of silence, Zhao Enhong first spoke to express his support for Tang Yi, and then the Standing Committee members either fiercely or calmly expressed their attitudes,
In fact, Tang Yi didn't want to provoke a head-on confrontation between the two camps soon, especially Wang Biao was still in the investigation stage, and Kong Liang from the Personnel Bureau was sharpening his knife again, now was really not a good time to provoke disputes, but Duan Hejun came to him several times, although he didn't ask for anything, Tang Yi also understood what he meant, and he really needed to add a deputy mayor recently, so Tang Yi reluctantly put Duan Hejun's work arrangement on the agenda.
Listening to the statements of the Standing Committee members present one by one, Tang Yi picked up the teacup, knowing that this matter would depend on Cui Jingqun's attitude in the end.
On the other side, Wang Lizhen was also drinking tea, when she heard that not only Zhao Enhong stood on Tang Yi's side with a clear banner, but Zhou Wenkai and Qian Youzhi also expressed their support for Tang Yi successively, Wang Lizhen's face gradually sank, she heard about it, Tang Yi has been talking with the Standing Committee members frequently in the past few days, and she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't want not only Zhao Enhong, who had wavered in the past, to be Tang Yi's vanguard, but also ignored his threatening gaze and looked at him fearlessly, as for Zhou Wenkai, although he vaguely expressed his support for Tang Yi, even lowered his head under her gaze, but if he could be persuaded by Tang Yi once, there would be a second and third time, and it would be very dangerous to go on like this.
glanced at Qian Youzhi, Cui Jingqun's face was also a little cold, and he picked up the teacup and drank water silently.
After Zhang Dingzhong and Zeng Qingming spoke, Tang Yi already had six votes.
Li Xiaohan, commander of the garrison area, did not say much, but said: "I support Mayor Tang's opinion." β
Seven votes, fourteen Standing Committee members, Tang Yi actually got half of the votes.
Wang Lizhen's face was very ugly, how long has Tang Yi been here? Unexpectedly overwhelmed them in the Standing Committee, today without exception, all the swing votes were taken by Tang Yi, and the remaining six Standing Committee members are his backbone and sworn friends, if it weren't for Huang Xiangdong taking precautions, Wang Wenzhuo took the position of organization minister early, Wang Lizhen thought about it, then there were only five votes for himself, Director Lin of the National People's Congress, Huang Xiangdong, Zhang Qiang, Minister of Propaganda and Lu Zhen, Minister of United Front Work.
Wang Lizhen glanced at Cui Jingqun again, seven against six, and Tang Yi is a clear carriage and horse, this issue must be passed, what Tang Yi is determined to do is not allowed to be obstructed by anyone, it can be seen by using the armed police to take down the Wang Biao, Cui Jingqun is seeking stability, I am afraid that he will not collide with Tang Yi head-on to offend him.
Wang Lizhen sighed softly, could it be that the Yellow Sea is really going to change?
Wang Wenzhuo, the new head of the Organization Department, cleared his throat and began to speak, the first sentence surprised Wang Lizhen, Wang Wenzhuo smiled: "I agree with Secretary Tang's opinion, and I also think that Comrade He Jun is very suitable to serve as this deputy mayor." β
When Wang Lizhen was stunned, Wang Wenzhuo had already continued: "However, who will be the deputy mayor does not have to be a word of our Standing Committee, right?" After listening to Secretary Huang's introduction, our organization department also held a meeting to study it, and some comrades put forward Feng Yuelun, secretary of the Fuping Municipal Party Committee, whose achievements in Fuping as secretary of the Yulun are obvious to all, and he is also a very suitable candidate, of course, compared with Director He Jun, each has its own advantages, and each has its own shortcomings, why don't we put forward two candidates, conduct extensive Mingzhu evaluation at all levels, and start a good surname competition by them? β
After Wang Wenzhuo finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank water, and Huang Xiangdong immediately continued: "I agree with the opinion of the Organization Department, and two outstanding comrades should compete for the deputy mayor and conduct an open boil evaluation, which is conducive to the construction of political open cooking and legalization, and I fully agree." β
Cui Jingqun smiled slightly, "This proposal is very good, I think it works, what do you say?" β
The Standing Committee members were silent for a while, and then they spoke in agreement, and after hearing Qian Youzhi's expression of support for Cui Jingqun, Tang Yi sighed softly, knowing that the general trend had gone, not to mention that he didn't want to make the relationship with Cui Jingqun too stiff now, seeing Cui Jingqun's gaze, Tang Yi smiled and agreed.
Frustration is frustration, thinking too much is useless, and the most important thing now is how to remedy it.
Huang Xiangdong's hand is very clever, although Feng Yuelun, secretary of the Fuping Municipal Party Committee, was brought up by him, but because of the big differences between his work ideas and Huang Xiangdong, he has been wavering, and even gradually moving closer to himself, and now he is nominated as a candidate for deputy mayor, and then he is stirred up by some people, no matter who will win the competition between him and Duan Hejun in the end, I am afraid that he will gradually distance himself from him, as for the enmity with Duan Hejun, and even hate himself.
The nomination of the two candidates for the deputy mayor was quickly passed, to Tang Yi's surprise was that Wang Wenzhuo once again put forward the proposal of the director of the Finance Bureau, and the nominee was still Li Yang, the mayor's assistant who was beaten into the cold palace by Tang Yi, Wang Wenzhuo's reason is very sufficient, and the previous shelving of the post of director of the Finance Bureau was to make way for Shenbo, and now the work of Shenbo has been successfully completed, and the position of director of the Finance Bureau has been vacant for several months and cannot be left vacant.
When Cui Jingqun proposed to vote, Zhou Wenkai also raised his hand hesitantly, Qian Youzhi glanced at Tang Yi, although he had no expression, but Tang Yi could understand that he was more or less to blame himself, because Duan Hejun's problem was suppressed by others, and because Cui Jingqun was disgusted by the carriage and horses, which made Li Yang's appointment pass easily.
β¦β¦
Sitting on the large black swivel chair in the office, Tang Yi glanced at a letter in his hand, which was the receipt of the registration for the Master of Public Administration of the School of Public Administration of Huaxia University.
Tang Yi put down the letter in his hand and lit a cigarette, the recent confrontation has actually been frustrated one after another, what if he won the Wang Biao? There is one more Standing Committee member over there, and it is a heavyweight Standing Committee, and he needs to report to the Organization Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
Is it not going well? Tang Yi took another deep puff of his cigarette. immediately picked up the phone and was about to dial Feng Yuelun to have a good talk with him, but after thinking about it, he put it down again.
He hoped that Feng Yuelun could take the initiative to contact him, and the same phone call, whether he would call Feng Yuelun or Feng Yuelun himself, the meaning was completely different, especially now that he seemed to be at a disadvantage, the more he had to stabilize his position.
The melodious music of the mobile phone sounded, the blue screen mobile phone with sixteen chords had been launched, and Tang Yi had changed to a new mobile phone early.
Looking at the number, Tang Yi answered it and said with a smile: "It's been a few days since I arrived in the Yellow Sea, why did I call?" β
It was Chen Ke, who already knew that Chen Ke had arrived in the Yellow Sea when he talked to Chen Fangyuan on the phone, but Chen Ke hadn't contacted him in the past few days, Tang Yi was in a low mood, and he didn't have the heart to look for her.
Chen Ke sighed softly, "Brother, it's not going well lately, right?" β
Tang Yi smiled: "What did Lao Chen say? "The heart said that Chen Fangyuan is also powerful, and if he has nothing to do in front of him, he actually knows everything.
"No, even if he doesn't say it, I can feel it."
Tang Yi smiled and didn't squeak.
"Brother, my new office is renovated, do you have time? Come and see it in the evening. Chen Ke's voice was very gentle, which reminded Tang Yi of her.
"Okay, I'll go over in the evening." Tang Yi agreed.
Perhaps because of the mood, time seemed to pass very slowly, and when the quartz clock on the wall sounded pleasant music, Tang Yi slowly put down the pen that reviewed the documents.
Out of the office, Cai Ming hurriedly stood up in the secretary's room, ready to help Tang Yi pack up the documents as usual, Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go together." β
Cai Ming followed Tang Yi's side, took the bag in Tang Yi's hand as he walked, hesitated, and whispered: "Mayor Enhong doesn't seem to be in a good mood recently, and he slapped the table very out of shape when he held a meeting at the Planning Bureau in the afternoon. β
Tang Yi nodded slightly, he also found out that Zhao Enhong had been chattering for the past few days, and he was talking to himself yesterday, and two inexplicable words came out, which made him stunned for a while.
Cai Ming looked around, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Secretary Lizhen talked to him a few times." β
Tang Yi frowned slightly and nodded, at this time the elevator arrived, Tang Yi stepped into the elevator, Cai Ming followed up, and said no more.
β¦β¦
Chiayi Law Firm is located on Haiyang Avenue, the most prosperous street in the Yellow Sea, in a nineteen-story office building, occupying an entire floor.
When you get out of the elevator on the twelfth floor, you can see the reception desk and the copper-colored metal plaque inlaid on the wall, "Huanghai Chiayi Law Firm", which has not yet opened, and there is no one at the reception desk.
Tang Yi walked in, the glass door automatically parted to both sides, and on both sides of the corridor, there were open format office rooms, and there were also small offices with metal plaques embedded on the doors. The entire floor was only the sound of Tang Yi's footsteps.
The door of the innermost office was opened, Chen Ke walked out with a smile, she was wearing a white professional suit, dignified and very feminine, a round calf wrapped in flesh-colored stockings under the skirt, and small blue high-heeled crystal sandals supporting a charming figure.
"Here, this is my office!" Chen Ke beckoned to Tang Yi, Tang Yi smiled, took two quick steps, and under Chen Ke's naughty gesture of please, Tang Yi walked into her office.
The afterglow shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, plating a faint layer of gold on the entire office, which is very dreamy.
Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "It's very modern, not bad." β
Chen Ke took Tang Yi's hand, came to the landing curtain, and said with a grin: "Accompany me to see the scenery." At this moment, she seems to have become a bright girl in the past.
After standing for a while, Chen Ke looked left and right, and then pushed the couch against the wall with great effort, Tang Yi was funny, and went over to help the handle, the two pushed the couch to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down side by side, and looked at the aftertaste, Chen Ke slowly leaned on Tang Yi's shoulder, and said, "I'm coming to the Yellow Sea, are you happy?" β
Tang Yi nodded silently.
After a while, Chen Ke asked softly: "Brother, it's okay to talk to me, or you scold them a few words, vent, don't be so unhappy." β
Tang Yi stretched out his arm, gently hugged her shoulder, and smiled: "Don't talk about this, you, naΓ―ve?" β
Chen Ke smiled lightly: "What's not naΓ―ve, scold a few words and vent, it's good for your body." β
Tang Yi shook his head.
Both of them stopped talking, silently looking at the scenery outside the window and thinking about their own thoughts, until Tang Yi's mobile phone rang, Tang Yi looked at the number, it was Zeng Qingming, connected, said a few words, sighed softly, and hung up the phone.
Chen Ke slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "If you have something, go and get busy, I will be busy preparing for the opening of the business these days, and I will look for you when I am busy for a while." β
Tang Yi nodded, stood up, Chen Ke also stood up, suddenly hugged Tang Yi tightly, and bit Tang Yi the neck, Tang Yi didn't move, let her bite hard, turned into a slow kiss, looked down at Chen Ke, she was already in tears.
Tang Yi silently hugged her and didn't move for a long time.
After a while, Chen Ke gently pushed him away and said, "Go quickly." β
Tang Yi stood for a while, then slowly turned around and walked out.
When I came downstairs and got into the taxi, the pleasant bird cry on the mobile phone rang, and a text message came, Tang Yi took it out and looked at it, it was Chen Ke, "Come on!" β
Although there were only two words, Tang Yi's spirit was lifted, and he looked back at the towering building that was gradually moving away, and slowly turned his head after a while.
β¦β¦
The next morning, Tang Yi reviewed a few documents, stopped writing and thought about it, then pressed the line in the secretary's room and said, "If you look for Feng Yuelun, you will say that I want to see him." β
Cai Ming agreed, Tang Yi took the line, Tang Yi was very relieved about Cai Ming's ability to do things, what to say, what not to say, how to handle it, comprehend his intention to find Feng Yuelun, Tang Yi fully believed that Cai Ming would do it properly.
As soon as he picked up a document, the office door creaked open by Cai Ming, almost angry, Cai Ming rushed in, but when he saw Tang Yi frowning, he immediately woke up a little, hurriedly turned around and closed the door, and gasped for a while, as if squeezing out of his throat, "Enhong, Deputy Mayor Enhong has an accident, he, he died!" β
"What? What to say? Tang Yi's first reaction was to believe it.
"Really, it was a call from Director Zhang Dingzhong, his body was found in an apartment in Meihua Xiyuan this morning, and the forensic doctor preliminarily determined that it was a cerebral hemorrhage and died of natural causes!"
Tang Yi was stunned, but still asked, "Can you be sure?" β
Cai Ming nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Zhang Ju said, wait for your call, this news is now blocked by him, and the municipal party committee doesn't know at all." β
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at his phone, and found that it was turned off.
Tang Yi immediately said: "Inform him, follow the normal procedure, and report to whoever you should report." β
Cai Ming nodded, and hurriedly went out to make a phone call.
Tang Yi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and a living person just left? This is really unbelievable, just yesterday, I was still in the corridor to greet him, and I wanted to talk to him well, why did we say goodbye yesterday?
Tang Yi was stunned for a while, then picked up the mobile phone, opened it, dialed it to Zhang Dingzhong, began to occupy the line, dialed a few times before dialing, heard Tang Yi's voice, Zhang Dingzhong sighed, "Alas, Enhong just left, the future Standing Committee ......"
Tang Yi suddenly felt a little disgusted with Zhang Dingzhong in his heart, at this moment, Zhang Dingzhong only thought of the contrast of political forces in the Yellow Sea, and he didn't feel anything about the passing of a living person, just a few days ago, he was a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side on the Standing Committee!
Of course, Tang Yi quickly suppressed his disgust, everyone has their own perspective on the problem, and they can't replace reason with emotion, not to mention Zhang Dingzhong, even if he is himself, what feelings do he have with Zhao Enhong? But I don't know why, hearing his bad news, Tang Yi felt compassion in his heart.
"Dingzhong, is it really a normal death?" Tang Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Well, cerebral hemorrhage, natural death." Zhang Dingzhong's answer was very affirmative.
Tang Yi sighed softly.
Zhang Dingzhong continued: "The time of death of Mayor Enhong was preliminarily determined to be between one and two o'clock in the morning, and in the morning, the owner of the apartment came home and found his body and reported it. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "The owner of the apartment is a young woman with a surname, an employee of the Finance Bureau, named Lin Fen." β
Tang Yi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he let out a sigh for a long time, and then hung up the phone.
β¦β¦
Vice Mayor Zhao Enhong died suddenly in the home of a young and beautiful woman, and the news quickly spread throughout the Huanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe Compound, and the gossip news was the most stimulating and talked about.
On the morning of Zhao Enhong's death, an emergency standing committee was convened, at which Cui Jingqun gave instructions: The first is to block rumors and not cause a bad influence in society. The second point is to ask the criminal investigation department to seriously investigate the cause of Mayor Enhong's death and not let go of any suspicions.
Cui Jingqun's face was ugly, and when such an incident happened, he, the number one, had to explain to the provincial party committee.
Probably the happiest person at the meeting was Wang Lizhen, Tang Yi's right-hand arm was broken for no reason, and Zhao Enhong passed away in this disgraceful way, which made Wang Lizhen gloat.
The forensic doctor of the Municipal Bureau and the famous doctors of the People's Hospital formed an expert group, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Enhong did die of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, as for why Zhao Enhong died in Lin Fen's house, the version that prevailed in the municipal party committee compound was naturally that the peony flower died, and it was also rumored that Zhao Enhong was financially unclear, and he lost public funds in order to support his mistress, and the amount was not small.
It's no wonder that there are such rumors in the market, after Zhao Enhong's death, except for the first day of collective condolences, almost no leaders of the municipal party committee have visited his door, as if avoiding the plague.
β¦β¦
Cai Ming gently pushed open the door of the mayor's office, Tang Yi was on the phone, and when he saw Cai Ming coming in, he said a few words briefly and hung up the phone.
Cai Ming came for Feng Yuelun, since that day Mayor Tang said that he wanted to meet Feng Yuelun, and then Vice Mayor Zhao had an accident, Mayor Tang has not mentioned this stubble again, of course Cai Ming has to remind Mayor Tang, because Cai Ming also knows why the mayor wants to see Feng Yuelun.
As soon as he heard Cai Ming say the name Feng Yuelun, Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this." As he spoke, he stood up, "Let's go, come with me, and go to Mayor Enhong's house to have a look." β
Cai Ming was slightly stunned and asked in surprise: "Go to Vice Mayor Zhao's house?" β
Tang Yi said indifferently: "What, it's Longtan Tiger's Den, can't you go?" β
"Of course not." Cai Ming hurriedly replied, hesitated again, and said cautiously: "Isn't Deputy Secretary-General Yu Liang responsible for dealing with the aftermath recently?" With him here, you still don't feel at ease? β
Tang Yi glanced at Cai Ming deeply, of course he understood what Cai Ming meant, patted Cai Ming on the shoulder, and sighed softly, "You don't understand, you don't understand......"
Repeating two sentences, you don't understand, Tang Yi has already picked up his bag and walked out.
Looking at Mayor Tang's slightly depressed back, Cai Ming suddenly felt that he understood a little, Mayor Tang was saying, people take tea and cool, it won't work with me! is also saying that no matter what problems Mayor Zhao has, it will not prevent him from being dedicated to Mayor Zhao's family?
