Chapter 41: The Party
When Tang Yi was reviewing the documents, he received a call from Director Zhou, "Secretary Tang, I have such an idea, how about our county party committee office hold a Spring Festival party attended by relatives from various departments this year?" β
Director Zhou is now the director of the county party committee office, and the Standing Committee came to thank Tang Yi on the night of its approval, of course Tang Yi didn't forget to wake him up to thank Secretary Tao more, but the officialdom was secretive, and it was impossible for Director Zhou and Secretary Tao to make it clear in front of each other, how could Director Zhou think that he was promoted by himself.
However, Tang Yi is also a little annoyed by Director Zhou's cautious energy, the big and small affairs of the county party committee, he will always call to listen to his own opinions before reporting to Secretary Yao, but think about it again, he is new to the city, and he can't figure out the depth of the water, so he naturally expects that he can give him a few words, but do you need to listen to your own opinions when you have a party?
Spring Festival party? Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at the calendar, yes, before I knew it, there was still more than half a month to celebrate the New Year, and my heart was even hotter, the New Year, Qi Jie should come back.
"Secretary Tang, what do you think?" Director Zhou was still waiting for Tang Yi's opinion, but he didn't hear anything for a long time.
Tang Yi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, inviting the relatives of employees in various departments to hold a party, you can get the understanding and support of the relatives of employees on the office work, the office work is directly for the leadership of the service, communication up and down, contact all directions, the work is specific and complicated." Employees usually say that there is no law on board and lodging, and they are often busier during holidays, and they should relax during the New Year. β
Director Zhou said with a smile again; "Thank you for your support, then I'll wait for the leaders to come and guide."
Tang Yi said with a smile; "I have a share, huh? Oh well, I'll attend on time. β
Tang Yi originally thought that he was lonely during the New Year, it was better to go to the lively and lively, but what he didn't expect was that in the next few days, many departments called to invite him to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of his department, it turned out that this Spring Festival, all departments, each unit has its own program, which level of leadership can be invited also represents the faΓ§ade of the department's leaders, and other Tang Yi will refuse, but Minister Jiao of the Organization Department said that Tang Yi should be invited to participate, Tang Yi finally only smiled: "Who doesn't want to show their faces in the Spring Festival Gala of the party and the masses?" I think this opportunity should be given to Secretary Tao. β
Minister Jiao was a little surprised when he heard this, and then understood that Tang Yi might want to ease the abnormal atmosphere among the Standing Committee, these things Tang Yi often talked about when he held meetings was the issue of unity, Minister Jiao understood that it is normal for the Standing Committee to form small circles and divide into small groups, but if it affects the normal operation of the entire team, it will affect the organization's view of the entire team members, and Secretary Tang also gave himself the opportunity to show Secretary Tao that he was okay.
Li An also invited Tang Yi to participate in the Spring Festival party jointly organized by China Merchants Bureau, Construction Bureau, Culture and Sports Bureau, and Education Bureau, Tang Yi refused, but patted Li Ang on the shoulder and said: "Recently, I have been very attentive, not bad." Li An showed a touched look on his face, but he didn't say much, he has been focusing on his work recently, and he is holding back a lot of energy in his heart.
In the first few days of the party, Director Zhou called again, saying that he wanted Tang Yi to be psychologically prepared, and at that time, in order to set off the atmosphere, Secretary Tang would be invited to perform on stage, and laughed and said that it would be okay to just say a few words.
Tang Yi smiled: "Aren't you chasing ducks to the shelves?" The party committee office is a heavyweight department, the secretary's office, the general office, the political research office, the confidential section, the letters and visits bureau and other directly subordinate or centralized units undertake most of the work of the county party committee, and are the executors of the work of the party committee. Of course, I have to leave a good impression on them, since I have to participate in the competition, I have to make an appearance of enjoying with the people, and if I can't be festive, I will be scolded behind my back.
When I got home in the evening, eating the food cooked by Sister Lan, Tang Yi boasted: "The craftsmanship is getting better." It was rare to get Tang Yi's praise, Sister Lan smiled and said, "Isn't it that Secretary Tang teaches well?" β
Sister Lan and Bao'er have moved to the first floor, but they will still eat with Tang Yi during meal time, and occasionally Sister Lan will rely on Tang Yi to watch a few TV series here, who said that there is only a twelve-inch black and white TV downstairs.
Today, Sister Lan wanted to watch another episode of "Grass by the Green River", and her eyes rolled and she had an idea, and said to Bao'er: "Show Uncle Tang the newly learned dance today." β
Bao'er really raised one little hand high, one little hand was inserted in her waist, her little body turned in a circle, and she sang childishly: "Our motherland is a garden......"
Tang Yi laughed loudly, laughed and laughed, and his heart suddenly became sour, he didn't like this feeling, he didn't like her to suddenly become an ignorant child, singing and dancing to please herself, although, she was very cute.
Sighing, Tang Yi originally thought that he had adapted to his new identity in front of Bao'er, but there were some things, some people, how could they forget it.
"Bao'er, stop singing." Tang Yi took Bao'er's hand to prevent her from jumping, but saw Bao'er blinking her big dark eyes and asked herself, "Is Bao'er dancing bad?" β
Tang Yi smiled: "No, it's my uncle who is tired." He gently shook Bao'er's little hand, got up and went into the bathroom.
β¦β¦ The night in Yanshan came very early, less than five o'clock, it was already dark, Tang Yi took Bao'er's hand, walked along the sidewalk of Weiguo Road, and could already see the neon signs in front of him.
When Tang Yi began to hear Director Zhou say that the venue of the party was set in the hazy night, it was also a little incredible, it stands to reason that Director Zhou is not such an imprudent person, how much does it cost to hold a party in the hazy night? He wants to be taken off before his director's ass is hot?
Later, I learned that the night hazy was just a proper charge for the venue fee, and as for the melon and fruit dim sum party committee office, it seemed that Yao Xiaohong was quite good at winning people over, but the loss of a night's income could make the heads of the county party committee office happy, and in the long run, these heads and brains were potential customers.
Tang Yi took Bao'er with him was also helpless, since he didn't watch her dance that day, Bao'er saw that she was wronged, lowered her head and didn't speak, and later asked Sister Lan, only to know that Bao'er thought carefully that she didn't like her and was sad.
Tang Yi is distressed, today's party hurriedly brought her, seeing Bao'er being held by her hand and smiling happily, jumping up and down when walking, Tang Yi's heart suddenly brightened.
Director Zhou has been waiting at the door, just to wait for Tang Yi, and when he saw Bao'er, he smiled and said, "Secretary Tang, she is Bao'er's classmate in the same class as Xiaoyun, it's so cute." β
Bao'er bowed obediently: "Uncle Zhou is good." Director Zhou smiled and patted her little head, Tang Yi frowned slightly, but did not speak.
The layout has not changed much in the hazy night, but the lights are bright, no longer the faint night lights of the past, and the whole dance hall is like daytime.
Yao Xiaohong saw Tang Yi from afar, only blinked secretly, and did not come over to say hello, but Tang Yi sighed in her heart, she received a call from Qi Jie two days ago, but she did not come back for the New Year.
The heads of all departments came over to greet Tang Yi, but as for those ordinary staff, they would not come up to speak, which would only look abrupt.
Director Zhou and Tang Yi chose a sofa to sit on, there were a few naughty children frolicking not far away, Xiaoyun was also inside, seeing Bao'er, Xiaoyun ran over and invited Bao'er to play together, but Bao'er snuggled in Tang Yi's arms, her little head shook like a rattle, and said, "I want to accompany Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang will be scared alone." Xiaoyun pouted and walked away, but Tang Yi was stunned, glanced at Bao'er quietly, and did not speak.
Director Zhou said with a smile: "Secretary Tang and Bao'er are closer than their own father and daughter, they are really envious of others!" Look at that girl in my family, how can she be so sensible? He never said to sit quietly with his father. β
Tang Yi smiled silently, but his hand grabbed Bao'er's little hand.
When Director Zhou gave the opening speech, Tang Yi found that the county station had sent someone, a young man with a camera standing in the corner, and a young girl next to him, who should be a news reporter.
Tang Yi smiled, Director Zhou's mind was lively, and he knew that he could use all the public opinion that could be used to package himself, no wonder he had to prepare the show by himself, it turned out to be a show.
"Singing and singing farewell to the old year, the spring breeze proudly welcomes the new year. In order to enrich the amateur cultural life of the cadres and workers of the Party Committee Office, and create a good working atmosphere that is serious, tense, united and lively, the Office of the Yanshan County Party Committee held the "Sing New Songs of Society and Build a Beautiful Home Together" - the 1992 Party Committee Office New Year Party! β¦β¦β
Listening to Director Zhou's subdued reading of the opening speech, Tang Yi's mind was a little dazed, and he always felt that something had not been handled properly, Bao'er whispered: "Uncle, are you okay with Bao'er in the playground during the winter vacation?" She heard classmates who had traveled to big cities talk about the fun of playgrounds, and she was very envious.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Cheng." Then he patted his head, no wonder he always felt that something was in his heart, didn't he? Chen Ke should also be on winter vacation, I haven't seen her for half a year, and I really miss her, but I don't have anything to do to go to Chenjiatuo, so let's call and say hello in a few days.
The applause from the audience woke Tang Yi up, and Director Zhou read out the opening speech and said, "Next, please Secretary Tang to say a few words to us." The hall erupted in warm applause again, Tang Yi stood up, smiled and gestured to suppress the applause of the audience, and said: "Comrades, what we are holding today is a gala, not the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, I won't say it, today I abstain, all the comrades present are the real protagonists." β
I was already drowsy after listening to Director Zhou's tirade, and I thought that I would have to listen to the party secretary for more than ten minutes, but I didn't expect Secretary Tang to be clean and neat, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause again, but it was much more heartfelt than just now.
The female reporter of the TV station over there looked at the young secretary in amazement, as if she had discovered a new world, turned her head, and whispered to the photographer next to her.
Director Zhou announced the start of the party, the lights slowly went out, but the lights were flashing on the stage, and the opening scene was the song of Miss Sasha, the pillar of the hazy night, and then the cadres and workers of the counterpart agencies of the Party Committee Office arranged the programs themselves.
Seeing the highlights of the show, Tang Yi grabbed a pair of Bao'er's little hands from time to time and applauded gently, Bao'er giggled and applauded along with Tang Yi's movements. Director Zhou picked up the teacup and took a few sips, glanced at Tang Yi a few times, and said, "Today, the Letters and Visits Bureau received several anonymous letters, which are aimed at Comrade Li An of China Merchants Bureau. β
Tang Yileng paused, frowned, and said, "Why didn't I know about this?" β
Director Zhou said: "I temporarily suppressed it and prepared to deal with it after the New Year." β
Tang Yi nodded slightly, and didn't ask about the content of Director Zhou's letter, Director Zhou would say it himself.
"Actually, I think it's also some trumped-up charges, saying that Comrade Li An had an imdecent style when he received the person in charge of Chenxin Group, and went in and out of Yanqing's high-end entertainment venues with him," Speaking of this, Director Zhou smiled bitterly, "It's difficult to say that you want to do something practical?" Even if the report letter is true, it is also Comrade Li An's unacceptable thing to do in order to attract investment, and how many of those businessmen in the south are very regular? If we don't entertain well, it's our dereliction of duty, let's entertain well, it will attract gossip again, and it's really difficult to do some work. β
Tang Yi waved his hand: "I can't say that, no matter what, the party name can't be lost, and I can't be poked in the backbone by the people, of course, I still believe in Comrade Li An, but the matter must be investigated clearly and give the masses a satisfactory explanation." β
Director Zhou nodded slightly and said with a smile: "That's right, I will urge the Letters and Visits Bureau to follow up after the New Year." β
Tang Yien sighed, but there was a little fire in his heart, thinking that Ang Li was even easy to bully? Why is it endless?
After a while, Director Zhou smiled and said, "Secretary Tang, it's time for you to come to the next show." β
Everything was arranged, and sure enough, after the curtain call of the two staff members who said cross talk on stage, Miss Sasha, who presided over the party, took the microphone and said on stage in a high-pitched soprano: "Next, please ask Secretary Tang to perform a show for everyone, everyone said, okay?" β
The audience applauded, everyone knew that Secretary Tang must have agreed early, otherwise the host would dare to squeeze Secretary Tang casually? That's why everyone applauded and had fun.
Tang Yi didn't shirk either, smiled and pulled Bao'er on the stage, took out a harmonica from his pocket, and stood aside, Sasha was a little puzzled, Bao'er stretched out her little hand and asked her for the microphone: "Beautiful sister, give me the microphone." β
Sasha was very happy, and said that this kid was really pleasant to speak, and seeing Secretary Tang smiling and nodding, he smiled and handed the microphone to Bao'er.
Bao'er held the microphone in both hands, blew and blew, and fed twice, the crisp children's voice was amplified to make it more pleasant to the ear, and the audience laughed when they saw Bao'er's cute movements.
Bao'er took the microphone and said: "Next, I will sing a bath song to everyone, singer, Zhuo Bao'er, accompaniment, Secretary Tang." β
Hearing Secretary Tang's three words popping out of the children's mouths, everyone leaned back and laughed even more.
Tang Yi gently played the harmonica, the gang hurriedly put away their smiles, made a deaf listening, and Bao'er sang loudly: "Lulalulula, lula, I love to bathe the turtle and fall to the ......"
The bath song is also an original song of Tang Yi and Bao'er in this era.
Listening to Bao'er's crisp children's voice, watching her cute movements, and accompanied by Secretary Tang, isn't that fun? The audience applauded, the applause shook the sky, and after Bao'er finished singing, the audience shouted: "Come on!" "One more!"
Tang Yi waved his hand and pulled Bao'er off the stage, but Bao'er didn't forget to bow to the audience, which caused a burst of laughter.
Returning to his seat, Director Zhou said with emotion; "Secretary Tang, Bao'er, this little girl is amazing, if you go to the showbiz, you will be a child star."
Tang Yien sighed, glanced at Bao'er who was snuggled up to him, and gently touched her head.
A girl's voice came from the side: "Secretary Tang, hello." β
Tang Yi turned around and saw that it was the handsome girl from the county TV station, stretched out his hand to him, and hurriedly got up to shake hands and said, "Hello." Although the reporter at that time was not an uncrowned king, Tang Yi would never offend anyone for no reason, let alone put on a boring show.
"I am Mai Qiong of the county TV station, and I am responsible for the interview work of the Spring Festival Gala held by the party committee."
Tang Yi nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything I can help with?" Pointing to the couch opposite, "Sit down, sit down." As he spoke, he sat down first.
After reporter Mai sat down, he looked at Bao'er curiously and asked, "Secretary Tang, is this your daughter?" β
Tang Yi frowned, and Director Zhou intercepted the words: "Reporter Mai, do you think our party is a success?" Director Zhou had a smile on his face, but he said in his heart that the little girl's family was abrupt when she first entered the society, who did Secretary Tang know about you? Dare to ask personal questions?
Reporter Mai smiled briskly: "It's a success, especially this little girl." Pointing to Bao'er, "It's called Bao'er, it's so cute." β
As he spoke, he asked Bao'er: "Bao'er?" Do you want to be a young actor? My sister can introduce you to the director. β
Tang Yi frowned, but he didn't have a good impression of the entertainment industry, the mainland has unspoken rules, Hong Kong has nude photos, there are underworld rules, Taiwan has rich dinner fees, and the Chinese entertainment industry can be said to be full of miasma.
Bao'er shook her head: "I don't want to." β
Mak reporter Daqi asked, "Why?" "I've never heard of a kid who doesn't want to be a movie star.
Bao'er said: "No why. Turning his head and ignoring her, he didn't seem to have a good impression of Reporter Mai, and when he went home, Tang Yi asked to know that Bao'er thought that the pimples on Reporter Mai's face were ugly, and he teased Tang Yi so much that Bao'er's little face praised her cuteness, which made Bao'er stare at her for the first time and say that her uncle was a bad person.
Reporter Mai was bored, and it was to be said, Tang Yi looked at his watch and said to Director Zhou: "How many more programs are there?" "If you are in officialdom, the subconscious meaning is that the conversation with reporter Mai has ended, but unfortunately reporter Mai is not a person in officialdom.
Reporter Mai still said to Tang Yi uninterestingly; "Secretary Tang, have you ever thought about letting Baoer develop in the entertainment industry? I have a few friends in Yanjing, and I also know Director Zhang, so I think this kid must have a future. β
Director Zhou frowned, and said in his heart that the TV station had sent such an eldest sister, who really wanted to die, and looked around the corner, and saw that the photographer was still there, beckoning to him, but the photographer didn't look here.
"Secretary Tang, although I don't dare to guarantee that Bao'er will definitely become popular, but if I don't try, I won't succeed, just say me, I am a provincial TV station to train on the county station, my profession is a text reporter, and I am not used to going around with a microphone to interview, but after a month or two, I like this job very much, I think I have done quite well."
Hearing Reporter Mai's words, Director Zhou suddenly felt that he dared to come down from the provincial stage, and he wondered how he had to be afraid of the county leaders.
Tang Yi smiled and said: "Comrade Mai Qiong, a qualified reporter should be a camera himself, which can capture any news subject, so let me ask you, what did you see from ten minutes ago?" Did you hear the heartfelt speech of the staff of the logistics department on the stage just now? Are you impressed? You haven't been touched yourself, so why can you write words that move people? That's how you've always caught the news? β
In the county station, because she is a temporary position in the provincial station, and she has a great backer in the provincial station, no one will have the same knowledge as her, which also makes her a little self-righteous, but she was severely criticized by a person who is not a few years older than herself, and in addition to being ashamed, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her is not something she can treat casually.
Tang Yi said indifferently: "Reporter Mai, although we have different division of labor, I think the most important thing is to do our own work." β
Reporter Mai stood up with a red face, didn't say a word, and walked towards the photographer with hatred.
Director Zhou looked at her back and frowned, "This reporter Mai is not very competent in his work, is he giving advice to the county station?" β
Tang Yi smiled: "Young people, there will always be some shortcomings, if there are any, they will be changed, and if they are not, they will be encouraged." β
