When Lian Hongjun heard Tang Yi report to his home, he was busy and politely greeting, Tang Yi asked with concern: "Director Lian, is Miaoxiang Spring's tax evasion very serious?" ”

Even the Red Army seemed to have been prepared, sighed and said: "Yes, there are more enterprises in Anton, and there are more problems of all kinds, especially in paying taxes, so many enterprises, if they all learn from Miaoxiang Spring, it will cause huge losses to the country, Secretary Tang, indeed, Miaoxiang Spring has not yet reached the penalty standard of a fine of one million, I am also to show other enterprises, deter them, so that they can ponder before tax evasion, whether it is worth it, to put it bluntly, it is to kill chickens and set an example." ”

Lian Hongjun chuckled as he spoke, and said, "So, I still want to ask Secretary Tang to support my work." ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "I think, no matter what the starting point is, as a law enforcement department, we must first act in accordance with the law, take the laws and regulations as the criterion, and can't artificially increase the punishment for the convenience of work. ”

There was silence on the microphone for a while, and Lian Hongjun immediately sighed: "Maybe you're right, but the report about Miaoxiang Mountain Spring has already been typed, and it's not up to me to call the shots." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "That's no way, wait for the opinion of the provincial bureau." ”

Hung up the phone, Tang Yi lit a cigarette, thought silently for a while, pushed to the provincial bureau, and took the initiative to call, but the director refused to sell face at all.

Tang Yi frowned and thought for a while, took out a notebook from his bag and looked through it, and found Sister Ma's phone, remembering that Sister Ma's lover was the leader of the Provincial State Taxation Bureau, and it seemed that he was in charge of national taxation at that time, and he had the hope of becoming a leader in national taxation.

"Sorry, the number you dialed doesn't exist."

Tang Yi dialed twice in a row before he was sure that he hadn't dialed the wrong number.

Tang Yi flipped through the notebook, found the switchboard number of the provincial hospital, wanted to call over, but stopped again, and he didn't know which department Sister Ma was in now, not to mention that there were many cadres in the provincial hospital, and the operator lady didn't know Sister Ma, so she said that looking for her with such fanfare didn't seem to be good.

After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Chen Ke's phone, as for whether he really felt that it was not good to call the provincial hospital directly, only God knows.

"Secretary Tang, what are you doing?" With a crisp and pleasant voice, Chen Ke seemed to recognize the phone number of Tang Yi's office.

Although Tang Yi behaved as cordial as before when talking to Chen Ke on the phone that night, Tang Yi knew in his heart that he and Chen Ke seemed to be getting more and more estranged.

"Well, I beg you for help with something, the phone number in Sister Ma's office seems to have changed, you know the new number, right?" Tang Yi suddenly found that his tone was surprisingly polite, as if he was begging a stranger for help.

Chen Ke was a little concerned: "The matter of the procuratorial system? ”

Tang Yi said: "No, I want to talk to Sister Ma's lover." ”

Chen Ke sighed, thought for a while and said, "In this way, I just happened to go to see Sister Ma and brother-in-law on Saturday, why don't you go together?" ”

Tang Yi was moved, but immediately knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he said, "I'm in a hurry, why don't you go together tomorrow?" "With Chen Ke here, of course, it is more convenient to speak, and it sounds like Chen Ke and Sister Ma's lover are also very familiar.

Chen Ke sighed: "Secretary Tang, tomorrow is Saturday!" ”

Tang Yi sighed, looked at the calendar, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Okay, where do you live now?" Tomorrow morning, call the army to pick you up. ”

"At eight o'clock, see you in front of the Xinhua Hotel, I'll take you." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Tang Yi to squeak, which made Tang Yi depressed for a while, this little girl has more and more ideas for herself.

……

After eating in the cafeteria in the evening, Tang Yi went home, made a cup of tea, picked up the newspaper and read it, there is no Sister Lan who collects newspapers every day, sometimes she comes back at night, but the newspaper box next to the courtyard gate is empty, which makes Tang Yi sigh, the high-end community is still like this, and the quality of a few Chinese people really needs to be improved.

Jingle bell, the phone rang suddenly, Tang Yi took it, "Hey, hello." ”

"Hey, who are you? What about Xiaofeng? The voice was slightly familiar, Tang Yi was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Huang Gong?" It's you, right? ”

"Yes, you, you are?" Huang Jie's voice was a little puzzled.

Tang Yi tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said slowly: "I'm Tang Yi, Mayor Xiaofeng is studying in Yanjing, your phone number has been transferred to me, where are you?" Safe or not? "Solve Huang Jie's doubts, and then the most important thing is to know Huang Jie's current situation.

"Ah, Secretary Tang, hello, I'm in our embassy, I'm afraid that Xiaofeng will be in a hurry, so I called to report safety, you, do you have Xiaofeng's contact information?"

Although Tang Yi had thousands of questions, at this time, the reunion of the natural family husband and wife was too big, and he hurriedly told Huang Jie the contact number of Mayor Xiaofeng in Yanjing.

Huang Jie said with a smile before hanging up the phone: "If you have any questions, ask your aunt, she knows." ”

Aunt? Tang Yi's mind flashed, and he already knew that it must be his mother, and then smiled bitterly, how did he become an aunt?

Huang Jie hung up the phone in a hurry, naturally he went to report his safety to Mayor Xiaofeng, Tang Yi also dialed Xiao Jinhua's phone, his mother's soft voice sounded, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Mom, Huang Gong is not a few years younger than you, how can you ask people to call you aunt?" ”

Xiao Jinhua said with some annoyance: "What about it, I talked to him on the phone, just after my aunt and aunt, my voice is very ugly, is it very old?" ”

Tang Yi hurriedly sent the little pony's fart: "How can it be, my mother's voice is more beautiful than my little sister's, just like a yellow warbler singing." ”

Xiao Jinhua took a sip of Tang Yi: "Silly boy, I can't shoot sycophants, my mother is still a little self-aware, and she can't compare to your little wife!" ”

After laughing for a while, Tang Yi asked about the past, it turned out that Xiao Jinhua heard that Tang Yi had a friend missing in Uwanda, so he sent his cronies to contact the local warlord through a French arms dealer, and offered a reward of 1 million US dollars to find Huang Jie.

Huang Jie was arrested by an armed gang, the reason was that PetroChina was about to withdraw from Uwanda, because there was no trivial work, Huang Jie was a little bored, drank more wine one night, and went to an underground casino in the capital of Uwanda to open his eyes, which coincided with the armed gang ransacking the casino, and Huang Jie was also arrested.

Huang Jie was in a mess at that time, the first thought was to conceal his identity, otherwise it would have an impact on himself and the image of the country, and his first reaction was to open his mouth and say that he was in a hurry, pretending to be himself, and the armed gang contacted the embassy and asked for ransom, and then after several encirclements and anti-encirclement and suppression, the gang was infighting, and when Huang Jie saw that his life was threatened, it was too late to show his identity in a hurry, and no one could understand what he said, the armed gang was broken up, and three or four militants took him hostage to hide in the province. If it weren't for the warlords contacted by my mother's cronies who posted notices and offered rewards everywhere in the area under his control, and it happened that those militants hid in the area, I was afraid that Huang Jie would not only die in a foreign land, but also die in an unknown way, and his closest relatives would not know why he disappeared and where he was.

Tang Yi sighed when he heard it, and sighed: "Human life is like grass in troubled times, it's really true. ”

Xiao Jinhua chuckled: "Here it is again, you, it's really boring to chat with you, or Qi Jie coaxes me to be happy." ”

Tang Yi smiled, the little goblin seemed to know more and more how to coax his mother.

Xiao Jinhua said: "Even in troubled times, my precious son is as noble as an emperor wherever he goes." ”

Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, but what my mother said was also true, the wars of some small African countries do have the shadow of Western consortia in them, and even some regimes are supported by Western conglomerates, and money plays an unimaginable influence in African politics.

Tang Yi wanted to ask his mother if the news of Huang Jie's entry into the casino would spread and leave sequelae, but after a little thought, does my mother still need to worry about her own affairs? I was happy to worry about it, and I began to discuss the recent economic trend with Xiao Jinhua.

was chatting speculatively with his mother, Dididi, the mobile phone rang, Tang Yi looked at the number, it was Yanjing calling, and smiled at his mother: "There is something wrong, I will talk to you later." ”

Xiao Jinhua snorted: "I'm always last in line, right?" But hung up anyway.

Tang Yi connected his mobile phone and asked, "Mayor Xiaofeng?" ”

"Thank you!" Mayor Xiaofeng's voice was a little choked, thinking that he had not yet adjusted the joys and sorrows after talking to Huang Jie, Tang Yi smiled: "It's good to have a family reunion, I really want to thank you, wait for Huang Gong to come back, and then try your home-cooked food." ”

Mayor Xiaofeng seemed to be wiping away tears, which made Tang Yi embarrassed for a while, although he was a colleague, but after all, Mayor Xiaofeng was not a few years younger than his mother, and he really didn't know how to persuade him.

"Thank you." Mayor Xiaofeng gradually calmed down the agitation in his heart, and smiled embarrassedly.

……

Sitting in Chen Ke's white Jetta, Tang Yi closed his eyes and recuperated, although he took the high speed, it would take three or four hours to go to the provincial capital, Tang Yi was ready to squint, he chatted with his mother too late last night, and he didn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning, so he was a little sleepy.

Probably used to it, Xiaomei, Qi Jie, and even Sister Lan have all been Tang Yi's drivers, and they took it for granted that Chen Ke drove Tang Yi to sleep by himself, and he didn't feel that he really lost his manly demeanor.

Listening to Tang Yi's breathing gradually steady, Chen Ke glanced at Tang Yi, and then turned back to focus on driving.

When the car was about to get off the highway, Tang Yicai slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and touched the cigarette as he was used to, and then held back.

Chen Ke reached out and pulled open the glove box, took out a box of cigars from it, and said, "Smoke this." ”

Tang Yi took it, the packaging was very exquisite, there were 1492 Arabic numerals, Tang Yi asked, "It's expensive, right?" Like a Cuban cigar? ”

Chen Ke said: "When I went to the UK for training, I bought it for more than 20,000 yuan, right? I heard that this brand is very good, called, ah, called Kexiba, 1492 was released to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Napoleon's discovery of cigars, and I bought it as a limited edition. ”

Tang Yi sighed, and took the cigar apart, although smoking and smoking cigars are two different things, liking smoking does not mean that he likes to smoke cigars, but of course Tang Yi will not be bored enough to explain to Chen Ke, took out a cigar, pondered for a while and put it back, and said: "The taste is too strong, wait until you get off the car to smoke it." ”

"It's okay!" Chen Ke slowly stopped the car, and pulled out a box of matches from the glove box, which seemed to be sold with cigars, Chen Ke said, "I'll help you order it." ”

Tang Yi had no choice but to take out a cigar and hand it over, Chen Ke took out a small pair of scissors from the glove box, cut off the cap of the cigar, and lit the match, holding the match in one hand, and holding the cigar obliquely in the other hand, slowly rotating the cigar and lighting it, she was wearing a dark blue uniform, beautiful and dignified, and her demeanor was elegant when she lit the cigar, which was really a pleasure to watch. Cigars represent a way of life, of leisure, even of drunkenness. Chen Ke, dressed in a prosecutor's uniform, seems to be a representative of another life, rigorous and pragmatic, giving people an alternative aesthetic when Chen Ke lights a cigar.

"A cigar cannot be lit with a lighter, nor can it be lit with a regular match, as it will spoil its taste." Chen Ke brought the lit cigar to Tang Yi's mouth and said, "Suck slowly, I'll drive it slowly, an hour is enough for you to enjoy." ”

Chen Ke said regretfully: "I've been studying for a long time, but I can't do it well." As soon as he finished speaking, he fell silent.

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, have you studied for a long time? Is it just to order a cigar like today?

The cigarette circulates in the mouth, and it is a wonderful feeling.

……

The meeting with Sister Ma and Sister Ma's lover Shen Guangwen was very smooth, Shen Guangwen was very talkative, and he especially thanked Tang Yi for analyzing the pros and cons of national and local taxes for Sister Ma at the beginning, and now Shen Guangwen is already the director of the Provincial State Taxation Bureau.

Tang Yi invited guests, the four of them went to Fulou to have a meal of Western food, after eating, at the suggestion of Shen Guangwen, went to a fishing ground in the suburbs, during which Tang Yi talked to Shen Guangwen about the Miaoxiang Spring, Shen Guangwen immediately laughed No problem, it can be seen that he also wants to get to know Tang Yi.

The only regret of Chuncheng and his entourage may be that Tang Yi suddenly found that he and Chen Ke could no longer get along naturally, and between the two, it seemed that there was a huge gap, which was so insurmountable.

When he returned to Anton, he soon saw the National Taxation Bureau's penalty notice for Miaoxiang Spring, but the fine was tens of thousands of yuan, and even the Red Army came to Tang Yi's office, making self-criticism with a sincere face, and said that in the future, the work of the national taxation system should be vigorously guided by the political axe.

When Tang Yi chatted with Shen Guangwen, he could hear that this company director was his descendant, so he didn't say much, and encouraged the company Red Army a few words, which was a reassuring pill for him.

Sending off the Red Army, it was already noon, but when Tang Yi went to the canteen to eat, he met Gu Xinming, the municipal party committee and the municipal axe work in a compound, but it also has a little benefit, and it is convenient to communicate.

Tang Yi and Gu Xinming sat in the private room of the small restaurant, asked the waiter to serve four dishes and one soup, and while eating, Gu Xinming suddenly sighed, "Originally, I wanted to work with you for a few more years." ”

Tang Yi was stunned, but didn't speak, just drank the soup silently.

"Some things, alas......" Gu Xinming sighed.

Tang Yi didn't ask, there are some things that are secretive, knowing is knowing, and it doesn't make much sense to ask or not.

Gu Xinming is leaving?

Tang Yi pondered this question all afternoon, and then received a call from Tang Wandong, "Xiaoyi, do you have any ideas for a new environment?" ”

Tang Wandong's first sentence made Tang Yi know that Gu Xinming was really leaving.

In the end, he still couldn't stop something, but he minimized the impact so that Anton's team could transition smoothly.

"I don't want to go." Tang Yi, who had just opened the situation and was ready to do a big job, was reluctant to leave Anton.

"There are a lot of rights and wrongs in Liaodong!" Tang Wandong sighed.

Tang Yi was silent for a while and said, "I'll try it." ”

Tang Wandong also seemed to be indecisive, and sighed after a while: "The old man himself said that he had made a stinky move, and he knew that you were so capable, so he put you in the south." ”

Tang Yi understood what the old lady meant, and put himself in Liaodong was to set fire to roast, and after a few years of training, he was transferred to the Tang team, but he didn't want to perform well and make a small city in the north quite big, but Liaodong was not where the Tang family was located, so he was afraid that Tang Yimu would show off in the forest and be destroyed by the wind.

"Second uncle, I really want to try." Now leaving Anton, Tang Yi is 120,000 unwilling.

Tang Wandong pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay, guard against arrogance and rashness, don't compete with others everywhere." ”

Tang Yien sighed, but found that after the second uncle sat in the position of governor of Lingnan, his surname seemed to have changed, and it was more stable than before.

……

At the end of 1995, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee promoted the reform of cadres and personnel, and expanded the Third Bureau of Cadres, that is, the Bureau of Economic, Science, Technology, and Education, and the other cadre bureaus also made corresponding personnel adjustments.

Although the power of the Second Bureau of Cadres is very heavy, Mayor Xiaofeng, the deputy director, is in a temporary position in a large sense, and she does not have much work, and her main task now is to study in the party school.

Most of the members of the Anton Standing Committee believe that the mayor's position will fall on Tang Yi's head, but Tang Yi himself knows that the voice of opposition to his appointment as mayor in the provincial party committee will be very loud, at least Minister Zhao will set up some resistance for himself.

Tang Yi did not go to the province for activities, sat firmly on Diaoyutai, watching the flowers bloom and fall.

Then, Tang Yi received an invitation from Secretary Sun, and in the courtyard of Secretary Sun, he met the eldest son of the old secretary, Sun Yuhe, the mayor of Yongbyon, Sun Yuhe, who was tall and thin, wearing glasses, very bookish, just in his early forties, when he was in the prime of life and full of spirit.

Tang Yi and Sun Yuhe shook hands warmly, and Tang Yi asked Secretary Sun with a smile: "Why don't you see Sun Lei?" "Although Sun Lei was born to the second child, he is the eldest grandson of the old secretary Sun, and it is the second son Sun Yujiang who made a romantic debt at the age of eighteen.

Old Secretary Sun pulled Tang Yi into the living room and said, "Ignore that kid, I'll have two drinks with you today." He said to Sun Yuhe who followed up: "You go and get busy with you, you don't have to accompany me, an old man!" The tone was very dissatisfied.

Sun Yuhe looked a little embarrassed, and forced a smile: "Okay, you guys talk about yours!" He nodded to Tang Yi, turned around and walked out.

The nanny put the cups and chopsticks, and the old secretary Sun personally poured wine for Tang Yi, and Tang Yi hurriedly grabbed the wine bottle and filled the wine glasses of the two.

Old Secretary Sun picked up the wine glass and sighed: "You are very good, very good!" is young and in a high position, and he has made some fame! Looking at Tang Yi, it seemed to touch his heart and he felt a lot of emotion.

Tang Yi felt slightly strange and said with a smile: "Mayor Yuhe has developed Yongbian very well over the years, and he has always been my role model." ”

Old Secretary Sun frowned and said, "Don't mention him!" ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the old secretary sighed again: "I just can't see the cadres who go to the top when I see honor!" Competent! Make some name for yourself! ”

Tang Yi vaguely guessed something, but didn't speak, silently drank the wine in the glass.

……

On December 3, Tang Yi was officially appointed as the acting mayor of Andong City after being nominated by the Provincial Party Committee of Liaodong and approved by the Standing Committee of the Andong People's Congress.

At the end of 1995, Tang Yi, who was about to be 28 years old, completed the road that others might not have walked in half a lifetime or even a lifetime, and became one of the youngest cadres at the department level and the youngest mayor of a prefecture-level city in the Republic.

While the Standing Committee members were full of admiration, Tang Yi did not have the joy of victory, because the candidates nominated by Tang Yi and Gu Xinming for executive deputy mayor were not approved by the provincial party committee.

A few days later, news came that Gu Xinming would leave Anton and be transferred to the provincial department of land and resources, secretary of the party group.

On December 23, the Andong Municipal Party Committee held a meeting of the city's leading cadres, Zhao Weimin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and city leaders Gu Xinming and Tang Yi attended the meeting. Gu Xinming presided over the meeting.

At the meeting, Zhao Weimin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, read out the decision of the Provincial Party Committee on adjusting the work positions of the main responsible comrades of the Andong Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Axe. decided to appoint Sun Yuhe as secretary of the Andong Municipal Party Committee and nominate him as a candidate for the chairman of the Standing Committee of the Andong Municipal People's Congress; Tang Yi, deputy secretary of the Andong Municipal Party Committee and acting mayor, was nominated as a candidate for mayor of Andong City. Comrade Gu Xinming was transferred to the province to make other arrangements for work.

At the meeting, Zhao Weimin fully affirmed the work of Gu Xinming and Wang Xiaofeng in Anton, and put forward ardent hopes for Sun Yuhe and Tang Yi.

Tang Yi looked at the polite person sitting next to Zhao Weimin. Slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
