In a bar near Songjiang Airport, the lights were dim, Tang Yi and Ye Xiaolu were sitting in the corner, Ye Xiaolu took a small sip of a drink, looked up, and saw Tang Yi staring at himself for a moment, Ye Xiaolu chuckled: "Don't see that you can't pull it out in your eyes!" ”

Tang Yi smiled, picked up the orange juice in front of him and took a sip. After thinking about it, he said, "According to the rules, you are not allowed to wear uniforms into the bar, right?" ”

Ye Xiaolu pouted, "It's not you who dragged me here, I want to be fined, you help me out!" Then he fiddled with the delicate and elegant silk scarf on his chest, and chuckled: "Isn't it very stylish to take the flight attendant into the bar?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said, "It's a little feeling." ”

Ye Xiaolu glanced at Tang Yi, "You men! "Snorted softly, coquettish.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Come to the Yellow Sea, watching you go from Europe and the United States to the African line, and then to the domestic line, alas, it seems that you are becoming more and more unlucky since you know me, come to the Yellow Sea, I will help you transfer it." ”

Ye Xiaolujiao smiled: "Don't go, who doesn't understand your thoughts?" I went to the Yellow Sea, and I haven't been bullied enough by you? ”

Seeing that the bright girl in front of the meeting was smiling and charming, Tang Yi's heart was fluttering, and he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Xiaolu's delicate little hand painted with long colored armor, and said with a smile: "Count me chasing you, how about it?" ”

Ye Xiaolu chuckled and shook off Tang Yi's hand, "you!" If you chase me, I'll go with you! Look at your cow, no wonder Lulu said that China can't hold you. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "It's better to go to the Yellow Sea than to be assigned to fly to Songjiang domestic line, right?" ”

Ye Xiaolu's charming and touching long black eyelashes blinked, which was itchy and hard to scratch, she fiddled with the straw, and after being silent for a while, she said softly: "I don't want to rely on you, understand?" I don't like that feeling. ”

Tang Yi nodded silently, without squeaking.

After being silent for a while, Ye Xiaolu blinked and smiled with big eyes, "Why are you so serious?" If you really listen to your arrangement, it's boring to be a lover! I, even if I am a lover, I must be a dignified lover. Seeing Tang Yi raise his head, he immediately stretched out his white and tender index finger and shook it in front of him, and said with a smile: "I don't mean to be your lover, don't misunderstand!" ”

Tang Yi looked at her cute movements, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Understand, I will help you transfer your work, how to develop in the future, of course, you have to rely on yourself, I just make up for the losses caused to you because of my reasons, there is no problem of dependence or non-dependence." ”

Ye Xiaolu said happily: "Okay, then I will accept your kindness." ”

Tang Yi nodded with a smile, and said: "Recently, Huanghai TV is cooperating with various aviation branches to organize a flight attendant show, and the top twenty winners will enter the special team of the World Expo special plane, you should be able to participate in time, good opportunity, whether you can turn over the salted fish depends on this time, and it is not dependent on the help of others." ”

"What salted fish turned over, it's ugly to death!" Ye Xiaolu glanced at Tang Yi dissatisfied.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Let's go, they will be in a hurry for a while." ”

In the Mercedes-Benz outside the bar, Lulu looked at the roof of the car in a daze, a man and a woman in the front driver's seat and the passenger seat were like two nerds, and they didn't say a word to her, almost ignoring her existence, but when she spoke, both of them replied with some respectful tone, which made Lulu very bored, and gradually understood in her heart that she probably wanted to be a good follower of the leader, and it should be such a performance.

Seeing Tang Yi and Ye Xiaolu coming out of the bar, Lulu perked up and sat up, but saw that the young man in the co-pilot had already gotten out of the car very quickly and helped Tang Yi open the door of the rear seat............

The second half of January 2001 is the Spring Festival, and the same as last year, the Spring Festival is a few days, the goose feather snow is boiling and falling from the sky, the whole north is covered in silver, and the snow is a good year, which seems to indicate a good omen for this year.

January 31 is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the night sky of lead gray does not know when it started, and there are scattered snowflakes, mixed with granular snow particles, which hurt on the face.

In the warm living room, Tang Yi and Bao'er, who were sitting beside him, chatted with each other.

This year, Xiaomei has a heavy task, and Tang Yi stayed in Yanjing for three days before returning to the army, and going alone to visit relatives and friends, Tang Yi realized how tired it was, Xiaomei was by her side, even if she didn't speak, the two supported each other, and the feeling was very different.

I went back to the Yellow Sea last night, and I started working after a night's rest, but fortunately, at the beginning of the new year, it was not too much work, and today Tang Yi was also in good spirits.

Yun'er bought a few large bags of daily necessities and went back to North Korea to see her friends, Aunt Li also returned to Spring City, but Sister Lan and Bao'er came back from Yanshan the day before yesterday, and it was the younger sister who called and asked Sister Lan to come back to take care of Tang Yi, so that Tang Yi would not spend the New Year alone in the Yellow Sea.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Qi Jie is used to live at home for a few days, and then go to the United States to accompany Ms. Xiao to spend the long New Year, and this year is no exception.

Tang Yi sighed softly when he thought about it, even if he deliberately didn't think about it, for them, the guilt in his heart could not be erased.

"Uncle, you're unhappy again!" Bao'er shook her little head and sighed, very worried.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Then take my uncle to dance hip-hop another day." ”

"Shh Bao'er stretched out her finger and shushed, and glanced at the kitchen, where Sister Lan was washing fruits.

Tang Yi smiled, now Bao'er dares to tell herself anything, but in front of Sister Lan, she pretends to be a good child, and she is falling off from before.

Bao'er whispered in Tang Yi's ear: "Uncle, then make an appointment, and I'll take you to play one day." ”

Tang Yi smiled and nodded, but his eyes were on the TV screen.

In TV, it is the Xiuxiu entertainment program in Huanghai City, after a series of selections, fifty flight attendants entered the final finals, and now the beautiful girl who is on the stage and the host's clever questions and answers is Ye Xiaolu, wearing a black Ye Xiaolu is cold and charming, glamorous and charming, judging from the applause, even the limelight overshadowed the beautiful hostess who was wrapped in a low-cut dress with a red surname, revealing snow-white thighs.

"Uncle!" Seeing that Tang Yi had been staring at the beauties on TV, Bao'er pouted.

Tang Yi laughed, retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand to twist Bao'er's delicate little face, and said, "Our little Bao'er will also be jealous!" ”

Bao'er pouted, "Are they prettier than Bao'er?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "No, our Bao'er is the most beautiful!" ”

As she spoke, Sister Lan walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit bowls, the apple petals on the plate were evenly shaved, and a toothpick was inserted in each apple petal, Tang Yi frowned: "Why is it so troublesome?" Just one or two toothpicks, so many of them, how do they look like a plate of hedgehogs coming out? ”

Sister Lan smirked twice, put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and said, "It's convenient to eat, don't worry, Secretary Tang, it's all new toothpicks." ”

Tang Yi was a little helpless, who told you this? But Bao'er couldn't be too harsh on Sister Lan in front of her, so she sighed, picked up a toothpick, and put the apple in her mouth, which was sweet and sour, and tasted excellent. Then he picked up another petal, put it to Bao'er's mouth, and said, "Taste it, the apples of Xinjiang Province are worthy of their reputation!" ”

Bao'er opened her small mouth and took a bite of the apple into her mouth, chewing it in a small bite, and her heart was sweeter than her mouth.

Tang Yi turned his head and asked Sister Lan, "Go home, are you okay?" ”

Sister Lan glanced at Bao'er and didn't squeak, but Bao'er whispered: "Uncle, my aunt came to my grandparents' house to make trouble, saying that my father was missing, scolding me and scolding my mother." ”

Tang Yi rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, it's them who are making trouble." ”

Chen Dahe of the Yanshan Public Security Bureau and the Yang team promoted are now the director of the county bureau, he is very keen on fame and fortune, because he knows that Sister Lan is working as a nanny for Tang Yi, and he has to go to Sister Lan's house every Chinese New Year to see, Zhuo Dajun's sister came to Xia's house to make trouble, and he was also there to make trouble, and he also drove out with a black face, and the people of the Zhuo family did not dare to make trouble after he came.

Yang Ju cautiously asked on the phone if he could come to see Mayor Tang in a few days, Tang Yi smiled and said that there is time, no matter how small a person is, he has his value, not to mention that in Yanshan, Yang Ju is a great person.

Tang Yi asked Sister Lan just to see what Bao'er's reaction was, and seeing that Bao'er was not very concerned, she felt a little relieved.

Zhuo Dajun is now recuperating in the Jiulongshan Hospital in Huanghai, also known as a psychiatric hospital, but he has heard that the situation is getting worse and worse, and the attack is extremely strong, and he is tied up in a confinement cell almost every day.

Sister Lan knew about these situations, but she just hid them from Bao'er, and seeing Zhuo Dajun's tragic situation, Sister Lan went to see him every month, and gave the nurses some money to ask them to improve Zhuo Dajun's life occasionally.

Tang Yi hesitated, and finally asked Bao'er: "Bao'er, do you miss your father?" ”

Bao'er shook her head, but lowered her little head, thinking that for Zhuo Dajun, her feelings were very complicated.

Tang Yi sighed softly, reached out and hugged Bao'er in his arms, Bao'er obediently leaned on Tang Yi's chest and didn't speak again.

Ding Dong, the doorbell rang suddenly, Sister Lan hurriedly trotted over, and when she looked out from the cat's eye, her face became unnatural.

Tang Yi saw that she was squirming and refused to open the door, and frowned: "Who?" ”

Sister Lan stammered, "Yes, it's my friend." ”

The doorbell rang again while speaking, and Tang Yi said, "Don't open the door yet?" It's noisy! ”

"Ah, ah" Sister Lan agreed in a panic, and asked cautiously: "You, do you want to hide?" Immediately, he saw Tang Yi's eyes widen, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly opened the security door.

"Didn't do a good job, did you? My hands are sore! With the sound of laughter, a beautiful young woman of twenty-seven or eighteen walked in, she was wearing a long blue tweed coat, but she was dignified and beautiful, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted: "Hey, your house is really warm, rich people are different, heating, and air conditioning, I can see through the skirt." ”

Immediately, the young woman saw Tang Yi on the sofa and sighed, "Who is this?" ”

Sister Lan stubbornly said, "It's my brother-in-law." "I was a little frightened and a little happy, and I said that it would be good if I were really my brother-in-law.

The young woman smiled: "Your family is really a star, they are all so beautiful, Bao'er, look who is coming!" ”

Bao'er lazily leaned on Tang Yi's arms and snorted twice, making Tang Yi cry and laugh, do you really want to learn from Sister Lan?

The young woman walked into the house generously and said, "I've always wanted to see how you rich and noble people decorate, the building in the building, the environment is really good." There was some envy in his eyes.

In front of Tang Yi, Sister Lan didn't dare to brag a little bit, not to mention that the current Sister Lan was not the mentality of the nouveau riche in the past, and said softly: "Home, warmth is a good home, gold and silver nests, cold is not a good home." ”

Tang Yi glanced at Sister Lan amusedly, nodded approvingly, and finally made some progress.

The way of the young woman with envy; "Xiaolan, you have a level when you speak." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's so hot, no wonder you wear this." ”

Sister Lan is dressed as a gentle little woman, pink home clothes, cute white socks, and small pink flower slippers, very pretty and very feminine.

Sister Lan said: "I took off my tweed coat when it was hot." ”

The young woman glanced at Tang Yi, and just wanted to refuse with a smile, but suddenly she was stunned, and then looked at Tang Yi carefully, and said with a smile: "Hey, do you know who your brother-in-law looks like?" Like Mayor Tang, the little mayor we often talk about, it's really quite similar, wearing a pair of glasses, I think it can be real. ”

Sister Lan's scalp is a little numb, the young woman's name is Zhang Chunmei, she is a cadre of the Youth League Committee of Lunan District, because of her relationship, usually Sister a few jokes occasionally mention some leading cadres, when mentioning Tang Yi, Zhang Chunmei said that the cadres below call him the little mayor, Sister Lan called the little mayor at that time, but I don't know how comfortable it is, this time I am helping, Sister Lan was so frightened that she secretly looked at Tang Yi's face, and stammered to Tang Yi: "Chunmei, Chunmei is a cadre of the Youth League Committee of Lunan District." ”

The young woman laughed: "Don't say that, what kind of cadre?" If it is said to be at the stock level, it is an errand runner, so it is also called a cadre? ”

Tang Yi stood up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a comrade at the grassroots level, come and sit down, I am Tang Yi, that is, the little mayor you are talking about." ”

Zhang Chunmei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Yi carefully, and then blushed, restrained and helpless, Sister Bilan stammered, "Tang, Mayor Tang, I, we're joking......" I regret this in my heart, what kind of little mayor is it, doesn't this bring trouble to yourself? Sister Lan is a little angry, it turns out that she is such a relative, and she didn't say it earlier, she called the little mayor the most!

Tang Yi smiled: "It's okay, I understand, come on, sit down, I just want to hear what the comrades below think of me." ”

Zhang Chunmei had no choice but to walk over and sit down restrainedly, Sister Lan poured a cup of tea for her, and sat down obediently, feeling up and down, I don't know how the black-faced god will clean himself up after Zhang Chunmei's big mouth is gone.

Bao'er opened her small mouth and yawned a little, looking at her cute little appearance, Tang Yi's heart warmed for a while, and said to Sister Lan: "Take her to sleep." ”

Sister Lan muttered in her heart, such a big girl, what hug? Pretending to be cute like a child who doesn't grow up all day long, annoyed to death! muttered in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he walked over and gently picked up Bao'er, and walked to Bao'er's bedroom upstairs.

Tang Yi smiled and asked Zhang Chunmei: "Are you tired of grassroots work?" ”

Zhang Chunmei didn't have a place to put her hand, and shook her head vigorously: "Not tired, not tired." ”

Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Let's drink tea." ”

Waiting for Zhang Chunmei to drink a few sips of tea, her mood gradually stabilized, Tang Yi had a little chat with her, although Tang Yi was very kind, but where did Zhang Chunmei dare to tell the truth, asked the following cadres on the municipal party committee and municipal axe work style and some documents and regulations, Zhang Chunmei said yes.

In the end, Tang Yi shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's late, you can go back and rest." ”

Zhang Chunmei hurriedly stood up and said, "Mayor Tang, then I'll go." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly.

Sister Lan sent Zhang Chunmei to the door, Zhang Chunmei looked at Sister Lan again, there was more indescribable meaning in her eyes, and she whispered: "Xiaolan, you didn't say it earlier, and you still screamed with our little mayor and little mayor, of course it's no problem for you to call, it's not right for us to shout like this, I will say the wrong thing again in the future, you criticize more, don't be polite." ”

Sister Lan nodded with a smile, this is useful in her heart, usually a few young women who often sing and rub hemp together, only Zhang Chunmei is not convinced by her "sister", and now that she looks at it, her tone is obviously lower.

However, when the complacent Sister Lan returned to the house, the joy in her heart vanished, and she moved to her room tremblingly, and just took two steps, she heard Tang Yi shouting: "Sister Lan, come and sit." ”

Sister Lan wanted to cry, so she turned around obediently, walked over with her head down, and was about to admit her mistake, but she heard Tang Yi say: "Come, sit down and tell me what Director Zhang usually says, that is, about the opinion of the municipal party committee and municipal axe, you will never talk to me and have concerns, right?" ”

As soon as Sister Lan heard that the black-faced god was not going to reprimand her, she immediately came to her senses, and said with a smile: "How can I be, do I still have a secret in front of you?" ”

Tang Yi frowned, but didn't say anything.

At that moment, Sister Lan sat down, and Mei Zizi began to tell Tang Yi about the things she knew, whether it was Zhang Chunmei's statement, the people she usually contacted, the topics she cared about, and the things she felt were unfair, all of which were told to Tang Yi vividly, for the first time, Sister Lan and Tang Yi chatted very hotly, and during the conversation that lasted an hour and a half, Tang Yi basically did not reprimand Sister Lan, so that in the next few days, Sister Lan hummed a little song every day, and I really felt that the greatest joy in life was to chat with the black-faced god without being trained.

……

In the small conference room of the Municipal Party Committee Office Building, next to the elliptical conference table, Tang Yi was silently drinking tea, listening to Wang Lizhen's endless tirade, this was the secretary meeting in early February, the atmosphere was very depressing, only Wang Lizhen's sharper voice, "My opinion is that the site selection is completely the responsibility of the municipal axe, and the municipal axe executive meeting has made a wrong decision, and the people can't be asked to pay!" ”

After Wang Lizhen finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank water, as if she still wanted to talk, but when she saw Huang Xiangdong frowning slightly, she closed her mouth.

There was a problem with the site selection of the Expo Park, and most of the selected sites persuaded the demolition work to go smoothly, but a small part of the land had already signed a contract with a real estate developer, but the real estate developer did not give up the right to use the land, no matter how much compensation the political axe paid.

The World Expo bid work is at a critical moment, the site of the World Expo Park has been reported to the International Bureau of Exhibitions, the initial delegation of the International Bureau of Exhibitions is still very satisfied with the choice of address, and if the change is made now, it is bound to cast a shadow on the Yellow Sea Expo, in late February, Tang Yi will go to the headquarters of the International Bureau of Exhibitions to make the final bid statement, in the impression of the score is greatly reduced, I am afraid that the bid statement will be extremely unsuccessful.

Tang Yi drank tea silently and did not respond to Wang Lizhen's question.

Huang Xiangdong put down the pen in his hand and said: "I basically agree with Secretary Lizhen's point of view, I know that the current work is to make way for the Shenbo, but to make way for the Shenbo, it does not mean that the people will suffer losses, for the construction of the Expo Park, I have two opinions, one is that it cannot be enforced, and the other is that the interests of the masses cannot be harmed on the grounds of political tasks. ”

After Huang Xiangdong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent again.

Secretary Cui didn't say anything for a long time, Zeng Qingming couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, and then lowered his head and smoked.

Finally, Tang Yi put down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "Secretary Wang and Secretary Huang are reasonable, my opinions coincide with the two of them, and the political axe has never thought of enforcing it in the past, I still have this awareness." For merchants, I will focus on persuasion and communication, and if I can't get it, I will change the address, which is no big deal. ”

Wang Lizhen's eyes flashed with a touch of triumph, and nodded, "I agree with Mayor Tang's opinion, but if you change the address, it's a bit hasty, right?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "It's man-made, there's nothing in a hurry." ”

Back in his office, the smile on Tang Yi's face had long since disappeared, and he stood at the window with a teacup, looking down at the crowd coming and going downstairs, and sighed softly.

Where there are people, there will always be fighting, and with the energy he showed in the National People's Congress, he began to be unable to bear it, and Huang Xiangdong, who was very hopeful of competing with him for the secretary of the Huanghai Municipal Party Committee, finally couldn't bear it.

After all, that person's faction occupies a dominant position in Ludong, although he offended the people behind Mayor Li because he was a little impatient, and provoked Mayor Li's provincial party committee to finally shine, and in a series of compromise struggles, he was pushed to the forefront of the Yellow Sea, but this does not mean that Mayor Li's family will continue to unite with the people he trusts to support him, because in the contest with Huang Xiangdong, he may not have any advantage, although being appointed as the mayor of Huanghai City is equivalent to taking the lead, But you can't just think that you can take over Secretary Cui's class smoothly, as long as you don't go to the last step, you never know who will be the winner, ahead, is a long and unpredictable road, if you want to walk well and steadily, you have to play up the spirit.

Tang Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Ding ding" knocked on the door, Cai Ming walked in, Tang Yi did not turn around, and there was not even a trace of change in posture.

Cai Ming walked to Tang Yi's side and whispered: "I checked, Zhao Cheng should be related to Mayor Enhong, and the relationship between the two families has always been very close." ”

Zhao Chengcheng is a real estate businessman who insists on arguing with the political axe, Tang Yi knows that this kind of thing does not need to be ordered by himself, many people will help him to investigate, and he will investigate it thoroughly.

Seeing that Tang Yi didn't squeak, Cai Ming waited for a while, then quietly retreated and closed the office door.
