Chapter 49: The Chinese

As soon as Ruth and Linda left, Tang Yi's mobile phone rang, it was Wang Lu calling, she asked cautiously, "Miss Ruth is not here, is she?" Mayor Tang, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

When the banquet was over, Tang Yi saw that Wang Lu had something to say to him, but he didn't want her to leave all the time, so he wanted to wait outside the welcome pavilion. Tang Yi smiled: "I also have something to talk to Mr. Wang, come on, I'll wait for you." ”

The guests left, Xiao Qin came in to clean up the living room as usual, and after a while, Wang Lu also arrived, Xiao Qin hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and Tang Yi said, "Rest early, you don't have to come later." ”

Xiao Qin agreed crisply, and Wang Lu smiled: "Mayor Tang is really sympathetic to his subordinates. ”

After Xiao Qin left, Wang Lu took the cup, hesitated, wanted to speak, and seemed to have any concerns, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Aunt Wang, if you have something to say, it's okay, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter." ”

When Wang Lu heard Tang Yi call himself Aunt Wang, she felt a peace in her heart, and smiled: "That's the case, I don't know if you know about Huatian Hotel's 'Tingtao' plan." Then Wang Lu smiled, "Look at what I said, how can you care about this, this plan is a promotional plan we launched to meet the tourist season, but who knows, Minghu Hotel launched a 'moon watching' activity before us, which is exactly the same as our 'listening to the waves', which not only made our plan that cost a lot of manpower and financial resources in vain, but also because the emergency revision plan was too hasty and ineffective, and was criticized by the board of directors." ”

It's the peak tourist season in the Yellow Sea, and the two largest hotels in the Yellow Sea are Huatian and Minghu, and at this time of year, they will have a battle between the open and the dark, and it seems that this year is no exception.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Do you suspect that Huatian has an internal ghost?" ”

Wang Lu said: "Judging from the clues, I suspect that it is Zhao Dong's eldest son Zhao Qiang, but there is no actual evidence." ”

Tang Yi frowned and said, "Then call the police, I'll say hello and ask them not to be disturbed and check carefully." ”

Wang Lu smiled bitterly: "If I could call the police, I would have called the police a long time ago, think about it, if I called the police to arrest Lao Zhao's son, what would he think?" So I really can't make up my mind, so I want to hear from you. ”

Tang Yi scratched his head a little, the things in the officialdom were enough to make him tired, how could he care about the open and secret battles in her business circle.

The mobile phone rang very suddenly, Tang Yi looked at the number, just smiled, and then had an idea, hung up the phone, and said to Wang Lu: "Aunt Wang, from my position, I naturally want you to call the police, of course, I can't force you, so let's do it, Ruth and I have some personal friends, I'll talk to her, you two talk, get an idea." "Ruth will be able to deal with business issues with ease, but she doesn't have to worry about it herself.

Wang Lu was a little hesitant on his face.

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't worry, Ruth can be trusted, I saved her life." ”

Wang Lu was relieved, and even more grateful, from the moment he entered the living room, Tang Yi had a homely tone, without the slightest leader's shelf, it seems that he really likes Xiaolu.

Immediately, Tang Yi picked up the phone and dialed Ruth, who giggled, "I thought you were angry." ”

Tang Yi didn't pick up her stubble, and said: "There is something I need your help with, about Huatian Hotel, in this way, make an appointment for you to meet and talk with Mr. Wang." ”

Ruth smiled and agreed, but asked in a low voice: "Sir, you really don't have the slightest interest in my proposal?" ”

In front of Wang Lu, Tang Yi couldn't reprimand her, so he hung up the phone.

……

In mid-July, the major domestic dairy enterprises suddenly lost their voices collectively, because of internal information, the Ministry of Health has begun to intervene in the investigation of the boiling "melamine" incident, at the same time issued a document on the Huanghai Municipal Axe, the Municipal Health Bureau and the relevant health departments of the food safety supervision mechanism affirmed, and asked the provincial and municipal health departments to learn from the experience of Huanghai City, put the interests of the broad masses of the people in the first place, and do a good job in the food hygiene supervision work related to the safety of the people's lives.

Tang Yi also found that the quality of Dahua Company was not up to standard, suddenly remembered the dairy industry, thinking that melamine has existed in dairy food for a long time, only because of the small amount, has not caused bad consequences has not attracted widespread attention, one step earlier to open the lid, will avoid the occurrence of many tragedies, but also can play a big role in promoting the supervision and regulation of domestic food hygiene, making the domestic social development more human-oriented, institutionalized.

Soon after the Ministry of Health issued a document, the Standing Enlarged Meeting of the Municipal Axe was held in the small hall of the political axe, at the request of the General Office of the Municipal Axe, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Transportation Commission, the Foreign Trade Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Audit Bureau, the Industrial Science and Technology Bureau and other economic and related departments, as well as the subordinate districts, the municipal axe leaders all participated in the meeting, and the heads of several large enterprises such as the Red Said Group attended the meeting, and its scale can be said to be no different from the annual municipal axe plenary meeting.

Huang Xiangdong, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, An Linying, Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal People's Congress, He Ruixiang, Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and other city leaders attended the meeting.

The meeting was presided over by Tang Yi, at the meeting, Tang Yi made a speech on the development of the Yellow Sea, he will be through a year of observation, thinking and with economists, my mother's consulting team after the idea of the idea, Tang Yi's enthusiastic speech was interrupted by warm applause from time to time.

In his speech, Tang Yi pointed out that the new century is a century of big cities and large urban agglomerations. Huanghai people need to fully realize the important surname and necessary surname of urbanization and social modernization, to build an advanced civil society, now there are three major urban agglomerations in China, that is, commonly known as the economic zone, Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou, the Yangtze River Delta and the cross-river delta, but as everyone knows, the Ludong Peninsula has also had such an opportunity, at the end of the eighties of the last century, in the national GDP of more than 10 billion cities, the Ludong Peninsula is close to three cities, the Yellow Sea ranks ninth, Nanwei is the sixteenth, and Lucheng is the twenty-first, This continued until the early nineties, but was gradually overtaken by other sister cities.

Tang Yi did not shy away from pointing out that the slow pace of development of Nanwei was due to problems in the economic strategy, and Tang Yi did not say it explicitly, but the cadres present all knew what Tang Yi was talking about, and Tang Yi sighed when he had a private exchange with Zheng Zongyu, the mayor of Nanwei City, that it was really a short-sighted behavior for Nanwei to absorb the Sinochem Group in the early 90s, which made Nanwei carry a heavy burden and pay an extremely painful price.

Tang Yi went on to say that China's dream of becoming a strong country over the past century has been devoted to the pursuit of industrialization, ignoring the development of urbanization and social modernization. Now that we are in the era of information revolution and globalization, we should seize this rare opportunity, attach importance to the role of informatization in China's urban development model, and create an urban space and social mechanism that is in line with the development of the knowledge economy. It is necessary to attach importance to the modernization of society, and cities should provide residents with employment and education opportunities, as well as social security and an environment for social exchanges.

At the same time, the Yellow Sea should realize the international division of labor and complement each other's industrial advantages with neighboring sister cities, promote leapfrog economic development, and strive to realize the integration of the economic circle of the Ludong Peninsula.

To this end, the four cities of Huanghai, Lucheng, Nanwei and Ningtai will establish a temporary coordination mechanism, that is, a joint meeting of mayors, to promote the economic integration of the Ludong Peninsula and establish a three-dimensional economic circle of industrialization, knowledge economy and all-round regional cooperation in the service industry.

Tang Yi also said that a preliminary intention has been reached with Nanwei, and Huanghai will relocate three large enterprises with a moderate degree of pollution or above to Nanwei or the Huanghai Sanmen City near Nanwei, and the specific situation will be deployed after research by experts in various fields.

The cities under the jurisdiction of the city to do a good job of energy conservation and emission reduction, speed up the pace of elimination of backward production capacity, 300 meters below the cubic blast furnace, dozens of backward papermaking production lines in the city and cement machine kiln before the end of the year to all eliminate, the deadline for failure to eliminate, the implementation of the administrative axe accountability.

The urban positioning of the Yellow Sea is to rely on the advantages of regional geography, industrial base and human settlements to build the Yellow Sea into a logistics center, tourism center and manufacturing base in East Asia, vigorously promote the development of tertiary industries such as information technology and service industry, and strive to enter the first echelon of megacities in the country as soon as possible.

Tang Yi's speech is undoubtedly very inspiring, not to mention big words, with clear layers and far-reaching insights. Listening to the warm applause that rang out from time to time in the venue, Huang Xiangdong was like an old monk and drank the tea in the cup calmly.

At the end of the meeting, some cadres were still discussing enthusiastically, and Deputy Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Mayor Xie of the Yellow Sea walked over to shake hands with Tang Yi and cordially discussed some of the details that Tang Yi had just mentioned.

Huang Lin walked together with Deng Wenzhi, Sun Wang, and Zhou Wenkai, and they were also discussing something in a whisper, undoubtedly, the four most popular carriages under Tang Yi were the most eye-catching upstart circles in the Yellow Sea, and even represented Tang Yi's will to a certain extent.

Huang Xiangdong looked at these four people, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then strode out of the venue.

Back in the office, Tang Yi instructed Cai Ming to draft a document to inform the mayors of Lucheng, Nanwei and Ningtai about the meeting, and then, the former deputy director of the National People's Congress, Huang Xiangdong's old enemy, Duan Hejun, the deputy mayor came to Tang Yi's office again.

Tang Yi's mobile phone rang, and Duan Hejun said goodbye.

The call was from Ruth, Huang Hai's local dialect, Tang Yi smiled: "Huang Hai is okay, reluctant to leave?" It won't be waiting to see NBA stars, right? ”

The NBA Finals have just ended, and under the planning of Xiao Jinhua, the first stop of the NBA Summer Asia Tour will be in the Yellow Sea, which has several top stars.

Ruth pursed her lips disdainfully, "A bunch of, what's there to see?" ”

Tang Yi smiled, "You are racist, I am yellow-skinned, is it a yellow monkey in your eyes?" ”

Ruth chuckled, "You know, sir, I love your yellow skin. Then he said, "Linda and I will fly to Europe tomorrow, sir, won't you see me and Linda off in the evening?" "Speaking fluently in foreign language, there is a different kind of charming temptation.

Tang Yi smiled: "I won't go, tell Linda, I like her very much." ”

Ruth chuckled and said yes, and said, "Linda likes Mr. very much, too." ”

When these words came out of her mouth, why did she feel that something was wrong with the taste, Tang Yi reprimanded her, and then hung up the phone.

……

Tang Yi didn't want to see Ruth and Linda, but something happened to the delegation at night, and the accompanying Chinese translator of the executive director of the TRSE Hotel was drunk, and when he called the service lady, he made the wrong object, and took the hotel waiter who strayed into the guest room as a miss, hugged and begged for joy and was slapped in the face, but the translator's surname attacked, and the waiter was beaten violently, and the injury seemed to be not light.

Zhang Dingzhong did not dare to make up his own mind when it came to the foreign guest delegation, so he called Tang Yi to make a report, and Tang Yi of course attached great importance to it, and if this kind of dispute is not handled well, it is very likely that both sides will not please you, and the domestic nationalists will think that you are weak and incompetent, and international public opinion will criticize the harshness of the mainland's laws.

TRSE Hotel is a local company in Singapore, but the executive director of the hotel who participated in the delegation was Dutch, which translates to Singaporean Chinese.

Some Chinese in Singapore, especially the so-called upper-class people, look down on mainlanders very much, although the Republic has always been extremely close to Singapore in the same bloodline, but people do not appreciate it, and during the [***] period, Singapore was the first country to jump out and call for a blockade of the mainland.

The bad behavior of a small number of Singaporean Chinese was fully revealed in the English translator Li Colin, who was known as Clarence, and when Tang Yi arrived, Clarence was shouting with the police officers who came to investigate, and the door of the room was open, and Tang Yi could see it clearly as he passed by.

Accompanied by Zhang Dingzhong and several cadres of the Municipal Bureau, Tang Yi came to Ruth's room, and in the luxuriously decorated living room, there were four or five people sitting, all of whom were high-level executives of European and American hotels in the delegation, and Andy, the executive director of TRSE Hotel, was also among them.

Ruth hugged Linda, smiled and listened to these hotel executives arguing, and didn't talk much, after Tang Yi entered the room, they stopped arguing, and they all stood up and greeted Tang Yi politely, but Ruth must paste Tang Yi's face according to European and American etiquette, although everyone didn't notice how ambiguous Ruth's tender face rubbed Tang Yi's face, Tang Yi himself knew it and was very helpless.

Everyone sat down around the coffee table, because there were Republic officials, Linda didn't continue to sit on Ruth's lap, she sat down next to Ruth, and looked at Tang Yi curiously with big blue eyes, because the current Tang Yi is obviously very different from the kind boss yesterday.

Some directors of the board of directors who are honest and have little prejudice against the republic believe that Clarence does not have diplomatic immunity and should be tried by the legal organs of the republic, while Andy, the executive director of the TRSE Hotel in Singapore, and two other people believe that although Clarence is at fault, the cause is the imperfect management of the Huanghai Hotel, which has caused a misunderstanding. Clarence can provide maximum compensation to the victim financially, without having to bear criminal liability at all.

Andy was the first to explain his point of view to Tang Yi, "Mr. Mayor, first of all, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you for my companion's reckless behavior, I am also very sad that the innocent girl was hurt, but the cause was just a beautiful misunderstanding, Clarence thought that it was the lady who entered his room who wanted to have a beautiful story with him, he could not have imagined that this kind of disaster would happen, for the girl who was hurt, we will do our best to make amends, I hope that this incident will not destroy the good atmosphere of cooperation between the delegation and your city, and I hope that this incident will not destroy the happy mood that I have maintained since I came to the Yellow Sea, you know, my journalist friend called, I have been talking about the beauty of the Yellow Sea, the charm of the Yellow Sea, I am also ready to write a travel account of the Yellow Sea after returning to Singapore, I really don't want to change all this because of a misunderstanding. ”

The Dutch, who speaks English very well and has a good attitude, but the words that are soft and hard and shirk responsibility make Tang Yi frown, Tang Yi stared at Andy, and said in fluent English: "Mr. Andy, you have repeatedly mentioned your mood, so what is Li Cuicui's mood?" Ah, I don't think you know that Li Cuicui is the girl who was hurt. ”

Andy paused for a moment, then said, "I said, this is a misunderstanding, Miss Li entered Clarence's room very late, I think, any man would have this kind of misunderstanding, isn't it?" ”

The reason for this incident is indeed because there was a loophole in the management of the Huanghai Hotel, Li Cuicui was tricked by her companions, mistakenly thinking that there were no guests in the room and wanted to sneak in to take a rest, no one expected this kind of thing to happen.

Tang Yi said indifferently: "We will deal with the problems of hotel management, but Li Cuicui fiercely resisted, and made it clear in Chinese that she was not the lady Clarence was waiting for, Clarence is very good in Chinese, should know very well what Miss Li Cuicui meant, but continued to pester her, and finally used violence, is this just a misunderstanding?" ”

Andy nodded seriously, "Mr. Mayor, many ladies like men to take the initiative and like to be abused, and call girls in your country are no exception, so it is normal for Clarence to have misunderstandings." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "Mr. Andy also knows the situation of call girls in our country?" It's astonishing. ”

Clarence's sister is Andy's lover, and Andy spares no effort to keep Clarence, so he stubbornly said: "Yes, I have seen the special surname behavior of call girls in your country. ”

Tang Yi nodded, "Mr. Andy may not be aware of a fact, in our country, it is illegal to summon call girls, it seems that Mr. Andy can't take tomorrow morning's plane with the inspection team, you need to stay and assist in the investigation, of course, you can rest assured, the maximum punishment is no more than fifteen days in prison, and you will not be sent to a labor camp where you are often splashed with dirty water by some of your media." ”

Tang Yi turned his head to Zhang Dingzhong and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will investigate Mr. Andy's illegal acts." He said in English, but every time Tang Yi said a word, the accompanying translator would translate it to the police officers of the city bureau, Zhang Dingzhong nodded with a smile, and said in his heart that Mayor Tang usually doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't want to debate with people when he turns around, and his means are really powerful. To be a diplomat, I'm afraid it's also very good.

Andy's face turned pale, he was stunned for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Mayor Tang, what I just said was a little joke." ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, "Your joke is not funny, we are not lawyers, I don't want to discuss such a question with you again, whether you have broken the law, whether Clarence has broken the law, I believe that our judicial department will give a fair conclusion, in short, our handling opinion is that you and Mr. Clarence cannot leave the Yellow Sea for the time being, waiting for the investigation of our judicial department." ”

Andy exclaimed, "It's not fair! ”

Tang Yi said indifferently: "Let you leave the Yellow Sea, it will be the biggest injustice to that girl who was hurt!" ”

Ruth kept smiling and looking at Tang Yi, very curious about how Tang Yi would deal with this matter, hearing Tang Yi's last resounding words, Ruth was stunned for a moment, and then the smile gradually disappeared, and glanced at Linda beside her, Linda looked at Tang Yi's eyes very kindly, very soft, aware of Ruth's gaze, Linda gently leaned on Ruth's arm, and whispered: "Ruth, I shouldn't scold him." ”

Ruth nodded, but did not speak.

Tang Yi had already stood up and said to the members of the delegation with different expressions next to the tea house: "I'm sorry to disturb your precious time, I hope this incident will not affect everyone's perception of the Yellow Sea." ”

Several directors hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Tang Yi to say goodbye, some of the directors shook hands a little harder, expressing their favor, and some were perfunctory and had hostile eyes.

Tang Yi and Zhang Dingzhong walked out of Ruth's room, but saw the room with an open door diagonally opposite, and Clarence was still arguing with the public security officers.

Tang Yi frowned, but didn't say anything, the senior captain of the security detachment had already strode over, and said to Clarence without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Grass, please cooperate, go back with us to assist in the investigation, if you don't cooperate again, we have the right to use coercive means." ”

Clarence was drunk and said loudly: "Get out, don't bother me again, wait for my lawyer to come and talk to him!" ”

Captain Gao waved his hand, and several police officers next to him were about to suffocate to death, so he hesitated, jumped up and twisted him, handcuffed him under Clarence's loud cry of pain, and dragged him out of the room only to see Mayor Tang at the elevator entrance, they were all startled, fortunately, Clarence screamed like a pig, but Mayor Tang didn't seem to hear it, and didn't look back at all.

Ruth and his entourage were sent out of the room, seeing that Clarence was forcibly taken away, an accompanying staff member happened to bring a DV, picked it up and filmed, and a police officer next to him had already blocked his camera, looked at him very seriously, and did not speak, the staff and the police looked at each other for a while, and finally put down the DV in his hand.

Andy was almost mad, and after several people returned to Ruth's room, he shouted loudly, "It's too barbaric, it's too barbaric, I'm going to ask the embassy for help, I'm going to ......"

"Shut up!" Ruth's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Andy coldly, "Stupid pig, isn't it enough for you to lose face for us?" I would be proposing to reconsider the membership of TRSE Hotel Golden Key, and I am really puzzled by the quality of your hotel's management. ”

Several directors were stunned, Ruth suddenly became angry, and the directors felt a little silent for a while, although Ruth scolded a stupid pig, Andy didn't dare to fight back, wanting to make a living in the circle of the hotel industry, and how many people dared to offend Ruth?
