What Tang Yi didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the next day, Qin Chengye called, saying that Cheng Yulin wanted to invite Tang Yi to dinner, asked Tang Yi if he had time, and said a little apologetically: "Xiaoyi, I haven't mentioned our relationship to anyone." ”

Of course Tang Yi knows him, not to mention the relationship with himself, even the relationship with the Ning family, he is afraid that he would rather never be known by his colleagues, but many things are not something that you can cover up if you don't say it or not.

It's just that I didn't expect Cheng Yulin to know the relationship between Qin Chengye and himself, after all, Cheng Yulin is just a deputy department-level cadre in the northwest.

Qin Chengye didn't see Tang Yi's squeak for a long time, so he said: "If you don't have time, I'll help you push it, I told him early in the morning that I want him to be mentally prepared." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Go, why don't you go?" I was also about to talk to him, and I was worried that it would be a little abrupt to meet him, uncle, where are you going to eat at night? You call me. ”

Qin Chengye agreed and hung up.

Although there are many rooms on the twelfth floor of the Galaxy Hotel, the inspection team still follows the regulations and lives in a room for two people according to the specifications of the standard room, only Tang Yi and Secretary Guo are one person in one suite, and they did not go to live in the room with particularly luxurious decoration and directly chasing the presidential suite, but each person lived in a common suite.

Tang Yi hung up the phone and went out of the house, the afternoon arrangement was basically to summarize the work of these days, and ended the discussion early, Tang Yi proposed that everyone rest for half a day, one by one, the way of civil and military, Secretary Guo agreed, and he had already set off to visit the retired old comrades-in-arms of the Northwest Military Region.

There are only two female comrades in the inspection team, living together, Tang Yi went over and knocked on the door, Zhao Yayue opened the door and saw that it was Tang Yi, she was slightly surprised, and hurriedly invited Tang Yi into the house, chuckling: "Isn't it boring?" ”

Another female cadre in the room is a discipline inspector at the bureau level of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, surnamed Zhang, in her fifties, with gray hair and black-rimmed eyes, but when she looks at people, her eyes are as sharp as knives.

Seeing Tang Yi come in, Zhang Ju put away the materials and ballpoint pens on the round table, stood up and said, "You talk." ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Zhang Ju, I'm here to talk about work, you can also listen and give ideas." "I act with Zhao Yayue all day long, no matter how I say it, I am a lonely man and a widow, and it is not good to make any gossip.

Zhao Yayue was busy pouring hot water to make tea, and Tang Yi talked about Secretary Guo's instructions at the afternoon summary meeting, starting next week, the inspection team began to hold discussions with private entrepreneurs to listen to the opinions of the masses, and this kind of symposium is also the easiest to find problems.

Tang Yi took out a list drawn up by himself, and the key interlocutors were all well-known entrepreneurs in Ningxi, who were involved in sensitive industries such as real estate and entertainment.

Zhang Ju was slightly surprised, and said, "In just a few days, Team Leader Tang is too well prepared, right?" It's incredible, just talk about me, these people don't talk about information, they haven't heard of it. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "A municipal axe leader in Identical Prefecture is my uncle, so it is more convenient to get information. ”

Zhang Ju suddenly said: "That dare is good, there are family members, and it is convenient to speak, how about it, do you feel anything." "The old discipline inspector has a tendency to doubt everything when he opens his mouth.

Tang Yi said: "I have reported to Guo Lao, as far as I know, the overall atmosphere in Ningxi Province is very good, Secretary Zhou pays great attention to the party's discipline and principles, and the party life of the Ningxi team is healthy. ”

Zhang Ju nodded and said, "That's good, I don't want to step on the thunder at the first stop." ”

Tang Yi smiled without squeaking, and chatted a few more words about work, Tang Yi said: "Bureau Zhang, Department Zhao, I'm going to talk to Director Cheng of the Municipal Bureau in the evening, let's go together?" ”

Zhang Ju said: "I'm going to be busy suing Jiang Ya about that case." He shook his head.

Tang Yi knew that this kind of civil case was the most headache, but those private entrepreneurs kept coming to find it, and they must have said that the High Court's postponement of the retrial was biased in favor of Jiang Ya, and the inspection team had no choice but to follow and go to the High Court to understand the situation.

Tang Yi smiled: "Then we'll go and get busy with us." He looked at his watch and said, "That's about the same." "Get up and take your leave.

Zhao Yayue picked up the briefcase, went out with Tang Yi, and when Zhang Ju closed the door, Tang Yi turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yayue: "Take you to eat delicious food tonight!" ”

Zhao Yayue smiled slightly and said; "Hongmen Banquet?"

Tang Yi smiled, "Who knows? ”

……

Mingyueju is probably the most exquisite hotel in Glycozhou, with antique decoration, dragon and phoenix curtains and carpets, and dragon head palace lamps. The hall is carved with beams and columns, the screens are splendid mountains and rivers, and the service lady is wearing a gorgeous palace maid dress, smiling sweetly.

Tang Yi smiled when he entered the hotel: "There is such a place in Glycozhou, I can't imagine it." ”

In the luxury box on the second floor of the hotel, Tang Yi saw Cheng Yulin, a tall and sturdy body, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he could see that he must have been a beautiful man when he was young.

Tang Yi shook hands and greeted Cheng Yulin, and also introduced Zhao Yayue beside him, Cheng Yulin said with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet with the leading comrades of the Central Committee, but I am afraid of disturbing you." "The voice is calm and magnanimous.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "How can we be called the leaders of the central government? It's just an idler running errands, and Cheng Ju is too polite! ”

Cheng Yulin said: "The same, the same, we run errands for the locality, and the two of you have done your best for national affairs, so you are still leaders." ”

Several people laughed, and after sitting down, Cheng Yulin instructed the waiter to serve wine and food, and said to Tang Yi and Zhao Yayue: "I heard that Team Leader Tang doesn't like to socialize, and Director Zhao is a lesbian, let's drink some beer and moisten our throats?" ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly.

During the meal, everyone didn't talk much about business, they talked from south to north, observed each other, and talked speculatively.

After the meal, the waiter brought tea, and the topic became casual, gradually, the topic was introduced to Glycozhou, Tang Yi talked with Cheng Yulin about several main leaders in Ningxi, Cheng Yulin also knew everything, and did not shy away from talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the leader, and the analysis was also meticulous.

When it comes to the cadres of Glycozhou, Cheng Yulin said more bluntly: "Mayor Wang has the ability, but he is too keen on power, and he spends half of the year running to the central government, to tell a joke, he knows the situation in Yanjing better than in the city, and this person is xenophobic, let's just say Mayor Qin, when he came to Glycozhou, he was immediately put into the cold palace because of the problem of reducing the burden on farmers and he was beaten once, Mayor Qin, is there such a thing?" ”

Tang Yi glanced at Qin Chengye, and Qin Chengye shook his head with a wry smile.

Tang Yi nodded and said: "There are many good cadres like Cheng Ju, which is a blessing for our party!" ”

Cheng Yulin shook his head and sighed: "Good cadre? Does Team Leader Tang really think so? As he spoke, his eyes stared at Tang Yi.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Most people are recognized as good cadres, aren't they good cadres?" The eyes of the masses are bright! ”

Cheng Yulin smiled: "But the truth is often in the hands of a few, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Yayue chuckled at this time and interjected, "How can you talk about it, it seems that Cheng Ju just doesn't want to be such a good cadre?" ”

Everyone laughed, Tang Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip with a smile, looked at Cheng Yulin, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Cheng Yulin was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I know, the inspection team has an opinion on me. ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned, but did not speak, just drank tea silently.

Zhao Yayue said: "Cheng Bureau, we don't have any opinion on you personally, but we do have some different opinions on some cases in Glycozhou. ”

Cheng Yulin smiled: "It doesn't matter, even if you don't look for me, I would have wanted to talk to you for a long time, I've been too tired for more than a year!" ”

Tang Yi nodded silently, at this time, he knew why he was so calm when talking about provincial and municipal cadres, it turned out that he had enough mental preparation.

……

According to investigation, Lin Xue's classmate Cheng Liang broke up with Lin Xue because he met a new boyfriend during school, and had a verbal altercation in the box of the Ocean Star Bar where the two met, and he was emotional and stabbed Lin Xue several times with a fruit knife, causing him to die on the spot.

Afterwards, Boss Li, the star of the ocean who recognized Cheng Liang, found out about the situation, helped him destroy the corpse, and instigated Cheng Liang to confess, half a year later, Boss Li found Cheng Yulin and made some kind of transaction with Cheng Yulin.

In the living room of the suite, looking at the case file, Tang Yi was in a heavy mood, sighed when he looked at it, picked up the teacup, put it down again, and lit a cigarette.

What Tang Yi didn't expect was that Boss Li who was involved was a big fish, and in the process of handling the case by the Provincial Public Security Department's task force, it was gradually discovered that Boss Li had a close relationship with Mayor Wang of Identical City, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened.

The work of the Ningxi Provincial Party Committee has been affirmed by the central inspection team, and at the end of December, a grand farewell banquet was held at the Yinhe Hotel to see the inspection team back to Beijing.

In the box on the second floor of the Blue Sky Hotel, Tang Yi slowly sipped tea.

Today is December 31, 1999, at the turn of the century, Xiaomei and Qi Jie both said that they wanted to come over.

After the inspection team returned to Beijing, the team members took a vacation for half a month, and then returned to their original jobs, and after the year, they will go to another province in the northwest to inspect, and during the northwest period, Tang Yi took the time to go to the East University of Technology to take the last course of the exam, and successfully obtained a graduate degree.

Tang Yi is now on vacation, drinking jasmine tea, the mobile phone suddenly rang, Tang Yi looked at the number, it was Zhao Yayue, these three months, but he and Zhao Yayue have formed a good friendship.

Connected, smiled: "Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year!" Zhao Yayue chuckled twice, and then said, "Next year, you won't be able to see me." ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "Why? You're no longer on patrol? ”

"Well, go to the Yellow Sea, it seems to be the executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau, right?"

Tang Yi smiled, "Congratulations on Gao Sheng, you are really a real person." ”

Huanghai is a sub-provincial city, the municipal ministries and commissions are deputy department-level institutions, and the Finance Bureau is a very prominent department, Zhao Yayue is only in her early thirties, and can serve as the first deputy director of the sub-provincial city's financial power, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is promoted, after all, she wants to make progress at her age level, even if she has to stay up for a few years in the ministries and commissions, and she will be able to exercise in important positions in the local area, and the promotion will be faster, and now it seems that Zhao Yayue is not inconspicuous, but the help behind it is not small, When she entered the inspection team, she was really gold-plated.

Zhao Yayue chuckled: "Thank you, if you have time to come to the Yellow Sea, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Tang Yi said: "It must be." After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi smiled, the capital is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, the basic background of the members of the inspection team Tang Yi mostly has points, Zhao Yayue's mother-in-law and her mother's family have no big background, Tang Yi didn't care too much, but he didn't want to be a rooted master.

Tang Yi knew that Huanghai City had been making a lot of noise recently because of the advertisement, so he would naturally vacate some seats.

Yellow Sea? Tang Yi thought of that person again, the Yellow Sea, his roots in the Yellow Sea were deeply rooted, right? This time, the advertising incident is getting bigger and bigger, is it a move that he wants to be on top?

The person who is six years older than himself and was once regarded as the best successor in the red family, because of his ascension, he is no longer the one who stands out and is frequently compared by insiders, and now, is he one step faster than himself?

Tang Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip silently, if the so-called lifelong enemies of the second uncle and Guan Husheng were his own imagination, he and he were regarded by many people as future rivals, and they would be entangled in their lifelong enemies.

It was getting dark, Sister Hong came in, helped Tang Yi light up the chandelier, glanced at Tang Yi who was stunned, and quietly walked out again.

"Dididi" The phone rang, Tang Yi looked at the number, it was the little sister, hurriedly connected, and asked, "Arrived?" ”

"Well, at your house!" Of course, the little sister has Tang Yi's house key.

Tang Yi hurriedly stood up and said as he walked out: "Wait for me, go back immediately." Immediately there was a headache, Qi Jie would also come to Yanjing, if not, he would only ask her to go home and reunite with her parents, and talk to her on the phone when it was close to twelve o'clock, even if they stepped into the new century together.

……

When Tang Yi opened the door of the living room, he was stunned, but saw that on the sofa in the living room, the two daughters were sitting side by side, one daughter was beautiful as a fairy, and the other was as beautiful as a peach, but it was the little sister and Qi Jie.

The air conditioner in the living room was warm as spring, and when Xiaomei and Qi Jie saw Tang Yi coming in, they both stood up.

Tang Yi scratched his head and asked, "Why did you come together?" ”

The little sister was a little happy when she saw Tang Yi, she said "En", she didn't like to explain anything, she just walked over and pulled Tang Yi's hand, Tang Yi smiled, but Qi Jie had already taken out a set of purple wood tea sets, busy making tea, seeing her skillful movements, obviously she had put in a lot of hard work, as for whether it was to please the little sister or Tang Yi, but only she knew.

Tang Yi looked at them, but he really didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

The little sister nodded, but Qi Jie kept silent, looking very ladylike.

Tang Yi sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked at the TV images in a daze, really afraid that saying the wrong thing would make them both uncomfortable.

The little sister sat next to Tang Yi, and when she saw Qi Jie moving a small stool and sitting next to the coffee table, she said, "Come and sit." ”

Qi Jie shook her head and said, "You talk, I'll watch TV." ”

After drinking tea, none of them spoke, and the clock was ticking, as if it was more harsh than the voice of the host of the party on TV.

Tang Yi sighed, feeling that it was not a way to go on like this, so he said, "Have a drink." As he spoke, he got up and went to open the refrigerator, and took out a few cans of beer, if it was just two people, Qi Jie would have come over to help, but at this time, he could only sit honestly, and he didn't dare to be courteous.

Tang Yi put the beer on the table, and then remembered that he had never seen his little sister drink, so he asked his little sister: "Have you ever drunk beer?" ”

The little sister shook her head slightly.

Tang Yi's mobile phone rang didi, it was his mother, look at the watch, it was past nine o'clock, Tang Yi said to Xiaomei and Qi Jie: "I'll make a few calls." ”

Xiaomei and Qi Jie both nodded.

Tang Yi entered the bedroom and let out a long breath softly, it was really difficult to endure outside.

Connected the phone, made a few jokes with my mother, and chatted for a while, my mother asked if my little sister was with him today, and when I asked my little sister to answer the phone, Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Qi Jie is also there." ”

Xiao Jinhua seemed to be stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay, a little ability, the two of them are together?" Although he was laughing, Tang Yi could hear his mother's dissatisfaction, and he didn't dare to squeak.

Xiao Jinhua snorted, "Even if you still have a little conscience, you also know how ashamed you are?" ”

Tang Yien sighed, but he knew that his guilt was getting weaker and weaker now, perhaps, he had passed the age of being sad for his feelings, and now he just wanted to treat Xiaomei, Qi Jie and Chen Ke well, but he wouldn't think about anything else.

After hanging up his mother's phone, Tang Yi began to call one by one according to the address book, Yanshan, Anton's old subordinates, new colleagues in the capital, relatives and friends, and elders of the world, this call came down, but it was more than eleven o'clock.

In the end, Tang Yi dialed Chen Ke's number, and the phone was connected, and Chen Ke smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law is not around?" ”

Tang Yi, who was carrying someone behind his back, could already coax a few words to the girl, and said with a smile: "I'm not here, I have to call my baby today!" ”

"Who's your baby?" Chen Ke snorted angrily, his heart was sweet and sour.

Tang Yi said again: "My mobile phone will not hang up for a while, let's listen to the domestic New Year's bell together." ”

Chen Ke said; "That's not good, you and your sister-in-law live in a two-person world, brother, thank you for your call." After a pause, he said, "Spring Festival, I'll go back to see you." ”

Tang Yi said busily; "Don't hang up the phone, I'll talk to you for a while." It's embarrassing to go back to the living room.

After talking affectionately with Chen Ke for a while, he hung up the phone under Chen Ke's repeated urging, Tang Yi came out of the bedroom, but he was stunned, and saw that on the sofa, Qi Jie and Xiaomei were chatting enthusiastically, of course, Xiaomei just listened quietly, Qi Jie's face was flushed, and it was even more gorgeous and moving, on the coffee table, several cans of beer became empty bottles, and I knew that Qi Jie drank it.

Tang Yi was a little helpless, Xiaomei and Qi Jie were sitting on the sofa, Tang Yi had to walk over and sit on a small stool, and it was not easy to interject, so as not to embarrass everyone again, look at the wall clock on the wall, it was already eleven forty-five.

Qi Jie and Xiaomei talked about interesting things about her work, and Qi Jie asked Xiaomei: "Eldest sister, tell me about your special forces, isn't it fun?" ”

Hearing Qi Jie's "eldest sister", Tang Yi's scalp was numb for a while, and he looked at his little sister, but saw that there was nothing unusual on his little sister's face, so he was slightly relieved, thinking that Qi Jie didn't know what means to use to determine the title of "eldest sister".

Xiaomei shook her head: "It's not fun." Then he said, "You said that she called me my little sister." ”

Qi Jiejiao smiled: "Then I don't dare, but not everyone is blessed to call you little sister." ”

Listening to the two chatting with great interest, Tang Yi suddenly found that he had become a transparent person, smiled bitterly, and took out a cigarette and lit one.

"Hey, it's time!" Qi Jie looked at the alarm clock on the wall.

When the bell rang twelve o'clock in the TV, countless fireworks like splendid flowers suddenly rose into the air outside the window, Tang Yi turned off the lights, Qi Jie cheered, and pulled the little sister to the window to watch the fireworks, and the colorful sparks made the two girls more delicate and moving.

Tang Yi, the forgotten man, had no choice but to come behind the people and look at the fireworks outside the window boringly.

Qi Jie looked out the window at the fire tree and silver flowers, the little sister looked back at Tang Yi, Tang Yi smiled at her, and the little sister turned her face and continued to watch the fireworks.

Tang Yi began to feel bored, but gradually, looking at the two jade people standing side by side in front of the window, his heart gradually surged with some gratitude, some warmth, and suddenly there was an indescribable pride, with such a little sister and such a Qi Jie to accompany him, what kind of thorns could he not conquer?

Smiled, went to the refrigerator to get a can of beer, turned around and sat on the sofa, pulled it away, took a sip, the ice went into his throat, but it was extremely sweet.

After a while, the fireworks gradually decreased, and the little sister looked back at Tang Yi again, and said, "Don't look at it." ”

Qi Jieen sighed, closed the curtains, and went to turn on the lights again.

Tang Yi smiled: "After a day of traveling, you two must be tired, go to sleep, I'll sleep on the sofa." ”

Three rooms, one bedroom, one guest room, one study, the little sister naturally will not sleep in the same bed with others, and the little sister can only sleep in the bedroom, Qi Jie sleeps in the guest room, and sleeps on the sofa by herself.

The little sister was not shocked, and said: "It's not good to sleep on the sofa, you go to bed, I sleep on the sofa, I'm not afraid of hard." ”

Qi Jie didn't want to rob her little sister, and she didn't make a sound, but she suddenly remembered the first time with Tang Yi, at that time, didn't she go to sleep on a hard bed and couldn't stand the cold? Glancing at Tang Yi, Qi Jie's face was a little hot.

Tang Yi smiled: "Go to sleep, how can there be a woman sleeping on the sofa, hurry, go to sleep, obedient!" ”

Xiaomei and Qi Jie both sighed, and the crisp female harmony of a warbler made Tang Yi's heart beat when he heard it, and his heart was full of man's pride.

Xiaomei and Qi Jie can't sleep well without taking a bath, Tang Yi is a feast for his eyes in the living room, Xiaomei took a bath first, wrapped in a white bath towel when she came out of the bathroom, watching Xiaomei Fairy out of the bath, snow-white and creamy shoulders, crystal jade calves, and the blown-up feet in the pink slippers, Tang Yi was a burst of enthusiasm, and he had the urge to enter the room with Xiaomei, but fortunately, he was still sensible and barely held back.

Just when Tang Yi was still reminiscing, Qi Jie didn't know when to enter the bathroom, and came out wrapped in a white bath towel, with a delicate face, a charming curved figure, snow-white round legs, and small feet painted with light purple colored nails, but it made Tang Yi, who was tasting the beauty of the little sister, even more bloody, staring at Qi Jie into the guest room.

Looking at the two tightly closed doors, thinking of the two superb ** with different styles, Tang Yi smiled bitterly, the night of the century, for himself, it was really a difficult night and a sleepless night!
