Chapter Ninety-Two: The Thank-You Banquet
In the car that sent Chen Ke and Chen's mother to the airport, Chen Ke had red eyes, hugged Tang Yi's neck and refused to let go, since she was pregnant, she seemed to have become the obsessive little girl she used to be.
Chen Fangyuan, who was driving an RV in front, saw his daughter coquettish from the rearview mirror, and smiled slightly, now that he has fully accepted the relationship between Tang Yi and Chen Ke, he was slightly more excited, especially when he saw Tang Yi loving his daughter so much, Chen Fangyuan couldn't help but feel comforted, after all, Tang Yi can't be asked of ordinary people's standards.
Beside Chen Ke, there was a handsome girl who was not smiling, her name was Ah Jiu, Xiao Jinhua was sent from the United States to pick up Chen Ke's mother and daughter.
"Brother, I'll come to see you when I miss you in the future!" Chen Ke was in Tang Yi's arms and said softly.
"That's what happened! Flying with a big belly? What should I do if I bump into it? Chen's mother turned around and interjected, which made Lao Chen shake his head for a while, this wife is really a bad scenery.
Chen Ke began to cry, the previous strength had long since disappeared, Tang Yi smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to see you then!" ”
"It's a lie again! I know it's hard for you to go abroad now, big liar! Chen Ke wiped his tears and pursed his lips.
Tang Yi just smiled, the little girl is not degraded, but after pregnancy, the hidden softness is just shown. Gently rubbing her head, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go to see you." ”.
Chen Ke nodded.
Seeing Chen Ke enter the boarding gate in the airport hall, Tang Yi came to the glass window of the hall again, and the mobile phone sounded, which was a text message from Chen Ke, "Brother, the consequences of not coming to see me are serious, when the baby is born, he will be the first to call my mother, I don't teach him to call Dad, hehe." ”
Tang Yi smiled slightly, his heart was warm, watching the planes at the airport take off and land, and he didn't know how long he stayed before he slowly turned around and walked towards the exit of the hall.
The next night, Tang Yi received a video call from Chen Ke, and Tang Yi was relieved when he saw his mother on the screen lovingly hugging Chen Ke to greet him.
"Brother, Mom is good to me!" Chen Ke's face turned red after he finished speaking, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, it was Bo Bai's mother who asked me to call it that." Although Chen Ke himself knew that he could only call it that way when no one was around, he still couldn't hide his happy expression.
Tang Yi was helpless for a while, probably my mother has gradually liked the feeling of having a group of daughters-in-law with different styles calling her "Mom", as far as Tang Yi knows, when carrying people, Qi Jie also called her like this.
Of course, Tang Yi believed that his mother would never give Qi Jie and Chen Ke a chance to meet.
Xiao Jinhua smiled and said: "Silly boy, if you have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, you won't introduce it to me earlier, see how I clean you up!" ”
The background of the screen is an antique decoration that looks like the bedroom of an ancient princess's boudoir, Tang Yi smiled and said, "Mom, you didn't invite a few palace maids?" ”
"Go! It's not serious! Xiao Jinhua snorted, hugged Chen Ke, and said, "Silly boy, you should have time to see your mother this time, right?" ”
Tang Yi was a little sneering, but Chen Ke argued for Tang Yi, "Aunt, if you go abroad at the deputy ministerial level, you need the approval of the central government, especially when you come to Western countries, the review is particularly strict, and now that Tang Yi is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, it is even more difficult to go abroad." ”
Xiao Jinhua was helpless for a while, led by the little sister, how can these girls all have a virtue, they know how to protect Tang Yi, the little sister is the most obvious, look at the posture If Tang Yi quarrels with herself, she dares to follow. glared at Tang Yi fiercely, Tang Yi smiled, and hurriedly talked about him left and right, lest his childlike mother have some problems and embarrass herself.
At the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Tang Yi was still thinking about the sweetness of chatting with his mother Chen Ke last night, and even heard Wang Wenzhuo make a surprise attack, and he didn't have any objection to a personnel appointment that was not mentioned at the secretary's office meeting two days ago, but just smiled and listened to him.
Wang Wenzhuo proposed that Comrade Shen Xiyun, director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, concurrently serve as an assistant to the mayor, so as to prompt the government to further do a good job in macroeconomic regulation and control of the Yellow Sea economy.
The Reform Commission is naturally a heavyweight department, Tang Yi came to the Yellow Sea, and the first batch of departments he wanted to control included the National Development and Reform Commission, and he has been trying to replace Shen Xiyun, but he has never been able to do it, of course, after Tang Yi basically controlled the situation in the Yellow Sea in the later period, Shen Xiyun also began to clamp his tail and actively cooperate with Tang Yi's work, and Tang Yizi no longer deliberately embarrassed him.
Wang Lizhen was the first to oppose Wang Wenzhuo's proposal, she frowned and said: "In similar cities, our government deputy positions have been overnumbered, and the number of mayor's assistants is also in the forefront, right?" I heard that there are now calls from the central government to reduce the number of deputies, why do we go the opposite way? Isn't that right? ”
Wang Lizhen took a sip of tea, paused, and her voice became more serious, "Also, why don't personnel appointments go through normal channels?" Why didn't it go through the organization department and the secretary's office meeting? I'm not against Comrade Xiyun, I'm against this kind of atmosphere! ”
No one would have imagined that Wang Lizhen would still be so mean, after all, after Tang Yi took office, the First Standing Committee asked the team to be united, and there were opinions to be spoken, but it was necessary to pay attention to the tone and not to turn the Standing Committee into a criticism meeting and a quarrel meeting.
Wang Wenzhuo frowned, bowed his head and said nothing.
Tang Yi actually didn't care, now that the situation in the Yellow Sea is basically in his hands, it's time to take a breath over there, he can't feel that he is aggressive, and he wants to beat them down completely, otherwise the backlash will be enough for a headache, but Wang Lizhen spoke against it, Tang Yi of course had to take care of her emotions, so he smiled and said: "Let's discuss it again, please ask the Organization Department and Secretary Wang to study and study it again." ”
Wang Wenzhuo nodded and said yes, looking at Wang Lizhen's eyes, it was a little cold, but how could Wang Lizhen care? In the past few years, there have been many people who want her to die, but now she can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai and has her own set of guidelines.
After the Standing Committee was dispersed, Tang Yi went to the old cadres activity center to participate in an event, and took a group photo with the old cadres.
After getting on the Audi, I found that it was not far from No. 1 Middle School, so Tang Yi smiled and said, "Go to No. 1 Middle School and invite Bao'er to have a meal." "It's still during the summer vacation, but the third year of high school has started early, Tang Yi naturally wants to reward Bao'er who has worked hard, as for whether it's so hard, where does Tang Yi care?
In the car, Tang Yi sent a text message to Bao'er, No. 1 Middle School does not allow students to bring mobile phones, but Tang Yi knew that Bao'er must bring it, and even turn on the computer in class. Because Tang Yi was bored, he wanted to tease Bao'er, and the phone called in the afternoon, and sure enough, the machine was turned on, and Bao'er was panting for a while to connect the phone, and excitedly asked his uncle what was the matter, but Tang Yi didn't dare to say that it was okay, otherwise Bao'er would not be angry? made up a set of nonsense, pretending to care about her studies. Listening to Bao'er's belief and happily reporting to himself about the entrance examination, Tang Yi was a little ashamed.
The text message was sent, and the Audi slowly stopped near the gate of No. 1 Middle School, but saw a group of people at the school gate, and the male and female students wearing beautiful school uniforms were red and green, as if they were sending off the leader, Xiao Wu turned around and said: "It's Deputy Mayor Duan's car." ”
Tang Yi nodded, Duan Hejun over there also saw Tang Yi's car, and hurriedly said hello to the principal of Xin Rengao, who was shaking hands with him and saying goodbye, and strode over, Hu Xiaoqiu hurriedly got out of the car and helped Tang Yi open the car door.
Tang Yi shook Duan Hejun's hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Mayor Hejun has grasped education, I can rest assured." ”
Duan Hejun said again and again that he was ashamed, in this year's college entrance examination, the provincial champions in arts and sciences are all from Huanghai No. 1 Middle School, and the new principal of Gao is the door of Duan Hejun, Duan Hejun naturally wants to personally participate in the celebration meeting of No. 1 Middle School as the principal of Gao Gao.
Tang Yi glanced at the teachers and students who were looking over not far away, and said with a smile: "That's the principal of No. 1 Middle School, right?" ”
Duan Hejun turned around and beckoned to Principal Gao, Principal Gao hurriedly walked over, he was the former principal of Huanghai No. 16 Middle School, although the fight for this position was somewhat because Duan Hejun's daughter-in-law was friendly with his daughter, so that he knew Duan Hejun, but his own ability was sufficient.
Principal Gao naturally recognized Tang Yi, and shook hands with Tang Yi in a restrained manner, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Comrade President must work hard to cultivate more useful talents for our country. ”
Principal Gao nodded hurriedly and said yes.
Duan Hejun asked, "Secretary Tang is passing by?" ”.
Tang Yi said: "No, my little niece is in her third year of high school in No. 1 Middle School, and I came to pick her up for a meal and supplement her nutrition." Laughing as he spoke, Principal Gao hurriedly asked, "What class are you in?" What is your name? I'm going to call her. ”
Tang Yi smiled and said no, and it was not good to tell people that Bao'er brought a mobile phone to class.
Duan Hejun smiled and said, "It's called Zhuo Bao'er, right?" I know her, the little girl is beautiful and smart, and she is in the top 10 of her grade in every exam, right? When the former Principal Guo was downcast, Duan Hejun faintly knew the inside story, someone intimidated the parents of the students who boycotted the class, and even intimidated Tang Yi's head, Duan Hejun naturally understood that the student involved was Zhuo Baoer, Duan Hejun paid attention, and even the principal of the same high school didn't say it, and now seeing that Tang Yi didn't avoid taboos, he said it.
Principal Gao was stunned, no wonder Deputy Mayor Duan inquired about the situation of this Zhuo Baoer, it turned out to be Tang Shu's niece, although he came to No. 1 Middle School not long ago, he had also heard of this Zhuo Baoer, naughty and mischievous, and heard that he also had dealings with ruffians in society, but she was smart and beautiful, her academic performance was excellent, and the teachers' evaluation of her was also two extremes, some liked her very much, and some regarded her as a thorn in the side.
Tang Yi looked at his watch at this time, frowned slightly, and said in his heart, Bao'er didn't turn on?
"Uncle!" Bao'er's crisp voice, at the gate, she waved her little hand at Tang Yi excitedly, wearing a beautiful blue school skirt and a cute bow tie, Bao'er was slim.
Tang Yi smiled, Bao'er had already pulled the beautiful female classmates next to her and ran over, and when she arrived, she complained angrily, "Our head teacher was right in front of you when you texted, her ears were special, and when she heard the ringing bell, she just didn't allow me to come out, saying that you were a gangster in society, and she was angry with me!" She was just through the crowd, and she didn't see the people around Tang Yi clearly, and when she turned her head, she saw Principal Gao, and when she saw her uncle's embarrassed face, she knew that she was in trouble, so she hurriedly called out to the principal, shrugged her little head, and looked like she had done something wrong.
Tang Yi was embarrassed, Bao'er took her mobile phone to class, and she also sent her a text message, which was really a bit unusual.
Duan Hejun laughed and said, "What a smart little girl, Zhuo Bao'er, I heard that your grades are all in the top ten in your grade, right?" Bao'er said a few words, and Duan Hejun knew how much Tang Yi loved this little niece.
Bao'er nodded, and didn't squeak, now she only pretends to be a good baby, so as not to make her uncle angry.
Tang Yi frowned and said, "I can't control the stubborn ones, so I have to discipline Principal Gao strictly." ”
Principal Gao smiled and nodded, and said in his heart that you spoil her so much, who dares to care about her? I also sighed in my heart, complaining that Zhuo Baoer was so naughty, it turned out that the root cause was here.
"Principal Gao!" In the woman's gentle voice, Principal Gao turned around and said with a smile: "Teacher Guo, you came just in time, meet Secretary Tang, your class of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, do you know?" Your proud disciple is Secretary Tang's niece, tell Secretary Tang what I used to say to Kuazhuo Bao'er, so that Secretary Tang will be happy. ”
It was a young woman in her early thirties, wearing glasses, Bao'er's homeroom teacher, surnamed Guo, Teacher Guo liked Bao'er very much, and when she saw Bao'er's text message, she was worried that she would come into contact with undesirable teenagers outside the school, so she came out to see, not wanting to bump into such a scene.
After Tang Yi shook hands with Teacher Guo and said hello, he smiled and waved to a few people, "Let's go, let's go have a meal together." ”
Duan Hejun hurriedly said okay, Principal Gao was inconvenient to answer, but his heart was excited, Teacher Guo hesitated and said, "I won't go, right?" ”
Tang Yi said: "Then what's the matter, you are Bao'er's homeroom teacher, and this meal is a bribe for you." ”
Everyone laughed, and Mr. Guo restrained himself for a while, not wanting this young secretary to be quite funny.
Tang Yi turned to Bao'er again; "Come, get in the car with your little ones, and go together." Bao'er nodded obediently and pulled Liu Xiaohui into the Audi.
In the car, Bao'er opened the conversation box and said with a smile: "Uncle, you won't listen to biased beliefs, right?" ”
Tang Yi laughed, the little guy also knew how to use words, knowing that Bao'er was worried about the head teacher's complaint, so she was the first to give herself a mystery, but Bao'er naturally didn't understand, how could Principal Gao and Teacher Guo say bad things about her in front of her?
Liu Xiaohui sat restrainedly by the window, put her hands on her knees, and secretly listened to Bao'er and Tang Yi talking, she was also the first to know that the idol uncle who often hung on Bao'er's lips turned out to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, although it was difficult for high school students to understand what the concept of the secretary of the municipal party committee was, but she still couldn't help but get nervous in this kind of big official's car.
Audi in front, Duan Hejun and Principal Gao's car behind, slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the New York Hotel, sitting in the Principal's car, Mr. Guo said: "New York Hotel, I came first, I heard that it is inlaid with gold, and the food is ridiculously expensive. Principal Gao smiled while parking: "Home-cooked food is not too expensive." ”
He had a treat at the New York Hotel to entertain friends of the Provincial Department of Education, but he didn't know who wrote to sue him, but the inspection office was responding to the spirit of the Municipal Party Committee document, and the typical example of eating and drinking with public funds was arrested.
Teacher Guo naturally knew his taboo, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.
In the No. 3 box of the Chinese restaurant, Tang Yi sat at the head, smiling and asking everyone to ask for food, Xiao Wu, Hu Xiaoqiu and Duan Hejun's driver Xiao Wang were also called to the table, Tang Yi said that this is a thank-you banquet, Bao'er can sit, naturally they want to sit down, and said with a smile: "Principal Gao, Teacher Guo, today I am Bao'er's parents, not the secretary of the municipal party committee, Bao'er, this child is ignorant and disobedient, let the two of you worry, if you do anything wrong, you two will criticize." ”
Principal Gao and Teacher Guo naturally praised Bao'er, Bao'er was a little inexplicable, especially the rosacea principal, every Bao'er didn't take care of him when she saw him, because she felt that his rosacea was disgusting, but now the principal praised her for being "smart, sensible and polite", Bao'er was a little embarrassed, thinking that this rosacea principal was still a little cute, of course, Bao'er also knew that they were afraid of their uncle, but they didn't necessarily really like themselves.
When ordering, the menu was naturally the first to be handed to Duan Hejun, and Duan Hejun smiled: "The secretary pays out of his own pocket, so I'll order it casually!" "It's a cheap vegetarian dish.
Everyone has heard of Tang Yi's hospitality outside and paid out of his own pocket in the compound of the Municipal Party Committee, but many people don't believe it, thinking that Liu Yiwang and Fan Feng, the two directors of the Administration of Organ Affairs and Director Du of the Finance Department of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, are making up nonsense, but in fact, they still eat as much as they want. With Tang Yi's current position, the annual reception fee is hundreds of thousands, and if the expenditure is overrun, it needs to be approved by the Organ Affairs Administration, which is actually equivalent to no limit.
Duan Hejun is naturally not clear about Tang Yi's financial expenditures, and he doesn't believe that Tang Yi really pays for all his private banquets, but since Liu Yiwang and Fan Feng swear, whether it is true or not, this meal has to be saved.
Duan Hejun set the tone, Principal Gao and Teacher Guo would not ask for expensive dishes, Tang Yi smiled: "It's all home-cooked food, it's good." "Finally, I ordered four braised South African heads, one per person, four abalone refers to four dried fish per city catty, the bigger the more valuable it is, South African dried abalone belongs to the middle range, which is far from the best in Japan, despite this, each of the four heads also costs hundreds of yuan, and the price of the New York Hotel is 688 yuan each.
Tang Yi immediately handed the menu to Bao'er and Xiaohui, seeing Bao'er sullenly flipping through the menu, Tang Yi began to be a little strange, and then understood that when he came to the New York Hotel, Bao'er naturally wanted to eat the ice cream here, so he smiled and said to the waiter: "Bring your dessert menu, our children want to eat ice cream." ”
Bao'er was happy, but thinking that she had shown herself too obviously just now, her uncle was afraid that he would feel that the bigger he was, the more greedy he became, so he couldn't help but worry.
At the dinner table, Tang Yi smiled and chatted with Principal Gao about the teaching of No. 1 Middle School, and asked about Mr. Guo's performance in school. Although I heard that Bao'er was quite familiar with Sister Feng, who opened an Internet café on the street, Mr. Guo was a little worried, but after all, he didn't dare to say these words to Tang Yi, and he could just order them.
Tang Yi smiled and nodded, he had a little more affection for Teacher Guo, this is a good teacher who is responsible for students. He turned his head to Bao'er and said, "I will listen to Mr. Guo in the future, do you know?" ”.
Boa slowly enjoyed the ice cream and nodded obediently.
To be able to sit at the same table with the secretary of the municipal party committee, Principal Gao may still have some hope, for Mr. Guo, but he never dreamed of an adventure, he ate fish for the first time in his life, and the taste was indeed delicious, especially to Mr. Guo's delight was that Bao'er was very sensible and gave her a chopstick rabbit meat, it seems that Bao'er likes her very much as the head teacher, and earns enough face in front of Secretary Tang, after all, there are few high school students who are so good at the field, let alone a little princess and little emperor like Bao'er. Looking at Principal Gao's happy eyes, you can know that Principal Gao also feels that there is light on his face, Teacher Guo is very happy, he used to like Bao'er, and now he thinks Bao'er is very cute.
When the banquet was dismissed, Tang Yi left a personal business card for Principal Gao and Teacher Guo, saying that Bao'er would call him if he had a problem, and said to Teacher Guo: "Teacher Guo, Bao'er will be handed over to you, I can rest assured." Teacher Guo felt light and fluttering, and nodded in agreement.
Sent Bao'er and Xiaohui back to school, sat in the Audi, looked back at Duan Hejun and his party who saw the Audi leave, and looked at Bao'er's figure, Tang Yi sighed softly, and during the meal, Bao'er secretly said to Tang Yi that she wanted to go home at night, and she was happy after seeing Uncle Tang, and wanted to get tired of Uncle Tang for one night. Tang Yi didn't agree, Bao'er seemed a little uncomfortable, and Tang Yi felt a little uncomfortable.
The mood is low, the music on the mobile phone sounds, it is Dazhi calling, reporting to Tang Yi about the contact with Gao Ting in the past few days, although Tang Yi has not moved Cao Xingxin's mind for the time being, but think about what Xi'er said is also right, since there is an opportunity, you can't miss it, you want Dazhi to contact Gao Ting privately to get closer, it may come in handy in the future, Gao Ting, a woman who quarrels for a little thing, is really a taboo in officialdom, and she can't touch it, I don't know how Cao Xingxin will have a relationship with her.
Hung up Dazhi's phone, Tang Yi naturally remembered the headache Xi'er, but I really don't know how to deal with her, these days, Xi'er has stopped, just like a real nanny, she doesn't say a word, and I don't know what she is thinking, a few days ago she suddenly showed a lot, naturally it was a tentative attempt, to see if there could be any changes in the relationship with herself, to further observe herself in order to think of a way to get out, after failure, she naturally will not be reconciled, It's just that I don't know what I'm thinking again, if it weren't for not wanting to attract anyone's attention, Tang Yi really wanted to send someone to monitor her twenty-four hours a day.
After thinking for a while, Tang Yi shook his head, first observe and observe, there is really no way to hand her over, now think more about tomorrow's trip to Beijing.
Tang Yi took out a document from his briefcase and looked at it silently, tomorrow, he was going to go to the ministry for a walk, and it was best to say that Minister Sun of the Ministry of Agriculture would support the reform of the big farm in the Yellow Sea.
Exemption from agricultural tax, Tang Yi from various sources of the news, should not be a big problem, in the early stage may be the first in a province to try out, of course, the time should be postponed to after the election, after all, now is the critical period of the election, everyone's focus is on this real succession struggle.
However, the resistance to the reform of the big farm is great, even if the Tang department itself has a favorable attitude towards Tang Yi's opinion, but the real support for this plan is not advantageous, and some heavyweights think that it is a little urgent. But Tang Yi is not discouraged, he knows that everything can be operated, if he can get the support of Minister Sun of the Ministry of Agriculture, in terms of this proposal, it may even be more convincing than the support of a powerful person, with the assistance of several henchmen in the Political Research Office, Tang Yi cautiously wrote a plan, just a town in Taizhou City as a pilot, the impact will be minimized, and you can learn from the experience and teaching, Tang Yi feels that if Minister Sun supports, there is still a certain feasibility. But how can you convince Minister Sun? Tang Yi leaned back in his seat and pondered silently.
