In the spacious and bright mayor's office in the municipal government office building, Chen Yang was slowly taking a sip of a new cup of tea that the secretary had just made for him, and his eyes were a little wandering at a copy of today's People's Daily on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

Assistant to the mayor Guo Detian was also in his office at this time, but Guo Detian was not as leisurely and calm as Chen Yang at the moment, his face was gloomy, and he was a little anxious that could not be concealed, although he was also holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he couldn't drink it in a sip, seeing that Chen Yang had been leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper since he returned to the office, he waited for about twenty minutes, he couldn't help it, so he asked anxiously: "Teacher, this will be done by that old man like this, Zhou Wangnan is afraid that he is prepared, Knowing that we were going to move him, we had to make some moves. Teacher, I personally advise, you should still ask Wanping to do it immediately, I don't believe it, this Zhou Wangnan has been working in the Finance Bureau for almost ten years, and there is no dirt under his buttocks? Even if you find a watch or a famous pen or something, we will have a chance, I believe that as long as you nod, Wanping will definitely implement it meticulously, alas, it's a pity that this is not the Lingxi Finance Department, otherwise I have to make this old boy look good. ”

Guo Detian finished his words in one breath, as the so-called Lord humiliated the ministers to death, he was Chen Yang's person, at this juncture, seeing that Zhou Wangnan had a soft and hard attitude at the meeting, he was naturally anxious for Chen Yang in his heart, and at this time, there were some things that he could only understand and blurted out without hesitation.

Hearing this, Chen Yang slowly put down the teacup in the palm of his hand, and glanced at Guo Detian with a smile: "Hehe." Tokuda, it seems that you have learned a lot after staying in Lingxi for so long. ”

Guo Detian smiled embarrassedly, there have been many major events in Lingxi officialdom in recent years that have shaken the central government. Many of them are because of the infighting, which also makes the outside world not have a high evaluation of the cadres who came out of Lingxi, and they all say that the cadres who came out of that place have no ability, but they have a hand in playing tricks with each other, of course, airborne cards like Chen Yang do not belong to this ranks. But he still looked worried, "Teacher." Listening to Wanping, now the Municipal Finance Bureau is ironclad, and almost all of the old qualification deputy bureaus are Zhou, if we don't move. I'm afraid that even if you change people, it will be difficult for you to use it smoothly, and financial eloquence has always been the top priority of the government's work.

He didn't finish his sentence. Chen Yang waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, Detian, I understand what you mean, and I also know what you want to say." ”

"But. Teacher" Guo Detian wanted to say a few more words, but he glanced at Chen Yang. Still held the words back into his stomach.

Chen Yang glanced at him, knowing that he was anxious for himself from the bottom of his heart. But now is obviously not the time to be anxious, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to mess things up, Zhou Wangnan He must move, as for how to move, he already has an immature idea in his heart, but it is not convenient to say it for the time being. He believed that as long as Zhou Wangnan's buttocks were not clean, he would definitely catch his sore feet, or he would not move for the time being, and if he wanted to move this person, he would have to make Gao Ming unable to speak to protect him, otherwise he would only let those cadres who were watching see his jokes.

Seeing Guo Detian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Yang smiled slightly, took out a cigarette from the drawer, took one out, and scattered another one to Guo Detian.

Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled and comforted him: "Detian, you are now helping me in charge of finance and taxation, I believe in your ability, you just need to do your part well, as for other things, some things are in a hurry and cannot be rushed, I know in my heart." ”

Seeing Chen Yang say this, and then looking at Chen Yang's determined expression, Guo Detian was also certain in his heart, he absolutely admired Teacher Chen's ability, so he didn't say much, but picked up the delicate cigarette holder while smoking and took a closer look, "Teacher, your cigarette is smoking a better point than the last time, I'm afraid it's not a southern cigarette." ”

When he was studying in the party school, he ran to Mr. Chen's house a lot, and naturally knew that Mr. Chen's house was full of special goods, which were rare to see on weekdays, and there was no place to buy things if he had money.

"Hehe, you know the goods." Chen Yang knew that he was greedy, so he smiled and said, "This cigarette is not bad, I took it from home last time, you can take it back and smoke it." ”

"Teacher Chen, then I'm welcome." Guo Detian immediately put it in his pocket as he spoke, as if he was afraid that Chen Yang would regret it.

At this time, Lin Gang knocked on the door and came in, saying that a few peasant representatives from Huadong County had come to the city government again to see the mayor, Chen Yang knew that these peasant representatives must have come to ask for land requisition compensation for the villagers who had been requisitioned for the land of the big farm project, and he had been here several times before, but he had no money in his hand now, but he didn't see these people, and after thinking about it, he asked Guo Detian to go out to deal with it.

After Guo Detian left, Chen Yang got up and walked to the edge of the windowsill, looking at the courtyard below and silently distracted for a while.

After a while, he closed the curtains, then walked back to his desk, picked up his phone, and dialed a call.

"Lin Yu? Well, is it me you're back to Yanjing? No, that's just right, no, I'm going to ask Ding Xiaoling about something, the sooner the better. ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile on his face, this girl, it's been more than a week, and she is still staying in the government guest house, and she blames herself for being negligent, as soon as she gets busy, she throws people in the guest house and ignores them, and this girl is still stupidly waiting for her phone call in the guest house, but thinking about it, it saves trouble, and she just has something to ask Ding Xiaoling.

After getting off work that night, Chen Yang went directly back to the small villa of the Standing Committee, and it was almost seven o'clock, Lin Gang went to the guest house to pick up Lin Yu and Ding Xiaoling under Chen Yang's instructions.

It's not that Chen Yang intends to greet them at home, it's really that Lin Yu is too famous, and if he eats out and talks about things. I'm afraid that no hotel will be able to live in peace, so he thought about it and simply brought people directly to the Standing Committee, which is the biggest benefit. Quiet.

When the two arrived, Chen Yang had just returned home not long ago, and when he saw someone coming, he didn't rest, and directly ordered: "Lin Gang, you can have a meal with me in a while, and then leave later." ”

"Okay, Mayor."

Lin Gang replied respectfully, and he did not have any complaints because his boss asked him to work overtime temporarily. On the contrary, he felt extremely excited because of Chen Yang's casual words, no wonder, this was after he followed Chen Yang for several months. The first time he dined at the boss's house, it meant that he had gradually integrated into the boss's life circle, could he not be excited?

And Chen Yang ignored the easily excited secretary beside him, and he said directly to Ding Xiaoling: "You are Ding Xiaoling, right?" He saw Ding Xiaoling that night, but at that time, Ding Xiaoling's face was slapped into a pig's head. At this time, although he was a little impressed, he still asked more.

In the past few days, Ding Xiaoling has already learned that she was rescued from the clutches of someone, and at this time, she once again faced this cow who could let Huang Guoqing let people go obediently with a word. She was in awe in addition to awe.

"Yes. Yes, I'm Ding Xiaoling. Mayor Chen. She nodded hurriedly.

"Well, I have something I want to talk to you about alone, you come with me to the study."

Chen Yang didn't say half a word of nonsense, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and went up to the second floor first.

Although Ding Xiaoling's heart was tight, she quickly squeezed her palms and followed.

Soon, in the spacious hall below, only Lin Yu and Lin Gang were left.

"Miss Lin, please sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Lin Gang greeted Lin Yu very politely, he doesn't chase stars, but Lin Yu's fame is too great, he naturally knows Lin Yu's name, so he is particularly polite when he speaks. Of course, at this time, he had been with Chen Yang for a short time, and he didn't know that Chen Yang and Lin Yu were old acquaintances, otherwise, he would never take himself for granted as the master of this house.

"Oh, okay, Secretary Lin."

Lin Yu responded politely, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room very obediently. However, as she spoke, it was not difficult to see that the expression on her face was obviously a little depressed.

Also, although she knew that Chen Yang must have something to see Ding Xiaoling, she was still overjoyed after receiving Chen Yang's call, and quickly used the little time to dress herself up, but when she got here, Chen Yang didn't even look at her carefully, and she didn't even bother to say a word to her, so she directly called Ding Xiaoling to the study to talk about things, which made her inevitably feel a little left out, and girls, sensitive points are also very normal.

I had been to Chen Yang's home on Haibin Road before, but it was the first time she came back to the small building of the Standing Committee, so after sitting down, she began to carefully observe the layout of the living room.

Is this also Mayor Chen's home in Huahai? Why does this place look so deserted!

Lin Yu silently compared this with Chen Yang's villa on Haibin Road in his heart.

"Miss Lin, please have tea."

At this time, Lin Gang came over with a cup of steaming tea, which interrupted Lin Yu's reverie.

"Oh, thank you, Secretary Lin." Lin Yu has never been a big star, and after taking the teacup, he hurriedly thanked him.

And Lin Gang seemed to be afraid of snubbing the mayor's friend, so he also sat down, but he knew the rules very well, even if Chen Yang was not here now, he still sat on a single sofa, and then took the initiative to talk to Lin Yu.

"Hehe, Miss Lin, you are more beautiful than photogenic, I have two loyal fans of yours in my family, one big and one small, if they know that I am sitting here chatting with you now, they will be jealous."

Lin Gang complimented with a smile, but what he said was not bad, his lover and six-year-old baby son were both fans of Lin Yu.

"Oh, yes, I'll sign two names for you later." After all, Lin Yu is not strong in social skills, and when she sees the enthusiasm of others, she habitually takes the initiative to do something for others, and the most she does to her fans is to sign autographs. didn't know that her words were easy to dislike.

Fortunately, Lin Gang didn't care, and said happily: "Okay, then I'll thank Miss Lin for my lover and son first." ”

After all, the two didn't know each other well and chatted for a while. There wasn't much to talk about, so Lin Gang unconsciously asked more: "Oh, that's right, Miss Lin." Have you known Mayor Chen for a long time? ”

After asking, he couldn't wait to slap himself on the spot, for fear that if this Lin Yu and the boss were old acquaintances, it would be inappropriate for this word to reach the boss's ears. Asking about the boss's secrets is a big taboo for being a secretary.

But he will come whatever he is afraid of, Lin Yu heard him ask this, and a strange look immediately flashed on her face, but she still whispered back a little shyly: "Well, I have known Secretary Chen ten years ago." ”

"Shhh

Lin Gang gasped. This surprise was not trivial, and he forgot all the taboos at once, and almost blurted out a question: "You knew our mayor ten years ago?" ”

"Hmm."

The shame on Lin Yu's face was even stronger, but his eyes flashed with pride and agility. Arguably. Chen Yang's inadvertent move changed the trajectory of her life, although over the years, she has not been able to be by Chen Yang's side all the time, but every time those short but profound memories come to her mind one by one. But she could always feel Chen Yang's existence, as if she had never left him.

Lin Gang can gradually be recognized by Chen Yang, and he is naturally a master with excellent ability to observe words and colors. At this time, he heard Lin Yu nod his head happily again, and when he saw Lin Yu's expression again, he seemed to be a little embarrassed. Naturally, he immediately wanted to be crooked. But even so, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Miss Lin, I often hear my family say that you are only twenty-five years old this year, ten years ago, then you should still be in middle school."

It seems that everyone likes gossip, and Secretary Lin is no exception at this time.

"Well, I studied earlier, and I was only a freshman in the county high school at that time, thanks to Secretary Chen's help, I can have today's life." Lin Yu didn't seem to be afraid of the people who worked beside Chen Yang, and naturally answered Lin Gang's question.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Gang suddenly realized, but he couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart, hey, this is very good, the boss is really eyesighted, could it be that he had already seen that Lin Yu was a big star ten years ago, if it were me, what am I still doing here, guarding such a cash cow every day, how chic it will be on that day.

After chatting, the two seemed to be familiar with each other, and Lin Yu was not as restrained as when she first came in, she turned her head to look at the open kitchen in the distance, and with a thought in her heart, she asked, "By the way, Secretary Lin, has Secretary Chen had dinner?" ”

Lin Gang also suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, just now the boss said to stay with him to eat, but there was no nanny in this house, and there didn't seem to be any fresh ingredients, could it be that he would let himself eat on the table later?

Thinking of this, he quickly got up and said, "Miss Lin, I see that the mayor didn't have time to eat, so let's sit here for a while, and I'll go out and buy some food and come back." ”

Lin Yu was also a little anxious when she heard this, she knew that although Chen Yang was in good health, he had been guilty of stomach problems for a long time before, so she hurriedly said: "Oh, okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to steam the rice first, by the way, there should be some frozen meat in the kitchen, I'll take it out and thaw it first, Secretary Lin, you just buy some vegetables and come back, oh, also, Secretary Chen, he likes to eat some fresh and tender bamboo shoots, don't buy it wrong." ”

After that, no matter what Lin Gang's reaction was, he got up anxiously and ran towards the kitchen.

Lin Gang was dumbfounded, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, at this time, he had already seen Lin Yu busy in the kitchen from a distance, and he was even more surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly went out to the nearby vegetable market to buy.

When the two were busy in the living room below, Chen Yang was in the study upstairs and had been chatting with Ding Xiaoling.

"Well, Miss Ding, I have something I want to know from you, you don't have to be too nervous, just answer truthfully."

"Oh, okay, okay, Mayor Chen."

Ding Xiaoling looked obviously very restrained, half of her butt sat on the chair in front of Chen Yang's desk, but she didn't dare to come out, but Chen Yang asked, and she replied cautiously.

"Well, I'll make a long story short, I came to you mainly to find out if you saw some other people in Huang Guoqing's club that night. Well, let's say the cadres of government departments? ”

Ding Xiaoling bit her lip and tried to recall, and then replied carefully: "Mayor Chen, I will go to Mr. Huang with Xiaoyu." Oh no, when I went to find Huang Guoqing, it seemed that I saw Huang Guoqing eating with a few men, I looked at them, it looked like they were working in a government department, but as soon as we entered the box, Huang Guoqing asked them to go to another place, I'm not sure if they are the people you want to ask. ”

"Oh?"

Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that his guess was not much wrong, and according to some information he had found, Huang Guoqing participated in the bidding for the Huahai City Paradise project, and also won a project. It is a commercial building in East China contracted by his Beijing Investment Industrial, but the project has been largely completed, and it is still in the acceptance stage. It is nothing more than to collect the balance of the project, these things are normal, although the Huahai Municipal Government is the debtor, but as long as the money is not transferred to the other party's account for a day. The local government of Huahai is the uncle, and the other party can only accompany and be careful.

Merely. This kind of dinner does not seem to be out of line, and no one stipulates that Zhou Wangnan, the director of the financial bureau, cannot have a few good businessman friends. What's more, there are countless dinners like this in Huahai almost every day, and it can't prove anything more, as long as the accounts allocated by the Finance Bureau are okay, and even some payments in advance are not a big deal, and it is definitely not enough to have any substantial adverse effects on Zhou Wangnan.

Of course, if it was just that simple, Chen Yang would not have called Ding Xiaoling over in private. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Huang Guoqing was not a pure serious businessman, this person could do everything, and even most of the people in the upper class circle in Yanjing knew that this person had opened a private club of a large scale, and the club involved providing a venue for guests to gather together for gambling and recreation, and it seemed that the fight was still very large, which was already an open secret in the circle, everyone liked to go to his place to play, and he was an official, so how good could he be?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang was even more sure in his heart, and then continued to ask: "Miss Ding, I heard Lin Yu talk about you before, do you often go to Huang Guoqing's club to play?" ”

Ding Xiaoling's heart tightened when she heard this, as if she was afraid that Chen Yang would check her old accounts, after all, Chen Yang's identity was terrifying, and for a while, the look on her face began to become afraid and hesitate, and she didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

"Miss Ding, you don't have to be nervous, I don't mean to pursue you, I just want to know, when you went to play, did you see those people in the box?" Chen Yang asked very directly.

Ding Xiaoling's heart was relieved, and she seemed to recall it carefully, before she whispered back: "Mayor Chen, I, I really haven't been there much, and in my impression, I should, I shouldn't have seen those men." ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Yang looked directly at Ding Xiaoling.

Ding Xiaoling panicked, for fear that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly said in a voice like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "However, but that night, I remember that Huang Guoqing's subordinates told me that I would go out of the thousands to go to the bureau to get a few Kaizi, oh, that's it, it's those men." ”

"Let you go to a thousand of them?"

Ding Xiaoling's words surprised Chen Yang.

Perhaps thinking that Chen Yang's gaze was too sharp, Ding Xiaoling was a little shocked in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head and whispered: "Yes, yes, but, but Mayor Chen, don't get me wrong, you believe me, I really didn't promise them, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten so badly that night." ”

"Hehe, that's kind of interesting." Chen Yang smiled, "Don't be nervous, tell me more about this in detail." ”

"Oh, okay, Mayor Chen."

Ding Xiaoling nodded hurriedly in response.

Next, she truthfully told the conditions that Huang Guoqing put forward to her that night.

It turned out that in addition to extorting a large amount of money from her, Huang Guoqing also made another request to her, that is, to let her also participate in a gambling game, after all, although she is only a second-tier star, but she is still a little well-known, adding her to the gambling game, it is not easy to make a few shrewd old slippers suspicious, and what is even more rare is that this woman will also order a thousand techniques, so it is easier for Huang Guoqing to control the situation, otherwise, even if you hire a master to pretend to be a dealer, people must be suspicious if they lose hundreds of thousands. If you don't understand, you just won't play with your boss Huang, so what else can you do?

Things are not complicated, Huang Guoqing provided the venue, and the funds allowed these people to play cards. If you win, take it, and if you lose, he will continue to provide it directly, anyway, all you give is chips, and you have as many as you want. As for Huang Guoqing's purpose, since he only wants the white slips of these officials, it is obvious that he will not just win so many millions.

Chen Yang thought about it for a while, and then he understood. Huang Guoqing did this bureau, it seems that he is planning to put a long line to catch big fish, not only the four or five billion yuan of the final payment of this project, but also want to do some projects in Huahai in the future, and have a good relationship with Huahai and these real power factions. In other words, with millions of IOUs in his hands from these powerful factions, he is naturally invincible and unfavorable in doing things.

"Hehe, this Huang Guoqing is quite calculating. Others gamble and sit in the bank to win money, but he is good, just to win a few white strips. This business is done, and he doesn't have to give a penny, and he lets these idiots do things for him obediently. ”

Chen Yang smiled and muttered to himself.

Ding Xiaoling seemed to think that she had guessed Chen Yang's intentions at this time. After making a great determination, he said with difficulty: "Mayor Chen, don't worry, I am mentally prepared. Wait for tomorrow, oh no. I'll go back tonight and write a letter with my real name. Report them corrupt officials. ”

"Report them?" Chen Yang smiled and said, "Why do you want to report them?" ”

Ding Xiaoling was really confused now, she listened to Chen Yang's meaning before, and as soon as she analyzed it, she knew that Chen Yang had the intention to rectify these officials she had seen, and after thinking about it, she weighed the pros and cons before she took the initiative to propose to use Chen Yang as a gunman, after all, she did this, which was equivalent to saying that she was cut off from high society, and after the incident, she could only choose to go away incognito. But she never expected that Chen Yang didn't mean this at all.

"Miss Ding, listen, when you turn around, you will agree to Huang Guoqing's request, play cards with them a few times, as long as you inform me at the right time, you are a smart person, I mean, do you understand?"

Chen Yang commanded with a smile.

Ding Xiaoling was stunned at first, but soon, she seemed to understand, and then raised her eyes and looked at Chen Yang's expression carefully, although Chen Yang's smile was very warm, she shivered coldly

About half an hour later, Chen Yang came downstairs with a relaxed expression, but Ding Xiaoling, who went downstairs with him, was full of anxiety, and after going downstairs, she took the initiative to say goodbye to Chen Yang, of course, she also explained to Lin Yu that her family hadn't seen her go back to Yanjing these days, and she was in a hurry, she had been hiding here for more than a week, and now that she got Chen Yang's assurance, she wanted to go back to see her relatives.

Although Lin Yu couldn't figure out how her good friend suddenly had such a good relationship with the stepmother at home, but seeing that Ding Xiaoling was resolute, she had nothing to say, so she could only say nothing more after a few words.

After the two girls finished speaking, Chen Yang called Lin Gang over: "Lin Gang, let's do it, you can drive for me to take Miss Ding to the airport in a while." ”

"Huh?" Lin Gang was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and responded, "Okay, mayor, I'll go right away." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly led Ding Xiaoling out of the door.

Before going out, Secretary Lin was quite sorry in his heart, he thought that he could have a meal with the boss, but he didn't expect to be busy for a long time, seeing that he was about to start eating, but he was called to do things again, and he couldn't complain about the government.

But afterwards, he went home and thought about it carefully, but he immediately understood, Miss Lin Yu is still there, where will the boss let his super light bulb stay. It's also fortunate that he left, otherwise, he would have annoyed the boss if he didn't know to take the initiative to leave on the side.

Of course Chen Yang would not have so many complicated thoughts under his subordinates, he was in a good mood at this time, after the others left, he turned his head, but he didn't see Lin Yu, he was a little puzzled, but Lin Yu's gentle inquiry voice came from behind him: "Secretary Chen, I, I've already cooked the meal, if you're not busy, can you eat some now?" ”

Lin Yu was a little shy, but he couldn't hide the joy in it.

When Chen Yang heard this, not to mention that he was really a little hungry, but when he looked back at Lin Yu's dress, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Hehe, you little girl, you have a lot of mastery, yes, worthy of praise." ”

Lin Yu saw Chen Yang glance at the apron tied on her body, but she also specially changed into a very elegant lilac skirt before she came, such a match, it looked a little nondescript, she didn't feel a little embarrassed, blushed slightly, hurriedly lowered her head, and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Chen, I, I"

"I" for a long time, she didn't have "me" to come out, Chen Yang looked at her shy little appearance is very cute, and Lin Yu is naturally beautiful, even if Chen Yang looks at this delicate and shy little woman, it is inevitable that he can't help but feel a flutter.

Unfortunately, at this time, Lin Yu suddenly raised her head again, and just collided with Chen Yang's gaze looking directly at her face, she seemed to notice that Chen Yang's gaze at the moment was a little different from usual, if it was before, she would definitely be ashamed to avoid Chen Yang's gaze, but at this time, she didn't know where she got the courage, she actually looked straight at Chen Yang, and her two red lips were also slightly opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something, but she was blocked in her throat.

Chen Yangcai was secretly startled, and hurriedly withdrew the two gazes that stayed on Lin Yu's face that didn't quite fit his identity, but he didn't dare to tease her anymore, so he quickly coughed dryly and said, "Let's go, Lin Yu, it's rare for you to come to me, let's have a meal together." ”

"Oh, okay, Secretary Chen."

Lin Yu responded obediently. It's just that there seems to be an indescribable bitterness in her tone. Indeed, she could feel that the moment Chen Yang stared at her just now, Chen Yang's gaze was very different from before, it was unabashedly filled with a certain desire, this kind of gaze was very familiar to her, because wherever she went, there would be countless such gazes following her, which was also the normal reaction that a normal man should have when looking at her.

At that moment, she was even looking forward to Chen Yanghui

However, it's a pity (to be continued......
