After all, Yanshan's economy is developing rapidly, and driven by Anton, Yanshan's position in Yanqing's jurisdiction is becoming more and more important. Two years ago, Wang Tao, secretary of the Yanshan County Party Committee, entered the Standing Committee of the Yanqing Municipal Party Committee, and the call for Yanshan to be upgraded to a county-level city has become more and more important.

If the situation is getting higher and higher, why would Yanshan cadres be willing to be transferred to other counties and cities unless necessary?

"Old reporter, oh, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right?" Lei Hao sighed softly on the other side of the phone.

Tang Yi listened to his slightly old voice and felt a little emotional. Since Lei Hao was transferred to the Manchu Autonomous County, Tang Yi and he had not met each other. At first, they occasionally talked on the phone, and then the phone calls gradually became less. In the past two years, they have not met each other.

Haven't had much contact.

"I was transferred to Yongbyon last year as the deputy mayor." Lei Hao probably knew that Tang Yi would not know about his current situation, so he explained it above.

Tang Yi was startled, then smiled and said: "Congratulations then." Unexpectedly, after Lei Hao left Yanshan, he felt that the sea and the sky were vast. Perhaps, his failure in Yanshan gave him a lot of inspiration.

Although if there is no real power, the deputy mayor in charge of less important work may not be as comfortable as the county mayor, but after all, he has taken a step forward in his official career. After all, it is only a minority that the first and second leaders at the county level are directly promoted to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and most cadres still follow the steps.

Climbing up bit by bit, on the way to the county-level cadres entering the municipal-level power circle, the standard model is to be promoted from the county-level leader to the more important head of the municipal government agency, and then slowly advance to the deputy department level. Many cadres spend their entire lives

You can't go any further from the main office to the deputy office.

Lei Hao, who has no experience as a county party committee member, was directly promoted from county magistrate to deputy mayor, which can be said to be a high promotion.

Lei Hao smiled and said thank you, and then said: "Old reporter, ha, I'd better call you Director Tang."

Tang Yidao: "You can call me anything you want, there's no need to be too polite between us."

Lei Haoen snorted and said, "I'm in Beijing. If you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Tang Yiqi said: "Are you in Beijing? Well, I also want to chat with you."

Lei Hao said hurriedly: "What about tonight? Beijing Hotel?"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "High standards, okay, I'll be there in an hour. ^^^^"

On this side of the phone, Lei Hao hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

This is a standard room with a comfortable environment. Two large double beds and white sheets give people a quiet, hygienic and warm feeling.

Lei Hao sat on the soft sofa by the window and put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray on the small round table.

This time he came to Beijing to run funds. Ningbian is an old revolutionary area and an old industrial base. Today, after 20 years of reform and development, cities wearing these two hats usually wear the hat of a poor city. Ningbian

Bian is no exception.

Lei Hao's division of labor in the city government was culture and education. He was determined to make some achievements. Not long after he took office, he boldly proposed a plan to benefit future generations in the old revolutionary areas. It was nothing more than improving the city's teaching environment and inspecting primary and secondary schools in the city.

Renovate schools with difficult teaching conditions.

Who knew that the slogan was easy to shout, but it was very difficult to implement it. The most important thing was that there was no funds. For this, he went to the Municipal Finance Bureau, the Provincial Department of Finance, and the Provincial Department of Education countless times, but he got the approval.

It's quite a lot, but the funds just haven't been forthcoming.

Lei Hao knew that if he could not get money, in addition to the fact that the provincial and municipal finances did have their own difficulties, his opponents in Yongbyon were also a very important factor.

Originally, Lei Hao was already frustrated and was planning to discontinue the plan. Who knew that last month, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a document to allocate funds to the old revolutionary base areas in various provinces to support education in the old revolutionary base areas.

Lei Hao was moved. But he knew that if he waited for the funds to be allocated to the province and then uniformly distributed by the Provincial Department of Finance, Ningbian would not know whether he would be able to get a sip of soup. In this year and age, as long as it is a special allocation, no matter whether it is in line with the

If the conditions are met, there will be no one in the local area who doesn’t want a piece of the pie.

Therefore, Lei Hao came to Beijing, hoping to directly determine the amount of special funds for Yongbian from the ministries and commissions. It would be great if more funds could be released.

At the same time, Yang Jianguo, the executive deputy mayor of Yongbyon, also came to Beijing to collect funds for infrastructure construction in Yongbyon. It is said that the report is to realize roads in every village in the old revolutionary areas, but who knows what he will do with the funds after they are allocated.

?

Thinking of this, Lei Hao sighed softly.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room. Lei Hao went over and opened the door. At the door was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was petite and charming, especially her smile, which could sweeten people's hearts.

It was Wu Xiaoju, deputy director of the Ningbyon Office in Beijing. Her face had the usual sweet smile, "Mayor Lei, Mayor Yang and Director Gao are all waiting for you."

Director Gao refers to Gao Danian, director of the Yongbyon Office in Beijing. The original arrangement tonight was for these cadres in Yongbyon to have a banquet with a director named Sima of a department of the Ministry of Finance. This director is from Yongbyon, and

For a remote and impoverished prefecture-level city like Yongbyon, it is rare to have such a relationship.

However, after several contacts with Director Sima, Lei Hao felt that he didn't care about his project at all. As for Yang Jianguo's project, Director Sima was very concerned about it, but it was very difficult to obey him.

, but since Director Sima did not block the conversation, it means there is hope. Yang Jianguo has been racking his brains these days to figure out how to get through Director Sima's relationship.

Lei Hao also knew that the two directors of the Beijing Office were only following Yang Jianguo's lead and would not really work hard to help him.

After thinking hard, Lei Hao thought of Tang Yi. He knew that Tang Yi's rapid rise in just a few years could not be explained by luck and ability. The only reasonable explanation was that there must be someone in the capital standing behind Tang Yi.

of important officials.

Of course, Lei Hao also hopes to maintain the good relationship between himself and Tang Yi through this contact. As for whether he can get funds, he is not sure. After all, Tang Yi is not in his position, and he has just been transferred to the ministry just a few months ago.

, and it’s okay to help others with a little effort. If it’s very difficult, they usually won’t go out of their way to help. Favor is something that should be used once and less.

"Mayor Lei?" Seeing that Lei Hao was lost in thought, Wu Xiaoju called him again.

Lei Hao came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I won't go. I have an appointment with someone else tonight."

Wu Xiaoju gave him a strange look. She didn't know what date was more important than having dinner with Director Sima, but it was hard to ask. Besides, it would be better if he didn't go, so that Mayor Yang wouldn't have to say a lot of things at the dinner table.

.

Wu Xiaoju smiled and said: "Then I won't delay Mayor Lei's important appointment."

Lei Hao looked at Wu Xiaoju's back. Under her white gauze skirt, her bulging buttocks swayed with seductive curves, which made people's hearts flutter. Lei Hao sneered. This woman is like a poisonous rose, and she is very scheming.

In Room 403, VIP Building of Beijing Hotel, Lei Hao saw Tang Yi, who had not seen him for a long time. Under the gorgeous chandelier, Tang Yi and Lei Hao stretched out their hands and held each other tightly. Looking at Lei Hao's hair, Tang Yi sighed. His youthful and frivolous years

, once gone, never to return.

Lei Hao was very excited and said with mixed feelings: "Thank you, thank you, old reporter, for remembering me!"

Tang Yi poured Lei Hao a cup of tea with his own hands. He smiled and said, "Thank you so much for remembering me. Over the years, what I miss most are the days and nights in Yanshan, and I also miss my old friends in Yanshan the most."

Lei Hao nodded lightly. Lao Ji's words undoubtedly made him feel very comfortable, but he also keenly noticed that Tang Yi's demeanor was more solemn and steady. In front of him, he actually felt the kind of oppression that he only felt in front of provincial leaders.

.

Tang Yi took a sip of tea and asked: "Is Xiaoxia okay? Counting her age, has she started working?"

Lei Hao smiled and said: "Yes. In Shenzhen, you can make much more money than me as a father. It's hard for you to still remember her."

Tang Yi smiled, how could he not remember? At that time, my little sister was still a bit aggressive and had a bad temper. She would hit people in the mall, but she didn't know how many times she was made fun of.

Lei Hao said: "I will bring her to see you next time she takes a vacation."

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I'm afraid she won't remember me, Uncle Tang, right?"

While talking, the waiter served plates of exquisite dishes, and Tang Yi started to help Lei Hao pour wine. Lei Hao hurriedly grabbed the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Remember, it's not a huge amount."

Tang Yi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's the same now, just three cups."

Lei Hao said: "Then let's have three drinks."

The two of them started laughing.

While drinking and chatting, we talked about the years in Yanshan, and our feelings gradually came out. Lei Hao wanted to mention the matter of running away funds several times, but he endured it for fear of ruining the current atmosphere.

Tang Yi glanced at him a few times, sipped his wine and said, "You came to Beijing to join the running club?"

Lei Hao smiled bitterly, and then told Tang Yi about his plan to promote education in the old district in Ningbian.

Tang Yi frowned slightly, "This is a bit of a face-saving project. To benefit the children, it's not as simple as shouting a few slogans and building a few new teaching buildings, right?"

Lei Hao was a little unconvinced, and he was a little excited after drinking some wine. Although facing Tang Yi, he still couldn't help but argue: "Then just don't do anything and sleep peacefully? Do some face-saving projects, and you'll still be able to pay off."

Someone benefits."

Tang Yi laughed, patted Lei Hao on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you excited? It seems that you really want to do something!"

Lei Hao sighed and said: "But it's really difficult to do something, especially for me, the idle deputy mayor. Alas..." After drinking some wine, he couldn't help but think about his experiences over the years, and felt a little sad.

, in Yanshan, I was overwhelmed by Wang Tao until I was pushed to work in a remote and impoverished county. After being promoted to deputy mayor, I thought that all the hardships would be rewarded, but who knew that I, the deputy mayor who was ranked extremely low, would be squeezed out everywhere.

The heads of some ministries, commissions and bureaus seem to speak more forcefully than I do.

Tang Yi squeezed his shoulder hard and didn't say anything. He just raised his wine glass and touched it lightly with Lei Hao's wine glass.

After drinking the wine, both of them were silent, and Tang Yi asked: "How much funds are needed?"

Lei Hao sighed and said: "Three to four million."

Tang Yi was slightly stunned. Three to four million is enough to stump a deputy mayor? Then he nodded and said, "I'll ask you about this. I can't guarantee whether it will work."

Lei Hao, who was originally in low spirits, perked up after hearing Tang Yi's words. He patted Tang Yi's hand and said, "Thank you!"

Tang Yi nodded and said nothing.

Lei Hao thought for a while and then said hesitantly: "This matter is very urgent because our executive mayor is also in Beijing. He is here to run a project for the infrastructure construction of Yongbyon. Tonight, they invited the Ministry of Finance to

Comrade eating is also for the benefit of the people in the old district. I don't know if the two projects can be approved at the same time. If Mayor Yang's project is launched first, I'm afraid..."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry? Then wait for my call tomorrow."

Lei Hao nodded repeatedly.

Now that Tang Yi agreed, Lei Hao knew that the matter was serious, and a big stone fell to his heart. He felt much more relaxed. When the banquet was about to end, Tang Yi went to the bathroom. When he came back, Lei Hao was asking the waitress to bring the bill to him.

Tang Yi laughed: "I have to sit down for a while. Wait for someone. Let's drink tea and wait while you drink."
