The official way of rebirth

The Yanggakdo International Hotel rises directly into the sky, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding low-rise buildings. To enter the hotel, you need to apply at the application office on the first floor and check your ID. With the help of Li Guangwu's driver Xiao Xie, there was no obstacle.

.

The splendid hall undoubtedly gave Captain Park a shocking feeling. She said to Tang Yi with excitement: "Chief, this is the first time I know that our country can build such a beautiful hotel. It is the best hotel in the world."

?”

Tang Yi smiled and said nothing. Many ordinary people in North Korea have never heard of this hotel, right?

"But why are only foreigners allowed to enter?" Captain Park naturally said to himself with some doubts.

Xiao Xie over there quickly completed the procedures, handed the two passes to Tang Yi, and gave a standard military salute: "Chief, I'll wait outside."

Tang Yi nodded slightly, waved to Captain Park, and walked towards the leisure area on the first floor. Captain Park hurriedly followed.

Most of the guests in the hotel were Chinese. The casino opened a few years later, which attracted some degenerate Liaodong cadres to gamble. A senior ministerial official was once fired for gambling in North Korea. Most humans think that their luck is unusual, so they gamble.

Only then will the industry prosper.

To be honest, the building of Yanggakdo International Hotel is very tall, but the hardware settings are a bit backward. It is not as good as Andong's newly opened four-star Seoul Hotel, which is equivalent to an international three-star hotel.

The hotel has 24-hour power supply and is one of the only buildings in North Korea that does not have power cuts. Of course, it was Captain Park’s first time to enter a leisure and entertainment venue. Everything he saw was novel and he was full of admiration. He was very impressed with the development of the motherland.

He seemed extremely proud.

Tang Yi thought about it and led Captain Park into the billiards room. Captain Park was not interested in billiards, so learning it would be easier with half the effort. After teaching for a while, Tang Yi felt that his interest was waning, so he had to give up and led Captain Park to the swimming pool.

, heard Tang Yi

She had to change her swimsuit by herself. Captain Park's face turned red. Looking at the many people in the swimming pool, Captain Park almost cried, but she had to listen to the leader's words. She clenched her fists firmly, grabbed the swimsuit and walked to the changing room, but her expression

, like a warrior about to go to the execution ground.

Tang Yi reluctantly stopped her, and went to several entertainment venues. Tang Yi was finally defeated by Captain Park. No matter what kind of entertainment, Captain Park was not very interested, and just to not spoil the chief's interest, Captain Park worked hard.

She is adaptable to her studies, but it can be seen that she is very tired from studying.

In the end, Tang Yi had no choice but to give up and led Captain Park into the TV. As soon as he entered the box, Tang Yi slumped on the sofa like mud. After half a day's work, he was really tired.

The waitress came into the box to deliver the fruit plate and asked again: "Sir, Miss, what song do you want to sing? I can help you sing it." She said it in authentic Chinese.

In the 1990s, the salary of a North Korean university professor was about 200 Korean won. The official exchange rate of North Korea was that one Korean dollar could be exchanged for less than four yuan in RMB. However, in the actual black market, one hundred yuan in RMB could be exchanged for five to six hundred Korean won.

In other words, the salary of a university professor in North Korea is only thirty or forty yuan.

Of course, the amount of salary does not actually make much difference to North Koreans, because everything must be purchased with tickets. A pound of rice in state-owned stores costs about 10 cents. According to price standards, it seems that every North Korean family can afford it.

Eat rice. Your monthly salary can buy one or two thousand kilograms of rice, but without food stamps, no matter how much money you have, there is no practical use.

This can be seen from the price of food in state-owned stores. A bowl of cold noodles costs about seven or eight yuan, which is a month's salary of a university professor, which can only afford thirty bowls of cold noodles.

The salary of waiters at Yanggakdo International Hotel is about 300 won, but it is said that they get a certain percentage of the tips from guests. With RMB, they can go to North Korean foreign exchange stores to buy daily necessities, which naturally attracts these waiters.

force.

Of course, Captain Park had never seen Kara O, but she just watched the waiter adjust the microphone curiously and didn't ask anything.

Tang Yi did not tip the waiter, probably because he felt a little helpless under Captain Park's clear eyes, and he didn't like Captain Park seeing such a scene.

Captain Park was a little happy when he heard that he could sing. He said to Tang Yi: "Chief, I can play the guitar. Is it available here?"

Tang Yi couldn't help but ask the waiter. When the waiter heard that Captain Park called Tang Yi "chief", the waiter became more respectful and immediately told her to think of a solution.

After the waiter left, Tang Yi said with a smile: "Versatile and awesome."

Captain Park smiled happily, Tang Yi pointed to the fruit plate and said: "This is our Xinjiang specialty cantaloupe. It tastes very good. You can try it."

Captain Park hesitated for a moment, then shyly picked up a melon stick and bit it carefully. Tang Yi lit a cigarette, stood up and looked at the colorful paintings hanging on the wall on the left, so that she could eat more comfortably.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and the waiter came in with a guitar.

Captain Park only ate a piece of cantaloupe and stopped playing long ago. When he saw the waiter coming in and happily taking over the guitar, he couldn't put it down and started adjusting it. He said: "Chief, I've only played it a few times and I didn't play well, but, but I

I really like the guitar, but it’s a pity that the troupe only has one and I can’t use it.”

Tang Yi asked the waiter in a low voice: "Do you sell the guitar?"

The waiter had a troubled look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, guest, I borrowed this from the hotel song and dance troupe with great difficulty. I can't make the decision."

Tang Yi nodded and didn't force it.

After the waiter left, Captain Park played "Childhood" for Tang Yi on the guitar.

"On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are singing about summer. On the swing beside the grass, only butterflies are sitting on it. The teacher's chalk on the blackboard is still writing desperately, waiting for the end of get out of class, waiting for the end of school, waiting for the game childhood..."

Captain Park's voice is very clean and pleasant, like a clear spring of tinkling water, which is intoxicating.

Tang Yi listened to it, as if he had returned to his carefree childhood, with his hands neatly clasped behind his back, and looking at the teacher on the podium writing with chalk on the blackboard. What kind of era was that?

My little innocent self. I really, really miss that time when I got a hundred points in the exam and was so happy that I seemed to have the whole world!

"Chief..." Captain Park's gentle call awakened Tang Yi from his reverie.

"Chief, am I not good at singing?"

Tang Yi smiled and suddenly realized that his eyes were a little moist. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Good singing, really good singing. In the future, can you sing to me again if you have the opportunity?"

Captain Park nodded happily and said, "If the commander likes it, I will sing it to you every day." He asked Junzi to buy a guitar and send it to the border, and naturally someone would take it over there.

Sitting behind the desk, Tang Yi looked at a few one-inch photos of Captain Park and Captain Park in his hands and fell into deep thought. It was obvious that his trip to North Korea was frustrated. He wanted to take Captain Park to an entertainment venue so that she could slowly get in touch with them.

Captain Park was unmoved by the outside world and did not like any modern entertainment and leisure methods. When she returned home, she picked up another book. It seemed that her colorful world was in the novel.

Tang Yi was not discouraged, nor did he want to stop his plan to influence Captain Park. Maybe he could slowly think of a way to make North Korea change his mind, but he didn't know what the fate of Captain Park would be if he did this.

Miserable? Secondly, I'm afraid that it will happen in a few years. I can't let a girl's golden years be eroded by time while waiting.

It seemed that a serious illness required intensive medical treatment, but Tang Yi gradually began to have concerns.

Ringing, the phone came to mind, Tang Yi stuffed the photo in his hand into a document bag and answered the phone.

It was Cao Guozhong, director of the Finance Bureau. There was some emotion in his words, "Secretary Tang, didn't you tell me to coordinate the city construction plan with the construction committee? Mayor Tian is very dissatisfied with the investment in library construction and thinks that the funds are compressed too tightly.

It is not enough to build a modern library. We need our Finance Bureau to recalculate, Secretary Tang. That has been audited three times and four times by the bureau. In just one sentence, he criticized the results of our hard work for several days and nights as useless. The comrades below will be chilled.

of."

Tang Yi frowned slightly and said: "Financial work cannot be sloppy at all, especially now that the city is undergoing major expansion and reconstruction. If Mayor Tian criticizes you, you should first find out the reasons yourself and see how well you are doing your work.

Isn’t it enough? There is no harm in doing the calculations a few times, right? Speaking of hard work, Mayor Tian is not hard at all? Don’t go around shouting when you feel a little wronged. Is this your attitude towards work? "

Director Cao immediately said yes, and Tang Yi softened his tone, "Of course, the financial tasks are tight recently and the burden is heavy. I know there are many urban expansion projects. You need to raise funds from above, and the city needs to borrow from banks and raise private funds.

There are many units below that require money in various aspects. If you want to cooperate,

It is somewhat difficult to adjust these relationships well. There will always be dissatisfaction of one kind or another, and there will always be different voices. It depends on you to stick to your principles, make careful calculations, and stick to what you think is right. Of course, you cannot be stubborn.

, listen carefully to the opinions and correct them if they are wrong, it’s no big deal.”

Director Cao finally calmed down. He was afraid that Tian Qingbin had communicated with Tang Yi and said something about himself, but Secretary Tang seemed to support his work and hurriedly assured Tang Yi that he would seriously calculate the results.

, follow the principles of financial management in accordance with the law, comprehensive budgeting, scientific and standardized principles, and maintain financial control.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi picked up the documents on the table and looked through them, but he was thinking about this Tian Qingbin. His hands were stretched a bit, and it would be a bit too much to point fingers at the financial work without communicating with him.

After pondering for a while, Tang Yi picked up the phone and dialed Director Zhang of the Culture and Sports Bureau and asked who was responsible for the construction of the new library. As expected, Director Zhang answered that it was Director Liao Changsheng.

Director Zhang cautiously proposed to invite Tang Yi to dinner, and Tang Yi smiled and said, "Let's wait until we have time." Director Zhang sighed in disappointment and hung up the phone. Tang Yi knew that this old official's life was a bit difficult now, and the municipal party committee had

The voice thinks that he is too mediocre and does not want to make progress. He should adjust his work as soon as possible and join the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to provide for his retirement. The enterprising and young cadres in the Culture and Sports Bureau should be promoted as early as possible to take up leading roles.

There is no doubt that this kind of voice was made in support of Liao Changsheng's municipal party committee leaders, and in supporting Liao Changsheng, the drunkard's intention was naturally to please Minister Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department.

Now it seems that Tian Qingbin should have taken over with Minister Zhao. There is also a distant relative of the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, so he is eager to expand his influence in Anton, just like when he first arrived, but he should not do it for

To win over Liao Changsheng and extend his hand into his own territory, do you really think that Tian Weibing's face is of great use?

The Standing Committee meeting at the end of September was held in the conference room on the third floor of the municipal party committee office building. Ma Hongguang, director of the Municipal Party Committee Political Research Office, reported the main report of the meeting. Secretary-General Gao Tian reported on the arrangements for the meeting. Going through the topics one by one, this year Anton

The development situation is gratifying.

Anton's team has been commended by the Provincial Party Committee several times, especially Mayor Xiaofeng. CCTV Economic Station conducted an exclusive interview with her and rated her highly. The title of the interview was "Women Mayor". CCTV can use such a complimentary word, which shows that Xiaofeng

Mayor Feng has attracted the attention of senior officials.

The Standing Committee members are also very relaxed. Depending on how this trend continues, Mayor Xiaofeng will be promoted sooner or later, which will mobilize the whole body. The members of Anton's team will also be promoted, and they can take advantage of the situation. This is also the case for many municipal party committee leaders.

The main reason is the eagerness to build relationships with the provincial party committee and even Tuomen Road in the capital.

Gu Xinming and Tang Yi have not spoken much recently, and the Standing Committee members are well aware of Gu Xinming's silence. Seeing that Mayor Xiaofeng is gaining momentum, the ancient nature is uncomfortable. As for Tang Yi, some members of the Standing Committee speculated that it was probably Xin

You have worked so hard, but in the end you are making wedding clothes for others, so you may feel unbalanced and unconvinced.

In fact, most of these standing committee members agree with Tang Yi's work ability, and can even be said to admire him. After all, Tang Yi's achievements in the past year since arriving in Anton are obvious to all. It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Yi focused on the economy, revitalized enterprises, and attracted investment.

In the three major categories, his unique vision and broad vision are truly talents that ordinary people cannot match.

But now these members of the Standing Committee all admire Mayor Xiaofeng for his sharp eyesight and knowledge of people, and they quietly attracted Tang Yi. Tang Yi's achievements made her steal the show. Mayor Xiaofeng's political wisdom is even greater than that of Gu.

Much stronger.

Tang Yi's low profile was naturally not the reason some members of the Standing Committee thought. After returning from Hong Kong, he began to keep a low profile, because he knew that he had gradually surfaced, and countless pairs of eyes in the capital were staring at him, so he had to keep a low profile.

Steady, steady again, what I have to do now is to do my job down-to-earth and entrust Mayor Xiaofeng to him. Mayor Xiaofeng is my first more reliable ally. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, she

It will become a strong and powerful support for you.

As for Guda's recent silence, Tang Yi guessed that he vaguely knew his identity? After all, Guda was different from other standing committee members of the municipal committee. It was said that Guda had roots in the capital.

The last topic was about urban construction planning. Mayor Tian Qingbin made a report on the topic. The Standing Committee members all talked about their own opinions. Finally, Tian Qingbin said: "Regarding urban construction, I can't help but remind me of such a thing, that is, culture and sports

Director Zhang Dingchang of the bureau. I agree with Director Zhang’s work attitude, but maybe it’s because of his age. I always feel that he can

Due to insufficient resources, the construction of a new library can be said to be the top priority of the Cultural and Sports Bureau in recent years, right? However, he made several mistakes in the preliminary preparation work, the simple site selection and the selection of the library's architectural drawings, and finally

The mess had to be handed over to Director Liao Changsheng. It was discovered too early. If the problem does not occur until construction, who will be responsible for the loss?"

Tang Yi frowned slightly, put down the pen he was writing on, took out a cigarette, lit one, and took a slow drag.

Organization Director Qian Yiming immediately agreed and sighed: "Director Dingchang has done a few stupid things recently, which has had a certain negative impact on the Culture and Sports Bureau. It is indeed a problem!"

The venue fell into silence. Before Secretary Xin Ming and Mayor Xiaofeng expressed their stance, most of them were sizing up the situation.

Gu Xinming drank tea one mouthful at a time, but said nothing, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Qi Maolin has been observing Gu Xinming's face, but can't see any clues. Looking at Mayor Xiaofeng, he is holding a pen and patiently writing something in a notebook. Qi Maolin has a clue in his heart. The relationship between Liao Changsheng and this idiot is now

It was already known to everyone that he was noisy. No matter what Gu Xinming and Wang Xiaofeng were thinking, they were not willing to speak first, but to observe the other party's reaction.

Qi Maolin immediately realized that this was an opportunity and said with a smile: "Let me say a few words. I completely agree with the opinions of Mayor Qingbin and Minister Yiming. I think the Organization Department should investigate the deputy directors of the Culture and Sports Bureau.

In addition, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments to the work of Director Dingchang.”

Tian Qingbin felt at ease. The Organization Minister and the Party and Mass Secretary all echoed his opinions. The secretary and the mayor seemed to be reluctant to express their opinions due to the relationship with Minister Zhao. It seemed that Zhang Dingchang would be adjusted. He couldn't help but look at Tang Yi.

At first glance, I heard that Tang Yi was having a good time in Anton

Huo Huo, Tian Weibing once again confessed that he wanted to have a good relationship with him. Who knew that after coming to Anton, he found that it was completely different. Tang Yi seemed to have no say at all. He often said nothing in meetings and only drank a cup of tea.

After drinking until the meeting was over and leaving, Tian Qingbin gradually began to feel contempt for him.

Tang Yi's power distribution made him jealous. He didn't know why Mayor Xiaofeng valued him so much. Since he didn't take care of things, he tried his best to be more active and let Anton and other members of the Standing Committee know that they were all outsiders.

But he's not a little bit better than that little boy.

Because of Liao Changsheng's relationship, Tian Qingbin, Qi Maolin, and Qian Yiming have become very close recently, and they have received the support of two heavyweight members of the Standing Committee who hold personnel power. Tian Qingbin was even more energetic. He looked at Tang Yi again, picked up the tea cup and slowly

Taste it, prepare it

Tasting the fruits of his first proposal being passed in the Standing Committee, the taste of victory is always so sweet. The venue was silent for a while, and Tang Yi burned out a cigarette and gently put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

, said: "I disagree."

The voice was very soft, but it seemed to be very serious, because following his statement, the venue suddenly became lively.

Deputy Secretary in charge of culture Mao Haishan was the first to speak. He frowned and said: "Minister Yiming, Secretary Maolin, I think the evaluation of a cadre should not focus on age. I know that the municipal party committee has been in trouble recently.

I think it is abnormal to make irresponsible remarks about Comrade Dingchang’s age. If you are too old, you cannot do revolutionary work? Then why can the Chairman of the Military Commission relax the age limit?

Isn't it because older people are wiser when they are 80 or 90 years old? The leader also said that veteran cadres are our precious wealth! Why does the central government policy promote young cadres? It is not to squeeze out old comrades, but to hope that young cadres can be trained as soon as possible

, take over the work of veteran comrades, and for a veteran comrade who is not old enough to retire, one should not casually question his ability to work."

Mao Haishan turned to Tian Qingbin and said: "As for the mistakes in site selection and drawings you mentioned, it would be better to ask Director Liao Changsheng about the specific situation. He knows exactly whose fault it is and whose mistake it is."

Qi Maolin scolded him after hearing this. He knew that Liao Changsheng was talking nonsense again. Didn't he know that he shouldn't brag about some things casually? It would kill people.

Shang Guomin, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, also frowned and said, "Why would a cadre with no problems at all have to adjust his work? I'm puzzled." He shook his head in disapproval.

Jin Xiangyang glanced at Gu Xinming and saw that he had no reaction, so he agreed: "I agree with Comrade Haishan. After all, it is Comrade Haishan who understands Wenhua! It is not a good atmosphere to talk about cadre adjustments lightly."

Gu Zhandong, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, said: "I have no say in organizational personnel, but I know Zhang Dingchang, an old comrade who has worked hard all his life, is like an old scalper who cannot be a revolutionary for a lifetime and will not be treated fairly when he is old.

It’s very chilling, what you eat is grass and what you squeeze out are blood and tears?”

Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was tense and there was a possibility of being put on the line, Qi Maolin was startled and turned to Gu Xinming for help.

Secretary-General Gao Tian, ​​who is usually a friendly person, said with a smile: "It's just a suggestion. I don't think it's very mature, so let's not discuss it, right?"

Mayor Xiaofeng frowned and glanced at Tian Qingbin, and said seriously: "Comrade Qingbin, you just came to Anton and you don't know much about the situation. Some things cannot be copied by others. You must investigate clearly before speaking!"

This was a strong criticism, which was rare in the Standing Committee. Tian Qingbin's face turned red and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He glanced at Tang Yi from the corner of his eye, only to see that Tang Yi was in a meeting as usual.

He lowered his head and sipped tea, looking like he was waiting for the meeting to end and leave, but now Tian Qingbin knew what kind of weight this young boy had in Anton.
