Jagged city

Jagged City - Chapter 120 Family and state affairs are inseparable

Lin Tao called Xiao Xiao and asked Xiao Xiao not to come to Northwest Province for the time being, because the Knives Suppression Society had not yet come to an end, and Xiao Xiao might be in danger if she came to the Northwest. ▏中㊣ ▏Xiao Xiao is actually unwilling to come to the Northwest, the conditions in the capital are so good, but this is an opportunity for promotion, Xiao Xiao also hopes to be recognized, and Lin Tao is transferred to the Northwest to be determined Xiao Xiao will go to the Northwest to develop The determination of the law firm.Lin Tao's refusal to let Xiao Xiao come at this moment made Xiao Xiao even more worried about Lin Tao's safety, wishing to fly to Lin Tao's side immediately.

Lin Tao put down the phone helplessly. Xiao Xiao will arrive in the northwest provincial capital in two months, so she has to reconsider the safety of Xiao Xiao and her two children.The safest place is the Northwest Provincial Army.Lin Tao called Deputy Chief of Staff Yu of the Xinjiang Military Region. After the last time he went to Afghanistan to suppress bandits, Deputy Chief of Staff Yu contacted Lin Tao several times. The main reason was that Commander Chen wanted to transfer Lin Tao to the military region. Let him go, but under Commander Chen's instruction, Deputy Chief of Staff Yu continued to show affection. When Lin Tao's child was one month old, he personally attended the banquet on behalf of Commander Chen.

"Xiao Lin, I heard that you have gone to the Northwest local government, when will you come to the military region to have a look?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry for the Chief of Staff. This time I went to Xiliang mainly to suppress the Small Knife Society. I don't know how long I will stay? Anyway, I was tied up as the deputy mayor, which made me very anxious." Lin Tao said helplessly. Said, the Chief of Staff's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"The Small Knife Society is not easy. It spreads across the two northwestern provinces, and many businesses are legally operated, mixed with black money politics. Even if there is determination from above, it is impossible to eradicate them. You must be prepared for a long-term battle, but you will be the deputy mayor. Boss, it’s hard to transfer back, but the big leaders of the government are also interested in you, Mr. Shang is sulking, he’s been tricked, hehe. You can be the deputy mayor for the time being.” Lin Tao heard, This is because the chief of staff knows a lot of the inside story, and he has become a favorite, which makes Lin Tao a little depressed. It is estimated that his father-in-law wants him to enter politics, and the meaning of Vice Premier Deng is indispensable.

"Chief of Staff Yu, I have some private matters to ask for your help?" Lin Tao said a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Just say it. It's absolutely fine for me to contribute." Chief of Staff Yu said cheerfully. Although Chief of Staff Yu is a deputy-level staff officer, Lin Tao is the youngest major general. Appreciate, the government also has someone to take care of, so can such a person not hand over, let alone Commander Chen loves Lin Tao very much.

"My wife Xiao Xiao is also coming to Northwest to work, and she is in charge of the Northwest Yinhe Law Firm branch. You also know about the Small Knife Society. I am worried about the safety of Xiao Xiao's mother and child. Can you find a family room in the Northwest provincial capital army—— "

"That's it, no problem. You can buy me a drink when I go to inspect the troops in Northwest Province in a while." Chief of Staff Yu assured him that Lin Tao was relieved.

"Thank you, Chief. I'm waiting for you to come. I'm sure there will be good wine for you." Lin Tao said happily.The two chatted for a while before putting down the phone.

Lin Tao couldn't work with peace of mind if he didn't make good arrangements for his family. Lin Tao still felt that it was not safe, so he called Wang Han and wanted to find two retired special forces to be his personal bodyguards.

"This matter is easy to handle. It just so happens that several of them were fired. If you have a lot of spare money, I can give it all to you." Wang Han said with a smile.

"Brother, if you don't bring such a thing, you will be expelled. What kind of goods are you? Give me a recommendation!"

"The quality is absolutely excellent, but drinking and making trouble, beating up a few hooligans, being blackmailed, severely injured and disabled, although the army paid medical expenses, but they couldn't keep these five people. It’s not easy to handle on crooked roads, and it must be honest when it’s delivered to you.” The fact Wang Han said, under Lin Tao’s hands, all thorns had to be smoothed out.If they are placed in a local area, the government will not accept these people, and it will be bad if they enter the underworld.These team members have all been specially trained, and their combat effectiveness is strong, which is definitely not something that ordinary police can handle.So when Lin Tao asked for bodyguards, Wang Han immediately recommended five of them.

Lin Tao took a deep breath, and thought that five people were too much. One person could earn at least three or four thousand yuan a month, and five people could earn two or three million yuan a year!However, if Wang Han recommended it, he had to accept it even if he pinched his nose. Besides, Wang Han knew that Lin Tao was a rich man, so he pushed him.

"Okay, let them all come over. By the way, didn't you say last time that Wang Lan has a boyfriend named Gu Yun, when will they get married?" When Lin Tao got married, Wang Han's younger sister Wang Lan also went to the wedding scene , this Wang Lan and Lin Tao are high school classmates, once had a hazy feeling for Lin Tao, the farewell at the train station caused Wang Lan to suffer emotional setbacks, at that time Lin Tao had Jin Zhenai, and he watched Wang Lan leave with a broken heart. go.After going to college, they went their separate ways. Lin Tao had Xiao Xiao. Although he occasionally contacted Wang Lan, the relationship gradually faded over time.After graduating, Wang Lan entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Wang Han's walking around. When Lin Tao got married, she also went to congratulate her. Seeing Lin Tao's marriage, Wang Lan also felt sore in her heart, and her last hope was shattered, so she decided to keep chasing her. His alumni Gu Yun, how did Lin Tao know that Wang Lan has always been obsessed with his feelings for him.At the general banquet last time, Wang Han mentioned this matter, and Lin Tao only asked this question.

"They have been dating for more than two years, and they are planning to get married at the end of this year. Both of them are in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but their qualifications are low. Currently, there are two places to go to the Washington Embassy. The competition is fierce. Our buddies are too hard to do it. Gu Yun is a bit I hope that if this happens, I am afraid that there will be problems in the relationship between the two of them. I can't persuade Gu Yun to give up this rare opportunity, and I am worrying about it." Wang Han and Wang Han are half-brothers, but Wang Han is very close to Wang Lan, and loves this younger sister. In the past few years, he also knows that his younger sister never forgets Lin Tao, but he never told Lin Tao.Lin Tao is happily married, so if you want to talk about this, isn't it an embarrassment?

"And this matter, how about Gu Yun?" Lin Tao said to Wang Lan that he forgot everything, that would be a lie.Especially when I met Wang Lan when I got married, that unforgettable time came to my eyes again.Lin Tao also hoped that Wang Lan could be happy and happy, so when he heard Wang Han talk about it, he immediately took care of it.

"Gu Yun is shorter than you, and looks more handsome than you. He is very smart and sociable. Currently, he is very good to Wang Lan, and his family is also good. His parents are both department-level cadres. Of course, he can't compare with you. " Wang Han said sourly.

"Is it more handsome than me?" Lin Tao was somewhat jealous.

"Damn, no matter how much you look better than Pan An, you're still letting people live." Wang Han said angrily.

"Hehe, there are many people who are more handsome than me. Don't I care about Wang Lan? Let Wang Lan fight for it too. Maybe both of us can go. Wouldn't it be better to fly together." Lin Tao summed up Di Anni His father is the ambassador to the United States. If Di Anne followed Diane's path, there should be no problem with these two places.However, Lin Tao has a guilty conscience. It feels a bit too much to sleep with the eldest daughter of Huanghua for nothing, and to ask his father-in-law for help.How would Ambassador Li feel if he knew about his relationship with Diane?Lin Tao shuddered at the thought of this, feeling guilty!

"That's what I told the two of them. Gu Yun has a better chance, but it's only five or five. It's fine if neither of them can compete for a spot. Honestly, it's good to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a job. How many people are envious!" Wang Han hoped that Gu Yun would not be able to win, and that he would be safe in the country with his sister.If you go to the United States alone, you will be separated when you get married. There are too many variables.

Lin Tao put down the phone and leaned back on the chair to think. One thing happened after another. There was a private matter at home, and he had to visit the Xiliang Electronics Factory tomorrow. Lin Tao, the deputy mayor, was also worried about how to arrange the arrangements for the more than 3000 laid-off workers.After all, I have never worked in the government before. Although I founded Junlian Group and was sensitive to the economy, but now I am in charge of a lot of work as the executive deputy mayor. There are endless things to do every day. Now I am working on such a large factory. , Faced with too many problems, Lin Tao felt a little powerless for the first time.

"Bang bang—" the driver, Xiao Qin, opened the door and came in, followed by Xiao Qin's wife, Shen Yue, holding a bowl of steaming dumplings.Lin Tao quickly stood up, and quickly said: "Xiao Qin, you are really, it's already in the middle of the night, what do you want your wife to cook?"

"The chief doesn't eat much tonight, so I'll ask Shen Yue to order some dumplings." Xiao Qin said with some embarrassment.Although it is concerned about the leadership, it is somewhat flattering.Xiao Qin felt a little uncomfortable doing these things by himself.

"Mayor Lin, you are a big leader. You have a lot of work. How can you do it if you don't have enough to eat? It's not troublesome to make some supper, but I don't know if it suits your taste?" He looks good and knows how to do things.I just came to Xiliang six days ago and was assigned to the foreign language group of Xiliang No. [-] Middle School.These days, Shen Yue cooks dinner, which suits Lin Tao's appetite very much.For the young couple who are one year younger than him, Lin Tao naturally takes good care of them and does not put on airs of leadership. Although they are asked to call them big brother in private, they dare not take it seriously. Xiao Qin is still called the chief, and Shen Yue is called the mayor of Lin Tao.

"Shen Yue can't go wrong. It's hard to find young women with this kind of culinary skills nowadays. Xiao Qin is lucky, and I borrowed all of them. Don't you just cook one bowl?"

"There are quite a few more. If the mayor likes to eat, I'll bring them all." Shen Yuexin said, could it be that Mayor Lin is too hungry, and there are twelve dumplings in this big bowl!

"Bring them all over and eat together. Let's talk while eating. I'll hear about your school's affairs." Shen Yue's job transfer was arranged by Director Li of the government office. Lin Tao didn't have time to ask about the many things these days.Just take advantage of the supper time to learn about Shen Yue's work situation. A leader must care about the people around him. No matter how big an official you are, no matter if you are a corrupt and honest official, can you do without a few reliable people around you?Shen Yue brought two bowls of dumplings, and the three of them sat in the kitchen and chatted while eating.

Lin Tao said: "I'm sending you a border crossing, and you young couple will suffer along with it."

Shen Yuexin said, if being a deputy mayor is to be assigned, I don't know how many people are waiting to be assigned. I have been a class teacher since I arrived in No. [-] Middle School, and the leaders also take special care of me. Compared with the original school, I am much more popular, and I don't suffer at all.Shen Yue watched her husband giggle and kicked under the table.Xiao Qin sat up straight and said:

"I am the chief's soldier, wherever the chief is, I will go."

Shen Yue hated iron for being weak, and was very dissatisfied with her husband's standard soldier-style answer, and quickly smiled: "We are young, and it will be good for our future work to follow Mayor Lin to experience it, and Mayor Lin also takes care of us in every possible way. , Xiao Qin and I are very close."

Lin Tao nodded, and was very satisfied with Shen Yue's answer. All in all, he should take care of Shen Yue more, so that Xiao Qin could be his guard and driver at ease, so he asked: "Shen Yue, you are a party member, right? Did you ever work as a member of the student union when you were in college?"

Lin Tao asked the question knowingly. He had read Shen Yue's file several times, and he knew exactly when Shen Yue's parents got married.

"I joined the party in 2005. I used to be the class secretary and the head of the organization department of the student union." Shen Yue said cautiously, thinking that Mayor Lin is two years older than me. How does my student union cadre compare with the mayor? .

"Shen Yue, are you interested in teaching, or in the work of the school's Youth League Committee?"

When Shen Yue heard it, it was Mayor Lin who wanted to take care of her. Although she was very willing in her heart, she couldn't be too explicit.Looking at Lin Tao, he said unnaturally: "The work of the Youth League Committee of the school is very training. If there is a chance, I am willing to try."

"Well, how about this, the workload of the Youth League Committee should not be too big, and you should not be completely divorced from teaching. You can work as a part-time English teacher. It shouldn't be a problem for young people to increase their work." Yue became a junior, and Xiao Qin and his wife also listened very naturally.Listening to Lin Tao calling the director of Xiliang Education Bureau.

"Director Gao, I'm Lin Tao."

"Hello——Mayor Lin, hello, hello!" Director Gao was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when the phone rang suddenly. He was surprised to see the words "Mayor Lin" because Lin Tao was not the deputy mayor in charge of education. Of course, as the executive deputy mayor, he is also qualified to inspect the Education Bureau.Although Director Gao entered Lin Tao's work phone number, he never made a call, and Lin Tao never had contact with Director Gao. This sudden call made Director Gao very nervous.

"I just came to Xiliang, and I don't know much about education in Xiliang. The college entrance examination is about to take place. I heard that No. 01 Middle School had a very high rate of enrollment last year, and there was a provincial champion in science. The school's teaching should be very good. I will Go to No. 30 Middle School at [-]:[-] in the afternoon." Lin Tao said in a slow voice.

Director Gao suddenly regained his energy, stood on the ground with bare feet, and said excitedly to the phone: "Welcome Mayor Lin to inspect the education work. On the eve of the college entrance examination, Mayor Lin can come to guide the work, which is a great contribution to the education of Xiliang. The great encouragement of the staff, I warmly welcome all the staff on the education front."

"It doesn't take a lot of work. Time is limited. I can only spare an hour and a half. Tomorrow I will ask Secretary Fang Liang to contact Director Gao. Don't worry about disturbing Director Gao's sweet dreams in the middle of the night." Lin Tao said politely.

"I just got home too. Mayor Lin has a lot to do every day, please pay attention to rest—" Director Gao hung up the phone and sat on the bed thinking why Mr. Lin wanted to go to No. [-] Middle School for inspection.The chief's wife leaned against the head of the bed and asked with interest:

"Is that the executive deputy mayor, Lin Tao? Mayor Lin who turned upside down as soon as he came to Xiliang?" The wife of the director often gossips with a bunch of officials' wives these days. Lin Tao shot the chairman of Lehui Group and wounded the police. The director of the bureau, and then the city cracked down on gangsters vigorously, arresting hundreds of people. According to gossip, gun battles broke out in several places in Xiliang City and counties. Now, a dozen department and bureau-level cadres are double-regulating, making Xiliang's official circles panic, and everyone is in danger. The black hand behind the scenes is pointing at Lin Tao, the executive deputy mayor who was parachuted to Xiliang.There are more than ten versions of the rumors about Lin Tao. The Northwest Governor's brother-in-law, the Provincial Party Secretary's son-in-law, and the Premier's son-in-law, let these cocky women enjoy talking about it, and it is even a hot topic among some officials in private.Seeing her husband's respectful expression, the director's wife immediately became enthusiastic about the mysterious Mayor Lin.

"Yes, Mayor Lin suddenly went to the Second Middle School to inspect. What's the reason? Mayor Zhang Yun is in charge of education!" Director Gao scratched his half-bald head, trying to figure it out for a while.

"Didn't you say that Mayor Xu is going to retire at the end of the year? This Mayor Lin is likely to be rehabilitated. As the future leader of the city government, go to the school to see what's wrong!" the director's wife reminded.

"The executive deputy mayor is the second mayor. He is qualified to inspect the work of Xiliang, but it's just a little strange—that's right." Director Gao suddenly slapped his thigh.

"What's right? I was taken aback." The wife of the director gave the director Gao a hammer.

"Hehe, fortunately my head is not rigid, and I am still sober after drinking a catty of wine. Last week, our Education Bureau transferred an English teacher, who was arranged by Director Li of the government office. I arranged her for No. [-] Middle School. Hehe, it turns out Here!" Director Gao cleared away the heavy fog, and the cadres who became officials for nothing, especially the cadres who mixed up with the director level, were even more human.Director Li once said that Shen Yue was the wife of Mayor Lin's driver and was transferred to Xiliang.Director Gao summed up the front and back and immediately took a seat.

"Is it the English teacher transferred from Liaobei you mentioned a few days ago?"

"Yes, a young female English teacher named Shen Yue is the wife of Mayor Lin's driver. I said why Mayor Lin is going to inspect the Second Middle School."

"Could it be that Mayor Lin is having an affair with that Shen Yue? Why is he so enthusiastic." The wife of the bureau chief deduced according to common sense.

"You mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense. It's normal for a leader to care about the staff around you. You can't talk nonsense about this kind of gossip. If it gets out and angers Mayor Lin, I'm afraid I'm done." Director Gao Seriously said to his wife.

"Look at your nervousness. I don't even have this awareness. How can I be the chief's wife. I'm just telling you." The chief's wife said dissatisfied.But I feel really uncomfortable. The moment I said it just now, I was thinking about gossiping with those wives tomorrow. If my husband hadn't reminded me, it would have been a disaster.If such scandals spread out as soon as Mayor Lin visited the No. [-] Middle School, the Director of Education would definitely be the first thing that comes to mind.The director's wife was also afraid for a while, but she was very dissatisfied with her husband's reprimand.

"I'm also confused. Mayor Lin is reminding me that I don't care enough about the teachers of No. [-] Middle School, especially Shen Yue, who has just been transferred. Why is my reaction so slow! It's really a mistake to drink!" Director Gao He patted his bald head, then looked at his phone and called a deputy director of the education bureau.

"Old He, are you asleep?"

"Master Director's call, I have to answer it even if I fall asleep!"

"Shaopo, Lao He, isn't that experimental middle school short of a vice principal? Let Yang Fan from No. [-] Middle School go."

"Not so good. Yang Fan has only been the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Second Middle School for two years. Although he was transferred at the same level, it is an experimental middle school after all! Even though you are my son-in-law, you don't have to sell me so much!"

"Don't think that if you are an old classmate, there is no big or small. I am the director and I have the final say, so I will arrange for Yang Fan to go. I will go through the formalities tomorrow morning."

"It's over, I can't keep the Moutai that I have cherished for ten years. I am going to celebrate my discharge from the hospital and drink it by myself. Did you inform my daughter? This girl is too cruel to her father." Deputy Director He and Director Gao are classmates. They were classmates from elementary school to university. When they were young, they were still neighbors. They wore crotch pants and pissed and played with mud together. When they grew up, they went to school and worked together.

Director Gao laughed loudly: "Old He, let me tell you a secret, I am Xiaoying's real father! Hearing this news, don't stop your heart! Do you need to dial 120?"

"Fart, I'm still Gao Yang's real father! If you don't believe me, ask your sister-in-law—" Lao He's roar came out of the microphone, and was clearly heard by the wife of the director.The wife of the director grabbed the phone and cursed:

"piss off!"

There was also a loud laugh on the other side of the phone, and the wife of the bureau chief turned off the phone.The director's wife pinched Director Gao's arm and said angrily: "You two are old and rambunctious, and you are not afraid of being laughed at. Tell me clearly, Xiaoying is really your own daughter?"

"Oh, you bitch are so pinched, you're all green——"
