Jagged City - Chapter [-] Hiring a Special Assistant

Lin Tao sent Li Linwan and his wife away, checked the time, and found that it was only 07:30 in the evening. After thinking about it, he called Wen Xingyun and made an appointment to meet at the July bar. 【^】Lin Tao went downstairs to the special team and walked around. When he came out, he changed his hairstyle. The original short hair became long hair that covered his ears. He also put on a mustache and Tyrannosaurus glasses. Wearing a black windbreaker, Lin Tao's original appearance cannot be seen at all.Lin Tao is the mayor, and he doesn't want to be recognized in bars.

Lin Tao drove a Toyota off-road and went out, but as Lin Tao's subordinate, every time Lin Tao went out, there was a special team secretly protecting him.

Entering the July Bar, Lin Tao found Wen Xingyun sitting in a corner with few people around. Lin Tao walked over and sat down opposite Wen Xingyun.

Wen Xingyun said apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, I'm waiting for someone."

"I'm waiting for someone too!" Lin Tao said in a low voice.The waiter came over, and Lin Tao ordered a cup of coffee liqueur.

Wen Xingyun didn't recognize Lin Tao, and felt a little annoyed, but Wen Xingyun was a learner and very reserved, so he changed a table silently.Lin Tao, on the other hand, looked at Wen Xingyun with great interest. After the waiter brought the wine, Lin Tao took the wine glass and sat across from Wen Xingyun, and took a sip of the wine with his legs crossed. A trace of surprise and slight surprise flashed in Wen Xingyun's eyes angry.

Lin Tao said: "Sir, are you waiting for your girlfriend? Have you been waiting for a long time? You can't get used to this woman, once you get used to it, something goes wrong—"

Wen Xingyun looked at the chattering person on the opposite side, and thought to himself, this guy drank too much and still lost his love, why is he clinging to me.Wen Xingyun said again: "Sir, I'm sorry for waiting, I'll go and sit over there."

Lin Tao's voice was lowered and slightly hoarse, which was completely different from Lin Tao's usual speech. Therefore, Wen Xingyun not only did not recognize Lin Tao, but also did not hear Lin Tao's voice, but changed another table very unhappy.Unexpectedly, that man followed him again, even the clay figurine was somewhat angry, Wen Xingyun looked at the opposite one angrily, and said in his heart, you've got me in trouble, then just wait, wait for Lin Tao to come There must be a way to restrain you.

"I see that you are a top scholar and the second face. You should be very knowledgeable. You should be a teacher, right?"

"Oh, I'm a teacher! Do you know how to read faces?" Wen Xingyun said with a little surprise.

"I know a thing or two. Although you are a scholar-type character, you have a heart of worrying about the country and the people. Unfortunately, as a teacher, you can't display your ambitions, and your talents are somewhat buried. If you want to enter politics, it will be smooth sailing. Not only A well-rounded official career can also benefit one party!" Lin Tao said pretending to be profound.

Wen Xingyun's heart moved, this really said his heart, he is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, especially after falling in love with Bi Yuelian in recent years, he can't do academic research with peace of mind, and feels that he will become an old scholar in the future, who has been unknown Work is a bit of a waste of life. Now that you have come to this world, why can't you live a vigorous life.If you become the mayor or governor, wouldn't the future urban planning be more able to be built according to your own wishes.Especially after arriving in Xiliang, I saw Lin Tao, who was three years younger than himself, changed from the executive deputy mayor to the mayor.Therefore, during this period of time, Wen Xingyun has moved his mind to enter politics, just to consider how to enter the officialdom,

Wen Xingyun heard Lin Tao say that if he became an official in the political council, he would be able to benefit one side, and he smiled happily: "I accept your good words, but it is not so easy to be in politics. Although I have a bit of knowledge, I don't want to be an official just because I want to be an official. .”

Lin Tao originally wanted to test Wen Xingyun, because the construction of the Xiliang New District required an expert. Although Wen Xingyun was a consultant, he was powerless, and he couldn't say anything about many things. If Wen Xingyun could enter the government and execute it as a government official Urban construction plan, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.Hearing what Xingyun meant, Lin Tao seemed to intend to pursue politics, but he still hesitated.Lin Tao said immediately: "It depends on man's efforts. I think there is auspiciousness in the brows of the gentleman, and there will be noble people to help him. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he should be able to enter politics smoothly."

"I don't know where is the noble person that the gentleman is referring to?" Wen Xingyun said with a slight movement in his heart.

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us." Lin Tao said with a smile.

"You mean, you are my nobleman?" Wen Xingyun was a little familiar with Lin Tao's voice, but he couldn't get it right for a while, so he felt a little puzzled.

I said in my heart that this is not a liar, and I want to pay for it in the name of a relationship.But am I that easy to deceive?My future father-in-law will be the Propaganda Director of the Provincial Party Committee, and I don't know any official.

"I can barely count. If you are in politics in Xiliang, I can talk about it, but it still requires the province to open up joints."

Wen Xingyun sneered in his heart, and said to himself, the fox's tail is showing, and of course money will be needed to open up joints in the province.Wen Xingyun pretended to ask very seriously: "I don't know which joint to open?"

"Of course it's the governor and the organization minister. Of course, it would be better if the secretary of the provincial party committee can get through." Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Can you follow the footsteps of the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor? You are really good, how much will it cost?" Wen Xingyun said distressedly.

Lin Tao was surprised: "Who said money was spent?"

"No money?" Wen Xingyun couldn't believe it.

"Of course there is no need for money. Our Xiliang government will report to the Provincial Organization Department to transfer you to the Xiliang government. As long as your father-in-law Minister Bi communicates with the provincial party secretary or the governor," Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Who the hell are you?" Wen Xingyun took Lin Tao's eyes away and saw that this person was very familiar.

"Halo, what are you doing picking out my eyes? I'm afraid others will recognize it."

"You are—Mayor Lin—"

"Be quiet."

Wen Xingyun said embarrassingly: "Mayor Lin, why did you come here to amuse me, and even put on makeup, this—"

"I'm not trying to entertain you, I'm telling the truth. I want to transfer you to the Xiliang government as the mayor's special assistant, enjoy the treatment of the deputy mayor, and be in charge of Xiliang's urban construction and urban planning. I think this matter It's not too difficult, the key is what you mean. If you enter politics, this is a good entry point. After working as a special assistant for a year or two and accumulating enough experience, you can naturally become the executive deputy mayor. If you don't want to enter politics, this is It can be regarded as a rare experience in life, and it will be good for you to concentrate on studying urban construction in the future." Lin Tao induced Wen Xingyun to say, afraid that his joke just now would hurt Wen Xingyun's self-esteem.

"I've never worked in the government before, so I'm afraid I won't be able to be a special assistant." Wen Xingyun was already tempted.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "I'm not crossing the river by feeling the stones, take my time, I think this job should not be challenging for you, a big doctor. That's it, I'll call the Provincial Organization Department Greetings, go to seal the official letter, tell Minister Bi, and this matter will basically be completed. Your research team will take it with you for the time being, and you will leave completely after a while when there are suitable candidates. Or you will take it with you all the time. "

"Okay, then I'll listen to you first. I'll go back and discuss it with Yue Lian." Wen Xingyun said happily without being pretentious.Wen Xingyun called for a dozen dark beers, and the two drank slowly.Lin Tao discussed urban planning with Wen Xingyun.

Lin Tao said that about the purchase of land by Zhao Jinlin and others in Chengguan Town, Wen Xingyun said with a little embarrassment: "It's not that I am speculating, but that if Xiliang's urban planning wants to develop greatly, Chengguan Town must be developed. This is the geographical location. It’s decided, even if you switch to other experts, you still have to develop Chengguan Town. It’s just that Xiliang’s current development is relatively fast, and early investment and early return.”

Lin Tao said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with normal and legal transactions. That is, on the afternoon of the day when the documents were issued, there were several contracts for land transactions in Chengguan Township. So now society is an information society. If you know the news in advance or have an investment vision, you can get specific amount. Reward. It is also a reality in the officialdom to have a bit of gray income as an official, but you must not take bribes and give others a handle. Especially for young cadres with promising prospects, it is fatal."

"I understand, Mayor Lin, don't worry, if I become a special assistant, I will definitely stay away from corruption and corruption. I have been doing urban planning for the past few years, and my income has been quite a lot. I will not be short-sighted and use money for my future Bet." Wen Xingyun knew that Lin Tao was admonishing him, so he frankly expressed his thoughts, and Lin Tao nodded.At this moment, the two of them have changed from chatting with friends to chatting with superiors and subordinates unconsciously.

Lin Tao chatted with Wen Xingyun, from the city planning of Xiliang, to when Wen Xingyun was studying in the United States, Wen Xingyun did not serve people dishes like other international students, but in the stock market, helping Others buy and sell stocks, and they can get about 100 million US dollars in commissions every year, and they live comfortably.Also opened a coffee shop on the Harvard campus.He and Bi Yuelian met there.After going back and forth, the two got acquainted and became good friends, but they became lovers only after returning to China. It has been five years since the two met each other, and their feelings have settled down and become very rational. Although they lack some passion, the two People are inseparable from anyone.Getting ready to get married around Chinese New Year.Lin Tao could see that Wen Xingyun had a deep affection for Bi Yuelian, but hearing Wen Xingyun chattering about their relationship history was a bit boring.Lin Tao's mind was a little distracted, and the conversations of the drinkers around the bar entered Lin Tao's ears. Lin Tao's hearing was extremely sharp. As long as he listened carefully, the entire conversation in the bar could not escape his ears.Suddenly a voice caught his attention.

"Qiye, you said that the people who made trouble at the gate of the city hall in the first two days, the two guys with trolls who got in among them must have gone to Mayor Lin. I guess the people in the meeting will not give up. It's them hired."

"Don't talk nonsense, this matter has attracted the attention of the old man, and someone has been sent to investigate secretly. If it is found out, it will definitely be punished by the old man. You don't know that the old man asked me to come here to ease the conflict. The hometown investment is here. If you don't participate in these messy things, you should also be quiet, if someone comes to you, you can avoid it and push the matter to me." Qi Ye said in a low voice.

"Seventh Master, I've figured it out over the years. The old man wants to distinguish between black and white, completely separate the business of the white way from the underworld, and then gradually dissipate the power of the underworld. I think this is a bit idealistic. Since ancient times, there has been black and white. Existence is reasonable. As long as the human heart has a greedy side, the environment on which the underworld depends will not disappear.”

Out of the corner of Lin Tao's eye, he glanced at the two people who were talking, and his heart moved. He knew this seventh master. He was Bai Zijian, the boss of a Singapore company who came to Xiliang for inspection last month. He was engaged in fine chemicals and had a lot of money.Now I'm talking about the land with the development zone.Unexpectedly, this Bai Zijian was called the Seventh Master. After listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Tao judged that the two belonged to the Sword Society.Moreover, the two criminals with guns mixed in with the workers came for him, but they were not instigated by these two people. According to what they said, the president of the Small Knife Club did not send anyone to deal with him, but gave an order to stop him. Retaliation, after hearing about this incident, they sent people to investigate the instigator behind the scenes, and they must be held accountable.Lin Tao felt that the matter was complicated and couldn't help but calm down and listen carefully.

"Don't talk about this matter. What we do is business and what we pursue is profit. As long as we listen to the old man, our rights will continue to increase and our income will continue to increase. Why should we disobey the old man? Involved with the underworld. Okay, this is not a place to talk, let's go, there are many things waiting for me to deal with tomorrow!"

Lin Tao watched the two leave, feeling a little disturbed. The Knife Society is too powerful to be cleaned up. Liao Wendong is dead, and the Xiliang Knife Society will turn from bright to dark. In the incident, He Quan, Boss Hai of the Cultural Company, and Director Meng who was lurking inside the Public Security Bureau were arrested. They thought they had been uprooted, but they didn't expect that there were still people from the Small Knife Club doing trouble.This Bai Qiye sounds like a serious businessman, but after all, he belongs to the Knife Society and has inextricable connections with the underworld. Lin Tao can't believe what he said.So after Lin Tao and Wen Xingyun left the bar, Lin Tao contacted Director Ma of Guoan, asking him to check Bai Zijian's details and send someone to watch him.Although the above has temporarily stopped dealing with the Small Knife Society, since Lin Tao has discovered the problem and it is under his nose, he naturally cannot ignore it. It doesn't matter if it's black or white, you have to keep an eye on it.

That night, people from the National Security Bureau took away the two killers who were detained in the Public Security Bureau with imitation May [-]th pistols, and interrogated them in secret.Although three murder cases were dug out from the mouths of these two people, they did not ask about the employer this time.Director Ma listened to his subordinates' report, and summed it up. If Lin Tao replied in this way, he would definitely be dissatisfied.He couldn't help ordering: "Interrogate me again, and you have to ask me about the bedwetting when I was a child."

When dealing with prisoners, Guoan doesn't do those unskilled work of punching and kicking. First, a psychological expert talks to him, talking about laws and rules, and then the two prisoners can't stand it anymore.Can't help but say:

"Brother, I've recruited everyone who needs to be recruited. I can't escape the death penalty. Do I need to hide it?"

"Sometimes people subconsciously avoid or choose to forget something. If you can't remember it now, it doesn't mean you won't remember it later. As long as you perform major meritorious service, the death penalty can also become lifeless. It's better to die than to live, isn't it—don't shut up Eyes, I know you haven’t slept for two days. It seems that the comrades in the Public Security Bureau are very dedicated, but they are not as professional as us. Come and drink some water—by the way, I forgot to tell you, there are stimulants in this water, which is to let You have that sleepy feeling, but you just can’t fall asleep. I’ll prepare an emetic for you later—”

The prisoner was tortured and wanted to die quickly, so he couldn't help saying: "Brother, you haven't given me anything to eat for a whole day, why do you want me to vomit?"

"Vit bile, vomit stomach acid, last time there was a terrible one, I vomited out my stomach—"

Lin Tao didn't know that his phone call caused the two criminals to suffer inhuman pain, and a wish sprouted in the two people's hearts, that is, they must be good people in their next life, and they must never suffer this crime again.

At noon the next day, Lin Tao and Fang Liang finished their lunch in the cafeteria and returned to the city government building. Just as Che Liguo came out of the building, a driver beside him carried a cardboard box for him, which probably belonged to Che Liguo himself.Che Liguo looked at Lin Tao with a hint of malice in his eyes. His hatred for Lin Tao was unforgettable. If Lin Tao hadn't provoked him repeatedly, how could he fight violently in the Standing Committee? What's more, the most hateful thing is that Lin Tao took advantage of the problem and asked the police to arrest him. He got up and squatted in the detention center for a day and a night. Although no one tortured him, he was humiliated and he was dismissed. All of this was caused by Lin Tao.At noon today, Che Liguo came to bid farewell to Zhang Yuhe, took advantage of everyone's lunch, and quietly took down his things. Unexpectedly, he still saw Lin Tao.

Lin Tao remembered that when Che Liguo first came, he had a good impression of himself, but he didn't expect to jump out to suppress him this time, revealing his true nature, so Lin Tao would naturally not let him go, facing Che Liguo's staring eyes at this moment , Lin Tao said with a smile: "Mayor Che, I hope you can work hard in your new job in the future and be a civil servant serving the people instead of being a politician."

"Thank you Mayor Lin for teaching, I will keep it in mind, I will always pay attention to Xiliang, and see how Mayor Lin can be a qualified public servant of the people—" Che Liguo felt that he should not leave so weakly, suddenly The subject turned around and said.

"However, Mayor Lin's scheming methods seem to be more like a politician. I was dismissed, and Mayor Liu was kicked out of the Standing Committee. You are an incredible public servant! Standing taller, falling hurts even more. I think one day you will understand my feelings." After Che Liguo finished speaking, he strode down the steps.He turned a blind eye to the oncoming secretary who had been his secretary for more than a month, and he didn't even respond to the other party's greetings. Just when he and Lin Tao passed by three meters apart, one walked down and the other went up, Che Liguo suddenly appeared. With his feet on the ground, his body fell straight forward.

Che Liguo exclaimed and hit the ground face first. "Puchier", Fang Liang couldn't help laughing out loud, seeing Lin Tao's staring eyes, he turned his head quickly, and said in his heart, yes, it hurts to fall from standing high, how good you said, the retribution will come after speaking, Don't knock out the front teeth now, that would be a real shame!

"Mayor Che!"

"Mayor Che!"

The driver who was carrying the suitcase and the original secretary hurried down to help Che Liguo. Che Liguo stood up with a livid face. Seeing the staff coming back from the cafeteria one after another, they looked at him as if these people were laughing at him. Li Guo covered his mouth and strode outside.

"Mayor Che, your face is scratched, go to the hospital quickly!" Secretary Yuan shouted from behind.

Che Liguo staggered, he felt that Secretary Qiu deliberately humiliated him in front of others.Covering his mouth and looking back at Secretary Qiu, Secretary Qiu saw incomparably angry and vicious eyes from Che Liguo's eyes. How could this be the expression that an executive deputy mayor should have? Putting down the tissue, he stared blankly at Che Liguo leaving.

"Ah, why did Mayor Che fall just now? Look, there are still bloodstains on the ground. It looks like the fall was not light!" Chen Feng stood at the place where Che Liguo's face was on the ground and looked at him, his eyes somewhat gloating. .

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Maybe I was a little irritable. I fell down the stairs without walking steadily. There should be nothing wrong with the skin trauma. By the way, Minister Chen, sit in my office. I have something to discuss with you."

Lin Tao mainly asked how to mobilize Wen Xingyun's work. As the head of the organization, Chen Feng was naturally more familiar with the mobilization of personnel relations than Lin Tao.

After hearing this, Chen Feng said: "This matter is simple. As long as we in Xiliang accept it, it will be no problem for them to release people from the university. Of course, this matter must be approved by the Provincial Organization Department. After all, it is equivalent to the position of deputy mayor. If the Provincial Organization Department directly It would be easier to send an official letter to the National People’s Congress.”

It sounds easy, but Zhang Yuhe and Secretary Cui cannot be avoided in this matter. This requires the energy of Wen Xingyun's father-in-law.

When Lin Tao returned to the provincial capital on the weekend, he called on Ouyang Qing under the banner of Ouyang Qing. The aunt of his old classmate was still the head of the organization who was in charge of his official title. It was normal to pay a visit. Ouyang Qing looked at Lin Tao with admiration. It is true that Lin Tao's skills are very clever, playing with the political opponents who jumped out.

Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "Your Xiliang is very lively. The leaders of the city bring it around like a revolving lantern."

"That's not all the appointment and dismissal announced by you personally." Lin Tao looked at Ouyang Qing and said.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qing realized that it was indeed the case. Although these were all Secretary Cui's instructions, they were indeed appointed and dismissed by the head of the organization. She glanced at Lin Tao and said, "Are you complaining about me?"

"How can I? How dare I complain, don't I want you to issue a new appointment and dismissal?"

"What appointment?" Ouyang Qing asked vigilantly.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "Look at you, how do you look like you are guarding against thieves? We need a deputy mayor with professional knowledge to build a new district in Xiliang and renovate the old city. I want to transfer Minister Bi's son-in-law Wen Xingyun to me as the deputy mayor." Special assistant, he is a professor of Renmin University of China and an expert in urban construction. He has been leading a team to conduct research in Xiliang recently. If he is transferred to the Xiliang government, I think our new district construction will be more scientific and efficient. I hope Minister Ouyang can support it We work for the Xiliang government."

"You're poaching Minister Bi's corner. I've heard of Wen Xingyun. He is a doctor who studied abroad. He is indeed a domestic expert in urban construction planning. Are you doing the work of Wen Xingyun? Didn't you want to Shall I cut it first and then play it?" Although Ouyang Qing asked this, she had already concluded that it must have been discussed, otherwise she couldn't tell herself first.Although Ouyang Qing didn't socialize much, he knew that the sons of Zhao Jinlin, Hong Lili, Ma Zhantao and other members of the Standing Committee were very close to Lin Tao, and Bi Yuelian too. Although Lin Tao is young, it can be seen that Lin Tao is very communicative.Last time the Standing Committee elected Lin Tao with [-] votes, which is very illustrative.Besides, Ouyang Qing had a good impression of Lin Tao, not to mention that her niece was still Lin Tao's classmate, and she was still serving as county magistrate under Lin Tao's rule, so she wanted to give Lin Tao this favor.Moreover, Wen Xingyun is Bi Minghua's prospective son-in-law, and in the first two days, he heard from Bi Minghua that he planned to hold a wedding for his daughter at the end of the year.No matter from Lin Tao's side or Bi Minghua's side, she should give the green light. Another point is that Wen Xingyun's transfer is a reasonable request from the Xiliang government. high.

As soon as Lin Tao heard Ouyang Qing's rhetorical question, he knew that this matter would be easy to handle, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Although we in Xiliang are eager to seek talents, we can't do things that force you to go to the Liangshan Mountain. I have obtained the consent of Professor Wen Xingyun in advance. He is also willing to contribute to the development of Xiliang."

"You are still forced to go to Liangshan. Do you want to stand on the top of a mountain in Xiliang and become a king?" Ouyang Qing's words seemed to awaken Lin Tao. Secretary Cui was very dissatisfied. Form gangs.As for what happened last time, Lin Tao turned passive into active, making it hard to find fault, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lin Tao was taking the opportunity to suppress Che Liguo and Liu Baoheng, and even the secretary of the municipal party committee, Zhang Yuhe, also lost face.These three people were all single-handedly selected by Secretary Cui. It is conceivable that Secretary Cui was angry about this incident. Although Lin Tao's fault can't be found yet, a provincial party secretary misses you. Are you okay?

"The last bandit in Xiliang has been wiped out, so there is no such thing as a king of the mountain." Lin Tao laughed.Ouyang Qing knew that what Lin Tao was talking about was the seven generations of Qin family bandits in Qinglanggou, Huokou County, who ruled Qinglanggou and secretly dug gold mines. Although this matter was not publicized, it was included in the internal reference.The Provincial Standing Committee even talked about it as a joke.Lin Tao made a contribution in this matter.

Ouyang Qing said angrily: "You kid, are you asking for credit from me?"

"Don't dare, that's my job, I don't dare to take credit for it!" Lin Tao was Ouyang Qing's classmate in front of Ouyang Qing, playing the role of a junior, so the two talked very casually.Otherwise, the Minister of Organization would never say 'you boy' to a mayor.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more. You work in Xiliang, you must unite with comrades and respect the opinions of the municipal party committee. I think you can understand what I'm talking about?"

"Follow Minister Ouyang's instructions!" Lin Tao knew that this was Minister Ouyang's hint that Secretary Cui was dissatisfied with him.However, although Lin Tao paid attention, he didn't take it to heart.It is really contemptible for a secretary of the provincial party committee to be so mean-spirited.

Lin Tao came out of Minister Ouyang's house and went directly to Wal-Mart supermarket. At noon today, the two mothers-in-law and Deng's mother and daughter were shopping in the mall. In the afternoon, Xiao Huating and Wang Zhengdao were coming back. These wives had to cook for themselves, so they went to the supermarket Hand-picked materials.Because Xiao Xiao was busy with the company, she could only come back from Xiliang in the afternoon, so Lin Tao had to accompany these women whom he dared not offend.
