Chapter 105 A series of chain reactions
"He also found it strange, and he also vaguely heard that it was Chen Feng's proposal. Chao Du said that Chen Feng and Cao Yongguo had no contact and probably didn't know each other, so why did he suddenly ask him to be the deputy, and he was also the executive vice mayor. Chen Feng is the direct descendant of Secretary Lu. If Chen Feng intends to let Cao Yongguo set up a stage with him, Secretary Lu, who has always valued Chen Feng, supports Cao Yongguo, it would be reasonable." Li Dingshan pressed his forehead and looked thoughtful, "Chen Feng unexpectedly values Cao Yongguo, and there must be an intermediary in the middle, and he doesn't know who this key person is?"
Xia Xiang also lowered his head and thought. He didn't know that all the changes were all because he asked Cao Shugui to participate in the design of the LCD large screen project, and at the same time triggered a series of chain reactions, which led to Chen Feng's love for the house and Wu, so he was very interested in Cao Yongguo. Therefore, he was the key figure in the middle.
Thinking of Gao Jianyuan's figure unexpectedly appearing in the LCD large screen project, Xia Xiang had another guess and said to Li Dingshan: "Secretary Li, when designing the renderings, he vaguely heard that Gao Jianyuan, as the representative of the capital, occupied a certain stake in the company."
Li Dingshan's surprise was written on his face without any concealment: "Gao Jianyuan? Gao Chengsong's son? Is it true or false?"
Xia Xiang nodded heavily: "I was also surprised, but she didn't know that Gao Jianyuan was Gao Chengsong's son, but she accidentally heard someone say something and just remembered it. I think she shouldn't be wrong."
Li Dingshan stood up, walked around the desk, and sat opposite Xia Xiang: "Things are getting more and more complicated. Gao Jianyuan actually interfered in the company's affairs. Even if Gao Chengsong forgot me, the county party secretary, because Gao Jianyuan intervened in the company's operations, he would sooner or later mention me from Wen Yang. It would be difficult for Gao Chengsong to not hear my name, Li Dingshan..." He smiled and said disapprovingly, "You can't hide for a while. Don't believe Gao Chengsong is so narrow-minded that he refuses to let me go, a small county party secretary?"
The situation in Yan City can really be described as surging winds. The changes were too fast, which made Xia dazzled and didn't have time to find useful clues. He knew that his biggest disadvantage was that he had received too little information from the upper class, and he didn't know whether Li Dingshan had inquired about Qian Jinsong from Song Chaodu. What did Qian Jinsong come over in the capital?
He raised the question to Li Dingshan, and Li Dingshan shook his head: "Chaodu didn't say it, he just said that he was not very clear yet, and he would talk about it when he had news. However, it is said that Secretary-General Qian is very low-key and never expresses his opinion on major issues. He is basically a centrist."
Low-key is either not touching his bottom line or accumulating strength. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Qian Jinsong will inevitably slowly cultivate his own power to gain a foothold in Yan Province. The current low-key may be just a test of the conflicts between all parties. However, Xia Xiang always felt that Song Chaodu should know some inside information, but he did not reveal it to Li Dingshan.
At noon, Li Dingshan put down the airs of the county party secretary and asked Xia Xiang to invite Cao Shuyan to have dinner together. Somehow, Mi Xuan did not attend, only Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang and Cao Shuyan. Cao Shuyan's grandfather used to be the district mayor, but now her father is the director. There are often more department-level officials. Seeing that Li Dingshan did not have the official accent of ordinary bureaucrats and had a elegant temperament, he did not call him Secretary Li, but called him Uncle Li.
Li Dingshan looked at Xia Xiang with a smile, then looked at Cao Shugui, and then patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder: "Xiao Xia, very good, a very good female classmate, don't bully him." He said to Cao Shugui, "Shugui, Xia Xiang is bullying you, tell Uncle Li and ask Uncle Li to criticize him."
Li Dingshan's smile is meaningful, and Xia Xiang couldn't say much: "Secretary Li, you are a little biased. When you meet, you tend to be unique. I have an objection." Cao Shuyan could call Li Dingshan uncle, but Xia Xiang had to abide by his duties and not to call him absent.
"If you have any opinions, keep it. Whoever makes Shuji a girl can't be more generous?" Li Dingshan was in a very good mood. When he looked at Cao Shuji, he had a little more kindness in his eyes.
Cao Shugui pulled open the chair and asked Li Dingshan to sit down: "Xia Xiang is cautious, Uncle Li is against me, you have any objections? Humph, I will talk to Uncle Li later and ignore you. What should you do?"
Li Dingshan sat down calmly, Xia Xiang was on the left, Cao Shuyi was on the right, and he sat down separately. He ordered a few dishes casually: "I am here, and you young people must not be interested in eating, just eat a little casually. Don't choose what you want. What to eat, let Xia Xiang accompany you when you have time. Uncle meets you today, just ask you to take good care of your father for me. Although I am not familiar with Director Cao, I have this relationship with you and Xia Xiang, and Director Cao is knowledgeable and a scholar-oriented leader I admire more, so I still have to ask him in person if I have the opportunity."
Li Dingshan could see Cao Shugui's dependence on Xia Xiang. One look and one movement between the two of them had a tacit understanding. As a person who experienced it, he certainly knew Cao Shugui's affection for Xia Xiang. Otherwise, she would not have traveled thousands of miles to visit Xia Xiang, so he no longer cared about it. Since Cao Shugui did not call him Secretary Li, but directly called Uncle Li, it can be seen that she is also a very smart little girl. She was born in a high-ranking family. She knew the rules and knew what to call him uncle. She expressed an attitude, so she gave Cao Shugui enough face and directly expressed her idea of wanting to get to know Cao Yongguo.
It is considered a high-level cadre to meet department-level cadres, not a loss of money. Li Dingshan said it very calmly. Cao Shuyan handed the menu to the waiter and asked her to arrange the serving. She helped Li Dingshan arrange the tableware in person, and then said to Xia Xiang: "You can set it yourself, so you don't care about you."
Xia wanted to know that his role as a bridge had been completed, and now he could be an audience member, so he giggled.
"Actually, my father likes to do things and write, but his level is limited. He often complains that he has no literary cells. This time he can go back and behave like to show him a good reputation and introduce him to a reporter. He will definitely praise me well, and maybe there will be rewards!" Cao Shuyan was very obedient to pour water for Li Dingshan, and pretended to be reluctant to pour a cup for Xia Xiang, and finally filled it up. Then he sat down, "Uncle Li, we have agreed that we will go back to Yan City when we have time, and Xia Wan will definitely take you to our house. I think you and my father will definitely be able to talk to you."
Li Dingshan drank tea, and the more he looked at Cao Shukin, the more he loved him. He had also seen many daughters of high-ranking officials. Some were as arrogant as princesses, some were so arrogant that they were difficult to contact. Few people were as cute as Cao Shukin and did not deliberately grasp their identities. Their words and deeds were very natural, and they said a few words to make him happy.
He not only gave him face, but also praised him for his talent. He also said as if she asked him to know Director Cao, and he quietly raised him. He was such a smart girl.
Li Dingshan cast a praise look at Xia Xiang, thinking that Xia Xiang was really his blessing. Not only did he give advice for him, he also secretly found a director's daughter to be his girlfriend. No, maybe he will be the mayor's daughter soon. This young man may not have any surprises hidden on him, and he is also a rare talent.
Li Dingshan felt very relieved.
Xia Xiang just smiled implicitly, and the conversation between Li Dingshan and Cao Shugeng made him very pleased. He had long experienced Cao Shugeng's wit. He saw it again today and secretly praised her for her cleverness. He also knew that after this, he would be more responsive to Li Dingshan's mind.
While Li Dingshan was happy, he took a vacation for Xia Xiang and asked him to take it as a job to complete it seriously. Li Dingshan was right. Cao Shuyan was a girl, and Xia Xiang seemed to have not done any serious business. In fact, as the secretary of the leader, accompanying the director's daughter is also a political task. What's more, if Cao Yongguo really wants to be the executive vice mayor of Yan City, he has a much greater power than the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. With the title of Standing Committee, he will actually take a big step forward. Cao Shuyan, as the mayor's daughter, is also an important bridge for Li Dingshan to have a good relationship with Cao Yongguo.
Xia Xiang suggested going to the grassland in the afternoon, but Cao Shuyan naturally had no objection, so Mi Xuan also appeared in time and wanted to go with them. Xia Xiang guessed that Mi Xuan was actually deliberately avoiding Li Dingshan and was unwilling to contact Li Dingshan as Wang Quanyou's daughter to avoid unnecessary trouble. Xia Xiang could understand Mi Xuan's mentality, so he pretended not to know.
Xia Xiang proposed to visit Huahaiyuan and got unanimous approval from Cao Shugui and Mi Xuan. Mi Xuan was very enthusiastic and said he wanted to drive. When he arrived in Jiazhai Township, Xia Xiang found Huang Hai. After Huang Hai led his horse out, he realized that he was facing an embarrassing problem. Cao Shugui and Mi Xuan were wearing skirts and could not ride horses.
Seeing Cao Shuqian's embarrassment, Mi Xuan smiled happily. She got into the car and after a while, she changed into jeans. It turned out that she was ready.
Cao Shuqian frowned slightly: "Or why don't I go, even if Sister Xuan borrows me a pair of pants, I can't ride a horse."
"My horses are very obedient and not fierce at all. They are very honest. Don't be afraid of my little girl. I can help you lead the horse. It's definitely okay." Huang Hai said hurriedly, afraid that the business would be ruined.
Cao Shuyan looked at the horse, which was not much shorter than her, looked at Xia Xiang, and shook his head.
"My girl, I have a way..." Mi Xuan smiled wickedly, grabbed the reins and turned over the horse very quickly, "You don't have to change your pants anymore, and I don't bring any extras. Just sit on the horse, sit in front of Xia Xiang, and let him protect you. It's romantic and safe. What's the point? Thank you very much, right? Why don't you thank me soon."
Although Cao Shuyan was shy, he still couldn't help but have fun thoughts. Finally, he blushed and sat in front of Xia Xiang, his left shoulder tightly pressed against his chest, and his butt was close to his right leg. He felt a surge of elasticity and heat invasion, which made her feel anxious for no reason and did not dare to look at Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang was afraid that she would fall down, holding the reins with her left hand, holding her little waist with her right hand, and blew a breath in her ear: "Don't be ashamed, just treat me as your brother. It's natural for brother to protect her sister, right?"
Cao Shuqian's body swayed back and forth as the horse moved, and he was so scared that he grabbed Xia Xiang's arm tightly: "Don't be bad, don't throw me down, okay?" The witty little girl disappeared, completely like a little sheep who was slaughtered.
Xia Xiang didn't feel funny: "What did the girl in Nai say? Why would I throw you down? Am I that bad?"
"If you have it, you have it." Cao Shuyan deliberately spoke loudly, as if the louder the voice, the more it would relieve her fear. "Besides, I'm so white and you're so black, who wants you to be your brother? I'm afraid you'll bring me black."
Huang Hai was riding a horse in front to open the way, and Mi Xuan followed closely. Xia Xiang and Cao Shugui rode together. Because of her timidity, they did not dare to walk fast, so they believed that the horse would run freely and slowly moved forward, and were already far behind the two of them in front. Everyone who could ride horses knew that the horse actually only ran smoothly. When walking slowly, it shook violently. Cao Shugui's body hit Xia Xiang's chest one after another, allowing him to fully understand what it means to bump into a heart like a deer.
Cao Shukai was not low and sat with Xia Xiang. He almost reached his eyes. He could see the thin fluff on her neck, her almost transparent ears shining by the sun, and her extremely sexy collarbone. Many women have beautiful necks, but their collarbones are often timid, which will ruin the scenery. Cao Shukai is not, with thin shoulders and deep collarbones, which is very attractive.
Xia Xiang's arm was so painful that it was caught by Cao Shuyan. Knowing that she was really afraid of riding a horse, she wanted to divert her attention: "Hors are gentle animals, good friends of humans. They will not hurt people, so don't be afraid. Besides, you don't have to be so nervous. Last time you hugged me upstairs in Jiajia Supermarket, you didn't see you a little nervous, let alone blushing. Why is it so abnormal today?"
"Who hugged you? Just talk nonsense." Cao Shuyan quit, turned his face and said in a pretentious manner, "It's obvious that you hugged me, I sacrificed my life to save you. You are so good. You don't remember my goodness, but instead falsely accused good people. He is such an ungrateful puppy."
"No, I remember that you took the initiative to throw yourself into your arms, why did I hug you again? Besides, even if I hugged you on my own initiative, I was hugged by you later, and I almost broke me out of breath. I didn't expect you to be very strong, and I guess I can't beat you even if I fight..." Xia Xiang continued to mess around.
"You still say?" Cao Shuqian's face turned red, as if all the red flowers around him flew on his face. "Don't say it anymore, or I'll push you down, throw you a slut, and cry you! Xiao Xia thought, a bad guy, he's thick-skinned when he talks bad things!"
“…”
Xia Xiang laughed, and when he saw Cao Shuyan slowly relaxing and no longer being so afraid of riding a horse, he stopped teasing her and brought the topic to Cao Yongguo's recent trends.
When Cao Shuyan heard the amazing news that Xia Xiang received, he was also extremely surprised: "Dad never revealed at all that he wanted to be the deputy mayor. Where did you hear about it? Not to mention the fake news spread by people with ulterior motives, right?"
Xia Xiang shook his head and denied Cao Shuyan's speculation: "No, it's the news I got directly from the provincial party committee. The key is not the truth or falsehood of the news, but it was said that Mayor Chen Feng took the initiative to make your father the deputy mayor of Yan City. There was no contact between Mayor Chen and your father, right?"
"My father doesn't know Mayor Chen, and he has never heard of him telling him what he has to do with Mayor Chen. Why Mayor Chen took the initiative to call my father as his deputy, it's really strange." Cao Shuyan looked forward thoughtfully, stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have met Mayor Chen in the railway station square."
From Cao Shuyan's words, Xia Xiang guessed the general problem, and suddenly realized that Chen Feng first went from the leisure square to the railway station square, and inspected lightly, was that he encountered huge resistance in the transformation of the urban village.
The conflict between Chen Feng and Gao Chengsong is inevitable. Even if Chen Feng will give in, Xia wants to know that Nanfang Yijian has too much appetite and wants to annex the entire Yan City and even the construction market in Yan Province. With Chen Feng's character, he will never hand over all the infrastructure projects after the transformation of Yan City's urban villages to Nanfang Yijian, because Nanfang Yijian has no qualifications and no technical strength, Chen Feng will not allow them to transfer contracting.
If Cao Yongguo can become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor of Yan City, it is a crucial step in his political life. Yan City is a deputy provincial city, and the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee is also a department-level member. The level has not been upgraded, but it is also a huge leap. If he goes well, he may enter the ranks of provincial and ministerial officials in the future. However, according to Chen Feng's intention, after Cao Yongguo becomes the deputy mayor, he will definitely be in charge of the Chengjiankou and will inevitably meet Gao Chengsong head-on. Cao Yongguo is also a straightforward person, otherwise he would not be excluded by Gao Chengsong to the Surveying and Mapping Bureau in the future. Now his fate has changed. As the deputy mayor, he has a conflict with Gao Chengsong again because of the Southern Yijian and Gao Chengsong. I am afraid that in the end, he will be as optimistic as Chen Feng.
However, as long as the province reaches a compromise, once the appointment is issued, it will not be changed by manpower. Moreover, for Cao Yongguo, this is also a very rare opportunity and must not be missed. Xia Xiang thought with concern that he had been waiting for the moment when Gao Jianyuan surfaced, waiting for an opportunity to contact Gao Jianyuan, and wanted to secretly influence Gao Chengsong to realize his plan. It seems that Cao Yongguo is really going to become the deputy mayor of Yan City, and his fate will be tied to Chen Feng. In other words, if there is a conflict between Cao Yongguo and Gao Chengsong, he will definitely not stand idly by.
Although the change in the fate of Cao Yongguo was caused by Chen Feng, in the final analysis, it was because of his appearance, which indirectly led to Chen Feng's attention to Cao Yongguo. Xia Xiang looked at Cao Shuyan who was close at hand. He remembered that Cao Yongguo put down the director's honor and asked about his stay in Yan City, and secretly made up his mind that whether it was for Director Cao's career or for Cao Shuyan's happiness, he would definitely try every means to deal with Gao Chengsong to the end.
