Chapter 1278: Taking office, the beginning

The meeting with Gu Qiushi was actually not mentioned in a serious matter. He only drank half an hour of tea, reminiscing about the past, looking forward, and then shook hands and said goodbye. Only at the end, Gu Qiushi said meaningfully: "A term as secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission is a big challenge. Xia Xiang, you have to look at the road before you settle down."

The next day, Xia Xiang, accompanied by Wu Caiyang, the Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, flew from the capital to Hunan Province and officially took office as Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!

Hunan Province is located in the southern part of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Xiang River runs through the north and south, so it is called Hunan Province. It is said that many hibiscus plants in the Xiang River basin in the past. Tan Yongzhi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said that the hibiscus country "The autumn wind of thousands of miles of hibiscus country", so Hunan Province is also known as the "hibiscus country".

Xiangjiang City, the capital of Hunan Province, is also known as "Star City" and "Taiwan Capital of the World". It is one of the country's first historical and cultural cities. It enjoys the reputation of "China's Happy Capital" and "China's Power Capital". However, in Xia Xiang's view, the so-called "Happy Capital" actually includes derogatory meanings.

Hunan Province has a developed entertainment industry, especially the TV entertainment industry, which is very famous in the country and almost surpasses CCTV.

Having said that, the extraordinary development of the media and entertainment industry has also added many economic growth points to Hunan Province.

Xia Xiang and Wu Caiyang were on a special plane. As soon as they landed, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zheng Sheng, Governor Fu Xianfeng, and all members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and the main leaders of the four major teams were all here. One reason was that Wu Caiyang was present and members of the Central Political Bureau must have corresponding reception specifications. The other was that Xia Xiang's position was also an important position in the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and ranked very high in the Standing Committee!

Although many people have known that Xia Xiang is young for a long time, they are still secretly surprised when they actually met him. They are too young and everyone thinks they have been through the officialdom for a long time, but this is the first time they have seen such a young deputy provincial official. To be precise, they are such a young secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!

Zheng Shengxian shook hands with Wu Caiyang. When he and Wu Caiyang were chatting, he smiled and was very enthusiastic. He even whispered a few words quietly, which seemed to be as close as his relationship with Wu Caiyang and his personal relationship. Those who didn't know really thought that the two were close friends.

In fact, Xia Xiang knew in his heart that Wu Caiyang and Zheng Sheng had no personal relationship.

Instead, when Fu Xianfeng shook hands with Wu Caiyang, he just nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. Although the smiles on the two of them were quite real, in the eyes of outsiders, there was always a hint of indifference in doing business.

In fact, at Xia Xiang's level, he is not the head of a province or the secretary of the provincial party committee, so there is no need for the Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to personally send him a job, but the rules are dead and things are alive. Wu Caiyang came here in person, which was to raise Xia Xiang and have other intentions.

Hunan Province, after Fu Xianfeng became the governor, became a must-fight place for family forces and the regiment.

The General Secretary is about to step down and has stepped up his layout. Almost all the first and second leaders of domestic provinces have been rotated and have already won half of the country. But Guan Yuanqu is about to take over, and he will definitely step up his recovery of lost territory. As a representative figure of the family power, Fu Xianfeng's role as the governor of Hunan Province also means that the family power's comprehensive counterattack begins.

After Guan Yuanqu truly takes over the power, he will step up the acquisition of power, which will inevitably trigger a new round of personnel adjustment turmoil. Of course, Guan Yuanqu will not be too radical, and will definitely slowly plan.

However, Guan Yuanqu is different from the General Secretary. After becoming the first person, he was too restricted and his supporters were not enough. Therefore, it took a long time to finally take full control. Behind Guan Yuanqu was supported by a huge family force, so after he took office, it would probably take only about two years to take charge of the game.

When Fu Xianfeng came to Hunan Province, he could straighten up in one step. There must be Mr. Wu's tacit consent behind him, and even the support of Yuanqu, which might be a long-term layout of the family forces.

But Xia Xiang also knew that the situation in Hunan Province... was too complicated.

If the Provincial Party Secretary Zheng Sheng is a member of the League and Governor Fu Xianfeng is a family force, then the Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Ye Tiannan belongs to the Premier League. Although Wu Caiyang didn't talk much on the plane, he still revealed something to Xia Xiang, such as the Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Ye Tiannan is a confidant of the Prime Minister. Xia Want to treat it with caution, while the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Liang Xianing is unclear in his position and is the target that Xia Xiang can fight for.

After Liang Xianing returned from the Central Party School, he was transferred from the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee to the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, and Zheng Haiqi was the vacant position of Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee.

Zheng Haiqi is 36 years old this year, only two years older than Xia Xiang. He has been working in the League system. He is an absolute League department. He was originally the Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Youth League Committee. He moved from the main department to the deputy provincial government. He is also considered an extremely young deputy provincial senior official in China.

It is said that in the process of Zheng Haiqi moving from the main hall to the deputy provincial government, Zheng Sheng was the behind-the-scenes promoter and strongly recommended it, which finally made Zheng Haiqi the youngest deputy provincial official in Hunan Province. If Xia wanted to come to Hunan Province, Zheng Haiqi would be the well-deserved young and promising first in Hunan Province.

It’s a pity that Xia Xiang’s arrival not only made him lose his age advantage, but also made him a halo of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee pale.

Xia Xiang is two years younger than Zheng Haiqi, but he is the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Not only is he much more powerful than the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, but he is also more important!

Wu Caiyang didn't say much about the position and background of other Standing Committee members, and Xia Xiang was not very clear about it, but just the above points he knew had already made him see the situation clearly. Although it was a bit exaggerated to describe Hunan Province as a dragon and a tiger's den, it would be absolutely appropriate to use confusing to describe the current situation in Hunan Province.

...When Xia Xiang shook hands with Zheng Sheng, Zheng Sheng did not express too much. He just smiled and said a few clichés, patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder to express his affection and welcome.

Xia wanted to shake hands with Fu Xianfeng, but Fu Xianfeng didn't say much. The relationship was close to a certain level and there was no need to deliberately reveal it in front of others. However, Fu Xianfeng still said a concern: "Secretary Xia is probably tired on the road, so he can rest well and maintain a good spirit to carry out his work."

When Xia Xiang shook hands with deputy secretary Ye Tiannan, Ye Tiannan's performance was a little more enthusiastic. He held Xia Xiang's hand and said something for half a minute, and he cared about everything from work to life.

Ye Tiannan is 49 years old this year. He looks young, neither fat nor thin, medium-sized, slightly bald on his head, and is quite honest in other aspects. It should be said that among officials, his appearance and body shape are above average.

Xia Xiang was just a few polite words to Ye Tiannan and did not say it in depth.

His position is unclear now. When he came to Hunan Province, he was airborne directly from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and had the label of the League system on his forehead. However, when he was promoted to the vice-province, his family forces carried him into the Standing Committee of the Yan Provincial Party Committee. In addition, his actions were of civilian sentiment. Therefore, when he came to Hunan Province, he was both the object of struggle for and the object of guarding against all parties.

In fact, he is equivalent to being in a vortex and seems very popular, but if he is not careful, he may be involved in disputes and confrontations of interests among all parties.

At the same time, Xia Xiang also knew that he had come to Hunan Province to face two huge challenges. One was that he had to take sides and demonstrate his political stance and tendencies. The other was that he had to show sufficient persuasive political achievements when he was appointed as the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, otherwise his path to the main office would be full of difficulties and obstacles.

When shaking hands with Liang Xianing, Liang Xianing was also very enthusiastic and joked with Xia Xiang: "When I was at the Party School, I thought that it would be a blessing if Secretary Xia could come to Hunan Province. I didn't expect that he would really have the opportunity to work with Secretary Xia. Haha, I'm looking forward to it..."

Liang Xianing entered the sub-province much earlier than Xia Xiang. When he was at the Central Party School, Xia Xiang was not showing any signs of the mountains and rivers. Although some people were surprised that he entered the sub-province sequence early, he was equivalent to idle at that time, so some people were not optimistic about Xia Xiang's prospects. Even Liang Xianing believed that Xia Xiang might have to stay dormant for two years.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Xia Xiang was parachuted from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to Hunan Province to become the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, ranking far above him. In addition to shocking Xia Xiang's rapid promotion, Liang Xianing had some more thoughts in his mind.

Liang Xianing is not all pretending to be enthusiastic and kind to Xia Xiang today, but also has a selfish intention.

Xia Xiang could guess Liang Xianing's intentions at all times. He also had a good impression of Liang Xianing. In addition, he was the target he might be fighting for, and he was the director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization who held the power of personnel, so he was a little polite.

The handshakes and chatter of other members of the Standing Committee are mostly formalities, after all, they are not familiar with each other.

Only Zheng Haiqi was more polite and said a few more words to Xia Xiang. As the secretary-general of the provincial party committee and the manager of the provincial party committee, it was normal for him to act eagerly and to arrange accommodation and life matters.

Afterwards, the group came to the provincial party committee compound in Hunan Province.

Hunan Province is located south of the Yangtze River. The climate is humid and warm, which is also a brand new experience for Xia Xiang. Of course, the provincial party committee compound of Hunan Province has no scenery to see. The architecture of party and government agencies emphasizes squareness and seriousness, similarities and the same.

Then there is a meeting and the appointment is officially announced.

All members of the four teams of Hunan Province, the provincial court, the provincial procuratorate and other relevant departments were all here, and Wu Caiyang, Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, formally promoted the central government's decision.

Then Zheng Sheng and Fu Xianfeng spoke separately, expressing their firm support for the central government's decision and welcome Comrade Xia Xiang to work in Hunan Province.

As usual, Xia Xiang also delivered a brief speech.

The conference ended successfully, and Xia Xiang officially became the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!

In the evening, a grand welcome banquet was held to invite Wu Caiyang and Xia Xiang to join.

Halfway through the banquet, Wu Caiyang took the opportunity to leave. After Wu Caiyang left, the atmosphere became much more active. After all, there was a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and no one could let go of it.

The banquet was held successfully, smoothly and in an orderly manner, and everyone was happy. After all, the level was high, and the scene would definitely be smooth. Huahuaqiaozi was carried by everyone.

Zheng Haiqi helped Xia Xiang arrange accommodation very well. At Xia Xiang's level, there is no need to worry about life problems wherever she goes now.

When I went to work the next day, according to Xia Xiang's idea, I must first get familiar with working for a while before I got into the state. Unexpectedly, I encountered a problem on the first day of work - it was still a huge problem.
