Chapter 1311 Critical Point

"I heard that Chen Gongfang, deputy mayor of Chendong City, was under double supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission for the collapse of Chendong Bridge?" Mei Shengping asked again knowingly.

Xia Xiang picked up the teacup and turned around gently. His heart was ups and downs. Around the appointment of the mayor of Xiangjiang River, the political struggle not only expanded, but also became increasingly fierce.

The key is that the problem in front of him is that he has to choose one between the two families of Mei and Fu.

Mei Shengping's conditions are very generous and tempting, which is very beneficial to Xia Xiang's plan. But one thing is that once he plays this card, there is almost no possibility of cooperation between him and Fu Xianfeng!

A very critical step.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after coming to Hunan Province, I faced such a major choice. The speed and fierceness of the situation were beyond Xia Xiang's original estimate.

After only thinking for a moment, Xia Xiang was Xia Xiang. Not only did he have a long vision, but he also wanted to break it. He sighed inwardly, and he couldn't blame him for being determined. No matter where Fu Xianfeng took, he could not escape the restlessness of speculation and risk in his personality.

Fu Xianfeng and Xiang Provincial Highway Bridge approached, and wanted to use the power behind Xiang Provincial Highway Bridge to compete with Zheng Sheng in order to gain the authority that a governor should have. The approach was beyond reproach, but it was still too snobbish and radical.

Xia Xiang finally responded to Mei Shengping's question: "The biggest problem of Chen Gongfang is not on the Chendong Bridge, but on the serious problem of his embezzlement and bribery and multiple wives."

"Chen Gongfang is just an ordinary deputy mayor, he is just a little shrimp." Mei Shengping smiled knowingly, knowing that Xia Xiang had taken the call. "If it was such a major accident like the collapse of Chendong Bridge, at least five or six corrupt officials would be found. The 'Xiangfan Battle' back then was just because a county and department-level cadre was angry because he failed to buy an official position and was exposed, and 7 senior officials at the department level were overthrown, from the municipal party secretary to the county party secretary, and he was taken over..."

Mei Shengping just stopped. He was the governor of Chu Province and was not good at commenting on the political situation of Hunan Province, but the implication was obvious, which was to imply that the anti-corruption work in Hunan Province was not conducive and that officials protected each other.

But the other hint is even more obvious, which is that Xia Xiang can take the collapse of the Chendong Bridge as an opportunity to fight a "Chendong Battle" in Chendong City. Under the chain reaction, the situation that affects the entire Hunan Province will be rewarding.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything in his heart. Mei Shengping wanted to give him a big gift, but accordingly, he had to pay a considerable price. However, political matters have always been like this. There are gains and losses, and there must be trade-offs.

Xia Xiang made up his mind and spoke: "Today's Longjing tea is good. Can you give me some?"

Mei Xiaolin was always on the side, silent, her eyes jumping from time to time, sometimes looking out the window, and sometimes falling on Xia Xiang, but her eyes flashed constantly, showing a strong anxiety in her heart.

It is true that Mei Xiaolin is a woman first, so she longs for Xia Xiang's support. Secondly, she is a person in the officialdom and hopes that Xia Xiang's position can be tilted towards her. In addition, her complex emotions towards Xia Xiang, so Xia Xiang's position has a crucial influence on her.

Not only the future, but also a touch of indescribable emotion in my heart.

Mei Xiaolin's heart was full of words, but she was unable to speak. She was afraid that she would be disappointed, and she wanted to hear Xia Xiang express her hope with her own ears. She was in her 30s and had never been as anxious as she was today.

It was not until Xia Xiang asked for tea that the huge rock in Mei Xiaolin's heart fell to the ground. She felt that her whole body was relaxed like she had never felt before. It was said that she had been in the officialdom for many years and should not lose her composure. But as soon as Xia Xiang opened her mouth, she hurriedly said: "Longjing tea is my treasure. I still have half a pound, I will give it to you."

Mei Shengping raised his eyebrows, shook his head helplessly, and smiled: "Xiaolin, you just promised to give me the tea, why did one daughter marry her second husband? You have to discuss it with me and then give it to Xia Xiang."

It is an hinting at Mei Xiaolin that she is too anxious and accusing Mei Xiaolin of not being too ungrateful. Even if the benefits are great, it is necessary to be reserved. After all, how can people lose their composure in the officialdom?

Mei Xiaolin was so happy that she didn't care about so much. She smiled playfully: "Uncle, Xia Xiang is not an outsider, so she doesn't care so much."

Mei Shengping sighed secretly, that is, Xia Xiang, if it were someone else, it was really hard to say whether today's meeting was good or bad. He still reminded Mei Xiaolin in time: "Are you an outsider? But outside, you still have to call Secretary Xia, and you can't call him Daming."

Xia Xiang laughed, knowing that Mei Shengping was much more cautious than before, and he was much more restrained. He was in a high position, which really made people change their temperament a little.

The next day, Mei Shengping stayed in Hunan Province for another day and met Zheng Sheng. In the afternoon of the same day, he returned to Chu Province. During this visit, he signed a package of agreements, but it was not a blank check. It is hard to say whether it can be implemented in detail in the future.

Mei Xiaolin's tea length is very suitable for you."

Xia wanted to take the tea in hand, but she didn't take too much politeness and took a sip: "It's really good tea. Governor Fu likes Biluochun more?"

Fu Xianfeng nodded and agreed: "I heard first, do you also like to drink Biluochun?"

Xia Xiang laughed: "I love Longjing the most."

As soon as these words were said, Fu Xianfeng's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to the original state. He closed the door gently and stopped using tea to describe things. Instead, he directly got to the point: "Secretary Xia, after careful consideration, I still think Comrade Bi Peng is more suitable to serve as the mayor of Xiangjiang."

It means there is no need to discuss it? Xia Xiang was also slightly disappointed. Fu Xianfeng was not a problem with being scheming. The problem is that he had too much speculation. When he thought about speculation in everything and took personal interests as the biggest starting point in everything, it would be too much.

"I will object to Bi Peng's nomination." Xia Xiang did not make any mistakes and directly stated his decision.

Fu Xianfeng also looked regretful: "Although it's a bit regretful, it doesn't matter. Everyone has their own opinions and their own statements. In the end, the minority should obey the majority."

He said it very calmly, but in fact, it is a strong hint that he saw the high and low points at the Standing Committee. Another subtext is that he has already received the support of most Standing Committee members.

"Governor Fu..." Xia Xiang advised Fu Xianfeng, "Governor Mei is full of sincerity. Should I think about it again?"

Fu Xianfeng made an official voice: "Secretary Xia, you also know my character, and I have a clear distinction between public and private. Mei Xiaolin is indeed my niece, but she has a little less experienced and cannot convince the public. Besides, I am also considering her growth, and training in the position of the deputy department for one or two years will be very beneficial to her."

These words were very perfunctory and had no level at all. Xia Xiang knew that Fu Xianfeng had lost his patience. No matter what starting point Fu Xianfeng was based on, he knew that there was no possibility of shaking hands between him and Fu Xianfeng on this matter.

Xia Xiang followed the principle that he could say goodbye and parted. He stood up and shook hands with Fu Xianfeng, and left him. Fu Xianfeng also sent him to the door, and he still treated him very well.

Xia Xiang smiled and nodded at Fu Xianfeng, turned around and walked. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said casually: "Governor Fu, I suggest that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission remove Tang Jiashao from the position of general manager of Xiang Provincial Road Bridge, so that the province can be passive." He paused again and added, "It is just a suggestion, for reference only by Governor Fu."

Whether the SASAC dismisses a department-level state-owned enterprise leader does not need to alarm the prestigious governor, but Xia Xiang said it in front of Fu Xianfeng, which is very meaningful, and it also reminds you kindly to avoid passive suggestions at that time. The statement is tactful, but it is actually a hidden clever one!

It is obvious that the Commission for Discipline Inspection has obtained evidence of Tang Jiashou and may have to take action against Tang Jiashou. If the Commission for Discipline Inspection directly took Tang Jiashou and guided a little bit of the fact that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission had never expressed its opinion in the incident of Tang Jiashou beating people some time ago. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was not passive, but very passive, and would probably be criticized by the media.

Fu Xianfeng's face suddenly became extremely bad. Xia Xiangmian's wrist, which once again caused the scars buried in his heart to hurt again. For a moment, he seemed to hear the sound of the river running in the Xiama River.

The distance between him and Xia Xiang is really getting further and further away? Fu Xianfeng, who has experienced several methods that make people unable to defend against in Xia Xiang, was disappointed for a moment and stood at the door of the governor's office, without moving for a long time.

Two days later, another secretary's office meeting was held, and unanimously decided to nominate Mei Xiaolin and Bi Peng as candidates for the Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee and formally submitted it to the Standing Committee for voting.

Xia Xiang didn't know what the specific situation of the secretary's office meeting was, because he didn't attend the matter.

As an important personnel appointment, the Standing Committee was very solemn as soon as the meeting was held. All the Standing Committee members arrived early, whispering in groups, talking in a low voice and exchanging opinions.

Xia Xiang sat in the fourth position, his face calm as water, holding a stack of information in his hand, and looked around for a few times. He did not exchange opinions with others, but just nodded with Liang Xianing when he first came in.

Today's Standing Committee will be a major review of the situation in Hunan Province. It is also the rehearsal of the first reshuffle after Fu Xianfeng served as governor and Xia Xiang served as secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. It will have a far-reaching impact on the future situation in Hunan Province.
