Chapter 1353: People are in the north, but they care about the south of the world

The Prime Minister's moves fast enough!

The timing is clever enough!

Xia Xiang smiled helplessly at Lian Ruohan, "Please tell the old man, I will listen to his teachings later."

Lian Ruohan secretly twisted Xia Xiang: "After that, he is a real father-in-law, he is really obedient."

Lian Ruohan was jealous of Cao Shuyan around the bend, and Xia Xiang stretched out his arm to make her twist a few more times: "In life, there are always difficult choices. A virtuous woman will always light a lamp for men before the storm comes, illuminating the way home."

"I can speak well, I dare not recognize you now." Xia Xiang's sweet words hit Lian Ruohan. She was reluctant to twist Xia Xiang again. She rubbed Xia Xiang's arm and then blew on her breath, "You have to remember the way home. After I go back, I will light the light first and illuminate every road. If you don't come back, it will be unreasonable."

Xia Want to know that the few days of getting along made Lian Ruohan feel tender and tender, which was unprecedentedly gentle and considerate.

I turned to Lao Gu's residence and was caught in traffic on the road, so I received another call from Chen Feng.

"Xia Xiang, when will you have time? I know that you come to the capital, and the time schedule must be very tight, but I have priority." As Xia Xiang's position improved, the only people who still talked to Xia Xiang casually but were not alienated were Chen Feng and Song Chaodu.

"Okay, Secretary Chen has his life, no one dares to refuse!" Xia Xiang joked and pondered, "Wait for my phone call, I will see the Prime Minister first."

"The Prime Minister wants to see you?" Chen Feng was very surprised and then smiled, "It's another round of storm. Xia Xiang, you must stand firm and identify the direction."

Chen Feng's reminder was half true and half false, half serious and half joking, and Xia Xiang just laughed it off. He also knew that with Chen Feng's intelligence, he would not say anything clearly, because after all, the matter involved major interests.

I believe the Prime Minister knew that he had come back to Beijing because he was dealing with it, so he asked his father-in-law to step in and intercept him first. At the same time, Lao Gu was present, which was very thoughtful.

The sunshine in the capital is very good, but after the sunshine, there may be wind and rain at any time.

When I arrived at Laogu's house, it was almost afternoon. Xia Xiang had a bite of rice on the plane and was already hungry. Now it was already past mealtime, so I couldn't say hungry in front of the Prime Minister. He knew that he would taste the feeling of hunger today.

There are a few fruit trees, apples and pears in the old courtyard. When you look at it, you actually have apricot trees. Some of the fruit trees bloom and some bear fruit. The thriving scene is full of upward vitality.

The Prime Minister was wearing simple clothes, gray trousers and white clothes, just like an ordinary old man, sitting under a pear tree in the yard, playing chess with Lao Gu.

Cao Yongguo moved a chair and sat aside, watching the chess without saying a word, with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the few plainclothes disappearing around, if Xia Xiang met a few people, no one would have believed in the scene of the elderly playing chess everywhere in the streets and alleys of the capital. The three seemingly ordinary old men, one in charge of a province, one in charge of the whole country, and one in charge of the army with a lofty prestige.

Xia Xiang was stopped at the door. The Prime Minister looked up and saw him, showing a gentle smile: "Xia Xiang is here, come in quickly."

As soon as the Prime Minister spoke, no one stopped him and asked him again. Xia Xiang came to the three of them and asked in turn.

The responses of the three were also different. The Prime Minister nodded, Cao Yongguo smiled slightly, but Lao Gu did not raise his head and said in a muffled voice: "I have to move a chair and sit down by myself. I have to say first, and I am a real gentleman who can watch chess without saying anything."

Xia Xiang was as good as chess skills, and his eyes fell on the chessboard, but he also saw that Lao Gu was already in danger, so he smiled silently, didn't speak, and sat honestly opposite Cao Yongguo.

After the afternoon sunlight passed through the tree's deep breath, it calmed down.

Although Lao Gu's chess is bad, he is quite persevering and insists on not surrendering. In the end, he was killed so that only one old coach left him, and he abandoned his son and gave up.

Lao Gu pushed the chess before turning his head to look at Xia Xiang, with a stern face: "My sure I'm hungry?"

Xia Xiang nodded honestly, thinking that Lao Gu would let him eat something, but Lao Gu smiled proudly again: "It is to make you hungry before you can experience the difficulty of fighting the people."

Well, what the elders say is, Xia Xiang also knows that it is a small matter if you are hungry today, and the problem that the Prime Minister will ask is the big problem.

The Prime Minister probably sat for a long time and stood up: "Xia Xiang, let's take a walk with me."

Xia Xiang followed the Prime Minister. Seeing that Lao Gu and his father-in-law were not moving, he knew that the Prime Minister had something to say to him alone.

"You must have a lot of feelings for Yan Province. Whoever takes over as the Secretary of the Yan Province Party Committee must have ideas?" The Prime Minister's tone was gentle, but his words were very tempted.

Xia Xiang must have ideas. Don’t say he has ideas. Just pull a passerby on the streets of Yan City and ask him if he has any ideas about who he is the provincial party secretary. He might have them, but the problem is that the provincial party secretary was not elected, but was directly appointed by the central government.

The people have no right to speak, he is a deputy provincial cadre, nor has he any right to speak. Moreover, he is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people can speak casually, but he cannot. If he says it wrong, he must bear political responsibility.

In ancient times, it was to interfere in the government affairs. Because he was at the vice-provincial level, how could he dare to point fingers at the appointment of the provincial party secretary?

But when the Prime Minister asked this question, whether it was a temptation or ulterior motive, he had to answer again.

And he couldn't just say it perfunctorily, Xia Xiang said carefully: "According to the convention, the governor should take over."

"It's not about convention, it's about your true thoughts." The Prime Minister emphasized his tone. "It's not about formal conversations, it's just about casual chats between an old man and a young man."

All the words are said to be true, and Lao Gu and Cao Yongguo are both here. What the Prime Minister wants to know must be his true thoughts, but to be fair, Xia Xiang cannot express his true thoughts.

Because he would not be consistent with the Prime Minister above the appointment of the Secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee. Even if the Prime Minister invites Lao Gu, even if his father-in-law comes forward, he will stick to his position. Politics is politics, especially at critical moments, and there is no warmth.

It’s not whether Xia Xiang wants to help his father-in-law, but he knows that it would be very unwise to choose to get close to the Prime Minister now. Not only will he not help his father-in-law get to power, but he will even achieve the opposite effect.

But it was precisely on the issue of position and principle that he and his father-in-law lacked communication, and this time the appointment of the Secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee came suddenly.

In fact, Xia Xiang thought a lot along the way. From the moment he stepped into the capital, his heart suddenly became much clearer and he had already made his own judgment that the Secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee would not be his father-in-law.

Because as Yan Province's position in the mind of the General Secretary becomes more and more important, as the father-in-law of the Prime Minister, Yan Province is his hometown and growth place, and it is difficult to become the top leader of Yan Province if you want to break through the above difficulties.

Instead of seeking a secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee who has to pay a huge price or not, it is better to wait in the Western Province for another two years, and there will definitely be a chance to sit down and be safer than now.

Because it cannot be obtained, it may have adverse negative effects.

"My personal immature view is that the secretary of the provincial party committee of Yan Province is still suitable for transfer from other places." Xia Xiang said it with difficulty, not knowing what bad consequences this sentence would have.

However, the Prime Minister did not continue to ask him why as he thought, but was silent for a moment and kept walking with his hands behind his back.

The old ancient yard is not small, but it is not big enough for people to walk for more than ten minutes. Soon, I came to the southeast corner of the yard. The Prime Minister stood under an apricot tree and reached out to pat the trunk: "In a narrow sense, I am from the north. In a broad sense, I am a temperate person, so I like the climate in the north, which is distinct in all four seasons and is gentle and neutral. I always believe that only a climate that is hot or cold can make people live long."

It is clearly about climate, but in fact it is about people's position in the officialdom. Perhaps the Prime Minister is using the temperate theory to compare his feelings of civilians...

When the predecessor came, the Prime Minister patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder again: "No matter whether you are in the south or the north, don't forget to always maintain a temperate personality."

After a brief conversation, the Prime Minister left. Before leaving, he didn't say anything more. He just said something more intentionally or unintentionally to Xia Xiang: "Ye Tiannan is a good comrade. Xia Xiang, he has a high opinion of you. I think you can become friends."

Xia Xiang thought it was just the Prime Minister who said casually, but he didn't think much about it. After the Prime Minister left, Cao Yongguo had something to leave, and he seemed to be not getting along well with Lao Gu.

Although Xia Xiang and his father-in-law are family members, they have different identities and are busy with each other. When they come to the capital, they just gathered in a hurry. But today the Prime Minister deliberately asked his father-in-law to come. What was the intention? Because the Prime Minister did not reveal any intention of letting Cao Yongguo serve as the Secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee from beginning to end!

When she sent her father-in-law outside, Xia Xiang asked her a few questions about her health with concern, but did not mention the secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee again. Her father-in-law's performance also made Xia Xiang feel at ease, and she didn't have much imperative intentions. It seemed that success or failure was just a cloud of clouds.

"I heard that you and Ye Tiannan are not in line with each other?" Before Cao Yongguo got in the car, he finally mentioned Ye Tiannan. He slapped Xia Xiang on the left shoulder solemnly, "You are also smart and foolish, and the Prime Minister's intention is that people are in the north of the earth, and they care about Tiannan."
