Chapter 1445 Just at the right time

After Li Bingwen left, Ma Jie took over as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He also served as the director of the Provincial Public Security Department. He ranked fifth among the Standing Committee of the Yan Provincial Party Committee and was a real person with great power.

Ma Jie and Song Chaodu have always had a very close relationship. After Song Chaodu left Yan Province, he has always been one of the relationship networks that Xia Xiang could count on on the front line of the public security system.

At the same time, Ma Jie and Cao Yongguo's old friend, Sun Dingguo, the former Yan City Public Security Bureau Director, also had a very good relationship. Sun Dingguo has retired due to his age. He is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the Yan City Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Xie Kepan, is also a candidate he and Sun Dingguo jointly drafted. He has always treated Xia Xiang like his son and nephew, and is very pleased that Xia Xiang has been promoted all the way.

Today, I heard from Song Chaodu that Xia Xiang had arrived in Yan City. He happened to live close to him, so I walked forward. If we follow the comparison rankings and as the secretary of the Xia Xiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was higher than his ranking in the provincial party committee, Ma Jie sighed and knew that Xia Xiang's future was limitless.

Xia Xiang was slightly surprised when he heard that it was Ma Jie coming.

Among the Yan Provincial Party Committee, Ma Jie is not included among the Standing Committee members who have a good relationship with him. Perhaps because Ma Jie is relatively straightforward and has a very personality, during his time in Yan Provincial Party Committee, although Ma Jie has always been consistent with him in major events, the two had no selfish relationships and rarely had private contact.

Xia Xiang was thinking about how much power he could activate among the Yan Provincial Party Committee. He ignored Ma Jie and did not count him. He didn't want to have an unexpected surprise as soon as he entered the door.

Xia Xiang greeted the door and saw Ma Jie wearing only casual clothes and coming with his hands behind his back. He knew it was a private meeting and hurriedly welcomed him into the room: "Secretary Ma's visit is the first happy event I just met when I returned to Yan City."

Ma Jie smiled: "So, Secretary Xia must have had many happy events when he comes back this time?" He glanced at Peng Yunfeng and Chen Tianyu, and he took the initiative to reach out, "Secretary General Peng, Mayor Chen, you are young and have a straightforward leg and run ahead of me."

Ma Jie spoke funny, and Peng Yunfeng and Chen Tianyu would not say some unnutritional clichés, so they made a few jokes.

Peng Yunfeng and Ma Jie are quite familiar with each other. Chen Tianyu and Ma Jie don’t have much contact with each other, but they also know each other. Ma Jie also knows that Peng Yunfeng and Chen Tianyu are the most focused forces Xia Xiang cultivates in Yan Province. In addition, the two are indeed important in their positions, so they are polite to them.

After saying a few gossips, when Cao Yongguo came back tomorrow, and when Song Chaodu might not have time to go back to Yan City, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Seeing lunch time, Peng Yunfeng observed his face and saw Xia Xiang's eyes beating, he immediately understood Xia Xiang's thoughts, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Secretary Ma, he has been working in the provincial party committee compound. When I looked up and saw him, I remembered that it seemed that I hadn't invited you to have a meal yet. It would be better to get there today than to sit together at noon."

If Peng Yunfeng only said the above words, if he had sincerity and strength were not enough, Ma Jie could refuse it at once. However, Peng Yunfeng was originally a person with clear mind. After he was trained as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, he was even more skillful in human relations. He added: "I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. In fact, today is Secretary Xia's big banquet for guests, and they are all relatives and friends recognized by Secretary Xia..."

The last sentence has a clear hint. Ma Jie is also considered Xia Xiang's relatives and friends. He also knows that Xia Xiang's influence in Yan Province is amazing, and getting close to Xia Xiang will be beneficial to him without any harm.

Ma Jie came today, but he had just spoken with Song Chaodu. Song Chaodu was half joking and half serious about asking him to visit Xia Xiang for him. He also intended to get closer to Xia Xiang, so he did this. Unexpectedly, Peng Yunfeng wanted to invite him to the banquet for Xia, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Xia Xiang smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Uncle Ma, don't be polite. Otherwise, I will call Uncle Song and tell him, do you don't like to get along with young people?"

"Haha, I want to sue me, Xia Xiang, don't sow discord between me and Chao Du. I have known him for decades..." Xia Xiang's kind title touched a string in Ma Jie's heart. Only then did he realize that the young deputy provincial senior official in front of him was actually a kind young man who could be made intimately under the dazzling halo. "But then again, I am still willing to get along with the young people."

With a word, a heavyweight deputy provincial senior official added to today's party.

In fact, with Xia Xiang's influence in Yan Province, he could invite several members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but first, today's gathering was mainly about relatives and friends, political and economic teams, and second, it was the first day of the gathering, and time was rushed, so there was no time to invite heavyweight relationships.

Ma Jie's unexpected appearance is still worthy of thanks to Song Chaodu.

Xia Xiang secretly sighed that Song Chaodu had been away from Yan Province, and in fact he was still paying close attention to Yan Province's every move. Ma Jie was definitely not just Song Chaodu said casually, and Song Chaodu would not be too idle to let a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee say hello to him - I am afraid that Song Chaodu would hear or expect that Fan Ruiheng would have any abnormal movements before leaving office. Therefore, Ma Jie's appearance was a move to give him a great help.

...Xia Xiang guessed correctly. There was indeed a high degree of tacit understanding between Song Chaodu and him. Afterwards, Ma Jie was very glad to get close to Xia Xiang at the first time, which allowed him to gain a better foothold in Yan Province and gain a lot of rewards!

On the way to the Qi Building, Xia Xiang received a call from Cao Yongguo.

Cao Yongguo had arranged everything and arrived in Yan City early tomorrow morning, with only the driver and secretary, and no outsiders. When he heard Ma Jie and Xia Xiang were in the same car, Cao Yongguo happily said a few words to Ma Jie.

Ma Jie also heard the news that Cao Yongguo was about to be promoted to the Secretary of the Hei Liao Provincial Party Committee, but he was not sure. At his level, he could find out a rough idea if he wanted to inquire, but he was indifferent and unwilling to worry, so he didn't ask much.

However, after chatting with Cao Yongguo, I remembered the past and was in a good mood.

After putting down Cao Yongguo's phone call, Ma Jie felt that today's decision was extremely correct. Being in Xia Xiang was not only equivalent to repaying the favors of the Song Dynasty, but also indirectly approaching Cao Yongguo. Not to mention that Cao Yongguo might take office as Secretary of the Hei Liao Provincial Party Committee, it was just based on Xia Xiang's youth and strength. Whether it was his influence in Yan Province or the rising trend in domestic politics, it was countless reasons for him to make friends.

So...Ma Jie still couldn't help but feel curious: "Secretary Xia, I heard the wind, may Governor Cao move?"

Faced with Ma Jie's temptation, Xia Xiang did not hide it, and was a little implicit: "The Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee is about to be held..."

"Gu Qiushi is going to enter the game?" Ma Jie immediately realized the key point.

There are also people who know about Gu Qiushi's entry into the bureau among the deputy provincial senior officials, but not many of them. Few people have the convenience of directly contacting the senior management like Xia Xiang, and few people are qualified and capable of participating in the political struggles at the highest level. Moreover, Gu Qiushi's affairs are still strictly confidential under the request of the General Secretary.

Of course, many provincial and ministerial officials are naturally clear, but no one will say anything randomly. Sometimes, political treatment is not only reflected in the luxury of cars, but also in the fact that they know the central government's major decisions first.

Since it is his own privilege, no one will delegate power. On the basis of major confidential inside information, all senior provincial and ministerial officials will keep their mouths tight.

The issue disclosed to the public by the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee was to study rural issues, and there was no formal mention of personnel. It is understandable that Ma Jie did not understand the inside story.

Xia Xiang just nodded slightly and ignored Ma Jie's question. In fact, it was a default expression, but immediately changed the topic: "Secretary Ma, I met Tan Guorui at the airport today."

If Ma Jie was slightly surprised when he saw Xia Xiang just now, the news that Xia Xiang revealed again would not only shock him. Xia Xiang has left Yan Province for more than a year and returned to Yan Province. Not only is it a huge momentum, but it also seems to be preparing for a major layout. It should be the time for him to go to the banquet?

Tan Guorui...isn't he not very much deal with Xia Xiang, he looked for Xia Xiang, what did he mean?

Xia Xiang didn't keep it a secret and pointed out the theme directly: "Secretary Ma, Governor Tan told me that Secretary Fan was going to make a big move in Yan Province before leaving office. Some of the adjustments involved my interests, and I was very dissatisfied!"

Xia Xiang is not the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission of Yan Province, but he is only a deputy provincial level after all. He pointed at Yan Province's personnel adjustments in a very dissatisfied tone and accused a dignified provincial party secretary. If someone else hears it, it may feel harsh, and even thinks Xia Xiang is arrogant. But to Ma Jie, although Xia Xiang's tone is light, he has a firm confidence and courage to resist Fan Ruiheng.

Ma Jie's heart was shocked, and he calculated silently, and he couldn't help but feel shocked. He had not carefully estimated Xia Xiang's influence in Yan Province before, but now he thought about it carefully, and it really shocked him so much.

Xia Xiang has been away from Yan Province for more than a year, and he has long stopped serving in any position in Yan Province, but his influence and voice among the Standing Committee of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, and even he, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, ranked fifth in the Provincial Party Committee, is not as good as that of him!

No matter what purpose Fan Ruiheng provoked Xia Xiang, what Ma Jie knew was that Secretary Fan would wave goodbye when he wanted to leave, and if he wanted to promote his confidants, he would promote him. It would be necessary to involve Xia Xiang's interests. Could it be that he was dizzy?

Ma Jie also knew that another meaning that Xia Xiang explained to him in person was to wait for his reply. Because, judging from Xia Xiang's formation after he came back, a confrontation was inevitable.

Ma Jie pondered slightly and expressed his position: "It is normal for Secretary Fan to have ideas, but what is not optimistic is that there will be great resistance."

Xia Xiang smiled with satisfaction and said something that made Ma Jie's eyes tempted: "Uncle Ma, I will introduce an old leader from Yan Province to you later. After you see him, you will definitely thank me."
