Chapter 148 Mr. Shi’s warning and Xiao Jia’s thoughts

Mr. Shi said unhappily: "Xiaoxia, young people, you should be energetic, and say as long as you should, don't hesitate. Shi Jie is my daughter. I know in my heart what kind of temper she has. Back then, I was busy with work and neglected to discipline her, so that when she grew up, she never knew how to respect others, and ended up today... I won't talk about her anymore, tell me what you think."

Having said that, Xia Xiang knew that Mr. Shi really wanted to hear his true thoughts, so he told the truth: "I think any man, including Secretary Li, cannot tolerate his wife posing as a lofty attitude every day. A truly noble person, even if he stands at the top of the world, looks down on others rather than despises him. Looking down is the moonlight. No matter the moonlight is sprinkled in the magnificent palace or in the stinky ditch, the moonlight is still the moonlight, not noble or dirty. Slouching is snowflakes, falling on gold, it will be dyed gold. When falling on dirty mud, it will be turned into dirty water."

Xia Xiang regretted it after he finished speaking. He knew that he was talking a little heavy, and he didn't know why he, who had always been calm, suddenly felt so many feelings because of Shi Jie's contempt? In fact, with his tolerance, Shi Jie is just an outdated child of a high-ranking official, and there is no need to worry about her. Perhaps he was holding on to Li Dingshan, or perhaps because the anger he had received on Lian Ruohan was nowhere to be released, and when he happened to meet Shi Jie, it inevitably came out?

Mr. Shi's face changed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He stared at Xia Xiang for a while. After all, as a chief official of Feng Ji, his official power would be imposing. This was the first time in his life that Xia Xiang had a face-to-face conversation with a senior provincial and ministerial official. Although Mr. Shi had been idle for several years, he had been an official all his life, and had a high position in the officialdom for a long time. Over time, he developed an oppressive aura that made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Xia Xiang didn't speak, his eyes were as clear as water, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, trying to keep calm and look at Mr. Shi, and warned himself that if Mr. Shi was as arrogant and arrogant as Shi Jie, he would tell Li Dingshan truthfully after he returned. As for how Li Dingshan made a decision, he could even know the result without even guessing.

I don’t know how long it took, but the fitness ball in Mr. Shi’s hand made a friction sound because of the rotation, and his momentum also disappeared. He then laughed: “The way to be an official is not to be cautious everywhere. Sometimes you have to dare to tell the truth, dare to contradict, and express different opinions on the leaders. At the county level, if you want to be promoted to the municipal level, in addition to having political achievements, you must also work hard. At the municipal level, there are differences. Once most officials are promoted to the municipal level, they will have the awareness of benefiting the officials for one term.

Because from the municipal level to the provincial and municipal level, 80% of officials will not be able to overcome this hurdle. Since they cannot overcome it, they will have to leave a reputation. Once they are promoted to the provincial level, they will have the ambition to look at the world. At this time, he will hope that his subordinates are not all flattering people. He needs a group of practical people, innovative spirit and pragmatic ability under his command... Xiao Xia, the road depends on you, but different status, different horizons, and different mentality of leaders at each level is different. Do you still think that I, an old man, is verbose?"

After decades of political experience, he has been promoted from grassroots to provincial party secretary step by step. Mr. Shi's experience is a huge wealth. He has made his own statement with his personal experience. Although he has not said it in depth, just a few words have benefited Xia Xiang a lot, allowing him to understand many principles of how to get along with the third-level leaders, making him shine and feel like he is seeing the sun!

Mr. Shi’s frankness was a kind of affirmation and encouragement to him. He was ecstatic and stood up suddenly and bowed to Mr. Shi: “Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them in my heart.”

Mr. Shi was full of spring breeze: "I was just talking to myself, what have you said? When people get old, they are prone to forgetfulness..."

Xia wanted to laugh without saying anything. Mr. Shi said this, but he was actually a little angry with him. It was because his words just now were a bit too much, but he was indeed kind-hearted. If he wanted to remarry Li Dingshan, Shi Jie must restrain his temper. Otherwise, with his understanding of Li Dingshan, even if the two barely reunited, they would inevitably end in failure.

Xia Xiang also knew that Mr. Shi valued him because he is now the person Li Dingshan trusted the most, so he hesitated and said: "Mr. Shi, just like your teaching just now, I will say something more. Just pretend you didn't hear it, but I still want to say that Secretary Li has lived a very tired and hard life alone over the years. He is very strong and does not want to be influenced by others. He also has the common psychology of most men, hoping to have a good wife..."

Xia Xiang stopped until he knew that Mr. Shi must know his own daughter's character.

Mr. Shi nodded slowly: "You tell Ding Shan that I treat him like a biological son and treat him and Shi Jie equally. Also, until the right time, I will not annoy Shi Jie anymore, let him work with peace of mind, and seek some benefits for the local people within his ability... Let him not be afraid of Shen Fuming. If Shen Fuming is not too much, everything is easy to say. If he relies on Gao Chengsong's support, he will fight, and let him come..."

Seeing that Mr. Shi narrowed his eyes, he seemed to be sleepy while talking. When he got old, he felt more and more likely to get sleepy. Xia Xiang thought he was an ordinary old man, bowed to him, and quietly pushed the door out. As soon as he left the door, Mr. Shi opened his eyes again and smiled proudly, as if he had deceived someone else.

When a young child is old, he may become like a child and has a changeable personality.

Shortly after Xia Xiang left, Shi Jie came back from outside and complained as soon as she entered the door: "Dad, why bother to say so much to a young follower and let him pass the message? What's there to talk to him?"

Mr. Shi's face turned cold: "Stop talking! After so many years, you don't know how to restrain your temper. Do you know that your divorce from Ding Shan is because of your self-righteous personality. Xia Xiang is now Ding Shan's secretary, but you didn't see how much Ding Shan valued him and trusted him? Don't talk about you now, I'm afraid that my words are not as good as his words, and they are effective in front of Ding Shan!"

"How could it be? Dad, you're too proud of Xia, right?"

"If you have vision and sensible, you would not have divorced Ding Shan, and you would not have been at the level of the department today! I will only say one thing, when do you think you are not the daughter of the provincial party secretary? You no longer require everyone to greet you with a smile, and you can calmly accept the fact that you are just an ordinary person. If you come to me again, we will mention the reunion with Ding Shan!" Mr. Shi waved his hand and refused to let Shi Jie argue again, "I went to the yard to plant flowers..."

After leaving the Provincial Party Committee No. 1 Courtyard, Xia Xiang felt much more comfortable. Although the scenery in No. 1 Courtyard was pleasant, it always gave people a depressing and gloomy feeling. Perhaps the people inside were immersed in the power circle for too long and could not let go of their personalities. In addition, the people inside were either family members or retired senior officials, and they were difficult to let go of the scenery of the past, and the more they were nostalgic, the duller they were.

Xia Xiang laughed and threw the Provincial Party Committee No. 1 Courtyard behind. Seeing that it was still early, hesitated whether to meet Xiao Jia. He called Li Dingshan first and told him about the meeting with Shi Jie and Mr. Shi. Li Dingshan just said lightly after hearing this, "I understand." He didn't say anything more about this, but just told him to walk around Yan City more and go back to his hometown if he had time. Now everything is calm in Ba County, so he doesn't have to rush back.

Li Dingshan's words reminded Xia Xiang that Yan City is not far from the single city of his hometown, and it is more than 200 kilometers away. It would be great if you have a car. The entire expressway is only about two hours.

Xiao Jia's phone rang as soon as she answered. Xia Xiang was about to ask her if she missed him, but Xiao Jia exclaimed: "Xia Xiang, I was about to call you to report the good news. My Xiao Xia Vegetable Wholesale Company was officially established with a registered capital of 1 million yuan. It started a business as soon as it was established. Guess how much did you make?"

Xiao Jia's voice was a little distorted. Xia Xiang couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so he had to follow her words: "30,000 or 50,000? The profit of wholesale vegetables is not high, and it mainly depends on volume."

"100,000!" Xiao Jia's voice increased eighth, making his ears buzz, "I took a lot of effort to negotiate, but I didn't expect that I could make 100,000 yuan in the first business. It's great. I will open up the market in the future and have no worries about being undeveloped. Unfortunately, you are not by my side, otherwise we can celebrate it well."

"Who said I'm not by your side?" Xia Xiang felt that Xiao Jia must be as enthusiastic as he is now. He is a normal man. For the only woman who has ever had a relationship at the moment, saying that she doesn't want to be a lie, "I'm in Yan City, where are you, I'll go find you!"

"Ah... don't lie, are you really in Yan City?" Xiao Jia's voice faintly had a hint of surprise and expectation, which made Xia Xiang find some balance. He even felt that Xiao Jia didn't care about him just now. Although she gave him the first time, she never seemed to treat him as her man. Whether it was meeting or calling him, she was always her business. However, the next sentence made Xia Xiang laugh and cry, "I'm on a business trip in Lu City, Qi Province, and I can't go back for a while. What should I do?"

Lu City, Qi Province is a famous vegetable wholesale base.

Xia Xiang was unhappy: "Xiao Jia, can you talk to me about something else, as if I was just your business partner. Do you just treat me as your adviser and backstage?"

Xiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his voice softened, like a layer of ripples spreading in Xia Xiang's heart: "Not it anymore, I know your thoughts. Actually, I miss you too, that's it, I don't dare to tell you, for fear that you will have other bad thoughts and think about other bad things..."

Xiao Jia talks about business with a strong woman. Once she becomes gentle, she is tender and her voice seems to melt people. Xia Xiang feels a little dry and dry: "What bad thing do I think of me? Besides, that's not a bad thing. Did you regret the last time?"
