Chapter 1486: A contest staged in advance (please give me a monthly vote!)

After the appointment meeting, it was a welcome banquet as usual, and it was a customary thing. It was impossible to escape, so I had to have a social engagement.

Fortunately, all the Standing Committee members of Qi Province maintained a good style of unity and unity. At Xia Xiang's welcome banquet, they all came. Except for Li Dingshan left halfway, the rest of the people were all with him at the end of the song.

This also shows that at least on the surface, everyone still respects Xia Xiang, the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee.

Li Dingshan's early departure was not paid attention to Li Dingshan. Although Li Dingshan was airborne from the capital city and changed to normal, Beijing officials took office in the local area were all topics to everyone, but because the cadres in Qi Province have adjusted too frequently recently, and the light of Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji was too strong, Li Dingshan was quickly ignored.

Yes, he is neither young nor in an important position. Li Dingshan is really not conspicuous in Qi Province, but it is better not conspicuous. At least, except for a limited number of parties involved, few people know about what Li Dingshan is doing.

It was precisely because of this that the incident was revealed that it immediately caused an uproar.

Among the newly promoted provincial party committee members of Qi Province, the most dazzling two are naturally Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji.

Xia Xiang is dazzling because he is the youngest deputy to the provincial party committee, and Zhou Hongji is dazzling because he has never had local political experience before. As soon as he left the capital, he was known to everyone and directly held an important position in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was only 41 years old and obviously had a broad future.

Of course, in terms of age alone, Zhou Hongji is younger than Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang's identity as the seventh generation of ***, has not yet been shown. Many people also know that Xia Xiang is a reserve force that is vigorously cultivated by a faction, so it is not surprising to Xia Xiang. Zhou Hongji was unknown before, and suddenly he descended from the capital to Qisheng with an unstoppable momentum. From the appointment of fame and the careful arrangement of his position, he can draw a conclusion that Zhou Hongji is also a reserve force that another faction focuses on cultivating.

In this way, Zhou Hongji's origin and identity have attracted many speculations and attention, and have also made Zhou Hongji one of the dazzling figures in Qi Sheng's current second only to Xia Xiang.

But no matter how dazzling it is, it must be covered up by Xia Xiang's light. In terms of age, Zhou Hongji is 6 years older than Xia Xiang, which is equivalent to two terms. In terms of qualifications, Xia Xiang has served as the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now he is the deputy provincial party committee, with rich local political experience. Zhou Hongji first left the capital and had never had the experience of local political practice. What should he compare with Xia Xiang?

However, some people don’t think so, but they think that Zhou Hongji is dormant in the capital, sharpening his knife will not delay chopping wood, and there is no need to learn from Xia Xiang to stay in the position of the deputy department in the local area. He can only be appointed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and go straight to Qingyun.

Some of them look good. Xia Xiang is a reserve force that is vigorously cultivated, and Zhou Hongji is the key target of another faction. He met by chance or necessary in Qisheng. Which side wants the two to decide a victory or defeat?

Isn't it because of excessive force, Isn't it that all the previous efforts have been wasted? Cultivating a talent is not easy, and everyone will love it. So which side takes the initiative to provoke and insists on arranging two strong men to meet?

You should know that the deputy *** of the provincial party committee and the *** of the discipline inspection committee are both party affairs. If you usually look up but not look down, conflicts will inevitably occur. Of course, it is not ruled out that a scene of harmony and happiness will occur. As long as you keep the bottom line, no one can cross the thunder pool.

But then again, if there is a major conflict, Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji are both the first few people in power. Once they touch the fundamental interests because of their respective positions, they will be a dead end. What should we do then?

In addition to Qiu Renli and Sun Ximin, everyone here thought of this. If Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji had a super collision in Qi Province, whoever is familiar with him will win for the time being, no matter what the land of Qi Province and the gathering of forces, what kind of scene will it be like when the dragon and tiger leaps?

During a reception banquet, many people toasted Xia Xiang like a lantern, but everyone had different thoughts. The smiles on their faces were the same, but the worries and speculations in their hearts were different. Who knew what real thoughts were hidden under each smiling face?

Xia Xiang didn't drink much, but today several members of the Standing Committee were overly enthusiastic and insisted on advising him to drink a few drinks, so he had to reluctantly drink a few drinks. He also saw Li Dingshan's exit in the middle, and felt helpless in his heart, because he could almost certainly guess that Li Dingshan went to find out what was going on again.

Governor Li... was still a little too anxious. What background and origin are there under every smiling face shaking in front of him? Who has a close relationship with whom, and who has the energy to reach the capital? It is a suicide act without knowing nothing.

Just like the two armies fighting, they waved their troops without knowing the opponent's strength and the commander-in-chief, and they would send troops with a big hand, reckless and reckless, and only by knowing themselves and their opponents would be sure to win. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and the consequence of being a brave man is to be bloody. Not only will he not be able to accomplish anything, but he will even lose his future and... life.

While Xia Xiang was socializing with everyone, he secretly worried about Li Dingshan.

After drinking with almost everyone, Zhou Hongji, who had been joking with Qiu Renli and Sun Ximin for a long time, picked up the wine glass and came to Xia Xiang leisurely.

"Xia***, although it was our first meeting, I have long known your name and have always regarded you as my idol. Haha, come on, I'll give you three cups."

When the idol says that it has developed to the point of praise and criticism, Xia Xiang will naturally not be bored to guess whether Zhou Hongji's words are mocking or boring. The words in the bar are just to be drunk and not to take them seriously.

"My alcohol tolerance is not good, I am the same as others. Zhou***, you can't be special, you can only have one." Xia Xiang's expression was gentle and his words were very tactful, but he was in a tone of no negotiation.

Zhou Hongji refused to give in, and seemed to be more serious: "Others are others, I am me, I can't compare them. Xia***, you just said that you wanted me to do the friendship of the landlord, but now you don't admit it in a blink of an eye, and you can't say it..."

Xia thought it through. Zhou Hongji came to talk about it by drinking. Unexpectedly, the first round between him and Zhou Hongji was much earlier than expected, and he was placed in front of him directly.

A drink is small and face is big. Whoever takes the initiative to gain the upper hand is related to who can better seize the highest starting point in the future work. Although there are no brothers on the table and no official position in the restaurant, wine tastes show character and rules show the level of quality.

Of course, Xia Xiang would not take a step back: "Since Zhou *** is so enthusiastic, it seems too disrespectful if I don't drink it. However, I have to talk about ugly things. If you drink a thousand cups of wine, you have to accompany me for three cups."

"good."

The fight between Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji immediately attracted everyone's attention. Qiu Renli's eyes moved and stood up. Qiu Renli was together, and everyone stood up.

"I'll be a witness..." Qiu Renli held the wine glass with his hands and laughed, "After Xia *** and Zhou *** finished the wine, today's program will end here."

Previously, Xie Xincai, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, had already returned to rest. At this time, everyone present was a group of people from the Hunan Provincial Party Committee.

As soon as Qiu Renli finished speaking, Sun Ximin continued: "Just Xia Xiang and Hongji are the youngest, young people should have the enthusiasm and vitality of young people, which is reflected in the work and the wine in the wine field. Xia Xiang, I know Hongji's alcohol tolerance, but if he pours three cups, he sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman. You must also show some sincerity and cannot retreat."

When he was in Yan Province, Xia Xiang was known for not being able to drink. Although Sun Ximin did not drink with Xia Xiang at the time, he should have a little idea about the rumors that Xia Xiang is average in drinking. So today he was interested in talking about drinking, which obviously had ulterior motives.

If Xia Xiang was drunk at the wedding banquet at the beginning of his tenure, it would not be a good thing. It would not be nice to say it, and it would not ruin the image and would also become a joke...

Xia Xiang felt a little moved. He remembered the phone call with Sun Ximin when he was in the capital. He thought that Governor Sun had a good memory. As expected, he found an opportunity to invite him to have a pot of tea, but it was not just a pot of tea, but a pot of wine.

Qiu Renli said slowly: "No matter how young he is, he is the leader of the provincial party committee. He is not good at drinking... isn't it?"

Sun Ximin responded slowly: "Just get lively, wine can help you liven up. It is rare for Qi Province to have two young members of the Standing Committee. The arrival of Xia Xiang and Hongji has brought new atmosphere. Today, it is even more rare for comrades to relax once and stop drunk."

A good welcoming banquet, under the suggestion of Zhou Hongji's three glasses of wine, turned into a secret competition...

Qiu Renli curled his smile and said, "It's okay to be casual."

Sun Ximin immediately said: "You must be casual and enjoy the fun. There is no size on the table, only the amount of alcohol and wine..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the face of Xia Li, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, changed!

The authority of the top leader cannot be violated. Whether it is a formal or private occasion, the size of the wine table is not big or small. That is the common people's words, and it is not applicable to the officialdom. At any time, the top leader is the top leader, and the boss is the priority system, which applies to the provincial party committee meeting, and also to the wine table.

Governor Sun's move was to deliberately challenge Qiu ***'s authority by drinking and talking about alcohol?

For a moment, everyone's eyes were all on Qiu Renli, and it was up to how Qiu *** responded.

Everyone saw the clues. Zhou Hongji challenged Xia Xiang, Qiu Renli came forward to defend, and Sun Ximin fought back again. The two-to-two pattern was laid in the future on the day when Xia Xiang first entered Qi Province. It has to be said that it really happened to everyone.

Everyone thinks that at least there must be a buffer period.

Qiu Renli's face remained unchanged, and he was not surprised when he changed. He had been through storms for a long time and was more mature and persistent than Sun Ximin. He did not look at Sun Ximin more often, but said to Xia Xiang: "Xia Xiang, today is your welcome banquet, you are the protagonist, today... no one can decide, it's up to you!"
