Chapter 1497 None of them are fuel-efficient lights

Zhou Hongji, He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang sat in the private room in the Ginza Hotel. He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang were very polite to Zhou Hongji and praised him for sitting in the upper head.

Zhou Hongji's ranking was originally higher than He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang, and it was just right to sit in the first place. He did not refuse, but accepted it calmly.

Zhou Hongji's behavior was not too arrogant. Perhaps it was because of his deep-rooted sense of superiority that made him inadvertently show his superior aura. After he sat down, He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang looked at each other, and a slight dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes.

However, because of the tacit cooperation between the two, the process of looking at each other flashed by, and Zhou Hongji did not notice anything unusual.

The dinner began in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

In fact, as early as when Li Dingshan first came to Qi Province, He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang wanted to get close to Zhou Hongji, but it was not urgent. Xia Xiang's arrival and Xia Xiang's action of stopping the Standing Committee made He Jianghai feel a real sense of crisis.

Because Li Dingshan not only ranks low, his power is not as great as Xia Xiang, but his relationship with Qiu Renli is also average. Xia Xiang is different. He is the third most important figure in the entire provincial party committee and government. The key is that he has a close relationship with Qiu Renli.

Not only is he close, but he also has a very tacit cooperation. The scene at the Standing Committee is still in the heart of He Jianghai until now, making him feel uncomfortable.

He could suppress Li Dingshan, but he could not suppress Xia Xiang. Besides, no one knew what Xia Xiang did in Hunan Province. He was clever and had a tough way to deal with it. If Xia Xiang joined forces with Qiu Renli, Qi Sheng's always balanced pattern might be broken.

Therefore, joining forces with Zhou Hongji became the imminent next step.

It was not that He Jianghai had thought of joining forces with Sun Ximin, but after testing it once, Sun Ximin's reaction was extremely cold. Although it was not a sign of keeping people from thousands of miles away, it was also a sign of no interest, which made him feel unsure and unable to understand Sun Ximin's thoughts.

When he turned to win over Zhou Hongji, Zhou Hongji's performance was very enthusiastic and easy-going, which made him feel relieved.

He Jianghai knew very well that Zhou Hongji was a reserve force of an important faction in the central government. As Zhou Hongji's first stop for leaving Beijing, his political achievements in Qi Province determine whether Zhou Hongji's takeoff posture is powerful. Therefore, Zhou Hongji also had the intention to show his skills in Qi Province.

If it weren't for Li Dingshan's accidents, He Jianghai would not have taken Zhou Hongji seriously because Qiu Renli could not do anything to him in Qi Province, let alone Zhou Hongji, a Discipline Inspection Commissioner who had just left the capital?

It was precisely because Li Dingshan intervened in the Chen Qiudong incident that Xia Xiang's performance at the Standing Committee was too eye-catching and aggressive. He Jianghai knew that Xia Xiang would be the most powerful opponent he had ever met in his life.

As the most critical term for Xia Xiang to move towards the main line, Qi Sheng must also take every step of Qi Sheng. But when Xia Xiang first came to Qi Sheng, he was not gentle and low-key, but showed a domineering momentum when he participated in the Standing Committee for the first time. According to He Jianghai's understanding of Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang was not impulsive or pretending to be a pretentious person, but to protect Li Dingshan.

Li Dingshan was Xia Xiang's weakness... He Jianghai immediately realized this.

Today, we invited Zhou Hongji to a meal to lay the tone of cooperation with Zhou Hongji. Although he and Zhou Hongji had been sitting there and had tacit cooperation, out of caution, He Jianghai believed that it was necessary to bring Yuan Xuqiang up again to make Zhou Hongji realize the strength of his local power, and at the same time, it was spread to Sun Ximin through Zhou Hongji's mouth so that Governor Sun could make his statement as soon as possible.

After Governor Sun came to Qi Province, he became too low-key and never showed his courage. Even if Governor Sun had a disgraceful past of resigning, there was no need to retreat too much.

Another more important point is that He Jianghai realized a bigger crisis, because Xia Xiang seemed to be planning something secretly and making an orderly arrangement. He was always very wary of Xia Xiang, because Ye Tiannan's defeat in Hunan Province was largely Xia Xiang's work.

He Jianghai has a self-knowledge. He has the advantage of good time and place, but lacks the advantage of harmony between people. Compared with Xia Xiang's endless means, he believes that he is not Xia Xiang's opponent.

If Xia Xiang follows Li Dingshan's clues and investigates him, he will inevitably be involved. At that time, he will definitely be the enemy of Xia Xiang. Whether Xia Xiang is stepping on his body to take over, or plan in time to give Xia Xiang a head-on blow, he will definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

Even if Xia Xiang is a reserve force that a major central faction is focusing on cultivating, he will not take a step back in the face of life-and-death choices.

"Zhou***, it's not the first time we've sat together, it's the first time with Lao Yuan. I won't say much about Lao Yuan's character. He has a good reputation in Lu City. It can be said that Lu City is harmonious under Lao Yuan's governance." He Jianghai vigorously praised Yuan Xuqiang, in order to demonstrate the unity and strength of the Peninsula Gang.

Zhou Hongji naturally heard something in He Jianghai's dialect, which was to suggest that Lu City was Yuan Xuqiang's world. He just smiled faintly: "I will ask Yuan *** to cooperate more in my work in the future."

He is kind, but his attitude is actually very cold.

Yuan Xu forced a smile and gave Zhou Hongji a cup. After Zhou Hongji clinked the cups, he only drank half of them.

He Jianghai was unhappy. Zhou Hongji was too arrogant. It wasn’t Yuan Xuqiang who stepped down immediately. He wouldn’t treat people like this. His eyes were too shallow and too realistic.

He Jianghai guessed correctly. Zhou Hongji is indeed more realistic, but the reason why Zhou Hongji despises Yuan Xuqiang is not just because Yuan Xuqiang is not coming many times, but mainly because He Jianghai's hint is not very happy. People in the officialdom have always left the tea and retreated. Why do you mention that Lu City is the world of Yuan Xuqiang? Did you bully him for the first time and have not heard of the strong dissatisfaction of the people of Shandong City with Yuan Xuqiang?

Another point is that Zhou Hongji came to Qi Province to gilt and gain political achievements, and he did not deliberately fight against Xia Xiang. Now Li Dingshan's intervention has touched He Jianghai's interests. He just needs to support He Jianghai verbally. There is no need to stand with He Jianghai to fight back against Xia Xiang. After all, Xia Xiang has not touched his bottom line.

He Jianghai can only be his gun, how can he be He Jianghai's shield?

Yuan Xuqiang observed his face and guessed that Zhou Hongji had been in the capital's ministries and commissions. He had always been used to being at the flow and being arrogant. He could not adapt to the situation when he first came to the local area, and he could not recognize the complexity of the local area. He thought that like the ministries and commissions, the world was big, and it was nothing but a large courtyard.

The Provincial Party Committee of Qi Province is just a courtyard, but Qi Province has seventeen cities and cities, each city has one or two leaders, and their position also affects the voice of each Standing Committee member in the Provincial Party Committee.

The ministries and commissions cannot manage the personnel appointments of each province. Only when it involves personnel power is the essence of the most complex and core political struggle.

"Zhou*** is young and promising, so how can I cooperate with my work? Once you come to Qisheng, you can open up the situation. Moreover, Qisheng is just a springboard. Zhou*** will definitely make a fortune in the future." Yuan Xuqiang gave a free low-quality flattery, which was not only direct, but also very straightforward.

Zhou Hongji waved his hand: "None of them are outsiders, don't say anything if they are useless." He glanced at He Jianghai again, "Jiang Hai, Governor Sun's attitude is very clear. If Chen Qiudong really has something to do, he must take it down, and there is no need to discuss it."

"Chen Qiudong's problem is a trivial matter, and it doesn't take Governor Sun to worry." He Jianghai toasted Zhou Hongji, "The main reason is that Xia *** is too strong. I am afraid that the work in the future will not be easy to carry out. I directly called the Standing Committee. This is the first time I have seen it."

Zhou Hongji was unmoved, but instead smiled: "Xia *** is reasonable and well-founded, not called being strong, it is to exercise his due power."

OK, Zhou Hongji really has a trick, and he couldn't pour water in. He Jianghai said with the flow: "Zhou*** probably doesn't know Xia Xiang's character and Li Dingshan's temper. Xia Xiang has a front and a backhand in doing things, and Li Dingshan's temper is smelly and hard."

"As long as it is all for work, we should look at other people's strengths, seek common ground while reserving differences, and make progress together." Zhou Hongji continued to practice Tai Chi, "Come on, I respect He*** and Yuan*** for a cup, thank you for your kindness."

Zhou Hongji proposed to raise a glass together, obviously to end the conversation, so He Jianghai stood up with Yuan Xuqiang, clinked glasses with Zhou Hongji, and toasted to drink with each other.

After seeing off Zhou Hongji, He Jianghai and Yuan Xuqiang returned to the room. Yuan Xuqiang looked unhappy: "Zhou Hongji is so arrogant!"

"Haha, Old Yuan doesn't have to be angry. Zhou Hongji is not arrogant, but has a big face." He Jianghai is confident. "We want to win over him, and he wants to win over us. It is related to whoever takes the initiative and whoever is passive. In other words, whoever is the master is the assistant. You haven't seen Sun Ximin never show up, you just want to take a hand."

"Others from other places still want to take the initiative when they come to Qi Province? Qiu Renli was not successful either. Why is Sun Ximin and Zhou Hongji?" Yuan Xuqiang was indignant and was neglected just now. He had a lot of opinions about Zhou Hongji.

"Before Li Dingshan intervened in the Salt Affairs Bureau, before Xia Xiang came to Qi Province, Sun Ximin and Zhou Hongji wanted to suppress us, but they really had no support. But now it's different. Li Dingshan joined forces with Xia Xiang to deal with us, so we must rely on the power of Sun Ximin and Zhou Hongji... Why do you think they are right?" He Jianghai sneered a few times and shook his head repeatedly.

Yuan Xuqiang also shook his head: "Then you can't let Zhou Hongji lead the nose."

"Who said he was holding his nose?" He Jianghai picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. "I have a way, not only can I pull Zhou Hongji into the water, but I can also make Zhou Hongji finally use it for me, and become a good gun for us to deal with Xia Xiang..."

Yuan Xuqiang said disbelief: "Jiang Hai, don't be too confident. Zhou Hongji and Sun Ximin are not easy-to-efficient."

"Let's see." He Jianghai took another sip of wine, narrowed his eyes, as if he was savoring the fragrance of the wine, and seemed to be calculating something.

...Zhou Hongji returned to the provincial party committee and met Sun Ximin first, said a few words, and briefly reported on the situation.
