Chapter 1498: Still in the temptation stage

When Zhou Hongji was about to meet Ye Tiannan, Xia Xiang and Xia Li and Zhou Yuyuan also achieved the expected results.

Zhou Yuyuan is 47 years old, tall and speaks very well. He is a typical example of a great man in Qi Province. However, people with strong and generous speaking may not have a straightforward personality. As soon as they see Zhou Yuyuan, Xia Xiang concluded that compared with Xia Li, Zhou Yuyuan's personality is much more conservative.

There is nothing to see on the surface of the heat and noise. Anyway, since the etiquette has come, Zhou Yuyuan's performance is quite normal. After the opening, Zhou Yuyuan said very little. Except for Xia Li who should make a few calls when he called, he mostly acted as a guest.

It is seriously inconsistent with what Xia Li said that Zhou Yuyuan wanted to know him eagerly.

Wuyue City is not an economically strong city, and its ranking is very low in Qi Province. The main economic growth point is to rely on salt manufacturing. Wuyue City's status in Qi Province is similar to that in Yan Province, the status of Zhangcheng City in Yan Province, so Zhou Yuyuan is the top leader of the prefecture and city that is not highly valued by the provincial party committee.

Xia Xiang would not guess what Zhou Yuyuan knew about him based on his thoughts, and why he was not enthusiastic at the dinner table. Now he needed someone to take the initiative to get closer, but he would not refuse anyone, nor would he act very eagerly to win over every subordinate who was willing to get closer.

Removing the drought and reserving the essence is a consideration on one hand, and on the other hand, he is the deputy, and he must adhere to his duties as a deputy. Because he is in charge of personnel work, it is impossible to shine too much and be eye-catching everywhere. Otherwise, even if Qiu Renli would not have any opinions about him, Sun Ximin would seize it.

It is even more impossible to rule out that someone took this action to sue the central government and took the opportunity to vigorously discredit his image.

To ensure that he gradually and steadily opens up the situation in Qi Province, gains a firm foothold, and has a certain strength, and to achieve a stable population and a handle, he needs higher political wisdom.

Zhou Yuyuan's performance is very low-key, so is Wu Tianxiao.

Unlike talking in front of Xia Xiang, Wu Tianxiao, who was in front of others, completely entered the role of secretary, poured water, toasted, and adjusted the atmosphere appropriately and timely, adding icing on the cake when it should be said. When it should not be said, he did not say a word, and his overall performance was remarkable, which made Xia Xiang very satisfied.

It also made Xia Xiang realize that Wu Tianxiao is indeed a talent. If he can fully grasp it in his hands and use it for him, it will be a sharp sword. Of course, there is another important premise that the sword should not scratch his hand.

After a dinner party ended in a casual and unrestrained manner, Xia Xiang returned to work in the provincial party committee, so Zhou Yuyuan went straight back to Wuyue City from the hotel. Before leaving, he asked the driver to carry a few boxes of things from the car and insisted on putting them on Xia Xiang's car.

Xia Xiang refused a few words, but without force, he accepted them. They were just some local specialties, not valuable things, and it would seem too inhumane if they didn't accept them.

As soon as Zhou Yuyuan left, Xia Li sat in the car and explained a few more words to Zhou Yuyuan.

"Yu Yuan is good at everything, but he doesn't talk much, so he seems not good at doing things. I also feel sorry for him and missed several good opportunities."

"I hope Xia*** doesn't mind. Yu Yuan is a honest person. As long as he determines something, he will do it to the end."

"Yu Yuan is my classmate."

Xia Li kept saying that Xia Xiang kept listening, but he kept nodding with a smile, not answering, nor disagreeing. When Xia Li finally said the key sentence that Zhou Yuyuan was his classmate, Xia Xiang laughed: "I believe in your eyes, Xia Li, turn around and say to Yu Yuan, let him get some coarse salt, I can't eat the fine salt."

Xia Li was stunned. Xia*** had something to say. The dignified deputy of the provincial party committee would not worry about the issue of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The so-called coarse salt and refined salt are probably other reasons.

When Xia Li returned to the office, hesitated for a moment and called Zhou Yuyuan.

"Yu Yuan, Xia *** said that you would bring some coarse salt next time, will it be convenient for you?"

Zhou Yuyuan was silent for a while: "Convenience is convenience, but I don't know if it is safe?"

"You are not smuggling salt, so what's insecure?" Xia Li smiled, paused for a moment, and said, "In this way, don't worry, let's talk about it in half a month."

"Okay." Before Zhou Yuyuan rang the phone, he couldn't help asking more, "Can Xia *** be reliable?"

...

"Can Zhou Yuyuan's character be reliable?" Xia Xiang asked with a smile after taking the hot tea handed over by Wu Tianxiao.

Wu Tianxiao naturally knew that Xia *** had this question, but Xia *** was not asking for his opinion without knowing it, but intentionally taking the exam, lowered his head and thought about it, and he said to the truth: "It doesn't matter whether it is reliable or not. What's important is what he has."

Xia Xiang laughed and said, "You are also a slippery person."

Wu Tian smiled and said, "Where, I dare not talk nonsense in front of the leader. I am not a person who speaks without restraint. I will say a few more words if I am sure, but I will not say a single word if I am not sure."

Xia Xiang waved his hand, but said nothing more. Wu Tian smiled and tactfully retreated.

Regardless of whether Xia Li is scheming or whether Zhou Yuyuan's approach is other purpose, Xia Xiang knew very clearly that the next problem would be more focused on the appointment of the deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Although he is the deputy provincial party committee and has great power in personnel affairs, he is not as powerful as the Discipline Inspection Commission, which has the power to directly investigate whether party members and cadres violate the law and discipline. Moreover, he does not have the power of the *** system, so he is still very weak in Qi Province at present.

Thinking about it, it was true. After all, it was Li Dingshan not long ago, and it was only half a month later. But I didn’t expect that in half a month, Li Dingshan caused great trouble.

It is indeed not objective to say that Li Dingshan caused trouble. It should be said that Li Dingshan discovered the dark side. However, before his strength grew, Xia Xiang did not have the power to leverage the interest groups behind the dark side. What he needs most now is time...

Last time in the conversation, he also implicitly told Li Dingshan that things would be investigated and there would be explanations, but he needed time to open up the situation. Li Dingshan didn't say anything at that time, obviously his default attitude.

I hope Li Dingshan can calm down and wait for another two or three months to see the first glimmer of hope.

Qiu Renli's advice was still echoing in Xia Xiang's ears, which also made him realize that the other party was not only strong in Qisheng, but also had a tough backstage in the capital.

In fact, without the need for Qiu Renli to remind him, Xia Xiang also knows who is behind the scenes of the entire salt industry...

At around 4 pm, Liao Deyi came to report on his work with a humble smile.

As expected, it was nominated by the deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Liao Deyi seemed to be unaffected by the scene at the Standing Committee, and was not at all visible. He took Wu Tianxiao's water and took a sip: "Tianxiao is really raining in time, I am thirsty."

Wu Tian smiled and said, "It is my honor to invite Minister Liao to have a sip of water."

"Isn't you there?" Liao Deyi handed the water cup back to Wu Tian and smiled, "I'll treat you to a drink next time."

Wu Tianxiao smiled respectfully: "I dare not ask Minister Liao to invite him. If I can ask Minister Liao, I will burn the incense."

Liao Deyi laughed, and Wu Tianxiao turned around and left when he saw that he had nothing to do with him. As soon as he went out, his face darkened, thinking that the identity of Secretary No. 3 was indeed unusual. In the past, Liao Deyi smiled at him, but he was just smiling but not. Although the smile just now was also a fake smile, he had some more smiles.

I believe Xia *** can also see through the two sides and three swords behind Liao Deyi's smile.

"I have read the materials carefully." Xia Xiang emphasized, and immediately regained his respectful look when he saw Liao Deyi recovering, thinking that Liao Deyi was really a true smile. "Facts have proved that the work of the Organization Department is very meticulous and in place. Comrades Chen Qiudong and Lu Chengliang passed the abilities."

Liao Deyi heard the hint and said carefully: "Governor Li accused Comrade Chen Qiudong of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused

Xia Xiang's original intention was to point it out, so that Liao Deyi would give up the challenge and voluntarily give up Chen Qiudong's nomination. Unexpectedly, the other party did not give in. He really thought that Li Dingshan was just talking casually and had no evidence in hand? Did Li Dingshan have already controlled the conclusive evidence? Xia Xiang wouldn't care about it for now, even if he was confident enough to beat Chen Qiudong to death with one stick.

The reason why I left room for nothing is that I didn’t want to cause big conflicts as soon as I came up. I also have to look at the owner to beat the dog. Only by taking a step back will I be harmonious.

"The Discipline Inspection Commission also stated that Comrade Chen Qiudong did not find any problem." Liao Deyi seemed to be afraid that Xia would like to stop him again, and then threw out the conclusion of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Xia Xiang finally smiled, smiling sincerely: "Since there is no problem, I have no problem either." Since the other party was not aware of it at all, there was no need for him to say it all, so he could see the truth under his hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a pen to sign the materials and returned them to Liao Deyi.

Liao Deyi took the material and was stunned after just a glance. Of course, what made him stunned was not because Xia Xiang's calligraphy reached the level of a modern first-class calligrapher, but because Xia Xiang's instructions were so innovative.

"Comrade Liao Deyi confirmed that Comrade Chen Qiudong has no lifestyle problem and plans to agree to his nomination."

"Xia***, this..." Liao Deyi smiled bitterly, and he really didn't know what to say. Xia ***'s instructions were a completely trap, meaning that if something went wrong, you will be responsible.

"You can hold a standing committee to vote again, but I suggest that it is better to have a *** office meeting before going to the Standing Committee." Xia Xiang lost interest in continuing to discuss the matter with Liao Deyi. "When it is held, the Organization Department will recommend it to Qiu ***."

Liao Deyi wanted to say something, opened his mouth, made no sound, and nodded and went out. He touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard in front of Xia Xiang, and for the first time he tasted Xia Xiang's unexpected method.

It was a bit spicy, a little bitter, and a little bit annoying. Liao Deyi thought about it and made a fuss. He didn't believe that Xia *** really had evidence of Chen Qiudong. OK, if he wanted face, he would give him enough face. He would last another *** office meeting.

As soon as Liao Deyi left, Xia Xiang's phone rang. It was an anonymous phone, and the voice was very low: "Xia***, let me tell you a message. Ye Tiannan has come to Lu City and has also met Zhou Hongji."
