Chapter 189 Four newcomers in officialdom
Chapter 189 The Four Newcomers in Officialdom
The legendary Cheng Dacai has a tall figure, a straight nose and square mouth. The characteristics of northerners are very obvious, and he gives people a very honest and trustworthy feeling at first glance. His most prominent feature is that his eyebrows are thick and long, and the middle is connected, which is the most authentic one-line eyebrows. When Xia Xiang went in, he was wearing an apron around his waist, eating half a cucumber in his mouth, and his hands were covered with vegetable leaves, stirring the eggs in the bowl vigorously.
Seeing Xia wanted to come in, he didn't say hello and said directly: "The egg beater is actually not good, it may be related to my unfamiliar technique. The eggs are always unevenly beaten. If they are not evenly beaten, the fried eggs will not be tender and the taste will be poor... What are you good ways to do that?"
"No, I don't know how to cook." Xia Xiang shook his head, thought for a while and said, "In fact, there is a stupid way. Poor families used to be unable to afford eggs and were reluctant to eat more. When they beat eggs, they would add some water and stir-fry them. Once the eggs were mixed with water, they would be smooth and tender when stir-frying."
"Really or false?" When Cheng Da spoke, his eyebrows were raised, which seemed to be both excited and questioning.
Xia Xiang didn't comment: "I heard that too. I have to try it or not."
Cheng Da added a little water into it without hesitation, then heated the oil, poured the eggs into the pan and fryed. After a while, a plate of golden scrambled eggs were stir-fried. He tasted it and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, it's really good, the taste is much smoother... I don't understand. Since this simple reason, why don't most people put water when scrambling eggs?"
Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Cheng Zong is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Now he no longer likes smooth foods. It is the third stage, so he doesn't feel anything when eating watered eggs. For families who just can afford eggs, they eat too much watered eggs and think that eggs that are not watered are fragrant and delicious. Compared with pure and fragrant eggs, the smooth and tender watered eggs are the helpless way to eat eggs when they can't afford eggs."
Cheng Da smiled: "The third stage? What are the first two stages?"
"Actually, the three common sayings are: the first stage is to see mountains as mountains, water as water as water. The second stage is to see mountains as not mountains, water as water as water as water. The third stage is to see mountains as mountains as mountains, water as water as water as water. The same is to see mountains as mountains as mountains, water as water as water, but the mentality is completely different." Xia Xiang was also inspired, remembering that in order to pursue economic development in the later generations, many vicious events that pollute the environment. In order to pursue high yields, a large number of genetically modified crops that do not even eat insects. In order to pursue the admission rate of one-sidedly, they have created too many top scorers with high scores and low energy. When they wake up, they come to their senses. When he turned around and made up for it, it had caused many irreparable losses... Who would have thought that now rural people envy the city people? More than ten years later, urban people began to envy the rural people's organic life without being polluted and not eating toxic food and vegetables. He took back his mind and smiled, "Just like Europeans are used to driving cars, walking is environmentally friendly and fitness. It is like we can't afford a car and we have to walk on fitness. Although it is also walking, our mentality is completely different. We admire mountains and rivers, and the scenery we see is the same, but the mood is different."
Cheng Dacai took off his apron and put the scrambled eggs aside, laughing: "What you mean is that I scrambled eggs when I'm idle, just like a housewife who has to cook fried eggs for my family. Although they are cooking, it is a relaxing experience for me, and a boring errand for the housewife, right?"
Xia Xiang also laughed: "It is a metaphor for being close, meaning similar. The total scrambled eggs and the housewife's scrambled eggs. The same dish has a huge difference in added value. Just like the calligraphy and paintings of famous people, if you don't sign it, you may not be named. Once you sign it, it will be worth a lot. Why is it because it has intangible value."
"Please sit!" Cheng Da finally asked Xia Xiang to sit down. He also sat down on the sofa opposite, "Xia Xiang, the name is quite interesting and the idea is good. Not only are you young and knowledgeable. According to your opinion, Baoxing Garden can be fully built into a high-rise residential building, which will be the name of the first high-rise community in Yan City?"
Xia Xiang straightened her body: "If it was built by someone else, it might not be possible. However, Dacai Group can succeed in one fell swoop, and the brand's appeal cannot be ignored."
Cheng Dacai didn't mention the question of Baoxing Garden anymore, and jumped directly to another topic: "I heard from Shen Lichun that you have a lot of insights into the current real estate situation and future development of Yan City. Let's listen..." He raised his right hand and drew a curve in the air, which was very impressive to guide the country. "If you say it well, you can be adopted, and your benefits will not be missing."
Cheng Da took it for granted that Xia must have a plan.
Xia Xiang didn't explain much, and said that in his mind, the Hongtu of Yan City in Yan City: "Dacai Group is a leading enterprise in Yan City and even Yan Province. Many times, we must have the courage to be the first in the world. In my mind, the first high-rise community, the first luxury villa, the first community without property, the first low-priced community, etc., should all be made by Dacai Group. Since Cheng Zheng is the first real estate person in Yan City, he must have many steps ahead of others. He should see what places should be written by Dacai Group on the future grand plan of Yan City..."
Xia Xiang didn't say much, nor did he go to which community or location, because he knew that at the level of Chengdacai, he only focused on issues in the general direction. He was no longer interested in the specific implementation details, nor did he have the energy to pay attention to it. Therefore, Xia Xiang just briefly talked about the overall direction. He also knew that the development direction of the Dacai Group he mentioned was in line with the ideas of Chengdacai's future, and he added some suggestive guidance.
I hope that Dacai Group can pay more attention to affordable housing and focus on low-income families. The trend of rising housing prices in the future is inevitable, and it is not a historical trend that he can stop. It can only affect Chengdacai as much as possible and let him do more things that are beneficial to ordinary people.
Cheng Dacai has never spoken, which was beyond Xia Xiang's surprise. He is a very qualified listener, with a focused expression, a peaceful expression, and listening with relish. Those who achieve great things must have extraordinary features. It is true. At least Cheng Dacai's listening attitude is very helpful.
"Eat some hot rice together at noon?" After the conversation, Cheng Da expressed no comments on what Xia Xiang said. He skipped it and tied his apron while saying it. "Do you want to try my skills? Take a cucumber, mix it with cold skin, and make a snow-capped red plum - sugar mixed with tomatoes, and one person has a glass of cold beer. How about it, it's so hearty, right?"
The founder of the dignified Dacai Group invited him to a vegetarian meal at noon, and it was all cold dishes. No one would believe it if he said it! However, Xia Xiang understood Dacai's hobby. For such a legendary figure, everything he experienced was unimaginable to many people. He decided to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in a wave. The head of a huge empire also had many unknown secrets.
It is better to obey your orders than respect. Xia Xiang stayed and accompanied Cheng Dacai to have dinner, saying some irrelevant words and making harmless jokes, but there was no word about work and real estate. Cheng Dacai even asked Xia Xiang if he had a girlfriend and what kind of girl he liked, but he didn't ask what he had to do with Chen Feng, and what purpose he wanted to see him.
Smart people don’t need to point out when speaking. Although Xia Want to know that Cheng Dacai may misunderstand him and think that he wants to get what benefits he wants, he has not explained it either. In front of Cheng Dacai, there is no need to rush to prove everything. Who is Cheng Dacai? From national leaders to rogues, who has never seen him? What has never been dealt with? For him, all people who are close to him have different purposes. It doesn’t matter if you have the ability to impress him.
After dinner, Cheng Da told Xia Xiang directly that he wanted to have a lunch break. Xia Xiang respectfully said goodbye, and Cheng Da sent him to the door and waved his hand: "Xiao Xia, when you want to have light meals in the future, you can come to me."
Xia Xiang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He thought he would return without success today. Unexpectedly, Cheng Dacai's last words gave him a glimmer of hope. He knew that Cheng Dacai's door had opened a crack in the door. Although the crack in the door was very small and was not enough to allow him to see the scenery inside the door, it at least provided a possibility to push the door in.
As soon as I arrived at work in the afternoon, Gao Hai called him into the office.
"Yong Vision Group appointed you as their contact person in the municipal government, and Mayor Chen nodded. I don't know what the origin of the Long Vision Group is, but it seems that the other party is determined and wants to gain a foothold in Yan City... Xiaoxia, this is a great opportunity. As long as the Long Vision Group develops smoothly in Yan City, you can write a strong mark on your resume as their designated contact person. I am looking forward to you to move forward in a year."
Gao Hai's words come from sincerity. In the officialdom, Xia Xiang is very upward. Not to mention that he has the appreciation of Mayor Chen and the support of Mayor Cao, he is a place where he can achieve both achievements and controversy. But it is precisely because he is at the forefront of all forces that he has more opportunities to stand at the forefront. Think about it, a large group that comes from Yan City who came to Yan City to invest in, and isn't it clear that he wants Xia Xiang to give his results to Xia Xiang for their contact person?
Of course, Gao Hai thought with emotion, and could not only envy Xia Xiang for his good fortune and could not see his capable side. Who made him fall in love with Mayor Chen's thoughts at the meeting, and it coincided with the plan of the Vision Group? This is not a matter of luck. It can only be said that Xia Xiang is talented, knowledgeable, and good luck, and has a backstage. Isn't he the four newcomers in the officialdom? Can he not make big strides?
Xia Xiang still maintained a respectful attitude towards Gao Hai: "In the future, we will rely on Uncle Gao's guidance. In some places where I am not considerate, although Uncle Gao criticized me, it was all for the sake of progress. If I criticized me, I had to invite Uncle Gao to dinner."
"When it comes to eating, I really have an objection. Xiaoxia, you have been in Yanshi for a while. You either have been together with your girlfriend or have had a close relationship with Mayor Cao. I, Uncle Gao, have been neglected by you. Tell me, don't you do it right?" Gao Haiming criticized and secretly brought the relationship closer. In fact, he was a little resentful, and he blamed Xia for always deliberately keeping a distance from him.
The secretary-general of the municipal government is a key position, with a low level, but his power is not small. It is mainly to connect the past and the future, and to be considerate in all aspects. He is not competent if he is not a mayor's confidant. Xia Xiang's feelings for Gao Hai are very complicated. Although he also thinks that others are good, because Song Chaodu has always refused to help him, he is always worried that there may be something in his heart that Gao Hai has offended Song Chaodu, so he is also worried that he will get too close to Gao Hai and that after Song Chaodu gains power, there will be adverse effects.
But now it seems that Gao Hai is not willing to say anything to others for the time being, and he is really not allowed to say anything about him. He honestly accepted Gao Hai's criticism: "Uncle Gao is right in criticizing him. I have been busy with work recently and have to take time to fall in love. I am really too busy... Since Uncle Gao criticized me, I will correct it. I will make an appointment with Uncle Cao tonight to see if he has time to sit together?"
The meaning of sitting is to meet and eat privately. Compared with the official business in the municipal government, the relationship can be closer. Gao Hai is naturally willing to interact with Cao Yongguo more, and they are both Mayor Chen's direct descendants. He and Cao Yongguo have never had any private communication.
When Cao Yongguo heard that it was Xia who wanted to make a move, he agreed immediately.
The meeting location was chosen in Chufenglou.
It happened that Cao Shuyan called and wanted to have dinner with Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang mentioned the evening arrangement. Cao Shuyan thought about Xia Xiang and said, "Uncle Gao is not an outsider, so I'll go over and have a free meal. OK? It's just that it's too far away and I have to go back to school tonight..."
How could Xia Xiang not understand what she meant: "Forget it, who told you to be my little girl? I'll pick you up and then send you over and over again. Are you satisfied?"
"This is almost the same, you are determined." Cao Shuyan exclaimed happily, and suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, I said that I had met Sun An last time, or I would call Sun An and Uncle Sun, it would be no harm for everyone to know each other, right?"
Xia Xiang sighed in her heart that the little girl is very smart and knows how to take advantage of the situation. She is also helping herself weave a network of relationships. With Cao Yongguo and Gao Hai present, Sun An's father will also look up to him. He will not look down on him just because he is Cao Shuyan's boyfriend.
Xia Xiang had no reason to refuse, so he asked the little girl to call to contact him. After a while, she replied, saying that under her coercion and temptation, Sun An did not dare to refuse to agree, and also invited his father, Director Sun Dingguo Sun.
Xia Xiang told Gao Hai that Sun Dingguo, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, that he also had a meal together. Gao Hai was overjoyed and nodded and said yes. Xia Xiang said embarrassedly that he wanted to pick up Cao Shugeng. Gao Hai naturally had no objection, so he asked Xia Xiang to go as long as possible, and he would drive to Chufenglou to prepare.
As Gao Hai's identity, it is a proper etiquette to arrive at the location in advance to wait for Mayor Cao.
Xia Xiang drove the Santana sent by Qiao Baitian to Cao Shugui. Although the car didn't even help the clutch at this time, it would hurt even after driving for a long time. However, he was shuttled through the crowd and turned on the air conditioner. Looking at the sweaty crowd outside, he still felt that it was great to have a car. Regardless of whether it was a good car or a bad car, it could at least be warm in winter and cool in summer.
At the school gate, Cao Shugui found that the little girl had a long short hair and could already tie her braids. She was wearing a plain dress, neither long nor short, and elegant, with her silver lock tied around her neck.
"Why have you grown long hair?" Xia Xiang asked curiously, then glanced at her charming neck and pointed hard, "From Ba County, you said you wanted to tell me the secret of your silver lock. It has been almost a year since then. I still don't know what secret is hidden in the silver lock?"
Seeing that Xia wanted to point her chest with her fingers, Cao Shuqiu hurriedly covered her chest. When he heard the question of Yinsuo, he let out a long sigh: "I thought I had worn something less, but I remembered to wear it... It's just to prevent you from peeking, hum!" She smiled and tied her hair up and combed a small braid, "I think long hair is also good, it seems that you prefer long hair, right?"
"Who said that?" Xia Xiang was more puzzled. Why did the little girl say this?
"Yang Bei and Lian Ruohan have long hair!" Cao Shuyan looked at Xia Xiang provocatively, meaning that he must let me say it, okay, just point out your inner secret.
Xia Xiang pretended to wipe her sweat: "Does they keep their long hair have nothing to do with me."
"I don't have a penny, I feel that it may be a penny, so I'll try to keep long hair and compare who has longer hair." Cao Shuyan's logic made Xia Xiang speechless. He had to pretend to drive in a hurry while turning around, and deliberately did not answer her words. Unexpectedly, the little girl was also interesting. She clicked until she stopped and did not force him to change the topic. "The silver lock was given to me by my grandmother, saying that as long as I keep wearing it and not picking it off, I can lock up the happiness of my life. He also said that if I want to pick it, I can only pick it for a man who loves me for the rest of my life... Alas, although the old man doesn't believe what the old man said, my grandmother is also kind-hearted, so I'll wear it all the time."
After a while, Cao Shuyan sighed in a fake way: "You said, can two people really love each other for a lifetime? The book says that love can only last for 18 months at most... It seems that it is really accurate. I hate you a little now."
"Heroes' views are similar." Xia Xiang didn't follow Cao Shuqiu's words, "Love is a chemical substance that is secreted by the body. Once the chemical substance stops secretion, love will no longer exist. So loving you for a lifetime is definitely a lie. I don't believe it. What do two people love each other? Isn't it, girl?"
"It's you, a big-headed ghost!" Cao Shuyan twisted Xia Xiang's leg without any hesitation. "Girls need to be coaxed by sweet words, especially before they get it. They must add sweet words. They are as stupid as you, and they deserve to be unable to find a girlfriend."
"Who said I don't have a girlfriend? I have so many girlfriends. If I don't believe me, I will call me immediately. A beautiful girl will come to me..."
