Chapter 1872 Bottom line (recommended vote, please.)

Xia Xiang encountered countless women in his life.

From Mei Xiaolin, who was the earliest in An County, to Tu Yun, Liu Yilin, Wang Qiangwei, Yizhihua in Lang City, to Chen Jiewen in Tianze, Yang Yaoer in Xiang Province, and Wen Zixuan in Qi Province.

The women who were free from the officialdom and the shopping malls were either well-educated, polite, or domineering, or scheming, or big and brainless, or talented and beautiful. All of them left a deep impression on Xia Xiang.

But... no one is as strong as Ji Rulan, letting him feel wary of him when he meets him!

Yes, it comes from the inner guard.

No woman has ever made Xia Xiang want to stay away from him, but today, he finally met one.

Not counting the identity of the Ji Rulan Ji family, even though he first met Mei Xiaolin when he was a seedling, he learned that the huge and amazing Mei family behind Mei Xiaolin was not afraid of Mei Xiaolin, and still felt that he and Mei Xiaolin could have a peaceful relationship.

But for Ji Rulan, Xia Xiang developed an inexplicable and strong vigilance towards a woman for the first time. He felt that behind Ruhua's smile, there was an unfathomable trap waiting for him to step on the shortage.

Because... although Ji Rulan's voice was beautiful, it was like a shadow under the bright sunlight outside the window, which instantly made Xia Xiang's heart sink suddenly.

"Xia***, I'm with my sister Yan Xiao..." Ji Rulan's voice was three-pointed and four-pointed. "My sister and I invited Xia *** together. I wonder if Xia *** would come?"

After putting down Ji Rulan's phone, Xia Xiang's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

If when Fan Zheng and Gao Jianyuan first appeared, he was threatening to know his background and even sent a threat with bullets, and he still didn't care and could easily defeat the other party, then Ji Rulan's wrists would be like soft but tough vines, stepping forward little by little, and wrapping his whole body around!

Silently, Yan Xiao came to Yangcheng at some point, and did not inform him in advance or meet him, but was with Ji Rulan, which really surprised Xia Xiang.

The Ji family... is indeed much more difficult to deal with than the local forces in Qi Province. Just Ji Rulan makes Xia Xiang feel that she is unable to use her strength. After all, she is a woman, a beautiful woman, with the most lethal weapon of a woman, and the natural gender advantage of a woman. She overcomes hardness with softness and knows how to maximize her own resources. She is indeed the strongest opponent Xia Xiang has encountered in her life.

As the special operation was just put on the agenda, the Ji family has stepped up their offensive against him, and behind it, there must be a hidden political purpose.

Meeting or not meeting? Xia Xiang only hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision: "Okay, I'll arrive on time."

Ji Rulan smiled happily: "I knew Xia*** was reasonable and a good person."

Xia Xiang smiled silently and hung up the phone.

"Tianyun, go to Comrade Hemin's office and come over to get a file of the anti-corruption case of Honghua." Xia Xiang ordered.

Wang Hemin is the deputy *** and director of the Supervision Department of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

A moment later, Tang Tianyun came back, following Wang Hemin. Xia Xiang stretched out his hand: "Thank you Comrade Hemin for your hard work, just let Tianyun take the file."

Wang Hemin dared to make such a big shot, not to mention that he didn't know what important instructions Xia *** had, so he hurriedly came here in person.

"It just so happens that the Honghua corruption case is a major case, and some situations need to be reported to Xia ***." Wang Hemin was very respectful and full of attitude. After all, Xia ***, who is the immediate boss, is not only the Discipline Inspection Commission, but also the deputy provincial party committee member.

Before Xia Xiang could speak, Tang Tianyun poured tea for Wang Hemin and handed it to Wang Hemin himself - it was also a tacit understanding between Tang Tianyun and Xia Xiang. Without the leader's words, the secretary would serve tea. It was Tang Tianyun who conveyed a strong signal to Xia Xiang that Wang Hemin was trustworthy.

...

When the lights first started, Xia Xiang's face was filled with a faint smile, and with confident steps, he got into the special car sent by Ji Rulan to pick him up.

It is a very inconspicuous crown. People in Yangcheng prefer Japanese cars. The streets are full of cars of various Japanese brands, but not many European and American brands.

There was only one driver in the car, and Tang Tianyun sat in front.

Yes, Xia Xiang brought Tang Tianyun to the banquet this time.

During the usual private meetings, Xia Xiang usually doesn’t take a secretary. It’s not that he doesn’t trust the secretary, but that he wants to have a private space. Today, he has a deep meaning.

It was still the villa we met last time. After arriving, Ji Rulan greeted her slowly. However, when she saw Tang Tianyun who was opening the car door for Xia Xiang, a trace of strangeness flashed in her eyes, and even her steps hesitated for a moment.

Ji Rulan Rushui's eyes stayed on Xia Xiang's gentle and confident face for a few seconds in complexity.

Xia Xiang took the initiative to shake hands forward: "Ru Lan, we're meeting again."

Ji Rulan gently closed her long hair and raised her hand. Perhaps a breeze was blowing, and a fragrance came, which made people feel refreshed.

Not far behind Ji Rulan, Yan Xiao, who looked slightly haggard but looked happy.

...

Yan Xiao and Ji Rulan are old acquaintances.

The world is big, but sometimes it is very small. More than ten years ago, Yan Xiao knew Ji Rulan when he was in the future Yan Province. Although he was not a close friend of his sisters, he was also a friend who could meet him at first sight. However, for more than ten years since then, he has not contacted him much and rarely met.

Suddenly, after receiving Ji Rulan's kind invitation, Yan Xiao's thoughts were rising and falling. After hesitating for a long time, he still quietly came to Yangcheng. Although she had little complaints about Xia Xiang knocking the Fan family and his son down, she could not suppress her longing for Xia Xiang.

Yan Xiao also knew that it was not Xia Xiang that he was blamed. He could only say that the Fan father and son brought humiliation to themselves. But no matter what, after all, blood is thicker than water, and relatives are relatives, which is a fact that no one can change. She has little affection with Fan Ruiheng and is not close to Fan Zheng, but when she thinks about the time she worked with her, she is still sad.

Yan Xiao did not think deeply about what Ji Rulan wanted to invite her to Yangcheng, but she could guess with her thoughts that Ji Rulan was not just trying to reminisce about the past, but she must have political purposes, or something she wanted to target Xia Xiang... After she came to Yangcheng, she did not notify Xia Xiang, but just wanted to contact Ji Rulan first to test Ji Rulan's real intention.

Not allowing anyone to be detrimental to Xia Xiang is Yan Xiao’s bottom line.

The Fan family and his son are her relatives, but they are against Xia Xiang and eventually fall under Xia Xiang's feet. Although she has complaints, she still stands firmly on Xia Xiang's side. If Ji Rulan wants to use her to deal with Xia Xiang, she will not care about any sisterhood and will still turn against Ji Rulan.

When Xia Xiang came closer, Yan Xiao smiled softly: "Here you come."

"Here you." Xia Xiang and Yan Xiao's answers were much more casual. The more casual they were, the more unusual the relationship between the two. "Why did they come to Yangcheng, don't say anything? Could it be that Rulan's villa is better than the conditions of the provincial party committee guesthouse?"

Ji Rulan smiled and said, "Xia***, I was my guest when I was a child. I invited her to Yangcheng, so I naturally have to live in my house."

When he arrived at the living room, Ji Rulan was still making tea with bare hands, while Yan Xiao sat quietly, quiet and speechless, but her eyes occasionally conveyed messages to Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang had some understanding of Yan Xiao’s purpose of coming to Yangcheng.

Xia Xiang was surprised not by Ji Rulan's actions of inviting Yan Xiao, but by how deep she understood him, and obviously did a lot of meticulous work behind her back. Faced with such a careful and shrewd woman, Xia Xiang had to do every step.

Tang Tianyun sat aside, calm and silent, just like he did not exist. He never asked a question or expressed surprise at anything. He absolutely achieved the highest level of a secretary - turning a blind eye and turning a deaf ear.

Yan Xiao did not dress up today, but put on light makeup. His slightly haggard expression could not hide his still delicate facial features. She wore a long dress and sat side by side with the elegant and quiet Ji Rulan, like a leaf blooming and two flowers.

Ji Rulan wore a blue top and plain trousers, revealing a bit of conciseness in her quietness. What is very different from the last time she met was that this time she had no home style, and her formal outfit also showed her mood today - please come here and have something to talk about.

Xia Xiang also had a secretary to follow him, and he also expressed a strong suggestion to Ji Rulan. Today's meeting was official.

Yan Xiao might have felt the depression of the atmosphere and went out with the excuse.

"Rulan, you invited me to come in the name of Yan Xiao. I'm here now. Please tell me if you have any advice." Xia Xiang was unhappy with Ji Rulan's plot, and his tone became a little cold when he spoke. In fact, if Ji Rulan hadn't mentioned Yan Xiao, he wouldn't have met Ji Rulan again today.

He was slightly annoyed because of the two-sided techniques of the Ji family.

Ji Rulan noticed Xia Xiang's unhappiness, and she stroked her forehead with her hand, her eyes calmly and calmly: "Xia***, Lingnan is a good place, and there is no need to cut down randomly."

"What is your identity to talk to me?"

Xia Xiang was as clear as a mirror. The special operation would take many department-level senior officials. Most of the Lingnan department-level senior officials are the direct descendants of the Ji family, with a total of more than one-third. That is to say, even if the special operation was not deliberately targeted the Ji family, it would at least lose many of the Ji family's members to win over more than a dozen department-level senior officials. The Ji family would naturally be very dissatisfied, and even think that Chen Haotian was intentional.

Ji Rulan faced Xia Xiang's questioning and indifferent gaze and smiled calmly: "I am just an ordinary little woman, where is my identity?"

Still scheming? Xia thought about it and got up: "The decision of the provincial party committee is that you don't have to be irrelevant to the point of being an ordinary little woman. I still have something to do, so I won't sit down."

Xia wanted to leave as soon as he wanted, but he didn't give Ji Rulan a little face. He ignored her shock and walked quickly to the door.

"Xia***, I cooked fresh soup myself and left without tasting it. It's too inhumane." Ji Rulan's voice was as soft as wine.

Xia Xiang’s intention to leave was like iron: “No need.” Even an explanation was owed.

As soon as I walked to the door, an old voice came from behind me: "Xia***, please stay!"
