Chapter 214 Mystery at the Standing Committee

Xia Xiang had already prepared the map of Xiaoma Village and Dama Village. He first wrote a draft and asked Cao Shuyan to redesign the People's Park first. He would roughly straighten out the design ideas of Xiaoma Village and Dama Village, and then connect them with the original People's Park to create a rockery pavilion with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the People's Square is full of beautiful scenery everywhere!

The two of them designed for two hours in a row, and they were a little tired. When they saw that it was already past nine o'clock and there was no sound downstairs, it was obvious that no one came back. Xia Xiang saw Cao Shuyan biting a pencil and thinking in thought. He was both well-behaved and pityful, so he became a bad mind again: "Stay a break and don't be too tired. Rome was not built in one day."

Cao Shuyan said "yes", his eyes still not far from the drawing board.

"Why do we read the book for a while, okay?" Xia Xiang was kind and tempted.

Cao Shuyan didn't understand: "What book is read? Let me think about it again. There is a detail stuck. Wait a minute and don't make trouble!"

Xia Xiang was a little anxious: "Wait longer, there will be no time. Uncle Cao and the others are back, so we can't read the book."

"What do you think? What does my dad have to do with you reading books?" Cao Shuyan glared at Xia Xiang with dissatisfaction. Because of her careful thinking, she exuded an indescribable and calm beauty, which was so touching.

Xia Xiang pulled her into her arms: "I want to read your book..."

Cao Shu woke up and smelled, his cheeks flushed: "You big pervert!" He turned around and ran out of the room, giggling, "I'm going to take a shower, good night."

Xia Xiang hurriedly chased after him, but Cao Shuyan reacted quickly enough. He ran to the bathroom and locked the door, and was still inside and angry: "I'm taking a shower. Don't think about it all, go take a shower and sleep, be obedient."

It would be strange that Xia Xiang could be obedient. There was no one at home, and the little girl was taking a bath inside. If he could go in, what a erotic scene would it be! Just as he was thinking about the hot body, suddenly the door rang and Cao Yongguo came back.

Finally, Xia Xiang went upstairs to sleep obediently in Wang Yufen's scrutiny eyes, thinking in his heart, "Oh, you little girl, you wait, you will definitely read you enough one day."

Less than 20 days before the Spring Festival, the peace of the municipal party committee and government was finally broken. At Chen Feng's strong request, the issue of the establishment of the Urban Village Renovation Group Office was formally submitted to the Standing Committee for discussion!

In the office, compared with Xia Xiang's calm expression, Qu Yaxin was absent-mindedly looking through the information, but in fact she didn't read a page. Can she read it? Mayor Chen submitted a staffing issue to the Standing Committee, but everyone knew in his heart that the Standing Committee was not discussing whether to approve the staffing, but discussing the survival of the urban village renovation group.

The difference is too big. If you pass, Xia Xiang can be promoted to the deputy division level, and she and Wu Gangde can naturally stay in the municipal government compound to work. Once Xia Xiang is transferred to another place, one of her and Wu Gangde can take over Xia Xiang, thus taking a crucial step in their political career and being promoted from department level to deputy division level.

But if it fails, even if the transformation team is not explicitly disbanded, the status of the transformation team will actually plummet compared to before, no more authority, and will be looked down upon by everyone, and will basically become a useless department. Perhaps it won’t take long before Mayor Chen is transferred, the transformation team will be taken down by someone. At that time, Mayor Chen will definitely not speak again, and it will be his default attitude.

Life and death are of different levels of life and death, and it is reasonable for Qu Yaxin to restlessly.

Compared with Qu Yaxin who was reluctantly able to remain calm, Wu Gang was like an ant on a hot pan, walking around the office constantly, sighing from time to time, and saying to himself: "What should I do? What should I do? How to live the future? The Urban Management Bureau can't go back. If the renovation team is removed, Mayor Chen should give us those of us who work hard, right?"

After Zhong Yiping came in, he asked Xia in a low voice: "Director Xia, what should I do?"

Fangge followed Zhong Yiping in and said disdainfully at Zhong Yiping's question: "What are you worried about? Why are you worried about? Have you not seen Director Xia sit on Diaoyutai? Director Xia is not anxious, proving that he has a clear idea. If he knows it, it is not your turn to worry about it. Besides, you will be in vain and it doesn't work, so I suggest you go to the side to rest."

Zhong Yiping ignored Fang Ge's sarcasm, poured Xia Xiang a glass of water, and then asked: "Director Xia, you said something to make me feel at ease."

Xia Xiang drank water slowly, pointed his finger at Zhong Yiping's chest and said, "Your heart is in your stomach. It has been safe, why do you still need me to rest?"

Fangge's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that Director Xia's words were quite philosophical. Is he a graduate of the philosophy department?"

"Those who graduated from the Department of Philosophy are talking on paper. Director Xia's feelings come from life are much deeper than things on paper." Zhong Yiping's flattery skills are becoming more mature, and he took the opportunity to immediately give him a very high-level flattery.

Wu Gangde frowned: "When is it now? You two are still making trouble here. Go out, go out for me! I'm so annoyed!"

Xia Xiang came up standing, smiled and pressed Wu Gangde's shoulders, and asked him to sit down: "Director Wu is calm, the Standing Committee has not ended yet, so it is a good thing."

Wu Gangde just sat down, and when he heard Xia Xiang's words, he stood up like a burning butt: "What do you say?"

"If I can't pass it, the result will be long ago. There is no conclusion yet. It proves that the Standing Committee members are expressing their opinions, which means that the debate is quite fierce. Since the debate is fierce, it means that things have turned around. If I am not wrong, many unexpected things will happen at the Standing Committee..."

Xia Xiang really guessed it right.

At the Standing Committee, Cui Xiang, who usually doesn't smoke much, ignored the rules for prohibiting smoking at the Standing Committee he set. After smoking three cigarettes in a row, it was still difficult to suppress the resentment and fear in his heart. Unexpectedly, he did not expect that the Standing Committee, which he had always been confident that he could absolutely control, suddenly had an unpredictable reversal!

If Chen Feng, Cao Yongguo and Yi Sipeng were all expected by the municipal government, the votes for support from the Organization Minister Fang Jinjiang were not surprising. What surprised him the most was the sudden turn of Deputy Secretary Wang Pengfei!

Originally, when Wang Pengfei spoke, he pointed out that the office of the Urban Village Renovation Group has a too obvious personal style, which is not conducive to treating all developers fairly and justly. He thought that Wang Pengfei would clearly oppose the formalization of the transformation group. Unexpectedly, Wang Pengfei changed the topic and suddenly said righteously: "It is precisely because the Urban Village Renovation Group is too personal and irregular that it is necessary to reasonably place it in the municipal government's organization... I think Mayor Chen's proposal is still for the sake of the overall situation, and the municipal party committee should support it!"

Wang Pengfei hit a thousand waves with one stone. Several members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee looked at each other. They couldn't believe that Secretary Wang, who usually had a high degree of consistency with Secretary Cui, suddenly changed his direction and changed his temperament, and even voted for Chen Feng!

In politics, it is really unpredictable. Everything can happen. Everyone was shocked. Even Chen Feng looked at Wang Pengfei in surprise, wondering why he was speaking to him?

However, something even more surprising happened. Xu Dequan, the secretary general of the municipal party committee, who has always been closest to Cui Xiang, was almost Cui Xiang's sound tube, pushed his glasses, cleared his throat, looked at Fang Jinjiang, and said with a smile: "Since the establishment of the transformation group, the developers in Yan City have a backbone. If there is a formal establishment, it will not only show the importance of the municipal party committee and government for the transformation group, but also make developers more at ease dealing with the transformation group. So I think, isn't it just to approve a construction, just approve it."

Cui Xiang's cigarette fell on the table, and he didn't notice it at all. The conference room was full of heating, but after all, it was not summer, just around 20 degrees, but he felt a coldness behind him - it was full of sweat!

Out of control, out of control!

If it was someone else, such as the Minister of Propaganda Hui Yongyi and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Chen Yulong, he would not be too surprised, because Hui Yongyi and Chen Yulong were not close to him, and they did not belong to the Chen Feng faction nor the Cui Xiang faction. But now Hui Yongyi and Chen Yulong have not spoken yet, but his people are distracted. How could Cui Xiang not let out a chill from the bottom of his heart: When did Chen Feng have such great charm, and even Wang Pengfei has united the front with him? And Xu Dequan, who has always obeyed him, and today's rebellion at the battle made him feel even more chilled!

Betrayed by his own people is the most unacceptable thing. Cui Xiang has already left his anger. He only had one thought in his mind: he can't continue, and he can't let more than half of the Standing Committee support Chen Feng, otherwise his prestige will be greatly reduced and he will lose the halo of the secretary's control!

So when Cui Xiang saw that the Minister of Propaganda Hui Yongyi's hand was about to be raised, he pressed the cigarette butt hard in the ashtray and made a final decision: "I was also deeply inspired after listening to everyone's speeches. I don't need to discuss the establishment of the reform team anymore, and I have passed it."

After saying this, Cui Xiang seemed to be exhausted, leaned on the chair and waved his hand weakly: "The meeting has ended..."

Everyone didn't understand why Secretary Cui, who had already raised objections from the beginning, overturned his speech. But everyone also understood that Secretary Cui did not want to defeat too badly and did not want to see a voice of approval at the Standing Committee. All voices of approval were voices of opposition to him. He made a decision in time and did not want to leave a bad impression of being stubborn, but wanted to leave a good impression of being good at doing good.

A politician who stops in time is a smart politician who does not do meaningless things by a temporary struggle. From this perspective, Secretary Cui’s admit defeat is actually a very wise choice!

Gao Hai learned the news immediately. He came to the office of the transformation group, his face filled with joy of victory, but he didn't say anything, just nodded heavily to Xia Xiang.

As soon as Gao Hai left, a cheer sounded from the renovation group office!

In the evening, all the members of the renovation team drove three Santanas and three vans, and rushed to the hotel for dinner. That night, Zhong Yiping and Wu Gangde were drunk and drunk. Xia Xiang also drank a lot, and even Qu Yaxin was drunk. He held Xia Xiang's hand and said something that made Xia Xiang very embarrassed: "Xiao Xia, you are so good. If my elder sister is about 10 years younger, I must take the initiative to chase you."

Zhong Yiping leaned forward and said, "Director Qu, I don't think you are old. Otherwise, you will try chasing me, and you will definitely succeed if you chase me."

As a result, Qu Yaxin was a rare young man, and she raised her pink fist and beat Zhong Yiping.

At the end of the song, everyone parted, and Xia Xiang drove to the square to send home.

Fangge lives in the Municipal Party Committee’s family courtyard and is sent downstairs. Xia wants to turn around and leave, but Fangge is pulled by: “It’s not interesting to sit at home and sit at the door and don’t enter the door.”

Xia Xiang was embarrassed to disturb Minister Fang, but he couldn't stand Fang Ge, so he had to follow him into the door.

Fang Jinjiang was sitting in the living room watching TV. When he saw the two of them coming in, he smiled: "Xiaoxia is here? Today is your big day for the transformation team. Young people can be happy and drink, but don't go too far."

Fang Ge complained: "Dad, just put down your airs at home, okay? Brother Xia and I are friends now, not superiors and subordinates. You and Brother Xia are not superiors and subordinates now, do you agree?"

"Agree, agree, just call uncle when you get home." Fang Jinjiang's words were filled with a sense of pampering. It can be seen that he loved Fang Ge very much and was very accommodating.

However, Xia Xiang was not familiar with Fang Jinjiang after all. She sat for a while, said a few words of gossip and said goodbye. From beginning to end, Fang Jinjiang did not mention anything about the Standing Committee.

Xia Xiang was about to go back to his residence when the phone rang, and Cao Shuyan's voice sounded sweetly: "Where is it? Go home quickly, we are waiting for you."

The little girl summoned her, but Xia Xiang didn't dare to refuse. After hearing her tone, she must have been entrusted by Cao Yongguo. Thinking about it, it was time to chat with Uncle Cao, so Xia Xiang turned the front of the car and drove back to the Cao family.

As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned: In the living room, Cao Yongguo and Wang Yufen were sitting in the middle of the sofa, Cao Shugui and Cao Shujun were sitting on the sofa on the side, and the family of four and eight pairs of eyes looked directly at Xia Xiang!

Xia Xiang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Cao, Aunt Wang, what's wrong? I was scared!"

Cao Shujun took the lead in applauding first, and then Cao Shujin also jumped up and clapped vigorously. Wang Yufen also smiled and patted a few times. Even Cao Yongguo smiled and patted with symbolic hands. He waited for the applause to stop before he spoke solemnly on behalf of the Cao family: "First, on behalf of the Cao family, I welcome Xiaoxia to celebrate Xiaoxia's official step in life. From section level to deputy department is an important level. After passing, you can usher in a broader world. I remember that it took me three years from section level to deputy department, but Xiaoxia only took less than a year..."

Sighing the New Year, Cao Yongguo said with great relief: "I have come to the deputy hall at the age of 30. I still underestimated you. It is very possible to go to the main hall at the age of 30, haha..."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I really admire you now." Cao Shujun smiled and said a little unfairly, "If you first get promoted to the deputy director and then chase my sister, my admiration for you will be reduced to 50%. But when it was not yet a level, my sister followed you wholeheartedly and then quickly rose to the deputy director. This is not an ordinary person, so I admire you 100%.

This time, Cao Shun rarely did not deal with Cao Shujun, but said with a smile: "You little brat, you are only half right, you should say that your sister has more vision."

"Yes, yes, sister is wise." After Cao Shujun flattered Cao Shuyan, he immediately smiled at Xia Xiang, "Brother-in-law, when my dad retreats in the future, I will follow you. You have to protect me - I am your only brother-in-law."

The whole family laughed.

Cao Yongguo asked Xia Xiang to sit down and told him the unexpected changes at the Standing Committee. Xia Xiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "There are no eternal friends in politics, only eternal interests, which is true. Secretary Cui's defeat this time can be said to have failed because of carelessness. He took it for granted that those who should support him will definitely support him, and those who do not help each other, because his persistence will also stand with him in this small matter. In fact, a person in a high position, who stays in a high position for a long time, and the feeling of controlling everything will make him slow to react, and he always thinks that things can remain unchanged... Where are the unchanging people and things in the world?"

Cao Yongguo didn't say anything, and looked at Xia Xiang for a long time, thinking that he was just 25 years old, why was he so steady, and how could he sigh so much? I remembered that he almost lost his big picture because of a small loss. At that time, he was really not as eager to protect him. But why did he be so confident that he thought Chen Feng would definitely win?

Xia Xiang answered Cao Yongguo's question: "Mayor Chen is not a reckless person. He dares to submit it to the Standing Committee, but he has confidence in his heart. Even if he does not guarantee that the votes are more than half, he will have at least half of them. Perhaps he can still win one or two swaying votes. Of course, no one can imagine the unexpected happening today. Is Mayor Chen not sure what went wrong?"

Cao Yongguo smiled implicitly: "I don't know who Mayor Chen is getting close to. In advance, I communicated with Minister Fang and Mayor Yi. For the others, because of Minister Lu, I can still talk to the Minister of Propaganda. However, when I called, the Minister's attitude was unclear, so I was also unsure. Xiaoxia, tell me the truth, Secretary Wang and Secretary Xu, do you know what's going on?"

Xia wanted to know that Gao Jianyuan and Fan Zheng must have taken action behind the scenes, but he didn't know which member of the Standing Committee was. As for Secretary Wang, he guessed that it might be more because of the Dacai Group, and whether Secretary Xu was Gao Chengsong or Fan Ruiheng's person, he had no idea. All the changes were actually confused and could not guess clearly, so he simply shook his head: "I really don't know what it is. Secretary Wang and I only met several times, but I helped him move a rattan chair and talked a few words, but there must be another reason for his willingness to stand out for the transformation of the group office."
