Chapter 235 Song Chaodu has the idea of ​​progress

"No, I used to work in the Legal Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Justice, and later I went to An County to become the deputy secretary of the county party committee... What's wrong? What do you mean is that I don't have experience in grassroots work, right? It doesn't matter whether I have experience or not. What's important is that I have confidence and determination to be a qualified secretary!" Mei Xiaolin said with a firm look on her face.

It is a good thing to have confidence and determination, but there are many things in the world that can not be done by just having confidence and determination, but also with wisdom. Xia Xiangsai completely understands that compared with Qiu Xufeng, Mei Xiaolin came down and was completely gilded. She had no political experience and no fighting skills. She used to work in the judicial department and probably naively believed that the law could resolve all disputes, but she did not know that at the grassroots level, the phenomenon of power over the law is very common.

It can even be said that there is almost no absolute justice in which power does not interfere with the judiciary.

Xia Xiang didn't want to reason with Mei Xiaolin and convince her. He stretched out a finger: "Since I am helping Secretary Mei as a friend, I have a condition, that is, we must go to Danbao Township and go in private, not disturbing anyone, and not having any formal identity, so that the real situation can be found."

"Are you talking about a private visit?" Mei Xiaolin opened her eyes wide, "Your method is too old. I used it last time, but I still got nothing. Can you do it?"

Xia thought and laughed. Mei Xiaolin spoke too straightforwardly and didn't know the art of euphemism at all. However, he still explained patiently: "Secretary Mei believes me and listens to me. I promise you can hear the truth... Are you interested?"

"Okay, I'll believe you once." Mei Xiaolin looked at Xia Xiang with a little confusion, stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled happily, "Do you know why I want to believe you?"

Although Mei Xiaolin dresses a bit more rigidly and does not pay much attention to the details of her dressing, she has to admit that she looks very good when she smiles, and has a beautiful and standardized beauty... How to say it? It's like a dignified and elegant lady smiling, with no more than 6 teeth exposed, and the expression on her face is just right. It's not too enthusiastic or polite. At first sight, she can be sure that she has received training in lady tutorials before.

Xia Xiang asked: "I really don't know, Secretary Mei, please speak."

"The main reason is that although you don't know how to take care of others' feelings, you are still quite sincere and have a cute side. When you were arguing with me in the car, you made some sense of what you said. In addition, you are a few years younger than me, I feel very superior in front of you." Mei Xiaolin is interesting. To be honest, she did not hide it at all. "And you are not very handsome and not ugly, especially when you smile, it makes people feel very down-to-earth and reliable. I haven't been in An County for a long time, and you are shorter than me, so I trust you, and there are more people who have worked in An County for a few years."

Xia Xiangxiang laughed but couldn't laugh. Mei Xiaolin said whatever she wanted, based on her personality, it was still unknown how far she could go in the officialdom. It was not a wise decision to let her come down and gild her family. Mei Xiaolin's most suitable job is to sit in a spacious office and do some superficial writing or empty affairs. She is not suitable for dealing with all kinds of people at the grassroots level.

"Thank you for Secretary Mei's trust. My greatest advantage is that I am very sincere and always stands true to my friends. Since we are talking as friends, I also hope that Secretary Mei will tell me in the future and do not hide major matters, so that we can work together..." Xia Xiang seized the opportunity to hint Mei Xiaolin, hoping that she could reveal more about her personal situation.

Mei Xiaolin didn't know if she understood it, but she finally said something that made Xia Xiang feel relieved: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Xia, since you have helped me, if something goes wrong, I will come forward for you."

Is it a promise? Xia Xiang is not sure whether the problem Mei Xiaolin mentioned refers to Li Chaosheng who is trying to trouble himself as a member of the Standing Committee and will she stand up for him? No matter how much Xia Xiang makes up his mind, Li Chaosheng's problem must be investigated. No matter whether Mei Xiaolin withstands the pressure for him, since he has encountered it, he must secretly check himself clearly. Although he will offend Li Chaosheng and Qiu Xufeng for this, he is not afraid. His best skills are to disrupt the situation and then take advantage of the situation.

What's more, some people have serious problems themselves, and all they want is to give the people justice.

When Xia Xiang got up and said goodbye, he made an agreement with Mei Xiaolin to go to Danbao Township tomorrow morning. Then he drove to pick her up. Mei Xiaolin agreed one by one. When he went out, Mei Xiaolin had an old problem again and suddenly said again: "You are too young, and I don't know if it is reliable?"

Although Xia Xiang was used to Mei Xiaolin's tone, she was still a little unhappy and left: "I will wait for Secretary Mei until 8:30 tomorrow, and it will expire."

Xia Xiang left, Mei Xiaolin smiled to herself: "Three years younger than me, why are you pretending to be an adult? It's interesting!"

Xia Xiang did not return to the office, so he came directly to Li Dingshan's office. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Ge pulled it aside. Fang Ge looked nervous and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Brother Xia, you already have a girlfriend, so don't hang out with Secretary Mei anymore, okay? She is my idol."

Xia Xiang was happy: "Fangge, are you two years younger than me? Secretary Mei is five years older than you. As the saying goes, a woman who is older than five years old is an old mother. I think you should give up."

Fangge curled his lips indifferently: "I said Brother Xia, you are about the same age as me, why do you feel that your ideas are very outdated? Now is an era where you care about your affection and not your age. I like her, even if she is ten years older than me, it doesn't matter. Love exists beyond the boundaries of age."

Xia Xiang patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "You said what you just now, after you go home, I will tell Minister Fang again. If he agrees, I will find an opportunity to introduce you to Secretary Mei."

Fangge sat back on the chair dejectedly: "Just because my mother is half a year older than my dad, my dad told me early that I must not find a girlfriend who is older than me. Oh, what kind of world is it..."

Xia Xiang ignored Fang Ge's self-pity and came to Li Dingshan's office in the inner room. Li Dingshan was calling, and he signaled Xia Xiang to sit down first.

Xia Xiang heard it and Li Dingshan was on the phone with Song Chaodu: "Governor Ma wants to be promoted to Standing Committee? The former Vice Governor Lu wants to retire? Well, Governor Ma seems to be relatively neutral, he is more pragmatic, and he is not too close to Secretary Gao... You want to operate the vacant position of Vice Governor, okay, I understand, I will find an appropriate opportunity to ask Mr. Shi to mention it and see his opinions..."

Li Dingshan smiled: "A member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Governor Lu committed something and was sued to the capital. He took the initiative to retreat to protect the treatment of the deputy provincial level, and the superior agreed. Vice Governor Ma took over the position of Vice Governor Lu, so a vacancy for the deputy governor was vacant. Chao Du had been idle for a long time, and he wanted to move. In theory, I should help him, but Mr. Shi was stubborn and could not speak out..."

Originally, Xia Xiang wanted to tell Li Dingshan about the troubles in An County, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, something happened to Song Chaodu suddenly.

Vice Governor Ma? Ma Wanzheng, Governor Ma, who was regarded as a lost brother by Feng Xuguang's father? A thought suddenly popped up in Xia Xiang's mind. Since Ma Wanzheng can successfully become a member of the Standing Committee, it can be seen that the capital also has a backstage. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is not an ordinary person. It all needs to be discussed and approved by the Politburo. There must be an important person nodding.

"Chaodu has always been a deputy provincial treatment. Even if he becomes the vice governor and has not made any progress in his level, at least he takes a step forward in his position. As for the current situation, it is also a good choice. If Mr. Shi comes forward, there is no big problem, but the problem is that Mr. Shi may not give me face..." Li Dingshan smiled bitterly, "The relationship between Shi Jie and I has not made any progress. I have never thought about whether to remarry her. If Shi Jie and I remarry, everything will still be said. Before remarrying, Mr. Shi would have been generous and complained about me. I wonder if I can be promoted to the district as the district mayor, the premise is whether I can remarry Shi Jie. If I think it is good, as long as I remarry Shi Jie, let alone I will be promoted to the deputy department, even if Mr. Shi is happy, he is willing to help."

Xia Xiang had nothing to say after hearing this. From the perspective of caring for his daughter and from the perspective of hoping that his daughter would have a reliance, Mr. Shi’s approach is nothing wrong. It is a father’s sincere love for his daughter. But from the perspective of Li Dingshan, since he has entered the official career, he naturally no longer has the same effect as when he was a reporter station manager, and he can minimize the influence of Mr. Shi on him. Now it is completely different. Once he enters the official career, no one does not want to go further, no one does not want to make political achievements and does not want to be promoted step by step. It can be said that the desire for promotion in the officialdom is as strong and full of pleasure as taking drugs.

Xia Xiang, when Li Dingshan arrived in An County, was eager to make political achievements and lay a solid foundation for the district mayor to be promoted to the deputy department level, it can be seen that Li Dingshan is now very different from Li Dingshan who had just arrived in Ba County. When he first arrived in Ba County, Li Dingshan might have only had the mentality of trying it out for now. He wanted to get rid of the shadow of business failure, prove that he still has the ability, and the possibility of success in his career. Moreover, after all, he first entered the official career, his technique was a little immature, a little soft-hearted, and not strong enough, and so on. He did not have much urgent requirements for political achievements, and he just wanted to serve the people wholeheartedly.

After several years of training, Li Dingshan has matured rapidly and has made great achievements in Ba County. With enough political capital, promotion has become an inevitable necessity to recognize his abilities. If he is not promoted, he will seriously undermine his enthusiasm. Although Li Dingshan's nature has not changed and he has the public intention to ask for the people and benefit the people, in addition to public intention, his expectations for promotion are much stronger than in Ba County. Xia Xiang can also understand his psychology. He has been promoted to a deputy county since he has never been promoted, and he is still at the county level. On the surface, he will definitely have a certain gap in his heart.

So now facing the major choice of remarriage and promotion, Li Dingshan is no longer full of enthusiasm and no longer says very toughly that he will not remarry Shi Jie. His hesitant attitude has shown that he has wavered and it is only a matter of time to agree to Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi is a smart man, knowing that the officialdom is a huge world of fame and fortune. Once he enters, no one can resist its temptation. Li Dingshan is now trapped in it and cannot extricate himself. Song Chaodu is also a smart man. He also knows that after Li Dingshan enters the officialdom, he will definitely have no entry or no exit, and he will jump in and cannot jump out. In the end, he will get closer and closer to Mr. Shi, and then remarry Shi Jie. Song Chaodu also knows that Mr. Shi is not interested in him, but he believes that Mr. Shi will eventually think that he will take action at a critical moment under his strong promotion of Li Dingshan's political career.

There are many opportunities in a person's life, and many obstacles are the levels that determine the fate of life. As long as Mr. Shi takes action to help him once, one will be enough for him to completely get rid of his destiny!

Compared with Song Dynasty Du and Mr. Shi, Li Dingshan's political wisdom was a little lacking. Xia Xiang thought with regret that after Li Dingshan became older, he would recall the moments of difficult choices in his life. I wonder what he would feel?

However, there are no assumptions in life and we cannot look back. If there is no current choice, how can there be a turning point in the future? As a rebirth, Xia Xiang understands the helplessness of life more than anyone else. Sometimes, if you take a wrong step, you will lose all the game, and there is absolutely no possibility of regretting the game.

Since Ma Wanzheng became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Xia Xiang remembered Feng Xuguang again, and wanted to find an opportunity to let Feng Xuguang and Ma Wanzheng meet. If Ma Wanzheng is really Feng Xuguang's uncle who has been separated for many years, whether he recognizes it or not, he finally has a relationship. With his friendship with Feng Xuguang, it is very likely that he will take the opportunity to approach Ma Wanzheng. In this way, he has a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee that he can directly know in the province.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed for a long time. Xia Xiang took back his thoughts and poured a glass of water for Li Dingshan, saying, "In fact, for the sake of the children or to comfort Mr. Shi, remarriage is not a particularly difficult thing. Secretary Li has a foundation for living with Aunt Shi, and the other party's temper also knows each other. Even if there is a conflict after remarriage, he will probably be restrained. After all, with the profound lessons from the previous time, no one is willing to make the same mistake again. Besides, Secretary Li is now the county party secretary and will be transferred to the city as the district mayor in the future. Aunt Shi will understand you at that time. Besides, if you are busy and tired every day, she will understand that you care more about you, and other things will be much less."

There is a saying that Xia Xiang didn't say, that is, he believed that as Li Dingshan's official position grows bigger and his status becomes higher and higher, Shi Jie's arrogance in front of Li Dingshan will become increasingly depressed. This is the case with human nature. One couple will definitely have one strong and the other is weak, and it is impossible for the two to be completely equal. This is like a company. If it is a two-person company, each of them will hold 50% of the shares, and no one will listen to each other, and no one has absolute control. Such a company will not escape the fate of failure.

Li Dingshan took a sip of water slowly, speechless for a long time, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. He put down the water cup, sighed and said, "I only have one way to compromise?"

"This is not a compromise, it is called comprehensive consideration. Sometimes something seems simple, but in fact the impact it brings is still very complicated, so we have to balance the consequences in all aspects and finally draw a conclusion that is most in line with the interests." Xia Xiang changed the topic very smartly in time. He believed that Li Dingshan had already made a decision in his mind. He just said it down and gave him a sufficient reason. He then followed the situation in An County. "Secretary Mei asked me to help her do something, and I have to discuss it with you."

Li Dingshan was stunned: "What do you say?"

"Secretary Mei wants me to help her secretly investigate Li Chaosheng..." Xia Xiang said that the villagers were surrounded by the gate of the county party committee compound.

Li Dingshan said thoughtfully: "According to reliable information, the families of Mei Xiaolin and Qiu Xufeng have been getting closer and closer due to political cooperation. According to Mr. Shi, the two families may have the possibility of political marriage. If you help Mei Xiaolin now, you may be helping Qiu Xufeng."

Xia thought clearly about Li Dingshan's concerns and asked: "What does Secretary Li think of Mei Xiaolin as a human being?"

Li Dingshan thought for a while: "I don't feel like a complicated person, my ideas are sometimes simple and I have a little bit of idealistic tendency."

"Yes, Secretary Li is very accurate in his view. No matter how close Secretary Mei's family is to County Mayor Qiu's family, based on her personal personality, there are many conflicts with County Mayor Qiu's personality. Their personalities are too different. Even if they have to compromise for the interests of the family, idealistic people often have an impulsive side. I think Secretary Mei will stick to her own opinions on major issues." Xia Xiang expressed his true thoughts.

Li Dingshan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement with Xia Xiang's speculation: "Li Chaosheng is Qiu Xufeng's person. Although he is a bit risky, it is worth a try whether it is for the protection of the interests of the villagers or to destroy Qiu Xufeng's right-hand man. Xiaoxia, you must be careful and don't fall into the trap of the other party."

Xia Xiang returned to the office and called Cao Shugui and Lian Ruohan respectively, saying that he missed Cao Shugui and Lian Ruohan were grateful to her Land Rover. Cao Shugui reminded Xia Xiang to drink more water when it was hot, pay attention to heat precautions, etc. Lian Ruohan was not angry and asked him to treat Land Rover well. She said that she had deep feelings for this Land Rover and decided to drive until it was scrapped. Unexpectedly, the next sentence said that she planned to buy another Land Rover and find someone to come up with a license plate adjacent to this Land Rover.
