Chapter 249 The possibility of Cao Yongguo taking office as secretary of the municipal party committee

Cao Shuyan answered the phone: "Hey, sister, why haven't you come to see me for a long time?"

"I'm really busy lately and can't leave. I'll come to find you in a few days. OK? I really miss you, girl, are you okay?" Cao Shuyan turned on the hands-free. Xia Xiang could hear clearly from the side, but he just didn't dare to speak.

"I'm fine, but Xia Xiang is a little bit bad."

"What's wrong with him? Didn't he behave well? I heard that there is a beautiful female secretary in An County, so he probably won't be happy anymore, right?"

Xia Xiang was so angry that he stared at him, but Cao Shuyan held back his smile: "Is that so? Why haven't I heard him say it? Did he deliberately not say it and hide it, but it doesn't prove that there is a ghost in his heart?"

"I guess he won't like the female secretary either, because she is three years older than him. According to my observations of him, he has always liked girls younger than him, such as the sage girl, and Wei Xin..."

Xia Xiang had the urge to rush over and turn off the phone.

"Who is Wei Xin?" Cao Shuqian looked curious. What she said to her phone, but her eyes were looking straight at Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang forced himself to calm down, but in his heart he had already thrown Lian Ruohan onto the bed, ready to ravage her.

"A female college student, two years younger than you, right?" Lian Ruohan seemed to know Xia Xiang was eavesdropping next to her. She deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, he is still a good person. Wei Xin is a very hard-earned girl. Xia Xiang wanted to help her and introduced her to work here..."

Lian Ruohan briefly introduced Wei Xin a few words. She was very clever and did not ask Cao Shuyan why he didn't know Wei Xin, and he was also a woman with clear mind. After talking about Wei Xin, he changed the topic and pretended to ask accidentally: "Is today Xia Xiang's birthday? I remember he seemed to say that he celebrated his lunar birthday?"

Cao Shuqi raised his fist at Xia Xiang, then raised his face, and expressed his dissatisfaction to him. Xia Xiang laughed with her and pretended to be ashamed.

"Yes, today is his lunar birthday. Do you want your sister to come and celebrate him? He is next to me, do you want to say a few words to him?"

Lian Ruohan’s voice couldn’t be heard any changes: “No, I’m a little busy and can’t leave. Just wish him a happy birthday to me!”

However, now that Xia Xiang, who had a deep understanding of Lian Ruohan, could still sensitively hear a hint of nervousness and uneasiness from the ups and downs of her voice. He knew in his heart that Lian Ruohan should have guessed that Cao Shugui had already seen that the relationship between her and herself was a bit beyond that of an ordinary friend.

Cao Shuyan hung up the phone, looked at Xia Xiang a few more intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Even sister is really. If she really wants to wish you a happy birthday, she should call you in advance or invite us to have a meal together, how great it would be."

Xia Xiang laughed: "I forgot myself... It's not just a birthday, it's no big deal."

"I was just wondering, will my sister give you a surprise and celebrate your Gregorian birthday again?" The little girl came over, hugged Xia Xiang's arm, and took the initiative to kiss him on the face for the first time, "Give you a birthday gift!"

Xia Xiang directly ignored Cao Shuyan's first sentence and followed her second sentence and said: "How about we study hard while it's late tonight?"

"Don't think of good things, parents will come back at any time." The little girl's eyes were a little blurred, and a flush appeared on her face, a little confused, "It should be yours, it will always be yours, and she can't escape."

The little girl was moved? Xia Xiang couldn't stand the little girl's shyness, so she was a little confused. She was about to pounce on her and hit her, but suddenly her phone rang again.

It's a text message.

When Xia Xiang opened it, he was laughable and suddenly felt ridiculous. It turned out to be a text message from Mei Xiaolin: "Happy birthday! Also, I know your birthday from your resume. I'm bored and I'll send it. Don't be too careful."

Cao Shuyan picked up the remote control and changed the channel as if nothing had happened. Xia thought about it and still honestly explained: "It was a text message sent by the beautiful secretary. I wish me a happy birthday."

"It proves that you have a good popularity." The little girl is very smart. She only said one sentence and would not ask more questions.

Xia Xiang wanted to explain another sentence, but suddenly the text message came again, and Mei Xiaolin: "I didn't want to explain too much, but when I think you must be with your girlfriend now, I will say something more and explain it to your girlfriend for me, and I said that we are just working relationships."

Xia Xiang was so happy that she couldn't help laughing out loud. Mei Xiaolin is really interesting. Isn't this a place without silver? Fortunately, he knew the little girl's temper, so he handed her phone to the little girl for a look. The little girl glanced at her a few times and smiled: "This female secretary is really interesting, she is so straightforward. Her temper is a bit like blue socks, and she talks about it."

Xia Xiang took the opportunity to hug her and whispered: "Are you not too careful?"

The little girl gave him a blank look: "How much I care? I don't worry about it or think about it. Men can't control me. If you really like someone, just treat him wholeheartedly, be kind to him so kind to him that he is embarrassed to have other ideas - am I right?"

Xia Xiang nodded quickly: "Yes, that's right. The girl in Nai is so smart. You can write a book in the future, called "How to Keep a Man's Heart", which is definitely a best-seller."

"Forget it, I don't have that level. I just hope that I can keep the hearts of the person I like and teach others? Where can I have that time!" She smiled mischievously, "I just care about you, I can be busy."

Xia Xiang Dahan: "I'm so bad? I'm so worried, so you're always on guard?"

The little girl laughed: "Where did you want to go? I mean, I have to take care of you and care about you, and why do you say you want to look at you every day? Are you guilty?"

Xia Xiang nodded: "Understand, understanding, it is because I misunderstood the leader's intentions, and now I sincerely accept the leader's criticism."

"Come on." The little girl smiled and punched Xia Xiang in front of the chest, but Xia Xiang grabbed her hand and couldn't break free. Xia Xiang started looking for her little mouth and waited for another stamping exercise. Unexpectedly, the lips were just stuck together and the text message on the phone rang again. Xia Xiang didn't want to read it, but the little girl took the opportunity to push him away.

"Look at whose text message it is, don't miss other people's blessings." She smiled and ran aside, using her hands to silence, "I heard my parents going up the stairs, stop making trouble."

Xia Xiang shook his head. The little girl was weird and it was really hard to take it down, so she had to pick up her phone and look it up. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t look at it. She was shocked when she saw it. It turned out to be Xiao Jia’s text message.

Xiao Jia's text message was a bit strange: "Are you happy? I'm very happy!" The meaning is a bit profound, and the association is a bit rich, but Xia Xiang knew in his heart that she was actually wishing him a happy birthday, because her subtext was: You are happy, so I'm happy.

The little girl's ears were really sharp, and there was a knock on the door. Xia Xiang took advantage of her opening and quickly replied to Xiao Jia with a text message. The text message was: "You are happy, so I am happy!" Then she deleted the text message with lightning speed, and secretly warned herself that she should make arrangements in advance for her birthday next year. Who should be with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with whom she is with. You must clearly distinguish it without making any mistakes.

Otherwise, it will be doomed.

Cao Yongguo and Wang Yufen are back together.

Cao Yongguo was a little drunk. He said happily as soon as he saw Xia, "Xiao Xia is here, let Wang Yufen cut the cake for you... It's your birthday, good thing, and it's one year old."

Wang Yufen hit Cao Yongguo's arm: "If you don't let you drink so much, do you want to drink? How old is he, he has no self-control. He is still the deputy mayor, and he is drunk, what is he like?"

Cao Yongguo ignored Wang Yufen's complaints, sat on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia, do you know who I am drinking with? It's Mayor Chen and Secretary Lu!"

Wang Yufen brought the cake, and Cao Shunei inserted a candle. Xia Xiang blew out the candle in one breath at Cao Shunei's request, and then cut the cake and distributed it to everyone.

Cao Yongguo waved his hand and said he would not eat the cake. Wang Yufen disagreed and forced a piece of it into his hand: "This is Xia Xiang's birthday cake. You have to eat it if you don't eat it. If you don't eat it, it means you won't give your daughter face."

Cao Yongguo pointed his hand at Wang Yufen: "Look, this is my experience and lesson. You can't be too used to your wife in the future, otherwise she will take care of you every day and ask you to do this and do that, which is annoying."

Xia Xiang laughed and didn't dare to comment.

Wang Yufen glared at Cao Yongguo and wanted to say something, but Cao Shugui pulled aside. Cao Shugui advised: "Mom, dad has something to say to Xia Xiang, you go watch TV."

Cao Yongguo does have something to say to Xia.

Today he went to visit Secretary Lu with Chen Feng. Perhaps because of the reason he was about to retreat, or because he was looking at Chen Feng's face, Secretary Lu was quite polite to Cao Yongguo. The three of them went to a quiet leisure manor for dinner. During the meal, Secretary Lu revealed some trends in the province.

Secretary Lu will retire this year due to his age, and Cui Xiang will take over his position as secretary. In addition, Zuo Anping, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, may be transferred to the Western Province as deputy secretary. The vacant position of the Organization Minister is to be transferred on the spot in Yan Province or airborne from the capital. The province and the capital have not reached a consensus. The capital means that he wants to airborne. Gao Chengsong firmly opposes it and clearly points out that too many cadres are airborne in the capital, which is not conducive to the economic development and political stability of Yan Province.

The capital has not formed a unified opinion and is currently in a stalemate.

"A organization minister naturally attracted the attention of all parties. Whether it is the capital or Yan Province, there are too many people staring at this position, and there will definitely be a compromise in the end." Secretary Lu said with emotion.

"It is said that Secretary Gao has a close relationship with that person, isn't it true?" Chen Feng asked. There are many rumors about Secretary Gao, such as he had been in close contact with that person, such as he had received the person's personal promise, etc. It is precisely because of this that he is so confident that he is the only one in Yan Province, and no one dares to challenge his authority.

Secretary Lu raised a finger: "There is no groundless in the world. Since it is a rumor, there are naturally traces to be found. However, one thing you must remember in the officialdom is that some things can only be understood in your heart, but you cannot say them out of your mouth."

Chen Feng hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, I will remember it, Secretary Lu."

Secretary Lu looked at Cao Yongguo a few more times and said meaningfully: "I know that Yongguo and Chen Feng have similar tempers and are both pragmatic good cadres. However, the next step is that Chen Feng takes office as Secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee. Yongguo wants to be mayor, which is unlikely."

Cao Yongguo also knew that according to the principle of balance, the province would not allow the top leaders of the party and government in a sub-provincial city to cooperate too much, which is very unfavorable to the provincial control. And there is another point that Cao Yongguo's qualifications are too shallow, and now he will become the mayor of Yan City, which is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of deputy provincial cadres. The progress is a bit too fast and it is difficult to convince the public.

Cao Yongguo did not hide his true thoughts in front of Secretary Lu: "It is a lie to say that you don't want to. Of course, I also know that the province has always had some opinions on sub-provincial cities. It is well known that Mayor Chen and I have a good relationship and getting close to each other. However, with such an opportunity, I will inevitably have some thoughts..."

Secretary Lu laughed: "Yongguo is very honest. I like this kind of personality. Let me put it this way, Yongguo, when I retreated, I also put forward the conditions, that is, let Chen Feng take office. So I can't put forward new conditions. I can't help you with your progress."

Although Cao Yongguo had no hope that Secretary Lu would help him much, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Secretary Lu's words with his own ears. He nodded and said, "I'm actually here to thank Secretary Lu. Without you, I wouldn't be able to sit as the executive vice mayor. Why dare you ask for help? Thank you very much."

Secretary Lu shook his head: "Yongguo, I will definitely help you if I can help you. If you have a temper with Chen Feng, it is equivalent to being a temper with me. If I help you, it is equivalent to helping myself." After a pause, he suddenly said with a happy face, "By the way, the secretary of the Baoshi Municipal Party Committee is also old. The mayor of Baoshi is not qualified enough and cannot take over as secretary on the spot. If it is done, Yongguo will still have great hope to go to the ruling party."

Although the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bao City is on par with the executive vice mayor of Yan City, and Cao Yongguo used to be considered a quarantine, the secretary of the municipal party committee was a member of the party and was in charge of the other party without being restrained. It can better implement the personal governance concept and is the best stage to exert personal abilities. Compared with the provincial leaders and various restraints of the municipal party committee in Yan City, the autonomy is much more independent.

Cao Yongguo couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Feng was a little reluctant to let Cao Yongguo leave Yan City, because if Cao Yongguo didn't leave, he would definitely be able to firmly sit in the throne of executive vice mayor, so that his influence on the government would not be weakened. If Cao Yongguo leaves and a new mayor is transferred, let alone whether he can match him or not. Tan Long can succeed Cao Yongguo's position as executive vice mayor. If Tan Long forms an alliance with the new mayor, the situation will not be optimistic.

But from the perspective of enjoying Cao Yongguo's further consideration, Chen Feng had no reason to persuade Cao Yongguo to stay.

Cao Yongguo could also guess Chen Feng’s thoughts, but he didn’t say anything. In the officialdom, there are not a situation where opportunities are given up for friends, but there are too few. If there is really a chance to take office in Baoshi, he doesn’t want to miss it. After all, the vacancy of the municipal party secretary is a rare resource, so you must seize it if you have the opportunity.

Cao Yongguo boldly proposed: "If Minister Lu raised this matter in the Standing Committee, it would be great if Secretary Lu could speak a few good words."

Secretary Lu looked at Chen Feng inadvertently, and Chen Feng had to express his opinion: "I still support Yongguo's idea. It will be of great benefit to his future development. Secretary Lu can speak for Yongguo before he retreats, which is also a great charity."

After receiving Chen Feng's support and Secretary Lu's promise, Cao Yongguo was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink a few more drinks...

Xia Xiang heard Cao Yongguo's words and held a piece of cake in his hand, and was speechless for a long time.

Bao City is located north of Yan City, between Yan City and the capital. It is an ancient city with neither ups nor downs, an industrial foundation, and a well-developed agriculture. It ranks in the average among the dozen cities in Yan Province. It would be a good thing if Uncle Cao could become the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bao City. However, if Uncle Cao went to Bao City to take office, Cao Shugui and Cao Shujun naturally could not go with him. They also had to go to college, so Aunt Wang would definitely accompany him. Moreover, it can be said that as Uncle Cao left, he would lose a lot of help in Yan City.

After all, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Baoshi cannot take charge of Yanshi's affairs. In short, it has a slightly bad impact on him. However, he also thought that Gao Chengsong was about to fall, and Uncle Cao stayed away from Yanshi and avoided the political storm.

According to the normal historical process, there should be less than a year left. Xia Xiang can't remember exactly which event triggered the fuse, but the time is not too different, at the latest it will be the first half of next year.

Logically speaking, if Uncle Cao went to Baoshi City, he would hint to Gao Jianyuan, Gao Chengsong and Uncle Cao have no conflict of interest now. As long as Gao Jianyuan spoke, he would definitely speak. As long as Gao Chengsong spoke, it would be a foregone conclusion that Uncle Cao went to Baoshi City. However, Xia Xiang was too late to stay away from Gao Jianyuan and would definitely not ask him for help. If Gao Chengsong could speak for Uncle Cao, after he fell, he would probably be marked as Gao Chengsong. Even if he was not implicated too much, his future career would be greatly affected.

Xia Xiang felt a little headache. The situation in Yan Province was really surging. An earthquake was coming. Yan City was about to come. Yan City wanted to have a new mayor, Yan Province wanted to change a new secretary, and there was also an organization minister. Song Chaodu also wanted to join the ranks of vice governors, and Li Dingshan also wanted to operate as the district mayor. In the long run, once Gao Chengsong fell, not only would he be vacant as the provincial party secretary, but his followers would probably be dismissed.

There will be great governance after a great chaos. It is precisely because of the great chaos that there are more opportunities for choice and that many people can get the opportunities they have dreamed of before.

Before he could ask how to arrange the family after Uncle Cao went to Bao City, Uncle Cao took the initiative to raise this question: "If I really go to Yan City, Xiao Xia, Shuqian and Shujun will rely on your care. How about you pick up this family in Yan City for me?"
