Chapter 253: In-depth conversation with Song Chaodu

"Not right, I met you early on, aren't you very good too?" Song Yifan blinked his eyes, looking very cute, "Don't you admit that you are an excellent man?"

It’s not that Xia couldn’t understand, but the world is changing rapidly. Why are it not only Cao Shuyan, Lian Ruohan, or even Song Yifan, all of them are smart and cunning women?

Xia Xiang touched his nose: "I'm not very good either, are you? You will definitely meet men who are much better than me in the future."

Song Yifan went upstairs with his hands on his back. She walked in front of Xia Xiang, with slender waist, hips and long legs, which was just as beautiful as a flower and jade. She had already shown the beauty and sharpness that a young girl should have. When Xia Xiang looked up, she saw the graceful curve between her slender waist and buttocks.

When the girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, her youthful aura has been revealed, and when the boy is fifteen or sixteen years old, it is the least conspicuous time of his life. So for Song Yifan, who has a high-sighted vision, and with her long-term stay with her father, she has some Oedipus complex, and it is normal for her to have a good impression of a more mature man.

Song Yifan, who was walking in front, said: "No one can guarantee the future of things, right?... You are behind, don't look around."

Xia Xiang was embarrassed. He was a 25-year-old man who was said to be a random look by a 15-year-old girl. He was inevitably a little dissatisfied: "Little sister, how old are you? Why are you so complicated? I have several girlfriends, all of whom are good-looking and beautiful. Usually, when I walk outside, I never look at other girls, do you know?"

Song Yifan smiled mischievously: "A man is harsh! Men are all greedy people. If they are poor, they will be safe. If they are rich, they will be full of wives and concubines. Don't be young and don't know? I know men best."

Xia Xiang sweated a lot. Girls are mature early now. Not only are they physically mature a lot, but they are even more terrible psychologically mature. He hurriedly found a lot of reasons to tell Song Yifan. Unexpectedly, Song Yifan stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Xia Xiang's eyes a few times: "I understand the great principles, but you don't need to tell them to me. Understanding is one thing, and whether you can do it is another thing."

Xia Xiang shook his head, and he found that he was increasingly unaware of Song Yifan.

Song Chaodu was reading a book at home.

As he came too many times, Xia Xiang was not too restrained in front of Song Chaodu. Song Chaodu did not politely to him and nodded and said, "Here I'm here, sit down."

Song Yifan came in with his eyebrows down and like a good girl. He poured tea for the two of them. Before leaving, he didn't forget to blink at Xia, meaning, am I pretending to be like?

Xia Xiang just smiled helplessly. Compared with Cao Shuyan and Lian Ruohan, the little girls nowadays are not only more open and bold, but also more daring to say and do things. If the 1970s generation is still a conservative and ruled generation, the 1980s generation is a rebellious generation, then when they are born in the 1990s, they are completely unscrupulous generation. However, whether it is rebellious or unscrupulous, they are actually hurting themselves in the end.

"Xiaofan said to go downstairs, but I actually think she is waiting for you... She didn't cause trouble for you, right?" Song Chaodu put down the book and took a sip of water.

"No, I feel that Xiaofan has grown up a lot and is sensible." Xia Xiang replied honestly. He also knew that he had grown up and understood a lot of things, but he also understood too many things that shouldn't be understood now.

Song Chaodu only mentioned Song Yifan and talked about his career again: "Old Shi finally nodded and wanted to come forward to speak for me. If everything goes well, I will become one of the eight vice governors of the provincial government by the end of the year. Although after losing the Standing Committee, I have been at the vice-provincial level, it is basically idle. This time, becoming the vice-governor is a small step forward."

This was the first time that Song Chaodu took the initiative to mention political matters to Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang heard a hint of helplessness and emotion from his words. Thinking of the later generations after Gao Chengsong fell, the capital concluded that it seriously hurt the feelings of the people of Yan Province. Now it seems that this sentence is really correct!

Xia Xiang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak up Governor Ma. Governor Ma is now a member of the Standing Committee and has the right to speak on major matters, but he has no right to decide. However, Governor Ma is also an old man who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and he will not easily say unprovoked words. He intends to make the Song Dynasty run the throne of the Minister of the Organization Department, and probably knows it.

"Minister Song is also a department of the provincial party committee. The Organization Department is more powerful. If Minister Song is the Minister of the Organization Department, and the title of Standing Committee is much more difficult than the Vice Governor's Meeting?"

Xia Xiang said carefully.

Song Chaodu was so confused that he held the tea for a while. He held it for a long time and held it in the air. He looked at Xia for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Xiao Xia, you are more courageous than me and dared to think more. If you don't go to the Standing Committee, you can operate it in the province, and the capital will not interfere. Once you go to the Standing Committee, you must pass the province and the capital. If you pass the capital, I think it's not a big problem, but the province will have a lot of opposition. At least Secretary Gao can't pass it."

Speaking of this, Xia Xiang asked: "Why did Secretary Gao have such a big prejudice against you?"

"This is probably because of a disagreement in character, or just a missed look!" Song Chaodu smiled helplessly, "Secretary Gao is proud of his tough background. As long as he doesn't like someone, he is either idle or makes things difficult. Fortunately, since he is wrong with him, he is far away from him and has not brought shame to himself. A provincial bureau director was overwhelmed by Secretary Gao. He heard that Secretary Gao was interested in touching him, so he hurried to find Secretary Gao to express his loyalty. The result was that the courtesy was good and the official was withdrawn. He almost got angry to death and finally got seriously ill."

Song Chaodu laughed a few times and said, "Xiao Xia, what you said just now is not an unintentional word, right? I know you have always spoken cautiously, have you heard any rumors?"

Thinking that Song Chaodu would have the opportunity to contact Ma Wanzheng in the future, what he played now is a bridge, and what Ma Wanzheng said at that time was definitely intentional. Xia Xiang did not hide it anymore and said directly: "You guessed it, Governor Ma asked me to tell you something..."

"Ma Wanzheng?" Song Chaodu was obviously surprised, "I haven't heard that you have any relationship and can date Governor Ma? Xiaoxia, what's going on? What does Governor Ma have to say?"

Song Chaodu finally showed a nervous and surprised expression in front of him. Xia thought, no one had the ability to remain as immovable as a mountain. It was just relative. When he really encountered major issues concerning his own interests, no one could not help but be moved.

"The relationship between a friend..." Xia Xiang did not say in detail, nor could he say in detail. He focused on Ma Wanzheng's words, "Governor Ma said that your vice governor of operations is a good thing, but his steps are still a little smaller, and he can actually be more courageous. He did not say it explicitly, but the most likely place in the province is the position of Minister of Organization Department."

"Well..." Song Chaodu pondered for a moment, obviously trying to digest the sudden and important information. After a while, he asked Xia Yao, "Do you know the origin of Governor Ma?"

Xia Xiang shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't paid much attention to him before."

"Governor Ma's hometown is marked by a native of the capital, but according to my observation, there is also the accent that occasionally appears in his speech. He should be a native of a certain place in Yan Province." Song Chaodu was indeed amazing, and even Ma Wanzheng's accent could be heard. Then he took out a piece of information from the drawer, looked a few times, and said, "Governor Ma has been in Yan Province for more than two years, and was transferred from the Western Province. He has been relatively low-key in the past two years and has no movement. This time, he suddenly became a member of the Standing Committee, which is very surprising. He also concealed his backstage in the capital city very deeply, just like Qian Jinsong, making people confused. Yan Province is a very strange place, with an underdeveloped economy and no remarkable political place, and has always been conservative, but the capital city likes to airborne officials to Yan Province. One is that Yan Province is close to the capital city, and the other is that Yan Province is easy to obtain qualifications."

"Since Governor Ma reminded me with kindness, of course I would like to express my gratitude." Song Chaodu didn't know what he figured out, and his face was full of smiles. "Of course I have to thank Xiao Xia for his important role. It can be said that since you met you, you have always been very helpful to me, which made me feel sorry for you."

Song Chaodu said this, one is to bring the relationship closer, and the other is to express his feelings. Xia Xiang hurriedly stood up: "Minister Song is polite. You are Secretary Li's best friend, and I am the one whom I brought it out with you. So to me, you are the elder I respect and trust the most, just like Secretary Li. I am the elder I respect and trust the most. It is nothing if I do some things."

Song Chaodu also stood up, came to Xia Xiang, shook hands with him: "Have together at noon, and chat."

At noon, Xia Xiang accompanied Song Chaodu to a restaurant outside for dinner. He had been to the Song family several times and found that Song Chaodu rarely went out for dinner. He usually read books at home. Today, he should be in a good mood. Even Song Yifan said, "It's great, it's better for Brother Xia to come. As soon as Brother Xia came, Dad would accompany me to dinner. Dad, don't you think it's been a long time since you've been with me to the restaurant?"

Song Dynasty smiled lovingly and did not speak.

Xia Xiang had no impression of what he had eaten. He only remembered that Song Chaodu had drunk a lot of wine and was slightly drunk. He had to send him home again. As soon as he got home, Song Chaodu went to take a nap, and only him and Song Yifan were left in the living room.

Sometimes the changes of girls seem to be overnight. In the past, Xia Xiang was holding her hands by Song Yifan but she didn't feel anything. Today, she held her hands again, and suddenly she felt that her little hands were wet, hot and soft, and she felt particularly comfortable. She felt a little strange in her heart. She wanted to let go, but she was pulled tightly by Song Yifan.

She asked him, "Is my hands beautiful, or is your girlfriend's beautiful?"

"Your beauty." Xia wanted to know that the little girl had no reason to say, so she had to make her happy.

"Is that my height, or your girlfriend's height?"

"You're a little taller."

"Then do you like me?"

"I like you, you are like my little sister. It just so happens that I only have one younger brother and no younger sister yet."

Xia Xiang didn't know how many questions and answers like this. Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "I still have to go back to An County, so I can't accompany you. I will come to see you again if I have time in the future. I'll see you again, okay Yifan?"

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Song Yifan was still very obedient. She sent Xia to the door. Seeing Xia wanting to go downstairs, she suddenly said with a smile, "I know what you said just now is a lie."

Xia Xiang was thinking along the way. Song Yifan knew that he was telling lies, but he still asked endlessly, and he listened with relish. He was so conscientious at a young age. It was really amazing. It seemed that he had to stay away from her in the future. With her current level, even Cao Shuqian and Wan Ruohan were not opponents when she grew up.

There was nothing to do on Monday. I had dinner with Li Dingshan in the evening and mentioned the matters between Governor Ma and Song Chaodu. After hearing this, Li Dingshan nodded and did not ask much, just said, "You have enough judgment now and do it according to your ideas. In the officialdom, it's enough to take care of major events, but basically it's a little bit every day, slowly accumulating your connections and network of relationships. In other words, in fact, personal abilities still account for a lot of weight."

Xia Xiang looked humbly and nodded. Fangge lowered his head and did not speak. He was unhappy and didn't know who he had an unhappy relationship with.

Xia Xiang didn't ask him either. It was probably because of Mei Xiaolin's affairs that the young man couldn't think about it for a while. Maybe he regarded unrequited love as a broken love.

Anxian in August has temporarily entered a period of calm.

The experts who came to Beijing to inspect minerals have returned to Beijing and have not yet reached a conclusion. Qiang Jianghai became much more honest. Although he often sarcastically sarcasticly sarcasticly, because Xia Xiang organized a free physical examination for primary school students in the county town and won unanimous praise from all parents because Qiu Xufeng was reluctant and had to publicly praise Xia Xiang to show his fairness as the county magistrate.

Mei Xiaolin also resisted her temper and no longer publicly attacked Li Chao. Instead, she devoted herself to studying the mineral materials in An County and had a rough conclusion in her mind. One day after get off work at noon, she called Xia Xiang and asked Xia Xiang to drive her to Danbao Township. There was a description on the information that was not very detailed, so she wanted to take a look on the spot.

Xia Xiang understood the work arrangements, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he agreed to Mei Xiaolin. Because he thought Mei Xiaolin was pretty good in nature and kept her word. Last time she said she wanted to find a food processing factory to buy apples, and later she really found one from Beijing. Although the price given was very low, the fruit farmers were very satisfied. No matter how low the price was, they had money to make, which was better than not being able to sell it.

Ouyang Tieyi was so happy that she burst into tears and said several times that she "unexpectedly". Of course, what he didn't expect was that the person who helped him was a man and a woman who met him last time.

Sitting in a Land Rover car, Mei Xiaolin said while wearing a seat belt: "Your car is better, you can drive on mountain roads. Even small cars in the county are not good. At most, they can drive to townships and even villages. Fortunately, I didn't drive the sports car at home... I drove the sports car at the grassroots level, and it was burning very hard."

Xia Xiang was in a good mood when she saw Mei Xiaolin, so she asked, "What's the good thing? It seems like Secretary Mei is very happy?"

"If you don't have good things, you can't be happy?" Mei Xiaolin said disapprovingly, "According to what you say, I have to be frowning every day? What logic! Don't say, I really have nothing good - Li Chaosheng's affairs have not made any progress for the time being. After the experts from the capital came, they said that the geological and mineral conditions in An County were a bit poor, and even if they were mined, the prospects were not very optimistic. I always think that the quartz sandstone content in An County is good and has great prospects. However, the experts' opinions say that the quartz sandstone content in An County is low, the mining cost is too high, and the market demand is small, which basically means denying the value of quartz sandstone..."

Xia Xiang felt mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

He didn't remember whether Anxian mined quartz sandstone in later generations, but quartz sand was mainly used as raw materials for the glass industry and ceramic industry. The amount of glass will become larger and larger in the future. Correspondingly, the demand for quartz sand will also increase. It can be said that quartz sand is not a bad prospect, but a bright future.

But when Uncle Cao said that he would propose to mine quartz sand when he could get political achievements, Xia Xiang didn't know whether to support Mei Xiaolin or persuade her to give up. From the perspective of truth, he should support her. But from the perspective of politics, he could only choose to remain silent.

It’s not that he insisted on waiting for the mining of quartz sandstone until he took power, but from the current situation in An County and the overall economic environment in the country, it is indeed a bit too early to mine now. But there is one thing he doesn’t understand. It’s not surprising that experts cannot see the market prospects. After all, they are just experts in geological and minerals, not economists, but they say that the content is a bit unexpected. Uncle Cao’s information shows that the content of quartz sand in An County is obviously not wrong. So since the experts invited by Mei Xiaolin are experts in Beijing, it is impossible to detect the content of quartz sand. But they say that the content is low, I’m afraid there will be a lot of things in it.

Sometimes experts do not speak entirely from an academic perspective, and they speak in a realistic way. Their words often depend on political needs and pockets. Although Xia Xiang is unwilling to guess the disgraceful role played by Qiang Jianghai, he is almost certain that the experts' words may be Qiang Jianghai doing something behind the scenes.

Based on his understanding of Qiang Jianghai, Qiang Jianghai is not a Li Chaosheng character. He is narrow-minded and not enough to take on important responsibilities. He must have obtained Qiu Xufeng's permission in advance for whatever he does.

In other words, this matter is Qiu Xufeng's masterpiece.

Although Xia wanted to know the relationship between Qiu Xufeng and Mei Xiaolin, he could only pretend not to know, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since the experts all disagree and secretary Mei is not a professional geology and mining industry. What else can I get when I conduct a field investigation?"
