Chapter 268 Key Person

After a while, Qin Tuofu said: "But Xiaoxia, this matter is not that simple. You have also secretly investigated for a while, but it has not been found that Li Chaosheng and Amway Company are involved, right? Li Chaosheng is very thoughtful and does nothing, and is a difficult person to deal with." Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I started from the grassroots discipline inspection department and have been wandering around the discipline inspection circle. What kind of people have never seen? What kind of powerful people have never dealt with? Unless a person does not do bad things, he will leave traces and will be discovered one day. This matter is a bit chewy. After that, I think about it carefully. If I don't believe it, I can't bite his hard bone!"

With Qin Tuofu's words, Xia Xiang was completely put in his stomach, and then he remembered a suspicious point, saying: "According to reliable sources, several shareholders of Amway Company also had hidden contacts, as if they were distant relatives of a person, but who this person was never found out."

Qin Tuofu was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed proudly: "It's far away in the sky, close to you. Based on my years of experience in handling cases, you have found this person, but you just don't know."

"You Li?" Xia Xiang suddenly realized, "Secretary Qin really woke up the dreamer with one word. Why did I never connect You Li and Amway Company? It's a mistake."

Qin Tuofu laughed: "I am not as good as you in playing cards, and I am not as good as you in design. But when it comes to solving cases and investigating people, you are not a little worse than me. I have been thinking about people every day. If you say you are not better than you, wouldn't it be in vain?"

If You Li is really a link between several shareholders of Amway Company, it can prove that Li Chaosheng has selfish intentions in the Seedling incident, and it is easier to find evidence of his corruption.

Qin Tuofu heard the footsteps outside, put away the materials and asked, "Who did Xiaoxia learn how to play cards? Is it good at it?"

Xia wanted to know what he meant to change the topic. He didn't spread the story about what he had just communicated privately, so he continued: "When I was in school, I was depressed for a while and didn't study hard. I played cards every day, and I was so dark that I didn't go downstairs for three days. That was during that period, my card skills rose sharply..."

Wang Pengfei and Guan Pingchao pushed the door in at the same time. Wang Pengfei smiled and said, "It seems that the chat is quite speculative, because I became friends with cards, and I have made a lot of contributions."

Qin Tuofu smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, you have to figure out one thing. Xiaoxia invites you to dinner, we play cards with you, you are a vested interest."

Guan Pingchao invited Xia Xiang: "How about you ask County Mayor Xia to have time to arrive at the Design Institute of Tacai Group?"

Xia Xianglian said he didn't dare to say that he knew that he was young and that he was not enough to convince the public. Second, he was indeed not able to have enough identities. People who know how to design might not be able to express what they think, so his refusal was also sincere. However, Guan Pingchao's invitation was also very sincere. He repeatedly proposed to sit with the designers and tell them about their ideas, which was also an academic exchange.

Seeing that Xia Xiang was still refusing, Wang Pengfei pretended to be angry and his face darkened: "Xiao Xia, listen to me, go! Why not? The projects you designed are now landmark buildings in Yan City. No matter what, your achievements are enough to make them look up to you."

"Since Secretary Wang said that, I'll just go." Xia Xiang stopped when he saw it, and agreed with a gritty bullet, which also gave Wang Pengfei face. "But I have something to say first, not to give lectures or do academic exchanges, and just treat it as an ordinary discussion."

"Okay, one word is certain." Guan Pingchao agreed quickly with a smile.

The last date is set for next Saturday.

Xia wanted to send Wang Pengfei back, but Guan Pingchao volunteered to send him away. Wang Pengfei also said that Xia Xiang didn't need Xia Xiang to go back on the way, so Xia Xiang didn't insist.

When I returned to Cao's family, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the study room was on. It was obvious that Cao Yongguo was not sleeping. Xia Xiang did not disturb him. He went upstairs and found that the painting room on the second floor was on. Since he first designed it with Cao Shuyan, he has made a room specially used as a painting room and kept it. Looking inside through the crack of the door, the little girl was concentrating on biting the pen tip and staring at the drawing board.

She is still drawing.

Xia wanted to know that she was too sleepy and was still drawing so late, so she felt a little sorry for her. She pushed the door open and held her in her arms, and said softly: "My little sleepy bug can stay up late, it's so amazing - but staying up late is not good, so it's better to take a break early."

Cao Shuqian gently hugged Xia Xiang, and pushed him away: "Be good, don't make trouble, I'm still thinking about a detail..." She smiled at Xia Xiang casually, with fatigue and tenderness in her smile, and a touch of soft love, "Or, please think about it for me?"

Xia Xiang hugged her in his arms again: "It is said that men are most mature when they are focused, but women are most charming when they are focused. Nick girl, you look really nice just now."

Cao Shugui's eyes became blurred, like water and mist, letting Xia Xiang hug her from behind, letting his unrestrained big hands swim around his body, and said, "Then do you think I am not good-looking?"

"It looks good. My girl looks good at all times. Even when she is asleep, she is as cute as a kitten." Xia Xiang praised her, and then stretched out her mouth and kissed her hard. "Sleep early, I will help you see if it's good if you have time tomorrow? Staying up late will not be good for your skin. If your skin is not good, you will lack elasticity. If you lack elasticity, my feel will be much worse."

"Bad guy!" Cao Shuyan heard the smell, giggled, struggled with Xia Xiang's claws, and ran aside, "I'll go to bed first. If there is nothing to do tomorrow, my father said, I'll discuss the engagement."

"Don't run away, let me kiss again, I didn't kiss enough just now..."

Cao Shuyan had already run downstairs quickly, leaving only Xia Xiang with a thoughtful back.

The next day, there was nothing wrong. After breakfast, Cao Yongguo took a look at talking. Except for Cao Shujun, the whole family was there, so he solemnly raised the engagement to Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang agreed without reason and happily: "I have said hello to my parents, and they are very happy. Just wait for Uncle Cao to set the date and they will come."

Seeing that Xia Xiang agreed happily, Cao Yongguo looked at Cao Shugui. Cao Shugui sat aside, a little shy and nervous. He still knew his daughter very well. She and Xia Xiang had been together for two years. When it was time to talk about marriage, they had expectations and uneasiness.

"Okay, the weather is still hot now, so don't let your parents mess with each other. The weather is cooler in a while, and then choose a good day." Cao Yongguo actually wanted to wait until he was confirmed to take office as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and settled this matter before taking office, which was also a matter of worry. Of course, he also had deeper considerations. Once he left, Xia Xiang was with his daughter and was a young man, so he would inevitably do something extraordinary. Since he couldn't be guarded, he got married to the two, and at least they had identities.

In the morning, I went out to watch movies with the little girl, and at noon, the two of them were having dinner outside together. Seeing her jumping and jumping, although she was good in shape and not low in size, Xia Xiang always felt like a child who never grew up, so she teased her: "The more I see you, the younger I think you will become my little wife in the future. It feels a bit incredible to think about it. Tell me, can you be my wife well?"

Cao Shuqi smiled and said, "I also feel a little unbelievable. Why are you going to marry you? Can you be my husband?" She wore a white skirt today. When she walked around, the corners of the skirt were flying and her white calves shining with the luster of youth. She came to a shade like an elf jumping in the sun, standing below, narrowing her eyes slightly, "I think you are a little bad, a little black, and a little worried. I don't want to marry you anymore."

Xia Xiang chased after her, grabbed her hand, and said very seriously: "Marry me, girl, okay? I can't promise to be nice to you all the time, but I promise that as long as I'm with you, I will treat you 100%!"

"Okay, then who are you with when you are not with me?" Cao Shuyan pouted and looked unhappy, "Bad guy!"

Xia Xiang hurriedly explained with a smile: "You're thinking wrong, girl, when I'm not with you, it means when I'm having a meeting, when I go to the bathroom, when I'm on a business trip..."

"Liar!" Cao Shuyan was amused by Xia Xiang, and the two of them went home hand in hand.

When Xia Xiang was at work on Monday, she realized that Mei Xiaolin had not come to work and was said to be sick.

Xia Xiang thought about it and felt that she needed to call to comfort her. After all, she was sent to the station by herself, but she didn't expect that the phone would be turned off after the phone was called.

Mei Xiaolin was ill for a week, and she only appeared in the county party committee compound on Friday afternoon, and her complexion was very bad. Out of concern, Xia Xiang took the initiative to go to her office to express condolences, and as soon as she met, she said, "Secretary Mei is finally back. Without your county party committee compound, it is really inferior."

"Stop talking." Mei Xiaolin said weakly, "I barely support myself to come back to work, and I am still weak. But there is no way. I am old and I always have a cold and fever when the season changes, and then I feel weak all over."

Although it was September, there was still some time before autumn. Xia Xiang couldn't ask too much, so he joked: "Your illness has nothing to do with me sending you to the station, right?"

"No, don't worry, I won't rely on you." She coughed twice and asked again, "Have things progressed? I didn't get anything after I went back. No one at home had anything to do with the Yan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, the people I sent out to investigate You Li secretly found an important clue - You Li's distant relative, who is a shareholder of Amway Company!"

Xia Xiang was happy. It seemed that Jiang was still old. Qin Tuofu's guess was correct. The relationship between Li Chaosheng and You Li was indeed complicated enough. Xia Xiang briefly mentioned the matter he had contacted Qin Tuofu in Yan City.

"This basically confirms that Li Chaosheng did commit favoritism and fraud in the seedling incident. You Li is a bond and a key figure. If she doesn't let go, we have no other way for the time being. We can only wait for Secretary Qin to investigate secretly to see if there is any result."

"How did the mining matter be investigated?"

"There is no news yet..." Xia Xiang thought for a while, "I'll call and ask."

Unexpectedly, after calling, Xiao Wu's phone turned off. It was probably because there was no signal in the deep mountains and forests, or it was inconvenient to turn off the phone. Anyway, Xia Xiang knew him, as long as he recognized something, he would definitely hand over an answer.

After saying a few more words, both of them agreed that with the current situation, they could only wait a little longer.

When Xia Xiang said goodbye and left, he reminded Mei Xiaolin to take care of her health.

A few days later, at a government executive meeting, Qiu Xufeng formally proposed Shanda's proposal on the resort. Xia Xiang naturally expressed his support. Several other deputy county magistrates also expressed their opinions that praising it was a great thing, because Li Dingshan had taken special care and Qiu Xufeng had no reason to object, and finally unanimously approved the project.

During the meeting, Shanda originally wanted to ask Xia Xiang to come to his office together, but Qiu Xufeng stopped Xia Xiang: "County Magistrate Xiaoxia, come to my office and let's have a good chat."

Xia Xiang was stunned. Qiu Xufeng's tone was very friendly, and he was still a negotiating tone. It seemed that he had something to ask for.

Qiu Xufeng's office was decorated with a serious smell, dark tones, leather sofa, and a pot of Clivia on the windowsill, which looked pretty pretty. As soon as Xia Xiang came in, Qiu Xufeng enthusiastically poured him a glass of water and handed it to his hands, and said enthusiastically: "The magistrate Xiaoxia has been in An County for several months. I am increasingly finding that you have outstanding abilities and good people. It should be said that you have a great future."

Xia Xiang suddenly heard Qiu Xufeng's passionate opening remarks, and felt nervous. As the saying goes, politeness must be something for others. It seems that he has something to ask for help.

"Mr. Qiu has been too proud. I have done my job and have not achieved any results." A humble attitude must be maintained, and a cautious attitude cannot be relaxed. "If you have any questions, please give me some instructions. As long as it is within my ability, I will do it well."

"Sit down, Xiaoxia, sit down and talk, don't stand." Qiu Xufeng pressed Xia Xiang on the sofa without saying anything, and then sat down next to him. His eyes fell on Xia Xiang's young face, but he felt uncomfortable.

Originally, when Xia Xiang first came, Qiu Xufeng had no good impression of him because he was from Li Dingshan. Before Li Dingshan came, Qiu Xufeng had studied Li Dingshan's resume and knew that he had defeated the executive deputy county magistrate in Ba County, and he could not raise his head. In addition, Qiu Xufeng failed to compete for the position of secretary, so he naturally had a resistant attitude towards Li Dingshan, and he also had a sense of precaution towards Xia Xiang.

After Xia Xiang came, he made some achievements, but the last fight broke down the director of the Health Bureau, Jin Changying. Although it seemed like an occasional incident, Xia Xiang ignited the fire and Li Dingshan set off fire. The two cooperated perfectly. While making him depressed, they had to accept the helpless fact that Xia Xiang was indeed Li Dingshan was going to break into the government team. Although it was in the way, he was helpless.

It is just because he is unreasonable at work, has outstanding abilities, has complex relationship networks, and is also very upright in his work, just like a person covered in armor, making people unable to find loopholes. Moreover, Xia Xiang is not impulsive because of his youth and is calm in the face of things. Qiang Jianghai provoked several times, not only did he not anger him and made him make mistakes, but he pushed back, making Qiang Jianghai lose face.

If it weren't for Xia Xiang being too close to Mei Xiaolin, Qiu Xufeng even had the idea of ​​showing goodwill to Xia Xiang and lure him to use it for his own purposes. Li Dingshan would leave sooner or later. After he left, Xia Xiang would make progress and if everything went smoothly in An County, he would have to cooperate with him. Otherwise, even if it was not difficult to move forward, he would not have tried to open up the situation.

But the interaction between Xia Xiang and Mei Xiaolin made Qiu Xufeng jealous and became very angry. Although he knew that the two might not have an affair and might have something else, no matter what, as a man, he did not allow others to have too close contact with his fiancée. Moreover, when he asked Mei Xiaolin, Mei Xiaolin responded with confidence, saying that he couldn't control it.

In a furious manner, Qiu Xufeng asked Yang Dehua to take back the tourism that Xia Xiang was in charge and wanted to pick peaches. Unexpectedly, he fell into Xia Xiang's plan again, and finally the peaches came to Li Dingshan. Although Qiu Xufeng was unwilling to accept it, he thought he had a backstage, but he was unwilling to open the conflicts with Li Dingshan. There will be conflicts and conflicts between the top leaders of the party and government in any local area. However, if the conflicts are too fierce and too public, it will leave a bad impression on the above, and it will be difficult to advance again.

What any superior leader needs is a subordinate who knows how to balance and a subordinate who knows how to lead the art, rather than a subordinate who does everything recklessly and always causes trouble. Qiu Xufeng is very clear about his own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that he is the princeling in the capital, giving people the illusion that he has a strong background and backstage. The disadvantage is that his foundation in Yan Province and even Yan City is unstable. Although the capital also has a certain strength, it is beyond reach. Besides, since he has become a county magistrate and still rely on his family in everything, he will be looked down upon and thinks that he will not have any future without any burden.

He originally thought that the cement plant project that wanted to make a big profit was sure to win, but there was no reason to pass it. Even Li Dingshan couldn't clearly object. Unexpectedly, not only was he firmly opposed by Mei Xiaolin, but Li Chaosheng also unexpectedly stood up and had a big fight with Qiang Jianghai. As a result, Li Dingshan took the opportunity to attack and suppressed it indefinitely, causing his wishful thinking to fail.

Qiu Xufeng was heartbroken.
