Chapter 321: Benefits determine friends

"There are exceptions in everything, right?" Qiu Xufeng seemed to be full of confidence in Xia Xiang being able to be a member of the Standing Committee. "An County itself is a special county, with three young cadres at the deputy department level and above. Since there has been a precedent, it is reasonable to have three deputy county magistrates being a member of the Standing Committee."

Li Dingshan is not optimistic: "The relevant policies have regulations on the proportion of Party committee leaders in the Standing Committee. I think this proposal cannot be passed in the city. The city will not allow three deputy county magistrates to be appointed as members of the Standing Committee in An County. Doing so will cause too much controversy and will easily take political risks. No one dares to joke about the political future."

Xia thought about it and still felt that Li Dingshan was considering it more comprehensively: "I think the city will not agree to it if the government team is assigned to another standing committee member, so I should not mention it."

Qiu Xufeng lowered his head and thought: "I will think of a way to see if this problem can be solved successfully. County Mayor Xia appointed a member of the Standing Committee to carry out his work better and will also benefit An County's economic construction."

What is rare is that Qiu Xufeng worked so hard, not only Li Dingshan, but even Mei Xiaolin looked at Xia Xiang with a questioning look. Xia Xiang shook his head quietly, meaning that he didn't know what was going on.

Mei Xiaolin thought of what was, and she suddenly said, "I have an idea, just to see if County Magistrate Qiu agrees?"

Qiu Xufeng is also taking a gamble now, otherwise he would not have tried his best to push Xia Xiang to take office. After hearing Mei Xiaolin's words, he immediately became interested: "Secretary Mei just said that if you can do it, I will make great efforts."

"If Jianghai is emphasized to other departments, the government team will lose one standing member. Xia Xiang can naturally be appointed as the Standing Committee member as the deputy county magistrate."

After hearing this, Li Dingshan looked at Qiu Xufeng, smiled and shook his head: "County Magistrate Qiang is the deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee. How could he be transferred to another department at will? Secretary Mei's proposal is not feasible."

Xia Xiangxiaoxiao: "Thank you all for worrying about my affairs. I will let you go about the matter of the Standing Committee for the time being. Maybe the city has other arrangements. We will discuss it for a long time. Maybe the city will reject it in one sentence... Let's talk about the next key points of work."

Finally, we reached an agreement that Li Dingshan was responsible for agriculture, reclaiming barren mountains, and was also responsible for the fruit tree legacy issues in Danbao Township. Qiu Xufeng was responsible for the transformation and sales of private mines, continued the idea of ​​mining to develop county, Mei Xiaolin carried out party life education, and assisted Li Dingshan's related work. Xia Xiang mainly supervised the expansion of Sanshi Scenic Area and the development of the resort...

After the division of labor was completed, it was almost a happy ending. Qiu Xufeng got up and was about to leave. Xia Xiang suddenly said, "Please wait a moment, County Magistrate Qiu, I want to discuss something with you."

Xia Xiang wants to repay his kindness.

"It's like this. The Qi Group of Yan City wants to come to An County for inspection. Their group mainly operates hotels. Our county party committee guesthouse is a bit outdated and you can consider contracting externally. It can not only recover a large amount of funds, but also give An County a hotel that can be taken advantage of. After all, An County is a tourist county, and it is unreasonable to have no decent hotel."

Xia Xiang finished speaking and quietly waited for Qiu Xufeng's reaction.

Qiu Xufeng thought for a moment, feeling relieved by Xia Xiang's show of kindness, and finally had a positive response. He smiled: "Good thing, County Magistrate Xia is indeed a wide network of contacts and has vision. I strongly support this matter."

"Okay, I will report the situation to Secretary Li to you in time for the progress of this matter."

"The specific business matters should be based on County Mayor Qiu. I won't get involved in this matter and I can't be busy. When I need to come forward, just say it." Li Dingshan said with a smile. He also understood that Xia Xiang was willing to give Qiu Xufeng a face. What he wanted to do most now was to open mountains and open fields, and he was too lazy to worry about other things.

After the meeting, each of them returned to the office, and Xia Xiang went directly to Mei Xiaolin to her office.

"Who is there to find me, Secretary Mei?" Xia Xiang asked teased.

"If you have nothing to do, you can't talk to you? Can't we talk about anything other than business?" Mei Xiaolin started and choked Xia Xiang for a few words.

Xia Xiang laughed: "Okay, let me listen."

"Do you know why Qiu Xufeng's attitude suddenly changed drastically and his posture was so low?" Mei Xiaolin asked in a pretentious manner.

"Of course I don't know." Xia Xiang knew what Mei Xiaolin looked like, and asked knowingly, "Do you know what inside information?"

Mei Xiaolin became proud: "That's...but although it can't be said to be any insider information, it's also rare insider news. Let me tell you, the Wu family has fooled the Qiu family!"

Xia Xiang was surprised. It was impossible for big families to play rogue tricks, right?

Mei Xiaolin was very satisfied with Xia Xiang's surprised expression. She said playfully: "Speak nicely and I will tell you the truth."

This... is a bit tricky, Xia Xiang smiled: "Actually, there is no need for me to know what happened. The mountains are high and the road is far away, and the capital is too far away. It's useless to know. I have something to do, so I'll go back first..."

Just a very simple trick to get, Mei Xiaolin was fooled and immediately said: "Stop, I will tell you an amazing event now - Wu Caijiang may come to Yan Province to be the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee!"

It was really a big thing that shocked people. Xia Xiang suddenly stopped: "Really and false? Also, who is Wu Caijiang?"

Mei Xiaolin was so angry: "Why don't you even know Wu Caijiang? He is the third brother of the Wu family, Lian Ruohan's uncle." He then reached out and pointed to the chair, "Sit down, I have something to say."

Xia Xiang had to sit down if he didn't sit down. He had to understand what was going on. Because if Wu Caijiang came to serve as the Minister of the Organization Department, what would Song Chaodu do? Song Chaodu has been operating the throne of the Minister of the Organization Department.

"I found out that the marriage matters and the use of Secretary Gao's affairs to you were all manipulated by Wu Caijiang. It can be said that he is the actual ruler of the Wu family now, and he usually does not need to disturb the old man's small matters." Mei Xiaolin tapped the table with her hand and made a deep thought, "How about it, if he comes to Yan Province, can you still have a good life?"

If it was really as Mei Xiaolin said, if Wu Caijiang really came to Yan Province to be the Minister of Organization Department, Song Chaodu's wish was disappointed, which would be very detrimental to him. At the same time, Wu Caijiang could not use Gao Chengsong to deal with him, and he would not have to deal with him personally? In this way, there would be no good days in the future.

Wait, it's not right. Since Mei Xiaolin could hear the news that Wu Caijiang was coming to Yan Province, Qiu Xufeng must know. If the Qiu family and the Wu family were interested in getting closer and wanted to form an alliance, Qiu Xufeng had such a big backstage in Yan Province, how could he show kindness to him in every way? There seems to be something wrong with the matter?

Yes, it was what Mei Xiaolin said just now that the Qiu family was fooled by the Wu family. Xia Xiang found the key point and asked, "Why did the Wu family fool the Qiu family?"

"I don't know very much in detail. I just heard that the Wu family's marriage was originally a cover to show sincerity and lure the Qiu family to take the bait. As a result, the Qiu family was really deceived. After the Wu family got the benefits, they never mentioned the marriage again, and it seemed that their attitude towards the Qiu family was not cold and warm." Mei Xiaolin did not have the attitude of gloating, but there was still a little joy between her eyebrows.

Wu Caijiang was a little too stingy. He was also playing such a cleverness among the big families, and he might not be too petty. Although Xia Xiang could guess that Wu Caijiang knew Lian Ruohan's temper very well and knew about the marriage. No one could touch her, but he still wanted to raise it, so he was suspected of deliberately deceiving the Qiu family.

Even if the Qiu family understood the matter later and swallowed the anger for the time being, they would not be sure of when they would return it in the future. Wu Caijiang's move was not beautiful enough and was inappropriate. The Qiu family was not a little shrimp, so they could let the Wu family play as a monkey.

No wonder Qiu Xufeng suddenly put his posture so low. It turns out that the root cause is here. Xia Xiang suddenly realized that Qiu Xufeng's attitude expressed the strong distrust of the Qiu family in Wu Caijiang. He chose to cooperate with him, one for political achievements and the other for more strength. He may even have thought of a way out of retreat. If Wu Caijiang comes to Yan Province, the Qiu family will not have any benefits, or will be suppressed by Wu Caijiang, the Qiu family will not sit still.

Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile helplessly. At that time, maybe the Qiu family would still intend to unite with him and deal with Wu Caijiang together. As expected, just saying that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When the interests are the same, the former opponent may also become partners.

I have to say that Mei Xiaolin’s news was very timely and useful. Xia Xiang said sincerely: “Thank you for the news, it’s very effective. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

"I'll be spared after eating, and I've defeated Li Chaosheng. Now your relationship with Qiu Xufeng has entered the honeymoon period. Next, you should do something practical wholeheartedly and benefit the people." Mei Xiaolin said with emotion, "The people are very hard. How much money do they earn after working hard all year round? As long as there is a corrupt official, their years of hard work can be wasted. I feel uncomfortable when I think about it."

Xia wanted to understand Mei Xiaolin's feelings, and he also empathized with it. When he was a child, his family was very poor. His mother took him to the countryside until he was a teenager and had the opportunity to enter the city. He also experienced how hard it was for farmers. Therefore, he moved forward in the incident of Li Chaosheng and was determined to bring him down. As for the later discovering Xu Dequan behind because of Li Chaosheng, and Xu Dequan was Gao Chengsong's man, it was all unexpected joy to follow the clues, not the original intention.
