Chapter 355 The new director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department

Xia Xiang put down the phone and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The performances back then seemed to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Mayor Hu still has a good attitude towards me. It can be seen that he is really a competent Piao Tianwen. Hu Zengzhou also knows a little about it. Not to mention anything else, he was suddenly released safely after being detained last time, which can trigger many conjectures from those who are interested.

Li Chaosheng made a verdict before the New Year, and Xu Dequan's problem will definitely be solved after the New Year. There will be Wang Dechuan and Wu Peiyong. There will be no news before the New Year, and it is impossible to solve many legacy problems at once. Moreover, there will be room for activities for many people during the New Year.

All work in An County has also come to an end. Xia Xiang presided over a discussion on an investment merchant, inviting Chen Lichun, the head of Shanshui Company, Qi Yanan and Chu Zigao to gather together to talk about the prospects for next year. Everyone was full of expectations for the prospects for next year, believing that An County's development has entered an unprecedented rapid period and that the output value may double next year.

After attending a Standing Committee meeting and a government executive meeting, it was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. Although there was no formal holiday yet, some staff members from other places had already started to set off home. Xia Xiang was close to him, and this year he agreed not to go back to Dancheng for the New Year, but instead asked Xia An to drive his parents to Yan City, so he was not in a hurry to pack up and return to Yan City.

After talking to Lian Ruohan on the phone, my promise to her was to try to visit her in the United States next spring. Lian Ruohan was happy and said, "This is almost the same. If you are heartless, I will make you have a bad New Year."

"What bad idea did you think of again?" Xia Xiang laughed.

"I called your parents and said I was pregnant with your child, let's see how your parents deal with you!"

Unexpectedly, Lian Ruohan’s bad idea was quite bad, Xia Xiang had to beg for mercy: “Stop messing around, haven’t I agreed to go over and see you? If you dare to tell them, I don’t want you anymore. Besides, you are not pregnant, aren’t you intentionally harming people?”

Lian Ruohan laughed again before hanging up the phone.

Then he spoke to Cao Shuyan again and heard that Uncle Cao would not come back until New Year's Eve. Aunt Wang asked her to buy some New Year's goods. The little girl said reluctantly: "What's the best thing to buy during the New Year? Why do I think I don't need to buy anything? My mother also repeatedly told me to buy this and that, where can I put it? Really."

The younger generation and the previous generation have very different attitudes towards the New Year. Nowadays, young people have never lacked food or clothing since childhood. They have not experienced the urgent mood of having good food, good clothes and good use during the New Year during the poor era, and they cannot understand the enthusiasm of the older generation to purchase New Year’s goods.

Xia Xiang smiled and comforted the little girl, and she was only happy until she promised him to be her coolie, responsible for driving for her for free and working as a porter for free.

Then he thought about it and called Xiao Jia again.

Xiao Jia was busy choosing a company location before the New Year. When she received a call from Xia Xiang, she was extremely happy. She was a little tricky and a little willful. She asked Xia Xiang to come to Beijing to see her before the New Year. She chose several company addresses and wanted Xia Xiang to finalize it. Xia Xiangyan also felt that she should visit Xiao Jia, so she agreed immediately.

Xiao Jia cheered happily.

As soon as she put down the phone, Mei Xiaolin knocked on the door and came in.

Mei Xiaolin seemed to have dressed up deliberately today, with a little powder on her face and a slightly blush, which made her face much more vivid. No wonder women like to put on makeup, and makeup really has magical power.

Mei Xiaolin wanted to speak but stopped, sat on the sofa, and after a while, she asked hesitantly: "Can you do me a favor?"

Xia Xiang saw her hesitating and nervous, and said in confusion: "Speaking hesitantly doesn't look like your style. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I've been back to the capital in the past two days. Can you send me a trip?" Mei Xiaolin looked at Xia Xiang's eyes and said a little unconfidently, "If you have something to do, there's no need to worry."

Xia Xiang was very curious: "It's nothing to send you a trip, and the capital is not far from Yan City. But the key to the problem is that you must not just ask me to send you a trip, but there is another purpose behind it. Let's listen?"

"What does it mean to have a purpose? It sounds so ugly, as if I am planning to you. Don't think about it, what are you going to do to be plotted against by me?" Mei Xiaolin said unhappily, and thought about Xia for a moment before he reluctantly told the truth. "Tell me the truth, my uncle, Mei Shengping, has been urging me to get married endlessly. I was so annoyed by him. I told him that I have a boyfriend, and he doesn't believe me, so I will let you do it for me..."

Xia Xiang was shocked: "Let me pretend to be your boyfriend? Please, the method is too old, uncreative, and it is not feasible, because I have been engaged, don't harm me, okay?"

Mei Xiaolin was stunned and then laughed: "It's really a shameless thing. Look, it scares you, as if you are so popular? Even if I find someone to pretend to be my boyfriend, I won't look for you. Your face is too tender, and my uncle likes mature and generous." After she laughed, she saw that Xia Xiang was still serious and explained, "I want you to prove me. You just say that I have had a few boyfriends, but they are not suitable. Maybe my personality is quite unique and most men don't like it. It's best to convince my uncle that he will stop forcing me to get married, and I will be free in the future."

Xia Xiang couldn't help scratching her head a little.

Mei Xiaolin's idea was a bit whimsical. She was not familiar with Mei Shengping, so how could she convince him as soon as she met? Besides, Mei Shengping was born in a big family, so how could she be persuaded so easily? Besides, whether Mei Xiaolin was married or not was a contest between her and her family. If she got involved, it seemed a bit unnecessary. Maybe she would even get annoying, which was not a good thing.

Xia wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xiaolin made him hesitate again: "Actually, it's not that you have to convince my uncle. I just want you to get to know him in advance, because after the New Year he will come to Yan Province to serve as the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee!"

"It's already settled?" Xia Xiang was shocked, so quickly? There was no news from Yan Province yet, and it turned out that the capital had settled.

I thought to myself that Song Chaodu had no choice, and he was not as strong as the big family. He had to settle for the second best and chose to be the vice governor.

"Well, the boss has nodded, there will be no change." Mei Xiaolin trusted Xia Xiang and had no intention of hiding it at all. "Originally, the boss gave him the answer that might be difficult, because he was preparing to promote it on the spot in Yan Province, but suddenly the boss directly gave the correct letter. I don't know what happened. In short, he was very happy and satisfied."

Xia Yao understood that it was Song Chaodu who gave up on his own initiative. He still followed Mr. Shi’s advice and wanted to be the vice governor.

It’s better to be a deputy governor, with the ability of the Song Dynasty, you should be able to successfully go from deputy to chief, and then go to the provincial party secretary and soar into the sky.

"Okay, I'll send you to the capital, but I have something to say first. I can only say a few personal questions as tactfully as possible. If Uncle Mei is unhappy, I will shut up in time and will not mention it again." Xia Xiang reminded Mei Xiaolin first, "It is not appropriate to make me worry about your marriage. If I raise it to your uncle, it will easily cause misunderstandings."

"Don't be self-indulgent. I won't fall in love with you. What kind of misunderstanding will there be?" Mei Xiaolin still said unforgivable and accused Xia Xiang, "I haven't had time to implement the idea of ​​adopting a child that you helped me last time. You have to find a way to help me give it to my uncle in advance so that he can know it."

Xia Xiang looked helpless: "You...I don't owe you all this, right?"

Mei Xiaolin ignored Xia Xiang and turned around and left: "Please ask for leave for your family first to avoid being scolded. I may leave at any time, remember to be on call."

Half a day after Mei Xiaolin left, Xia Xiang remembered that the cup of good tea she had just made had not yet drunk. When she saw that it was cold, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile. Mei Xiaolin really acted as she pleased, and she remembered that it was one after another. However, it was a rare opportunity to have a contact with the soon-to-be-received director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and she became much more psychologically balanced.

Just when Xia Xiang thought about how to cover up Mei Xiaolin, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

In the evening, he called Cao Shunei and said that he might have to go to the capital and do something. Cao Shunei didn't ask him what he did after hearing this, but just told him that she wanted his parents to come sooner, and there was nothing to do before the New Year, so she wanted to accompany them to Yan City for more.

Xia thought about it, it was Cao Shuyan alone at home now. Cao Shujun recently found a girlfriend and was not home every day. Uncle Cao and the others couldn't come back for the time being. She was also very bored by herself, so she agreed to her and said that he was going back and calling the house to talk.

Xia Xiang called his home again and discussed it. Xia Tiancheng said that Xia An would be on holiday tomorrow and would be able to arrive in Yan City the day after tomorrow. Xia Xiang was happy, so he explained the precautions for a few days, and then told Cao Shugui about the situation, which made Cao Shugui scream happily.

It was already evening when Xia Xiang was about to find Shanda to have dinner together when suddenly Qiu Xufeng pushed the door open and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Xia, haven't you gone to have dinner yet? Let's go together?"

County Magistrate Qiu took the initiative to invite him, but Xia Xiang couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

The two of them walked and said, and then they arrived at Changshan Restaurant. When Xiao He saw County Magistrate Xia accompanying County Magistrate Qiu, he hurriedly came out and arranged for the two to take their seats in person. Xia wanted to know that Qiu Xufeng had something to talk about, but was unwilling to let Xiao He serve them, so he said, "Uncle Xiao is here to do it. County Magistrate Qiu and I are not outsiders, so don't worry about us."

After Xiao He left, Qiu Xufeng did not take a turn and said directly: "Mei Shengping is coming to Yan Province to be the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. County Mayor Xia should have known the news, but you may not be very clear about Mei Shengping's character."

Xia Xiang also knew that Qiu Xufeng must have another purpose, so he said: "County Magistrate Qiu has dealt with the Mei family and must know what kind of person he is. You might as well tell me."

Qiu Xufeng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "We are working together smoothly now. I will say something, County Magistrate Xia, don't misunderstand it. I am not prejudice against the Mei family, nor because I have had any entanglements with Mei Xiaolin before, but I want to tell you a real Mei Shengping in a realistic way."

Although Qiu Xufeng has not disclosed any relationship between him and Mei Xiaolin to Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang can think of it. I believe Qiu Xufeng also knew in his heart that he knew that he had an engagement with Mei Xiaolin and the grudge between the Mei family and the Qiu family. Therefore, although Qiu Xufeng's words were obscure, everyone knew what he was referring to.

Xia Xiang nodded. No matter what purpose Qiu Xufeng was for, it would not be a bad thing to be able to understand Mei Shengping's character from the side.

"Mei Shengping is the second child of the Mei family. He has been domineering since childhood and is a famous princeling in the capital. In his early years, he once made a person disabled in order to compete with others. This incident caused a sensation in the capital and also made Mei Shengping famous. Everyone called him behind his back: No level - because his jealous woman is a prostitute!"

Xia Xiang was drinking tea and almost spit out a sip of tea. He opened his mouth in surprise, and the shock in his heart was indescribable - the princelings of a big family fought with others for a prostitute, which was too disgraceful.

Qiu Xufeng smiled with satisfaction, obviously agreeing with Xia Xiang's shock: "I felt incredible when I heard it at that time, and I also heard that the prostitute didn't love him, and the man she loved was just a shoemaker. This incident was circulating among several major families in the capital at that time. Mei Shengping almost lost her face, which made the Mei family's old man beat and scolded him. Finally, he was locked up for half a month before he released it. Mei Shengping was 20 years old at that time."

Qiu Xufeng smiled, and clinked a glass with Xia Xiang, drank the wine in the glass, shook his head with a self-deprecating voice, and said, "Although I was ridiculous when I was young, it was still much worse than Mei Shengping. If what he did when he was 20 years old could be covered up with youthful recklessness, then when he was 30 years old, he made another shocking embarrassing thing in the capital..."

Xia Xiang asked with interest: "What's the matter?" He had to cooperate with Qiu Xufeng and let County Magistrate Qiu feel his curiosity, otherwise he would seem too insincere.

Qiu Xufeng waited for Xia Xiang to ask questions, and when Xia Xiang asked, he said happily again: "At the age of 30, Mei Shengping was already in charge and was the director of a department of the Ministry of Agriculture. Once, when he was halfway through the inspection, he suddenly turned around and left without saying hello, and threw the leader aside on the spot. The leader was furious and demanded that Mei Shengping's arrogant behavior be dealt with seriously. After a while, Mei Shengping returned and heard the accusations of him, he refuted the leader in front of many people, saying that he had diarrhea and was in a hurry to go to the toilet. It was a disrespect for the leader, so he left without saying a word, and it was also a manifestation of respecting the leader..."

Halfway through, Qiu Xufeng couldn't help but laughed, and said, "Mei Shengping is really hard to figure out. He said he respects the leader, but he didn't even say anything, so he turned around and left. He said that he didn't respect the leader, and he was justified in going to the toilet. It seemed that the leader was wrong, not him. If it were this, it wouldn't show his uniqueness..."

Xia Xiangxiao didn't say anything, and made a look of listening attentively, Qiu Xufeng continued to speak.

"When the leader saw that he was serious, he was also angry because he was from the Mei family, and he stopped mentioning this matter for the time being. Unexpectedly, after a while, when the leader was about to start speaking, Mei Shengping stood behind the leader, suddenly took a step forward, leaned into the leader's ear and said something, which immediately caused the leader's face to change drastically, and he cursed at him: Get out! Because he was on the microphone at that time, everyone heard the leader's roar and looked at each other, not knowing what happened..."

Xia Xiang was a little unbelievable. After all, Mei Shengping was a serious princeling. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew the right way to do things on the scene. How could he let the leader get out of Taiwan on the spot? Even if he was a superior, he would not be able to survive in the officialdom. Mei Shengping did a little too much unless he was really a ignorant person.

What did he say to his leader again? Xia Xiang was still very curious about how Mei Shengping angered his immediate boss, so he asked: "What did he say?"

Qiu Xufeng shook his head: "There are many versions that have been circulated. Some people say that Mei Shengping said, 'Leader, I want to go to the toilet again, please approve the leader'. Some people say that Mei Shengping was deliberately making trouble. He said to the leader, 'Report to the leader, I want to fart, please give instructions'. There is even a version that is even more ridiculous, saying, 'Leader, you just released the fart? It's so stinky!'..."

"Haha!" Xia Xiang laughed happily. Mei Shengping is really a living treasure. He is either 25 years old or deliberately embarrassing people and causing trouble to the leader.

Qiu Xufeng also laughed, and after laughing, he shook his head and said, "Because of this incident, Mei Shengping stayed at the department level for five years but had not been promoted. Everyone thinks he is a typical bastard princeling. No one is optimistic about his prospects and thinks that he is not suitable for the officialdom, and the most suitable thing is the shopping mall. Even if he goes to business, he is still cheating, because no one thinks he has any real skills."
