Chapter 384 Who is the Yellow Bird

Facts have also proved that in the instructions of Shanshuilu funds, Fan Ruiheng had a negative and objection attitude, which led to the funds being stuck for a while. Moreover, he also heard rumors that Tan Long and Fan Ruiheng were always approaching, and in the province, Fan Ruiheng also had the same views as Cui Xiang. In other words, Governor Fan really had a bad impression of himself. Even if he did not deliberately suppress him like Cui Xiang, he would have a supportive and supportive attitude towards things that were not conducive to him.

So, where did Governor Fan perform today?

Xia wanted to take the brocade box, but she felt that it was light and had no weight. It was probably not a valuable gift. But the governor asked the secretary to give the gift in person. Even if it was a feather, the gift was light and had a heavy meaning. Just like the wine man's intention was not wine, the governor's gift was not in the gift itself, but in addition to the gift, at the wedding. What kind of message was conveyed?

Everyone was shocked for a moment, unable to understand why Governor Fan did this, and what intriguing hints were there? There is no trivial matter in the officialdom, let alone the governor's secretary who came in person and came with the governor himself, which was not much less than that!

Even Song Chaodu was not sure what Fan Ruiheng meant, was he trying to win over Xia Xiang? Or did he take the opportunity to hint to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee that he knew the movements of everyone here? Or was Governor Fan just a whim and wanted to send a secretary to see who was here to attend Xia Xiang's wedding?

With the Song Dynasty's understanding of Fan Ruiheng, Fan Ruiheng would not do the boring thing of sending people to see who will attend the wedding. As a provincial leader, he did not even have the confidence to control his subordinates, which was also a sign of incompetence. Fan Ruiheng's move may have given Xia Xiang face and confusion about others' unlimited associations.

The confusion lies in the brocade box he sent. Xia Xiang would definitely not be ignorant to open the brocade box on the spot and see what gift the governor gave. It is precisely because it is not opened that everyone is curious about what the brocade box contains and wants to borrow the gift in the box to judge Governor Fan’s real intention. Xia Xiang is not stupid, knowing what to say and what not to say. The more people don’t say it, the greater the suspicion. The more people suspect, the more they can set up a suspicion array, making people unable to touch their minds.

Governor Fan is not simple either, he is very beautiful.

Xia Xiang was different from Song Chaodu's thoughts. He intuitively believed that Fan Ruiheng's move was probably a fake shot, and was for Cui Xiang and Ye Shisheng to see it, so that they could not understand Governor Fan's true attitude towards him.

No matter what, no matter how suspicious he was, he was confused, but Xia Xiang took the box very respectfully and said politely: "Thank you Governor Fan, thank you Secretary Zhang..." Without further ado, just click.

Zhang Zhibin smiled and reached out to pat Xia Xiang on the shoulder intimately: "Don't be polite, Governor Fan said that if Xiao Xia was polite, there would be no need to give him a gift, haha."

Another hint with unknown meaning, Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the complicated and questioning gazes of the people around him, thinking that he couldn't block Zhang Zhibin's mouth and prevent him from speaking, right? He had to say politely again: "Did Secretary Zhang have a meal? I'll ask the hotel to serve you again, and I'll have a drink with you for a few more drinks later. Thank you."

Zhang Zhibin waved his hand and said generously: "No, I should do my job for the leader, and I must go back and hand in the office as soon as possible. In a hurry, I did not prepare any gifts for you. I wish you a bright future and a happy family."

A bright future?

In this way, Governor Fan’s great secret Astronomy will never give up until he has a nail!

Although Xia Xiang believed that whether it was Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu, Chen Feng, Hu Zengzhou and others, they had enough political judgment and could guess Fan Ruiheng’s true intentions, there were still many people who were not close enough to them and did not have a deep understanding of them, they would doubt their positions and would become suspicious of themselves because of this.

If this is the case, Fan Ruiheng's real goal will be achieved.

After seeing off Zhang Zhibin, Xia Xiang threw helpless eyes at Ma Wanzheng and Song Chaodu. The two shook their heads and smiled at Xia Xiang, and waved their hands gently. Xia Xiang knew that they were telling themselves not to worry, and they would do whatever they should do.

He smiled apologetically to Chen Feng and others. Chen Feng stood up, came to Xia Xiang's side, and whispered: "I just realized that Yan Sheng is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Governor Fan's acting level is even higher than mine. He doesn't have to take action personally, but he can achieve the effect that I can work hard for a long time."

Xia Xiang laughed, and Chen Feng said something to him as a reassurance. At least he knew that among the few people who were closest to him, they would not believe that they would turn to Fan Ruiheng.

If Xia Xiang is so shallow, it wouldn't be Xia Xiang.

The brocade box was handed over to the square for storage, and there was an exquisite lock on it. Although the square was curious, she did not dare to open it in front of others.

Basically, the wedding was held very smoothly. When the song ended and everyone parted, suddenly a noisy footsteps came, and a tall soldier ran downstairs. He came to Xia Xiang, saluted a military salute with a "splash" and asked, "Are you Comrade Xia Xiang?"

Xia Xiang wondered, how could a soldier appear if he never knew people in the army? He nodded slightly and said, "I am, what's the point?"

The soldier pointed his hand downstairs and replied, "After the order of the chief, I will give you a gift, please check it."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Xiang to make any statement, he turned around and went downstairs, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Xia Xiang was shocked, which leader? Why did an unexpected character send a mysterious gift today?

At this time, basically all the people who had a little farther relationship had left, and those who were left were close-knit people. Chen Feng was very interested: "Let's go, see what's strange."

Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu, Mei Shengping, Hu Zengzhou, Wang Pengfei, Fang Jinjiang and others followed closely and went downstairs one after another.

In the hall on the first floor, there was a watery cabbage in the middle. On the cabbage, there was clearly a grasshopper crawling on it, and even a cicada sang loudly. Behind the cicada, a mantis raised his forearm and was about to capture the cicada in one fell swoop to serve as its delicacy. But behind the cockroach, there was a smug bird tilting his neck, looking at everything in front of him, and his eyes showed confidence in everything being in control.

The highlight of the entire sculpture lies in the bird because its expression is the most realistic and fullest, especially its despised eyes, which are lifelike, making people unable to help but swear.

Ma Wanzheng was quite knowledgeable about jade and screamed: "What a big deal. This is the best Shoushan stone. It is not only valuable but also has such a good quality. But if you choose one in a million, you may not be able to buy it if you have money. Xiaoxia, who appreciates you so much and is so scary to take action?"

Xia Xiang smiled helplessly and spread his hands: "If I knew, I wouldn't be like this now. This is a bit weird, I never knew people from the military."

Since Mei Shengping came, he has been silent and suddenly said: "If you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. Xiaoxia, you must be careful."

"Since the gift has been delivered, it is also a disrespect to the gift-giving person." Song Chaodu also interrupted, "If you accept it, let's talk about it... The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Although the Shoushan Stone is precious, the meaning of this carving is the most interesting place. Guess who is the cockroach and who is the oriole?"

In fact, everyone thought of this just now, and after listening to Song Chaodu's analysis, they felt that there was something wrong. Gifts are so expensive, and they are allusions of carved mantis stalking cicadas. They are much more straightforward than the brocade box given by Governor Fan.

The gift-giving person is almost equivalent to telling everyone on the spot that it doesn’t matter who is a cicada and a cockroach. What’s important is that he is the biggest winner hiding behind the scenes - the Yellow Bird.

Who in Yan Province has a deep military background? Everyone is in deep thought. Don’t think that everyone knows that since you can take such a valuable gift, the person who comes must be of great origin. He is also in the military and must be a high-level manager. However, the military region of Yan Province is not a large military region across the country, so the military of Yan Province has little influence in the province.

Of course, Yan Province also has very famous missile troops, but they are not stationed in Yan City because of their special nature, but they travel through the mountains all year round... Everyone thought about it over and over again, but still had no clue.

Xia Xiang shook his head: "Since the gifts are all delivered, another well-known person has come, and I really don't know who the master is... Forget it, good things cannot be wasted, so I will carry them home first."

Everyone laughed, Chen Feng reached out and touched it a few times, and said, "Xiao Xia, next time I see the owner of the gift, remember to reach out to him to ask for a playful Shoushan Stone to give it to me."

Secretary Chen said, Xia took it for granted: "But there are two major problems. One is that the master does not show up. I really don't know who he is. The other is that if I ask him for it after he shows up, he will not give it to him. Secretary Chen, don't blame me for not being too impressed."

"You don't blame you for not being too impressed, you have to blame you for not being too impressed." Chen Feng smiled.

In the evening, Cao Yongguo was the host and invited his friends to have a family dinner together. At this time, there were fewer provincial and municipal leaders present.

Ma Wanzheng and Song Chaodu stayed, Mei Shengping and Gao Jinzhou left. Chen Feng naturally refused to leave, Hu Zengzhou left in advance, Wang Pengfei hesitated for a while, and he also stayed. Needless to say, Fang Jinjiang had no intention of leaving at all. Not to mention Li Dingshan and Gao Hai, they would definitely be there.

Li Dingshan said that he had never had a serious meal with Cao Yongguo. Today, on the day of Xia Xiang's happy life, he became slightly drunk at noon and even let go of it at night. After drinking a few more cups, he almost felt seven or eight drunken, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"It's really good that Xiaoxia has come to this day step by step. I am very happy. When we first arrived in Ba County, I felt a sense of desolation of being exiled. Unexpectedly, the risky step that year was really the right one. Today, I took this opportunity to say solemnly to Xiaoxia, thank you, Xiaoxia. If you hadn't been urging me to go into politics back then, I wouldn't have been today!"

Li Dingshan stood up, shook his body slightly, Gao Hai hurriedly helped him and whispered: "Dingshan, you have drunk too much, talk less."

Li Dingshan waved his hand: "I've drunk too much, but I'm very clear-headed. I've been in my heart for a few years. If I don't say it today, I'm afraid I won't find such a good opportunity again. Please allow me to keep the reserve of a scholar when I'm awake!"

Gao Hai shut up. He didn't want Li Dingshan to lose his composure. After all, in front of two deputy governors and one municipal party secretary, he was afraid of leaving them any bad impressions. However, after years of interaction, he also knew Li Dingshan's temper and had a kind of tenacious stubbornness in his casualness.

Li Dingshan continued.

"You may not know that when I was determined to do business, I failed and suffered a lot, so I wanted to get up from the place where I fell, and I didn't listen to anyone. At that time, Chaodu advised me to go into politics, but I didn't listen. I thought it was too shameful to leave after throwing a mess. And I also thought that my LCD large-screen project had great prospects and would definitely succeed. That is, when I was ambitious and thought I could achieve great success, Xiao Xia tactfully suggested to me that the market for LCD screens was worrying..."

Although Li Dingshan's eyes are confused and his drunkenness is revealed when he speaks, everyone knows that people in the officialdom are good at disguising themselves. They usually bury themselves deeply under the mask and never reveal their truest side. Because the truest self is the weakest self. Whoever exposes their true and weak side to outsiders is equivalent to letting others grasp their shortcomings.

Everyone was shocked. If Li Dingshan had not been deeply grateful to Xia Xiang, he would never have taken the opportunity to say what he said.

"At first, I didn't agree with Xiao Xia's opinion. I thought he was too young, so how could he have a long-term vision? But he was not impatient and analyzed the market prospects for me bit by bit. At the same time, he combined various unfavorable factors in reality, which made me gradually change my view, slowly accepted the reality of failure, and finally made up my mind to live a more exciting life in another way. Chaodu was still urging me to enter politics, so I went to Ba County with Xiao Xia and began to take the first difficult step!"

Everyone, including Ma Wan, looked at Xia Xiang in shock.

Xia Xiang didn't expect that Li Dingshan would tell everyone about his past events when he was drunk, and he felt very moved. In a blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, and Li Dingshan is no longer the enthusiastic media person and manager of the past, but now the steady and mature member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. He has matured a lot, experienced a lot, and changed a lot, but what has not changed is the literary integrity and character in his bones.

That's why today I was drinking to express my thoughts.

Xia Xiangyao advised him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. He also knew that Li Dingshan had been holding some words in his heart for a long time, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't let him say them.

"Whether in Ba County or An County, whether I have achieved political achievements or gaining the upper hand in the struggle with political enemies, there are more than half of Xiao Xia's contributions. It can even be said that Xiao Xia is helping me with advice, so that I can overcome difficulties step by step and reach today..." Li Dingshan reached out and patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder, "Come on, Xiao Xia, I'll give you a cup!"

Xia Xiang has always been standing beside Li Dingshan, with a very respectful attitude. He knew that the more this time, the less proud he could be. In front of these old officialdoms that had been rising and falling in the officialdom for decades, he must always maintain a humble attitude. Li Dingshan is his business to smug himself. If he is content with others' high esteem, it is his impetuousness.

Xia Xiang raised the wine in his glass, drank it all, and said, "Secretary General Li, you really said too many drunken words. I won't say it anymore, come on, I will do it first. In the past, my actions were everything a subordinate should do. You thought I was a friend and didn't think I was a subordinate, so you felt that I had done something. In fact, there was nothing, it was all my duty."

Ma Wanzheng looked at Xia Xiang deeply and breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that Xia Xiang had always kept the secret between him and Feng Xuguang for him. For such a long time, no news has ever been heard. Needless to say, Xia Xiang's character is absolutely reliable.

Thinking of everything Li Dingshan said in person just now, I realized that so many incredible things happened at the beginning. It was better to say that Li Dingshan was the leader of Xia Xiang's officialdom, it would be better to say that it was because of Xia Xiang's handling of his life that Li Dingshan is today.

In fact, it can even be said that it was Xia Xiang who created Li Dingshan today behind the scenes.

Ma Wanzheng was shocked.

He always thought that Xia wanted to take advantage of the situation, first borrowed Li Dingshan, then borrowed Chen Feng, and now it was Song Chaodu again, and of course, Cao Yongguo. Unexpectedly, Li Dingshan said in person that it was Xia Wan who helped him to this day behind the scenes, and when Li Dingshan first entered the officialdom, he had a tortuous and bizarre experience!

Ma Wanzheng fully believed that what Li Dingshan said was not a drunken word, but a real heart. Xia Xiang was able to hide this matter from the moment, which proved that he was reliable in character, and on the other hand, it also indirectly demonstrated that Xia Xiang was a person, down-to-earth, sincere, and never took credit.

Not taking credit is the most valuable quality of a person in the officialdom. Which leader doesn’t like subordinates who work hard? But for a truly smart leader, who doesn’t appreciate his capable, talented and humble subordinates? Xia Xiang’s cleverness is that it should be his, he will fight for it. He shouldn’t be his, he will definitely not say it. The key point is that no matter how much the leader appreciates him, he will never want what he deserves or what he shouldn’t have as long as the leader doesn’t say it!

If Xia Want to take the privacy of his uncle Feng Xuguang, and ask him for help intentionally or unintentionally, even if he is unhappy, he will agree for Feng Xuguang's sake. But Xia Xiang never felt that he had mastered the privacy of his leader and had the same power. Moreover, Xia Xiang was always unwilling to ask him for help, what was the purpose of?

In the past, Ma Wanzheng always felt that Xia Xiang was psychologically alienating him. Today, after hearing Li Dingshan's words, he finally realized why Xia Xiang rarely spoke to him, but he didn't want to make him feel misunderstood, thinking that he was bargaining with him for some things.
