Big man

Gu Yu didn't stop Fei from introducing himself. After Fei finished speaking, he looked at him contemptuously and said, "Have you finished speaking? I'm talking so much nonsense!" He glanced at Xia Xiang gently, "Who are you Qiu Xufeng?"

Xia Xiang was about to speak, but the light in his eyes found an acquaintance in the distance. He turned his head and saw that it was Mei Xiaolin. Mei Xiaolin also noticed Xia Xiang and waved at him happily.

Xia Xiang stood up and smiled and said to King Fei, "I lost my companion." He turned around and said to Gu Yu, "Actually, you are quite energetic, but you just don't want to release it."

Without waiting for the ancient jade to show it, it left.

Gu Yu sat there for a while, and saw that King Fei was still looking at her, he said coldly again: "I heard that you had pursued Fu Duoduo? You don't think about it. How could Duoduo like you? Even if she likes Xia Xiang just now, she won't fall in love with you."

Fei Wang's face changed a few times, as if he was a little afraid of ancient jade. In the end, he endured it and said with a smile: "How can men not do it if they pursue women without working hard? If every man sees the woman they like and is so timid that he dare not pursue it, wouldn't the women in the world be like you and can't get married?"

Gu Yu was told to the point and suddenly glared at King Fei: "It is because there are too many men like you in the world that many women would rather be single."

Xia Xiang came to Mei Xiaolin and found a young man of the same age sitting on her right. He looked weak and looked at him indifferently, then looked away, as if he did not exist.

Mei Xiaolin asked Xia Xiang to sit on her left, and then introduced the young man on the right to him: "Let me introduce my younger brother Mei Xiaomu. Xiaomu, this is Xia Xiang I often talk about."

Mei Xiaomu forced a smile, with a look of arrogance in her smile as if she was keeping others from thousands of miles away. He took the initiative to extend his hand, and immediately separated from Xia Xiang with a slight grip, saying, "Happy, Director Xia."

Xia Xiang didn't care about Mei Xiaomu's ignorance. He would not look down on him just because he was a princeling, nor did he ask for him. Indifference is his attitude, so he can just deal with it calmly.

He smiled and said, "Happy, Mr. Mei..."

Mei Xiaolin saw that Mei Xiaomu was holding an air, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaomu, Xia Xiang is my good friend. If you don't respect him, you just don't respect me."

"Sister, can you speak more meticulously? He is him, you are you, how can you confuse me?" Mei Xiaomu did not dare to hold her attitude in front of Mei Xiaolin, but she refused to bow her head. "Your words can easily make others confused, as if he is you! I heard that he is married, sister, please respect yourself."

Mei Xiaomu said the last sentence very seriously. According to Xia Xiang's speculation, Mei Xiaolin should be angry. Unexpectedly, she just smiled indifferently and said, "I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. What are you afraid of? You are my younger brother, and I will not explain to you or scold you. If it is someone else, I will scold him if I don't slap him."

Mei Xiaomu looked at Xia Xiang again and asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Qiu Xufeng? Since you and my sister are friends, you shouldn't get close to Qiu Xufeng."

Xia Xiang laughed: "Mr. Mei seems to be too polite, and some things are not your turn to say. I don't seem to have any friendship with you. Do you talk to me in an orderly tone or in a negotiated attitude?"

Mei Xiaomu was furious by Xia Xiang's disapproval. She wanted to get angry, but then she thought that he had no reason to ask Xia Xiang to do anything, so she said to Mei Xiaolin dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what kind of friend is he yours? She ran from Yan City to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding, which was obviously flattering the Qiu family!"

Mei Xiaolin ignored Mei Xiaomu and said helplessly to Xia Xiang: "Did you see it too? I used to think that the Qiu family was not as good as the Mei family. Now, compared my brother and Qiu Xufeng, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Xia Xiang, can you help me train Xiaomu? He is too arrogant now."

Mei Xiaomu sneered at Mei Xiaolin's statement, but said nothing.

Xia Xiang shook his head: "He has a good background, a huge family power, and his own conditions are pretty good. He is handsome and a little arrogant is normal..."

After hearing Xia Xiang's words, Mei Xiaomu looked slightly contented.

However, Xia Xiang continued: "Everyone has self-esteem. Although excessive self-esteem becomes inferior, because everyone likes to be self-centered, they regard things outside as capital to be proud. In fact, there is no need for arrogance from many descendants of large families. Arrogance is often a manifestation of lack of confidence, just like in the officialdom, among officials below the department level, the most arrogant. Once they reach the department level, because they have strong strength, they basically develop an approachable temper. The higher the status, the more casual people will show their easy-going side. Easy-going does not reduce their identity. On the contrary, the more casual, the more it can indicate whether a person has cultivation, quality and confidence..."

Mei Xiaomu's face turned pale and she glared at Xia Xiang, trying to refute, but she couldn't speak.

Mei Xiaolin was so happy that she couldn't stand up.

"Why are you laughing so happily?" Mei Shengping's voice suddenly rang.

Xia Xiang looked back and saw Mei Shengping standing behind him with a wine glass. There were two people standing next to him. One person Xia Xiang knew Wu Caijiang, and the other person was slightly taller than Wu Caijiang. He looked over 50 years old and had a little fatter. He wore black-framed glasses. His eyes came from behind the glasses, which still made people feel a little stern.

Xia Xiang was slightly surprised. This person's gaze was so sharp. Could it be that he worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission all year round?

Xia Xiang really guessed it right.

When Mei Shengping saw Xia Xiang, he nodded slightly and said, "Come on, Xiaoxia, let me introduce you, Fu Yuanzhi, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Then he pointed his hand at Wu Caijiang: "He doesn't need to introduce it, right?" He said that he didn't need to introduce it, but he still told Wu Caijiang's identity, "Wu Caijiang, Vice Minister of Education."

Fu Yuanzhi should be the Fu family, so Xia Xiang smiled respectfully and waited for Fu Yuanzhi to take the initiative to reach out. If the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was not the secretary of the Secretariat, he was a ministerial-level cadre. Since Mei Shengping did not specifically point out, Fu Yuanzhi in front of him should be the same as the governor of Yan Province. In terms of level, he is one level higher than Mei Shengping and Wu Caijiang's deputy ministers.

Fu Yuanzhi slowed down, then slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Xia Xiang... I heard Cai Jiang and Shengping say you are a young man with vitality. It is a good thing for young people to be energetic and motivated, but it is best to master a certain degree. Vitality is because of youth, and motivation requires wisdom."

Fu Yuanzhi had something in his words, and Xia Xiang thought that it was probably related to his approaching with the Mei family and the Qiu family, and he would not have a good impression of himself. Although the Fu family and the Wu family were not in harmony and had a common relationship with the Mei family, he would also attend the Qiu family's wedding and also walk with Wu Caijiang and Mei Shengping. For big things, everyone should maintain a peaceful coexistence.

Xia Xiang wanted to be in the entanglement between several major families. But things often went against his wishes. Because of his work in the provincial party committee, he got close to Mei Shengping. Because of Lian Ruohan, he might have contacted Wu Caijiang and his work and cooperation with Qiu Xufeng. Although his relationship with the Qiu family is not very good, it is not very bad. In this way, it is normal for Fu Yuanzhi to have no good feelings for him.

Xia Xiang replied respectfully: "Thanks to Secretary Fu for his teachings. After I go back, I will regard it as my motto and keep it in mind."

Wu Caijiang smiled behind Fu Yuanzhi and nodded secretly to Xia Xiang.

Fu Yuanzhi didn't say anything, ignored Xia Xiang's words and turned around and greeted Mei Xiaolin.

Xia Xiang took a step forward and said to Wu Caijiang: "Hello, Minister Wu."

Wu Caijiang didn't know who he intended to tell, so he patted Xia Xiang's shoulder intimately: "What's the name of Minister Wu? You're so weird, just call Uncle Wu. By the way, Ruohan is back too. She's at home. Do you want to go over and see her?"

Lian Ruohan's father is also in the capital. Xia thought about it and would have been spared. I'm afraid Wu Caijiang could guess that he sent Lian Ruohan back to Beijing. He said this just now, just said it on purpose, and then laughed: "I have to sit with Xu Feng at night. I'm afraid there is no time, so there will be no trouble."

"I will stay in the capital for another day tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you." Wu Caijiang deliberately showed that he and Xia Xiang had a close relationship in front of Fu Yuanzhi and Mei Shengping. Of course, Xia Xiang also knew that Wu Caijiang did not use him as a fulcrum to lift him, but deliberately tried to leverage the relationship between him and the Mei family and the Qiu family.

How could Mei Shengping not understand Wu Caijiang's thoughts? He smiled and said to Mei Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, last time Xia wanted to send you back to Beijing, but you didn't say anything, so he asked him to go back to Yan City. This time he came to Beijing again. As a Beijinger, you should do your best to be a landlord, right? Take time to accompany Xiaoxia tomorrow. After all, you are a colleague and the cooperation is quite pleasant."

Xia Xiang was a little helpless. The open and secret struggles between the families made him a little unbearable. Just as he was about to refuse the invitation from both families, he heard another slightly old voice behind him: "Caijiang, Shengping, you seem to have forgotten the most important thing, that is, Xia Xiang is our Qiu family's guest today, and Xufeng's guest. He should have arranged everything by the Qiu family. How can he follow you? Isn't it a joke that our Qiu family is stingy?"

Well, all the big guys appeared one after another. Xia Xiang quickly looked back and saw a person standing behind him. He was tall, slightly fat, and had a red face. At first glance, he looked a bit like Qiu Xufeng. He could guess without introducing it. It must be Qiu Xufeng's father.

Xia Xiang called respectfully: "Hello, uncle."

Although Wu Caijiang wanted to win over Xia Xiang on the surface, he would not lose his politeness, so he recommended it to the two: "Minister Qiu, this is Xia Xiang, director of the Information Department of the General Office of the Yan Provincial Party Committee. Xia Xiang, this is Qiu Renli, Minister of the Ministry of National Security."

The last time Xia Xiang told Qiu Xufeng that someone from Yan Province’s National Security Department was following him, he guessed that someone from the Qiu family was in the National Security Department. Unexpectedly, Qiu Xufeng’s father was the Minister of the Ministry of State Security, which surprised him. In fact, he knew a little about the list of leaders of major ministries and commissions, and thought that Qiu Renli was Qiu Xufeng’s uncle or uncle, but it turned out to be his father.

The Ministry of State Security belongs to a special department and cannot be discussed at an ordinary level. Xia Xiang shook hands with Qiu Renli very respectfully and said, "Xufeng and I have always had good cooperation in work. Xufeng is calm and mature, and is cautious in doing things. It turns out that they all come from Minister Qiu's teachings."

I just called my uncle because I was not sure who the other party was, nor did I know the other party’s position. Now I call Minister Qiu, it is a respectful title.

Qiu Renli was kind and smiled and said, "Why are you calling Minister Qiu again? You're not? I've heard Xu Feng say to you for a long time, so I specifically told him to invite you to attend his wedding, so as to take the opportunity to walk around more. Xu Feng said that you are one of his best friends now, so I was very interested because Xu Feng has a sloppy personality and is not easy to make friends. He has never heard of him having any friends for several years in An County. Now he always talks about you, which makes me very curious. What kind of person Xiao Xia is? Let Xu Feng always talk about his good things? Since we are here today, there is a family dinner tonight, so don't go anywhere. Xu Feng hasn't sat down with you yet. If you leave, he will be disappointed."

Xia Xiang originally came specifically to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding. If he was taken away by the Mei family or Wu family, the Qiu family would be disgraced. Even if he didn't take his anger on him, he would blame him for not being able to do things. Xia Xiang agreed immediately: "I have already promised Xufeng that I will stay in the evening, so please rest assured."

Qiu Renli smiled and said to Wu Caijiang and Mei Shengping: "Caijiang, Shengping will be there at night. There are young people and we have one table. We are not outsiders. If we don't come, we will see each other."

Mei Shengping and Wu Caijiang looked at each other and nodded together: "It must be here."

After a small episode, Xia Xiang sat down again, Mei Xiaomu asked dissatisfiedly: "You are just a director, why do everyone look up to you?"

Xia Xiang shook his head: "When dealing with people, position is very important, but not a decisive role. If you feel that the other person is not as good as you and is not as high as you and is not as high as you and is despised by the other person, you will never be able to make friends who sincerely help you."

Mei Xiaomu said disapprovingly: "Fallusion!"

Xia Xiang smiled calmly: "You asked me yourself, it's not me who took the initiative to pay attention to you. Besides, if it's a fallacy, it doesn't count. As a member of the Mei family, why didn't you talk to you just now, Secretary Fu and Minister Qiu?"

Xia Xiang noticed that Fu Yuanzhi and Qiu Renli had a brief conversation with Mei Xiaolin just now, but they bothered Mei Xiaomu and didn't care.

Mei Xiaomu suddenly became angry and suddenly stood up: "Xia Xiang, you, shut up."

Mei Xiaolin finally got angry, reached out and pulled Mei Xiaomu back to her seat, scolding her, "If you can't control your arrogant temper, please leave the wedding scene now. No one will keep you and save you from losing face from the Mei family."

Mei Xiaomu glared at Mei Xiaolin angrily, but finally softened, stopped talking, and turned his head aside.

Mei Xiaolin said helplessly to Xia Xiang: "I have spoiled since I was a child, and I really can't do anything to him. My family has been looking forward to having a boy since I was a child, but I was so proud of me. After being disappointed with me as a girl, I gave birth to Xiaomu. Naturally, I was so fond of him that he was so arrogant that he was now. I was too lazy to care about him, and I felt that he was hopeless."

Xia Xiang was unwilling to express more opinions on Mei Xiaolin's family affairs. As long as Mei Xiaomu did not take the initiative to provoke trouble, he would not pay attention to him. There was no need to be as knowledgeable as Mei Xiaomu. Thinking of what Qiu Xufeng said before, Xia Xiang laughed secretly. I believe Qiu Xufeng had been as arrogant and arrogant as Mei Xiaomu before, but after he was released to the grassroots level and encountered many obstacles at work, he realized that arrogance and prejudice ultimately only harmed his own interests.

If you are arrogant and prejudiced to others, and in turn, others will also behave against you. If you use one person's power to fight everyone, you will not think of any other possibility besides a crushing defeat.

Unfortunately, many people do not understand this truth, as if they are not arrogant or arrogant, they cannot show their uniqueness. There are two types of uniqueness. One is the uniqueness of being in a high position but approachable, which means they have the ability and have no temper. The other is the uniqueness of being not high but have a strong temper, which means they have no ability and have no temper. Just imagine, everyone is willing to be respected by others, and even if they are not respected, they will be treated equally. But if they meet an arrogant and arrogant person, even if they fear his authority and respect on the surface, they will actually become resistant to him deep in their hearts.

Only by being with the light and dust can you have an impact on the people around you, let others accept you and trust you further. If you always take a superior attitude, you will be distant from others and gradually move away from them - a person who cannot integrate into the crowd, whether it is an official or a businessman, will be careful that he will be the end of failure.

Because you don’t integrate into the crowd, you cannot understand what everyone thinks.

Xia Xiang looked at Mei Xiaomu again and felt that he was really pitiful. He was not old and insisted on posing in a high position. If this continues, he didn’t know that he would be destined to be a tragic end. There were many princelings, and very few people who could finally stand at the provincial level, and there were even fewer people who arrived at the center. Why? Because most of them were eliminated as soon as they reached the grassroots level.

No matter how powerful the family is, it can only be limited to one place or one industry. Below, even if you are a princeling, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the unspoken rules of the officialdom must be followed. Any leader at the first level will not reuse someone who is incompatible with other leading cadres. In a sense, Qiu Xufeng's ability to be today was only after he had gone through the most difficult mental journey and took a gratifying step.

It is also a crucial step.

This reminds me of the absurdity of Mei Shengping back then. It is not easy for him to be today. He is also a person with great perseverance. Otherwise, he would not have reached the position of Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department in the officialdom.

Of course, there is Wu Caijiang. Although some people say that he is very popular in his work for three minutes, some people say that he is not steady enough, etc., it is not easy for him to be at the vice-ministerial level in Beijing. It is one thing that people above support him. If he is not able to support him, he will not work. If he can really reach a high position as long as someone above can reach a high level, then there will not be so many people from grassroots who will climb to the provincial level and the center.
