Chapter 404 Bridges and Stumbling Blocks

Cui Xiang's eyes flashed, but he thought in his heart that Xia Xiang was really mature. Not only did he not complain at all, he could also say beautiful words on the scene. Whether it was sincere or not, at least it was impeccable in the general situation. In an instant, he suddenly had an illusion that he thought about joining Xia Xiang to the provincial party committee was a mistake. Not only did he not leave him idle, but he provided him with a broader stage.

However, he immediately denied his unconfident idea. Although the last Qiu Xufeng incident ended in failure, it was normal for you to advance and retreat in the officialdom. Moreover, he also keenly seized the opportunity in front of him, that is, all the suggestions of Vice Premier He were pressing on Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng. They were now tired of dealing with the pressure from the upper class, and probably could not be distracted from rectifying within the provincial party committee for a while. He happened to take this opportunity to win over and divide and establish his own alliance.

Anyone will think that everything he does is correct. Before he completely fails, he always feels that there is still a possibility of victory, especially when he reaches Cui Xiang's level, his hands and eyes can be connected. With the tough backstage of the upper class and the guarantee of the Fu family, he is very sure that he can gain a firm foothold in the Yan Provincial Party Committee and form his own faction.

After the last incident of Qiu Xufeng, he heard that Qiu Xufeng and Fu Duoduo were married. He was scared and sweated. He quickly contacted the Fu family and got the reply that marriage is marriage, politics is politics, two different things, the benefits that should be fought for, and no consideration of marriage... Cui Xiangcai felt relieved and had a further understanding of the complex relationship between the big family.

At the same time, the Fu family also asked Cui Xiang to have more contact with Zhang Jianguo, a political commissar of the Provincial Military Region. Zhang Jianguo and the Fu family have a good relationship and are expected to echo Cui Xiang at the Standing Committee. He also suggested that Cui Xiang cultivate his own strength in the Provincial Party Committee as soon as possible, and at least in the Standing Committee, they should find two or three people who can help him at critical moments. When needed, the Fu family will come forward to help him.

Cui Xiang, who once again received the promise of the Fu family, swept away the frustration of the failure of the Qiu Xufeng incident. He began to look forward to contacting Zhang Jianguo and the situation after Fu Xianfeng took office in Yan City, which would definitely develop in a direction that would be beneficial to him. At the same time, he also heard good news that Lu Yuanyuan, the Minister of the Propaganda Department, might be transferred to a northwestern province as the Minister of Organization Department, and the vacant position of Propaganda Minister may also be taken into his hands by the Fu family.

In this way, at that time, he will have at least two alliances in the provincial party committee. He now has a good relationship with Li Bingwen, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and there is also the possibility of establishing an alliance. If he is included, four people in the Standing Committee will make the same voice, which will be a force that cannot be ignored.

Because the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is now in charge of their own affairs, and no strong factions appear, except... except Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu, Xing Duantai, Chen Feng and Mei Shengping.

Ma Wanzheng had a slightly closer relationship with Song Chaodu, and Song Chaodu and Xing Duantai had a good personal relationship. Chen Feng and Ma Wanzheng were able to negotiate. They had no contact with Song Chaodu, Xing Duantai and Mei Shengping, and Mei Shengping had basically no personal relationship with several people. Logically speaking, the above are not possible to unite, but they have a joint bond between them - Xia Xiang!

Except for Xing Duantai and Xia Xiang, there seems to be no interactions with each other, the others have made a show for Xia Xiang. Although the few people also have their own interests, if Xia Xiang uses it properly, there is no possibility of union. At least, they can be consistent in key matters.

Xia Xiang is a crucial bridge!

During the Chinese New Year, although only a few people knew about the trial stay in the sanatorium and no one was circulated, Cui Xiang still had a channel to learn about the list of leading cadres at provincial and municipal levels going to the sanatorium, which forced him to be more vigilant. Xia Xiang, although he was just a department-level cadre at the moment, it became the biggest stumbling block that could hinder his plan!

Cui Xiang knew more clearly that he had voted for Xia Xiang's support on the issue of Gao Chengsong back then. Although it was forced by the situation, he was willing to fight Gao Chengsong in order to support Xia Xiang. Cui Xiang also thought from this that Xia Xiang could find a fulcrum and find common interests among everyone to deal with Gao Chengsong, and could also unite Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu and others to unite against him.

The dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee regarded a department-level cadre as a rival. If he said it, someone would definitely not believe it or even use it as a joke. Cui Xiang took this matter very seriously. Gao Chengsong's lessons learned from the past have to be observed. Xia Xiang usually does not show off his own way. Once something happens, the person who comes forward will spare no effort to support him!

It used to be Chen Feng, but now there are more Song Chaodu and Ma Wanzheng, and even Mei Shengping. How could Xia Xiang be appreciated by so many people? What is he relying on?

Cui Xiang even thought that he could deal with Ye Shisheng openly and secretly, and could win over Fan Ruiheng with his wrists, but for Xia Xiang, he always felt that he was powerful and had nowhere to do it, because Xia Xiang acted steadily and spoke without missing a word. Usually, he seemed to be wronged at the mercy of others, but he could always use the power to solve the problem and let others come forward to solve the problem. This was a complete effect of making a fortune.

A person who can't catch the fault is, even as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, it is impossible to find trouble. What to do with him? Especially when Cui Xiang learned that Xia Xiang went to the capital to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding, he met Fu Xianfeng unexpectedly at the wedding. The Wu family and Mei family seemed to have a good relationship with him, which surprised him and improved his guardianship towards Xia Xiang.

But Cui Xiang also learned something from Xia Xiang that Xia Xiang is just a small department-level cadre and can establish good relationships with several major families. As the deputy of the Provincial Party Committee, he can definitely get huge gains beyond Xia Xiang's ability.

Since Xia Xiang has a wide range of connections, he is respected as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and is able to join forces and make every effort to make use of his advantages among major families to get the support and everything he wants.

Suddenly, Cui Xiang became more convinced of the correctness of communicating Xia Xiang to the provincial party committee. At least he could make Xia Xiang come to report his work at any time with a call, and could also observe his movements up close, and ask him some questions indirectly. If he didn't believe that, he didn't let him say anything.

Moreover, from Xia Xiang, Cui Xiang firmly believed that he could also be appreciated by various major families like Xia Xiang, and deal with various forces with ease, and finally achieve the purpose of using it for me.

"I want to stay in the provincial party committee to work, I support you." Cui Xiang smiled very well and patted Xia Xiang's shoulder intimately without seeing any other words. "If you have more work in the future, don't think it's hard to get close to me as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. When we were in Yan City, even if we met you, it can be said that you are growing up little by little. Don't be restrained. If you have any ideas, I will try my best to help you solve the difficulties in work and life within a reasonable range."

"Thank you, Secretary Cui, thank you." Xia Xiang looked grateful and bent down slightly. "Thank you very much for Secretary Cui's care for me. I will definitely keep it firmly in my heart. Regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, the leaders will decide everything. My personal wish is to stay with you."

Xia Xiang's attitude was extremely respectful and showed a flattering expression.

"This is not impossible to directly reject the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but they seem to be very interested in you. They sent two commercial reconciliation letters in a row. If they don't give them a convincing statement, it may not be good. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation still needs to be taken care of. Otherwise, you will write a thought report after you go back and write your feelings about working in the provincial party committee and your eagerness to stay in the provincial party committee. Then report it to me for a look, and I will send it to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation so that they can give up." Cui Xiang unexpectedly made an unnecessary suggestion. He looked at Xia Xiang with a smile. He seemed amiable, but his eyes were unquestionable firmness.

Xia thought it through. Cui Xiang knew very well that the Wu family was working hard behind the scenes, and that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics and Trade issued another letter to the transfer, not just to transfer him to Beijing, but to give Yan Sheng a reminder, that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics and Trade, supported by Vice Premier He, was very firm in his attitude, and perhaps he wanted to vaguely tell Ye Shisheng through this move that the debate on industrial structure adjustment has not ended yet.

The transfer of his to Beijing was indeed a political signal from the beginning to the moment when he wanted to mobilize him. Xia Xiang was helpless. Although Shang’s transfer letter was not binding, he could not send it again and again, and did not take it seriously. It seems that Yi Xiangshi is also an interesting person. He repeatedly reminded Ye Shisheng whether he was sincere or had ulterior motives?

The key is, what is Cui Xiang's intention? He asked himself to write an experience in person, saying that it was used to reject the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs. I am afraid that the real purpose is to test himself. Could it be that he took this opportunity to express his loyalty to him in the form of ideological reports?

Xia Xiang was not sure about Cui Xiang's real purpose, but Secretary Cui had to obey him for his fate, so he immediately agreed: "I will write it immediately after I go back, and I will report it to you immediately as soon as I finish writing it."

"Okay, then let's do it first?" Cui Xiang issued an order to expel guests.

Cui Xiang's real purpose is to use Xia Xiang's thought report to keep him in the provincial party committee. He was also worried that if something changed, Ye Shisheng suddenly changed his mind and agreed to let Xia Xiang go, he would be very passive. In case such a situation occurs, he would take out Xia Xiang's thought book to delay time. Cui Xiang now thinks that keeping Xia Xiang by his side is the best choice. First, you can keep a close eye on him, and second, you can learn from him how to deal with big families.

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Goodbye Secretary Cui." He turned around and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again. He remembered what Ye Shisheng asked him to pass the message. He slapped his head in annoyance and said, "Oh, when I came, I met Secretary Ye at the door. He said he asked me to tell you that it was an emergency meeting. But as soon as he reported to you, he forgot."

Cui Xiang's face changed slightly: "When?"

"When he met Secretary Ye, he said that it was an hour later."

Cui Xiang raised his hand and looked at his watch. Anger flashed in his eyes, because it had been an hour since Xia Xiang came to the office until now. He was about to get angry, but he remembered that it was actually him who had let Xia Xiang go first for almost half an hour, and he knew that he couldn't blame Xia Xiang completely, so he waved his hand and let Xia Xiang leave and didn't say anything.

Xia Xiang saw his anger from his bad expression, and thought to himself that there was nothing he could do, it was you wasted time, it was not me. He also knew that Cui Xiang would not explain to Ye Shisheng that he was late because of his own reasons. Such a shirking of responsibility was not the demeanor that a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee should have. Cui Xiang could only suffer a loss and did not explain anything, but just apologizing to everyone is the best way to do it.

After Xia Xiang returned to the office, he finished his thought report shortly after. After writing, he guessed Cui Xiang's intentions. He knew that Cui Xiang was still afraid that he would leave the provincial party committee, so he couldn't help but feel funny. Now he wanted to stay in the provincial party committee as strongly as ever, not to compete with Cui Xiang, but to wait for an opportunity to wait for Vice Premier He to inspect Yan Province, and to see how Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng should choose, and what kind of situation is the future of Yan Province!

From the perspective of our own mind, Xia Xiang naturally hopes that Yan Province will make structural adjustments, because Yan Province is already too far behind developed provinces. Although adjustments will inevitably touch the interests of many people, and will also cause many interest disputes, and may even fail. However, reform and development are all groping forward in the pain. Without the courage to try and the determination to move forward, how can there be hope for success?

Even if he is in a bloody way, he can learn from his experience and lessons and make a breakthrough again. There is always a possibility of success. However, he is not the person in power and has no influence to change the decisions of the upper level. At the level of the provincial party secretary and the governor, most people will seek stability over reform. They would rather have no political achievements during their tenure than change the status quo and cause trouble. Maybe they will end up in a sad end. In the early stage of reform, there were many precedents of failure during their tenure. They were expected to have a bright future and eventually stopped at the provincial level.

Moreover, Yan Province people are famously conservative. Yan Province has poor competitiveness and few high-precision enterprises. Including Yan City, after the bankruptcy of cotton mills, no cotton mill has emerged from the crisis, pioneered ideas, and transformed into a new type of bedding manufacturer. Instead, they let the factory go from cotton mills to factory ten, and almost went bankrupt.

Yan Province is a famous cotton-producing province. When the cotton mill poured into the country, cotton flowed into Qi and the south. Then the cotton fabrics from Qi and several southern provinces slowly opened up the market and sold well across the country.

There are countless painful lessons.

I don’t know if Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng have the courage to make a last try? Xia Xiang is not optimistic about this. However, no matter which situation, he was sure that he had a solution.

During lunch, Xia Xiang was going to the cafeteria with Yang Tianke to make meals. As soon as he walked to the cafeteria, he accidentally met Qian Jinsong at the door of the cafeteria.

Generally speaking, provincial leaders come to the canteen to eat occasionally, but very few because they have special small canteens. Unless a leader is on a whim and wants to be sympathetic to the people, walk among the masses, and establish a people-friendly image, they will come to the canteen to show off.

Qian Jinsong seemed to have just walked to the canteen door and responded to everyone's greetings cordially, and was very patient. Yang Tianke hesitated for a moment, but he still greeted Qian Jinsong in front of Xia Xiang.
