Chapter 429
Everyone has their own thoughts
Xia Xiang's face remained unchanged: "Isn't it? The little girl likes to think about it too much, and she says childish words like someone. Mei Xiaolin is the county magistrate, and it's normal for many things to do. Do you think they are just like you and can't do anything wrong at any time? Everyone is an ideal and ambition, and it's not a billionaire who can lie in bed and have money to make."
After being mocked by Xia Xiang, Gu Yu said aggrievedly: "Look at how powerful your mouth is, I just asked casually, "You have to take revenge on me, which proves that you are not only uncultured, but also stingy. I originally wanted to treat you, but now I have changed my mind and won't say it."
After saying that, Gu Yu turned around and left.
Xia Xiang didn't find it funny. Gu Yu sometimes had a little childlike temperament, so he hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, don't be angry, you are not young anymore, and you still throw a tantrum at any time. It's not good. Just say anything, but I can't spend time with Lao Gu a few more times."
Gu Yu was so coaxing, and she smiled again in a blink of an eye: "Okay, I'll make up with you... Have you heard that Mei Xiaolin might be transferred back to the capital?"
Xia Xiang was surprised: "I haven't heard her say when did it happen?"
"It was yesterday, when I was talking to her, she seemed to mention something accidentally. I asked again, but she refused to say it again." Gu Yu said with confusion, "It was obvious that the county magistrate was well-behaved, and suddenly transferred back to the capital, wasting a great opportunity. If you were to become the county party secretary, your resume would be much better and you would be promoted to the deputy department..."
Xia Xiang was a little confused, why did he suddenly want to be transferred back to the capital? Just as Gu Yu said, now he will definitely not be promoted to the deputy department, he is not qualified enough, and he probably won’t have any good position. Mei Xiaolin is much more mature in politics than before, and she is doing well in the position of county magistrate. Now she is definitely not a good idea.
After Gu Yu left, Xia Xiang sat alone in the car for a long time. Since he had sex with Mei Xiaolin last time, he has never contacted her. It’s not that he dared not contact her, nor does he want to contact her, but that he always felt that he lacked a special feeling of wanting to contact her. Speaking of which, Xia Xiang couldn’t say that there was no emotion for Mei Xiaolin, nor could he really mean love. He just felt that the two seemed to be friends who talked about everything, and often forgot her gender, but after what really happened, some memories always made people nostalgic.
Once the friendship between men and women develops to a certain extent, it will easily deteriorate and break through. After the breakthrough, it will either become strangers from now on or become out of control. Xia Xiang doesn't want to become a passerby with Mei Xiaolin, nor do she want to have any entanglements. I believe Mei Xiaolin may not want to have any deeper development with him, but it is probably impossible to return to her former friend relationship, so he has been enduring that he has not contacted Mei Xiaolin, and in fact he has been waiting for an opportunity.
Everything in the world needs an opportunity. Just like when he tried hard to promote the establishment of the leading group for industrial structure adjustment, what he needed was the opportunity to adjust the country's economic policies, the opportunity to inspect Yan Province by Vice Premier He, and the opportunity to have a series of chain reactions triggered by Lian Ruohan's idea of transferring him to Beijing. If he wanted to contact Mei Xiaolin, he also needed a reason to talk to her calmly about the serious matter.
Now, the reason has appeared.
Xia Xiang called Mei Xiaolin.
Mei Xiaolin's voice came from the microphone, calm and unsurprising: "Director Xia, what's the point of doing?"
Xia Xiang was also worried that Mei Xiaolin's attitude towards him changed drastically, but she didn't expect that she would be the same as before. It seems that it is not just that he has enough psychological tolerance, but perhaps he doesn't know much about women. Women are probably more calm than men in some aspects.
"Mr. Mei, I heard that you are going to be transferred back to the capital. What's going on?" Xia Xiang asked in a normal tone.
"It's nothing, it's just a normal job transfer." Mei Xiaolin seemed unwilling to talk about this matter, so she paused and explained a little, "I'm too tired in the local area. I'm a woman and it's difficult to get promoted to a higher vocational school. So I discussed it with my uncle and returned to Beijing to have a free job..."
"There are also several outstanding women among the national leaders, as well as provincial party committee organization ministers and female ministers from several provinces. I think you will be able to be the position of Minister Mei sooner or later." Xia Xiang thinks it would be a pity for Mei Xiaolin to give up now. After all, it has come to this day. It is natural to be the secretary of the county party committee and then to be the deputy department. With Mei Shengping's care, there is definitely no problem for Mei Xiaolin to serve as deputy mayor in Yan Province. If she joins Beijing in a few years, she can refer to the main department.
When you return to Beijing at the department level, your future will be much broader.
"You are so funny, haha." Mei Xiaolin finally smiled and regained her straightforward tone. "If a woman wants to reach a high position, she has to work several times more than a man. She either pursues singleness for the rest of her life or has a stable family. I may not have both. Besides, I also have self-knowledge. With my ability, I can at most be promoted to the department level... I figured it out, no longer fight, go back to Beijing to find a relaxed department to work, and no longer have to worry or work."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xia Xiang stopped persuading her and asked, "Have you decided to go?"
"No, how fast is it? I haven't thought about it yet. Why don't you come up with an idea for me?" Mei Xiaolin's tone became relaxed again, and she turned back to Mei Xiaolin that Xia Xiang had known before.
Xia Xiang felt aroused and blurted out: "Go to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League."
Mei Xiaolin reacted quickly enough and immediately thought of something: "There is no one in the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and it is not easy to go. There is someone in the Qiu family. You have a good relationship with Qiu Xufeng now. What do you mean is, have you come forward to find him for me?"
"As long as you nod, leave the rest to me."
"The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League is OK, but since you took the initiative, you must have other ideas and said, "What are your plans? Tell me?" Mei Xiaolin went straight and said, "Also, you are so proactive about my affairs, don't have any bad ideas. Some things can only happen once, and there is no possibility of coming again."
Fortunately, Xia Xiang was on the phone with Mei Xiaolin, not a face-to-face conversation, otherwise he would have been ashamed - Mei Xiaolin actually believed that she was greedy for her body and wanted to have in-depth communication. It was really a shame. Is she also a pervert in her eyes?
Xia Xiang said, "You're thinking too much. When I was with you, I didn't treat you as the opposite sex most of the time. As long as you are in normal condition, I definitely did not act beyond the norm. In addition, I think going to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League is to be free, and the other is also beneficial to your future development."
Mei Xiaolin snorted, didn't say anything more, and was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll just listen to you once, go to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League."
Xia Xiang let out a long sigh. No matter what Mei Xiaolin gave up the great opportunity in front of her, he could help her secretly, and he would also help her once. After going to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, even if she could not be promoted to a high position in the future, she might meet many heavyweights in the future, and even meet future powerhouses.
It is definitely beneficial to her future and to the Mei family.
When she returned home, the living room was pitch black, there was no light on, nor was there a table of delicious food that she used to be. The little girl curled up on the sofa alone, her face had not dried up, and she was already asleep. Xia Xiang came to her with slight hands and feet, feeling pity in her heart. She took out a tissue and gently wiped the tears on her face.
The little girl woke up in shock. When she saw Xia Xiang, she threw herself into his arms and started crying. Xia Xiang hugged her tightly and hurriedly coaxed her: "What's wrong? Why are you crying well? I lost my wallet or was regarded as a little girl again, or is it an old lady who insisted on introducing you to her boyfriend?"
Xia Xiang's words really worked. The little girl burst into tears and laughed: "You hate it, I'm just unhappy. If you want to cry for a while, you care too. You don't know that women have a lot of things, and sometimes they want to cry for no reason."
"It's good to cry, it's not good to hold things in your heart. You'll get sick after a long time. Do you know why women live longer than men? It's because women cry. When they cry, they will cry away their worries and sorrows. Men are different. Men are stuck in their hearts when they have things, and over time, they will become depressed and sick. Come on, cry for a while, cry a little more, I'll get a bowl and take your tears to see how much you can shed?"
"I'll hit you!" The little girl was so angry that she jumped up and threw herself on Xia Xiang, hitting his chest, "You don't coax me well, and even make me cry loudly. You are really heartless and don't know how to care about people at all."
Xia Xiang laughed: "I care about you, so I made you laugh again after crying. If I don't care about you, how can you let you stay on me? Look how good I treat you, you are so heavy, I still hold you."
The little girl's legs were crossed between Xia Xiang's waist, and her hands were wrapped around his neck, like a trench bear, wrapping her tightly around Xia Xiang. She leaned into Xia Xiang's ear, bit her lips and said in a low voice: "Where are you as heavy as you? You always press on me, can't I press you once?"
The little girl also first understood the charm, so Xia Xiang hugged her and walked around the place a few times and asked, "Tell me, why did you cry?"
"No, I just want to cry... I won't tell you the reason."
"Let me tell you, I'll give you an idea."
"I don't want to say it."
"Why?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just think I should have a baby for you, right?" The little girl finally said something and suddenly smiled again, "You said, it's better for us to have a son or a daughter? I think it's better for my daughter. My daughter is my mother's close-fitting cotton jacket."
Xia thought it through. The little girl must have known what Lian Ruohan was about to give birth, and then she thought that she had never been pregnant. The last time she was pregnant, she was so happy that she would inevitably have other ideas.
Xia Xiang didn't know how to persuade her. She never took the initiative to tell her the connection between her and Lian Ruohan, so he didn't point it out. After thinking about it, he said, "If you want a daughter, just let your daughter be fine. Don't worry. As long as we work together, we can definitely realize our human creation plan. Besides, you are still young, so it's not too late to have a child in two years."
"You have to worry about it early. Last time I went back to Dancheng, my mother said that people nowadays don't understand, so they all want children very late. In fact, it's better for children to get early, otherwise it will not only be difficult to raise them, but also tiring."
Xia Xiang can always hear someone's daughter-in-law not wanting to have children and have conflicts with her parents-in-law. Unexpectedly, she married a daughter-in-law who was eager to have children. It was really a blessing for each family to have their own family.
"Okay, I promise you." Xia Xiang glanced at the empty table, "I'm hungry, no one cooked for me, so I had to go out to eat. There is a saying that is right, my wife eats ready-made food at home, but my wife is not eating sesame cakes."
"Go, you're so unpopular. Can we go for a candlelight dinner together?"
"not good."
"Why?"
"Candle pollutes the environment and is also intoxicating."
"You...you don't think I'll hit you!"
Xia Xiang accompanied Cao Shuyan to have a candlelight dinner and chose a very romantic Western restaurant. After Cao Shuyan got married, there was no difference between him and before he got married. On the contrary, he looked even more rosy and radiant. He looked like a very beautiful and lovely female college student, as if she would never grow up.
Xia Xiang went to the bathroom. When he came back, he found a man standing in front of Cao Shuqiu, holding a rose in his hand, and was courting: "At first glance, you are a college girl, don't lie to me, you must not be married. I have a superman look at it. I can tell whether you are a married woman at first sight. Is it okay to give me a face? Please accept my flowers, thank you."
He is quite polite, and he is very gentlemanly.
Xia Xiang also asked for a rose from the waiter, and came to Cao Shugui and handed the rose forward: "I fell in love with you from the first sight of you. You are the goddess in my mind, the true love I pursue throughout my life... Please agree to my courtship, okay?"
Cao Shuyan held back his smile, bit his lip, looked at the gentleman beside him, and then looked at Xia Xiang, as if he was hesitating to choose which one. The gentleman also looked at Xia Xiang, tidied up his clothes, and nodded slightly at Xia Xiang with a proud look on his face.
Xia Xiang also responded politely, and then said, "Don't hesitate anymore, I'm the choice you can't miss in your life!"
Cao Shuqiu nodded as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I accept your courtship."
The gentleman on the side was surprised and said dissatisfiedly: "Why choose him not me? I'm ahead of him, handsomer than him, and sincerer than him. You have to give me a reason to convince me!"
Cao Shuqiu stood up, held Xia Xiang's arm, raised his face and said to the gentleman: "There is no reason, love, no reason."
Xia Xiang cooperated with her and said gently: "Dear, let's get married, okay?"
"Okay, I promise to marry you."
The gentleman sighed to the sky: "God, there is such love at first sight in real life... I am unwilling to accept it. I have a house and a car, I am handsome, and I am still a rich second generation. How could I fail?"
The candlelight dinner was not finished, Xia Xiang had a hot pot with Cao Shuyan. He waited until he got home. Cao Shuyan was still happy and laughed constantly.
...
At noon on Thursday, Xia Xiang suddenly received a call from Fan Zheng.
Fan Zheng's voice was intimate but enthusiastic: "Xia Xiang, I, Hu Hansan, are back again, haha... how about it? Do you have time to meet at night?"
It came very quickly, Xia Xiang was secretly happy, and he had to be very cautious when dealing with Fan Ruiheng. Fortunately, his son Fan Zhengyuan was not as scheming as Gao Jianyuan. But thinking about it, Fan Ruiheng is also a powerful figure. Even though he knew that Gao Jianyuan's fall was related to him, he dared to let Fan Zheng interact with him. Either he was confident that he could completely control himself, or he believed that driven by common interests, he would not do irrational things.
Xia Xiang smiled at himself with a sarcastic smile. Who said that Fan Ruiheng is low-key? He just doesn't show his true face. He also sees himself thoroughly. Although he was indomitable when he dealt with Gao Chengsong, he had no conflicts of interest and no hatred between him and Fan Ruiheng. On the contrary, he still had a common opponent to face and had sufficient foundation for cooperation.
Xia Xiang made an appointment with Fan Zheng to meet at Xiao Baoxian in the evening. Fan Zheng was very puzzled by Xia Xiang's appointment with him to meet at a porridge house, but he did not express any dissatisfaction and agreed immediately.
Then Xia Xiang had a phone call with Qi Yanan again.
"Yanan, do you have time tonight? Okay, then meet Xiao Baoxian at 7 pm. OK, just arrange the room."
Xia Xiang didn't go to pick Fan Zheng up, and came to Xiaoxiangxian alone. Qi Yanan had already booked the room, and he came first before him. When he arrived in the room, Xia Xiang did not politely with him and asked straight to the point: "How are the planning of the bath center? Have you ever thought about the name?"
"I have thought of the name, and I call it the Count. The preliminary work is basically ready. With the help of Secretary-General Zheng, the lights were always green, but the last procedure was stuck in the city. Now half a month has passed, and there is no news at all. Secretary-General Zheng said that it was stuck in Mayor Tan's hands."
Xia Xiang heard this and shook his head and smiled: "As expected, don't worry, let Mayor Tan take it for a few days first, and someone will come forward to help you solve it."
Seeing that Xia Xiang looked confident, Qi Yanan didn't say anything else and asked, "It seems that you are not very familiar with Secretary-General Zheng? Secretary-General Zheng said that he is deeply impressed by you."
When Tan Long and Xia wanted to deal with each other, Qi Yanan naturally knew it. Xia wanted to say that someone came forward, but he absolutely believed it. With Xia Want's connections with Yan Municipal Party Committee, as long as he spoke, there would definitely be heavyweights coming to mediate.
"I will introduce a friend to you later. He is not old and should be friends with you. They are all young people and must have a common language." Xia Xiang revealed some information to Qi Yanan in advance, but didn't say much. He couldn't force Qi Yanan to do anything, so he could only help him to see Qi Yanan's reaction.
Soon, Fan Zheng arrived.
Fan Zheng didn't change much. He became a little fatter and matured a lot. When he saw Xia Xiang, he said happily: "For more than two years in Beijing, it's a strange thing that I miss most in Yan City. Brother Xia, the first call I made after I came back was you. The first friend I saw was also you. How about it, you are a friend, right?"
