Chapter 484 Paving the Road

Xia wanted to know that it was a rare opportunity now. Since Ye Shisheng was not ashamed to ask and discuss the next round of pilot reforms with him, he must reveal his ideas, otherwise there might not be such a good opportunity to impress Ye Shisheng in the future.

If you want to take the next step, you have to pave the way for yourself.

"Yan Province's economic output value ranks in the country, but Yan City is ranked very low among the provincial capital cities across the country, which is only a few poor provinces in the northwest. However, the economic scale of several backward provinces in the northwest is much worse than that of Yan Province. Therefore, by analogy, the influence of Yan City as a provincial capital city in China is inconsistent with Yan Province's ranking in China. As a province's face, Yan City's backwardness directly affects the image of Yan Province. This is one of them."

"Yan City is the provincial capital. Although the success or failure is important, the industrial structure adjustment has achieved initial success and has accumulated certain experience. Any emerging thing is first served. If Yan City is excluded from the second batch of pilot cities, by the third batch or full promotion, Yan City is equivalent to taking the last bus. By then, the craze for industrial structure adjustment has passed and the capital boom has belonged. In the end, there may be very little funds left, and Yan City will be unprofitable, it is just an image project. This is the second one."

"Secretary Ye is a rare provincial party secretary with courage and pioneering spirit in Yan Province in the past decade. Yan Province has always been conservative and inadequate. However, under the correct leadership of Secretary Ye and under the drastic implementation of the policy of industrial structure adjustment, Yan Province has achieved unprecedented results and has also received close attention from the upper class. As the provincial capital that the upper class is most concerned about, if it can be successfully restructured during Secretary Ye's term, it will not only make Yan City the fastest-growing provincial capital city in China, but also put a successful end to the industrial structure adjustment of Yan Province!"

After Xia Xiang finished speaking, he smiled humbly and looked at Ye Shisheng expectantly.

Ye Shisheng was so excited by what Xia Xiang said.

Which provincial party secretary does not want to make a difference and does not want to leave a strong mark in the historical development of a province? Gao Chengsong was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Since he took over as secretary, it was a great opportunity to make great progress to reorganize Yan Province's politics and economy. How could he miss such a good historical opportunity? Xia Xiang was right. Yan City is a very backward provincial capital in China. It is not only underdeveloped economy, but also has a small area, and a small population. The urban population is now only more than 1.5 million. In recent years, it has been progressing slowly, the urbanization rate is not high, the urban population growth is slow, and the introduction of foreign capital is low, etc. When he attended a national meeting last time, he listed the comparison between provinces and provincial capitals in the country. The overall data of Yan Province can be seen at a glance, but when Yan City compared it with other provincial capitals, the data was a bit terrible.

Ye Shisheng knew that there was not much time left for him. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, although he was responsible for the whole province and faced the whole province, he also worked and lived in Yan City and had a deeper relationship with Yan City. He also wanted to wait for him to leave Yan Province so that the people of Yan City could remember him and praise his political achievements!

Officials cherish their reputation, especially when they reach the level of provincial party secretary, most people find it difficult to take a step forward. What they want at this time is a good reputation that the people can talk about. A person can leave fame and fortune in his life.

Ye Shisheng was heartbroken.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered the idea of ​​adding a new district when Xia Xiang last time he was having dinner in Forest Residence and Xia Xiang. Now, when he thinks about it again, he is very moved. What other projects can show political achievements and improve the living environment of Yan City more effectively than the water system in the surrounding city? What are the ideas that can better promote the expansion of Yan City's urban area and drive population growth, increase employment, and promote the economy, etc. than the addition of a new district?

Xia Xiang is really a young man who cannot be underestimated. He is based on the leading group for industrial structure adjustment, but his eyes are very long-term. It can even be said that he is fully qualified to serve as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, and he is less than 30 years old.

A 27-year-old young man has this vision and a mind. As long as he is given an opportunity, he will not worry that he will not be able to do anything big. Ye Shisheng thought that he would be old in two years, either up or retreat. No matter what, he should have left some connections in Yan Province, and it would be better to return to Yan Province in the future, and some people remember his goodness.

It is time to properly support Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang has made a lot of efforts to adjust the industrial structure, and has also expressed his gratitude to him and reported his work diligently. Whether it is personal ability or behavior, he is more satisfied. In the long run, Xia Xiang has also gained Fan Ruiheng's trust. Fan Ruiheng will take over as secretary without any surprises. At that time, Xia Xiang will still have deep connections as long as she is still in Yan Province.

It’s admirable to think about it. Xia Xiang is not only capable and visionary, but also has a long-term layout when dealing with interpersonal relationships. She is really a young man who is so proud of himself.

Ye Shisheng admired a department-level cadre for the first time. It was good, because although Xia Xiang had connections, he was never arrogant or impatient, and still did his work sincerely. He also donated gifts to charity organizations after receiving gifts, which are all valuable qualities and always maintain a modest and cautious style. He is indeed a talent that can be crafted.

Ye Shisheng looked at Xia Xiang with a lot of love, a kind of affection between elders and younger generations.

"Your words are a good idea. After the second wave of reform is successful, and when the second batch of pilot cities are put on the agenda, if Yan City applies, I can consider it at my discretion." Ye Shisheng did not show the authority of the top leader as usual, but directly expressed his opinion to Xia Xiang. "Yan City is the provincial capital after all, and first of all, Yan City must report to the provincial party committee, and then the provincial party committee will study and decide. It is estimated that there will be resistance in the provincial party committee..."

Xia wanted to know that Ye Shisheng was worried about the strong opposition of the conservatives, so he gave Ye Shisheng a reassurance: "I believe Governor Fan also has a supportive attitude."

Ye Shisheng was relieved and nodded slightly and said, "At that time, we will have to have specific contact with the Yan Municipal Party Committee. There may be opposition within Yan Municipal City."

Yan City is a sub-provincial city. The province must also give Yan City three points. It cannot directly order everything, but instead use a negotiating tone.

Xia thought about Ye Shisheng's meaning and said, "Secretary Chen's view is more conservative, while Mayor Hu has a positive attitude. However, I am confident that I can convince Secretary Chen that I have known Secretary Chen for many years and I know more about his temper."

Everyone knows the relationship between Chen Feng and Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang doesn’t have to hide in front of Ye Shisheng, but instead directly says that he wants to convince Chen Feng, which is also a deep friendship that shows that he and Chen Feng can talk at will.

Ye Shisheng felt very relieved. Xia Xiang did not put forward difficulties and did not put forward conditions. Instead, he had to overcome difficulties everywhere. Creating favorable conditions was equivalent to giving him a gift. How could he not be relieved or happy? He smiled and said, "I hope that before I leave Yan Province, I can see the shimmering scenery of Xiama River, and I can see a new district rising from the ground between Yan City and Changshan County, and the wings of Yan City soaring..."

While speaking, Ye Shisheng's eyes were filled with yearning and he looked out the window.

In fact, to be fair, anyone who sits at a high position will have the idea of ​​asking for the people's lives and benefiting the people. However, in the process of implementation, there are always more or less resistance, or temptations in the process of governance. Many people will give up because of resistance and deviate from their original ideals because of temptation. Ye Shisheng went from initially wanting to spend his final political career smoothly without seeking nothing but seeking endlessly to implement industrial structure adjustments, and then to being forced to rise up and fight, and now being encouraged by Xia Xiang and Haide Chang, facing it bravely, and decided to put a perfect end to his political career. It can be said that he has gone through a journey of ups and downs.

Now that he heard Xia Xiang’s idea, he remembered the ups and downs of his life, and couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotion. From the county party secretary to the high position of the provincial party secretary, how many times have he given up his political views because of his concern for political enemies? How many times have he failed to insist on justice under pressure? Now that we have come to this day, whether it is for another step or for the ideal of truly serving as an official and benefiting the local area, we must unswervingly implement the adjustment of the industrial structure to the end.

Xia Xiang saw Ye Shisheng fall into deep thoughts and dared not disturb him, so he waited quietly. Suddenly, he heard the door ringing, and Ma Qiu pushed the door in a panic and said in a lost voice: "Secretary Ye, something happened..."

Ye Shisheng was interrupted and he was slightly unhappy: "What's the matter?"

"I just received a call from Secretary Xing. Zhu Jiyuan had a car accident on the highway..." Because of his nervousness and excitement, Ma Qiu's voice was a little distorted. He naturally knew who Zhu Jiyuan was and also knew the importance of this news to Ye Shisheng. "There is nothing to do with people, but the car was hit a little hard. When the police inspected the scene, they found that Zhu Jiyuan's car had 5 million yuan in cash in the trunk."

"What?" Ye Shisheng was shocked, "5 million cash?"

Ma Qiu nodded quickly: "Yes, in the face of the police's questions, Zhu Jiyuan cannot explain the source of the huge amount. Now the matter has been reported to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Because Zhu Jiyuan's identity is special and the amount involved in the case is huge, Secretary Xing asks you how to deal with it?"

After Ye Shisheng was surprised, he looked at Xia Xiang with a suspicious look. Seeing that Xia Xiang was surprised and unbelievable, he no longer suspected that it was Xia Xiang's work. Yes, how could Xia Xiang have such a great power that he could have created a car accident to expose Zhu Jiyuan? How could he know the time and place of Zhu Jiyuan's transportation of huge sums? The thought flashed by, and Ye Shisheng was overjoyed. It turned out that it would take a lot of trouble to win Zhu Jiyuan. Unexpectedly, it was not enough to get it.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Shisheng nodded to Ma Qiu, and Ma Qiu didn't say much and closed the door and went out. Before closing the door, he also looked at Xia Xiang meaningfully.

Xia Xiang sat upright with a calm look on his face. He couldn't tell what he thought about Zhu Jiyuan's car accident.

Ye Shisheng picked up the phone and called Xing Duantai directly.

After listening to Xing Duantai's brief report on the situation, Ye Shisheng gave three instructions. First, immediately control Zhu Jiyuan and deeply explore Zhu Jiyuan's problems. Second, the Discipline Inspection Commission should keep this matter confidential for the time being and not disturb irrelevant people. Third, Xing Duantai is personally responsible for the Zhu Jiyuan case and report to the provincial party committee at any time when there is any situation. If necessary, a joint case handling team should be established with the procuratorate.

Zhu Jiyuan is a department-level cadre. If he wants to touch him, even if the Commission for Discipline Inspection has obtained conclusive evidence, it must be submitted to the Standing Committee for discussion. However, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no one dares to speak for a person who has embezzled and accepted bribes of more than 5 million yuan. Ye Shisheng is an old official and knows that the most people pleaded for love in the early stage of handling the case. Once he was convicted, no one would speak.

Xia Xiang left Ye Shisheng's office and returned to his office, but found a cup of hot tea on the table, which was fragrant. He couldn't help but pick it up and took a sip, praising, "Dahongpao... Who knows that I love drinking Dahongpao?"

"Who else except me being careful and considerate?" Gu Yu smiled and pushed the door in, then tiptoed to close the door and whispered, "What happened to Zhu Jiyuan, have you heard of it?"

Seeing her as if she was guilty, Xia Xiang didn't feel funny and said, "Don't gloat, it's better to feel sorry for Comrade Zhu Jiyuan. What a good child from a poor family. He originally worked hard to improve and promoted his army to serve as a soldier. He has a bright future from director to director. It's a pity. It's still necessary to strengthen the education of ideological and moral values, strengthen the moral construction of party members, and strive to cultivate..."

"Okay, okay." Gu Yu reached out and made a pause gesture, interrupting Xia Xiang's words, "The tone of your speaking is getting more and more bureaucratic. I don't like it very much. It's even more secretary than the secretary. Tell us about our next move, is it to add fuel to the fire or to add fuel to the fire?"

Xia Xiangcai discovered that ancient jade also had a bad side and liked to add insults, so he said, "Our next step of work is to adjust the industrial structure. How to deal with Comrade Zhu Jiyuan's problems and how to collect evidence is the affairs of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so you don't have to worry about it. I want to ask you, do you have any acquaintances at CCTV?"

Qi Yanan asked about CCTV's advertising price, and the public quotation was naturally very high. He wanted to negotiate but didn't know anyone, so he turned to Xia Xiang again.

"I don't know, but I know someone I know, and you know her too?" Gu Yu was also interesting. He immediately stopped thinking about Zhu Jiyuan's affairs, but was led to CCTV affairs by Xia Xiang, "What are you doing? Do you want to show up on CCTV and become a celebrity?"

Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled, and said that the Taiwan winery wanted to advertise.

"It's right to find Mei Xiaolin. One of her classmates is the director of CCTV's advertising department. As long as she speaks, she can basically get a 30% discount on external quotations." Gu Yu is clear about CCTV's advertising tricks, and her jade business has also advertised a lot.

Since Mei Xiaolin was transferred back to the capital, she has not been on the phone with Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang always felt that there was a gap between her and she was not embarrassed to contact her, so she would not be able to say that she had ulterior motives. But advertising is of great importance, and it seems that she had to call Mei Xiaolin again.

Xia Xiang arranged the job for Gu Yu to be responsible for close contact with Yan Xiao, and contacted relevant media in the province about the binding publicity of Dancheng City, and made connections with them. Gu Yu liked Yan Xiao's personality, so he happily arranged it.

Xia Xiang calmed down and picked up the phone and called Mei Xiaolin.

Mei Xiaolin's voice sounded lazy and a little listless: "Hey, who?"

"Do you can't hear my voice, or have you not recorded my phone number?" Xia Xiang laughed and looked at it at 3 pm. Did she just wake up from her nap? She said, "Didn't you disturb your rest?"

"No... it's you, what's wrong?" Her voice was faint, neither far nor near, neither cold nor hot.

"Don't say, I really have something to do, please help me." Xia Xiang, regardless of whether Mei Xiaolin's attitude was deliberately alienated or pretending, he had no grudges in his heart, so he said directly, "I heard that you know the director of CCTV's advertising department? A friend of mine wanted to advertise on CCTV. I heard that you can get a 30% discount on the public quotation by finding the right person, so I asked you..."

Mei Xiaolin's voice did not fluctuate, but she still cared about what Xia Xiang was doing and chuckled and said, "You said Tang Xinmin? Of course I met her. She and her classmates - classmates in kindergarten, haha. Others can't get the 30% discount, but if I come forward, there will be no big problem. But you have to tell me if the person you are going to help is worth my help."

Xia Xiang pondered slightly and smiled, "You don't know him, but since I call you, it proves that I think it's worth helping him. Are you here? Just look at my face?"

Mei Xiaolin was silent. After a while, she said helplessly: "Can you find another reason to help you in the future? Don't make the simple relationship between us complicated!"

This was a bit inexplicable. Xia Xiang said innocently: "I don't understand. We were originally a simple relationship, but you thought it complicated. Now we are clean and have no connections, only a pure friendship. It is common for everyone to help. Why do you speak a little strangely?"

"You don't understand..." Mei Xiaolin wanted to say something, but then took it back in time. She suddenly felt a stir in her heart and almost lost it. She hurriedly suppressed her calmness and said, "Since you have spoken, I will definitely help. You will fax me the advertising plan of the Taiwan Winery. I will have a meal in the evening and have an interview with her."

Thanks to Mei Xiaolin and hung up the phone. Xia Xiang felt a faint feeling of loss. She always felt that Mei Xiaolin had changed, but she couldn't say what the specific manifestation was. After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out the key points, so she had to stop thinking about it. There were too many things, so she couldn't take care of Mei Xiaolin's thoughts.

After all, Mei Xiaolin is not a woman in his true sense.
