Chapter 497
: Unexpected surprise
Cheng Xixue also stood up and applauded with a smile on his face. Although he lost a lot today, he lost by Xia Xiang's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, and by Xia Xiang's strategy of talking about everything, out of respect for his opponents and out of praise for Xia Xiang's ability to adapt to changes, he still gave Xia Xiang the applause he deserved for Xia Xiang's wonderful performance.
Cheng Xixue understood that today, at this time, if Xia Xiang argued with him about economic issues in person, even if he was barely invincible, as long as several experts in the audience took turns to ask him questions, Xia Xiang's lack of theoretical knowledge would still be unable to escape the failure. It was precisely because he was attracted by this that he deliberately promoted Xia Xiang to the stage, just to let everyone step on him. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, moved everyone present with his affectionate and heartfelt words, and won the favor while winning!
No matter what, Xia Xiang can handle it calmly and turn defeat into victory, and he is a respectable opponent.
Respect your opponent is respecting yourself.
It was not until Xia Xiang supported Zou Ru, Yan Xiao and Fan Zheng left and right, and the four of them disappeared at the door, that Cheng Xixue woke up as if he was dreaming, and wanted to sit in the fifth row Luo Linkai and Wu Linsen. When he looked up, he saw that the two had disappeared at some point.
Cheng Xixue couldn't tell what it felt like, a great event... His hard work actually made a footnote to Xia Xiang, which became Xia Xiang's event and made Xia Xiang's reputation. It was really unpredictable! He was unwilling to give up. He felt that he did not lose, but was just cleverly escaped by Xia Xiang. If he had a head-on confrontation, he would admit that he still had a chance to win! He was not convinced and must find another opportunity to return it!
He almost had an attack on the spot to vent the resentment in his chest.
Just to take into account his identity, Cheng Xixue still smiled and sent away every expert professor...
After leaving the CUHK, Yan Xiao asked Xia, "You seem to have shed tears just now?"
Xia Xiang shook his head firmly: "No, you read it wrong."
Yan Xiao was happy: "You will cry when you cry. It is caused by love. Men also have tears, which is not a shameful thing..." She ignored Fan Zheng and Zou Ru's presence and said affectionately, "You are very powerful and have first-class eloquence. I admire you."
Xia Xiang looked calm: "The most fear of serious things in the world. Once you are serious, the other party will show timidity."
This time I came to Beijing to complete three things. First, Xia Xiang handed over the graduate school homework to Mr. Zou, second, Zou officially accepted Yan Xiao as a student, and third, he took advantage of Cheng Xi's opportunity to give a speech. Xia Xiang made a name for himself. This trip was worthy and he gained a lot.
Mr. Zou was also very happy. He praised Xia Xiang for a rare long time and said, "I have arranged the manuscripts of the three of you, and I will be in the newspaper tomorrow. I don't know if Cheng Xixue was disrupted by you today. I am depressed and still have the energy to write an article to refute it? Haha..."
After saying goodbye to Mr. Zou, Xia Xiang and his party did not return to Yan City directly, but first went to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics. The process of meeting Yi Xiangshi was quite smooth. As an enlightened minister, Yi Xiangshi's style of conduct was quite friendly and not bureaucratic. Of course, Xia Xiang also had his private phone number and went to his minister's office directly with his permission.
Master Yi Xiang was also very surprised by the visit of the Three Musketeers. He recently read the articles of the Three Musketeers, and he echoed each other's articles and supplemented each other's views. Of course, the articles of the three can only be considered medium-level, and cannot be compared with the sophistication of experts and scholars. But the wonder is that the three people take action together, with moderate offense and defense, and each has its own emphasis, forming an iron triangle that is not easy to break.
Yi Xiangshi and the three of them talked for a while, and Xia Xiang told him about his purpose of coming. As soon as Mike signed an agreement in China was revealed, he wanted to ask the Foreign Trade Department to keep it confidential and not to disclose it to any news media.
Yi Xiangshi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What? You meant to be planning a big move? Companies often ask the Ministry of Foreign Trade to keep the agreements they signed confidential. My view has always been that serving enterprises is the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and there is nothing to refuse."
"But..." Yi Xiangshi was indeed as Xia thought. After saying generously, he suddenly smiled softly again, "Xiao Xia, you are not an outsider. I will keep it a secret for you, and you have to do something for me."
Xia Xiang knew that Yi Xiangshi was not that easy to talk to, so he had to say helplessly: "What are the instructions from Minister Yi? Even if you speak, don't say that you are the minister, I am the director. Even if you are your elder, I have to obey without saying anything, right?"
Yi Xiangshi knew that Xia wanted to carry Wu Caijiang out to hint him that it would be too difficult to ask for a difficult problem, so he smiled and said, "What a slippery person. If you put forward the conditions first, can't you agree generously once?"
Fan Zheng and Yan Xiao laughed aside, just sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight.
Yi Xiangshi put away his smile and said formally: "At the beginning of next year, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs and Trade will reorganize it into the Ministry of Commerce with other ministries and commissions. I want to second you to come to the Ministry for a while. How about it?"
Xia Xiang was stunned. Yi Xiangshi's proposal was too sudden, and he had no idea.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I understood Yi Xiangshi's original intention. Needless to say, it must be Wu Caijiang's idea. Wu Caijiang might have realized something and used the name of being transferred to the Ministry of Commerce to let him avoid the limelight, or perhaps he wanted to enrich his qualifications so that he could walk better in the future. Since Lian Ruohan agreed to let his son's surname be Wu, Wu Caijiang has become obviously enthusiastic about his future, and he also intends to train him as a member of the Wu family, and has begun to make plans for his next step.
Fan Zheng and Yan Xiao both thought Xia Xiang would definitely not agree, but Xia Xiang was just a little stunned, and then nodded in agreement with a smile.
At the agreed location, the four of them returned to Yan City. Fan Zheng and Yan Xiao were both puzzled by Xia Xiang's request to Yi Xiangshi, but neither of them asked much. Fan Zheng was busy introducing Gu Yu to how he attacked Zhang Yang's arrogance and how he won the favor of all the girls present in a casual manner. Yan Xiao lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Gu Yu listened to Fan Zheng's speech with her curious big eyes, and said lightly: "They are all little girls who have not left school. With your charm, it is lethal to them..."
Fan Zheng couldn't speak for a long time after a word.
Back in Yan City, Xia Xiang arranged Mike's visit again without stopping. After everything was arranged, he made an appointment with Qiu Xufeng to meet in Bao City the day after tomorrow. As soon as he put down the phone, he heard the news that Governor Song was going to hold a plenary meeting of the leading group.
The leading group did not have a special conference room, so they borrowed the office of the General Office of the Government. I thought that only Song Chaodu was attending the meeting, but I didn't expect that Fan Ruiheng suddenly appeared in the venue halfway through the meeting.
Song Chaodu conveyed the spirit of the three instructions of the provincial party committee and government. First, the industrial structure has been adjusted to a critical moment. Comrades must work hard and complete every task assigned by the superiors. Second, in view of Comrade Xia Xiang's outstanding work achievements, they will be commended. Third, the leadership group adjusted the division of labor. Because the deputy group leader Comrade An Yixing's job is relatively busy, after Comrade An Yixing's proposal and approved by the provincial party committee and government, it was decided that Comrade Xia Xiang would preside over the daily work...
It is basically equivalent to formally confirming Xia Xiang's dominance.
Fan Ruiheng's unexpected appearance pushed the meeting to a new climax. Fan Ruiheng looked at the spring breeze and said with a smile: "I just received instructions from Secretary Ye. Secretary Ye was very satisfied with Comrade Xia Xiang's performance in the Great Hall of the Capital. He took the time to call me in his busy schedule and asked me to convey his condolences and congratulations to Comrade Xia Xiang. Secretary Ye said that Comrade Xia Xiang has made unremitting efforts to safeguard the reputation of Yan Province and deserves commendation..."
Everyone looked at Xia Xiang with envy and confusion, not sure what amazing actions Xia Xiang had made.
Xia Xiang couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so he had to express his gratitude to Fan Ruiheng. Ye Shisheng's news was well-versed, and the scene from the Central Hall reached his ears so quickly. As expected, he was the secretary of the provincial party committee and had many eyes.
Ye Shisheng's relief and joy were expected by Xia Xiang. He worked so hard to maintain the industrial structure adjustment of Yan Province, and also won the praise of countless professors and scholars present. It was equivalent to a unique and important publicity for the industrial structure adjustment of Yan Province, and it was an extremely rare positive publicity. Under normal circumstances, even Ye Shisheng was respected as the secretary of a province, he could not invite so many experts and scholars to gather together.
In fact, what made Ye Shisheng the most happy was that Xia Xiang made Yan Sheng famous or borrowed the east wind from Cheng Xixue. Cheng Xixue was equivalent to making wedding clothes for Xia Xiang. What would it look like? Cheng Xixue had just named Yan Sheng and criticized Yan Sheng by name in the National Daily. In just a few days, Xia Xiang won the game in person, and borrowed his carefully planned speech. Ye Shisheng was proud when he thought about it, and only regretted that he had not seen Cheng Xixue's frustrated expression on the spot.
In addition to feeling relieved, Ye Shisheng attaches great importance to Xia Xiang. A subordinate who is not only hard-working and capable, but also a subordinate who can always help the leader in time and comfort him. He is definitely a subordinate who is always remembered by the leader.
Leaders are also human beings. In the mind of leaders, you have both ability and winks, and you can also think about your leaders everywhere. When you are promoted, you are the first priority candidate for leaders.
Compared with Ye Shisheng's joy, Fan Ruiheng was also quite pleased that Fan Zheng could also show his face in the hall where professors and scholars gathered. Xia Xiang is not only Fan Zheng's junior, but also his friend. Fan Ruiheng was also sincerely happy that Ye Shisheng praised Xia Xiang.
When Xia Xiang was about to go home when Gu Yu mysteriously came to the front and whispered: "Grandpa said, you haven't said hello to him for a long time, and he is very dissatisfied with you."
Xia Xiang laughed: "Didn't I ask you to ask him? Why are you still so stingy? Next time I go to Beijing, I will definitely go see him, okay?"
Gu Yu said "um" and suddenly said, "Grandpa introduced me to a partner. He is a soldier. I heard that people are very energetic. Do you think I want to meet?"
"See you, of course you have to see you." Xia Xiang said without hesitation, "Your grandpa's vision will not be bad, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a boyfriend."
"But..." Gu Yu looked at Xia Xiang for a few times, wanted to speak but stopped, but waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, and you won't understand if you say it."
Xia Xiangcai was too lazy to ask Gu Yu what he wanted to say, so he smiled and turned around and went home.
Open the door of the house, the living room was on, but no one was there. There were fragrant meals on the dining table, with only a pair of chopsticks. Xia thought about it, what is the mystery of the little girl? Is she trying to tease him again? As soon as she sat down to eat, she found a note on the table with the words: "The rice is on the table, I am on the bed..."
The latter sentence is rich in meaning, and the little girl is becoming more and more romantic. However, in the face of both physiological and psychological hunger, Xia still has to solve physiological hunger first, so she eats a full meal first before tiptoeing upstairs.
When I got upstairs, I touched the bedroom, but found the little girl lying on the side of the bed, reading a book under the desk lamp. She was dressed very neatly, which made Xia Xiang slightly disappointed, and said, "I thought you were waiting for me to do good things on the bed, but I didn't expect that the clothes were all there, and there was no temptation at all..."
"Temptation you a big-headed ghost!" The little girl laughed and threw the book in her hand to Xia Xiang, "Don't touch me in the future, I'm going to separate from you."
Xia Xiang was surprised: "What's wrong, you have an affair?"
Before he finished speaking, another pillow flew over, and the little girl said anxiously: "You don't want something good? Why are you crazy and messy? What affair? If you talk nonsense, I will ignore you again."
Seeing that the little girl was really angry, Xia Xiang hurriedly smiled: "Test your loyalty. You said you reacted so fiercely, as if you were really dedicated to me? But explain, what exactly is your hint in bed?"
The little girl turned her head aside: "I have always been a passionate woman. If I don't concentrate, are you still loyal?" The smile on her face was a little proud and happy, "There is no hint, I want to go to bed and rest. From now on, I sleep upstairs and downstairs, and we will not overflow the river..."
Xia Xiang was shocked. Why did the little girl copy what he said to Yan Xiao? Could it be that the story was revealed? It is impossible. Nothing really happened between him and Yan Xiao, and the matter was strictly confidential. How could anyone know?
What does the little girl mean? Which one did she play?
He put down his pillow, his eyes fell on the book in his hand, and suddenly realized it and hugged the little girl in his arms: "Didn't you lie about military affairs this time? Did you really hit it?"
"Of course it's true, but what you said is so ugly. It should be said that it is my credit and has nothing to do with you." The little girl raised her head proudly and glared at Xia Xiang.
"No matter how fertile a piece of land is, if there are no good seeds, the land cannot grow crops. Land is often found, and good seeds are hard to come by. Therefore, a happy and happy life is still created by men."
"Go, the man is satisfied, and he turns away. It will take ten months for a woman to work hard. Women are suffering. They are as proud as a princess on the day of marriage, but the depreciation is so fast that it will be in the sky and the earth overnight."
"Who said it? I'm consistent with you, and I've always held it in my palms whether before or after marriage."
"Hmph, it sounds nice. On the day of marriage, I was still a bride, and the next day I became my wife. A new generation changed from new to old, which was a little too fast, right? A woman is a princess for one day, a queen for ten months, and then a lifetime of hard work!" The little girl has also grown up a lot in life, and the emotion she expressed is quite philosophical.
Xia Xiang let her say yes. After all, pregnancy does mean ten months of hard work for any woman. In ten months, she has to treat them like queens. But thinking about the little girl never grows up, she didn't expect to be a mother, and she also felt a little incredible. Seeing her delicate and cute little model, he wondered whether she would be in a hurry after having a child? Is it a bit funny to hold a child with a big child?
However, seeing the little girl's happy expression, Xia Xiang knew that among the three women in his life, the little girl looked the weakest, but in fact she was the most patient, resilient and tolerant, and she was also very adaptable.
"In fact, compared with women, men are the most tiring. Because women are the land, men are old ox." Xia Xiang pretended to be deep and said with emotion.
"What does it mean?" The little girl's face showed Xia Xiang's favorite curiosity, both innocent and evil.
"Only the exhausted cows, no broken land!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment. After waking up, she immediately turned red: "You are such a big hooligan, a little pervert!"
"..." Xia Xiang kept laughing.
On the third day, Xia Xiang accompanied Fan Ruiheng to Baocheng and officially signed a joint venture agreement with Mike's Sunshine Company. Because the governor attended, Mike was overjoyed and knew that Xia Xiang was not at a high level, but had a certain influence. After signing the agreement, Mike did not stop and flew back to the United States that day.
Saying Mike away, Xia Xiang and his party were going to return to Yan City. Bao City Party Secretary Cao Yongguo, Mayor Ren Qingzhi, Deputy Mayor Qiu Xufeng, and other members of the Standing Committee all came forward to see Fan Ruiheng off. Fan Ruiheng waved his hands and bent down to get on the car. Xia Xiang saw that the leaders were all getting on the car. He was about to bow his head and was about to get on the car. Suddenly, the door of Governor Fan's car opened, and Secretary Zhang Zhibin showed his head and shouted to the back: "Director Xia, come and take Governor Fan's car. Governor Fan has something to say to you."
Xia Xiang quickly got into Fan Ruiheng's car.
The governor specially summoned Xia Xiang to take the same car with him. Whether it was something or not, it was a strong political signal and a meaningful hint in the eyes of everyone present. Cao Yongguo narrowed his eyes and smiled calmly on his face. Other members of the Standing Committee of Bao City were secretly envious, and a director also asked the governor to personally invite him to get on the car. It was said that Xia Xiang was deeply cared for by Secretary Ye and Governor Fan at the same time. When he saw him today, there was indeed a rumor.
