Chapter 515: Between Gains and Loss (Part 1)

In mid-December, Ye Shisheng presided over the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. After heated discussion, he unanimously passed a resolution to approve the proposal submitted by Yan City on the construction of a water city and the addition of a new district. As an extension of Yan Province's industrial structure adjustment policy, Yan City's two major projects are given policy and financial support as key projects in Yan Province!

As a result, the Yan City's great stride was officially kicked off.

Soon, Yan City invited experts from Beijing and abroad to conduct comprehensive planning and design for Xiama District, which Yan City has officially ordered the new district to be Xiama District, and has completely adopted Xia Xiang's nomination, striving to make Xiama District the most comfortable and perfect new district with comprehensive functions, complete facilities, and both living and working.

At the invitation of the Yan Municipal Government, Xia Xiang also partially participated in the planning of Xiama District.

At the same time, various investment promotion work in the Huancheng Water System and Xiama District is in full swing. After a series of bidding and bidding, Vision Group finally stood out and became the developer of the Huancheng Water System.

After New Year's Day in 2003, the Yan Municipal Government determined the Dacai Group, Vision Group, Jiangshan Real Estate, Qishi Group, Shanshui Company, Jicheng Real Estate and Tianan Real Estate. As the first batch of investors to settle in the new district, each of them determined the investment projects.

It can be said that the speed of investment promotion in Xiama District is unprecedentedly fast. Because Xiama District has not yet officially established the district party committee and government, Deputy Mayor Gao Hai is temporarily presided over the investment promotion in Xiama District.

Regarding the establishment of the Xiama District Committee and District Government, the Municipal Party Committee decided to formally propose discussions after the Spring Festival.

In fact, as early as the city decided to establish Xiama District, many people were moved to inquire about the establishment and composition of Xiama District. Yan City, as a deputy provincial city, has a deputy department-level position. Yan City and Yan Province are the most lacking in the city. The number of department-level cadres in Yan City and Yan Province is a large number of department-level cadres. Suddenly, such a great opportunity is present. Who is not moved? If you are not moved, you are not a person in the officialdom or a fool! Countless people have tried their best to inquire about the inside story. Not only are the large number of department-level cadres who believe they are qualified to walk around, but even some deputy department-level cadres who are not very satisfied in their original positions have been moved. If they want to move, they have used their unique skills and pleaded with others. They all want to get a job in the district committee and government of Xiama District.

Even some deputy department-level cadres knew that they could not join the Standing Committee and wanted to get a deputy district mayor or the top leader of an important department. In short, as long as people who are barely qualified, they are all very worried about thinking about which leader to give, how many gifts to, etc. But no matter how troublesome they are, they have to fight for it. The opportunity is too rare. Suddenly, countless deputy departments and deputy department-level positions are added. It is unimaginable to put them in the past. After all, the locations in the province and the city are limited, and there are too many people, and they can't even grab one. Now, there is an extra district organization out of thin air. Such a big cake, of course, it will be a bloody thing to grab!

Moreover, after the establishment of Xiama District, not only did Yan City's policy preferences, but also the provincial financial support. Basically, as long as you enter the Standing Committee of Xiama District, it is equivalent to picking up a heavy political achievement. It is simply a great thing to throw pie from the sky. As long as you can enter, you can get it.

Everyone has a share in the face of interests. You must grab it. If you don’t grab it, you won’t grab it. If you don’t grab it, you won’t catch it. But if you don’t grab it, you will never have a chance.

Therefore, all officials of the corresponding level of Yan City and even the entire Yan Province had various restless thoughts. Everyone knew that Yan City made a decision to discuss personnel after the Spring Festival, which was undoubtedly a wonderful move, to leave time for everyone to do during the Spring Festival. Some even maliciously guessed, well, this Spring Festival, many people were very fulfilling and rich, and they would receive cramps in their hands when receiving gifts.

Unlike many officials who tried every means to prepare for gifts, Xia Xiang, who was the initiator, was not busy at all... After the Spring Festival holiday, he just called Chen Feng and Hu Zengzhou, as well as other familiar people from the municipal party committee. He first greeted New Year's greetings, and then talked about some relaxed topics, but did not mention important personnel issues in the horse area.

Because Xia wanted to know that from the moment he started to promote the establishment of the Xiama District, he had enough weight in Chen Feng and Hu Zengzhou's eyes, and at the same time, he also had a hook in Ye Shisheng's mind. He also understood that Chen Feng and Hu Zengzhou were not particularly greedy officials, and were very principled, and knew what to do and what not to do. Moreover, at their current level, they valued reputation, future and wealth.

Not to mention Ye Shisheng, although he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, the personnel issues in Xiama District are within the authority of the municipal party committee. He will not directly extend his hand to Yan City, which can easily arouse Chen Feng's disgust. And after all, a municipal district at the deputy department level is not worth his worries. Xia Xiang also knew that in order to avoid some unnecessary favors, Ye Shisheng had decided to go to the capital for the New Year.

As for other matters, Xia Xiang didn't have to worry about it. He called what he should have and sent a wish to deliver it. He planned to spend a good New Year peacefully because he knew that when the New Year next year, his family would have an extra population and would definitely have a very noisy life.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. First of all, in order to protect Cao Shunian, his parents proposed not to return to Dancheng, and their parents wanted to come to Yancheng for the New Year. In fact, Xia Xiang understood that it was the New Year, but in fact, it was still to visit Cao Shunian. To be more practical, it was because his parents were eager to ask for grandchildren and to visit their future grandchildren. Their parents had to obey their parents' orders, so Xia Xiang had to accept it.

Secondly, Cao Yongguo and his wife, who had already agreed to stay at home for only two days, accidentally heard about Cao Shunei's pregnancy. Xia Xiang and Cao Shune had agreed not to tell Cao Yongguo and his wife first, and planned to talk about it after the New Year to avoid everyone's chaotic situation. As a result, the little girl was still heard by the mature Wang Yufen while talking to Wang Yufen. They also decided to go back to Shancheng for only one day and then stay at home in Yancheng for three days.

Yes, Xia Xiang thought sadly that this year's Spring Festival will definitely not stop. He originally planned to fly to Hainan with the little girl, revisit the old place again, and then find a place to stay quietly for a few days. Of course, in his wishful thinking, he had to stay in the capital for two days and get together with his son. Unfortunately, the out-of-season of his parents on both sides made all his plans ruined.

In life, filial piety is the first priority. The so-called filial piety means obedience. Xia Xiang accepted the arrangements of his parents and began to prepare for the New Year. He was too lazy to buy things, and he didn't want Cao Shuyan to work, so he instructed Cao Shujun to buy them. Cao Shujun got the guarantee of Xia Xiang's pocket money and went to work happily with his girlfriend Meng Shuiyao.

Cao Shugui was very dissatisfied with Xia Xiang's approach, because Xia Xiang gave Cao Shujun 5,000 yuan as soon as she reached out, and the things she told her to buy were at most 3,000 yuan, which means that Cao Shujun earned a difference of 2,000 yuan in just half a day. The little girl blamed Xia Xiang for being too accustomed to Cao Shujun.

Xia Xiang understood Cao Shujun's current predicament very well and said, "Shujun is in love now. Although he can't be a big deal, he has to make him a little bit of money. Only when men have money can they have confidence." As he said that, he thought of Meng Shuiyao, who is lively and smiling, and asked curiously, "Meng Xiaoyao is Shujun's girlfriend? I think the little girl is pretty good, careful, lively, and well-educated, much better than the few he had found before. His vision was really bad, and the girlfriends he found were all interested in his identity as the young master of the municipal party committee secretary, and wanted to enjoy his success."

"I know people, but not my heart. Meng Shuiyao is really as good as you said? I don't think so." The little girl didn't agree with Xia Xiang's opinion very much. "I think she is too careful. You also know that the more careful the girl is, the more scheming he is. Shujun has no scheming, so don't fall into her gentle trap."

"That's right, I have to remind him not to follow in my footsteps." Xia Xiang said seriously.

"Okay...you, what do you mean is that I was tempting you first? Do you have the ability to say it again?" The little girl Yixi Yiyi said to Xia Xiang angrily.

Xia Xiang waved his hand calmly: "I won't say good things twice!"

"You...you don't want to deal with you!" The little girl acted like a blow, but Xia Xiang hurriedly took out the cushion to block it. "Dongdong" and heard the knock on the door.

It was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Who would it be? Xia Xiang opened the door. The door opened. There were two or three unknown men standing at the door, all of whom were grim. As soon as they saw Xia Xiang, they asked: "May I ask, are you Mr. Xia Xiang?"

Xia Xiang was stunned. Who is so arrogant? He spoke hard and his attitude was very stiff. Despite his displeasure, he nodded and said, "I am, what's the point of doing you?"

When the few people heard this, they immediately changed their expressions. Everyone smiled and nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Xia Xiang, we are entrusted by someone to deliver New Year's goods to you."

When they spoke, they seemed to be magical. As soon as they turned around, they moved out a few boxes from behind and sent them into the door without saying a word.

Before Xia Xiang could find out what was going on, several people had already put down their things very quickly, left a card and left. Xia Xiang looked helpless. The gift was scary at the beginning and amazing at the end. Who was so creative?

A few words were written on the card: "The little New Year's goods are not respectful... the old thief."

Feng Xuguang's nickname is Lao Thief!

Xia Xiang was laughing silently. Why did Feng Xuguang do this sudden attack? He even had a creative idea of ​​forcing gifts to leave quickly. He really had his smile. Xia Xiang called Feng Xuguang and scolded him a few times.

What made Xia Xiang most gratified was that although his relationship with Ma Wanzheng is still lukewarm, his friendship with Feng Xuguang has not been affected at all.

I took a look at the New Year’s goods sent by Feng Xuguang, and I had everything I should have and what I shouldn’t have. I quickly called Cao Shujun and told him not to buy anything anymore, otherwise he would be wasted if he couldn’t finish it.

Xia Xiang's phone call was exactly what Cao Shujun wanted, so he disrespectfully accepted all the 5,000 yuan. Xia Xiang didn't say much. As his brother-in-law, he really didn't care enough about Cao Shujun and rarely gave him pocket money. Just like the New Year's money he gave him during the New Year.

What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that the New Year's goods sent by Feng Xuguang seemed to have a good start. As soon as he said a few words to Cao Shuyan, people started to come to the door to give gifts in a steady stream.

The first one is Zhong Yiping.

Because of Xia Xiang's strong recommendation, Zhong Yiping went to An County to serve as a member of the Standing Committee and the Party Secretary of the Township. It can be said that he opened the door to the real career in one step. He remembered his gratitude to Xia Xiang and did not dare to forget it. He greeted Xia Xiang and gave gifts as soon as the holiday was on.

Zhong Yiping's gift was two bottles of good wine, good cigarettes, and 20,000 yuan in cash. Xia Xiang saw him looking cramped and smiled: "If you think about giving me money in the future, don't enter my house. I help you down because I think you are a person who can do practical things. As long as you do things with your heart and don't have to think about anything you want to repay me, I will be happy in my eyes."
