: A wave of failure

Qiu Xufeng thought about it and expressed his confusion: "I'm afraid our old man will not have that much face if he comes forward."

"What you want is not to convince Mr. Wu, what you want is to divert his sight, what you want is to let him know that the Mei family cheers for Xia Xiang on the surface, and the Qiu family secretly pleads with each other, so that the Wu family can feel Xia Xiang's weight."

Qiu Xufeng understood: "A slowdown plan? Minister Mei means, I will find a way to hold the Wu family behind the scenes. Do you come forward to support Xia Xiang in front of the stage?"

"Of course, I am a nostalgic person and have always had a good relationship with Xiao Xia. Now that he has trouble, how can he sit back and ignore it? The Mei family has always valued feelings, unlike some families, where interests are paramount." Mei Shengping didn't know whether to hit the Qiu family or mock the Fu family, and opposed him to his treachery about the marriage between the Qiu family and the Fu family. He naturally had to sarcastically mock him if he had the chance.

Mei Shengping couldn't see Qiu Xufeng's expression, but he could hear it from Qiu Xufeng's awkward cough. His words had achieved the desired effect, so he laughed and hung up the phone.

"How is it, is it exciting?" Mei Shengping nodded at Xia Xiang happily, "Eat, eat happily, there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome, don't worry. It's useless to be sad, you have to smile at tomorrow. If I take action, I will definitely get unexpected results."

Xia Xiang saw Mei Shengping as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. She wanted to come forward by the famous Mei Shengping, but she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. No matter which one it was, he could not refuse Mei Shengping's enthusiasm, so he had to say, "I don't know how to thank you for your help. You have always taken special care of me. I remember it in my heart. I am very grateful for the kindness of the leader."

"If you say more, you'll see you." Mei Shengping waved his hand, "In front of you, I don't tell lies, and I know that you can guess my intention. There is no need to say anything polite words like thanks and gratitude, and it's useless. Just remember one thing. Go to the capital in the future and visit Xiaolin more. After all, she needs a woman to comfort her. In my opinion, you are basically the one she trusts the most."

After going around again, Xia Xiang had no choice but to nod and respond: "Sure, certain."

Farewell to Mei Shengping and went home. Halfway through the way, he received a call from Qiu Xufeng. Qiu Xufeng first complained to him, blaming him for something different, and said that he obviously did not regard him as a friend. Then he said that he decided to ask Mr. Qiu to come forward and talk to Mr. Wu to calm down, and it would be best to stop...

When the matter was so troubled, Xia Xiang had to express his gratitude to Qiu Xufeng for his kindness, but he was a little disgusted with the old man who alarmed the Qiu family. Unexpectedly, Qiu Xufeng said: "My old man and the Wu family have some friendship. When they were young, they had a close relationship. Later, they gradually became distant due to political reasons. Now they have retreated, so there is not so much disagreement. Taking the opportunity to find an excuse to contact us is not a bad thing. Maybe you have done a good thing, because of your affairs, the two old men often walk around, which is also beneficial to their physical and mental health."

After Qiu Xufeng said this, Xia Xiang felt that Qiu Xufeng is indeed much better than before. Not only did he think carefully about his work, he also knew how to take care of others' emotions. He said with emotion: "I know it in my heart. Xufeng, I won't say much if I thank you..."

Qiu Xufeng smiled and said, "That's right, not to mention how much foreign capital you have introduced to Baoshi City, even for me personally, there are many places that benefit from you. Besides, in the officialdom, we are taking care of each other... I won't talk about it anymore, I won't talk about this anymore." As soon as the topic changed, he asked, "I only realized that Mei Xiaolin had a child. Is it a good thing you did?"

"Go, don't talk nonsense, I'm a good person, don't be tainted and innocent." Xia Xiang refused to admit it.

I blew a few more words before I hung up the phone.

Chen Feng's movements were fast enough, obviously he was worried that there were too many dreams. The next afternoon, Provincial Party Secretary Ye Shisheng, Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Mei Shengping and his party visited Yan City to inspect the work. Municipal Party Secretary Chen Feng, Mayor Hu Zengzhou, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Fu Xianfeng, Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister Fang Jinjiang and others accompanied him throughout the journey.

During his inspection of work, Secretary Ye and his party pointed out that under the current economic situation, in order to accelerate the construction of Xiama New District and restore the clear water and blue sky of Yan City as soon as possible, we must not only work hard on attracting investment, but also put our hearts into hiring people. We must dare to promote young people and be brave to innovate, so that business-minded cadres will preside over the work of Xiama District, which will help Xiama District be ahead of the city and even the province in ensuring the interests and benefits of investors.

Ye Shisheng also pointed out that since Xiama District is a new district, it must have the spirit of bold innovation, believe in the talents of young people, and give young people the opportunity to display. Now some cadres are rigid in their thinking, adhere to the rules, have no sense of innovation, and have no enterprising spirit, which has led to Yan City being called "Left City" in the whole province. Left-leaning ideas are unsuccessful. Now is the era of market economy. Everything needs to be effective from the market. If you want to be invincible in the tide of the market, you must change your thinking, discover your own shortcomings, study hard, improve your own quality and ability, and adapt to the times, otherwise you will eventually be eliminated by the tide of the times!

Ye Shisheng's speech was very purposeful and had obvious intentions. After hearing this, all the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee were secretly shocked and knew in their hearts what Secretary Ye said, which was obviously aimed at the out-of-control incident at the Standing Committee!

Secretary Ye’s intention to support Chen Feng is clear at a glance.

Ye Shisheng and Mei Shengping came to the municipal party committee to inspect the work. All members of Yan City took action to accompany him. Ye Shisheng's speech caused a great shock in everyone's heart. Tan Long couldn't help but look at Fu Xianfeng guiltily, but saw Fu Xianfeng with a calm look, as if he was talking about someone else, and he couldn't help but calm his mind a little.

Tan Long is not as good as Fu Xianfeng. He does not have a huge family power to rely on. His biggest reliance is Cui Xiang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Although he also has a backstage in the capital, he is basically not in the key department and has little power. In recent times, Cui Xiang has always been relatively low-key and rarely makes any moves in Yan Province. He just runs to the capital more frequently and doesn’t know what to prepare for in secret.

So recently, Tan Long has always taken Fu Xianfeng as the wind direction and followed Fu Xianfeng's pace.

Afterwards, Ye Shisheng held a small-scale meeting in Yan City. At the meeting, Mei Shengping made another important speech.

Mei Shengping's speech is completely Mei's style, short, powerful, and targeted.

"Comrades, Secretary Ye's instructions are very important and targeted. We should all carry out our work strictly in accordance with Secretary Ye's instructions. I will briefly put two points on the issue of personnel appointments in the current economic situation. The first point is to appoint people based on their merits and not nepotism. Under the current economic situation, only good cadres with ability, motivation and insight can better play their due role in important positions and make great contributions to the current socialist construction. Second, in the appointment of cadres, they can be appointed to better play their due role in important positions and make great contributions to the current socialist construction. Second, in the appointment of cadres,

, the importance of the Organization Department should be fully reflected. The Organization Department is a cadre home and a core department for the examination and assessment of cadres for the Party and the country. It can be said that no organization knows the growth process of a cadre better than the Organization Department, and no one knows better about which job a cadre is suitable for than the Organization Department. Even Secretary Ye often tells me that he usually presides over comprehensive work and has many places that cannot be taken care of. The cadres in Yan Province have all handed over to me. For this, I feel that the heavy responsibility is on my shoulders."

Mei Shengping's speech was to support Fang Jinjiang. The implications were self-evident. He agreed with the nomination of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

In the final analysis, it is still supporting Xia Xiang.

If Mei Shengping's speeches above were still stable, they did not cause much touch to many people, and what he said next would not be shocked, and many people who had not had much contact with Mei Shengping before experienced Mei Shengping's tough side for the first time.

"Say a few gossips below..." Mei Shengping's eyes stayed on Fu Xianfeng's face intentionally or unintentionally for a moment, then he raised his face and said very sternly, "Yan City is Yan City in Yan Province, not Yan City in Beijing. Everyone here is a cadre from Yan Province. Except for Secretary Chen and Mayor Hu, they are all provincial-level cadres. Because I am from Beijing, I will say a few off-topic words and treat it as a chat."

Fu Xianfeng could guess what Mei Shengping wanted to say, and he was suppressed by anger. Yet, among all of you here, there are provincial party secretary, organization minister, municipal party secretary and mayor. It was not his turn to speak, and he had to listen if he didn't want to listen!

Ye Shisheng also smiled very well: "Just hear Shengping say something, be serious and lively, haha."

Ye Shisheng smiled, and everyone agreed.

Only Mei Shengping did not smile and said with a serious face: "Since he is a provincial-level cadre, to put it bluntly, the assessment and promotion are all in the hands of the Organization Department. Without me nodding or Secretary Ye's approval, even if you want to be transferred to the capital, it is not that easy! I would like to advise everyone that it is right to look upward, but when you really do things, you should still put your position in the right place. Otherwise, if you are too ambitious, you will easily have the problem of hanging your feet in the air. What are the consequences of hanging your feet in the air? No need to say, you all know that before you go up, you will fall down first!...Okay, I'm finished."

Even Ye Shisheng was a little surprised. Mei Shengping's words were too straightforward and merciless. Even he felt that he had said it a little too much. But then he thought, who is Mei Shengping? He is a member of the Mei family, and he is the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization, with a key position and great power. Besides, he has always been independent and speaking a little harsh words is nothing.

However, Ye Shisheng was still puzzled by Mei Shengping's efforts to protect Xia Xiang.

Chen Feng has never had much contact with Mei Shengping, and Fang Jinjiang is the same. The two were deeply pleased with Mei Shengping's high-profile criticism of the Standing Committee against Xia Xiang's appointment, and felt that there was a glory on his face. After all, Mei Shengping's words meant that they gave them great support in public.

The members of the Standing Committee, including Fu Xianfeng, who voted against the vote, blushed slightly and did not speak. Everyone knows who Mei Shengping is. Not only is the director of the provincial party committee organization, but also the Mei family, who is second only to the Wu family. Moreover, Mei Shengping's words are true. No matter how strong or authoritative the Wu family is, they want to be promoted, even if they want to be transferred out of Yan Province, as long as Mei Shengping does not nod, no one can move!

Another point is that Mei Shengping is not the same as them, and he is not afraid of the Wu family!

Everyone realized sadly that they had become a sandwich pie without realizing it. If the two big families fought, they would be stuck in the middle and both ends would be angry. If they could not do it well, they would not please both sides. It would be really painful.

I also thought that Secretary Ye came to Yan City for inspection this time and did not express his opinion on the Standing Committee incident on the surface. In fact, every word of his speech was very dissatisfied with the fact that half of the Standing Committee members opposed Xia Xiang's appointment. Moreover, he almost said Xia Xiang's name in his speech on the construction of Xiama District.

Who is not a little bitch in his mind for Secretary Ye and Minister Mei to come to inspect today? For a moment, people's hearts were fluctuating and they were re-shaping their gains and losses, fearing that one would offend the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, and at the same time, the secretary of the provincial party committee and the director of the provincial party committee organization ended up unhappy. What good life would there be in the future?

As soon as Ye Shisheng and Mei Shengping's inspection work was over, Chen Feng immediately held an emergency meeting to deeply study the spirit of the speeches of Secretary Ye and Minister Mei. The meeting lasted until 9 pm and finally reached a consensus. In the future work, we must start from reality and not be too ambitious. The starting point of everything should be to take the interests of Yan City as the first.

After the meeting, Chen Feng was very excited and felt no fatigue at all. He even came to Fang Jinjiang to speak. In Chen Feng's opinion, everything was under control, and most of them were shaken. He happened to strike while the iron was hot and held another meeting tomorrow to decide the matter.

Fang Jinjiang came to Chen Feng's office, but he looked worried and said directly: "Secretary Chen, I suggest not to hold a Standing Committee meeting tomorrow, because Mayor Hu's attitude suddenly became ambiguous."

Chen Feng was stunned and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It was indeed that Hu Zengzhou didn't speak much during the meeting or during the separate meeting, and his attitude was a bit negative. He did not notice it at the time, thinking that it was because of the failure at the Standing Committee. He listened to Fang Jinjiang's reminder that even when Ye Shisheng and Mei Shengping had a meeting, Hu Zengzhou did not respond positively.

Could it be that Hu Zengzhou was also under pressure from the capital?

Chen Feng thought of doing it and immediately called Hu Zengzhou. Hu Zengzhou happened to be still in the office, so Chen Feng called him again.

When Hu Zengzhou entered the door on Monday, Chen Feng came to the conclusion from his expression. He calculated everything and did not count that Hu Zengzhou was shaken at a critical moment!

Sure enough, Hu Zengzhou was still quite responsible and gave the final statement directly: "I am sorry to Comrade Xia Xiang. I don't support or object to his position as secretary of the Xiama District Party Committee. My opinion is that it is more appropriate for Xia Xiang to be the district mayor."

After Hu Zengzhou finished speaking, he did not explain much, nodded and turned around and left.

Chen Feng and Fang Jinjiang looked at each other with a look of shock.

Hu Zengzhou was indeed helpless. He could not bear the strong pressure from the capital, so he could only compromise. He was not as strong as Chen Feng, and he was not as tough as Chen Feng in the background. He also knew that doing so would bring down Yu Xia Xiang, but there was no way. His roots were basically unstable. He forced Xia Xiang to the position and offended the backstage that was not close, which was equivalent to blocking the road to promotion.

But he couldn't explain to Xia Xiang without any explanation. Zhou Libo was also his person. He nominated Zhou Libo as district mayor. Now he had to let him give up his position for Xia Xiang. He even secretly worked with Zhou Libo.

The next day, another amazing news came from the Yan Municipal Party Committee that Bai Zhanmo had built a bridge for Xiama District from Wenzhou City, Xihai Province, and attracted nearly 20 billion yuan in investment!

20 billion yuan has exceeded twice the 10 billion yuan promised by Dacai Group. Bai Zhanmo's halo immediately completely covered Xia Xiang!

After hearing the news, Chen Feng immediately understood what was going on. Fu Xianfeng was indeed awesome and he was using a series of tricks. He first used the Wu family's hand to stop Xia Xiang's appointment, and then used 20 billion yuan to promote Bai Zhanmo's power. He took a two-pronged approach, leaving Xia Xiang's advantage without any!

The Wu family's actions were political pressure, and the Fu family's actions were economic power. With the combination of the two, great things can be accomplished.

But why did the Fu family insist on supporting Bai Zhanmo to the top? Who is Bai Zhanmo from the Fu family? It is worth Fu Xianfeng's careful planning and he must become the secretary of the district party committee?

If the Wu family had not come forward, Fu Xianfeng would not have been able to successfully support Bai Zhanmo. Fu Xianfeng's intelligence lies in leveraging the power and then adding fuel to the fire at the last moment. Basically, everything is developing according to the situation he planned.

Chen Feng sighed and miscalculated. The biggest miscalculation was Hu Zengzhou's turnaround. The pressure from Ye Shisheng and Mei Shengping had little impact on him. He was a cadre directly under the Organization Department of the Central Committee.

Chen Feng once again deeply felt the feeling of powerlessness. He knew that because of the dazzling halo brought by 20 billion funds and Hu Zengzhou's attitude changed drastically, the pressure brought by Ye Shisheng and Mei Shengping's inspections was resolved invisibly. He believed that if it was submitted to the Standing Committee for discussion again, Xia Xiang's appointment would be very likely to be rejected again.

What to do? The important power that Chen Feng has in his hands is to postpone the convening of the Standing Committee. He does not want to fail. Now Xia Xiang is closely linked to his authority through appointment. It is no longer a simple appointment, but a complete political event.

Chen Feng thought about it again and called the backstage of Beijing again.

To Chen Feng's surprise, when the Beijing backstage heard him mention the Xia Xiang incident again, he said indifferently: "When people get old, they get angry and go quickly, but after all, they are my leader, so I can't say what he is wrong with him, haha, he said another sentence - forget it - forget it, what the leader says is, I have to tell you the original words..."
