Xia Xiang was quite polite to Bian Xiuling, so he stood up to greet him.

The weather was getting colder, and Bian Xiuling wore a shirt and trousers, looking plump and mature. She first asked a few questions about work and life with a smile, and then expressed her intention: "The Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report that Comrade Wu Gangde had committed corruption and bribery during the process of land acquisition and demolition..."

Bian Xiuling only said one sentence, then shut up and there was no further information. According to the regulations, although the discipline inspection commission system belongs to the district committee leader, it has strong independence. Not to mention the district mayor, even the district party secretary, it is not easy to directly interfere with the affairs of the discipline inspection commission. Bian Xiuling's ability to reveal some relevant information to Xia Xiang was also giving Xia Xiang enough face.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

If Wu Gangde had committed corruption and bribery in the past, Xia Xiang believed it. But under the current circumstances, Wu Gangde would not have lost any political wisdom, otherwise he would not have lost a big deal because of a small mistake. I believe Wu Gangde knew very well, not to mention that he had embezzled and accepted bribery, as long as he had a bad job and made major mistakes, he would lose a lot in his eyes.

Xia Xiang believes that Wu Gang has to express his face to face, not to act like a show, but to be sincere.

Therefore, Xia Xiang did not believe that Wu Gangde would be corruption and bribery. He was reported by others, either Bai Zhanmo or Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei were doing behind his back. No matter who it was, the purpose was the same. He took the opportunity to attack Wu Gangde and his prestige.

If he guessed correctly, Mu Yunshan would be more likely, because Bai Zhanmo is busy with investment of 20 billion yuan and should not cause trouble on his own initiative. But Mu Yunshan may want to take the opportunity to disrupt the situation and take a test because he is dissatisfied with his failure to intervene in 20 billion yuan.

After Xia Xiangtong thought about it, he said with a smile: "The province has been busy recently, and Governor Song has been unable to take time. Last time I told him, he said he had a good impression of you and would meet again when he had the opportunity."

After hearing the news revealed by Xia Xiang last time, Song Chaodu stepped up his pace of activities and went to the capital several times in recent days. Xia Xiang also learned from Song Chaodu that the news was indeed true, and the central government also intends to airborne an executive vice governor, but he has not found out who was behind the scenes.

Bian Xiuling knew that Xia Xiang had accepted her affection, so she nodded happily and said, "Governor Song must be much busy. The big leader is the big leader..." She said halfway, and remembered Wu Gangde's affairs. She was worried and added, "Comrade Wu Gangde should pay attention to the people around her."

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Wu Gang had never made any mistakes when he was in the urban village renovation team. I also believed in his character and knew the importance of it..." He also stopped and did not want to talk too much about reporting. It is also necessary to avoid some things in the officialdom. "When will we have time? Let's sit together and get to know each other."

Xia Xiang was just polite, but Bian Xiuling immediately responded: "If you have time tonight, I will treat you."

Xia Xiang saw Bian Xiuling very enthusiastic. Knowing that she was a little worried about the cooperative relationship between him and her, it was difficult to refuse, so she agreed: "Okay, let him arrange it in the evening after I talk to Wu Gang."

Bian Xiuling left happily. She had just left shortly after, and before Xia Xiang could even call Wu Gang, Mu Yunshan showed up on his own initiative.

The work of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the district mayor is very rare, and there are not many topics between the Organization Minister and the District Mayor. After all, the Organization Department is a department of the Party Committee. Chao Weigang is a little confused today. Usually, the deputy district mayors and leaders of various bureaus come to report on their work. Today, why is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission first and then the Minister of Organization? District Mayor Xia seems to be the mayor Xia now, not Secretary Xia.

Chao Weigang has little political knowledge, so he is a little complacent, thinking that the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Minister of Organization have reported to District Mayor Xia one after another, and District Mayor Xia is the actual top leader. He is looking forward to the day when Xia Xiang becomes secretary early, and his status will also rise. I heard that the secretary's secretary can attend the Standing Committee, which is so exciting. The Standing Committee is the core of power.

Xia Envision knew Chao Weigang’s thoughts, he would definitely criticize him severely. Because Chao Weigang looked at the problem too superficially, Bian Xiuling came because of her personal relationship. Mu Yunshan came because of her bad visitors, so she must have invested 20 billion yuan.

Xia Xiang guessed it. After discussing with Teng Fei, Mu Yunshan asked Hu Zengzhou for instructions and decided to come forward again to try to impress Xia Xiang because he believed he had enough trump cards.

Mu Yunshan first asked politely, and then he said his intention directly: "District Mayor Xia, I still think that the 20 billion investment in Changji Trading is completely dominated by the district committee, which is not suitable and is not in compliance with the norm. Minister Teng and I discussed it and asked Mayor Hu, and finally came to the conclusion that I still want to suggest you change your mind and intervene in the supervision of the 20 billion investment. For the long-term plan of Xiama District and the economic construction of Xiama District, you need to do this. Minister Teng and I expressed support to you at the Standing Committee, and I believe that Secretary Bai can compromise."

Xia Xiang originally thought Mu Yunshan was a person who liked to be implicit, but he didn't expect that he would speak straightforwardly and directly put forward his point of view, which surprised Xia Xiang slightly.

Hu Zengzhou was brought out, implying that Hu Zengzhou was the backstage of him and Teng Fei, and there must be a backup plan and other exchange conditions. Xia Xiang asked with great interest: "Does Minister Mu and Mayor Hu have a good relationship?"

Mu Yunshan could also guess that Xia Xiang was a smart person. He must have known the relationship between him and Hu Zengzhou, so he did not hide it. To be honest, "I have always been taken care of by Mayor Hu, and Mayor Hu is my old leader."

The old leader pointed out that the relationship was very shallow. Xia Xiang knew it and asked again: "Minister Mu is very enthusiastic about the investment of 20 billion yuan. As the Minister of Organization, it seems to be a bit beyond the scope of his work. Is there any explanation?"

Xia Xiang saw Mu Yunshan express his intentions directly, so he didn't ambush him and asked directly.

Mu Yunshan did not expect Xia Xiang's problem to be so sharp. He was stunned and said, "I strongly advocated that District Mayor Xia supervise 20 billion yuan in investment in order to maintain the stability and unity of Xiama District. Although I am the Minister of Organization, I am also a member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and have the right to make suggestions."

Xia Xiang laughed: "You have legitimate power. I mean, everyone understands people. Besides the reasons for being selfless, what is another reason?"

Mu Yunshan opened his mouth wide. District Mayor Xia was too implicit and too direct. Could it be that he wanted to tell District Mayor Xia that he wanted 20 billion yuan to become the fuse of the discord between the secretary and the district mayor?

Yes, everyone can say the big words with a noble face, but under the pretext of being open and upright, who doesn’t have a deep selfish desire? But if you know you, Mu Yunshan knew that Xia Xiang could probably guess what his selfish desire was, but if he could guess it was Xia Xiang’s problem, whether he said it or not was his problem.

Of course, I still can't say it out loud.

"If you have to find a private reason, from Mayor Hu's perspective, he is more willing to seek common ground while reserving differences with Secretary Chen rather than with Secretary Fu." Mu Yunshan's speaking skills are also quite high. What he said is seeking common ground while reserving differences rather than getting closer, which proves that it is limited cooperation.

Xia Xiang also believed that what Mu Yunshan said was the truth. Hu Zengzhou was more willing to cooperate with Chen Feng in major events, because although Chen Feng was strong, he did not have the insidiousness of Fu Xianfeng. As the beneficiary, Hu Zengzhou, as the beneficiary, would not be much grateful to Fu Xianfeng, because he was taking this opportunity to see clearly Fu Xianfeng's character, which was very cunning, and if he was not moved, it would be a fatal blow. Unless those who cooperated with Fu Xianfeng, unless they obeyed him, would not be willing to stay under others with Fu Xianfeng's character.

Hu Zengzhou is the second-in-command of Yan City, and he is even more unwilling to be under Fu Xianfeng. It is understandable that he was suppressed by Chen Feng, after all, Chen Feng is the secretary of the municipal party committee. If he cooperates with Fu Xianfeng and is suppressed by Fu Xianfeng, it would be too embarrassing. Therefore, in fact, there is almost no possibility of joining forces between Hu Zengzhou and Fu Xianfeng.

Of course, cooperation in some small matters is still possible. But on top of big matters, there are very few places where Hu Zengzhou and Fu Xianfeng seek common ground while reserving differences.

But since Hu Zengzhou chose to keep a distance from Chen Feng, his future cooperation with Chen Feng is really seeking common ground while reserving differences. It is a limited cooperative relationship to seek common interests and compromises in major matters, and to concessions in minor matters.

Xia Xiang saw Mu Yunshan's attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, but he admired him a little more, and then nodded and smiled: "The reason is that it is very sufficient, but it is not enough to impress me. You are also a smart person, and you must also know that I have made concessions to Secretary Bai, and I must have my own plans. Minister Mu, you must show enough sincerity..."

There was a hint of fun and expectation in Xia Xiang's smile.

Mu Yunshan originally wanted to propose Shi Changle's affairs as the last killer weapon, but after a few words, Xia Xiang was forced to have no way out, so he had to show his trump card in advance: "Xiama District has just been established, and everything needs to be allocated by superiors. If District Mayor Xia insists that the district government should supervise 20 billion investment, not only can the municipal finance take care of the district finance, Shi Changle will also obey District Mayor Xia's suggestions in everything, but at the Standing Committee, Minister Teng and I will also agree with your proposal."

The conditions are quite generous. He temporarily gained two allies and had financial initiatives. No matter how you calculate it, it is a cost-effective business. It is indeed a good place for the Xiama District to be established, there is no tax revenue yet, and he is very dependent on the financial appropriations of superiors. However, Xia Xiang is very good at making plans and is clear about the benefits of actively delivering them to the door. There have always been hidden traps, because there is indeed no good thing about pie falling from the sky, and he is not moved at all.

20 billion investment is an apparently dazzling political achievement, but in fact it is a big quagmire. Even if the 20 billion investment is a real investment, it is coming to do business and build factories, Xia Xiang may not necessarily want to get a share of the pie with Bai Zhanmo. He is not a person who likes to steal other people's credit, and he can do everything for his political achievements. He has ways to obtain political achievements. Of course, his deeper concerns are still not wanting to let 20 billion become the fuse between him and Bai Zhanmo.

Xia Xiang would certainly not reveal his true thoughts to Mu Yunshan. He just stared straight at Mu Yunshan for a while, and then smiled softly: "I understand Minister Mu's kindness. Some things can be done on the surface, just like the conversation you just said and said, it's very good, very straightforward and easy to understand, and it's convenient to communicate. But if you do some bad moves in secret, there will be no foundation for cooperation. The premise for me to cooperate with others, first of all, we have to see if the partner is worth dating... Is there anything else in Minister Mu?"

Although Xia Xiang smiled, Mu Yunshan felt a hint of chill from his words and subconsciously moved his footsteps.

He had always stood steadily, and he felt that speaking while standing would show his determination, so he never sat down. But Xia Xiang's words seemed to have weight and pressed directly on his shoulders, making him feel like he was unstable.

Mu Yunshan looked at Xia Xiang in disbelief. Seeing Xia Xiang's young face full of confidence, he had a illusion that he felt that the person in front of him was not the 28-year-old district chief, but a senior official who was in charge of everything!

Xia Xiang not only rejected him, but also expressed his strong dissatisfaction with him secretly. For a moment, Mu Yunshan was a little lost. How did Xia Xiang guess that he was instructing someone to report Wu Gangde, and then took the opportunity to blame Bai Zhanmo so that Xia Xiang would feel dissatisfied with Bai Zhanmo. Under his inspiration, he re-mentioned the government's supervision of 20 billion investment?

It shouldn't be that the reporting incident was perfect. Even if Bian Xiuling revealed the news to Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang could not guess that it was his and Teng Fei's work at once. What went wrong?

Mu Yunshan tried to calm down again, but was caught off guard by Xia Xiang and was stunned on the spot.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with him. He was deceived by Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang estimated that Bai Zhanmo would not provoke him now because he had made the biggest concessions in the 20 billion investment. Bai Zhanmo now wants to let go of all trivial matters, just to repay him. Because Xia Xiang also knows that Bai Zhanmo is not a person without political wisdom. The last time at the Standing Committee stated that as long as he insists on supervising the 20 billion investment, he will be approved by the Standing Committee.

Unless Bai Zhanmo uses a veto, he will lose a defeat at the Standing Committee, which will be the biggest blow to his secretary's authority.

Under the current circumstances, there is no need for Bai Zhanmo to anger him secretly. Besides, Bai Zhanmo may be all his energy now, so how can he have time to be idle and instruct others to report Wu Gang behind his back? Unless he is dizzy.

Of course, Xia Xiang could not confirm whether it was Bai Zhanmo's work based on analysis. He just said casually to Mu Yunshan, and he also wanted to give it a try. Since Mu Yunshan came here, don't miss the good opportunity to test.

As soon as he saw Mu Yunshan's stunned expression, Xia Xiang knew that he had bet right, and it was really Mu Yunshan's moves, and he felt a faint anger in his heart. There were many conspiracies and open conspiracies in the officialdom, but Xia Xiang was deeply disgusted with the action of a knife behind him because of Fu Xianfeng's conspiracy. Mu Yunshan was Hu Zengzhou's man, and Hu Zengzhou left him at a critical moment, which made it even more difficult for him to accept Mu Yunshan's impulse and secret force.

Seeing that Mu Yunshan had not recovered, Xia Xiang smiled again and said, "I like honest people, but I don't like people who are inferior to others."

Until Mu Yunshan returned to his office, he felt a little dizzy and a little confused. Before meeting Xia Xiang, he thought that with his political wisdom, he took two measures, one dark and one bright, and pretended to be honest in front of Xia Xiang, and expressed sincerity directly, so that he could definitely gain Xia Xiang's favor and then negotiate with him.

After a few words, Xia Xiang completely took the initiative, and in a few words he got his trump card, pointed out that he was instructed to report Wu Gangde's affairs, and refused his suggestion without hesitation, and even issued an order to expel him!

Looking back on Xia Xiang's attitude at the Standing Committee, Mu Yunshan shuddered. Xia Xiang's performance today was completely different. He was not weak or had no political wisdom. He was simply a political genius. He not only fully grasped the rhythm of the conversation, but also completely fiddled him in his palms.

Mu Yunshan finally knew that Xia Xiang had no voice in the Standing Committee against Bai Zhanmo. He was deliberately trying to show his weakness to the enemy. It was not that he did not want to intervene in the 20 billion investment, but that he must have other plans and would definitely get the greatest benefits than intervening in the 20 billion investment.

Mu Yunshan remembered his previous contempt for Xia Xiang and his report after deciding to interview Xia Xiang, Wu Gang tried to blame Bai Zhanmo for his failure, and couldn't help but sweat.

Miscalculation, big miscalculation!

Mu Yunshan immediately called Teng Fei and asked him to come to meet and discuss countermeasures.

Xia Xiang was not worried about how Mu Yunshan would take the next step. He had enough confidence and skills to deal with Mu Yunshan, and he also believed that Mu Yunshan would learn from his mistakes and should be restrained for a while.

Xia Xiang immediately let Wu Gang come to his office.

Wu Gang had to hear Xia Xiang's orders, so he dared not be negligent, so he arrived in a hurry. When he heard Xia wanted him to pay attention to the people around him, he would not get into the real world, and immediately realized something was wrong and asked: "Leader, is someone behind my back?"

Xia Xiang just nodded and didn't say it out loud.

Wu Gang had to stay in the officialdom for many years, and he could not hide his political sense of small tricks and conspiracies. His tricks of slandering people were much better than Xia Xiang. He thought about it and said viciously: "Please rest assured, leader, I have clean hands and feet, and I will never do anything that I am sorry for the trust of the leader. Some people want to slander me for being ugly to the leader. Humph, they made the wrong plan!"

Xia Xiang laughed: "I'll have a meal with Secretary Bian tonight and get to know each other."

Wu Gangde immediately understood the important role Bian Xiuling played in it, and immediately smiled: "I treat you, I treat you."
