Chapter 609: Both shocked and happy

The doctor said that because Lao Qian was hit by the blunt part of the shovel and did not form a large-scale cut, the injury recovered faster than expected.

Lao Qian's wife complained that Lao Qian shouldn't do stupid things at first. Later, she saw everyone around Lao Qian, giving money, goods and houses, and having several jobs casually. Basically, she could get good jobs by sitting there. She had to rely on her family for the rest of her life. When she saw Lao Qian being treated like a hero by everyone, she was happy again, feeling that her man had been cowardly for the rest of her life, and finally she was proud.

After the villagers of Xiaodou Village came, people sent Lao Qian different local specialties, local eggs, stewed firewood chicken, etc. every day, which made Lao Qian feel the warmth. He is also the son of a farmer. He experienced the simple emotions of the villagers and knew that they were all grateful to District Mayor Xia, so he talked about Xia Xiang’s deeds with the villagers.

The villagers only realized that no wonder Lao Qian sacrificed his life to save people. It turned out that District Mayor Xia had saved his life before. When Lu Laojue heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Good man, a great man. As soon as I saw him, I thought this young man was honest and reliable, so I believed him."

The sound of Lao Qian chatting and laughing with the villagers reached Kang Shaoye's ears next door, making Kang Shaoye feel uncomfortable all over. But he had no way to stop others from talking, so he had to endure the constant news about Xia Xiang's deeds. All of Xia Xiang's good things, all of which were done by Xia Xiang, which made Kang Shaoye feel tight and short of breath every day, and sulking alone every day.

Compared to the lively and warmth in Lao Qian's ward, almost no one came to visit his ward. Except for the first day after Bai Zhanmo and several members of the Standing Committee of the Xiama District came, then there were old colleagues and friends from the past, and no one cared about it. Bai Zhanmo was busy and couldn't take care of it. The others had finished the formalities, who would pay attention to him? The rest were Xia Xiang's lines. Not to mention looking at him, it would be good to just show him a look.

It's really a world of ice and fire. A dignified deputy secretary of the district party committee, and after he gets sick, he is not as good as a worker. Kang Shaoye's mentality is extremely unbalanced, angry and anxious, and his condition gets better and worse.

Compared with the treatment of Lao Qian being surrounded by warmth and Kang Shaoye being neglected, Xia Xiang can be described as surprises during his time at the General Political Department Hospital.

On Tuesday morning, the sun is beautiful, which is a rare and good weather. In late autumn, the scenery of the capital is beautiful, with high sky and light clouds and clear blue sky. The mood of summer is much better. Of course, it makes him feel even better. There is Cao Shugui on the left and Lian Ruohan on the right. The two beauties accompany each other and enjoy the blessings of the whole people.

The only thing that made him depressed was that there was a third party - Xia Dong. Xia Dong was a little bad. Although he didn't know anything, he had a monopoly mentality. As long as Cao Shuyan feeds Xia Want to eat, he cried. At first, Xia Xiang could tolerate him, but later Xia Dong became more and more arrogant, and even Ruohan had to cry a few times. Xia Xiang was annoyed and pretended to hit him on his butt a few times, saying viciously: "I warn you, stinky brat, you have to understand one thing, you are the third party. Your mother must first become my wife, and then she can become your mother. So, don't compete with her father for mother, do you know?"

Cao Shuqiu and Lian Ruohan were overjoyed. Xia Dong seemed to be frightened by Xia Xiang. He stared at Xia Xiang for a full minute, then curled his lips and cried loudly, without giving Xia Xiang any face.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to return Xia Dong to Cao Shuyan, shook his head and said, "The little guy has been against me since he was a child. When he grew up, he has to clean up his body."

Xiao Wu and Feng Meimei were laughing from the side. Xia Xiang saw them circling with each other, so he sincerely joked: "When will we get married? Don't have ambiguous every day. Some things still need to take a critical step."

Xiao Wu scratched his head: "Meimei said she didn't want to get married, so she had to investigate me again..."

Feng Meimei played Xiao Wu's brainstorming: "Works with women are a big event in their lifetime, and they must be cautious. If you are stupid, I will consider it again. If you find that your IQ is too low after getting married, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"

"I am the boss of Jiangshan Real Estate. No matter how low the IQ is, there are many beautiful women around me. If you don't have a bond, I will find another beauty who will marry me immediately?" Xiao Wu rarely held his head up in front of Feng Meimei. He probably felt that he could not lose face in front of Xia Xiang.

But Xia Xiang doesn't feel that Xiao Wu is confident no matter how he listens.

Feng Meimei smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth: "You are still beautiful women? Do you think you are District Mayor Xia? Or do you think beauties have big breasts and brainlessness, and they will fall in love with you? Go, dream in the daytime!" Then she stretched out and twisted Xiao Wu's arm, "Wake up, it's dawn, don't sleep."

Lian Ruohan smiled at the corner of her eyes, looked at Xia Xiang with affectionate eyes, and reached out to make a position to twist Xia Xiang. Unexpectedly, Cao Shugui's hand had already twisted it.

The curtain was brought to life with the laughter of several people in the morning.

After breakfast, Xia Xiang wanted Xiao Wu to go and take a walk, but he couldn't always guard him, so Xiao Wu refused. Fortunately, the special protection room was big enough, equivalent to a two-bedroom and one-living house. Although there were a lot of people, he didn't feel crowded.

At around 9 o'clock, Xia Xiang received a call from Li Qin.

Li Qin reported to Xia Xiang about the recent trends of Changji Trading. Because Changji Trading has been doing frequently recently, she has repeatedly contacted Jiangshan Real Estate and Tianan Real Estate and has proposed an intention to acquire it, so she asked Xia Xiang for the next step of action.

At the same time, Li Qin also heard about Xia Xiang’s injury. After reporting on her work, she would not ask about other people’s private affairs with her personality. After enduring it, she still couldn’t help it and asked: “I heard that you were injured, is there anything wrong?”

Xia Xiang heard the concern in Li Qin's words and smiled and said, "It's okay, a little scratch is healed, thank you for your concern."

After hearing Xia Xiang's polite answer, Li Qin was confused and stunned. She asked, "Does Jiangshan Real Estate and Tianan Real Estate continue to let Changji Trade purchase?"

Basically after a period of contact, although Li Qin was not sure about Xia Xiang's thinking direction, she could guess a little bit. She knew that when Changji Trading's funds did not pour in 10 billion, Xia Xiang would definitely continue to release Changji Trading's hot money, and welcome it.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, but said, "The price increase is 15%, let's talk about it after the reaction of Changji Trading."

"Changji Trading will definitely not accept it, because since they acquired the first property until now, housing prices have only risen by less than 5%. raising the price by 15% at once is equivalent to completely keeping Changji Trading out. I don't understand this rash approach." Li Qin said her confusion without hesitation.

"I just want to test Yuan Mingliang's patience and appetite, to see how confident he is in real estate in Xiama District and how much psychological endurance he has for the increase in housing prices. If he is confident enough and believes that within one year, the housing prices in Xiama District can increase by more than 20%. Although he will not accept our offer at once, he will definitely find a suitable opportunity to sit down and negotiate. If he doesn't even have interest in negotiations, we will be a different matter..."

"What if Yuan Mingliang is scared away?" Li Qin still didn't understand Xia Xiang's risky strategy.

"You don't know men, you don't know men, haha." Xia Xiang laughed, "especially men with a huge amount of 20 billion yuan in their hands. Men are born to want to control the world. Whether they are rich or powerful, as long as they have one of them, most people will have the spirit of giving up whom. Of course, if you feel that you give up whom you have a certain degree, you will become arrogant. Although Yuan Mingliang is not arrogant, he definitely has the confidence to control everything. Don't worry, he won't run away. He has 20 billion yuan. He will think that he has enough strength to play with us in his palms, and he will be scared away by the small price increase?"

Li Qin understood Xia Xiang's tactic of playing hard to get: "What is our bottom line?"

"How much can you stick to, 5% is not too little, and 10% is not too much. Since you want to sell it, you will naturally have to make a big profit to make a fortune. It can be considered as getting some appetizers from Changji Trading first. Also, inform Shen Lichun to ask him to raise the price by 20%!"

"What if housing prices rise in response to the noise and lose control then?"

"No, I have a trick, just do it." Xia Xiang didn't want to explain to Li Qin more, although he knew that maybe explaining his plan to Li Qin, maybe the execution would be better. But some key secrets are better in his own hands. Men do like to control everything.

Hanging up Li Qin's phone call, Xia Xiang turned around and said to Lian Ruohan: "How much money does Vision Group have to mobilize now?"

Lian Ruohan lowered his head and thought: "I guess there is not much money on the books, which is about 1 billion. If you need money, you can transfer it from an American company..."

"No need." Xia Xiang waved his hand, "You can also get rid of the tiger's skin if you have more than 1 billion yuan. Go back and discuss with Mr. Gao, let Yuanwang announce a high-profile investment of 5 billion to enter the real estate market in Xiama District, and build a low-rent housing at medium and low prices..."

Lian Ruohan looked at Xia Xiang deeply: "Why do I think you are so bad the more I look at you?"

"You only knew he was bad?" Cao Shuyan giggled, "He is good on the surface, but in fact he is so bad inside."

Xiao Wu stopped doing it: "The leader is not bad. The leader can save Lu Laojue regardless of his own safety in times of crisis. He is the person I admire most in my life."

Xia Xiang smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you, if I knew someone was sneak attacking behind me, I would have skipped and dodged. The key is that I didn't find anyone behind me at that time."

"Ah?" Lian Ruohan exclaimed, "So, is your act of self-sacrificing yourself to save others false?"

"It can't be said to be fake, after all, it happened, right?" Xia Xiang smiled like a trick, "It was too late when I found out. I was taking off my shirt at that time. It was inconvenient to turn my upper body, and it would be impossible to hide anymore... In fact, the real hero is Lao Qian. He wants to save me even though he knows the consequences. It is much nobler than saving people without a choice."

Speaking of Lao Qian, Xia Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

Cao Shuqiu also said: "When you go back, thank you very much. What a good worker, I will sacrifice my life to save you, and I will be your benefactor."

Xiao Wu would not allow others to say that Xia thought was not at all, and even Cao Shuyan could not do it. He hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the leader, Lao Qian would have died long ago. It was his leader who was his life-saving person. He saved the leader, but was just repaying his kindness."

Lian Ruohan couldn't understand the affection between Xia Xiang and the workers, but she was also moved by Lao Qian's actions: "It's time to thank him. When I go to Yan City, I will give him a villa, an Audi and 5 million cash. Is it enough?"

A sentence made Xiao Wu secretly stun his tongue, thinking that the leader’s deputy wife is too bold, and it can only move tens of millions of yuan, which is too scary. Old money can’t be afforded, and those who are used to poor life may not be a good thing to get rich all of a sudden.

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "I'll arrange my future life for Lao Qian, so you don't have to worry about it..." Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of messy footsteps outside, and the sound seemed to be coming towards Xia Xiang's ward.

There were at least seven or eight people. Xiao Wu hurriedly opened the door and saw an amiable old man standing at the door. The old man looked thin and asked with a smile: "Would Comrade Xia Xiang live in this ward?"

Although Xiao Wu had never seen the person in front of him, he saw him almost every day on TV. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, his mind was blank, and he almost lost his reaction. He opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't say a word!

Xia Xiang reacted the fastest, and he could hear who the person was. Although he was very shocked and extremely flattered, he immediately jumped up from the bed, regardless of his hospital uniform and slippers on his feet, and looked at the door with fear and fear: "Prime Minister, why are you here?"

He Dongchen stood at the door and asked jokingly: "Why, isn't you welcome?"

Xiao Wu realized that he had blocked the road and hurriedly went to the side, not even speaking fluently: "General...Prime Minister, hello, I was shocked and didn't wake up. Don't be surprised!"

He Dongchen laughed and had a good impression of Xiao Wu's truth: "Haha, wasn't the young man scared by me?"

Xiao Wu was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Prime Minister, I, I am mainly too excited, I love you so much..."

He Dongchen smiled, flashed in, held Xia Xiang's hand, and said with emotion: "Comrade Xia Xiang, you really don't worry. Look, how many people's hearts have you touched when you are sick?"

The Prime Minister's words were half complaining and half condolences, which made Xia Xiang feel warm. He had met the Prime Minister on TV many times in later generations, and knew that the Prime Minister was a warm Prime Minister of people's livelihood, elegant and funny, and was known for caring for people's livelihood and being deeply involved in the people. He had no airs and could be as close as a commoner.

So as soon as the Prime Minister said, he was not surprised and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern. I promise to work honestly in the future, serve the people diligently, and not worry about it."

"Haha!" He Dongchen smiled and pulled La Xia Xiang's arm, "If you benefit the country's life and death, how can you avoid misfortune and good fortune - it is also my motto. As a party member and cadre, if you cannot always put the people first and set an example, what else can we talk about serving the people? Comrade Xia Xiang, you have done a good job and are right, and have given a good start to all party members and cadres!"

Behind the Prime Minister, Yi Xiangshi and Guyu stood there, and several staff members. Guyu didn't pay attention to the people and thought to Xia, and he blinked. What does it mean? Even the Prime Minister has come to see you. Are you content?

Xia Xiang was really content. In fact, he also knew that the Prime Minister should not have come to visit him specifically, but was passing by. But the time and method of passing by were particular. I realized one thing after careful consideration. With Lao Gu's ability, there were many military hospitals, but they were arranged in the General Political Department Hospital, so there must be an explanation.

Sure enough, Master Yi Xiang said in time: "The Prime Minister came to visit an old comrade today. Gu Yu said that you were also hospitalized in the General Political Department Hospital, so he insisted on visiting you specifically."

Xia Xiang knew the meaning of elegance when she heard the string song, so she hurriedly expressed her sincere thanks. He knew that the Prime Minister accidentally visited him today, but in fact, it was actually the carefully arranged elements of Lao Gu. Gu Yu deliberately met the Prime Minister, Yi Xiangshi's narration, etc., a series of events were carefully planned. No matter what, the purpose was achieved and the effect was released, it was successful.

There are so many unintentional things in the world that people intentionally do, so there is no need to pursue them too much. What is true or false in the officialdom, who can tell them clearly? As long as you achieve your own wishes and achieve the results you want, it is a rare good thing.

The Prime Minister asked in detail about the scene that happened at that time, and Xia Xiang answered one by one. When it came to the critical point, the Prime Minister focused his attention and looked nervous. When it was moved, the Prime Minister's eyes were filled with tears and a solemn expression.

"The people and workers are the simplest people. As long as the officials have a little bit of heart for the people, they will remember it in their hearts." The Prime Minister said earnestly, "Comrade Xia Xiang, you have done a good job and continue to carry forward your style, serve the people, contribute to the country, and benefit the people."

The Prime Minister looked around the people present. Although there were not many people, he said with emotion as if facing countless people: "I always believe that officials from ancient times to the present have ambition to serve the country, "I have no acre of body, but I am worried about the world; I have read thousands of volumes and communicated with the ancients" to the first realm. When I truly understand the sufferings of people's livelihood and go deep into the people, and truly achieve the same heart and happiness with the people, I will reach the second realm - "Let's breath last and cover up my tears, mourn the hardships of people's livelihood". But even if we know the difficulties of people's livelihood, we must move forward bravely and resolutely "establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past sages, and open peace for all ages". Regardless of whether personal abilities can be achieved, we must always have a loyal heart and only ask about the journey of return."

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Xiang with deep eyes and reminded him: "Comrade Xia Xiang, I believe you can become a good cadre for the country and the people in the future!"
