Planning

In the eyes of politicians, interests are always supreme. Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't ask the Wu family to fully accept him, but just hoped that he could get together with Lian Ruohan and Xiao Lianxia more.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu finally agreed to Lian Ruohan taking care of him inseparablely, which gave him enough face.

Let’s talk about what happened in the future. Xia Xiang believes that Mr. Wu is a politician. He is now just a twilight old man and has a human side. His affairs with Lian Ruohan have made the Wu family lose face. At least his actions have brought a lot of benefits to the Wu family, and it can even be said that it is an extremely rare benefit. I believe Mr. Wu will know it.

As for the scenes between Mr. Fu and Fu Xianfeng today, he could only watch them. Anyway, he knew that it was not really performed for him. Mr. Wu appreciated him and didn't care whether he had any affection. There were still many accounts to settle the grudges between him and Fu Xianfeng, and he had to settle them slowly.

So when Mr. Fu took out a gift from him and insisted on giving it to Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang pretended to refuse and accepted it. Anyway, Mr. Fu would definitely be a good thing, so don’t want it for nothing. For people like Fu Xianfeng, you can’t be polite. If you don’t take the benefits of delivering them to your door, you will be a fool.

Xia Xiang didn't see what Mr. Fu was in his hand, so he handed it to Xiao Wu. He did a good job of superficially and sent Mr. Fu to the stairs before returning. As soon as he turned around, he found that Mr. Xiao Wu stood there in a daze.

"Why are you stunned?" Xia Xiang laughed and scolded.

Xiao Wu handed the thing in his hand to Xia Xiang and said, "It's a jade pendant with two people carved on it, it seems to be two ancients...what does it mean?"

Xia Xiang took it and saw that it was Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, but it was not the scene of Lian Po apologizing to Lin Xiangru, but the pattern of the generals and ministers being in harmony.

Xia Xiang laughed. It would be too much for him to sue him for his own status. The reunion of generals and ministers is not very much missing. It is indeed not easy for Mr. Fu to do his best. Just accept it. After all, the jade in Mr. Fu's hand should not be ordinary.

As soon as she returned to the room, Lian Ruohan, Cao Shuqiu and Gu Yu came back from outside together. Feng Meimei was also there. Xia Xiang asked Gu Yu to identify the quality of the generals and ministers in his hand.

Gu Yu glanced at him a few times and suddenly screamed: "This is an ancient jade, priceless. If it is sold for auction, it will be worth at least 3 million... Who gave it to you?"

Xia Xiang talked about Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu Xianfeng coming to visit him.

Cao Shuyan snorted softly: "The weasel wishes the chicken a New Year, but he is not kind. You are the same. You want to give gifts to others. Your eyelids are too shallow. I bought you for only 3 million. I have earned more than 3 million a year."

Gu Yu also said: "You are still short of money? Really, you know it's Fu Xianfeng's hand and you still receive the gift from the old man. Do you want to shake hands with the Fu family?"

Lian Ruohan knew the grievances and entanglements between several major families. After thinking about it, he understood something and smiled: "The generals and ministers are in harmony? Interesting! Lend me to use it first and go home to show my grandfather."

Xia Xiang saw Lian Ruohan understand the meaning and smiled: "They are also kind-hearted, 3 million, a huge sum of money. If I don't accept it, I will slap in the face in person. The old man has come forward, and I, a junior, have to give you three points of thin air whenever I say it. Not only did I collect jade, but also fruit."

Cao Shuyan said angrily: "Xiao Wu, please take out the fruit and throw it away."

Xia wanted to know that the girl from Nai was angry about dealing with the family, and she was so angry that she said, "Don't throw it around, it's best to give it to beggars. No industry is easy now, and the competition in beggars is very fierce now."

Xiao Wu went out with a smile.

If Fu Xianfeng knew that the fruit basket he carefully purchased had become a beggar's supper, he would probably feel a little frustrated. But what annoyed him even more was that Ye Shisheng came to the capital for a meeting the next day. After the meeting, he went to the hospital to visit Xia Xiang first, and then met with the Fu family. During the meeting, although they had a good conversation, Ye Shisheng did not make a clear statement on the selection of Yan City Organization Minister, which made Fu Xianfeng feel unsure and always felt that something had happened. It seemed that Ye Shisheng's attitude was a little ambiguous.

Lian Ruohan returned the jade pendant to Xia Xiang the next day and conveyed a sentence from Mr. Wu: "It is normal for people to get old, and it is normal for them to be confused occasionally."

Xia Xiang knew that the battle between the Wu family and the Fu family should come to an end temporarily. The Wu family has already gained enough benefits. When the Fu family bowed their heads, the Wu family would become bullying by power, which would cause dissatisfaction among others. Stopping at this time is both a rational approach and a wise move.

Unexpectedly, Lian Ruohan's words aroused his feelings again, and he felt that in front of the Wu family, his strength was still too small. Fortunately, he still had a complex and solid network of relationships and stood upright, otherwise it would be really difficult to have a foothold in front of Wu Caiyang.

"I met my father when I got home today. He asked about your condition and praised you with a rare word..."

"What are you praising me?" Xia Xiang still cared about the attitude of his father-in-law in name.

"If you are more self-disciplined in women's issues, you are a rare honest and good official!"

Xia Xiang smiled: "It seems that there is more ironic..." Suddenly I realized that something was wrong, "Clean official? Is he checking my financial problems behind my back?"

Who is Xia Xiang? I immediately thought of the new provincial discipline inspection committee secretary Li Yanhong and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "He is right. The woman I know is both rich and beautiful, so I can only make style problems but not financial problems. In this way, finding a beautiful and rich woman can at least ensure that she makes fewer mistakes!"

As a result, Cao Shuqian's little hand was placed on Xia Xiang's arm without hesitation, and Lian Ruohan also reached out and twisted Xia Xiang's ear. The two of them said in unison: "Who else do you want to find?"

Xia Xiang had just glanced at Gu Yu, but Gu Yu was so scared that she was so scared that she turned around and ran away: "Don't make any decisions about me. Although I meet your conditions, I can't beat Sister Lian and Sister Cao."

The whole room was laughing.

Fortunately, the sound of the phone helped Xia Xiang get rid of the siege. It was the call from his parents.

I originally wanted to hide it from my parents, but because Wang Dapao showed his side in Dancheng, he immediately asked Dancheng to be full of soldiers and mobilized the whole city, and Xia An immediately knew the truth. As soon as Xia An knew, his parents knew, so the two elders insisted on coming to the capital to visit Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to persuade them again and again, so that they could give up their thoughts.

The two elders called again today, but they were still worried about Xia Xiang's injuries. Xia Xiang said a few words, but they didn't believe it, so Xia Xiang had to hand over the phone to Cao Shune. Cao Shune explained a few words to the two elders, saying that Xia Xiang was really okay, she was alive, and could eat and drink, but she was still happy.

Finally, Lian Ruohan came forward and said a few more words. The two elders were completely relieved. They knew that Xia Xiang had Cao Shuli and Lian Ruohan around them, and it would be the same whether they came or not. However, after my mother asked about Xia Xiang's condition, her mind moved to Xiao Lianxia. She said how many words she would say, how tall she grew, how much meal she had to eat, and how much she had to ask about everything, completely in the tone of grandma caring about her grandson.

Even Ruohan had to answer one by one in a very rare way, very patient, not annoyed at all, and talked with relish. Cao Shuxin looked at Lian Ruohan from time to time, with complex eyes, and sometimes he looked at Xia Xiang for a few glances. His eyes changed, and he would kick him gently from time to time, or simply stuff Xia Dong into Xia Xiang's arms.

How could Xia Xiang not know the little girl’s little thoughts? She scratched her hand a few times, which made her want to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh, for fear of quarreling at Lian Ruohan’s call, so she glared at Xia Xiang a few more times.

Gu Yu was depressed and kicked the sofa boredly, while kicking, while whispering something. The voice was very low and no one could hear it. Xia Xiang accidentally heard a sentence: "I hate you, Xia Xiang..."

Lian Ruohan called for five minutes, and finally Xia Dong was dissatisfied. He first yawned and then started crying. As soon as Xia Dong cried, Xia Xiang's mother's thoughts fell on Xia Dong again, asking Cao Shugui to answer the phone.

As a result, Cao Shuyan said it for more than ten minutes.

Lian Ruohan hugged Xia Dong, teased Xia Dong for a while, and glared at Xia Yao for a while. Xia Yao sighed deeply, how unfortunate he was, today, the venting bucket of the girl from the young man and Lian Ruohan.

...

Deep in the capital, there is a villa that is not luxurious but absolutely quiet.

Wu Caiyang held a black man in his hand and hesitated for a long time before he left a son. As soon as he made a mistake, Li Yanhong on the opposite side laughed and Bai Zi fell: "Caiyang, you are distracted."

When Wu Caiyang saw it, he looked annoyed and abandoned his son: "I can't concentrate, and I can't concentrate anymore."

"Why, it's because of Xia Xiang?" Li Yanhong got up and poured a cup of tea for Wu Caiyang and handed it to him, "His injury is not serious. Don't worry, it will be cured within three days."

"I don't care about his life or death." Wu Caiyang took the tea, wanted to drink it, but then put it down. The anger at Xia Xiang was still at the end of his heart, "I just don't understand, he is also a little too smart, right?"

Wu Caiyang was indeed a little confused, because since he paid attention to Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang's performance can be said to have a brilliant stroke everywhere. While he was amazed, he also felt that Xia Xiang had political wisdom that was inconsistent with his age. Some of his performances can even be described as amazing.

Moreover, after Li Yanhong's secret investigation, it was found that Xia Xiang had no economic problems, and he could be said to be innocent, like a piece of white paper.

If Xia Xiang was not too cautious, or he was indeed not greedy, nor did he take it or not.

Li Yanhong prefers the latter because he has been in the Discipline Inspection Commission system for many years and knows that no matter how careful a corrupt official is, he will still be exposed. As long as he is greedy, there will definitely be traces to be found once he is greedy.

However, Li Yanhong did not find that Xia Xiang had any use of power for personal gain, which made him feel more fond of Xia Xiang. As Xia Xiang's age is a deputy department-level senior official and the district mayor of the ruling area, he does not have any meat and fish on his body. It cannot be said that it is unique and extremely rare.

If Li Yanhong's secret investigation of Xia Xiang's economic problems was not enough to make Wu Caiyang look up to Xia Xiang, then Xia Xiang's performance in a series of events would have to make Wu Caiyang change his previous views step by step towards Xia Xiang, and from all prejudice, it has changed slightly.

The first thing was that when the old man took action to suppress Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang's performance shocked Wu Caiyang for the first time.

With the old man's authority and skills, with the thunder attack, Xia Xiang just turned around and changed from the secretary to the district chief. He changed a horse instead of dismounting the horse, which shocked Wu Caiyang at Xia Xiang's superb skills. Of course, it was also because of Chen Feng and Song Chaodu and others who worked hard to protect Xia Xiang, but if Xia Xiang had not had a deep connection, who would have strongly protected him? This forced Wu Caiyang to think deeply about the meaning of it. A person with a bottomless grassroots background is not very old and has a low level, but many senior officials above the deputy provincial government are extremely respectful to him, and they have to resist the pressure of the Wu family and support Xia Xiang on the horse. Xia Xiang, what amazing influence does it have in fact made countless old officials who have been ups and downs for more than ten years risk offending the Wu family and support him. What is he relying on?

Politics has never been a product of warmth. Wu Caiyang would not think that Chen Feng, Song Chaodu and others support Xia Xiang is a manifestation of lack of political wisdom. It is not easy for people who can climb to the sub-provincial high position. He does not think that it is because they have deep feelings for Xia Xiang. Political figures are also human beings and will be influenced by emotional factors. However, when facing major choices for their own future, their feelings will be pale and powerless, and interests will rise to the top.

In other words, they are willing to ignore the pressure of the Wu family rather than protect Xia's thoughts, which proves that Xia's thoughts are more weighty in their eyes than the Wu family, whether in terms of emotions or interests!

This made Wu Caiyang puzzled. A deputy department-level cadre who had just become the district mayor has limited influence to Yan City. Why do many people value him?

No matter how confused he is, there are many things that are puzzling in politics. Not to mention the far-reaching ones, even if Gao Chengsong, the Secretary of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, was the preference and indulgence for his secretary Wu Peiyong, made outsiders unable to understand. Wu Peiyong's arrogance and arrogance outside Gao Chengsong knew very well. He knew that Wu Peiyong was a poor person and had personality flaws, and he had heard others' dissatisfaction with Wu Peiyong many times, but he couldn't make up his mind to criticize Wu Peiyong. He kept turning a blind eye, which made many people confused and puzzled. He didn't understand what Wu Peiyong was good about, and made Gao Chengsong so indulge him?

Going far away, Qianlong's favor for He Kun was the only one at the time, which shows that emotional factors can sometimes become a decisive force in politics.

Shortly after Xia Xiang became the mayor of Xia Ma District, Wu Caiyang received a reply from Li Yanhong, saying that after investigation, it was found that Xia Xiang had no economic problems. It can be said that he was shockingly innocent and showed no signs of power and money transactions. Li Yanhong summarized the reasons why Xia Xiang had no economic problems into two points. First, Xia Xiang's wife Cao Shuyan was smart and capable, and the design company she opened could make millions of yuan a year. Second, Xia Xiang himself has a superb business acumen. He also has a certain talent in project design and grasping the market. Moreover, there have been many successful cases before. It is not difficult for him to make money, so he is not like other officials. He has no way to go except embezzle. He has a way, so he will not be greedy.

Wu Caiyang was born in a family. He has never lacked money since he was a child and has no idea about money. He hated corrupt officials the most in his life. Xia Xiang's style of not being greedy and not taking anything has changed his impression of Xia Xiang a bit. He no longer thinks that Xia Xiang is useless. Not only does he have deep connections in Yan City and Yan Province, but his own quality is also strong enough, and he has certain advantages.

Then the Wu family and the Fu family fought each other again.

In fact, when Mr. Wu first used the method of disrupting the situation by suppressing Xia Xiang in Yan City, Wu Caiyang could see it at a glance. Although he and the old man never talked about heart and were both politically independent, the old man was his father after all, and he was still very familiar with his style and common techniques. Although his style after entering politics was not the same as that of the old man, he also benefited from the old man's words and deeds in many aspects.

Wu Caiyang knew that the old man had started to make arrangements in Yan City. Suppressing Xia Xiang was just a reason and a beginning. What the old man wanted was not just that Xia Xiang could not get the throne of the district party secretary. What he wanted was the entire Yan City. In the long run, he might also want to focus on the entire Yan Province.

Because in the ten-year plan of the State Council, in the near future, it will work with four cities and 13 counties in Yan Province surrounding the capital to build a Great Beijing Economic Circle, integrate the resources of Yan Province and the capital, and form a Great Beijing Economic Circle with a total area of ​​27,000 square kilometers and a total population of 4.85 million. Only the government's investment in the early stage and the possible social capital will be estimated to be around one trillion yuan. In addition, preliminary negotiations with Yan Province have been conducted and preliminary intentions have been reached.

As a result, the importance of Yan Province suddenly jumped to the forefront of each province.

In fact, although Yan Province's economy is not very developed and has little influence on the domestic market, in the eyes of the senior management of the capital, the importance of a province is not only an economic indicator, but also an irreplaceable geographical location. For example, although Lingnan Province has a large economic output, its geographical location determines that Lingnan Province's strategic importance in a certain aspect is far less than that of Minnan Province, because Minnan Province and Taiwan Province are far away from each other. Similarly, Yan Province has unique importance among all provinces in the country, because Yan Province is the only province in the country that surrounds the capital. If it is large and broad, it is the only province surrounding Beijing and Tianjin.

Yan City is the last southern gate of the capital. Although the garrison of Yan City is not famous, Yan City has the best army command academy in the country, known as China's West Point Military Academy, and also has a very large tank training base. Of course, there is also a mysterious Second Artillery that is terrifyingly hidden in the mountains in the western part of Yan City. It is China's most powerful and shocking land-based force.

Because of such important geographical location and political advantages, if the economic scale is further improved and the Great Capital Economic Circle is built, Yan Province is likely to restore its former courage and influence when it was Zhili, and become the veritable gateway province in the capital.
